"Meet the General!"

After looking at Zhang Wei and Mi Wei in front of him, and signaling that the two of them didn't need to be polite, Zhao Feng also paid attention to the two of them. After all, Zhang Wei was born relatively poor, he was wearing just a coarse cloth single coat, his complexion was the same as that of ordinary Sichuan people, and his body was only one meter six or five, but in Xichuan this was already relatively high.

As for Mi Wei, although he is not the only seedling of the Mi family, as the eldest grandson of the richest man in Xuzhou, at least this dress is much brighter than Zhang Wei. Both of them are sturdy, and even Mi Wei is quite strong, at least he looks more like a military general than his uncle who is a general.

"Boqi, Jianwu, you are all military attachés who are being elected in the Nine Grades this time. Boqi, you were born in Nanzhong, and you are good at foot combat, so I will appoint you as the captain of the infantry army today; Jianwu, you are the captain of the cavalry, in charge of the cavalry of the western camp. Zhao Feng thought for a while. This is also what he has thought deeply, Zhang Wei was the commander of the Wudang Flying Army in history, and he was a good hand in mountain warfare, so let him lead the infantry; Mi Wei is a rich second generation, it's best not to let him go directly to the battlefield and fight with people, in case he hangs, Mi Zhu himself is not easy to explain. The so-called cavalry captain, according to the system, only commands hundreds of cavalry to guard the core areas of the state and county. Cao Ren's son, Xiahou Feng, was the cavalry captain and led 700 cavalry to defend Yecheng. Now that Mi Wei is a cavalry captain, he should still be competent.

"Thank you, General!" The two didn't expect to have this kind of treatment all of a sudden, although the position of lieutenant is only an official position at the county level, but it is not something that can be appointed casually. Now as soon as he debuts, he can serve as a military attache at this level, which is not bad. Even Zhao Feng himself became a lieutenant when he recruited soldiers after a few years of boiling up with Pavilion Chief and Gong Cao.

Zhao Feng didn't realize at that time that at this time, the rich second generation and poor second generation of Liu Bei Group had already begun to show their prominence one after another. In fact, he can't be blamed for this, because the rich second generation of Shu Han in history is really too depressed, and Guan Xing Zhang Bao, who is more popular, also died young, not to mention that they are still little dolls about the same age as their sons. As for Zhao Tong and Zhao Guang, they are still pregnant in Ma Yunlu's belly. Liu Feng and Guan Ping, who were more famous in the early days, died early and left nothing worth singing. Now although there are small characters such as Guan Ping, Mi Wei, and even Xiang Pet and Zhang Wei who are beginning to emerge, the ones who take the lead are all old guys like Guan Yu and them. It is normal for Zhao Feng to ignore these kids.

Zhao Feng didn't even realize that he was at a very embarrassing age. The old guys, even the youngest Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei, are already forty years old this year, and Zhao Feng himself is only thirty-one years old this year, which is considered to be in the prime of life, and similar to Zhuge Liang is only twenty-seven years old. Their age determines that their identities are a little embarrassing, and once Liu Bei is afraid that his heir will not be able to suppress them, it is very likely that he will personally remove the hidden danger before he bids farewell to this world. From this point of view, Zhao Feng himself is now promoting these juniors, can it be regarded as digging his own grave?

Naturally, these things were not something he could understand. At present, it has been eight months since the end of the Central Plains War, and in the past six months, Xichuan's people's livelihood and armaments have also been greatly restored. Since Liu Bei gave him nearly 30,000 soldiers, Zhao Feng did not recruit any other troops this year except for recruiting more than 2,000 people to Nanzhong to supplement the Wuqian Flying Army. Even, he eliminated more than 10,000 slightly weak Sichuan troops, and then under his own leadership, he trained these horses. Strive to make the Sichuan army an elite division with sufficient combat power before the next Northern Expedition.

"At present, Xichuan and Hanzhong, plus the three counties of Longxi and the three counties of Shangyong, have a total of 500,000 household registrations, and a total of 1.8 million men and women. There are a total of 120,000 Ma Bu troops everywhere, of which 20,000 are stationed in the three counties of Longxi, 40,000 in Hanzhong, 60,000 in Xichuan, and more than 10,000 in the three counties of Shangyong. In addition, there are about 40,000 county soldiers and 20,000 tuntian soldiers to guard the place, as well as 10,000 unadvanced flying troops. "In the Yazhong of the Yizhou Pastoral Mansion, Huang Quan said carefully.

"Not bad, not bad!" Zhao Feng also nodded again and again when he heard this, this is much stronger than Shu Han in history, mainly because the three counties of Shangyong and the three counties of Longxi are in hand, and secondly, he did not let Cao Ying move the population of Yinping, Wudu and Hanzhong to Guanzhong, and thirdly, when he attacked Hanzhong and Xichuan, he was quick and quick, and he did not fight for several years like Liu Bei in history, so that these places were not damaged too much.

"Thanks to the general's recuperation of the people's livelihood over the years, otherwise, how could the people of Xichuan live and work in peace and contentment!" Huang Quan sighed. To say that Zhao Feng is the same as in history, after taking Xichuan, some people suggested that the fertile land near Chengdu should be used as a military camp or given to the soldiers, but Zhao Feng still took Zhao Yun's suggestion in history and recruited people to cultivate the land. Although the short-term benefits are not so direct, in the long run, they will inevitably be able to develop more steadily.

