"Now the governor of Hedong, Zhang Shi, the prime minister of Wangyi, the governor of Weigu, and the county lieutenant Zhang Sheng have neglected their duties, failed to suppress the bandits, and left the people of the county to flee alone.
They have committed a heinous crime.
This general is conducting an expedition on behalf of the emperor.
Jie Yue has the right to behead these criminals first and then report them.
These people have been beheaded and the three tribes have been punished, but Hedong cannot be left unattended.
Where is Du Ji, the Linfen order?"
Liu Cheng shouted while sitting in the main hall of the prefect's mansion.
Du Ji's face was as dark as water, he stood up and bowed with his hands raised: "I have a humble position."
Liu Chengdao: "I have written to the imperial court to recommend you to the post of governor of Hedong.
Before the imperial court appoints you, you will have full authority to handle the military and political affairs of Hedong County."
Du Ji suppressed his inner excitement, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Thank you, General."
Du Ji didn't have many words of gratitude.
He knew very well that a person's thoughts and attitudes must not be expressed through words.
Many times what is said is unreliable.
Only actions can prove one's heart.
In the future, It’s still a long time coming, and people’s hearts need time to be verified.
The officials and generals on the left and right sides of the lobby looked shocked.
They looked at Du Ji, all filled with envy and hatred in their hearts.
Du Ji is only twenty-six years old this year.
Just a few days after he was appointed as the Linfen Order, he was immediately promoted to the position of Hedong Prefect.
Regardless of the fact that these generals and officials in the lobby seem to have high official positions, it can be said that Chen Dao, Wang Shuang, Yang Ru and others are all real high-ranking officials with a rank of two thousand shi in the imperial court.
But in terms of real power, except for Except for Liu Cheng, no one else can compare with Du Ji, the governor of Hedong.
The territory and administrative areas of the Han Dynasty were divided into thirteen states, one department, and one prefecture.
The thirteen states are Youzhou, Jizhou, Bingzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Jiaozhou, Yizhou, Yongzhou, and Liangzhou; one is the Sili School and Weibu; the other is the Governor of the Western Regions .
Before Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty adopted Liu Yan's suggestion to implement the state pastoral system, the highest officials in these states, the governors, actually had no military and political management power, only supervisory power.
Therefore, the prefect was actually the highest local administrative agency besides the central court.
Some counties administered more than twenty counties, and the power and area under the jurisdiction of some prefects were comparable to that of a high-ranking official in later generations.
Du Ji, a young man in his mid-twenties, became the governor of a county at such a young age.
This is the great benefit he got from being completely loyal to Liu Cheng and standing on the opposite side of the family.
Although he took a big risk, he is likely to be He will be regarded as an enemy by all nobles, but the rewards he receives are generous.
Among the generals and officials in the lobby, there are not many who are really die-hard fans of Liu Cheng.
Chen Dao, Wang Shuang, Zhang Liao and others are already die-hard fans of Liu Cheng.
Now Du Ji and others are added to the list.
Most people are still loyal to Liu Cheng There are reservations.
Even Jia Xu doesn't seem to be 100% loyal.
Liu Cheng doesn't care about this.
Talented people in this world are like crucian carp crossing the river, but people who are loyal and remain loyal throughout their lives without regrets, That's the most valuable thing.
The rulers in power throughout the dynasties have greatly praised and rewarded the loyal and brave people, and spared no effort to publicize and improve the status of these people, because the rulers need these people to set examples.
The more loyal and brave people, the stronger the ruler's dominance and foundation.
The more stable it is.
On the contrary, the fewer loyal and brave people, the people in the whole society will be impetuous and scattered, and the ruler's ruling position will not be strong.
At this time, a small school man walked in quickly and cupped his fists at Liu Cheng and said: "General Qi, Zhu Jianping and Shi Tao have arrived ten miles outside the city with 20,000 troops and countless grain and grass supplies transported by hundreds of carriages.
"place" "Oh, they are coming so fast.
Xu Shu, hurry up and make preparations to welcome them.
Free up the warehouses for storing grain and grass supplies, and clean up the camps set up for them."

Liu Cheng was very surprised.
The 20,000 people came from Hanoi County and Recruited from Shangdang County.
In today's world, it is impossible to recruit so many people with the previous recruitment conditions and methods.
At that time, when Liu Cheng ordered Fang Yue to cooperate with Zhu Jianping in recruiting troops in Hanoi County, the officials in Hanoi County were all ready to see Liu Cheng and Zhu Jianping's joke.
But they were disappointed next.
Liu Cheng ordered Zhu Jianping to issue a notice when recruiting soldiers and horses, and give a considerable settlement allowance to every strong man who joined the army.
Settling-in allowance, which was not available when recruiting soldiers in the past, and I have never heard that the government would provide settling-in allowance to family members during conscription.
A considerable settling-in allowance made many young adults, even minors, and middle-aged and elderly people want to join Liu Cheng's army. , but he doesn’t accept everyone.
Generally, only young and strong people are admitted.
If you have special skills, the restrictions can be relaxed appropriately.
In just one month, Zhu Jianping recruited 20,000 troops in Hanoi and Shangdang County, which shocked the officials in Hanoi and Shangdang County.
