Chapter 126: Espionage work is urgent
Liu Feng led the army to return to Shangyong, which is really called a spring ...... The winter wind is proud.
Liu Feng, who no longer wanted to fight for the position of the prince, was relaxed, and after being impressed by Liu Chan's current wisdom and bravery, he was rewarded by Liu Chan for treating each other as brothers regardless of his previous suspicions.
At this time, Liu Feng only felt that the road ahead was smooth and bright.
In his mind, he imagined that in the future, the two brothers would work together to sweep away the thieves and help his father realize his dream of supporting the Han family.
The brother inherits the throne, and one day he can be crowned a general of the left and right...... Tsk, it's exciting to think about.
Liu Feng, who returned to his teacher in victory, was warmly received by the Shen brothers and Meng Da, but he didn't seem to notice that the relationship between the Shen brothers and Meng Da was much better than before he left......
Shen Tan raised his glass and toasted: "Come on, come on, general, please drink this cup." Haha, the general went out this time to save General Guan from danger and forced Xu Huang to retreat.
"Later, he followed the prince and General Guan to go to various places in Jingzhou and make great contributions, presumably there must be a reward from the king, which is really enviable."
"Please." Liu Feng was not polite, and said with a smile after raising his glass and killing it, "General Shen has won the award, this is a small victory, and when I lead the army on the Northern Expedition in the coming day, and when I break the Cao army with a few people, it is not too late to say that I will make a big contribution." Hahaha......"
Shen Tan and Meng Da smiled undiminished and remained silent, but Shen Yi frowned and was unhappy.
His eldest brother is Liu Bei's pro-named general of Zhengbei, and his Shen family has been operating here for many years, so he has always said the same, and you don't say anything about toasting?
And Liu Feng said that he was awkward, even if he said that there was a day when he led the army to the Northern Expedition here, then it should be his eldest brother as the general of the Northern Expedition who had the final say?
This is too much to take their brother seriously!
He didn't know Liu Feng, Liu Feng was happy and angry, and he was all written on his face, and he was a very emotional person.
At this time, in this state of mind, his mind is full of what Liu Chan said, "Hold a gun and leap on a horse, and make immortal achievements", how can he have the heart to take into account any wine table etiquette?
Besides, although he obeyed Liu Chan, it doesn't mean that his strength and arrogance are gone, as Liu Bei's righteous son, he has never put the surrender of these two earth buns and the head snake in his eyes.
At the beginning, he surrendered in a high-profile manner, but when he later supported his army, he coped perfunctorily, shouted slogans louder than anyone else, and was not active when it came time to provide money and food.
If it weren't for the fact that his family was in a big position here, and he had just arrived and had an unstable foundation for fear of causing trouble, he would have given them a look.
I have to let them know that now the surname of this land is Liu, but the surname is not Shen.
Thinking of this, he thought that he had already made military achievements, and if he could also make achievements in governing the region, wouldn't he be more able to win the approval of his father and the prince and brothers?
After all, among the generals of the three eastern counties, there is only one lineage of his own, and the intention of his father to send him here is naturally to completely take this place for his own use.
So he said to Shen Tan: "General Shen, speaking of which, the plan for the three counties has not yet been carried out...... There is nothing to do in the winter, why not make up for it? ”
The so-called Shangji is an annual performance appraisal system that began in the Warring States period.
The time is set for September every year, and all localities are required to send "senior officials" to report the local household registration, money and grain, and internal security and other conditions at various levels, first to the county magistrate, and then to the central audit.
This is not only an important indicator for evaluating local officials, but also an important system for the central government to collect taxes from various localities and strengthen the central government's control over local governments.
The three eastern counties were captured by Liu Bei before September.
The old Taishou was killed, and the new Taishou took office, and it has been chaotic.
Moreover, since Liu Biao started that year, the restrictions on the three eastern counties, which are surrounded by mountains, have been relaxed, and there is basically no difference between secession and autonomy, which has made the Shen family so big.
Since Shen Tan became the Shangyong Taishou back then, including Boss Cao, he really hasn't given anyone a plan......
Shen Yi frowned and put down the wine glass: "This matter ......"
Seeing that his brother glanced at him, Shen Yi immediately stopped the words behind him.
Shen Tan smiled undiminishedly, and raised his glass again: "That's natural, haha." The king's war must have consumed a huge amount of money and food, and we, as vassals of one place, even if the three counties are poor, we should share the worries of the king.
"When we first gather the situation of each county, and then carry out the plan, the treasury of the king has been enriched, and the general will drink and feast with peace of mind."
Shen Tan's words are sincere, just looking at this statement, it is really sincere and full of loyalty, and those who don't know think that he is also a loyal fan of Lao Liu.
So happy?
Although Liu Feng was surprised by his different attitudes, thinking about this victory in Jingzhou, Xu is brother of the Shen family judged the situation and was ready to "bet heavily" on his father.
So he also raised his glass and smiled: "Okay, General Shen can share his father's worries, I am very relieved, come, let's do it!" ”
Shen Yi couldn't help but scold in his heart, but his brother didn't say anything, and he didn't have much to say in the face of Liu Feng's pressing step by step.
The two of them drank another glass.
Liu Feng's amount of wine is much better than Liu Chan's "three cups poured", and at this time, he still looks as usual after several glasses.
Meng Dasheng was afraid that Liu Feng would say something that would "hinder unity", so he hurriedly said: "The general has returned victorious, and today is a good time to drink and celebrate!" Why don't we talk about these government affairs at another date, play music and music, and I also salute the general. ”
This reception banquet ended in superficial harmony.
