There are many different races in Yongzhou, and it is chaotic, which is obviously Dong Zhuo's desire to throw off the burden and put a heavy burden on Gao Shun's back.

Everyone saw it, but this was Dong Zhuo's upright conspiracy, and Gao Shun had to take it.

Now the question is how to rectify Yongzhou, how to mobilize the army at such a long distance? How many troops are mobilized? How to ensure logistics materials?

Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia were upset, and Gao Shun was not in a good mood.

Yongzhou occupies a huge territory, Gao Shun can't bear to give up, and occupying this place can form an encirclement and threat to Liangzhou; The fly in the ointment is that it is too remote, even if the supplies are sufficient, it is difficult to transport, and there are Huns in Xia County (northern Beidi County, Ningxia Plain); sent natural people, Gao Shun was afraid that it would be difficult to control, so he sent synthetic people, and now there is a shortage of manpower; It made him very embarrassed.

There is also the choice of road, originally the road from Xiayang City to Xiaoguan through Anding County has been repaired, this is the original Gao Shun plan to occupy the logistics supply channel of the four counties of Hexi, now it is given to Dong Zhuo, if you continue to supply supplies from this road, it is relatively simple, but it is easy to be controlled by Dong Zhuo, in case he cuts off the supply, the four counties of Hexi will be very dangerous.

So Gao Shun first asked Li Qiang and Ma Gui to negotiate.

Li Qiang has no opinion.

Ma Gui's suggestion was that he go to Yongzhou to serve as a state pastor, and suggested that the road from Fushi to Fuping County should be built through Haoyan County; Topographically, the road is basically along the river, which is relatively easy to repair and can ensure a water source.

The ancient city of Fuping County is located on the east bank of the Yellow River, which can be bounded by the Yellow River, the west of the Yellow River is used as the pasture of the Xiongnu Zuoxian Wang, and the east of the Yellow River is used as the territory of Beidi County, and the ancient city of Fuping County is recovered as a material transit base.

Gao Shun has no better way for the time being, he can only adopt the proposal of building roads and recovering the ancient city of Fuping County, but he can't let Ma Gui go to Yongzhou, where he is very needed and can't leave.

As for the selection of Yongzhou pastor, Ma Gui suggested that Fu Zhu and Lu Yi should go, and the trial match would take over the current position of Fu Zhu.

The transferred troops can take away 30,000 cavalry, and they can be recruited after arriving in Yongzhou, and only need to send more officers to it; The more than 50,000 cavalry under his current jurisdiction are all from Liangzhou and are more suitable for the climate of Yongzhou.

Gao Shun then summoned Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia and others to negotiate.

Although Xi Zhicai was in a bad mood, he had already thought about this issue in detail.

Gao Shun first recounted the issues he discussed with Li Qiang and Ma Gui.

Xi Zhicai agreed with the road construction plan; He knew that Gao Shun was rich and wealthy, and he was not short of money and grain, if he built a passage road, he could greatly strengthen his rule over Yongzhou, and if he didn't repair it now, he would repair it later, in this case, if he built the road to Yongzhou before the Central Plains War, to maintain the stability of the frontier, and this could also meet Gao Shun's plan to occupy the Quartet and encircle the Central Plains.

For the recovery of the ancient city of Fuping County, Xi Zhicai was very supportive, Fuping County is surrounded by alluvial plains, where troops and civilians can be placed to prevent the Xiongnu Zuoxian Wang from threatening the safety of the communication line.

As for the location of the road, Xi Zhicai suggested that from the Yanchi in the west of Haoyan County, it should go directly to Zhujuan County (later Zhongning County), avoiding Fuping County, so that although the difficulty of building the road increases, the distance is shorter, and it is safer to stay away from the Xiongnu pastures.

Gao Shun nodded and agreed, this plan was better than the method he and Ma Gui and the others, and it was more thoughtful.

For the development of Yongzhou, he is not in a hurry, he only needs to be stationed in Wuwei County first, control Wusheling Ridge, and cut off the threat of the Qianghu rebels in the direction of Jincheng in Liangzhou to the four counties of Hexi.

The Wusheh (shāo) ridge is located in the central part of Tianzhu Tibetan Autonomous County, Wuwei City, Gansu Province, and belongs to the southeast end of the Lenglong Ridge, the northern branch of the Qilian Mountains. It is the natural boundary between the Longzhong Plateau and the Hexi Corridor. It is also the dividing line for the transition from semi-arid to arid zones, and the westernmost point where the East Asian monsoon arrives. It is about 17 kilometers long from east to west, about 10 kilometers wide from north to south, the elevation of the main peak is 3562 meters, the average annual temperature is -2.2 °C, the chronicle has the description of "flying snow in midsummer, cold air and bones" on the Wusheling Mountains, it is an important pass leading to Chang'an in the Hexi Corridor on the ancient Silk Road.

