Whether it is the generals or the feudal officials who are destined to get a piece of the pie, they have a feeling of "joy when they hear the war" about the fact that the Dutian Order will be issued to the world.

They all knew that with the gradual unification of the Han Dynasty and the more stable situation in the world, the possibility of them obtaining military exploits would continue to decline, and the possibility of war would also continue to decline.

And for the generals, or for the local feudal officials, if they lose the war, their fastest way to get credit is gone.

Generals need to be promoted for military merit, soldiers need to be rewarded for their military exploits, and some of the administrative officials led by the feudal officials can also get merit through logistics, so as to be promoted.

Promotion through military merit is the fastest way to be promoted, and the possibility of being promoted by fighting a hearty battle is far greater than the possibility of being promoted by accumulating political achievements at the local level.

As Liu Bei improved the promotion mechanism and the guarantee of the army, the situation of the Han army being happy when he heard the war was getting closer and closer to the state of the Qin army.

But at the same time, with the gradual decline of civil wars, many officers and soldiers are actually not very emotionally positive.

Because of the lack of early warning of war, except for the troops of the Jiangnan Military Region and the Xishu Military Region, they can still maintain a full mood, and the troops in many places are even a little slack in training, feeling that they cannot find an opponent, and no matter how hard the training is, it is meaningless.

And this Dutian action is tantamount to a shot in the arm for them.

The war is still going on, there is still war to be fought, and the world is not completely safe.

However, this situation cannot be sustained, and Operation Dutian is equivalent to releasing more than 90% of the destabilizing factors of the entire Han Empire at one time, which will make them concentrate on the outbreak, but at the same time, once resolved, it will also put most of the Han Empire into a stable state for a long time.

This is a good opportunity for development, but for the army, it is a very depressing thing.

Therefore, after the end of Jiangbei Dutian, in addition to the Jiangnan Military Region and the Xishu Military Region, as well as the Northeast Military Region that supervises Liaodong, Liu Bei has to think about a better place for the troops of the other three military regions.

Continuing to settle in the war-free areas of the Central Plains is not a good thing for these troops.

Therefore, Liu Bei considered whether to send troops from non-war areas to war areas to rotate operations.

However, this is not a simple matter, there may be a war in the northeast, but the lead is eyeing it.

There may also be a war in the southwest, but Liu Sheng and the people are not vegetarians.

Not to mention Yangzhou, Guan Yu is a great god.

Even in the northwest, where war may occur, there is also the war madman Zhang Fei.

They weren't the ones who were happy to share their exploits with others, unless...... There are also some unexpected situations that they cannot take into account, so that it is convenient to dispatch other troops to solve them.

Liu Bei was thinking about whether to wait for the time to launch an all-round attack on the Western Regions, or an all-out attack on the southern part of Yizhou, so as to meet the short-term needs of the army, but just as he wanted to sleep, someone handed him a pillow.

On the seventh day of the second month of the first year of Zhenguan, Liu Hui visited Liu Bei and brought a message to Liu Bei.

"There is Xianglin County in the south of Rinan County, more than two years ago, Gongcao of Xianglin County, which is also a local area, gathered thousands of local people to rebel, killed officials, invaded Xianglin County, and proclaimed himself king, the situation is very bad and Rinan County is poor, the military is insufficient, and it is difficult to suppress."

"Two years ago?"

When Liu Bei heard the news, he was a little surprised and wondered: "Why didn't I know about what happened two years ago until now?" Thousands of local people are in turmoil, why doesn't Jiaozhou solve it? What does Zhu Fu eat? Does he still want to do it? ”

"It sounds simple, but our people only realized that the situation was not too simple after we passed."

Liu Hui said slowly: "Although Rinan County has been established for hundreds of years, but it is located in a remote area, even if there are trade benefits, local governance is quite limited, Emperor Wu has migrated tens of thousands of criminals to settle in Rinan County, and the local Han people are all descendants of prisoners.

Therefore, there are generally no serious people to settle down, the number of local Han people is scarce, and the vast majority of them are natives, in order to govern the local area, they have to recruit natives into the government to assist in governance, in order to maintain stability, so the natives also have a lot of power in the local area. ”

"This is not a reason for Jiaozhou not to solve this matter."

