In the early morning, an extremely spectacular scene appeared again on the river outside Jianye City, and more than 1,500 warships were moored all over the river, stretching for dozens of miles, as if even the river surface was covered.

A feeble bell rang on the head of Jianye City, and countless soldiers silently watched the spectacular scene on the river, and many people realized that after Wu County had been conquered by the Han army, the Han army fleet appeared on the river again, which meant the coming of the Jianye War.

The soldiers' guesses were not wrong, the 80,000 Han troops had advanced towards Jianye City from two directions, and began to tighten the last noose around Jiangdong's neck, and ten days ago, the 30,000 Han troops led by the general Liu Hu arrived in Hefei on foot from Jiangxia, and stationed troops on the front line of the Huai River to prevent Cao's army from attacking Hefei at a critical moment, thus thwarting the Han army's strategy of capturing Jiangdong.

The Han army on the river is only a part, and the other 30,000 Han troops have been killed from Jingkou and are about to arrive in Jianye City.

In the afternoon, the 30,000-foot cavalry Han army, led by the veteran Huang Zhong and the generals Pang De and Wei Yan, arrived at Jianye City, and set up a large camp about five miles away from Jianye City, waiting for the order of Liu Jing, the king of Han.

Jianye is actually composed of two cities, a military and political city, that is, Jianye City, there are only military camps, official offices and Jianye Palace in the city, there are no private houses and commerce, about three miles south of Jianye City is Moling County, gathering more than 200,000 people, all the officials' residences are located in Moling County.

This made the defense of the Jiangdong army suffered great difficulties, they had to protect the Jianye City, but also to keep Moling County, and the strength was not much, there were originally 20,000 troops, after Ding Feng took away 3,000 people, only 17,000 people remained, of which 7,000 people were stationed in Moling County, led by Changshi Buqi, and 10,000 troops defended Jianye City, which was personally led by Sun Quan.

At the same time that Huang Zhong led an army of 30,000 to the east of Jianye City, the warships of the Han army in the Yangtze River also docked one by one, and another 50,000 Han troops landed at the Jianye Cargo Wharf under the leadership of Gan Ning, the governor of the navy.

The 50,000 army led by Gan Ning was deployed to the west of Jianye City, echoing the army of Huang Zhong in the east.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Liu Jing stood alone in front of the sand table and pondered, if it was just for the war, there would be no suspense in this war to destroy Jiangdong, the Han army had gathered 130,000 troops in Jiangdong and its surroundings, and Jianye had less than 20,000 people.

And the Han army currently has nearly 400,000 stone military rations, which is enough to support the Han army for more than half a year, whether it is the number of troops or the number of military rations, it is enough to support the Han army to end this war soon, but Liu Jing is thinking about what to do after the war is over?

Although Sun Quan excessively oppressed the people of Jiangdong in order to expand the armament war, causing him to destroy the Great Wall and lose the support of the Jiangdong people, it did not mean that the Han army would be welcomed by the people of Jiangdong.

Of course, the Jiangdong people have not experienced many rulers, they have not yet experienced the rule of the Han State, and they cannot compare the Han State with Sun Quan, so most people have a skeptical attitude towards the arrival of the Han State, but they are not excluded, and the Jiangdong people are more welcoming to the Han Army for their antipathy to the Cao Army, which is also directly related to his Liu Jing's kindness to Jiangdong prisoners of war for many years.

Liu Jing thought more about how to deal with Sun Quan at this time, Liu Jing hoped that Sun Quan could surrender to the Han State, so that the civilian generals would also surrender, which would be conducive to the stability of Jiangdong after the war, but how would Sun Quan be settled?

Just when Liu Jing was silent in thought, a guard reported at the door of the tent: "Your Highness Qiqi, there are more than 20 Danyang County officials asking to see outside the camp. ”

Liu Jing was stunned, where did the officials come from, but he immediately reacted, this must be the officials of the counties of Danyang County, which is also a loophole for the Han army to attack Jiangdong, occupying Biling and Wu County, but leaving Danyang County out.

