Chapter 641: Cutting the grass is not finished, and spring grows again
Although Liu Bei is nearly fifty years old, he is full of spirit and heroism, which is very suitable for Sun Shangxiang's thoughts.
thought that he could keep the clouds open and see the moon, but Liu Bei was in a high position at this time, and there were necessary political considerations for people to do things.
Nasun Shangxiang can help Long Xiang stabilize Yangzhou, but personal safety is the top priority.
After Liu Bei and Sun Shangxiang went to the cave room, they only occasionally came to accompany the bride to practice swords during the day, and stayed in the rooms of Gan and Mi at night, or talked with Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang and others.
With the entry of officials from Jingzhou and Yangzhou into Beijing, the reorganized imperial court in Chang'an gradually became operational.
And Cao Hong made up for the loss of the sheep and guarded the Luoyang area, Liu Xie's wife and children could no longer cross the war zone, but Cao Cao let go of the Yingchuan clan because he forced Xun Yu to death, so that Fu Hou and others could still hide in the countryside.
Xun Yu hanged himself at home and died, and Cao Cao expressed Huaxin as Shang Shuling.
Although Ran Huaxin is famous and talented, he did not enter the inner circle of the Yingchuan Shi clan and could not help Cao Cao integrate the Henan Shi clan.
In view of this, Cao Cao recalled Xun Yu on the front line and assisted Hua Xin in leading Shangshutai.
Guan Yu and Long Xiang have the help of clairvoyant mirrors and can effectively grasp battlefield information, Cao Cao, under the advantage of troops, can only make all departments temporarily defend, passively accumulate materials for the war, and send meticulous work to Nanyang, Huainan and other places, trying to find a way to imitate the clairvoyant mirror to reverse the situation.
However, it was not easy to raise war materials, and all localities used last year's extensive recruitment of people as an excuse to abandon the fields due to the lack of strong men and abandoned production.
The counties and counties of the Central Plains are full of displaced people, not to mention paying enough grain to the government, even if it is difficult to be self-sufficient, even if Xun You is transferred to Shangshu, it is not easy to do it.
It just so happened that at this time, there was an urgent report from the state that Zhao Yun, the newly sealed Hedong Taishou of the Chang'an Imperial Court, sent the deputy general Pang Detun to Yong'an (Huo County), and there was a situation along the Fenshui map of Taiyuan.
Liang Xi, the current assassin of Bingzhou, although he is a henchman of Sikong Mansion, is lacking in the use of troops, and it is really difficult for him to deal with Zhao Yun and Pang De, two fierce generals.
Cao Cao could not sit idly by, so he sent Zhu Ling to increase his troops to Bingzhou.
He originally wanted to use this as an excuse to move the Yecheng court to Xudu, and turned to the Yingchuan clan to compromise, but he was afraid that the Hebei clan would have a gap and would not please both ends.
After thinking about it, he could only sit in the Central Plains to stabilize people's hearts and supervise the preparation of strategic materials, but unfortunately with little success.
It is a fact that natural disasters and man-made disasters lack food, and in the face of the constraints of the nobles and powerful, they cannot kill things like Sun Ce.
Cao Cao sent to various places to do nothing, especially those unlucky people who infiltrated Huainan, who were quickly exposed under the ID number verification mechanism, and then sent to Moling to participate in the construction.
It's a pity that Liu Fu, who had a profound labor reform, had died of illness in Xudu two years ago, otherwise he would have reminded Cao Cao to be careful.
In March of the fifteenth year of Jian'an, the construction progress of Moling New Town slowed down.
The spring rain in Moling in March is not very friendly to the craftsmen who build the city.
When he saw that the spring rain did not want to waste the sky, he organized the displaced people to divide the land and open up the land, and distributed grain seeds to carry out spring ploughing.
No matter how much you keep in the summer, it's better to save some than to sit and eat.
Moreover, after the spring ploughing, the men can continue to participate in the construction of the Moling New Town, while the women, children and the elderly take care of the crops.
When the new homes were built, the people also had their own fertile land and a well-fed life.
There is hope for the future, and there is hope for the people.
The drizzle was like a line, and Long Xiang stood at the head of Moling City in the rain to watch the farming, and this sentence came out inexplicably in his heart, as if he had returned to more than ten years ago, standing on the deserted Hefei city wall.
