Hearing the names of these two people, Liu Jian's heart was naturally a little excited.

But it is also far from reaching the agitation of self-control.

The situation of the counties in Jizhou is generally under their control.

Including these princes and kings who have just opened their mansions and recruited elites, Liu Jian also has a rough idea in his heart.

Liu Jian was the pastor of Southern Jizhou, and the Hejian Kingdom belonged to the northern counties of Jizhou, which was not within his initial political jurisdiction.

So when he was just set up as a pastor, his hand did not reach to the north of Jizhou.

It's just that I kept sending people to inquire about the situation in various places.

Local heroes like Zhang He and Gao Ran, based on the principle of proximity to their hometowns, are also reasonable to be conquered by the king of Hejian.

But that doesn't matter to Liu Jian.

Now that Lu Zhi, the pastor of North Jizhou, has arrived in Jizhou, they have reached an agreement between the two state pastors, with Liu Jian as the main and Lu Zhi as the deputy, and gradually began to integrate the resources of the entire Jizhou.

Once the two Jizhou pastors are merged, it is equivalent to Liu Jian having the ability to control the entire Jizhou, so all the counties and subordinate soldiers and horses in the entire Jizhou, Liu Jian can stretch out his hand.

This time, I found five princes and kings to come here for this purpose.

Subordinate to the generals recruited by these princes and kings, Liu Jian's next step is to turn them into his direct generals, and the princes and kings will slowly become agents for him.

As Lu Zhi said, the false festival Yue Zhixuan given to him by the Son of Heaven was just enough to allow him to expand his forces several times without a trace in Jizhou and Youzhou.

Among the expanded forces, Zhang He and Gao Ran were naturally included.

In fact, Liu Jian didn't expect that Liu Yi, the king of Hejian, would bring Zhang He and Gao Ran, but for him, it didn't matter if he brought it or not.

Anyway, sooner or later, they are all people who are going to be unified by him into the entire Jizhou Army, see each other one day early, see one day later, see each other one day, and don't see each other at any time.

However, since these two people have appeared in front of him, let's meet them as soon as possible.

Liu Jian said to Zhang He and Gao Ran, "Two, please take a seat."

Zhang He and Gao Ran hurriedly said, "Don't dare, don't dare."

Both of them are not from prestigious families, but from wealthy families, and there is no heirloom in the family.

Since both of them are from Hejian country, and their ancestral industries are also in Hejian country, when the king of Hejian opened the mansion to conquer the two...... The two pondered, since they can guard their families and stay in the land, why not be happy?

Zhang He and Gao Ran's actions are the mentality that most ordinary people have in this era.

Especially for people who have a certain amount of land and family wealth, but whose status is not yet up to the high level of the noble family, if they can be requisitioned to the hometown of the county, it is naturally the best choice.

And Liu Ying, the king of Hejian, is also the prince and king of Hejian Kingdom, and has lived in Hejian Country for several generations, so Liu Ying, Zhang He, and Gao Ran are fellow villagers.

The fellow conquered the fellow countryman, with tears in his eyes, and the vision of the martial artist was not so broad.

But the dream is beautiful, and the reality is skinny.

But no one thought that the princes and kings opened their mansions, but they only had the right to recruit soldiers, but they did not have the ability to participate in politics.

The political authority of the local county is still in the hands of the local minister. ….

This made Zhang He and Gao Ran feel very embarrassed.

They joined the princes and kings, but they didn't want to be pure or to be the head soldiers of the king of the river.

They wanted to use the ruling power of Liu Yi after the opening of the mansion to seek the well-being of their families and future generations in the Hejian Kingdom.

Who would have thought that Liu Ye did not have this power at all, he could only form an army of princes and kings of his own, and this army of princes and kings was not supported by Hejian State's own finances at all.

From a different perspective, this army of princes and kings has nothing to do with the country and belongs to Liu Ye's own private army.

This gave Zhang He and Gao Ran a headache.

Although they can get military salaries here in Liu Yi, they can't

He sought political benefits from his family in the River Country.

