Shangdang County, on the outskirts of the eldest son's city. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
An army of 3,000 built a barracks on a wilderness, and this time the soldiers were not training, but were clearing the land.
Originally, after Liu Biao stipulated one training a day, the physical strength of the soldiers was greatly consumed because of training, and Liu Biao changed from the original two meals a day to three meals a day.
As a result, more food is consumed.
A few days ago, Xun You came to Liu and said: "Your Majesty, originally incorporated into the party, there were 180,000 stone grain and grass, enough for the 50,000 army for two years. But Your Majesty opened a porridge shed again, so that we could only last for a year until the autumn harvest of the people. ā
Xun You's face was a little haggard and said: "Your Majesty has exempted the people from taxes for another year, that is to say, by March next year, our grain and grass will be exhausted, and we will not be replenished!" It's better for Your Majesty to withdraw one training a day, so that it may survive until next year's autumn harvest! ā
"No, one training a day can never be removed, the soldiers are just getting a little better, and their combat effectiveness is steadily increasing. This army is the foundation of me, and it must be the elite of the elite, not only to train every day, but also to eat enough! "Liu Bian's iron is categorical.
"But in this way, there is not enough food at all, is it possible that Your Majesty has some solution?" Xun You's eyes lit up.
"There are two solutions! First, take the West River, and the grain and grass of the two counties should be able to supply these 30,000 soldiers! ā
Xun You frowned and said: "But in this way, if Your Majesty is like the party again, collecting the hearts of the people and exempting taxes, you will still be unable to make ends meet in the coming year, and you will not be able to expand the number of soldiers!" ā
It is true that after Liu Wei got into the party, he widely practiced benevolent government, but in this way, it was a great burden on food and property. Not only do you have no income in a year, but you have to spend a lot.
If the same policy is used, even if the resources of the two counties are obtained, it will not be enough. However, if we do not apply benevolent government, it will be difficult to win the hearts of the people.
"That's the second way, Tuntian!" Liu Wei thought for a while.
"Tuntian?" Xun You's eyes lit up.
"Since the Yellow Turban Uprising, the people have been displaced, and the state has suffered even more disasters, and there have been years of raiding by foreign races. As a result, many heavens and earth have been wasted, so why don't we make use of these lands? Spring ploughing is imminent, and the 30,000 army is ordered to train in the morning and reclaim the famine in the afternoon, so it should be able to catch up with spring ploughing, right? At the time of the autumn harvest, the grain obtained may be enough to supply the needs of the army? Liu Wei said with a smile.
"Wonderful! As soon as Your Majesty's method comes out, the officers and men of our army will not have to worry about the lack of food. There is no delay in training in Tuntian, there are enough soldiers, the soldiers are full, they are trained harder, and the army is more elite! That's a lot to count! Xun You couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised.
The Tuntian system has appeared in the period of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, but Cao Cao is still quoted on a large scale, and the system of each era is different.
According to the situation of the party, Liu Wei came up with this tuntian system, but it is the most suitable now!
"Divide the soldiers into teams of 3,000 people, distribute them all over the party, reclaim wasteland, prepare for spring ploughing, how much can be cultivated! And the training must not be left behind, you must lead by example, and you must give the soldiers enough to eat, not to be a blessing, if I find that someone dares to disobey the order, do not blame me for being ruthless under the sword! Liu Wei summoned all the generals in the army and ordered.
Among them are Lu Zhi, Li Xianzhong, Yang Zaixing, Yang Yansi, Prince Wufu, Chongji and others, as well as a group of newly selected military marquis in the army, Sima.
"Your Majesty, we will do a good job in Tuntian affairs and train soldiers!" A group of generals surrendered their orders.
As soon as the tuntian system came out, Lu Zhi, Li Xianzhong and others took the lead, with 3,000 people in each team, rushing to various counties to reclaim wasteland. Welcome to spring ploughing.
had to train and work, and the soldiers suddenly complained bitterly, but fortunately, the generals were told by Liu Wei. They all took the lead in the work, and although the soldiers had hardships, the generals did it themselves, so what do we have to say?
Not to mention that after the labor, there is enough food to eat. Suddenly, the soldiers had no complaints.
On this day, Shi A came to the Tuntian area outside Shangdang City to find Liu Bian, which was personally managed by Liu Bian, and Yang Zaixing helped train the soldiers.
"Your Majesty, almost all the princes in the world have responded, Your Majesty, and agree to attack Dong Zhuo in the spring of March next year!" Shi Ah informed Liu Wei of the news he received.
After hearing this, Liu Wei clapped his hands happily and said: "Okay, with the support of the princes of the world, my throne is unshakable, the party has also calmed down, everything is on the right track, and you can carry out the next plan!" Shi, summon Xun You to see me immediately! ā
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Shi Ah turned around and left, looking for Xun You.
But Liu Wei went to his tent, Liu Wei sat in front of the case, quickly wrote two edicts, stamped the big seal, and waited for Xun You's arrival.
After a short time, Xun You came to the camp tent and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live, long live, I don't know what is important for Your Majesty to summon Weichen!" ā
Liu Wei handed over the edict and said: "Just now there was news that all the princes of the world have openly supported Yu Zhen. With their support, and the deterrence of the 30,000 army of Shangdang, Xihe and Shangjun are almost ready to go! ā
"In this way, the families of the two counties will not dare to act rashly, and it is not difficult to control these two counties!" Xun You's eyes lit up.
"Yes, Wang Yue is in Shangjun, Cao Cao is in Xihe, and the news of the two counties is almost the same, it's time to start. These two edicts, one is your Shangjun Taishou Edict, and the other is Mengde's Xihe Taishou Edict. ā
"Now that the land has been cultivated, some places have begun to work secretly, and the manpower is not too tight. So you take 2,000 men, go to Xihe first, give the edict to Mengde, leave 1,000 men for him, and then you go to Shangjun. Two prongs on both sides to win the two counties! Liu Wei ordered.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Xun You's eyes were full of joy, although His Majesty often discussed things with him, but this time, he was given a heavy responsibility, what a lot of trust this is!
The family, the first thing to think about is the interests of the family, and if you can make a profit, you can do everything. But if you can't do anything, you will sacrifice some to protect the interests of the family.
Just like now, the princes of the world have openly supported Liu Bian, and Liu Bian has an army of 30,000 in his hand, which is close at hand. At this time, it was not impossible for Liu Wei to send people to absorb these two counties.
Although Dong Zhuo can be turned to for help, it is still unknown whether he will send troops. In addition, looking at the situation, Dong Zhuo is probably about to perish. With the shrewdness of the family, he will not provoke Dong Zhuo and set himself on fire.
And Liu Bian's side is not easy to provoke, if he doesn't respect the newcomer's Taishou, it may also lead to Liu Bian's attack. Under this result, the family has only one choice, respect Liu Bian, respect the newcomer Taishou.
However, respect is one thing, control is another, whether you can get the power of the second county, you have to be too shou.
Therefore, Liu Wei sent Xun Yu and Dong Zhuo, two extremely shrewd figures, to fight with the family.
"And tell Cao Mengde that I have only one request, no matter what method you use, the power of the two counties must be firmly in my hands!" Liu Wei said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" Xun You said with a grim expression.
