A tall building boat sailed from the Yangtze River into the Wanshui River and stopped at the dock near Wan County.
The first to come down were a group of elite soldiers from Jiangdong.
Each of these soldiers wore heavy armor and carried thick shields, and the ferocious aura on their bodies could be smelled from a long distance away.
After that, there was a middle-aged man with an eyebrow that was somewhat similar to Sun Quan.
This person's name is Sun Jing, who is Sun Jian's younger brother and one of the founding fathers of Jiangdong.
This time Sun Shao went north to be a hostage, which was essentially a political deal. Not only did he need the care of his mother, Da Qiao, but he also needed someone to be responsible for building a bridge between Xuchang and Jiangdong. Naturally, this person was Fenwu School who came with him.
Wei Sun Jing.
After Sun Jing, a young girl walked out of the cabin nervously, holding her infant child in her arms.
If she hadn't already worn the double-ring snake bun that is unique to women, no one would have believed that such a little girl who looked like a jade was actually married and gave birth to a son.
But the fact is indeed the case, this girl is Sun Ce's widow, the most beautiful Da Qiao from Jiangdong.
"I've met Marquis Shen."
"I've met Captain Sun."
After He Yan, who had been waiting at the pier for a long time, greeted Sun Jing, he turned around and saluted Da Qiao: "I have met Mrs. Wu Hou."
"Ah? Oh~"
Da Qiao replied with some embarrassment. Because of his nervousness, he couldn't help but use a little strength in his arms to suppress the still-baby Sun Shao, who cried "Wow".
Fortunately, although Da Qiao was young and a little at a loss when facing He Yan, he was very good at taking care of children. He was rocking and singing, and he easily stabilized the young prince and stopped crying.
Noisy.
"It's windy outside, and I'm afraid Marquis Wucheng might be injured. We'd better go back to Wan County."
Not only He Yan, the Marquis Shen, greeted Da Qiao and Sun Shao at the pier, but Liu Ye, the prefect of Lujiang, also welcomed everyone at the pier.
Moreover, Liu Ye was a careful person after all. When he had just heard the news that Da Qiao and Sun Shao were coming, he sent his soldiers to quickly repair Da Qiao's former residence in Wan County and relocate them here.
When Da Qiao stepped onto the steps embroidered with moss, even though he had been gone for a year, he still felt a little dazed in his heart.
After all, this Qiao family compound is where she grew up.
She originally thought that after experiencing a series of changes, she would never have the chance to return here in this life, but she never expected that she would come so soon.
"Thank you, Marquis Shen, Prefect Liu."
Da Qiao looked at some of the walls that had just been built, and she didn't know that they were repaired specifically for her by He Yan and others.
After experiencing many things in Jiangdong, she is no longer the innocent child she was when she left. Her etiquette towards He Yan is also strict and she cannot fault him at all.
"You're welcome, we will all be a family from now on."
"Um?"
"I mean... the officials and the people are one family!"
He Yan pointed to the courtyard: "I still have some things to deal with in Wan County. After it is over, I will escort Mrs. Wu Hou and Wucheng Hou back to Xuchang."
Although Da Qiao didn't say anything, he still lowered his head and secretly smiled happily after hearing that he could live in his old house for a while.
"Okay~"
After settling down Grand Qiao Sun Shao and his party, He Yan pulled Liu Ye away and cursed as he left: "Zi Yang! Did you see it? What a beast Sun Ce is! Even a child of thirteen or four years old can go down there.
Hands! Oops!"
Liu Ye: "Isn't everyone like this?"
He Yan: "..."
At this moment, He Yan realized that only his and Boss Cao's aesthetics were normal?
Ha! The aesthetically deformed Han Dynasty people!
Just when He Yan was aggrieved for Da Qiao, Liu Ye had already put a lot of pistons into He Yan's hands.
"The problem between Li Shu and the Sun family has been solved, but the governance of Lujiang County is the big one!"
It is easy to conquer the world but difficult to defend it.
The reason why Boss Cao doesn't want to get involved in Lujiang County's affairs is that besides worrying about the Sun family, he also has a headache about the banditry here.
There are more and more mountains hidden in the Dabie Mountains, and they cannot be rectified at all.
In addition to the Dabie Mountains, thieves often gather in Chaohu Lake in Lujiang County. Thousands of people come out to rob at every turn, and there are fierce batches.
The most disgusting thing is that there are several armed separatist regimes with tens of thousands of people here, namely Chen Lan, Lei Xu and Mei Gan.
Chen Lan used to be Yuan Shu's subordinate. Later, after Yuan Shu was defeated by Cao Cao, he fled to Lujiang and gathered more than 30,000 people near Tianzhu Mountain, which shocked southern Anhui.
Lei Xu and Mei Gan were both natives of Lujiang. Among them, Lei Xu had a high prestige in the local area, and clansmen and families often defected to him, and his military strength reached more than 20,000.
Mei Gan is a big thief in Chaohu. He has thousands of boats under his command, and they mostly use waterways to harass the people. He is also a difficult commodity.
Although most of their so-called "military forces" are refugees and cannot form a fighting force. However, the power of Yangzhou Governor Liu Funa is obviously not enough to suppress them, so this problem still has to be solved by He Yan, who issued a military order to Cao Cao.
"Where's Lu Zijing? Doesn't he have a way?"
