"Since Yin Qing has been appointed, and he is not in a hurry to do anything first, he can go back and settle down the disciples first, and when everything is in order, it is not too late to come and obey orders."

After the canonization, Lu Yuan looked at Yin Huixuan and said meaningfully.

Yin Huixuan took refuge in the sect, it is impossible for everyone to agree, there will always be some guys who don't know the general trend, or who are interested in Ning Guo, and are unwilling to surrender to Chu State.

For these stubborn guys, the Chu State will definitely use thunderous means to resolutely crack down on them.

However, instead of making a move by the Chu State at that time, so that the attack area will expand and affect the innocent, it is better to let Yin Huixuan, the sect master, clean it up first, so as not to make a big trouble in the future and affect him.

This is to govern the sect with the sect, and to govern the rivers and lakes with the rivers and lakes.

"Yes, King Xie is tolerant."

Yin Huixuan heard what Lu Yuan meant, and immediately replied: "The minister will go back to the door to rectify the affairs first, and after everything is settled, he will bring his disciples to the king's tent to listen to it." ”

Lu Yuan nodded with satisfaction, so he raised his glass to send the guest: "Qing has a heart." ”

Yin Huixuan understood and saluted: "The king is busy with official business, and the minister does not dare to disturb, so he will leave first." ”

"Go ahead." Lu Yuan said.

……

After sending Yin Huixuan away, Lu Yuan thought about it for a while and confirmed that there was nothing missing, so he put his mind at ease, and then he was not in a hurry to summon Xuan Chengzi, planning to dry this Purple Cloud Dao Lord first.

Over the years, Ziyun Dao has brought a lot of trouble to Lu Yuan.

It can even be said that the hegemony of the Chu State was almost destroyed in the hands of the other party.

The mountain gate directly sent out four Dharma Protector Divine Generals, gave Ning Guo a large amount of Divine Blood Spirit Pill, and helped the other party cultivate four innate martial marquis, which can be said to have pulled up most of the top combat power of Ning Kingdom with his own strength.

In addition, Ziyun Dao also donated a large amount of gold and silver to Ningguo, and according to the investigation of the Imperial City Division, the amount was as high as hundreds of millions.

He also mobilized the believers and made them enthusiastically join the army to help the Ning State conquer the Chu State.

Just now, Lu Yuan said that Yin Huixuan won 100,000 soldiers, which may be exaggerated.

But Ning Guo's Purple Cloud Dao, if he got 200,000 male soldiers, it was not exaggerated, and there was even something missing!

Tell me, such a Ziyun Dao, such a Xuan Chengzi, can Lu Yuan not hate?

If it weren't for the fact that Purple Cloud Dao was now in the Ning Kingdom, there would be four martial marquis. In the mountain gate, I still don't know how many people are born and their strength is still strong.

Lu Yuan had already led his troops to level this evil mountain gate.

"Now let's dry this thief first, grind his heart, and see how this person reacts." Lu Yuan thought so in his heart.

As for Xuan Chengzi's intention, how could he not know, it was nothing more than the same as Yin Huixuan, seeing that Ning Guo was defeated and Dachu was about to unify Jiangnan, so he hurried to take refuge.

No, Ziyun Dao is here, and there should be some pleading.

After all, the Six Yang Sect has always adhered to neutrality and has never interfered in Chu Ning's affairs, and although there is panic, it is better, so it is not too panicked.

But Ziyun Dao is the kind that belongs to the real enemy and rebel thief, who needs to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and never suffer in the future.

They helped Ning State resist Great Chu, and caused many losses to Chu State, but they could not be easily let go.

If they don't give enough sincerity and pay enough price, Lu Yuan won't let them go.

Otherwise, he would rather pay a huge number of casualties than destroy the Purple Cloud Dao Dao System to vent the hatred in his heart.

……

Ziyun Dao was hanging on the other side, and Lu Yuan just asked people to look at Xuan Chengzi, pay attention to his words and actions, and tell him in time, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

His energy was refocused on military affairs.

Recently, with Lu Yuan's combing, 500,000 prisoners from various countries have completed the initial reorganization and absorption.

With the elimination of the old and weak, the newly occupied counties of Lingnan and Jiangdong, and the two-tier system of local government and county soldiers, were quickly completed.

These newly-built prefectural and county soldiers, together with officials at all levels urgently transferred from the state to crack down on bandits and persuade them to engage in farming, have initially stabilized local order and enabled the counties in the two places to begin to resume normal life and production.

However, there is a slight flaw in the fact that the strength of these newly built county soldiers is generally low, and they are basically third-rate warriors of county lieutenants and second-rate warriors of command.

Compared with the standard configuration of the second-rate and first-class commanders of the normal county lieutenants, it is really a lot colder.

