Chapter 272: The Mountain

The current Jingzhou is not the Jingzhou in history.

In history, the public security guard will be Shiren, and the Jiangling guard will be Mi Fang, but if one of them can hold on and wait for Guan Yu to return to the army, Lu Meng will not be able to defeat Jingzhou, and Guan Yu will not be able to go to Maicheng.

But now in Jingzhou, the public security guard will be a civil servant, and the Jiangling guard should be Zhang Xi himself if nothing else, plus Jingnan and Xu Shu are responding, really don't talk about Lu Meng, even if Zhou Yu comes in person, this Nanjun is not easy to bite.

Lu Meng, the ability is really there, but if you really want to say that it is more powerful than Zhou Yu, Zhang Xi doesn't believe it.

Xu Shu's relief made Zhang Xi feel a lot more relieved.

After that, Xu Shu turned back to Wuling, continued to guard Wuling, and tried to divide and suppress the Wuling barbarians.

Guan Yu secretly ordered Wen Ping to strengthen his vigilance, and continued to remain quiet on the surface, while writing a letter to Sun Quan to express his condolences, and at the same time expressing the friendship of the alliance between the two sides.

Soon Sun Quan also wrote back, thanking Guan Yu for his kindness, and along with Sun Quan's letter, there was also a letter from Lu Meng, the new governor of Bachu.

In the letter, Lu Meng expressed his admiration for Guan Yu, and said that he was also born in the bottom of the army, and fortunately won the appreciation of the lord.

Lu Meng's letter seems to be neither humble nor arrogant, but in fact, it scratches Guan Yu's heart everywhere.

The second master eats this set.

Seeing that Lu Meng said that he was born in the army and was looked down upon on weekdays, Guan Yu thought that he followed Liu Bei in his early years, and he was often looked down upon by some big families.

Seeing that Lu Meng expressed his loyalty and gratitude to the lord Sun Quan, Guan Yu remembered the relationship between himself and his eldest brother Liu Bei, if it wasn't for the trust of the eldest brother for so many years, where could he Guan Yu guard one side.

Seeing Lu Meng expressing that he wanted to set an example for himself, Guan Yu was even more happy.

Even the other party's general recognized his achievements and became his "little fan brother", where is there anything more proud than this?!

This letter made the second master very happy, but it also raised Zhang Xi's vigilance against Lu Meng by a higher level.

This Lu Meng is really a person who is good at attacking the heart, and a letter makes Guan Yu happy like this, Zhang Xi can really understand why this person in history can lure Hao Pu, Shiren, Mi Fang, and attack Jingzhou without blood.

Although Zhang Xi has thought a lot about Xu Shu's enlightenment, Zhang Xi still has no intention of underestimating Lu Meng, and specifically told Fei Yi to strengthen the intelligence collection of Lu Meng, and strengthen the mobilization of troops in the direction of Lukou, and raise the priority to the highest.

And then again. Well, that's the only way, after all, the two sides haven't officially turned their faces.

After the first month, the time came to February, and it was time to arrange spring ploughing.

After last year's autumn harvest, Zhang Xi asked the officials of all counties and counties to supervise the people to burn the stalks, and there were several snowfalls in winter, so theoretically speaking, there should not be another locust plague.

However, Zhang Xi still did not dare to be careless, and still sent the county to the local area to continue to supervise the local deep cultivation and prevent locust plagues.

At the same time, Zhang Xi also specially wrote a letter to Lu Meng, asking him to take good care of Changsha and other places, and not to invite disasters to Nanjun. In fact, there is no need for Zhang Xi to explain this matter, Lu Meng has already sent people to inquire about some of Zhang Xi's measures to prevent and control flying locusts in the past year, and they have been promoted in Changsha and Guiyang counties.

In last year's locust plague, Changsha County suffered the greatest losses, and until now it has to provide food and grass to support the army and the people.

And the clans in Jiangdong will not fight against Lu Meng in this matter, after all, they have already lost a year's income from money and food, and they don't want to lose a second time.

However, Lu Meng also wrote a reply letter to Zhang Xi, this time it was different from Guan Yu's set, Lu Meng thanked Zhang Xi for his reminder, and hoped that Zhang Xi would see that it was not easy for the people to survive, and humbly ask Zhang Xi for experience in governing the place.

If this were a different person, he might think that Lu Meng was not only humble and studious, but also always put the people first. But who is Zhang Xi, a dignified traverser, can you still know what your Lu Meng's idea is?!

This is going to say nice things everywhere to lower everyone's wariness of him, and then it will be convenient to backstab him at the end.

After all, that's how this thing has been done historically.

Many people only saw the moment when Lu Meng was backstabbed, and they all ignored the fact that this product has been used non-stop since a few years ago, buying people's hearts, and those who can't buy it will desperately lower their vigilance to capture Jingzhou Lu Meng may have taken less than three months, but the time to prepare, this goods has taken several years.

This letter, Zhang Xi didn't even feel safe when he lost the corner, so he burned it directly.

