Chapter 1696: Return to Luoyang early tomorrow morning
The people seated in the hall were all civil servants and military generals under Liu Wei.
As the Jiangdong general who served Liu Wei earlier, Zhou Yu was also present, but Lu Xun, who defected to the imperial court after the defeat of the Jiangdong naval army, was left out of the periphery and did not participate in the court discussion.
Looking around at the crowd, Liu Wei said to them: "I thought that Jiangdong would take more than half a year to break through, but our army was on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and it only took a few days to successfully cross the river, and Sun Quan was forced to sacrifice Jiangdong. Now the plan is how to stabilize Jiangdong, and everyone thinks that the imperial court should do? ”
"Your Majesty!" As soon as Liu Wei's words fell, Pang Tong stood up, clasped his fists and said to him: "Jiangdong Sun, it may not be enough to conquer the world, but it is a achievement in governing Jiangdong. Although Jianye City is not as prosperous as Luoyang, there are also quite a lot of foreign businessmen. Jiangdong land, Your Majesty does not need too many changes, only needs to allocate land and hand it over to the people to cultivate! ”
Nodding, Liu Wei also agreed with Pang Tong's opinion.
Entering Jiangdong, he had already discovered the difference between this place and Jingzhou.
Liu Biao was a generous person, and he was often not tough enough in governing Jingzhou, and many local officials even dared to bully the master, and there were many injustices in Jingzhou.
After Pang Tong and others forced Cai to cede Jingzhou, it took a lot of effort to rectify the officialdom.
Pang Tong rectified many local grievances day after day, and it was also because of these things that the Han army that entered Jingzhou did not cross the river for a long time.
However, when he arrived in Jiangdong, where he passed, the cities that Liu Wei saw were all thriving, although the Han army passed by, many Jiangdong people did not dare to go out, and the city seemed very empty.
From the layout and construction of the city, Liu Wei can still see that when the army has not arrived, these places should be very rich.
Fortunately, the Han army has always been fighting, and there is no crime against the people, except for the original expedition to the Xiongnu, in order to let the Huns know the pain brought by the captivity of the Han people to the Han people, Liu Wei connived at the soldiers to burn and loot, and then even if they conquered the Wuhuan, the leading generals were also to restrain the officers and soldiers and not to harass the place.
The discipline of the Han army not only made the people of Jiangdong where they passed quickly recognize them, but now Liu Wei wants to rebuild Jiangdong, and it doesn't take much energy.
There are local heroes everywhere, and each of these heroes has a lot of land.
Liu Wei did not forcibly expropriate all of Haoqiang's land, and most of the land allocated to the people belonged to the imperial court, of course, some of them were taken by Haoqiang by various improper means.
If it was someone else's property, he would never have moved!
The interests of all parties are balanced, and Liu Wei not only safeguarded the interests of the local tyrants, but also the interests of ordinary people.
Pang Tong proposed that there was no need to make a big move, but Liu Wei also agreed that it was okay for the generals present to ask them to lead the army to fight, but I am afraid it would be worse to let them govern the place.
Therefore, no one has made any different proposals.
Looking around at everyone, Liu Wei said to Pang Tong: "Shiyuan, Jiangdong has been pacified, and I will return to Luoyang." Sun Quan and I returned together, as for the Jiangdong surrender, you are good to be resettled, you can be co-opted, the old and infirm, disarmed and returned to the field! ”
Pang Tong bowed his fist and took the will.
Liu Wei seemed to remember something, and then said: "As for the things you mentioned after crossing the river, I thought about it again and again, and I didn't allow it!" Don't mention it again in the future! ”
Everyone in the hall didn't know what Liu Wei had talked about with Pang Tong earlier, and he suddenly came up with such a sentence, which made everyone's faces look dazed.
The generals looked at each other, and then all eyes fell on Liu Wei's face, as if waiting for him to continue.
However, Liu Wei did not tell the reason, and Pang Tong also lowered his head, looking like he had made a mistake.
After talking to everyone about Jiangdong again, Liu Wei waved his hand and said to them: "You wait and go to each other!" ”
Pang led the crowd, thanked Liu Wei, and retreated one after another.
After everyone retreated, Wang Zhen, who was still in the hall, asked Liu Wei: "Your Majesty, you just got Jiangdong, why did you return to Luoyang immediately?" ”
"Jiangdong is too far away from Luoyang!" Glancing back at Wang Zhen, Liu Wei said: "Luoyang is fundamental, if I leave for too long, it will definitely cause suspicion, I should return as soon as possible!" ”
After getting Liu Wei's explanation, Wang Zhen seemed to understand something, nodded, and said nothing.
However, Liu Wei did not finish his words, and continued: "Sun Quan, as the Marquis of Wu, also has some popularity in Jiangdong. Leaving him here is a woe after all. The so-called dragon out of the water, the tiger out of the mountain, once he leaves Jiangdong, it is nothing! Why would I want him to stay here longer? ”
Liu Wei's explanation was reasonable, and after Wang Zhen listened to it, he just nodded incessantly, and didn't even ask more than half a sentence.
