The Marquis of Guannei, the first title of the Chu State was finally officially sealed.

This is also what the ministers are looking forward to, eager for Wang Xu to ascend to the throne and become the queen, what they can chase, Mingju!

Even, for many people, they don't care how much the food is, they just want this MG!

During the Shang Dynasty Reform Period, the Qin State abolished the five lords, marquis, uncles, sons, and barons, and changed them to twenty-class titles, and the Han Dynasty also inherited this system, the lower seven layers are civilian titles, which are of little significance, and the middle eleven layers are the scholar class, the nineteenth layer is the Guannei Hou, and the twentieth layer is the thorough wait, and then it was renamed the liehou.

It wasn't until Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty began to sell the titles of the Marquis of Guannei in order to raise military funds, those titles were rotten, and their role became smaller and smaller, and those real scholars gradually formed a new name, scholars! After the Eastern Han Dynasty, the door valve clan arose, and the scholars formed a group, and in the large gate valve, there were countless protégés of the retainers, so it further developed into the scholar clan.

Therefore, the scholar clan has become the scholar class, which can also be said to be the collective name of the aristocratic class, holding all the rights of the Han Dynasty and all the resources and materials!

In the true sense of the word, there are only the knights left in the Guannei Hou and the liehou.

These two titles are not only hereditary, but also have a status that surpasses that of the scholar group, and in the late Han Dynasty, only these two titles could enjoy the food estate.

In this era, only the right to levy taxes was left, and according to the number of households demarcated, which households were set to pay a certain percentage of the tax, and of course the tax rate was set by the state.

100 households in the food town means that 100 households are set aside, and a large part of the taxes paid by these people is distributed to the owner of the title. There are also a lot of tens of thousands of households in that kind of food town.

Among them, the title of the marquis in the Guannai is lower than that of the liehou, and the food can reach five or six hundred households is the extreme, and then the liehou, which is divided into three classes in the late Han Dynasty, the county marquis, the township marquis, and the pavilion marquis, and the place name is given to distinguish it. Hanshou Pavilion Marquis, that is, the food is in Shouting, if the number of sealed households is greater than the total number of pavilions. Then add the households in the surrounding area.

Administrative division in the late Han Dynasty. It is a county, a county, a township, a pavilion, and a li.

For the division of the title, Wang Xu has had a headache for a long time, and he has always refused to rush to seal it, mainly because the first one is difficult to do. For the state of Chu. Who was the first to be sealed? A lot of credit!

Now Xu Zhong's matter is an excellent opportunity. Posthumously sealed, let this dead hero occupy this first position.

Such. The ministers will no longer question who is the first to be crowned, and they can even understand Wang Xu's reason for doing this,

The first is of course to compensate and reward this loyal general, and the second is the impact that such loyal acts can bring, which has a great effect on the encouragement of the people in the land of the three states. Third, set up a model to express the standard of the marquis, the first is loyalty and righteousness, and the second is merit and talent!

This news soon spread to Xiangyang, and then spread to all places, and the attitude of many civil and military officials was instantly raised by two notches again.

Of course, Wang Xu had no intention of caring about these at this time, and rested in the village for a night, and then embarked on the journey again.

It took another six days for the army to arrive at the cottage set up in Jiaozhou at a turtle speed, indicating that it had arrived in Yulin County.

Zhuge Liang, Xue Zong, and Cheng Bing were already there to greet them in person.

After saluting, Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly, and said with a smile: "Lord, Xue Taishou and Cheng Juncheng have received a letter from Xiangyang, saying that the lord has personally led the troops south, but he has been waiting here for more than ten days, and he is here every day. ”

"Hey, it's all because of this so-called road, it's really hard to walk, my army of 10,000 has been winding around it for more than half a month." Wang Xu patted the sludge on his hands and smiled: "Respect for Wen, Deshu!" This time I came, but the two of you have suffered in this wilderness! ”

Xue Zong and Cheng Bing immediately waved their hands again and again.

Xue Zong said: "The king laughed, the king still led the army to march in the mountains, and his subordinates and others can't blow the wind or rain here, how can they talk about hard work." ”

"Yes, this road has been personally surveyed by his subordinates, it is really long and tortuous, and I don't know how many years it has not been repaired, it is really difficult to walk, I can't imagine that the king is willing to come by trekking through mountains and rivers in person." Cheng Bing also sighed slightly.

"Hahaha......" Wang Xu laughed, shook his head and laughed at himself: "I am a martial artist, how can I avoid dangers!" ”

"The king has humbled himself!" The two looked at each other and smiled, and said respectfully.

"Huh!" Wang Xu smiled and stepped forward to grab the hands of the two of them, and strode towards the camp: "In the future, you will call my lord in private, and the king's call will be estranged, not to mention that your mentor Liu Xi is my grandfather's student and my elder, and you and I are also brothers!" ”

When the two of them heard this, they were indeed stunned for a moment, and suddenly burst into laughter.

"Huh? Why are you so happy! Wang Xu's face was puzzled.

Xue Zong said with a smile: "Lord, earlier we were worried that it would be difficult to cater to the majesty of the lord, and we paid attention to our own appearance all day long, Kong Ming laughed and said that it was in vain, and said that if the lord came, he must be kind and approachable, and he would definitely come forward to hold our hands and call him brother, sure enough!" ”

"Hahaha!" Wang Xu laughed again, looked back at Zhuge Liang who was following with a smile, and said with a smile: "Kong Ming is meticulous and observant, he is my right-hand man, his words will naturally not be wrong, you are in vain!" ”

Everyone laughed in unison, teasing each other familiarly, and walked into the camp side by side like old friends for many years.

It wasn't until he sat down in the house and drank a few sips of tea that Zhuge Liang gradually secretly turned the topic to the situation in Jiaozhou.

