Lu Xuan smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "Xidu, sit down!"
After thanking Kuai Yue, he sat down and said proactively: "After my lord took over Nanyang County, he sent Lu Meng to Xiangyang to instigate a rebellion. He captured Xiangyang without any bloodshed and made an forced landing on Liu Biao. This is a stroke of genius, and I admire him for his humble position."
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "This is because you are collaborating with civil servants and military generals to collectively force Liu Biao. Otherwise, Liu Biao would not be able to submit directly."
Kuai Yue said: "My lord, you have given me a reward."
He reached into his sleeves, took out a thick book, handed it to his lord, and said respectfully: "My lord governs Jingzhou, and the Kuai family has nothing to celebrate, so I offer the land of the Kuai family in various places in Jingzhou. The main thing is
There are more in Xiangyang and Nanjun. The total land is 18,000 acres. Please check the information, my lord."
When he said these words, Kuai Yue felt a little bleeding in his heart.
This is the arrangement of brother Kuai Liang.
Kuai Liang sent a letter asking him to donate a large amount of the family's land after Lu Xuan took over Xiangyang, because his brother said that land was what Lu Xuan valued most.
It took several generations of the Kuai family to have such a foundation, and most of it was dedicated today.
Lu Xuan took it and flipped through it roughly. When he saw the land recorded in the book, a look of approval flashed in his eyes, but he asked calmly: "Why did you suddenly think of donating the land? In fact, there is no need, and there is no need to worry that I will target Kuai."
Home."
Although Kuai Yue felt uncomfortable in his heart, the look on his face looked confident and confident, and he loudly said: "My lord, seize Xiangyang and control Jingzhou in just a short time. This is the pattern of monopolizing the south."
"My lord's future is to conquer the world. I am inferior to my elder brother in my humble position, and there is no one else who can help my lord. Therefore, I can only offer my family's land in the hope of helping my lord."
A smile appeared on Lu Xuan's face.
This is a smart person.
Lu Xuan's strategy has always been to restrain large families from annexing land and expand the land controlled by the government, so that more people can have land for farming, or they can use the land to build military camps on their own.
Kuai Yue donated part of the land accumulated by his family over many generations, which was the greatest support to Lu Xuan.
This is what's going to happen.
Lu Xuan also needs such a person.
A person who is capable, knows how to solve problems, and can solve things for Lu Xuan is what Lu Xuan needs.
Lu Xuan summoned Kuai Yue alone. He originally had an arrangement for Kuai Yue. Now that Kuai Yue's performance made Lu Xuan very satisfied, he did not beat around the bush and said directly: "You will be transferred to serve under me from a different degree. Your talent and ability
, it is obvious to all. I plan to let you serve as the Minister of Justice, what do you think?"
"I humbly obey my orders!"
Quiney answered directly.
He and his brother Kuai Liang often exchanged letters and knew the structure of Lu Xuan's subordinates.
Xingcao Shangshu is Lu Xuan's unique official position. He is responsible for all criminal cases under Lu Xuan. It is an official position with real power.
At this moment, Kuai Yue secretly said that his elder brother is great.
I believe Big Brother is right.
Lu Xuan nodded and said: "After you take charge of the punishment, the original punishment Cao Shangshu Yan Xiang will be transferred to the governor of Jingzhou and be responsible for the government affairs of Jingzhou."
Kuai Yue said: "The humble official will ask Yan Shangshu for advice."
Lu Xuan ordered: "Go back and prepare, and then you will leave early for Shu County to take up your post."
"Here!"
Kuai Yue bowed and left.
After Kuai Yue left, Lu Xuan called Tai Shi Ci over.
Taishi Ci took over as the governor of Jiujiang not long ago. On the one hand, he had to govern the place, and on the other hand, he was also responsible for guarding the place. His responsibilities were not small.
Lu Xuan asked: "Ziyi, are you used to serving as the governor of Jiujiang County?"
