Huan Yi hurriedly opened the letter, and Liu Jing's palace-like handwriting came into view. He looked at the contents of the letter with a look of shock on his face. He read it over and over again two or three times before finally making sure that his eyes were clear.
Even with Huan Yi's calm character, he couldn't help but feel excited, waving the letter and bursting into laughter.
Huan Yi's abnormality not only attracted the attention of the surrounding people, but also attracted the attention of officials in the county such as Gong Cao Gujun in the distance.
Gu Jun is twenty-eight or nine years old this year, about seven feet tall, with a black face and short mustache, and a steady temperament. He comes from the Gu family of Leiyang, and his grandfather Gu Yong served as a minister in the first year of Jianning (168), the first year of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty.
When Gu Yong, the governor of Yulin in Jiaozhou, was in office, he used his kindness to recruit hundreds of thousands of Wuhu barbarians and established seven new counties to the west of Yulin County.
It is not difficult to see from this that the huge population of the southern counties includes Changsha and Lingling counties. Although their population once exceeded one million at their peak, they included hundreds of thousands of Jingman tribesmen.
The moisture in Changsha may be relatively small, while the moisture in Lingling is relatively large, so that the registered population of Jingman far exceeds that of Han people.
When Liu Jing took charge of Lingling, he checked the household registration and found that there were only more than 50,000 Han Chinese households registered in Lingling, with a population of 300,000. He was speechless for a while.
Gu Jun and other officials couldn't help but look at each other in confusion. They didn't know why Huan Yi kept laughing. They all put down what they were doing and hurried back to Huan Yi.
Before Gu Jun and others could ask, Huan Yi took the initiative to answer: "Zi Heng, gentlemen, I just received a letter from Liu Zhongda. Liu Zhongda wiped out 100,000 Northern troops under the city of Ling County, Kuai Yue committed suicide, and Liu Pan was killed."
Only Cai Mao saw that the situation was not good and fled by boat. After this battle, Liu Zhongda will regain Changsha and it will be just around the corner."
All the officials were stunned by this earth-shattering news, and they did not recover for a long time. If it is true as he said, Liu Jing will not only regain Changsha, but it will be just around the corner, and the entire Jingnan will be in his pocket.
Huan Yi and Liu Jing are close friends. This is a matter that everyone knows. The Guiyang County Government, which had previously been resistant to Huan Yi, would probably come to Leiyang immediately if they heard about Liu Jing's victory.
, welcome Huan Yi to take office.
It's no wonder that Huan Yi couldn't hide his joy and laughed out of control. Regardless of whether it was public or private, it was great news for him.
Moreover, it also has great benefits for Gu Jun and other Huan Yi to be close to the officials. When Huan Yi takes office in the future, he will definitely not forget the humiliation of the past and will definitely dismiss all the high officials in the county. The vacant positions will naturally be filled by them.
"With the power of one city, he defeated an army that overwhelmed the country. This is Tian Dan's achievement in ancient times! Liu Lingling is the best in literature, virtue, and martial arts. How can there be such a person in the world?"
Gu Lang shook his head in admiration.
"Liu Lingling is really a god..." All the officials rushed to agree, fearing to fall behind others. Some even declared: "Jimo, where Tian Dan is guarding, is as rich and prosperous as Linzi, the capital of Qi, while Liu Lingling is guarding Jimo.
Lingxian is just a small town in Chu, and its achievements are even more difficult than Tiandan."
Huan Yi smiled and shook his head. This is "the benevolent sees benevolence and the wise see wisdom." Regardless of whether the two battles were difficult or easy, at least in his heart, Liu Jing's talent was greater than Tian Dan.
At this time, Gu Jun suggested to Huan Yi: "Mingting, in my opinion, we should inform Guiyang County of this good news as soon as possible so that they can prepare in advance."
When Huan Yi heard this, he put away the smile on his face. Every time he thought about the fools in the well who had no foresight in Guiyang County, he became angry. Now that the situation was reversed, he wanted to see how these idiots would end up.
Huan Yi sneered in his heart and said, "What Zi Heng said makes sense. You can arrange this."
"No." Gu Jun bowed and responded.

Almost at the same time, Deng Yuan, who had taken refuge in Leiyang for the time being, also received a letter from Liu Jing. In the past month, she could finally let go of her worries about her husband.
Deng Yuan now no longer wears linen and mourning, but has changed into a plain gauze Zen clothes as thin as cicada wings and as light as smoke. Her thick black hair has also been tied up again, combed into a pony bun, with exquisite hair on it.
Hotan hosta and South Sea pearls make Deng Yuan, who is already beautiful and beautiful, even more beautiful.
Yes, Deng Yuan has finished observing filial piety. She started to observe filial piety for her father in July of the year before last, and it was exactly twenty-five months until August of this year.
In ancient times, three years of filial piety actually only required twenty-five months, because twenty-four months equaled two years, and the twenty-fifth month entered the third year. Of course, if there is a leap month, it may
It is necessary to observe twenty-six or even twenty-seven months. Some people even insist on observing the full year, which is thirty-six months, which cannot be unified.
"Young Master, did Zhongda really win?" Stepmother Zhang asked in disbelief. Although she knew that her stepson was a very rare person in the world, but it was said that the Northern Army had an army of one hundred thousand, so he could win so easily.
Really? She thought that this battle would definitely be like Linxiang, and it would take a year or two before the winner could be determined.
Deng Yuan's heart was full of joy, and he nodded with a smile: "Yes, Liu Lang won, and the Northern Army was almost destroyed. Agu, I believe it won't be long before we can return to Lingxian, and maybe there will be a chance to return to Lin."
Hunan.”
To be honest, Ms. Zhang doesn’t miss Linxiang much. Her happiest days were when she was in Lingxian County. During the New Year and holidays, there was an endless stream of people bringing gifts to congratulate her from morning to night, almost filling the door of her house.
She really liked the feeling of being surrounded by stars, because it made her feel the respect she had never had before.
After moving to Leiyang, Huan Yi was a close friend of Liu Jingnai, so he always treated her as a son-nephew and served her very well, but after all, this place was no better than Lingxian. Now she desperately wanted to return to Lingxian.
Liu Rao arrogantly put his hands on his hips and said, "Haha, I knew that brother would definitely win."
Liu He smiled and exposed her: "Really? Then why I saw you hiding in the dormitory and crying secretly more than once."
Liu Rao's fair cheeks suddenly turned red, and he couldn't help but said angrily: "I didn't cry."
Liu He smiled and said nothing. Since he became a disciple of Huan Yi last year and became an official in Leiyang County Temple, he seemed to have grown up overnight and no longer bickered with his sister all day long like in the past.
Deng Yuan read the letter and handed it to Liu He. The latter was sixteen years old this year. Perhaps in Zhang's eyes, he was still a child who had not grown up, but Liu Jing and Deng Yuan no longer regarded him as a child.
Rather, they are members who can participate in family decision-making.
Liu He took the letter and read it word by word. Liu Rao stood aside and read it, saying: "It's a pity that the sister-in-law has taken Hutou back to her hometown in Lingling. When they heard the news, they should come back soon, right?"
