When Tai Shici led the Danyang soldiers in a hurry back to Wuxian, Lu Yi finally took over Sun Ce's position as Lord of Jiangdong from Sun Quan after repeated refusals.
Suddenly, the entire Jiangdong was shaken.
However, this time, there was no chaos in Jiangdong.
On the contrary, the land of the five counties in Jiangdong was filled with joy.
Gu Yong and other heads of the major families also breathed a sigh of relief.
After Lu Yi took over Jiangdong, he dismissed Lu Fan as the temporary governor of Guangling and took charge of himself as the governor of Guangling.
Afterwards, he recalled Lu Su from Kuaiji, secretly brought back the first Lu family army formed in Kuaiji, transferred them to Guangling, and appointed Lu Su as Guangling Cheng to exercise the power of the county governor.
Guangling has a very important status for Lu Yi.
Lu Yi mobilized an additional 6,000 troops and horses, and sent generals such as He Qi, Jiang Qin, and Ding Feng there.
Liu Ye was appointed by Lu Yi as his assistant.
Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong and other veterans who followed Sun Ce, as well as Lu Yi, maintained their original official positions.
At the same time, Lu Yi promoted Gu Yong, Zhang Jin and other heads of major aristocratic families.
Among them, Gu Yong was appointed as the prefect of Kuaiji by Lu Yi.
Ling Cao and Zhou Tai were promoted by Lu Yi to the rank of first colonel.
Bu Zhi, Zhuge Jin, Yan Zhen, and Wei Jing were all promoted by Lu Yi and assigned to important positions.
Taishi Ci was transferred back to Wu County from Danyang County and served as the captain of Wu County.
Cheng Pu was promoted from the captaincy of Wu Commandery to the rank of Central Protector.
Zhu Zhi was appointed as the captain of Yuzhang, and also governed Yuzhang. At the same time, he trained the navy near Chaisang.
As for Shi Huan, he was appointed by Lu Yi as the central leader and led the remaining nearly 800 Danyang elites as Lu Yi's personal bodyguards.
When Jiangdong's civil servants and generals were about to go to their respective posts, Lu Yi summoned them together.
Everyone gathered in the Wu County government office hall and watched curiously as Lu Yi sat with Liu Ye and Lu Su, talking about something.
Lu Xun knelt down and sat aside obediently, listening carefully to what the three of them were saying.
It wasn't until Lu Yi nodded and Liu Ye and Lu Su retreated that Lu Yi smiled at everyone and said, "I've kept everyone waiting."
"This gathering of everyone is not for anything else but to let everyone understand our Jiangdong long-term plan and future development."
Everyone said: "This is what it should be."
Lu Yi then clapped his hands.
Suddenly, there were shouts of yelling outside.
Everyone looked over curiously.
After a while, dozens of big men were seen carrying a huge square table filled with soil and branches.
Taishi Ci stood up first and lost his voice: "Is this a map? I have only seen it in history books!"
Cheng Pu was also a little surprised and stood up.
It is indeed a map!
Moreover, it is not a map of Koto.
But the map of the entire Han territory!
However, this map is completely different from the commonly used combat maps.
It is lifelike, like a reduced territory of the Han Dynasty placed on this huge square table.
Other people who recognized him also stood up with expressions of amazement on their faces.
Gu Yong sighed: "In the past, when Emperor Guangwu conquered Kaixiao in Longxi, General Fubo seemed to have made such a map. However, General Fubo Ma Yuan used rice to make valleys and draw mountains and rivers. Unexpectedly, This one is more detailed than the one made by General Fubo Ma Yuan! It’s more immersive!”
When dozens of big men carried a huge square table and placed it in the middle of the hall, Lu Yi stood up, walked over, waved to everyone and said, "Come here! This is called a sand table. It was paid for by me, Zijing, and Ziyang." Made in the last ten days.”
Zijing is Lu Su.
Ziyang is Liu Ye.
"My purpose in making this sand table is to let everyone clearly understand our Jiangdong situation and future plans."
Lu Su smiled and said: "This is all my lord's credit. If my lord hadn't thought of this sandbox, we wouldn't have made it."
Everyone gathered over.
Taishi Ci excitedly pointed to Danyang County on the sand table and laughed loudly: "This is Danyang County? It's exactly the same! It's the government office, which is a bit too shabby."
Cheng Pu stroked his whiskers and smiled and said: "Ou'a Port looks quite similar. Even the intersection here has been made."
He looked at Lu Yi, Lu Su and Liu Ye and said, "My lord, you have really worked hard."
Lu Yi looked at everyone with a smile and said: "This is still a rough map, not very detailed. Lords, when you return to your respective jurisdictions, you can also make a sand table like this in your own government offices. In this way, In the future, if there is any movement somewhere, you will all know the specific location at any time."
Everyone nodded.
Lu Yi waited for nearly half an hour and saw that everyone's energy around the sand table had passed. Then he signaled everyone to calm down and said: "Gentlemen, let me now talk about our long-term plan for Jiangdong and the next three and five years." plan of."
Everyone held their breath.
Lu Yi said solemnly: "My long-term plan for Jiangdong is to ensure that there is no war in Jiangdong and try our best to expand northward. When expanding, the war will only burn to the north bank of the river."
All the civil servants and generals nodded.
Gu Yong looked at Lu Yi and sighed secretly.
If this is true, Jiangdong may be a prosperous time in this troubled world.
