Chapter 232

"I will take full responsibility for your engagement with Wenji!"

Cai Yong slapped the table and stopped wasting words with Lin Yang!

Since Lin Yang was willing, they could set the engagement first!

And wait for an auspicious day to hold the wedding!

".... Ah, Teacher, just one Wenji?"

Hearing it was just Wenji, Lin Yang spoke his mind!

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Cai Yong's livid face!

"Get out!"

With a roar, Cai Yong, who usually maintained his composure, started cursing!

Seeing Cai Yong lose his temper, Lin Yang quickly turned and ran!

As he stepped out of the Cai residence, Lin Yang still had a smile on his face!

"Tsk tsk, who makes multiple-choice questions!"

He thought to himself, he wouldn't let go of either Wenji or Zhenji!

In a good mood, Lin Yang returned to the Provincial Governor's Mansion under the escort of his guards!

For the next period, Gu Yong and Mi Zhu were responsible for the planting of fertile land within Xuzhou!

Cheng Yu and Guo Jia were each responsible—one for the political affairs of Xuzhou, and the other for the military affairs after the spring of next year!

Chen Deng and Chen Gui were all placed under Cheng Yu's command to handle the political affairs of the province!

And Huang Zhong, who had just defected, was arranged by Lin Yang into the new recruit camp to select fifteen thousand elites to form an army under his command!

As for the miscellaneous general title, Lin Yang didn't grant one!

Huang Zhong was already a Colonel, which was higher than a miscellaneous general!

As for Zhang Zhongjing's Medical Academy, Lin Yang had also selected a suitable location in Xuzhou City and started building it!

At the same time, he recruited doctors throughout Xuzhou to serve as teachers in the Medical Academy, offering generous pay and arranging housing!

Afterward, he selected hundreds of students to enter the Medical Academy and follow these doctors to learn the basics!

However!

Although the Medical Academy was established, talent could not be cultivated overnight!

End of the twelfth month, second year of Chuping, Xuzhou.

"My lord, the war in Qingzhou has reached a stalemate. Cao Mengde and Yuan Benchu are fighting over the land of Qingzhou, and it is feared that a winner will not be decided for some time!"

At this moment, in the Provincial Governor's Mansion, Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, Chen Deng, Chen Gui, Gu Yong, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and others were all present!

After several months of rest, Xuzhou now had sufficient grain and well-trained troops!

Especially after the planting of rice!

This year, the price of grain in Xuzhou had dropped to thirty coins per shi!

Every household had surplus grain!

The granaries everywhere were piled high with food!

"My lord, I think we can send troops to Qingzhou!"

Chen Deng, below, spoke up again!

Xuzhou now not only had sufficient grain, but its army had also reached one hundred and fifty thousand!

That's right!

Lin Yang's previous ninety thousand troops, plus the thirty thousand Taishan troops he had incorporated, and the thirty thousand newly recruited soldiers!

The army under Xuzhou had already reached one hundred and fifty thousand!

With this strength, he was absolutely qualified to participate in the struggle for Qingzhou!

Lin Yang, sitting above, listened to Chen Deng's suggestion again and began to ponder!

With the development over these few months, Xuzhou under Lin Yang had become increasingly powerful!

Qingzhou and Xuzhou shared a border!

Now that Yuan Benchu and Cao Mengde were both fighting for it, he might as well profit from it!

However!

In Lin Yang's heart, he didn't really want to clash with Yuan Benchu and Cao Mengde at this point in time!

During these few months!

Not only was he developing, but other warlords were also developing!

That fellow Yuan Gonglu had already occupied the land of Yuzhou!

Sun Jian was leading his troops from Chaisang to invade Yangzhou!

Once he sent troops to Qingzhou at this time!

He might lose Yangzhou!

By then, his plan to turn Yangzhou into a granary would be impossible to realize!

Attacking Jiangdong, which was occupied by Sun Jian!

The difficulty was definitely higher than attacking Sun Quan!

What's more, by then, he would have no warships!

Northern soldiers were not good at water battles!

If he wasn't careful, he might repeat Cao Cao's mistakes!

Although Yangzhou was a place of temporary peace, the difficulty of taking it early versus taking it last was not comparable!

"Report, my lord, urgent report from Luoyang!"

Just as Lin Yang was pondering, a soldier rushed over!

In an instant, hearing it was an urgent report from Luoyang, everyone present was shocked!

What had happened?

Lin Yang, sitting above, looked at the urgent report from Luoyang, and his expression changed instantly!

"Dong Zhuo is dead!"

"Luoyang City has been burned?!" ===== CHAPTER 233 =====
