No matter in the eyes of outsiders, Liu Bei is a wise boss or a partner worthy of trust. None of them count here in Kou Yan. She always used the Liu Bei she knew as a reference. How can this kind of treacherous villain, who turns his face faster than a book, form an alliance with him? She would rather form an alliance with Sun Quan of Eastern Wu than get involved with Liu Bei, this kind of person is like a dog skin plaster, it is easy to put on, and if you want to tear it off, you have to remove a layer of skin.

Huang Chengyan poked Kou Yan's sore spot without knowing it, but fortunately, she diverted the topic in time, politely sent the old man away, and then welcomed Jiang Wan. Jiang Wan saw Taishou, who was already full of spring breeze and elated.

"Senior Brother Jiang, I didn't expect you to sort out the affairs so quickly, and I was still talking to Mr. Huang about you! He said that you have a lot of experience in official affairs, and with you helping me, I will be much easier. Kou Yan looked at Jiang Wan with a smile. This person has the same calm and elegant bookish atmosphere as Ma Jing, but he is more capable than Ma Jing.

"The subordinates are not talented, it is the teacher who has a good reputation, and the reason why the subordinates can adapt to the work of the master book so quickly is actually a long history and a lot of help. "Jiang Wan is a modest and cautious person. Even the boss on the other side can be his daughter at the actual age.

"In Jingzhou, Senior Brother Jiang's reputation is no less than that of the teacher and several other senior brothers, which is obvious to all. Kou Yan waved his hand to prevent Jiang Wan from humbling himself any further: "In the future, I will rely on Senior Brother Jiang." "Kou Yan bent over and saluted," his subordinates will definitely do their best. Jiang Wan bowed solemnly with a facial expression.

After the politeness, the two sat down face to face. Jiang Wan took out the bamboo slips written in advance and asked Kou Yan to take a look: "My subordinates have sorted out the affairs of the county these days and found some problems, please ask Lord Taishou to refer to them." ”

Jiang Wan has always done things simply and clearly. This kind of person is suitable for secretarial. Kou Yan originally just longed for it, but he didn't expect that he could really appreciate his benefits, and his heart was even more comfortable: "Senior brother has worked hard, why don't you talk about it here." ”

文jiàn Gui文jiàn,Present in person is still needed。 At that moment, Jiang Wan listed what he found, and he thought that the most stringent problems in Changsha at present, were listed by Kou Yan, the first and most important thing was the problem of sparse population.

Kou Yan was deeply convinced when he heard this: "I also feel the problem of population. When I first took over this position, in order to control the water, I had to transfer people's husbands, but I never thought that the number of people in the whole county was pitiful, and it was impossible to start work. In the end, I really had no choice but to let General Huang pull the army out to work, senior brother, you don't know, it was when Zhou Yu was eyeing the tiger, I was scared!"

Jiang Wan frowned: "You seem to have mastered five counties at present, but the actual number of people you have is barely enough for one county." What's more, if you have to expand Jianchang and deploy in Wuling, the gap in people will become bigger and bigger, which is actually the biggest hidden danger at present. ”

"I know that, but the current situation is that I can't conjure so many people at once. The only way to do this is to tear down the east wall and make up for the west wall. However, this situation will not continue like this forever, and there will be a chance to improve," Kou Yan was full of confidence.

"Opportunity?" Jiang Wan was a smart person, and he suddenly understood what Kou Yan meant by opportunity: "Instead of waiting passively, it is better to take the initiative, but it is a little difficult to take the initiative." ”

"Hehe, senior brother really knows my intentions, I am already taking measures, but the current effect is still a little vague and I can't see it clearly. But the seeds have been hidden, and I believe that the roots will only take place overnight," Kou Yan said.

Seeing this, Jiang Wan didn't say anything anymore, and the questions he raised had enough understanding and took positive measures. As a subordinate, of course, he has fulfilled his responsibilities and obligations. So, after the two chatted about other matters for a while, Jiang Wan got up and said goodbye.

A few days later, Huang Chengyan came to resign, Kou Yan took Xu Shu and Jiang Wan to practice for him personally, the old man was full of confidence when he came, but when he left, he reluctantly stared at Xu Shu, but never mentioned the topic of moving the Huang family into Changsha again.

Kou Yan repeatedly told him that Changsha is a good place, with good mountains, good rivers and many people, and it is the best choice for you to move the entire Huang family, of course, let you make a decision now, and move here tomorrow It will be a pit for you. You can wait slowly, wait for the right time, maybe after Cao Cao suffered a defeat in Jingzhou and retreated, the time will come.

Huang Chengyan didn't believe that Cao Cao would fail at all, and he could only fool Kou Yan's assumptions. Kou Yan also knew that he wouldn't believe it at all, but he still said it to him, and asked him to bring Sima Hui a generous gift to show his little heart. In fact, he secretly thanked him for recommending talents for Changsha.

With Sima Hui's worth, of course, he doesn't worry about food or clothing, Kou Yan knows what he values himself, and now he is short of people at hand, of course, he has to be positive in front of Sima Hui, and the old man is happy and orders a certain disciple to come and defect.

