Fazheng nodded approvingly, flicked his long beard and said:

"What the prince said is true,

The minister didn't understand why Sun Quan didn't understand such a truth. "

Chapter 429

A few days later, Liu Chanjun returned to Jingzhou with his troops.

Now it is the slack season after the harvest, but when Liu Chan set up his camp, most of the common people, organized by Lu Yusheng, were digging up the soil in the fields to kill the messenger of the plague god, snails.

There are very few people who come to see Liu Chan off now, only Gan Li, who is unwilling to return to the intercourse, escorts him diligently all the way, and there is a little bit of reluctance.

"When I came here, I was greeted by Shiquan, and now I am seen off by Shiquan. It is really a fate. I hope that Shiquan will be healthy and free from illness and disaster in the future."

Liu Chan blessed Ganli, and Ganli also shed two lines of real tears.

"Everyone in Yulin knows that it is the crown prince's aura that has suppressed the god of plague. If the crown prince leaves

Hey, I will try my best to appease you, and I will definitely not cause a civil uprising. "

Liu Chan smiled gently and said:

"Although Shi Quan is at ease, as long as everyone follows the plan and eliminates the envoy of the plague god, Jiaozhou will naturally be peaceful.

Starting from next year, we will start planting double-cropping rice extensively, and Shiquan will have to help Yu Sheng with all his heart. "

Sweet and sweet, earnestly said:

"I will try my best to assist Mrs. Lu, and I will never hesitate to die."

Lu Yusheng was missing from the farewell crowd, which made Liu Chan slightly disappointed.

After everyone boarded the boat, Fazheng pretended to be casual and asked:

"Prince, after all, Yu Lin is a bit barbaric. Mrs. Lu's side is short of servants. Why don't you choose some women and send them here, so that you can have someone to take care of you."

Liu Chan didn't know what Fazheng wanted to say, he smiled bitterly and said:

"Mr. Faling, you have to help me find a way to deal with Yu Sheng's matter."

Lu Yusheng is bright and lovely, intelligent and wise, and has long been regarded by everyone as the default candidate for the crown princess.

However, as the crown prince, Liu Chan naturally cannot make his own decisions in marrying a wife like others, especially the two uncles Guan Yu and Zhang Fei both have daughters, and they are also the powerful hands of the court. If he wants to marry Yu Sheng, he is afraid of the face of the two uncles Very ugly.

Fazheng smiled gently:

"Why should the crown prince bother you about this matter, Kong Ming is Mrs. Lu's adoptive father, so he can take care of it."

that's true.

Liu Chan stretched his waist.

Anyway, he is still fighting now, just use the famous words of Champion Hou to delay for a while.

When the Han Dynasty is revived and returned to the old capital, it will not be difficult to solve my own family affairs.

As the ship headed north, the green mountains and beautiful waters on both sides gradually turned into patches of farmland and mulberry gardens.

Different from Jiaozhou, Jingzhou has already begun to widely plant double-ripening rice. The people have just completed rushing to plant and are working hard to fertilize and weed.

Seeing a large ship with guards of honor passing by in the river, they all bowed in the mud and saluted Liu Chan on the boat.

"This year's harvest in Jingzhou has been confirmed to be much higher than last year.

This is just rice, and the production of sweet potatoes has not yet been counted. Now the enthusiasm of the people to open up wasteland is very high. "

Under the rule of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, the big men rarely expropriated and extorted money. The aristocratic families in Jingzhou did not dare to annex land at will under the awe of these two great gods.

Now the officials in Jingzhou, under the leadership of Shi Bao, measure a large amount of land and distribute it to the people according to the population of each household.

The more people in the family, the more land was distributed, which greatly encouraged the enthusiasm of farmers, and the newly recovered Changsha County became a paradise for farming.

Even if the output of raw land is not as good as that of cultivated land, a group of people flock to sow the seeds of hope.

It would be great if the big Han ruled now,

As long as these good people can eat, there will be no chaos,

They are too easy to please.

Shi Bao received the news of Liu Chan's return early, and brought his subordinate officials to the river to greet him.