Jianye is only a city in Danyang County, and Danyang County has a vast area, west to Wankou, east to Jurong, east to west for nearly 2,000 miles, under the jurisdiction of more than 20 counties, more than 400,000 people, is the most populous in the whole Jiangdong, but also the richest county.

The Han army attacked Jianye with all its might, but Danyang County was missed, Liu Jing smiled and nodded, "Take them to the side tent to meet!" "He really needs to reassure these officials.

In a moment, more than 20 magistrates of Danyang County were brought to the side tent, most of these magistrates were county commanders of various counties in Danyang County, and were uniformly convened by Zhou Yi of Danyang County, Zhou Yi was a native of Wu County, with a brave personality and good at strategy, he was originally Guangling Taishou, after Gan Ning annihilated the Cao army led by Yu Ban in Jiangbei, the Han army occupied Guangling County, and Zhou Yi withdrew from Jianye and was demoted to Danyang County.

Zhou Yi belongs to the Wu Yue faction in Jiangdong officialdom, and the Zhou family is also one of the famous families in Wu County, especially with the Gu family, half a month ago, the main fleet of the Han army arrived in Jianye, Zhou Yi knew that the general trend of Jiangdong had gone, and he secretly sent people to contact the county orders of Danyang counties, ready to respond to the Han army.

He was originally worried that there would be a county order to betray him, but the result was beyond his expectations, and all the county orders in the twenty-two counties of Danyang expressed their willingness to surrender to the Han State. This also shows that everyone has no confidence in Jiangdong.

Zhou Yi took the county officials to follow the military advisor Liao Li and the main bookkeeper Yin Zheng into the side tent, the side tent covers an area of one acre, quite spacious, everyone sat down in a circle, Liao Li smiled at everyone: "Everyone please sit down, His Royal Highness will be here soon." ”

Zhou Yi sat down and asked, "I don't know what the situation is in Wu County?" ”

Zhou Yi is a native of Wu County, his wife, children, parents and the entire family are in Wu County, and now the situation in the entire Wu County is unknown, which really makes him a little worried, Liao Li understands Zhou Yi's worries, and said to him with a smile: "Zhou Envoy Jun don't have to worry, Zhu Heng of Wu County surrendered to the Han army and also saved Wu County, Wu County civilians did not kill or injured a single person, and the Zhou family was safe." ”

Zhou Yi suddenly put down his heart and thanked him: "Thank you for the military advisor's solution." ”

At this time, a soldier outside the tent shouted: "His Royal Highness the King of Han has arrived!" ”

Everyone stood up one after another, only to see Liu Jing, the king of Han, walking quickly into the big tent under the escort of several personal guards, and everyone bowed down together, "See His Royal Highness the King of Han!" ”

Liu Jing smiled and waved his hand, "Everyone, please excuse me!" ”

At this time, Liu Jing saw Zhou Yi and smiled at him: "Zhou Yuanjun is also here, we haven't seen each other for several years." ”

Zhou Yi saw that Liu Jing still knew him, he was moved in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Your Royal Highness married Princess Shangxiang back then, and she was the master of ceremonies made by Weichen, I don't know how Princess Shangxiang is now?" ”

"She's very good, she will come to Jiangdong in a while, everyone can meet her."

When everyone heard that the princess Shangxiang was going to come back, they couldn't help but talk about it, and Zhou Yi also secretly admired Liu Jingzheng's skill, to stabilize Jiangdong, it still needs the help of the Sun family, if Princess Shangxiang is willing to come forward to appease, it will inevitably greatly alleviate the resistance of the Jiangdong military and civilians.

At this time, Zhou Yi introduced everyone one by one for Liu Jing, although these are all county officials, but Liu Jing did not despise them at all, if he wants to stabilize Jiangdong, the key is to rely on these county orders, they are the main officials who deal with civilians.