Taishi Ci replied: "Reporting to my lord, I am not used to handling the government affairs of Jiujiang County. What I am better at is leading troops to fight and training soldiers. But please rest assured, lord, I will handle the government affairs of Jiujiang County well."
, live up to the Lord’s high expectations.”
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "There is one thing that I plan to let you take charge of."
Taishi Ci said: "Please let me know."
Lu Xuan directly talked about the arrangement of arranging for Yan Xiang to serve as the governor of Jingzhou and to transfer Kuai Yue to Shu County as the minister of punishment. He continued: "Yan Xiang will be appointed as the governor of Jingzhou. He will be responsible for the government affairs of Jingzhou."
"But here in Jingzhou, we need people to lead the army and at the same time arrange soldiers to guard Nanyang to resist possible attacks from Cao Cao."
"In addition, we must further sweep the southern part of Jingzhou and control Jiangxia, Changsha and other places. We must sweep various places to ensure the stability of southern Jingzhou. Therefore, I must have someone trustworthy enough to take charge."
Lu Xuan said in a deep voice: "After much thought, you are the most suitable candidate. I hope you will lead troops to guard Xiangyang and be responsible for the security of the entire Jingzhou area."
"I humble my duty and obey my orders."
Taishi Ci answered with clasped fists.
His sharp-edged face had a bright smile.
This is what he likes.
The happiest thing is to sit in command of one side and further attack the local disloyalty. He is in charge of Jiujiang County, and Yuan Shu was once there, so his position is meaningful. However, Yuan Shu was wiped out and Cao Cao's Yanzhou was not threatened, so he was in charge.
Jiujiang is of little significance.
Transferring to Jingzhou is the best arrangement.
Lu Xuan nodded and said: "If you are willing to stay, it's settled. As for Jiujiang County, I will arrange for Zhang Zhao to reassign someone to serve."
"Here!"
Taishi Ci answered directly.
Lu Xuan waved his hand. After Tai Shici retreated, Lu Xun came in to report: "Uncle, Cai Mao wants to see you."
Lu Xuan laughed.
Although Cai Mao surrendered, in fact, Lu Xuan did not summon Cai Mao, and the arrangements for Cai Mao were not implemented.
Lu Xuan ordered: "Bring the people here."
Lu Xun turned around to inform him. After a while, Cai Mao entered the camp and saluted, "I am humbled by Cai Mao, and I would like to pay my respects to the general."
Lu Xuan asked: "General Cai wants to see me, what's the matter?"
Cai Mao was a little embarrassed, but when it came to his own arrangements, he asked shamelessly: "The general has taken over Jingzhou, and the overall situation is settled. I wonder if there are any arrangements for this humble post?"
Lu Xuan said directly: "The Jinfan Camp under my command is a specialized naval force. The leader of the army is General Gan Ning. General Cai is also good at the navy, so he went to Jinfan Camp as a deputy general to assist Gan Ning in managing Jinfan.
camp."
Cai Mao sighed in his heart. For him, this arrangement was better than nothing. It was an official position to support the elderly.
However, Cai Mao couldn't refuse.
Cai Mao wanted to mention his past feelings and relationships, but seeing Lu Xuan's expression, he swallowed the words on his lips and said, "I humbly obey my orders."
Lu Xuan waved his hand and said: "Go down."
"Here!"
Cai Mao left respectfully.
Lu Xuan looked at Cai Mao's leaving figure and shook his head slightly.
Cai Mao's consciousness is very poor.
Cai Mao is different from Kuai Yue, and the Cai family is different from the Kuai family. Now, as a surrendered general, Cai Mao wants to get benefits from Lu Xuan without any sacrifice, which is obviously impossible.
Because Cai Mao was freed, when he returned to the Cai family, he saw people from the Cai Zhong and Cai He families.
Cai Zhong said anxiously: "Brother Degui, how is the situation? How did Lu Xuan arrange for you?"