A similar scene seems to be in a dream.
History has always had amazing coincidences, but this is not the Mandela effect.
Suddenly looking back, I saw Lu Su holding an umbrella and standing not far away waiting.
"Zijing?"
Long Xiang strode with an umbrella, and asked as he went, "Why did you come back again if you didn't stay in Xiangyang?" ”
"I heard that Sun Kuang's persuasion failed?"
Seeing Lu Su talking to him left and right, Long Xiang held the handle of the umbrella and twisted it gently, and the water droplets danced on the top of his head.
"It's expected, you came back so soon, isn't there something important?"
"I know I can't hide it from you, and I know that you like to watch the spring rain, but let's go back to the city to talk, the cold wind in spring blows too much, and it's still easy to catch a cold."
"Okay, talk as you go."
"Hmm."
Lu Su said that there was no war in Jingzhou, Guan Yu was resting and preparing at this time, Cao Ren was staying in Wancheng and did not move, and Long Xiang played Zhuge Jin to be allowed to be the Taishou of Lujiang, but his suggestion to the four counties of Jingnan had unexpected results.
"What? Let me supervise the four counties of Jingnan? It's not."
Long Xiang suddenly stopped, implying that he was a Yangzhou pastor, and then supervising Jingnan seemed to be a little out of bounds.
Even if Guan Yu can't make a move, Xiangyang has Liu Ye, Xu Shu, and Pang Tong Zhimou, and they can't be competent if they pick any one?
Lu Su stopped and turned to the side, the smile on his face looked mysterious.
"Whether it is Your Majesty or Uncle Huang, they are very optimistic about Yunqi, Uncle Huang's original words are 'don't bother the two masters', and he even asked you to recommend Jiang Xia Taishou to take office."
"This"
After hearing this, Long Xiang froze directly, and froze for a moment before continuing to move forward, but after walking a few steps, he stopped again, turned his head and asked: "Since the imperial uncle accepts Miss Sun as a concubine, and the Sun family is already in-law, you said that if you use troops against Sun Quan, do you want to ask for instructions in advance?" ”
"Ugh."
Lu Su replied bitterly: "It's all to blame for my mouthfulness at the time, if you don't send her to Beijing, you won't have this trouble, whether you ask for instructions or not, you should send a messenger first and then persuade you." ”
"It's okay, I'll send Sun Kuang as an envoy again."
"In addition, Jiangxia is too empty for several months, Yunqi has to recommend someone to take office as soon as possible, which is conducive to the integration of Jingnan, and you can also get back Lingling as soon as possible, do you have a candidate in mind?"
"This is the Jiangxia war, most of the people are in other places, the top priority is to restore the people's livelihood, but this place is in the waterway, the county guard must not only be proficient in internal affairs, but also understand some military affairs"
At the end of Long Xiang's words, he suddenly stroked his beard and paused, followed by the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and said with a smile: "I know who to recommend."
"Huh?"
Lu Su saw Long Xiang smiling at himself, and thought that the other party was planning to recommend him, after all, the Yangzhou Navy wanted to support Guan Yu.
But the candidate in Long Xiang's heart is Lu Dai, if Lu Su is transferred from Wu County to Jiangxia to serve as Taishou, there is a feeling of demotion in the eyes of outsiders.
A few days later, Sun Kuang and Lu Dai came to Moling one after another.
Lu Dai was deeply moved by Long Xiang's support, and after a little preparation, he took his troops to Jiangxia to take up his post, but Sun Kuang's refusal surprised Long Xiang.
When Sun Quan's true thoughts were clarified, Long Xiang agreed to send Sun Kuang and Sun Lang to Chang'an on the spot, and sent Yu Tuo to express his feelings and ask Liu Bei for instructions, and at the same time ordered all arms to fight.
Long Xiang had not planned to use troops against Sun Quan immediately because of the shortage of food due to the disaster, but the imperial court asked him to supervise the four counties of Jingnan, so he had a source of grain and grass.
Chop the grass without removing the roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows.
In spring and April, the sun replaces the drizzle and dominates the sky.
Yu went to Chang'an and did not return, and Jiangxia Lu Dai arrived first.
Lingling's soldiers and horses have marched towards Guiyang.
Sun Quan used practical actions to show that he would not surrender.
