Chapter 382: Fighting for Yangzhou

After the marriage, Zang Ba temporarily recuperated in Pengcheng, while Guan Hai was sent by the potters to Yuzhou to persuade the Yellow Turbans of Runan to enhance their strength, but whether this matter can be done or not, the potters are still a little uncertain.

The weather gradually turned to the end of the year, but the potters did not avoid the season, but made up their minds to wake up and go south to subdue Yuzhang County and Huiji County, and hold the entire southeast in their hands.

In this aspect of Xuzhou, it is just to let Cao Bao and other old generals in Xuzhou guard, the pottery merchants are not very relieved, loyalty or disloyalty is only one aspect, the ability is there, the older generation of people under Tao Qian's command, should be screened.

After thinking about it, he finally decided to leave Tai Shici and Guo Jia behind, with them in Pengcheng, at least when he went south to pacify the rear, his heart was more steady.

Moreover, let these two people assist Cao Bao in guarding the town, one is to be able to effectively resist the sneak attack of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, and the other is that the potter does not want Tai Shici to return to Jinling City in a short time.

Although he is already a righteous brother, he doesn't want Tai Shici to see Liu Miao for the time being.

In case Liu Miao debunked himself, although the potter had the confidence to persuade Tai Shici, in front of the righteous brothers, he somewhat lost face, and also embarrassed Tai Shici.

As soon as the period of the newlywed Yan'er passed, the potters and Diao Chan decided to pack up their things and go south, first return to Jinling City to settle down, and then go to Yuzhang County.

Before leaving, Mi Zhen came to visit Diao Chan, and the pottery merchant, as the head of the family, also received her with Diao Chan.

Although Mi Zhen said words of blessing to the two of them, for some reason, the potter always felt that the big-breasted sister was looking at her with some resentment in her eyes, and she didn't know if it was her own delusion.

Don't worry about it for now, hurry up and finish the affairs of the southeast.

After the affairs of Pengcheng were arranged, the main soldiers and horses of Jinling City returned to Danyang County with the potters.

The development of Jinling City is still continuing, and it has not come back for a long time, and the rich Jinling City is still absorbing the people who have fled from other states, and the population of Danyang County is growing sharply, from 600,000 registered three years ago to 1.1 million.

Most of these immigrants include Jiujiang County, Runan County, Shanyang County and other places.

Under these circumstances, Chen Qun, who was in charge of the administration of Jinling City, discussed with Zhang Hong, who was developing in Hangzhou, the administrative seat of Wu County, and transferred a part of the foreign population to the jurisdiction of Wu County, one was to provide labor for the development of Hangzhou, and the other was to appropriately reduce the population pressure of Danyang County's extremely rapid growth.

After returning to Jinling City, the pottery merchant first settled Diao Chan, and then asked Han Hao to learn about the recent political affairs in the county, and after knowing that everything was going well, he began to prepare grain and grass in Jinling City, packed up his weapons, and prepared to send troops to Yuzhang County to compete for power.

For this time to recover Huiji County and Yuzhang County, the pottery merchants did not have any excessive worries, with the combat strength of the Jinling Army and their own reputation, it should not be difficult to regain these two counties.

But the main problem is that the vast area in the southeast of Huiji County and the land of Lingnan in the south of Yuzhang County is a gathering place where Baiyue lives together, and the population of this place is dense to a certain extent, but many people are not registered, but mixed with tribal rituals, which can be said to be a place of rebellion for a long time.

And although it is said that there are only two counties, the actual area of these two places is huge, almost as large as two Xuzhou, of course, most of the coastal areas are uncultivated dense forest wasteland.

Moreover, after occupying these two counties, it means that from today onwards, the potters will always face the problem of the integration of Shanyue and Baiyue Minbu, which needs to be rectified with great efforts.

The rectification is smooth, this is their own big rear, and it is a place of support thousands of miles deep.

If the rectification is not good, it is necessary to send troops to suppress the rebellion from time to time, and we will be anxious.

And there was also new news from the school office, that is, Yuan Shu had surrendered to Lu Bu and transferred his headquarters from Yuzhou to Huainan.

As soon as Yuan Shu pouted his buttocks, the potter knew what shit he was going to pull.

Yuan Lao Er seems to be still not dead set on Jinling City...... This bastard.

This time he went south to Yangzhou, and Yuan Shu was likely to take advantage of the gap to enter Yangzhou and then take Jinling City.

