After the battle, Jiang Ming and other generals gathered together to cheer for the victory. After this time, Gu Shan has successfully gained a foothold in this rebel army, not only because of his identity, but also because of his performance this time.

Gu Shan believed that after this battle, he would be able to insert the five hundred soldiers he brought into the Jieyi Army, reorganize the whole army, and open up a new front in the rear of this Qi country.

There was laughter outside, but in the back hall of the county ya, Jiang Ming, Gu Shan and others gathered together, and they did not get carried away because of the celebration banquet, which is also the difference between being the main general and the soldier of one party.

"In this battle, we completely annihilated the enemy's army, of which more than 2,600 enemies were killed and more than 300 were captured. More than 800 bows and arrows were captured, and we needed to equip them ourselves. There are nearly 3,000 standard broadswords, more than 20 war horses, and more than 10 pairs of high-grade armor, which is also the main harvest of this war. Wu Qingyu and other generals reported the data they summarized one by one.

Gu Shan said in a deep voice: "Our righteous army is opposed to the Qi army, so we naturally need a name. Leader Jiang rescued the refugees, and the righteousness was higher than the sky. Therefore, after consulting with the Chief, I have decided to change the name of our army to the Jieyi Army from now on, which is also a warning to you that righteousness comes first, and that you must not forget the purpose of our rebellion against the government. ”

"In addition, the Jieyi Army has been under the control of Zhao State, so you are all officers, captains and generals with orthodox names under the rule of Zhao State, I hope that the Jieyi Army can abide by military regulations and military laws, and don't be negligent. The Privy Council ordered that the general of the Jieyi Army should be Jiang Ming, and the deputy general would be himself. All the treatment of the whole army will be the same as that of other town troops in Zhao State. ”

Jiang Ming continued: "General Gu has already made it very clear, I don't want anything wrong with you again. The Jieyi Army, from now on, is officially established, and hopes to work together with you to help the refugees who have suffered from natural and man-made disasters. ”

"You are also very clear that the Qi army has begun to attack us, tonight's action is just a forward of the Qi army, although we have won, but, don't get carried away, the matter is far from over."

"In addition, the grain transported from the large island of Liuqiu in the southeast sea has begun to arrive at Qingluokou, and now, we are organizing manpower to transport it to the three counties overnight. Therefore, the food problem that we are most worried about is no longer an unsolvable problem. ”

"As long as we can defeat the Luo Family's army that has descended to Qi, then we will be able to recover and develop for a period of time. The armor and equipment that will be transported for us have also begun to depart from Xuzhou in the north and will arrive here in the near future. ”

After listening to Jiang Ming's narration, the faces of the four partial generals and the three civil officials couldn't help but smile. If it is all of them, although they occupy the land of the three counties, they are all worried, whether it is the internal food problem or the external Qi army's attack. But now with the support of Zhao Guo, they are still no longer afraid.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that they are not far from Xuzhou, the ruling place of Zhao in the north. Otherwise, if they were really alone, even if they had the support of Zhao Guo, they would not let go of their hearts. After all, the Zhao army would not be able to reach here on a large scale at all, unless they occupied a wider area, and the Zhao army was also ready for a full-scale war with the Qi army.

"Don't be too happy, the support from the rear can't be endless, don't forget, the Qi army also has naval warships. Although their warships were far inferior to those of the Zhao army's navy, there was no problem in blocking the sea ships transporting supplies. In addition, the northern army is in a confrontation with the princes of the Midwest and the South, and it will not be possible to fully support us in the short term. Therefore, to gain a foothold in Yangzhou, we mainly rely on ourselves. Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, Jiang Ming said coldly. Although they have foreign aid and rear support, Jiang Ming also wants to see them put all their hopes on rear support.

Gu Shan continued: "Even if this battle is won, we have not reached the time to rest. The Luo family army has been surrendered, and in addition, in the two counties of Jurong and Nanhui, the Luo family army and the garrison of Songjiang Prefecture have formed a coalition army, which will arrive here tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. And Luo Hu is just their striker. ”

"Therefore, we must first send more scouts to probe the situation in the surrounding fifty miles, and we must not let the Qi army come close to us and we are unprepared. Secondly, we should organize people to transport grain from Qingluokou tonight, and we must continue, and it is best to transport all the grain needed by the city into the city by tomorrow morning. ”

"The last item is the most important, in today's battle, I will find that there are quite a few soldiers under the command of our righteous army, but many of them are not even recruits. Need, in addition to equipping the 5,000 soldiers in the city with standard weapons, they must also strengthen training, and the 200 soldiers I sent into the city are responsible for this. The situation in the other two counties was the same here, and the guards who came with the general were in charge of training. ”

In addition, the city will continue to recruit and train new soldiers. For us today, strong force is the foundation of everything. Now we have been transporting food and some armor and equipment by sea ships for the past few days, but it will definitely not work for a long time, and the navy of the Qi army is not stupid. Therefore, along with the support materials, there are also some craftsmen who will help us build various armor and equipment. ”

