He was lying on the bed, and his bodyguard was applying medicine.
The treatment of the Thirty Army Sticks was not a show, but a real beating. Although the soldiers responsible for the execution were experienced and did not hurt Guan Yu's bones, when the Thirty Army Sticks came down, his buttocks were bloody and bloody.
Even if you apply medicine, you have to clean the wound first, so it hurts the most when you clean it bit by bit. Guan Yu frowned and his maroon face turned red, looking very painful. However, Guan Yu didn't say a word and endured it.
After a long time, the wound was treated, sprinkled with gold sore medicine, and carefully bandaged. The soldiers retreated, and Guan Yu lay down on the bed to rest.
He has no regrets at all.
Killing Yan Xing this time made him feel happy.
The only thing that surprised him was that the king not only did not scold him harshly, but instead lightly scolded him for thirty years and then gently put it down. This arrangement made Guan Yu very touched.
While Guan Yu was thinking, the curtain of the tent door suddenly lifted, and a burst of footsteps came.
Guan Yu looked up and saw Lu Xuan coming. He raised his eyebrows and was very surprised, but he put his hands on the bed and prepared to stand up and salute.
Lu Xuan quickly walked two steps in front of Guan Yu, held Guan Yu down, and said with a smile: "Yun Chang, no need to be polite."
Guan Yu said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding."
Lu Xuan sat aside and asked: "Yun Chang, I have beaten you with thirty military sticks, do you have any complaints?"
Guan Yu's maroon face showed deep emotion, and he said: "The last general is good at killing surrendered generals, especially at the critical moment when he just captured Longguan. The last general's actions will have a great impact on the king's capture of Liangzhou and stabilizing the morale of the army.
It had a huge impact.”
"However, the king only reprimanded the general for thirty years. This was the king's grace. How could the general dare to complain anymore? In the general's heart, it was too late to thank the king. I thanked the king for fulfilling the little general's thoughts."
He was thinking about Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, his eyes were slightly red, and his heart was still a little sad.
Lu Xuan patted Guan Yu on the shoulder and comforted him: "This man has passed away. You have to look forward and consider the future."
Guan Yu said: "The general will finally understand."
Lu Xuan changed the subject and said in a deep voice: "You killed Yan Xing this time, which caused my king's plan for Liangzhou to go awry. Without Yan Xing to take charge of the overall situation, you have to take the blame and shoulder the responsibility."
Guan Yu looked obligated and said loudly: "The last general has no shirking duty and obeys the king's arrangements."
Lu Xuan said: "I want you to be the General of Zhenxi and lead the army to guard Xiliang. The number of your army is tentatively set at 30,000 elite men. Your mission is to wipe out the bandits and rebellious officials in Liangzhou."
Guan Yu was stunned for a moment.
He was a little surprised.
This is not asking him to take advantage of his crimes; it is clearly entrusting him with a heavy responsibility.
Thinking of this, Guan Yu was even more moved and felt ashamed in his heart, so he said: "Your Majesty, I have failed to live up to your high expectations. Killing Yan Xing this time has had a very bad impact on your Majesty."
Lu Xuan smiled softly and said: "If the Guan Yu that I admire has given up even the most basic friendship, maybe you, Guan Yu, are not the Guan Yu that people respect. Things have pros and cons. As long as you recognize it, the price is worth it.
.Do your job well, I look forward to the day when you can pacify Liangzhou."
After hearing Lu Xuan's words, Guan Yu was moved and at the same time high-spirited. He looked determined and said loudly: "The general will definitely live up to the king's high expectations."
Lu Xuan stood up and said, "Take good care of your injuries."
Guan Yu said: "Your Majesty, walk slowly."
Lu Xuan waved his hand and strode away. He returned to the Chinese army's tent. Not long after, Zhou Yu entered and saluted: "Your Majesty!"
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "Gong Jin, sit down and talk."
Zhou Yu sat down and said: "Your Majesty, I have heard about Guan Yu's affairs. Your arrangement this time is very clever. With Yan Xing dead, things in Liangzhou will become simpler and there will be no constraints."
Lu Xuan smiled softly and said: "I have arranged for Jia Xu to serve as the governor of Liangzhou, and Guan Yu to serve as the general of Zhenxi to stay in Liangzhou. In addition, Zhong Yao will serve as the governor of Liang to assist Jia Xu in his work. Gong Jin, you have reorganized the army.
Transfer 30,000 men to Guan Yu. He will be responsible for the raids on Liangzhou, and we are ready to withdraw our troops."
"I understand!"
Zhou Yu answered directly.
He thought for a while and continued: "As for Yizhou, the army led by Gan Ning, Zhao Yun, Zhang Ren and others are still in Wudu County. Generally speaking, Wudu County has captured it. Will you arrange for someone to notify Gan Ning and let him
Are you ready to evacuate? Leave the subsequent war to Jia Xu and Guan Yu for unified command."
Lu Xuan thought for a while and ordered: "In my name, please arrange for someone to deliver a message telling Gan Ning that he has captured Wudu County, and then leave it to Jia Xu. He will lead the army back to Yizhou to guard it, and Zhao Yun will lead the army back to Nanjing."
.In addition, Jia Xu, please inform me to avoid problems."
Zhou Yu nodded again and continued: "Your Majesty, Jizhou and Bingzhou have been captured, but no one is responsible. People are also needed to govern the place. They cannot remain empty. There will be no problem in a short time, but it will cause trouble after a long time."
Lu Xuan asked: "What do you think of Gong Jin?"
Zhou Yu replied: "The appointment and dismissal of officials in various places are first made by Zhang Shangshu of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and secondly by the king's sacred heart. In any case, it is not my turn to make arrangements. In addition, this is not what I am good at."
Lu Xuan joked: "Don't I know what Zhou Gongjin is capable of? Tell me what you think."
Zhou Yu said: "I have one point of view. The people around the king must be responsible for local governance. Anyone can arrange it. Cao Cao's people must not be allowed to intervene in the local governance. Or, Yuan Shao's people can be arranged. In a word,
Under the current circumstances, Cao Cao’s people cannot be arranged.”
Lu Xuandao: "Just tell me who to choose."
Zhou Yu said: "Your Majesty, as for the candidate for the governor of Jizhou, I think that Kuai Yue is more suitable. The other people are either too young or are not suitable from Cao Cao. Kuai Yue was released from the Ministry of Punishment.
suitable."
Lu Xuan thought for a while, nodded and said: "Where is Bingzhou?"
Zhou Yu said: "I think Jushu is the suitable candidate for the governor of Bingzhou. On the one hand, Jushu has opened the gate of Taiyuan City. It is impossible for people of the Yuan family to cooperate with Jushu. Jushu must be loyal to the king. In addition, Jushu is capable, so I am sure
It’s no problem.”
Lu Xuan looked approvingly and said: "Gong Jin is as good as seeing fire and his talent is outstanding. He is indeed well-deserved."
Zhou Yu said: "The king has given you a reward."
Lu Xuan continued to ask: "Where are the candidates for the garrison?"
Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "I don't understand."
Lu Xuan chuckled twice and said: "That's all, don't tell me that I won't force myself. This time, Gao Shun will be sent to Bingzhou to guard the place. In addition, Yan Yan will be arranged to go to Jizhou to assist Kuai Yue and sweep away the bandits in Jizhou."
"Great King Shengming!"
Zhou Yu nodded and answered.
Lu Xuan stared at Zhou Yu and said: "Gong Jin, there are many civil servants and generals around me who have been sent abroad. They cannot all be surrendered. I also have some ideas about your official position."
