With Liu Xun being killed, Han Lie, who captured Liu Xun's soldiers' talisman arrows, led the army into the city, and immediately surrounded the barracks. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 There are 14,000 soldiers and horses under Liu Xun's department in Lujiang City, and after Han Lie collected these soldiers and horses, he immediately arranged for Yu Ban to be responsible for the collection, and for those who are willing to stay, all of them will be incorporated into the armed army, and those who are unwilling can return home and be allocated land for cultivation.

Lujiang is an important town in the north of the Yangtze River, although it has experienced two months of war, but the treasury has been quite abundant, the money alone has reached 470,000, the grain has 120,000 stones, the county population is 40,000, and the county's registered household registration is 210,000, which is only more than 20,000 fewer than Jiujiang.

The Prefectural Chamber.

"Dinggong, the position of Lujiang Taishou is held by you, the position of Danyang County Lieutenant, I will let Wei Jing take over, and Yuan Ba will take over the position of Danyang Northern Lieutenant and Chungu County Commander, what do you think?" Han Lie sat on the main seat, and after looking at the registered population of Lujiang, he put down the bamboo slip in his hand.

Lu Dai has been in the position of lieutenant of Danyang County for several years, whether it is the training of the armed army, or the security of Danyang, as well as the pacification work of the surrounding Shanyue, he has done a very good job, and he has been promoted to the post of Lujiang Taishou, which is well deserved.

"The last general will not fail in his mission." When Lu Dai heard this, he hurriedly got up and walked under the lobby and solemnly bowed. Yuan Ba, who was at the head of the group, also thanked him with a happy face, he didn't expect that so soon, Han Lie would appoint him to guard one side, and he also held both military and civilian positions.

"The strong enemies around the Lujiang River look around, Sun Ce in the south of the Yangtze River and Huang Zu in the north of the Jiangbei are not to be underestimated, your burden is not light." Han Lie nodded and said to Liu Ye: "Ziyang, you will take the position of Lujiang County Cheng, and in the future, I will bother you to cooperate more with Dinggong to seek a better life for the people under Lujiang's rule." ”

"Whoa." Liu Ye got up and saluted: "The subordinates must do their part well and protect Lu Taishou." ”

"Lord Liu is polite, please give me more advice in the future." Lu Dai's kindness to Liu Ye was very low.

"As the saying goes, peace will be reconciled, and everything will be decided." Han Lie smiled heartily and said: "The top priority is for you and the two of you, first, to stabilize the people's hearts, promote rice planting, curb the strong and strong, and crack down on the bullies. In addition, the recruitment hall should be opened, the school should also be opened, and talents are the cornerstone of our future cause, which must not be ignored. ”

"Whoa." The two happily agreed.

"Lord, speaking of talents, I am a genius in Dongcheng Lusu, I have written several times to invite him, but he can't bear to leave his hometown because his mother is in the hall, and now Dongcheng is already under the rule of the lord, I expect him to be able to refuse, he will definitely work for the lord, I don't know if the lord can write a handwritten letter to recruit him?" Speaking of the Magi, Liu Ye remembered his former friend Lu Su in Dongcheng, and then recommended the case.

"Dongcheng Lu Zijing, I have been famous for a long time, without further ado, I will write a letter, Lao Fuziyang will send it to Dongcheng for several days, and I will ask Xu Sheng to send a clipper to escort you to it in person." The name of Lu Su, Han Lie, has been famous for a long time, and he was naturally overjoyed to learn that Liu Ye was actually friends with him.

"The heart of the lord seeking talent is unheard of in ancient and modern times." Liu Ye never expected that he had just recommended Lu Su, and his father-in-law would let him go on the road to visit immediately.

After the end of the parliament, Guo Jiajin said: "My lord, the mountains and the mountains in Danyang are mixed, and the Duke of Lu Ding has been under the rule for more than two years, although the pacification is appropriate, but the rebellions still occur every year, Wei Jing, although I have no contact, but Mr. Zibu commented on him that this person is knowledgeable and talented, but he has a strong personality, lacks a sense of the overall situation, and is not enough to take on the big responsibility, if the lord asks him to take over the post of lieutenant of Wu County, it should not be a big problem, but the situation in Danyang County is complicated, and he is afraid that it will be difficult to deal with it." ”

"What does Feng Xiao mean to let him and Buqi switch up?" Han Lie asked with a smile, shook his head and said: "No, Buzishan has done a good job in Wu County in the past two years, Wu County is indeed stable compared to Danyang, but Wu County is also a big county, and the pattern is also different, if you just let the two of you switch up, I'm afraid it will hurt Zishan's heart, I think it's better to let Wei Jing experience it, if it really doesn't work, let's discuss it again." ”

"Then it will be for a period of three months, if there is no big movement in Shanyue people before spring ploughing, then continue to retain, if the appeasement is not good, Shanyue people will inevitably go down the mountain to plunder, what does the lord think?" Guo Jia saw that Han Lie didn't want to hurt Bu Qi's heart, so he nodded and said.

