"Since General Lee has no objection, then let's act accordingly. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Yes, the last will obey."

Li Cheng saluted and got up, his face was no longer joyful or sad, and then returned to the empty seat prepared for himself and sat down.

Even if he is not able to change the environment he is in for the time being, he is definitely not cowardly enough to change himself immediately, to cater to something, and then he is self-absorbed like Ah Q, as if he knows some great current affairs.

Actually, just change some methods, and that's enough.

"Today, the generals of the county guards are summoned for one thing."

Murong Ling sat upright, spoke loudly, and his posture was decent, with a dominant demeanor. attracted all the town guards and generals to lean forward one after another to show respect.

"Over the years, Goguryeo has repeatedly raised troops to invade the territory, but the defense of Liaodong is useless, making it like entering a no-man's land. Although some soldiers fought together and were finally expelled, His Majesty's anger is self-evident. ”

These opening words, you will just not hear the Lord. Don't say that Liaodong guards, it is the land of Liaodong, and it has already fallen for a long time. If the court really has a heart, why did it go to the New Year? Not to mention that nowadays, Liaodong County is an official and does not want to go over; Even if it is a subject country of Liaodong, there is still a vacant position in the town guard of Fang County.

In all fairness, if it weren't for being a Han Chinese, the temptation to turn over once was too great, and none of the people here would be willing to go to this kind of place.

Rulers have always been embarrassed, and they have all been overly pretended, and they have dared to be cheeky and convincing in their vain words. Everyone pretends to be stupid, that's it.

"I have been instructed by His Majesty to lead the military and political power of Liaodong to secure the eastern territory of the imperial court. However, there is a soft and fierce army in the north; There are people in the west, cruel and murderous; There is a tuoba in the south, and the tiger is eyeing it. Therefore, the elite of the court should not be moved lightly; Warriors of the nation, do not leave lightly...... Pullout! ”

With Murong Ling's soft shout, Ba Lietong led two personal soldiers and quickly hung a large sheepskin map behind Murong Ling.

"Fortunately, His Majesty agreed to the general's performance, and allowed him to recruit Han soldiers in Liaodong for his own use. There are also people recruited from various counties, and they are also on their way one after another. And under the intention of the general, when in the land of Liaodong, 50,000 troops should be recruited in order to live up to His Majesty's expectations, what do you think? ”

Do you really have the right to "think"?

"The general's intentions are good." Everyone bowed their hands in unison.

Murong Ling nodded with satisfaction, and then spoke: "The so-called soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first, this truth, Ben Jiang also knows. Liaodong is bitter and barren, and it is really difficult to support 50,000 people......"

It's not just difficult, it's impossible!

Li Cheng sneered secretly.

The faces of the other generals were also very reluctant.

After the occupation of Changli City, Li Cheng and Huang Yueying sorted out the important household registration books in the city: the entire Liaodong subject country, the total population in the case is only 100,000!

Of course, this does not include the private slaves hidden by the wealthy clans, and the fugitives, rioters, and homeless people who are not registered in the household register, as well as those who have become Wubao villages.

The first thing Yu Ban did when he arrived in the county was to break the dock wall, blackmail the wealthy, and recruit displaced people to release the population.

And even if all these possible population numbers are added up, it is impossible for a Liaodong vassal country to exceed 200,000 at the top of the sky!

200,000 people, 50,000 soldiers? Li Cheng dared to say that the production capacity of the entire Liaodong vassal state would soon collapse. Unless Murong Ling has the ability to transform the production attributes of the entire Liaodong vassal state into the kind of red fanatical storm of public ownership in later generations - but this is obviously impossible.

"Therefore, Ben decided to go north to Wuxian City and include this land in Liaodong County into the recruitment area."

Murong Ling took a wooden pole from Ba Lietong's hand, got up and pointed to a large area of land above the subject country of Liaodong in the map.

The shape of the demarcation of the subject country of Liaodong is a bit similar to the "H" of the English letter, and the depression below is Liaodong Bay; The depression above is the land of Wuxian County, Liaodong County.

The land of eastern Liaodong is vast and sparsely populated, and there are not many county seats. The territory under the jurisdiction of one Wuxian County is almost about to catch up with two-thirds of the size of the entire Liaodong vassal state.

