Jingzhou was initially decided, inspiring the ministers, and the cohesion was unprecedented. Regardless of whether they are military officers or generals, they are all full of energy and hope for the future. The decrees to appease the aftermath, reorganize the army, and recuperate were issued one after another, and the general's mansion was incomparably lively, and the flow of people outside the palace gate continued to stop until late at night. The battalions distributed in the east, south, west, and north of Xiangyang City did not stop mobilizing for a moment.

After half a busy month, the entire Jingzhou was finally generally stable, and a summary meeting was held on the reward of meritorious deeds. The lively Cheng dù is also unprecedented, not only because of the high spirits, but also because there are four new faces, Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang, Yi nationality, and Xiang Lang, the four former ministers of Liu Biao. As for the generals, in Wang Xu's heart, there are a total of three people under Liu Biao's account who are currently qualified to participate in the high-level meeting, among which Huang Zhong and Wen Ping are two dead-headed, who deeply blame themselves for Liu Biao's surrender and are still in pain and crying, and they are still closed at home in Wancheng, Nanyang.

In addition, there is also a future handsome talent who is still a small army Sima, Liu Bei's important minister in history - Li Yan, but when Wang Xu remembered this, this person could not be found. It is estimated that it was because he scolded Wang Xu on the battlefield at the beginning, and after Liu Biao led the people to surrender this time, he was afraid of being hated by him, so he slipped away, and even his parents and children moved away from his hometown, and he didn't know where he was.

This made Wang Xu cry and laugh, a good handsome person just ran away, he was really a cautious person. In desperation, he could only order the spy to pay attention to investigate and usher in this person. It's just that he didn't expect this move to be fully understood, but he was misunderstood by Li Yan by mistake, and he heard the rumors in the market when he disguised himself to flee north, and mistakenly thought that he was being held accountable, but he was resentful in his heart......

The rally was brief. I just listened to the results of the aftermath of the First World War in Jingzhou. It was transferred to the reward of high-level merit. Wenchen is easy to do. Because of limitations, he could not be promoted, so he could only reward money and improve his salary. Only a lot of ministers were enabled, among which there were four people who entered Wang Xu's eyes, all of whom were historical ministers.

A native of Xiangyang, Xiang Lang and Xiang Juda, students of Sima Hui, succeeded Wang Wen as the general's law Cao Peng, and oversaw all post and post traffic and road matters under his rule. Wang Wen, a retainer who had been temporarily taking over this position, had already resigned, and he just wanted to return to the Wang family compound and live well with his wife, concubines, children and grandchildren. It's just that there has been a shortage of manpower before. Wang Xu was reluctant to let go, but now he has a more suitable one, just to eliminate a worry.

The native of Shanyang, Yanzhou, that is, Liu Biao and Wang Xu's hometown Yi and Yi Jibo, was appointed to the General's Mansion to execute Cao Peng, overseeing the criminal law and convictions, similar to the president of the Supreme Court. This person is quick-witted, eloquent and knowledgeable, and in history, he and Zhuge Liang, Fa Zheng, Li Yan, and Liu Ba jointly compiled the Shu law "Shu Branch", and let him serve as Cao Peng, which is also reasonable. As for Liu Xian, who was originally in this position, he was transferred to Cangcao Peng and was in charge of the internal affairs of the treasury of money and grain. Assist Shucao in compilation.

However, the appointment of Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang gave Wang Xu a headache for a long time, originally with the talents of the two of them. The east and west two Cao Peng are just right, but unfortunately they are subordinate after all, and the east and west two Cao are half a foot taller, and they belong to the position of governing each Cao Peng, but they are afraid that the ministers under their rule will not be satisfied. In the end, the tax affairs were separated from Hu Cao, and the post Cao Peng was restored, and Kuai Liang, who was better at internal affairs, was appointed as the superintendent of the post and Peng, that is, similar to the head of the tax department. There was no post supervisor before, and it was also because of the word post superintendent, for some reason, Wang Xu always reminded Liu Bei and Zhang Fei of the time when Liu Bei and Zhang Fei used wicker to supervise the post in history.

Kuai Yue's talent is more comprehensive than Kuai Liang, and he is both military and political, and after thinking about it, he set up Cao Peng. However, with the expansion of the territory, the officials not only had to assist Wang Xu in coordinating the military and political affairs of Jingzhou, and often went on expeditions, but also had to be responsible for the records and promotions of hundreds of officials, which was already overwhelmed. Therefore, Kuai Yue was simply allowed to take this position, and the affairs in charge of this position were also closer to Wang Xu, so that Kuai Yue could have more room to exert his talents.

