Jingnan, Changsha County, Malan Mountain.

This mountain is named after the horse pens built here to raise horses during "Guan Gong's War in Changsha".

At this moment, Liao Li, the governor of Changsha, was standing among them.

I saw the surrounding green mountains and gurgling streams, which looked like a beautiful picture of mountains and rivers.

However, Liao Li had no time to appreciate it. He just chirped and looked at Guanshan Mountain on the other side...

That is also Guanshan, which is famous for Guan Gong's battle in Changsha.

According to legend, it was on this Guan Mountain that Guan Yu and Huang Zhong fought twice.

In the first game, Guan Yu lured Huang Zhong here and wanted to win by "dragging the sword", but he didn't expect... Before he could "drag the sword", Huang Zhong's horse fell first.

Guan Yu released Huang Zhong and asked him to change his horse and fight again tomorrow.

In the second game, Huang Zhong used his bow. He first drew it but did not fire. Guan Yu thought that the opponent did not know how to use arrows and was trying to bluff people. Who would have thought that at this time... the third arrow shot out and hit Guan Yu's helmet!

This caused Guan Yu to be surprised again and again.

Today, seven years have passed since Guan Gong fought in Changsha, but the large number of arrow towers and camps on Guan Mountain are especially visible.

only…

These still couldn't attract Liao Li's attention. All his attention was on the river between the two mountains.

Recently, many people have gathered here...

Nominally, these people are merchants, and they gather near Guanshan to trade goods...but...anyone with a discerning eye can't see what kind of goods are worthy of dispatching so many people?

This also made Liao Li's mood always tense.

I'm afraid, this is another catastrophe in Changsha!

It's another raid from Jiangdong...or Jiaozhou!

After all, the last time... Lu Meng raided Jingnan, it was so vivid in my mind... as if it was right before my eyes.

If the Fourth Young Master Guan Lin hadn't predicted it in advance and Guan Yu had made arrangements in advance, then Changsha today would probably have been named "Sun", and Liao Li, if his skin was gone, how could he be attached to General Mao?

Just then.

"Prefect Liao..."

A literary official reported: "General Liu Pan came from Jingzhou and said that Guan Gong had important matters and asked him to report them."

"Quickly pass!" Liao Li did not dare to neglect and greeted quickly.

Not long after, Liu Pan was brought over. He looked very tired...

Even if there is a waterway during the 600-mile expedited journey, you can take a break, but it is not a joke!

However, when he saw Liao Li, Liu Pan immediately picked up his spirits and got straight to the point... "Prefect Liao, I will not say any more pleasantries. Guan Gong has something to say, and ordered Prefect Liao to pay close attention to the places where merchants gathered in Changsha County. An informant reported back

News, foreign merchants want to trade a piece of goods here!"

Liao Li shared Guan Yu's original words. "When merchants trade, it is inevitable that there will be price discrepancies, and occasionally there will be violent fights. If you encounter an emergency, you can make a decisive decision and take extraordinary measures!"

this…

Liu Pan's words blurted out, and Liao Li was slightly startled.

Guan Gong, what does this mean?

Indeed, many merchant ships have docked nearby recently.

But...if it is determined to be a normal transaction among merchants, then why bother?

How can there be the following sentence - in extraordinary times, you can make a decisive decision and take extraordinary measures!

Liao Li pondered.

——"Why does Guan Gong sound like he is asking us officers and soldiers to rob it?"

Immediately, Liao Li asked urgently: "General Liu, does he know what Guan Gong means?"

"This...I don't know." Liu Pan shook his head, but he still took out a handwritten letter from Guan Yu.

Of course, the content in this handwritten letter is the same as what he just reported.

Liao Li took the handwritten letter and read it hastily. He didn't find any difference and was about to continue asking.

But I saw a small note falling from the handwriting.

Liao Li was curious, so he quickly picked up the note and opened it to take a look, but it didn't matter if he didn't read it. When he saw it, Liao Li was stunned for a moment.

Then, he looked at Liu Pan with infinite surprise.

Liu Pan didn't know why, so he also came over... to read the content on the note.

I saw the small note saying - "Tomorrow at noon, there will be a surprise in the cave at the foot of Guanshan Mountain. The prefect must lead his troops here. There will be something harvested, no sooner than later!"

As for this unexplained note, Liu Pan and Liao Li were still at a loss.

But... the signature on the note was a bit shocking.

Because the signature is nothing else, but just three words - Hong Qigong!

This note...was stuffed in by Hong Qigong?

Can…

Liu Pan trembled all over, "I came out of Guan Mansion with only Guan Gong's handwriting and went all the way south. Even the posthouse never stopped for a long time. When was this note inserted?"

This is quite scary...

Liao Li was even more confused. He asked, "General Liu is asking this prefect?"

Well…

Suddenly the atmosphere became a little awkward.

Liu Pan opened his mouth, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.

It was Liao Li. After pondering for a long time, he finally said: "Is there a possibility that this note... was given by Hong Qigong to General Guan? General Guan lent it to you and handed it over to this prefect!"

this…

Liao Li's conjecture was too bold, but it made Liu Pan's eyes fixed. He quickly said: "Is this... could it be so?"

Before Liu Pan could continue to speak, Liao Li's intriguing words were heard first.

"No matter what, at noon tomorrow... we will order troops to go to the Guanshan cave!"

"Haha, I am a little curious about the surprise in the Guanshan cave!"
