Xiangyang is the seat of Jingzhou, and it is also the last line of defense that Liu Biao piled up with the remaining troops, and Lu An captured Xiangyang City, which means that in addition to the limited cities and counties such as Wancheng in the hands of Cao Cao, Jingzhou has completely become Lu An's bag.

After all the troops were stationed in Xiangyang, within a few days, the remaining city guards of Jiangling and other cities spontaneously presented a surrender table, expressing their willingness to surrender to Lu An to accept the reorganization of Jiangdong, of course, this is actually a superficial form, because the entire garrison of Jingzhou was all wiped out by Lu An, regardless of whether these city guards and county orders handed over the surrender table, Jingzhou has been surnamed Lu.

Lu An was not polite, he accepted all the surrenders as ordered, and sent sergeants to take over the city one by one.

However, although the city is all in control, but the positions such as the city guard county order have to be rearranged, the previous city guard county order was arranged by Liu Biao, Lu An naturally can no longer be used in a short period of time, even if it is used, it can only use a small number of officials who have a really good reputation, and all the rest have to be transferred first, so Lu An had to send letters to Jiang Wan in Jingnan and Sun Shao in Jiangdong, asking them to urgently transfer a large number of officials to Jingbei to take up posts.

Jingbei itself has fertile land, and there is enough land in half a state, even if some of them are still appointed to the original posts, there are still countless vacant positions, but fortunately, because there are two Changhe Academies that have been sending talents to Lu'an, although the gap is very large, Sun Shao and Jiang Wan still quickly replied that they would send enough personnel to serve immediately.

This also made Lu An breathe a sigh of relief, and defeated Jingzhou, naturally he couldn't just do it, he had to let the people of Jingzhou return to their hearts in the shortest possible time to be able to completely digest this rich Jingzhou, and finally turn it into his own strength, but his situation was different from that of other princes, if his new policy did not send some trustworthy talents over, it would not be able to be implemented smoothly in various cities and counties.

、、、

On the fourteenth day after Lu An took Xiangyang, the talents sent by Jiangdong and Jingnan had not yet arrived, but a major incident occurred in Xiangyang City.

In the early morning, Lu An was practicing martial arts in the backyard of the state pastoral mansion left by Liu Biao before, and Zhou Yu hurriedly walked in, wanting to stop talking.

"Gongjin will say something if he has something?" Lu An's eyes swept and he put down the gun in his hand.

"Last night, two families in Xiangyang City were robbed!" Zhou Yu arched his hand and said softly.

"Robbed?" Lu An frowned, this was too much of a slap in the face, he himself was stationed here, and someone dared to do such a thing under his nose.

"Yes, it is the Zhang family and the Yan family in the south of the city, the property of the family has been robbed, most of the female dependents have been insulted, and many lives have been killed and injured!" Zhou Yu said again.

"Do you know who did it?" Lu An's face became even more ugly, and he asked.

"It has been investigated, but there are a lot of people involved in this matter, and there are two thousand people involved!" Zhou Yu said, a little hesitant.

"It can't be our own sergeants!" Hearing that so many people were involved, Lu An felt a little bad and asked.

"That's not it, our soldiers are all veterans brought from Jiangdong, and the lord has a word first, and they are not allowed to infringe on the property of any people and families when they enter the city, they naturally know the proportions!"

Zhou Yu paused for a moment before he said: "It was the private army of those families before who did it, they felt that after the lord entered the city, sooner or later he would take action against those families, they thought that no one would care about those families if they lost power, so under the leadership of a few principals, they gathered two thousand people to directly break into the two families last night and looted them!" ”

"Who told them I was going to do something to those families? And who gave them so much power? Lu An wanted to scold people angrily.

What the hell is this than a group of things, although Haoqiang is hateful, but those family properties are also accumulated from generation to generation, according to the law of the Han Dynasty, this is completely said in the past, he tried a lot of hard work to open a new deal, and even took money and even white strips to forcibly seize land from Haoqiang, just to fight for some relatively equal status for these poor people who were born in slavery, but they actually bullied others, and burned, killed and looted, and did all kinds of evil.

"The private armies of these families were slaves before, and few of them were literate, and they didn't know much about my Jiangdong's new policy, but they thought that our new policy was to defeat all the heroes and strong, so they dared to be so bold." Zhou Yu said helplessly.

"Have all those who committed the crime been arrested?" Lu An's face turned blue and purple, and finally let out a long breath and asked.

"It has been surrounded by all the officers and soldiers of our army, and because there are too many people, I have come to ask the Lord to announce his opinion!" Zhou Yu replied.

