Back to the Three Kingdoms

Chen Lang stood on the wall, looking at the scenery in the distance. It was already evening, and the mountains and rivers outside the city were surrounded by mountains and rivers. The sunset glow was like a brocade hanging between the mountains and rivers! Chen Lang couldn't help but said with emotion: "The scenery of Jingxiang is really unique compared to the north!" At this time, three people stood behind Chen Lang, one is Jia Xu, the other two are tall and handsome, and the one on the left. It is particularly eye-catching because his eyebrows are actually white. It turns out that these two people are the two of the Ma family Wuchang in Jingzhou folklore, Baimei Maliang, and the other is Ma Di. The Ma Family Wuchang had already surrendered to Chen Lang when Chen Lang occupied Jingzhou last time. This time Chen Lang led his army to the south, and Ma Family Wuchang followed along in the march.

Ma Di smiled and said: "The scenery in the north is magnificent, and the scenery in the south is beautiful. The styles of the two sides are different, but they are also the magical work between heaven and earth!"

Chen Lang smiled and nodded, turned around to look at the two of them, and asked, "Do you know why I called you two?"

The two looked at each other, Ma Liang smiled, with a clear look on his chest, and Ma Di smiled: "The war in Jingzhou has come to an end. The lord will not stay in Jingzhou for a long time, and our brother is a native of Jingzhou. Presumably the lord is asking me to manage the civil affairs of Jingzhou."

Chen Lang smiled and said to Jia Xu: "Ma's Wuchang is really extraordinary! Hearing Xuange and knowing elegance!" Jia Xu smiled and nodded.

Chen Lang said to Ma Liang: "Ma Liang is responsible for the civil affairs of Jingzhou, and he also leads the government affairs of Xiangyang." Ma Liang held his fist and promised. Chen Lang looked at Ma Di and said, "Ma Di is responsible for Fancheng's government affairs." Ma Di clasped his fists and promised.

Chen Lang asked, "You all know our policy very well. There should be no doubts, right?"

Ma Di hugged his fist and said, "Master, my subordinate has a suggestion."

Chen Lang nodded, "Go ahead."

Ma Di said: "The situation in Jingzhou is different from that of Luoyang Guanzhong and Xiliang where social relations have completely collapsed due to frequent wars. Because of the long-term tranquility, the local nobles are very powerful, and their roots are scattered throughout all aspects of society. Ordinary people are more or less common. Survive by the clans. If the policies of other places are fully implemented in Jingzhou, it will inevitably cause huge chaos. Now that the lord has just occupied Jingzhou and his footing is not stable, it is really inappropriate to take too violent actions."

Chen Lang looked thoughtful.

Ma Liang clasped his fist and said, "I agree with what Ma Di said. What Jingzhou needs at present is stability. If it is chaotic, the consequences will be unimaginable. Although the lord’s policy is beneficial to most of the people, this matter should not be rushed. The subordinates think that the gentry will not be confiscated for the time being. Land, business as usual, and other policies to develop commerce and reduce taxes for ordinary farmers."

Jia Xu said: "What Ma Liang and Ma Di said is very reasonable. When our army withdrew from Jingzhou, we confiscated the land of the gentry and distributed it to ordinary people. However, there was not much confusion in Jingzhou. The control is very powerful, exceeding our expectations. The local people dare not resist the gentry at all. If it is too hasty, it will definitely cause chaos throughout Jingzhou. At that time, Sun Jian took advantage of the void and the consequences were unpredictable! "

Chen Lang thoughtfully nodded, and said to Ma Liangma, "Just do what you think. However, when it comes to the selection of officials, all members of the noble family must be excluded. At the same time, the old officials in various places must be evaluated and eliminated. Unqualified guy." The two clasped their fists and promised.

In a huge and magnificent house in Xiangyang City, several well-dressed middle-aged men sat together to talk, and everyone frowned.

One person said: "I just got news that Chen Lang did not intend to confiscate our land, but he still implemented the policy of supporting merchants and ordinary farmers."

A middle-aged man with a thin face and gloomy expression snorted coldly, and said, "Chen Lang is still the Chen Lang, or the guy who is apostate to harm the world! The reason why he does not confiscate our land for the time being is nothing more than worrying about our strong local strength. Fear of pushing too tightly to cause huge chaos and losing control of Jingzhou! Although he has not confiscated our land now, it does not mean that he will not do so in the future! He is just a policy of boiling frogs in warm water, and wants us to unknowingly The land is over!"

The fat middle-aged man next to him nodded with approval: "Yes! If Chen Lang changes his policy, he will not exclude all our gentry from the selection of officials in Jingzhou! In addition, many of us were originally there. The officials from all over the world have also been cleared out by them! Chen Lang just postponed his actions, as long as he thinks the current situation can be completely controlled, he will not hesitate to attack us!"

Everyone couldn't help nodding their heads worriedly. The middle-aged man with a thin face and gloomy expression couldn't help but angrily said: "Hate Chen Lang's so obvious intentions, they can't even see it, and they want to go on like this! What a bunch of stupid guys! I see how they will die by then. I don’t know!” He was scolding the many Jingzhou noble clans. In fact, there were dozens of Jingzhou noble clans they invited tonight, but only four of them were really present at the meeting. Others used all kinds of excuses to prevaricate the past. In fact, they just didn’t want to. Being involved in this incident offended Chen Lang, who now truly controls Jingzhou.

