Back to the Three Kingdoms

As soon as Kuai Yue said this, the scene immediately exploded. Those who support it, those who oppose it, and those who oppose it are all emotional, saying: "Yuan Shu is a traitor to usurp the country! The lord is a great Han clan, how can he go to rebel?"

Liu Biao couldn't help showing hesitation when seeing the crowd's quarrel.

Kuai Yue Yang said: "Everyone, listen to me!"

Everyone stopped making noise and looked at Kuai Yue.

Kuai Yue said: "I naturally know that Yuan Shu is a rebellious person! But what else can we do? If we don't take this step, how can we resist Chen Lang's tiger and wolf teacher? At that time, the destruction was only sooner or later. The matter!" Everyone couldn't help but pale, and they all looked sad.

Kuai Yue continued: "No matter how bad Yuan Shu is, at least it still respects the righteous way of Confucius and Mencius. It's not like Chen Lang's reversal to destroy Shilin and make people angry! In fact, you don't have to resist this way. The referendum to rely on Yuan Shu is just expedient. After getting through this crisis, it is not too late to call on the world's tao to kill Yuan Shu!" Everyone nodded their heads after hearing the words, only feeling that what Kuai Yue said was also very reasonable.

Seeing that there was no objection, Kuai Yue clasped his fist to Liu Biao and said, "Lord, the matter is urgent. Please make a decision this morning!"

Liu Biao hesitated for a long time, and finally reluctantly said: "This is the end of the matter, and there is only this!"

Kuai Yue heaved a sigh of relief and immediately said: "Lord, Pang Ji is loyal and reliable, and he is good at speaking, so he can make him an envoy to Yuan Shu."

Huo Chengqi, a middle-aged man with a scribe's robe, goatee, and determined temperament, generously clasped his fist and said, "Lord, I will live up to my lord's trust!" This person is one of Liu Biao's important staff, Pang Ji. .

Upon seeing this, Liu Biao nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Then Mr. Exhaust!"

Chen Lang and Jia Xu Chen Gong were discussing in front of the sand table in the hall. Jia Xu said: "According to the latest report, the Jingzhou army has shrunk to Xiangyang and Fancheng, with a total force of about 120,000. Liu Biao personally sits in Xiangyang, and Liu Qi defends Fancheng. The two cities are as wide as Jingzhou and havetily. The offense must not be taken down!"

Chen Lang looked at the sand table and thought for a moment, and asked, "Have you sent the messenger to persuade you to surrender?"

"It has been dispatched according to the lord's will." Jia Xu said.

Chen Lang said: "I hope that Liu Biao and Liu Qi will not be stubborn, and we will save some energy! But we can't hope that they will surrender actively. The attack preparations must be stepped up!" Then he said to Chen Gong: "Gongtai, you will return to Wancheng immediately to prepare. , After half a month, join me in the north-south side, and attack Xiangyang and Fancheng at the same time!" Chen Lang’s 300,000 army currently assembled in Jingzhou is divided into two parts, one is in Jingzhou City, with about 200,000 people, and the other is in Wancheng, with 100,000 people. According to the plan of Chen Lang and others At the same time, the soldiers and horses of Wancheng and Jingzhou city will attack Liu Biao’s army of Xiangyang and Fancheng at the same time, in order to solve Liu Biao’s forces occupying the entire Jingzhou in one fell swoop.

With proper arrangement, Chen Gong hurried to go.

Jia Xu said to Chen Lang: "Lord, the land of all the great clans in Jingzhou has been collected and distributed to ordinary people in Jingzhou according to the lord's will. The people of Jingzhou are grateful to the lord!"

Chen Lang nodded and smiled and said to Jia Xu: "Wenhe, there is nothing to do today and the weather is good. How about going shopping on the street?" Jia Xu smiled and clasped his fists. follow!"

The two changed into casual clothes, and accompanied by Dian Wei and other Fang who also changed into casual clothes, they left the Cishi Mansion and came to the street. It was not noon, the sun was shining, and the street was bustling with hustle and bustle. The shops that were originally closed were all opened. The hawks of hawkers came one after another. The sound of children's screaming came from the front. Several five or six-year-old children were on the street. Chasing and squatting.

Chen Lang smiled and said, "Here is finally back to normal."

Jia Xu smiled and said: "This is all because of the lord's policy. The lord reduced tariffs to encourage industry and commerce, so Jingzhou's commerce and commerce quickly resumed; in addition, the lord allocated all the land controlled by the gentry to the common people, and the common people have had it all. With spare money, you can buy more goods, which fundamentally makes the market prosperous. It is hard to imagine looking at such a scene. Not long ago, this place was still a battlefield for war! I believe that in time, this Jingzhou city will also Become as prosperous as Luoyang."

Two people walked into a restaurant, the shop Xiaoer immediately greeted him, and asked with a smile on his face: "How many guest officials are drinking?"

Jia Xu smiled and said, "Isn't it possible to drink tea without drinking in your tavern?"

Xiao Er smiled and said, "It's the villain who made a mistake! Do the guest officials want to drink in the box or just drink in the lobby?"

