The regular soldiers of Xuzhou initially only had four battalions of "wind, forest, fire and mountain", plus a team of five people, five platoons for the platoon, five platoons for the team, and five teams for the battalion, which was less than 700 people in one battalion. Later, the army was expanded one after another, expanding the original one battalion to three battalions on the left, center and right, with more than 2,000 people; Then there were divisions under the battalions, and each small battalion had 2,000 people. Now the 12 battalions of "wind, forest, fire, and mountain", plus Guo Mo's "Thunder Battalion", Beigong Chun's "Qiji Battalion", Li Yi's "Bashang Battalion" (once trained in Bashang, hence the name), and Pei Gai's subordinate battalion, the total strength exceeds 30,000.

In addition to the regular soldiers, there were no less than 50,000 peasant soldiers who were temporarily on duty, as well as the newly incorporated soldiers of the Liyun, Suosuo Division, and various places in Yongzhou, that is, the so-called "auxiliary soldiers."

With the expansion of the number of troops and the fact that Pei Gai had already entered the ruling dynasty, Xun Song and others immediately suggested that each battalion be expanded into divisions and even armies. According to Zhou Li, 500 people are a brigade, five brigades are one division, five divisions are one army, then one army is 12,500 people, "Wang Sixth Army, three large armies, two sub-national armies, and one small country."

However, Pei Gai did not plan to change the name of "army", because this word is too national, in other words, if I order the army, it will be a "Chinese army", a force of the imperial court, not my Pei someone's private army...... The names of divisions and brigades are the same, so on the pretext that the new military system is not in line with the ancient rites, Xun Song's suggestion was tactfully rejected.

Now Su Jun, as the deputy battalion governor, has returned two thousand Xuzhou veterans to his hometown, and he has been pondering all the way, and I have to have a majestic battalion number to become a one, one is to boost morale, and the other is to distinguish it from the old "fire robbery camp". But what is the best name? Sun Ziyun: "Its speed is like the wind, its speed is like a forest, the invasion is like fire, it is not moving like a mountain, it is difficult to know like a yin, and it is moving like a thunderstorm." Governor Pei has ordered four battalions of "wind, forest, fire, and mountain", plus a "thunder battalion", which is separated by "difficult to know as yin", which shows that the name is not very good. Even so, maybe the Metropolitan Governor will come up with a good name one day? If I take the word "yin" in vain, I will be envied.

So it's good to learn "Ba Shang Ying" in the name of the land, what is it called? "Xuzhou Battalion"? The main force of the Metropolitan Governor is from Xuzhou, and if I occupy this name, the big guy will have to be anxious with me. "Dongguan Battalion"? It doesn't sound very imposing, and it seems to be confined to a county......

Waiting until he destroyed the Qingzhou soldiers at the foot of Gonglai Mountain, Su Jun suddenly thought that the name "Gonglai" was good. In this name, first, to commemorate the first battle after the formation of the camp, but also the first big victory, and second, why am I here today, is it a sign that there will be a prince in the future?

So he called it "Gonglai Camp", passed the letter to Pei Gai, and asked for permission. The flag of this "Gonglai Battalion" is set as the blue-bottomed fire crow flag, and the "Fire Robbery Camp" flag is a red-bottomed fire crow, so its crow color is black, and the fire crow of the "Gonglai Battalion" is bright red. The fire crow is to not forget to come out of the "robbery fire" Although it is self-reliant, and it is thousands of miles away, Su Jun is also afraid that Zhen will provoke and Xie Feng will be unhappy, and the meaning of Qingdi is: I must burn Qingzhou and cut off the head of Cao Wei's thief embryo!

Moreover, the green is the color of wood, and the wood is in the east, which is also very suitable for the position you are in.

After Su Jun destroyed the Qingzhou soldiers, he immediately marched north to recover the counties of Ju and Guangzhou, and settled on the border line of Qing and Xu Prefectures. Xi Jian reported to Bian, and Bian Wangzhi immediately signed Su Jun as the county order, and led the state to engage in martial arts, so that the president of Xuzhou mobile soldiers and horses was equivalent to allowing Su Jun to recruit troops by himself, so as to enrich the "public camp".

Besides, Liu Ba was defeated and fled back to Guanggu, and under Cao Wei's repeated questioning, he had no choice but to tell Su Jun's words. Cao Wei listened, although he was annoyed, he didn't attack, he muttered for a long time, Fang Shi sighed and said: "If Qingzhou is peaceful, why be afraid of the little Su Zigao, and now ......" and then sent people to Ye County to sweep and protect the tomb of Su Jun's ancestors.

As for sending troops to Xuzhou again to take revenge? He didn't even dare to think about it.

After Su Jun left, Pei should be in Chang'an, and on this day he met a person from afar who was the businessman Yu Ling from Wu County.

