Chapter 102 Liu Bei's Pegasus Enters Chigu The whole army is stationed in the Yellow Turban
On this day, Liu Bei and Zhang Zhao are planning the entire Gumo City, at this time the city wall of ten miles square outside the Gumo City has been completely built, and the moat of two zhang wide has been dug outside the Gumo City, and the water of the Khotan River is led to irrigate it, the entire Gumo City is an oasis on three sides, you can grow food, but one side is close to the desert, and Liu Bei has already planted rows of poplars when he began to build Gumo City.
Recently, after the construction of Gumo City was completed, Liu Bei wanted to discuss the construction of the city with Zhang Zhao, and at the same time rebuild the entire southern city into a capital protection mansion. At this time, another 800 miles of urgent war reports were sent to the council chamber.
Reading the battle report, Liu Bei was overjoyed, and then handed the battle report to Zhang Zhao, "Zibu, great joy, Wenhe, Yuan Hao and Gongtai have taken Wusun Chigu City." ”
Zhang Zhao read the entire battle report, and then bowed down to congratulate Liu Bei.
"Zibu, since I have gone to Wusun, I am ready to go to Chigu City in person, you called Zhang Hong, Chen Qun, Mao Jue and Wang Lang to go with me, we want to plan the governance of Wusun, although I have thought about it almost, but I never thought that Wusun would take it so quickly." Liu Bei said slowly.
After arranging the affairs, Liu Bei led Zhang Zhao and a group of civil officials, and Zhao Yu commanded two thousand women's troops to set off for Chigu City.
Five days later, Liu Bei and his entourage arrived at Chigu City, and as soon as they entered Chigu City, Liu Bei entered the Golden Horde of Wusun Kingdom, and then all the civil and military forces also followed into the Golden Horde.
"This attack on Wusun, everyone has worked hard, thank you here for the big man!" Liu Bei opened his mouth and said in appreciation!
"The lord is strategizing." All the civil and military said in unison!
"My lord, our army suffered less than 30,000 casualties in this battle, and a total of less than 100,000 troops were annihilated and defeated in Dawan and Wusun Kingdom, and at the same time 30,000 soldiers of Dawan Kingdom were captured, 90,000 elite soldiers of Wusun Kingdom and 20,000 young men under the age of eighteen." At Liu Bei's signal, Jia Xu spoke.
"This is a big victory, I want to expand the army again, I don't know what you think?" This time, Liu Bei did not directly expand the compilation, but asked.
After all, the current Western Regions is not a small place with one or two counties, but the largest state capital comparable to the Han Dynasty, and the expansion of the army is no longer as before, and there is no need to consider the balance between supply and demand, population balance, balance of revenue and expenditure, and so on.
"My lord, now the entire six counties of Yanqi, Qiuzi, Shule, Khotan, Jingjue, and Shanshan in the Western Regions have entered a process of stable development, among which the four counties of Shanshan, Jingjue, Khotan, and Shule have not only been self-sufficient, but also able to feed other counties." Seeing Liu Bei ask like this, Zhang Zhao took the lead in answering, after all, the current Zhang Zhao is the chief of the Western Regions and is in charge of the government affairs of the Western Regions.
"The situation of Dawan and Wusun still needs to be confirmed, but as far as the situation of the six southern counties of the Western Regions is concerned, it can support an army of 120,000 under the extreme circumstances. The Dawan Kingdom suffered almost any damage, so the 30,000 captives of the Dawan Kingdom could be directly replenished into the army. It was Tian Feng who spoke.
"However, the Wusun Kingdom is different, the Wusun Kingdom was originally a nomadic people, so all the men of the appropriate age are soldiers, so almost all the families lack the pillars of the family, this battle not only captured 90,000 elites, but also defeated the 80,000 Wusun army, so, if the lord wants to rule Wusun, he needs to disband some prisoners, so as to stabilize Wusun." Jia Xu added again.
Liu Bei's rule of the Western Regions was different from before, and the Han Dynasty only ruled the Western Regions before, and did not govern but handed over all the governance rights to the countries of the Western Regions. Now that Liu Bei wants to govern the Western Regions, he needs to balance everything in the Western Regions.
"In this way, how many troops can our army expand to in the end?" Liu Bei asked again.
Zhang Zhao, Tian Feng, and Jia Xu summed it up, and then Zhang Zhao replied again.
"The lord can expand up to 150,000 troops, and if the lord needs to expand to more troops, he will need to wait a little longer."
For the figures Zhang Zhao said, Liu Bei really felt that it was not enough, although the entire Western Regions had a population of nearly two million, the area was also quite large, so there were many places that needed to be defended.
"Since this is the case, I will do what you say, and I want to divide the entire Wusun into four counties for governance." While Liu Bei spoke, Zhao Yu beside him slowly opened the entire map of the Western Regions.
"Previously, Dawan had been divided into two counties, and Ran Ziyang and Kong Zhang had already assigned the southwestern part of Wusun to Wuwan County according to my request. Therefore, the northwest of Wusun was divided into Wuhan County, with Zhang Hong as the first county guard, and Wuwan County and Dawan County to guard against the Northern Xiongnu; ”
"Set up the northern part of Wusun as Wubei County, with Chen Qun as the first county guard, and always be ready to support Wuhan County;"
"The southern part of Wusun and Akaya Castle were established as the county of Unan, and Wang Lang was the first county guard."
