"Prime Minister, I, I understand, I will support the new policy in the future, I believe in car riding, I believe in car rid......ing, I believe in car riding" Cai Mao couldn't straighten her waist, for some reason, she felt that since Cao Cao entered Xiangyang, Jingzhou, it was completely different from when the letters were exchanged.

This time, I can only swallow my anger.

Coming out of the office, the two looked at each other bitterly.

Kuai Yue asked at this moment, "Dejue, do you remember...... How many troops are there to change the guard now? ”

"One hundred thousand," Cai Mao sighed helplessly, and couldn't refuse anymore, "Now Xiangyang City is full of Prime Minister Cao Cheng's soldiers, and Xu Zhen still wants 30,000 in Shucheng, and he can come to Jingzhou at any time to threaten the border." ”

"Cao Ren, Cao Hong, and the Tiger and Leopard Rider are all over Jingzhou, plus among the nine counties, except for Jiangxia, there are at least five counties that are all sincerely attached to the Cao family."

The situation is irreversible, Jingzhou has really fallen overnight, and there is no longer any resistance to it.

"We were all ruthlessly put together by Cao Zixiao, Prime Minister Cao Cheng values Xu Zhen so much, how could Cao Ren secretly design, his words are bullying us and we don't understand the relationship between a few people, and now I don't know if it's too late to befriend Xu Zhen."

"As I said before, Xu Zhen is probably trying to make money, so he is rectifying the Jingzhou Shi clan with such fanfare, and he wants to control the way of recommending talents," Kuai Yue squinted and analyzed: "We still have to meet him in person, and follow the example of the Ma family, and tell all the good intentions, although it is a step slower, but there is still a chance." ”

"Not bad!" Cai Mao sighed deeply, "If the Ma family takes the initiative to offer, you can get convenience, recommend official positions, and go home and prepare your belongings." ”

……

In the evening, Kuai Yue came first, went to Xu Zhen's mansion, and waited at the door for about half an hour before Xu Zhen came back from the barracks.

He sent 2,000 men to the army to follow, and secretly ordered to go to Nanjun, Nanyang County, Changsha County and other places to inquire about the slave status.

Push this matter to the whole of Jingzhou.

When I came back, I was quite surprised when I saw Kuai Yue here, and after getting out of the carriage, I took a look at it more, and I didn't say anything and continued to enter the house, but I was stopped by Kuai Yue.

The two have already met, and no matter how bad Kuai Yue's memory is, he has to deeply imprint this face, otherwise it will be regrettable if he scolds the wrong one day.

"Ride! In Xia Kuaiyue, the word is different, I should have come to visit earlier, but last night I was invited to the banquet set up by the lord, and I will meet friends with poems. ”

Xu Zhen looked back at him, and said in a deep voice: "The elimination of slavery is to eliminate the greed and private interests of the Jingzhou scholars, and to use it to level the Han Dynasty, raise the three armies, and recommend promotions. ”

He knew that Kuai Yue had to be left to drive now, so he explained the plan straightforwardly, and there was nothing to hide.

After all, Jingzhou is also an important place to attack Jiangdong in the future, Xu Zhen personally came here, did the evil thing first, and it would be more convenient for Prime Minister Cao Cheng to ease it again.

Kuai Yue was a little sluggish, and he was going to say some polite words to Xu Zhen, but he didn't expect him to be so decisive and straightforward, leaving no room for turning around.

Since it's straight to the point, there's no need to be polite.

Kuai Yue immediately put away his smile, looked at Xu Bowen a few more times, and said with some anger: "But the chariot rider did this, did you ever think that the tens of thousands of Shi ethnic groups in this territory are also ordinary people, and they have been divided into land and eliminated slavery, what is the difference between robbery and robbery?" At the beginning, the rules for Rende to enter the city were set by car, but I didn't expect it to be worse than robbery now! ”

"If it is benevolence, then it needs to be cultivated both internally and externally, and the upper and lower levels are treated equally, robbing the money and food of the nobles, and scattering it among the people, isn't it a villain's act? Shame on the nobles. ”

"If the bicycle ride can really increase the harvest in the country, it is understandable! But now it is full of complaints. ”

Moreover, many families did not accept slaves for personal gain, but because in the early years, the grain harvest was poor, and many people could not afford to eat, so they sold their families to the clan.

Stay alive.

"Well, the Han thanks you for your merits, but raising the people is a matter of the policy of the officials in various places, not the responsibility of the scholars, because I didn't rob it, what are you anxious about?" Xu Zhen smiled lightly.

Just the bearing of the two sides has already made a judgment.

Kuai Yue sneered: "Why isn't it robbing?" ”

"I'm just counting slaves, and registering for Han is voluntary, and those who refuse to register are still slaves in your family, and I haven't asked about this matter yet?"

Kuai Yue was speechless for a moment, and really asked, those slaves all left happily, and they also received some severance pay, although it was not much, but it hurt him a lot.

It shows that after the promulgation of the new policy, these policies to treat the people are very attractive.

Of course, Xu Bowen should be the most proficient in mobilizing people's hearts, and almost Jizhou was attacked like this.

