After learning about the latest arming situation in Guanzhong, Zhang Xi's biggest task to the Baochuan crossing was completed.

In the remaining few days, Zhang Xi inspected many camps at the Baochuan crossing, inspected military defenses, and inspected grain, grass, and ordnance.

Although Zhang Xi also believes in Chen Zhi's level of military governance, there are some things that must be done, and he can't give up his responsibilities because of a word of trust.

After all the inspections were completed, Zhang Xi took his entourage and returned to Hanzhong along the Bao ramp.

As for Liu Yin, he was still in the army under Chen Zhi, and Zhang Xi had no intention of taking him away.

It's not that Zhang Xi didn't take a fancy to Liu Yin, on the contrary, Zhang Xi's impression of Liu Yin is actually very good.

After getting along in the past few days, Zhang Xi found that Liu Yin is an introverted person, calm and resourceful, and not only has a good military vision, but he also has quite excellent governance ability.

Now Liu Yin is responsible for all the logistics management matters of the defenders at the Baochuan crossing, and in theory, Liu Yin should be very busy, but Liu Yin can still accompany Zhang Xi to inspect the whole process, but he will not delay the operation of the army.

It can be seen that this person's efficiency in handling military and government affairs.

Coupled with the great name left by Liu Yin in history, Zhang Xi certainly wants to promote and reuse Liu Yin, but this is not a matter of Zhang Xi's simple words.

Although the current talent selection system of the Ji and Han dynasties is still carried out in a combination of the probation system and the requisition system, because the imperial court has set up three provinces and six ministries, this talent selection is a matter under the management of the Ministry of Rites.

Local officials can inspect and promote talents according to the old practice, and local governors can also recruit talents, but there is a premise in this, that is, they must be reported to the Ministry of Rites, and after the talents have been inspected by the Ministry of Rites, they will be uniformly reported to the Zhongshu Province, which will adjudicate on them.

This is Liu Bei's attempt to strengthen the centralization of power, and the practice of digging corners of the dual monarchy in this era Local officials still have the right to observe and recruit talents, but these talents must be recognized by the central government before they can be formally appointed, in order to prevent local officials from forming a party and sitting on the throne.

Therefore, if Zhang Xi wants to recruit and promote Liu Yin, he must first recommend to the Ministry of Rites and let Liu Yin go to Chengdu to meet the people of the Ministry of Rites.

Considering that Xu Jing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is too old, he has been in office for a year, and he has been recuperating at home for half a year, and he doesn't know how long he can last, so the check of this talent assessment is the responsibility of the left and right attendants of the Ministry of Rites.

And when Liu Yin passes the talent assessment, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites will submit the assessment results to Zhuge Liang, and after Zhuge Liang reads and agrees, he will hand it over to Fa Zheng of Shangshu Province, and Fa Zheng will be transferred to Qin Mi of the Ministry of Officials, so that Qin Mi can arrange official positions as appropriate.

Although the process is a bit troublesome, this is also decentralization, and Liu Bei, as the emperor, can intervene at any node in these links, once Liu Bei takes a fancy to which talent, he can directly "pull out".

This is tantamount to strengthening the centralization of power and weakening local power.

It's just that you have to trouble Liu Yin, go to Chengdu first, or simply wait, and when Liu Bei arrives in Hanzhong to prepare for the Northern Expedition, Zhang Xi will recommend it to Liu Bei in person.

Liu Yin eventually chose the latter. Chen Zhi is also kind to him, Liu Yin is very affectionate, and wants to stay and continue to help Chen Dao, after all, the importance of the slope crossing, Liu Yin sees it very clearly.

Chen Zhi was very happy, and Zhang Xi also respected Liu Yin's choice, so he went back to Hanzhong alone.

After returning to Hanzhong, Zhang Xi continued to carry out other affairs after he came to Hanzhong, convened the training of the county soldiers in advance, went to Zhuge Liang and Huang Quan to coordinate the construction of the military camp and the preparation of grain and grass, and inspected the arsenal for more than a month.

In this more than a month, Hanzhong began to prepare for the autumn harvest, and Fa Zheng, Pang Tong, Wu Yi and others also arrived in Hanzhong one after another.

It is impossible for Liu Bei to set off to Hanzhong immediately, after all, Liu Bei is the emperor now, and his identity is different, even if he wants to drive the imperial expedition in person, he must finish the edict of crusading against Cao Wei, and then set off to Hanzhong.

Therefore, the preparatory work in the early stage is all done by the courtiers, especially Fa Zheng and Pang Tong, who are responsible for formulating the strategic plan for the Northern Expedition.

As soon as these two arrived in Hanzhong, they immediately found Zhuge Liang, Zhang Xi, and Huang Quan, and began to understand the specific situation of Hanzhong, Baoxie Crossing, Yongzhou, and Liangzhou.

Over there, Zhang Xi has been there in person, so the story is very detailed, here in Hanzhong, Huang Quan's two years of Hanzhong Taishou are not in vain, and various situations are also described in detail.

As for Yongzhou and Liangzhou, the distance is too far, only documents are transmitted, and all kinds of information will be gathered in Hanzhong, but what can be specifically analyzed from the middle depends on the actual ability of the person in charge of this work.

Fortunately, the person who always grasps this work is Zhuge Liang.

From small intelligence to Yongzhou, Liangzhou's military deployment, people's livelihood recovery, and foreign movements, the final convergence point of these documents is the Zhongshu Province controlled by Zhuge Liang.

