After Yang Hu was appointed governor of Jingzhou, he discovered that Jingzhou had run out of fuel after years of war. Even the rations for the defenders were not enough and could only last for more than ninety days. The soldiers complained, but Sima Liang, the governor of Jiangbei who guarded Xinye, turned a deaf ear.

Yang Hu then opened a trading market, exchanged supplies with Shuzhong and Jiangdong, and obtained rations for the soldiers.

Later, the people were appeased, ponds were opened to raise fish, fishing was carried out along the river, and beans and millet were replanted.

Send people to Luoyang to apply for grain transportation.

People's hearts gradually calm down.

At this time, Xiangyang's biggest worry was in Shicheng. The Wu garrison was only more than 70 miles away from Xiangyang, and they often came out to harass the surrounding people.

Yang Hu set up a large banner in the city of Xiangyang and placed three suspicious soldiers in a posture of asking a large army to counterattack Jiangling.

The defenders of Shicheng were afraid and abandoned the city and fled.

The surrounding area of ​​Xiangyang was safe, and the pressure on the patrols was greatly reduced. Yang Hu focused all his energy on developing Jingzhou and marching to the camp.

The soil and water in Jingzhou have always been fertile, and within a few months, 800 hectares of farmland were opened.

Later, he vigorously established Xiangxu, applauded people from both near and far, recruited mountain people, and cultivated fields for refugees, and Jingzhou flourished with vitality.

The people of Jianghan and Han all feel like this.

Some people from Wu came to seek refuge with their old and young, and Yang Hu openly allowed them to go to the Central Plains or stay in Xiangyang.

Yang Hu's ability to lead troops and fight is average, but his governance ability is definitely the best in the world.

The weather in Jingzhou has changed.

In Jiangling City, Lu Kang was looking at the secret report sent back from Xiangyang by Xizuo, and exclaimed, "Toast in the Central Plains, Xiangyang cannot be conquered!"

Wu Yan said: "It's just Yang Hu. Wasn't he also captured by the Qin people back then?"

Zuo Yi said: "At this time, at that time, Xiangyang was backed by the Central Plains, and Yang Hu managed the business properly, and was deeply troubled by Jiangdong."

There is actually a second part to what he said. Sima Yan gave Yang Hu his full support, which was equivalent to the national power of most of the Central Plains tilting towards Xiangyang.

But Sun Hao behind Lu Kang is hard to describe.

"You can't let Yang Hu manage his business with peace of mind. In the end, the general is willing to lead an army to attack Xiangyang, destroy its farmland, and destroy its fortress!" Wu Yan said with cupped hands.

Lu Kangwen said in a warm voice: "A new man has arrived in Jiangling, but the hearts of the people are not attached to him. If the war is not going well, all the hearts of the people will be gone. At this time, it is better to be still than to move. The country's serious danger is inside but not outside!"

"The governor means... Zhong Hui?" Zuo Yi whispered.

"This man is a snake and scorpion. How can Jiangdong be at peace if he is with His Majesty day and night?" Wu Yan's voice was loud, not afraid that the guards outside would hear him.

Lu Kang frowned and said nothing. Although Zhong Hui was uneasy and well-intentioned, even without Zhong Hui, Sun Hao would not be a good person.

Just as he was talking about Zhong Hui, someone outside said: "Captain, Zhong Hui's letter has arrived!"

After Lu fought against Shi Bao, he became famous and became one of the most influential figures in Jiangdong.

In addition, his appearance is extraordinary and his style is second to none in Jiangdong. He is very much like his father.

Zhong Hui will naturally come upon hearing the wind.

After Lu Kang read the letter, he smiled bitterly.

Zhong Hui used all kinds of flattering words, saying that he has admired you for a long time and only wished he could not meet him once, and that if he could meet you for a while and talk to him, this life would be enough...

Wu Yan and Zuo Yi blushed after seeing the letter...

"Zhong Hui is a bastard!" Wu Yan said angrily.

Lu Kang was both his boss and his boss, yet he was treated with such frivolous words by Zhong Hui.

"I have always known that this man has great ambitions. Sima Zhao treats him as Sikong, but he still can't reassure him. Now he has entered Jiangdong with ulterior motives." Zuo Yi also had a bad impression of Zhong Hui.

"Send me a letter. If Zhong Hui is interested, you can come to Jiangling to meet me!" Lu Kang said calmly.

Wu Yan's eyes lit up, "Haha, very good. If Zhong Hui comes here, I will get rid of this harm to the country first!"

Everyone in Jiangling had a bad impression of Zhong Hui, but Jiang Dong's view of Zhong Hui gradually changed.

