The golden autumn of October is a good time for harvest, and the previous war does not seem to have affected the prosperity of Jingzhou, and the people who are busy running for the harvest can be seen everywhere, showing a thriving color.

At the end of the month, feeling that the situation in Jingzhou had almost settled down, Lu An had a plan to return to Jiangdong.

Calculating the time, since the day he sent out the army, he has been on the expedition for more than three months, although for a war, he has not been out for too long, but the consumption of nearly 200,000 troops, every day can be said to be an astronomical amount, can be saved, since Jingzhou has been lowered, then there is no need to stay here again, moreover, Zhang Liao and other cadres are still waiting for him to meet in Jiangdong.

However, before leaving, Lu An was troubled by one thing, a place as big as Jingbei would have to be guarded if it was defeated, who should he send to lead Jingzhou's affairs? In this regard, Lu An was a little hesitant.

Jingbei is not a poor place like Jingnan, this is the core of Jingzhou, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the core of the world.

In fact, if you want to talk about good candidates, Lu An is not nothing, in terms of talent, no one is more suitable than Zhou Yu, an all-rounder, but this kind of idea just flashed in Lu An's mind, and it disappeared in an instant, and a person who has taken refuge for less than a year will be in charge of Jingbei, unless he is crazy.

It's not that he doesn't believe in Zhou Yu, but because he can't do some things too out of line, if he wants to reuse Zhou Yu, he can even temporarily let the other party be the main general, but he can't promote Zhou Yu to a higher status than Gan Ning and others all at once, in that case, I am afraid that the civil and military forces below will immediately mess up, after all, no matter how eclectic it is, there must be a limit, otherwise it is not eclectic, but there is no charter.

Zhou Yu can't do it, Lu An thought about letting Gan Ning come to guard Jingbei again, but obviously this is not a good candidate, Gan Ning has courage and some brains, he is not a reckless man who only knows how to fight, but his character is a little wild, and he is not a person who keeps to himself, let him lead Jingbei, I am afraid that he will be even more unable to listen to the advice of others when the time comes, and it is easy to go his own way.

This kind of thing is more repulsive to Lu An, Guan Yu in history is an example, such a fierce person, because he was too arrogant, he refused to listen to Ma Liang's advice, and finally ended up with a miserable end.

Thinking about it, Lu An was a little difficult to make a decision for a while, until he remembered a simple face in his mind, he was a little stunned, and almost forgot about this guy, if it was a candidate, this person was really the most suitable.

、、、、、

A few days later, Lu An summoned a group of core civil and military officials to the mansion to discuss with them the matter of returning to Jiangdong.

"My lord, are you going to go back now? But our new policy hasn't seen great results yet, and Changhe Academy hasn't been built yet! Xu Shu in the audience hesitated slightly, but still stood up and said.

Although in the past two months, they have bought back most of the land from those wealthy families, and have distributed it to the people according to the population, but after all, the time is still short, if Lu An is ready to return to the army now, it will inevitably make him a little worried about whether the new policy will cause any variables after Lu An returns to the army.

"The new policy has been basically implemented, the rest is just a matter of time, no officials under me can do it well, and there is no need to worry about the affairs of the Changhe Academy, after it is built, just act according to the rules of the other two Changhe Academies!" Lu An smiled.

This is why he transferred a large number of officials from Jiangdong, those people are his foundation, and they are also familiar with the new policy, as long as Jingzhou is under his control, no one can hinder the implementation of his new policy, after he is gone, if there is any family or bold and bold dare to make trouble, it will definitely be killed and set an example.

Thinking of this, Lu An couldn't help but think of Cai Mao, Liang Wenpin and others, after Liu Biao was destroyed, these people finally surrendered to themselves, but the so-called once a son of heaven and a courtier, when Liu Biao ruled Jingzhou, these people were all important ministers with authority, and now their status is naturally plummeting, although they will not fall to the bottom, but they are no longer majestic, judging from the performance during this time, these people are now very honest and quite cooperative with their new policies, and they don't know if they are dissatisfied with themselves in their hearts.

Shaking his head slightly, throwing away some distractions in his mind, Lu An saw that there was no objection to the civil and military cadres in the audience, so he turned his gaze to Gan Ning, and said: "Since you have no objections, then the matter of returning to the army is so decided, in the future, all the big and small affairs in Jingbei, I am ready to let Lu Zijing govern, he will be in Jingzhou in the near future, when the time comes, Xingba, you will stay and help him, and take charge of the military affairs by the way!" ”

"Yes!" Gan Ning bowed his hand very respectfully and didn't say anything.

"Then let's do it, the rest of the people go back and prepare, let's set off in a few days and return to Jiangdong!"

