Hearing this, Fan Xin was silent. He had never thought about it! Since following Guo Yi, he has done everything he can! Guo Yi's trust in him is also beyond doubt. But it is clear that if they want to have greater ambitions, they must have a clearer division of labor, a wider range of heroes, and let them perform their own duties.

Knowing and employing people is a compulsory course for every lord. If you don't pass this course, you won't have the last laugh!

After a long time, Fan Xin sighed: "I think that my strategy is not bad, and I also know the way of soldiers. However, the best thing for me is the way of doing business. If you want to compare it with the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty, it is probably Xiao Guoxiang. ”

This is also the answer that Guo Yi observed. Fan Xin has some strategy, but he is always a little bit hot, and he is not as good as Guo Yi. can also lead troops to fight, but that day was beaten by the Qiang people in a mess, not as good as Guo Yi. Only with this way of governing the country and securing the people, he can mobilize the resources of Wudu in such a short period of time and quickly restore the social productive forces, which Guo Yi is ashamed of.

After analysis, Fan Xin commanded the army, but it was just a county. With Fan Xin's strategy, it is about the land of one state. If you use Fan Xin to govern the country, you can dominate the party!

"How many soldiers do we have now?"

Fan Xindao: "A lot of Qiang war horses have been captured, and now there are 800 cavalry. There are also many villagers in the counties, with 3,000 infantry. It's just that the equipment is a little worse, and there is a lack of training, and it will take some time to adjust. ”

It's already October now, and if it drags on for winter, it will be difficult to fight in Xiliang.

Guo Yi said: "Leave the matter of training to me, and you go to purchase military supplies, and before November, you must be able to form a strong army." ”

"No." Fan Xin agreed and asked, "Lord, which place should we take first?" ”

Guo Yi thought for a moment and replied, "Within this month, we should still take the Qiang Road first and choke the throat of the Qiang invasion." First, it can stabilize Wudu County, and second, it can train soldiers. After that, they marched west to Lintao County and Yan County to cut off the rebels' retreat. Go north to take West County, and the soldiers will come to Guo County. Then he ordered Anding County and Beidi County to lead their armies south, and asked the imperial court to send troops from Sili to the west, and attack from all directions, and they will definitely exterminate the rebels of the kingdom in Hanyang County! ”

"Lord's clever plan!" Fan Xin thought about it, this method is indeed much more reliable than his own. At that moment, Mao Sui recommended himself: "The minister is willing to lead the troops to obtain the Qiang Road for the Lord and build a checkpoint so that the Qiang people are not allowed to enter!" ”

"Hmm......" Guo Yi hesitated. Although Fan Xin swept away the Qiang people in Wudu County, presumably the beheading operation of Yan Hua's trio helped a lot. This time, of course, Yan Hua's trio had to follow themselves, and Fan Xin would lead the troops...... The scene of him being beaten by the Qiang people that day is still vivid.

"Lord!" Fan Xin knew that this was his critical moment, and he had to win Guo Yi's trust. Although according to Guo Yi's meaning today, he is to be put in charge of internal affairs. But if you can't even command two or three thousand people well, how can you control the rear? You must know that the government and county soldiers alone are a large military force, and they must have the ability to dispatch and suppress possible rebellions.

At that moment, he turned over and dismounted, half-knelt on the ground, and said: "Lord, please lead the troops to recover Qiangdao County!" ”

"Hmm. That's it! Seeing that he asked for this, and that there was no one else available to him at the moment, he chose to believe him. Many people are not geniuses, but as long as they are given the opportunity to exercise, they will naturally achieve something!

Return to the government hall and quickly settle all affairs. Order the county commanders and county magistrates to do a good job in reassuring the people. According to Guo Yi's ideas on urban construction, Fan Xin edited a booklet and distributed it to the county magistrates, asking them to adapt measures to local conditions according to local conditions.

