In the last few days, Li Su had nothing to do in Taoyuan Fort, so he walked around, communicated feelings with various officers, and exchanged martial arts. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Fought with Li Qiang several times, whether it was foot combat or cavalry combat, he was defeated within ten times, even if he was proud of his archery, he was not defeated by Li Qiang, and he believed that Li Qiang's words were true, and he was invincible; When he was fighting with Lu Bu at the beginning, he could fight to fifty rounds every time, and when he fought with Li Qiang, he was even defeated by Shihe, and the gap was very obvious.

Fighting against Ma Gui can only be regarded as a draw, but Ma Gui's war horse is superior to Li Su, and his strength is greater than Li Su's, which causes Li Su to be unconvinced.

Xu Lin was overjoyed to be married, was full of spirit, played extraordinarily, and won one game against Li Su with the advantage of horses, and the rest of the battle ended in a tie after 100 rounds.

After that, Li Su realized that Taoyuan Fort was strong at the same time, but also recognized his position in the power, Li Qiang and Ma Gui were true, there were no less than five or six people who could defeat him, and there were many people who drew the battle, which made his arrogance sharply reduced.

Ma Gui saw that Gao Shun had some leisure time, so he went to report the situation.

"Meng Zhen is newly married, why not accompany the bride at home?"

"Lord, the world is becoming less and less peaceful, and there are more and more displaced people from all over the country, and they heard that Loufu County will be exempt from tax in a few years, and they can also reclaim wasteland, so they flocked here, what can they do?"

"What about the other counties?"

"My lord, the total population of Shanggu County and Dai County did not exceed 100,000, although the lord increased the number of immigrants there several times, but there was still a lot of wasteland for the resettlement of displaced people, and a large amount of wasteland was vacated for them to cultivate after the Wuhuan people were relocated, and there was no phenomenon of overcrowding; Yanmen County has resettled a large number of displaced people in Heping City, on the north and south banks of the water control, where the land is fertile and suitable for habitation; The most difficult thing is that we have no place to settle in Loufu County. ”

Gao Shun thought to himself, with Ma Gui's principle of doing things, he must have a way to deal with it, so he asked, "Do you have any suggestions?" ”

"My lord, there are two ways, either to relocate people to other counties in Yanmen County, or to use the new forts in the west to resettle the displaced people, so that there is another advantage, they do not have to pay taxes for a period of time after that, which is equal to our hidden population, only for our profit."

Gao Shun asked rhetorically: "In that case, the number of garrisons must be increased, and the infantry of each fort is obviously unable to defend." ”

"The lord, the lord doesn't have to worry, he only needs to add another Sima garrison in the side pass, and he will be safe, and he can even work with Gonghuan to recover the three counties of Wucheng, Luoxian and Tongguo in Dingxiang County."

"Hehe, those three counties are now blank areas, Wuhuan and Xianbei are not occupied, so it is easy to recover, but difficult to defend, and now our goal is Xianbei in the central region, not in the west, and it is not appropriate to startle the snake."

Ma Gui thought for a while and then persuaded: "My lord, there is another advantage to recovering these counties, that is, it is convenient to accept the Han people stranded in Hexi, as well as the Qiang, Wuhuan and Xiongnu people who are well sinicized, which will have great benefits for strengthening our strength and weaken the strength of the alien races in Hexi." ”

Gao Shun thought about it for a while and felt that it made sense, so he sent someone to find Li Qiang to negotiate together.

After listening to Ma Gui's narration, Li Qiang said: "Lord, this is very easy to do, just occupy Jiling County, in this way, no matter the western forts or the three counties of Dingxiang County, they can be easily defended." ”

A word woke up the dreamer, and Li Qiang's words made Gao Shun and Ma Gui suddenly feel a lot more relaxed.

Gao Shun asked, "Who can take on the important task of recovering Jiling?" ”

Ma Guidao: "Lord, it is none other than Xue Yin, he turned out to be the governor of Yunzhong County, and he is responsible for recovering it, which is justifiable." ”

Li Qiang said: "Haha, this is up to the lord to make an idea, if it is made public, Xu Lin, Xu Fu, Li Su and others will all fight." ”

Gao Shun looked at the map in front of him, and after thinking about it for a while, he said: "Xue Yin is the eastern lieutenant of Yunzhong County, leading the cavalry of his headquarters to recover Wujin County; Xu Lin was the southern lieutenant of Yunzhong County, and led his troops and horses to recover Jiling County; Xu Fu was the military Sima and led the Liangqu cavalry to Qiangyin County to be stationed under the jurisdiction of the people of Lu; Transfer an infantry unit to the jurisdiction of Xu Lin to defend Jiling County. ”

In this way, the three counties of Jibao in the west and Dingxiang County will be able to settle a large number of displaced people, and become his hidden population, which will be of great benefit to strengthening his strength.

