0040 Hu Mi Guo expanded the army again and trained the troops in Khotan

Because the monarch of Humi took the initiative to surrender the whole country, Liu Bei took the Humi country for Fei with one soldier. At this time, there were 8,000 households, 40,000 mouths, and 3,000 soldiers. After Liu Bei led his army into Humi City, he ordered to directly control all the soldiers, and directly entered the palace to meet with the monarch of Humi and a number of ministers.

"The monarch can know the righteousness of the country and submit to my Han, Bei is very happy, the monarch and relax, the royal family of the country will be preserved, and the preparation will be in accordance with Shanshan County in the two cities of the country of the country, the three cities of the country of the country and the three cities of the end of the country are combined to set up as a county, temporarily consider the country of the country of the essence of the county, the name of the county is the county, but the country of the country and the end of the royal family are slaughtered, is to wait for the county to be completed, the royal family can enjoy thirty percent of the tax, enough for the entire royal family to live a carefree life. If a talented person in the royal family is willing to become an official, as long as the Pontus Protector feels that it is okay, he can also go to the Pontus Protector to be an official, and it is not impossible to build the glory of the country! ”

The monarch of Humi led a family to fall to the ground and thanked Liu Bei again and again.

After solving the affairs of the royal family, Liu Bei set his sights on a cadre of civil and military ministers. The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs was furious when Liu Bei saw it. They all knelt on the ground and swore allegiance, and even when they wanted to give their daughters to Liu Bei to warm the bed, Liu Bei insisted on dealing with these civil and military generals without smiling.

Among the 3,000 soldiers of the Hu Mi Kingdom, there is a general named Adili, who is also a third-rate military general, and was appointed by Liu Bei as Gan Ning's deputy with the position of a captain. The captured generals of the Elite Country, Zahemu and Sha are still locked up in the Elite Country, and will wait until Liu Bei returns to the Elite City to deal with them. All the civil servants will be sent to the end of the country as officials, and all the officials who have surrendered in the end of the country will be sent to the Jingjue country, and all the officials who have surrendered in the Jingjue country will be sent to the Humi country as officials, so as to put an end to the soil of these civil rebellions.

After dealing with civilian officials and military generals, Liu Bei began to expand the army on a large scale. The 3,000 people captured by the Humi Kingdom this time had 2,000 cavalry and 1,000 sword and shield soldiers, and Liu Bei arranged them after thinking about it.

"Feng Xian, select 1,000 cavalry from the surrender army of the country of Humi to supplement the Hundred Battles Army, and expand the Hundred Battles Army to a full strength of 5,000 cavalry."

"Zhang Ren, select 1,000 cavalry from the surrendered army to supplement the Black Flag Army, and also expand the number of 5,000 cavalry."

"Gongming, the remaining 1,000 sword and shield soldiers are added to the Rubaotao army, and the full strength is also 5,000. Not enough to pick from Gan Ning's Divine Army. ”

"Xingba, there are more than 5,000 soldiers in your Zhishence army, and we will strive to reduce it to 5,000 based on merit. The surplus was added to Huang Zhong's Long Xiang army. ”

After the generals agreed, Liu Bei said: "Since then, the Hundred Battles Army, the Black Flag Army, and the Leopard Tao Army have all been expanded to two brigades, so that the generals and deputy generals of each army have all led one and have been promoted to military horses, and the candidates for lieutenants in each army will have a big competition for the whole army." Ten days later, a major contest was held within each army, and 10 lieutenants were selected for each. There are three contents of the competition: 1. Force: to determine the top 10 in force; 2. The Art of War: Decide the top 10 in the Art of War; 3. Training: Ten outstanding training officers will be determined. These thirty people should overlap, and all of them should be reported to me, and I will circle the battalion chief and battalion deputy of each battalion. After the contest, he sent troops to attack Khotan, and during this time sent a large number of scouts to explore Khotan. ”

After everyone agreed again, they said goodbye to Liu Bei, but Jia Xu was left by Liu Bei.

"Wenhe, the bigger this territory, the more Bei finds that there is a lack of talent in his hands, after the three kingdoms of Humi, Jingjue and the end of the three kingdoms, I want to set up a county, but there is no suitable county guard. At this time, Shanshan County has just started to build Cai for two months, and all matters have just begun, although we have cultivated some talents in the early stage, but the most is the material of the county order. Where can you stand on your own? Liu Bei said melancholy, "Besides, the next public will reach Khotan, to be honest, the battle in Khotan is not big, take the country of Khotan, and it is bound to leave an army to garrison in the country to deter Gumo and Qiuzi in the north." And the number of this army is not small, and a certain plan is to leave Gan Ning's Shence army. The rest is the newly reorganized Hundred Battles, Black Cavalry and Leopard Tao armies totaling 15,000 soldiers, in addition to 1,000 personal guards. And because of the reorganization, the combat strength is really not flattering, although a certain order for the whole army to compete in martial arts, but it can only improve the morale of the corpora, and relatively improve the combat effectiveness. I don't know what Wen He can do? ”