"In the three counties under our jurisdiction, some of the big clans have migrated or fled, but many remain. Although they are not hostile to us, we cannot underestimate them. These squires not only dominate the power of a place, but also control more or less private affairs. If they are bribed by the Qi army, or if they help the Qi army when we are weak, then we will be in a desperate situation. ”

"Therefore, starting tomorrow, all the areas under the jurisdiction of the Righteous Army will be directly under the jurisdiction of our righteous army, similar to the inspection department of the towns and villages in the north, which will be responsible for the jurisdiction of the towns and villages and all matters of public security. In this regard, the civil officials of the three counties are responsible. It must be arranged between each township and township, and when the time comes, there will be a cooperation between the righteous soldiers and soldiers. In this way, it can be regarded as finding a place for those wounded soldiers to settle down, and they will not be unable to live because of their injuries. ”

"Zhao Guo's Township Inspection Department System and Wounded Soldier Resettlement Law!" Everyone in the room looked at each other in unison. However, several partial generals were happy, after all, in this way, it was also a solution to the pension and resettlement of wounded soldiers.

"In addition, among the great families of these gentry, their private soldiers will be confiscated from now on, or they will be unified into the army for training. We need to eliminate all these restless factors. In addition, these private soldiers, if trained, can quickly become qualified soldiers, and they can also bring us a lot of weapons. ”

Jiang Ming said worriedly: "In this way, will it anger these squires?" "Jiang Ming is also a big landowner, although there were no private soldiers in the past, but there are still private guards, and they are not only equipped with swords, guns, swords, halberds, but also equipped with forbidden weapons such as strong bows and crossbows. Don't forget, these are troubled times, and it is no longer a shameful thing for rich people to hide forbidden weapons.

Gu Shan said in a deep voice: "Anger them? What is our identity, we are refugees, we are rebels and rebels in the eyes of the Qi army, and our behavior here has become hostile to them. These squires are reluctant to leave, and we will not be hostile to them, but we must follow the rules we have set. They are obedient, and we will naturally not be hostile to them, nor will we attack them. If we control this, we can't protect them? Could it be that they have private soldiers to protect themselves from us? Speaking of which, for them, these private soldiers are only a reliance on oppression of the people, not a basis for protecting themselves from the confrontation with the government. So, they have to accept our rules. We are a rebel army, but also a chaotic army, and if they don't listen to reason, then we can only use force. What do you think? ”

Fang Han, who was born in poverty and was also appointed by Jiang Ming as the temporary county commander of Huating, nodded directly and said: "I think it is feasible, such a system has been implemented in the northern Zhao State for many years. Things have proved that this approach can make the local area more stable, but the situation in Hanzhong tells us that the squire clan only cares about their own interests, and they can't see anything else. ”

Wu Qingyu, Lin Changkong and other generals also agreed with what Gu Shan said. First, they are all ordinary people, and they don't have a good impression of those squires. Second, they are all full of yearning for Zhao Jun, and naturally know that this is the system of Zhao State, and it has its own reason, otherwise, it will not be used by King Zhao. Third, considering his current identity, he does not want these uncontrolled forces to exist in the jurisdiction.

Although Jiang Ming was a little worried, he also knew the pros and cons, and then agreed to Gu Shan's suggestion. Of course, he also knew that everything in the land of Zhao was like this, and he couldn't help but be on par with Zhao Guo.

After talking about military affairs, Gu Shan talked about people's livelihood and government affairs again.

"At present, there are quite a lot of refugees in the three counties under our jurisdiction, and if we rely on our pension and do not give them a way out, it will naturally not work. Therefore, replying to local people's livelihood government affairs also needs to be put on the agenda. However, these are all things that the civil officials of the three counties need to worry about, but we need to make arrangements quickly, otherwise, even if there is more food, it will be eaten up by these refugees, even our righteous army, will also be eaten. Gu Shan frowned and said, he was born in the martial arts academy and learned the art of the battlefield, and he really didn't know about the local people's livelihood and government affairs. What he is talking about now is also the task assigned to him by the above. After all, if the local governance is not good, even if it occupies this place, it will not last long, let alone attract the hearts of the people and expand outward.

Listening to Gu Shan's words, Fang Han's eyes suddenly rounded, and he said in a deep voice: "What does General Gu mean is that we have to measure the fields according to the Northern Zhao Kingdom, and then divide them equally?" ”

As soon as Fang Han's words came out, the faces of everyone who was doing it changed. This is not a trivial matter, although Gu Shan said before, they did not hesitate to agree to collect the private soldiers of the squire's family. But to measure and divide the fields here is not a trivial matter for them. These Yangzhou mansions are full of squires, and if they do this, they will definitely make all the big clans in Yangzhou regard them as enemies. After all, they are not Zhao Guo, and they don't have that much ability to confront everyone.

