Chapter 190: Training in the River Valley Hiding a knife in a smile

Follow the Han River all the way to the east, and then turn from the tributary of the Han River to the south, and arrive outside the city of Shangyong in less than a day.

Like Xicheng, Shangyong is located next to the blocked water, and the city is built by the water.

Due to this characteristic, Shangyong City is surrounded by water on three sides, and what acts as a city wall is not earth and stone, but water fences.

Historically, after Meng Da occupied Shangyong, in order to repair the city defense of Shangyong, the water fence outside the three sides of Shangyong was expanded into a water village, which was regarded as a method of long-term stability.

It's a pity that in the case of the fall of Fangling City, the eastern gateway of Shangyong City, the so-called defensive measures of the siege of the water wall, under the offensive of Sima Yi, did not play a big role.

When Mi Yang led the army to reach the outside of the blocked water, he saw Shangyong City, which was surrounded by water fences, and said to Deng Aiyan on the side:

"The mediocre cannot be used as a place of governance."

This sentence shows that Mi Yang has the idea of governing Hanxing County and moving it to another place.

Historically, Liu Feng and Meng Da placed their main garrisons in Shangyong City, and the biggest reason was that they only wanted to protect the three eastern counties at that time.

Shangyong is located between the west city and the Fangling, there are two cities as the east and west arch guards, the terrain is the most dangerous, the most in line with their intentions of the place.

But Mi Yang's idea is different from theirs.

Mi Yang wants to be aggressive, and Hanxing County is a base for his future Northern Expedition, but it is also a springboard for him to go on the Northern Expedition in the future.

In this way, the best way to do this is to move the administrative office to Xicheng or Fangling.

Xicheng is close to the Meridian Valley, and Fangling is close to Nanyang, which are both relatively good directions for marching troops.

Facing Mi Yang's words, Deng Ai naturally understood Mi Yang's intentions, and he said to Mi Yang: "What the prince said is very true."

"However, this matter needs to wait until the Shen brothers are exterminated before making plans."

Deng Ai's words made Mi Yang nod slightly.

The Shen brothers are not removed, and it is always a hurdle that he can't get around.

At this time, Mi Yang stood on top of the building boat, looking not far from Shangyong City, there was a river valley that was washed out.

He saw that although the valley was surrounded by mountains and forests, the road leading to the outside was not narrow because of the blockage of water, which was conducive to the entry and exit of the army.

And its internal space is quite large, although it is not as large as some large river valleys, but it can accommodate more than 10,000 troops.

After Mi Yang saw that place, he pointed to that river valley and said to Deng Ai, "From tomorrow onwards, Shizai and Boqi will train in that river valley."

Under Mi Yang's instructions, Deng Ai's eyes also looked towards the river valley, and he also saw the geographical advantages of the river valley, who was well versed in the art of war.

The valley was out of the forest, but it wasn't just a pass.

In this valley, it is possible to prevent the probing of those who have a heart.

And because there is a road leading to the outside of the river valley, the terrain is wide, which is conducive to the formation of the army.

In addition, there is not only one passage to the outside world, so there is no fear that the enemy can hold the passage of the river valley and trap more than 10,000 troops in the river valley.

Moreover, there are many streams in the river valley, and the water source is abundant, which is indeed a good place for the garrison to train its troops.

Those who enter the valley with a large army have two taboos, one is that the water source is insufficient, and the other is that the valley mouth is narrow and terrifying, and it is easy to be besieged in the valley by the enemy.

….

Now that river valley has no drawbacks, and it is indeed a good place for military training.

As for why he didn't choose to train in Shangyong City, it was because normally the best place to train troops was in the field.

The terrain in the field is complex, which is closer to the real situation of the actual battlefield, and training troops in the field is conducive to the rapid growth of new soldiers.

During Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition in history, there were quite a few newly recruited recruits in the army.

So he camped outside the Pingguan Pass in Yangbei, practiced martial arts, and practiced the preparation of the soldiers for the Northern Expedition in the early stage.

After deciding on the location of the future training, Mi Yang took a group of cronies and 500 pro-troops and headed towards Shangyong City.

And when Mi Yang was away, Shen Tan, who was temporarily acting as a Taishou, was leading a group of county government officials at this time

Outside the city, Mi Yang waits.

After Shen Tan saw Mi Yang appear, he hurriedly stepped forward to Mi Yang, bowed to him, and handed over the Taishou Seal Silk Ribbon in his hand to Mi Yang.

Mi Yang asked Lu Yi on the side to take the seal, and then he entered Shangyong City with Shen Tan and a group of subordinates in Shangyong City.

