Looking at Liu Zhang, Qu Lingchen almost agreed, but when he thought of some things, he still couldn't be calm.

Qu Lingchen was buried in Liu Zhang's arms, and after a long time, he whispered in the voice of a mosquito: "I, didn't people give it to you a long time ago?" A faint flush appeared on his face, remembering the unbearable night outside Guiyang, when he recalled it before, it always seemed like a nightmare, but now, Qu Lingchen felt a burst of sweetness.

"I'm sorry, husband, Yan'er has been your person all my life, but I can't be with you all the time."

Qu Lingchen suddenly remembered something, and took out a red ling, which was Qu Tian's one, which was extremely bright in the moonlight.

Qu Lingchen wrapped Hongling around his wrist and said softly: "I will keep it in my hand all the time, if the leader sends me to assassinate you one day, I will untie it, and you will not show mercy to my subordinates at that time." ”

Liu Zhang glanced at Hongling and gently hugged Qu Lingchen over: "I can't do anything to Yan'er, as long as Yan'er is obediently caught by me, I'll take you back to the room and lock you up, okay?" ”

Liu Zhang's breath sprayed on his body, feeling the tightness in front of his lower abdomen, Qu Lingchen blushed for a while, couldn't help but hit Liu Zhang, and suddenly frowned: "By the way, husband, how is your illness?" ”

"Isn't that all right for me? It's okay. ”

"It's weird."

Qu Lingchen glanced at Liu Zhang, "You, you just don't care about your body." He took out the Liangliang piano from the cloth bag, put his knees cross-legged on his knees, plucked the strings gently, and after a soft note, Qu Lingchen slowly entered the state and played the piano intently.

The sound of the piano is curling, the dance is light, and the same tune as the last time on Yunmeng Island, the piano around the beam is even more intoxicating, Liu Zhang seems to have returned to that island, at that time, he and Qu Lingchen have not experienced anything. In his own heart, the other party is a white page.

And after so many vicissitudes, it seems to have returned to the original point.

"Report."

A fast horse galloped from a distance, breaking the quiet environment, Wang Xu and the others knew that Liu Zhang never wasted political affairs, even if he listened to the piano intoxicated, all the pro-soldiers could also listen to it. But they didn't dare to stop the letter horse, and let the letter soldiers in.

The letter soldier dismounted and knelt down, and bowed to Liu Zhang: "Lord, Mr. Fa led the troops back to the city, and Lord Huang Quan asked the lord to return to his house." ”

"My lord, Mr. Fa will lead the troops back to the city, and Lord Huang Quan will ask the lord to return to his house." Seeing that Liu Zhang didn't hear it, the soldier had to repeat it again and raise his voice. The sound spreads to the four fields.

Liu Zhang was intoxicated by the sound of the piano, his heart was at peace, he was woken up by the cavalry, clenched his fists, and really wanted to strangle the cavalry to death.

I finally managed to hold back my anger. Looking at Qu Lingchen, Qu Lingchen didn't open his eyes, just nodded, and the piano continued to beat lightly and serenely.

Liu Zhang jumped off the stone. stepped on the war horse, glanced at Qu Lingchen, who was still playing the piano, and galloped towards Chengdu with his own soldiers.

The night is silent. Moonlight is like silver.

Qu Lingchen plucked the strings, and sadness slowly appeared on his face.

"This person has great ambitions and great kindness, but unfortunately God is jealous of talents, I hope that when we meet in the future, I can still play a piano song for him."

Since Yunmeng Island, this sentence has surfaced countless times in his mind, and every time he regrets it, he feels that he has seen the wrong person, but at this time, Qu Lingchen listened to the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and really wanted to continue to play the piano for him.

However, I am obviously willing, why can't I accept all this calmly.

The sound of the horse's hooves faded away, the sound of the piano stopped leisurely, the five slender fingers covered the silky strings, Qu Lingchen buried his head on the piano, and let the moonlight sprinkle on the back of the white clothes.