Xu Shu immediately clasped his fists and agreed, "Yes, Lord."
Liu Cheng asked again: "How many soldiers and horses have we recruited in various counties in Hedong County during this period?"
Zhang Liao stood up and clasped his fists and said: "Lord, the Baibo army took away many young men from Hedong.
We only recruited 3,000 people in Hedong.
We also sent people to Bingzhou Shangjun and Xihe County to recruit 3,000 and 5,000 people respectively. , a total of eleven thousand people.”
Liu Cheng nodded, thought for a moment, weighed it in his mind, and said to everyone: "The Han Dynasty has been in peace for four hundred years.
The army's combat effectiveness is getting lower and lower.
There are countless people who are greedy for life and afraid of death.
Many people are unwilling to join the army.
The wealthy families are hiding. population, and take the common people as their slaves.
The imperial court cannot recruit soldiers even if it wants to rectify the imperial court and eradicate traitors and traitors.
To cleanse the hearts of the people and pacify the world, we must have an army with unparalleled combat power.
How can we make the soldiers fearless of death and fight bravely?
In addition to using iron-like military discipline, devilish training, and sufficient food, we must also make them Understanding why the war is fought and who they are fighting for makes them want to fight and dare to fight.
These are all things you generals and officers need to consider."
Having said this, Liu Cheng paused and gave these generals and officials a time to think.
Liu Cheng then continued: "There is no doubt about the role of the commander of the army in an army.
As the saying goes, one soldier is like a raging army, and a general is like a den of raging animals.
A good army commander can lead out a tiger and wolf division, but a useless one can be useless."
It can only lead to a group of wimps.
However, there is a difference between the ability to lead troops and the ability to command.
Some generals are very capable of commanding troops and training them, but they are not good at commanding them on the spot; Don't know how to train troops.
Generals who are talented in training and commanding troops will definitely not be able to train good and strong troops.
Therefore, we must find ways to avoid this drawback and develop a unified training method for all generals, commanders, hundred-man generals, and teams.
Wait for these officers They all train their troops according to this unified method.
The soldiers and horses trained in this way are strong soldiers.
Are there any differences in the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Northern Army compared with before?
Yang Ru and Du Kai, you two are in the Northern Army.
You two are old, let’s talk about it.”
Du Kai first stood up and clasped his fists and said: "My lord, the Northern Army used to be the strongest army in the world.
The local county soldiers, government soldiers, southern army and border army could not compare with the northern army in terms of combat power.
But look at the current northern army."
Their combat power is absolutely unmatched by the previous Northern Army.”
Yang Ru also stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Yes, Bei Shi feels the same way.

Nowadays, the soldiers of the Northern Army are obeying orders and prohibitions.
They are all brave and fearless of death, and their momentum is as strong as a rainbow.
In the past, Bei Shi read military books, and there is a saying in the art of war: its speed is as fast as the wind; It's as slow as a forest, as plundering as a fire, and as motionless as a mountain.
But I have never seen any soldiers and horses capable of doing this.
But if we look at the Northern Army today, isn't it exactly like this?"
Other generals and school officials whispered to each other and nodded: "Yes, yes."
"This is because the officers and soldiers of the Northern Army have been practicing in accordance with the training subjects and methods arranged by this general in the past few months, so they have the Northern Army today."
After Liu Cheng said this, he looked at everyone and took out a policy book from his arms.
Said: "What is written here is my general's training method.
From now on, our army will All military training is carried out using this method.
Each school captain will spend an hour every day to come to the general to study.
This military training is only allowed to be seen and memorized.
It is not allowed to be copied, and it is not allowed to be leaked.
If anyone leaks it, Regardless of whether it is intentional or unintentional, this general will hold him accountable."
Several captains stood up and clasped their fists and said, "As ordered."
Liu Cheng pondered for a moment and said: "One more thing.
Now that all the Hedong families have been eradicated, many fields have become ownerless land.
The government must collect these fields, register them, and hire people to cultivate them first.
In order to encourage the soldiers For those who have fought bravely and bravely, I have decided to adopt the system of conferring land for military merit.
Please discuss the specific situation and formulate a feasible strategy.
Jia Xu, you will be in charge of this matter."
After hearing this, Jia Xu immediately stood up and cupped his hands and said: "I obey."
Everyone knows that the status of warriors is going to be improved, and in Liu Cheng's case, it is almost a foregone conclusion.
In Dong Zhuo's case, military generals were also more popular than civil servants.
When troubled times come, no matter where they are, it is an unstoppable trend for warriors to improve their status.
If a prince does not improve his status as a warrior, he will be eliminated by the general trend.
"Let's go to the city gate to meet Zhu Jianping and Shi Tao," Liu Cheng said, getting up and walking out.
The officials and generals also followed and walked out of the prefect's mansion.
Almost everyone rode towards the city gate.
When they arrived at the gate of the city, Liu Cheng and others only waited for a cup of tea.
A long team appeared in the distance, with flags flying and neat formation.
Two scribes on horseback were at the front, and there were also There were many cavalry on both sides of the team.
At a glance, the team could not see the end.
When we walked in, we found that the soldiers in the team were all in high spirits and high in fighting spirit