The humble look on Shen Tan's face did not seem to be fake, on the one hand, he led Mi Yang towards Shangyong City, and on the other hand, he told Mi Yang about some political affairs that had happened in Hanxing County recently.

For these political affairs, Mi Yang mostly listened to them as jokes.

No matter how loyal Shen Tan was to Liu Bei, or how he was in awe of himself, his position would not change.

Xicheng is the base camp of Shen Yi, and Shangyong is the base camp of Shen Tan.

For Shen Tan, how could he tell Mi Yang the real situation in his base camp?

As for Shen Tan, he also presented a general book of household registration and acres of land, and for this general book full of water, Mi Yang just looked at it.

After Shen Tan led Mi Yang to the Taishou Mansion in Shangyong City, in the hall, Shen Tan immediately led a group of subordinates in the Taishou Mansion to pay homage to Mi Yang.

After leading many subordinates to visit Mi Yang, Shen Tan respectfully presented a list of the subordinates in the current Taishou Mansion, for this list, Mi Yang was a little interested.

Unfolding the bamboo slip in his hand, Mi Yang's eyes were all poured into this list.

Under Mi Yang's gaze, the atmosphere in the entire hall fell into a tranquility.

The subordinates in the hall looked at the courtiers who were on duty behind Mi Yang, and among those courtiers, they saw Meng Da, who was in Shangyong City before, and his status was only under Liu Feng.

When they saw Meng Da, who was in a high-ranking position before, was still standing behind Zhang Wei and the others, they couldn't help but have a great curiosity in their hearts about Deng Ai, Zhang Wei and others behind Mi Yang.

Although Deng Ai, Zhang Wei, Ding Feng, and Ding Feng are not from very good backgrounds, their appearances are quite in line with the aesthetic standards of the world.

As for Lu Yi, who grew up with a good education, he is even more dressed in wide clothes and sleeves, and has the style of a celebrity.

Without knowing the people behind Mi Yang, all the subordinates in the hall can only judge people by their appearance for the time being.

And after judging people by their appearance, they found that the number behind Mi Yang was extraordinary.

Also, Mi Yang is famous, how can he use some ordinary people as his subordinates?

….

Most of the subordinates in the hall can be said to be Shen Tan's cronies.

But at the same time, they have lived in officialdom for many years, and they have an unusual talent in observing words and feelings, and seeing the wind and steering the rudder.

Because of their awe of Mi Yang, they did not easily despise Mi Yang and those behind him.

The subordinates looked at the Mi Yang guards who surrounded the hall, and looked at them one by one, and their hearts were uneasy.

Historically, when the new monarch took office, if he wanted to make the government his own, the first thing was mostly to use his henchmen.

Use his own henchmen to replace all the officials who were in key positions in the original county government, so that he can initially achieve the goal of controlling the county government.

Under this concept, the subordinates in the hall watched Mi Yang staring at the list in contemplation, and their hearts were dripping.

[I have known an old book friend for ten years to recommend to me to chase books, @

After that, he finally spoke.

Mi Yang rolled up the bamboo slip, then put it aside, and then looked at Shen Tanyan and said, "All official positions are very proper."

As soon as Mi Yang's words came out, not only did the faces of the subordinates in the hall show a look of surprise, but also Shen Tan, who wanted to try his best to maintain a calm look, also had a trace of waves on his face.

Mi Yang's words revealed that he did not plan to carry out a large-scale personnel adjustment.

Looking at the changing expressions of Shen Tan and the subordinates of the county government in the hall, Mi Yang knew what they were worried about.

Compared with the general register of household registration that was full of moisture, the list of officials of the county government submitted by Shen Tan can be said to be full of dry goods.

After all, this matter cannot be concealed at all.

Mi Yang has a habit of collecting information, that is, to give priority to capturing key information, and among the county governments in charge of the government of a county, there are three positions that are the most important.

One is the Captain, who is in charge of the county soldiers of a county. One is Gong Cao, who is in charge of the personnel promotion of a county. The other is the main book, which is in charge of all the paperwork in the county.

And these three positions are all from the Shen clan at present.

After seeing this, Mi Yang knew what kind of situation it was in Hanxing County today.

It can be said that the decision-making power of the whole county is not in the hands of him, the titular Hanxing County Taishou, but in the hands of Shen Tan, the "Shangyong County Magistrate".

This is the norm in the local area today.

For example, in the previous proverb, Runan is too shou Zongzi and Nanyang is too shou Chengjin.

Since the two of them can hold the position of Taishou, they must also be famous for a while, with many protégés and former officials.

But in the end, they ended up with one master and one but sitting down, not because the two of them didn't want to be in power, but because the key positions in the county government were controlled by the local wealthy families.

