Jia Xu looked in the direction of Wei Xuan's finger, and saw a city standing quietly in the setting sun, and couldn't help asking, "Lord, this is Xiangyang?"

Compared to ordinary county towns, this castle in front of me is nothing special. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoJia Xu is a little strange, what kind of new Xiangyang does Wei Xuan want to build?

Wei Xuan nodded and said, "Wen He, you see, Xiangyang is surrounded by water on three sides and faces mountains on one side. If this city is expanded several times, then according to the topography of the Han water as a pool, the width of the pool can reach dozens of zhang, even if there are thousands of troops and horses, it is difficult to cross it. If we set up a place for troops and train troops on this mountain, and build a pass, it will surely become easy to defend and difficult to attack. ”

Jia Xu frowned and said: "The lord should have the world in his heart, and he can't stick to one city. ”

Wei Xuan shook his head and said: "If the foundation is not solid, why fight for the world? It is time for me to build a high wall, to store up grain, and to slow down my reign. First set Jingzhou, Xu Tu Jiangdong, Fu Ke Bashu, and then can settle the world. ”

In fact, Wei Xuan from the 21st century knows very well that in the thousands of years of Chinese history, there has always been a pattern of strong north and weak south. The reason for this is that there is a lack of places to raise horses in the south, and cavalry is the most powerful branch of the army in this era. However, Wei Xuan's goal is not really to fight the world and become an emperor, but just to create an ocean-going sailor who can cross the sea as soon as possible. If you want to train a sailor, there is no better place than Koto. Therefore, Wei Xuan was keen to come to Xiangyang, and he was the first to think of occupying Jiangdong.

Where did Jia Xu know Wei Xuan's thoughts, he just heard the blueprint drawn by Wei Xuan, and his heart was excited, and he arched his hand and said: "The lord has a vision, and his subordinates are not as good." ”

Wei Xuan smiled: "Okay, let's wake up the evil and Gongming first." ”

Jia Xu suddenly remembered the question at the beginning, and said in surprise: "Lord, how did we come here?"

Wei Xuan said nonsense: "The day before yesterday, I had a dream, and there was an immortal in the dream who said that Wei's family and subordinates would be trapped in a few days, and they could help defend a certain arm in a drunken dream, and Wei was drunk with you." When Wei woke up, he had already arrived at this cottage. ”

Although Wei Xuan said it superbly, the people at that time were superstitious, Jia Xu became excited, and said repeatedly: "The lord has immortals to help, why worry about the big thing!"

Wei Xuan said with a smile: "Let's talk about it after it doesn't work, wake everyone up first, and enter Xiangyang as soon as possible." ”

There was a ready-made spring water in the cottage, and Dian Wei, Xu Huang and the other sergeants quickly woke up. Wei Xuan also woke up Cai Yong, Xun Shuang, Cai Yan and others, and the whole cottage suddenly became lively. Everyone was very surprised at how they could suddenly appear here, and Wei Xuan couldn't help but repeat the reason he had just made up.

Hearing that Wei Xuan had the help of immortals, even Cai Yan couldn't suppress his excitement, let alone those soldiers with a rough temperament. Suddenly, the three armies thundered with joy and their morale was greatly boosted.

Wei Xuan took the opportunity to say: "From now on, you should follow the way of heaven and stop disturbing the people!"

All promised.

Wei Xuan asked Zhang Dong to lead a dozen horsemen into the city to meet Cai Mao first, and he himself led a group of people and vehicles, and then left.

......

After Wang Rui's death, Jingzhou was left without an owner for a while, and Cai Mao was temporarily in charge of Jingzhou's affairs. After Guo Yong's death, Wang Rui wanted to take the power of Nanjun in his hands, so he never appointed a new Taishou. At this time, the affairs of the entire South County were actually temporarily represented by Cai Mao.

