Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 583 Coming for the Qiang Tribe
In the hall, everyone dispersed, and Xi Zhicai stayed behind. After thinking about it, he still wanted to persuade him: "My lord, if you don't think about it, we may not have reached this point. As long as we can win the land of Yizhou as soon as possible, In the kingdom of Abundance in Bashu, raising one hundred thousand soldiers is not a problem, maybe..."

"How can there be so many possibilities!"

Mu Jing shook his head: "Everything can't be left to chance!"

"I'm still worried that the soldiers of the various ministries will have resentment, and the good situation will collapse in an instant!"

"No, I have confidence in them, and I have made sufficient preparations. If I don't have Hanzhong, I dare not do so, but now I have the land of Hanzhong, which can give the soldiers a place to recuperate. They may not I don’t want to take off this military robe!”

Mujing said confidently.

"It makes sense!" Xi Zhicai stopped admonishing him, and began to think about how to minimize the influence of the matter: "If you follow your plan, you are too ruthless, and at least three people will be laid off from each department." One-tenth!"

"Zhicai, it's not my heart, it's the current situation, you don't even think about it, under the watchful eyes of the public, we want to get ahead, it's so difficult, we have to be unprepared, and within a year or two, I don't plan to leave Hanzhong , Some of these soldiers and horses must be cut off, otherwise we will be consumed alive!"

Mujing smiled wryly.

Why doesn't he know that this is the pain of severed fingers, but there is no way, he has to do this.

Raising soldiers is not an easy task.

Although this era is not as good as later generations, especially in troubled times, basically as long as you manage food, you can find soldiers, but raising soldiers is still a very expensive thing.

For soldiers and horses, weapons, battle armor, and cavalry also need horses, and they need to be resupplied first during drills. After all, young and old people with bad influence cannot exert their strength in their prime. This sum is an astronomical figure. .

With the financial resources of the ten or twenty counties in Nanyang, Hanzhong, they can only raise [-] to [-] soldiers at most, which is already a bit militaristic.

"You first tell the people below to do this, and you will follow me to Mianyang tomorrow!"

Mu Jing instructed.

"Mianyang?"

Xi Zhicai was surprised: "What's the matter?"

"You'll know when the time comes!" Mu Jing smiled, stood up, shook his robe, turned and left.

………………

The next day.

Early in the morning, early in the morning, Chen Dao was dressed in military uniform, rode his horse and speared his guns, and led the most elite Qianbu of the Shuofang Camp, waiting outside the city.

Mu Jing and Xi Zhi came late.

The crowd gathered together and went straight to Mianyang City in the west.

Xi Zhicai held his breath, he didn't ask what Mu Jing said he came here, but he came out of the oppressive, restless and busy atmosphere of the Nanzheng government office, and he felt like traveling in the mountains and rivers along the way.

"The scenery in Hanzhong is really good!" Xi Zhicai rode on the horse, walking, lingering on the beauty of the scenery.

"It's because there are too many mountains and rivers, the roads are difficult to open, the traffic remains the same, and it's impossible to communicate with each other, which has caused the barrenness today!" Mu Jing said.

"You're such a disappointment!" Xi Zhicai curled his lips and said, "I'm in such a good mood, you can't just follow me and insist on talking about such troublesome things!"

"Subconscious reaction!"

Mu Jing smiled awkwardly, and said, "I'm also responsible!"

"roll!"

Xi Zhicai's wonderful mood of imagining the scenery is completely corrupted by Mujing's brazenness.

Arrived in Mianyang, before the evening.

It is now June, the weather is good, there is no rain, the road is smooth, and the road is naturally much faster. In addition, they are all equipped with war horses, and they arrived in one day after a journey of two or three days.

They are stationed in the station.

The rules that Mu Jing came down personally, from top to bottom, must be stationed in the post station. This is also for the sake of the Hanzhong post road. Only by opening up the post road can the nine counties of Hanzhong be integrated and formed into one.

The post station in Mianyang was well built. There were three courtyards inside and outside, allowing hundreds of people to settle in. The soldiers camped outside and the guards guarded inside.

……

Mianyang County Government.

Yu Shen, the magistrate of the county, hurried in from the outside, and an aide came up to meet him and asked, "My lord, have you seen the lord?"

"See you here!"

After Yu Shen walked in, he knelt down, took a sip of the tea brought by the servant, and said in a deep voice, "But it's as if I haven't seen it!"

"How to say?"

"He didn't summon me, but when he was welcoming the audience at the city gate, he gave me an emphatic look, and then he went straight to the station!"

Yu Shen, with four sea characters, in his thirties, young, with outstanding literary talents, is still a local school. The Yu family in Mianyang is a local gentry and the largest landlord in Mianyang. As the eldest son of the Yu family, Yu Shen has practiced martial arts since elementary school. Yang is quite literary.

In fact, it was less than a month since he took office. He used to be Mianyang County Captain, but because of the assassination of Mujing by a Hanzhong family, many families were wiped out from Nanzheng to Mianyang, and blood flowed like a river.

Mianyang was originally the sphere of influence of the Zheng family. It was controlled by the Zheng family from top to bottom. The Zheng family was uprooted. Naturally, this is the most serious area to clean up. Killed, killed, fled, the four officials of the county government, he was the only one left.

