Great Military Division

Chapter 515 The good news arrives, the emperor is shocked, and the mandarin duck army is rewarded!
Nanyang, Wancheng.

The Emperor's Palace.

Wende Hall.

Liu Bian sat at the head, held the memorial, and nodded slowly in praise: "Well, yes, the spring plowing work in Jizhou has all been on the right track. Xun Chen does have some ability, and I have not disappointed."

Xun Yu below heaved a sigh of relief. He was very afraid that his younger brother would not be able to complete the task of the court. After all, he had been delayed for a while before, and the degree of difficulty in completing such a task was indeed relatively high.

but
After all, Xun Chen did not disappoint Xun Yu.

Since this period of time, Xun Chen has been running around on the horse every day, and even some specific situations have been solved together in the process of handling tasks. Through hard work, he barely gained efficiency.

It is precisely because of this that in a short period of time, the millions of Black Mountain Army personnel can be properly arranged to distribute cultivated land, cattle, and farming tools before the official land reclamation and planting.

of course!

The most important thing is that Xun Yu's big backstage is relatively strong, especially when it comes to the provision of farming tools, he always prepares in advance every time, so that he doesn't hold back Xun Chen. Otherwise, no matter how capable Xun Chen is, it would be impossible Solving such a difficult problem in such a short period of time.

Xun Yu bowed his head: "Your Majesty's praise, You Ruo, is barely qualified."

Liu Bian put down the memorial and looked up at Xun Yu: "Wen Ruo, what kind of position do you think I should give him?"

"Ah, this"

Xun Yu hurriedly bowed and saluted, with a worried expression on his face, he said: "I am Xun Chen's brother, and I can recommend it, but this is still a matter of His Majesty's Sacred Heart. How dare I persuade you at will, no matter what position your Majesty gives, you can also recommend him." I'm sorry for him."

Although it is said that virtuous people do not avoid relatives, but when it comes to matters of interest, Xun Yu dares to intervene too much. The impact on himself is really too great, so he should avoid suspicion.

After all, His Majesty had to make a decision on this kind of matter. Instead of actively seeking a job, it would be better to wait for His Majesty to reward him. Xun Yu was very good at handling such matters.

of course.

Now that the world is about to be settled, and it is time to employ talents, Liu Bian will not let such a capable person go because of such a small matter, so he does not know.

In fact, he had already discussed it with the experts of the Military Division Alliance. Now that the power of the Yuan family has been completely wiped out, it is completely unnecessary to entangle in matters such as background, and everything must be in line with ability.

Therefore, at this moment, Liu Bian was too lazy to talk nonsense, and said bluntly: "Well, although the spring plowing in Jizhou is on the right track now, there are still many things to be dealt with in the follow-up, so let him do it first. , and then promoted."

Don't do it!

It can be described as the second in command of a state.

Xun Chen had just arrived, and he was able to obtain such an official position, even Xun Yu was shocked: "Your Majesty, is such an official position a bit too high?"

"how?"

Liu Bian asked back: "Are you questioning my vision?"

Xun Yu hurriedly cupped his hands and apologized: "How dare you, I'm afraid."

Before Xun Yu could finish speaking, Liu Bian interrupted with a wave of his hand: "Okay, the imperial court's assessment system is not for decoration. If Xun Chen fails to complete the assessment next time, he will still be dismissed and give way to capable people."

Xun Yu naturally understood this, so he accepted it with peace of mind: "Thank you Your Majesty, I will definitely persuade my younger brother to work hard and live up to Your Majesty's expectations."

"Oh, right."

Liu Bian suddenly remembered something, and asked instead: "Has the reservoir construction project in Youzhou started yet? It will be filled in summer, and now we must hurry up."

"Your Majesty can rest assured, the arrangements have been made."

Xun Yu hurriedly saluted and immediately reported to His Majesty the Emperor: "The moment Yuan Shao was captured, the court's water conservancy experts rushed to Youzhou with His Majesty's engineering drawings."

"At present, Tian Chou has begun to recruit relevant personnel to conduct surveys on the three major reservoirs. Once the survey is completed, it will immediately enter the construction state, and materials from all parties will be transported from Jizhou and Bingzhou as soon as possible."

