The two sides had already sat down, and Song Zhong bowed down and hugged his fists and said to Li Tang:

"Congratulations to the general, congratulations to the general. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 General info defeated the strong with the weak, and overnight, he won the million yellow turbans in one fell swoop and recaptured the starting point city, which is definitely a masterpiece of the world! ”

Li Tang was praised and was a little embarrassed, so he had to say:

"Lord Song praises it falsely! The kid is just opportunistic! When the boy built the city, in order to make it easier to escape, he left a secret passage, and by chance, let the kid enter the city along the secret passage and steal the city. Retaking the city is just luck, it's just a fluke, it's nothing! ”

"Ugh! General Ye was too modest. Being able to leave a secret passage, and then feint to attack the moon, and then break the city overnight, is definitely a strategy, and it is definitely not something that ordinary people can imagine! ”

Song Zhong's words were full of sincerity, and then he paused, and then continued:

"My family Assassin Shi learned that General Ye had made the first contribution to breaking the yellow scarf, so he ordered me to come to congratulate him, and sent wine, meat, and silver money to reward the meritorious people. At the same time, award the general you are the official rank of the fifth grade, in addition, the official position quota is given from the fifth grade 1, the sixth grade 3, from the sixth grade 10, the seventh grade 20, the quota can be rewarded by the general, and then report to Jingzhou City! ”

Li Tang was overjoyed when he heard this, and he recaptured the city, and he had already made a large number of profits, but now he is receiving gifts and getting promoted.

Sure enough! As for people, they can't be too honest and kind.

If Li Tang cares about the people and can't bear to sacrifice the lives of others, where can he recapture the starting point city? Where will there be opportunities for promotion and fortune?

Therefore, if you want to be promoted and make a fortune, you have to kill people and set fires!

If you become famous for killing people and setting fires, someone will come to the door to give you an official position! And before, he was dedicated to the starting point city, and he got an official position with the highest rank from the sixth grade, and the difference between them can be imagined.

Li Tang never thought that Xu Xuan would give him an official position, in fact, he just used those official positions that were useless to himself to entrap Li Tang, hoping that Li Tang would work hard for himself, and Li Tang seemed to be very addicted to this!

"General Ye is also from Zhangling County, Nanyang County! is not talented, and he happens to be the general's fellow countryman, General Ye is now the pride of our Zhangling County! Yesterday, Lord Thorn Shi wanted to come to the general in person, and when he heard about it, he immediately volunteered to come to this errand, hoping to see the general's heroic appearance! When I saw it today, it was really extraordinary!

Now, our hometown of Zhangling County is being attacked by the Yellow Turban Army, and Lord Assassin Shi hopes that someone can pacify the Yellow Turban Army in Zhangling County. Therefore, the old man hoped that the general, for the sake of the villagers, would be able to save the people from fire and water. If the general can quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Zhangling County, the old man is willing to promote the general as the commander of Zhangling County and take charge of a county. ”

Unexpectedly, this Song Zhong is still a native of Zhangling, Nanyang, but Li Tang's hometown. It can be seen that this Xu Xuan has good intentions in order to win over Li Tang and support Li Tang!

In fact, Li Tang only knew that Song Zhong was his fellow countryman, and he didn't know that this Song Zhong was also a bull in history! First of all, he was a great Confucian in the late Han Dynasty, and he was full of peach and plums. Not only is he a historical general, but even several of his students are historical generals. However, his knowledge is good, and his strategy is poor!

Fortunately, Li Tang didn't know that Song Zhong was a historical general, otherwise, he would definitely have to detain him in the starting point city, and then bargain with Xu Xuan to ask for this person.

Song Zhong's suggestion really hit Li Tang's heart. Li Tang originally wanted to make contributions on the mainland, but he was suffering from the strength of his troops and could not be mobilized at will.

Therefore, they only dared to release more than 300,000 troops, and did not dare to release more.

Now, with such a great opportunity, how can I miss it? As for Xu Xuan's calculations, don't say that Li Tang didn't see it, even if he saw it, Li Tang wouldn't care.

As for the journey from Jingzhou City to Zhangling County, the distance is less than 8,000 miles, and at the speed of 200 miles of marching every day, it will take more than a month to rush from the pipeline.

If it were all cavalry, it would have been even faster. And Li Tang marched, naturally with all the cavalry, one person and two horses, estimated 1,000 miles a day, very easy.

"You don't know, sir! I also heard that my hometown was looted by the Yellow Turban Thieves, and the villagers were all suffering, and I had already thought of crusading against them. It's a pity! As the saying goes, soldiers and horses go first before they move grain and grass, and most of my men are cavalry, and people eat horses and chew every day, which costs a lot of money!