、、、、、、、、

The news of Lu Anma's return from the office division quickly spread to all parts of Jiangdong, and this information was also posted on the city bulletins of various counties and counties.

This also made all the people of Jiangdong spontaneously celebrate, and some even shed tears of excitement.

After a few years of the new policy, the fate of these Jiangdong people seems to have long been connected with Lu An, the people may not know much, but what they know is that in the past, their lives were dim, they did not have their own fields, they were wantonly oppressed, and most of the officials were just decorations or even accomplices, and few were honest and strict.

But all of this has long ceased to exist with Lu An's accession, they have their own land, and there are fewer taxes, and they don't have to be careful when they see the wealthy families, and the government has become fair and strict, and as long as they are not lazy, they can eat enough, and the current Jiangdong is as beautiful as a pure land.

Only after the incomparable darkness will we cherish the light more and more. Therefore, there will be many people who are willing to set up a shrine for Lu An, they will be happy for every big victory of Lu An, and they will also be sad for a defeat last year, because they understand that Lu An is their protector, and only if Lu An is well, they will be better.

"General Lu finally won this time, and he also took Jingzhou!" Standing next to the posted notice, an old man who looked like an old farmer listened to the literate scholar next to him read the above information, and his face turned red with excitement.

"General Lu won two months ago, but he only returned to the army now, don't you know?"

"Well, I went to the farm some time ago, I really don't know!"

“、、、、、、”

Gao Shun and Zhang Liao were standing not far from the notice board of Nanjing City at this time, looking at the people who were excited about it, and their expressions were thoughtful.

This was the second month they had been in Jiangdong, and after resting in Huainan County for a while, Huang Zhong very politely sent someone to escort them to Jiangdong, saying that Lu An would return to Jiangdong to meet them soon.

During the period of waiting for Lu An's return, in addition to seeing this completely different customs from the north, they also truly appreciated Lu An's new political world.

"It seems that General Lu is even more skilled than we imagined!" After a while, Zhang Liao spit out a sentence softly. He was not familiar with Lu An, the two had only met once under the Tiger Prison, and they were hostile, and the other party deliberately sold his favor to him and Gao Shun at that time.

As for the rest, it's just some legends about the other party that I've heard over the years, but hearing is false, seeing is believing, coming to this Jiangdong for many days, according to what he has seen with his own eyes, Zhang Liao has already sketched a basic impression of Lu An in his heart, a person who can be loved by the people, is definitely a famous lord who can rule the world, not to mention, this famous lord also has a powerful military name.

"From a young general under Kong Rong back then to a position that even the peak of Wen Hou had to look up to, just looking at General Lu's extraordinary experience is already powerful enough, I can't wait to see what this strange man who is hated by the world and respected as a saint by the people has become now!" Gao Shun said with a hint of admiration.

"It's rare to hear that from your mouth!" Zhang Liao said with a little surprise.

After saying that, both of them smiled slightly, and then went to a luxurious mansion in the west of the city.

This mansion was specially arranged for Sun Shao when he learned that Lu An ordered to treat Zhang Liao and others with courtesy, and as for the other wolf riders in Bingzhou, they were also properly arranged, although Zhang Liao and the others felt a little useless and embarrassed, but remembering that Lu Lingqi was Lu Bu's daughter before, and her identity was special, she finally thanked Sun Shao.

The two returned to the mansion, and before they entered the door, they saw a tall and thin man waiting at the gate, and when they saw the two of them as if they were about to come in, they suddenly asked: "Which one is named Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan?" ”

"Below, dare to ask?" Zhang Liao and Gao Shun glanced at each other, feeling a little confused, but they still arched their hands and said very politely.

"Someone asked me to bring you a letter, please keep it!" The tall and thin man didn't say much, took out a secret letter from his bosom, and ran away.

"Who's going to send me letters?" Zhang Liao read a sentence in surprise, then opened it casually and looked at it, and then his face became pale.

"Wen Yuan, what's wrong with you?" Gao Shun on the side felt that something was wrong and asked softly.

"Cao Cao used Hu'er (Zhang Liao's son) as a threat and asked me to go to Yanzhou to serve him!" Zhang Liaoqiang held back the anger in his heart and gritted his teeth.

"Huh?" Gao Shun was stunned for a moment, and then a burst of anger surged up, and he scolded: "Cao Cao, this thief, is too despicable, he is in such a high position, but he acts so recklessly, it is really inhuman!" ”

"Wenyuan, what are you going to do? Do you really want to vote for that thief? After Gao Shun scolded, he asked about Zhang Liao's plans.

"I 、、、、" Zhang Liao opened his mouth, but said nothing.
