Chapter Ninety-Five: Liu Shi's Promotion to the Rank of Minister

Liu Shi looked in the direction of Chang'an, sighed deeply, and said secretly: "I don't know if it's right or wrong to do this?" I don't know if the spirit of the first emperor in the sky agrees. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoBut this Yuan Shu is definitely not a good person. Let him take over the business, I will not be willing. Just thinking about the guard, he came in and said, "Shi Junhou is back." ”

"Hurry up and invite him in!" Liu Shi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said again.

"Meet the Captain!"

"How's it going? Where did Yuan Jun go? Liu Shi asked.

The official said: "Yuan Jun didn't think that the adults would resist at all, and he was not on guard at all. I guess I'll be here tomorrow morning. ”

"Good! How are the sons and evildoers going? ”

"They should arrive at their intended location tonight. There was nothing to resist from these strong men. I heard that there are rewards for winning the battle, and everyone is very positive. Gao Junhou has already commanded people near the county seat, just waiting for the order of the captain. ”

"Good! Military Heart is available. This time, let Yuan Shu know my stakes. Even if it is a prefectural order, he can do whatever he wants. Liu Shidao.

It was nearly noon, and the front came to report that Yuan Jun had arrived. Liu Shi strode out of the Du Wei Ya, took the reins handed by the guards, turned over on the horse, held the gun in his right hand, came to the front of the army, and said loudly: "Soldiers! Yuan Shu wants to come and receive Shang Luo! Do you agree? ”

"Disagree!" The thousands of soldiers lined up in a neat row said loudly.

"Good! We're going to meet them, and let's use our strength to tell them that we don't agree with him to accept it. We are Chang'an Yin, not Nanyang County. "Let's go.

"The person who came is Liu Shi, the commander of Shang County? A certain family was ordered by the general to go to the herdsman to set up a village and coerce Chang'an. In the future, our grain and grass will be provided by your Shangluo County. Why don't you get out of the way? When the visitor saw Liu Shi and the others coming, he said loudly.

Liu Shi sneered: "This is Shangluo, not Nanyang." Do you want to pass through here, is there a will of the Son of Heaven or the court? "If there is, please take it out, if not, come from there and give me back there."

The comer was furious: "A small county commander dares to be so arrogant, don't get out of the way quickly, otherwise the soldiers want to see it, then don't blame me Yuan someone." ”

"Really? Then I'm going to see the might of Lord Yuan. Liu Shi sneered.

The person who came was furious and looked to the left: "Chen Lan, go and let him see it." ”

was named, asked Chen Lan to answer loudly, and beat the horse out. Liu Shi hurried up to meet him, and Chen Lan saw that Liu Shi was in a hurry, and the gun was also fast, so he hurriedly raised his knife to meet him. Hearing a bang, Chen Lan's knife flew up. Then Liu Shi turned his gun and poked the barrel of the gun. "Bound!" When everyone saw it, this Chen Lan really fell down in response. The people who came were shocked, and hurriedly said loudly: "It's gone" After saying that, he turned his horse and left.

Liu Shi obviously didn't want to let these people go, and waved his spear, "Chase!" Leave them all! "Let's go. When Yuan Jun saw it, he ran faster. Form one to run in front and one to chase behind. The ground was littered with weapons. Some couldn't run, so they simply fell to the ground with their heads in their hands. After running a short distance, there was another group of people in front, it was the Dian Wei Department, the few who ran in the front saw it, and wanted to escape, who knew that Dian Wei was even more fierce, with a wave of the double halberd, a few fell to the ground, and the rest were shocked. Then a shout rang out: "Lay down your weapons, and lie on the ground for immortality." "In just half a day, nearly 7,000 of this Yuan army were killed, except for a few hundred people who jumped into the Danshui and drowned, all the rest were captured."

Liu Shi ordered people to single out all the people above the capital level in the Yuan army, and divided the rest of the Yuan army into three parts: under 20 years old, 20 to 40 years old; Those over forty. After separation, there were 1,000 people under the age of 20. There were 3,800 people between the ages of 20 and 40, and more than 2,000 people over the age of 40. Liu Shi directly incorporated these people under the age of 20 into the Youth Army. Those over the age of 40 are sent to Tuntian. More than 3,000 brave men were escorted to Wuguan and built a city wall under the supervision of the sergeants. Hundreds of officers were sent to repair the road, telling them that if they built the road honestly, they would be let go back to Nanyang in three months. After doing this, Liu Shi hurriedly repaired it and sent someone to Chang'an, roughly explained the matter here, and asked for support.