Fa Zheng returned to Chengdu, and the injury was so bad that he also came back, this coke broke Bao'er, Bao'er handed over the army to Hua Boy, and pestered him all day long, Liu Zhang was also happy to be an adult, and his injury was not healed, and he took a few days off.

Fa Zheng brought back 15,000 soldiers and horses, including 8,000 from Jiangdong, and Yang Huai allocated 7,000 people from the area of Yubei Fuling and transferred them to Chengdu, and Chengdu's defense force was enriched.

Liu Zhang canonized Zhu Rong as a general of oblique thorns, and the barbarian soldiers and soldiers in Nanzhong were each awarded barbarian knights, rewarded brocade cloth, gold, silver and grain fields, Zhu Rong took the barbarians back to Nanzhong, and Shamoke took the barbarians back to the town of Wuxi.

Bao'er stayed in Chengdu because of a powerful relationship, and Hua Er'er led some soldiers and horses from Wuxi and Wuxi to return to Wuxi and continue farming.

The remaining barbarians who were willing to submit were integrated by Xiao Furong and Bao'er as the deputy commander, a total of 3,000 people remained in Chengdu, all of them were issued with light armor bows and arrows and white pole guns, and became a well-equipped barbarian army.

Ten days later, the curfew was lifted, soldiers and horses were dispatched, and the people began to "hand over their spoils of war", and the children of the Shi clan were handed over to the government, with more than 20,000 men and women, totaling more than 46,000 people, including the Shi clan and the family members who directly participated in the rebellion, as well as the family members who protected the Shi family.

This is only the number of people in the Chengdu area, Brazil, Bajun, Yubei, Fuling, Hanzhong, Shangyong, and the number of rebellious clans exceeds 100,000 people.

The government fulfilled its promise, appointed the people as pavilion chiefs and township chiefs according to their merits, and handed over the land of the clan to the people, and many tenant farmers and long-term laborers obtained land, and it was land with crops directly above.

The people were overjoyed, cherishing the property they had gotten in their hands, for fear that a bad yield would be taken back by the government, and they took care of the crops carefully.

The shops of the rebellious clans, after checking the account books and sorting out the business, handed over to the relevant workshops for direct management and became the direct stores of the government.

The local civil officials who did not rebel selected the best to enter the pastoral mansion, Dong He served as the chief secretary, Gong Zhi served as the third Cao Changshi, and the liberal arts candidates for the spring examination enriched the place.

The non-rebellious clans are in the minority, and almost all of them are the clans that have slowly tasted the sweetness of commerce in the past two years, and under Liu Zhang's new policy, it is impossible for them to return to the era of traditional clans.

These clans began to transform, no longer keen on expanding land, focusing on commerce, Brazil Huang family, Qu family, Chengdu Wu family, Yin family, Jin family, assets began to turn to business in large numbers.

After the defeat of the original clans, there were many gaps in the market, and these clans not only built workshops and opened shops to fill the gaps, but also bought a large number of shops left behind by the rebellious clans from the government at low prices.

They are transitioning from the traditional family to the merchant aristocracy.

Since then, the influence of the traditional clan in the land of Yizhou has basically collapsed, except for the newly appointed officials who are not very familiar with the business, Yizhou has shown a new look, which is completely different from the monopoly situation of the clan in other states, showing a strong vitality.

But. After this large-scale rebellion, which spread almost all over Yizhou, Yizhou has been riddled with holes, its economy has stagnated, and people's livelihoods have withered.

Huang Quan collected statistical books from all over the country and reported the losses to Liu Zhang one by one. Hearing this, Liu Zhang's brows furrowed.

This war wiped out the grain in Yizhou, abandoned agriculture and commerce, especially Chengdu, and caused great chaos and immeasurable losses.

