Wei Xuan's six senses are keen, he has already heard the cry of the fisherman, how dare he stay in place and wait for someone to catch it, dive to the bottom of the lake, have avoided more than five miles, and start to run the water quenching method refining body again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 From then on, Wei Xuan practiced at the bottom of the lake for three hours every night, practiced the flying of the sword for half an hour, and practiced innate magic skills or rested on the couch during the day.

It is also from this day that the fishermen on Dongting Lake often see people flying around on the surface of the lake in the middle of the night, and then sinking to the bottom of the lake. There are even people who set up a dragon king temple by the lake, and pay tribute at four o'clock to pray for good weather and good weather.

Of course, this situation only lasted for half a month, and Wei Xuan left Dongting Lake and came to Changsha City. Because Wuling County and its subordinate twelve counties have all been conquered by Wen Ping and others, Cao Yin himself has also been taken prisoner. It turned out that Liu Du, the Taishou of Lingling, and Zhao Dian, the Taishou of Guiyang, who were still on the sidelines, were afraid and took the initiative to surrender. At this time, Wei Xuan's water quenching method also entered the peak of the second realm. As long as you perform the exercises, your body will be surrounded by two light blue circles.

After coming to Changsha, Wei Xuan held a banquet in the county guard mansion to entertain Liu Du and Zhao Dian, escorted Cao Yin during the banquet, ordered to be sentenced to car splitting, and appointed Xun Shuang as the Wuling Taishou.

Liu Du and Zhao Dian were shocked, and fell to their knees together, begging for forgiveness. It's no wonder they were panicked, when Wei Xuan asked them to go to Xiangyang, they were all the same as Cao Yin, prevaricating and delaying, but they didn't follow Cao Yin to rebel.

Wei Xuan smiled and helped the two of them up, and said: "The one who knows the times is Junjie, and the two adults took the initiative to vote, how could Wei add to the crime in vain? After the two adults returned to the county, they should still work with peace of mind." However, the soldiers, horses, money, and food must be delivered in full. ”

After handing over the money, food, soldiers and horses, the real power of Taishou was greatly weakened. However, how can a person not bow his head under a low eaves? Moreover, their wealth is not reduced, they can still dispatch a small number of soldiers in their hands, and they are still the highest commanders in the locality, and these are better than losing their lives. After figuring it out, Liu Du and Zhao Dian calmed down a lot and completely accepted the reality.

So far, Wei Xuan has controlled the entire territory of Jingzhou in just one month, gathered soldiers and horses from various counties, and obtained a total of 20,000 horse troops, 30,000 naval troops, and 100,000 infantry troops, and his strength has directly reached the top level among the princes of all walks of life.

After returning to Xiangyang, Wei Xuan redeployed the soldiers and horses. Xu Huang led 10,000 horse troops and 20,000 infantry troops to be stationed in Tunnanyang, Huang Zhong led 5,000 horse troops and 20,000 infantry troops to be stationed in Tunchangsha, and 20,000 Wenpin water troops were stationed in Tunjiangxia. In addition, 20,000 people who are skilled in water were selected in the infantry army to enrich the water army, and a total of 30,000 water troops were handed over to Gan Ning to command, and a water village was set up in Dongting Lake for strict training. In the infantry army, 5,000 elite soldiers were selected to enrich the horse army, a total of 10,000 horse troops and 35,000 infantry troops were handed over to Wei Yan and Huang Shot to command, and a village was set up in the west of Xiangyang City, and the exercises were performed day and night. The military horses stationed in the tun and the military horses in training are rotated every three months. In fact, Wei Xuan values cavalry the most, after all, this is the era of cold weapons. It's a pity that there is a shortage of war horses, and there is no suitable place to raise horses in Jingzhou, so he has nothing to do.

However, after Wei Xuan took control of Nanyang, the passage between Jingzhou and Chang'an and Luoyang had been completely opened, and he immediately sent Jia Xu to Xiliang to buy horses. Jia Xu was originally from the Xiliang clan, and it was most appropriate for him to handle this matter. Although Chang'an and Luoyang were under Dong Zhuo's control, Wei Xuan still nominally belonged to Dong Zhuo's camp, and Dong Zhuo was inconvenient to make things difficult for him.

