Now, in order to make up for the regrets of the original owner's previous life, in order to soothe the unwillingness in his soul, Zhuge Liang feels that he must do something now. For example, repair the Qishan Road, and then station troops in Qishan, or go to Qishan again, and so on.

"Lord, after Qishan to the north, it is Wudu County in Liangzhou."

"From the west of Wudu County, it is Xiliang, and the east is eight hundred miles of Qinchuan."

"Now, Liangzhou and Guanzhong are under the control of the Western Liangma Army. However, Cao Cao's current attack on Tiger Prison Pass and Luoyang is very urgent, Ma Teng and Han Sui can't stop Cao Cao's troops for too long, it is foreseeable that within two years, the Xiliang army will inevitably be driven out of Guanzhong by Cao Cao. ”

"At that time, it will also be the best time for our army to intervene in the battle situation in Guanzhong!"

"Yes, it is very necessary for our army to repair the Qishan road and live in Qishan with 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers and horses."

"At that time, General Yun Chang sent troops from Hanzhong, or took the Bao Slope Road, or took the Meridian Valley, and directly came to Chang'an; And here in Qishan, you can go out of Longyou and join General Guan's army in Chang'an, and then you can quickly sweep through Guanzhong and come to Wanluo! ”

Zhuge Liang pointed out the country on the map while talking to Uncle Liu Huang.

Originally, letting Guan Yu and Pang Tong be stationed in Hanzhong had the intention of looking down on Guanzhong, but now, if there are 10,000 or 20,000 troops in Qishan, it will not be so difficult to compete with Cao Cao for Guanzhong when the time comes.

Of course, by the way, you can also get a little bit of it, but the unwillingness left by the original owner in his previous life.

Whether to send troops to help Ma Teng fight Cao Cao, this question was not mentioned by Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.

Actually, from the very beginning, this problem did not exist!

It is said that the alliance with Ma Teng was to use their Xiliang army to fight Cao Cao in Guanzhong. Only when Ma Teng and Cao Cao are both defeated, or Ma Teng is driven out of Guanzhong by Cao Cao, is the time for their Hanzhong army to enter.

Therefore, all along, it has been said that they want to join forces with the Xiliang Army to fight against Cao, which is actually a picture cake for Ma Teng!

As for Ma Teng, after they know these inside information, will they be furious?

This problem also does not exist.

Ma Teng and they don't think that the joint anti-Cao is a cake.

Because, when the time comes, the Hanzhong army will inevitably intervene, enter Guanzhong, and fight Cao Cao with the Xiliang army. And before that, the soldiers of the Hanzhong Army were dragged in the quagmire of Sichuan and Shu, and they couldn't support the Xiliang Army, and no one could say that Uncle Liu Huang was unkind!

……

Repair the Qishan Mountain Road and garrison troops in Qishan, this proposal, Uncle Liu Huang quickly agreed. After all, when the time comes to attack Guanzhong, the two armies will attack separately, which is faster than the first army, and it can also make Cao Cao more defenseless.

With that said, it's lunchtime.

At this time, although it was decided to move the capital to Cheng. all, but everyone's family members are still far away in Hanzhong, yes, whether it is breakfast or lunch, or dinner or something, Zhuge Liang is most likely to have a meal with Liu Bei.

Lunch was quickly served, and Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei chatted while eating.

The question of the capital has been decided, and the question of annexation has also been decided, but there are still two issues that have not yet been decided.

That is, the elite army is simplified, and the talent is simply promoted!

Of course, if Zhuge Liang didn't mention it, Uncle Liu Huang was afraid that he wouldn't be able to think of these things for the time being.

"After the entire Yizhou is completely taken, the army will be reduced to a small number of soldiers, and the yamen in various places will also be reduced to those officials."

Zhuge Liang said, Liu Bei was noncommittal, waiting for Zhuge Liang to continue.

"There are old, weak, sick and disabled people in the Shu army, and there are even some soldiers, these people must be eliminated."

"Those who are willing to return home will be given travel expenses and retirement fees, so that they can be discharged and returned to the field; Those who do not want to return home and want to stay in the army can form a Tuntian Corps and choose a place in Shu to carry out military reclamation. ”

"In this way, after streamlining, the lord can get 200,000 soldiers to fight!"

Zhuge Liang said this, Liu Bei felt heartache.

At present, it is a troubled time, and the princes from all walks of life are not recruiting troops, who has ever seen the streamlining of soldiers?

You must know that the Hanzhong army in the hands of Liu Bei had 120,000 people before, plus the Shu army that surrendered, there were nearly 250,000 people. This adds up, which is no less than 370,000 soldiers and horses, and hundreds of thousands of real armor.

This is not counted, after recovering the four counties of Yinan, there will be 50,000 soldiers and horses.

It can be said that in terms of the number of soldiers and horses, he Liu Bei is already the second in the world at this time.

With so many soldiers and horses in hand, Cao Cao or something, Liu Bei also dared to break his wrist with him!

However, now Kong Ming said that so many soldiers and horses must be streamlined, and in the end there will only be 200,000 combatable soldiers left, which is almost equivalent to cutting half of the troops.

Of course, Liu Bei also knew that Zhuge Kongming would not harm him, and it was indeed feasible to streamline the administration of elite soldiers.

I think that at the beginning, when he Liu Bei entered Hanzhong, after he surrendered Zhang Lu's Hanzhong army, the total number of soldiers and horses in his Liu Bei's hands was no less than 180,000, and later more than 30,000 soldiers were recruited, but in the end, after Kong Ming's elite soldiers and simplified administration, the Hanzhong army finally only had 108,000 soldiers.

It is precisely the elite soldiers who streamline the administration that make these 100,000 Hanzhong soldiers become combatable soldiers in just one year!

You must know that in this era, whether it is a surrender or a new soldier, it is almost impossible to become a combatant in a year, unless it is a good fight, or a grass coward like the Yellow Turban Army at the beginning!

Therefore, the combat effectiveness of the 200,000 army after the streamlining of the army is bound to be no weaker than that of the 450,000 army.

After a heartache and a moment's hesitation, Liu Bei still agreed: "Okay, after Yizhou is pacified, we will streamline the government!" ”

……

Streamlining the administration of elite troops and streamlining the promotion of talents are actually complementary to each other.

The army needs to streamline the administration, and the yamen in various localities naturally need to streamline the administration.

After this downsizing, there will always be some vacancies.

Also, after Uncle Liu Huang entered Shu, some corrupt officials and corrupt officials will definitely have to dispose of a batch, which will also form a large number of vacancies.

Moreover, this kind of thing must be set when Uncle Liu Huang has just entered Shu.

Because, at this time, with a sharp spirit that has just entered Shu, he can suppress all kinds of disobedience in Yizhou, even if he is a strong man in Yizhou, he does not dare to act rashly, and can only be at the mercy of Uncle Liu Huang.

However, once three or five years have passed, if we want to streamline the administration and replace the officials, there will inevitably be many resistances.

There are too many vacancies, and it is good to say that small officials such as wardens can be filled with veterans who have retired from the army. However, the chief officials such as the county order and the county inheritance, as well as the scribe and other officials, this is not something that retired veterans in the army can fill.

You must know that in this era, there are not many people in the army who can read and hyphenate.

Therefore, these vacant talents need to be drawn from the people. Still struggling with the latest chapter you can't find?