Now how good Jizhou is to Xu Zhen, the hearts of the people are in him.

There is no difference between this and robbery, the slavery itself in our family is to survive, and what you give is the hope of making people rich, which is of course completely different.

But now that I suddenly think about it, I also feel that it is understandable, if Xu Zhen is wrong, but his internal policy is for the good of the people.

If he is right, the loss of the Shi clan is really huge, but as long as you keep making trouble and entanglement, the people will remember Xu Zhenzhi in the future, and then they can also remember that the pattern of these Shi clan people is small.

So when he thought of this, Kuai Yue couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, his chest kept rising and falling, and he became more and more irritable, and he wanted to fight with Xu Zhen on the spot.

However, there is no Cai Mao to stop him now, and there are several generals and guards around Xu Zhen.

If you do it, you will inevitably fall into the disadvantage, if you meet in the alley, it will definitely beat Xu Bowen to the head.

Now is not the best time.

Regretful.

"Tsk, Che Qi, I want to ask," Kuai Yue said again, and asked in a deep voice, "You have acted like this, have you considered how our Shi clan will survive in the future?" ”

"I haven't thought about it."

Xu Zhen was concise and indifferent, and after speaking, he looked at him with a very provocative look.

Hiss......

Kuai Yue's eyes widened, and he took a hard breath of cool air, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated to the point of trembling.

It was as if thousands of troops were galloping through the heart.

Too much deception, too much deception!!

You Xu Bowen didn't even want to pretend, just this sentence can prove that he is indeed coming for my Jingzhou clan.

This is just the beginning of Xiangyang City! From now on, it is estimated that there will be countless infamy!

Kuai Yue has faintly realized the positions played by Xu Zhen and Cao Cao, but he doesn't dare to guess and confirm, he can only say that the two of them are indeed ruthless, not only in the tacit understanding on the battlefield, but also in internal politics.

"I see, then today, Kuai is really humiliating himself, please ride the bike!"

Kuai Yue immediately clenched his fists, his face was quite angry, and this was not polite, as if he was threatening, but after Kuai Yue finished speaking, he quickly turned around and left.

He saw that although Xu Zhen had the bearing to keep his breath calm and not speak, Dian Wei behind him was already touching the knife, and he knew very well in his heart that this was also a big man, don't be deceived by the fact that he was giving Xu Zhen a guard.

These two people can't afford to be provoked, so if they don't leave, they won't be killed on the street, anyway, the Kuai clan can't talk about any power now, and the troops arranged by the family are basically gone.

Xu Zhen is popular again, his power is monstrous, he can't afford to provoke him, just put a few cruel words to be cool and happy, don't take it seriously.

Kuai Yue is still very sober in this matter.

After he left, Xu Zhen returned to the main hall.

Ma Liang naturally went back with him, after all, he had been promoted to the chief bookkeeper, and today he has led a thousand soldiers, and he is gradually familiar with it in the army.

At this time, he arched his hand in front of Xu Zhen and said: "Xiangyang Kuai clan, the family is dominated by talented scribes, and there are many big families in marriage over the years, which are complicated, and many officials are related to them. ”

"In the future, in Jingzhou, there will still be people in the Kuai clan who can be elected within ten years, which is inexhaustible."

"What about your family?"

Xu Zhen asked with a smile, seeing that Ma Liang's face also changed a little, and added, "It's okay, you weren't under my command at the beginning, and you couldn't help yourself in the Shi clan, you just said it?" ”

Ma Liang sighed and arched his hand: "Yes, there are indeed in-laws. ”

"Hahaha, the hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, it is said that the current scholar clan is intertwined with in-laws, like the rhizome of a giant tree, intertwined and buried deep in the ground, and it is impossible to be defeated at any time!"

"You mean, I can't really push them to the brink of extinction in order to prevent them from retaliating later?"

"That's right," Ma Liang frowned, still hadn't gotten up yet, and said solemnly: "Don't be afraid of riding, what about after a hundred years of riding?" ”

"I'm not afraid in a hundred years."

Xu Zhen increased his voice.

Of course, he won't tell anyone why, but his lifespan is enough to eradicate all the nobles.

Whether it is fifty years or a hundred years, Xu Zhen's remaining lifespan will only get longer and longer, and he can fight with these people for several generations.

Moreover, in another ten years, I don't know how wise and martial they are, how many inhuman and extraordinary abilities can be obtained, how can Xu Zhen be afraid of them?

He alone can reach thousands of warriors.

"That," Ma Liang said, not knowing what to say, and suddenly he noticed that this rider seemed to be a little arrogant in secret, and much more proud than ordinary people.

Pulling out the scholars, even Dong Zhuo didn't dare to say such things, although he took power with a butcher's knife on the necks of those celebrities, he also relied on them to stabilize the government and the officials and princes in various places.

However, since he said so, he should have his own thoughts......

"Then, the rider needs to figure it out, now that the slaves are removed and the fields are divided, I am afraid that more people will come to see you in the future, and your reputation will deteriorate every day."

"It doesn't matter."