"Okay, that's it." Han Lie agreed: "Jianye New City has been built, after the Lujiang River is stabilized this time, I am ready to shift my focus to Jianye, what does Feng Xiao think?" ”

"Jianye New City has the Yangtze River natural danger as a barrier, the former first emperor's account warlock once said, Jinling has the king's gas, five hundred years later when there is a king's Xing, for this reason the first emperor in order to cut off the Jinling dragon vein, specially dug up the water of Qinhuai to divide Jinling into two, and also renamed Jinling City, in order to trample on the gas of this dragon vein, but he does not know that the dragon is a divine object, it is auspicious when it encounters water, so I look at today's Jianye New Town, not only the king is more sufficient, but also has the weather, and the distance from the five hundred years of the Xiangshi should have the proverb of the king's prosperity, Now it's already time, now that the Han family is declining and reckless, the lord has moved the ruling office to Jianye, which is in line with the mandate of heaven. Guo Jia solemnly expressed his opinion in favor of the relocation of the shogunate.

"Haha, the words of filial piety, although ethereal, are still very much in line with me." Han Lie laughed disapprovingly, and continued: "Fengxiao, whether Jian Ye has the spirit of a king, Lie doesn't know, but there is one thing, Jian Ye meets our strategic needs, don't you think so?" ”

Guo Jia hesitated for a moment and said, "Can the strategic planning be adjusted with the changes in the battle situation?" Previously, according to the assumption of the lord, our strategic plan was to rely on the river, operate the two Huai, advance to Jingzhou, avoid Yuan Shao and Cao Cao and other powerful forces in the north, and accumulate capital. But now that Cao Cao died at our hands, and Yuzhou, the heart of the Central Plains, is within reach, why don't we take the opportunity to take Qingzhou, which has a weak defense, and take Yuzhou as the center to consolidate the land of Yuzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Yangzhou, but declare a full-scale war on Cao Ang in Yanzhou, block Yuan Shao on the north bank of the Yellow River, and wait for an opportunity to fight with it? ”

"Fengxiao, your plan is not wrong, but you ignore a problem, that is, today's Qingzhou, Yanzhou, including Yuzhou, the three states, the total population is less than one million, this large piece of land is barren land to put it bluntly, I know that it is like chicken ribs, the food is tasteless, but it is oily in your hands, isn't it in vain to increase your troubles?" Han Lie objected calmly, and continued: "On the contrary, although Jingzhou is only a state, but the population is as many as one million, not to mention, Nanjun is one of the most popular counties in the world, we can win Jingzhou, it can be said that it is better than the three states of Yuzhou, Yanzhou, and Qingzhou in the Central Plains, not to mention, we can also avoid a premature decisive battle with Yuan Shao in Hebei, and we can use this piece of fat in the Central Plains as a bait to induce the princes of all parties in the north to fight, so as to consume their strength." ”

"Secondly, to obtain Jingzhou, you can advance to Yizhou, over the years, I Han thirteen states, the population of the Central Plains has plummeted by three-quarters, to Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou can be said to be one out of ten, but Jingzhou and Yizhou such a safe place, the population has plummeted but half of the peak, not to mention, in recent years, with the recuperation of Liu Biao Liu Yan and his son, the population has increased, the population of the two states is now more than one million mark, such a solid state, now Jizhou and Yongzhou are comparable, such as Xuzhou under our rule, Now there are only 900,000 Hukou in Juzhou, which is still because of the Yellow Turban rebels who were placed in Licheng in the past, although Yangzhou is better, the population has just barely reached one million, so if we want to achieve the cause of hegemony, what we should do is to hold more people in our hands, rather than competing for those states and counties that have no population. ”

"It's still the lord's far-reaching consideration, and I really think about it inappropriately." The reason why Guo Jia has been focusing on the Central Plains is naturally affected by historical events, you must know that since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the wars for thousands of years have revolved around the Central Plains, so everyone's eyes are invariably focused on the Central Plains, and ignore the border areas such as Yangzhou and Yizhou.

