After a spring rain, the snow melts away.

The lonely wilderness of the north only adds a touch of green, but it makes people feel vibrant.

Outside Yanjing City, a majestic mansion rises from the ground.

There is a big banner erected at the door, with the book Han Wu Xianghou, the Han general, and in the center is a big 'Liu' character. The banner hunts in the wind, revealing a solemn atmosphere. After a month of negotiations, Liu Chuang and Cao Ying decided to temporarily suspend their troops and recuperate. The reason why Cao Ying wanted a truce was also a last resort. With the landing of Gan Ning in Donglai, the Jiaodong Peninsula suddenly became turbulent. There is no way, Liu Chuang has been operating in Jiaodong for three years, although many years have passed, but the influence is still there.

Cao Ying also responded urgently, worshipping the full favor for the history of Qingzhou Thorn and stabilizing the situation in Jiaodong.

In addition to being full of favors, Cao Ying transferred Liang Xi from Xuzhou as the minister of Beihai. At the same time, he began to promote the second generation of Cao's children on a large scale.

Xiahou Yuan's eldest son, Xiahou Heng, was appointed to Qingzhou with his son Xiahou Shang.

This Xiahou Shang has a younger sister, that is, Zhang Fei's wife in history, Xiahou ......

It was not an easy task to repel Gan Ning.

In this landing, Liu Chuang equipped Gan Ning with two stoppers, Wei Yue and Zhou Cang. And Wang Xiu, the Taishou of Donglai County, was Liu Chuang's ministry, and he was also the hero of Liu Chuang's first Tuntian. When Liu Chuang left Qingzhou, Wang Xiu did not dare to go to Liaodong because his mother was seriously ill, so he stayed in Beihai. After Cao Ying captured Beihai, he saw that Wang Xiu's talent was outstanding, so he worshiped Wang Xiu as the Taishou of Donglai......

Of course, Cao Ying's move has another purpose, that is, to stabilize the hearts of the people of Donglaishi in Beihai.

You must know that there were many people who stayed at that time.

This time, when Gan Ning made a comeback, Wang Xiu did not resist strongly, but stationed troops in Yangqiu Mountain and stuck to Mu Ping's strategy. This move, in the eyes of many, is inevitably repetitive. But Cao Ying knew that Wang Xiu's choice at that time was the best plan.

Who is Gan Ning?

Cao Ying didn't particularly understand.

However, Wang Xiu knew that Gan Ning was one of the two people that Liu Chuang asked for by name from Jingzhou.

Another Huang Zhong, who has now been worshiped by Liu Chuang as the general of Duliao, commanded the soldiers and horses when he was in Qingzhou, and was a fierce general under Liu Chuang.

Gan Ning was not well-known at that time, and after coming to Qingzhou, he was transferred to the navy.

However, Liu Chuang did not hesitate to worship Gan Ning as the main general, and even Zhou Cang, the old minister of Yuancong who followed Liu Chuang all the way from Runan, could only be Gan Ning's deputy. It can be seen from this that Liu Chuang attaches great importance to Gan Ning. Even if Gan Ning didn't show any means, Wang Xiu knew that Gan Ning was by no means an idle person. Cao Ying went to war against Jizhou, and Liu Chuang seized the Bohai Sea, which had already left Qingzhou's troops empty. If Wang Xiu takes the initiative to attack, he may only suffer a fiasco, and even the entire Donglai County will be taken by Gan Ning in one fell swoop.

In this case, holding on is the best option.

After Gan Ning landed in Dongmu, he didn't make too drastic moves.

He then ordered Wei Yue to capture Guanyang and garrison his troops to raise Ze, and then ordered Zhou Cang to occupy Changyang and set about building a port as a rear base.

Guanyang, Dongmu and Changyang are all located in the easternmost part of the Jiaodong Peninsula.

After occupying these three counties, the navy could raid along the Jiaodong Peninsula and create more trouble for Qingzhou and even Xuzhou......

Both sides made the best choice, and Cao Ying did not blame Wang Xiu, but praised it.

He didn't want to be able to repel Gan Ning immediately, he just wanted to get out of Jizhou as much as possible, and then appease Jiangdong and deal with Gan Ning again.

In short, Gan Ning's landing in Donglai greatly cooperated with Liu Chuang, and made Liu Chuang gain a lot of advantages at the negotiation table...... It's just that this advantage was mostly offset by Cao Peng's capture of Anping Kingdom and his ambush of Gao Lan. After Cao Peng captured Anping, it was also the end of the crossbow. Liu Chuang knew this, and Cao Ying also knew it, so he deliberately avoided this matter during the negotiation. Your Gan Ning can capture Donglai, and my Cao Youxue can take your Anping Kingdom, and no one will lose face.

Since spring ploughing is coming, whether it is Liu Chuang or Cao Ying, they need to do their best to digest the harvest of this battle of Jizhou, and the negotiations will go very smoothly.

It's just that Cao Ying didn't expect that as soon as the negotiations ended, Liu Chuang would lead the general himself and set up the general's mansion in Yanjing.

Even if he had already guessed that the general seal would fall into Liu Chuang's hands, Cao Ying never thought that Liu Chuang would show it so quickly.

Liu Chuang is now sitting on two and a half states, and although his strength is inferior to Cao Ying, he has no worries.

In addition, there were many Yuan courtiers under his command, so when he took out the general's seal, the Jizhou scholars did not show too strong resistance. In this way, Liu Chuang naturally became a general, and at the age of twenty-four, he led the world's soldiers and horses.

said that he was the commander-in-chief of the world's soldiers and horses, but in fact it was only in Liu Chuang's territory.

However, with such a name, it is reasonable for Liu Chuang to divide the generals.

At the end of January of the eighth year of Jian'an, Liu Chuang was divided into generals in Yanjing.

