According to later post-war statistics, in the plan to scatter beans into soldiers, only one person was killed in the Xuzhou guards around Jin Jue, while Wei Yan's guards killed as many as eight, and the two together almost broke ten.

After Wei Yan learned about this incident, he was always haunted, not because he was dissatisfied with Jin Jue, but because he was very dissatisfied with his personal guards. After the war, Wei Yan reconvened his guards and reprimanded them severely.

It is rumored that Wei Yan pointed to his guards at that time and scolded: "If you are all Cheng Lian's personal guards, it will be fine." However, you people are the subordinates of the old character Wei Yan, and you actually fought like this. Is it worthy of the cultivation that the old word has been cultivating you? ”

Hearing this, if Li Feng hadn't stopped him, Cheng Lian would have almost killed Wei Yan in person, and Jin Jue just took it as a joke after hearing it, when did Wei Yan train his subordinates.

And for those guards who fled back from defeat, Jin Jue didn't blame them, Jin Jue's and Wei Yan's guards added up to seventeen people. In fact, Jin Jue has never personally cultivated their ability to lead troops into battle. This kind of thing has to be realized by themselves. Of course, there is also the reason why Jin Jue himself is lazy.

Failure is failure, no matter whether they really don't have the strength to lead the army, or they are unlucky, and they haven't recruited enough Shu soldiers, they are defeated by local forces, and they are defeated after all.

Therefore, Jin Jue's people can only return to Jin Jue's side again and continue to do their old job - guarding. And Wei Yan's people are miserable, Wei Yan is even more decisive in treating such people, he directly sent these people to the front-line troops, starting with the army commander.

If Jin Jue would take care of them and his own face, even if he sent them to the army, he would start directly from the capital, but Wei Yan would not do this, and if he lost his people, he would either rise again or die in the front-line troops.

However, there is also one thing that Wei Yan is very proud of, that is, in the plan to spread beans into soldiers, the person who did the most brilliant work was his fellow villager, Wei Ming, of the same clan.

As mentioned earlier,

First of all, Wei Ming not only became the first person in Jin Jue's army to rely on his own ability to successfully seize Linqiong County, a county in Shu County, but also the first person in Jin Jue's army to go from a low-level officer to a low-level officer and directly receive Jin Jue's reward to become a general.

Secondly, this is not counting, Wei Ming also assisted one of Jin Jue's more excellent guards to take Jiangyuan County in the next plan to scatter beans into soldiers, which can be regarded as making up for his mistake of attacking and startling snakes when he ventured into Linqiong County.

In the end, Wei Ming actually pulled out a huge army of more than 30,000 people directly from Linqiong County.

Of course, this is only a special case within a special case.

For example, Jin Jue's Ma Han, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu were the closest to the guards, and with Jin Jue's help, they took Luo County, Deyang County and Shifang County, even so. When they left their respective counties after the arrival of the three auxiliary soldiers who had succeeded them as county commanders, although the number of soldiers under their command exceeded 10,000, the total number of soldiers led by Mahan did not exceed 15,000 soldiers.

There is no way, the more prosperous the place, the more the people cherish their lives.

On the contrary, Linqiong County, which Wei Ming captured, was located at the southwest end of Shu County, and was a place where Han and barbarians lived together, so more than half of the 30,000 troops recruited by Wei Ming were barbarians with poor personal equipment but very strong combat effectiveness.

Of course, because there are no powerful clan leaders in Linqiong County, this made him pick up a big bargain, and if Wei Ming is sent to Jianwei County, he will not be so lucky. The key is the county, the barbarian power is strong, and the barbarian tribes live in seclusion in the mountains, and most of the tribes have a strong control over the tribes. Even if Jin Jue himself relied on the bargaining chip of land to recruit soldiers, he would not have done a better job than Wei Ming.

It may even be inferior to Wei Ming, because the age, appearance and figure of the two are very different.

Sometimes, a person's appearance and stature will have a great advantage when recruiting soldiers.

Wei Ming is eight feet tall, and from the perspective of later generations, he is not a handsome little fresh meat, but this young man is extremely heroic, which makes people feel at ease at first glance.

The reason why Wei Ming is so successful, in addition to his boldness, is that his appearance saves him a lot of effort.

However, the situation of these guards recruiting soldiers in the local area generally follows one characteristic, among Shu County, the more remote the township near the mountainous area, relying on the conditions for recruiting soldiers given by Jin Jue, the easier it is to recruit soldiers, on the contrary, the more prosperous the place, the recruitment work is difficult to do. Those who die or are defeated will all fail in such a place.

The reason is very simple, the people in prosperous places are very desperate for their lives, even if most of their income is exploited by the landlord class, but as long as the family can eat enough to eat and not starve to death, who wants to join the army to fight?

For this kind of person, Jin Jue decided that all the people who did not recruit or became deserters in Jin Jue's army would become the Tuntian soldiers of Yizhou in the future, although they would also be given public land, but they would have to pay 50% or 60% of the income from the government. This is actually the same as Cao Cao's acquisition of Tuntian in the Central Plains.

Since you don't want to fight for more benefits for yourself, then continue to be obedient to the people, on the contrary, no matter what the purpose, what the reason, all the soldiers who joined Jin Jue's army and did not escape, after the war, they will be rewarded according to their personal merits, and all the soldiers who are killed in battle or disabled by injury, Jin Jue will move these soldiers or their families to Chengdu City.

As for the other soldiers, the cultivated land promised by Jin Jue will not be less than a penny.

That's all for later!

With little understanding of the situation in Yizhou as a whole, the war between Liu Zhangjun and Jin Juejun has begun to enter the next stage.

From the beginning of March of the third year of Jian'an, Jin Juejun led his troops into Hanzhong County, attacked in May, and it took less than half a month to completely drive Zhang Lu and his remaining party out of Hanzhong County.

In mid-May, Jin Jue himself followed closely behind the vanguard army formed by Wei and others, led his troops into Ba County, jumped out of Ba County in June, and took the counties in the central and southern parts of Guanghan County, the northern and western counties of Shu County in July.

Originally, when Liu Zhangjun and Jin Juejun were at the most anxious in the offensive and defensive battles in Xindu County, they underwent drastic changes because of Lu Bu's sudden arrival.