Chen Lang looked downstairs. He had already made 70% to 80% of the guests, including men, women and children, but ordinary civilians in common clothes accounted for the vast majority. He couldn't help but smile and asked, "How come there are so many civilian guests? ?"

Xiao Er smiled and said, "The guest officer seems to be a foreigner! Actually, there were very few civilians in our customers! But now the general is in charge of Jingzhou, and all the land that originally belonged to the gentry and lords is allocated to the common people. So now the common people have a lot of money. Every day, many people come to the pub to eat and drink, and our business has improved a lot!"

auzw.com Chen Lang smiled slightly and asked Xiaoer: "Is there still a place in the lobby upstairs?"

Xiao Er hurriedly said: "If there are any, please come with me, the guest officer." After leading the way, Chen Lang and his party followed.

When I came to the lobby upstairs, 50 to 60% of the guests were seated in the lobby upstairs. As in the lobby downstairs, most of the guests here are ordinary people.

Chen Lang and Jia Xu sat down by the window, and Dian Wei and others sat nearby. Jia Xu ordered some ordinary drinks and dishes for everyone, and Xiao Er rushed down in response. At this time, another Xiaoer brought tea.

Chen Lang and Jia Xu chatted while drinking tea.

At this time, a rather drunken man sitting not far away said to several companions at the same table with joy: "Thanks to the general, we can finally marry a wife! If the general is not here, I I’m afraid I won’t be able to marry a daughter-in-law in this life!” Several people at the same table also said with emotion, “I originally farmed for the Kuai family! I have been doing this for ten years. So far, there is nothing! But when the general came, the 15 acres of fertile land of the Kuai family was allocated to our family, and there were several thatched houses. The rice in the field is our own! Now! But I didn’t even dare to think about the days when I was born!” Others are also talking about the changes in their lives, and they are grateful for Chen Lang who brought them all this.

Jia Xu smiled and said: "The lord's policy is extremely popular with the people!"

Chen Lang picked up the teacup and drank a sip of tea, then smiled and said, "I'm afraid some people hate me to the bones!"

Jia Xu smiled and said, "But the lord doesn't take them to heart!"

Chen Lang smiled and said, "I really want to satisfy everyone I govern! But there is no perfect thing in the world. All I can do is to make the vast majority of ordinary people live better! "

Jia Xu nodded, his eyes showing admiration.

At this time, Xiao Er came up with the wine and food that Chen Lang and the others wanted, set it up, spoke slowly, and then stepped back.

Jia Xu picked up the jug, filled Chen Lang with wine, and then filled himself with wine. Chen Lang took a sip from the wine glass, nodded, and said, "This wine is not as good as Dukang, but it's not bad." Jia Xu smiled and said, "There are not many that can match Dukang in the whole world."

Chen Lang suddenly asked: "Wenhe, why do you think people always put wine and color together? Wine color, wine color, is there any relationship between the two?"

Jia Xu smiled and said; "The lord, this is a question of his subordinates!" After a pause, he thought: "Why do you call this wine and color together? Maybe it's a kind of indulgence!"

Chen Lang waved his hand and drank the wine in the glass in one sip, and said, "Because men will think of women when they are drunk. The wine is used for pleasure, and the purpose is actually to look good!"

Jia Xu laughed, clasped his fist and said, "The subordinates really convinced the lord!" Chen Lang laughed. Then he remembered one thing and said: "Wenhe, taking advantage of the time these days, I want to go to Wollongong near Xinye."

Jia Xu thought for a while and said, "The subordinates heard that the recluse in Wollongong had previously avoided the Magi who had avoided the Yellow Turban Rebellion. The lord is going to visit the Xian, right?"

Chen Lang laughed and said with a thumbs up: "He who knows me is Wenhe!" Then he looked back and said: "There is a great sage living in Wollonggang, who is better than Guan Zhong Leyi, who has the talents of the world and the earth. , I can't let this person go!"

Jia Xu smiled and said, "I didn't expect that someone would dare to compare Guan Leyi to Guan Zhong Leyi. I would like to see this person."

Chen Lang smiled and said: "Wen He is also a rare great sage in the world, but unlike this Zhuge Liang, Wen He is good at conspiracy, Zhuge Liang, he should be more good at strategic planning and internal affairs."

Jia Xu asked in astonishment: "Listening to what the lord said, it seems that you have known this Zhuge Liang a long time ago?"

Chen Lang smiled and said, "I just heard that, I hope he is well-known!"

Jia Xu said: "The subordinates also inquired about Jingzhou talents recently, but they didn't hear about Zhuge Liang, but the five brothers of the Ma family. Youdao is ‘Ma’s five permanent members, the best white hair.’"

Chen Lang's heart moved and said: "Wen He said Ma Liang, Ma Yan and others?" Jia Xu nodded, "Exactly." Then he clasped his fists and said: "Since these five people have such a reputation in the countryside, they must all be true. Real material! The subordinates ask the Lord to call five of them to come and help!"

Chen Lang said: "I have heard of these five people. But they should all be members of the noble family, right?"

"No, as far as the subordinates understand, they are all poor students!"
