Chapter 51: The Advantages of Merging States
At the beginning, in fact, the difference between the history of the assassin and the state pastor was still very big, the history of the assassin was regarded as the supervision of the imperial history, and the state pastor was the military and political one-handed.
But then the assassin began to perform some things beyond his own tasks, because supervising all parties, he would naturally encounter a lot of county guards who did not fulfill their duties and responsibilities, and the county guards and county commanders controlled the local real power relatively speaking, and the assassin naturally needed the corresponding strength to deal with it in a timely manner.
Therefore, the power of the assassin is gradually derived and grows greater.
The Western Han Dynasty changed the history of the assassin to the state pastor for a period of time, which meant to replace the Son of Heaven to shepherd one side.
And the authority of the state pastor is too great, so it is naturally easy to be suspicious of the superiors, and then it was changed back to the history of assassination.
But now, there is a big difference between the history of thorns and the history of thorns at the beginning.
From a system point of view, the promotion of Liu Bei to Taiyuan Taishou is actually not enough in terms of seniority alone.
But if it weren't for the fact that the courtiers were too annoying, Liu Hong would even have the idea of letting Liu Bei become the assassin of the state.
It's just that he was promoted to a county guard.
Especially in a large county like Taiyuan, where a salary of 2,000 stone a year is already easy to make people feel that Liu Bei has been favored.
If Liu Bei is directly made a state assassin, it is easy for Liu Bei to be engraved with too deep a mark, which is not conducive to Liu Hong's plan.
For the time being, Liu Hong still wants to rely on the relationship between Liu Bei and Lu Zhi, as well as his innocent background, as a buffer zone for the Heshi family.
Let him be used as a bond to maintain a balance, but he can be rewarded, and it will not chill the hearts of his own people.
This is what Liu Hong seems to be the most beneficial to himself.
And judging from the battle record, this Han clan who came out of the side is also unstoppable, and it may be more appropriate to engage in the Xiongnu in Bingzhou.
Therefore, Liu Bei proposed to go to the border with the state.
Liu Hong generously waved his hand to the high position of the Taiyuan County Taishou and the Hun Zhonglang General.
And the ministers didn't react.
The Maison didn't feel offended by any interests.
Actually, the reason is very simple.
Although Jinyang, the seat of Taiyuan County, is also the seat of state, in fact, Shangdang County is relatively stable and rich.
To the west of Taiyuan County is Xihe County.
To the north are Yanmen County and Yunzhong County.
Nearly half of the territory of these three counties was lost.
To the east of Taiyuan County is the border with Youzhou.
Although there was no direct contact with the border from all directions, according to the internal movements of the Xiongnu in recent years, it was very likely that they would harass the border again.
And those counties, which are not complete in themselves, can hardly resist foreign invasions.
At that time, Taiyuan County will directly become a front-line battlefield.
In the eyes of the current world, the state is vast and sparsely populated, and the materials are poor.
It's not a good place to develop, and there are no local families, most of them are ordinary people.
What's more, the people of the state are fierce, and the people have prepared weapons in their homes.
Of course, none of them are standard.
But have you ever seen a scythe half a man long?
The scythe they used to cut the wheat also needed to be effective in killing foreign enemies.
Sometimes when you have to harvest wheat, you have to prepare a scythe, a rake, and a sledgehammer, and if there are many aliens, then you will be counted as birds, and if there are few aliens, you must kill them all.
In this state, harvesting wheat is called harvesting wheat, and killing strangers is called harvesting wheat.
After killing the alien tribes who came to rob and invade, they took off their rudimentary cloth armor and continued to harvest the crops with these agricultural tools stained with the blood of the aliens.
It's scary to think about it......
It is this kind of happiness to grow up safely, and the days are so thrilling and exciting for the people on the border of the state, and they live ordinary days with a free and easy feeling.
They will not be stingy with eating and drinking, they have good food and drink, they can eat and drink, and when a friend comes, they will kill the family's cattle and sheep to feast guests.
Because it doesn't mean much to them to have things.
The people of Taiyuan County are actually a little better, like the people in Yunzhong, Yanmen, and Xihe.
They can live one more day is a day.
They are waiting.
Wait for the vast imperial court to free up its hands to reclaim the lost lands.
It's a pity they didn't wait.
So they can only protect their homes and protect their lives in person.
Therefore, the people of Bingzhou are fierce, and it is said that the people are everywhere, and few of the children of the family who want to make money and brush up their political achievements are willing to choose to serve in the state.
There was a child of a family who had a good political performance when he served as a county magistrate, and he was transferred to Dingxiang County as a county guard, but the child of that family resigned directly and did not do it, and went home to rest for a few years before coming out.
Liu Bei, a stupid boy, was willing to go to the state, but no one stopped him.
And Liu Hong's operation also made the ministers know that if Liu Bei can make some political achievements, it is estimated that it will fall on him in the future.
But......
What's the use of that?
Liu Bei was promoted to the history of the assassination of the state, and he would be locked in the state, because they didn't think that anyone could choose the location to serve as the assassin at will, which was something that had never happened before.
If someone could ask the emperor to change places to be assassins, they would be convinced.
Of course, no one dared to ask the emperor to change places to be assassins, because in the future a few years later, Liu Yan directly asked the emperor to become a state pastor.
And what is even more outrageous is that Liu Yan originally applied to Liu Hong to go to Jiaozhou to be a pastor in Jiaozhou, thinking that he would stay away from the war in the center and find a remote place to enjoy his old age in his old age.
He didn't have the idea of dominating the world, he just wanted to be a landowner and do something in his own territory, some art, and a widow......
Something seems wrong.
But then Liu Yan heard that Yizhou had dragon energy, and he had just applied for Jiaozhou Mu, and he turned around and asked the emperor for a Yizhou Mu again, and he never returned, so he asked his own godson to help guard the connection between Yizhou and the Central Plains, and cut off from the Central Plains from then on.