Just as he was talking to Wang Zhen, a guard's voice came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, the unknown general asks to see!" ”
After entering Jianye, Nameless took eight Han soldiers under his command and walked around the city in the costumes of the common people.
It's not so much that they are idle, but that they are observing a place in Jiangdong, but there are assassins who intend to be unfavorable to Liu Wei!
In the struggle for hegemony between the imperial court and the heroes, there were also some heroes who tried to attack Liu Wei with assassins, and over the years, Liu Wei encountered countless assassins.
However, of all the Assassins, Koto sent the most.
Therefore, although Sun Quan sacrificed Jiangdong, Nameless did not dare to be careless, so he entered Jianye City, and took his men and scattered them in the city, searching for possible dangers.
When the nameless came here, he must have something to say, and Liu Wei instructed the guards outside the door: "Please come in and speak!" ”
The guard outside the door first responded, and then seemed to say something to someone, and then, Nameless appeared at the door, clasped his fists and bowed to Liu Wei and said: "Your Majesty, the last general will investigate Jianye, and no abnormalities have been found!" ”
Nodding, Liu Wei made a gesture of invitation to Nameless and said, "General, go inside and speak!" ”
There were traces of assassins in the city, and Nameless had already made a presentation, but Liu Wei still asked him to sit down and talk, and Nameless was very puzzled by Liu Bian's actions, but he still responded and stepped into the hall.
Bowed to Liu Bian again, Nameless didn't speak, just looked up at Liu Bian.
"Has the general walked all over Jianye City?" After making a gesture to the nameless and motioning for him to sit down, Liu Wei opened his mouth to ask.
When the army entered the city, there were a lot of streets it passed, and Liu Wei didn't fail to see the layout of Jianye City, which made Wuming very puzzled.
However, he still responded: "Jianye has been rectifying the defense for days, and many of the people in the city have been recruited as civil husbands, and they have been tired for days, and now the army has entered the city, and the people have not committed any crimes, but no one has complained about the court, but there are many people who secretly abuse Sun Quan!" ”
"I'm afraid that they also want to scold me, but they are afraid in their hearts, so they keep silent!" Smiling slightly, Liu Wei asked Nameless: "In the street market in the city, are there people coming and going?" ”
"There are a few, but not many!" After thinking for a while, Nameless said: "Most of the shops in the city are closed, and some people will be met at the end of the way, and they are all recruited as civil husbands. ”
Liu Wei nodded and said no more.
He had already guessed these phenomena by namelessness.
When the army entered Jianye, before knowing what the Han army would do to the people in the city, most of the shops and residents in the city would only close their doors and not dare to make a living easily.
This is a process, no matter how strict the discipline of the Han army is, the people also need such a process, and after adapting to the change of ownership in Jiangdong, there will be a recovery here.
"The general will rest later, and tomorrow morning, I will return to Luoyang!" Knowing in his heart that Jiangdong had stabilized, Liu Wei said to Nameless: "The world is decided, and the Han Dynasty still needs to recuperate before he can revive the heroic style of the Han Dynasty!" ”
Nameless hurriedly got up, and after answering, he was about to say goodbye, but Liu Wei said to him: "The general should stay away, I heard that there is also a section of the Yangtze River in Jianye City, and if you want to go to the riverside to see, you must be accompanied by the general!" ”
Deng Zhan did not follow Liu Wei to Jiangdong, and only Wang Zhen and Nameless were with him.
Although Wang Zhen's swordsmanship is superb, when he meets a real master, he is also weak to deal with.
Nameless also felt that only by his side, Liu Wei's thoughtfulness did not need to worry, so he hurriedly answered and stood sideways.
Liu Wei stood up and strode out of the hall.
Accompanied by Wang Zhen and Nameless, he walked out of the council hall, and immediately dozens of guards followed.
Wuhou Mansion is not small, from the backyard to the front yard, Liu Wei and others also walked for a while.
Jianye City was filled with the atmosphere of war for days, and the people in the city knew that the Han army entered the city not invited by Wu Hou, but forced Sun Quan to sacrifice Jianye, and Jianye changed the owner!
The streets in the city were empty, and there were not a few people walking around, and the Jiangdong Army couldn't see a single one, and what passed by the streets was just a team of stubborn Han soldiers.
On the war horse, surrounded by Nameless, Wang Zhen and a team of guards, Liu Wei walked towards the Yangtze River.
One day, he will leave Jianye.
It is not easy to come over the river on horseback for more than ten years, but as Pang Tong said, it is easy to fight the country, and it is probably not so easy to defend the country.
Along the way, what Liu Wei was circling in his mind was how to keep the country stable, at least under the rule of his generation and even the next few generations, the Han Dynasty would not decline!
Riding a war horse slowly, Liu Wei was circling in his mind about how to stabilize the world, but his eyes looked at everything he could see.
He clearly saw that in the window of a house, a head was poking out.
The owner of the head noticed that he was leading the guards by, and quickly shrank back, panic overflowing.
Smiling slightly, Liu Wei didn't pay much attention to it, and led the team towards the Yangtze River.