"Alright, that's it." Han Lie smiled disapprerovingly, and said, "Where has that kid from Ling Tong been trained well in the past few years, hasn't he looked for me a few times recently, I hope I can go to the front line, will you, a famous teacher, let people go?" ”

"The public performance has courage and strategy, and the temperament has also been honed in the past two years, which is mature enough to take on a big responsibility, if the lord wants to use him, I suggest that he stay in Lujiang and strengthen the construction of the Lujiang naval army." Guo Jia was obviously very satisfied with this disciple, and he did not hesitate to praise him.

"It seems that this kid has learned well, but, as said, Lujiang is an important town in the north of the Yangtze River, hundreds of miles of water in the Yangtze River, leaving him alone is not enough, do you see if we can establish the Navy Governor's Mansion in Xunyang, let Xu Sheng pick the beam, Ling Tong will give him as his deputy, and it is the establishment of the post of Governor of the Navy Army, let Jiang Qin pick the beam, Yu Fu will also serve as the chief of the army, Dong Xi will be the captain of the Heqi Navy, and Zhu Huan will be the captain of the Guangling Navy, so that we can form various strongholds in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, I don't know what Fengxiao thinks?" Han Lie walked to the area map and pointed to several important cities in his own territory in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

"It is urgent to strengthen the construction of the navy, I suggest that the navy of Donglai Port and the navy of Licheng Port are planned for the unified dispatch of the Naval Governor's Office, and Jiang Qin can be appointed as the deputy governor of the Navy, Jiang Qin is loyal and brave, and there is no lack of ability to lead troops, but he still lacks the overall strategic view, and he is still unable to serve as the commander of the overall situation." Guo Jia is a person who is good at recognizing people and has a keen ability to perceive people's hearts, which Han Lie has no doubt at all.

"According to what you said, the strength of the Governor's Mansion of each Navy is 5,000 people, and the Governor's Mansion is 10,000 full strength, as for the candidate for the Governor of the Navy Army, I thought of a candidate, and you promise to be satisfied with this person's filial piety." Han Lie's decision to establish a powerful naval army was not an overnight thing, and if he wanted to deal with Sun Ce and attack Jingzhou, he had to rely on a powerful naval army.

However, as Guo Jia said, whether it is Jiang Qin, Xu Sheng, or Dong Xi Zhu Huan, they are all loyal and brave tiger generals, but as commanders, they are obviously still a little worse.

"Oh, doesn't the lord belong to General Gongming?" Guo Jia thought about it carefully, although there were many brave generals under Han Lie's account, but those who could provoke the position of the governor of the navy were now qualified enough and had this ability, and it seemed that Xu Huang was the only one. As for Zhao Yun and Tai Shici, although they have the ability, these two are both cavalry generals, and the commander of the naval army is obviously the opposite.

"Gongming is the general in our army, and Lie can't do without him." Han Lie waved his hand and smiled, and said with a smile: "It's dinner time, let's eat, this Lujiang is predetermined, and there are still a lot of things to deal with next." ”

In order to restore order in Lujiang, Han Lie urged Lu Dai, the new Taishou, to severely crack down on the bully Xiaoxiao in the city, and also suppressed some powerful people in the market, especially the family that deliberately raised the market price and exploited the people.

In a short period of ten days, those heroes on the ground of Lujiang who are rich and unkind are all frightened, for fear that a crime will fall and cause the tragedy of destroying the family and destroying the family.

At the same time of suppression, Han Lie also wooed those families with good reputations, not only invited the patriarchs of various clans, but also asked them to recommend talented children to come out, in order to show his grace, Han Lie at the banquet, on the spot, appointed three young scholars as the history of Lujiang County Government.

However, at the banquet that day, one of the people invited by Han Lie did not come, and afterwards Han Lie asked Lu Dai, "Why didn't Gong Qiao attend the banquet today?" ”

Qiao Gong as a Lujiang family, the ancestors of the past dynasties, several Lujiang Taishou mansions have attracted equal attention to it, and Qiao Gong has always been kind and generous, knowledgeable, his own private school, for decades for Lujiang to cultivate a large number of students, even a warlord like Liu Xun, do not dare to provoke Qiao Gong easily.

"I heard that Qiao Gong has recently pawned his property, and it seems that he intends to move, so I also specially sent someone to investigate, if the news is not bad, it seems that it is because the He family ordered by the lord to kill is the in-law of Qiao Gong's concubine, for fear of being implicated, so Qiao Gong intends to leave Anhui City." Lu Dai has now taken office and officially took over the post of Lujiang Taishou.

