Chapter 88: Chapter 88: Jiangdong annexes Jiujiang County
Leaving from "Shangshan Sihao", the three of Fusu chose an inaccessible path down the mountain, and while admiring the scenery, they discussed the matter of recruiting Ying Yao.

"Young Master, this 'Shangshan Sihao' is really weird. If you don't want to come out to help Daqin, it would be better to just say it. Why do you have to bring out Ying Yao to perfuse it." Meng Yi complained unhappily.

"Meng Yi, you don't understand, this matter is definitely not a whim of the 'Shangshan Sihao', it is obviously planned by these four people long ago."

"Young master, why don't you understand, why don't you tell me?"

"You can't say it, think for yourself." Fusu glanced at Meng Yi, ignored Meng Yi's pleading eyes, and did not explain any more, but continued to hang Meng Yi's curiosity.

Meng Yi looked at Fusu resentfully, but Fusu ignored his curiosity at all and kept silent.

The three leisurely descended the mountain while admiring the scenery of Shangshan.

Before Fusu reached the foot of the mountain, he was blocked by two interrogators from Xianyang on the mountain road. After the interrogators saluted Fusu, he handed a letter to Fusu. Fusu opened it and read it immediately. stand up.

It turned out that Peng Yue had already helped Wang Li and Ying Bu take back the entire Changsha County from Xiang Yu and Xiang Zhuang, and the Jiangdong Xiang family was not reconciled to the loss of Changsha County. Taking advantage of the deaths of Hu Hai and Zhao Gao, Jiujiang When the county was chaotic and had no master, they sent 3 troops to attack Jiujiang County, and then relied on these [-] people to defend Jiujiang County and confront Zhang Han across the Huai River. This is like two elementary school students fighting. However, I found a kindergarten kid to vent my hatred.

Zhang Han led the army to confront the Xiang family in the Huai River, which made Fusu a little confused.Both Hu Hai and Zhao Gao are dead, so what is the significance of Zhang Han's confrontation?What is he still insisting on?While thinking, Fusu passed the letter in his hand to Meng Yi.

After a while, Meng Yi finished reading the letter and handed the letter back to Fusu.

"My lord, Jiangdong has already taken action. How about we also send a powerful force to take back the remaining counties."

"Meng Yi, although Hu Hai is dead, the counties and counties under his rule are not so easy to accept. Due to Zhao Gao's misconduct, the people under Hu Hai's rule are miserable, lacking in food and clothing, and bandits and grass bandits are rampant. , once we take back those counties and counties at this time, will the millions of hungry people be in control or not? Will the bandits be suppressed or not?"

"Young master, I also know that this is not the best time to recover Donghai County and other places, but it is really uncomfortable to watch Jiangdong take advantage of the situation." Meng Yi said unwillingly.

"With Jiangdong's strength, swallowing Jiujiang County at this time is tantamount to swallowing a turtle. In less than a year and a half, the money and food accumulated by Xiang and his son in the past few years will be exhausted in Jiujiang County. To appease the people, Fighting against the rebellion and bandits is enough for the Xiang family and his son. After one or two years, I am afraid that Jiangdong will no longer be able to manage Jiujiang County. How will the Xiang family and his son deal with Jiujiang County at that time? Even if they want to give up Jiujiang County, the Xiang family will I will try to collect some capital from the people of Jiujiang County, otherwise I will die at a loss. The only way for Xiang is to reach out to the people of Jiujiang County. Taxation and conscription are inevitable. You said that the people of Jiujiang County will obey Is he Xiang's intention? At that time, my Daqin will be able to take back Jiujiang County without bloodshed as long as I spend some money and food. I am afraid that Xiang's end will be nothing but a bamboo basket. I hope that Jiangdong can annex a few more counties. I don’t believe that millions of starving people can’t kill him, Xiang’s father and son.”

"Young master has far-reaching plans, and I am convinced." Meng Yi looked at Fusu with admiration, and said to Fusu sincerely.

