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

"But that's after all the needs of life have been met!"

"Looking at the entire Han Dynasty, which county dares to say that the people under its rule will be absolutely well-fed?"

"Stop kidding, there isn't one!"

Resolutely denied Zhang Yan's statement. In Mi Fang's heart, he had already found a loophole in what his lord said earlier.

……

"Let's not talk about Lujiang, let alone Jiangdong, even in Pengcheng County of Xuzhou, which is rich in food and civilized, didn't hundreds of thousands of people die of hunger and cold last winter?"

"The needs of all the people under the rule are met... This kind of thing is not as simple as you said, my lord!"

"Perhaps it is a good thing to think twice, but if you look at it based on the knowledge and experience I have learned from the family over the years, you are still a little too cautious, my lord."

Gently shaking her finger at Zhang Yan, it is obvious that Mi Fang is more confident than her lord in terms of Lujiang's future development.

Seeing this, Zhang Yan smiled helplessly, and didn't mention it any more.

……

"Well, maybe."

……

maybe.

Perhaps, what Mi Fang said is indeed true, not because her plan is still flawed, but compared to the current era, the assumption that the survival needs of all the people are fully met is a bit unrealistic.

Zhang Yan meditated silently in his heart.

In other words, it is not that the development of Lujiang is not fast enough, but that Zhang Yan's previous ideas were a little too "Versailles".

But to be honest...

Zhang Yan still hopes that he can really meet the basic living needs of all the people under his rule.

……

Eat well, dress warmly, have a job and income, and won’t freeze to death and starve to death because of the cold winter…

Well, plus a safe and stable living environment, you will not lose your life at any time because of public security issues.

In the eyes of people in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the above conditions were extremely favorable, but in Zhang Yan's heart, they were just things that a ruler must achieve, and they were the foundation of the foundation.

But since Mi Fang is so confident today... that's a good thing.

At the very least, this means that the other party really accepts his own ideas, and will not have any seemingly incompatible things with him in the process of governing in the future.

"Okay, if that's the case, let's go here first today. After you have received your official awards, you will choose a day to set off this morning, and copy the governance model I waited in Wancheng to other counties in Lujiang."

"As for the specific things, you and Kuai Qi need to confirm one by one before departure."

"Although he is still young, he has helped me a lot during the month I arrived in Lujiang."

Smiling and clapping hands to everyone present, Zhang Yan swallowed the last bite on the table, then pointed to Kuai Qi at the side, and signaled to the three present that if there is anything else, just go and talk to Kuai Qi discuss.

But just as he was about to get up and leave, Chen Deng, who had been silent for a while, got up on his own initiative and came to Zhang Yan in small steps.

"My lord, there is one more thing."

……

"Oh? Why, Yuanlong, are you still puzzled by what I said earlier?"

"But it doesn't matter."

Seeing Chen Deng's serious appearance, Zhang Yan thought that the other party was puzzled about his future plans, so he waved his hand to signal the other party to speak out.

But Chen Deng shook his head, as if thinking of something, his face became a little heavy.

"My envoy, it's not about political affairs."

"Just as the envoy said just now, the Lujiang River is surrounded by Baiyue, and may be invaded by the other party at any time, but it reminds me of a story that I, Jing Xing, and Zi Fang accidentally heard on the way here. information."

"When I went south from Xuzhou and passed Danyang County, I once heard the people in Danyang County mention that the Yue people in Danyang area have not been very peaceful recently. Many people have seen a large number of guys dressed as Yue people coming down the mountain to gather. , I don’t know which people are going to harm them again.”

"If you combine what the envoy said just now, you want to remove Shanyue's base from the Lujiang River..."

"This time, could it be Shanyue from Lujiang who told the bandit leader in Danyang about your actions, and the goal of this group of Shanyue is Lujiang?"

There was a hint of worry in his eyes. At the beginning, Chen Deng didn't know the situation around Lujiang, so even when he heard the news in Danyang, he didn't think much about it.

But just now, after learning from Zhang Yan that the opponent intends to attack Shanyue, Chen Deng feels more and more that the movement of the opponent is likely to be the "friendly neighbor" Lujiang located in the west.

"Eh... the Yue people from Danyang?"

"Isn't Danyang the base camp of Zulang, the leader of the Shanyue bandit? They've made a move... Could it be that they came to Lujiang to seek revenge on me?!"

On the side, Zhang Yan was also subconsciously taken aback when he heard the words, and then muttered and meditated.

Chapter 41 Liu Hong When will you die, bushi

Indeed, if according to Chen Deng's statement, the Yue people in the Danyang area tended to go out of the mountains, then this branch of Yue people probably has nothing to do with the current "hands-on" Zu Lang in Danyang.

And if it was really Zu Lang who assembled his troops this time and planned to attack, then among the ten miles and eight villages around Danyang, the possibility of Lujiang being the opponent's target is obviously far greater than that of Wujun, Yuzhang and other places.

After all, just over a month ago, Zhang Yanxian killed the bandit leader of Lujiang Shanyue as soon as he arrived in Lujiang: Zu Lang's spokesperson Zu Mo, and then sent troops to clear Shanyue near Qianshan, which can be said to be a declaration of war The excuse was sent directly to Zu Lang.

"If that's the case... Yuan Long, just a few days ago..."

In a few words, he explained to Chen Deng the grievances and entanglements between himself and Shanyue. Zhang Yan not only bluntly said that he had sent troops to wipe out Shanyue, but also explained the conflict between himself and Zu Mo, and Zu Mo's actions.

The identity is emphasized.