"Remember!"

Liu Bian reminded: "Don't delay farming because of the construction of the reservoir. If it doesn't work, you can mobilize people from the army to help. The northern border is established and there will be no war in a short period of time. Restoring people's livelihood is the top priority."

Xun Yu smiled lightly, and said with absolute certainty: "Your Majesty, rest assured, this matter has been discussed with Gongsun, Tian Chou and others in advance, and the spring plowing will definitely not be delayed."

"The early stage is the survey data, and then the earthwork and blasting operations will be carried out. All of these will be done by the army. Part of it is the original garrison in Youzhou, and the other part is adapted from the soldiers and horses of the Black Mountain Army."

"His Majesty."

Speaking of this, Xun Yu cupped his hands again and said: "The Black Mountain Army has been reorganized, and now it is registering a roster, including masons, carpenters, tailors, etc."

"The minister will send people to be selected in advance, and those with construction experience will be assigned to Luoyang Project and Youzhou Reservoir Project to ensure the smooth progress of the project."

call-

Liu Bian let out a long breath, completely letting go of his hanging heart.

I have to admit that having a competent go-getter is indeed more worry-free and labor-saving.

You only need to arrange the corresponding things, and the other party will naturally arrange the rest of the details for you.

Just like Xun Yu, as long as it is something he has arranged, even if some details are forgotten by him, he will arrange it in advance according to his habitual way.

perhaps
This is what the military division alliance mentioned.

Xun Yu and the others have gotten used to their own management style, passed the running-in period, and entered a period of tacit understanding with a high degree of compatibility. Only in this way can the court operate in the most efficient way.

"Very good."

Liu Bian nodded with great interest: "Very good."

Xun Yu bowed his head: "Your Majesty, I will take my leave now that this matter is over."

"kindness."

Liu Bian responded, waved his hand and said, "Retire, work hard, and if you need to communicate about anything, just come over at any time."

Xun Yu cupped his hands: "Here."

Immediately.

Bow down and leave the hall.

Not long after Xun Yu left the hall, there was a long announcement from outside the hall:
"Report—!"

Liu Bian looked up.

But seeing, Zhu Tong pushed the door open and entered, bowed his body and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Guo Jia, the school official, asked to see him, and said that there is a good news from Jingnan."

The corners of Liu Bian's lips raised slightly, with a smile on his face: "Oh? There is a good news coming back so soon? Let Feng Xiao come in."

Zhu Tong nodded: "Well."

Immediately.

Bow down and leave the hall.

Not long after, Guo Jia came to the Wende Hall, stepped forward, bowed his body and cupped his hands: "Minister Guo Jia, see Your Majesty."

Liu Bian waved his hand to signal him to sit aside, and said softly, "Feng Xiao, is this a good news for Zhou Yu? Has he dealt with the Wuxi Man?"

Guo Jia nodded affirmatively: "That's right, General Zhou has already persuaded Samoke to surrender, and the Wuxi Man has surrendered to the imperial court. At present, the relevant personnel of the imperial court are already negotiating matters with the Wuxi Man."

"Moreover, Shamoke is also using its power in Jingnan to help the court and disintegrate the Wuling barbarians allied with Cai Mao. So far, it has been quite effective. Six barbarians have surrendered to us."

"His Majesty."

Guo Jia bowed deeply: "You were so right when you chose Zhou Yu as the general of the Mandarin Duck Army. He has a political vision, and he managed to win the greatest victory at the lowest cost, which is really admirable."

nonsense!

That's Zhou Yu.

A famous handsome talent in history.

A small mandarin duck army is nothing, even if he is allowed to command the three armies like Sun Jian, there is no problem.

However, Liu Bian's expression was extremely calm, as if everything was expected: "Well, Zhou Yu is indeed powerful. This time, he went straight to the territory of Wuxi Man and crossed at least hundreds of miles of mountain roads, but he didn't show himself."

"This alone is enough to prove that he has a delicate mind and rigorous thinking. Among our many commanders, I am afraid that few can match him. This man is a handsome talent."

