Chapter 341: Anger
After arriving in Nanyang, Sun Yang did not stay long, but only stayed for three days, and then left again, this time his father Sun Jian did not go with Sun Yang, but took Sun Ce to start suppressing bandits in Nanyang, Sun Jian also wanted to take advantage of the coming of winter to wipe out the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army and all kinds of bandits in Nanyang!
And the reason why Sun Yang is so anxious to return to Jiangdong is naturally for the sake of trading with Yuan Shu, according to reliable information, Yuan Shu has already led the army back to his old nest Shouchun at this time, and it will not be long before he will send an envoy to Jiangdong.
This time he rushed back to Wu County from Nanyang, although there were not many people around Sun Yang, but with Zhou Jian and his wives and concubines holding back, it took Sun Yang more than half a month to return to Wu County.
After returning to Wu County, Sun Yang did not go home, but first sent Zhou Jian to reunite with his relatives, and he first went to Wu County's Taishou Mansion, where Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai were waiting for him at this time.
"Zhicai meets Childe!"
"Bonghyo has seen Childe!"
Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia respectively saluted Sun Yang, and Sun Yang's return also made them very happy, and now they have completed the plan set when Sun Yang left, and next, it is time to talk about the future.
"Hehe, I haven't seen you for more than half a year, but you're a lot more polite!" Sun Yang teased a little and didn't say anything.
"Zhicai, let's briefly explain some of the situation in our Jiangdong first." Although Xi Zhicai sent a letter to Sun Yang, these months have passed, and many situations may have been different.
Xi Zhicai was not ambiguous, and opened his mouth to report to Sun Yang: "Son, now we have three counties of Wu, Liyang, and Huiji under our rule, with a population of more than 1.3 million, more than 800,000 stone of grain, and more than 40,000 soldiers with armor!" ”
Sun Yang nodded, this was not far from what he had initially estimated, after all, the strength of the Jiangdong Land was here.
"Childe, at present, all parts of Jiangdong have been pacified, there is no war, there are currently 30,000 garrisons in Liyang, 10,000 in Wu County, and more than 5,000 people in Huiji." After Xi Zhicai finished speaking, Guo Jia was not to be outdone and also told the current situation of the garrison in Jiangdong.
Most of the military horses in Jiangdong are stationed in Liyang, which Sun Yang can understand, after all, Liyang is close to the Jiangxia land of Jingzhou, and guarding against Liu Biao in Jingzhou is their most important thing, after all, the only one who can pose the biggest threat to them is Liu Biao, and most of the 10,000 horses in Wu County are Yuan Shujun's troops who defend the north bank along the river, as for Huiji, in the hinterland of Jiangdong, the internal worries have been eliminated, there is no external trouble, and the five thousand people stationed are just a look.
"Fengxiao, is there an eyebrow for the formation of a water army?" As early as the time of Nanyang, Sun Yang once proposed to Guo Jia to establish a naval army, after all, if they wanted to defend the Yangtze River or attack Jingzhou, it would be impossible without a strong naval army!
Hearing Sun Yang ask about the navy, Guo Jia was a little speechless for a while, the navy is not what he is good at, so he can only be a man who has requisitioned thousands of good water, and reluctantly formed a navy, but it is said that it is a navy, but in fact, there are only dozens of fishing boats, which may not even be as good as ordinary water thieves!
Sun Yang was naturally dissatisfied when he got Guo Jia's reply, but he didn't blame Guo Jia too much, after all, he was not a god, and during this time, he had to take care of taking the land of Jiangdong and exterminating the rebels and the troubled Shanyue people, and he was really unhappy.
"Fengxiao is like this, you don't have to worry about the affairs of the navy, you first hurry up and train the soldiers and exterminate the mountains and crosses in the territory, I will come in person for the affairs of the navy." Don't look at Sun Yang's words so lightly, in fact, he is also a layman for the navy, but he also has a pirate captain Plandon who can still be used!
After saying some things, Xi Zhicai still had official business to deal with, and Sun Yang asked him to go down first, not to mention that he and Guo Jia still had confidential matters to talk about.
"By the way, Feng Xiao, has there been any progress on the identity of the gang that ambushed Thirteen?" This is also one of the reasons why Sun Yang is in such a hurry to return to Wu County, those people have now become a heart disease for Sun Yang, and if he doesn't get rid of it, Sun Yang's heart will be uneasy!
Hearing Sun Yang ask about those people, Guo Jia put on a solemn look, quite a little jealous.
"Senior brother, the identity of those people has not been found out yet, since that day after helping Huang Zu attack and kill the Thirteenth and the others, there has been no news like a stone sinking into the sea, and the people I sent to Jiangxia and Jingzhou to investigate have found nothing."
"No gains?" Sun Yang repeated, according to what the surviving secret guard said, the number of those people is not small, how can they escape the eyes of the dark guard who has been covering Jingzhou all these years, are those people ghosts?
"By the way, junior brother, there is one more thing that I haven't had time to tell you yet......" Guo Jia said to Sun Yang again as if he remembered something.
"What's the matter?"
"According to the news from the Jingzhou secret guards, nearly 100 of our secret guards in Jingzhou have disappeared for unknown reasons in the past few months, and they are all the kind of situation where no one is alive or dead, so I guess is there any connection between the two?"
Guo Jia's meaning, Sun Yang understood it, he suspected that the disappearance of the secret guards in the past few months was done by those who attacked and killed Thirteen! Sun Yang thought about it and nodded, this is not an accidental event, it should be a matter of conspiracy, but the only thing Sun Yang can't figure out is that it has only been a few months, where did those people come from?
"Senior brother, have you sent someone to check on the few suspects I gave you last time?" Sun Yang couldn't figure it out, he listed all the organizations in the world that could have the strength to do this, according to Sun Yang's thoughts, it should be one of these organizations to do it, or it was done together!
To Sun Yang's surprise, Guo Jia shook his head and denied Sun Yang's statement, "Senior brother, I have checked the organizations you mentioned, and there is no sign of their activities in Jingzhou, and besides, the secret guards have always been very strict with these organizations, if they do it, it is impossible for us to have no news!" ”
Didn't they do it? At this time, it was Sun Yang's turn to have a headache, Guo Jia's words were by no means empty words, since he said that he didn't find it, then there should be no discovery, but if it's not them, who else in the world can do this? Sun Yang felt more and more that there was an invisible net surrounding him, and he didn't have any eyebrows yet!
"Is there any movement over there in Chang'an?" Since they didn't find it here, Sun Yang could only look forward to any news from Chang'an, if there was no news from them, Sun Yang knew, then he was really in trouble!
"No, there hasn't been a trace of news from Chang'an until now."
Sun Yang sighed, he can't count on Chang'an now, and he can't quench his thirst from far water, so he can only rely on himself to prevent it now.
"In this way, change the direction of surveillance, let all the secret guards in Jingzhou be more careful, and focus on Liu Biao, I don't believe it, so many things happen in Jingzhou and Liu Biao!" Sun Yang said with some annoyance, I am afraid that the only one who can help those people escape from the tracking of the secret guards is Liu Biao!
