Jia Xu sat in the car and quietly observed the scenery outside the car. As Cai Ji said, two days ago, the mission bid farewell to the forbidden department in Yishui, and instead crossed the river to meet with the Zhang Jaw Department of Donglailai. According to Jia Xu's observation, there were about 1,000 soldiers and horses led by Zhang Jaw this time, all of them were neatly dressed and full of morale, and they were rare elites at a glance. According to the ugly imp who accompanied them, in the city of Gaomi where they were about to arrive, there were more than 2,000 soldiers under the command of Zhang Jaw. In addition, there are about 30,000 permanent troops in the whole territory of Donglai, and more strong men can be drawn from the tun if necessary. Regarding Pang Tong's triumphant introduction, Jia Xu seemed noncommittal, because he has always only used his eyes to judge this kind of thing. After all, there are so many soldiers and horses in this world that there are 40,000 or 50,000 soldiers and horses, and they dare to declare 100,000 army princes to the outside world. For example, Yuan Shu, who was the emperor this time, even claimed that there were 800,000 troops with a lion's mouth. Joke, how many catties does he have on Yuan Highway, and the surrounding princes will not know?

In Jia Xu's view, it is normal to falsely report the number of people necessary, which can improve morale and intimidate opponents. But if the false report is too great, it can sometimes backfire. If the battle is slightly unfavorable, and the enemy explodes an army of thousands of men and horses, it will not be even more demoralizing. Of course, as far as Pang Tong's introduction of Donglai's troops is concerned, although it is somewhat unexpected by Jia Xu, it is not an exaggeration. It is very likely that that ugly little ghost is not lying, and Cai Anzhen's troops are indeed on par with Lu Bu, Ma Teng and others. But when it comes to the combat power of those 30,000 horses, Jia Xu can do it. After all, how can a rabble be compared with a division of a hundred battles.

In fact, compared with the combat power of the Donglai army, Jia Xu is more interested in the generals of Donglai. After the battle of Wancheng, Jia Xu had already confirmed that Cai Yuanjun in the car in front of him would not fight at all. This also means that many of the achievements of Donglai County before are the credit of her generals and staff. The names of Tai Shici, Guo Jia, Wang Xiu and others Jia Xu heard of them when they were in Yuzhou. However, these people are not as interesting as the open jaw that led the troops to meet this time.

According to Jia Xu's knowledge, Zhang Jaw was originally Han Fu's subordinate, and after Han Fu was defeated, he switched to Yuan Shao, and was rumored to be the fourth court pillar of Hebei among the people. At this moment, the righteous general escorted Cai Anzhen all the way through half of the Beihai controlled by Yuan Tan. It is clear that he does not take Yuan Tan, who is the assassin of Qingzhou, in his eyes. Cai Anzhen has a relationship with Zhang Junyi at this time? Boss vs. subordinate? Or an ally? Does she trust the man who has served the two masters?

Jia Xu has seen too many betrayals and conspiracies in his life, and he knows that the imperial general is far more difficult than the imperial soldier. It is important to know that a person's talent is not necessarily related to his character. Therefore, many princes are accustomed to entrusting their relatives and fellow villagers with important responsibilities in order to seek peace of mind. However, a person who only has relatives and fellow villagers in his eyes cannot achieve great things, like Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao. But if you trust your subordinates too much, you will inevitably repeat Ding Yuan's mistakes. The key to believing or not believing lies in the word "knowing people".

Thinking of this, Jia Xuwei glanced up with a deep feeling, Cai Ji, who was talking with Zhang Jaw in front of him, couldn't help but ask himself - but I don't know that girl can understand the art of people?

Cai Ji didn't know that Jia Xu was slandering her relationship with Zhang Jaw in the carriage behind her. At this time, she was carefully asking Zhang Jaw about the situation in Beihai in the past four months, as well as the movements of Lu Bu's army in Langya County. As for Zhang Jaw, he concisely introduced the situation in Beihai to Cai Ji.

"Envoy Jun, since the last defeat of the Lu Bu army, it has not attacked Qingzhou. In addition, according to the spies, after Lu Bu handed over Langya to Zang Ba, Zang Ba had many conflicts with the local wealthy families in Langya over the conscription of troops and food. Langya County is now complaining about Lu Bujun. Many people poured into Beihai and Donglai from Langya with their families and mouths to take refuge in Beihai and Donglai. The seven counties of Beihai received a total of 50,000 people in these four months. Wang Lingyin took advantage of the situation and recruited 2,000 soldiers from among the displaced people to replenish the armament. Zhang Jaw suddenly paused when he said this, and then said earnestly to Cai Ji with a fist, "Cai Yuanjun, Beihai Gongsha and other powerful people once came to take refuge with eight hundred private soldiers, but they were all rejected by Wang Lingyin. With all due respect, although the number of Haoqiang's private soldiers is small, these private soldiers are all five soldiers, and they are not temporarily recruited to fight. ”

Cai Ji listened to what Zhang Jaw said and nodded thoughtfully. Indeed, the private soldiers of the late Han Dynasty were extremely combative. Don't say it's an outcast, even if it's an elite of the imperial court, sometimes it's not necessarily the opponent of this kind of private soldier. With the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, many powerful people also took advantage of the chaos in the world and the weakening of imperial power to expand their strength. And then form a situation of "the big ones are even the county country, the middle ones are infant cities, and the small ones gather in Qianmo". And relying on the private soldiers in their hands, the powerful landlords can attack and retreat, and they either form their own camps, or lead their troops to take refuge in the princes of all walks of life. Historically, Li Dian, Xu Chu, Ren Qian, Tian Chou and others under Cao Cao were all from such heroic backgrounds. And the Sun family of Eastern Wu started directly from the private soldiers of the Wu Mingzong clan.