After these words, Chen Deng directly confirmed that the purpose of the other party's assembly must be Lujiang, which is located in the west of Danyang, and Zhang Yan, the prefect of Lujiang himself.

"My lord, if what you said is true, then the target of the other party's attack this time will most likely be our Lujiang County."

"It's not that Zu Lang has a deep relationship with the bandit Zu Mo and his son you killed... It's just that Zu Mo is the spokesperson of the other party in Lujiang. His death means that Shanyue's interests in Lujiang have been directly damaged."

"The prosperity of the world is all for profit. The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit."

"Don't say it's Zulang, even our Chen family, or Zifang, Zizhong and the others will definitely take action against those outsiders when they encounter this kind of thing."

"My words may sound harsh, but this is not revenge. This is the most basic consideration from the perspective of interests."

Frowning, he said to Zhang Yan that Chen Deng also had a worried expression at the moment, apparently worried about the future of Lujiang.

"My lord, the target of the other party's attack is almost certain, but it is still unknown when these Yue people plan to attack, whether they intend to directly attack the Lujiang counties to scare the chickens and monkeys, or just harm the surrounding countryside as in previous years. people."

"But no matter what the other party's purpose is, we must be on guard."

Afterwards, after realizing that he could not be sure of the other party's plan, Chen Deng spoke up and made a soft suggestion to Zhang Yan.

When Zhang Yan heard the words, he naturally nodded his head quite solemnly, obviously he was quite concerned about this matter.

"Well, I see."

"Since the other party may attack us, from now on, we will greatly strengthen the patrolling efforts of the counties in Lujiang, especially the counties in the east, and then send soldiers to take turns to supervise the key points in the east of Lujiang for twelve hours. Tao’s personnel movement.”

"Besides, Kuai Qi, please send me an order. Except for the six major princes, the remaining four counties under the jurisdiction of Lujiang must strictly check the identity of people entering and leaving the city. For those with suspicious identities, they must report to the government office immediately. report."

Shen Sheng gave instructions to everyone, and after Zhang Yan completed the deployment of various measures against Shanyue's infiltration, he gave a little sigh of relief.

And it wasn't until then that he murmured softly, comparing the strength gap between himself and Zu Lang.

……

"Well... If I remember correctly, Ying'er once told me that Zu Lang has at least tens of thousands of bandits under the name of Shanyue."

"In comparison, we also have [-] soldiers who can be mobilized at any time."

"In fact, in terms of numbers, we don't have any obvious disadvantages."

"Although there are [-] elite soldiers following Xu Huang and the others to suppress the bandits, there are only more than [-] people left. After several months of training, it is definitely not a problem to help the guards guard the city. "

"From this point of view, what we need to focus on is that these thieves come to Lujiang to harm the lives of ordinary people."

After Zhang Yan muttered a few times subconsciously, he quickly figured out the joints.

"That's how it is, pass my order, with this year as the boundary, we will first set up sentries in the east of Lujiang River, focusing on prevention."

"If the other party comes to harass our people, then we will intercept with all our strength."

"And if the opponent doesn't attack us this year... then we will wait until the beginning of next spring and take the initiative to attack the opponent."

"As the saying goes, there is only one way to be a thief for a thousand days, but there is no way to guard against a thief for a thousand days."

"It is impossible for us to be on guard against each other endlessly. It may also be a good choice to take the initiative and cross-border law enforcement."

After exhorting everyone present, what Zhang Yan didn't say clearly was that besides taking the initiative to attack, he also planned to wait until this winter to absorb a wave of refugees, and then set up another army in the eastern part of Lujiang in the spring of next year. To guard against the offensive of these mountains.

The number of this army may not be as large as that of the first army in Lujiang, but it will also be trained according to the army's establishment, and will not be confused with those small officials who are responsible for maintaining law and order.

And this army was specially used by Zhang Yan to guard against Shanyue's backhand, or insurance.

You know, this year has been the fifth year of Zhongping, and in another year at most, something will happen to Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty, followed by a series of major events such as the dispute between eunuchs and relatives, Dong Zhuo's chaos, and the Huns going south to herd horses.

At such a juncture, although Zhang Yan didn't know what Zu Lang was waiting for, he would never allow his plan to go wrong, especially he would not let the other party slow down his participation in the feudal lord's bid for director rhythm.

If you really want to fight with real swords and guns, Zhang Yan is actually not too afraid of Zu Lang.

Although the opponent has an impressive record of nearly killing Sun Ce twice, but in terms of actual strength, Yang Feng and others today are not much weaker than Sun Ce.

At the very least, he was not much weaker than the fledgling Sun Ce back then.

But to be honest, if Zu Lang really rushed out to hold him back when Dong Zhuo was making trouble, so that Zhang Yan could not catch up with the princes' meeting to ask for Dong... then Zhang Yan would not be able to accept it.

The second army in Lujiang was specially prepared by Zhang Yan to prevent himself from being attacked by Shanyue when he was going to fight against Dong Zhuo.

Don't you see, when the Kwantung feudal lords met to challenge Dong, Beiping prefect and Fenwu general Gongsun Zan regretted not being able to participate in the last moment of the feudal lords' challenge for Dong because of the fire in his hometown.

Now that he has the experience of his previous life, Zhang Yan will naturally not let this kind of thing happen to him.

"Oh, I just don't know when this Liu Hong will die..."

Sighing slightly, Zhang Yan also had a somewhat helpless expression.

According to the records in the original history, Hanling Emperor Liu Hong will die of illness after next winter, when February arrives. This is actually a very important time node.

But now...

Thinking of the Liu Hong he met when he was in Luoyang, Zhang Yan suddenly felt that the other party would probably live longer than before after all his troubles.