It was precisely because I couldn't drag it out anymore that I made a desperate bet and took the risk of attacking the starting city. Nowadays, there is a shortage of food and salary in our army, and there is a desire to beg for thieves, but there is also a lack of power! ”

Li Tang knows that crying children have milk to drink, so he doesn't complain about bitterness!

"This ...... The general lacks food and salary, so naturally he can't send troops, and I think Lord Assassin Shi can also understand it. However, if I can convince Lord Assassin to provide food, will the general be able to lead the army to set out? ”

"That's nature. However, I led the army to Zhangling County, so I naturally dealt with the defenders in the county. If, at that time, they do not cooperate with me and give random commands, will I obey or not? Lord Assassin promised me that I would be in charge of Zhangling County after the city was broken, if the original county magistrate of Zhangling County was unwilling to give up his position, secretly stumbling and dragging me back, what should I do? If not, Lord Thorn Shi can make me the county order of other cities, so presumably this Zhangling county order will cooperate with me wholeheartedly! ”

Li Tang has thrown out an excuse that is not an excuse, the purpose is to get an official!

Although, Li Tang now has to be crowned the captain of the fifth grade, which is several levels higher than the seventh rank county order. However, the county order was an official position with real power, and it governed the territory of the Han Dynasty.

And Li Tang's Wupin Lieutenant was originally the deputy in charge of soldiers and horses in the county town, and compared with the main county guard, there was a big difference in power.

After all, the number one is the emperor at any time, and the second and third leaders are eunuchs and maids, and the difference in status can be imagined.

What's more, Li Tang's official position as a lieutenant is also in name only, because the lieutenant has to be hung in a county town to have a role.

Therefore, on the whole, this small seven-pin county order is still very attractive to Li Tang.

After all, this is an official position with real power, with official positions, land, and people.

Speaking of which, don't look at the area of the entire Han Dynasty has increased by 1,000 times, but the number of county-level cities is not much more than that of later generations, that is, more than 2,000. It is said that there are many more villages and towns than in later generations!

Speaking of county seats, there are many counties under Li Tang's name.

However, there is no county seat that can compete with any small county town in the territory of the Han Dynasty. There are three differences:

First, there is a distinction between actual and legal territories in the system city. The actual territory, that is, the territory that is called in everyday life. Like Li Tang's city, the village has the territory of the village, and the town has the territory of the town, but the area is different.

The actual territory of the player's city is limited in shape, not too small, and the area is capped. However, there is no limit to the shape of the actual territory of the system city, and the shape of his actual territory may be along a canyon, a long and narrow one, or it may stretch out its tentacles on all sides like an octopus, which is the advantage of the system city.

Second, if there is an upper limit on the actual territory area of the player's city, it can only be less than more. However, the actual territorial area of the system city is related to the legal area, and forms a proportional relationship with the legal area, that is, one-tenth of the legal territorial area. In this way, the territory area of the system city is generally much larger than that of other territories! To build villages and towns in these places, they can be built without a village construction order.

The territory of the player's city is small. Although it is also possible to build villages and towns within the territory outside the city without the need to build a village order, after all, it cannot radiate too far, and the use is far less than that of a system city.

Third, there is the theory that the system city has a legal territory. What is a legal territory, simply put, the area assigned to you on the map is the legal territory of your city.

Generally speaking, the player city can only collect taxes on the actual territory. However, system cities can collect taxes on their legal territory.

The amount of this tax varies greatly!

However, there is also a disadvantage to the system city, that is, as long as it is, the villages, towns, and cities owned by the aborigines within the legal territory cannot be upgraded. For example, the system county, he is in the legal territory of the system county, and it cannot be upgraded.

However, all the player's villages and towns do not have this restriction, and they can be upgraded at will, as long as the conditions are met.

Therefore, the system city is not necessarily good, and the player city is not necessarily bad.

Anyway, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the system is still fair.

The player establishes a village, which cannot be built within the actual territory of the system city, which is a wedding dress for the system city.

However, if the player captures the system city, then the system city immediately becomes the player's city, and the area and shape of the actual territory will not change, and even the tax collection right of the legal territory will be there, and at the same time gain the ability to upgrade.

If the player builds a city in a place outside the country, such as Li Tang's Linhai City, because Li Tang is from Zhangling County, then the territory of all the cities under the jurisdiction of Linhai City is the legal territory of Zhangling County, and Zhangling County can collect taxes from Li Tang.

Therefore, if Li Tang takes Zhangling County, he can evade taxes openly and honestly without causing disputes.

Li Tang thought about beautiful things in his heart, and asked Song Zhong to be an important official. This Song Zhongben is also a loyal scholar, although he is also accustomed to serving as an envoy, but it is rare to meet a naked and faceless person like Li Tang, but there is no way, so he has to say:

"This matter should not be difficult, wait for me to meet Lord Assassin Shi, report to him, and let him decide."