"I ordered that Peng Yue take over the defense of Changsha County, command an army of 9 troops to garrison Changsha County, and immediately strengthen the defense of Changsha County; Wang Li and Yingbu immediately led the remaining [-] people to Hexi to assist Shusun Tongjing Leaving the land west of the river; immediately blockade Jiangdong and the original counties and counties under Huhai's rule, and not a grain of corn flow into these two places within two years, and violators will be punished as collaborating with the enemy."

"No, I will arrange it immediately." Meng Yi took the order.

After a while, Meng Yi drafted an edict according to Fusu's request, and handed it over to Xun Bing.

"Meng Yi, the most troublesome thing right now is how to recruit Ying Yao, why don't you take another trip to Huaiyang Mountain for me?"

"My lord, this Ying Yao is no better than 'Shangshan Sihao'. He is very stubborn. With my clumsy tongue and clumsy mouth, I'm afraid I won't be able to persuade Ying Yao. Even if I go, it will be futile."

"Forget it, let's go back to Xianyang and make plans." Seeing Meng Yi's face showing embarrassment, Fu Su said helplessly, obviously Meng Yi was hit by the 'Shangshan Sihao'.

The next day after returning to Xianyang, Fusu raised the issue of recruiting Ying Yao at the court meeting.

Most of the ministers didn't know about Ying Yao, only Li Si and a few well-informed veterans knew about Ying Yao.

"Prime Minister, you must know Ying Yao, so tell everyone about this person!" Fusu gestured to Li Si.

Li Si didn't hesitate, he stood up directly from the chair, and turned around to tell everyone about Ying Yao.

"The Ying clan in Huaiyang is the descendant of Uncle Ying in the Zhou Dynasty, and the younger generation of the Ying clan is headed by this Ying Yao. , He was reluctant to go out to be an official, and the old minister thought that it would not be easy to recruit Ying Yao."

After hearing what Li Si said, all the ministers looked at each other in blank dismay, and even Fusu shook his head helplessly, apparently not having much confidence in recruiting Ying Yao.

Just when Fusu was at a loss, Zhang Liang took the initiative to stand up.

Fusu noticed Zhang Liang standing in the train early in the morning, and only then did he know that Zhang Liang had returned from South Vietnam. Fusu was planning to leave Zhang Liang alone after the court meeting was over, and wanted to hear his report on the situation in Guilin County, South Vietnam. Unexpectedly, this guy took the initiative to stand up at this time.

"My lord, I am willing to go to Huaiyang Mountain to recruit Ying Yao for my lord."

Zhang Liang looked at Fusu firmly, and took over the matter of recruiting Ying Yao.

Hearing that Zhang Liang had taken over the matter of recruiting Ying Yao, all the colleagues looked at Zhang Liang sympathetically. They really couldn't figure out why Zhang Liang always had trouble with him. He went to South Vietnam with Wu Guang before, but was captured by the King of Nanyue. To recruit the stubborn Ying Yao.

"Young, you don't know how deep you are!" An old official sighed to several colleagues around him with grief.

"Sigh, it seems that being captured has hit him hard!" Another minister sighed helplessly, and made this shocking assertion to Zhang Liang.

"Zhang Liang, I don't think this is difficult, or forget it, I'll find another way, what do you think?" Fu Suyu persuaded earnestly.

It is a good thing to be willing to recruit Ying Yao for yourself, but recruiting is not something that can be done with enthusiasm. If Zhang Liang is hit again this time, I will really feel sorry for this iron-headed boy.

"My lord, I don't think this is difficult, so please give me permission to go to Huaiyang."

Seeing that Zhang Liang had made up his mind, Fusu didn't want to say anything else, so as not to embarrass Zhang Liang, so he reluctantly agreed to Zhang Liang's suggestion and sent Zhang Liang to Huaiyang to recruit Ying Yao.

Two days later, Zhang Liang left Xianyang and headed for Huaiyang.
