Chapter 60 The Five Counties of Northern Zhao
"Lian Wu," Zhao Yong looked at Lian Po, but asked Lian Wu, "What is Yan General Yan Bing?" ”
Lian Wu was slightly stunned, and was a little overwhelmed by Zhao Yong's question.
"All generals are also the heads of the army. Everyone talks about the generals, and they all say that they are brave, but the brave will be light, and they will not know the benefits. Therefore, the most important ones, one is the fruit, the enemy and decisive, the second is the precept, although the first battle, the third is the covenant, the law is not annoying. Its Quartet is brave. Therefore, the success of generals first has the ability to be decisive, then there is a cautious heart, then there is a disciplined act, and there is a brave act in the rear. These are the four preparations, and all of them are indispensable. ”
"First there are generals, then there are soldiers. will lead the people to calm the people, and the enemy will be suspicious, so you should set an example, so that you can give orders and not commit crimes, and you will not dare to be the enemy. ”
The more Lian Wu said, the cooler his heart became. These things were all things that Zhao Shan and Que Guanzi had told him many times, and he also took this as the goal to lead the troops to train. However, what Lian Po is doing now is just breaking what he respects. He had never entered the Juanjia battalion, and Zhao Shan told him that it was the most disciplined unit of the Zhao army. Zhao Yong dared to use a plan to take risks with 2,000 rolls of armor, which shows Zhao Yong's confidence in this army, and it also shows the importance of an army's combat effectiveness and military discipline.
"Lian Po, Lone tells you. First of all, you can't be called the 'last general', you are not a lone general, and you are not qualified to be the general of my Zhao State. Those soldiers who died under the iron hooves of the Hu people can be called generals, and those captains who died on the foundation stone of the Zhao State can be called generals, and you, what qualifications do you have to use this title! ”
When Zhao Yong shouted these words, Lian Po trembled violently in fright, and cold sweat flowed down his immature cheeks. The wind whined outside, and Lian Po's heart seemed to be frozen.
"Secondly. If the military order fails, the army will be chaotic, and if the army is in chaos, the country will not become a country. The reason why the Qin State is strong is that it relies on strict military discipline to restrain the Qin people, and the Zhao people's style is fierce, similar to the Qin State, gathering crowds to fight, which is equally serious. If everyone acts arbitrarily and does not obey military orders. Another day, as indicated by a certain order flag, I'm afraid that you will dare to return to attack Lone's own formation! ”
Zhao Yong's words were so heartbreaking that he even suspected that Lian Po had a disobedient heart, so frightened that Lian Wu hurriedly benecitted forgiveness and cried bitterly, but Lian Po was completely stupid and didn't know how to answer Zhao Yong.
Zhao Shan and Li Dui waited outside the main hall for a long time, but they never heard the news of Zhao Yong's meeting. Although Zhao Shan stood there calmly, he was still a little anxious in his heart. For Lian Wu's father and son, he deplored it very much. Originally, if Lian Wu hadn't brought troops here without authorization, he would have relied on Lian Po to sneak into the city to assist Li Dui, which could also be regarded as some credit, allowing him to enter the army early for training. But coincidentally, Lian Wu led troops to besiege Jinyang without authorization, although it is excusable, but in the absence of military orders, it can be said that it is taboo to lead the troops, no matter what the reason, it can be completely charged with complicity and rebellion, and the father and son died too unjustly.
Zhao Shan and Lian Wu have been together for a long time, so they naturally believe in what kind of person they are. But, alas, in any case, I will have to argue for him for a while. And Zhao Shan looked at Li Dui, this person was indifferent, which made Zhao Shan feel a little uncomfortable, after all, this matter was still caused by Li Dui, did Li Dui have to watch Lian Wu's father and son fold inside?
Zhao Shan just wanted to talk to him, but saw two figures walking out in a trance, Lian Po supported Lian Wu, and appeared in front of the two with a lonely expression. Obviously, he was severely reprimanded, and seeing the two of them able to come out showed that Zhao Yong was still open to them. "General Lian Wu, you ......"
"General Zhao." Lian Wu lowered his head and said ashamedly, "Lian is ashamed of teaching the general, and now he is already the right captain." The king ordered me to move to Lin Cheng in the near future and act as the main general. ”
Zhao Shan was slightly stunned. According to Zhao's new military merit system, non-school captains cannot serve as city guards, and the guards of important cities are generally capital captains, and the cities between the border between the two countries must at least be school captains. When Lian Wu was in Shiyi, he served as a lieutenant with the right lieutenant, and was promoted to the left lieutenant the next year, and this year he was promoted to the general of the Terrier Yang, and he was promoted to the rank of lieutenant. Because of this incident, Zhao Yong directly demoted him by two levels and served as the guard general of Lin City with the right captain. This is worth playing, you know, Lin Cheng is one of the most important cities on the border between Zhao and Qin, and almost every year it will be harassed by Qin, Zhao Yong moved him to Lin Cheng, whether it is important or degraded, it makes Zhao Shan scratch his head.
"Then he ......" Zhao Shan looked at Lian Po, who was also depressed, and asked.
Speaking of Lian Po, Lian Wu said even more disappointedly: "The king has arranged for Po'er to go to the Cloud City under General Niu Jian to train, starting from an ordinary soldier. ”
Zhao Shan nodded.
As the Northern Expedition was basically over, and the battle of Hangu Pass fell into a stalemate, Zhao Yong had to arrange the follow-up matters, and hurriedly left the north and rushed back to Handan. Before leaving, he made arrangements for the northern territory of Zhao.
