Three Kingdoms, at the beginning of the game, recognize the thief as the father, hit the spectacle,

A hint of boredom arose in his heart. Zhang Yan didn't listen to Qiao Ying's opinion after a long absence this time, so he stood a little stubbornly near the gate of the post house, as if he wanted to see this "Shanyue" person now appearing in the What kind of plan does Wancheng have?

……

Shanyue Shanyue, if we really talk about it, the Shanyue clan, or this word originally refers to the ancient Yue people who live in the mountains of Jiangdong. The values ​​of the Han people are not mixed with the Han people like the Hu people. It can be said that they are incompatible with the Han court.

However, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the word "Shanyue" had another meaning, that is, under the name of Shanyue, a gang of Han bandits and robbers pretended to be southern minorities to carry out banditry.

For these murderous guys without batting an eyelid, Zhang Yan has no sympathy from the bottom of his heart.

"Ying'er, do you know this person?"

Holding Qiao Ying's palm with his left hand, Zhang Yan saw the travelers who were still eating on the first floor of the posthouse scattered like birds and beasts, and immediately protected Cai Ku, who was a little scared at this time, behind him. He asked Qiaoying softly.

On the other side, Qiao Ying also wrinkled her nose, at first she was a little hesitant about this matter.

Afterwards, after realizing that Zhang Yan would be the prefect of Lujiang in the next few days, and sooner or later he would not be able to hide these things from him, Qiao Ying sighed, nodded to her husband, and gave a soft "hmm".

……

"Husband, this person's name is...Qiao Mo, who used to be a servant of our Qiao family. Because of his poor family, he was bought by his father together with his younger sister. At the same time, because of his sullen and reticent personality, he was built as a bridge by his father." Mo's name."

"But later, because of some things, this person rebelled against the Qiao family when I was very young. The servants all said that it was because this person was usually too lazy to work, so my father expelled him."

"Later, it seemed that when I was four or five years old, there was a banditry in the Lujiang area, and this man joined the rebel army led by Huang Rang, and was resigned under the compromise of Lu Kang, the previous prefect of Lujiang. When the Shanyue forces introduced in Danyang were defeated, they took refuge in Zu Lang, the leader of the Shanyue forces, and even recognized the thief as his father, changing his name to Zu Mo..."

"Earlier, I heard some local people say that this person gave his younger sister directly to Zu Lang in order to have a relationship with Zu Lang. I just don't know if this is true or not."

It seems that she has some disdain for this traitor. When Qiaoying mentioned him, there was a hint of disgust on her face.

But on the other side, after hearing Qiao Ying's words, Zhang Yan felt inexplicably dumbfounded.

"Good fellow, is this man also a thief as his father?"

"A good uncle doesn't do it, but wants to be someone else's son... Tsk tsk, I really can't understand the thinking of this kind of person."

Shaking his head subconsciously, he heard that the other party had some relationship with Zu Lang, the leader of the Shanyue faction, and he finally understood why in Wancheng, every commoner looked extremely disgusted by the other party, but there was nothing he could do about the other party look.

If you really want to talk about it, this Qiaomo... or Zumo really has the capital to dominate the Jiangdong area.

Even among the six counties in Jiangdong, Zu Lang's reputation may not be any worse than that of Zhang Rang.

You must know that Shanyue, a group of pseudo-minority people composed of Han people, has the characteristics of a nest. From time to time, it goes down the mountain to make trouble. Once it turns around and withdraws to the mountain, it can be said that most of the aristocratic families have nothing against this kind of people. Method.

After all, in Jiangdong novice village, there are only a few people who can support domestic servants like the five rich merchants, let alone directly raise private soldiers like the Yuan family and Yang family in the north. unimaginable things.

In addition, the leader of the opponent, Zu Lang, had an impressive record of almost killing the bully Sun Ce solo in the novel...

Even though Sun Ce had only a few hundred recruits under his command at this time, Zu Lang was able to do such a thing as a bandit, so it is not a strange thing that his adopted son is now dominating Jiangdong .

……

"Until now, it has been eight years since Zu Mo changed his name. I don't know why, but the thief handsome Zu Lang also trusts him very much, and entrusted him to take care of the entire Lujiang Mountains."

"At present, the distribution of the entire Shanyue forces, except for Zu Lang's Danyang Jing County, where Zu Lang personally sits, Zu Mo has the most soldiers and horses. It is estimated that there are thousands of people. He is working near the buried hill on the south side of the Lu River He is so powerful that even the county magistrate of Qian County has nothing to do with him."

"He came here today, probably to collect offerings for his godfather, Zu Lang. This is also the main source of income for those Shanyue forces."