But Zhang Xi did this, at most, to remind himself that he couldn't let his guard down, but others, Zhang Xi couldn't follow every day to remind Lu Meng that he was uneasy and kind.

Recently, even Xi Zhen asked Zhang Xi if he had any grudges with Lu Meng before, how did he feel that Zhang Xi was deliberately targeting Lu Meng, you see, even Zhang Xi's auxiliary officers thought so, you can imagine how effective Lu Meng's tactics are.

Zhang Xi said too much, but no one listened, so he simply didn't say it for the time being, and just prepared silently.

At the end of March, when the spring plowing was completely over, Zhang Xi began to inspect the barracks and inspect the combat readiness of the army.

The result made Zhang Xi very satisfied, and there was no slack in the army. After all, this is what Guan Yu is arresting, but Guan Yu's purpose is not to guard against Lu Meng, but to attack Xiangyang in his heart.

Hm. Forget it, let's talk about it then.

Zhang Xi, who has no choice for the time being, put this matter aside for the time being and continues to deal with government affairs.

After the spring ploughing in March, Zhangxi's biggest government affairs was probably to launch a conscription and ask the people to help build the Jiangling city wall.

And this matter, there is no need for Zhang Xi to come out at all, Xi Zhen can handle it steadily.

In daily official business, Deng Ai and Zhao Lei also helped to deal with it, but it was also easy.

Therefore, Zhang Xi agreed to Sima Hui's invitation and attended the opening ceremony of Yuelu Academy.

To put it simply, Sima Hui invited Confucian scholars from Jingzhou, Runan, Luoyang, Jiangdong and other places to come to Yuelu Academy to live for a month and discuss knowledge together.

Because Sima Hui's face is big, the great Confucians who come are all top Confucians in various places, such as Song Zhong, the former Jingzhou Confucian, who was idle in Luoyang, Yu Fu, who was exiled by Sun Quan in Jiangdong, and Song Jun, a disciple of Zheng Xuan in Runan, and others.

Even Xu Jing, who was in Shudi, also came from Chengdu to attend the party.

Xu Jing's arrival, on the one hand, is that he is idle in Chengdu and has nothing to do, and on the other hand, it also represents Liu Bei's attention to the emergence of such a academy under his jurisdiction.

And with Xu Jing coming, there are also a large number of works of the great Confucians of Shudi, which are ready to be stored in the library of Yuelu Academy.

Of course, many of them are not heirlooms of major families, but some of the newly written things by the Confucian scholars of Shu according to their own understanding were originally used to gain fame.

And Xu Jing brought so many books over, which naturally aroused the doubts of other celebrities and scholars about the articles and works of Confucianism in Shudi.

In the past, because of factors such as inconvenient transportation and unfavorable carrying of books, everyone did not see each other, and no one knew what you wrote behind closed doors at home.

Now it's okay, the great Confucians in Shu have paper, this thing is much more convenient than bamboo, and the amount of information is also large, but it's not just hard to write, in case everyone thinks it makes sense, isn't it a reputation for nothing.

Therefore, the great Confucians in Shu have written a lot of articles and works, which used to be just things that they pondered in their hearts, but now they have also written them down, and then asked Xu Jing to bring them to Jingzhou to show off.

The great Confucians in other places didn't take it seriously at first, but seeing that Xu Jing brought the three major cars of the books, which were all on paper, they all flipped through them with curiosity. Then he started scolding.

It's all a mess.

There are a few people who can come to participate in the literary meeting held by Sima Hui who are not the great Confucians of the time, who do not have their own understanding of the classics of the sages. Why is what you said right?!

Wen Wu's first sentence is simply too suitable for the current Yuelu Academy.

The great Confucian of Shu is in the middle of nowhere, and sure enough, this cultural level is not good, and he dares to let people bring it to Jingzhou to show his eyes, and he dares to put it in the library and must be rejected.

These Confucians are working hard one by one, let Xu Jing stay first, they don't leave for the time being, they read the works of the Confucian in Shu one by one, and when they see that they don't like words, they scold, and when they see that they make sense but don't agree, they also write articles to refute them, anyway, now the paper is cheap, write casually, and Xu Jing will go back and take it back after writing.

Zhang Xi came to participate in the so-called opening ceremony, and what he saw was such a group of indignant old men, as well as a young man who was busy and helpless.

There is no way, there is no one in the audience who is less than forty years old, only such a guy who pours tea and water, and looks about the same age as Zhang Xi.

Coupled with the impassioned things that these Confucians said, Zhang Xi couldn't understand two out of ten sentences, so he was really bored, so he talked with this young man of about the same age.

Then, Zhang Xi felt that he was quite in love with this person, so he asked about his origin by the way.

The young man said that when he traveled to Runan in his early years, he worshipped Song Dushi in Runan, and this time he followed Song Jun's teacher to Jingzhou to meet the world, his surname was Wang, his name was Ji, and his name was Boyu.

Hmm, it's called Wang Ji?! Wang Ji?!!!

Donglai Wangji?!
