Chapter 146 Ju County

Liu Jing's fleet unfurled its sails, sailed away from Beijin, and traveled southward. After sailing for half a day, they arrived in Xiaowuling Township in the afternoon.

This place is the overnight accommodation for the fleet that he had booked early in the morning. The reason for choosing this place is very simple, Cai Sheng's other troops are stationed in this township.

Arranging Liu Zhu and Wang Qiang to stay behind in the fleet, Liu Jing took Liu Liang, Yu Zheng and Seriously to the other camp.

In fact, he hesitated for a while about whether he should be serious about wearing it, but finally decided to wear it.

Liu Xiuxiu inspected the camp as usual. He wore an iron pocket on his head, two armors on his body, and a wooden prong on his right sleeve.Seeing Liu Jing's sudden arrival, Liu Xiu was quite surprised, and immediately greeted him outside the military gate.

"Zhongda, why are you here?" Liu Xiu asked.After all, Liu Jing was Zhang Xian's close minister. In order to avoid Zhang Xian's suspicion, after the military camp was completed, Liu Jing came here very few times.

Seeing Liu Jing and the battalion general call each other Cong brothers, they stood in the back solemnly and couldn't help thinking.

Liu Jing said: "I was promoted by the government as the county magistrate of Xiaolian and Shouling. I happened to pass by here on the way south, so I stopped by to have a look."

Liu Xiu was startled when he heard this, and then sighed: "Zhongda is dissatisfied with the weak crown, so he is called 'Moshou'. It cannot but be admired! If it were placed in ancient times, he would have been a prince."

Mo Shou is the representative name of the county magistrate. What he said is not an exaggeration. In ancient times, a country of sons and men was only a hundred miles away, which is similar to the jurisdiction of a county.

Liu Jing smiled and said: "It all depends on the support of the Lord."

Liu Liang couldn't help but said from the side: "Brother Cong has a great reputation for great talent, Liu Jingzhou has been established several times, and finally Xu Yiju Maocai, Dangyang Ling. Dangyang Ling is the county magistrate, no matter how you look at it, it is from brother It’s right to be at a disadvantage, how can it be said that it is the support of the prince?”

Liu Liang is sixteen this year. Since he started following Liu Jing, his body has grown rapidly and he is already seven feet tall. He looks like an adult, except that his face is a little immature.

In the past year, he has not only grown up physically, he has studied and practiced swords every day, and he has grown tremendously.

"Is there such a thing?" Liu Xiu was deeply moved when he heard it.

Liu Jing deserves to be praised by the family as the person who can prosper the whole family, but he actually attracted Liu Biao and Zhang Xian to compete for it.

"Compared to Dangyang, I'd rather go to Ling County." Liu Jing said again: "Let's go to the camp first, and then talk in detail."

After all, like the master of the barracks, he walked side by side with Liu Xiu, stepped on the plank, crossed the wide trench, and entered the camp.

Seriously following Liu Jing closely, he was full of doubts. He knew that Liu Jing and Cai Sheng had a very close relationship, and he also knew that Ma Zhou was also in this barracks. He thought that Liu Jing came this time to visit the two of them, and his words and deeds can be seen. How can you behave like a guest?

"Could it be...?" Seriously, he had a vague guess in his heart, but he was not sure yet.

Liu Jing strolled in the camp, kept looking around, remembering the first time he came here, because the camp was built in a short period of time, although it was as fortified as a military camp, it looked like an unfinished construction site.

It looks much better now, with the fence as the wall, buildings and barracks everywhere, well-organized, and the school grounds have been leveled, it finally has the look that a military camp should have.

Whether it is the soldiers on the sculls on the gate wall or the soldiers on patrol in the camp, they all wear pockets, quilts, and vines on their legs. They are in good physical condition and mental outlook. After more than half a year of training, they are no longer mob.

The problem now is that this team is extremely lacking in actual combat experience. Except for the 300 people who followed him to the north and fought against the bandits on the river, the others have never fought at all, and the team that has not passed the test of iron and blood is very It's hard to call it elite.

Liu Jing crossed half of the barracks, but he still didn't see Cai Sheng and Ma Zhou. He turned his head and asked Liu Xiu, "Brother Cong, where are Hong Chao and Zi Jin? Why didn't we see them?"

Speaking of the two of them, Liu Xiu replied with a smile: "The two of them have been in charge of the army during the day and studying at night, and they have never stopped. At this time, the two of them must be studying in the dormitory."

Liu Jing showed a gratified smile on his face and said: "I didn't expect them to work so hard. It's all thanks to you, Brother Cong."

Liu Xiu shook his head and said: "They used to study hard, but they didn't work so hard. They went to the north with you, and their attitude changed a lot after they came back. They study hard every day."

Liu Jing immediately understood that this incident must have something to do with Gan Ning.

Cai Sheng is such a confident and proud person. He claims to be the best swordsman in Changsha, but he was defeated by Gan Ning when he came out of Changsha. Moreover, Gan Ning is not a simple martial artist. very high.

It can be said that Cai Sheng is not as good as Gan Ning in all aspects. If he does not know how to catch up at this time, it can only prove that he is a person who is willing to be ordinary.The same is true for Ma Zhou.

Before arriving at the camp, Liu Jing opened the door first and entered. Then he saw Cai Sheng and Ma Zhou were respectively engrossed in their studies, and they were too engrossed to even notice his arrival.

"Hongchao, Zijin..."

It wasn't until Liu Jing made a sound that the two realized it later, and they stood up together and said, "Liu Jun..."

Hearing that Liu Jing was appointed magistrate of Ling County, Ma Zhou's disorganized eyebrows trembled, and he said with joy: "Liu Jun, you know that I am from Leiyang, and the distance between my hometown and Ling County is only two hundred miles. I am very familiar with it, it is located at the junction of the three counties, there are bandits, Jingman, and bandits all over the place, Liu Jun should not go to danger alone."

When Ma Yiyi opened his mouth, Liu Jing knew what was going on in his heart, and asked with a half-smile, "Oh? Then what do you think?"

Ma Zhou chuckled and said, "Why don't I lead hundreds of soldiers and escort Liu Jun to his post?"

Liu Jing squinted at him, revealing his intentions: "Then you take the opportunity to lead your troops back to your hometown to avenge your revenge?"

Ma Zhou said loudly, "Confucius said: 'Repay kindness with kindness, and repay grievances with honesty.' A man should take revenge when he has revenge. What's wrong?"

Liu Jing smiled and said: "I don't want Zijin to study for a long time, but he already knows how to use the words of a sage."

"Liu Jun..."

Liu Jing raised his hand to stop Ma Zhou, and said: "As you said before, the situation in Ling County is complicated and dangerous. You will lead a hundred soldiers to follow me south tomorrow. When the situation in Ling County is stable, I will naturally let you go back to your hometown." revenge."

"Thank you, Mr. Liu." Ma Zhouxi said.

Liu Xiu frowned and said, "Ling County is a famous 'theater county' in Changsha, there are often troubles, why don't you bring more soldiers."

Counties in the Han Dynasty were divided into Juxian County and Ping County. The so-called Juxian County was a county with heavy government affairs and difficult governance, while Ping County was the opposite.

Liu Jing shook his head and said: "At the beginning of taking office, there is no need to be too high-profile, one hundred soldiers are enough."