"Although the amount is not large, it is quite a burden for the local family in Lujiang."

It seemed that seeing the other party and the waiter went to the backyard, Qiao Ying continued to whisper to Zhang Yan like this.

Chapter 11 Who in Lujiang made a fuss?

"Then the previous prefect of Lujiang didn't care about this person who is domineering and oppressing the people in Lujiang?"

After hearing Qiao Ying's words, Zhang Yan couldn't help being a little curious.He did know that things like "Shanyue" were rampant in the six counties of Jiangdong in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, but he did not expect that the other party had developed to such a point.

Now that this group of people dared to blatantly collect offerings in the city, they might have already formed a parasitic relationship with the aristocratic family.

Beside him, Qiao Ying also had a slightly bitter expression on her face. It was obvious that she had accumulated grievances for a long time, but she felt helpless.

"not that simple……"

"The previous prefect, that is, Lu Kang, who was born in the Lu family of Wu County, also thought about taking care of the chaos in Lujiang County."

"However, eight years have passed, and the bandits in Shanyue have become more prosperous every year. They are no longer a cancer that can be easily solved by a city or a county."

Sighing, she explained to Zhang Yan that as a native of Lujiang's noble family, Qiaoying naturally hated the rampage of mountains and forests.

But unlike those ordinary people, she obviously knows something that ordinary people don't.

"In the beginning, Prefect Lu was made the prefect of Lujiang by the current emperor because Huang Rang, a thief, gathered people to make trouble near Lujiang River. He wanted to clean up Huang Rang and Jiangxia barbarians from the vicinity of Jiangdong."

"But my husband, you also know that this Jiangdong is not as good as the hinterland of the Central Plains. Although in recent years a big family like the Zhou family has emerged, let alone a giant like the Yuan family. It’s just that compared to those families in Xuzhou or Yanzhou, the strength of our Jiangdong area is far inferior.”

"No one wants people, no one wants money... It can be said that as a city on the border between Jiangdong and the Central Plains, Lujiang simply doesn't have enough strength to resist the invasion of Huang Rang and others, at least not eight years ago..."

"so……"

……

"So, Lu Kang chose to bring in the Shanyue forces from Danyang next door, and gave them enough rights to let Zu Lang lead people to help resist Jiang Xiaman?"

"Heh... After that, I'm afraid that the Shanyue forces headed by Zu Lang will span the two counties, and the tail will not be lost..."

"It's really a classic good plan to drive away the tiger and eat the wolf, and then die in the belly of the tiger."

After taking over Qiao Ying's words, although Zhang Yan said so, he also knew that Lu Kang's background was different from his own, and the environment the other party was in was also different from his own. The actual situation of the prefect.

Unlike him, or Er Yuan, who took the post with his own army and family background, when he didn't have any resources at hand, it was naturally a helpless move for Lu Kang to make such a choice.

It's just that the people in Lujiang are pitiful, but they have to suffer a lot for it.

"Well... yes"

Beside him, Qiao Ying also nodded aggrievedly at this moment, obviously approving Zhang Yan's words.

"Until now, apart from the more than 2000 soldiers used to guard the city, Lujiang County has no extra troops at all."

"Every time Prefect Lu plans to recruit troops, the damn Shanyue forces will get the news. Not only do they intensify their oppression of the family, but even ordinary people are disturbed."

"As time goes by, not to mention our aristocratic families, even the common people complain about Lu Kang..."

"After all, with the knowledge of ordinary people, they don't care why Lu Kang is unable to clear Shanyue. They only know that every time the other party starts recruiting troops, those people will come to several counties in Lujiang to make trouble."

Burying her head into Zhang Yan's chest, Qiao Ying felt a burst of unhappiness when she mentioned this matter until now.Recalling that Zulang's spokesperson in Lujiang County was a former abandoned slave of their Qiao family, she felt even more outraged, and her lips pursed slightly.

"That's it. Seeing that Zu Lang forbade him to join forces on a large scale, Governor Lu would not allow him to join forces on a large scale. Once he showed any hostility, the other party would start harming the people. There is nothing he can do about the other party."

"As for now, if the status quo is maintained, at least the other party's harm to the entire Lujiang River is not that great, and the exploitation of the aristocratic family is not too fatal, so he just turned a blind eye to the rampant Shanyue forces. "

Whispering about the open secrets of the Jiangdong area, Qiao Ying looked up at her husband with some hope at the moment, and in her beautiful eyes, there were quite a few rays of light flickering slightly, as if some stars were brewing.