Cai He said: "Although you were defeated in Wancheng and became a prisoner, you took advantage of the situation and surrendered to Lu Xuan. This time Lu Xuan captured Xiangyang, Jingzhou, and will definitely use us to raid various places in Jingzhou. Brother, okay
What errand?"
Cai Mao curled his lips and said directly: "Lu Xuan asked me to serve as a deputy general next to Gan Ning in his Jinfan camp. Such an arrangement is equivalent to leaving me idle and not arranging anything."
In his words, Cai Mao felt a little unhappy.
However, there is nothing that can be done.
After Lu Xuan gained Jingzhou, Lu Xuan had the right to make arrangements.
Cai Zhong frowned and asked, "Brother, did he say nothing when he saw Lu Xuan?"
Cai Hao asked: "What does it mean?"
"well……"
Cai Zhong sighed.
He was a little helpless and explained, "I just got the news from the Kuai family. Kuai Yue went to see Lu Xuan and dedicated 18,000 acres of the Kuai family's fertile land to Lu Xuan to support Lu Xuan.
"
"Then, Kuai Yue was appointed as the Minister of Criminal Cao under Lu Xuan. He was already packing up his belongings and going to Shu County, Lujiang County to take up his post."
"The more capable Kuai is, and the relationship he has with Kuai Liang, he will give him benefits, and Lu Xuan will naturally arrange it. My brother, you led the troops to defeat and surrendered. In essence, you are a prisoner or a surrendered general. What?
If I don’t even give it, is there any benefit?”
Cai Zhong was very disappointed.
Even, he looked worried.
Cai Hao raised his brows and said: "The Cai family's inheritance has been passed down from generation to generation. How can we give it to others so easily? If Lu Xuan doesn't need me, then forget it. Is it possible that I still want to give up my ancestral inheritance?"
Cai Zhong said in a deep voice: "If you don't give up your ancestral property, how can you get any benefits? I asked people to find out that Lu Xuan just likes to get land from the hands of the rich. Brother, you have to pay what you have to pay. This time Lu Xuan takes charge of Xiangyang.
It wasn't arranged by you, you don't have the capital to negotiate terms."
Cai Mao sighed and said, "I saw Lu Xuan before, but I didn't do him any favors. Now if I offer land, money and food, it seems very deliberate."
"Not deliberately!"
Cai Zhong looked anxious and said directly: "Brother, the situation has changed. Jingzhou is no longer what it used to be. Jingzhou is not the time when the Cai family can run rampant. Don't worry about what Lu Xuanhui will do."
"You go directly to see Lu Xuan and donate the family's land to show our attitude. Then, we will have a chance in the future, otherwise the Cai family will get worse and worse. In this chaotic situation, changes must be made."
Cai Hao asked: "Do you really want to change?"
"Must change!"
Cai Zhong answered firmly.
Cai He, who had been silent all this time, said, "Brother Degui, I agree."
Cai Mao asked; "How much should we give?"
Cai Zhong thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "The Cai family, as the largest family in Jingzhou, is in need of poverty. We have properties in various counties in Nanjun, including Wuling County. So we will donate 20,000 acres of fertile land and take out the gold."
One thousand taels, 50,000 shi of food, a one-time donation to Lu Xuan to support Lu Xuan."
Cai Hao's mouth went dry after hearing this, and he said in a deep voice: "It's just land, but also a thousand taels of gold. This will definitely use money from the family's treasury. In addition, fifty thousand stones of grain is not a small amount, and it will also cost the family's grain store."
Save food and mobilize it all. Is it worth it?"
Cai Zhong said: "It's worth it!"
Cai Hao also weighed it for a while, and finally said: "In that case, I will go see Lu Xuan, do my best to obey fate, and see how Lu Xuan arranges this matter. I hope there will be a good result."
Cai Zhong said quickly: "Brother, you can go as long as you are here and as long as the Cai family can be in power, is there any benefit in worrying about it? Brother, you can go as long as you want."
Cai Hao went to the backyard to wash up, made some preparations, and then went to Lu Xuan's camp again.
