Soldiers come to the world

After discussing for half an hour, everyone got up to leave, Liu Jing gave Jia Xu a wink, Jia Xu understood, so she deliberately walked a step late and stayed.

At this time, Liu Jing was talking about Jingzhou Academy with Kuai Liang, Liu Jing said with a smile: "Jingzhou Academy is very important to our future follow-up talents, I have already talked about this with Xu Changshi, we will fully support the Academy Move back to Xiangyang, but I want to hear your own thoughts."

Kuai Liang quickly said: "Now there are two plans within the academy, one is to move back to Longzhong, and the other is to build an academy in Xiangyang City. The support for these two plans is about the same."

Liu Jing pondered for a moment and asked, "What's Pang Degong's attitude?"

Mr. Pang De is an academic leader in Jingzhou and even the world. His opinion is very important. Even if Liu Jing has an idea, he must be respected first.

"Mr. Pang De does not support moving to Longzhong. He said that there is a Lumen Academy in Longzhong, and Jingzhou Academy is not enough."

Liu Jing laughed. It seems that Duke Pound is smarter than he imagined, knowing the difference between Lumen Academy and Jingzhou Academy.

Liu Jing took out the map of Xiangyang City, spread it on the table, pointed to the southwest corner and said: "This is the old Xiangyang Academy, covering an area of ​​[-] mu, and next to it is the original Cai Zhong's mansion, which is now vacant, covering an area of ​​[-] mu. The Cai’s Sword House in Baihuai Lane covers an area of ​​[-] acres, and there are some scattered buildings, which add up to more than [-] acres. The old academy can be used as the center to rebuild the Xiangyang Academy.”

Kuai Liang was overjoyed. He saw the real support. Liu Jing even chose a place for them. This was not just lip service. He sighed and said: "Everyone is eager to return, and I hope to move back to Xiangyang within this year." [

"It's definitely no problem to move back within the year. Xu Changshi will make arrangements. I usually don't ask about it, but I have a principle for the academy, and I hope Duke Kuai can remember it."

"State pastor, please tell me!"

Liu Jing pondered for a while and said: "Although it is called Jingzhou Academy, I hope it recruits talents from all over the world. Does Kuai Gong understand?"

Kuai Liang nodded, "I understand Zhou Mu's meaning."

At this time, Jia Xu returned to the study. Seeing that they still had important matters to discuss, Kuai Liang got up and left. Liu Jing sent Kuai Liang to him, and when he came back, he said with a smile to Jia Xu: "There is still a little thing to do about Bashu. I want to discuss it with the military division again."

Jia Xu chuckled, "I would like to listen to my lord."

The two sat down, and Liu Jing took out another letter: "This is a secret letter written by Sima Yi to me. Regarding his plan to take Bashu, you should read it first!"

Jia Xu was a little surprised, Liu Jing did not show this letter just now, that is to say, in fact, Liu Jing has another plan to seize Bashu, which is even more top-secret.

Jia Xu took the letter and read it quickly, his brows gradually frowned. Sima Yi had already confirmed in the letter that Liu Zhang would meet with Liu Jing. Capture Bashu.

Jia Xu pondered for a long time and said: "At that time, Qin State did not imprison King Huai of Chu for the purpose of annexing Chu State. It would be inappropriate to simply follow suit. I am worried that if Liu Zhang is imprisoned, the people of Shu will make Liu Zhang's son the new king. If all will be united, they will not be able to take over Shu. , it would be better to take advantage of Liu Zhang's cowardice and stupidity to nibble away at Bashu step by step, which would be more beneficial."

Liu Jing nodded in praise and said: "The military adviser is right. In fact, Sima Yi's other plan is good. If you want to take it, you should give it first. On the surface, return Jianping County and Yidu County to Bashu, and then make friends with Liu Zhang. Confused, I was thinking about the civil strife in Jiangdong this time, whether we can use the civil strife in Jiangdong to make Liu Zhang feel that we intend to go east and continue to confuse him .”

Jia Xu laughed, "This method is not bad, it is used well, and it can really confuse Bashu effectively. I suggest expanding the Chaisang Water Village and deploying heavy troops in Chaisang, especially the warships. Chaisang has formed the momentum of the Eastern Expedition, and I believe there will be spies who will report these details to Liu Zhang in time."