"The eastern part of Wusun was established as Wudong County, with Mao Jue as the first county guard. And the four counties of Wusun need to build cities according to the standard of the southern counties of the Western Regions. Choose an area with fertile pastures around the area to build a city, grow crops, and graze at the same time. Liu Beiyi ordered at the beginning.
"This time I took Wusun and Dawan, so that there are several more big enemies on the border of my Western Regions, and there are three more countries on the border with the Dawan army, namely Guishan, Kangju and Northern Xiongnu, and at this time the Northern Xiongnu and Kangju are still in the war, so there is no obstacle for the time being, what needs to be guarded against is the army of Guishan from the Green Ridge, so it is the top priority in defense."
"Secondly, Wuwan County and Wuhan County faced the Northern Xiongnu, so they also needed to send heavy troops to guard them, and then Yanqi County, which needed to guard against Xianbei; Finally, the Western Regions need the army to maintain law and order. ”
"Therefore, the expansion and expansion of the Longxiang army to two armies, a total of 25,000 troops, including one cavalry army; An army of foot soldiers. It is still under the command of Huang Zhong, and it is stationed in Yanqi, defending Xianbei, and maintaining law and order in the southern part of the Western Regions. So Liu Bei began to expand the army.
"The Xiaoguo army expanded to two armies and attacked an army of 25,000 troops, including one cavalry army; An army of foot soldiers. It is still under the command of Xu Huang, stationed in Dawan County to guard against Guishan and Kangju. ”
"The Shence army was expanded to 20,000 and 10,000 cavalry; There are 10,000 foot soldiers, still led by Zhang Ren, stationed in Shule County, ready to support Dawan County at any time. ”
"The Hundred Battles Army was expanded to 20,000 cavalry, commanded by Wen Chou; The pro-guard army was expanded to 20,000 cavalry and changed to Yan Liang's command; And Chen Gong served as the military division of the two armies, and stationed Wuhan County and Wuwan County together to guard against the Northern Xiongnu. ”
"The Leopard Tao Army, expanded to 20,000, is led by Yan Yan, with 10,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry; Under the command of Yan Yan, he was stationed in Wudong County to guard against Xianbei and maintain law and order in the entire four counties of Wusun. ”
"The Black Flag Army, expanded to 15,000 cavalry, stationed in Wubei County, to assist in the defense of the Northern Huns."
"The tiger and leopard ride will not be expanded for the time being, and it is still led by Lu Bu. At the same time, non-commissioned soldiers can be selected in the whole army and eliminated. At the same time, he was stationed in Gumo to protect the capital. ”
"The women's army, expanded to 5,000, led by Zhao Yu, stationed in Gumo Kingdom, guarding the capital."
After such an arrangement, Liu Bei's available soldiers were only Zhao Yu's 5,000 women's army and Lu Bu's 5,000 tigers and leopards. However, due to the strong military protection in all directions of the entire Western Regions, the stability of the entire Western Regions is no longer in any problem.
After arranging the expansion of the army, Liu Bei also ordered Zhang Zhao to dismiss all the redundant young men and eliminated soldiers. Then, after the armies went to the garrisons of the armies, Liu Bei sat down with Zhang Zhao, Jia Xu, Chen Gong and Tian Feng again.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it is faster than I expected to seize the entire Western Regions, but we still can't take it lightly, according to the detailed report, Zhang Jiao and others have begun to prepare for rebellion, but Zhang Jiao and others have friends in Luoyang, so the Luoyang Imperial Court doesn't know about it at all. I have also ordered Gongda and Yuan Chang to play the saint, but presumably there will be no result, so the Han chaos is imminent. ”
Liu Bei looked at the people sitting still and said slowly. In fact, not only Liu Bei has seen the root cause of the trouble, but many county guards within the Han Dynasty have already reported to the Luoyang Imperial Court, but all the twists and turns have been lost. It was indeed intercepted by Zhang Rang, Feng Zhen and others, because Zhang Jiao had a large amount of money to be offered to the Ten Standing Servants every year.
"So, we really can't stop it?" It was Chen Gong who spoke.
"Gongtai, I also want to stop it, but there is no way at all, not to mention that I can't wait to see the saint, even if I see the saint, I can't fight the ten permanent servants in the palace, only by killing the ten permanent servants, we will have a chance to set things right. However, it is not so simple to kill the ten permanent servants. Liu Bei explained a little to Chen Gong, but he put all the problems on the Ten Standing Servants.
Jia Xu and Tian Feng tacitly glanced at each other, and then chose to be silent. Although they had already guessed Liu Bei's idea of competing for world dominance again, they couldn't say it at all at this time.
"Yet, my lord, what do we want?" Chen Gong asked eagerly.
"Develop the Western Regions, wait for Zhang Jiao to disrupt, and then if Luoyang is chaotic, then lead the army to Qingjun's side and kill the eunuchs. It's also a big man. Rest assured, as long as I am Liu Bei, the Han is here. But he also came up with a set of bluffing theories.
"Therefore, in the next year to come, we need to work hard in the Western Regions, and at that time, we can ask Your Majesty to quell cholera."
It is now the second half of the Eastern Han Dynasty in 182, and in more than a year, Zhang Jiao is about to revolt in the Yellow Turban, and in this more than a year, Liu Bei does not plan to conquer other countries, but develops steadily. In fact, as for the Yellow Turban Uprising, Liu Bei knew that he did not have the opportunity to lead a large army to evaluate the rebellion.
