The rumors in Xiangyang finally subsided.
Taishi Ci was appointed by Ma Chao as the shepherd of Jingzhou, and ordered to organize 30,000 Ma's troops to guard Xiangyang.
At the same time, Gan Ning was also appointed as the Commander-in-Chief of the Ma Family's First Navy, and transferred the Jinfan Navy from the Yellow River Basin to Jiangxia County to practice in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, which is almost as vast as the surging waters.
In addition, five thousand Jingzhou soldiers who were well versed in water were mobilized from Cai Mao's private soldiers to join Gan Ning's Jinfan Water Camp.
Jingzhou was originally in turmoil and chaos, but under Ma Chao's drastic personnel reforms, the Ma family's dominant position in Jingzhou was completely established.
Regarding the water thieves and bandits who had not been subdued during Liu Biao's reign, Ma Chao's instructions were more to the point.
He ordered Taishi Ci and Gan Ning to train their troops in battle, and within a year, they built a stable Jingzhou.
As for the two brothers of the Kuai family, Ma Chao spared no effort to win over them.
He even confessed to Taishi Ci and Gan Ning face to face: "Zirou has Yongji's plan.
If you are not sure about internal affairs, you can ask Zirou; alienation has a shackles."
If the strategy is violated and foreign affairs are not resolved, we can ask for help.
If the four of you work together, there will be no danger in Jingzhou."
After the arrangements were made, Ma Chao, Diao Chan, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Pang Tong and others returned north to Chang'an under the escort of Wencheng Nanyang's army.
The date was just half a month after Liu Xie's personal expedition, and the people of Xiangyang once again saw the scene of a mighty army marching out.
Compared with the reluctant Tiger and Ben troops last time, Ma Chao's army left happily.
When the people of Xiangyang saw the army that had been entrenched outside the city for a long time suddenly leaving, they couldn't tell whether they were disappointed or grateful.
In short, after two consecutive armies left Xiangyang City, the place returned to its former calmness and comfort.
After that, the subtle changes of moisturizing things came slowly and unknowingly.
Until a year later, the people in Xiangyang City had become accustomed to the frequent news of good news on the streets, and previously unheard of and unseen daily necessities filled the major shops on the entire street.
When they were at the stall, they began to vaguely agree that Jingzhou being ruled by Ma Chao didn't seem to be a bad thing.
However, at this time, Ma Chao could not predict Kuai Liang's effect on such slow changes.
He just went up the river and passed Jiangling, Nanjun.
Out of his special feelings for the Three Kingdoms, he stayed here for three days.
Jiangling, before Liu Biao built Xiangyang, had always been the seat of Nanjun and was the largest county in Nanjun.
It is located in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, in the west of the Jianghan Plain, bordering the Yangtze River to the south, Han River to the north, Bashu to the west, and Hunan and Guangdong to the south.
It was known as the "thorough of seven provinces" in ancient times.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, this place was the land of the Chu Shipguan and the palace of the King of Chu - Zhu Palace.
After Qin destroyed Chu, it became an important town where successive kings established their mansions.
Therefore, Jiangling County is often called Jiangling Kingdom.
In another world, Zhou Yu and Guan Yu both guarded this place.
The chief here is not called a chief, but is called a Ling, and his salary is one thousand dan.
In the early years of the Han Dynasty, when the state governor had no direct jurisdiction over the prefects, the governor's salary was only 600 dan.
In the book Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the Jingzhou mentioned many times actually refers to Jiangling.
The so-called Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou actually meant that he borrowed Jiangling, because Zhou Yu captured Jiangling at that time and personally guarded it.
He was a fierce man, so it was okay to guard this enclave.
However, after Zhou Yu died, Soochow found it difficult to guard this place.
Liu Bei happened to ask for Jiangling, so the two sides reached an agreement to exchange three counties for Jiangling and other places. consensus.
From then on, Wu and Shu kept arguing over this matter, and finally broke up and turned against each other.
Guan Yu died in battle, and Liu Bei defeated Wu, all because of this city.
However, Ma Chao first knew about Jiangling in his original world, where he studied the poems of the poet Li Taibai: "The White Emperor bids farewell to the colorful clouds, and Jiangling, a thousand miles away, returns in one day."
It is beautiful, very fairy-like, and very impressive. profound.
Because Jiangling has such a status, its county magistrate is not an ordinary figure.
His name is Liu Du, he is also an official of Xiaolian origin and an official appointed by the court.
In another time and space, he would serve as the governor of Wuling in the future, and died with the city while resisting Liu Bei's attack.
During the three-day stay, Ma Chao spent one day talking with Jiangling's order Liu Du.

