The strength of the local tycoons lies not only in their mastery of sufficient means of production, but also in their mastery of the system of evaluating people.

Kong Rong's story of making pears at the age of four is not the same style as his adult at all, but because of his family relationship, this can also be called a proof that he has been successful since he was a child, and even if Lejin is brave in battle, even if he has made countless meritorious contributions, who will tell the story of his childhood.

But now it's different, this brave warrior never imagined that one day he would be the object of everyone's praise.

After two glasses of hot wine, his face suddenly turned red.

"What the princes said is, what the princes said is, I will definitely listen to the advice of the princes in the future! I must listen to the advice of the public! ”

Guan Ping looked at Le Jinle's appearance, and remembered Sima Fu's smug look before leaving.

Sima Fu guessed Le Jin's reaction really, when He Jin and the butcher sat in the position of the general, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others also put their hearts on him, and completely served him as his own benefactor, He Jin was extremely inflated, almost thinking that he was the master of the world. But how could Yuan Shao and Cao Cao treat this butcher from a humble background and without any outstanding talents.

If He Jin does not die, even if he "controls" the court, he will be completely seized power by Yuan Shao in the future.

Over the years, the literati of the Han Dynasty have gradually occupied the most advantageous channel of ascension, even the warriors who control the power will not let their children and grandchildren be proud of being uneducated, as long as they abide by this rule and occupy this channel, they will have to choose to cooperate with celebrities in the future, even if they have great authority.

Le Jin has always held the military and political affairs of Xiangyang firmly in his hands, and regarded those Jingxiang's celebrities and wealthy families as strong enemies, and some of them mobilized the army to attack and suppress the surrounding ministers, especially the soldiers who could fight the most in his hands did not even need grain and grass from Jingzhou, for fear that something would go wrong in it.

But now he was stunned to realize that he had won the hearts of the people in Xiangyang, and so many people admired his ability.

"Haha, this, this...... Ashamed! Ashamed! Le Jin was praised by everyone and didn't dare to show any arrogant and contemptuous words, and he couldn't say anything for a while, but just kept grinning and smirking, telling everyone to drink to their heart's content.

Guan Ping's current alcohol consumption is still very bad, but it is not like before when he put down a bowl. He drank another bowl, his face became more and more ruddy, and he said with the strength of the wine:

"In the future, the soldiers and horses under General Le will live here for a long time, and this matter of serving in Tuntian should not be taken lightly. Otherwise, General Le couldn't bear to treat you harshly, but he wouldn't give in. ”

Everyone nodded yes, and a middle-aged scribe even bowed his head again and again:

"The general is relieved, we have always been to the court, and we will do our best to assist General Le this time.

At present, there is a matter that I want to report to General Le. ”

"Oh," Le Jin said with a smile on his face, "but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

The middle-aged scribe spoke eloquently:

"In order to pursue Liu Bei when the prime minister led the army before, he hurriedly led the army from Xiangyang to Jiangling, and we were quite frightened in our hearts, and we didn't know what to do in the future. However, after the general sat in Xiangyang, he broadcast and indoctrinated, and Shen Yiyi, and his subordinates fought to the death to help me Jingchu eliminate the bandits.

The general's sons and daughters did not commit any crimes in the previous autumn, and they bothered to kill the enemy so much that we Jingzhou villagers also felt that they could not go.

Since the general decided to live in Jingzhou for a long time, in order to calm the people's hearts and leave these righteous soldiers, we also asked the general to select hundreds of fierce generals. ”

"This ......" Le Jin almost couldn't help but applaud the table.

So I'm so popular? So I'm so popular!

These Jingzhou clans love the house and Wu, not only respectful to me, but also take the initiative to help my soldiers find wives and concubines, this is, where is the sun coming out.

Guan Ping bowed his head silently, and said in his heart that the craftsmanship of this great family is really powerful, and he can always put on a good appearance for you.

Lejin's strength depends on his core soldiers, and the families of these people are in the rear, and they have been staying in the military camp since entering Xiangyang, and they have always had a deep hostility towards the Jingxiang people. But as long as Lejin agrees, they can marry a Jingzhou woman, and then get acres of land to cultivate here. They eat Jingzhou and drink Jingzhou, and if Lejin doesn't give them food money in the future, they will naturally gradually get out of Lejin's control.

It just so happened that Jingzhou was barbaric, and the contradiction between man and land was not as sharp as that of the Central Plains, and there were many women who fled from the north in the past few years, and many men were lost in the war over the years. These elite soldiers can form a very effective supplement, and slowly transform into the private army and protector of these clans, and Lejin wants to take them away......

I'm afraid it won't work.

·

Everyone had a great time at the party.

Le Jin personally took Guan Ping to rest, and asked everyone to prepare the best wine and food for Guan Ping, and then arrange a few Mei Ji to serve.

"If there is nothing too important, don't bother Brother Tanzhixian, this journey is quite hard, and it is really not easy for him."

Ma Liang smiled and nodded, and sighed:

"I'm afraid it won't be that easy."

Of course, Lejin knew what Ma Liang was referring to.