"Oh, there is such a thing, it seems that there are two sides to everything." Han Lie smiled slightly, and said with a casual smile: "It is said that Qiao Gong has two daughters under his knees, both of whom have the appearance of national colored glass?" ”

"I haven't seen it, but this matter should be true, everyone in Lujiang Mansion knows about it, but very few people have seen it." Lu Dai hurriedly replied respectfully, and secretly wondered in his heart: The lord is now a young man, and he has not been pregnant again for more than a year after marrying his wife, could it be that he has taken a fancy to the second daughter?

"I know about this, Dinggong, you go down first." Since Han Lie knew that people didn't want to see him, he didn't continue to pursue it, and with his current prestige and status, there was no need to be entangled with a county family.

"Whoa." After Lu Dai responded, he suddenly said: "Lord, there is a group of fierce tigers in the east of Lujiang, and the disaster is not small, and the minister hopes that the lord can use the help of the archers under the forbidden general's account to eradicate this evil for the people." ”

"A pack of tigers?" Han Lie was surprised, and couldn't help but be interested, and immediately said: "You don't have to worry about this matter, arrange a guide to guide the way, and I should go hunting in person tomorrow." ”

"Huh!?" Lu Dai's scalp suddenly went numb, dealing with the tiger was not a joke, although he knew that Han Lie was brave, but if there was any injury, as an advocate, he would inevitably be blamed by all parties, so that he was stunned on the spot for a while.

"Ah, that's it, now that the feast has just ended, I don't plan to let you stay overnight." Han Lie waved his hand and said with a playful smile.

Lu Dai, who had a bitter face, could only walk out with a wry smile, before walking out of the house, he happened to meet Dian Wei, who was slightly drunk, and the two were also old acquaintances, they said hello to him, and were about to leave, Dian Wei saw that he had a sad face, so he smiled and asked: "Dinggong, you are the county guard on the pastoral side, and you don't see you entertaining when you are promoted, why do you still look sad?" ”

"Alas, it's all my fault for being too talkative." Lu Dai smiled bitterly and said: "This is not the lord asked me why Qiao Gong's family did not come to the banquet, and also mentioned the matter of Qiao Gong's two daughters, I was talking a lot, so I said that there were tigers in the east of the Lujiang River, but the lord suddenly became interested, saying that he would personally remove the tiger pest tomorrow." ”

"Hey, what a big deal I said, just a tiger, what a foot, Dinggong rest assured, it just so happens that I haven't drunk tiger bone soup for a while, and the tiger whip, I can tell you that this is a big tonic, haha......" Dian Wei, who had an obscene face, couldn't help laughing out loud when he said this.

"Farewell, farewell." Lu Dai was interrupted by Dian Wei like this, and only then did he realize that he seemed to have said something that he shouldn't have said, and hurried away.

Dian Wei was happy here, but Zhang Fen, the guard on the side, pulled Dian Wei's sleeve and said, "General Dian, did you hear clearly, just now Lu Taishou said that the lord mentioned the second daughter of Duke Qiao." ”

"What's wrong, there's a problem?" Dian Wei glared at a pair of bull's eyes and asked rhetorically.

"General Dian, how many years have you followed the lord, and our lord is a good (woman) man? Also, have you heard the lord mention the woman? "Zhang Fen, this kid has always been flexible, and he wants to be smart.

"Not yet? Uh, do you mean that the lord is interested in the second daughter of the Duke Qiao? Although Dian Wei was rough, he was not an elm head, so he reacted at once, and said: "Then what are you waiting for, I will lead the troops to snatch the two daughters over, just to warm the quilt for the lord." ”

"General Dian, this matter can not be rushed, I heard that Qiao Gong is a big clan in the county, there are hundreds of private soldiers alone, we go so rashly, I am afraid that it will cause conflicts, maybe it will also cause casualties, I think we should take advantage of Qiao Gong's failure to attend the banquet today, go to question, and then take advantage of the other party's defenselessness, and take down Qiao Gong in one fell swoop, so that the battle between swords and soldiers can be avoided, and it will not hurt the harmony." Zhang Fen saw that Dian Wei turned around and was about to go, so he hurriedly grabbed him and persuaded him.

"As far as you kid is clever, I can't listen to you." When Dian Wei heard it, he also felt that what Zhang Fen said was reasonable, and as soon as the two of them were combined, Dian Wei led his own soldiers under his tent and went straight to Qiao's mansion overnight. (To be continued.) )
