When Duan Xuan left Xin'an County, he took away his chief bookkeeper Zuo Ling and Changshi Qiu Wei, as well as five hundred subordinates who were willing to take off their military uniforms and follow him to Luoyang.

The departure of these people is both a good thing and a bad thing for his successor, Jia Kui.

Duan Xuan, Zuo Ling and Qiu Wei are the most influential in the army, and after they leave together, Jia Kui can let go of his hands and feet to do a big job, and he doesn't have to have more scruples, which is the advantageous side. However, without the assistance of military officials like Zuo Ling and Qiu Wei, who were familiar with the Hedong army, Jia Kui would have to face tens of thousands of people alone, which not only tested his ability to deal with contingencies, but also tested his courage and means.

Fortunately, Jia Kui was born in a bitter cold, and he has suffered all kinds of hardships in the world since he was a child, and when he was young, he could only go out because he had no cotton pants to protect against the cold, so when he faced the tens of thousands of horses left by Duan Xuan, he seemed very calm and calm, without the slightest panic and confusion.

Following Duan Xuan left, there were not only Zuo Ling and Qiu Wei, but also some middle-level officers in the old Xiliang army, which gave Jia Kui a lot of positions that could be deployed, Jia Kui made full use of the situation he had mastered in the army these days and the list that Duan Xuan provided him, first selected an honest officer from the army to serve as a quartermaster, and then selected an upright officer to serve as a military officer, that is, a military judge.

After selecting the quartermaster, Jia Kui asked him to select some soldiers who did his duty to serve as his subordinates, who were specifically responsible for ensuring the food, grass and military salaries of more than 10,000 people. The same. After selecting the military judge, Jia Kui also asked the military officer to select low-level officers and soldiers who were strong and dignified among the soldiers to join the military justice team.

Jia Kui asked the new logistics quartermaster and military judge to publish the list of selected subordinates, and if the officers and men in the army were dissatisfied with one of them, they could directly come to him to make representations and explain the situation, and Jia Kui would arbitrate to ensure that all the selected people could be accepted by more than 10,000 people.

Because Jia Kui did not install cronies from outside, and these leaders and members of the logistics team and the military law team were elected from within the army, so the officers and men of the whole army did not have too many objections and objections, and they laid a fairly good mass foundation for doing things according to Jia Kui's wishes in the future.

The logistics quartermaster is mainly responsible for the food, drink, and Lazar of more than 10,000 horses, as long as this person is able to do things. It is equivalent to stabilizing these soldiers who came from the east of the river. Military judges are primarily responsible for supervising and inspecting disciplinary violations in the barracks. As long as this person is upright, the troops will be able to remain undispersed and will not become a scourge in Sinanseong. Jia Kui first started with the two aspects of logistics and military discipline, which is a very prudent approach. As for the more sensitive large-scale personnel position adjustments. It will be necessary to wait until he has completely established his prestige in the army. will be implemented.

While doing these things, Jia Kui also made full use of the connections he had accumulated while working in the Luoyang Taifu Mansion to write letters to his good friends Wang Ling and Sima Yi and others. Encourage the two to come to the army to assist themselves or find someone available for them in Chang'an, and send someone to bring Liu Fu, who was willing to borrow pants for himself to wear, to Xin'an to help him do things. On top of that, Jia Kui also asked Zhao Yun for two hundred elite soldiers from the Luoyang Battalion of the Dragon Tiger Guard to come to the Xin'an Camp as instructors.

After Wang Ling, who was in Chang'an, received Jia Kui's letter, he was a little moved, he really didn't want to continue to stay in the treacherous Chang'an City and be afraid, but considering that the Wang family's power had been greatly damaged since Wang Yun's death, and he, who was a nephew, could not put the family aside just for his personal future at such a critical time, so he replied to Jia Kui euphemistically, which probably meant that when the situation in Chang'an became clear in the future, he would definitely come to Jia Kui and work for him.

