Jixian County, Zhang Bao's mansion. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhang Baozheng convened a group of civil and military confidants to discuss the matter.

Jia Xu said in a solemn tone: "My lord, we have been fighting for many years since the uprising, and finally gained a foothold in Youzhou, but our millions of soldiers are now less than 300,000, and the total loss of troops on various battlefields is as high as hundreds of thousands, and what is especially worrying is that the source of troops in Youzhou is almost exhausted, and there are almost no new recruits to recruit!" ”

Chen Qiao (due to the First Battle of Liaodong, he was appointed by Zhang Bao as a miscellaneous general. Disapplauded: "Sir, didn't the lord take back hundreds of thousands of young men from Jizhou?" How to say that there are no soldiers to be recruited? ”

Jia Xu shook his head and said: "General Chen Qiao doesn't know, although these hundreds of thousands of Jizhou young men have been taken back, but after all, they are all from Jizhou, and it is impossible to have a sense of identity with the lord before they completely settle down in Youzhou. ”

"Uh~~" Dian Wei scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "This is also true." ”

"It's a possibility." Zhang Bao said in a deep voice, "These hundreds of thousands of Jizhou young people are not of much use for the time being, you can let them be honest in Tuntian first." Many men have died in this war, and many widows will inevitably be left behind, so let these young and strong marry widows who have lost their husbands, and after a long time, they will slowly have a sense of identity with my Youzhou. ”

Jia Xu said: "The lord is wise. ”

Zhang Baodao: "Wenhe, how many soldiers are there in our army right now?" ”

Jia Xu said: "There are 10,000 Karasuma cavalry under General Xu Chu, and 2,000 heavy armored iron cavalry under the command of the lord, but one thousand of them are deep into the grassland under the leadership of Zhou Cang and General Guan Hai, in addition, there are still 50,000 soldiers and horses of General Bocai guarding Yuyang County, and 50,000 troops of General Guo are still stationed in Shanggu County, but they are pouring to defend and annex the state, as for the 180,000 Tuntian soldiers left in Youzhou, of which 50,000 are new soldiers, who have neither equipment nor training, and have to farm, I am afraid that they will not be able to go to the battlefield. ”

Zhang Bao frowned and said: "In other words, our army currently only has 11,000 cavalry and 280,000 infantry left!" 100,000 infantry to be stationed in Shanggu and Yuyang and other areas, and 100,000 to be stationed in fortresses in Youzhou, Zhoucang and Guanhai's 1,000 cavalry to suppress the grassland, now our army is really combatable and can be freely mobilized There are actually only 10,000 Karasuma cavalry, 1,000 iron cavalry, and 100,000 foot soldiers? Is it? ”

Jia Xu nodded silently.

Zhang Bao said in a deep voice: "In other words, our army must recuperate for now, otherwise once Dong Zhuo is defeated and retreats, the coalition army will go north, and it will be difficult for our army to resist." ”

Jia Xu nodded and said in a low voice: "In fact, even if there are enough mobile troops, our army currently does not have enough money and food to support a large-scale war!" The lord looted the money and grain back then, and after it was used to compensate the orphans of the fallen soldiers and resettle the people who migrated from Jizhou, there was not much left after various expenses. ”

"Oh, yes." Zhang Bao suddenly remembered something and asked Jia Xu, "At present, Youzhou is stable, and I am going to let all the people of Youzhou go to school, what does Wen He think?" ”

Jia Xu's expression lit up, he bowed deeply, and said in a condensed voice: "The lord is wise." ”

At the beginning, Jia Xu did not hesitate to surrender to Zhang Bao because of Zhang Bao's words, but now Zhang Bao has done what he says, and he has really started the enrollment of all the children of the poor family, which makes Jia Xu surprised and respected. At the end of the Han Dynasty, untouchables could only be untouchables, living with the fields all day long, or being a big-headed soldier, and the ones who could really learn knowledge were always wealthy families.

"This matter is settled first!" Zhang Bao waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Wenhe, where should our army go in the future?" ”

Jia Xu straightened his face and said solemnly: "Recuperate, wait and watch the war between Dong Zhuo and the Kwantung Coalition Army, and don't make a big move within a year!" ”

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

Tiger Prison is associated with the army camp and the Chinese army's big tent.

Invited by Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, they gathered together. The princes of the 14th Route of the Kwantung and their respective generals and strategists were arranged on both sides, and the alliance leader Yuan Shao was solemnly on the throne.

