The time gradually came to the end of September, as the southeast wind time became less and less, the Han army of 80,000 troops finally embarked on the way home, Liu Jing made the final personnel arrangements, appointed Xun Zhi as the imperial history of Yangzhou, inspected the counties of Jiangzuo, and appointed Gan Ning as the governor of Jiangdong, led 20,000 troops and 500 warships to garrison Jiangdong, Liu Hu was the governor of Huainan, and led 30,000 troops to garrison Hefei and Shouchun line.

On the 5,000-stone boat, Liu Jing stood on the side of the boat and stared at the southeast bank of the river in the distance, the green hills in the distance were faint, the large rice fields had gradually matured, and there was curling smoke in more than a dozen farmhouses, and a group of children waved to the fleet on the shore, Liu Jing couldn't help but smile and waved to the children on the shore.

At this time, Lu Xun slowly walked to Liu Jing's side and said with a smile: "This scene is very gratifying!" ”

"Indeed!"

Liu Jing nodded and said: "When I went north from Wu County, there were ten rooms and nine emptiness, and that feeling was very uncomfortable, but here I saw the smoke and the smiling children, and my mood was slightly better." ”

Lu Xun did not enter politics, but continued to serve in the military, he is now serving as a military sacrifice wine, is also second only to the military division of the army senior officials, because the Jiangdong Army has basically been disbanded, Jiangdong generals such as Lu Meng, Xu Sheng, Jiang Qin, Ding Feng, Zhu Heng, Dong Xi and others have joined the Han army, was named a partial general, Zhonglang general and other positions, plus knighthood, followed the Han army to the west.

Even Ling Tong, the general who had always been hostile to Liu Jing for his father's hatred, finally gave up the hatred in his heart, was appointed by Liu Jing as a partial general, added the title of Pavilion Marquis, and followed Liu Hu to guard Hefei.

Lu Xun stared at the south and said with a faint smile: "Your Highness's next target should be Jiaozhou!" ”

Liu Jing smiled, "It's windy here, let's go into the cabin and talk!" ”

Lu Xun followed Liu Jing into the meeting room, the two sat down, a tea boy served them hot tea, Liu Jing took a sip of tea, and then said slowly: "Frankly speaking, I haven't made up my mind about whether to attack Jiaozhou, according to my original idea, Jiaozhou is sparsely populated, and the transportation is inconvenient, it is difficult for Liu Bei to become a climate in Jiaozhou, so I can simply put him in the seat and let him pass through Jiaozhou for me first, but according to the information I recently obtained, Liu Bei's army has recovered to 30,000 people, which really surprised me, you must know that after Liu Bei's army went on a northern expedition three years ago, The army suffered heavy losses, less than 10,000, and with the small number of people in Jiaozhou, it was restored to 30,000 troops in just three years, and the people's hearts were stable, and they did not fish as hard as Jiangdong, which made me puzzled. ”

Lu Xun smiled slightly: "I have a clansman named Lu Cheng, he has been living in Jiaozhou, at the beginning of the year back to Wu County to worship ancestors, I had a deep conversation with him, and I also know a little about the situation in Jiaozhou, if His Royal Highness does not think I am verbose, I am willing to say a few more words with His Royal Highness." ”

"When did Bo Yan become so modest?" Liu Jing laughed,

Lu Xun also laughed a little embarrassedly, "To be a subordinate, you must have the consciousness of a subordinate, and it is already an honor for Bo Yan to sit opposite the lord, and you can't be without self-knowledge." ”

Liu Jing nodded, "Bo Yan, please speak!" ”

Lu Xun sorted out his thoughts and said: "The reason why Jiaozhou's military strength can be quickly restored is that Zhuge Liang implemented the tunpu joint military system, Zhuge Liang has implemented the tunbao system in Jiaozhou over the years, gathering all the households to live in high places, building fort walls and walls, strengthening the status of elders, all men gather together to train in the slack time, each tunbao has a tun chief, and ten tunbao has military marquis, regular joint drills, and every household has weapons and armor, which is called to protect the homeland, but in fact it is a soldier for the whole people. ”

"How can we guarantee food supplies?" Liu Jing asked again.

