I didn't come back from work at noon today, and 2 more was delivered

Everyone sat down, and Tian Fengyu reported: "Lord, I thought that Geng Zhi was a foregone conclusion when he saw that the party was lost, and he had no heart to fight and was powerless. ”

Wen Yuan nodded and said: "What the party has gained for me is all your merits, and you will be rewarded for coming to Japan!" ”

Everyone thanked in unison, and Tian Feng presented the account book of Shangdang County again, and Wen Yuan opened it and remembered it carefully in his heart.

Shangdang a county is the second largest county in the state, the eldest son of the county, under the jurisdiction of thirteen counties, there are more than 53,000 households, more than 230,000 people, Shangdang is located in the west of the Taihang Mountains, the terrain is high, the southwest is Wangwu, Zhongtiao two mountains, and the boundary of Henan Province today; To the west is the Taiyue Mountains; To the north are mountains such as Wuyun Mountain and Bafu Mountains. The Shangdang area is high and dangerous, it has been a strategic place since ancient times, the land is barren, and in terms of the area of the field, Shangdang County is almost twice that of Julu, but the population is only half of that of Julu County, which shows that Shangdang is vast and sparsely populated.

However, even so, Shangdang is still the second largest county in Bingzhou after Jinyang, and the rest of the counties such as Yanmen, Dingxiang, and Xihe have a population far less than Shangdang!

With such a large piece of land, Wenyuan is naturally ready to operate well, just like when he first arrives in Xiaquyang, everything has to be done all over again, first of all, it is natural to organize military households, reclaim land, and lay a foundation here.

Now under Wen Yuan's command, although there are already 1,000 soldiers in the state, but half of them are newly joined auxiliaries, or the old and weak who have not yet been eliminated, and there are not even 5,000 people who are really capable of becoming qualified soldiers, and it is obviously far from enough to hold a huge Shangdang County with this amount of troops, not to mention that Wen Yuan, the nearly 10,000 giant deer army, does not intend to stay here for a long time, after all, Jizhou in the east, there is the foundation of his real dominance!

Therefore, the next step is naturally to recruit young and strong people, integrate them into military households, and enrich the party's garrison.

Wen Yuan's initial plan was to recruit a total of 25,000 soldiers in Shangdang, including 15,000 garrison auxiliaries and 10,000 soldiers.

The benefits of joining the military household are there, naturally there is no worry that no one will come to recruit, recruiting more than 2,000 soldiers in the eldest son city in one day has set a good example for the whole county, just recruiting so many sergeants at once, Wen Yuan will have to bear more heavy food pressure, fortunately, after laying down the party, Wen Yuan seized more than 100,000 yuan of grain and grass, plus Wen Yuan's surplus from last year's bumper harvest, Wen Yuan can barely support 56 or 70,000 people to eat enough.

In addition, if the recruited military households are allowed to open up the wasteland or exempt the military households' original self-cultivated land from taxes, they will be able to collect more than 600,000 yuan of grain in the second year, and as long as they persist in the most difficult first year, Shangdang County will not only be self-sufficient, but also have a surplus grain supply.

Just as he was talking about the issue of grain and grass, the grain transport officer suddenly entered the tent covered in blood, and when he saw Wen Yuan, he said guiltily:

"Lord, the last general is not good for protecting food, please punish the lord!"

Wen Yuan frowned, the murderous aura in his eyes flashed, and he said gently: "You come slowly, what is the matter?" ”

"My lord, the last general ordered 2,000 auxiliary soldiers to escort the military rations to the front of the army, but on the way, they were attacked by a large number of bandits, and 20,000 pieces of grain and grass were plundered by the bandits, and the soldiers suffered more than 500 casualties! The last general is not good to guard, please punish the lord! ”

Wen Yuan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said coldly: "Who is so bold and dares to rob my grain and grass!" ”

The grain guard said prostrately: "The last general will see that the bandits are wrapped in black scarves, which should be the part of the black mountain thief Zhang Yan." ”

Wen Yuan pondered intently, and after a while, he found that the grain guard was still kneeling on the ground, and hurriedly helped him up, saying, "You retreat, you must be careful in the future." ”

The grain guard retreated, and Wen Yuan turned his head to look at Hao Zhao.