Although Zhang He and Gao Ran cannot be said to be the top riches in Jizhou, they are definitely not inferior to Liu Yi's military salary.

But you have already stepped into this deep pit, and it is not so easy for you to step out directly.

After all, if they stepped out directly and turned back to the country between the rivers, the reputation of the two of them would be easily criticized, and in the era of dualistic monarchs, it was easy to be criticized for directly abandoning the lord without any special circumstances.

Therefore, although Zhang He and Gao Ran are in a dilemma about their situation at the moment, they can only do their best to train for Liu Ye.

At least they have no other way to do it.

Including today, Liu Ye drank too much in Liu Jian's mansion, and the two of them, as Sima under Liu Jie, did not leave without permission, but stationed outside Mu Xia like servants.

Imagine what can happen to a prince and king of a great Han dynasty in Liu Jian's mansion?

What are Zhang He and Gao Ran still doing here?

In order to maintain a good reputation.

Why do you have to have a good name?

Liu Jian estimated that if they really had no way in the future, they would have to abandon Liu Ye in the future, and they would have a good reputation foundation and be less scolded in Hejian Country.

It's not easy for people in this era to mix. Especially between fellow villagers and fellow villagers, it is easy to be requisitioned, but it is difficult to change jobs.

"The two are really loyal and righteous people, and being able to do such a thing for the Lord is really admirable to Liu."

Although Liu Jian can roughly guess the true thoughts of Zhang He and Gao Ran in his heart, it is impossible for him to tell the deepest secrets in the hearts of the two, and the drama that he wants to act on the surface still has to be acted.

After all, Zhang He and Gao Ran are still young, and their faces are thin, and they don't have as many people as Liu Jian.

When Liu Jian said this, the two of them were somewhat panicked.

But at this point, the two of them can only pretend to be loyal ministers.

Zhang He said: "We deserve such praise from you."

Liu Jian said to Zhang He, "Why should Zhang Sima be modest? In fact, I don't hide it from the two of you, I am looking for five princes and kings to gather in Yecheng this time, for the war in Youzhou in the north, Liu has the right to fake the festival given by the first emperor, and has the responsibility of supervising the rebellion of Ji and Youzhou."

"According to the reports of my subordinates, the Wuhuan in all parts of Youzhou, including the Xianbei scattered tribe in the grasslands outside the county, has been in a state of flux recently because of the frequent civil wars of the Han Dynasty." ….

"Therefore, I want to recruit the troops of the counties and states of the two states and unify them in Muxia, so that the northern expedition can be made at any time and stabilize the livelihood of the people in Hebei, and in Jizhou, the soldiers and horses under the kings are particularly important."

Zhang He didn't react for a while.

But Gao Ran over there heard the signs.

But he saw Gao Ran arching his hand and asked Liu Jian: "Dare to ask the envoy, if the envoy unifies the soldiers and horses of the counties and countries and deploys them by Mu Xia, then who should the soldiers under the kings of my counties belong to in the future?"

Liu Jian said with a smile: "The soldiers and horses recruited by the princes and kings of the princes and kings are naturally subordinate to the princes and kings of the counties, but in order to facilitate management, the military attaches of more than 600 stone will be registered in the Muxia, and the salaries and ranks of these officers will be borne by the Muxia Finance in the future, and I will also set up a county governor in each county, and set up a general lieutenant in the state, who is responsible for supervising and controlling the military attaches of the counties."

When these words came out, Gao Ran somewhat understood in his heart.

The princes' armies are still the princes' kings', but the identity of the military attachés of the princes' kings' armies of more than 600 stone is directly attributed to Mu Xia.

The military attachés of these princes and kings were also appointed to administer them with the governors and governors.

This is a disguised deprivation of control of the princes' and kings' armies.

But for Zhang He and Gao Ran, this is a great thing.

After all, the identity of the princes and kings is ambiguous.

Being an officer in the princes' army is a bit like the nature of a local armed private soldier.

But to be an officer in the state pastor, that is the regular official body of the Han Dynasty.

This is in essence and conceptually

It's quite different.