Gu Shan naturally knew that this was impossible, shook his head and said: "Of course not, unless the northern army is killed here, otherwise, if we do this, without the Qi army, it is the private soldiers of the powerful families in all parts of Yangzhou who can fly back to annihilation." ”

"However, since we want to accept the displaced people and be hostile to the Qi government, we can't help but think about them. The typhoon has passed, and countless fields have been destroyed in various places. If there is no owner, it is naturally best to arrange for the displaced people to farm. If there is a lord, the destruction of these fields is not a good thing for them. If the other party is willing to sell, we will buy it in the name of the government and distribute it to our soldiers and soldiers, so that their families can have land to plant. In this way, if the soldiers want to keep their family business, they must join us against the attack of the Qi army. ”

"In the land of the three counties, in addition to some of the squires left, there are also a large number of squires with a bad reputation, who fled from this place after the turmoil in the east of Yangzhou, and the fields they left behind are no longer a few. These fields must be confiscated by the government and redistributed to the people. The people must be able to become self-reliant as soon as possible and find a way to restore the land we occupy. Fang County Order, these things are all you have to do, so you still need to make arrangements early and make corresponding preparations. Once you've completely defeated the Qi army's attacking team, let's start implementing it immediately. ”

The king of Hanzhong originally wanted to pull the Zhao army in the north into the land of Hanzhong, join the battle for Hanzhong, let the Shu army fight against the Zhao army, and take advantage of the last advantage for himself to reoccupy the land of Hanzhong. Of course, I hope that I can force Zhao Jun back by doing this, and I will block the northern checkpoint in the mortal world.

It's a pity that the Zhao army in the north doesn't seem to have the slightest interest in the land of Hanzhong, and there is no intention of the army going south at the fixed point. On the contrary to the Zhao army, the Shu army in the south attacked the land of Hanzhong more fiercely, and the retreat of the Han army also made the great clans in the southern part of Hanzhong occupied by the Shu army join the Shu army.

What he wanted was not achieved, but what he didn't want to see became more and more violent, which made Hanzhong Wang Situ Fei's heart burst into flames. At this time of disaster relief, some merchants came to the door and wanted to trade armor and equipment and even war horses with them. This made Situ Fei, who was worried about Hanzhong in his heart, suddenly overjoyed, and immediately welcomed this big businessman who usually disdains him into the mansion.

But before he began to say a few words to the businessman, Situ Fei immediately understood that this so-called businessman was actually Zhao Jun's person. The weapons were all materials captured by the Zhao army from their own hands in the past.

Zhao Jun did this, Situ Fei naturally understood that Zhao Jun needed to continue to fight with the Shu army and Hanzhong, so as to continue to consume strength and let Zhao Jun sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. Thinking about it, Situ Fei was angry, he originally wanted Zhao Jun and Shu Jun to fight, and he took advantage of the fisherman. Unexpectedly, it was used by Zhao Jun. However, he had no choice in his heart, after all, it was he who needed the land of Hanzhong, and Hanzhong was originally his own.

Originally, he wanted to buy a batch of grain from Zhao Jun, after all, food was too important for a prince. Even he Situ Fei didn't dare to guarantee that the Han army's food was enough. After all, the longer the war lasts, the greater the loss of food, grass, materials, and armor.

But he had just proposed to Zhao Jun that natural disasters had occurred in the places under the jurisdiction of both Zhao Jun and Qi Jun, and Zhao Jun also took advantage of this to refuse. Situ Fei naturally knew that it was impossible to buy food from the other party. But now that the other party has encountered a natural disaster, he is naturally secretly happy in his heart.

The Han army and the Zhao army reached an agreement, and a large number of armor and equipment were transported south from Eastern Yongzhou to the north of Jingzhou, and then to Hanzhong. In addition, there are also a small number of people who go south to Hanzhong directly from the southwest of Chang'an.

Situ Fei, who had obtained a large number of armor and equipment, immediately gathered the private soldiers of the big clans in the land he occupied, changed their clothes, reorganized them into the army, and began to launch a counterattack against the Shu army. Of course, Situ Fei did this not only to increase his strength, but also to eliminate the hidden dangers that these big clans might bring to him. After all, many big clans in the south surrendered directly to the Shu army.

The Han army suddenly turned over from the decline and suddenly launched a fierce counterattack, which naturally surprised the Shu army. In particular, there were many cavalry in the Han army, which surprised the Shu army. The cavalry's powerful deterrent power against the infantry was naturally known to the Shu army. Especially after the cavalry team of the Han army raided the Shu army several times and won a big victory, it made the Shu army feel worried. When the current Shu army wants to attack a certain place under the jurisdiction of the Han army, it must not only worry about the defenders counterattacking, but also worry about whether a cavalry will be killed behind its flanks.

Not only that, but the cavalry of the Han army also relied on their familiarity with Hanzhong to raid the baggage team of the Shu army many times. The Shu army's grain collection teams and sentinels between towns, towns, prefectures and counties also became the targets of the Han cavalry. Although the Shu army also has war horses and cavalry, it is not an establishment at all, because the number of war horses in their hands is far from enough. Although the current Shu army inherited the power of the Yongjun, since the Yongjun lost Liangzhou and Mergezhou, they no longer have a place to produce horses. Therefore, the number of war horses in the hands of the Shu army is extremely limited.

Because the Han army was unexpected, it launched a fierce counterattack against the Shu army, and for a while, the Shu army and the Han army actually maintained a balance with each other, and the defeated Han army regained its fighting spirit again, and won a slight victory. In particular, a counterattack by the Han army almost recaptured Hanzhong City.
