The Three Kingdoms began with the rescue of Mrs. Mi

Chapter 88 Zhuge Jun Lobbying to Take the House Tomb
In the fifteenth year of Jian'an, under October.

Wang Pingping's attachment to the Jiangren made the Banchu Man in the three eastern counties stop thinking about standing up for the Shen family, and the Jiangren would not do anything that was not beneficial.

After controlling the two counties of Xicheng and Shangyong, only Fangling in the three east counties is still in the hands of Kuai Qi, the prefect appointed by Liu Biao.

Compared with Shen Dan and Shen Yi, Kuai Yu's strength is very weak. If it wasn't because he was Zhuge Liang's eldest brother-in-law, Liu Feng would have already taken advantage of the situation and occupied Fangling.

However, since it is a relative relationship, it is necessary to sell the teacher to save face.

Kuai Qi's Fangling was full of soldiers, counting less than a thousand soldiers. The main reason why he, the prefect, survived in the cracks was that Fangling was too remote.

Cao Cao went south in a big way, focusing his energy on dealing with Sun Quan and Liu Bei, and he didn't care about worthless remote places like Fangling and small fish like Kuai Qi.

At the same time, Kuai Qi's position is still inclined to Cao Cao's side. Although the Jingxiang family Kuai is a supporter of Liu Biao, he is also Liu Biao's most staunch surrender faction.

When Liu Cong surrendered to Cao Cao, Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang also joined Cao Cao as counselors. With this layer of protection, the prefect position of Kuai Kui was considered secure.

In mid-October, Kuai Qi was both happy and worried when he learned that Liu Feng had led his army to the three eastern counties suddenly.

The good news is that Liu Feng is a disciple of his brother-in-law Zhuge Liang, and he also exchanged letters when he was in Longzhong the year before last. It is better to have friendship than strangers.

Now that Liu Feng has defeated the two strong neighbors Shen Dan and Shen Yi, at least Kuai Qi can sleep peacefully at night, so he doesn't have to worry about the clan soldiers of the Shen brothers coming to Fangling.

What is worrying is that behind Liu Feng is Jingzhou Shepherd Liu Bei. Fangling is not far from Xiangyang and Nanyang occupied by Cao Cao, and is sandwiched between the two major forces of Cao and Liu. Kuai Qi is very worried about his fate.

When Kuai Qi was in a dilemma, suddenly a servant from the inner house came to report that his wife had invited him, and his wife and brother Zhuge Jun had come to the mansion and was talking.

Zhuge Jun came to Fangling suddenly, which surprised Kuai Qi.

The temperament of this brother-in-law, he knew before that he was not keen on official career, why did he suddenly change his temper this time.

In the back house.

The eldest sister is like a mother, and Zhuge Jun is being held by the elder sister Zhuge's family, carefully asking about the situation of her natal family, Zhuge Jun has nothing to say here, Zhuge's main question is about the two brothers Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jin.

Brothers of the same family, defecting to different forces separately, is the survival practice of families in this era.

No matter which side is destroyed, it will not affect the continuation of the other family branch, and the Zhuge family is the same.

Of course, if possible, the Zhuge family hopes that the two younger brothers Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jin can live well.

As soon as Kuai Qi and Zhuge Jun met, Zhuge Jun didn't make any temptations. He directly talked about the purpose of coming to Fangling in front of Zhuge's face, and took out Zhuge Liang's letter and handed it to Kuai Qi.

Kuai Qi received the letter and read it, his face was cloudy.

The changes in the current situation are dazzling. Chibi Cao Cao was defeated, Liu Bei's reputation in Jingzhou is growing, and Zhuge Liang's status is also rising. Kuai Qi didn't care much about this wife and brother before, but now he finds out that Zhuge Liang has far away from him. The eldest brother-in-law was left behind.

"Ziheng, you also know that in Fangling City, there are troops led by Lu Jie stationed there. If I join Liu Jingzhou, if the city is in turmoil, even your elder sister may be in danger."

Lu Jie was originally a general under Liu Biao's command. During the Battle of Yanshan Mountain in the second year of Chuping, Lu Jie lured Sun Jian into the mountain with a strategy of luring the enemy to go deep. Lu Jie's hand.