….

In such a situation, no matter how famous Zongzi and Cheng Jin are, they can only end up being hollowed out.

Now Mi Yang is facing the same situation as Zongzi and Chengjin.

Of course, it is the power of Taishou to get rid of the county officials, but even if Mi Yang now orders to replace the three positions of Du Lieutenant, Gong Cao, and Chief Clerk with his people, if there is no auxiliary left by a group of grassroots clerks, then the people replaced by Mi Yang will inevitably end up being hollowed out.

The Taishou relied on these three positions to rule the whole county, and the people who held these three positions relied on the scribes below to help them function.

Most of the clerks in the county government are locals.

For the locals, they are basically supporters of the local wealthy families.

The local tycoons intervened and even took power with the help of the scribes who supported them.

With the help of the local influence of the wealthy clans, the scribes were able to enter the county or county government.

And they used the influence of the Hao clan in the local area to make the documents of the county government unimpeded in the local area, and achieved a kind of "county administration" beautified in the history books.

It's a strong partnership and investment relationship.

Under this relationship, a political circle of the Eastern Han Dynasty was formed, going around and around, and if the foreign Taishou wanted to take charge of the whole county, he finally needed the assistance of the local wealthy family.

Under the condition that this relationship is not destroyed, it is useless for Mi Yang to insert many people into the county government.

Since it is useless, Mi Yang might as well let it go for the time being.

Otherwise, if the security *** people are forced, not only will the goal of controlling the county government be achieved, but it may also arouse the vigilance of the Shen brothers and cause a strong backlash from them.

After Shen Tan listened to Mi Yang's words, although he was surprised in his heart, he was not without joy.

At this time, he remembered the performance of Mi Yang that Shen Yi had told him in the letter, and he began to know more about Mi Yang in his heart.

It's just that Shen Tan still symbolically bowed to Mi Yang and asked, "At present, most of the officials in the county government are mostly appointed by Liu Feng.

The governor had not yet arrived, so in order to stabilize the county government, no changes were made."

"Now that the prince of the government has arrived, if there is anything you want to change the personnel, please make it clear,

I will do my best to help."

Meng Da, who was behind Mi Yang, heard Shen Tan say this, and called Shen Tan shameless in his heart.

At the beginning, after he and Liu Feng took charge of the county, they wanted to change the personnel.

As a result, as soon as they installed their own people in the county government, the county government in Shangyong City was in chaos on the second day.

In view of this situation, Liu Feng and he had no choice but to give up their plan to rashly install their henchmen.

As a result, now Shen Tan is embarrassed to say that the current official positions in the county government are arranged by Liu Feng, which is really enough to reverse black and white.

But seeing Shen Tan's presence, Meng Da did not rashly come out to expose Shen Tan's true face.

It's just that although Meng Da didn't say it, Mi Yang didn't believe a word of Shen Tan's words.

Although Shen Tan was respectful on the surface, Mi Yang heard two meanings from Shen Tan's words.

First, rash personnel changes will cause instability in county administration.

Second: If you want to change personnel, you need his help.

It is worthy of the Shen clan who almost developed into the patriarch of the Shen clan of the local princes.

Although Shen Tan is not as poisonous as Shen Yi who hides in the shadows and spits letters, he is like a fox with a knife in his smile.

This kind of old fox is sometimes more difficult to deal with than the poisonous snake like Shen Yi.

No wonder in history, Liu Feng and Meng Da were played by these brothers, and the poisonous snake and the fox worked together, which really cannot be underestimated.

Facing Shen Tan's false suggestion, Mi Yang showed a smile on his face, and he pushed the boat to Shen Tan and said:

"Since Shen Jun said so, then I have an idea in my heart."

After saying this, Mi Yang called Lu Yi behind him and said to Lu Yi: "From now on, Ji Yang will be the county of this Hanxing County."

Faced with Mi Yang's arrangement, Lu Yi immediately bowed to Mi Yang: "You receive your order."

As soon as Mi Yang's words came out, there was a small commotion in the hall.

Didn't Fang Cai Fujun have no intention of transferring personnel?

And when Shen Tan originally heard Mi Yang's intention to change the personnel in the county, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.

But then he heard that Mi Yang was arranging for Lu Yi to take the position of county leader, and the jealousy in his heart gradually disappeared.

After Mi Yang appointed Lu Yi as the county governor of Hanxing County, he said to Lu Yi on the spot: "In the future, Ji Yang will be responsible for the mobilization of the grain and grass of my army."

After Mi Yang said this, the jealousy in Shen Tan's heart not only disappeared completely, but a smile appeared in his eyes.

Mi Han.