Guo Yi wrote several silk letters, respectively to stabilize the county guards of Dingjun and Beidi County, and asked for a joint army. Then he went to the court of Luoyang, asking for some resources, sending troops to help, and reporting his achievements. He also wrote a well-spoken letter of persuasion and sent it to the rebels of the kingdom.

After doing these things, Guo Yi really realized Fan Xin's business ability. At the same time that the counties were recovered, wartime laws were promulgated at the same time, and trade was quickly restored, and the market was revitalized.

Guo Yiping and Fan Xin chatted about various ways of governing the country, what wartime policies, what tax system, what labor system, etc., but he was all on paper, not much better than the "keyboard warriors" and "stomach" of later generations. But after Fan Xin heard this, he quickly transformed it in combination with reality and quickly established an effective productive force.

On the fifth day, Fan Xin set off with 800 infantry and 200 archers. Guo Yi did not accompany the army, and Yan Hua's trio did not go with him. This is the battle of Fan Xin's righteous name! Only by returning triumphantly, Guo Yi will give him a bigger task!

While waiting for the feedback of news from all sides, he trained in Xihe Township. It is necessary to train these recruits into a strong army that they want to be forbidden by orders. The foundation of the previous three hundred cavalry showed an effect at this time.

With them as a role model, training recruits is much simpler. In addition, Guo Yi asked the county lieutenants from all over the country to send people to study and observe, and popularize these most basic training methods, so that after recruiting new recruits next time, they can save a lot of training time.

The silk letter was sent to Anding County and Beidi County, and after the two Taishou understood the situation, they immediately replied that they agreed to jointly attack and destroy the rebels.

The silk book written to the imperial court was also delivered on time. In the West Garden, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the Ten Standing Attendants, the Great General He Jin, and the officials of Shangshutai discussed the matter together.

In just two months, Guo Yi recovered Wudu County and began to work on the recovery of Hanyang County, which was beyond everyone's expectations. You must know that Guo Yi's only reliance when he set off was an official position given by the imperial court, just a scepter. This is no longer the level of "national scholars", this is the level of princes and overlords.

Everyone had their own thoughts, and from time to time they watched the reactions of others with their eyes. Unconsciously, a plate of agarwood had burned out, and the palace maid quickly replaced it with a new one, and stepped aside to continue to warm the feet of Emperor Han Ling.

Emperor Han Ling glanced at everyone and asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, why don't you speak?" ”

Shangshu Lu Zhi said happily: "Your Majesty, if it is according to Guo Yi's plan, then the recovery of Liangzhou is just around the corner." Please send troops to assist Lord Guo and exterminate the rebels! ”

Emperor Han Ling nodded and asked, "Which general is available?" ”

"Huangfu Song."

"Dong Zhuo."

He Jin and Yuan Kui glanced at each other, and both sides were a little surprised by the candidate for the other party's inscription.

He Jin snorted coldly and said resolutely: "Huangfu Song is powerful in the world, and now he happens to be leading troops in Chang'an, which is enough to take on this heavy responsibility!" ”

"That's what the general said." Yuan Kui nodded again and again, but he didn't raise any objections, and he acted like a good gentleman.

"No!" Zhang Rang opened his mouth to object, and sneered: "Huangfu Song has been defeated repeatedly, and it was only last year that the emperor took back the seal of his left cavalry general and cut 6,000 households. The general forgot about it today? ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Zhong continued to say: "Your Majesty, Huangfu Song has been supporting the army for a long time, and the land of Chang'an and Sanqin cannot stay for a long time. It is better to take his military power and let him go back to be the pastor of Jizhou. ”

"It's not appropriate!" Zhang Rang continued to fan the flames and said: "After Huangfu Song took office as the pastor of Jizhou, he was exempted from paying taxes for one year, which was a move to buy people's hearts. The emperor cut his food, and he must hold a grudge. Once Jizhou is returned, I am afraid that I will have to weigh the system in the south and dominate one side! ”

"Well......" Emperor Han Ling was embarrassed, and he was at a loss for a while, not knowing what to do.
