Chapter 144 Guests (2)
"Haha." Guan Ping said casually: "It seems that the Lujiang Lei family is very lucky."
This Lexiang County was basically established to resettle the Lujiang Lei Clan clan. If Lexiang County can develop, it will naturally become a basis for the Lujiang Lei Clan to remain undefeated for a long time.
"It's a pity that it's too close to Gong'an City, so it's hard to make a big progress in the end." Liu Feng shook his head inadvertently.
In the past year, he has watched the Public Security City expand rapidly from a camp beside a reed beach to a majestic city, and the recent operation of Zhang Fei, Xiang Lang and others in Yidao has also been very effective. From this perspective, Lexiang, which happened to be located between the two places, is naturally restricted.
Huo Jun has a restrained personality. Since Liu Feng asserted so, he would not say more.
As the lord and priest son, Liu Feng often spoke a little recklessly, and Huo Jun was used to it. He also understood that Liu Feng was not arguing. With the tough and rough nature of this young general, he probably never paid attention to the importance of this place.
The reason why Huo Jun made this judgment was due to one of the most important prerequisites: the situation where Xuande Gong used the public security as his resident would not last long. The public security city was just a springboard extending to the southern county.
Nowadays, Duke Xuande's territory in Jingnan, including Lingling, Guiyang, the entire territory of Guiyang, the southern part of Changsha, Wuling and Nanjun. If it is for the convenience of governance of the territory, the governor of Jingzhou's governor should be placed on the back of Hengshan and occupying the Linying River, which is in the middle of the Xiang River. However, Duke Xuande was not stationed here, and only used it as the temporary garrison for the military advisor General Lingling, Guiyang and Changsha when taxes were paid, and placed the left general's mansion in the northernmost public security area.
What is the significance of this move? Whether from the perspective of economic and military, the public security is far inferior to other major cities in Jingnan, but one thing is: the public security city is very close to Jiangling, the former Jingzhou capital.
After the Sun and Liu coalition expelled Cao Ren, Zhou Yu served as the prefect of Nanjun and stationed in Jiangling, but because of the long-term hostile relationship between Jingzhou and Dongwu, he could not cooperate with the local scholars and people. At the same time, Duke Xuande, who was close to Jiangling City, took the banner of the governor of Jingzhou, and reminded the people of Nanjun that Duke Xuande, who was trusted and supported by you, was still there! Duke Xuande did not give up on you!
Huo Jun was a local tyrant from Zhijiang, Nanjun, so he naturally had his own information channels. As far as he knew, within just the past year, at least thousands of people in Jingzhou who left Nanjun and joined Gong'an City, including many scholars from Jingxiang.
Thinking a little deeper, with Duke Xuande's ambition and extraordinary means, will he always be satisfied with accepting some people he defected to every year? Huo Jun firmly believes that the reason why General Zuo's Mansion is actually stationed in the police is for Jiangling, but it is just a matter of time, and a matter of methods and methods.
If this is taken into account, when Duke Xuande finally set foot on the north bank of the river, Gong'an City will restore his original status, and may even be worse than Chanling in the south. What about Lexiang? With its geographical advantages, Lexiang will become the connection point between Yiling in the western part of Jingzhou, Yidao Zhucheng and Wuling in Jingnan, Lingling and other places. If there are extremely harsh situations, such as when the river transportation is cut off by a powerful navy, a route from Jiangling to Lexiang and then connecting various places in Jingnan will be even more strategic.
Huo Jun smiled and said nothing. Guan Ping was a meticulous person. He knew that Huo Jun had a hill and valley in his heart, but he was unwilling to argue with Liu Feng, so he quickly interrupted: "What will happen in the future depends on Lei Xuzhi's means. In front of him, most of this area is deserted and wilderness. Lexiang County has been building fortress barracks for several months, reclaiming wastelands, repairing roads, opening ports, and dredging water systems... Tens of thousands of people came from thousands of miles, struggling to get on the road. It is already very difficult to be able to gain a foothold smoothly."
Huo Jun nodded repeatedly. He was from a local tycoon and had the experience of leading the family to migrate and displace. Thinking of his hard work to move south before and after the Cao army attack, he could understand how hard it would take to invest in it: "This is the settlement of tens of thousands of people! Brother Tan, I just estimated it, only..."
Liu Feng turned around and stood between the two of them.
"What do you think about these things?" He sighed repeatedly, "Military Zhuge and the officials in the military palace are also busy with these things. I listen to them running around every day, making these troubles, and my mind is almost blown away. If you like it, why don't you ask Liao Li and Pan Jun and let them talk to you for fun? Didn't you say that today's shooting and hunting will make fun!"
He was impatient with daily trivial matters, and was usually with his father, but was particularly restrained. He had long been looking forward to having fun today, so he was interested in listening to Guan Ping and Huo Jun's stern conversation.
Guan Ping laughed: "Okay, okay. I won't talk about these boring things today!"
He put on a pergola in his hand and looked at the surrounding terrain: "The last time I came here by boat, I heard from the guide that there were several continuous lakes twenty miles southwest from here. The lake was surrounded by swamps, with forests, all kinds of wild boars, wild deer, and even bears and tigers. After a while, let Xu Zhi lead the way, we would be happy to drive horses and hunt! "
Huo Jun asked: "Didn't it mean that Suozhi will send someone to lead the way?"
Guan Ping looked at the sky and said to his entourages: "I guess I'm here too. You can go along the way to greet him."
Several entourages responded and led their horses to the lower place. After walking a few steps, they saw a tall and thin young man wearing a coarse gauze cloth climbing up from the shore. A clever entourage saw his face and bowed from afar: "I have met the head of the township Le."
Guan Ping quickly took a few steps forward, and the young man raised his hand and said goodbye to the men who built the embankment below. When he looked back, he saw that the man was not wearing a slut, his hair was loosely tied, his forehead was covered with sweat, but his eyes were very bright. Isn’t it the leader of the noble family in Jingzhou now, General Zuo, and Lei Yuan, the head of Le Township?
Guan Ping quickly introduced his identities to both parties.
"Brother Tanzhi, Brother Bosheng, Brother Zhong Miao and everyone else are all distinguished guests. I thought that it would be better to greet the respect in person than to send someone to welcome him." Lei Yuan smiled, wiped his wet palms on his body, and saluted politely to Guan Ping and others: "Who knew that after coming here, seeing the hard work of the guests in the army, I, the acting sect leader, couldn't sit back and watch, and ended up looking so embarrassed... Haha, I didn't expect in advance, don't blame everyone."
Huo Jun asked curiously: "Super, why is it so important that you have to work hard on your own?"
These are the contents that Lei Yuan is familiar with everyday thinking. Since Huo Jun asked, he answered without hesitation:
Chapter completed!