But the potter had already figured out a countermeasure.

If Yuan Shu really has the intention of plotting for himself, then he might as well take this opportunity to set a trap for Yuan Shu...... Ambush him! Let's do it once and for all, and strive to completely eradicate this potential cancer that will always threaten Jinling City.

……

Jinling City, Liu Xuan's mansion.

The potter and Liu Miao sat on the soft collapse in the living room, sitting face to face, and the expressions of the two people seemed to be very referential and contrasting.

The potter was laughing, and Liu Miao was crying.

After the potter smiled and saw that Liu Miao was almost crying, he stretched out his hand in front of him and asked:

"Zhengli Gong, you see that you have been crying for almost half an hour, if you have any great grievances, you should almost howl, right? You can give me the seal of Yangzhou Thorn History...... Actually, I'm pretty busy. ”

"Don't give it!"

Liu Miao was like a child being robbed of candy by his big brother, and hid the seal of Yangzhou Thorn History into his arms, his expression looked very helpless.

The potter looked at him with disdain.

A person who is almost forty years old, how can he be as willful as a three-year-old child, this is too mindless and responsible.

The Tao merchant comforted him and slowly induced: "Zhengli Gong, it's not that Tao specially came to grab food with you!" It's just that the Son of Heaven has issued a clear edict and enshrined me as the prince of the dynasty and led the Yangzhou pastor! The so-called food king's Lu and loyal monarch's things, if you don't give me the seal, I'm not sitting in Yangzhou Shepherd, it's not like that, we are all loyal to the court, so Yangzhou Mu, who sits different? You've got to look at it. ”

Liu Miao didn't eat oil and salt: "Don't give it!" ”

The potter was getting a little impatient.

"You're in a hurry! I have a lot of things on hand, and I don't have the time to hang out with you here...... If you don't give it to me, I'll beat you. The potter threatened and intimidated him.

Liu Xuan's dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.

He stretched his face towards the potter: "You fight, you fight!" The surname is Tao, you are too much of a bully! Liu was ordered to assassinate the history of Yangzhou, for more than two years, but he has been stuck in this small black room, and the only thing he can do every day is to take this seal and stamp the broken documents you sent over one by one! I haven't even issued an edict of my own, so I have to do the handover? …… Which state leader is as aggrieved as me! Tell me about it! ”

Looking at Liu Xuan's tearful bear-like appearance, the potter's heart also rose a trace of unbearability.

Thinking back then, in fact, I did this very unauthentically.

A good Yangzhou assassin history, a feudal official, was sent by himself Tao Ying and Guo Jia to serve a pot on the first day of his office, and he was directly caught in Jinling City, like a dog, he was led every day, he couldn't do anything every day, and he was stamped full-time like a community office clerk...... Whoever it is replaced, no one will feel too comfortable.

After all, this person is also Tai Shici's fellow villager, and the relationship is not bad, now Tai Shici has become his own sworn brother, the so-called don't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, he has to have an explanation for Tai Shici.

Shouldn't I be nicer to him?

The potter sighed, picked up the water vessel in front of him, put it to his lips and wanted to drink something, but as soon as he frowned, he turned his hand and threw it on the ground.

Liu Miao was so frightened by the potter's actions that he trembled, and the two arms holding the big seal tightened a little.

"What do you want to do? Do you really dare to beat me? ”

Tao Shang clasped his hands together, and waved at Liu Xuan, and said: "The original thing, it is indeed Tao who did a little excessive, but for the sake of the world, sometimes he has to do extraordinary things, today this matter can be said to be over, the original grievances let him write it off, Shang apologized to Liu Gong here, and will treat Yu Gong well in the future." ”

Liu Miao was stunned when he heard this.

He picked his ears vigorously, looked at the potter in surprise, and said in disbelief: "You, what did you say?" You repeat! ”

"Tao apologized to Gong Liu."

"I didn't hear ...... clearly"

"I apologize to you."

"Are you sincere?"

The potter raised his head, squinted at Liu Xuan, shook his fist and said, "It's almost done!" Are you taking advantage of me? ”

Liu Miao wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and sighed: "Actually, there are some things, I don't can't see them, the world of great contention, it's like this, how can anyone be right and who is wrong?" Compared to the other princes, you are really very benevolent...... Liu has lived in Jinling City for the past two years, watching the changes in Jinling City day by day, and I understand your hard work in my heart...... But you're really ruthless with me. ”

When the potter heard this, he smiled.