Yuan Shao got up and clenched his fists and said solemnly: "Princes, I and other princes from all walks of life gathered in one room to exterminate the national thief Dong Zhuo. If today's son is still suffering in the hands of Dong thieves, but we have no progress, every time I think about this, my heart is like a knife. ”

Saying this, Yuan Shao's burning eyes swept over the faces of the princes one by one, and said in a deep voice: "The country is in trouble, Shao implores the public not to abolish the public with personal gain." We should fight bravely and work together. ”

"The alliance leader is right."

Yuan Shu jumped out first and said, "Dong Zhuo's old thief design has caused us and other princes to have a gap in their hearts, which is really hateful. I thought that we should follow the words of the alliance leader and destroy Dong Zhuo as soon as possible. ”

Yuan Shu's voice fell, and Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Tao Qian, Han Fu and others frowned slightly. Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were at odds, everyone had already known about it, and now Yuan Shu uncharacteristically supported Yuan Shao, making them ask about the taste of conspiracy.

Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin stood up and said: "What the original and highway said is good. When we work together to suppress the thieves, how can we abolish the public privately? In the next talent, I am willing to be the vanguard of our army. ”

"Good!" Yuan Shao's eyes swept over Kong Ling's face, and said loudly, "Yuncheng is really the pillar of the country, and I also ask all the princes to work together to get the Son of Heaven out of danger as soon as possible." ”

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

In Youzhou, Zhang Bao feasted at the Jixian Mansion, Jia Xu, Guo Tu, Xi Zhicai, Guan Ning, Zhang Lie, Bing Yuan, Dian Wei, He Man, Xu Chu, Gongsun Zhan, Bao Chu, Cheng Yuanzhi, Gao Shun, Huang Long, Zhang Niujiao, and other civil and military generals gathered together, as well as Xu Ming, the head of the Xu family who was the first to attach to the Yellow Turban, and Liu Zheng, who was captured, also attended as a guest, of course, Liu Zheng was forced.

In addition to these people, such as Guo Dayao guarding Yuyang County, Bocai guarding Shanggu County, Zhou Cang and Guan Hai leading a thousand Yellow Turban Heavy Armored Iron Cavalry to continue to conquer the grassland, Hua Xin Shang under Dong Zhuo, etc., did not appear, and the rest of the people were basically there.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Youzhou has been pacified by our army, and the threat of the Hu people in the north has been basically swept away, and our army can be said to have a complete foothold in Youzhou." Zhang Bao said this, his eyes swept over everyone's faces, and he said in a deep voice, "In view of the current stability of Youzhou Quartet. And our army has been overwhelmed by the perennial campaign, and General Ben and Wen He have formulated a strategy for recuperation, but how to recuperate this year, General Ben still wants to hear everyone's opinions. ”

"My lord, I have something to say below."

Zhang Bao's voice fell, and Zhang Lie stood up first.

Zhang Baosu said: "Tianyi, but it doesn't hurt to say. ”

Zhang Lie arched his hand and said in a condensed voice: "The population under the rule of the lord has gradually increased, and it has exceeded three million so far!" The pyramid system customized by the lord is only suitable for the grassland, and now although our army in Youzhou is pacified, but there are people everywhere in turmoil, Lie thinks that the top priority is to formulate a complete set of legal system as soon as possible, and select capable people to serve as county guards, county magistrates, and then appoint a cadre of subordinate officials to carry out local government affairs, only in this way can we ensure prosperity and stability under the rule of the lord. ”

"Hmm." Zhang Bao nodded, "Tianyi continued. ”

Zhang Lie said: "The affairs of state and county officials can be suspended, but the top priority is to formulate a complete set of legal systems. ”

Zhang Baodao: "Since Tianyi said this, he must have a plan in his heart, why don't you say it and listen to it?" ”

"Lie does have some ideas." Zhang Lie hugged his fists and said, "Since the lord wants to hear it, then he will speak bluntly." ”

Zhang Bao said: "But it doesn't hurt to talk about it. ”

Zhang Lie said: "There are three original factions of the Legalists, Shang Yang emphasizes the law, prudence to the heavy situation, Shen uncertain heavy technique, and Han Feizi absorbs the strengths of the three schools and gathers the greatest, thinking that the three complement each other and are indispensable, and Lie Shen thinks so. The law, the law to govern the people, the powerful, the sovereign should have absolute power, the sorcerer, the strategy of implementing the criminal law. (To be continued.) )
