Guan Yu's identity in Liu Bei's camp is not comparable to anyone else. Many people believe in secret that he and Xuandegong are simply one and two, two and one.
It is normal to have such an idea. After all, in the past nearly thirty years, Guan Yu has been the siblings and arms of Duke Xuande, and it is the most dependent force.
In terms of personal courage, Guan Yu is recognized as one of the few enemies in the world, and even the strongest among them. In the battle of the White Horse, he rode alone to assault and killed Yan Liang among the troops, and there was no one who could do it. At this level of courage, his great power was no longer human.
In terms of commanding troops to defeat the attack, Guan Yu was also the top famous general in the world. Not to mention his early achievements, he only talked about what Lei Yuan witnessed with his own eyes. When Zhou Lang besieged Jiangling, Guan Yu was ordered to deprive North Road. With only three thousand partial divisions, he forced his retreat to retreat for a year, including Xu Huang, Le Jin, Man Chong, Li Tong and other heavy generals of Cao camp, and even forced Li Tong to die in the army.
For decades, no matter how poor and difficult Duke Xuande was in, as long as Guan Yu was still alive, Duke Xuande would have a chance to turn the tables. Sometimes Lei Yuan would think that this was a bit similar to the international politics of later generations. No matter how poor or weak the country was, as long as there were a few atomic bombs that could explode, his back would always be hard.
Now Duke Xuande has led the main army into Shu, leaving Guan Yu to supervise the affairs of Jingzhou, and entrusts half of his territory to Guan Yu. His position alone cannot be described.
Such a heavyweight figure must be treated solemnly by visiting Lei Yuan's house in person.
Lei Yuan hurriedly left his seat, accused everyone of guilt, and then quickly walked out to greet him. Fortunately, the house was not big, and when he arrived, Guan Yu had just stepped into the main gate, and the knights behind him dismounted one after another.
"I was waiting to see General Guan early tomorrow morning. I didn't expect that General Guan would be bothered to visit him. Please forgive me." Lei Yuan bowed and said.
Guan Yu helped Lei Yuan up to pay tribute: "There is no need to pay too much ritual to continue it."
At this time, the guests in the house came out in a mess and greeted each other.
Guan Yu waved his hand: "I have something to talk to Xuzhi, you all will break up!"
Everyone said goodbye repeatedly.
Lei Yuan didn't mind their departure. These were all relatives of Chen Dao and Xiahou Lan, villagers, and so on. When he came here, he only talked about gossip. He summoned the servants and asked them to clean up the main hall quickly. He also asked Deng Tong and He Song to entertain the knights who accompanied Guan Yu in the wing room.
When the placement was completed, he asked: "General Guan, please go up to the stairs."
Guan Yu strode to the court.
He was more than half a head taller than Lei Yuan, and his physique was far more majestic. Perhaps because he heard that Lei Yuan had arrived in Jiangling, he came to visit him temporarily, wearing only a simple casual dress, wearing hemp shoes, and covering the fur. The fur was a little old, with several marks of wear and patching, and several furs fell off. He did not wear a crown, but simply combed a messy bun, and a gauze bag hanging on his chest, containing his beautiful beard that was famous all over the world.
After he was honest and unceremonious, Lei Yuan turned to the Prime Minister to accompany him.
Guan Yu looked at Lei Yuan and saw that Lei Yuan was also wearing a dark gray casual suit. He had no luxurious ornaments except a fur-filled arm guard, which was very simple. He sat on the side calmly, straightened his waist and back, leaned forward slightly, neither humble nor arrogant, and had a demeanor.
"Zilong found a good son-in-law." Guan Yu couldn't help but think: "It's a pity that my daughter is not in harmony with her age. It's a pity, it's a pity."
He also noticed that although Lei Yuan was wearing a regular costume, he looked heroic and had the power of a warrior in his actions. From the cuff of his right arm, a hideous scar was extended to the back of his hand. Guan Yu said in his heart: "Although he seems humble, he actually does not hesitate to kill people and kill people without hesitation. He is worthy of being a rising star in troubled times."
The two of them talked for a while, and Guan Yu asked, "I heard that Xu Zhi was in Zigui, and killed the local tyrants, county magistrates and county officials who invaded the registered households?"
Lei Yuan nodded and said, "This is indeed the case."
"Are the relevant cases confirmed?"
"The case was tried twice before and after, Xiang Lang, the governor of Yidu County, personally. The first one was the relevant persons in Yidao City, and the second one was the people in Zigui County, all of whom were confirmed. The relevant case files and evidence have been summarized and are on the way to Jiangling. It is expected that they will be delivered to Pan Chengming tomorrow. Because there is still war in Jingbei, I will kill the criminals first to determine the place."
Pan Chengming was a member of the Jingzhou ruling. Before Duke Xuande entered Shu, he authorized Pan Jun to practice Liuzhou as his identity as the member of the Jingzhou ruling, which is the person in charge of the government affairs of Jingzhou. This ruthless king was known for his conscience. In the past, when Liu Jingsheng ruled Jingzhou, he dared to kill the 600-stone officials who violated the law.
Guan Yu nodded slightly and asked again: "How many people have been killed?"
"Including those who were killed for resisting arrest, in Yidao and Zigui, a total of 146 people were killed."
"Kill one hundred and forty-six people in one go?" Guan Yu chuckled: "Shuzhi, are you trying to imitate those cruel officials?"
For four hundred years, local tyrants were everywhere, and the struggle between the court and the tyrants never stopped. Any local officials who dared to use ruthless means of raiding homes and exterminated clans to fight against the powerful and implementing court governance were called "rude officials", which is not a derogatory term.
"There are creeping tigers in the mountains, and only then can the jackals and foxes know how to be afraid and restrain themselves. If they can follow the laws, they don't have to worry about anything."
Lei Yuan explained: "Zigui County is located deep in Jiangxia, with the clan power and the power of the court is very weak. So the Wen and Deng families who were punished in this way rely on their clans and Nuke to control the villages, which is like separatist; on the other hand, they also spread their children and spread throughout Hexian County. Once such deeply rooted clans do evil, they are enough to isolate the control of the prefectures and counties over the local area, which is extremely harmful. They must take fierce measures and punish them with painful punishment."
The Lei family of Lujiang itself is the number one tyrant in Yidu County. Lei Yuan said so righteously that Guan Yu felt it was ridiculous for a moment, but it was irrefutable.
"The aristocratic family, the tyrants and unlawful acts, is the source of chaos in this world. Since he became the prefect, it is also ordinary to deal with a group of people." Guan Yu pondered for a moment, determined not to worry about the situation in Yidu, and asked instead: "You have cleaned up both Yidao and Zigui. Where is Jiangling?"
Lei Yuan held the desk with his hand and bowed, "I have to worry about Jiangling affairs, including Mi Fang, the prefect of Nanjun, and Pan Jun, the governor of Jingzhou.
Guan Yu nodded, and when he was about to speak, he heard Lei Yuan continue, "But, tens of thousands of weapons flowed out of Yidu County, and he didn't know where to go. This is not a trivial matter. I am the prefect of Yidu. I should be fine if I ask a few questions?"
Guan Yu was silent for a long time.