She knew that her husband was different from Lu Kang. Zhang Yan actually had more than 2 troops in his hands. In the current border of the Han Dynasty, it was probably a powerful force that only those border princes in the north could match.

And if Zhang Yan can send troops to take Shanyue as soon as the army arrives in Lujiang...

No, even if Zu Mo, Shanyue's spokesperson in the Lujiang area, is removed, it will be a positive thing both for Zhang Yan's reputation in the strange environment of Lujiang, and for the development of the Qiao family behind him. Meaning is a good thing, and it could even be said to be the best of both worlds.

Of course, considering that she is only a girl, Qiaoying doesn't want to interfere too much in Zhang Yan's decision, let alone let Zhang Yan have any negative views on her.

Therefore, even though she knew that the other party would never refuse her request as long as she opened her mouth, Qiao Ying still silently cast her eyes in Zhang Yan's direction with a trace of longing.

"Husband..."

Moaning and hugging the other party, Qiao Ying didn't say anything more, when she saw the girl behind the other party, she couldn't help but jumped out first.

……

"Brother Zhang..."

"Mr. Zhang!"

"General Zhang!!!"

"Lujiang is your territory, people have bullied you, how can you bear it?"

With willow eyebrows upright, he jumped out from behind Zhang Yan. Cai Ku had long since lost the fearful look he had before. Instead, after hearing Qiao Ying explain the ins and outs of the Shanyue forces, he became a little nervous. Righteous indignation arose.

You know, she has been with the great Confucian Cai Yong since she was a child, and she has received the most orthodox education of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, and her attitude towards the people has always been based on patronage.

Although Cai Ku is still young and a girl at the same time, due to the influence of her family background, she is not inferior to her sister Cai Yan in terms of right and wrong and sense of justice.

Chapter 12 Sleepiness is here to send a pillow

You know, in terms of right and wrong and sense of justice, although Cai Ku is still a little young, he is not inferior to his sister Cai Yan at all.

……

"Brother Zhang, you are the parent officer of Lujiang County, and the people in Lujiang are all like your children..."

"Now that your child is being bullied, you can't sit idly by like that Lu Kang..."

Begging Zhang Yan with a flat mouth, Cai Ku didn't care how many people were in public at the moment, so he just shook his arms around each other.

Since she was a child, she has been with her father Cai Yong, and while she was protected by Cai Yong, she also wandered around Jingzhou for a long time with him.

It is for this reason that although Cai Ku has never seen Shanyue thieves committing evil, she is very familiar with the Jiang Xia Man that Qiao Ying just mentioned, and at the same time, she empathizes with the people in the Jiangdong area.

In her eyes, those savages who regard human life as worthless and kill and set fire at every turn are already very vicious, and even left a big shadow on her when she was a child.And these Shanyue forces were able to suppress Jiang Xiaman led by Huang Rang, if they did evil things, the harm would definitely be no less than that of the other party.

Hugging Zhang Yan's arm in a low voice, after hearing the suffering of the people in Lujiang, Cai Ku jumped out very proactively without asking Qiaoying, hoping that Zhang Yan could find a way to send troops to solve the matter.

At the same time, Zhang Yan, whose waist and abdomen were pinched very covertly by his sweet wife, naturally laughed out loud, patted Cai Kuo on the shoulder, and at the same time pulled his arm out of the other's embrace. out.

"Hehe, don't worry, that's for sure."

"Zhen Ji, you don't need to talk about this matter, and I won't just let a bunch of thieves run wild in my territory like this."

"Not to mention that there is still your big family living on this site."

Smiling slightly in Cai Ku's direction, Zhang Yan first gave his wife a reassuring look, so that she would not have to worry too much about it, and then he smiled and agreed to Cai Ku's mention of suppressing bandits .

You must know that today is different from the past. As early as two or three months ago, if Zhang Yan wanted to suppress the bandits, he might have to risk his life to fight in person.Today, he not only has a large number of troops who have undergone preliminary training, but also has several generals who can lead the army independently.

As long as Zhang Yan said a word, Pei Yuanshao and others, who have been idle lately with long hairs, would naturally wipe out the Shanyue forces in Lujiang.

Under such circumstances, it is of course inevitable to send troops to suppress bandits.

Even if Cai Ku didn't take the initiative to speak up today, after hearing Qiao Ying's words, Zhang Yan had a plan in mind.

In fact, since Zhang Yan entered the hinterland of Lujiang a few days ago, he has been thinking about where he should start, and gradually develop Lujiang as his base camp.

However, if you want to develop Lujiang, no matter from the perspective of productivity, policy system or population, the trust of residents is an insurmountable mountain in front of Zhang Yan.