"What? What does Kong Ming mean is that now when he goes south from Yulin County and enters Jiaozhi County? Wang Xu frowned and said.

"That's right, Jiaozhi County is in the south of Yulin County, and the troops in the army have long been brought to the South China Sea by Shixie, and now it is empty, and it is a good time. Then the lord attacked Cangwu again, and gave a threat to the Jiaozhou and Jiangdong coalition forces from the west, which must not last long! Zhuge Liang said firmly.

"But in this southern expedition, this king only brought 10,000 people here, and I am afraid that the troops are insufficient!" Wang Xu hesitated.

"But don't worry, the minister has a plan for this matter long before he goes out to Jiaozhou!" Zhuge Liang calmly shook the feather fan and said.

Suddenly, Wang Xu, Xue Zong, and Cheng Bing all looked at him in astonishment.

"Kong Ming. Did you know that this king would go south long before you set out for Jiaozhou? Wang Xu's face was full of incredulity.

"Of course not!" Zhuge Liang smiled and shook his head: "The minister only knows that Jingwen and Deshu will inevitably abandon the darkness and turn to the light, the west door of Jiaozhou is wide open, and the lord will send troops to the south, but no matter which general comes with troops, this plan is feasible." ”

Wang Xu breathed a long sigh of relief, if Zhuge Liang even calculated that he would go south, then it would really be predictable.

"Then what is Kong Ming going to do?"

"Does the lord know the two of them?"

"I know a little bit about it, but he is the son of Shixie." Wang Xu nodded.

"In order to meet the battle, Jiaozhou has drawn a large number of troops. There were only two or three hundred soldiers in each county to maintain wartime order. When the lord's army arrived, with the power of Yulin County, it would inevitably open the city and surrender, but only Jiaozhi County had 5,000 soldiers left. It is ruled by two people, the scholar and the scholar. This gentleman is steady. Soldiers are only resourceful, and if they want to attack, it may be more difficult. ”

"That being the case. Why did Kong Ming want to take down Cochin first? Wang Xuqi said.

"Jiaozhi is the foundation of Shixie, and it is also the core of the Shi family, as long as it is controlled, the Jiaozhou army will inevitably be turbulent and lose its will to fight. Moreover, if the two counties of Yulin and Jiaozhi are all controlled by the lord, the Nashi family will lose the support of the rear, just like the lord will lose Xiangyang, and he will not be defeated. ”

"Yes!" Wang Xu nodded noncommittally: "Hasn't the Jiaozhou Army divided its troops to rescue recently?" ”

Zhuge Liang smiled and said nothing, but Xue Zong continued with admiration on his face: "Of course, half a month ago, he divided 30,000 troops to counterattack Yulin County, but only two or three thousand defeated soldiers fled, and General Zhao Yun also obeyed Pang Shiyuan's plan and took advantage of the situation to break through the two large battalions of the Jiaozhou Army in the South China Sea!" ”

"Oh? Here's how to do it! Wang Xu looked sideways curiously.

Xue Zong shook his head in admiration, and then slowly explained the reason for the matter.

"At that time, the Jiaozhou army came violently under the leadership of Shi Yi, and there were only five thousand troops in the hands of his subordinates, which was to prevent the lord from marching from the mountain road on the side of Yulin, but at that time it was borrowed by Kong Ming for four thousand, and stationed in the east of Alin County twenty miles, after the Shi Yi army came, Kong Ming sent a thousand people to fight, defeated and retreated, and then retreated all the way to Alin County."

"Shi Yi thought that we were too small to be defeated, so he pursued all the way and occupied Alin County. But in fact, Alin has long been an empty city, and the real people have long since moved away, and it is covered with hay, timber, oil, wax and other ignited things, which are connected to each other by fuses, and once burned, they will spread rapidly. ”

"Our troops entered the city through the east gate and escaped through the west gate, while our own soldiers disguised themselves as civilians in advance and hid in houses in the corners of the city walls, and a lot of food and coins were scattered in the center of the city to attract soldiers to stop and concentrate."

"Moreover, Kong Ming had already calculated the time, and when Shi Yi chased into Alin, it was late at night, so he really suspended the pursuit as expected, let the army from afar enter the city to rest, and ordered to collect the food coins that were placed haphazardly."

"The subordinate soldiers, then set fire to the three city gates, leaving only the west gate not to burn, set fire everywhere along the city wall, and then climbed the city wall, after shooting a few rounds of rockets into the city, the rope that fell from the city head was withdrawn to the outside of the city, and the city was in half a moment, the fire rose to the sky, Shi Yi led the soldiers to flee in a hurry, and rushed out in the direction of the only west city gate that did not burn."

"At this time, Kong Ming had already sent soldiers to ambush outside the west city gate, waiting for it to come out, taking advantage of the night to attack with the momentum of thunder, the Jiaozhou army had just been burned, suffered heavy casualties, and was frightened, when rushing out of the city, one hundred and ten people, the army was scattered, where could the enemy ambush, after a few rounds of impact, he put down his arms and surrendered, Shi Yi was hooked down by a tripping horse, captured alive for the soldiers, a total of more than 18,000 people were captured before and after this battle, only about two or three thousand defeated soldiers fled to the east."

Burning Shinno?

Wang Xu almost instantly popped up this word in his mind, and he didn't know why he had this association, but it was too similar, but it should be renamed Burning Alin.

4,000 breaks 30,000, this can be called a shocking battle!

It's a pity that Kong Ming obviously didn't think so, but when Wang Xu was surprised, he already said: "Lord, this battle is just a surprise, it is Pang Shiyuan who is really good at observing the situation, and his subordinates never thought that he would be able to seize the opportunity so much, and use this battle to break the situation and help General Zhao kill the two camps in Jiaozhou in one fell swoop."
