Chapter 637: The Four Counties of Jingnan
"The four counties of Jingnan?"
Liu Bei, who was in Xiangyang, was very surprised, he didn't want Jiangxia Liu Qi to have such ambitions?
"It's the four counties of Jingnan!"
Zhuge Liang shook the goose feather fan in his hand slightly, and said leisurely: "Jiang Xia revealed the news over there, obviously trying to test the lord's reaction!" ”
"How do we react?"
"The four counties of Jingnan are also remote places, and it is nothing for Jiang Xiajun to take them!"
"If Jiangxia occupies the four counties of Jingnan, the territory is not small!"
"But the population and strength are still average, don't forget that there are still very prominent Hanyi contradictions in the four counties of Jingnan, which are not so easy to solve!"
"Okay, let's give Jiangxia a thorough explanation, let's wish them smooth sailing and success!"
Times have changed, and the four counties of Jingnan, which were regarded as life-saving straws by Liu Bei in normal history, are not taking it to heart at all now.
Liu Qi soon received the news from Xiangyang, greeted Liu Pan and Huang Zhong, who had been waiting for a long time, and said with a smile: "Since the opportunity is right, let's perform well, the four counties of Jingnan must go down in one go!" ”
"Rest assured, General Mou and General Hansheng are very familiar with the four counties of Jingnan, and we all know where and what the situation is!"
Liu Pan's face was full of joy, and he said confidently: "With the elite of our Jiangxia Army, it is quite easy to easily win the four counties of Jingnan!" ”
Huang Zhong nodded affirmatively, obviously very confident in this battle.
Liu Qi smiled slightly, and made a request: "One of the two generals must be the commander of the expedition, and when he captures the cities of the four counties of Jingnan, he will let the group of soldiers we recruit contribute!" ”
Wei Yan, Huo Jun and the others, it's time to come out......
Liu Pan was stunned for a moment, then nodded solemnly, and said in a deep voice: "What the envoy said is very true, and he will definitely not disappoint the envoy!" ”
Oh, it's been discussed in private.
Liu Qi was not angry, and smiled leisurely: "Then so-and-so will wait and see!" ”
……
Wei Yan, who was training the township soldiers in the countryside of Xiyang, suddenly received an order from the Taishou Mansion, and he was immediately full of joy and displeasure.
"Chief, congratulations!"
Partner Guan Zuo was envious in his heart, but he had no other negative emotions, Wei Yan's strength and performance were there, and it was reasonable to get the attention of the superiors earlier.
"Haha, you're welcome!"
Wei Yan didn't hide the joy in his heart, and said while packing his luggage: "Don't slack off, who knows when you will be valued by the top!" ”
"Don't worry, I won't relax my training for the township soldiers!"
"That's great!"
Wei Yan packed his luggage and hurried back to the county military camp where the Taishou Mansion was located with a few henchmen to report.
"Wei Wenchang is here!"
He was received by Liu Pan, the commander of the four counties of Jingnan, and after the meeting, he asked Wei Yan about the training of the township soldiers in the countryside.
Wei Yan didn't dare to slack off, and he bled up his spirits and explained clearly the situation of his training of the township soldiers in the countryside in every detail.
In the end, I couldn't help but say bitterly: "Don't hide it from the general, the township soldiers are all good men, and they are simple and easy to fiddle with, but the local heroes often interfere, which creates some trouble for the township soldiers' training!" ”
"Hmph, sooner or later, these guys will look good!"
Liu Pan nodded in approval and continued to ask: "Wen Chang, this time I transferred you back for two purposes!" ”
"First, you performed well during the training of the township soldiers, and the strength and performance of the township soldiers in the training of your department, as well as all aspects of the factors, are extremely outstanding!"
"On the other hand, I know that your cultivation is good and you already have the level of a first-class general, and it just so happens that this time General Ben has won the task of conquering the four counties of Jingnan, do you have the confidence and courage to take the position of pioneer!"
Wei Yan was overjoyed when he heard this, and he didn't think about expressing his position directly: "Don't worry, the general will definitely not disappoint the general!" ”
The position of the vanguard of the army is not so easy to do, at least there is enough strong force to do the foundation, which Wei Yan is very confident in.
Looking at the princes of the world, there are so many first-class generals with names and surnames.
As far as he knew, there were absolutely no first-class generals in the four counties of Jingnan.
On the other hand, it was easy for the vanguard of the army to obtain battle merits, which was definitely great news for Wei Yan.
Although I don't understand why Jiang Xiajun suddenly targeted the four counties of Jingnan, this is definitely a great opportunity for Wei Yan to get ahead.
"Okay, Wen Chang, it's good that you have confidence!"
Liu Pan nodded with satisfaction and advised: "I will give you 3,000 pioneers, you should get familiar with your subordinates as soon as possible, and wait for the order to go out!" ”
Wei Yan received the order with a happy face, and said a few more obedient words before leaving.
The character of this guy is the benchmark of Guan Yu, known as Xiao Guan Yu, which is caused by joining Liu Beijunzhong and being influenced by Guan Yu.
At present, Wei Yan is not as arrogant as Guan Yu, especially after experiencing the training of village soldiers in the countryside, his mentality is more calm and sophisticated, and it is impossible to imitate Guan Yu, a general in the army of others.
Liu Pan and Huang Zhong are not such arrogant people, they are gentle and kind, and Wei Yan is naturally affected.
At this time, the idol in his heart is Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng, who are cut off!