Pei Gai was very polite to Yu Ling, and asked him: "Does Qing have a word?" ”

Yu Ling hurriedly replied: "The grass people have also read poetry and books, so naturally there are words and grass words. ”

Pei Cai smiled and asked, "Ziyu is from Shu, why do you serve me?" ”

Yu Ling was blocked by Hu Jun at the crossing of the Yellow River before, and the goods were detained by Liu Fu, and he was asked to go to Pingyang to get paid, but he really went, but soon, it was rumored that Liu and Liu Yao were about to be killed, and Pingyang was in chaos, and then I heard the news that Liu Fu was killed by the Jin people...... How can you still get paid? As for the servants who were sent to deliver news to the Xuzhou army and wanted to make some compensation, they never returned, and they couldn't see anyone alive or dead......

In desperation, he had to find an opportunity to cross to the west, and purchased some furs and animal bones from Di and Qiang in the old Han Shang County, and then went south to Liangzhou to exchange for Shu Jin, Liangzhou has been occupied by Cheng Han, and has its own Shu brocade for sale. This time, he returned to Guanzhong with a few cars of Shu Jin, and when he heard that Pei Gai had been in charge of the Jin Dynasty, he hurriedly came to the door tremblingly to ask for advice.

On the one hand, as a lowly businessman, if you don't have the government as a backer, let alone become bigger, I'm afraid it will be difficult to even keep your capital. But at the same time, Pei Gai is no longer the assassin of the former pastoral state, you are a general of the chariot and a scholar, is he still willing to take care of us businessmen? Yu Ling really didn't know the bottom in her heart.

However, the merchant has always been the most adventurous, always risky, then the return is also large, if there is a five-fold profit, the knife mountain dares to break through, the sea of fire can be crossed, if there is a tenfold profit, I can dig out the ancestral bones to sell! Therefore, he was bold, prepared the gifts, and ran to Pei's mansion to stab.

Although Pei Gai let him sit and wait at the door for a long time, after meeting, his attitude was quite enthusiastic, and he even called Yu Ling the word "Yu Ling". Yu Ziyu couldn't help but lighten his bones by three points, and hurriedly reported to Pei Gai, saying that I just came from Shu and prepared twenty good Shu brocades and dedicated them to Pei Gong.

When Pei Gai heard this, he let out a soft "oh", but he didn't seem to be very happy. Yu Ling thought that he thought that the gift was light, and hurriedly explained: "Pei Gong went on a northern expedition and entered Henan, and the grass people accidentally fell into the battlefield, and the goods were taken away for Hu Kou, and they were almost worthless. Finally resold Di, Qiang fur, animal bones, etc., from Liangzhou to transport some Shu brocade, the best quality only this twenty horses, the rest are shoddy, dare not dedicate ...... "Of course this is nonsense, the same good goods he at least has more than 40 horses."

"Now Pei Gong has established Yongzhou, if you can allow the grass people caravan to come and go freely, I have opened up the Shu Road, and I can continue to supply Shu brocade to the dedication of the different days in the customs, and it will definitely be a hundred times this number!"

Don't be too polite, I've just started to do Shu brocade trading, as long as you are willing to support me, when I make the business bigger, I will naturally let you smoke more.

Pei Gai said with a smile: "I am not greedy for dedication, if Qing has good goods, and I take them all, how different is it from Hu Kou?" It's just that although Shu brocade is beautiful, it is not urgently needed by Chang'an, and it is not easy to sell it at a good price......

Shu brocade is a very high-grade silk fabric, the price is also expensive, but now in Chang'an City, most of them are soldiers, few civilians, and there are not many wealthy eunuchs, although it is in the gradual growth of the market of Shu brocade is quite limited.

"Qing has a car of brocade, which can be sold in the city; There are two cars, which have been touring Guanzhong for several months, and are also expected to be sold; If there are three cars, it will be further east to Henan, and even Yan and Henan, so that all the value can be obtained. ”

Yu Ling frowned slightly, and had to admit that what Pei Gai said was reasonable, but there was something in the other party's words, I had to pretend that I didn't understand anything, and I had to ask" If it is as Pei Gong said...... The grass people's net worth is all bet on Shu brocade, even if they can't be sold in October, they are afraid of bankruptcy...... I hope Pei Gong will save me! ”

Pei Gai asked heuristically: "What do you think is missing in the pass now?" ”

Yu Ling pretended to tilt her head and thought about it, and replied, "Is it grain?" "This year, in Henan and Guanzhong, the harvest is not very good, I know this.

Pei Gai nodded: "The people depend on it, the army depends on it, and there are only two things: food and salt." This year, the harvest in Guanzhong is poor, and it is not near the sea, and it does not produce salt, these two things are urgently needed, and if you can sell them, you will get a big profit. After a pause, he said: "Chengdu is called Tianfu, it is said that it has been ripe for several years, and this year is also an ordinary year, so there is no surplus food?" And the salt of Shuzhijing is also enough to ship. Could you have shipped it for me? ”

Yu Ling pretended to hesitate for a while, Pei Gai was a little anxious, and his face sank: "What's so difficult about Qing?" "Could it be that Cheng Han controlled the export of grain and salt?

