Chapter 329 There are always more ways than difficulties
After solving the troublesome Ma Chao, Lu Yan still has to clean up the mess left by Ma Chao...
Although the matter of appeasing the people was left to Zhong Yao, Ma Teng and Han Sui, how to rebuild the people's trust in Cao Jun almost made Lu Yan lose his head in the past two days.
Now it seems that although the people outside Huguan County have been properly resettled, the soldiers and civilians in Huguan City are also in a group. After all, no one is willing to accept a group of people destroying their houses and taking away their food.
The robber...
I'm afraid it won't work if I try to conquer the heart again like I conquered Hu Pass. "This unlucky Ma Chao, am I too kind to him?"
It takes a long time to build trust, but it only takes a moment to destroy it...
Ma Chao's decision at once brought Cao Jun a series of problems and caused immeasurable losses.
Now, Lu Yan has to spend countless times of time and energy to make up for everything Ma Chao caused...
Ma Chao had already been punished and his anger should have subsided, but the troublesome things before him made Lu Yan angrier and angrier the more he thought about it!
So, Lu Yan shouted outside at the top of his lungs: "Here comes someone!"
After hearing Lu Yan's cry, a personal guard immediately came to Lu Yan's camp and waited outside Lu Yan's tent: "General, what are your orders?"
"Go and tell Ma Mengqi that after you write down the military regulations, copy them three times for me. If you can't finish them, you won't be allowed to eat today!"
"Here! Let's go, little one!" The guard heard the deep resentment in Lu Yan's tone, and suddenly his whole body trembled, and he rolled away from here.
How to do it?
After thinking about it, Lu Yan felt that he could only use practical actions to solve the current problem.
No matter how much you talk, it's better to actually do it.
In order to regain the trust of the people in Bingzhou, first, we must sincerely apologize and lower our posture first, so that subsequent actions can be easily accepted; second, we must implement the strategy of attacking local tyrants, dividing land, and exempting taxes.
As long as the people actually get the land and get benefits, their trust in Cao Jun will be slowly re-established.
"But just having strategies is not enough. You have to find people who can fully understand and implement these policies... But this matter is not urgent. Just leave it to Lao Cao to think about it."
Thinking of this, Lu Yan immediately took out a pen and paper and wrote a secret letter to Lao Cao in a few strokes.
After stretching and looking at the letter on the table, Lu Yan finally felt better.
"Boom! Boom!!!"
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded outside the camp.
Lu Yan opened the camp tent and looked towards the gate of the camp, just in time to see Lu Lingqi, Zhao Xue and Gan Ning leading a few personal guards into the camp.
Lu Lingqi and Zhao Xue Ganning saw Lu Yan standing not far from the entrance of the camp from a distance.
They came to Lu Yan, got off their horses, saluted, and said,
"Last General Lu Lingqi (Zhao Xue), I have met sir!"
"The last general, Gan Ning, has met Lu Xiuqi!"
"No need to be polite." Lu Yan took two steps forward, helped the three of them up with a smile, and then asked, "Why are you back today?"
After Lu Lingqi, Zhao Xue, and Gan Ning looked at each other, Lu Lingqi asked again: "The general and others heard that you sent people to capture Ma Chao... We were afraid that Ma Chao would be disrespectful to you, so we rushed back to have a look.
..."
It turns out that I was worried about myself... This lady is really not bad!
Lu Yan's lips curled up slightly and he replied: "Fortunately, as long as I'm here, Ma Chao can't change the world."
Gan Ning looked around for a while and asked curiously: "What about Ma Superman?"
"The horses are being fed in the stables."
"ha?"
Lu Yan's seemingly careless remark made Lu Lingqi, Zhao Xue and Gan Ning almost twitch their tongues in shock!
"What did you say???"
"Ma Chao is feeding the horses in the stable?!!"
"Yes! He lost a bet with me and was willing to admit defeat. Now he has become the chief groom of our army..." Lu Yan shrugged and replied with a smile.
"Betting?" Zhao Xue was surprised and keenly captured the key information in Lu Yan's words.
So, she asked Lu Yan: "Sir, what was your bet with that Ma Chao?"
"What else could it be? A martial arts competition!"
"Contest!!" Gan Ning was surprised and asked: "It seems that Lu Piaoqi defeated Ma Chao?"
"Fortunately, I was lucky enough to beat him by one and a half moves." Lu Yan acted very modestly, but he added: "Gongming was at the scene at the time. You can ask him for the specific details."
Lu Yan rarely takes action when he is outside, but every time he takes action, it becomes a legend...
When Zhao Xue and Gan Ning heard that Lu Yan had fought with Ma Chao, they immediately couldn't stand.
Moreover, their departure would give Lu Yan and Lu Lingqi a chance to be alone together, so they both clasped their fists and said, "In that case, I'll go find Xu Gongming and find out!"
Lu Yan waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, go ahead... just remember to come over for dinner tonight!"
"Okay!" Gan Ning and Zhao Xue agreed and turned to leave.
Seeing Gan Ning and Zhao Xue walking away, Lu Yan couldn't help but ask Lu Lingqi, "When will they get married?"
"Huh? Huh?" Lu Lingqi was suddenly asked about this by Lu Yan, and her mind had not turned around for a while.
"Ah, what, let me ask you, when will Zhao Xue and Gan Ning get married?"
After Lu Yan repeated it again, Lu Lingqi suddenly said: "I don't know, but I believe that good things will happen soon for both of them..."
After thinking about it, Lu Lingqi suddenly said: "Gan Xingba has the qualifications to be a famous general, and his future achievements will be limitless. And Xiaoxue is an orphan. Will she be bullied in the future if she marries Gan Ning?"
Lu Yan knew what Lu Lingqi was worried about.
If Gan Ning becomes famous, he will most likely have three wives and four concubines in the future.
And Zhao Xue was born a commoner, without parents or brothers... living with wives and concubines with strong backings in the future, he is likely to be suppressed and bullied by them.
Lu Yan felt that this possibility did exist. So, after thinking seriously for a while, he said to Lu Lingqi: "This problem is actually easy to solve..."
"How to solve it?" Lu Lingqi asked, staring at Lu Yan curiously with her big eyes flashing.
"Zhao Xue and Zilong are both from the same village... They both have the surname Zhao, so they may be related to each other..."
When Lu Lingqi heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up and she excitedly grabbed the topic and said, "So, you want Zilong to recognize Xiaoxue as his adopted sister?"
"That's right!" Lu Yan grinned and said, "With Zilong's support, who else in the world dares to bully Zhao Xue?"
The problem in Lu Lingqi's mind was solved, and she burst into laughter: "Hahaha! You still have more ideas!"
"Don't just say thank you, give me some real reward."
"What reward do you want?"
Lu Yan bowed his head and whispered in Lu Lingqi's ear...
Suddenly, Lu Lingqi's cheeks turned red. She covered her face and said very shyly: "How can you be embarrassed to do such a thing... It's too embarrassing! I can't do it!"
Lu Yan chuckled and said, "Believe in yourself, you can do it!"