It's just that when he returned home, Shen Yi said angrily: "Then Liu Feng doesn't take his brother too seriously, obviously his official position is lower than that of his brother, but he presses me everywhere in his speech." ”
Shen Tan was not happy in his heart, but he still waved his hand and said: "Liu Bei Xinsheng, but it's not good to get too stiff with him." ”
"Could it be that my brother really wants to make up for this year's age according to what he said?"
Shen Tan smiled: "There are many co-ordination plans for the above, how can it be completed in a few days?" ”
Shen Yi heard his words and knew what he meant: "Brother is saying, let's drag him?" ”
Shen Tan nodded: "If he is in a hurry, he will take some money and food, and make up some imaginary numbers with him." It also shows that our Shen family is sincerely returned to Liu. ”
At this time, Shen Tan still didn't believe that Liu Bei could really achieve great things, and it was impossible to make a heavy bet, but he just wanted to bully Liu Feng for not being good at political affairs, and continued to perfunctory.
And don't care how much money and food, the data is true or false, it is already very face-saving for Liu Bei to make up for it, and he should be content.
"Brother Takami."
As for Meng Da, he has not been very comfortable recently.
His father is an official fan and likes to climb up by drilling camps, and he is the same, but he feels that Liu Bei obviously doesn't want to see him.
The people of the Dongzhou faction were all mixed up under Liu Bei, but they were the only ones who were arranged in this mountain nest.
That's okay, he worked hard to send troops at the beginning, took the waterway to Zigui and changed the land route, and led the army to attack Fangling over the mountains and mountains, is it easy?
As a result, seeing that no matter how hard he worked, he could take the three eastern counties, but Liu Bei sent his righteous son over.
Send troops to help? No kidding, who believes.
This is clearly not wanting to reuse himself, so he sent his son to "pick peaches".
At the beginning, he and Fa Zheng voted for Liu Zhang together, and then voted for Liu Bei together, but now Fa Zheng has mixed up with the top level of the central government, but look at himself again......
The reason why most mediocre people are mediocre is precisely because they always like to find objective reasons when they are unwilling.
Meng Da and Fa Zheng had similar experiences, but the results were very different, he didn't reflect on his ability, he just blindly felt that it was the lord's partiality.
I have to say that Liu Bei is still relatively accurate in seeing people, and he really doesn't trust Meng Da very much.
After Liu Feng led the army away, Meng Da and the Shen brothers got very close.
He wants to take advantage of the financial resources of the Shen family to "carry out activities" upward, and perhaps he can be transferred to the central government to have more opportunities to perform.
Meng Da is not good for others, but communication skills are still okay.
Outstanding appearance, extraordinary conversation, and good writing, can be called a golden jade.
In the face of Meng Da's initiative to show goodwill, the Shen brothers quickly fought with him and quickly called him a brother.
Things gather like people in groups, and the ancients said very well.
Although Meng Da's ability is not as good as that of famous generals and ministers, he is still much better than local heroes like the Shen brothers.
He often gave careful guidance to the Shen brothers in terms of army command, art of war, and government affairs, and the Shen brothers also treated them as guests, and a lot of gold, silver, and money flowed into Meng Da's pocket without hesitation......
Liu Feng, who didn't know that Meng Da was already wearing a pair of pants with the Shen family, was not defensive against Meng Da when he talked on weekdays, but many thoughts and thoughts could not be hidden from the Shen family brothers.
It can be seen that to do one thing, the importance of intelligence and information, once the information gap is formed, the weak side will be passive everywhere.
Liu Chan in Chengdu is different from his brother-in-law, so he attaches great importance to this matter.
The expansion of the army has been completed, and before training the new army, he still has one more thing to do, and that is to make some adjustments to the structure of the Red Star Army.
Even that legendary army was not invincible, unbreakable, and invincible from the beginning, and there were once a large number of deserters who could not be shot at the worst time.
It wasn't until after the adaptation that it was injected with military soul, and since then he has started the performance of his strongest infantry on the surface.
This made Liu Chan see the hope of replicating, at least approaching that army.
Faith, fairness, dignity.
These three things play an important role in this.
The historical period is different, and he can't mechanically apply the faith of that army, so he chooses to make himself the faith of the Red Star Army.
Other things are also improving little by little, and they may take a little detour, and some methods may not be so perfect.
But I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, as long as I persist, I can always find the most suitable model for the development of the Red Star Army.
Today's productivity and resource base, and even the concepts of other generals and scholars, could not allow him to generalize the model of the Red Star Army to the whole army.
Will Zhang Sanye call Fan Qiang and Zhang Da brothers? No kidding.
He could not lead the soldiers of the whole country himself.
But he doesn't need to promote the whole army, he also has a hexagonal Uncle Zhuge .
His ability to govern the army and unify the army once made Sima Yi call him a genius, and in the future, Uncle Zhuge will govern the army and be the most suitable for promoting the whole army in this era.
What Liu Chan has to do is just train an epoch-making special forces to help him gnaw the hardest bones and fight the most difficult battles in the future.
Ji Han's foundation is too thin, and the number of people in the pile cannot be stacked beyond Cao Wei, so the elite soldiers are particularly important.
Of course, there is one more important thing, that is, intelligence, and the people of the Zhao family are not enough.
It's okay to collect general information, but for some important information, you need to train professionals.
"Prince, I don't know this 'Red Star Shadow Guard'...... What is it going to do? Wang Meng's new appointment of Liu Chan is obviously a little confused......
