Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 366: Pacification of Jiangdong
Xing Daorong was indeed a little careless!
The Jiangdong noble families have sided with him, and the morale of the soldiers and horses is gone. It is clear that Sun Quan is just a lonely man!

Xing Daorong had never expected that even though he was so alone, someone would help him escape.

This time, he was careless after all.

Come to think of it, even Yuan Shu had his own direct military generals, and Dong Zhuo had people who fought for him, let alone Sun Quan?
I can't swim across the river to chase Sun Quan right now.

Even if Ling Tong was a good swimmer, he couldn't chase after him like that.

I can only regret and say it's a pity!
No matter what, once Moling was taken and Sun Quan fled north, all the lands in Jiangdong were pacified.

The six counties of Jiangdong had a population of 253,000 households, 22,000 officials, 1.3 million men, women, old and young, 2.8 million hu of rice and grain, and more than 5,000 ships, all of which belonged to Liu Bei.

The major event had been decided, and a notice was issued to reassure the people, and all the treasuries and granaries were sealed.

However, reorganizing the six counties is also a very complicated matter. Fortunately, the aristocratic families in Jiangdong almost all joined Liu Bei seamlessly, making everything go much more smoothly.

And Xing Daorong soon got a new job!
Governor of Yangzhou
He is said to be the governor of Yangzhou, but in fact he is the leader of Jiangdong.

After a little renovation, the Wu Hou Mansion became the Left General's Mansion.

but
It is quite difficult to let Xing Daorong take charge of Jiangdong.

He needs a group of capable people.

So he went to Liu Bei and asked for some people to help him.

If it was a confidant like Bao Long, there was no need to mention Lu Ji, Gu Yong, Bu Zhi, Ling Tong, and Zhuge Jin, all of whom were given important positions.

But this staffing is certainly not enough.

So Xing Daorong directly made a list and gave it to Liu Bei.
"Mi Fang, Zhao Fan, Wei Yan."

Liu Bei, who was still in Chaisang, even found it a little funny when he saw the list Xing Daorong gave him.

Who are these people?
Wei Yan was fine, but Liu Bei knew Mi Fang and Zhao Fan, and they didn't have much talent.
However, these two people had a close relationship with Xing Daorong, so although Liu Bei smiled bitterly, he still agreed.

Look down again
But I saw a name, Liu Ba!

When Liu Bei entered Sichuan, this man was unwilling to surrender, so much so that Zhang Fei almost went to him in person to reason with him.

Liu Ba and Xing Daorong have nothing to do with each other. I don't know why Xing Daorong chose him.
Although Liu Ba was a native of Yizhou, he felt embarrassed to leave his hometown. But as long as Xing Daorong asked, Liu Bei had no reason to refuse.

Not to mention Liu Ba alone, even if he wanted a group of people, Liu Bei would not say a word.

He immediately sent an order to Chengdu to transfer Liu Ba to Jiangdong to find Xing Daorong.

After Xing Daorong captured Moling, he was even busier than during the war.

However, I have to say that the Moling built by Sun Quan is really nice, and the scenery is very beautiful.

In the misty water town of Jiangnan, the shadows of oil-paper umbrellas float on the quaint stone bridge.

Xing Daorong stood on the top of the pavilion with a sharp gaze, and the newly conquered Jiangdong was under his control.

Lu Ji, Gu Yong, Bu Zhi, Ling Tong, Zhuge Jin and others gathered together and sat around a "conference table" converted from a black-sailed boat.

I have to say that Sun Quan is very romantic. Take the meeting on the boat for example, it is quite romantic.

The air was filled with the faint scent of ink and tea smoke. Xing Daorong asked calmly, "Everyone, Jiangdong has been peaceful recently, and stabilizing the people's hearts is the most important thing. Is there any unusual movement now?"

Lu Ji's eyes were solemn. He was now under Xing Daorong, and his status was much better than when Sun Quan was here!

But he said: "Mostly it is stable, but there are some bandits who take advantage of the turbulent times to cause chaos."

There is a reason why Lu Ji looks unhappy.

The biggest role of the Jiangdong noble families here is to maintain stability. Now that bandits are everywhere, isn't it because they are not doing their job well?
He immediately added, "Don't worry, General. I will definitely wipe out those thieves!"

Xing Daorong felt relieved after hearing what Lu Ji said.

After thinking for a while, he knocked on the table and said, "But if the law is not clear, will it cause bandits to arise among the people?"

When this question was asked, everyone became worried again.

I thought Xing Daorong had a hidden meaning in what he said, that the law was too harsh or that it was made arbitrarily.

But she had no idea that Xing Daorong's thoughts were really simple and unpretentious.

How could the common people of the Chinese nation rebel unless they could no longer survive?
However, Lu Ji didn't know what he was thinking, and only explained: "Absolutely not, it's all about stabilizing the people's hearts."

As he spoke, Gu Yong said, "The people are willing to have beautiful things when they see them. This is teaching them to be extravagant. If they are extravagant without restraint, they cannot be supported. The people will lose their roots and pursue trivial things."

"It is not impossible to obtain it without any effort, so the gentlemen do not hesitate to cheat, and those who carry swords boast of killing people to justify the seizure, and the world does not know shame, so the evil deeds are gradually proliferating."

"Beautiful things, rare and bizarre things are naturally pleasing to the ears and eyes, so when nourishment is lost, one becomes lazy; when music is lost, one becomes licentious; when propriety is lost, one becomes frivolous; when education is lost, one becomes false."

These words sounded too flowery, leaving Xing Daorong completely confused and not understanding what they meant.

"When people are at peace and do not engage in any activities, thieves will be eliminated. When thieves are eliminated, punishments will be less frequent. When punishments are less frequent, yin and yang will be in harmony, the four seasons will be just right, wind and rain will come at their proper times, the grass and trees will flourish, the five grains will grow abundantly, the six domestic animals will thrive, and the people will not die young. This is the ultimate harmony."

"General Xing, this is a special time. Once everything is stable, everything will be fine."

it is good!
Xing Daorong finally understood the last sentence.

As for the front one?
Even if he didn't understand, he could only pretend to understand, because he has the personality of a great talent.

He just said, "That's the best. There are still many remnants of Sun Quan in Jiangdong. There may be some among these bandits. We have to be careful."

This is indeed what Xing Daorong is most worried about.

If there are remnants of Sun Quan hiding among those soldiers, it will be troublesome.
Speaking of this, Zhuge Jin also had something to say.

But he stepped forward and said, "There is another matter. Although Sun Quan has left, his family, big and small, are all left here. What should we do?"

This is quite troublesome.

Xing Daorong didn't have a good impression of Sun Quan's family.

Although the disaster did not affect the family, but.
Xing Daorong was actually very angry about the fact that Sun Quan had killed Qiao Guolao!
If it weren't for that kid Sun Quan, there would have been no way that Qiao Guolao would have died. He should be living a good life now!
Xing Daorong felt a little uncomfortable, especially when he thought about the time when Qiao Guolao entrusted his daughter to him.

Although he felt uncomfortable, he still couldn't act rashly against these members of the Sun family.

But he said in a cold voice: "Is the Queen Mother still here?"

When Gu Yong heard this, he was surprised that Xing Daorong was still interested in Wu Guotai.

However, he also knew that Xing Daorong would not do anything to Wu Guotai, so he nodded and said, "Of course. At the moment, she is the one who is in charge of the Sun family."
