Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, another eight months passed.

At this time, Wang Kaijun had been recuperating for a year.

In this year, Wang Kai and Liu Biao completed four exchanges, and the grain in Guanzhong increased significantly, but the population in Guanzhong did not increase much, so that the Guanzhong Plain was empty but there were no people to cultivate, although the army implemented military tun, but there were still many vacant lands that were deserted.

Faced with this situation, Wang Kaina was worried.

At this time, Fang Qiao found an expert in governance and recommended this person to Wang Kai.

When Wang Kai saw Fang Qiao's recommendation of Zhang Ji, the knowledge in his mind burst out instantly.

Zhang Ji, the word Derong, Cao Wei Mingchen, is the chief official who governed Yongliang in history.

After thinking of this, Wang Kai immediately met with Zhang Ji.

As Fang Qiao took Zhang Ji into the palace, the two of them immediately saluted Wang Kai.

After Wang Kai replied with a waiver, he suddenly said: "Derong, I heard that your political achievements are the first in the three auxiliaries, so Xuan Ling recommended you to me, I don't know if you have a good solution to the lack of people in Guanzhong?" ”

"Wang Zhenxi, with all due respect, if you only rely on attracting displaced people, it will take at least a few decades for the land of Guanzhong to recover."

Seeing Zhang Ji say this, Wang Kai suddenly asked, "Then do you have a good solution?" ”

"Back to Wang Zhenxi, in the troubled times can not rely on the consciousness of the people, I heard that a county in Hanzhong is also the territory of Wang Zhenxi, if Wang Zhenxi wants to quickly restore Guanzhong, only by forcibly relocating the people of Hanzhong can the Guanzhong dilemma be solved."

Hearing Zhang Ji say this, Wang Kai suddenly recalled and did not show a shocked look, but Fang Qiao exclaimed: "Derong, it is not an easy thing for the people of Hanzhong to move, if you move less, it is useless for Guanzhong to recover, and if you move more, you may provoke the covetousness of the rest of the princes, and it is a dangerous road from Hanzhong to Chang'an, and it is not realistic for a large number of people to move." ”

At this time, Wang Kai continued: "What Dejong said is not unreasonable. ”

Seeing that Wang Kai recognized his suggestion, Zhang Ji was very pleased, but Fang Qiao said loudly: "Lord, although there are five roads from Hanzhong to Chang'an, there are five roads: Meridian Road, Luo Road, Wrapping Road, Ancient Road and Longnan Road, but these five roads are all steep mountain roads, and the people can't walk at all!" ”

"Xuan Ling, you still have one place missing."

Fang Qiao suddenly thought about it after hearing this.

After a while, Fang Qiao suddenly realized: "The lord wants to move the people of Hanzhong to the west, and then turn the road from Nanyang, and finally go north to Wuguan and enter Guanzhong!" ”

"Those who know me, Xuan Ling also!"

"Lord, but Nanyang is in the hands of Zhang Xiu in Wancheng, I'm afraid it's not good for us to move the people!"

"Xuan Ling, who said that I want to move the people now? Nanyang County will only move after I have control of it. ”

"Got it!"

At this time, Wang Kai said to Zhang Ji: "Zhang Ji, you have made meritorious contributions, and I will now seal you as the main book." ”

When Zhang Ji jumped from a small Xinfeng County Order to the chief secretary of the Zhenxi General's Mansion, he immediately thanked him and said: "Minister Zhang Ji received the order. ”

Because the relocation of the people of Hanzhong can not be rushed, so Wang Kai did not act for the time being, and Wang Kai felt that it was not cost-effective to move the people of Hanzhong only to enrich Guanzhong, he planned to take down the entire Sili and then relocate, and to take the entire Sili must fight the four eastern counties, in addition to the white waves and yellow turbans in the four eastern counties, there are also the southern Xiongnu in the north, plus the Cao Cao who coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes to guard the tiger prison pass, and the four eastern counties must be involved and move the whole body, so Wang Kai must be fully prepared to send troops.

At this time, Luo Cheng and Li Jing finally completed the recruitment plan of 150,000 people.

Immediately after, Luo Cheng immediately sent a messenger to Chang'an to report the news.