Ten days later, the court replied, specifically: It was Dong Table's reply. He was appointed as the general of Pingnan, recruited 5,000 people, strictly guarded the military pass, and was not allowed to let Yuan Shu enter Beijing. It just so happened that Liu Zhen was here. After reading the book and the edict, he immediately said: "Congratulations to Gongzi on his promotion to general!" He Xi Gongzi. ”

Liu Shi waved his hand and said: "This is just a false title, but with these 5,000 people, we don't have to pay taxes to the court anymore." At the same time, with these 5,000 people, we ourselves are more secure. This is something to celebrate. ”

"What is Childe going to do?" Liu Zhen asked.

Liu Shi thought for a while and said: "After the Wuguan is repaired, recruit one from the captured Yuan army, and the other from the county's brave and brave extraction, plus a thousand Wuguan Dao guard battalions from Dian Wei's department." After integrated training, I think I will become an elite soldier. ”

"What about Gao Shunbu?" Liu Zhen asked.

Liu Shi's eyes flashed: "All trained into a trap bravery." Let Cheng Shan recruit 1,000 brave men who are skilled in archery to form another bow and arrow battalion. Now these people, divided into three teams, take turns to shoot in the mountains. In addition, I found that the young man named Yan Rou who was accepted a few years ago was good. It was planned that he should form a light cavalry of 500 men, and that he would lead the team and train him strictly. Now the world is changing, and we must be guarded against. Once those families, heroes, and state and county governments have a large number of troops in their hands, it is not so simple to calm down. is the pro-government of the Son of Heaven, and some rights are not easy to take back! ”

Liu Zhenxin was overjoyed and said, "Childe also has an idea?" According to Childe, there are now nearly 9,000 soldiers, plus the county soldiers who are scattered everywhere and monitor the main roads. That's 10,000. ”

Liu Shi sighed: "The land of this county is still too small, what is the use of 10,000 people?" Yuan Shu alone heard that there were hundreds of thousands of troops, Yuan Shao was even more, and Cao Cao had developed rapidly in recent years, conquering millions of yellow turbans and becoming famous in a war. It is said that there are 80,000 "Qingzhou soldiers" selected from among them. If we hadn't been able to recruit 10,000 people if we hadn't been displaced by the war. Even if it is forcibly levied like Yuan Shu, it can't be raised.

It is reported that Yuan Shu just wanted to capture Jingzhou so that he could raise an army, and instructed Sun Jian to conquer Liu Jingzhou. It's just that this Liu Jingzhou is not a former official of the Yuan family, and he does not accept Yuan Shu's coercion, and the Jingzhou clan is also extremely disgusted by Yuan Shu's rampant conquest. That's why they actively resisted. Let Yuan Shu's conspiracy fail.

Even if we have 10,000 sergeants now, if it weren't for the fact that the displaced people who had increased earlier had reclaimed a lot of raw land, and some of the old Yellow Turban Army had been cultivating grain in the fields after they had been in good condition, how would it be enough for their children and the travels of the past few years? ”

"Childe! Your method is really good, through the manipulation of Tun Tian and Mr. Su. Now the grain stored by the Hou Mansion and Shang Yu is enough for 50,000 people to eat for a year. ”

Liu Shi looked in the direction of Chang'an again and said: "This court is unstable, and there are more wars in various parts of the Kanto region, God knows when this homeless people will stop." In addition, there are too many places in this land of merchants that rely on heaven to harvest, and once the year is bad, many harvest achievements will be reduced, or even eliminated. This storage is not enough for a year's relief. If there is nothing to eat, the people will rebel. It is also necessary to supervise the repair and consolidation of water conservancy and flood prevention and drought prevention. ”

Liu Zhendao: "Those families and heroes are not enthusiastic about repairing canals and embankments, and some people even oppose it. Because some of these weirs and canals will occupy a part of the fertile land and ditch land. Not repairing now will not affect them much, but if they do, it will cause some damage, and even divide their water flow in times of drought. ”

Liu Shi sneered: "These people hate us more than they like us. When we came, they paid more taxes, and they were heartbroken. Now that the Kanto region is in turmoil, Yuan Shu's power is strong, and some people secretly have eyebrows on Yuan Shu, when we don't know. If you don't realize it, when the time comes, I will give them to Yuan Shu. All rushed to Nanyang. ”

Liu Zhen exclaimed: "Really? ”

Liu Shidao: "What do you think Shi Jian has been doing in the past few years?" Maybe Yuan Shu's entry into Shang Yu this time will have the share of these people. What do you think of Liu Zhi? I want Liu Zhi to do Cangcao Shi and assist you. Let you have more time to take care of the affairs of the county, this Li Si has one point, that is, he is too influenced by the local family, and he dare not do some things. Nowadays, there are many people, and as long as you give a little food, you can find a lot of people.

Therefore, food is very important, and we must seize it. You can't rely on the weather to eat. You go to assist Li Si to do it, of course, you must not give up the daily martial arts training time, you must pay attention to this. In this troubled world, apart from food, only force is the most important. ”

After a pause, he said, "Let's go and see Chengren first, and then talk to a few of them." ”
