In the autumn of the third year of the first peace, the white horse general Gongsun Zan was trapped in Yuyang County, and the general Zhao Yun of Shi Zhenwei, Guo Biao, the general of Huwei, and Zhang He, the general of the thief, surrounded him. That night, Gongsun Chan led 30,000 white horses to fight from the light horse, and attacked the Zhenwei general Zhao Yun's department at night, and the matter was defeated, Zan was beheaded by the Zhenwei general, and the rest were killed. ——— "The Legend of Zhao Yun, the Silver Dragon King"

Gongsun Zhan's last battle only left a few strokes in history, but in fact, the battle situation at that time was so dangerous that Zhao Yun almost overturned.

The 30,000 White Horse Yicong, as the last elite of Gongsun Zhan, has no doubt about his combat effectiveness.

Under the leadership of Gongsun Zhan, 30,000 people took advantage of the night to take advantage of the night to attack Zhao Yun's headquarters.

After a series of battles, Zhao Yun judged that Gongsun Chan had no strength to fight back, and couldn't help but relax his vigilance a little.

The 30,000 Bai Ma Yicong with a heart of determination gave Zhao Yun a good lesson, and let him understand what it means to mourn the victory of the soldiers.

30,000 people burst out with unparalleled combat effectiveness, easily tearing apart the outer defense line of Zhao Yun's department, Gongsun Zhan took the lead, straight to Zhao Yun's army, all the way!

Gongsun Zhan's real combat power was only a prefecture-level lower grade, but in this battle, he showed a strong combat effectiveness that was not inferior to the heaven-level upper grade, and he killed eight Zhao Yun's subordinate generals all the way, and once advanced the battle line to less than five miles away from Zhao Yunshuai's account.

At that time, the situation was very critical, Gongsun Chan was invincible, Bai Ma Yi's combat effectiveness was off the charts, and because it was night, the battalions and departments did not know the real battle situation at all, and the whole army was at risk of bombing the camp.

Zhao Yun was quick and decisive, on the one hand, he sent people to contact Guo Biao and Zhang He, and on the other hand, he issued orders to all departments to stabilize the situation, and at the same time gathered personal guards and personally led the team to snipe Gongsun Zhan.

That battle was earth-shattering, and Gongsun Chan played explosively, and once fought back and forth with Zhao Yun.

However, after all, there is a gap between the combat effectiveness after the bonus of this special state and the combat effectiveness that has been steadily improved, and hundreds of rounds of fierce battles have been fiercely fought, and in the end, it is Zhao Yunqi who is one step higher, and Gongsun Zan is in the battle array.

At this time, Guo Biao and Zhang He also led the army to support, and the three generals united to exterminate the stubborn White Horse Yicong.

It is worth mentioning that even during the war of Gongsun Zhan, no one from Baima Yixian surrendered or fled, and there was not a single one of the 30,000 people left, all of whom died in battle.

Although the battle did not last long, the intensity was extremely high, and in just over an hour, about 60,000 Shang soldiers were killed in battle, and it was extremely rare to have a negative exchange ratio of one to two.

This battle made Zhao Yun's heart palpitate, and even he was stunned at the beginning, because he didn't expect Gongsun Zhan to be beaten like this, and he could launch such a fierce counterattack, so that he was caught off guard.

If it weren't for the well-trained and high morale of the Shang army, it was really possible that the whole army would collapse because of this night raid.

However, with the failure of Gongsun Zhan's fight, Yuyang City was also self-defeating, and Li Su led a small number of remnants of the army to escape from Yuyang City and went south to Yuan Shao.

The rest of the army surrendered under the leadership of Tian Yu and Tian Kai.

By the way, Yan Gang, the first general under Gongsun Zhan, and Gongsun Zhan launched a decisive battle together, and finally died at the hands of Guo Biao.

With the war of Gongsun Zhan, the war in Youzhou came to an abrupt end, and many remote counties and counties that Zhao Yun had not had time to control for the time being also sent envoys to announce their uprising.

Jixian also opened the door and surrendered on the third day of Gongsun Zhan's death, and a royal city fell into the hands of Shang Ji without blood.

On the fifth day of Gongsun Zhan's death, the last city declared its allegiance to the Shang, and Youzhou was theoretically unified by the Shang.

Of course, similar to the situation in Qingzhou, it is also theoretical.

In fact, at this time, the heads of the merchants are all big!

Liu Yi and Zhao Yun were so capable, and their progress far exceeded Shang Ji's expectations, so much so that he was a little confused by the successive battle reports. Just when Zhao Yun and others were celebrating the capture of Yuyang City, Zhao Yun was discussing with Deng Yan and others how to solve the huge shortage of officials.

According to Deng Yan's estimates, they want to assign officials according to the existing standards in Pingzhou, that is, each county will arrange a human-level scribe with at least an A-level title to be the chief administrative officer, a super-first-class scribe with a B-level title or a human-level scribe without a title will be assigned to the county at the giant city level, a super-first-class scribe with a C-level title will be assigned to the county at the big city level, an ordinary super-first-class scribe will be assigned to the town in Zhongcheng County, a first-class scribe will be arranged in a small town, and a third-rate to first-class scribe will be assigned to the town in a small town according to the situation.

This is just the chief officer, and there can't be only one county guard in a county, right? The main official positions of the county officials, the chief officials, and the Sima can only be qualified by super-first-class scribes, and there is no need to mention the more basic officials.

There are more than 20 top-level scribes, nearly 2,000 super-first-class scribes, tens of thousands of first-class scribes, and nearly 100,000 third-rate scribes!

And the reserve officers that Shang Ji can provide at this time are less than one-fifth of the total demand!

"Hongzhu, what good can you do?"

Shang Ji looked at Deng Yan and asked.

"My lord, the gap is too big, with our current training capacity, it will take at least five years to train enough officials."

"No, no, five years is too long, we can't afford to wait." Shang Ji shook his head again and again after hearing this, after five years, the daylily will be cold, it is impossible for him to implement military management over Youzhou and Qingzhou for five years, right?

"My subordinates thought that we only had three ways at this time. First, the lord ordered to recruit the world's talents in the name of the general of the chariot and cavalry, and recruit the world's heroes for his own use. ”

"The second is to increase investment, strengthen our own hematopoietic function, and cultivate more qualified officials as soon as possible.

"And the third?" Shang Ji couldn't help but ask.

The first can only be said to be the golden mean, and it is simple to recruit talents from all over the world, but now the situation of the princes is basically fixed, and the real talents have long been scavenged by the local princes.

As for the second point, it's good, but it can't solve the urgent task!

"The third point is that my subordinates suggest that the officials of the two states should be fully secluded."

What do you mean by that? Tell me more about it. ”

"Lord!"

Deng Yan clenched his fists, cleared his throat and said: "The main reason why the lord does not trust the officials of Qingyou Erzhou is that many of them are from local backgrounds, either they are from the Haoqiangshi clan, or they collude with the Haoqiangshi clan to control the local area and bring disaster to the country and the people. ”

"Yes, these villains have no sense of rudeness, righteousness and shame, lust for profit, flattery and deception, exploit the people in every way, and knock out the bones and suck the marrow. Deceive the ignorance of the small people, trap the people by all kinds of inferior means, and want to turn the people under their rule into slaves, and work for them for free, so that they can spend their days and drinks. ”