There was no other reason. Zhong Hui repeatedly advised Sun Hao to cherish the country's strength, train his soldiers, and store grain and grass in order to wait for the future war between the East and the West, so that Wu could reap the benefits.

At first, Sun Hao pretended to give orders to support the people and open warehouses to provide relief to the people. But every few days, he revealed his true colors and began to carry out large-scale construction and construction of palaces. All officials from the court with two thousand stones were sent to the construction site to supervise the work, surround it with walls, and decorate pavilions and pavilions.

Stone and wood, extremely ingenious, and the cost is calculated in hundreds of millions.

Lu Kai and Zhong Hui tried their best to dissuade him.

Sun Hao didn't listen.

Che Jun, the governor of Kuaiji, and Zhang Yong, the governor of eastern Hunan, could not pay the money and were beheaded on the spot. They were reported to all the counties.

Sun Hao's concubine was so greedy that she sent people to the market to rob people of their property. Chen Sheng, the city's lieutenant general, enforced the law impartially, but Sun Hao ordered him to have his head cut off and throw himself under Siwang Mountain...

Zhongshu Pushe was a veteran of the Wei and Zhao dynasties. He majored in Wu history and was highly respected in the Wu Kingdom. He persuaded Sun Hao to give up the bad habit of drinking wine and was imprisoned by Sun Hao.

In the end, thanks to Zhong Hui's persuasion, Wei Zhao was absolved of his crime and was able to survive.

From then on, the people of Wu looked at Zhong Hui with admiration.

Zhong Hui was one of the most talented writers in the world. He was a master of metaphysics when he was in Luoyang. When he was still weak, he was as famous as Wang Bi. His articles were as good as those of the Seventh Son of Jian'an. His calligraphy was exquisite and he wrote many books. He often chanted things to describe his ambitions, and wrote "Peacock Fu"

, "Chrysanthemum Ode", "Chu Cu Lun" five volumes.

Scholars in Jiangdong rushed to pass it on, recite and copy it, and for a time Jianye paper was expensive.

Zhong Hui became famous and had many disciples.

Scholars rushed to make friends with him.

Only a few months after returning to Jianye, Zhong Hui had gained a lot of weight, and his eyes had become much gentler, as if he had been softened by Wu Nong's soft words from Jiangdong.

After receiving Lu Kang's letter, Zhong Hui laughed three times and cut off a strand of his hair, "It's a pity that my country is in a hurry and I can't come to Jiangling in person. This haircut will serve as my memorial to Lu Kang!"

After saying this, he ordered the funeral to be sent to Jiangling.

Arriving at Zhaoming Palace, Sun Hao was discussing Jingzhou's military affairs with General Ding Feng, Sikong Mengren, and Zuo Prime Minister Lu Kai.

Lu Kang annexed Shi Ji's tribe and family property, and several of Shi Ji's sons made trouble in front of Sun Hao.

It happened that Yang Hu took office, and Sun Hao couldn't wait to take action.

With Hefei in hand, Sun Hao naturally looked towards Xiangyang, always feeling that Xiangyang was not in his hands and his heart was not at ease.

As for Shi Ji's sons, Sun Hao sent them all to Lingnan to serve as local officials.

"Yang Hu's strength lies not in battles, but in governance. If Xiangyang is governed by him for several years, I'm afraid Jingzhou will not be owned by your majesty!" Zhong Hui will remember all famous people with extraordinary appearance. Yang Hu is seven feet three inches tall.

, with beautiful eyebrows and handsome appearance, Zhong Hui will certainly remember it clearly.

"Prime Minister, do you have any way to defeat the enemy?" Sun Hao became excited as soon as he saw Zhong Hui.

It is said that the Sun family members are all good-looking. Sun Ce was still known as Sun Lang of Jiangdong back then, and Sun Hao's appearance was not bad at first, but his appearance was born from his heart, and there was always a fierceness on his face, which made his facial features a little distorted.

Zhong Hui never let Sun Hao down, "Yang Hu was defeated and captured. After returning to Luoyang, Sima Yan was promoted to the throne three times a day. How could the officials in the Central Plains not be jealous?"

Ding Feng and Lu Kai did not dare to look at Sun Hao, and turned to Zhong Hui.

Zhong Hui also knew that Sun Hao didn't like others looking at him, so he turned his eyes to Ding Feng.

It seemed that Sun Hao was not in everyone's eyes.

"A divorce plan!" Ding Feng blurted out.

Back then, both Zhong Hui and Ding Feng secretly pushed for the estrangement between Shi Bao and Shi Bao.

The two are old allies.

"What the general said is true, the governor of Jiangbei of Jin State happens to be Sima Liang!" Zhong Hui said with a smile.