Of course, in Chen Chen's plan, Bingzhou is an excellent starting point.
And his preparation is not just to give Liu Bei the strength to dominate the world.
In Chen Chen's view, there are many advantages.
First of all, the people are fierce, the people are brave and good at fighting, and because of the problem of border attacks for many years, although the population of the state is only a few hundred thousand, it is not even comparable to the large counties of the Central Plains.
However, nearly one-third of these hundreds of thousands of people are young and middle-aged, and most of them are strong and strong, and they are all good soldiers for elite troops.
is like Lu Bu, the first fierce general of the Three Kingdoms.
It is a man born in Jiuyuan City, the seat of Wuyuan County, and the state.
Now Jiuyuan County has been completely lost, so in fact, Lu Bu is a black household of the Han Empire, the kind that does not have a household registration.
And the 30,000 wolf riders he brought out were all ruthless goods that could crisscross the Central Plains, but they were one less to fight.
Because during the period of the Three Kingdoms War, Bingzhou was almost completely lost, and the source of Bingzhou soldiers naturally ceased to exist.
There is also Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, who was born in Yanmen Pass, and is also the pillar of the Cao Wei group, with 800 defenders who are powerful and Xiaoyaojin, counterattacking Sun Quan with 100,000 soldiers.
In addition to Lu Bu and Zhang Liao, there is also Xu Huang, a strange man who opened the mountain with an axe, Gao Shun, the main general of the paralyzed camp, and several other eight strong generals brought out by Lu Bu, Shangdang Taishou Zhang Yang, and later Bingzhou assassin Shi Dingyuan, all of whom are from Bingzhou
And I have to say that in fact, Liu Bei went to Bingzhou to be this Taiyuan Taishou, and Second Brother Guan was quite comfortable.
Because Second Brother Guan is also half of the state.
After all, Hedong is close to Bingzhou.
At the beginning, the second brother Guan killed someone in his hometown of Hedong Jiecheng, and absconded to Youzhou to meet Zhang Fei, and saw Liu Bei posting a notice there to recruit Xiang Yong, so they followed Liu Bei to make their debut.
Although there are not many people, the Bingzhou Army is definitely one of the strongest armies in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
Because in other places, when the defenders were recuperating in fat, the state army was still fighting hand-to-hand with the aliens with knives.
Their toughness is not weaker than those so-called Xiliang iron horses at all, or even stronger!
Here we have to talk about Dong Zhuo, who has been willed.
Dong Zhuo actually brought all the subordinates from his hometown when he was transferred from Xiliang to Bingzhou to take office.
Instead, he let his two sons-in-law help him continue to consolidate his foundation in his hometown in Longxi, and he took a few subordinates to Bingzhou to take up his post directly.
Dong Zhuo, who was originally invincible and invincible in Xiliang, could have thought that he would not be able to control these unruly Bingzhou people at all?
The history of the state thorn from other places is an ornament.
Even if he served as the Taishou of Hedong, it was because Hedong was located in the Central Plains and was greatly influenced by the Central Plains, so he could make government orders under his rule.
Like those counties in the north, Dong Zhuo has not been able to control them in a short time.
So this time, the will made him retain the title of Zhonglang General and return to his hometown in Longxi to be the eldest brother.
He also has no complaints, one is that he has indeed lost a lot of battles, and the other is that he can develop better when he returns to Longxi.
He was still quite irritable in the past two years, without Li Ru's help, he was not good at governing the local people's livelihood, and on the one hand, he had to beware of the Southern Xiongnu at any time.
Even if the Southern Xiongnu don't do things, the various ethnic groups in the vicinity of the Southern Xiongnu will do things from time to time.
And Liu Bei's response in the court also reached Dong Zhuo's ears, and for a while Dong Zhuo was a little grateful that Liu Bei didn't cheat himself.
Chen Chen, who was sitting at home at this time, also felt that Dong Zhuo would not be angry.
After all, in Chen Chen's view, this is a mutually beneficial thing.
But what other people think, who knows?
In addition to being a good source of soldiers, it is also the place where the famous Montenegrin thieves appeared.
Although the Black Mountain thieves sound awesome and booming.
The eldest brother of the Black Mountain Thief on the surface is Zhang Yan, a fellow villager of Zhao Yun, who keeps in touch with the bandits in Zhongshan, Changshan, Zhao County, Shangdang, and Hanoi Valleys, and the number is up to one million, and he is called the Black Mountain Thief.
But in fact, it was as if Cao Cao had absorbed 300,000 Qingzhou troops.
In Chen Chen's view, the Black Mountain Thief is also an excellent new force and Liu Bei's future capital.
Because the Black Mountain Thieves are not a whole, this is just a general term.
In fact, the Black Mountain thieves are scattered, and the number of each force is probably only a few thousand, and there are tens of thousands.
Divide it and modify it according to the practices of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao in history, so that these people who have lost their goals in life can be absorbed.
It can be said that Liu Bei took Taiyuan County, and in Chen Chen's opinion, it was like taking the state and winning a million new troops.
But Liu Bei still understands very well, why didn't Chen Chen let himself choose Jizhou, Xuzhou, and Yanzhou, which are relatively rich and populous?
Is it because these places are the land of four wars?
He didn't ask, he just relied on his trust in his skills and trust in Chen Chen's talent to do it.
Chen Chen is not in a hurry to tell Liu Bei the reason now.
Select Merge State.
There is only one reason.
There aren't many local families in the state!
It is the weakest place in the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty!
The current Qingzhou has not yet undergone the purge of the Yellow Turban Army, and there are still many families.
Only in the merger of states can the tone of Liu Bei Group be set!
