"I wonder what's going on?" Zhang Zhao asked anxiously.
Lan Tian rubbed his beard and looked at the two people, and then said seriously: "Although Jianye has returned to the Han Dynasty, Sun Quan is still struggling in Wuhui. Most of the county officials below are Sun Quan's minions, so I am not in a hurry to take over the government affairs. However, there are two This place is far away from Wuhui. After the war, it is urgent to recuperate with the people. The appointments and adjustments of officials in various yamen may have to be made in advance."
"Master Fu, are you talking about Yuzhang and Luling?" Gu Yong immediately woke up.
"Lü Dai, the prefect of Luling, was killed in battle before. Now Xi Zhen, the prefect of Guiyang, is serving concurrently. Sun Lin, the prefect of Yuzhang, was shot and killed by Xu Sheng. Military control is still in place for the time being. Can anyone recommend the two of you?" Lan Tian asked meaningfully.
Since Yuzhang and Luling were pacified by Sun Ce, they have been controlled by the brothers Sun Bi and Sun Fu. Officials, tribes, and taxes are all decided by themselves. They are like a country within a country in Jiangdong, and they are far away from the political and cultural center of Jiangdong. Even if Sun Ben and Sun Fu died one after another, and Sun Quan's control was not strong.
Because Yuzhang and Luling border Jingzhou and Jiaozhou, they have been used as strategic forward areas for military control for a long time. The Jiangdong gentry had no interest in reaching out. But now that the border threat no longer exists, the two counties have become important areas for profit distribution, but Gu Yong couldn't understand why Lantian would take it out to 'share' it.
"The Lord Fu came to us, he should have already made some plans, right?" Gu Yong looked at Lantian suspiciously, he didn't believe in pie in the sky.
Zhang Zhao was eager to give it a try, but when he heard what Gu Yong said, his heart pounded, thinking that Lan Tian was planning something?
Lan Tian stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The population of each county in Yangzhou is different, and the land is fertile and poor. In fact, it is not necessary for all policies to be the same. The situation in Wu County, Kuaiji, Danyang and other places is relatively similar. I do not intend to change the old Han Dynasty system. But the two counties of Yuzhang and Luling have special situations. The people there are fierce and there are often rebellions in the mountains. As a result, many people have fled to other places, so I want to bring the new system of Jiaozhou to these two counties to try it out."
"Master Fu, will this be gradually implemented throughout Yangzhou in the future?" Gu Yong suddenly became alert.
"Of course not, and His Majesty will not agree." Lan Tian's eyes were clear and he patted his chest to confirm.
"In front of Mr. Zibu, I believe that Mr. Fu can make a promise. Yong knows very little about the new system in Jiaozhou. Just ask Mr. Fu to discuss it with Zibu. I will go back to select the personnel to go to Guangzhou and take my leave." Gu Yong stood up and said to the two. When people salute, they say in their hearts that we will not take advantage of you.
Gu Yongzhi acted calm and calm because he saw that he was just a guest. Lantian wanted to reward the Huaisi faction headed by Zhang Zhao. Sun Quan had lost more in foreign wars in recent years and won less, and those generals from Huaisi were killed one after another. , died of illness, and now there is no way to check and balance the local gentry, so there is no need to fight.
Seeing Gu Yong step out of the front yard, Zhang Zhao asked meaningfully: "Does the prince want to use Yuzhang and Luling to set up a bureau? But the foundation of the Jiangdong gentry is in Wu County."
Lan Tian shook his head and replied: "Internal fighting is not beneficial to the country. I plan to force you to separate. Isn't it beautiful for everyone to perform their duties?"
"This?" Zhang Zhao frowned, and then asked from his soul: "I made such a big determination, only to be driven away by those people? The Lord's move makes Zhao unconvinced."
"Haha, Mr. Zibu is really impatient. Who said that leaving means losing? Don't you hear that 'Shen Sheng will die inside, and Chong'er will be safe outside?' Your Majesty's ambition is the entire world, and a corner in the southeast is no more than a small pond. Sir, how big a wave do you think Pan can make?" Lan Tian stroked his beard and laughed.