However, although the private soldiers are strong, they are also a double-edged sword. If a prince relies too much on the private troops of the wealthy clan, he will inevitably be held hostage by the wealthy clan below. This is the same reason that the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty was held hostage by the princes who were divided. Just like the Sun family of Eastern Wu, after several terms, even if he finally called the emperor the king, he had to act according to the eyes of the Wu family. Cao Cao, on the other hand, was willing to risk being repeatedly rebelled by the Qingzhou soldiers, and also wanted to create a hereditary army that was only loyal to him Cao Cao.

In this regard, Cao Cao, Wang Xiu, and Cai Ji are of the same opinion. Therefore, they used idle land to recruit displaced people in Yanzhou, Beihai, and Donglai to carry out "military cantonments" to create an army that was not affected by local wealthy families. But as Zhang Jaw said, the combat effectiveness of such a soldier is bound to be weaker than that of a strong private soldier at the beginning. In fact, Cao Cao's Qingzhou soldiers really became powerful three or four years after the Qingzhou soldiers were reorganized. And Cai Ji's Donglai soldiers have only experienced a tough battle recently. As for the Beihai soldiers reorganized by Wang Xiu's side, they were a group of peasants who had just put down their hoes.

So Zhang's construction makes sense, but Cai Ji can't accept it all. Although Wang Xiu's approach is long-term, she can't just rely on him. So after Cai Ji sorted out his thoughts, he said to Zhang Zhang, "Before this matter went to Beijing, Wang Lingyin also talked to this government. Beihai Haoqiang has always been unruly, such as the Gongsha family mentioned by General Junyi before, and there have been many misdeeds. The reason why Wang Lingyin rejected these wealthy families was probably because he was afraid that after they joined the army, they would use the name of the government to bring disaster to the township. However, as General Yi Yi said, the combat power of the private soldiers of the Hao clan cannot be ignored. Therefore, the government believes that the private soldiers of the Hao family should be recruited, but they still need to seriously consider their local reputation. ”

Although Zhang Jaw thinks that the wind is good, his curved part does not necessarily have high combat effectiveness. However, he has been fighting in the north for many years, and he also knows that the more rebellious he is, the stronger his combat effectiveness is, and the easier it is to rebel. In addition, Cai Ji is a woman after all, and it may not be easy to suppress such inferior people, and there is a certain reason why he would act so cautiously. So Zhang Jaw also took a step back and hugged his fist to Cai Ji, "Then do as the envoy says." The jaw is also heavily trained for recruits. ”

"In this way, the matter of training troops in Beihai will be entrusted to General Junyi." Cai Ji arched his hand towards the open jaw. It is true that many people in the outside world are rumored to have taken refuge in Donglai, but Cai Ji has always been courteous to Zhangjaw. In Cai Ji's opinion, as long as Zhang Jaw does not officially recognize him as the lord for a day, then the relationship between the two of them can only be allies. What's more, the other party has rescued him twice, and the necessary etiquette is still needed.

And just as Cai Ji bowed his hand to Zhang Jaw, Pang Tong was riding side by side with You Heng, following Cai Ji's car. According to Cai Ji's appointment, You Heng is now her exclusive secretary, responsible for writing official documents and some public letters for her. Perhaps because he loosened his ties and regained his freedom, or because he got a relatively satisfactory job, You Heng gradually regained his former vigor in the past few days. Of course, his "flying spirit" is "villain's ambition" in Pang Tong's view. At the same time, You Heng also didn't dare to compliment Pang Tong, thinking that it was really unsightly for Cai Yuanjun to bring such an ugly ghost to face the saint. Of course, after a few secret confrontations, You Heng also had to admit that regardless of appearance, this ugly little ghost is still quite talented. Of course, in terms of poetry and songs, the ugly imp is still a lot worse than him.

In short, Pang Tong and You Heng, neither of them looks at anyone well, but they often work together. As a result, the two of them inevitably had a quarrel in private. In fact, the first of the three chapters of Cai Ji's agreement with You Heng that day is not accurate, You Heng actually does not curse, and his poisonous tongue is generally only sarcastic. No, looking at the barren fields around him, You Heng once again stirred up his idle tongue, "It's all said, it doesn't seem to be Er'er now." ”

"Although this place is also the boundary of the North Sea, it is ruled by Yuan Tan, the assassin of Qingzhou. After Weishui, it is the boundary under the jurisdiction of the lord. You can rest assured, when you get to Donglai, you will be dumbfounded. Pang Tong replied angrily.