In any case, Liu Miao still has some foresight and some advantages.

He was at least much better than the pretentious nobles who were above the top, and he was able to put himself in his place.

Moreover, during his tenure in office, Liu Miao in history was indeed extremely honest and famous, and his reputation in the local area was much stronger than Sun Ce.

In terms of governing the local area and treating the people well, Liu Miao is stronger than Sun Ce.

"Zhengli Gong, Tao has decided, after this time the Yangzhou counties are pacified, you will be appointed as the head of the two counties in the south of the border, and at that time, you will represent me to deepen the political and strategic development mode of Jinling City to the south and promote it in the southeast coastal area, so that you can show your talents, and it can be regarded as a sign of Tao's guilt towards you."

Liu Miao frowned and wondered, "Why do you feel like you've been allocated?" ”

The potter's face darkened: "If you don't want to, then I'll keep you here to stamp the official seal." ”

Liu Miao hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no!" Yes, in fact, this thing is also very good, Liu is very grateful to you. ”

Although I don't know if the "guilt" that Tao Shang Shicai said is true or false, he is still very useful in Liu Xuan's ears.

According to the methods of normal princes, after their own puppet is useless, it is likely to be disposed of.

But the potter's style of action made Liu Miao see hope.

At least, he still had the heart and didn't ask for his own life.

This kid really lives up to the name of a gentleman.

But the place he let himself go to was also a bit noisy.

When he thought of the relics of the Baiyue and Min ethnic groups in the south of Yangzhou, Liu Miao had a little headache.

He touched his beard and thought carefully for a long time before he said to Tao Shang: "If you really want someone Liu to help you, then you might as well send someone to me as a deputy, so that when someone Liu implements a policy in the south to appease Baiyue, you can dare to do it in a down-to-earth manner." ”

The potter raised his eyebrows: "The deputy you want, shouldn't it be Tai Shici?" I'm sorry, this guy can't do it, he's my sworn brother, and I can't keep him in the South right now. ”

Liu Miao glared: "Taishi Ziyi actually became your brother?" When did you swear? This is a miracle in the world! …… But Liu didn't want him. ”

The potter's heart breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then who do you want?" ”

Liu Miao finally showed a rare smile: "When Liu lived in Huaipu, he knew that there was a person in Hailing County, who was an official eunuch, surnamed Lu Mingdai, who was a county official, and then avoided the chaos and crossed to the south. ”

The potter looked at Liu Miao quietly, and suddenly became happy.

Liu Miao is quite narcissistic, if Tao can get Lu Dai, I don't seem to need you.

"Since Zhengli Gong admires this Lu Dai so much, he must be familiar with this person, right?"

Liu Miao nodded solemnly and said: "This is natural, someone Liu should know him, otherwise how could he recommend him at will?" ”

"I wonder where this person is now?"

Liu Miao smiled and said, "Right now, this person is in Tu Tang, not far from here." ”

……

According to Liu Xuan's instructions, the potters sent the staff of the school to find Lu Dai and solemnly invited him to Jinling City.

Lu Dai is over thirty years old, his appearance is thin, and at first glance he is a person with strong self-discipline and a relatively straightforward attitude.

For the summons of the potter, Lu Dai was very surprised.

Although he was born in a family of eunuchs, his family was not a very large family among the scholar groups in the southeast, and he himself was originally just a small official, and when it came to identity and status, it was far from the point where the potter could personally send someone to find him.

But that's what the potter did.

Hearing that the pottery merchant wanted to conquer Yuzhang County and Huiji County in the south, and planned to let himself assist him in pacifying the Baiyue tribe in Lingnan after the war, Lu Dai pondered for a long time before saying to the pottery merchant:

"Taifu got Liu Gong's recommendation, the meaning is important, in the next is not honored, the southeast Baiyue tribe, densely populated, most of them are not in the local household registration, there is a lack of taxes, it is actually a major lack of my dynasty, if you can really arrange the arrangement of the Baiyue Ministry, and form it to the orthodoxy of Wanghua, registered, for the future tax and military supplement, are a huge supplement, but Baiyue repeatedly rebelled, want to completely close, it is not an overnight effort, in the next person's power, I am afraid that there will be no death, and I am willing to recommend a few people, Join the Taifu to complete this grand event, I don't know if the Taifu Kenna? ”

The potter smiled when he heard this.

"One end counts one end, I want it!"

Lu Dai was stunned when he heard this.

Head?