As for Liu Biao's other ministers, Deng Xi, Fu Xun, Li Qi, Deng Fang, Fu Kuang, Dong Hui and others, and even more Wang Xu did not remember that there were records in history, so they were assigned to each Cao as an official. Although they are not outstanding, they are also extraordinary, and they can really greatly optimize the entire management system of Jingzhou.

In terms of military generals, Wang Xu obviously attaches much more importance to it, and Liu Biao will use all of them without exception. Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, two outstanding naval generals who are quite notorious in history, are no exception, Cai Mao is the deputy general of Song Qian in the position of Zhonglang general, and Zhang Yun is the deputy general of Jia Hua. Liu Pan, Huo Jun, Huo Du brothers and other generals were all high and low, and they were assigned to various armies.

There were no major changes in the original Jingzhou generals, only a few generals with outstanding merits were promoted.

In the battle of Shu, Xu Sheng, who forcibly seized the belly of the fish and tore open the dangerous gap in Shu, was promoted to General Hengye and officially entered the ranks of generals.

Zhao Yun was promoted to general Wuwei because of his meritorious service in the capture of Jiangzhou and his meritorious service in the death of Tang Zishan after the first battle was broken.

Guan Hai and Zhang Jing held Xiangxiang for 5 days, pinning down the enemy's forces, which indirectly enabled Huyang to be preserved and avoided a complete defeat. They are all still partial generals, and each is rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver and 10 beautiful servants.

The most unexpected thing was Zhou Zhi, when Wang Xu liquidated the merits before and after, and after the feat of this surprise attack on Wancheng, he announced on the spot that he would move to the rebel general. At present, under Wang Xu's rule, there are only three real general positions in total, perhaps because happiness comes too quickly, Zhou Zhi, who has always been pressed to be promoted, was dumbfounded on the spot and did not receive the order for a long time.

"Where is Zhou Zhi? Are you unhappy with this bounty? Wang Xugao sat on the head, although his heart had long been happy, but his face was majestic, pretending to be annoyed.

"Ahh In, in! Zhou Zhi responded, but his blank eyes turned to the four directions in a panic, and then whispered in disbelief: "Could it be that you are dreaming again?" ”

Kuai Yue and other newcomers don't know why, but the former Jingzhou Wenchen military general is suddenly happy, laughing, and they all know his grievances. This week's wisdom is not obvious, but every time there is a big battle, there is always an outstanding appearance, and he has accumulated a lot of achievements over the years, but Wang Xu has always suppressed his promotion, and everyone understands why.

Wang Xu couldn't help but smile, but his mouth was not relaxed: "Do you accept it or not?" ”

Zhou Zhi came back to his senses in the laughter of everyone, and suddenly felt a rush of blood on his head, and his face was flushed with excitement. was about to get up to answer the call, but suddenly had an idea. Weakly said, "Boss." Can you change the title of military division general! ”

As soon as this remark came out. Kuai Yue and the others were all unhappy, feeling that this person was arrogant, but the former Jingzhou Wenchen military general did not care, and still laughed, this rogue general was far from being like this, and his coveting of the position of military advisor was not a day or two.

"Huh! Hmm......" Wang Xu smiled and dragged out his voice, but then his face suddenly sank: "Can't!" And you accept your fate, the military advisor will never have a chance with you again. ”

"Ahh Zhou Zhi's mouth opened wide in surprise. Eagerly continued: "Boss, didn't you promise?" ”

"Huh! When did I promise to make you a military advisor, I just said to give you that opportunity, but you obviously didn't take advantage of it. Wang Xu said with a smile.

"I've done such a great job, why can't I!" Zhou Zhi was puzzled.

"It's because of the great achievements you have made one after another that you can't!" Wang Xu looked at Zhou Zhi affirmatively, and his tone really sank: "All the talents and specialties you show show that you are a general, and you have nothing to do with military advisors. I like to personally lead troops to a surprise attack, personally go into battle to kill and kill generals, and seek victory in every danger. The imaginative-minded military advisor is really not interested! ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Zhou Zhi, whose face was gloomy. Wang Xu asked with a strange face: "Let's give you another chance!" What do you think, how about we are now pouring the power of Jingzhou and suddenly waving our army to attack Cao Cao's lair, catch him off guard, and occupy the Central Plains? ”

Hearing this, Zhou Zhi's eyes lit up: "Well, good idea!" But it's a bit difficult to implement, so you have to figure out how to do it. If I am asked to command, I have a strong feeling that I can take Cao Cao's Yanzhou and Yuzhou, and beat him to Xuzhou and Tao Qian to be lively. ”

"What a fart!" Wang Xu finally couldn't help but scold. "You ask all the generals present, if you are a military advisor, ask them if they do it!"

