Chapter 491: Handling Government Affairs
Yuan Yao's performance in order to promote this alliance between Liu Zheng and Yuan Shu can be described as remarkable.
Not only must he grovel in front of Liu Zheng, but also restrain his emotions, no matter what Liu Zheng says, he can only agree, otherwise he will make Liu Zheng unhappy, the conversation will collapse, and it will be difficult for him to go back.
Liu Zheng had just gotten married, and Yuan Yao ran over and said that he was going to fight, in fact, Liu Zheng didn't want to go so much in his heart, but as soon as he remembered it, Cai Yao was still in Xiangyang.
Liu Zheng still had some things to ask Cai Yao, and he couldn't help but have a little more thoughts of attacking Xiangyang.
"You go back and thank your father for me, just say that I agreed to his alliance, and in three months, raise troops in Jingzhou, and I can help him contain the forces of Changsha and Jingnan counties."
Jingzhou is not more difficult to fight than Yangzhou, because the current Jingzhou is not the Jingzhou occupied by Liu Biao in history.
Among the seven counties of Jingxiang, there are only three counties that are really controlled by Liu Biao. Nan County, Jiangxia County, Changsha County.
The four counties of Jingnan are basically under the control of Liu Zheng and Guo Shi, and Liu Biao only occupies a Changsha county.
Once Liu Zheng can help contain the soldiers and horses in Changsha, then Liu Biao will also need to send men to defend the rest of the four counties of Jingnan, and Liu Biao, who can only mobilize troops in Jiangxia County and Nanjun, will greatly increase the pressure.
And Yuan Shu relied on the men and horses of Nanyang County and Runan County, which was enough to fight Liu Biao.
As long as Yuan Shuzheng was able to attack Jingzhou, Liu Zheng didn't mind, and took the opportunity to lead his soldiers and horses to join in the fun.
Of course, now that Liu Guanzhang and Cao Cao are eyeing Yanzhou, it is impossible for Liu Zheng to send all his soldiers and horses to attack Jingzhou, but there is no problem in sending 30,000 or 40,000 people over.
After discussing things with Yuan Yao, Liu Zheng also needed to meet Sun Jian.
Sun Jian rushed back by boat from Linyi County and returned to Wu County, mainly to go back to Fuchun's hometown to have a look, after all, he had been away for too long, and he came back to worship his ancestors, taking advantage of Liu Zheng's wedding.
However, he still needs to take the opportunity to report to Liu Zheng, Linyi County, what has happened over the years.
It has been two years since Liu Zheng pacified Lin Yiguo.
However, at the beginning, Liu Zheng only destroyed the old king Fan Xiong, leaving some remnants of the prince, and the prince Fan Yi took the treasures accumulated by Linyi for decades and some dead soldiers to the south, and Liu Zheng did not send people to pursue him.
After the fall of the country, although Linyi County has been included in Liu Zheng's rule, the remnants of Linyi County have not stopped there, and they are still causing chaos in Linyi County from time to time, so Liu Zheng will send Sun Jian to investigate and suppress those remnants.
Sun Jian came in to meet Liu Zheng and reported the situation of Linyi County in the past two years.
"Wentai, let's talk about it, how have the remnants of Linyi County been doing recently."
"My lord, since I took office, I have strengthened the recruitment of county soldiers, and the bandits in various parts of Linyi County have been alleviated, but that place has always been occupied by foreigners for many years, and the beliefs of Linyi have been deeply rooted and penetrated into the people, and it is not so easy to completely disintegrate, although I have suppressed many uprisings of the remnants of the imperial family, but small-scale riots have occurred from time to time."
Sun Jian picked out some of the more important measures he took after taking office and told Liu Zheng about them.
In fact, it is not an important matter, it is nothing more than a series of measures such as training militias in various parts of Linyi County, organizing patrols of men and horses, and setting up sentry posts in the border areas of Linyi County, so as to minimize the rebellion of the remnants of the royal family who fled before.
After Sun Jian took office, only a few months later, the turmoil there really decreased a lot.
The remnants of the Lin Yi Kingdom, who were originally very arrogant, became much more honest after Sun Jian's suppression, and knew that there was no way to restore the glory of the past, Fan Yi continued to flee south with the remaining men and horses, and fled into the Khmer region.
Sun Jian also sent people to chase over, but there was no gain, first, he was not familiar with the place, Sun Jian and these people were outsiders, and they didn't know the environment over there at all, and secondly, they were not civilized over there, they were all some places outside the square, snakes, insects, rats and ants, miasma, and there were no people in many places at all.
It is already very difficult to rush in, just to deal with the invasion of nature, let alone deal with those remnants.
It's not that easy to completely kill them all.
Sun Jian could only hold on to Linyi County, wanting to pursue those remnants, but the temporary strength and detection of the outer edge of Linyi were not enough, so he could not pursue the translation to the Khmer.
After all, Sun Jian also knew that farther away, there was a regime called the Khmer, which was a regime that had just been established, and although it could not be compared with the Han Dynasty, it also had an independent civilization.
Liu Zheng appeased Sun Jian a few words, and did not let him continue to pursue Fan Yi, but only asked Sun Jian to temporarily hold Linyi County, educate those people in Linyi County, and finally the Han Dynasty was on the line.
Liu Zheng's words, Sun Jian still did not have any objections, after all, Liu Zheng did not say that he was loyal to him, but said that he was loyal to the Han Dynasty, which made Sun Jian feel a lot better, although he was a general, he could still feel his presence under Liu Zheng's command.
"You may not have been back to Shouchun's hometown for a long time, but now this Shouchun has become my territory, you take this opportunity to take Sun Ce back and have a look."
After Liu Zheng talked to Sun Jian about these things, he told Sun Jian about his hometown Fuchun, although Fuchun is now under the jurisdiction of Liu Zheng, but Liu Zheng does not have too many restrictions on the people left in Fuchun by the Sun family, the Sun family is still the Sun family, and even gives the Sun family some preferential treatment, some young people of the Sun family, Liu Zheng is directly promoted to the county as officials.
Although Sun Jian is not serving in the imperial court now, under Liu Zheng, he acts as a party guard, and his authority is actually about the same.
Sun Jian heard Liu Zheng's affirmation, but his heart was a lot more settled, he was about to say that he wanted to go back to Fuchun to see, if there was no permission from Liu Zheng, he would return directly and there were still some suspicions, and now with Liu Zheng's permission, then he would be much more relieved.
immediately said goodbye to Liu Zheng and left.
Liu Zheng said goodbye to Sun Jian, thinking that it would be okay, but who knows, this kid Wenpin quietly walked in again.
"What's the matter, what's the matter?"
Liu Zheng knew that Wen was hired in, there must be no good thing, and he must have asked him to socialize.
Wen Ping shook his head, then stretched out his hand, clutching a letter in his hand.
"It's okay, it's just that someone asked me to give this to you."
"Letter?"
Liu Zheng was stunned for a moment, but still reached out and took the letter.