Guo Jia nodded approvingly: "Yes, although Zhou Yu is not very old, under his management, the combat effectiveness of the Mandarin Duck Army is probably not inferior to that of Deng Zhishi, or even worse."

"I heard that Deng Peng, Deng Zhi's original lieutenant, has a fiery temper. Ordinary people don't pay attention to it at all. But I didn't expect this kid to be so obedient in front of Zhou Yu."

Naturally, Liu Bian had also heard about this, and nodded with a faint smile: "If Zhou Yu can't even control a little Deng Peng, then how can he talk about commanding the three armies?"

Guo Jia heard the meaning of His Majesty's words, and said softly: "Unfortunately, Zhou Yu is still a little too young, and now he has quickly wiped out the Jingnan barbarians. dispute."

"Yes."

Liu Bian understood this truth.

In particular, once the Great Han is unified, the war zone will definitely be re-planned in the future, and the commander-in-chief will also approve it.

For the sake of fairness, military exploits will definitely be used as an important reference point. Based on this calculation, Zhou Yu will indeed suffer a disadvantage: "There is no way, in order to make up for Zhou Yu, I can only hand over the barbarians in southern Yizhou to him to smooth it out."

"Yizhou?"

Guo Jia frowned, a little unable to keep up with the emperor's train of thought.

but
As long as he thinks of the recent purchase policy of the Golden Silk Monkey and the soaring price, Guo Jia understands the meaning of the emperor, and said softly:
"I'm afraid it will take time to decide this matter. Your Majesty's reward this time is also very important to the Mandarin Duck Army. Your Majesty should be clear that although Zhou Yu has a certain view of the overall situation, it does not mean that his subordinates can understand it."

"kindness."

Liu Bian nodded: "That's for sure. How about this? Although you can't be promoted in military positions, you can give everyone some substantial benefits in terms of benefits."

In Nanyang’s military rank system, the military rank and welfare benefits are right. The higher the military rank, the higher the welfare benefits. In a sense, the ultimate goal of everyone’s military exploits is For welfare.

Therefore, for ordinary soldiers, it is understandable that as long as the welfare benefits go up, whether the military rank is promoted or not is not so important for the time being.

Guo Jiayi bowed: "Your Majesty is wise."

As long as the thoughts of the grassroots soldiers are resolved, the Mandarin Duck Army will naturally stabilize.

Liu Bian paused for a moment, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "Since that's the case, let Wen Ruo be sent to issue an edict to improve the overall welfare of the Mandarin Duck Army and enjoy the same treatment as those in the trapped camp."

The trapped camp and the mandarin duck army are two professional armies.

One fought in the north and one fought in the south.

Prior to this, the trapping camp made great contributions to Humvee, whether it was in military positions or welfare benefits, all of them had substantial improvements, not losing to Lu Bu, Huang Zhong and others.

Now, Liu Bian has raised the Yuanyang Army that has been hidden for two years to this level. For the soldiers of the Yuanyang Army, they can breathe a sigh of relief.

Guo Jia gave a bow: "Here."

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Liu Bian suddenly heard something, and asked tentatively, "Oh, by the way, how are you preparing for Zijing's Luoyang City real estate pre-sale seminar?"

Guo Jia stopped and turned back: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, everything is proceeding in an orderly manner. At present, many people are paying attention to this project, especially among merchants. It has already become a topic of conversation after dinner."

"I think"

Guo Jiachang let out a sigh: "Once the Luoyang Imperial City pre-sale starts, the house will definitely be sold out."

Liu Bian had already expected this point, and no one has more business acumen than these merchants: "What about Feng Xiaoni, are you ready to come up with a set?"

"Ah, this"

Guo Jia didn't dare to hide it, and said softly: "I really want to buy it, but I'm so shy."

Liu Bian gave his opinion: "Now, sell the Nanyang real estate that I gave you and raise enough funds to buy a house in Luoyang. With your salary and bonus, you can buy a house with a loan. There must be no problem."