Hearing that the new Jingzhou Thorn Shi was Wei Xuan, and he had already arrived outside Xiangyang City, Cai Mao was surprised. But Zhang Dong was his own cousin, and he naturally believed in Zhang Dong's words, and hurriedly summoned the people of the Assassin Shi Yamen and the Nanjun Taishou Mansion to greet him.

Of course, Cai Mao knows very well that with the arrival of Wei Xuan, his powers will come to an end. However, when Wei Xuan was in Xiangyang last year, Cai Mao was attentive to hospitality. Therefore, for Wei Xuanlai to be the assassin of Jingzhou, Cai Mao not only did not resist, but still had a little expectation.

Because it was getting late, only a very brief welcome ceremony was held at the gate of the city, and Wei Xuan entered Xiangyang City surrounded by a group of civil and military personnel. The last time he came to Xiangyang City, he was Cai Mao's guest, but this time he became the lord of the entire Jingzhou. The world is changing, and it's really emotional.

That night, Wei Xuan hosted a banquet for officials of Jingzhou and Nanjun and the local celebrities and nobles in Xiangyang. The purchase of the banquet is naturally Cai Mao's one-handed work, and Wei Xuan does not need to bother.

During the banquet, Wei Xuan asked about the situation in Jingzhou.

Cai Mao got up and said: "When Wang Rui was appointed to Jingzhou, the government decree did not go out of Nanjun, and the county guards did not obey his orders. There are more than 50 large and small clans, each with its own militia, although the county guard cannot be controlled. After Changsha Taishou Sun Jian led the army north, there was a village thief Su Dai who proclaimed himself Taishou, and the Huarong thief Kou Beiyu was a harm. When the lord first came to Jingxiang, he slowly figured it out. ”

These words made it very clear that if Wei Xuan wanted to control the entire Jingzhou, he needed to solve three things first. The first is the submission of the county guards, the second is the local clan power, and the third is the two thieves, the most difficult of which is the clan problem. Because the clan is different from the wang clan, the wang clan is a famous family among the scholars, while the clan is a gathering with the same surname, and most of them are ordinary people. The clan leaders had great prestige among the people, and when they raised their arms, they would rise up in response. And the common people are the foundation of all industries, and civil chaos is chaos in everything.

Wei Xuan groaned: "Wei went to Xiangyang twice, and met thieves twice. If the thieves are not eliminated, the people will not be appeased. Su Dai and Bei Yu are rampant, who can get rid of Wei Mou?"

When Wang Rui was in office, the two thieves of Su Dai and Bei Yu had become the climate. Su Dai is in Changsha, and Wang Rui's whip is out of reach, but Bei Yu is under his nose, and he is also resigned. Wang Rui's Jingzhou assassination history is incompetent, Wei Xuan is not willing to be as muddy as him, and the first thing he does when he takes office is to eliminate these two thieves.

The generals of Jingzhou, you look at me, I look at you, but no one answered for a while. Suddenly, one of the last people stood up and said: "The last general is not talented, I would like to invite five hundred elite soldiers to kill Bei Yu!"

Cai Mao looked back and couldn't help but scold: "Wei Yan, you are a nobody, how can you talk here!"

Wei Xuan waved his hand and said, "Wen Chang is brave, he can take on this responsibility!"

Cai Mao hurriedly persuaded: "Wei Yanxin has recently commanded the army, without a battle, I have many good generals in Jingzhou, and I also ask the lord to choose another meritorious." ”

Wei Xuan dispatched troops for the first time, so he naturally wanted to act arbitrarily, and immediately shook his head and said: "Wei and Wen Chang are old acquaintances, they know their abilities, and it is easy to kill Bei Yu, and De Jue is not suspicious!" and said: "Order, Wei Yan led five hundred cavalry each, and went to Huarong in the starry night, and the head of Bei Yu was limited to three days to come to see him, otherwise the military law will be engaged!"

Wei Yan was overjoyed and said, "The last general will obey the order!"

Two more generals got up and said together: "The last general is willing to go to Changsha and capture Su Dai!"