As a friend when he was in Chang'an, Sima Yi's mind was much more complicated than Wang Ling's, he felt that his talent far exceeded Jia Kui and Wang Ling and others, if he was committed to Jia Kui now, not only would he have no face, but he also felt that the future was not too broad, so he just regarded Jia Kui's letter as a kind greeting from a good friend, and he didn't take it seriously in his heart. Although he did not plan to go to Xin'an to assist Jia Kui, who was in charge of the army alone, he still very enthusiastically recommended two talents to Jia Kui who thought he was good, namely Feng Yi Gaoling Zhang Ji and Fu Gan from Niyang in the North.

Although Zhang Ji was born in the Han family, but the family is wealthy, and he is a good person, when he was sixteen years old, he served as a subordinate official in Feng Yi County, and later was repeatedly promoted, and was promoted by the county as filial piety, but he did not go to Chang'an to enter the Lang Office as an official. Sima Yi recommended Zhang Ji to Jia Kui, because he valued Zhang Ji's indifferent temperament, and felt that it was more appropriate to let Zhang Ji serve as the chief secretary in front of Jia Kui's account.

Fu Gan is the son of Fu Xie, the Marquis of Zhuangjie, when Fu Xie served as the Taishou of Hanyang County, Liangzhou, it coincided with Han Sui, Ma Teng and others supporting the rebellion of the Longxi Didao Kingdom, and besieged Hanyang City, Fu Gan, who was only thirteen years old at the time, saw his father die in battle with the rebels, so he was determined to pacify the border trouble in Liangzhou and avenge his dead father.

After Zhang Ji received Sima Yi's letter recommending him to go to Xin'an to join Jia Kui, he did not agree, but continued to stay in the county as his own small official, and did not seem to care much about the affairs of his career. Fu Gan had nothing to do in Chang'an, and after learning that Jia Kui's subordinates were short of people, he immediately packed his bags and went straight to Xin'an.

After a period of time, first Liu Fu came to join Jia Kui, then the two hundred elite soldiers of the Dragon and Tiger Guard sent from Luoyang arrived in Xin'an, and finally Fu Gan, who set off from Chang'an, arrived in Jia Kui's camp.

Although there were no talents like Wang Ling and Sima Yi, but Fu Gan was able to serve but Jia Kui was also very happy in his heart, he let Fu Gan serve as his chief bookkeeper, and let Liu Fu serve as the Gongcao in the army, and then let two hundred elite Dragon and Tiger Guards from Luoyang temporarily serve as their own guards, so the entire army was put on the shelf.

Deng Hai, the guard general stationed at Hangu Pass, according to Zhao Yun's instructions, sent half of the assets accumulated in the city over the years to Xin'an.

As previously agreed. Jia Kui gathered more than 3,000 soldiers who did not want to stay in the army to save money and eat food for soldiers to the newly leveled colonel, and then distributed a sum of dismissal money to these soldiers who quit the army in front of the soldiers who were willing to stay.

Jia Kui stood on the stage and said loudly: "All the soldiers who don't want to stay in the camp, today Jia Mou put money here to see you off, which is considered to have fulfilled the original promise, I hope you will not go back to Hedong to join Yuan Shao's army after Xin'an immediately, because in that case, we will meet again on the battlefield in the future, and you will be captured and killed at that time." But you can't blame me! ”

Jia Kui's words are very true. The soldiers who were about to leave were very grateful when they heard this, and the soldiers who stayed were very excited when they heard it, because the soldiers heard that Jia Kui was determined to continue the battle with Yuan Shao's army and regain the honor they had lost in Hedong.

Wait until more than 3,000 soldiers who have taken off their uniforms have left Xin'an. There were more than 9,000 people left in Jia Kui's camp. Although the number of personnel in the army has been reduced by more than two percent. But because there are no other ideas left, it is convenient for Jia Kui to lead and manage.

