Nanyang Governance.

It was already late at night, and Zhang Lang was still discussing matters with Zhuge Liang. "Kong Ming, what do you think Cao Cao will plan next? Will he continue to attack Nanyang?"

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly and said with a smile: "Even if Cao Cao wants to attack, it is difficult to do it! In the previous battle in Luoyang, Cao's army suffered heavy losses. Not long ago, they paid a considerable price to capture Xuanyuan Mountain, and also had logistics and supplies.

The loss is huge! Cao Cao is better than anyone else. He knows very well that if he forcibly advances regardless of his own situation, it will only be worth the loss! I concluded that Cao Cao would definitely not stay in Xuanyuan Mountain for a long time, and would retreat after setting up defense matters!"

Zhang Lang thought and nodded, "Cao Cao shouldn't attack again in the short term, right?"

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Cao Cao will not advance before the beginning of next spring! We should make full use of this period of rest and rectify internal affairs, and prepare for war." He clasped his fists at Zhang Lang, "Lord, now Luoyang and Nanyang are both ours."

The key points and weaknesses of the past year, if Cao Cao sets up a large army to attack Luoyang and Nanyang in two directions, our army will be in a very critical situation!”

Zhang Lang frowned and nodded.

Zhuge Liang said: "I have a strategy that can strengthen the defenses of the two places, so that Cao's army cannot easily advance!"

Zhang Lang's eyes lit up and he asked quickly: "What are the tricks Kong Ming has?"

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, took out two puffer rolls from his sleeve, stood up and presented them to Zhang Lang. Zhang Lang took the puffer roll and quickly spread one of them. When he saw that Zhang Lang was stunned, he was on the puffer roll.

Drawing a bird's-eye view of Nanyang City, this is not the main thing, the main thing is the dense tunnel structure in front of Nanyang City! Zhang Lang understood Zhuge Liang's intention. Zhuge Liang wanted to build a defense surrounded by authentic tunnels outside Nanyang City.

The system is used to strengthen the defense of Nanyang City. Zhang Lang is very happy.

"This method is good! Relying on the tunnel and the city together will definitely greatly strengthen Nanyang's defense!" Then he picked up another sheepskin and spread it out. The picture on it was similar to the one just now, but it was a bit larger.

It is a schematic diagram of the tunnel defense system in Luoyang.

Zhang Lang nodded, "This can add a barrier to the two cities! Even if Cao's army noticed the existence of the tunnel, it would be very difficult to seize it!" Zhang Lang thought for a while and said to Zhuge Liang: "Kong Ming, I want to appoint him."

You are the governor of Xiangyang, including the Nanyang area, and the civil affairs and military affairs of the two places. You have the right to make decisions at the moment!"

Zhuge Liang clasped his fists and said, "I will definitely not be humiliated!"

Zhang Lang smiled and said, "I can only feel at ease when Kong Ming sits in Jingxiang!"

Zhuge Liang was moved and hurriedly said to himself: "My lord is a mistake!"

Zhang Lang picked up a document in his hand, opened it, and read it. He frowned and said, "This imperial examination was delayed due to the war. It must be carried out immediately now. The exam time will be set for next month's fifteenth." Zhuge Liang agreed with his fists.

.

Zhang Lang put down the official documents and walked out of the study, with Zhuge Liang following closely behind.

Zhang Lang looked at the starry man in the sky, and an indescribable sense of pride surged in his heart, murmured: "The country is so beautiful, which has led countless heroes to bow their backs!" He looked east and asked with a smile: "Kong Ming, you said

What are Sun Jian and the others doing now?"

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "What else can they do? It's nothing more than sleeping on firewood and tasting gall to wait for the opportunity!"

Zhang Lang thought, "The Sun family's father and son are so heroic, with powerful generals under his command, and with wise men such as Zhou Yu, they should not be underestimated!"

Zhuge Liang nodded with deep feelings, "The reason why our army was able to turn defeat into victory and win Jingxiang is largely due to their eagerness to achieve success! I think after this time, they will definitely learn from their lessons and fight steadily.

!They will definitely not attack us rashly anymore, but once the opportunity appears, they will definitely pounce on us like a wolf!"

Zhang Lang frowned and said, "We are from Bingzhou in the north to Xiangyang in the south. Thousands of miles are on the front line, and the pressure is too great! I wonder if we can take the initiative to attack and annihilate Sun Jian and the others first?"

Zhuge Liang said: "This is indeed a good plan, but we can't do it now!"

"Why? Oh, yes, our navy can't compete with them at all. To attack Jiangdong, we must cross the Yangtze River. The first thing on the river is the navy! Jiangdong navy is the best in the world, and we cannot covet them for the time being!

Alas, it's really troublesome!"

Zhuge Liang clasped his fists and said, "Lord, don't be too hasty. We should concentrate on stocking up money and food to solve internal problems. Now we are not stable internally. There are bandits everywhere and the gentry is disunited. If these problems cannot be solved well, they will cause us very serious.

Influence!"

Zhang Lang nodded.

...

Chaisang. The green mountains on the left are like tents, and a green scene under the sunlight emits a green halo; a big river winds east along the foot of the mountain, sparkling with white sails; an endless plain outside the city

On the top, the green rice is connected into a green ocean. The breeze blows, and green ripples are waving. A few farmers and a few oxen are busy in the fields. The water sky on the right

Connecting, looking around, it seems like facing the sea, a group of water birds flew out of the random reed marsh, chirping and flapping their wings to the east, fishing boats are scattering in the water, and the unique fishing song echoes between the water and the sky

Looking further away, there was an artificial hamlet located on the water surface. The signs and orders were clearly displayed. The large tower ships and the small whale-like clutchs were in and out of the thirteen water gates.

The Jiangdong Navy is training nervously.

This is the location of Chaisang, the Jiangdong Prefecture.

Chaisang, a county established here in the Western Han Dynasty, was named after the Chaisang Mountain. It is generally located near the current Jiujiang River. In this era when the princes were competing for hegemony, it was the political and economic center of the Sun family in Jiangdong.

Sun Jian stood on the tower of the mansion and looked into the distance to the west, frowned slightly, as if he was still thinking about something. Sun Jian was not very tall, but he was strong and had extraordinary temperament, with a national face, a firm look, and a short beard at the jaw.

People who are known as Jiangdong Tigers are definitely not ordinary people.

Zhou Yu and Lu Su came behind Sun Jian. Zhou Yu wore armor and cloaks on his shoulders. He was extremely heroic and martial, while Lu Su was dressed in Confucian scholars and had extraordinary aura.

"Lord." The two saluted together.

Sun Jian turned around and saw the two, and smiled slightly, "The two gentlemen are here? No need to be polite!"

The two straightened their waists, Zhou Yu clasped his fists and said, "Lord, I just received a detailed report. Cao Cao had seized Xuanyuan Mountain. Lu Bu was defeated and retreated to Nanyang!" Sun Jian nodded and asked, "Did Cao Cao continue the attack?"

Zhou Yu shook his head, "No, according to all the signs, Cao Cao should not continue to attack Nanyang! After all, Cao Cao also suffered a lot of losses and needs rest!"