Hao Zhao pondered for a while and said: "My lord, Taihang Mountain has always been Zhang Yan's territory, my Shangdang County has been Taihang one after another, and I have not been less attacked by him in the past, just because he is strong and strong, and he is powerless than Gengzhi to assassinate him, in addition to him, there are no less than 100 bandits in Shangdang, ranging from hundreds to thousands, burning, killing and looting, doing everything. ”

Hearing this, Wen Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and the joy of just winning the party disappeared, Geng Zhi, Zhang Yan, Yu Fuluo, and bandits, so many intricate strengths, he had so many 20,000 people on hand, even if he recruited troops now, he couldn't form combat effectiveness in a short time, and it was not difficult to deal with one alone with the little force on hand now, but it was very difficult to deal with two.

And now, Geng Zhi in the north has more than 10,000 military horses confronting him, Yu Fuluo in the south has frequently plundered various counties, and in the east, unless he fights to the death at any cost, Wenyuan has no strength to fight against Zhang Yan at all, and in addition, Shangdang is full of mountains, and there are tens of thousands of thieves who occupy the mountain as the king, and now Shangdang can be said to have fallen into a deep crisis, although Wenyuan occupies the most area, the threat is also the greatest, it can be said that a careless, not only Shangdang is not guaranteed, even the 15,000 giant deer army will fall here!

Looking left and right, Wen Yuan asked in a low voice, "What do you think you should do?" ”

The generals lowered their heads and pondered, and Tian Feng also frowned and said nothing.

Wen Yuan was upset in his heart, could it be that Shangdang County, which was finally defeated, had to be honestly let out in the end?

Just when the atmosphere in the hall was low, Cui Yan, the chief bookkeeper, got up and said: "Lord, there is a plan to solve the current dilemma!" ”

Wen Yuan's eyes widened, and he said hurriedly: "Oh! Ji Jue, hurry up! ”

Cui Yan lightly twisted his long beard, and said with an indifferent smile: "The art of war, the army is scheming, and then the war is crossed, the lord, I think Geng Zhi, Zhang Yan is based on one side, his heart is different, now Geng Zhi is heavily stationed in the party, Jinyang must be empty, if you can send a person who argues to Zhang Yan, Daoming is powerful, and the land north of the party is promised to Zhang Yan, Zhang Yan will lead the army to attack, so, the party's predicament is immediately solved, this is a plan to drive the tiger and devour the wolf!" ”

"Wonderful!" Tian Feng stroked his palms and smiled: "If the lord gives Zhang Yan such a big gift in vain, his subordinates will definitely no longer be enemies of the lord, if Geng Zhi hears that Zhang Yan is attacking his back, he will lead the troops to retreat, leaving Yu Luo and the bandits, what else can he do?" Ji Jue is talented, and he can't be rich. With that, he bowed down and saluted Cui Yan.

Wen Yuan's mood suddenly brightened, and after Cui Yan's reminder, he suddenly had a plan, and said with a smile: "Ji Qi really has a clever plan, if Zhang Yan intends to merge the state, he will simply let him forget it, I want to see if he will eat too much and break his belly!" ”

Everyone laughed, and Wen Yuan immediately took the letter engraved by Yuan Shao and ordered Cui Yan to discuss the alliance with Zhang Yan.

But said that the party of the Black Mountain handsome Sun Qing since that day robbed 20,000 pieces of grain and grass, these days are celebrating, suddenly heard that the subordinate soldiers came to report, there is a person who claims to be the messenger of the giant deer Taishou Zhang Liao, there is something to ask to see the handsome Zhang Yan, Sun hurriedly invited the messenger in, only to see the person who came is eight feet tall, beautiful hair, elegant and handsome, it is Cui Yan.
