Chapter 80: Winning too quickly is not a good thing


Liyang, as Gao Ran said, the entire Wei County was included in Liu Xie's rule under the imperial court, Hanoi, Wei County plus Dong County, the power of the imperial court with the victory of this battle, has established a firm foothold in Wei County, those big families in Wei County, or fled to Yecheng with Yuan Shao, or were cleaned up by Liu Xie, as for the small family, Liu Xie did not move.

Liyang, the government has now become Liu Xie's temporary palace, a group of clerks transferred from Chang'an and Luoyang received the task from the government office, and left in a hurry, all counties in Wei County, from the county order, the county seat, the county tiger Benwei and the court lieutenant, all need to be reappointed, including Dongjun, must be sorted out as soon as possible.

Liu Xie was not in a hurry to continue to pursue Yuan Shao, no matter how big the country was, the grassroots were unstable, and it was just a castle in the air, Liu Xie needed to take advantage of this big victory to thoroughly implement the policies of the imperial court in Wei County.

This time, it is more ruthless than Nanyang at the beginning, after all, Liu Xie sent troops to Nanyang, the Nanyang family contributed to the city, and welcomed the imperial court, Liu Xie's action should not be too big, many things, have to take a moderate attitude, divide, crack down on a group, win over a group, and then gradually assimilate the group of people, and in Jizhou, there is no such concern, Liu Xie and Yuan Shao started the war during this time, the Jizhou family gate valve to Yuan Shao is to ask for money to give money to people, Liu Xie naturally will not leave any face.

The officials of Wei County, who should be withdrawn, those who dare to resist, have only one word, kill And there is the information collected by Tingwei, Hu Benwei and the secret guard, you can kill you are convinced, of course, there are side effects, that is, it will be more difficult to bulldoze Jizhou later, and the Jizhou family will do their best to help Yuan Shao to fight against the imperial court, but how can it be defeated, Yuan Shao's vitality is greatly injured, and he wants money and food, and the Jizhou family can help raise it, but the loss of these elites is not something that can be trained in a short period of time.

What's more, the dark pile laid by Liu Xie in Jizhou also began to play a role at this time, at least in terms of public opinion, it is impossible for the family to let the people die like that.

"Your Majesty, great joy" Pang De rushed in from outside the palace with an excited face, squeezed through the crowd, came to Liu Xie's side, handed over the two documents to Liu Xie, and said: "Zhang He and Gao Lan's two generals have surrendered, and a total of more than 11,000 soldiers and horses under his command have surrendered, plus the Jizhou surrender army captured before, our army now has nearly 80,000 people in Jizhou alone. ” "That's not a good thing."

Liu Xie rubbed his temples and frowned: "The army is about to catch up with the soldiers and horses of our army headquarters." ” The surrender of the army is also the group of people who are most likely to be rebelled, and disrupting and reorganizing may not be able to improve the combat effectiveness of the imperial court, and mixing a miscellaneous army with the elite will only lag behind.

You must know that this big battle, if you count from the Tiger Prison Pass, but you also have to count Yuan Shu's surrender army, plus the Black Mountain Army After this battle, it will also officially join the imperial court, in the long run, these soldiers will become the war potential of the imperial court, but before these surrendered troops are truly assimilated, the danger is not low, especially the number of surrendered troops combined, even more than the regular army.

"However, you can't ignore it."

Guo Jia groaned.

"Hmm."

Liu Xie nodded, if he ignored it, he would definitely mutiny.

"I have a way."

After Liu Xie pondered for a moment, he looked at Guo Jia and said: "These surrendered armies, including the Black Mountain Surrender Army and the Runan Surrender Army, are divided into fifteen large battalions, each battalion is 10,000, and the imperial court chooses generals who are good at training soldiers to conduct training.

The mediocre are of the third class, only for food, and the monthly salary is twenty cents. ” Liu Xie said while writing and drawing on the paper: "But these two and three classes are all irregular troops, and they must complete training before they can enter the regular army. ” In the establishment of the imperial court, there are military positions, when recording meritorious deeds, they will get some of the meritorious services of their subordinates, and the promotion will be faster, in fact, although the princes from all walks of life have not been subdivided in this way in the past, but in fact it is almost the same, but Liu Xie is now clearly planned, everything has a law to follow, and the low-level soldiers can obtain a higher status as long as they are willing to work hard, which is also the concept that Liu Xie has always implemented in the imperial army.

In fact, these surrendered troops can be regarded as veterans, training or something, just an excuse, what we really have to do is to let these people reorganize in a big way, and re-select the grassroots generals who belong to the imperial court, not directly sent by the imperial court, but selected from among them, which is easier for these surrendered troops to accept.