"The lord has filtered, although the three armies of Baizhan, Black Cavalry, and Leopard Tao have just been reorganized, but their combat power is extraordinary, and the peerless generals like the lord Yo Lu Bu, Zhang Ren and Xu Huang are better than Khotan, but what the lord is worried about is to take Khotan with the smallest battle losses. As long as this matter is planned properly, it must not be too difficult. As for the county guards of the newly built counties mentioned by the lord, there are a little different opinions: first, the east-west span of the three kingdoms of the end of the end, the essence of the master, and the three kingdoms of the three kingdoms is too large, and the plagiarism thinks that one county cannot be established, whether the two countries of the end and the essence should be set up as one county, add a county guard, and then build three counties. Second, in fact, the king of Shanshan State, Pu Liyun, is quite talented, and he can be ordered to serve as the county guard to govern the county, but the county soldiers are controlled by the lord, so it is foolproof. Third, the talent of the director of the country should also be good, and he can also become a county guard. Fourth, set up these lords of the Western Regions as county guards, leaving wives and concubines, all family members moved into the state governance, and then controlled the county soldiers, then sit back and relax. After five or ten years, the lord is still worried about the lack of talent? ”

"This is a clever plan, and the three kingdoms of the end, the refinement, and the three kingdoms of Hu Mi cannot be changed as one county, and there are two main reasons for this; The southern line of commerce and trade is long and narrow, if only the two countries are set up as one county, there are too few under the rule, and the three kingdoms of the three kingdoms are in the state after the unification of the whole state, only a few soldiers and horses need to be left to prevent rebellion and maintain law and order, if it is divided into two counties, there are many officials and soldiers, and it is not easy for the people to raise it. In addition, the king of Shanshan State, Pu Lixuan, can be appointed to govern Jingjue County, and all the county guards in the Western Regions will be changed every three years. In this way, the rebellion in the Western Regions was basically put an end to. Does Wenhe think it's okay? ”

"The words of the lord are good."

"Then we need to discuss how to march into Khotan."

"My lord, there is actually only one point to attack Khotan, lure it out of the city to fight with our army in the field. The strength of our army is intertwined with the Khotanese army, and the strength is slightly inferior, but if we can fight with the Khotanese army in the field, it will not be difficult to win with a group of peerless fierce generals under the master's hand. And if you want to fight with it in the field, you need to show the enemy weakness in order to succeed. My lord, he will send troops to you... So... So... So... The promise is sure to win.

"Great goodness."

Ten days later, all the armies began to hold a big contest. Although Adili, the previous defender of the Hu Mi Kingdom, was appointed as a deputy general, Gan Ning received Liu Bei's advice and did not assign troops and horses to Adili. This big contest is first of all a military parade, then a competition, and finally the art of war, and finally each army decided more than 20 winners, Liu Bei personally awarded each battalion one by one and the position of battalion deputy and battalion deputy, so that Liu Bei further strengthened the rule of the army. At the same time, it creates a virtuous circle within the army, and those who are capable will be reused.

After the big competition, after resting for two days, Liu Bei led the army to Khotan, which was already late August. The July monthly reports of the three counties of Huiji, Liaodong, and Yizhou had all been delivered to Liu Bei's military account the day before yesterday.

In July, due to the trade guarantee provided by the sailor between Yizhou, Huiji County and Liaodong, the trade between the three places was particularly smooth, and trade could be carried out once a month, each time it was loaded with salt from Yizhou, and some silk tea and other things were purchased from Huiji County to be sent to Liaodong County, and a large number of war horses were purchased from Liaodong County, so there was still a lot of profit. In the past three months, the two horse farms in Yizhou have been successfully built and there are more than 3,000 war horses, including about 500 stallions, and more than 30 herdsmen have migrated from Liaodong to raise war horses in Yizhou. Although the trade carried out on the water was relatively smooth, there were occasionally some small groups of pirates, relying on the ship to capture the sailor's ship, but instead of success, more than 1,000 people were captured by the sailor several times. All sent to Yizhou Xiuxian County, by the end of July, Yizhou three new county towns have been half completed, although there are subsidies for papermaking and water trade, but Jian Yong estimated that the three county towns to build reserve funds may meet the bottom, letter to ask Liu Bei to suspend the construction of several other cities. When the construction of the three cities is completed, plus the already built Yizhong County, which must be able to accommodate 300,000 to 400,000 people, Jian Yong's suggestion is not to build the city for the time being, and all the existing residents of Yizhou will be relocated to the villages in or outside the four cities, and new immigrants will be building new cities. Liu Bei thought about it and agreed to Jian Yong's request. At the same time, Xi Zhong asked for instructions on whether the construction of the three county towns was completed, and after the relocation of the people was completed, the mountain civilians in the Yizhou Mountains could be recruited. Because there have been several attacks on the paper mill to cut down trees in the mountains, one of the lumberjacks was attacked and killed. After thinking about it for a while, Liu Bei replied with two things: first, he agreed to use troops against the mountain people, but one move was to send the mountain people down to live, supplemented by war; 2. All lumberjacks are required to cut down a tree and plant three trees in the same place, otherwise the loggers will not be paid.
