Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 470 Liu Yan's Ambition One
The establishment of the Minghou Mansion went smoothly. It was based on the old team of the Xiangguo Mansion at the time, and established a political system framework in which Mujing was the main character.

At the beginning, Mushan died in Luoyang in the battle, and the Mudang, which had power over the ruling and opposition parties, was like a house built on a pile of sand. It collapsed instantly, and all the ministers under the Mudang's command were cleaned up. Except for Shangshu Cai Yong, none of the officials followed. The officials of Jiuqing were either persuaded by Wang Yun or forced to go south by Dong Zhuo.

But as the so-called rotten ship still has three points of nails, although Mushan suppressed the court with great strength, resulting in unpopularity, but when he was in charge of the court, he also promoted many officials who were depressed because of their family background. Following Mu Jing to break through the encirclement and go south, there are about seven or eight court officials, all of whom are the minions of the Mu party, most of them are only officials with a salary of about [-] shi, but even so, they are still the talents of a county, and it is these people who are the team members. The system of Jing's Minghou Mansion quickly began to operate.

Under Minghou Mujing, the Minghou Mansion set up Sima, Chang Shi, Zhu Bo, three official positions, which were equivalent to the three princes in the imperial court, and governed all military and political affairs of the Minghou Mansion.

After a few days of discussions, Mu Jing forcefully split the opinions of the public and appointed Hu Zhao as the chief historian of the Marquis of Ming Dynasty to take charge of the affairs of the Marquis. In addition, Liu Jin was the master and Xi Zhicai was the Sima. The prestige of the land is the best, using him as the master is mainly to stabilize people's hearts, and Xi Zhi is the military advisor, and using him as Sima is to tell everyone Mujing to trust his military advisor ability.

At the same time, Mu Jing established the South Study Room and the North Martial Arts Hall under the Marquis Mansion. This is different from the ordinary self-government system of opening a mansion, but he made an advance preparation for the future civil and military division.

The current official system of the imperial court has some vague powers. For example, the governor of a county has jurisdiction over major military and political affairs, which is equivalent to a prince of one party.
This is one of the sources of power out of control.

But Mujing didn't want to eat a big fat man in one bite. The official system that has been maintained for so many years is not so easy to change.

Since ancient times, reformers have had a hard time dying, and he will not provoke this bottom line unless he has absolute strength.

But there are some things that we know are wrong and backward, so we must change.

So he established the South Study Room and the North Martial Hall to prepare for the establishment of his own administrative system in the future.

However, under the North Martial Hall and the South Study Room, he imitated the ancient prime minister's mansion system and established thirteen cao, and each cao set up a master...

That's enough to shut everyone's mouths.

The establishment of the Minghou Mansion was due to the efforts of Hu Zhao and others. Departments began to be perfected one by one. Starting with the jurisdiction of the six counties, the embryonic form of a warlord gradually took shape.

At this time, Mujing's attention began to focus on the affairs of the army.

The six counties of Nanyang are not places to stay for a long time, and they are not enough to serve as his foundation in the future. His next plan is to enter Hanzhong, and he must enter Hanzhong before Yuan Shu completely eats up the entire Yuzhou. Here, the future of the road to Hanzhong is unknown, and he is tantamount to having no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth.

And if he wants to enter Hanzhong, there must be a fierce battle. Even if Xizhi can persuade Liu Yan and get Liu Yan's approval in the end, he still has to face Zhang Lu. Zhang Lu alone is very difficult. The Tao of Heavenly Masters is no less than the existence of the Tao of Peace.

Without absolute strength, he would not dare to enter Hanzhong, and once Liu Yan was not moved by his conditions and suppressed his desire, it would be a bloody battle.

In any case, it is best to be able to convince Liu Yan, and if he is not convinced, he can only fight. Once a war starts, the strength of the troops is the most important.

Mujing now has four soldiers and horses, although a lot of them have been beaten and disrupted, and their troops have been severely damaged. Even with the addition of the Yangshan Battalion, there are less than [-] troops, but these are all from the mountains of swords and seas of fire. The elite veterans killed in the middle of the war.

Now there is only a little time to adjust and cultivate. As long as he recovers, the 20 to [-] troops can be used as [-] troops, and he will have confidence in entering Hanzhong.

So during this period of time, Mu Jing put all his energy on it. In troubled times, there are soldiers who are the kings of grass heads. Nothing is more important than restoring the fighting spirit of the soldiers.

Fighting fiercely against the Kwantung Allied Forces and breaking through Guanzhong, the battle after battle has exhausted all the soldiers of the Mu Army, especially the death of each of the Paoze on the battlefield, which has traumatized the hearts of many soldiers. When they were in Guanzhong, they faced every day. In a life-and-death crisis, even if one comrade-in-arms brother fell down, they could still grit their teeth and persist for them, but now they relaxed their will and fell to the bottom.

This time is when the strength of the Mu army is at its weakest. Mu Jing must come in to restore the fighting spirit of the soldiers, so that the Mu army can recover its fighting power. Therefore, he immediately held a mourning meeting in the name of Jiang Lu, for all the soldiers who died in the battle. The silent mourning, but this is not enough, he needs more means to let these soldiers come out of their grief...

……

Yizhou, Shu County.

Mianzhu County.

There is a grain store on the most central street in the county, named Chen's Grain Store.

The shopkeeper of this grain store is a Hongnong man named Chen Yu, about forty, kind-hearted, always smiling and friendly, he is also a well-known merchant among the merchants in Bashu, he is good at buying local Then transport the grain to the north for sale. I heard that he has a big backer in the north. The local grain merchants also transport the Bashu soldiers out. Because the Bashu grain is abundant and the grain price is low, but the profit is at least several times when transported out, so they will give He has some face.

The backyard of the grain store.

As the shopkeeper, Chen Yuzheng knelt in front of one of them, saluting respectfully: "Master, I have already found out that in three days, Liu Yan will come to Mianzhu to inspect the Dongzhou Army's drills, and will settle down at the post station in the south of the city. "

"That's good news."

When Tan Zong heard this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After entering Yizhou for so long, he has never been able to find a chance to meet Liu Yan in secret without He Fang's eyes, and now he has a chance.

"Master, we don't know Liu Yan's attitude yet. If you come forward in person, you are afraid of danger. Why don't you go with me?"

Chen Yu said.

No one knew that shopkeeper Chen, who took root in the Bashu business circle in just one year, was once a knight-errant.

When he was forced to die by the local county magistrate, it was Jingwusi who rescued him and avenged him. He was sold to Jingwusi all his life. Now he said that Jingwusi was the banner envoy of Shu County.

"You can't do this!" Tan Zong shook his head, and then added: "It's about the life and death of the lord, and I can't do it either. Someone will see him."

"Who is it?" Chen Yu asked.

"You don't need to ask who it is, there is one thing that you must do now." Tan Zong's face was serious.

"Please tell the boss!" Chen Yu folded his hands and stood by.

"This trip is dangerous, and the person who went to see Liu Yan is the lord's most important confidant. It is very important to the lord's future. The responsibility of our Jingwu Division is to ensure that this person leaves safely regardless of the success or failure of the negotiation."

Tan Zong said in a deep voice: "For this reason, our Jing Wusi can sacrifice everything, not only all the foundations in Bashu these years, including your and my lives."

He paused, and continued: "I have dispatched 150 rangers into Shu County, and you can arrange the rest."