"This is Zhuge Liang's cleverness, every household in Jiaozhou has its own land, in addition, there are fort fields and official fields, and the people's fields are close together, usually by the people together with the official fields to cultivate, even if they serve the conscription, and the grain of the fort field and the official field are handed over to the government, the grain of the fort field is used for the military food during the war, and the grain of the official field is used for the daily expenses of the government, Zhuge Liang also rewards the cultivation war, and joins the formal army is exempt from paying taxes together, and joining the Tunpu coalition army is reduced by half, and at the same time the implementation of the fifteen taxes and one high field tax, In this way, it greatly encouraged Jiaozhou to join the army or join the Tunpu joint army, and it is reasonable that the Jiaozhou army was able to recover quickly. ”

"Isn't this the Ida system?"

"The essence is the Ida system, but the form is different."

Liu Jing pondered for a moment and asked, "You mean to say that the Jiaozhou army is actually more than 30,000 people?" ”

Lu Xun nodded, "The 30,000 army is just a formal army, and there are more than 100,000 tunbao joint soldiers, once the war starts, Jiaozhou will be all soldiers, plus Jiaozhou has a hot climate and miasma, for the Han army, Jiaozhou is not easy to fight!" ”

Liu Jing couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and then Lu Xun said slowly: "Your Highness, although Jiaozhou is difficult to attack, it is not unbreakable, as long as you attack the weakness of Jiaozhou, you can greatly weaken the strength of Jiaozhou. ”

Liu Jing was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Boyan, please speak!" ”

"The first policy is to cut off the cooking policy, there is no iron ore in Jiaozhou, and iron ore must be bought from Jiangdong at a high price every year, many important ministers in Jiangdong were opposed to selling iron ore to Jiaozhou, but Wu Hou in order to raise military expenses, or acquiesced to the transaction, so His Royal Highness's top priority is to cut off the pig iron trade and leather trade with Jiaozhou, and a qiē military resources must be banned from entering Jiaozhou, and those who dare to smuggle will be severely punished."

Liu Jing nodded, "The Han side has already stopped trade with Jiaozhou, and Jiangdong must also strictly prohibit it, I will first order all counties in Jiangdong to strictly investigate, and then formulate laws to implement after I go back." ”

Lu Xun said: "The second policy is to draw salary, Jiaozhou is sparsely populated, because of heavy taxes, many Jiangdong people have fled to Jiaozhou, I heard my brother say, Jiangdong people are not used to the climate and soil of Jiaozhou, as long as His Royal Highness sends someone to tell Jiangdong's light and thin endowment, I believe that the Jiangdong people who fled to Jiaozhou will come back one after another, and not everyone likes the Tunpu joint military system, I believe that there will be many Jiaozhou people will also leave Tunpu one after another, return to Jingzhou or Jiangdong, population is the foundation of Jiaozhou, as long as the population is weakened, Jiaozhou's strength will naturally decline. ”

Liu Jing groaned, "I'm afraid that Jiaozhou will block the return of the population, I don't think Liu Bei will sit idly by." ”

Lu Xun smiled, "Of course Liu Bei will stop it, but if people are in their hearts, how can he stop it?" If he goes against the will of the people, it will only cause turmoil and instability in Jiaozhou, His Highness does not have to worry, as long as His Highness does a good job of receiving and pacifying the border counties, there will continue to be people who will leave Jiaozhou and return to the north. ”

Liu Jing paced slowly in the cabin with his hands in his hands, although he knew that Lu Xun was right, this was indeed a way to weaken Jiaozhou, but in the long run, he didn't want this kind of thing to happen, he didn't want the Han people to leave Jiaozhou and return to the north, which would be harmful to the future of Jiaozhou, but if it did not weaken the population of Jiaozhou, it would increase the difficulty of the Han army's southern expedition, which really made it a bit difficult for Liu Jing to make decisions.

"Does Your Highness think it's inappropriate to draw salaries?" Lu Xun saw Liu Jing's hesitation.