"Grab them all and behead them for public display." Lu An waved his hand and said very coldly.

"However, there are as many as 2,000 people, and beheading them all together will make the city a little panicked!" Zhou Yu hesitated for a moment and said.

"The family is also a human being, those slave private troops actually dare to burn and loot in the city after our army is stationed, if it is not severely punished, how can the majesty of our Jiangdong Army exist?" Lu An said with a resolute expression.

He opened the New Deal in order to give the poor people a way to live, a chance, but the ultimate goal is to create a world where the rich and the poor can coexist. Therefore, at this time, he will definitely not be soft, and he will kill when he deserves.

"Yu will deal with it later!" Zhou Yu nodded thoughtfully.

"After beheading these people, you come to the mansion to get some silver and jewelry, and send them to the Yan and Zhang families, just say that the cause of this matter is that I, Lu Xuantong, did not explain the benefits and disadvantages of the new policy, which led to such a tragedy, if they have any requirements, as long as they are not excessive, they can ask me, and I will do my best to satisfy them!" Before Zhou Yu left, Lu An thought about it and added.

、、、、、

For the whole of Jingzhou, this was just a small episode, which quickly subsided under Lu An's tough methods.

Maybe it was Lu An's handling of this matter that brought some sense of security to those families, and when this matter was publicized, the whole family in Jingzhou had a slight improvement in Lu An's senses, although he still had a congenital antipathy towards him, but at least he was no longer mentioned as before, except for fear and secretly hatred, which was an unexpected joy.

After nearly ten days, the officials sent by Jiangdong and Jingnan finally arrived, and Lu An immediately began a large-scale rectification, replacing most of the city guards and county orders with Jiangdong officials, and then began to implement the new policy.

The implementation of the new policy is still the old way, using silver money and jewelry to exchange the land in the hands of the powerful family, but compared to playing white strips in Jiangdong, this time it is not so poor, Jingzhou's wealth is not in vain, especially Liu Biao himself is still an expert in governance, he has accumulated a lot of money and grain for Jingzhou's treasury in the past few years, and in the end it was all cheaper Lu An.

As a result, Liu Biao's hard work for so many years before was suddenly spent like water under Lu An's so-called new policy, and most of it finally fell into those families, and what those families paid was naturally the land accumulated by their ancestors for generations.

The process of mutual replacement was smoother than Lu An imagined, and after he posted the new policy, I don't know if it was out of gratitude or some other mentality. The two largest families in Jingzhou, Cai Kuai's two families, under the leadership of Cai Mao and Kuai Liang respectively, first succumbed to Lu An.

And those small families, when someone took the lead and had no power to resist, naturally had no other choice, so they had to accept Lu An's new policy, and took the excess land to exchange money with Lu An, as for the private soldiers in their families who exceeded the upper limit of Lu An's allowable existence, they had been dismissed by Lu An as early as the moment they helped Liu Biao defend the city, leaving them only hundreds allowed to exist in the government decree, and they could not be killed at will, so that even if there were changes in the future, the families would not be able to make waves.

Just when Lu An made Jingzhou in full swing, Cao Cao of the Central Plains finally found an opportunity to win after a year of stalemate with Lu Bu, who was holding Xiapi City, or perhaps it could be said that it was heaven's help.

It stands to reason that in this hot summer, although there is a lot of rainfall, there will be no big rainstorms, but Xia Pi is close to the East China Sea, and it just so happened that during this time, there was a typhoon on the sea, and as a result, it rained for a few days in Xia Pi, which somehow gave Xun You inspiration, and he offered the strategy of flooding Xia Pi, and Cao Cao, who was aiming at the world, obviously did not care whether this plan would cause harm to the people in Xia Pi City, and so on, so he adopted it directly.

After that, the water of the Sihe River was led to Xiapi City, and with the previous torrential rain, the water level grew higher and higher, which made the morale of Lu Bujun's army plummet, and there were soldiers and soldiers in turmoil every day.

What's even more outrageous is that Lu Bu's eight strong generals, Wei Xu and Song Xian, didn't know when they had a rebellious heart against Lu Bu, and randomly found an excuse to invite Lu Bu to the banquet, Lu Bu didn't suspect it, but drank the wine and meat containing a lot of drugs that Wei Xu and Song Xian had prepared a long time ago.

Although Wei Xu and Song Xian were beheaded afterwards, this incident hit Lu Bu hard, and for several days in a row, Lu Bu remained silent.