"My lord, in addition to these, there is some good news." Seeing Liu Zhang's frowning, Huang Quan reluctantly smiled and said, "This time we will take the Shi clan into custody. The confiscation of property is immeasurable, and the food of the clan is incalculable, except for the purpose of rebuilding and maintaining order, I am afraid that within three years, as long as there is no war. You don't have to worry about food and money. ”

Liu Zhang smiled bitterly: "Is this good news?" ”

Huang Quan was silent.

Liu Zhang and Huang Quan both know that the government's tax revenue comes from the people, and only by hiding the wealth from the people can there be a steady stream of tax revenue. Now that he has taken the world's family, it cannot be ruled out that many worldly families are hoarding and have thousands of family wealth.

But in the past, the family was also a large tax payer. It was useful to coordinate agriculture, and now it is so common that it is foreseeable that within five years, without major innovations, it will not be possible to raise taxes as they were before the rebellion.

It's called fishing with all your might.

But since it has been done, Liu Zhang will not regret it, but he is worried about what Huang Quan said, there will be no war within three years, and there are still four years left in the five-year internal affairs set by Huang Yueying, Liu Zhang really doesn't want to have a war within three years.

At this moment, a soldier came in and bowed to Liu Zhang: "Lord, the northwest is urgent." ”

Liu Zhang frowned, it seems that he is thinking what he wants, but what he thinks is usually not a good thing.

"Speak."

"There has been a great change in the Qiang Rong in the northwest, the leader of Tsing Yi Qiang wants to negotiate with Wu Ban Taishou about the land in the middle, but he was intercepted and killed halfway, and the killer left my Han weapons, and the pro-Ma Teng Xian Lingqiang leader framed Wu Ban Taishou to kill people, and took the opportunity to provoke the Qiang people to rebel, colluded with Ma Teng Han Sui, and threatened that if we don't give an explanation, we will retaliate against our Shuzhong, and now we are gathering troops."

"How can it be?" Liu Zhang said coldly: "Don't say that Wu Ban didn't kill the leader of Tsing Yi, he did, and Wu Ban didn't invite him here, what explanation do you want to give?"

The Qiang people have always been attached to our Han Dynasty, but they invaded our Han land, and now they want to ask Ben Hou for an explanation, and pass on the order, Wu Ban's 50,000 troops will guard Hanzhong, Shangyong Yang Ren, and Brazil Liu Bi are all subject to their control, and do not let the Qiang people and the Xiliang army step into a step. ”

"Yes." The soldier took the order and left.

Huang Quan said worriedly: "My lord, the Qiang people and Ma Teng Han Sui jointly rebelled, and the number of troops will not be less, at least more than 100,000." ”

Liu Zhang also frowned, such a huge number is definitely a major threat, and the sudden occurrence of the killing of the leader of the Qiang in Tsing Yi, Liu Zhang always felt strange, could it be instigated by Cao Cao, Cao Cao is far away in Yecheng, and he can't attack directly, so he instigates the Qiang people, it is very likely.

By the way, there is also a Liu Bei, he almost forgot about this big ear, his subordinates Zhuge Liang Pang Tong, but they are not good characters, this time in Shuzhong chaos, how can they not pick up the cheap?

However, no matter who instigates it, it doesn't matter, the important thing is to solve it yourself.

At the beginning, Huang Yueying said that the accident came faster than tomorrow, but it was too fast, and it was raining heavily before dawn.

"Don't worry." Liu Zhang said to Huang Quan: "The terrain in Hanzhong is dangerous, although the Xiliang Cavalry and the Qiang Cavalry are the best riders in the world, but the mountains are dangerous, can their horses fly?"

What's more, I don't think the Qiang people will attack for the time being, the Qiang people live in pursuit of water and grass, it is summer now, they come to fight in the summer, there is no grazing, if they can't win, what will they eat in winter? I don't believe they are so bold, I expect them to go south in late autumn, when we also harvest, and the four examinations are finished, and then I will go and clean them up. ”

Huang Quan nodded silently, feeling very uncomfortable, as soon as the soldiers and horses moved, there were countless losses of grain, grass, gold and silver.