Guo Jia smiled indifferently: "To be honest, Wen Ruo and Zijing persuaded the ministers in the same way. I heard that Wen Ruo's house has already found a buyer, and even the price has been negotiated."

"Oh?"

Liu Bian was amazed: "Wen Ruo moves so fast."

Guo Jia said softly: "Yes, Wen Ruo's movements are quite fast, and he was forced to do nothing. Many of the Xun family's children have been admitted to the imperial court's establishment. Those who have gone out have already gone out, but those who have not, Still staying at his house."

Liu Bian nodded and nodded: "What about Fengxiao you? Do you have any plans?"

"I?"

Guo Jia frowned, and took a long breath: "Your Majesty should be clear, the minister is fond of wine, and those salaries and bonuses can't be saved at all. If I sell the house, I don't know where I will live."

"Besides, I think that even if the imperial court moves the capital to Luoyang, Wancheng in the future will definitely be a transit between Xiangyang and Luoyang. The importance is self-evident, and its housing price must be guaranteed."

Liu Bian had to admit it.

Guo Jia's analysis does make sense.

But
He is definitely not a qualified businessman, because he does not understand the economics of selling high and buying low.

Although the house is still the same house, if you sell it at a high point and buy it back at a low point, wouldn't that be equivalent to making a lot of money for nothing?

Engage in investment!
The important thing is to learn to follow the trend and not go against the trend, as this will not end well.

Of course, Liu Bian would not give too much advice on this kind of matter. I believe that Lu Su, Xun Yu and others have already worn out all the words that should be slapped, and it is useless to talk more.

Besides, Liu Bian believes that Guo Jia understands the truth, he just disdains money, this kind of thing has no place in his heart at all.

*****
Jingnan.

Sun Jian's camp.

Central Army, big tent.

Sun Jian looked up to the sky and laughed wildly: "Haha, General Zhou is really powerful. If he doesn't make a move, he will be fine. Once he makes a move, he will finish off the Wuxi barbarian Shamoke. Sun really admires him."

"You should know."

Speaking of this, Sun Jian was completely relieved: "When I was the governor of Changsha, I used to kill enemies across counties, but I never went to Wuling County."

Zhou Yu smiled, and the corners of his lips raised slightly: "Is it possible that the general is afraid of these people?"

Sun Jian didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "Really, I, Sun Jian, would not be afraid of these guys, but if they can't beat them, they will definitely flee to the mountains, and once the army enters the deep mountains, they will definitely be ambushed by them."

"I'm not afraid of them, but I think they are too difficult to deal with, like a swarm of flies, buzzing incessantly above your head, almost annoying to death."

"Now."

Sun Jian was full of confidence and said proudly: "You helped me get rid of those barbarians in Wuling Mountain. As for the remaining Changsha, Guiyang, and Lingling counties, there is no difficulty for me at all."

Zhou Yu nodded and nodded: "As long as I can help the general, general, do you have anything else to ask me besides this matter? If not, the general will have to go back to the camp and communicate with the rest of the barbarians."

"Look at my brain."

Sun Jian slapped his forehead, suddenly remembered, and hurriedly took out something from the side of the handsome case: "General Zhou, this is an order from His Majesty, for your Yuanyang Army."

"Although your military exploits are not very great this time, the strategic significance is very important. Therefore, the imperial court specially approved that the benefits and benefits of the Yuanyang Army will be raised from the general to the soldiers."

"Here!"

Sun Jian handed it over directly: "Here, take it."

Zhou Yu hurriedly took the edict, opened it to browse, and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's really great, this time I can have an account with my brothers, and I know that His Majesty will never forget us."

"Yes."

Sun Jian nodded affirmatively: "The Wuling barbarians are not so easy to deal with. Even though the Yuanyang army is good at fighting, they are not familiar with the terrain. If they want to fight to the death with these guys in the mountains, the court will definitely have to work hard."

"This is not just a question of military strength, there are even food transportation, county management, and maintenance of roads and bridges. These are all big problems, and they may not be solved in a hundred years."

"If you want to defeat the Wuling barbarians, you can't do it hard. You have to be like a general, subdue Samoke, and rely on his deterrent power to bring him back to the court."