Liu Jing patiently met with everyone one by one, and finally smiled: "Everyone, please sit down!" ”

Everyone sat down again, Liu Jing smiled at everyone: "As the saying goes, the state official is not as good as the county official, and the county official is not as good as the current management, although I also know Jiangdong, but I definitely don't have a deeper understanding than you, take this opportunity, I want to hear everyone's opinions, what do you think, or what doubts, although speak freely, don't have any worries." ”

Zhou Yi also said: "It is rare for His Highness to meet you, and it is a rare opportunity, although everyone asks bluntly." ”

Everyone has too many doubts in their hearts, everyone sees that the Han King has a kind attitude and an amiable smile, and the fear in his heart is gradually eliminated, and a middle-aged official next to him bows and says: "The next official is Zhang Qin, the commander of Wanling County, the main problem in our county is that there are too many fugitives, nearly half of the people have fled to Jingzhou or Yuzhang, Jiujiang and other counties, please ask Your Highness, will the fugitives be sent back to their hometowns in the future?" ”

This is also one of the problems that everyone is most concerned about, the fugitives are commonplace, every county suffers, there is no population and no taxes, there is no performance, it is difficult to be promoted, and even unable to feed the staff, this is a very real problem.

Liu Jing nodded and said: "The most troublesome thing for the Xiangguo of the Han State in the past two years is to settle the fugitives, and even resettled the fugitives from Wu County to Lingzhou, they are all willing to go to the frontier and stay happily, the reason is very simple, there is no tax to reclaim the frontier, and there is a large piece of land of their own, if they don't want to come back, I can't send them back, so to speak!" Every county is facing a population shortage, and you want the fugitives to come back, while the receiving counties want them to settle down, it's not a good balance! So I think it's better to reassure the existing residents and stop fleeing than expecting the fugitives from Jingzhou or Guanzhong to come back, which is the key. ”

Everyone's faces showed a look of disappointment, the king of Han made it very clear that he would not repatriate the fugitives, Liu Jing saw the disappointment on everyone's faces, and continued: "My attitude needs to be clear, for the fugitives, I will give a three-year transition period, within three years the fugitives can return to their original places in Jiangdong, or they can stay in Jingzhou or the north, a qiē by the fugitives to choose freely, I want to return to the roots, many people are willing to return to their hometowns, as long as everyone is lenient with the people, and earnestly implement various recuperation measures in the Han Kingdom, At least half of the fugitives will return home. ”

Liu Jing's words made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, especially when half of the fugitives returned to their hometowns, which was a statement, indicating that the King of Han wanted to balance the interests of all parties, at least taking into account the interests of Jiangdong.

At this time, a thin and tall official got up and saluted again: "The lower official is Cheng Luojun of Huai'an County, our county order has been sealed and resigned for half a year, and the current affairs in the county are all in charge of the lower officials, the matter is not only heavy, but also complicated, the lower officials know that military service and excessive taxes are the root cause of the fugitives in Jiangdong, to be honest, we don't want to be scolded by the villagers pointing at the backbone, I want to ask Your Highness, this year or next year, what kind of changes will be made in Jiangdong's taxes?" ”

This was also the focus of everyone's attention, and everyone couldn't help but sit up straight and prick up their ears, for fear of missing King Han's reply.

Liu Jing smiled slightly: "In fact, not only Jiangdong, the Han army will reduce taxes and taxes every time it recovers a place, the Han Dynasty has been in turmoil for a long time, the people are eager for reunification, eager to live and work in peace and contentment, and no longer suffer from the war, so my fundamental strategy is to use thirty years to recuperate, this long-term strategy, and for the short term, generally speaking, one exemption and two halves are implemented, that is, the first year is exempt from taxes, the second year and the third year are halved, and the fourth year is normally taxed, even tax-free, Koto is the same. ”

After a pause, Liu Jing smiled at Luo Xiancheng again: "Since the county magistrate has resigned for half a year, then from now on, I will officially appoint you as the county magistrate of Huai'an County!" ”

As soon as this remark came out, not only did this Luo County Cheng be overjoyed, but all the county officials were overjoyed, and the King of Han officially stated that the Han Kingdom would destroy Jiangdong and would not remove them from their official positions.
