Shannan Province of the country of silk is actually divided into east and west, the host road is mainly the Hanjiang River Plain, where the transportation is convenient, the economy is developed, the population is dense, it is an important strategic economic belt of the country of silk, the rule of the country of silk here is very stable, and the officials privately evaluate that being able to be an official here is one of the fattest shortcomings. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info and Shannan West Road is very different, it is located in the southwest of the silk country, although there is such a rich place as Bashu Hanzhong, but it also includes more remote mountainous areas. The climate here is changeable, the terrain is complex, and the Huayi is mixed, and it has always been a difficult place to govern. To put it bluntly, the rule of the Silk Country in these mountainous areas is only the control of some strategic places and arable land, and the remaining huge space has to rely on the leaders of the local ethnic groups to control, so Shannan Xidao can be said to be a mixed blessing, if the officials are sealed to a rich place like Bashu Hanzhong, they will naturally be happy, if they are unfortunately located in a remote and poor country, they will only consider themselves unlucky.

Wang Hanxin's position as the head of the march of Shannan Road is actually just the head of the march of Shannan West Road, because Shannan East Road does not need him to intervene at the root of Heqing Haiyan, and the biggest problem in Shannan West Road, it is the area controlled by those remote clan leaders that needs his intervention the most. The northward likes and dislikes of these people will be directly related to the rule of the Silk Country over this region, and may even threaten the security of the economically developed areas, and even worse, if there is any chaos here, it will be possible to directly threaten the flank security of Chang'an, plus Tubo has always made great efforts in this area, so the burden on Wang Hanxin's shoulders is not easy at all, and in his hands is a mess with intricate relationships, and it is really not a simple matter to clean up this area.

Wang Hanxin served as the head of the march of Shannan Road and also served as the commander of Dingzhou, these two areas together built a strategic barrier in the southwest of Chang'an, and Wang Hanxin had quelled the Qiang rebellion in Dingzhou, so many people speculated that Wang Hanxin would arrange the march of the head of the march in Dingzhou instead of Shannan, but they were wrong, Wang Hanxin took office and went straight to the place where the problem of the entire Shannan West Road was the biggest - Maozhou.

Maozhou is located at the westernmost end of Shannan West Road, and it is a lonely existence in this mountainous area surrounded by mountains. The terrain here is complicated, the transportation is inconvenient, and the garrison of the Silk Country here is only 1,200 people, but the area he wants to control is ridiculously large. To run all over the territory of Maozhou, you had to trek through the mountains on horseback for two or three months. Moreover, there are almost no people to find in this area, its main population is various tribes, these tribes rely on the favorable terrain to build their own cities, and the clansmen of each tribe automatically form an army, they accumulate grass and grain, build weapons, compete with other tribes for limited living space, and also ensure their position in front of the ruler of Silk Country. Not to mention that the city of Maozhou could not collect taxes, even the food in the mouth of each soldier had to be transported from the Bashu area, or exchanged with the local tribes with daily necessities. As a result, the entire city of Maozhou was almost a fortress, not only to protect against the threat of its powerful neighbor to the west, Tibet, but also from these rival tribes.

Wang Hanxin wandered around the Maozhou area for more than three months, traveled almost every inch of the area, met with all the tribal leaders, and then he resolutely made a decision, that is, to arrange the administrative office of the marching governor in Maozhou City!

Of course, Wang Hanxin has a reason for making such an arrangement. He was keenly aware of the strategic position of Maozhou City, and the original intention of the Silk Kingdom to set up this city, that is, to use this place as a starting point to directly threaten the flank of Feiying Fort, the most important strategic stronghold in eastern Tibet. Only by starting from here can it be possible to cut off the foreign aid of the Flying Eagle Fort without the Tibetan army noticing. But none of Maozhou's successors noticed this, they were blinded by the complex ethnic relations in the region, and they fought for it for the rest of their lives, ignoring the value of the city itself.

As a result, Wang Hanxin immediately issued his first order after taking office, that is, to expand the scale of Maozhou City, at least so that Maozhou City can accommodate more than 10,000 soldiers, and can store food for 50,000 soldiers to march for more than four months.

This is no small matter. You must know that the transportation around Maozhou City is not developed, if you want to meet Wang Hanxin's requirements, it is necessary to expand the road from Bashu to Maozhou City, and it is also necessary to make a thorough adjustment to the ratio of troops in the entire Shannan West Road, which also involves the need to increase the number of soldiers in this area. It can be said that it will affect the whole body, and the entire Shannan Province will be busy because of this.

Wang Hanxin was extremely dissatisfied with the garrison of Maozhou City. The army here did not have the combat qualities of the armies he had led in the past, and these soldiers were cowardly and timid, and would only hide behind the walls and eat all day long, doing nothing.

For this reason, Wang Hanxin gathered all the garrisons in the city, and then beheaded the supreme military commander and twelve uncles of Maozhou City in front of everyone. Then Wang Hanxin stepped on these heads and shouted to these frightened soldiers: "I killed these people today, not for the sake of prestige, but because they committed the crime of dereliction of duty!" The court appointed them to guard one side so that they could take you soldiers to guard the borders of the court! But these people didn't train you well, and they didn't give you the confidence and courage that a soldier should have! You didn't come to defend the imperial court, not to hide inside the city walls and wait for the enemy to come and hack you to death one by one! You're here to chop my enemies into pieces one by one! From this day forward, you must abandon everything you have done in the past and train well and become a real soldier! General Ben will also take the past and lead you to fight for the honor you deserve! If anyone still wants to be a bad seed, then I will cut off his head and rank next to these people! ”

In the face of Wang Hanxin's threat, all the soldiers were silent. Half a year later, the 1,200 soldiers stationed in Maozhou City became the most elite troops in the entire Shannan Province and the backbone of Wang Hanxin's position as the head of the Shannan Road March.

In this process, the reason why Wang Hanxin was able to quickly grasp the military heart of this army was because on the fifth day after he executed thirteen commanders, an accident occurred, and this accident happened to be an opportunity for him to control this army.