Liu Jing walked a few steps in the room with her hands behind her back, and then said to Jia Xu: "Actually, I am more concerned about the impact of external forces on the situation in Bashu."

'External forces! '

Jia Xu continued to be slightly taken aback, isn't it just Liu Bei?He thought about it, and immediately understood, "Is the lord referring to Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Zhang Lu?"[

Liu Jing nodded, "Actually, Cao Cao's problem is not that big, he has no direct influence on Bashu, the key is Zhang Lu, one south and one north, has a huge impact on Bashu, and will directly affect our capture of Bashu, we must not forget These two powers!"

After a pause, Liu Jing continued: "Actually, Liu Bei is easy to deal with. Liu Zhang intercepted Zhang Song's letter colluding with Liu Bei. He was extremely furious and hoped to join us in attacking Wucheng and pull out Liu Bei's nail to advance westward. As a result, Liu Bei will no longer have the opportunity to go west to Bashu, in fact, I care more about Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, I thought he would definitely not watch the fun from the sidelines."

At this time, Jia Xu laughed and said, "Speaking of Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, the minister has a series of tricks to create conditions for us to win Bashu and Hanzhong."

Liu Jing was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "I would like to hear the details!"

Jia Xu whispered a few words with a smile, and Liu Jing immediately fell into deep thought. After a long time, Liu Jing asked: "If this is the case, Cai Jin's role as the commander-in-chief of Shangyong seems a bit thin."

Jia Xu nodded, "Cai Jin can't take on this important task, Wei Yan is the general of Shangyong."

"Wei Yan?"

Liu Jing was slightly taken aback, and he asked a little puzzled: "Does the military adviser think Wei Yan is feasible? I think Liu Hu is pretty good."

"Weichen will have a talk with Wei Yanshen today, and I believe he will be able to complete this task."

If Liu Jing realized something, he nodded and smiled and said, "Since the military advisor is him, then use him! But Wei Yan is just a drumhead, who does the military advisor think is suitable for drum sticks?"

Jia Xu said casually: "Isn't my lord already ready-made someone?"

Liu Jing laughed, and then ordered the guard outside the door: "Hurry up and call Meng Da to see me!"

Not long after, a burly man in his thirties walked in quickly, knelt down on one knee and cupped his fists and said, "Meng Da pays homage to Zhou Mu!"

Meng Da was originally the captain of Guanghan in Yizhou, and he had a very good relationship with Fazheng. Back then, the two went to Shu together, and together with Fazheng, they were highly valued by Zhang Song. Zhang Song regarded him as his confidant. , Meng Da was also named Guanghan Captain by Zhang Song.

Not long ago, Zhang Song was killed for colluding with Liu Bei. Although Fazheng was not implicated, Meng Da became the first person Liu Zhang wanted to be purged. , Just two days ago, Meng Da secretly arrived in Xiangyang.

Liu Jing quickly helped him up, and said with a smile: "I have a very important task, can General Meng help me?"

Meng Da is an extremely astute person, he immediately bowed and said: "The humble official is willing to serve the state shepherd with his life!"

Liu Jing nodded in satisfaction, this person is quite knowledgeable about current affairs

In the early morning of the next day, Liu Jing slowly entered Fancheng under the escort of hundreds of cavalry. Many years ago, Liu Jing used to be the guard of the south gate of Fancheng, and he always had a special feeling for this city.

Fancheng is very different from the past. The city that used to be the most commercially prosperous city in Jingzhou has also lost its former commercial status for more than a year due to the fall of Cao Jun, and a large number of merchants have moved to Jiangxia.

Although the state government returned to Xiangyang again, Fancheng inevitably began to decline, and it was completely reduced to a vassal city of Xiangyang.

This is also based on strategic considerations. If Fancheng is too prosperous, once Cao Jun goes south again and occupies Fancheng, the blow to Jingzhou will be extremely serious. The downplay of Fancheng's status is also based on this consideration.

The biggest change is the decrease in population. At its peak, Fancheng had a population of 16, but now the population is less than [-], which has been reduced by more than half.

The crowds on the street were gone, and the street was deserted and deserted. Although the taverns and shops were still open, there were obviously few customers. The enthusiastic bartenders in the past were sitting chatting in front of the gate.