I think that when Sun Jian was the governor of Changsha in Jingnan, he also heard about the achievements of the Wuling barbarians. In the final analysis, there are only two words: Xiaoqiang who is difficult to deal with and can't be beaten to death!

If you can't eliminate him, you're fine. The most important thing is that he can attack at will, attack the county town, attack the army, steal food and grass, and even destroy farming, killing you by surprise, and making you unable to catch people.

There is no governor of Wuling or governor of Jingzhou who is not worried about the Wuling barbarians, and no governor of Wuling or governor of Jingzhou has really conquered the barbarians of Wuling.

But this time.
However, Sun Jian believed extremely that the Wuling barbarians would submit to the imperial court!

This is not only because of the ever-victorious mandarin duck army, but also because of the benevolent government of the Nanyang Hanting, which can truly benefit every common people, so that they can truly enjoy the treatment of the Han people. This is the real national integration.

of course!

The most important thing is that His Majesty the Emperor is still young, and such a policy can be guaranteed for at least 30 years, or even 50 years, completely reaching two or three generations.

The most taboo thing about national integration is the change of dynasty and sudden policy changes. Once the wind direction changes, I am afraid that all the previous efforts will be in vain, especially the short-lived emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which is a terrible rhythm.

The things promised by the previous emperor will probably be abolished by the second emperor, and even fight against the alien race, moving the situation back to decades ago. In this way, the hatred between the two sides will only deepen.

"It's true."

As far as this is concerned, Zhou Yu can only tell Sun Jian honestly: "Actually, what really prompted the general to do this is not Yu's intention, but His Majesty's order."

"From the very beginning, His Majesty was very aware of the threat of the Jingnan barbarians. It was His Majesty who gave the general a personal letter, telling the general to focus on attacking the mind, and killing the enemy second. That's why the general temporarily changed the battle plan."

"Oh?"

Sun Jian was astonished: "It's His Majesty?"

Zhou Yu nodded: "Well, it is indeed His Majesty's order. The Yuanyang Army has been hidden in the snow for two years. Everyone can't wait to make contributions, even the last general."

"If it wasn't for the timely handwritten letter sent by His Majesty, it is very likely that the last general will cooperate with the general to slowly attack the city one city at a time, and hand over the outer areas to the general and the mountains and forests to my subordinates, that's all."

When Sun Jian heard this, he admired His Majesty even more: "Your Majesty is truly a god-man, so I have to obey."

Zhou Yu nodded approvingly: "That's right, follow Your Majesty, I believe that sooner or later the Mandarin Duck Army will have a big battle."

"That's true."

Sun Jian realized something right away, and echoed, "Yizhou is also a mountainous area, and there are also many barbarians there. Although the current imperial court ignores Yizhou, there will be a war in Yizhou sooner or later."

"That's right!"

With a smile on his face, Zhou Yu cupped his hands towards Sun Jian: "Heroes see the same thing. Your Majesty is wise and powerful. How can you give up Yizhou because of that little thing?"

"Yizhou Mu Liu Yan, on the other hand, has made himself more passive because of this relationship. When His Majesty has leveled the world, he will definitely concentrate his forces to deal with Yizhou Liu Yan."

"The Mandarin Duck Army is in Yizhou, where it can best display its combat effectiveness. How can Your Majesty not use our Mandarin Duck Army? I'm afraid that is the time for our Mandarin Duck Army to truly make contributions."

Sun Jian couldn't help looking at Zhou Yu three points high, nodded and praised: "You are really good, you have a long-term vision, and you are not in a hurry. You are indeed a handsome talent. I am afraid that you will become the next Zhang Liao, or Cao Cao, or even surpass him in a short time." And nothing less."

Zhou Yu hastily bowed his hand and returned the salute: "The last general dares not to think about it, but he is just trying to be himself, and trying to do everything His Majesty told him."

"As for the commander in chief?"

Zhou Yu shook his head slowly, and smiled contemptuously: "The junior general has so much qualifications, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public."

Sun Jian was full of confidence: "Seniority? Do you think His Majesty will be an emperor based on seniority?"