Huang Quan is also a person who understands soldiers, and the most important thing is that now the Sichuan army is powerless to attack, and the initiative will always be in the hands of the Qiang people and Ma Teng.

Liu Zhang also saw Huang Quan's doubts, Huang Quan's doubts were not his own doubts, but he had no other way but to block them.

Thinking of this, Liu Zhang also felt that the future was worrisome, you know. His ultimate opponent is not the Qiang people, not Ma Teng, but Cao Cao, if Yizhou Jingzhou can't recover quickly, what will he use to fight Cao Cao at that time?

"By the way, how is Jingzhou?" It's been more than ten days since I came back, and there has been no news from Jingzhou. Just then a soldier entered.

"Report to the lord, Jingzhou military report, great victory."

Liu Zhang was overjoyed, "Read." ”

"Jingzhou, Cai Mao and other Jingbei clans, Jin Xuan and other Jingnan officials and people have rebelled, Jiangdong Zhou Yu Lu Meng, led an army of 30,000, tens of thousands of troops to attack Jiangling. The Huang Army's division dug the water of the Fourteen Lakes and flooded Jiangling, the enemy army was annihilated, and Zhou Yu and Lü Meng fled alone.

Huang Zu, the deputy governor of the navy, asked Zhou Yu and Lu Meng to smuggle across the river. Later, he wanted to surrender to Sun Quan, but was beheaded by the general Su Fei, and all the troops belonged to Su Fei, and Su Fei was ordered by Wei Wen Dadu. Surrendered Huang Gai by fraud, defeated Huang Gai Cheng Pu and other Jiangdong naval forces on the water, and the Jiangdong naval army was defeated and returned. More than 20,000 soldiers fled into the lake.

Cai Mao was defeated by Zhou Yu in Jiangling, and continued to rebel in Jingbei, the news of the lord's return to Chengdu arrived, and the people of Xiangfan were settled, and the general Fan Lixiang led 10,000 soldiers and horses to defeat the rebels and capture the Xiangfan rebel clan. ”

Liu Zhang's joy disappeared.

Hearing the news of the Jiangling flood, Huang Quan and Liu Zhang glanced at each other, and both showed shocked expressions, Jiangling, this is known to everyone, the second largest city in Jingzhou, similar to Hanzhong, how many people are there?

Liu Zhang doesn't know how to feel now, on the one hand, he feels that Huang Yueying is ruthless and decisive enough, in this way, it saves the arrest of the clan, when Wei Yan attacked Jiangling, leaving a complete city, the Jiangling clan was unharmed, it has always been the most unstable factor in Jingzhou, and now it is good, it is a hundred.

However, it was still difficult for Liu Zhang to accept the flooding of hundreds of thousands of people at once, such a thing only happened during the Five Dynasties, the most immoral and shameless period in Chinese history, when the river embankment was dug at every turn, flooding the entire city, causing hundreds of deaths and displacements.

"Okay, got it, you go down."

Although Liu Zhang can't fully agree with Huang Yueying's approach, he has no right to blame her, in her situation, only doing so is the most rational.

"Huang Junshi also asked me to bring a letter to the lord, saying that only when the lord reads the letter and gives an order, can the little one return to life."

The soldier handed over a letter, and Liu Zhang took it and opened it.

"My lord.

The Lord is safe, and Yueying is very happy. However, the lord must be unhappy when he learns about Jiangling, please forgive me, Yueying has some suggestions on this matter, but before that, as a military advisor, let's talk about the current situation of Jing Yi.

Now the lord must be worried about Jing Yi's recovery, Jing Yi's rebellion, the spread is widespread, after the lord returns to Chengdu, the situation will be stable, but it can not be completely calm in a short time, Jing Yi is full of devastation, the economy is sluggish, it is indeed a great threat to the lord's great cause.

