206 Those who can work harder
Sure enough, before it was an hour, the old servant at the door came again: "Master, Master Jiang is here to visit." Kou Yan made a distressed look: "Mr. Zhang, please forgive me for my abrupt crime, can you borrow a secluded place?"
"It's really interesting to have a little Taishou, who can't live in the house, but comes to work here with the old man. "That being said, the old man still asked the old servant just now to take Kou Yan and Jiang Wan to a room dedicated to decocting medicines. As soon as he entered the door, a strong smell of medicine came to his face, and the old servant hurriedly went over to open the window for ventilation: "The two adults are wronged to stay here for a while, and the villain will arrange for tea." ”
"It's hard old man, you go and rest, there is no need to be served here. Kou Yan said kindly. The old servant silently retreated. Only then did Kou Yan turn to face Jiang Wan: "Senior brother is coming so fast, I would like to think about relaxing for another hour." ”
"As soon as you entered the city, your subordinates and Mr. Xu had already received the news. In the past few days of your absence, many things have happened, and your subordinates cannot fail to report them in time. Jiang Wan bowed to the end. "Hey, okay, tell me, where is our General Zuo now?" Kou Yan sighed, knowing that this question could not be avoided, so he simply asked straight to the point. "I have already boarded the ship to Jiangxia, and Captain Gan is in charge of this matter. Jiang Wan told the truth: "In addition, Captain Cen has returned, and the more than 3,000 people he brought back have been preliminarily resettled. ”
"It's only more than three thousand ......" Kou Yan frowned: "So little?" "It's already a lot, Uncle Huang has been operating in Xinye for many years but has not developed, where the people, most of them have been conscripted into the army, this time Cao thief went south, not all the people chose to flee, Captain Cen said, there are a lot left, plus the ...... who escaped"
"Also, although Nanyang County is a big county, but Xinye is a small county, otherwise Liu Jingzhou would not be so generous to others, these days will be the peak period for fleeing, you must be prepared to search and respond, everyone is very precious!" Kou Yan groaned. "The subordinates understand. Jiang Wan bowed: "In addition to Xinye's matter, there is another thing. "Sit down and say. Kou Yan personally poured water for Jiang Wan for a night and handed it to him. After Jiang Wan bowed down and thanked him, he sat opposite Kou Yan: "Lingling Taishou Ma Liang came to report, saying that the Wuxi Yi clan was willing to submit to Changsha, but they proposed to negotiate with Changsha Taishou face-to-face. ”
"Negotiation?" Kou Yan frowned, she didn't like to hear the word negotiation very much, it reminded her of Lu Su and Zhang Wen. These two people came to negotiate with her, and they were so domineering even though they lost the battle, which was really hateful. Now the Wuxi barbarians have to negotiate again, and they say that they want to be obedient, but who knows what they are thinking in their bones.
"Yes, they want you to visit Lingling in person. Jiang Wan told the truth. "What does Senior Brother mean?" Kou Yan was very repulsed in his heart, but he didn't show it at all on his face, but humbly asked what Jiang Wan meant. This is a big deal, and if Wuxi can be submissive, the border of Changsha will be much calmer. The strength can go up a notch. She can't be presumptuous, she must focus on the overall situation.
"My subordinates think it's better for you not to go. Jiang Wan said solemnly. Kou Yan's eyes lit up: "Oh, how can you say this?" She thought that Jiang Wan would persuade her to go, but she didn't expect the other party's opinion to be the same as her own.
"What is your identity? What is their identity? Since you want to be obedient, you have to show your obedience. The subordinates feel that it is enough for Ji Chang to come forward to do this, and you don't need to come forward. Jiang Wan explained.
"Senior brother is reasonable, it should be done this way. Kou Yan nodded and agreed: "In addition, I also thought of a question, the barbarians are rude, and the people are fierce, and they are cunning, let Ji Chang be careful, don't want to follow their way." Turned around and brought two things to Ji Chang, a pound of gold and a dagger. Let him tell those barbarians, this is what Changsha meant. ”
It should be noted that the so-called gold of this era actually refers to brass. Not gold in the modern sense of the word. Money and life depend on how the other party chooses. The reason why the barbarians defected to Changsha was nothing more than yearning for the Central Plains culture and the life of fine clothes and food. These Changsha can be provided, but only if they put down their butcher knives and turn from wolves to sheep.
Jiang Wan very much agreed with Kou Yan's idea, and through Guò's conversation, he had a new understanding of his little junior sister. The previous concerns about her dissipated a lot: "The subordinates understand. In addition, Jiangxia's side ...... What to do with ......"
"That's something that the eldest prince has to worry about, and it has nothing to do with us. I think the teacher must have informed Captain Gan of the precautions. Hey, this time Cao Ren went south to Xinye, and if he didn't catch the person to be arrested, he would definitely not give up, and we would have to carry this account at that time, and I don't know if we can carry it. Kou Yan said half-jokingly.
Jiang Wan frowned: "Time is indeed running out...... What are your plans?" "I'm here, I can't run...... Senior brother, are people outside not optimistic about Changsha now?" Kou Yan asked deliberately.
"The people of Changsha still have a lot of confidence in you. Jiang Wan was vague. Kou Yan laughed: "Senior brother, you are too polite, you are self-aware, I don't think the common people will have any confidence in a teenage female doll, if you have, it is also for you, and in the teacher." And I have faith because of your help. Senior brother, we will get through this crisis smoothly, and I believe that I believe in you even more. ”
Jiang Wan was not moved by Kou Yan's sensational "confession", or he didn't put the emotion on his face: "Mr. Xu has a way." "The teacher has always been a good student. Kou Yan gave him an affirmative response: "Now it depends on the reaction of the eldest prince." ”
"My subordinates will do their best to report to you on the progress of Wuxi over there. Jiang Wan stood up: "Farewell." Kou Yan shook his head: "It is estimated that when there is a result over there, I will go back, senior brother, you can let me loosen it for a few more days!"
"Changsha can't be left without an owner for a day. Jiang Wan said this, but the corners of his mouth turned up: "Subordinates retire!" Kou Yan pretended to be very distressed and patted his head: "Oops...... It's a hard ......."
After Jiang Wan left, Kou Yan returned to the door of Zhang Zhongjing's study, where Sun Shaozheng was standing waiting for her: "Mr. said, if you want to stay here for two days, Ah Fu will arrange a room for you." ”
"Hehe, the old man understands my mind. Kou Yan smiled, and said in his heart that he really deserved to be a person who had been too guarded. Fortunately, he has a deep affection for Changsha, otherwise she is really not sure that she can keep him! Thinking of this, she suddenly looked Sun Shao up and down: "Do you want to stay and study medicine?"
