Nanyang County, it is March, the spring festival is strong.

Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the land of Nanyang has been a state of scattered sand, and the dominance of the Taishou Mansion over the various counties has fallen below the freezing point, and basically you are in a state of autonomy in each county.

However, at the end of last year, the imperial court rewarded Hou Mushan, who had made great contributions in the Battle of Runan, as the Taishou of Nanyang.

Mushan is not Zhang Zhi, a literati who has empty tongues and does not understand soldiers, he directly led his troops back to Nanyang from Runan, and entered with heavy troops, shocking the Quartet, and suddenly expanding the influence of Nanyang Taishoufu.

After nearly three months of iron-fisted rectification, the situation in Nanyang County has begun to improve continuously, and all localities can at least turn a blind eye to the orders of the Taishou Mansion.

Wancheng.

This Nanyang county town, located in the middle of Nanyang, the city wall of the east, west, north and south is high and thick, the south is close to Yushui, the mountain is changed on three sides, it is majestic and magnificent, like a tiger crawling, and like a wild lion is sleeping, as if as long as it opens its eyes, it can shock the world.

And this night, above the sky of Wancheng, the night is like ink, and the stars and moon are lightless

Taishou House.

Taishou Mushan, kneeling and sitting on the top position, the music books in his hands were one after another, just a simple reading, and then handed them to Jiang Lucheng and Luo Liu Jin beside him, and soon he was a little impatient: "In fact, you can handle this matter well, must I sit here?" ”

When Nanyang was too guarded, he thought it should be something he was very excited about, after all, Qu Shuai Zhang Mancheng dreamed of becoming the master of Nanyang, and what Zhang Mancheng didn't do, he did.

But when he sat in this position, it felt like a prison.

It's better to be free on the march.

In this Taishou Mansion, he can only be in the company of those reports from all over the world every day, and he feels that his whole person is going to be decadent.

"Lord, you are Nanyang Taishou, you are the master, if you are not here, what is this, how do the people of the world think of my Nanyang Taishou Mansion's system!"

Liu Jin shook his head and said very harshly.

When he returned to Nanyang, he thought that he was very worried that Zhang Zhi would be killed by Mushan, so Zhang Zhi had already left one step in advance, and he didn't have to be in a dilemma, so he still served as Nanyang Juncheng, which was the treatment he received for serving Mushan.

However, his temperament is rather old-fashioned, which makes Makiyama want to throw him into the corner more than once.

Makiyama can't afford to provoke and can't hide.

He couldn't help but glance at Jiang Lu.

Jiang Lu looked back, and just said lightly: "Lord, the county scripts, I can handle it for you, if you feel a little irritable, you should study here with peace of mind!" ”

Jiang Lu Hanmen scholar, half a lifetime can not be out of office, after following Mushan is considered to be the time to run you, now the tide is rising, and it has been classified as the long history of Nanyang Taishou Mansion.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier.

Since Mu Shan lives in Nanyang, he naturally wants to bring his henchmen, how can he leave those who are not dealing with him empty seats.

Jiang Lu and Liu Jin are both knowledgeable people, and they have this extraordinary talent in handling government affairs, and it is their one-left and one-right assistance that allows Mushan, a big man who only knows how to march and fight, to gain a firm foothold in Nanyang.

"Hey!"

When Mushan heard this, he immediately sighed, and he had to pick up a book and read it carefully.

Recently, he has one more job, that is, reading, as a county guard, his cognitive level is considered illiterate in Shilin, and he can't help but enhance his knowledge.

"By the way, it's been more than a month, has Huang Shao put down the Nanxiang Rebellion?"

After half a ring, Makiyama still couldn't settle down, and he found a good topic and asked.

Nanyang now has three army soldiers, and the number of soldiers and horses is about 50,000.

Originally, after Mushan returned from Runan, he held as many as 100,000 main forces in his hands, but although Nanyang County was large, it had gone through turmoil and was in ruins, so it couldn't afford to raise so many soldiers and horses, so many soldiers were laid off.

Fortunately, Mushan personally presided over Nanyang, and there was a lot of wasted land in Nanyang, and there was enough place under his command to deal with the fate of these soldiers, otherwise these soldiers who were ruled down would also be a big problem.

The first army under Makiyama is the Violent Bear Army.

This is the main force of the descendants under Mushan, the Seventh Battalion of the Violent Bear, after the reorganization of these days, tens of thousands of sons have been cut, and the remaining sons and daughters are only 28,000, although the number of troops is small, but all of them are elite soldiers, all of them are veterans of the battlefield, and their combat effectiveness has increased by more than 30%.

The second army is the Yellow Turban Army under the command of Huang Shao himself, which is a soldier outside the system of the independent Violent Bear Army, but after entering Nanyang, it can be regarded as having a foothold, and Huang Shao's arrogant head has also been lowered, and he is considered to obey Mushan.

The Yellow Turban Army also reorganized, and under the ruling, there were about 15,000 soldiers and horses left.

Huang Shao was also recruited by Mushan as the governor of Nanyang.

Recently, Nanyang County has changed somewhat in Mushan's iron-fisted methods, more than 30 county seats, several of which are dissatisfied with management, have been reversed, and Mushan specially ordered Huang Shao to lead the Yellow Turban Army to quell the chaos.

Originally, he could have mobilized the Violent Bear Army, but the Yellow Turban Army, even after the reorganization, was a little miscellaneous and unrefined after all, and it needed to be fought in real combat before it had strong combat effectiveness, so this task fell on the Yellow Turban Army.

