Chapter 16 Vayi Prefecture
The 60,000 conscription quota has reached all counties, but in only half a month, it has already been full.
Millions of people in Liangzhou, whether they are slaves, naturalized or Chinese, all rushed to respond.
For any Liangzhou person, what Li Zheng has done, they have unconditional support and support. Even if it's a slave, it's the same.
Although the household registration title is inferior, for the vast majority of slaves, their lives now are much better than before they became Liangzhou people, at least they all have their own land and property, and they can dispose of them at will. Moreover, in any family, as long as a member becomes a regular soldier, then there will be a series of military family benefits, which is very attractive to slaves.
After the recruitment of 60,000 elites was completed, the two major recruit training camps in Baishuichuan were busy.
Wang Laohu, Xu Xiaojiu, Lin Shishi, and Li Zheng's wife Xun Ying also participated.
Because of the popularity of ginseng wheat and the comfort of the environment, the overall body of the people of Liangzhou can be said to be far superior to the population of other states and counties in the Han Dynasty. The 60,000 elites who were carefully selected were all fierce men.
In addition, because of the environmental factors in Liangzhou, people can ride horses, and the people are fierce, so the training of recruits is much faster than in the early days.
This group of 60,000 recruits, after about three months of rigorous training, was able to initially come in handy.
The news of the large-scale conscription in Liangzhou soon spread, and Dong Zhuo in Guanzhong, Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, and Liu Yan in Yizhou all became nervous.
As a result, a round of arms race unfolded among the surrounding forces.
In order to cope with the conscription in Liangzhou, these three forces also began large-scale conscription. And blind mass conscription!
The situation in Yizhou is still better. After all, Yizhou is quite rich and has a large population, so it can withstand another 120,000 levy.
But in Hanzhong and Guanzhong, this is not the case.
There were nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses under Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, and it was already stretched to raise 100,000 soldiers and horses in Hanzhong.
And Guanzhong has been cut off from support by Li Zheng, and Dong Zhuo is not good at governing the place, and the entire land of Guanzhong is in depression and there are countless displaced people. Now it is necessary to force conscription, which has caused a lot of dissatisfaction, and some local counties have begun to resist!
The so-called arms race made Li Zheng cry and laugh at the same time, and at the same time, he also gave birth to some unexpected joys.
If they want to fight, let them fight, and drag them down!
With the opening of the direct road from Liangzhou to Yizhou, the connection between the two states has become more frequent and closer. Forces from all walks of life in Yizhou frequently come and go to Liangzhou and see the grand scene of Liangzhou. The tentacles of Liangzhou have infiltrated secretly, penetrating more and more deeply into all strata of Yizhou.
Therefore, every move of the Yizhou official is under Li Zheng's nose, and no small action can be hidden.
Three years of early peace, June, early summer.
In the Lingzhou General's Mansion, Li Zheng summoned all the important ministers under his command.
In the lobby, Li Zheng sits in the main position with high ends, and the martial arts under the hall are divided into left and right, including Xun You, Jia Xu, Tian Feng, Xi Zhicai, Xun Yan, Zhang Shan, Xu Huang, Yang Feng, Hu Cai, Li Le and others.
Xu Huang and others have voted for Li Zheng since a few years ago, and for most of the past six months, they have spent most of their time in the military branch of Lingzhou Tai College, studying a qiē related to the Liangzhou military, and by now, they have basically completed their studies.
This time, several of them were summoned together, and it was precisely because of the military affairs.
"The 50,000 recruits recruited in the spring have completed the recruit training task well." Li Zheng smiled: "I think the time is ripe." ”
"The time is ripe." Xun Yu bowed his head and said: "In the past few months, many families, heroes, and even civil officials and generals in Yizhou have shown enough goodwill to my Liangzhou, and they will all be the help of the lord to enter Yizhou!" ”
"Among most of the counties and counties in Yizhou, there are already seventy percent of the county chiefs, who have been infiltrated, controlled, and moved by our intelligence department, and they will immediately change their ways as soon as the lord gives an order!" Jia Xu smiled lightly.
"Yinping Dao is garrisoned by 150,000 troops from Youzhou, and the main general is Zhao Wei, supplemented by Huang Quan and Yan Yan." Xi Zhicai's face was expressionless: "There are also Ling Bao, Yang Huai, Gao Pei and others will be left and right." However, the soldiers of Yizhou have rarely experienced wars, and half of the 150,000 soldiers and horses are all new soldiers, so there is no need to worry! ”
"The soldiers of Yizhou are insignificant!" Li Zheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "Now the people of Yizhou admire me Liangzhou, the generals of Yizhou, have no fighting spirit, that Liu Junlang, almost alone, if you don't take Yizhou at this time, when will you stay?" ”
"Please give the Lord's order!"
All the civil and military officers stood up in unison, and their fighting spirits were high.
"Good!"
Li Zheng laughed and said, "Zhang Shan listens to the order!" ”
"The last general!"
Zhang Shan's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly clenched his fists, staring at Li Zheng with a pair of eyes.