Yu Ling replied cautiously: "The grass people have a good feeling, and I hope that Pei Gong will observe it." Now the grass people have been familiar with Yang Hu, the Taishou of the pseudo-Hanzhong of Ba Yi, Yang Hu lacked money to raise soldiers, so he allowed the grass people to make things easier to Shu brocade, and it was not difficult to get Shu grain and salt. However......" raised his eyes and glanced at Pei Gai, and then continued: "The grass people's net worth is all in these cars of Shu brocade, if they can't be sold, they really don't have the capital to buy grain, salt and other things in Hanzhong." Secondly, grain and salt are all needed in the Guanzhong, but if the grass people sell a little, but it is a drop in the bucket, it will not help Pei Gong, and Pei Gong will not be allowed to raise the price casually......"

Pei Gai smiled at him: "Qing knows everything." "How could I possibly allow a businessman to raise prices and still have food and salt for the people's livelihood? But I was able to realize this in advance, I was not mistaken, among the businessmen who dealt with Xuzhou back then, only this Yu Ling was quite promising.

Listening to Yu Ling, he paused and continued: "If Pei Gong limits the price, the profit will be low, and only a large amount of trafficking can be guaranteed...... "Of course, if you can only protect the capital, even if you kill me, I will not do it" However, the road to Shu is difficult, and the grain, salt, etc. are all heavy, and they cannot be transported without hundreds of mules, horses, and labor...... The grass people are really incapable of this! ”

Pei Gai nodded and said, "Qing's words are reasonable, let me think about it." He also thought about it for a while, and then said, "It's better to ...... I will pay all the official receipts, and then fund the capital, and the profits obtained, in addition to repaying the principal, will be divided into five or five accounts, how about? ”

Yu Ling's right hand was in his sleeve, and his five fingers rotated repeatedly, pinching it for a long time, so it seemed to be a little profitable, although it was not much...... But if I can completely attach to Pegi because of this, and the business will grow bigger in the future, I can divide my manpower to sell more profitable goods. Besides, if I partner with Pei Gai to do business, let alone Yongzhou, even if I go to Henan, Yan, Henan, and even Xuzhou, which checkpoint dares to stop it?

"I don't know what Pei Gong is worth? 5 baht? ”

Pei Gai shook his head and said that there is no copper mine in Guanzhong, and I have to travel thousands of miles from Xuzhou to spend money, and there are really not many rich ones, "Chang'an has silver, and Zheng, Xiayang, Yong, and Qi have iron ......"

Yu Ling smiled bitterly: "There is no shortage of iron in Shu. ”

Pei Gai smiled: "But I'm afraid there is no craftsman who is good at forging, right?" ”

Chengdu Plain is known as the "land of abundance", with the benefits of salt and iron, and the original iron-making industry is very developed. But since Cao Wei destroyed Shu, he moved a large group of blacksmiths to the iron mines in the Central Plains, but if he can create good weapons in Sichuan, I am afraid that it will be easy to form a separatist trend, and he must not be prevented, so he can only move the blacksmiths. That's why Pei Caicai said, there is iron in Shu, but there are no good craftsmen, I have good craftsmen, who can build weapons and farm tools, and let you transport finished products to exchange for food and salt.

After the general direction of cooperation was discussed, the specific plans and plans did not need to be bothered by General Pei, and all of them were handed over to Guo Pu, who was in the secretary's office, and asked Yu Ling to negotiate with Guo Pu.

To say that Guo Pu and Guo Jingchun have been extremely busy recently, and even people have been tired and lost half a circle, because Pei should see Tian'er take him with him, and if he has anything to order, it is most convenient to explain to Guo Jingchun, Guo Pu has the name of the clerk, and he is actually the first secretary, and he has many things to do and a wide range. In this regard, Guo Pu is painful and happy, because his colleagues, even at the level of Wei Hong and Hu Yan, and even the newly promoted brothers Liu Xi and Liu Zhuo, are respectful to him every day, and they dare not name him by calling him "Guo Jun".

The big guy privately called Guo Pu "Sacrificial Wine" and "Guo Sacrificial Wine", although the head of the Recording Room is the Governor of the Recording Room, he does not have the position of sacrificial wine at all.

Guo Xijiu is also insightful about the financial situation of Guanzhong today, and he discussed with Yu Ling for a whole afternoon until the beginning of tomorrow. Yu Ling found an opportunity and boldly asked Guo Pu: "If Pei Gong wants to lose his weapon to the thief, isn't he afraid of provoking the ridicule of the enemy?" Guo Pu pouted and smiled: "Who dares to criticize Pei Gong?" And now the pass is barren, everything is not prepared, and in desperation, this policy is made. The plague of scabies will inevitably be harmless to the court with a few weapons with them. ”

If I can really feed the soldiers and the people in the pass, and restore the productive forces, am I afraid that you will have mastered tens of thousands of good weapons?

So on the second day, Yu Ling transported all the Shu brocade to the official warehouse, and Pei Gai would come out on the same day to reward hundreds of officials and generals in order to win people's hearts. Immediately, Yu Ling led the servants across Weishui and went to Weicheng to receive silver ingots and weapons that had just been built.

The person in charge of mining, forging and smelting, and military control was Liu Xi, a native of Xie County, Hedong, who had recently returned to the north and defected to the Chang'an regime.