The fundamental reason for this phenomenon is that Lu Yuan has expanded a large number of forbidden troops and county soldiers at once, adding more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, which has led to a shortage of many officers and colonels in the army.

The system of the Ning State is different from that of the Chu State, they are the rulers of the family, and they are the only officials. Even if there is a system of selecting scholars for the imperial examination, but without a background, even if you are an official in the middle of the examination, it is difficult to rise to a high position.

Throughout the country, the courts are all high-level, the prefectures and counties are all cold, and the real class has a monopoly.

The state of Chu is the selection of talents through the imperial examination, and the theory of ability is the only one.

As long as the ability is enough and the talent is high enough, the prime minister will also do it.

The best example is Sun Siwen and Lu Yuan's disciples.

Putting aside their friendship with Lu Yuan, anyone has to admit that these high-level leaders of the Chu State all started from poor families at the bottom.

In the end, relying on his own efforts and Lu Yuan's appreciation, he came to this day step by step.

Even the two countries of the Soviet Union and the South China Sea are basically cronyism.

The officials and generals in the army in the country are all from the original Nanhai faction and Jiuchuan sword faction, and they are deeply bound to the Su clan and the Yan clan, and it is difficult to distinguish each other.

Therefore, these completely two extreme methods of selecting and employing people also led to the fact that when Lu Yuan recruited the prisoners of the Three Kingdoms, it was actually difficult to accept all of them.

For example, those captured generals are either from Linhai families, and their families are still resisting the invasion of Chu.

Either they are disciples of the Nanhai Sect and the Jiuchuan Sword Sect, and they have a grudge against Lu Yuan for killing teachers, killing disciples, killing fellow sects, and destroying sects.

Tell me, these people, even though they are talented, but does Lu Yuan dare to use them?

Naturally, they don't dare.

Therefore, when the prisoners of the Three Kingdoms were recruited, Lu Yuan could only recruit those soldiers at the lowest level, and all the middle and high-level generals and colonels would never be appointed unless they could confirm that they were indeed not involved with the high-level leaders of the Three Kingdoms.

But these middle and high-level generals and colonels can't absorb them, and the 500,000 army that Lu Yuan has reorganized can only find ways to train and appoint officers by himself.

But the shortage of officers in the 500,000-strong army, if you want to fill it all at once, how easy is it?

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, in order to ensure the integrity of the main forces such as the forbidden army and the county soldiers.

When Lu Yuan was organizing and training various armies, he had to sacrifice the local security forces first and give priority to ensuring the officer allocation of the main combat army.

This has also led to the current situation of low strength of military governors, commanders, county lieutenants, and other officials at the grassroots level.

But even if it is so configured, because there are too many soldiers and horses reorganized, there are still a large number of vacancies in the official positions of commanders and county lieutenants in the newly occupied prefectures and counties of the Chu State.

As a result, there is a phenomenon that there are no soldiers but no generals in the localities, and in the end only the civilian officials of the county orders and prefects can take charge of the troops.

It seems that such a situation in which there is no distinction between civil and military affairs, and a layman commanding an insider, naturally cannot be allowed to continue.

Therefore, when Yin Huixuan came to serve, Lu Yuan was not embarrassed, so he directly accepted it, and also asked the other party to recommend more disciples of the sect, so that more fellow disciples could come to Chu to serve.

Its purpose is to take a fancy to the huge number of master reserves in the Six Yang Sect.

As a well-known congenital faction in Sanzhou, among the Liuyang faction, there are no less than twenty first-class masters; second-rate masters, there are as many as hundreds; Third-rate and below, thousands.

With such a huge reserve of masters, if the Chu State can obtain and use it, the gap of local grassroots masters it is facing now can be filled in an instant.

Now that the Six Yang Sect is on the side, Lu Yuan has asked Yin Huixuan to go back to rectify, and it won't be long before many masters of the Six Yang Sect will come with him and shine for the Chu State.

As for whether filling in so many masters of the Six Yang Sect will lead to the expansion of the power of the Six Yang Sect in the Chu State, there is no need to worry about this.

Although there are many masters of the Six Yang Sect, compared to the Chu State, it is still not enough.

Nowadays, in the court of Chu State, the local government and the military camp, there are hundreds of first-class masters, more than 1,000 second-rate masters, and tens of thousands below the third-rate.

As far as the Liuyang faction's family background is concerned, it is not yet the eleventh of the Chu State, and it is nothing at all.

What's more, in today's world, whether a force is strong or not depends on the number of innate grandmasters.

Without an innate grandmaster, no matter how many ordinary first- and second-rate masters there are, it will not help.

In the Six Yang Sect, the innate grandmaster is only Yin Huixuan; Within the Chu State, there are already fifteen innate grandmasters.