Besides, there are not so many strong people in Jiangxia's army, and with his strength, he can easily get ahead, and he doesn't need to set up a person to trap himself.
Not only was Wei Yan transferred back, but also Huo Jun, whose strength had also reached the level of a first-class general. He was also sent back to be trained as a seed general for the expedition.
Fortunately, because the Jiangxia army has developed a four-level military system, it pulls out the army from time to time for drills, and the disturbances have already made the surrounding people and other princes and spies familiar with it.
Therefore, this time, the transfer of outstanding talents, including Wei Yan and Huo Jun, as well as the various preparations for the county soldiers, did not attract special attention from the outside world, but I thought it was another internal training that cost the people and money.
As a result, when Liu Pan personally led 20,000 elite county troops, as well as 10,000 rural militia at the two levels, known as 50,000 troops, to attack Jingnan, Jiangdong Junchen was shocked.
The army traveled 300 miles a day, and the army was full of military spirit along the way, and the army was at its peak, long, and the sand county was long, and the sand city was broken in an instant, and it could not stop the advance of the army at all.
Long, Sha Taishou Han Xuanben still wanted to be reserved for a while, showing his strength so that he could sell it for a good price.
As a result, Wei Yan, as a pioneer, did not let it, this was a rare opportunity for him to serve as a pioneer general, and it was impossible to let go of the slightest opportunity to make meritorious contributions.
He personally led three thousand pioneers to arrive at Chang, under the sand city, and seeing that Han Xuan, the Taishou had no signs of surrendering, he immediately used the rolling military spirit of the three thousand vanguard men and horses to temporarily raise his strength to the rank of peerless fierce generals, and then suddenly flew up to the city tower.
Long, there is no general to guard Shacheng, and the consequences of being killed by Wei Yan and going to the city tower can be imagined.
Before Taishou Han Xuan could make the next reaction, he was killed by Wei Yan with a knife more than ten zhang apart.
As soon as Han Xuan died, the defenders on the city tower suddenly collapsed and surrendered, and Chang, Shacheng naturally fell into the control of the vanguard army.
Later, Liu Pan led the main force to come, and he didn't say anything when he heard that Han Xuan was killed.
Although the two cooperated during Liu Jingsheng's period, when Liu Jingsheng was seriously ill, Han Xuan stood on the side of the Jingzhou family and jointly asked Liu Pan to hand over the military power.
If Han Xuanren didn't die, Liu Pan could let him go. But since everyone is dead, what else is there to say?
I don't know if the Jiangxia army won the long, the sand was too smooth, or the soldiers were really sharp, and then Liu Pan turned to Lingling, and when he divided his troops between Wuling and Guiyang, he did not encounter any obstacles, and all of them were easily won.
Among them, Wuling Taishou Jin Xuan, Guiyang Taishou Zhao Fan, and Lingling Taishou Liu Du all surrendered obediently.
In accordance with Liu Qi's instructions, Liu Pan sent the three Taishou and their families to Jiangxia for resettlement as soon as possible, and Liu Qi arranged for another official appointment.
As for the four counties of Jingnan that took less than a month, all the four counties were temporarily under military management.
No matter what the outside thinks about the rapid movements of the Jiangxia army this time, Liu Qi and his henchmen know that the next governance of the four counties is the top priority, and they must not be careless.
The four counties of Jingnan have high mountains and dense forests, and the traffic is extremely backward, and the number of Han people is not much, but the number of Yi people is million.
Liu Qi is not like Liu Bei, since he has won the four counties of Jingnan, he will naturally start to develop and utilize it, and he will not just occupy it on paper.
In later generations, the four counties of Jingnan were completely developed as rare anointed places.
In particular, the two counties of Guiyang and Lingling are not far from each other, and even from the South China Sea.
Once the distance between Jingnan and the South China Sea is opened, the development of the entire four counties of Jingnan will not be the same.
Of course, the most important thing at the moment is to stabilize the order of the four counties in Jingnan......
After the implementation of military control, all the towns and cities controlled by the Jiangxia army in the four counties of Jingnan quickly restored order, but the atmosphere was a little more solemn.
In response to the Yiren in the four counties of Jingnan, the measures taken by Jiang Xiajun were to follow the past habits, not to increase the burden of the other party, nor to reduce the other party's taxes.
Liu Qi felt that it was better to maintain the status quo ante and not give the local Yi people a chance to toss around, at least the military government would not take the initiative to participate in it.
At the same time, in addition to the relevant information of the town, the military management government of the four counties vigorously collected specific information about the Yi people in the four counties of Jingnan.
For example, the cottage where they are located and the distribution of the population, as well as whether there are special means of attack and defense, as well as some special properties.
The effect is still quite obvious......
At least, after suddenly taking control of the four counties of Jingnan, the army responsible for maintaining order in the four counties did not break out into a fierce conflict with the cautious Yi people.
Even, because of the continuous delivery of all kinds of materials from Jiangxia, especially salt materials, attracted a lot of people to trade out of the mountains.
They were not deceived or exploited at the trading points set up by the military government, and slowly established initial trust.
It's not that there are no Yi tribes who want to get something for nothing, take the form of looting, and even have local powerful forces involved in it, and the result is naturally a bloody encounter.
Let's not talk about the dead, all the living captives were sent to the rest of the counties to participate in labor reform, and they didn't want to come back after ten or eight years.
Such a shock is enough for both the Yiren and the local heroes......