In addition to horses, Wei Xuan is also short of talent. When he was in Changsha, Wei Xuan had already thought of Yingchuan Academy. Yingchuan is close to Luoyang, and the tiger and wolf nature of the Liang army in the west will suffer from its scourge sooner or later, and Yingchuan Academy may not be able to last. Wei Xuan wrote a letter and sent Zhang Dong to invite Mr. Shuijing Sima Hui to come to Xiangyang to prepare for the establishment of the academy, and at the same time invited Xun Yu, Xun Chen, Guo Jia, Guo Tu, Chen Qun and others.

......

After three days of busyness, Wei Xuan took a breath and returned to the back house.

Cai Yan didn't have any complaints, helped Wei Xuan make tea, and said: "Lang Jun works hard for political affairs, and it is beyond reproach, but Lang Jun should not be biased in treating his subordinates. ”

Wei Xuan said strangely: "Zhaoji, what have you heard?"

Cai Yan smiled and said: "The concubine should not ask about Lang Jun, but Cai Beijia's sister has the same surname as the concubine, and often counts in front of the concubine that her brother is not ambitious." I think that Cai Beijia and Lang Jun are old acquaintances, and they help Lang Jun to overcome Changsha's merits, but there is no reward. For a long time, the heart of the cold soldiers. The concubine is vain, and I hope that Lang Jun will not blame him. ”

As the old saying goes, women are not allowed to interfere in politics. But Wei Xuan is from the 21st century, and there is no discrimination against women. What's more, sooner or later, his footprints will have to travel all over the five continents, and it is impossible to be trapped in the palace like the ancient emperors, and if his woman is just a vase, he will not be at ease. Allowing Cai Yan to properly participate in political affairs actually outweighs the disadvantages for Wei Xuan to stabilize his rule.

Thinking of this, Wei Xuan smiled and said, "De Jue is in a hurry. Since Madame spoke for him, she entrusted him to be a Nanjun Taishou, and there was an important matter for him to do right now. ”

In fact, the reason why Wei Xuan has not used Cai Mao is still influenced by Romance. In the romance, Cai Mao is almost useless except for knowing some methods of water warfare, and he is also a capitulator who is greedy for life and afraid of death. However, after a period of contact, Wei Xuan felt that Cai Mao was not as described in the romance, and he still had some talents. As for Cai Mao's surrender to Cao Cao in history, it shows that he knows how to judge the situation. Even without Cai Yan's intercession, Wei Xuan already had a plan to use Cai Mao.

Of course, the matter of using Cai Mao was spread through Cai Yan, and Cai Mao owed Cai Yan a favor. Favor debts are the most difficult debts to pay off, and Cai Mao inevitably has to obey Cai Yan's orders. And the Cai family is the leading family in Xiangyang, and it naturally doesn't hurt for Cai Yan to get this help.

Where did Cai Yan know Wei Xuan's thoughts, he just said happily: "I'll tell Sister Qiong later, she must be happy." ”

Wei Xuan said strangely: "Who is Sister Qiong?"

Cai Yan smiled: "It's Cai Mao's sister, and the concubine has become a sister with her." ”

Wei Xuan didn't care, nodded and said, "Maybe you were a family five hundred years ago, and this sister did the same." ”

......

That night, Cai Mao, who got the news, was overjoyed and immediately rushed to see Wei Xuan. After all, Jingzhou's seat of governance is in the territory of Nanjun, which shows the importance of Nanjun's status in Jingzhou. And he was able to be the Taishou of Nanjun, and he was already living in seclusion above the Taishou of other counties.

Wei Xuan had expected Cai Mao to come, smiled and pointed to the opposite side of the case, and said, "De Jue is here, sit down first and take a look at this pattern." ”

Cai Mao responded to the promise, sat down opposite Wei Xuan, spread out the book on several cases, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Lord, this is Xiangyang?"

Wei Xuan nodded and said, "The first thing you did after taking office was to expand Xiangyang City!"