Jia Kui gathered all the soldiers together, and then agreed with everyone for three chapters. First. Jia Kui promised all the soldiers that he would not withhold a single cent of the army's food, but the soldiers also promised him that he would train hard after being fed and clothed, and that he would not steal and cheat; Second, Jia Kui promised all the soldiers that he would reward and punish all the soldiers clearly, treat everyone equally, reward them for meritorious service, and punish them if they have done wrong, but the soldiers must also promise him to strictly abide by military discipline, not to infringe on the interests of the people in the station, and not to endanger the safety of the people in the station; Third, Jia Kui promised all the soldiers that he would always stand with everyone, whether it was in peacetime drills or facing the enemy in front of the battle, he would not back down, but the soldiers should also promise him to share weal and woe and not desert.

These are the three regulations that Jia Kui agreed with his troops, and the soldiers felt that Jia Kui was serious and sincere, so they called it "the three chapters of the law".

The three chapters of the covenant are from the Han Dynasty Gaozu Liu Bang when he entered Xianyang, and his subordinates saw the rare antiques, gold and silver treasures in the Qin palace room, and they couldn't help but be dazzled and salivate. In addition to being amazed, the soldiers recklessly fought for each other, and made a lot of trouble. For a time, there was chaos in Xianyang City. Liu Bang has always been good at wine and women, and at this time he swaggered into the Qin palace room as a conqueror, and in the face of countless jewels and thousands of harem beauties, he couldn't help but greedily want to stop the palace and experience the taste of being the king of Guanzhong.

Fortunately, there are still sober-minded people under Liu Bang, and they quickly reminded him not to live a life of drunkenness. Fan Hao said to Liu Bang: "Pei Gong, do you plan to unify the world in the future, or do you plan to occupy this wealth and just be a rich man?" Jewelry, jade, and beautiful women are the reason why Qin died in the world, how can you stay in the palace? You should hurry up and return to the army! ”

At that time, Liu Bang was obsessed with victory, and he couldn't listen to Fan Xu's contrary advice at all. After Zhang Liang heard about this, he also said to Liu Bang: Qin Wei has no way, Pei Gong, you can get here. What is the difference between this and Tyrannical Qin? Advice is good for action, good medicine is good for disease, I hope you can listen to Fan Xu's advice.

Under the hard persuasion of Fan Hao and Zhang Liang, Liu Bang came to his senses, sealed the treasury of Qin's heavy treasures, and returned it to the army.

After Liu Bang returned to the army, he summoned the elders and heroes of the counties and issued a notice to them: The fathers and elders have been harsh on the law for a long time, the slanderers are the clan, and the occasional ones abandon the city. I make a covenant with the princes, and the first to enter the king's will be the king. There are three chapters of the covenant with the fathers: death to the murderer, punishment to the wounder, and retribution for theft. Yu Xi removed the Qin law. All the officials are blocked. Where I come, for the sake of my father, there is no violence, no fear! And I will return to the army, and wait for the princes to restrain their ears.

This proclamation of the people is the famous "Three Chapters of the Law".

Liu Bang's three chapters of the law retained the administrative institutions and officials of the Qin Dynasty and made them serve their own rule, and these officials of the Qin Dynasty traveled to the counties and towns, and conveyed Liu Bang's "three chapters of the law" to the squires and the people, which greatly won the favor of the squires and the people of Guanzhong. So, the people of Qin were overjoyed and contended to hold cattle, sheep, wine and food to offer to the soldiers, while Liu Bang refused to accept the resignation of hypocrisy, saying: There is a lot of cangsu, not a shortage, and I don't want to waste people. In this way, the people were even happier, and their suspicion and vigilance against Liu Bang were eliminated, lest Pei Gong would not be the king of Qin. In this way, Liu Bang has already taken the lead in the competition with Xiang Yu and won the hearts of the people.

Jia Kui is familiar with the history books, of course, he knows the great power contained in the three chapters of the law, in order to make the army left by Duan Xuan as soon as possible to glow with combat power, so inspired by the three chapters of the law, in the non-descendant army pioneered the launch of such a new "three chapters of the law".

Because of this "Three Chapters of the Law", Jia Kui's prestige was quickly established in the army, and the people near Xin'an no longer resisted this army living in the county. Subsequently, Jia Kui learned from Liu He's practice of assessing and subdividing the source of troops in the army, and optimized the staffing of various branches of the army while training the troops, so that the team soon had the strength to fight.