He was promoted by the front line of the Hanzhong Taishou Mansion and directly served as the county magistrate.

"Master Xian is worried that Junhou is coming for us this time!" one of the staff said in a low voice.

"Hard to say!"

Yu Shen said: "This Mianyang's blood is still not clean, if he wants to add more, none of us can do anything about him!"

He thought for a while, and said: "Don't guess, you will know tomorrow!"

……

One night passed, and it was very peaceful. Today's Hanzhong has already entered the era of the Minghou Mansion's rule. Since the massacre before, many people have settled down a lot.

Mu Jing slept soundly, but Xi Zhicai still had two dark circles when he woke up.

This made Mu Jing quite surprised, he stared at Xi Zhicai's two dark circles, and asked in a chirping voice: "What's wrong with you, did you become a flower picker last night?"

"roll!"

Xi Zhicai took a sideways look at Mu Jing, this man didn't look like a lord, he stretched his muscles and said: "I have something to do, the environment of this inn is not very good, I'd better go back early!"

"Delicate and expensive!" Mu Jing said contemptuously, "You are a scholar who is useless!"

"Aren't you upset by what you said?"

Xi Zhicai said angrily: "If your Minghou Mansion hadn't been supported by us useless scholars, wouldn't it be possible for you to let those martial arts companies manage it well?"

"Hahaha!"

Mujing laughed loudly: "I really can't do without you!"

After the two washed up, they ate breakfast, a bowl of porridge, and two rice cakes, and the morning meal was complete.

The two walked out of the post station, but Chen Dao didn't follow, he just released all the soldiers from the Shuofang battalion, and kept a close watch in the city. He sent people to watch all the army camps and places where soldiers could be hidden, and guarded Mujing and Xi'an. Zhicai is the Divine Guard.

Zhang Ning, the commander of the Divine Guard Army, wore a Confucian gown and white clothes, with a hair bun in a male style, and a sword at his waist.

"Subordinate Yu Shen, pay respects to the Lord!"

Yu Shen led the people of the county government to wait outside the post station early in the morning.

"Subordinate Zhao Yu, pay homage to the Lord!"

"Subordinates..."

Zhao Yu, the county magistrate, Fang Yi, the county lieutenant, Bai Hua, the county magistrate, and officials from various ministries are among them.

"No need to be polite!"

Mu Jing waved his hand: "I just had a whim today, just to see the city of Mianyang, the county magistrate and Zhao Xiancheng stayed behind, and you all go to busy, don't delay the county government affairs, now Mianyang, a hundred things are waiting to be done , don't mess with me!"

"promise!"

Everyone nodded, except for the county magistrate and the county magistrate, they all breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and left, returned to the county office, and started to work conscientiously, not daring to be lazy at all.

"Magistrate Yu, County Chancellor Zhao, Benhou is not very familiar with Mianyang, can you accompany me around?" Mu Jing's eyes inspected the two of them.

Yu Shen is a local faction, and was promoted to the top leader in order to stabilize Mianyang.

Zhao Yu was put down by the prefect's mansion. He was about 40 years old and came from a poor family. He was depressed and unsuccessful before. He was just a clerk in the Nanzheng county government, and he was highly regarded by Ye Mingsheng. He rose to the top and became the magistrate of Mianyang county.

"promise!"

The two nodded, although they still couldn't figure it out, but what Mujing said, they would do what they thought, and they would not be wrong.

Everyone walked up the street, and the guards of the Divine Guard scattered in all directions, forming a circle with a distance of about ten steps, but nothing could be seen, as if they were just a group of young masters.

"Mianyang can be regarded as a rare big city in Hanzhong!"

Mujing looked at the surrounding houses, the people in the streets were in tattered clothes, and some children looked at them with ignorant and fearful eyes, and he sighed: "But now it seems that the life of the people is not as good as that of Shangyongxi City. !"

"The subordinate is dereliction of duty!"

Yu Shen quickly pleaded guilty.

"Magistrate Yu just took office, so I can't blame you, but if I come back in the future, if this is the case, then you must be guilty of dereliction of duty!" Mu Jing said with a smile.

"Yes!"

Yu Shen was sweating like rain.

A group of people walked to the West Market. There is a big market in Mianyang. This is the West Market. It was built on the shore of Mian River. After entering, I immediately felt the atmosphere of crowded people.

"Mianyang still has such a large-scale market, I'm afraid it's not much worse than Nanzheng?" Xi Zhicai was a little surprised. According to what he saw just now, although Mianyang is a big city and has a large population, it is obvious that Not having a good time.

"You're wrong, this place is more lively than Nanzheng!"

Mujing looked ahead, his eyes sparkled, he couldn't help smiling, and said.

Xi Zhicai followed Mujing's line of sight and looked over. What he saw were a few Qiang men wearing tiger and leopard skins, who were trading at a grain stall with the things in their hands.

The two sides of the transaction were arguing, and the Chinese of the Qiang people was sloppy. After a while, they reached a deal. Three strong Qiang people exchanged the animal skins in their hands for three bags of rice, and then carried Mi swaggered away from the market.

Xi Zhicai had a flash of inspiration, and said immediately, "So you came here for the Qiang tribe!"