When Wang Kai learned that the recruitment plan for 150,000 people was completed, he immediately summoned Fang Qiao.

Then, Wang Kai said to Fang Qiao: "Xuan Ling, I just received news that Shixin and the pharmacist have completed the recruitment plan of 150,000 people. ”

"My lord, since we have already raised 150,000 troops, should we send troops now?"

"Don't worry, when I finish the deployment of troops, our next target is Dongsi County and Nanyang County, the situation in both places is slightly complicated." city

"I understand."

Subsequently, Wang Kai began to think about how to arrange the 280,000 troops under his command.

The 280,000 army consisted of 150,000 recruits and 130,000 veterans.

After Wang Kai's hard thinking, he finally drew up the number of soldiers and horses to be guarded in various places and dispatched them.

After the deployment of troops is completed, Wang Kai's troop deployment is as follows:

The important town of Chang'an was led by Wang Kai, the general of Zhenxi, with 120,000 soldiers and horses.

Another important town, Nanzheng County, was led by Qin Qiong, a general of Zhichong, with 50,000 soldiers and horses.

Shangyong's partial general Ma Dai commanded 20,000 troops and was controlled by Qin Qiong.

Yangping Guan's partial general Cheng Yin commanded 10,000 troops and was controlled by Qin Qiong.

Zhonglang General Xu Rong commanded 20,000 troops to garrison Hangu Pass.

General Xue Li commanded 20,000 troops to garrison Wuguan.

The partial general Ma Chao led 30,000 troops to defend Xiqiang.

General Pang De led 10,000 troops to garrison Beidi County.

After the mobilization of soldiers and horses was completed, Wang Kai immediately found Gan Ning and said to him: "Xingba, now that the 4,000 Jinfan Army has been formed, I want you to immediately find a place near Chang'an to train the naval army, and when I attack the four eastern counties, the Jinfan Army will be of great use." ”

After Gan Ning got the order, he immediately took the order and left.

After Gan Ning's visit and investigation, he found a place not far from Chang'an where he could train the navy.

After that, Gan Ning began to build a water village to train the water army.

Because Ma Jun has successfully developed the Divine Arm Crossbow, the standard weapons of the Jinfan Navy have also been completed, including the long-range weapon Divine Arm Crossbow, the medium-range weapon spear and the short-range weapon broadsword.

As the Jinfan Army also began to practice, Wang Kai's side was also preparing for the next big battle.

At this moment, Wang Kai received a message from Li Ru.

The remnants of the Yellow Turban in Baibo Valley actually captured Luoyang City under the leadership of Guo Tai.

Later, Mrs. Guo also recruited displaced people in order to make a comeback.

After learning the news, Wang Kai suddenly thought to himself: 'I didn't expect the Baibo Valley Yellow Turban to capture Luoyang City under the leadership of Mrs. Guo, this is a godsend!" If I take this opportunity to send troops to the four eastern counties, Cao Mengde will have nothing to say. ’

Thinking of this, Wang Kai hurriedly summoned Fang Qiao and Li Ru.

When the two arrived, Wang Kai immediately said: "Wenyou, is the news of Baibo Valley's Yellow Turban rebellion in Luoyang confirmed?" ”

"Back to the lord, according to the news from Jinyiwei's secret agents, Mrs. Guo has not only captured Luoyang City now, but his power is also expanding rapidly, and many homeless people have gone to Luoyang to join him."

Fang Qiao, who heard this, was very surprised, because he didn't know the news yet.

Immediately after, Fang Qiao asked: "Lord, why don't ministers know this news?" ”

At this time, Wang Kai pointed at Li Ru and said to Fang Qiao: "Xuan Ling, this is Li Wenyou, the envoy of Jinyiwei, he was recruited by me with a recruitment order, and he is now in charge of Jinyiwei, the intelligence department under my command. ”

"Lord, it turns out that this is the Jinyiwei intelligence department you mentioned to me, I didn't expect Jinyiwei's news to be so well-informed."

"Xuan Ling, Jinyiwei now has 1,000 spies, and now they have all been assigned to key areas to collect intelligence."

"I see!"