He took the post of general himself, worshiped Guan Hai as the general of Wei, and Lu Bu as the general of the hussars.

Not too many people stood up against the military positions of these two people. Lu Bu is the tiger of the world, famous and powerful, and everyone knows it; Although Guan Hai's reputation is not as good as Lu Bu, firstly, he is Liu Chuang's elder, and secondly, he is the first old courtier to follow Liu Chuang. Since Liu Chuang established himself in Youzhou, Guan Hai has been in Liaodong and has never interfered in military affairs. This position of General Wei is more of an honor.

In addition to the two of them, Liu Yong was also named the general of the chariot cavalry.

It's just that he is now in Jiaozhou, and even many people who have recently taken refuge don't know Liu Yong's savings.

Although there were some objections at first, after hearing about Liu Yong's incident, those objections were also eliminated. This is a loyal minister, but also a fierce general. Liu Yong's stay in Jiaozhou is actually equivalent to governing Liu Chuang. With such a title, he can also have more power in Jiaozhou.

The rest of the generals have their own rewards.

After dividing the people, it ushered in spring ploughing.

On the second day of February, the dragon raised its head, and after a spring rain, although it still carried some meaning, many places were already ready for farming......

In Liu Chuang's view, the eight years of Jian'an will be an extremely important year.

Why?

Zhang Yan was about to surrender, and after the Montenegrin thieves in Zhongshan State were properly resettled last year, the Montenegrin people who were stranded in Changshan County began to migrate to Bingzhou through the Guòjingcheng Trail. According to the plan, the 100,000 Montenegrins must arrive in Shuofang, where the Kubuqi Desert is located, by March. Of course, in Shuofang at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the desert had not yet been formed, and it was a green grassland with fertile land.

As early as the beginning of spring, the new Shuo Fang Taishou Meng Jian organized soldiers and horses to burn the wasteland.

After this group of Montenegrins arrived in Shuofang, they were assigned to build homes along the Yellow River.

To this end, Liu Chuang ordered the construction of a road in Shuofang. The materials used have been changed from previous years, but the newly developed cement paving is made of stone mortars. In this way, the construction of roads could be greatly accelerated, and at the same time, Liu Chuang ordered the construction of fifteen military towns between Linrong and Guangmu to strengthen the defense of the border fortress. Not only that, but the government military system, which was prepared after a whole year, will also be implemented in Shuofang.

This is a new military system, and it is also a decision made by Liu Chuang after repeated discussions with Xun Chen and others.

In a certain sense, the government military system is an evolved version of Bingtun. Liu Chuang also wanted to implement the conscription system, but the problem was that in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, when materials were extremely scarce, the economy was extremely backward, and the transportation was extremely closed, it was too difficult to implement the conscription system.

Xun Chen once made fun of Liu Chuang and said: "I'm afraid that before your sergeant training is completed, the entire army will completely collapse." ”

Liu Chuang thought about it and felt quite reasonable.

Since it is not possible to implement the conscription system, it is necessary to improve it on the basis of the original.

Therefore, after Liu Chuang and others discussed, Liu Chuang put forward the concept of the government military system, and then handed it over to Xun Chen, Xin Ping and others for design, and then modified by Tian Feng and others, and a complete set of government military system appeared in Bingzhou two hundred years in advance.

Fu Zhu and Tian Feng still did not say that they wanted to surrender to Liu Chuang.

But with the fall of the Yuan family, the attitude of the two was also shaken.

Tian Shi and Fu Hu are now both working under Liu Chuang's account, and judging from the current situation, Liu Chuang values both of them very much.

But that's not enough.

There are too many capable men and wise men under Liu Chuang, and many of them make Fu Zhi and Tian Feng feel a little surprised.

Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, Xu Shu, these people don't need to be said anymore, Tian Yu, Yan Rou, Tian Chou, Meng Jian, Shi Tao, Zhuge are all ...... It's not like it's idle. In the eyes of Fu Zhu and Tian Feng, Tian Shi and Fu Hu's talents are not bad, but they are similar to Meng Jianshi Tao, and they are only a step higher than Xu Miao, Huang Zhen and others. But who is Xu Miao and Huang Zhen? Those are all old ministers who have followed Liu Chuang for many years, and they have already established countless meritorious achievements. Even if they are not as good as Tian Shi and Frustrated Hu, they still have a bright future with their merits.

In contrast, the qualifications of Fu Hu and Tian Shi are too different.

How do you make up for this qualification?

There are only two ways, one is to establish meritorious deeds, and the other is to rely on family background.

You have to rely on yourself to make meritorious deeds.

But the family background ......

Tian Feng and Fu Zhu are also people, even if they are upright, they also hope that their children can get ahead.

Now that Liu Chuang has begun to rise in Jizhou, it will inevitably trigger a round of purges. When Liu Chuang occupies Jizhou, the old patriarchal family will inevitably be eliminated by him and replaced by a group of emerging nobles. For example, Zhongshan Su's, such as Zhongshan Zhang's, such as Yanjing Zhen's, such as Fanyang Lu's...... If they really waited until that time, Tian Shi and Frustrated Hu would be inherently lagging behind others.

In this case, the two old gentlemen were also a little anxious.

From the first half of the seventh year of Jian'an, Tian Feng changed his attitude and began to join the work of Nanshan Academy.

Of course, you still have to be reserved, otherwise it will be very ugly on your face...... It's just that these two want to be reserved, but who is Zheng Xuan, he noticed the change in the two of them at the first time. It happened that Liu Chuang handed Zheng Xuan the regulations of the government military system at this time and asked him to help improve it. When Jian'an was seven years old, Zheng Xuan had already passed the age of antiquity, and his energy and body were not as strong as in the early years. (To be continued.) )
