Chapter 214: Wang Chong is very conflicted
The fifth year of Jian'an, June 4, Shicheng.
Wang Chong sat alone in the empty lobby, his hand touching his chin, analyzing the current situation in Jiangdong.
Yuzhang County has nothing to say, and now it has been completely included in the territory of Jinfan; Luling is a little troublesome, not only the territory is wide, the mountains and rivers are treacherous, there are many barbarian tribes who have lived here for a long time, although Wei Yan is both civil and military, but if you want to subdue this group of barbarians who eat ancient things, I am afraid it will take a lot of twists and turns, but no matter what, Luling, Wang Chong must take it.
Luling County, in fact, is located in the middle reaches of the Ganjiang River a large basin, where the climate is warm and humid, the light is sufficient, the rainfall is abundant, the land is fertile, the natural conditions are unique, although the current sparsely populated, barren everywhere, but as long as it is developed, it will soon become a grain production center of Jinfan, Wang Chong has even decided that when the situation is stable, he will gradually move the people to Luling, increase the local population, and promote its development as soon as possible.
As for Danyang County, the situation is relatively complicated, Wang Chong confronted each other with the Jiangdong army in Danyang County in Shicheng, but no one dared to act rashly, and this also bought a lot of time and space for Gan Ning to attack other townships and counties in Danyang County.
Originally, Wang Chong listened to Liu Ye's admonition, and felt that with Jinfan's current strength, it was indeed impossible to swallow the entire Jiangdong in one go, and the meal had to be eaten one bite at a time, and it was easy to pull the crotch of his pants if he took too big a step.
But with the surrender of the Xie family a few days ago, Wang Chong's mind inevitably became active again, after all, if he could take Jiangdong in one battle, Wang Chong didn't want to attack twice in a long night, who knows how many branches will have to be born in the future to let Jiangdong relax?
Gan Ning's troops entered Yu Qian, and Sun Quan would definitely not sit idly by, but he no longer had any extra soldiers and horses to send, and the only choice was to transfer He Qi, who was stationed in Shanyin, to Yu Qian. And once He Qi left Shanyin, Xie Xuan's opportunity came.
Therefore, Wang Chong is now very contradictory, on the one hand. He always remembered Liu Ye's advice, but on the other hand, Wang Chong didn't want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, it was as if someone had placed a delicious cake in front of Wang Chong, but this cake could be poisonous. It's up to him to take the risk of eating.
In fact, the reason why Wang Chong is so anxious is nothing more than because the Xie family's dark chess is a bit special, the shelf life is too short, and if you don't use it now, it will expire soon.
The Xie family has a marriage contract with Sun Quan, and when the war is over, Sun Quan will inevitably ask for the marriage to be completed, but Xie Xuan has already dedicated his daughter to Wang Chong. Then this marriage will naturally be blown, and the paper can't hold the fire, and when Sun Quan will be held accountable, the Xie family's defection to Jinfan will definitely be exposed.
Wang Chong regretted it very much, he didn't think much about it at the beginning, his head was hot, and he opened his mouth to agree to Xie Xuan's extremely ridiculous request.
If he hadn't agreed to Xie Xuan's request before. Instead, let him marry his daughter to Sun Quan according to the agreement, so that the Xie family's dark chess can not only exist for a long time, but the possibility of exposure will be much smaller, but it's a pity. It's too late to say anything now, Xie Xuan has been back to Shanyin for several days, he said that once he returns to Shanyin, he will immediately send his daughter secretly to Shicheng, and now I'm afraid that he is already on the way here, and when the time comes, he can't send people back, right?
As a modern person. Wang Chong really can't just treat women as playthings and goods like people in this era.
"Lord!" At this time, the handsome and tall Taishi Cilong walked in from the outside and saluted Wang Chong, "I don't know why the lord summoned the last general?" ”
"Of course it's a good thing!" Wang Chong smiled and picked up a letter from the table, and raised it to Tai Shi Ci, "This is the letter that Wenhe just sent from Wancheng, I think Ziyi will be very interested!" ”
Tai Shici took the letter from Wang Chong's hand suspiciously, opened it, and immediately shrank his pupils, and said excitedly: "This ...... Is this true, my lord!? ”
Wang Chong nodded and smiled: "Naturally, it's true, when the war between my Jinfan and Jiangdong is over, Ziyi will be able to see his wife, children and mother when he returns to Anhui City!" ”
Tai Shici fell to his knees with a 'poof', and said with tears in his eyes: "Thank you, lord!" ”
Wang Chong hurriedly said: "Ziyi doesn't need to be polite, you are both my subordinate and my sibling, I should try my best to reunite your family!" ”
It didn't take long for Tai Shi Ci to rescue Kong Rong in Beihai, so he went south to Jiangdong alone and went to Liu Xian, whether it was under Liu Xian, Sun Ce or Wang Chong's tent over the years, Tai Shi Ci has been busy fighting in the east and west, and there is no time to go back to Donglai to pick up his family, Wang Chong knew that Tai Shi Ci was a filial son, in order to let him work for Jinfan with peace of mind, he asked Jia Xu to use the power of the dark department to secretly go to Donglai to pick up Tai Shi Ci's family, the reason why he did not tell Tai Shi Ci in advance was to wait for the matter to give him a surprise.
Tai Shi Ci is fifteen years older than Wang Chong, and now he is thirty and five, as early as Donglai, he was married and had children, and his son Tai Shi Xiang happened to be the same age as Zhang Quan, one year older than Ding Fengmeicheng, and sixteen years old.
Wang Chong had already decided to take Tai Shi Xiang by his side and serve as his personal guard like Ding Feng and others, in addition, Wang Chong also decided to put Zhang Quan, who was quite mature in both martial arts and strategy, to Tai Shi Ci's cavalry battalion as a deputy general.
When Wang Chong told Tai Shici about his decision, Tai Shici naturally agreed, because everyone knew that serving as Wang Chong's personal guard was actually just a transition, just like Zhang Quan, just when the time was ripe, he would be released by Wang Chong as an official and promoted by the government.
After staying for a while, Liu Ye also rushed over, and seeing Tai Shici's ruddy eyes, he couldn't help but quip: "Ziyi, didn't you just be reprimanded by the lord, and you couldn't help crying?" ”
Hearing Liu Ye's words, Tai Shi Ci rolled his eyes frequently, and Wang Chong laughed: "Ziyang, Ziyi and even a person of love, maybe you read this letter, you should know why Ziyi is like this!" ”
"Oh?" Liu Ye was curious and looked at the letter, and suddenly suddenly smiled and said to Tai Shici, "Ziyi, congratulations, we can finally reunite as a family!" ”
Tai Shici also smiled: "I just want to have wings now, and then fly back to Anhui City to visit my mother immediately!" ”
"I can understand Ziyi's mood, but it depends on ......" Liu Ye paused as he said, and glanced at Wang Chong meaningfully, "Do you want this war to end earlier!" ”
"What do you mean?" Tai Shi Ci was stunned for a moment, and looked at Wang Chong in confusion.
The corners of Wang Chong's mouth showed a touch of bitterness: "Ziyang, didn't you see through my mind again?" (To be continued.) )