Seeing Liu Chan getting off the boat, he didn't bow down too humbly, but bowed his hands to Liu Chan from a distance, and said with a smile on his face:

"Knowing that the crown prince doesn't like vulgar etiquette, Bao simply doesn't give in.

Boldly invite the prince to go with the minister, and the minister is willing to tell the prince about everything in Jingzhou. "

Liu Chan said with a smile:

"They're all like Zhong Rong, but they're less troublesome.

Lord Faling wait a moment, Zhong Rong and Cheng Yuan and I will go and return immediately. "

Fazheng smiled and said:

"My body is not so bad, I just go with the prince."

Shi Bao, a very beautiful young man from a humble family, has already shown his formidable skills,

Taking advantage of the fact that the two counties of Changsha and Guiyang had just been regained, he quickly cleared and measured the wasteland in the two places. He learned about the production and resources of the two places by buying the local aristocratic families and registered them in time, so as not to give the Jingzhou aristocratic family the opportunity to invade and hide the land.

He awarded these lands to meritorious soldiers, especially those who were injured and unable to fight anymore, and the families of officers and soldiers who died in battle can be selected first.

Before Guan Yu's army used infantry to fight against Cao Hong's cavalry brigade in the Battle of Xinye, they suffered heavy losses. Many families lost their pillars, which caused the atmosphere to be very embarrassing for a while, and Guan Yu felt very guilty.

After Shi Bao took office, he was anxious about Guan Yu's urgency,

He asked the families of the soldiers who died in battle to divide the land first. Some of them were old and weak and lost their sons, and they were unable to cultivate the land themselves.

If the old man dies, the land of these refugees will be taken back and redistributed,

How dare these refugees not take care of their adoptive father and mother wholeheartedly, for fear that their health would go wrong and they would lose a lot of land in one fell swoop.

Shi Bao also vigorously promoted Zhuge Liang's steel pouring method, which was first used in the rear of Guiyang and Lingling instead of frying steel. Now there has been some progress, which made Zhuge Liang express his appreciation for Shi Bao many times.

"Stone Engagement is really unusual." Liu Chan praised.

He picked up a steel knife made by pouring steel

The blade and spine of this knife are made of materials with different carbon content,

It can not only guarantee extremely sharpness, but also increase the impact resistance. It is better to use in battle, saves manpower compared with hundred steelmaking, and the output can also be improved by leaps and bounds.

Back then, Cao Cao spent three years refining steel to make five precious swords.

With this method, it is not too big a problem to quickly organize an army that uses all precious swords.

This new technology has been introduced in detail in Tiangong Kaiwu,

With Shibao's vigorous promotion, the quality of Dahan's steel has improved rapidly,

Although it is still far from being comparable to the high-strength alloy steel used in engineering shovels, it can be regarded as the best in the contemporary era, enough to make a qualitative leap in the combat effectiveness of the Han army.

Seeing that Liu Chan was very satisfied with himself, Shi Bao eagerly said:

"This year Jingzhou's soldiers have enough food, and there is no shortage of salt and iron. Please lead the Northern Expedition with the prince. If you don't break Chang'an, it's not a credit."

In troubled times, if you want to build meritorious service, the best way is not to run a state or county, but to make meritorious service in battle.

When Shi Bao heard that Liu Chan was back this time, he immediately took Liu Chan to boast of his achievements. With his great achievements in managing Jingzhou, he should be able to exchange for a chance to lead the battle.

Coincidentally, he discovered a major flaw in the prince's deployment of troops.

If I can make up for it in time, I will definitely get the prince to look at me differently, and I will take a small step towards my goal.

After all, Shi Bao's dream is to become the chief Sima like Guan Yu.

Why Chang'an?

If you go north from Xiangyang, you should say Luoyang, right?

Liu Chan thought for a while, and seemed to understand Shi Bao's meaning.

"Hanzhong?"

"That's right, forgive me for being bold," Shi Bao organized his words carefully,

"Hanzhong is empty now, General Zilong is old, I'm afraid it's not good,

I expect that in the future when the puppet dynasty invades the bandits, they will go here.