In fact, Kou Yan didn't know that she had only been in Changsha for a short year, and she not only repelled two attacks by Soochow, but also expanded her territory to five counties by the way. Except for Liu Bei, who was stimulated to lose his temper, everyone else regarded her as a key object of observation in their hearts.

Although everyone sighed why Kou Yanni was a girl, everyone couldn't help but admit that Xu Shu really went all out in this matter. At the beginning, the people who thought that Changsha would serve Liu Qi as the main thing, saw that Liu Qi avoided Jiangxia, and Gan Ning was actually supervised in the name of protection, and his understanding of Xu Shu deepened, which is not like a thing that is only done for self-preservation. Xu Shu did this, obviously wanting to support the army and respect himself.

In this way, Kou Yan's purpose was achieved. She succeeded in putting the aura of a teacher in front of her, making everyone think that she was going to do it. Pity Xu Shu, who is so pure and upright, was packaged as a conspirator by his apprentice.

But because the object of suspicion is Xu Shu, some things that were originally absolutely impossible have begun to take a new turn. It's like this time when Cao's army goes south, most people will think that the prime minister will sweep the southeast and dominate the world. But there are also some people who are optimistic about Liu Bei because of Zhuge Liang's relationship, and Jiangdong because of the relationship between the Yangtze River and the Yangtze River. Similarly, some people will be optimistic about Changsha because of Xu Shu's relationship. Although it is a very small number of people, it also gives Kou Yan hope to recruit talents.

And now, Jiang Wan is here. Changsha Wen has Xu Shu, Jiang Wan, Ma Shi brothers and Yin Ji, Wu has Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Kou Feng, Gan Ning, although it is not as eye-catching as Zhuge and Guan Zhang Zhao in Liu Bei's hand, but it is also a match with quite high gold content. With such a foundation, if you can add a few more people and have the right policy, it is still possible to resist Cao Cao and make a war fortune.

Therefore, all the capable people in Jingzhou are thinking in their hearts, should I stay and hug my thighs to join Cao? Or should I choose Liu Bei to work hard to start a business? Or should I go to Changsha to speculate?

The name of the emperor's uncle Liu Bei is too loud, and others think that he is the first brand of the revival of the Han Dynasty, so the staunch royalists have thrown themselves into his arms, but there are still people like Jiang Wan who have seen through Liu Bei's essence and chose Changsha. Among them, Kou Yan personally met with two people, one was Chen Zhen, Jiang Wan's colleague when he was the county magistrate, and the other was Huo Jun, who was later recommended by Sima Hui.

These two people, one literary and one martial, Chen Zhen is a senior county magistrate, and he came to Changsha with his family. Because it was recommended by Jiang Wan, Kou Yan personally met with him and hired him to be the person who was ready to take over as the Taishou of Changsha in the future.

As for Huo Jun, Sima Hui's letter of recommendation is very Qin Chu, this person is the best at defending the city, and he is better at training soldiers. Kou Yan invited Huang Zhong to come over for an interview and got General Huang's approval, and took this as an opportunity to appoint him as the lieutenant of Wuling, specifically responsible for building fortifications in Wuling in case of emergency.

In this way, Kou Feng was liberated and the defense force of Changsha County was replenished, while Majesty returned to Jianchang, which he was familiar with, to continue to defend Eastern Wu. At this point, all the personnel preparations are complete, and all that remains is to stock up on strategic materials and wait for the war to start.

In terms of materials, due to the timely disposal of the floods, the losses of Changsha County were relatively small, plus the treasury of Wuling, Lingling, and Guiyang that were later looted, plus the war compensation sent by Sun Quan, there is no need to worry about this, although it is not rich, but it is not cold, and the army can basically be guaranteed. Of course, this does not include the private property of the Mi clan in Kou Yan's hands.

Compared with Liu Bei's poor and white Xinye County, Kou Yan's resources are so rich that they are eye-catching. However, she is still very self-aware, and now she looks quite rich, as long as the war starts, these things will not be able to withstand squandering at all, and maybe they will be consumed in January and February. Therefore, stockpiling must continue consistently until the moment the war begins.

Just when Kou Yan was actively preparing for war, in the Xinye General's Mansion, Liu Bei learned that Liu Qi was banished to Jiangxia and was guarded by others, and when he couldn't exchange news with him, he was furious, and scolded Xu Shu and Leaky Wind again and again, which was a good thing for him. Liu Qi is one of his most important pawns, and if something goes wrong with Liu Qi, it will be destructive to Liu Bei's plan to seize Jingzhou. Therefore, he was in a hurry. What should I do if I am in a hurry? Find Zhuge Liang to come over and solve the problem.

Last time, Huang Chengyan failed to propose marriage for his daughter, and Liu Bei had some prejudices against Zhuge Liang. But Liu Bei had no choice, he could only rely on Zhuge Liang, so the current employment relationship between the two became a little delicate. Zhuge Liang is no longer as active as before, running to the general's mansion, making suggestions or something. When Liu Bei needed it, he asked people to invite him. You usually don't see others.