Liu Jing nodded, "The population flows out, and it will be difficult to let them go back." ”

Lu Xun suddenly understood Liu Jing's intentions, he was a little ashamed in his heart, he only thought of weakening Jiaozhou, but he forgot about the plan for a hundred years, Lu Xun said again: "If Your Highness thinks it is inappropriate, then let it be, no need to deliberately guide, but the third strategy of the humble position may interest His Highness." ”

Liu Jing looked back and smiled: "Tell me, what is the third strategy?" ”

At the same time that the main force of the Han army returned to Jingzhou, a major case also broke out in the capital of Ye, which was caused by a literati gathering in Zhangshui, and someone wrote the poem "Linshui old dynasty, He Riqing Jun's side", which was exposed.

Cao Pi was extremely angry and ordered a strict investigation of the matter, and it turned out that the poet was called Wei Wei, who was a very famous talent in Peiguo, and had a very good relationship with Chen Lin.

Cao Pi felt that the situation was strict, and reported to his father, Cao Cao approved the words 'strict investigation to the end', Cao Pi sent Chen Lin to prison for examination, and sent someone to raid his mansion, the case slowly became bigger, the seven sons of Jian'an except for Kong Rong's early death, the remaining six people, including Chen Lin, Wang Ji, Liu Zhen, Ying Ling, Xu Gan, and Ruan Yu, were all involved in this big case, under the strict interrogation of the cool officials, more and more officials were involved in this 'fornication Han case', Ye was panicked, and everyone was in danger.

In the southwest of Yedu City, there is a mansion covering an area of about 20 acres, which is the mansion of the former military division Zhong Xuan, and there are currently three major military divisions in Cao's army, namely the former military division Zhong Xuan, the middle army division Cheng Yu and the rear military division Liu Ye, all of whom are Cao Cao's trusted strategists.

Zhong Xuan is even more qualified, long-term as the captain of the school, operating Guanzhong, for Guanzhong to restore the vitality of the great contribution, plus his calligraphy is very famous, especially by Cao Cao appreciated, entrusted to reuse.

In the dispute between the princes of the Wei State, Zhong Xuan belonged to the faction that supported Cao Zhi, and together with Sima Lang and Sikong Cui Lin, he became the most powerful supporters of Cao Zhi's struggle for the prince.

Although Zhong Xuan is over 60 years old, he is healthy, energetic, and his body is as strong as in the prime of life.

Early in the morning, Zhong Miao was practicing swords in the back garden, and the old housekeeper walked quickly to report: "Master, Cui Sangongzi has something important to see!" ”

Zhong Miao knew that the third son of Cui said by the housekeeper should be Cui Xin, the son of Cui Lin, who came to him so early, what happened? He groaned for a while and said, "Please wait in my outer study, and I'll change my clothes and come!" ”

Zhong Miao went back to the room to change his clothes, but he was thinking about what happened recently, Jian'an's seventh son was arrested, this is no accident, this should be Cao Pi taking the opportunity to purge Cao Zhi's forces, Cui Lin asked his son to come to him, it must be for this matter.

Cui Lin was demoted to a commoner in the last Yang Cui case, and then he was reused as Guozicheng, in charge of Wei education, did he have an accident again?

Zhong Miao walked quickly to the outer study, and as soon as he walked into the room, Cui Xin knelt down and cried: "Please Uncle Shi to save my father's life!" ”

Zhong Xuan hurriedly helped him up and asked, "Don't panic first, tell me what happened?" ”

"Uncle Qi, as soon as the day dawned, there was an army surrounding Cui's mansion, put my father under house arrest, and began to search the mansion, I was not in the mansion last night, so I escaped, I heard the family who escaped from the mansion said, the soldiers searched my father's study, all kinds of letters and documents packed into three large boxes, and threatened to put my father in prison for strict interrogation, poor father is old, where can he withstand such torture, the younger generation is worried about his father's safety, and begged Uncle Shi to save his life."

Zhong Miao was taken aback, and then he was angry, Cao Pi was simply too much, now it's Cui Lin, isn't the next one himself?

He immediately said to Cui Xin: "Don't worry, nephew, I'll go to Tongquetai to show Duke Wei and save your father!" ”