Liu Bei shook his head and said, "I don't believe that he has a huge Jiaozhou and can't deal with a district company." ”

"A district is easy to deal with, but if it provokes a comprehensive resistance of the local natives, not only Rinan County, but also Jiuzhen County will be in danger, the number of local Han troops is indeed small, and the number of natives is too much, very cunning, it is difficult to deal with, in the past hundreds of years, there have been many rebellions in Rinan County, and each pacification has cost the court a lot of money, and the process is not very calm."

Liu Hui said helplessly: "To be precise, the Jiaozhou side doesn't think that a Xianglin County is worth their big fight, and it is really a bit dangerous to take the risk of Rinan County and Jiuzhen County being attacked to recover Xianglin County, so they have not acted, nor have they reported to the imperial court, thinking that the imperial court will not know."

And at that time, the imperial court was indeed quite chaotic, and you were busy fighting against the modern literary school, fighting in the south and the north, and even if you knew about it at that time, you probably didn't have the extra strength to solve this matter, and it was too far away. ”

What Liu Hui said is of course reasonable, but watching the land fall and doing nothing is not Liu Bei's style of doing things.

So Liu Bei shook his head.

"Every inch of the national territory was bought by the blood of the ancestors, whether it was Lu Bode when Emperor Xiaowu was Emperor Xiaowu or Ma Yuan when Emperor Guangwu was in power, many of the soldiers under their command died in the local area and preserved the territory!

In such a blood-soaked territory, not an inch can be spared, otherwise it will be disrespectful to the ancestors! For such a territory, we should fight for every inch of land! Every inch of land counts! How can you give up easily? Zolian, very good, very good! ”

Liu Bei took a deep breath and sentenced this person to death in his heart.

When Liu Hui heard this, he swallowed his saliva, and secretly read the eulogy for Ou Lian in his heart.

Who made you blind and provoked our family?

Wait for you to die.

"Who is the current Nichinan Commander?"

Liu Bei flipped through a roster in front of him, searched and searched, but did not find any information about the Rinan County Guard.

"It is said that the former Nichinan Gun Shou died in office, and after that, there was no new Nichinan Gun Keeper in office, and at present, Nichinan County is not too guarded, only don't drive in the county affairs, barely maintain the situation."

Liu Bei nodded.

"Ninan County must not give up, I will select a shrewd and capable official to serve as the Ninan Taishou, and I will also be equipped with a county military captain, give priority to Rinan County with these personnel, and stabilize the situation in Ninan County first......"

Saying this, Liu Bei opened another roster, flipped through it, and selected a candidate.

"Just let him go."

Liu Bei picked up a piece of paper and looked at it, and then handed it to Liu Hui to read.

Liu Hui took a look at it, and it showed the biographical information of a young official named Fa Zheng.

He ...... May I? ”

Liu Hui was a little surprised: "He is only twenty years old, although he is an outstanding student who has graduated from Liangzhou Prefecture School and is still your disciple, but can he be the county guard now?" ”

Liu Bei nodded.

"The situation in Rinan County needs a shrewd and capable young and strong official to deal with it, although Fa Zheng is young, his resume is still okay, and he already has the experience of serving as a county magistrate, there will be no problems in his ability, I have confidence in him."

Liu Hui didn't say anything more.

After that, Liu Bei chose a good candidate for the lieutenant of the county soldiers for Rinan County.

"Ma Chao? O son of General Ma Zhonglang, he is also ...... Your disciple? ”

"Well, he's also a young man I'm quite optimistic about, with a lot of momentum, but also calm, I think he's a good fit."

Liu Bei said slowly: "Rinan County is the southernmost point of the Han Dynasty and the extreme realm of the Han Dynasty, for the Han Dynasty, it is both a façade and a face, if Rinan County can't be saved, and it can't be countered by someone in the face, it will only make the natives over there in Rinan County more rampant."

Whether it is Lu Bode or Ma Yuan, the territory is determined through war, and at the moment, Ninan County has been challenged again, and it is when we need to use war to solve it, we must not treat it as if it never happened, and I will take care of it. ”

"That's true, but are they too young to handle the situation?"

Liu Hui said slowly: "Although the Ninan natives can't say that there is anything they can fight, but in the end, they are all local snakes, familiar with the local climate, roads, and the help of many familiar local natives, so it is too difficult for two young people to deal with such a problem, right?" ”

Liu Bei thought about it and nodded.

"What you said also makes sense, since this is the case, then simply choose a general to lead the troops to fight once, put down the rebellion, and hand over the follow-up governance and stability to Fa Zheng and Ma Chao, just let them act with the army once and accumulate some experience, what do you think?"