If Mr. Cai Yong is still alive, he should want to come to Jiangdong again!
Unfortunately, he came too early and did not meet the lord at that time.
Lu Yi pointed to the Huaihe River from Guangling to Shouchun and said: "And this is our goal in three years."
"At this time, we have occupied Guangling."
"As long as we keep occupying Shouchun."
"Then, no matter what kind of war happens in the north, we in Jiangdong don't have to worry about being affected."
Everyone nodded.
Lu Yi continued: "And now, Shouchun is still occupied by Yuan Shu."
"As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although Yuan Shu was besieged by Cao Cao and Lu Bu, his strength is still not comparable to that of us in Jiangdong."
"Moreover, Shouchun City is highly defended and it will not be possible to capture it overnight."
"So, our biggest goal in Jiangdong in the past three years is to take advantage of Cao Cao and Lu Bu to besiege Yuan Shu -"
Lu Yi pointed to Hefei below Shouchun and said: "Capture the area from Lujiang to Hefei and firmly control Hefei."
"Hefei is the only route southward from Shouchun."
"If this place is not captured, in the future the northern enemy forces will be able to pass directly from Chaohu to Ruxu Port, and then enter the river, and we will not be able to calm down in the east of the Yangtze River."
Everyone nodded seriously.
Lu Yi then looked at Cheng Pu, Tai Shi Ci, Han Dang, Huang Gai and others and said: "When we have finished reorganizing, we will immediately go north and capture Lujiang while Yuan Shu is besieged."
Cheng Pu, Tai Shi Ci and others nodded.
Lu Yi looked at Gu Yong and Zhu Zhi again and said: "When you each govern your own prefectures and counties, you must cooperate and strive to capture Jian'an County as soon as possible. In this way, our Jiangdong will be relatively stable and can enter the stage of recuperation."
"During this period, reduce taxes, communicate more with the various chiefs of Baiyue, and don't use brute force to solve the problem."
"No matter how difficult the Baiyue people are, if they are in our territory, they are our people."
"Food is the most important thing for the people."
"I believe no one would want to rebel often if they could be fed and clothed."
Gu Yong and Zhu Zhi looked at each other and nodded heavily.
Lu Yi looked at Zhu Zhi again and said: "Guarding Yuzhang is not an easy task. In addition to managing the people within the territory and taking over Jian'an County, you also have to be on guard against movements in Jingzhou. Jingzhou and our Jiangdong are world enemies, so don't take it lightly."
Zhu Zhi said loudly: "Okay!"
Lu Yi pointed at Shouchun again and said: "Three years later, we must point our sword at Shouchun. However, Shouchun is not enough."
“If we want to ensure that there is no war in Jiangdong, then——”
Lu Yi pointed his finger from Shouchun to Xuzhou and said: "This is our five-year plan."
"We must take Xuzhou."
"I think everyone knows the importance of Xuzhou."
"Xuzhou is now occupied by Lu Bu. This man is not a wise master."
"Cao Cao will surely find a way to capture Lu Bu after he captures Yuan Shu, thus ensuring the threat to our Jiangdong."
"So, we must take Xuzhou before Cao Cao within three to five years, after taking Lujiang, Hefei, and even Shouchun."
"Cao Cao is different from Lu Bu."
"Once he takes control of Xuzhou, it will be difficult for us to capture it again."
Zhang Zhao said solemnly: "Xu Shao once evaluated Cao Cao as a capable minister in governing the world and a traitor in troubled times. Over the years, Cao Cao has been defeated many times in battles, but he has been able to defeat Yuan Shu and Lu Bu repeatedly, which shows his ability. He is indeed like the Lord. As the public said, once we let him capture Xuzhou, it will not be a little difficult for us to capture Xuzhou again."
Lu Yi looked at everyone with a smile and said: "Cao Cao is indeed wise, but we Jiangdong have all the princes working together, so we don't need to be afraid of him. I believe we can achieve our goal."
"Within five years, we will capture Shouchun and Xuzhou. When the time comes, we will conquer Jingzhou."
"With Jingzhou and Xiangyang under control, we in Jiangdong will have a temporary truce and develop in an all-round way, waiting for the winner from the north to appear."
"If the northern victor takes too much time during this period, we will go west and capture Yizhou."
"If we can still capture Yizhou, then we will march northward from Yizhou, Xiangyang, and Xuzhou."
"The world may be within our control."
Everyone looked a little excited when they heard what Lu Yi said.
If we can really win the world, then everyone present now will become ministers of Conglong!
Lu Yi looked at Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Cheng Pu, Taishi Ci, Gu Yong, Ling Cao and others and said: "I swear here, when the time comes, I will never be Emperor Gaozu. Everyone present can keep watching. , I, Lu Yi, will treat everyone with all my heart."
"On the day Jingzhou is pacified, I will build an immortal monument."
"Everyone who died in battle will have their names engraved on it so that future generations will remember everyone's sacrifice."
"On the day when Yizhou is pacified, I will set up the Nantian Gate, engrave the names of thirty-six heroes in it, record their deeds, and shape their statues, so that your names can be passed down for generations to come."
"On the day when the world is peaceful, I have a bigger secret to tell you. At that time, I will give everyone present a chance to become king!"
Lu Yi raised his hand and said with a serious face: "Everyone, remember what I said today. If I break my promise, I will not die well and be reviled forever!"