If you count the subject countries and the Purple Cloud Dao that will take refuge, it will be even more, and the number of innate people will exceed twenty.

Compared to more than twenty innate masters, Yin Huixuan was nothing even if he was a grandmaster of the second innate realm.

And this gap will be rapidly widened and deepened in the future with the continuous expansion of the power of the Chu State.

The more time passed, the less influence local forces such as the Liuyang faction would have on the Chu State.

If by the time of the real Absolute Spirit Ending, all the innate beings are dead, and only Lu Yuan and his clone are left, then the impact that many other forces that do not have innate may cause even less.

At that time, a member of the congenital can control a state and ensure the long-term stability of a country.

Therefore, Lu Yuan has never been worried about the digestion of Yin Huixuan and the people sent by Liuyang, but he is relieved to be boldly appointed.

In terms of the county soldiers, Lu Yuan's arrangement is like this for the time being.

First make up the establishment, and then through time, as well as the Liuyang faction and other people, slowly improve the quality of the grassroots county lieutenants, commanders and other official positions.

In this way, after more than ten years, it can be replenished.

After dealing with the grassroots security garrison, Lu Yuan also began to plan in terms of other forbidden troops and county soldiers.

In this war, the state of Chu obtained the territory of Yuzhang, Jian'an, Nanhai, Yulin, and Tonghai, a total of four and a half counties.

In each of these five counties, 10,000 county soldiers have been prepared, and Lu Yuan's cronies have been arranged to take charge.

However, these five counties are all Xinping, and there are still a large number of defeated soldiers and bandits left in the place, and the remnants of the Three Kingdoms are also hidden in the shadows, always thinking of coming out to make trouble.

At the same time, the five counties are bordering the enemy country, Tonghai and Yulin two counties, and Dali and Song intersect, both of which can send 100,000 soldiers, and there are innate masters.

If there is no innate control, it is difficult to be stable.

The two counties of Yuzhang and Jian'an are on the front line with Ningguo.

Although Ning Guo was defeated, it was bound to think about retaking the second county at all times.

Until now, although the war has stopped, a war of 100 people and 1,000 people will break out at the junction of the two counties from time to time, and it will never end.

And in the past thousand years, the Linhai family has been deeply involved in Yuzhang and Jian'an counties for a long time, and they are intertwined in the local area, and I don't know how many dark chess pieces have been buried.

These two counties, if there are no strong people to guard them, will not be able to stabilize the place.

The only good point of Nanhai County is that there are also a large number of original Nanhai national sailors scattered, and the number is as many as tens of thousands.

These sailors are all descendants of the South China Sea State, and the generals are either the children of the Yan family, or they are from the South China Sea faction, and they have a grudge against the Chu State to destroy the country and destroy the door.

These people were neither willing to follow the princes of the South China Sea to retreat to Ning, nor to surrender to Chu.

Eventually, they all gathered together and began to wreak havoc in the South China Sea of Chu.

From time to time, they go ashore to harass and attack, attack cities and towns, and loot money, which has become a major disaster in the South China Sea.

Lan Caier, the queen who is in charge of guarding the local area, has been anxious about this in recent months.

Several times he led the surrendered Nanhai Navy Division to the sea to search for the traces of these pirates, but in the end they all gained little, only killed hundreds of pirates, and returned depressed.

Therefore, in order to deal with these pirate troubles and prevent the possibility of this, Ning Guo sent sailors across the sea, and Nanhai County also needed to be guarded by innate grandmasters.

In such a land of five counties, it needs to be watched by the five innate grandmasters to be safe.

At the same time, it is also necessary to make formal arrangements for local military affairs in the western region.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Lu Yuan ordered his disciple Li Liang to serve as the defense envoy of Yulin County, Zhuang Hua as the defense envoy of Nanhai County, Han Shun as the defense envoy of Hanzhong County, and Zhang You as the defense envoy of the Xichuan Army.

Ordered these four disciples to go out of the town for themselves, and respectively take charge of the military affairs of each county, and appease the enemy inside and outside.

Han Hua, the former defense envoy of Xichuan County, was transferred to the defense envoy of Hegu County.

In addition, Han Hu, the protector of the country, was appointed as the defense envoy of Tonghai County.

Dongting County has Sun Siwen, the left minister, who sits in Baling, and will be stationed in the country after that, handling government affairs, dispatching grain and grass, and will no longer go on expeditions unless there are special circumstances.

In addition, due to the cessation of the war, Han Liang, the defense envoy of Qianzhong County, Zhou Qing, the general and defense envoy of Xiangyang County, Li Xiong, Kunhai Gong, Li Chuan, Chili Guo and other foreign troops also led their troops back to the county and the country and went back to recuperate.