After taking control of Wuwei County, it will slowly infiltrate the three western counties, so that it will not violate the orders of the imperial court, and there is no need to make major adjustments to the current deployment.

Based on the above reasons, Xi Zhicai suggested that Cheng Wu should be the pastor of Liangzhou, and each county should be stationed as a taishou and a lieutenant to assist Cheng Wu in his work.

Through such a long period of contact, Xi Zhicai has a more comprehensive understanding of Cheng Wu's ability, and believes that Cheng Wu is definitely qualified for the position of Yongzhou pastor.

Gao Shun thought about it for a while, with Cheng Li, Cheng Wu was easier to control, and he was appointed as the pastor of Yongzhou, so he regarded it as training him, so he adopted Xi Zhicai's suggestion and sent Cheng Wu to Yongzhou.

Xi Zhicai was very dissatisfied with the transfer of 30,000 cavalry, and in this case, it would be impossible to maintain absolute suppression of Dong Zhuo's troops in the Guanzhong area. He suggested: "My lord, if you transfer 10,000 cavalry from the Xiongnu Shan Yu and Zuo Xian Wang's department, the cavalry of Zuo Xian Wang's department will follow Cheng Zhoumu to Yongzhou, and the 10,000 cavalry of the Xiongnu Shan Yu will be under the jurisdiction of Guangnian Hou, and they can be stationed in Gaonu and Fushi and other places; In this case, Cheng Zhoumu only took away 10,000 cavalry without a home from the Fu army division, so that it would be convenient for them to settle down in Yongzhou; It was also easier to replenish 10,000 cavalry. ”

Gao Shun felt that 10,000 cavalry was too small, at least 20,000 cavalry should be gathered and recruited on the spot after arriving in Yongzhou; Everyone accepted this compromise.

In the end, it was decided to transfer 15,000 cavalry from Fu Zhi and 5,000 single Liangzhou cavalry from Tian Feng and others.

According to Xi Zhicai's opinion, for the administrative division, the four counties of Hexi and the two subject states remain unchanged; The territory of part of Beidi County and Anding County, as well as the territory east of the Yellow River in Wuwei County, were merged into Anbei County, and the county was located in Zhujuan County.

Located on the south bank of the Yellow River, it is a narrow alluvial plain of the Yellow River from east to west, connecting Tongxin County and Sanshui County to the south. Occupying this place can cut off the connection between the Qiang and the Xiongnu, and it is convenient to reach the county of Wuwei County to the west.

This site was carefully chosen by Xi Zhicai, however, the county has been abandoned for a long time, and it is still a pastoral area of the Qiang people, so the Qiang people must be expelled and built well in order to give full play to its great military value.

In this way, Yongzhou has five counties and two subject states.

Based on the above reasons, Xi Zhicai suggested that the lieutenants of each county should allocate 2,000 cavalry first; Cheng Wu personally controlled 10,000 cavalry and 10,000 Xiongnu cavalry, and as for the strength of the two subject states, he could only stabilize Wuwei County, Zhangye County, and Jiuquan County before recruiting from the local area.

Regarding the arrangements for officers such as General Zhonglang, Sima of the Other Division, and Sima of the Army, Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia have always suggested that young generals be selected as a training for them, and even if the battle situation in Yongzhou is unfavorable, it will not affect the overall situation of the Central Plains.

Gao Shun adopted this suggestion and sent Zhang Liao as the lieutenant general, and Gao Ran as his deputy to assist the state pastor Chengwu in managing the army.

As for the tactical arrangement, it was carried out gradually, first establishing Anbei County, then recovering and taking over Wuwei County, and gradually taking over other counties after stabilization.

Xi Zhicai thought about it so carefully and comprehensively. Gao Shun was very happy and adopted all of Xi Zhicai's suggestions, and Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia and Cheng Wu were all responsible for the dispatch and operation of this matter.

The matter in Yongzhou was dealt with, but Xi Zhicai felt that he had been calculated by Dong Zhuo, and he still had a fire in his heart, so he decided to impose a small punishment on Dong Zhuo and teach him a profound lesson to avoid luck in the future.