Xu Zhen said coldly.

Ma Liang remained silent and didn't say anything, he could see that even the strategists around Xu Zhen didn't care much, and those generals were even more commonplace, so they also persuaded themselves to settle down, maybe this is Xu Bowen's style of acting, and in the future, they can cover up and the soldiers will block.

……

Sure enough, as Ma Liang expected, in the next few days, many celebrities came from around Xiangyang, asking to see Xu Zhen.

Discuss with him the way to establish the foundation of internal affairs, the theory of Confucianism to guide the world, and use the Confucian doctrine of the Han Dynasty to criticize Xu Zhen for not respecting celebrities and bachelors, and crossing the river and demolishing bridges for meritorious families.

Many people couldn't get to see him, so they scolded him outside and expelled Xu Zhen from the name of Confucianism, making it clear that Xu Zhen's success was not in line with the original method of appointing officials.

As a result, there are even many officials who have directly dismissed their posts from important tasks, stopped doing things, and were passive and slacking off.

The whole territory of Jingzhou was like this, thinking that it was pressuring, and this was used to put pressure on Cao Cao, so that he could force Xu Zhen to stop continuing to check the slaves and land of the Shi clan in the territory.

Tens of thousands of people associated with the Shi clan in Jingzhou united within a few days and did not succumb to Xu Zhen's hard-line "tyranny", which, of course, seemed to them to be tyranny, but the people did not react.

Therefore, the political affairs in Jingzhou have been put on hold for the time being, Xu Zhen waited for Cao Cao's decision, and the Cao clan also said countless words, as if they could no longer advance.

This news quickly spread to Jiangxia and Jiangdong, making them look lively.

Liu Bei crossed the river with his people, and after entering Jiangxia, he was reused by Liu Qi, relying on him for advice, and allowing his garrison to recruit troops, and several banquets raised the status of Liu Bei and Guan Zhang's second generals.

And a young man who came from Jingzhou to vote once again told about the internal situation in Jingzhou today.

Especially Xiangyang's resentment towards Xu Zhen made Liu Qi understand that this was definitely an excellent omen.

Xu Zhen didn't understand the character of the Southern Scholars.

"Southern scholars, incomparable!" At the banquet, Liu Qi spoke loudly, "This is not comparable to those scholars in the north who have been tortured by the war, they have long lost their backbone and surrendered to power. ”

"The south is different, especially the Jingzhou scholars! They will definitely not be oppressed by Xu Zhen, their surrender is nothing more than for the people. ”

"No," Liu Bei's face was solemn, and he immediately interrupted Liu Qi's imagination, "I'm afraid that Childe hasn't understood this Xu Bowen yet." ”

"When I attacked Liucheng, it was to create the Tongque Tower, which made people take it lightly, and suddenly launched a surprise attack, lured Yuan Xi, and then killed Yuan Xi."

"When he broke through Liucheng, he used this kind of strategy to show the enemy weakness! It must be the same now, don't look at the chaos in Jingzhou, you must be secretly preparing soldiers and horses, waiting for an opportunity. ”

After thinking about it, Liu Bei suddenly got up and stared at Liu Qi, and asked concentratingly, "In Shucheng, is there a way to raid Jiangxia?" ”

"No, Uncle Huang...... You ......" Liu Qi held his arms, his face a little distressed.

There is really no such route, and we are in Jiangxia, the waterway is tightly garrisoned, and there are your soldiers and horses on the land, so it is impossible to be raided.

"Uncle Huang, don't worry like this, Xu Zhen is not omnipotent, he is not an immortal, he is also a mortal, this sentence is still said by you yourself."

"He can't come, unless he flies from the sky."

Liu Qi smiled bitterly.

Liu Bei's eyes froze, as if he was thinking about it, and muttered to himself: "What if, he really has this ability?" ”

"Do you know that those lantern flying cages that broke Shouchun in the first place ......"

After hearing this, Ma Jian suddenly couldn't listen to it anymore, I didn't travel hundreds of miles to vote for Liu Qi's son, and I also have the fame of your Uncle Liu Huang in it, why did it become like this now, are you so afraid?

"Uncle Huang," Ma Tan arched his hand, "that fire cage can't hold people, and now there can't be any utensils that can carry people to fly hundreds of miles and suddenly reach the city." ”

"This kind of thing should only be in legends, so there is no need to worry so much......

"That's impossible," Liu Bei squinted at Ma Yan, "Mr. is from Xiangyang, Jingzhou, and he seems to be very familiar with Xu Zhen from your words?" ”

The corners of Ma Tan's mouth raised, he smiled crookedly, and snorted coldly: "In Xia Ma Tan, brother Ma Liang, Xu Bowen has no eyes and no reuse, and he has studied Xu Zhen's strategy for many years, and he understands too well that he uses military administration, and this time the Jingzhou rebellion is caused by his stubbornness." ”

After Liu Bei heard these words, his expression suddenly became extremely painful.

These words are all too familiar......

Xu Bowen, are you still trying to lie to me!? And put a spy next to me to steal my plan back!?

Then come and defeat me to make a name for yourself!