"But what I admire the general the most is that he can stabilize Nanzhong." There is a saying that you don't need to pay for sycophants, and Huang Quan followed by the way. After the stability of Nanzhong, Xichuan had less worries when he was fighting, but he had an additional source of soldiers and horses. Presumably, in a few years, the sinicization of Nanzhong will be more thorough, and then more stable land and population resources will be obtained.

Just when Zhao Feng was tossing his poor belongings in Xichuan, Prime Minister Cao Cheng, who was rich in the north, was proud of the spring breeze. On the side of Tongque Terrace, Cao Ying led the generals to hunt outside the city. It is said that the sky is clear, the wind is beautiful, looking up at the vastness of the universe, and looking down on the prosperity of the appearance. In addition to being in high spirits, Cao Ying also ordered a Shu brocade robe to be hung on the treetops. Then the order was given, so the generals rode horses and shot arrows, and if they could hit the red heart, they would be given a brocade robe, and if they didn't hit, they would be punished with a glass of water, and for a time all the generals were eager to try.

As in history, although there is no Wen Ping and Zhang Liao, Cao Jun's talents are still extremely vigorous, and for a while, all the generals are shooting and hunting, and they are also showing their strengths. Cao Ying was overjoyed and shouted again and again. After the hunting was over, Cao Ying ordered a banquet to entertain the generals, these rough people were not very particular, and they drank and had fun for a while, and the atmosphere reached a small **.

The purpose of holding such a large-scale sorority is not only to connect with each other, but also to examine the strength of the younger generation. Cao Ying himself is over half a hundred years old this year, and the Xiahou brothers who followed him to raise troops, and the Cao Ren brothers are also middle-aged. Among the rest of the generals, Le Jin died of his injuries after being crippled, and Li Dian was bedridden since the last war and is now dying. Among the Wenchen, counting the early drama Zhicai, and Guo Jia and Xun Yu, who have passed away one after another in recent years, several have also died. For the long term, Cao Ying must cultivate young talents.

But Cao Ying seems to have ignored a very important issue, that is, he himself is not young anymore, and it is true that talents have entered the rotation cycle, and he should choose a successor for himself. However, Cao Ying did not consider this problem for the time being.

After riding horses and archery, and chanting poems, Cao Ying can also see a few talents, such as Cao Xiu, Cao Zhen and others. It's just that the generals can see it, but the Wenchen is not easy to see. Cao Ying looked at it, but when his eyes saw Sima Yi who was drinking with his head bored, his brows couldn't help frowning.

According to Jia Xu, Sima Yiping said that he was in Xuchang, and in addition to being busy with official business, the rest of the time was spent wandering around Fengyue places, either buying drunk or laughing, which at first glance looked no different from a wanderer. But Cao Ying knew that Sima Yi was definitely not such a simple person. He is so obscure, which can only show that he has a greater pursuit. Thinking of the weird dream he had all along, Cao Ying became more and more jealous of this unattractive young man. As long as he finds a little flaw in him, he is ready to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.

"Father, today everyone gathers together, the child is not talented, write a poem, and ask you to comment on it!" Cao Zhi said at this time. What is the finale, the finale is to be the last to shoot, but there is an absolute certainty, which can ensure that the skills are overwhelming.

Cao Zhi's literary brilliance is indeed the first in the world, and as soon as this poem is recited, it immediately won a full house. Although the rest of the literati such as Chen Lin and others are also first-class scholars in the world, they are only left to applaud when they see Cao Zhi's poems.

"Haha, Zijian Wencai is really good!" Cao Ying laughed and said, all the Wenchen saw that Cao Ying praised his son in public like this, and he was even more stingy with this little fart, and he changed his tricks to praise Cao Zhi for a while. Cao Zhi himself is even more complacent and proud.

Cao Ying looked around at everyone, but saw that Jia Xu was the only one holding his beard alone, noncommittal, and asked a little strangely at the moment: "What, Wenhe, isn't Zijian's poem good?" ”

"Zijian Gongzi is only born for the world, and this poem is naturally excellent. However, Jia Xu believes that there seems to be something missing in Zijian Gongzi's poems. Jia Xu said cautiously.

"Oh, I don't know what Mr. Wenhe thinks, what else is needed?" Cao Zhi couldn't help but feel a little displeased when he heard this. He is young and vigorous, where can people say such about his poems. In fact, Jia Xu's suggestion has been said more tactfully, but since Cao Zhi was fourteen years old, the poems he has made have only won applause, and no one dares to touch his moldy head even if he criticizes it euphemistically.

Jia Xu seemed to turn a deaf ear to the displeasure in Cao Zhi's words, and just said to himself: "I am waiting for the king's grace today, so that we can gather together and enjoy peace." It's just that at this moment, there are still General Zixiao and General Miaocai guarding the frontier in Luoyang and Guanzhong, so that we can enjoy peace. In Childe's poems, you can't forget them! ”

As soon as Jia Xu said this, all the ministers gave up, and the generals had already nodded one after another, thinking deeply. Although Cao Zhi was unhappy in his heart, he still tried his best to restrain himself and said: "What Mr. said is very true, Zhi Zhi must pay attention to it in the future!" It's just that the tone is not good, and it is also clear at a glance. When Cao Ying heard this, he couldn't help frowning a little. It is true that his son is talented and eloquent, but he is young and vigorous, and his arrogance is also obvious. This kind of surname is just drinking and reciting poetry with the literati, but if you want to be a leader, it is not enough. Thinking of this, Cao Ying couldn't help but glance at Cao Pi on the side, at this time he was drinking and eating meat with Xiahou Feng and others, without any scruples. Cao Ying looked at Cao Pi, and then at Cao Zhi, but deep in his heart, he sighed lightly and innorantly.