"I won't be too lazy to go to Yizhou this time, lest you bastards say that I won't give you a chance to make meritorious contributions." made a joke first, Li Zheng had a straight face, and said: "This general appointed Zhang Shan as the governor of the southern army, and led 5,000 wolf cavalry, 500 golden-winged tiger cavalry, 30,000 garrisons of Wuguangguan (a new checkpoint between Wudu and Guanghan Avenue), and 30,000 recruits, a total of 65,500 people, to go south to Yizhou, and be sure to take the entire territory of Yizhou within this year!" ”
"The last general commands!"
Zhang Shan shouted, his spirit was uplifted, and he was overflowing with words.
"Xu Huang listens to the order!"
"The last general!" Xu Huang perked up and hurriedly bowed down and hugged his fists.
"Appoint Xu Huang as a captain, command a battalion of soldiers and horses, and be the deputy general of Zhang Shan, and accompany the expedition to Yizhou!"
"The last will be ordered!" Xu Huang was pleasantly surprised.
"Yang Feng listens to orders!"
"The last general!"
"Order you to be the captain, command a battalion of soldiers and horses, allocate 10,000 recruits, and immediately go to Dunhuang, subordinate to the Western Legion Li Luo's department, and listen to his dispatch!"
"The last will be ordered!"
"Where is Li Le?"
"The last general!"
"Order you to be the captain, command a battalion of soldiers and horses, allocate 10,000 recruits, and immediately go to Hanyang Longguan, subordinate to the Eastern Army Pang De's department, and listen to his dispatch!"
"The last will be ordered!"
"Where is Hu Cai?!"
"The last general!"
"Order you to be the captain, command a battalion of soldiers and horses, allocate 10,000 recruits, and immediately go to Gaonu, subordinate to Baiyu's department, and listen to his dispatch!"
"Whoa!"
"Mr. Zhicai," after appointing a cadre of generals, Li Zheng turned his face to Xi Zhicai and said: "This southern expedition, I still have to bother Mr. with the army staff." ”
"This is the duty of your subordinates."
Xi Zhicai's face was expressionless.
Li Zheng nodded and shouted, "Then, generals, let's go!" ”
After Xi Zhicai and a military general left, Li Zheng discussed the follow-up with Xun You and others.
"This time to move troops against Yizhou, it is difficult to guarantee that Dong Zhuo will not move." Li Zheng pondered: "In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, I would like to ask Mr. Wenhe to go to Longguan and be responsible for the military staff of Longguan and Gaonu, what does Mr. think?" ”
"Your Majesty's Order." Jia Xu bowed slightly and received the order with a smile.
Li Zheng said with a smile: "With Mr. Wenhe in charge, it is difficult to make waves regardless of how cruel Dong Zhuo is." ”
After that, he turned his face to Xun You and said: "After taking Yizhou, all aspects of Yizhou, government affairs and people's livelihood, need to be coordinated and transformed, which requires one person to have an overview of the overall situation." Is there a candidate for Gongda? ”
Xun You thought for a while and said, "Mr. Yuan Hao can be in this position!" ”
Li Zheng thought about it, then asked Tian Feng again, "What does Mr. think?" ”
Tian Feng shook his head and said, "Your Majesty is the head of the Criminal Law Department, how can he be in charge of the affairs of a state?" According to the ministers, it is better to let Xun Gongda take this important responsibility" Saying, Tian Feng paused, and said: "If you take Yizhou, the lord's territory will be doubled." According to his subordinates, it was time to appoint the county governor and the state minister. Xun Gongda can be ordered to be the pastor of Yizhou Prefecture and be in charge of Yizhou government affairs. ”
When Li Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, then smiled, and nodded: "What Mr. Yuan Hao said is reasonable. ”
As he spoke, he turned his face to Xun You and said, "Gongda, are you willing to take charge of Yizhou's government affairs, or stay in Lingzhou to look at the overall situation?" ”
Xun You thought about it.
Two options, each with its own benefits.
is in charge of the affairs of a state, that is, the official of the feudal territory, which is no worse than staying in Lingzhou. Staying in Lingzhou to take an overview of the overall situation, in terms of name and status, is higher than that of the local chief.
"My lord, my subordinates are willing to go to Yizhou!" Xun Yu thought for a while, and said.
Li Zheng nodded slightly, and said: "Okay, I have you and Mr. Yuan Hao under my command who are worthy of this position, since you are willing and Mr. Yuan Hao recommends it, then it is you." ”
Saying that, Li Zhengmian County was helpless: "You are gone, I have to be busy again!" Mr. Yuan Hao and Mr. Xiu Ruo will have to take on more government affairs. ”
Tian Feng and Xun Yan nodded yes.
"As for the appointment of county guards in various places," Li Zheng thought for a while and said: "This is done in advance, the county guard is an important position, and those who do not have both ability and political integrity are not enough to take on it." It is still necessary to do more investigations, and we will discuss it later. ”
"Good!"
Yinping County is the seat of governance of the Guanghan vassal country, and there are Yinping trails stretching in the mountains. Now Liangzhou has opened up the road to Tongtian from Wudu to Guanghan vassal country, so this trail was cut off and Wuguang Pass was established.
Wuguangguan is close to the Yinping Trail, only thirteen miles away from the beginning of the Yinping Trail, and only twenty miles away from Yinping County.
Now, in Wuguang Guanzhong, more than 60,000 troops have gathered, among which the banner is full of people!
This made the 150,000 Yizhou troops stationed in Yinping County tremble for a while and take strict precautions.
