Chapter 885: Double Happiness Comes to the Door
"This winter is about to pass!"
In the study, Zhou Fan stood by the window, looking into the distance, muttering to himself.
This time, their family really had a rare lively mill, but in the lively year, it will also pass, with the passage of time, the weather is gradually warmer, I believe that within half a month, it should enter spring.
During this time, Zhou Fan was very relaxed, after all, some time ago, it was Jingzhou, and then Youzhou and Bingzhou, the two battles made Zhou Fan's nerves tense all the time, and it was rare to have time to relax, especially the group of little guys in the house, which also made Zhou Fan laugh heartily.
But the easy days are so long, and when it officially enters spring, that is the day when he begins to conquer the world, and then it will definitely be another bloody storm, but when this war is over, I believe that he will be able to enter real peace.
"Lord, great joy......" At this time, Zhang Song's excited voice came from outside the study.
"Ziqiao, come in......" Zhou Fan smiled slightly, although he didn't know what the joy was, but since Zhang Song said so, it was naturally time to be happy first.
"Song, see the lord......" Zhang Song walked into the study and saluted Zhou Fan with a fist.
"Excuse me, Ziqiao, what a joy to make you so excited!" Zhou Fan asked with a smile.
"Enlightened lord, there are two great joys, which can be described as double happiness." Zhang Song stretched out two fingers and said.
"Okay, Ziqiao, don't sell Guanzi anymore, otherwise I'm going to turn my face!" Zhou Fan said jokingly.
"Yes, my lord, one of them was sent from Yangzhou, seven days ago, Zhou Zhoumu and General Gan Ning had already cleaned up the entire Yangzhou, so now the entire Yangzhou is already in your pocket!" Zhang Song said.
"Oh, have you already taken Yangzhou, it's been less than two months, yes, this is indeed a big joy, Xingba should be the first to ......" Zhou Fan nodded with satisfaction, in fact, it is not a difficult thing to take Yangzhou, but Zhou Fan's order is to take Yangzhou before the arrival of spring, and it is not an easy thing to do it in the harsh winter, and now Gan Ning has completed the task half a month ahead of schedule, so he is naturally the first to take the lead.
In this way, now the territory under his rule has been completely stabilized, and he doesn't have to worry about the threat from the rear, and he can fight Yuan Shao and them head-on, and for frontal combat, he has never been afraid of anyone.
"Yes, General Xingba's water war is really unparalleled in the world, Yangzhou is already watery, and with him on the horse, it is naturally no problem!" Zhang Song said.
"I will prepare a letter for me in a while, reward Gan Ning well, and tell him that I will remember this credit first, and when his day comes, I will reward it together!" Zhou Fan said that if the little emperor was still there, he could ask the little emperor for an official, and then let Gan Ning's official position be promoted again, but now the little emperor is gone, and he has not yet been called the emperor, so he can't carry out these rewards for a while, but this is also a matter of time, these merits will be remembered for the time being, and then it will naturally be rewarded.
"Nuo ......" Zhang Song responded, his heart is also very beautiful, the reason why he followed Zhou Fan, isn't he just waiting for this day, when he Zhou Fan is really in the ninth five, these people who follow Zhou Fan will definitely get what they deserve when the time comes.
"What about the second one?" Zhou Fan asked.
"Congratulations to the lord, three days ago, Li Dao finally agreed to surrender, Zhongde has asked General Wenchang to take over Luoyang and the Sili region, if nothing else, now the entire Guanzhong and Sili are already the land of the lord!" Zhang Song said.
"Good! Finally took Luoyang, Li Dao, he still knows the current affairs, if he doesn't choose to return to Shun, wait until the beginning of spring, I will definitely wave Luoyang directly, and then he will taste my anger!" Zhou Fan got up and said with a cold snort.
More than a month ago, he had asked Cheng Yu to send someone to Luoyang to persuade Li Dao to submit to him, but the guy never agreed, and later he found out that it was not only they who were persuading Li Dao to surrender, but even Yuan Shao was sending someone to lobby Li Dao, and it was precisely because of this that Li Dao chose to sell at the price, and did not promise Zhou Fan or Yuan Shao.
But as Zhou Fan's time limit approached, Li Dao began to panic, in fact, he had already made a decision from the beginning, he must have chosen to submit to Zhou Fan rather than Yuan Shao, the strength between the two sides is not better at all.
The reason why he kept dragging it out, no one agreed, it was just to sell it for the sake of waiting for the price, and he wanted to ask for more benefits from Zhou Fan, but Cheng Yu understood Zhou Fan's thoughts, and he didn't compromise with Li Dao at all, he had already figured it out, Li Dao was willing to surrender the best, if he didn't want to, he would just beat Luoyang down when the time came, anyway, the opponent was just a Li Dao, there was nothing to worry about at all, at most it was just a waste of time.
It is precisely because of this that Li Wei saw that Cheng Yu did not give in the slightest, and spring was about to arrive, he really couldn't bear this pressure, and directly chose to surrender in Kaecheng three days ago, he didn't want to fall into the hands of Yuan Shao and them, after all, that group of people probably hated him to death, and fell into their hands, and he was definitely dead, but if he surrendered to Zhou Fan, maybe he could survive.
"The lord is angry, there is no need to hurt himself for such a little person!" Zhang Song said that Li Dao's kind of goods, even for him, is a small person, not to mention ten Zhou Fan, there is no need to bother with him.
"Also, now that Wen Chang has taken over the division, I can rest assured!" Zhou Fan said, Wei Yan has been in charge of Chang'an for a long time, for his ability, Zhou Fan is naturally relieved to be ruthless, now that he is in Luoyang Jiancheng, even if Yuan Shao comes out, I believe that Wei Yan can also defend it, not to mention that Chang'an can still support it at any time, Si Li is definitely impregnable.
"Lord, what should Li Dao do?" Zhang Song asked.
Li Dao is not easy to deal with, this guy was Dong Zhuo's widow first, and then he has been hijacking the little emperor can be said to be a rebel thief, there is no doubt that this kind of person should be executed by Ling Chi, and the whole house is beheaded, even if the little emperor is dead now.
But Zhou Fan had already promised Li Dao before, as long as he surrendered, Zhou Fan would surround his life, which could not be killed, but if the people of the world knew that Zhou Fan took in the traitor Li Dao, it would obviously ruin his reputation, and it would really be difficult to deal with.