When Lu Su came, he told He Yan that he wanted to "make a big splash" by putting down the banditry in Lujiang, and He Yan was naturally willing to give Lu Su this opportunity.
"We can try Zijing's method, but the problem lies with Governor Liu."
Liu Fu?
He Yan frowned: "What? Does Liu Fu despise Lu Su because he is young and has no official status?"
"That's not true."
Liu Fu was magnanimous and would not look down upon Lu Su because of his age and status.
"The main reason is that Governor Liu wanted to be gentle and slowly appease Chen Lan and others, while Zijing's method was much more radical."
He Yan now became interested: "Zi Yang, tell me carefully."
It turns out that Liu Fu wanted to win over Chen Lan, Lei Xu and others, and slowly planned it so that they could complete the transformation from "bandits" to "people".
Lu Su, on the other hand, pulled Liu Ye and told him his plan as soon as he came up. He wanted to divide Chen Lan, Lei Bo, and Mei Gan to kill each other, and finally He Yan would lead the troops to take down these groups in one fell swoop.
There is no distinction between the two sides. It is just that Liu Fu's approach is more in line with the "prosperous times", while Lu Su's methods are in line with today's "troubled times".
After Liu Ye explained the differences between the two, he asked He Yan for his opinion.
"What does Lord Shen think should be done?"
"Of course I will follow Lu Zijing's method!"
He Yan didn't hesitate at all.
"In troubled times, heavy punishments should be used! If we really imprison those people, Lujiang will be in chaos sooner or later!"
Liu Fu's method would have been very useful in peaceful times, even if it were pushed forward ten or twenty years, before the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out.
But if you put it now, it would just be causing trouble for yourself.
And if He Yan remembered correctly, under Liu Fu's indulgence, the power of these three people became stronger and stronger, and in the end Lei Xu was even able to lead 50,000 soldiers and civilians to defect to Liu Bei.
Of course, this kind of behavior of capitalizing on the enemy must be cut off at the source, and they should be caught in one fell swoop while they are still weak.
Seeing He Yan's stance, Liu Ye felt relieved and invited Liu Fu from Hefei to Wan County to discuss plans to quell the rebellion.
Taking advantage of Liu Fu's arrival, He Yan also began to collect Li Shu's surrendered soldiers with the assistance of Lu Meng and Lu Xun.
Since he chose a radical path, no matter how good Lu Su's strategy was, He Yan would definitely have to lead the troops to clean up the situation in the end. He Yan needed to integrate his troops as soon as possible during this period.
Li Shu dared to separate Lujiang and go it alone. He had 30,000 soldiers under his command alone.
However, the quality of these 30,000 soldiers varies greatly, including fugitives and bandits, and not all of them are elite soldiers.
Among He Yan's current soldiers, not to mention Cao Ren's thousand old subordinates, they are truly the best in the world.
Lu Meng's troops were inherited from his brother-in-law Deng Dang. These soldiers first followed Sun Ce to conquer Jiangdong, and then fought against Shanyue. Their combat effectiveness was no problem.
Therefore, He Yan naturally looked down on some crooked men. After picking out a thousand elites from Li Shu's troops, the rest were thrown to Liu Ye as county soldiers or field soldiers.
In this way, He Yan had an elite force of 3,000 people without even fighting a battle, and he was a sure winner in life!
After three thousand soldiers formed an army, He Yan personally went to the school field in Anhui County to watch the military situation.
A total of six phalanxes of 500 people were arranged in the school grounds, tightly integrated, without any noise.
For this alone, it is no longer comparable to those refugees and bandits.
"Two or three sons!"
He Yan held his belt with both hands and stood above the commander's platform to inspect the soldiers.
"I am He Yan, the captain of the Yao School! There are only three things to do when I come to Lujiang County!"
"The first thing! It's to suppress bandits!"
"The second thing! It's still about suppressing bandits!"
"The third thing! It's still a fucking bandit suppressor!"
He Yan changed his past behavior and became extremely arrogant.
"If the bandits are successfully suppressed, I, He Yan, will be rewarded by the court, and you will also be promoted and make a fortune!"
"If the suppression of the bandits fails, I, He Yan, will be underestimated by the world, and you will become a laughing stock. If you are laughed at, you will be a bitch without eggs!"
"Tell me, do you want to be promoted and make a fortune, or do you want to be laughed at?"
"Get promoted and make a fortune!"
Not surprisingly, all the soldiers shouted in unison, setting off a huge wave that roared away in all directions with the school field as the center.
"Enough man!"
He Yan clapped his hands: "Since you are all men! Then I, He Yan, also admit that you are my subordinates!"
At this time, Lu Meng carried a handsome flag with the two characters "剽姚" in red tattooed on it.
"From today on, you are my [Yaoying] people!"
"You don't know what the word [剽姚] means, it doesn't matter!"
"But I'm telling you, the last person to put up this flag never lost a battle!"
He Yan pulled out the long sword from his waist: "So from today on! We can't lose a battle!"
"If you think you can accept defeat, get out of this school now! Get out of my [Yao Camp]! Is there any?"
"No!"
The soldiers shouted again, but He Yan pretended not to hear: "Who? Who said he had it!"
"No!"
The voice amplified again, and He Yan raised his sword: "Okay! Then from today onwards, all of you, please remember -"
"Yao Yao goes to war and is invincible!"
"This is the only military order from my [Yao Camp]!"
