Chapter 743: Prosperous
Jingzhou is a relatively stable and wealthy state in Kyushu at present, with a strong army, fertile water and soil, and abundant mineral resources.
It is just below Yuzhou, with Yangzhou to the east and Liangzhou to the west.
How important is it, Wang Yan is cunning and rabbit three holes, and one of the back roads for the Wang family is Jingzhou, so the current Jingzhou Thorn History is Wang Yan's younger brother Wang Cheng.
However, the local tycoons in Jingzhou are powerful, and Wang Cheng is not a capable person, so he cannot fully control Jingzhou.
Chu Kang also didn't look down on Wang Cheng, so when Zhao Hanzhang asked why he didn't go through the Jingzhou Thorn History Book, but wanted to come all the way here to stop her, he said disdainfully: "How can Wang Pingzi be worthy of writing for me?" ”
Having said that, Zhao Hanzhang still saw the resentment in his disdain, obviously, he disdained to let Wang Cheng go to the book, and Wang Cheng probably wouldn't write for him.
She didn't ask again, and changed the topic and said, "Mr. Chu, are there many people who are as worried about the resumption of war in Yanzhou and Yuzhou as you do?" ”
Chu Kang didn't want to think about it: "A lot! ”
After a pause, he sighed and said: "Zhao Tingshi only took three years to pacify Yuzhou, recover Sizhou, and the two taxes were deliberately reduced and exempted. ”
"If it is to recover the homeland, we will naturally support it, but if we learn to fight in the interior again, when will we rest?" I want Chu Kang to say, the king of the East China Sea is dead, and so many clans have died, and now that Jin is Gou Xi and Zhao Hanzhang are in power, everyone might as well cooperate well, first take back their homeland, beat the Hu people out, and wait for the people to breathe a sigh of relief, and then they will fight like Cao Wei and Liu Shu, and whoever wins will then sit in the world.
Now that the external strife has not subsided, they will stop fighting.
When Chu Kang was studying, he had seen the cities and villages after the Xiongnu ravaged, and it was really one out of ten.
One village after another was burned out, looted, and corpses were everywhere, he could imagine that if Zhao Hanzhang and Gou Xi fought, when both sides were defeated, Liu Yuan would definitely go south, and Jingzhou would not be able to be alone at that time.
In the past two years, tens of thousands of Beidi Shi people have moved south, and less than 1,000 people can survive to Jingzhou and Yangzhou.
So Chu Kang came to stop Zhao Hanzhang, in a big sense, it was for the country, but in fact, it was not for the small family?
If the Jin Kingdom perished in the presence of a strong enemy of the Xiongnu, then no one's small family would be able to be saved.
Chu Kang tried hard to persuade Zhao Hanzhang, asking her to quickly find a way to persuade Wang Jun and Liu Kun, if you have anything to say, don't fight around, it really provoked Gou Xi, he didn't believe that they could stop Gou Xi's army.
Zhao Hanzhang responded again and again, promising to write letters to Jizhou and Yanzhou respectively when he returned to Luoyang, and at that time, he would ask Chu Kang to come to the door to consult on the methods to stop the war.
The two of them rode back to Luoyang together, and before they arrived at the city gate, they saw a long queue in front of them, oxen and carriages mixed into a pile, and some soldiers came out with gongs to beat, "Let go, let go, stab Shi back to the city, all go to the side." ”
A soldier ran over from the city gate to inform that the officials and staff on the Luoyang side had come to greet the assassin.
Ji Yuan, Ming Pre, Zhao Kuan, Wang Siniang and others stood not far from the city gate to greet them, Zhao Hanzhang lifted the curtain and glanced at it, "I've only been away for a few months, and our Luoyang is so prosperous?" ”
Chu Kang said disappreciably: "They all want to come to see Zhao Tingshi." ”
As soon as the words fell, a person who was queuing up to the side of the road did not pay attention, and the sheep who was watching it ran out, and the other party was so anxious that his face turned red, and he hurriedly threw his whip to catch it, trying to drag it back to the line.
But the sheep flexibly avoided it, and the soldier who walked in front saw it, and reached out to pick up the sheep, and the man stopped, looked at the soldier anxiously, wanted to open his mouth but did not dare, and was stunned for a while.
The soldier took two steps forward, stuffed the sheep into his arms, and unceremoniously pushed the person back, "Hurry up, hurry up, if you collide with the thorn history, we will stew and eat this sheep!" ”
The man hugged the sheep, immediately thanked Dade for his nod, and carried the sheep back to the side of the road.
Zhao Hanzhang looked at it silently and asked, "This is also to see me?" ”
Chu Kang glanced at it, coughed lightly and said, "It's all here, you can't run for nothing with your bare hands, you can bring some goods if you can." ”
Zhao Hanzhang's eyes lit up slightly, and he was a little more energetic, "This idea is good, Mr. Chu, you are welcome to come to Luoyang more times in the future." ”
Zhao Hanzhang knocked on the wall of the car and ordered: "Speed up, there will be more than a thousand people, don't delay the people in and out of the city." ”
The soldiers responded and gave the order, and the speed of the army increased, and the carriage creaked forward, more than twice as fast as before.
The people queuing up to enter the city in front of them were a little chaotic, and they couldn't dodge, and Zhao Jiajun didn't drive to the collision, he leaned to the side of the road, and the three people walking side by side became two people, and even Zhao Hanzhang and their cars all rolled out of the road one by one, pressing the weeds and uneven soil clods that had just emerged.
Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan had already experienced, and immediately used their butts hard at the first bump, fixed their legs, and secretly grabbed the carriage.
Chu Kang didn't expect that the whole person was upside down with the carriage, and his soul was about to be turned upside down.
When the carriage finally turned to the right road, Chu Kang's hairstyle was messed up, he sat up with a little embarrassment, divided his hair on both sides, and raised his eyes to look at the other two people in the car, but Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan turned their heads left and right, and looked out the window together, as if they didn't see his embarrassment.
Chu Kang: ......
Looking at the two of them, who were as steady as Mount Tai, he had some suspicions that this was Zhao Hanzhang colluding with the coachman, just to see him laugh.
But turning his head to look out the window at the crowd of people huddled into a pile to make way for them, Chu Kang's suspicions were dispelled again, and he sighed: "I often hear that the Zhao family's army is strictly disciplined, and when I see it today, it lives up to its name." ”
If other armies had entered the city, the people would have run away long ago, especially those with money and goods, how would they dare to let the sergeants see them?
In fact, there were also people who ran away from the scene, but they turned their heads and ran for more than a dozen steps, and when they turned around, they saw that many people who were queuing up to enter the city did not move, but as soon as they ran, the people behind immediately squeezed up to occupy their original positions, and they hesitated and did not run far.
Although he didn't run far, he still didn't dare to return to the main path, but hid in the forest and watched from afar.
Seeing that Zhao Jiajun skipped over those caravans and cattle and sheep without squinting like this, he was stunned for a moment, "You didn't rob it?" ”
"You won't ask us to donate military salaries?"
Crowded together to watch, the merchants who came to Luoyang for the first time after the destruction of Luoyang City were silent, and they all looked at Zhao Jiajun, focusing on the carriage that was escorted in the team.
Zhao Hanzhang should be in that carriage.