Zhao Yong ordered the establishment of four new counties from east to west, namely Yanmen County, Yunzhong County, Jiuyuan County and Wuyuan County, plus the previous Dai County, which basically demarcated the northern territory of Zhao State. With Niu Jian as the general, he commanded the military affairs and horse politics of the five counties, and all of them were under the control; With Zhao Gu as the false appearance, he was responsible for the government affairs of the five counties, and all the affairs of reclamation, migration, and taxation were all managed; With Lou Chuan as the deputy minister, he assisted Zhao Gu in completing civil issues in the five counties. It can be said that half of the territory of Zhao is in the hands of these three people, and the three of them contain each other, forming an iron triangle of the northern border defense line of Zhao State.
According to Zhao Yong's meaning, the northern part of the five counties is basically built along the line of Yinshan Mountain, directly to the border of Yan State; In the south, it is the Yunzhong City of Yunzhong County, Lin City and Lishi of Yanmen County, and Jinyang is the seat of Yanmen County; the eastern part of the country and the Zhongshan kingdom; In the west, it reached the high platform of Wolf Mountain and the bend of the great river. That is to say, the western and northern parts of Zhao are the activity areas of the Xiongnu, the eastern part is the border of Yan and Zhongshan, and the southern part is intersecting with the upper counties of Qin. Therefore, the defense of the five counties, the first is the Xiongnu in the north, and the second is the Qin State in the south.
As one of the five counties, Yanmen County not only includes the two passes of Yanmen Pass and Ningwu Pass, but also includes large cities such as Jinyang, and Lin Cheng and Lishi, two cities that have been repeatedly contested by Zhao and Qin, from the perspective of northern defense, it is the second line of defense against the Huns going south, and from the south, it is the first line of defense against the attack of the Qin State, and its importance is self-evident. Zhao Yong also had to choose a suitable commander for this county.
He chose Zhao Shan.
"The king has entrusted this important task to the last general, and the last general feels a great responsibility. I'm just afraid of old age and frailty, and I can't bear the heavy responsibility. Zhao Shan looked at Zhao Yong and couldn't help but say.
"The old general has just passed the age of knowing his fate, so he must not have such thoughts." Zhao Yong smiled and helped him up, "Now that I, Zhao Guo, have driven away Lou Fu and recovered Lin Hu, the territory is a lot bigger, but our neighbors, I'm afraid it's uncomfortable." ”
Zhao Shan was slightly stunned, and suddenly understood, Zhao Yong was referring to the Qin State, "Now that the Qin army is being pinned down by the Five Nations Alliance in Hangu Pass, it is easy not to dare to go out of the Great Wall, this is a good time, and our army is taking this opportunity to lay a foundation in northern Xinjiang." When the Qin army wants to send troops north, our army will have a way to deal with it. What Gu is most worried about now is the Qin army's attack on Yunzhong and Jiuyuan counties, as well as the attack on Lin Cheng and Lishi. ”
"So although the monarch belittled Lian Wu, he had to use him to garrison Lin City, just to prepare for the attack of the Qin State."
"Those who know me, the general." Zhao Yong said with a smile, "In addition, Gu and General Niu Jian have discussed that Yanmen, Yunzhong and Jiuyuan will form an interactive trend. If the Qin army attacked Yanmen, Yunzhong and Jiuyuan would attack and put pressure on the upper counties of Qin; In the same way, if the Qin State sent troops to Yunzhong and Jiuyuan, then Yanmen should do a good job of fighting and distracting the Qin army. In this way, we can keep our northern border safe. Leaning slightly, Zhao Yong continued, "What's more, there is also a Wei State beside him, eyeing him?" ”
Zhao Shan also left, and Zhao Yong finally breathed a sigh of relief, and what he thought along the way from Yunzhong to Jinyang made him use all his scheming. He feels that governing a country is really not a human thing, for example, in the matter of selecting generals, Niu Jian deserves to become a general, but if he hands over the military affairs of the five counties to him, Zhao Yong will not be able to sleep peacefully. So, Zhao Yong arranged a clan general like Zhao Shan, and also transferred back to Zhao Zhuang from Handan, this veteran of the clan who has experienced a hundred battles, he and Zhao Shan control Yanmen County and Yunzhong County, I believe that with such an arrangement, even if the power is handed over to Niu Qian, Zhao Yong can rest easy. After Zhao Xi, a famous general of the clan, lingered on the sickbed, Zhao Shan and Zhao Zhuang were barely able to support the face of the clan generals.
Li Zhuo was also arranged by him to boil his qualifications in the clouds, and the generals in the clouds will be an important source of war horses and cavalry bases for Zhao State, and Li Zhuo is his confidant, and he may not be promoted if he is arranged here. Li Yan is also about to be transferred, and Zhao Yong is ready to let him return to Daijun again. At the beginning, he was arranged to come to Ningwu, one was to build a pass, and the other was to defend Jinyang, but at this moment, the matter of Jinyang has been resolved, and Li Yan's role is gone.
In addition, Zhao Yong also took special care of Li Zhuo and found him a good wife. But it was none other than Zhuoka, who had escaped from the Loufu tribe.
First of all, Zhao actually only established Yunzhong, Jiuyuan, Yanmen and Daijun, because Zhao did not attack Wuyuan, because there was no Wuyuan County, and there are discrepancies between here and historical materials, so don't sit in the right seat. Secondly, this chapter was written in too much of a hurry, mainly because of a computer failure, lest I not be able to catch up, which is really a sin.