"Zhao is a lowly person, and he does not have the high opinions of the emperor. Please make it clear." After hearing this, Zhang Zhao clasped his fists respectfully.
Lan Tian nodded and said: "The people of Huaisi are now in decline, and forcing them to stay in Jiangdong is just like Sun Quan. There is really no point in persisting. It is better to leave early and find another place."
"Here refers to Yuzhang and Luling?" Zhang Zhao asked meaningfully.
Lan Tian shook his head gently: "There are only two counties, Yuzhang and Luling. Does your Majesty only have these two counties? Jiaozhou has developed very well in recent years. Although it has used schools to cultivate a large number of talents, it is still far from the final saturation, especially As an experienced and talented official, why don't Zibu take advantage of this visit to Guangzhou and send some people to take a look on the spot, maybe someone will be willing to stay? In addition, in the center of the capital Chang'an, no one wants to be closer to His Majesty? The Huaisi area will definitely be conquered in the future, and you have no problem returning to your homeland. If you really want to stay, don't force it."
"Fu Jun is really thoughtful. Running away is indeed the best choice, but it's just that it gives them an advantage." Zhang Zhao was still aggrieved.
"Not necessarily." Lan Tian stretched out his finger and shook it, "Jiangdong is like this palm. It only has five fingers. Even if all the local nobles are left, there will be a day when the fingers are not enough. Don't forget where to swing your hand. , whether to make a fist or to use a palm, you must ultimately listen to me." Lan Tian smiled mysteriously.
"Fu Jun has lived up to the name of Xuan Owl. In terms of conspiracy, you are more powerful. I am convinced now." Zhang Zhao bowed and saluted.
Lan Tian was noncommittal and continued: "Where to go? Think carefully when you go back. I will transfer people from Jiaozhou as the governor of Luling. I will leave Yuzhang to your arrangements, but the administration must be consistent with Jiaozhou."
"Everything is at the discretion of the Lord." Zhang Zhao solemnly replied.
Holding small meetings to handle big things, Lan Tian, Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong reached an agreement and decided Jiangdong's future direction.
In the evening, a battle report came from the front line of Dantu. Sun Shao relied on a solid water fort defense, but Lu Xun was familiar with the weaknesses of the water fort defense. Gan Ning divided his troops ashore to contain them according to the plan. He expected to capture Dantu in two days, and then he could attack Wu Commandery captured Sun Quan.
After reading the battle report, Lan Yuan said happily: "Dantu is the barrier to Wu County. When the Dantu troops are captured and they approach Wu County, Lu Boyan will raise his arms at that time. How can Sun Quan hold the end of his powerful crossbow? It seems that within a few days Jiangdong can be determined, and I don’t know how your Majesty will deal with Sun Quan.”
"It's not a big problem to pacify Jiangdong in a few days, but it's not certain whether we can capture Sun Quan." Lan Tian shook his head slightly.
Lan Yuan looked surprised, "Is it possible that Sun Quan will die for his country? Even for the sake of Mrs. Sun, Your Majesty will spare his life. I don't think he is so brave."
Lan Tian pointed to the map of Yangzhou in front of him and analyzed, "Wu County is so close to the sea, and Sun Quan has a warship. It is very likely that he will live in exile at sea. Even if the second half of his life is harder, it is better than being a prisoner and suffering all the humiliation."
"But the sea is vast, where can Sun Quan go? River warships can easily capsize." Lan Yuan was puzzled.
Lan Tian shook his head and smiled: "Then no one knows. He may find an island to live in, or he may become a pirate. In short, it is absolutely impossible to make a comeback."
"It's a pity that the thief chief is gone. Should we send people to Dan Tu to warn Sun Quan that he may want to escape?" Lan Yuan asked.
"The sea is so vast and boundless, how can we stop it? In addition, Lu Xun's troops stationed in Ru must send orders to him to recruit people to surrender. Once our navy has finished dealing with Sun Quan, they must rush to Huainan immediately to put pressure on Cao Pi." Lan Tian The expression is stern.
"My child, we'll get it done right away." Lan Yuan responded with clasped fists.
