Zhuge was reborn, killed the old thief Sima

Chapter 648 Final Preparations (Second Update)
Ma Su and Mi Fang completely formed a fugitive duo.

Both of them knew Zhuge Liang relatively well, and Prime Minister Zhuge Ruo, who knew this good and upright teacher, knew what they had done.

I'm afraid I won't let them off lightly.

Therefore, Ma Di chose to escape very wisely. He felt that this time he did not make a huge mistake or lost his way to the Western Regions after being defeated.

After hiding for a while, he could return to the Prime Minister's side after he calmed down.

Of course, his good wishes were directly declared shattered after he got closer and closer to Mi Fang.

"You Chang, I've known for a long time that you have great talent. I didn't realize it before, so I'm quite disrespectful to you. Please don't take offense to it, You Chang!"

"You Chang, you are a great talent. This small tribe is disrespectful to us and should be slaughtered with the anger of the common people. I wonder what you can do, You Chang?"

"Youchang, you really have a talent as good as the Prime Minister. You see, a certain family wants to send these things to the caravan in Liaodong.

What can you do? "

"Oh, You Chang, you are really a born genius. You did such a thing so well for the first time. I really admire you, I admire you!"

In this way, Ma Su slowly lost himself in the boasts of "Young Chang", "Great Talent", "Born God" and "Young Hero".

Not only did he help Mi Fang make plans, he even helped Mi Fang directly complete his new trade route in northern Xinjiang without knowing it.

This trade route includes, but is not limited to, entering Hebei from the beautiful women from the Western Regions.

Liquor was transported from Liaodong to Yongliang and Yizhou.

They drove cattle, sheep and horses from northern Xinjiang into Chang'an of the Three Qin Dynasty.

The iron ore from Bingzhou entered the hands of Liaodong and even the Cao family.
Especially the last one. When Zhuge Liang learned about this incident, he took advantage of the situation and investigated his subordinates.

I found that there were indeed many borers that had been taken down by some people without knowing it.

The huge armament system has almost become a joke.

From then on, the butcher's knife was held high, and the general master craftsman Pu Yuan was arrested and imprisoned on the spot. At the same time, the whole family was controlled by Zhou Buyi.

Another famous Han craftsman, Guo Da, was also directly captured.

They, their craftsmen, and the officials in charge were immediately put under control.

Although Pu Yuan, Guo Da and their families were not really harmed by this killing, it still made them fearful for two months.

More than forty of the officials and craftsmen involved were beheaded, so hundreds of people were convicted.

In particular, officials led to another purge of the court. Yuan Huan and Pan Jun, who were already old, and Dong He all took action.

The minister's servant She Ma Liang and the old minister Mi Zhu knelt in front of Liu Bei for most of the day, not daring to raise their heads.

If it weren't for the fear of others laughing at them, the names of those two beasts would have been removed from the family.

Even Mi Zhu, who had never worn armor or carried a gun since joining Liu Bei's army, rushed out this time wearing armor himself and holding a bow and crossbow.

He was so frightened that his children and grandchildren almost didn't invite him to take out the Mi family's ancestral tablet.
While Northern Xinjiang and Chang'an were dealing with internal affairs in a tense manner, the situation in Jingzhou was also very different.

Zhuge Liang overcame all objections and transferred Pang Tong from Xiangyang back to Jingzhou. In addition to his original post of Shaofu in the court, he added the position of Jingzhou governor.

Then concentrate on dealing with the dilapidated situation in Jingzhou.

And Pang Tong has indeed proved to everyone in recent years why he can be as famous as Zhuge Liang.

It wasn't because of his status and family that allowed him to dominate the scene in Jingzhou, but because beyond his original military strategy and vision, his extraordinary political ability was comparable to that of Zhuge Liang.

If Zhuge Liang governs the place comprehensively and can do everything well silently.So watching Pang Tong handle government affairs can make people excited and hard to calm down.

In one morning, Pang Tong was stunned to deal with a month's backlog of official documents in the entire Nan County.

This ranges from dredging rivers, counting populations, resettling refugees, to trivial fights among people.

Pang Tong could almost do three things at once: listening, writing by hand, and speaking in different ways without any omissions.

The Jingzhou government office headed by Pang Tong directly reorganized the situation in Jingzhou that had turned into mud.

Generals such as Guan Ping and Li Yan were also able to train their soldiers with peace of mind and handle many matters.

In a few years, although Jingzhou had more than [-] soldiers and mountains of food and grass when Liu Jingsheng ruled it, it was incomparable.

But at least the number of people who starve to death every year is not as terrible as it once was.

The overall situation began to recover slowly, and taxation matters also began to recover slowly. Although I dare not say what kind of feedback was given, it can be regarded as self-sufficient.

The re-draining of the river has also restored the fertility of Jingzhou's fields.

However, this peaceful day had a problem at this time.

"News came from Zhou Buyi. Cao Zhen, whom Kong Ming has always paid attention to, has indeed appeared in Yangzhou.

After Xiahou Dun's death, Cao Xiu has been in charge of the Jianghuai affairs all these years, and has taken over many Jiangdong soldiers and horse generals one after another.

Jiangdong had trouble sleeping and eating. He originally thought that the one Cao Jun would attack Jiangdong this time would be Cao Xiu's junior.

I never thought it was Cao Zhen."

After Pang Tong finished speaking, he couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle while looking at the news letter.

"The Cao family is really lucky. The former Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, and Cao Zhang were thought to be rare young talents in the Cao family.

An internal fight will affect all three of them to some extent.

But I never thought that there would be so many branches of the Cao family that were so outstanding.

I already know what Cao Xiu is capable of.

But what ability does Cao Zhen have that makes Kong Ming care so much? "

As the governor of Jingzhou, Pang Tong certainly not only wanted to govern Jingzhou, but more importantly, he wanted to find opportunities to seize the land east of Jiangdong.

Today, there is no need for the Cao family to attack Jiangdong by force.

Even Cao's attitude towards Jiangdong can be said to be to support the scholars in order to win over Jiangdong, and to let Jiangdong not only pull Liu Bei's back behind his back.

After all, after the last war, even if Lu Xun finally succeeded in rescuing Jiangdong's life by force, it still could not change the reality that Jiangdong's losses were too serious.

Now he doesn't want to attack Hefei, let alone Zhang Liao now, even if Cao Pi removes a large part of Huaisi's defense line.

He Jiangdong is no longer dangerous to Cao's Jianghuai.

but!

Cao Pi and his ministers also understood very well that they could keep Jiangdong, but they absolutely could not let Jiangdong return to Liu Bei.

So when Pang Tong began to plan for Jiangdong, Cao Zhen had already begun to intervene.
