Chapter 260: Lao Zhao's Talent and Thoughts
Bailigui's decision was expected by me, and after last night's in-depth conversation, I should have made a conclusion, but I didn't say it, and Bailigui still didn't dare to take that step after all. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the morning, he personally came to my military tent, expressed his heart to me, and did not blame me for anything else, but also expressed deep helplessness and apology, and put me in the position of a close friend, without the arrogance that the nobles of the royal capital should have.
Baili Gui said: "I have sent a messenger to ask the general for instructions, and there will be a reply tomorrow." ”
I sighed: "The White Turban Army's move is very good, and it has retreated to our sore spot. ”
It was not only the sore spot between me and Bailigui, but also Su Chong's sore spot, when he learned that the cavalry led by Bailigui did not catch up with the White Turban Army, and let the Zhongtian King Tujiao escape into the Lingzhinan Mountain Range, his heart immediately cooled.
After several deliberations and discussions, the only way to do this was to send an envoy to the Kingdom of the Elephant Kingdom to negotiate, and on the other hand, he would inform the royal capital in writing of the matter of sending an envoy to the Kingdom of the Divine Elephant to negotiate, and ask for permission.
The envoys appointed by Su Chong passed through the central part of Nanqu County, entered the Divine Elephant Kingdom from Nanqu County, and after entering the Divine Elephant Kingdom, they arrived at the capital of the Divine Elephant Kingdom, and it took at least five days for the carriage to go all the way without stopping, and it was five days later to bring back the news.
During these days, the sergeants were idle, but I didn't have any leisure, the territory that Wang Shi had subdued had already begun to be handed over, and Su Chong did not make it difficult in this matter, and he was happy.
The four counties of Qiyang County, Shanxian County, Gray Han County, and Wu County are now in the three-regardless zone, and the original county commanders and other officials were either slaughtered or cooked by the White Turban Army, and no one can be found alive, so they can only send troops to take over for the time being.
In each county, I sent a banner of 240 troops, and a general banner went to take over, first to stabilize all the order of law and order in the county government, and then I had to send another civilian official to slowly rectify it, and these military masters would definitely not be competent.
Before parting, I deliberately advised: "You four general banners are all capable people selected from the army, and this general hopes that you will go to the local county capital and quickly stabilize the situation, which is the purpose of my sending you." ”
I paused for a moment and continued: "Before leaving, I would like to make a few requests: first, register the displaced people in this county and send them to the government office of Donghai County; Second, all those who murder, arson, rob and steal are arrested and imprisoned, pending the verdict of the law; Third, it is a requirement for yourself, you go to the local county government to be the local parent official, you must set an example, do not bully others, do nonsense, if anyone dares to violate the order, this general will not be spared, on the last day of every month, must write a letter to report the local affairs. ”
"Yes, follow the General's orders." The four chief flags and the four deputy chief flags bowed in unison.
The eight general flags led the order, logically speaking, I should be happy, the White Turban Army has been unable to turn up the big waves, and I am also a real power figure in the entire Donghai County, calling for wind and rain in Donghai County, but it is also in Donghai County, I am considered the oldest when I leave Donghai County, not to mention that Donghai County is in ruins now, and I don't know what it can recover.
I couldn't help but sigh.
Lao looked at it in his eyes and asked curiously, "Why is the general sighing?" ”
I took it seriously and looked at the work, and I stopped talking.
Lao Zhao guessed: "Is the general sighing for the devastation of Donghai County?" ”
I smiled helplessly: "Lao Zhongyong said that you are only eight high, and your wisdom is superb, it is really not false, you are right, Donghai County ......"
"Although Donghai County is in ruins, it is just broken and then established, and there is a lot to be done." Lao Zhao said with confidence.
"Oh," I wondered, "where did you get your faith?" ”
Lao Zhao sorted out his thoughts and said slowly: "The civilians of Donghai County have always been lazy and negative, not enterprising, and the waterways and tidal flats are vertical and horizontal, which is not conducive to the growth of crops, and has always been a barren county in the Dragon Kingdom, and has always been attacked by whale shark pirates, and this White Turban Army turmoil is just a wake-up call, the general can use this turmoil to warn the civilians of Donghai County, change their mental outlook, make them forge ahead, be positive, and build a better Donghai County." ”
I have been focusing on how to defeat the White Turban Army, and suddenly faced with the miscellaneous matters of rectifying Donghai County, I couldn't help but be upset. ”
Lao Zhao asked strangely: "The general can turn the waterway tidal flats into advantages, and the rice tidal flats in Donghai County are not very dense with fish, not to mention that the fish trade business cannot be sent far away." ”
I said with a smile on my face: "Lao Zhao, don't worry, since I can say that I can make it an advantage, I am naturally able to, I am worried that Donghai County will be ruined by the White Turban Army this time, I am afraid that the remaining civilians are not enough for the first two or three tenths, and there is a huge territory but no one cultivates it." ”
Lao Zhao said thoughtfully: "The general can issue a decree to reduce taxes and provide some convenience to attract poor slaves from other counties to Donghai County. ”
I nodded, it was because modern people on the earth were familiar with ancient TV dramas and novels that they were familiar with describing ancient times, so they knew that they were the right medicine and full of wisdom, but Lao Zhao, a person in the world, was insightful and wise, and I couldn't help but not admire.
I said, "The combat effectiveness of Donghai County is the most important problem, and now the total number of troops is only 10,000, and 10,000 troops are insignificant at all. ”
Lao Zhao said mysteriously: "The general and the whole people are soldiers, regardless of men, women and children? ”
I was taken aback and said, "All the people are soldiers!" "I couldn't help but pat my forehead, I was really smart but was mistaken by cleverness, I couldn't think of a solution to such a simple problem, as long as there were civilians in Donghai County, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to train an army, as long as I had time, I couldn't use all kinds of ancient tactical and political means on the earth.
I patted Lao Zhao's shoulder appreciatively and praised: "Lao Zhao, after you have educated the captives in Yuguan, carefully and carefully draft the documents of the things we talked about tonight, and make a charter out, I will talk to Lord Juncheng, and I will recommend you to Lord Juncheng to show your talents." ”
Lao Zhao said happily: "Thank you for the general's promotion, but I am still willing to follow the general." ”
"Now that the battle is almost over, what's the point of you following me, Donghai County is the stage." I thought that Lao Zhao would get carried away, so I really considered whether to recommend him.
Lao Zhao said: "I don't follow mediocrity, I am willing to attach myself to the Lord." (To be continued.) )