The fat middle-aged man sneered and said, "They are not bad. Look at the Cai family. It is clearly the leader of our Jingzhou clan, but the first one to surrender to Chen Lang. Such a flattering face is simply lost. The face of our Jingzhou Shilin!" Several people echoed, yelling at the Cai family for shamelessness.

"Okay. Don't say these useless words." The elder who has not spoken said. The crowd stopped cursing and looked at him in unison, as if listening to his instructions.

The elder frowned and said: "I am most disappointed that Huang Chengyan did not attend the meeting!" The thin and gloomy middle-aged man snorted and said, "The Cai family has become Chen Lang's lackeys. His Huang family and Cai family They are relatives, so naturally they are in the same relationship!" The reason why he said this is because Cai Tao's sister, Mrs. Cai, is the sister of Huang Chengyan's wife, and the relationship between the two families is very close. However, the Huang family is different from the Cai family. Although they are prominent in Jingzhou, they rarely appear in front of the world. Therefore, in the perception of ordinary people, the Huang family is like a hermit first-rate.

The elder frowned and shook his head: "Maybe it's not the case!" Then he raised his head and glanced at the crowd, and said: "After today's incident, it is clear whoever has a firm will and who has a weak will. We will understand what we should do in the future. That's too much." Everyone nodded, and the thin and gloomy middle-aged man said anxiously: "It is impossible for us to deal with the tyrannical Chen Lang by our own strength. There is only one way to unite the Sun family!"

The elder raised his right hand and said, "Don't say this for now. What we have to do now is to keep a low profile and not attract any attention from Chen Lang. We invited so many people to the party today but did not come, presumably this is the case. The meeting will reach Chen Lang's ears. After everyone goes back, they must declare to the public that today's meeting is just a gathering where I will choose my husband and son for my daughter." Everyone nodded.

Chen Lang sat in the study, Jia Xu reported to Chen Lang: "According to the report just received, the four clans all claimed that the party last night was to choose a son-in-law for the daughter of the Kuai family."

Chen Lang smiled and asked, "Do you believe it?"

Jia Xu smiled and said: "Naturally don't believe it! The sneaky gathering of their group of people must be cursing the lord!"

Chen Lang laughed and said, "Who won't be scolded behind your back when you are alive! It doesn't matter if you scold you, just don't do anything out of the ordinary."

Jia Xu smiled and clasped his fists and said: "The lord is really open-minded!"

Chen Lang laughed loudly, waved his hand, and said, "That's it. Those gentry dare not really do anything." Then he said to Jia Xu: "I plan to return to Luoyang as my class teacher tomorrow. Wen He thinks we have missed anything?"

Jia Xu thought for a while, and said: "Leave the civil affairs to the Ma family Wuchang, and the military affairs to Wenpin Huang Zhong. There is nothing wrong with it. There is no problem." Chen Lang has decided to make Wenpin the main general guard Jingzhou and Huang Zhong as the assistant general. Wen Ping. There are 50,000 troops guarding Jingzhou, including 30,000 for the army and 20,000 for the navy. These soldiers and horses are from the original Jingzhou Army, and it is very suitable to guard the local area. In fact, there were more than one hundred and two hundred thousand Jingzhou army captured and surrendered. However, in view of the consumption ratio, Chen Lang ordered Huang Zhong and the others to reserve only 50,000 for these Jingzhou army to go to waste and save them. The rest of them all let them disarm and return to the field.

Early the next morning, the Yingyang army left Jingzhou and returned to Luoyang.

And at this time, Yuan Shu, who had already stopped fighting with Yuan Shaoxiu, had already mobilized his forces to use Cao Cao. The forward troops of the two sides had already fought for several games. Yuan Shu lost his troops and defeated his generals, and the forward general was also cut into two stages by Xiahou Dun. When the news reached Huainan, Yuan Shu was furious, and immediately ordered General Ji Ling to lead an army of 200,000 to kill Mangdang Mountain. Cao Cao ordered Yu Jin to be a general and raised 100,000 troops to fight. The two sides fought at Mangdang Mountain, and the winner was not yet determined.

When Chen Lang returned home, Xiang Xiang rushed up immediately, her small body leaped into the air and plunged into Chen Lang's arms, and said coquettishly: "Daddy!!"

Chen Lang's troubles disappeared immediately, he laughed, and kissed Xiangxiang hard. Then she looked at Dong Yuan and Diao Chan, and asked with a smile: "Did you miss me during this time?" Dong Yuan sighed redly, "Don't be stinky, who missed you!" Chen Lang sighed depressed. Tone.

Xiangxiang immediately said as if offering a treasure: "Daddy, Daddy! Sister Dong Yuan lied, but she really wanted to miss Daddy! Yesterday I slept with Sister Dong Yuan, and I heard him talking in dreams and calling Daddy!" Dong Yuan was very embarrassed and groaned: "Kids, don’t talk nonsense! Also, haven’t I told you before. If you call my sister, you should call his brother. Why did you forget? Huh, sister here? , But it's Daddy over there, what is this called!"
