Big Joe, Little Joe loves me

Chapter 36
The Shanyue Rebellion in Chungu City ended quickly with the intervention of Gan Ning. Zongshuai Fei Zhan was killed, Zongshuai Zulang's whereabouts were unknown, and the rest of the Shanyue bandits surrendered.

The first thing Liu Gan did after returning to Wanling was to replace the county magistrate of Chungu, and Gan Ning was promoted to be the new magistrate of Chungu.

Liu Gan gave Gan Ning the right to lead an army alone, and formed an amphibious force of 3000 people under the name of Jinfanying.

The extermination of the troubles of Shanyue made Liu Gan's status in Danyang County rise sharply. Except for Wujing in Liyang, all the counties and towns in Danyang County fell into Liu Gan's arms. After all, Liu Yao, the current governor of Yangzhou, has existed in name only.

Liu Gan now needs soldiers, soldiers, food and food. He has more than [-] troops under his command, and he has a large number of elite soldiers. Now he can fight whoever he wants. Even if Sun Ce comes, it is enough to fight.

However, Liu Gan also knew that now was not the time to fight to the death with Sun Ce. His territory was not big enough, his strength was not strong enough, and the most important thing was that he did not have the confidence to defeat Sun Ce.

Jiangdong Xiaobawang, the name alone is enough to make Liu Gan daunting.

In the face of powerful neighbors and enemies, Liu Gan chose to spare no effort, while vigorously developing industry, commerce and agriculture, while holding high the important banner of "only talents".

In Liu Gan's own words: I want talents from great families, I want talents from poor families, and all talented people in the world fall into my arms.

Taking advantage of the prestige of the clan of the Han Dynasty, under Liu Gan's all-encompassing, more and more talented people came to vote one after another.

At the same time, Xu Gong, the prefect of Wu County, was attacked by Sun Ce's subordinate Zhu Zhi. Xu Gong was defeated and fled to the bandit Yan Baihu. Zhu Zhi took advantage of the situation to occupy the southern part of Wu County. Biao Sun Ce was the general who killed the bandits, and sent his cousin Yuan Yin to be the prefect of Wujun. After Sun Ce heard the news, he ordered Yuan Yin to be expelled from the country, and Yuan Shu was furious.

Yuan Shu's chief secretary, Yan Xiang, said: "Sun Lang's climate has already matured and he is located in a remote place in the east of the Yangtze River. It is not easy to attack. My lord's most urgent task is to eliminate Liu Bei in Xuzhou. Xiang thinks that Liu Gan, the prefect of Danyang, can be used to control Sun Lang!"

Yuan Shu adopted it, proclaimed Liu Gan as the general of the bandits, and sent his envoy Yinshou.

Within Danyang County.

Under the suggestion of Chang Shi Zhang Zhao, Liu Gan boldly adopted reform policies such as recruiting people to farm, relocating population, persuading farmers to teach farming and mulberry, and checking household registration, etc., and greatly promoted the military and civilian farming system in Danyang County.

The reform of the garrison system has greatly improved the mass production capacity of military rations under Liu Gan's rule, and the homeless refugees can also be resettled. In addition, the two major Shanyue Zong commanders in Danyang ran away to death, and the troubles of Shanyue fell apart. The phenomenon of chaos has been temporarily relieved, and Danyang County is full of prosperity.

Prefect's House.

The sun has just risen, and the golden sunlight shines on the courtyard surrounded by singing birds and fragrant flowers. In the courtyard, there is a young man who is sweating profusely and dancing with a sharp sword in his hand, sometimes stabbing, sometimes chopping, sometimes shaking his head, sometimes laughing...

There was too much movement here, and the noise woke up the sleeping girl in the next room.

The girl rushed to the courtyard as soon as she woke up, and said to the young man who was practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard: "Brother-in-law, you are too early, what time do you get up to practice swords, the wound on your body It's still not good, go back and rest!"

"Don't worry, I'm fine. My injury is almost healed. I just can't sleep and think about practicing swordsmanship. Look at my move. Does it look like a master of swordsmanship?" Liu Gan gestured with a smile Make a sword move with a proud face.

"I'm so shameless, if Master hears your words, I'll die laughing." Xiao Qiao walked up to Liu Gan with a big smile, and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, senior brother, let me practice sword with you, it's so boring for you to practice sword alone. "

Liu Gan was stunned for a while, and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law and senior brother! What kind of name is this?"

Xiao Qiao smiled and said: "You are my brother-in-law and my senior brother. If you add them together, you are brother-in-law and senior brother. If you don't like it, you can call your brother-in-law and brother-in-law. No, no, it doesn't sound good. It's better to call you brother-in-law and senior brother." , what do you say?"

Liu Gan was speechless for a while: "I really lost to you. Tell me what is in your quirky little head. You ran away from home so far away. Did your father and sister agree? "

Xiao Qiao lowered her head slightly, and said in a soft voice: "Of course I agree, if you disagree, can I come out?"

Liu Gan narrowed his eyes and said with a straight face: "You are still lying, your father wrote to me, saying that you ran out secretly, and you are too willful. Do you know that you will make many people care about you?" The people who are worried about you are worried about you, it’s okay that you are fine now, if something happens to you on the way, how do you ask me to explain to your sister..."

Liu Gan couldn't continue talking, because the girl in front of her had red eyes and burst into tears.

Liu Gan couldn't help feeling dizzy: "Why are you crying, I didn't scold you."

Xiao Qiao sobbed: "You didn't scold me, but you blamed me, why did you blame me... I know I was wrong, I missed my sister and dad as soon as I came out, but I... I just couldn't help but want to come to you , I want to practice sword with you, I want to hear you talk, I want to see you, is it wrong? Don’t forget, I saved you that day!”

Liu Gan quickly reached out to wipe Xiao Qiao's tears, and sighed: "Okay, I said something wrong, I was wrong, I blame me, I blame me, don't cry, you will become ugly if you cry again, Your sister will blame me if she knows I made her baby sister cry."

Xiao Qiao pushed Liu Gan's hand away, and said stubbornly: "Ugly is ugly, do you think I care about it? Sister, sister, you know that you love sister, you don't have me in your heart, go away, I don't want to look at you anymore your turn!"

Liu Gan was pushed away by Xiao Qiao, his eyes could not help but froze slightly, the girl's fresh Ruolan fragrance was still wafting in the air, but the girl's beautiful figure disappeared without a trace.

After a while, a young man in a white robe walked out slowly and quietly came behind Liu Gan.

"She likes you." Zhu Gongdao said endlessly.

Liu Gan sighed slightly and remained silent.

"You know she likes you?" Zhu Gongdao asked.

"I didn't know it before, but I know it now." Liu Gan said with a wry smile.

"Do you like her?" Zhu Gongdao's words made Liu Gan look at him unexpectedly.

Since when did this man who is as cold as an iceberg care about other people's affairs?
"She's too young." Liu Gan sighed softly.

"Do you like her?" Zhu Gongdao seemed dissatisfied with Liu Gan's answer, and asked the same question for the second time, his face sinking like water.

Liu Gan hesitated for a while, and suddenly didn't know how to answer.

"I understand." Zhu Gongdao didn't ask any more, turned around and disappeared into the small courtyard, as if he had never appeared before.

Liu Gan closed his eyes tightly and stood motionless in the courtyard, unable to calm down for a long time.
