Chapter 322 Between stabilizing Jiaozhou and making choices ([-]th update)

After returning to Jiaozhou, Guan Yu immediately began a series of deployments on the border.

He immediately sent someone to contact Gan Ning of Jiangxia and asked him to temporarily deploy troops and horses to increase the pressure on Chai Sang to prevent Jiaozhou from being attacked by the Sun family.

At the same time, he sent an order to Jingzhou again, hoping that Jingzhou could dispatch troops and horses.
This time, Pan Jun still didn't stop him foolishly.

On the one hand, the news was passed to Hanzhong to tell Liu Bei, and on the other hand, troops and horses were dispatched from Jingnan to Jiaozhou.

A large number of soldiers and horses, including Fu Xu from Changsha and Shamoke from Wuling, were mobilized, and then entered Jiaozhou one after another to help Guan Yu deploy his defenses.

And Guan Yu personally sat in Longchuan, suppressing Jiaonan on the one hand, and watching the Jiangdong soldiers in Luling and Kuaiji on the other hand.

At the same time, Xue Zong suggested that there were many famous people in Jiaozhou who were avoiding trouble, and he hoped that Guan Yu could conquer them in the name of Liu Bei.

Among them, the Huan family, a wealthy family in Jiaozhi County, took the initiative to seek refuge. Brothers such as Huan Zhi and Huan Lin were all talented people in Jiaozhou.

He is also someone who is very familiar with Jiaozhou.

At Huan Lin's suggestion, Guan Yu appointed Liu Zan as the commander of the bandits, and sent troops to strangle the rebellion in Jiaozhou.

For example, Liu Yan, a subordinate of Zhu Fu's command, and Qu Jing, a member of the Zhan tribe who committed crimes, were all wiped out one by one by Liuzan.

Zhang Min, under Yuan Shixie, and Huan Zhi led troops to besiege Fanmiao in Jiuzhen County, but were defeated by Fanmiao.

Among them, Zhang Min was unfortunately killed by a poisonous arrow. After hearing the news, Guan Yu was furious and ignored the dissuasion of his generals.

He immediately led his troops in person, and within five days, he defeated several cities in Jiuzhen County. In the end, he proposed to kill only the culprit and not the others.

Jiuzhen Fanmiao tried to resist but was assassinated by his subordinates, who chopped off his head and finally opened the city gate to welcome Guan Yu in.

And Guan Yu never blamed the people of Jiuzhen as promised, but just took down all those Miao Manmen.
After Guan Yu returned to the army, he transferred Ma Liang to Jiuzhen County to manage the local area. At the same time, because of Xue Zongyan, the Jiaozhou law was abolished for a long time.

The people were uneasy, so they wrote to Jiang Xia specially to transfer Yuan Huan to Jiaozhou.

If it weren't for Guan Yu's fear that he couldn't help but kill Pan Jun with a sword, Guan Yu actually felt that Pan Jun was the most suitable person to govern Jiaozhou.

Integrity, cruelty, killing without blinking an eye
At the same time, on the recommendation of Huan Lin, Guan Yu released Huan Ye from prison and appointed him as the chief administrator of Jiaozhou.

Then he was rejected without mercy.
For this reason, Guan Yu almost took care of the Huan family as well.

However, Guan Yu was quite pleased with Huan Ye's arrogance of not being indulging in his meal.

Later, Liu Xi, Xue Zong's mentor, was recruited to serve as an official, but he was also rejected. However, he sent his disciple Shi Chengbing, who was also Shi Xie's subordinate, to encourage learning in Jiaozhou.

Teach the people of Jiaozhou how to behave.

Guan Yu's request to recruit a famous scholar, Yuan Hui, was also rejected, but fortunately, there was a letter sent by Xun Yue, which prevented Yuan Hui from tearing Guan Yu's face too badly.

Finally, under Guan Yu's conquest and the persuasion of Xun Yue and others, these hermits were finally willing to follow the example of Yingchuan in Jiaozhou.

Open schools to teach the people
After doing all this, what's left in Jiaozhou are bandits, foreigners, and the so-called Guan Yu's religion.

For these, it is not something that can be achieved overnight, it can only be done slowly.

After Guan Yu pacified Jiaozhou, Liu Bei also fooled the envoys from Yizhou back.

Faced with Liu Zhang's move to demand Hanzhong, Liu Bei did not immediately fall out with him, but instead sent a message to Mi Fang, Zhang Song and others in Chengdu.

Let them speak kindly to Liu Zhang. It will take time for the people of Hanzhong to migrate.

Then Ma Chao is his ally and must not be ignored
The army is exhausted and needs to rest temporarily in Hanzhong.
These reasons are hard to believe at first sight, but Hanzhong is now in Liu Bei's hands, and the two sides have not broken up with each other.The most important thing is that Liu Zhang is still satisfied with the many benefits he has received and has not broken free from joy.

Zheng Du, Wang Lei and others were not with him.

Even though Wang Lei urged him day and night, Liu Bei simply turned a deaf ear to his words.

In the end, Wang Lei had no choice but to accuse Liu Zhang.
Although Zhuge Liang got in touch with Ma Chao when he entered the land of Yongliang, Ma Chao and Cao Mengde were at war.

He also didn't want any accidents to happen in his rear, so he temporarily stationed Zhuge Liang in Wuzhangyuan and prohibited him from intervening in the war.

Kong Ming didn't have any objections to this.

He directly ordered Huang Zhong to disperse with his generals and start cleaning up the surrounding Qiang, Hu and Di tribes.

Except for the Qiang, Hu and Di people who were officially loyal to Ma Chao, everyone else was Zhuge Liang's target.

Of course, he was not looking for trouble wantonly, but took this opportunity to expand his troops and recruit some Qiang, Hu and Di people as well as local rangers.

By the way, let them get familiar with the battlefield of Yongliang to avoid big problems later.

This should be his last bit of free time.

It is also a rare time for Zhuge Liang to adjust all the forces his lord has now.

"Sir." Zhou Buyi once again brought over a bunch of documents from the Chinese army tent in Wuzhangyuan, "This is news from the rear, and the students have already sorted it out."

"Put it down, just put it down first." Zhuge Liang, who was analyzing the map, arranged for Zhou Buji to put down his things without looking back, and then called to his side.

"At this time, General Guan has completely captured Jiaozhou. Although there are still many problems, I can feel at ease with Yao Qing going there.

Although Jiaozhou is wild, it is not a big problem after all. It is just that the laws are weak and the people are ignorant.

There are many hermits from Jiaozhou who teach the people, Yaoqing who organizes the laws, and Yunchang who guards the place.

The only problem is Koto
The same is true for Jingzhou on the other side. I still need a lot of time to wait.

The entire territory of Jingzhou is in our hands, but north of the Han River is mostly plains. The last time Cao Mengde conquered the north was not long ago.

Although there are many cavalry under his command, they are not the main force under his command, and we can still stand in a stalemate with him.

Now that the north has been stabilized, if Cao Mengde gets the land of Yongliang again, his cavalry will definitely become the main force.

If they fight again, the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou will not be so relaxed. "

Zhuge Liang kept his gaze in the direction of Jingzhou for a long time, but in the end he still couldn't think of any good solution.

He could only sigh silently, and finally turned his gaze back to Yongliang and Hanzhong where he was now.

"Hanzhong has now fallen into our hands, but you can't have both Xichuan and Yongliang."

Xichuan is the land of granaries and their best rear area.

Yongliang was the springboard for their attack, and it was the only place where they could obtain war horses and fight with Cao Mengde.

Both of these places are very important to them, but these two places put Zhuge Liang into a tangle.

Don't know how to choose.