"You can't talk too much. Thou hast followed the lord all day long, and thou hast known what the situation is like in the whole territory of Donglai? Could it be that you have traveled around Donglai? You Heng asked rhetorically a little defiantly.

Pang Tong couldn't help but be speechless when You Heng asked him like this, but he then said with a proud expression, "Tong has indeed not traveled around the entire territory of Donglai. But Tong has traveled all over the Liangtian manors in Huangxian and other northern counties of Donglai," Seeing that You Heng showed a look of surprise, Pang Tong added, "When Tong first came to Donglai by ship from Jingzhou, the Lord fought in Beihai. The first class in Huangxian is half a year, and in this half a year, he has seen many achievements of the lord. That's why the commander finally decided to serve the lord. ”

You Heng didn't expect that the young man in front of him would have such an experience at such a young age. I couldn't help but restrain the meaning of peeping in my heart, but I still didn't let go, "Then let's see." ”

It turned out that Pang Tong did not say big things. After the mission passed Weishui, the surrounding scenery soon changed significantly. The huge Donglai car diligently lifted the Weishui into the canal to irrigate the acres of fertile land along the river. On both sides of the official road, green corn fields spread to the foot of the mountain, and from time to time farmers and ploughing cattle shuttle through it. Compared to the mountainous area of Dongnae-gun, the land of the North Sea, which has a shock plain, is fertile and rich in water. Therefore, with proper governance, Beihai will soon be able to surpass Dongnai County in agriculture. In fact, not only Beihai, but also the surrounding Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and Jizhou, each area has several times the resources and population of Donglai. But there are not many people in this world who can settle down to govern a side of water and soil. Most of the princes were busy with conquests and expanding their territory. Or like Cao Cao, although he has the heart to govern the people's livelihood, how can he be in the land of the four wars and develop slowly. As far as Cai Ji is concerned, her luckiest thing is not the geographical location of Qingzhou, but the fact that she has a group of pragmatic bureaucrats under her. Wang Xiu is one of them.

"I've seen Cai Yuanjun."

Under the high-spirited spring sun, Wang Xiu led a group of high-density soldiers and civilians to welcome Cai Ji's arrival. And behind them was the thickened and heightened city of Gaomi. Obviously, Wang Xiu has indeed been as Zhang Jaw said, he has not wasted a quarter of an hour in the past four months, and the entire eastern part of Beihai has been governed by him vividly. Seeing this situation, Cai Ji naturally hurriedly got out of the car, stepped forward in three steps and two steps to help Wang Xiu and thanked him sincerely, "Shuzhi has worked hard. This Beihai is so governed that the government is almost unrecognizable. He is truly a capable servant of the world."

"The lord has won the prize. If it weren't for the strong support of Donglai County in terms of money and food, Xiu would not have been able to transform the seven counties of Beihai in a few months. Wang Xiu responded humbly. Wang Xiu was not complimenting Cai Ji when he said this. Yes, when he was under Kong Rong, Wang Xiu also had the same ideas and similar permissions. But he was unable to fulfill his ambitions. The reason for this is nothing more than two things at work, one is money and food, and the other is military power. When Kong Rong was in power, Beihai had no money and no food, so naturally he couldn't recruit displaced people to come to the reclamation. And Kong Rong himself is not good at governing the army, and there are no good generals under his command. This also makes the wealthy families of Beihai extremely arrogant. On the other hand, after Cai Ji came, he wanted food and soldiers, and Wang Xiu could naturally let go of his hands and feet.

"Shuzhi is polite. Since the seven counties of Beihai are under the jurisdiction of this government, this government naturally has to think about the people of Beihai. After Cai Ji looked around at the Beihai civilians present, he suddenly raised his voice and announced loudly, "Just as the Son of Heaven appointed this government as the pastor of Xuzhou, this government cannot sit idly by and watch the people of Xuzhou be bullied by disloyal and unrighteous people."

Can't sit back and watch the people of Xuzhou be bullied by disloyal and unrighteous people?

Is this a southern expedition?

Everyone present did not expect Cai Ji to express his ambitions for Xuzhou so bluntly in public. But thinking of the Cai Ji in front of him who had just returned from the face of the saint, and Yuan Shu had only proclaimed himself emperor in the south not long ago, everyone realized that Cai Ji was probably in the name of the Son of Heaven and was going south to conquer Xuzhou. It is true that war kills people and hurts. But that is the order of the Son of Heaven, it is the call for justice, not to mention that it is Xiao Cai Fujun who has repeatedly created miracles who leads everyone, and now it should be Xiao Cai Envoy Jun and all the soldiers and civilians including Zhang Jaw and Wang Xiu even broke out for a while, higher than a burst of shouts.

"Long live the Son of Heaven to make the king mighty"

In the face of such a frenzied atmosphere, whether it was Pang Tong standing behind Cai Ji or You Heng, who had just arrived, they couldn't help but blush, and shouted with everyone. Only Jia Xu watched the scene in front of him calmly and remained silent.

Xiao Cai finally went home~~~Scattered flowers~~~ Let's give some powder tickets and tickets~~~