"Destroy all the Wubao villages in Wuxian County! All the people moved into the counties and towns of Liaodong to enrich the population. At the same time, the general of Tongyuan, who guarded the dangerous county, Yu Ban, also issued an order to go east out of Liaoqi County and follow this routine. ”

When Li Cheng heard this, he couldn't help but praise secretly.

He and Yu Ban have already made an agreement, and he is allowed to deal with certain matters. Including not coming to participate this time, including this general order.

In Murong Ling's view, this is Yu Ban's surrender to Murong Ling in order to get rid of Li Cheng's influence; But in reality, this is nothing more than a means to take advantage of the ban and obtain the name of plundering and raising troops in an open and honest manner.

After all, training in secret, being too constrained, and being accidentally denounced is not good. Under the rule of high pressure, it is normal to have a few people with grudges.

Moreover, Yu Ban also saw very clearly that if there was no Murong Ling, the subject state of Liaodong would be equivalent to a semi-autonomous state, and there would be no strong core to restrain all localities. However, the appearance of Murong Ling means that it is necessary to carry out a new, more gentle and tactful layout around him.

So since that's the case......

Can you count the same thing once?

An idea inexorably sprouted, formed, and perfected in Li Cheng's mind.

"This is a thorough understanding of all of you, and next, there will be specific military affairs issued separately. But ......"

Murong Ling's eyes suddenly turned cold.

"Ugly words are ahead, the policy of Liaodong is related to my Dayan Guoben, if you dare to be a little slack and fail to reach the general's order, then you will blame the general for being ruthless!"

Chen Ke, Lin Sanshi, and the three leading generals who originally belonged to Murong Bao all got up in panic and didn't dare to say anything.

Only Li Cheng got up slowly, pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth and arched his hand: "The general's plan is to set the cornerstone of Liaodong for Dayan, and the general will admire it." However, the southeast Fang County has no one to guard it so far, which is really a shortcoming. Otherwise, from the east of Fang County, the three counties of Xinchang, Anshi, and Wenxian in Liaodong County can all follow the example of the general and become the general's business. ”

Liaodong is a vassal country, and the important towns are all on the west side; There are only two counties on the east side, the northeast is dangerous and the southeast is Fang County.

The counties on the west side are not far from each other, and they are closely connected, which can be regarded as prosperous and safe. The two counties on the east side are lonely, and naturally no one cares. At the beginning, he was in danger of guarding the forbidden town, which was also what he expressed to Murong Ling, which made Murong Ling appreciate it for a long time.

When it came to business, Murong Ling also put down his shelves a little, frowning and groaning.

Closeness with one hand and intimidation with the other are all means of control. But at the end of the day, the means are all about the best results.

"The matter of Fang County, the general also considered it, but there was no candidate, I don't know what General Li suggested."

"General Yu, the secretary of Fuli Town, under the command of Xiahou Ba, there is a Qu general, named Guan Ping, brave and strategic, but he is up to this post."

"Huh?"

Murong Ling's eyes were blazing, but Li Cheng only bowed respectfully.

"Is this man really up to the task?"

In Murong Ling's eyes, perhaps this was Li Cheng's own splitting, or rather, a means of revenge for Xiahou Ba who was about to stand on his own feet - he was cut off an arm, and he also had to cut off an arm of Xiahou Ba.

From the perspective of Murong Ling's subordinate balance, this is something he is happy to see. But what he wants to know more is whether Guan Ping can really have such an ability.

Compared with balancing the Han people, how to start their own business in Liaodong is the most important thing.

Although Murong Ling changed his arrogant command to the Han generals in front of him after learning from the pain, his behavior today is also very similar to the relationship between his superiors and subordinates in the same clan. But in his bones, after all, that kind of contempt and self-restraint can't be changed, and he doesn't believe that these men will pose even the slightest threat to him.

Li Cheng understands this mentality too well, and he also knows too well how to use this mentality.

"The general has no other candidates, so why not give it a try? The last general didn't dare to say everything, but the last general believed that this person's performance would always make the general seventy percent satisfied! ”