In addition, the Violent Bear Army needs to be in the middle of the town.

Because there is a third army in Nanyang County, that is, the Nanyang County soldiers, there were only about 3,000 Nanyang County soldiers who went to Runan, and the remaining soldiers and horses were close to more than 7,000 elites, and the commander was Sima Jiyi of the Nanyang Governor's Mansion.

When Ji Yi led the troops back to Nanyang in Mushan, he personally led the troops to open the city gate and welcome Mushan into the city.

But how much loyalty this part of the soldiers and horses has to Mushan, it is conceivable that Mushan does not want to rectify, but he can't be in a hurry, so he keeps it for the time being, and this part of the soldiers and horses does not have much impact on him.

With the combat effectiveness of the Violent Bear Army, within two battalions, the Nanyang County soldiers could be taken.

"Back to the lord, the day before yesterday, I came to report that Fan Xin of Nanxiang County had been personally killed by Huang Shaoduwei, but Fan Xin's son Fan Shen led a thousand remnants of the army and escaped into the Nanxiang River, Huang Shaoduwei is still trying to find a way to clean it up, but the terrain of the Nanxiang River is complicated, and the soldiers under Huang Shao's command are not familiar with water warfare, so the effect is not great!"

Liu Jin stood up and said.

"Water war?"

The corners of Mu Shan's mouth raised a playful smile: "It seems that we have to cultivate a water army!" ”

There is a naval army in Jingzhou.

is still the head of the Cai family, Cai Mao, who is personally commanded, and this naval army is a strong pawn.

"My lord, I think it's not appropriate to train the navy, and the chaos in Nanxiang is a bit strange!" Jiang Lu suddenly said: "They may not understand the water war, but someone is manipulating?" “

"Strange?"

When Mu Shan heard this, he was like a black bear in a deep sleep, and he suddenly woke up, his eyes were like electricity, and he was as cold as a sword, and asked, "Haoming, what do you say?" ”

"In January, the lord summoned the county magistrates to meet in the county seat, and the thirty-seven counties of Nanyang, including Wancheng, came with thirty county magistrates, and the remaining seven counties, Nanxiang, Danshui, and Zhuyang......

But they don't dare to rebel, after all, anti-adults are anti-court, in addition to my Nanyang heavy troops in the city, deterring the Quartet, as long as we send lobbyists to persuade them to surrender, there is still hope, adults have soldiers in their hands, there are official positions on their heads, and it stands to reason that they can suppress them, but we haven't reacted yet, half a month has not arrived, Nanxiang is reversed, Nanxiang has such a small number of troops, is there no problem at all.

Even several counties have rebelled, and we have no choice but to send troops to rehabilitate, there must be a problem."

"Getting to the point!"

Mushan scratched his head: "I don't understand your twists and turns!" ”

"I mean, there's support behind this rebellion!" Jiang Lu had no choice but to speak more clearly.

"Who?"

"The scholars of Jingzhou!"

"The Kuai family or the Cai family?" Mu Shan's fists were clenched, and the killing intent was dripping.

"Cai family!"

"Why?"

"Because the lord and the Kuai family have a marriage relationship!"

"When did I agree to get married?"

When Makiyama heard this, his eyes widened suddenly, and he remembered that he seemed to have refused.

"The young master agreed!"

"Who told Jing'er?"

Makiyama's murderous anger erupted.

"Lord, I wrote to tell the young master!" Jiang Lu's expression was calm, neither humble nor arrogant, and he bowed down and said: "The young master replied, but!" ”

"!"

Mu Shan was furious: "Who is Lao Tzu, who is the son, Lao Tzu is married, do you still need your son's consent?" ”

"The lord is reluctant to marry, isn't it actually because he is afraid of the young master's idea?" Jiang Lu said indifferently: "Marriage is a stable bond for Nanyang, since the young master doesn't care anymore, why does the lord care!" ”

"I ......"

Mu Shan was a little stupid and couldn't speak: "This is my private matter after all, can't I allow it?" ”

"Lord, marrying with the Kuai family can enhance the lord's reputation in Shilin, and can also prepare for the lord's stay in Jingzhou in the future, this matter is not a private matter of the lord, but a major event related to countless people up and down our Nanyang!" Jiang Lu is a serious way.

"Let's put this matter down for a while, and we will discuss it in the future, and this matter is biased from the issue we are discussing!" Cheng Luo played a round, changed the topic, and said: "Cai's provocation of my Nanyang rebellion, what is the so-called?" ”

"They naturally want to intervene before Nanyang has completely fallen under the rule of the lord!" Jiang Lu said coldly.

"He's got long hands!"

Mu Shan's cold voice sounded like ice: "Aren't you afraid of a certain family?" ”

"The lord's foundation is unstable, so they are naturally not afraid!"

Jiang Lu continued: "If the lord marries the Kuai clan, they will begin to be afraid, so before that, they will definitely make us uneasy!" ”

"Speaking of which, this marriage can't run away!" Mu Shan stared at the bear's eyes, his eyes hunting, and looked at Jiang Lu.

"The lord is the lord, a certain naturally listens to the lord, no matter what the lord makes, a certain will follow, but for Nanyang, for the foothold of all of us, a certain also ask the lord to think twice, uniformly different from fighting a battle, what we need is to convince people with virtue, to be famous for benevolence and righteousness, not to be deterred by swords!"

Jiang Lu said respectfully.