Li Qiang said: "My lord, in this case, the strength of the Tian military division will be greatly reduced, which is not conducive to attacking Xianbei in the central part of the country." ”

Ma Gui suggested: "The arrangement of the lord is very good, so that the pressure on the western Xianbei from the east and the south at the same time will not dare them to attack; As for Tian Junshi, he only needs to send Li Su there. ”

Gao Shun thought to himself, Tian Feng has Yan Liang, Zhang Meng, Ge Hu and others under him, and then he sends Li Su to clean up the central Xianbei, besides, Li Su is an outsider as his guard, there are many things that are inconvenient to deal with, so it is better to arrange him down; So he said: "Okay, temporarily appoint Li Su as the cavalry army and go to Tian Feng to take office; The logistical supply and wartime support of Wujin County and Jiling County were handled by Wen Chou; Each fort in the west sent a middle-level military general and a middle-level civilian official to garrison, which was under the jurisdiction of Meng Zhen, who was in charge of the people's livelihood and military affairs respectively, and widely accepted people from Hexi, from which excellent cavalry and infantry could be selected. ”

"Yes, my lord!" Ma Gui immediately responded.

Gao Shun also said: "The accepted people of Hexi and the displaced people will no longer be provided with food rations from now on, they must serve in the army or participate in labor to support their families, for example, now the construction of roads requires a large amount of labor, just to provide them with job opportunities." ”

"Yes, my lord!"

The next day, the order was issued, and the happiest person was Xu Lin, who could finally lead an army alone, and it was to recover the lost land in the clouds, his hometown; Li Su was also very happy, as soon as he arrived, he was able to lead the Wutun cavalry, which was Gao Shun's attention to him, with his martial arts, he would definitely be able to make more military exploits in the future and get the opportunity to improve rapidly, which was much better than nesting in Lu Bu.

Originally, Xu Fu wanted to be stationed in Jiling County with Xu Lin, but was vetoed by Gao Shun.

So the three of them set off on the same day, headed for Ningcheng, and brought Gao Shun's orders; He was accompanied by 10 middle-level military generals and 5 middle-level civil officials, who went to Tian Feng's office to wait for appointment.

Tian Feng felt that such an arrangement seriously dispersed his strength, but he was able to recover his homeland, and it was Gao Shun's order, although he was dissatisfied, he still fully supported it.

After thinking about it carefully, he felt that Gao Shun had a deep meaning, when the central Xianbei and the eastern Xianbei were in tension and small-scale civil strife, they could not continue to exert external forces, otherwise it was likely that they would abandon their previous suspicions and unite with the outside world. And take advantage of this time to exert pressure on the western Xianbei, so that they will not be at peace; Gao Shun really made a good move.

When Xue Yin received the order, tears of excitement welled up in his eyes, he knew that he was not outstanding among the many generals of the lord, but he was appointed as the eastern lieutenant of Yunzhong County, and let him be responsible for recovering his homeland, this is the lord's trust in him, and outsiders can't feel his excitement.

Gao Shun also sent five middle-level civil officials, five middle-level military generals, and ten junior civil and military officials to Dingxiang County.

Wen Chou was very supportive of Gao Shun's order, and if so, his Dingxiang County Taishou would be worthy of his name, and Dingxiang County was larger than before, adding Jiling County, Wujin County and Wuzhou County on the basis of the original five counties.

Ma Gui also began to be busy, and several forts in the west were called forts, but in fact they were county-level establishments, arranging garrisons of troops and officials, and actively accepting displaced people; And once again expand the army, and carry out vigorous infrastructure construction.

The construction of roads and bridges, the construction of military camps, and other projects have given the displaced people a job to support their families, and more hooligans have flocked to them.

Gao Shun was extremely satisfied with his adjustment, and he only had to wait for the results of the battle.

Subsequently, he led Li Qiang and Yitun senior cavalry to Luoyang.