The generals hurriedly shook their heads, joking, Zhou Zhi's ideas were of great use from time to time, but they were like that all the time, and they were not much different from staking their lives to Lord Yama first.

"Why? Although it is a little dangerous, we have the ability to cripple Cao Cao, seize the rich land of the Central Plains, and then wave the army into Hanzhong and break Liu Yan in Shu, so isn't it just around the corner to pacify the world? "Zhou Zhi obviously feels that his strategy is good.

"It's good, and there's a chance of success. I also believe in the ability of the generals, but I don't have the guts, and no leader in this world has the guts! Wang Xu said with a wry smile.

Most of the civil and military generals in the hall were also silent. Zhou Zhi's words are not unreasonable, his method is the fastest way to unify the world, but God knows what accidents there are. This is no longer like a sane war, but a gamble on the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and their families in Jingzhou. War is not a campaign, a campaign can be dangerous, it can be a surprise attack, it can be a victory in a dangerous situation, and it can be gambled. However, war is two-dimensional, and his decisive factor is not only on the battlefield, but also involves all aspects, and it is not at all a gamble to solve the problem, and it is by no means wise to calculate the strategic level of a grand war by winning the battle in danger.

Of course, Zhou Zhi is not stupid, he understands the truth very well, but understanding and recognizing experience are two different concepts, and his stubborn concepts are not the same. Fortunately, seeing everyone's expressions, he could understand, and immediately smiled and said, "Okay, boss!" Then I'll still be a general, it's all the same anyway, just listen to you, I only admire you! ”

"Huh!" After a haha, Wang Xu rolled his eyes and scolded with a smile: "Then don't you roll over and get your seal!" ”

This qiē was actually deliberately done by Wang Xu, Zhou Zhi had his own dreams, and the military advisor was his dream. But countless practices have proved that this kid is not the material to be a military advisor at all, so how to let him pass this hurdle is very important, obviously today is the best time.

Subsequently, when everyone thought that the meeting was about to end, Wang Xu suddenly issued an order for the expansion of the army. Despite the opposition on the spot, there was no turning back.

It is said that in the current situation, it is all the more necessary to maintain the strength of the previous army and focus on developing the economic and combat readiness strength under the rule. Wang Xu knows this very well in his heart, but unfortunately this year's series of battles made him unforgettable and changed.

If there were superior forces at the beginning that could be divided into troops to garrison dangerous points, then how could Cao Cao dare to rashly come and attack? Liu Biao's Nanyang is not only still a barrier to the north, but can also be slowly eroded by the spy shadow in the passage of time, and finally make it surrender without a fight.

But now the result is: to win the war but suffer heavy losses, and the plan to enter Shu has been forced to be postponed. Now that a large area of territory has been expanded, and rich places such as Nanyang Shangyong have been obtained, the burden on the army is large, and the economy can not be taken care of, and it is not too late to accumulate strength after taking Shuzhong.

In the end, Wang Xu announced with unprecedented strength: the regular army of the county was expanded to 200,000, and the naval army was 60,000.

The four counties of Jingnan Wuling, Lingling, Guiyang and Changsha each garrisoned 5,000, and Yuzhang, the eastern gateway, garrisoned 15,000 to defend Jiangdong.

There were 10,000 garrisons in Jiangxia County in Jingbei to guard against Jiangbei Yu and Yang, 5,000 in Zhangling County, and 20,000 in Nanyang County to guard against Zhongyuan prisoners.

placed Shangyong County, garrisoned 10,000 troops to suppress Hanzhong. In Jiangzhou County, 50,000 heavy troops are stationed in Shuzhong to deal with the main force in Shuzhong, and the entire Jingzhou must be given time to recuperate.

The remaining 70,000 people were stationed in the four major battalions around Xiangyang City in Nanjun County, waiting for dispatch at any time.

In addition, the naval army was divided into two divisions, stationed in Jiangxia and Jiangzhou, to protect the banks of the Yangtze River.

Of course, this expansion plan is only a goal. The actual situation is that even if Jingzhou, which suffered heavy losses, reorganized Liu Biao's army, it would take a long time to achieve this goal, at least the recruitment and training of new recruits would not be achieved overnight, not to mention the manufacture and production of weapons and armor, war horses, and so on. After giving priority to the defense of each county, the four battalions of Xiangyang in Nanjun were almost empty, and only the most elite troops and horses remained. And even so, except for the two counties of Jiangzhou and Shangyong, the soldiers of the rest of the counties have still not been replenished...... (To be continued......)