Well, just last month, after successive defeats in various battlefields, Yang Jingbu of the Ning Army, who had been nailed to the three eastern provinces of Xiangyang in Jiangbei, finally gave up the Jiangbei battlefield, led the remnants to board the naval division battleship, and fled back to Jinling in embarrassment.

Zhou Qing took over Xiangyang County of Ningguo and unified the land of Jiangbei.

At this time, except for the three prefectures of Xiangyang County of Zhou State, which is located in the north of the Han River and the position of Zhongzhou, and the south of the river, the rest of the seven prefectures of Xiangyang have entered the hands of the Chu State.

At the same time, on Chu Wei's side, Lu Yuan also ordered him to return to the water division, and led the boat to take over the two water villages of Xiakou and Pengli, occupying the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and completely improving the water defense of the Chu State.

In this way, the old land of Chu and the counties of Lingnan, each county has arranged a congenital guard, which is enough to keep the place impregnable.

As for the two counties of Yuzhang and Jian'an, which are located in Jiangdong and close to the front line with Ningguo, Lu Yuan has Huang Xuan as the governor of Yuzhang County, and Qingyunzi as the governor of Jian'an County, and the commander-in-chief of all the military and political affairs of the counties under his jurisdiction.

In addition, Lu Yuan, Queen Lan Cai'er, and Princess Lingnu will be stationed in Yuzhang County.

In addition, Chu Wei also led the water division and was stationed in the Peng Lishui camp.

Yin Huixuan, who has just come to take refuge, will also be arranged to Jian'an County after he returns to take up his post, as Qingyunzi's deputy to monitor Ning Guo.

In this way, in the two counties on the front line, Yuzhang will have five congenitals, Jian'an will have two congenitals, and there will be more than four grandmasters above the second realm.

With this kind of strength, even if the remaining eleven innate members of Ning Guo were killed together, it would be enough to resist it.

In terms of innate grandmasters, the state of Chu is already well-arranged.

The county soldiers, county soldiers, sailors, and innate grandmasters have all made arrangements.

In terms of the rest of the forbidden army, Lu Yuan also made adjustments.

After the reorganization, the state of Chu had a total of 35 forbidden armies, with a total of 700,000 people.

Among these large armies, Hanzhong County, Xiangyang County, Dongting County, and Lu Yuan restored the establishment of three counties and five forbidden armies each.

The other three counties of Xichuan, Qianzhong, and Nanhai each stationed a forbidden army.

Tonghai County and Yulin County, because of their close proximity to Dali and the Song Kingdom, need to strengthen their defenses, so the Tonghai Navy stationed two forbidden armies, and Yulin County stationed three forbidden armies, a total of five forbidden armies.

As for the county of the river valley, it is located in the rear and is a frontier, so it does not garrison the forbidden army, and only the county soldiers are responsible for local defense.

The above eight counties used a total of 23 forbidden armies.

Of the remaining twelve forbidden armies, totaling 240,000 people, Lu Yuan deployed five in Jian'an County, and the remaining seven remained in Yuzhang County to be responsible for front-line defense.

In this way, a series of defense adjustments to the troops and horses of the Chu State after the war were finally completed in early August of the 11th year of Shenwu, before the beginning of autumn, after combing for three months.

In the next few years, if there are no major changes, there will be basically no adjustment.

The state of Chu will also enter a longer period of digestion.

In the land south of the Yangtze River, before reunification, the only remaining peaceful time came.

Lu Yuan's side, who was also busy with all his official duties, finally took the time to meet this Purple Cloud Dao Lord after drying Xuan Chengzi for a month.

In the past few months, Yin Huixuan, who has returned to the sect to deal with hidden dangers, has already cleaned up other different voices in the sect, and finally led the three thousand disciples of the sect to take refuge in the Chu State together.

After Lu Yuan's investigation, he dispersed these disciples of the Liuyang Sect and arranged them to serve as military officers in the local government and county, as well as the patrol and arrest positions under the yamen.

He didn't hide this news, and with the channel of Ziyun Dao, it was easy to get it.

At the same time, a series of defense adjustments of the state of Chu did not cover up, and those who are interested can know the general situation on the surface if they inquire a little.

And after this lot of news continued to spread, Xuan Chengzi, who had been hanging by Lu Yuan in the post house in Nanchang City, still did not move at all, and just stayed in the inn honestly every day, looking like he was in a hurry.

According to the report of the person sent by Lu Yuan to take care of the surveillance, this guy meditates in the morning every day, reads the scriptures and practices, and is leisurely.

This thief Dao doesn't seem to be afraid at all, and Chu Guo will do something to him Ziyun Dao.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan also knew that it was useless to dry it again.

Therefore, after finishing the matter at hand, he asked people to go to pass on Xuan Chengzi and come to his house to meet him.