Full of pets trapped in Dangyang, these days are claustrophobic and about to go crazy, I heard that Yunshan repelled Guan Yu, I can't help but be overjoyed, he has no friendship with Yunshan, but the friendship with Le Jin is quite good, these days I have sent a letter to Le Jin, asking Le Jin to urge Yunshan to send troops, so as to eliminate some of the soldiers around Dangyang first, and send him some supplies.

How can Dangyang have such sufficient grain and grass in Jiangling, and he has been tortured by Guan Yu to run out of food these days, if Le Jin doesn't care about him anymore, his soldiers are only afraid that they will scatter in a hurry and carry him to surrender Guan Yu.

Out of the feelings of his colleagues for many years and the responsibility of the battlefield, Le Jin didn't want to give up his favor, but he was fooled by Ma Liang these days and believed that only by giving up Cao Ren and officially taking over the military power of Dong Du Jingzhou could he win the hearts of the people and lay the foundation for Cao Cao's final defeat of Sun Liu.

Seeing Manzhong begging for help, he could only grit his teeth and ignore it.

"It's not okay to keep pretending to ignore it, the general has been resigning because of the lack of troops, but now that Tanzhi has won, and the Xiangyang soldiers have returned to obedience, if I don't save it, I'm afraid it will be Zhao Yan's fate again."

Ma Liang said with a smile: "The general and noble man are so forgetful, I have already said that this matter is easy to deal with." ”

Le Jin smiled bitterly:

"Where did Ben forget? It's just that in this way, I live in Xiangyang, Tanzhi runs back and forth, and I still have to meet Cai Mao, I'm only afraid that Tanzhi will blame me. ”

The smile on Ma Liang's face was even brighter:

"The general's words are wrong again.

On the same day, Prime Minister Cao Cheng went south and forcibly conscripted the people of Jingzhou to supply Jiangling for the Eastern Expedition.

The general changed all the previous things, which made me Jingzhou happy and convinced, and Tan Zhi is also a Jingzhou person, so he will work hard for the general to be stationed in Jingzhou.

The general still calls us virtuous brothers today, why are we so outside today? ”

Le Jin couldn't stop slapping his head by Ma Liang's godlike sycophant, and he smirked silently.

Ma Liang took the opportunity to say:

"But there is still something to say about the general-Zhao Yan framed the previous time, so that a certain and Tanzhi have a lot of complaints about the imperial court.

This time, Tan Zhi made a contribution to repel Guan Yu, and the prime minister just gave Guan Neihou (no food), I am only afraid that Tan Zhi will complain. ”

"Oh, what does Ji Chang think?"

Ma Liang said confidently:

"The Tan family is poor and has always been in the vicinity of Da Xian Mountain, if more land in the area of Da Xian Mountain is given to them to cultivate and live, and then their families are allowed to gather here.

In this way, there are assets and concerns in the Tan family, and they must be deeply grateful to the general, and they will naturally have fewer complaints about the court. ”

"Hmm...... Also. "Lejin doesn't have the courage to give Guanping food, but there are large tracts of uncultivated land in that part of Xianshan, and it is still adjacent to the Cai family.

I'm afraid that no one will dare to ask for this place for others, and it can be regarded as encouraging his courage to give Tanzhi, as long as he doesn't let the court know, everything will be fine.

He nodded quickly:

"That's it."

The next day, Guan Ping slept until three poles in the morning.

The last time I slept so comfortably was back when I went to Dongwu with Zhuge Liang, when I was still in the camp of friendly troops, and now I am surrounded by enemies, which makes Guan Ping still faintly afraid.

The maid diligently sent the bronze mirror and served Guan Ping to wash his face and change clothes, Guan Ping looked at himself in the mirror, and suddenly had a faint feeling of strangeness.

These days, his appearance is more mature than before, and his eyebrows are full of killing colors.

Ma Liang pushed the door in, and saw Guan Ping in a daze in front of the mirror, and couldn't help but smile:

"I haven't seen you for many days, but Tanzhi's appearance has changed a lot."

He asked the maid to step back, looked at it carefully, and smiled:

"In the past, it was just a joke to call Xiao Guan Gong, but looking at your appearance today, it is becoming more and more similar to Yun Chang.

Hey, in a few days, I'm afraid that Cao Jun and everyone will doubt your identity. ”

Guan Ping put down the bronze mirror and said with a smile:

"It seems that I won't be able to grow a long beard in the future, so that I can last a little longer."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and then they each sat down.

Ma Liang told Guan Ping what he had discussed with Le Jin before, but now Le Jin has been deceived by the Jingzhou clan into losing himself, and has begun to pay attention to reputation and reputation, for fear of doing something that is not elegant enough and affects his reputation.

He didn't see that the Jingxiang clan was gradually disintegrating his subordinates with beauty tricks, but actively encouraged the most capable and brave soldiers around him to marry the woman of Jingzhou, unaware that the vicious calculations had gradually unfolded around him, and could devour his life at any time.

This is the horror of troubled times.

"At most, in three months, we will be able to completely control the soldiers around Lejin.

I just don't know how Tanzhi is going to do next. ”

"Frankly think, we should take the opportunity to kill Le Jin, and then trap Jiangling to completely annihilate Cao Ren, or first make a false and wronged snake, get along with Le Jin for the time being, and continue to praise him for a while."

The smile on Ma Liang's face was a little conceited:

"As long as Tanzhi makes a decision, Lejin ...... Insignificant also! ”
