168 A gentleman's strategy

After getting the news, his subordinates also thought about it for a long time, thinking that Mr. Xu had indeed chosen to encircle Wei to save Zhao, and the city he chose was Chaisang. Zhuge Liang's eyes were clear, and he was obviously in his chest.

"What?" Liu Bei jumped when he heard this: "How is it possible! Not to mention that Chaisang is one of the three counties besieging Jianchang this time, and it is the farthest from Changsha. Just saying that Chaisang is adjacent to the Yangtze River, and going to the riverside is just a matter of lifting his legs, how can he be surrounded?"

"It's not clear to this subordinate...... But Chaisan is indeed the best choice for the implementation of this plan. Zhuge Liang said firmly. Liu Bei heard that he stood in front of the screen embroidered with the approximate location of Jiangnan County and watched carefully, and was silent for a long time. It took a long time before he spit out a sentence in a decadent manner: "Isn't it ridiculous that you are still planning far-reaching for others at this time? Childe, do you have any news there?"

The son is Liu Qi, at this moment Liu Qi is like a lamb in captivity by wolves, in order to seize Jingzhou, Liu Bei can do anything. Just like Xu Shu's analysis, Liu Bei uses Liu Qi as a chess piece, which has no impact on Changsha now, but in the near future, this influence will spread over and bring her endless trouble.

The approaching New Year and the victory in the war made it a peaceful and joyful one. Although Jianchang City was dilapidated, and although most of the soldiers were killed and wounded, they could not dilute the joy of people's hearts. Kou Yan ordered the whole city to have a holiday to recuperate.

In the blink of an eye, the time sequence has arrived in March of the eleventh year of Jian'an. The first batch of compensation materials on the animal side officially docked. According to the final agreement between Kou Yan and Sun Quan, Jiangdong compensated 50 elite shipwrights in Changsha for the first batch, 300 high-class warships, 10,000 catties of gold, 30,000 catties of pig iron, 200,000 stones of grain, 20,000 prisoners of Shanyue, and 2,000 horses of silk. The rest of the supplies will be paid in full within half a year.

With these materials, the reconstruction of Jianchang City was officially put on the agenda. Kou Yan not only wanted to rebuild the city of Jianchang, but also to build it on a larger scale and stronger than before, strengthen the economic construction of Jianchang, expand the population, and make it a veritable county. This is also the reason why she deliberately wrote the Shanyue captives in the list of supplies.

All 20,000 Shanyue were incorporated into the army and trained by Huang Zhong himself. Those soldiers who shed their blood to defend Jianchang City were given wasteland outside Jianchang City by the government and exempted from taxes for ten years. In addition, each person will be rewarded with a pound of gold as start-up capital, so that they can become new landlords supported by the government, and with them as the foundation, I believe that in the near future, Jianchang will be truly prosperous, and the actual territory controlled by Kou Yan will become larger and larger.

Although there are only 300 ships, these are high-quality ships that represent today's top shipbuilding technology, with 50 elite shipwrights, the Changsha Navy will have its own shipbuilding industry chain in the future, and the legend of the Jiangdong Navy alone in the world can only be a legend in the future.

After the victory of this war, Wei Yan's psychological shadow was completely lifted. Kou Yan was impressed by his ability to defend the city, Huang Zhong really didn't recommend the wrong person, just a good general. In the future, the position of General Jianchang belongs to him, and he will be in charge of the border defense, and Changsha will have peace of mind.

However, not everything is so smooth. Huang Zhong besieged Chaisang, not only did not leak a drop of water, but also did not enter a drop of water. Under his strict orders, the Changsha army really did not take anything, and returned the city of Chaisang to Sun Quan intact. This made Kou Yan very disappointed but helpless. She can't blame the old general for being so straightforward and inflexible.

Chaisang City is Zhou Yu's old nest, its treasury is equivalent to Zhou Yu's private property, the dignified governor of Jiangdong, the first person under the throne of Wu, Sun Ce's minister of Tuogu, how rich his small treasury should be! Zhou Yu will definitely not thank Huang Zhong, maybe the next time the two armies confront, Zhou Yu will also take revenge for the siege, so Huang Zhong's approach is completely unnecessary in Kou Yan's opinion. We don't slaughter the city, but we can't return to Zhao so noble, right?

There is only one good thing like besieging Chaisang, and you want to have a chance to do such a vote next time unless you knock down the whole of Soochow. For the current Kou Yan, isn't it a fool's dream! These thoughts can only be thought about in her heart. She wouldn't offend Huang Zhong for such an unwarranted thing. After all, the friendship is there, even if there is no friendship, she doesn't want to be Liu Pan's second!

With nothing to do, Kou Yan suddenly remembered that he had promised his sister a long time ago to take her out hunting, and he was too busy to take care of eating, so he could afford to hunt. Now that things are straightened out, it's time to make my sister happy and relaxed.

Just do it, and the next day, Kou Yan took his sister and Deng Ai, Ma Jian and Sun Shao, who was almost recuperated, and drove to the suburbs with the guards and servants. To be honest, today is also the first time in Kou Yan's two lives combined. I used to envy those noble daughters who had nothing to do, and took house slaves and eagle dogs to go out to have fun. It's not really for a few prey, but for the enjoyment of this unbridled joy.

Freshly dressed and angry, Kou Yan was dressed as a teenager, walking in the forest with a bow and arrows on his back. She didn't know how to wield a bow, and she actually forgot about her riding skills, but that didn't stop her from enjoying the hunt. By her side, Deng Ai never left, and Ma Jian was also very excited, but Sun Shao, who had just recovered from a long illness, looked depressed.

As the son of Sun Ce, the world-famous little overlord, Sun Shao did not inherit Sun Ce's courage at all, but inherited his mother's kindness and heart that is not good at killing, which made Kou Yan shake his head or shake his head: It is strange that a group of children raised by women in the house can be ambitious. It's a pity that the little overlord I became famous and became a joke to his son.

However, Kou Yan didn't think there was anything wrong with Sun Shao like this, she couldn't let Sun Shao go to war and learn from his father to dominate the party. With Sun Shao's current situation, he only has the living path of studying and learning. Kou Yan felt that if he had ambition, he might have been killed by Sun Quan a long time ago, and he would have died so much that there were no bones left.

As the sun set, the group packed up the spoils and went home, but the sky was not beautiful halfway, and it suddenly rained heavily. When everyone returned to the house, they all became chickens and wolves. At first, Kou Yan thought that this rain was just a little water sprinkled by the sky, but he didn't expect that this rain was just the beginning, and after this day, the rain poured down, and it couldn't stop.