"It's so good, it's foolproof."

Liu Hui said: "However, in terms of selection, you may need to be cautious, at least to understand the local climate, and also pay attention to medical treatment, this time the team went south, the local climate is very hot, humid, northerners are not used to it, many sick."

Fortunately, when they went south, they deliberately passed through Panyu, recruited some local doctors, and prepared some local medicinal materials, so there was no large-scale attrition, Rao is so, because they are not used to the local climate, there are already fifteen expedition members who died. ”

"That's to be careful."

Liu Bei nodded, pondered for a moment, then took out a piece of paper from the pile of paper in front of him, looked at it, and nodded slowly: "Just him, you can take a look." ”

Liu Hui took the piece of paper and looked at it.

"Gan Ning...... It is said that his record in the Jiangnan Military Region is very good, and he is known as the general of the mountain in the army, and General Guan admires him very much, and he was born in Yizhou, and he fights in Jiangnan all the year round, so he should be more familiar with the local climate, and there are many soldiers from Jiangnan under his command, well, he should be a suitable candidate. ”

"In that case, let's decide."

Liu Bei began to write the order.

"Let the Privy Council come up with a plan, and then let the military department prepare enough logistics materials, in addition, let the army go south to Jiaozhou to transit, recruit doctors locally, prepare medicinal materials, in addition, we must prepare enough wormwood and fierce fire oil cans, and the materials cannot be delayed."

"Your Majesty is wise."

Liu Hui said with a smile: "With such an arrangement, Rinan County will be foolproof." ”

Liu Bei nodded and laughed too.

"Don't think about this, let the exploration fleet act as soon as possible, find out the sea route from the Gentiles to Ninan County, and if you can, go to the Gentiles by sea to see the actual situation on the ground."

"Yui!"

Liu Hui bowed and left.

Liu Bei's order was quickly transmitted to the Privy Council, and then the Privy Council and Liu Hui cooperated to collect information, formulate strategies and tactics, and then convey the Privy Council's order to Gan Ning, so that Gan Ning and his soldiers could prepare.

On the other hand, the order for the transfer of officials was also transmitted through the Ministry of Officials to Fa Zheng, who was holding the position of county commander in Yongzhou, and Ma Chao, who was serving as a military commander in the Luoyang garrison.

Fa Zheng was really surprised when he heard the news, and for being able to hold the position of county chief at this age, in his opinion, it was tantamount to a dream to achieve a good thing.

Because of his excellent grades and the attention of Liu Bei, he has always been a "other person's child" level figure in the circle of his classmates, and he was appointed as a county magistrate to start exercising at the age of nineteen just after the completion of the crown, and was known as the youngest county magistrate among his classmates, and everyone generally believes that his future is limitless.

He himself also thought that he would strive to make good enough achievements within the term of office of the two county magistrates, that is, within eight years, and then become a county magistrate at the age of about twenty-eight and ascend to the position of a high-ranking official of 2,000 stones, which is a relatively satisfactory situation.

Although he was also very envious of those subordinates who followed Liu Bei in the early days, such as Dong Huang, this guy took the position of a county taishou under Liu Bei's appointment at the age of twenty-two, and he is still the youngest taishou record holder.

But at that time, it was not easy to say too much about that situation, it had its particularities, and Fa Zheng knew that he could not take that kind of road, and there was no need to go there.

But he never imagined that his opportunity would come so quickly.

At the age of twenty, he had served as a county magistrate for more than a year, and he was actually appointed to the post of Taishou.

Even though it was the county guard of Ninan-gun, the southernmost part of the Han Dynasty, it had always been considered a barren land among the barren lands, and going there was as life-threatening as Da Daxue.

But no matter how small the mosquito's legs are, they are still meat, and no matter how remote Rinan County is, it is also a county, and no matter how dangerous Rinan County is too guarded, it is also a 2,000-stone Taishou position.

This appointment successfully set a new record for the youngest Taishou record holder in Dahan, from 22 to 20 years old.

Not only Fa Zheng himself was surprised, but the subordinate officials and officials in his county government were all speechless with shock.

Everyone's emotions are mixed.

2000 Shijun Taishou, that is indeed a high-ranking official, no matter what, it is a high-level position.

But at the same time, everyone also thinks that this day Nanjun ...... Isn't it a little too far away?