But Yueying asked the lord not to worry, this is an excellent opportunity, it is an opportunity for us to realize the strategy we originally formulated in Xiangyang, please seize this opportunity to uproot the clan, and win over the merchants and people, so that although the economic loss is not small, but Yizhou will be more stable and more loyal, after many years, it is the foundation of the lord's indefatigability.

Jingzhou's subordinates and Fan Lixiang will do the same, if we succeed in turning the main body of Jingyi and the two states into merchants and common people, then our Jingyi is incompatible with other states and counties, and it is difficult for us to attack it, but it is also difficult for Cao Cao and Sun Quan to attack it.

In addition, the Cai family's rebellion, the whole clan participated, only one person surprised his subordinates, Cai Wei before the Cai rebellion, had reported to his subordinates, Cai Wei did not participate in the rebellion, Yueying intended to give her a righteous merit for killing her relatives, please pardon the lord.

As for what to do after the Cai family was destroyed, it was up to her to decide what to do with Cai Huan.

In the battle of Jiangling, there are two people who need to be mentioned, the first is Zhou Tai, who is now serving the lord and asks the lord to seal it, and the other is Zhou Yu.

When Su Fei and various sailors besieged the Jiangdong Navy, they deliberately did not kill Zhou Yu and Lu Meng, because Yueying did not want the lord and Jiangdong to have a life-and-death feud.

It is true that Zhou Yu is wise. Moreover, it is the main battle faction in Jiangdong, and it is a great threat to the lord, but once we kill Zhou Yu, we will definitely arouse the hatred of all the generals in Jiangdong, so that the war between Jiangdong and Jingzhou will not stop.

Jiangdong lost 50,000 soldiers this time, and his vitality was greatly damaged, and his subordinates had ordered Wei Wen to attack Chaisang, if it was not for the mortal enemy, Yueying expected that Sun Quan would send someone to ask for peace with the lord.

Because the Jiangdong moderates are far more than the main battle faction, and their power is far greater than the main battle faction, if they are given a step, they will not only rejoice, but also Zhou Yu will be defeated, and they will definitely remove Zhou Yu from his official position.

Although Jiangdong has a grudge against the lord, after Jiangdong's vitality is greatly damaged, if the Jingzhou soldiers go eastward, they may also take Jiangdong, but this is extremely unwise.

First, we Jingyi had just experienced a rebellion and needed to recuperate, so we were not suitable for an expedition.

Second, the moderates in Jiangdong are all conservatives, and if they see the hope of victory, they will definitely resist us desperately, especially the Jiangdong clan, if we go, they will do everything to resist, and we will encounter great resistance.

Third, Jiangdong is a place where the clan is intertwined, and it is more difficult to rule than Jingzhou, and even if it is defeated, it can only become a burden to the lord.

This is the reason why the subordinates let Zhou Yu go, and the subordinates asked the lord to agree to Sun Quan's peace, before our power is weaker than Cao Cao, Jiangdong will become our loyal ally, and share the pressure of the north for us, we still follow the strategy formulated before, march into Liangzhou.

Finally, talking about the battle of Jiangling, his subordinates asked the lord to remove Yueying from his post as a military division, remove all official positions in Jingzhou, confiscate family property, and order the Huang family to pay to appease the Jiangling refugees.

As for the details, please be the main public Fan Lixiang as the pastor of Jingzhou, Fan Lixiang is the popular person in Jingzhou, with her in charge, she will be able to stabilize the situation as soon as possible, and all the orders to denounce Yueying, and the orders ordering the Huang family to appease the displaced people, were read out by Fan Lixiang in public.

Yueying's sinful body, so that he can return the people to an explanation, keep the image of the Sichuan army, and strengthen Fan Lixiang's prestige, please don't favor Yueying, although Yueying is white, she is also willing to follow Wei Yan and seek the opportunity to continue to serve the lord.

Qianchuan Army Division Jingzhou Mu Huang Yueying worshipped. (To be continued.) )