That is, Zhuge Liang has this ability, from people's livelihood to military affairs, and can also analyze more useful information from small intelligence.

In the past two years, although Cao Wei has lost most of Yongliang, Cao Wei has never given up the idea of recovering Yongliang.

Especially when Cao Ren was stationed in Chang'an, Cao Wei sent a lot of fine works to contact the Yongliang wealthy clan or foreign races, trying to create turmoil in Yongliang, so that the Han could not gain a foothold in Yongliang.

One thing to say, this trick is not new, but it does work.

After all, the Han Dynasty had just conquered Yongliang, but on the contrary, Cao Wei had ruled Yongliang for four or five years, and it was hard to say that the people were popular for a while.

In addition, the assassin of Yongzhou is Ma Chao, this person has a little hatred with the major wealthy families in Yongzhou, and Liangzhou is notoriously capricious. If you are not careful, you are at risk of civil unrest.

When Yongliang was just taken, Cao Ren's trick was actually quite useful, the Qiang people in Yongzhou Longxi, Liangzhou Xiping, Jincheng and other places have rebelled, and the Haoqiang Wang clan in Yongzhou Longxi has also rebelled, and those restless lords in Liangzhou, such as Ko Yan, Huang Hua and others, also used the excuse of dissatisfaction with Xu Miao's rule and rebelled again.

Although these events brought certain obstacles to Liu Bei's group's rule of Yongliang, they did not cause much turmoil, and even when the news reached Chengdu, these rebellions had been quelled.

The Qiang people were in turmoil, Ma Chao just took a few hundred guards to the territory of the Qiang people, and asked if any of you still have any opinions, the Qiang people said, no opinion, we absolutely have no opinion, we are just to get some benefits from Cao Wei's second fool, so we are just making a show, and we never dare to really violate the territory of General Shenweitian.

The Qiang rebellion was pacified.

The rebellion of the Wang family in Longxi County, although it also once connected some families in Longxi County. But one thing to say, the Wang family is not the status of the leading boss in Longxi.

The families of these years, no one is more stupid than anyone else, your Wang family wants to rebel, and my Li family is not necessarily. Therefore, before the people of the Longxi Wang clan officially raised troops, a family had already told Longxi Taishou You Chu.

You Chu is not only capable enough, but also has enough heart, he was stunned and watched the Wang family prepare step by step, and he reported to Wei Yan, and when the Wang family just raised troops, Wei Yan had already led the troops to surround the Wang family.

The Wang clan of Longxi rebelled, and they didn't even make a splash, so they were extinguished by You Chu and Wei Yan together.

In Yongzhou, in the face of these rebellions, they were basically coerced and suppressed, but in Liangzhou, this style of painting has changed a little.

Koji Yan, Huang Hua betrayed Zhang Jin and surrendered to Zhao Yun when Zhao Yun attacked Liangzhou last time, so he retained his power and status, and became the governor of a county as he wished.

But as Zhao Yun became the assassin of Liangzhou, and by the way, he brought another Xu Miao to drive Liangzhou, and the two of them were simply a natural match.

Zhao Yun himself is a relatively introverted character, not the kind of reckless man who can't listen to advice, nor is he the kind of novice who has no actual experience in governance, he has his own ideas and opinions.

As for Xu Miao, what he is most afraid of is that he will encounter a chief official who does not make sense and cannot be explained, after all, he is a general, he is still a civil official, and Zhao Yun is not only a chief official, but also a military general.

Xu Miao was really afraid that Zhao Yun was the kind of master who insisted on going his own way.

As a result, as soon as the two came into contact with each other, they found that although one was a military general, Corporal Lixian could humbly listen to the opinions of his subordinates, and the other was a civilian official, but he was not the kind of family straw bag, and all the suggestions were very practical and reasonable.

The brainwaves of these two were instantly matched, and the cooperation was quite pleasant.

But you are in Liangzhou, and the cooperation of the senior officials is happy, and the local county guards below are uncomfortable.

Liangzhou is a place that focuses on a rebellion, saying that it is a state, but in fact, it is just an alliance composed of separatist forces in various counties, who wants to have more mothers-in-law on their heads? !

Ko Yan and Huang Hua only want glory and wealth, they only want power and interests, and no one wants to listen to the words of Liangzhou Thorn History and Liangzhou Don't Drive.

So the two of them were dissatisfied first, then complained, and finally used the excuse that Xu Miao was too oppressive, and directly rebelled.

Zhao Yun really doesn't want to use soldiers, Liangzhou has been fighting for years, and the people have been working hard, so it should be time to recuperate. In order to recuperate, Zhao Yun even pushed back the formation of cavalry troops that Liu Bei urgently needed, just so as not to increase the burden on the people of Liangzhou.

Zhao Yun, like Xu Miao, hopes to use a more relaxed way to relieve the pressure on Liangzhou and resume production in Liangzhou as soon as possible.

Therefore, the two of them actually consciously adopted a more tolerant attitude towards Liyan and Huang Hua, and even acquiesced in their use of separatist rule to govern the state and county.

As a result, these two are not satisfied.

Then don't toss anymore and solve it all at once.

Although Zhao Yun and Xu Miao hope for Huairou, these two are not indecisive people.

On the contrary, whether it is Zhao Yun or Xu Miao, they are actually decisive people, and their hearts are hard, and they will definitely not be soft.

In addition, the new captain Pang De, who has not had any chance to perform since he took office, didn't he and Huang Hua send their military merits very intimately.

Liangzhou rebellion, pacified!