In the next two days, also under the guidance of Liu Du, he and Diao Chan went boating on the lake to play the piano and chant, and truly spent a peaceful and peaceful day.
Because he knew that after returning to Chang'an, he would not have the peaceful and dull mood in Jiangling for at least more than a year.
He wants all his energy and resourcefulness to take overall control of the Ma family's seven states, one Sichuan and four counties, and fight a development war without smoke with the Cao family, the Sun family, and Liu Bei in the days when every second counts.
That battle without weapons completely determined the direction of the turbulent period in the world a year later.
He could not help but Ma Chao not treat it conscientiously and cautiously.
Ma Chao thought so, and he did the same after returning.
The first thing he did after returning to Chang'an was to have another encounter.
Because with his ideas that transcend this era, he knows what is the ultimate driving force for the development of an era.
Rather than saying that technology and innovation are the primary productive forces, the carrier of technology and innovation is still talent.
Especially in the process of founding a country, the flourishing of all kinds of talents is the necessary cornerstone of a sound and prosperous country.
The last Enke exam in the autumn comes to an end before October in early winter.
After the three exams including liberal arts, martial arts and miscellaneous studies are completed, the dragon gate is opened and the students leave the examination room.
Ma Chao hurriedly asked Cai Yong to hand over the papers for the liberal arts students and read them in person.
To Ma Chao's surprise, there were quite a lot of talents emerging from Enke this time.
In terms of current affairs and political defense, the most common topic was "To unify the world", and the contents were varied.
The most common ones were the cliché saying that ruling the world with benevolence and righteousness will eventually embrace all rivers; there were also the ones that used hegemony and strong troops to march south to dominate the world; What surprised Ma Chao was that some of the students with business backgrounds actually wrote about how to use economic infiltration to finally conquer the enemy without fighting.
However, there are far fewer articles that really talk about specific topics such as Cao Wei's destruction of the Sun family and the seizure of Yizhou.
I have read a few articles, and although the words are clear and logical, most of the content is not new.
In fact, judging from the current strength comparison between the Ma family and the Cao Wei and Sun families, as long as the Ma family is the first to recover, they can mobilize at least 300,000 troops and carry out a large-scale head-on battle within a year.
The Ma family can destroy any force.
It's all possible.
Although in the original history, Cao Wei, who occupied three-quarters of the world, attacked the weak Shu Han for more than ten years.
But it is different in this time and space.
The emergence of Ma Chao has greatly impacted the development of this era.
In history, there were large-scale battles such as Zhuge Liang's Seven Outings at Qishan, but they only had three months' worth of food, grass and baggage, and their actual combat strength was less than 50,000.
However, Ma Chao and Cao Cao fought against Yuan Shao together.
The three parties gathered an army of 1.5 million and fought for more than half a year.
It was a protracted war to the death.
In this era, under the unintentional influence of Ma Chao, it has moved towards a war model of mass destruction, mass consumption, and mass victory or defeat.
For example, the back-and-forth tug-of-war between the Tuoba tribe in Bingzhou and Xianbei was, in the eyes of the Ma family, nothing more than a child's war.
Just like playing house.
Therefore, under such circumstances, the prerequisite considerations for launching a battlefield are much more serious and cautious than history.
But most of those immature students are still at the stage of talking on paper, and have not yet seen through the complex and complex relationship between these four political families.
However, even so, Cai Yong, the examiner, was already beaming with joy.
For this batch of outstanding students, Cai Yong had two contradictory feelings: old nostalgia and comfort, and the Yangtze River's wave behind pushing the front wave to the end.
Later, a palace examination was organized, and more than thirty Xiaolian candidates entered the palace.
Ma Chao personally proposed the questions and planned the examination.
After entering the Deyang Palace, Ma Chao discovered to his surprise that half of the students with outstanding literary talents and broad ideas were students from Jingzhou.
For example, the person chosen by Ma Chao as the number one scholar was Jiang Wan, a native of Lingling County, Jingzhou.
The future Grand Sima of Shu still looked calm among the students gathered together, and he answered Ma Chao's questions in a eloquent and coherent manner.
And Ma Chao, after hearing Jiang Wan's name, had already determined that he was the top pick in the imperial examination.
Interestingly, after Pang Tong, who accompanied Ma Chao, saw Jiang Wan, he couldn't help but test him.
And the question is very tricky, which is which is more important, the rule of law or the rule of virtue.
Jiang Wan first said that rule by virtue is the way for saints to govern a country, and the rule of law is the foundation of a strong country.
Finally, he concluded that rule of law and rule by virtue are not important, and that the best choice is to use them according to the time and place.

Pang Tong wanted to argue again, but was stopped by Ma Chao.
He didn't want to, because the two of them also left an inexplicable entanglement