The new county magistrate of Fancheng is Lu Sheng, an old acquaintance of Liu Jing, who was the head bookmaker of the Tourist Payment Office. He once served as the county magistrate of Yangxin County, and has just been appointed as the county magistrate of Fancheng County.

He followed Liu Jing and introduced to Liu Jing: "The population in Fancheng is about 7 now, and some will return. I estimate it will be around [-]. And as Xiangyang gets on the right track, Fancheng will slowly flourish again, after all, Xiangyang's business still depends on Fancheng.

Liu Jing nodded, "Although the business in Fancheng cannot be compared with the past, it is still necessary, mainly to develop trade with the Central Plains. I hope that in two years, the population of Fancheng will return to 10. In addition, I plan to A large Xiangfan pontoon bridge will be built on the Han River, so that everyone can cross the river directly without the need for a ferry. I have already asked Carpenter to consider the plan. It must be able to pass people without affecting the boat, and it is estimated that construction will start before the end of the year!"

Lu Sheng was overjoyed, "If there is a pontoon bridge, the revival of Fancheng will be fast."

Liu Jing smiled and said nothing. It is impossible for Fancheng to develop too much, and it is almost the same as the residential area of ​​Xiangyang.

At this time, everyone came to a small courtyard, the far door was locked tightly, and the door was covered with dust. Liu Jing looked at this small courtyard. This was his first home, and later it was the residence of Uncle Meng. After Uncle Meng passed away, the small courtyard was vacant.

Liu Jing stared at the gate of the courtyard for a long time, he sighed in his heart, did not enter this small courtyard, and urged his horse to continue inspecting Fancheng.

At this moment, a soldier from behind rushed over and shouted from afar: "Zhou Mu, I have something important to report."

"What's the matter?" Liu Jing stopped the horse.

"Report to Zhou Mu that the Jiangdong envoy has arrived, and now that he has arrived at the pier, Xu Changshi asks Zhou Mu to return as soon as possible."

Although Zhang Hong has been dealing with Jingzhou for more than ten years, this is his first visit to Xiangyang. This time he and Lu Su received a grand reception. Meet at the pier.

Lu Su was the middleman. He introduced Jia Xu and Xu Shu to Zhang Hong one by one. Zhang Hong clasped his hands together and said with a smile, "I have admired these two great names for a long time, but I just got to see them today. Zhang Hong is a lifelong comfort."

In fact, Jia Xu's reputation is much greater than Xu Shu's, but Zhang Hong is very smart, he must not favor one another at this time, he must respect Xu Shu the same, and he talks and laughs, very friendly, compared to Lu Su's seriousness , making people feel more relaxed and happy.

This was also one of the reasons why Sun Quan sent him here. Not only was his status higher than that of Lu Su, Lu Su was only here to find out, but at the most critical moment of the negotiation, Zhang Hong was still needed.

The crowd welcomed Zhang Hong and Lu Su into Xiangyang City. The broad and gorgeous carriage was walking on the flat VIP road, with military guards behind it, which was quite magnificent. Very respectful.

Zhang Hong nodded in praise and said: "I think the city's spaciousness is the second best thing. The people of Xiangyang are well-educated and sensible, and understand the respect of the elders and the younger. Only the prosperity of the people can make the country prosperous. This is the foundation of Jingzhou's prosperity. In comparison, Jiangdong is slightly insufficient. Get up and catch up!"

Xu Shu laughed and said, "Zhang Changshi is too modest."

The convoy soon arrived at the Jingzhou Military and Political Office, which was the original state office, and a group of magnificent buildings suddenly appeared in front of everyone. Even Lu Su was Jingzhou for the first time, and he was a little stunned.

In the past, people often said that Wuhou's Mansion was called Wuwang Palace by the people, which is a kind of presumptuous name, but in fact, the building of Wuwang Palace itself is not a big problem. Only the state government knows what trespassing is, and I am afraid that even the imperial palace is no more than that.

Zhang Hong next to him smiled and said nothing, his expression was not abnormal at all. He had heard that Liu Biao was like an emperor. Looking at it today, he really deserved his reputation, but this is Liu Biao's masterpiece, and it is related to Liu Jing, let alone Liu Jing To build, he must also turn a blind eye.

At this moment, there was a sound of horseshoes from behind, and a guard shouted: "The state shepherd is here!"