Moreover, these selected first-class and second-class pawns are all based on their ability, and since ancient times, the army has been respected by the strong, and these re-selected people are naturally more likely to be recognized by the soldiers, which is also to let these people adapt to the military merit system of the imperial court as soon as possible.

"But it's not bad."

Guo Jia thought about it, nodded and smiled: "But it will take time." ” "In a short period of time, these people don't need to participate in the war, what they have to do is to train and adapt, in addition to training generals, I am ready to wear a person in charge of the daily life of the soldiers in each army and" Liu Xie thought for a while and said: "People who establish a correct concept for them, but at present, we are short of manpower, and the civil servants sent by Chang'an have been planned to prepare for taking office, and they will be served by the training generals for the time being, and when the time is ripe in the future, they will be given to the army." ” "Concept" Guo Jia rubbed his eyebrows, every time Liu Xie popped up a new word in his mouth, he had to figure it out for a long time.

"To put it simply, it is loyalty to the imperial court, and the loyalty and belief that a warrior should have."

Liu Xie explained with a smile.

"Wonderful" Guo Jia's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he stroked his palms and smiled: "The minister thinks that this position should also be in the army." ” "There are not so many people now, the county clerks are enough of a headache, the county school has not yet completed their studies, this time alone, the states and counties obtained by our army, the talents reserved in the past few years are no longer enough" Liu Xie shook his head and sighed, Yuan Shao lost too quickly, it is a good thing and a bad thing, Liu Xie was originally ready to fight a protracted battle with Yuan Shao, and when the time comes, the first batch of talents in the county school will almost be able to come out.

Not yet, but next, the imperial court will take advantage of the victory to pursue, the entire territory of Jizhou, Youzhou and Qingzhou, the population of the territory will almost double, and Shuzhong has not been completely digested, after this battle, in the next three to five years, Liu Xie will have to digest this harvest, no matter how big the territory is, it will not be able to control it.

After all these years of training, Liu Xie has a clear idea of what he wants to do, he wants to re-consolidate the foundation of the Han Dynasty that has been gradually shaken since the Eastern Han Dynasty, therefore, the world must be unified, but what he wants is a world that completely belongs to the Han Dynasty, not an emperor who is nominally recognized by the world.

"Next, the minister thinks that if you don't rush to capture Yecheng, you should first master the three counties of Qinghe, Pingyuan, and Bohai, and cut off the communication between Qingzhou and Jizhou."

Guo Jia nodded, did not continue to say more on this issue, and continued to discuss the current situation with Liu Xie, looked at Liu Xie and said with a smile: "As far as the minister knows, the Cui family of Qinghe was invited by Yuan Shao to raise tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to support Qingzhou, at this time Qinghe and the plain are empty, since Your Majesty is not ready to attack Yecheng directly, but take these two counties first, you can further disperse Yuan Shao's forces." ” "Yes, the more dispersed the troops, the more beneficial it will be to our army," Liu Xie nodded and smiled when he heard this.

Yuan Shao lost 200,000 soldiers and horses at once, even if he recruited more men and horses, no matter the quantity or quality, it is impossible to compare with Liu Xie, the most important thing is that Yuan Shao did not stop the troops in this war, and the generals under his command lost a lot, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Han Qiong, Ma Yan, Zhao Rui died one after another, Zhang He and Gao Ran surrendered, and there are many generals under Liu Xie who can lead an army alone, and Yuan Shao is now, even the generals who have won the table, I am afraid there are not a few.

If you divide the troops, you can only watch Liu Xie encroach little by little, and if you divide the troops, even if there are enough troops, no one can lead the troops to fight, for Yuan Shao, this is the most embarrassing thing.

"Winter is coming, and the soldiers should also rest, so they ordered Huang Zhong and Guan Yu to clear the two counties."

Liu Xie said with a smile.

"Uh, why isn't it Zilong," Guo Jia looked at Liu Xie with some confusion.

"Zilong, you're too kind."

Liu Xie shook his head, when he let Zhao Yun guard Nanyang, it was because Zhao Yun was humble but able to keep the bottom line principle, no matter what the Nanyang family said, it was regarded as helping Liu Xie, and Liu Xie didn't want to do too much, so that after letting Yuan Lian be the Taishou of Nanyang, he ordered Zhao Yun to lead the Nanyang army, so as not to cause too many contradictions, but Jizhou is different, Liu Xie needs the kind of ruthless person who dares not to give face, to help himself make some decisions that are inconvenient for him to make, Guan Yu is undoubtedly a suitable candidate.

Guo Jia's heart moved, he already understood Liu Xie's thoughts, he smiled, and didn't ask any more. t1706231537:
