The Wankou waters, under the unified planning of Yuan Yao and Liu Ye and other advisers, defeated tens of thousands of Jingxiang Navy troops under Huang Zu's troops in one battle.

After this battle, the Jingzhou army would have no chance of attacking eastward for several years.

As Jingzhou Governor Liu Biao then sent Kuai Yue to send troops to aid Jiangxia, Yuan Yao naturally felt that it was not the time to confront the Jingzhou army at the moment, so he ordered the troops to suspend their march.

Then, he slowly retreated to Lujiang.

It also uses the Ankou, which runs across the north bank of the Yangtze River as a logistics center for the transfer of grain channels, as the base for preventing the confrontation and confrontation with Jiangxia County in the lower reaches, and protects the safety of the Ancheng City in the county.

at the same time.

In order to enable Zhou Yu, who was training the navy, to fight against Huang Zu more favorably, Yuan Yao thought carefully and decided to build a military fortress in the upper reaches of Ankou and Xunyang on the opposite side of Chaisang.

This is used as a strategic buffer for Ankou, and on the other hand, it supports each other with Chaisang and poses a strategic threat to Jingzhou from the flanks.

A few days later.

Yuan Yao and his main army with nearly 50,000 people and a powerful force escorted more than 10,000 prisoners of war back to Wancheng.

At this moment, inside and outside the Anhui City city was extremely sensation. The streets and alleys, and outside the villages were crowded with bees and pupas, and they all welcomed them together.

The scene was once extremely grand.

Looking at the people's welcome expressions, it was not like fake, but mostly from true feelings. Yuan Yao rode his horse and gradually walked through the crowd, slowly feeling the enthusiastic compliments of the people, and his heart was also extremely hot.

This is the simplest people under the rule...

After recapturing Lujiang County, he strictly ordered the rectification of the administration of officials and completely solved the entrenched forces in the county that Lu Kang, the prefect of Lujiang, was unable to be quelled.

Let the scholars and people in all counties live a stable life.

All the people are content and can choose to support themselves from the bottom of their hearts.

At this moment, Yuan Yao was thinking, and seemed to have gradually realized the meaning of "what the people want".

After entering the city.

Yuan Yao did not ask the troops to enter the city to disturb the daily lives of the people, but ordered the camp outside the city to rest and recuperate, so as to accumulate energy and relieve the fatigue caused by the continuous struggle for months.

Since Lujiang was pacified before, Lujiang Prefect Lu Kang was unfortunately killed in a battle with Sun Ce, Yuan Yao temporarily promoted the county chief from the original officials to serve as county magistrate.

But until now, it seems that the new county magistrate's governance achievements have not met the expectations that Yuan Yao had been looking forward to.

For a moment, he naturally had the idea of ​​re-appointing the county magistrate.

What's more, the two counties in Jiangbei are also the current foundation of our side.

It is not a long-term solution to make it work for outsiders!

This is the right way to promote the talents under your command...

Thinking of these in my heart, Yuan Yao naturally sent a letter to Shouchun quickly, and discussed and exchanged opinions with his father on this matter. At the same time, he sent it with him naturally. The news of the Jingzhou Army was also very good.

After properly handling and settled everything, Yuan Yao couldn't help feeling more and more exhausted in his body and mind.

For months, he has been through the military to conquer and fight against all regions. Perhaps only he himself can know how much pressure he contains in his heart.

So that at this moment, Yuan Yao couldn't help but murmur:

"Oh, it's really not easy to fight for the world!"

only.

Now that the entire Yangzhou has been initially pacified, the external enemy's covetousness for Yangzhou has been temporarily curbed, and our side has officially entered a rest period.

Just as there is not much to do, Yuan Yao also wants to take a break at the right time, so he travels alone in the wild to relax without disturbing the soldiers of his personal guards.

Although Yuan Yao ordered his personal guard Xu Chu to do not need to escort him with him this time.

However, Xu Chu was extremely competent and could not rest assured of Yuan Yao's safety. Therefore, he also selected several extraordinary guards from the guard camp to disguise themselves and protect their safety at any time in secret.

...

Yuan Yao did not wear armor at this moment, but took off his battle robe, long sword and other soldiers, but instead changed into an ordinary Confucian uniform and quietly wandered around the surrounding suburbs outside Anhui City.

On the one hand, he quietly inspected various fertile fields and villages, inspecting the local people's livelihood, customs, and cultural geography.

On the other hand, I also travel alone to relax to relieve the pressure accumulated in my heart over the past few days.

Walking slowly on the official road, slowly looking forward to the natural scenery around him, did play a role in cultivating sentiment, and Yuan Yao's mood gradually relaxed.

Suddenly he enjoyed such a peaceful life.

What can you get by fighting on the battlefield and dominate the world, fighting for power to the death?

However, this is just a fantasy after all. Giving up fighting for the world is not going to give up your life to others?

The so-called "I am the pedestal and you are the fish."

Under the severe blows of the chaotic times in the late Han Dynasty, wars, locust plagues, and epidemics, if you are an ordinary person, you will not be able to control your own lives.

With a hint of relaxation, Yuan Yao unconsciously walked into a bamboo forest.

The bamboo forest is surrounded by crystal clear, green bamboos, and dense bamboo leaves seem to block the outer light like oil paper umbrellas, but it seems to have a different charm when facing the forest.

Walking carefully from outside to inside.

Walking among the bamboo forest, Yuan Yao did feel a slight change in his mood.

He suddenly understood why those poets like to go to such elegant places to recite poems and essays.

In similar places, it can indeed bring you a different experience.

Yuan Yao gradually walked among the bamboo forest, and at this time he seemed to have abandoned all the distracting thoughts in the world, and instead expressed an extremely relaxed mood in his heart.

He walked quietly...

But suddenly, my ears and eyes moved, as if there were sounds coming from deep in the bamboo forest...

Seeing this, Yuan Yao couldn't help but hold his foot in his eyes and listened carefully.

After hearing this for a long time, Yuan Yao confirmed that the sound made seemed to be the sound of a piano.

However, the sound of this piano is long and long, very beautiful, just like the sound of nature, which makes people still feel endless aftertaste.

For a moment, Yuan Yao unconsciously followed the sound of the piano and slowly carried his footsteps into the depths of the forest.

After about a long time of his journey, he looked closely and found that there was a small thatched hut hidden here in the depths of the bamboo forest ahead!

On a huge rock directly in front of the thatched hut, there was a young woman who was about 28 years old sitting cross-legged and playing the guqin.