It stands to reason that Lu Jie was able to kill Sun Jian, and his military achievements are not low, so Liu Biao should be reused, but this is not the case.

After Sun Ce and Sun Quan brothers occupied Jiangdong and killed Huang Zu, Lu Jie suddenly seemed to have changed from brave to timid.

Liu Biao appointed him to guard Xiakou. Lu Jie was so frightened that his face turned ashen, and he said he would not be sick. Finally, he asked his friend Kuai Liang, and finally found a position in Fangling County, which is farthest from Jiangdong.

Zhuge Jun waved his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Brother-in-law, Lu Jie is over sixty years old, he is dying, and he dare not even go into battle to kill the enemy, so why should he be afraid? When the general ordered me to come to Fangling, he had already sent A group of people sneaked into the city, and there are also soldiers outside the city to respond, as long as the brother-in-law has the intention of joining, there is no need to worry about safety."

Zhuge Jun is full of confidence and is full of confidence in winning Fangling.

With the successive victories in the Western Front, especially after the heads of Shen Dan and Shen Yi were cut down by Lu Lingqi and Ding Feng, Deng Ai and Guan Yinping couldn't stand it anymore. They discussed with Zhuge Junyi and decided to take a risk. , captured and killed Lu Jie, forced Kuai Qi, and took Fangling in one fell swoop before Liu Feng returned to his teacher.

October [-]th.

Kuai Qi hosted a banquet for Lu Jie in the prefect's mansion. While the wine was intoxicating, Deng Ai and Guan Yinping suddenly led troops out of the back house. Lu Jie tried to escape in panic, but Guan Yinping shot an arrow in the forehead and threw him down immediately. on the ground.

After Lu Jie died, Kuai Qi, under the protection of Deng Ai and others, issued an order as the prefect of Anjun. The turmoil in the city gradually subsided, and Fangling fell into Liu Feng's hands.

After taking down the East Three Counties, Liu Feng, in the name of being appointed by General Zuo and Jingzhou Mu Liu Bei, officially began to build the framework of the East Three Counties to govern the political army, and brought the three counties into the scope of governance.

The prefect of Shangyong was led by Liu Feng himself, and Mi Fang was in charge of specific government affairs.Kuai Qi continued to serve as the prefect of Fangling, and Liu Feng hoped to continue to transport materials from the three eastern counties through the Kuai family line in exchange for necessary living materials.

The position of the prefect of Xicheng was handed over to Lu Qi, that is, Lu Lingqi. The soldiers of the trapped camp performed well in this battle against the Shen brothers. Giving them the ruling power of a county was also a means for Liu Feng to win over this dependent army.

In terms of internal affairs, Liu Feng simultaneously promulgated a series of multiple measures such as land division, commerce, and light taxes. He opened up Xicheng, Shangyong, Fangling and other county towns and their subordinate counties, and allowed people to enter the city to sell furs, bamboo wares, and buy salt. Farm tools and other necessities.

Only with circulation can there be commerce, and only with commerce can development be possible. On this point, Liu Feng's insight is much more far-sighted than local tyrants such as Shen Dan and Shen Yi.

While easing the conflict between Han and barbarians, the remaining members of the Shen family were dispersed, the die-hard members were either killed or forced labor, and the rest of the prisoners were filled into Liu Feng's ministries.

The expansion of Liu Feng's strength in the three eastern counties made Taoist Zhang Lu, who was thinking about infiltrating eastward, very unhappy.

Zhang Lu has been in a corner of Hanzhong for more than [-] years. Although the site is small, the business is still quite good. It has been Zhang Lu's long-cherished wish to expand the influence of Wu Dou Mijiao from Hanzhong.

Dongsan County originally belonged to Hanzhong, which is a good direction for expansion. Shen Dan and Shen Yi blocked it before, but now that Liu Feng has been replaced, Zhang Lu feels that the opportunity has come.

　Thanks for the 100 reward from the crazy brothers, and thank you for your support.Lu Jie is Lu Gong. Here Lu Jie's deeds are based on historical materials. Lu Jie followed Liu Cong to Cao Cao. In the novel, Lu Jie was killed by Cheng Pu.