Please lead [-] troops to Hanzhong to help General Zilong take precautions so that Hanzhong will not lose anything. "

Now in the direction of Jingzhou, Xia Houmao has made it clear that he will focus on defense and will not increase his troops to attack Xiangyang on a large scale. Shi Bao believes that if Wei Jun wants to break the situation, he should take the initiative to choose to attack Hanzhong.

To be honest, he thinks that although Zhao Yun is brave, he has never been known for his strategy. After all, he is over 50 years old, and his troops are not many, and he has been confronting Cao Zhen at the top. Not necessarily able to react.

If there is a loss in Hanzhong, the consequences will be disastrous.

I don't know why Liu Bei and Liu Chan didn't take care of this place carefully, and Zhao Yun was left alone to preside over the battle.

"Is Zhongrong worried about Uncle Zilong?"

"Uh, I just feel that General Zilong's army is small, and if he encounters an invasion by the enemy army, he may be difficult to deal with.

The minister is willing to lead an army of [-] to be the deputy of General Zilong. If the Wei army arrives, he will fight head-on and ensure that Hanzhong is not lost. "

Shi Bao, who was born in a poor family, is more enterprising than others.

He thought that he was very thoughtful, and Liu Chan should not refuse such a thing as the chief general or the deputy general to assist Zhao Yun.

Liu Chan looked at Shi Bao's expectant expression, and suddenly laughed:

"It would be great if Shi, who has such a great talent, also has such an idea.

Don't worry, there is Uncle Zilong in Hanzhong, he is absolutely safe. "

Seeing that Shi Bao immediately looked a little lonely, Liu Chan didn't want to hit this hard-working humble man too much,

He patted Shi Bao's shoulder and said with a smile:

"Zhong Rong's way of governing the people is very good and won my heart. Don't worry, it won't be long before Zhong Rong will definitely have the opportunity to lead the army."

Shi Bao's expression softened a little now, but he still regretted missing this opportunity.

The safety of Yizhou depends entirely on Hanzhong. He is sure that the Wei army will attack Hanzhong in the future.

If he is the commander-in-chief of the Wei army, he will definitely not miss such an opportunity.

The prince is so entrusted, is it

Uh, is that so?

By the way, it must be that the prince deliberately put General Zilong there to show weakness, so that the enemy would mistakenly think that Hanzhong was not well prepared, so that they could gather together and wipe them out?

Looking at it this way, it seems to be the prince's method.

Shi Bao's heart trembled suddenly, and he thought that he had only read a few military books and started to question the prince's plan, which was really unreasonable.

Of course, Liu Chan didn't want to be too big.

It’s just that he has read history books, and he admired the defense model of Hanzhong during the reign of Jiang Wan and Fei Yi, and he also referred to Wei Jun’s method of defending Hefei, so he planned to copy it.

During the period of Jiang Wan and Fei Yi, the army was transferred from the Hanzhong area and stationed in Fuxian County and Hanshou. It's more affordable there.

As long as Wei Yanxiu's strongholds and fortresses can be defended, Liu Chan will definitely have time to support him northward along the Han River from Xiangyang, and he can save the loss of manpower and material resources as much as possible.

In defense of this point, Liu Chan has great trust in Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yunsu has the ambition of loyalty and is one of the few people who sincerely fight for the people of the world, and he has won Liu Bei's trust.

When Chang Banpo's corpses piled up like a mountain, he faced Cao Cao's army without fear and rescued the young Liu Chan from the chaos. Now he commands an army and guards Hanzhong. Liu Chan believes that if the enemy invades, Zhao Yun will definitely be able to fight head-on.

But what Shi Bao said was also true, Zhao Yun was quite busy in Hanzhong, and he had to send him a person with status and face who was good at governing the people to take care of the civil affairs logistics and ensure the smooth battle.

Hey, at any rate, he is the founding chief Sima of the Jin Kingdom in history. He does have some vision. So, who should we choose?

"This stone bud looks like me," Ding Feng muttered with a straw in his mouth.

Han Long looked at Ding Feng's elegant face, but there were several scars in different shades, and said with a smile:

"Shi is a bit more handsome than General Ding, but he doesn't quite look like him."

"Bah!" Ding Feng said disdainfully,
