Rise of the Heavens

Chapter 245 The Strategy in the Ship (Fourth Change)
As a host, the most important thing is to give both kindness and power. Gao Cheng was the founding emperor of the last world for ten years. This kind of method has been honed to perfection. A few simple words can make Lu Dai's heart surge. A few times, Lu Dai might be loyal to him.

As long as he doesn't go against the grain, the chances of his famous ministers and generals betraying him will be infinitely low.After all, in the world of the Three Kingdoms, the folk customs are simple and honest, they pay attention to integrity, and they attach great importance to the word loyalty and filial piety.Not as morally depraved as the world he was originally in.

Then Gao Cheng said: "Everyone, the fleet crossed the Yingshui River and arrived at the Huaihe River. The south side is Lujiang County. After arriving there, please help me to make contributions to the great man together!"

Gao Cheng straightened up and bowed seriously to the people below, then he glanced at them and said, "Before arriving at Lujiang, I will introduce to you first, this is Mr. Xi and later my military advisor , responsible for military strategy!"

"This is Duke Xuande. From now on, he will be the master of Lujiang County. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei will each lead [-] soldiers and serve as school lieutenants."

"Lv Dai and Jiang Qin command the navy! Xu Xuan is the postal supervisor, and pickets the county officials, soldiers and civilians!"

Before coming to Lujiang County, Gao Cheng first arranged everyone's positions.Among them, the prefect of the county and the commander of the soldiers of the county are the highest civil and military officials in a county, so this is naturally Gao Cheng's position.

The prefect's subordinates are divided into civil and military. Among them, there are four important civil positions. The first is the county magistrate. This position can only be appointed by the court and is the deputy of the prefect.He has great power, and his status in Lujiang is second only to the prefect.

Under the prefect of the county, there are three staff members, the meritorious officer, the chief bookkeeper, and the superintendent post. Among them, the meritorious officer is in charge of all personnel in the county; the chief bookman is in charge of documents; And the existing aides are not full-time officials of the imperial court.But the rights are great.

Gao Cheng appointed Liu Bei as the chief secretary, showing great sincerity.However, in the position of the master book, the power can be said to be big or small, and it is not as good as Gongcao and Duyou who directly control the power in the county.This is what he did on purpose.In order to prevent the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang from joining forces to make him empty.

The military position under the prefect's command is first of all the county captain, who is in charge of all the county soldiers.The county soldiers also belong to the officers and soldiers of the Han Dynasty. According to the positions of the Han army, they are divided into Wuchang, Shichang, Dubo, Tunjiang, and Xiaowei!Above the school lieutenant is the county captain.

According to the military system of the Han Dynasty, there are official positions such as partial generals and miscellaneous generals above the school lieutenant, but this kind of official position belongs to the forbidden army such as the fifth school of the Northern Army, and has a high status.

When Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were in Anxi County, they could only serve as infantry and horse archers, but when they joined Gao Cheng's command, they were immediately appointed as school lieutenants, and they could lead [-] soldiers. Their status rose by more than a dozen levels in an instant.

After hearing the appointment, everyone bowed down and thanked him.

Xi Zhicai only has the title of a military adviser this time, and he has no official position, but no one dares to underestimate him in the slightest.Everyone could feel from Gao Cheng's attitude that he valued Xi Zhicai.

After a while, Xi Zhicai said: "My lord, I heard that there are many bandits and bandits in Lujiang County, and there are also many local tyrants. The bandits and bandits are led by the captains. It is not difficult to win with the strength of the captains, but Settling refugees, restraining tyrants, reclaiming wasteland, measuring land...these things are also very important!"

"Governing counties and sorting out internal affairs are the foundation of a county. Does the envoy retain the position of meritorious officer because he wants to retain talents who are good at internal affairs?"

Gongcao is in charge of the appointment and removal of personnel in a county, which is the position with the greatest power among the prefect's staff.Xi Zhicai had just noticed that Gao Cheng deliberately left the position of meritorious service officer, and his heart moved, so he asked.

Gao Cheng nodded and said, "That's right. I intend to recruit Zhang Zhao from Pengcheng. This person has the talent of Xiao He. If he can become a meritorious Cao in Lujiang, most of what Zhicai said just now can be solved!"

Pengcheng Zhang Zhao?

Except for Xu Xuan, Jiang Qin and Lu Dai, none of the people present had heard of Zhang Zhao's name, but when they heard Gao Cheng's praise of him, they secretly kept his name in their hearts.

Especially Liu Bei, when he heard Xiao Hezhi's words, his eyes lit up slightly.

There was a trace of hesitation on Xu Xuan's face, Gao Cheng noticed his expression, and asked proactively, "Does Baojian have anything to say?"

Xu Xuanwen said with a wry smile on his face, "My lord, when I was in Guangling, I knew a man who came from a poor family like me and was quite talented. I wanted to recommend him to my lord, but this person is different from mine. The relationship is not good, so I am a little hesitant! If this person refuses the lord's enlistment because of my relationship, it may affect the lord's reputation!"

"Oh? Who is this person?" Gao Cheng asked with a hint of interest in his heart.

Xu Xuan said: "He is Chen Jiao from Dongyang, Guangling. He is eloquent and upright. He is proficient in the law and good at internal affairs. He can be called a hero!"

Gao Cheng's heart skipped a beat, "Chen Jiao! Chen Jibi, it really is him, a humble hero who is as famous as Xu Xuan, and later became the founding hero of Cao Wei. "

"This is also a great talent!"

After Gao Cheng knew Chen Jiao's name, he immediately said: "Since he is a hero, how can he be ignored because of his reputation? Duke Ding, let me write a conquest order in hand, appointing Chen Jiao as a meritorious official and assistant. Gongcao sorts out Lujiang's internal affairs, and you send people to Guangling!"

Lu Dai hurriedly bowed his hands in response.

Chen Jiao was born in a poor family, and even had to change his original surname in order to study, followed his mother's surname, and relied on the resources of his mother's family to practice. Being so dependent on others, whether it was the members of the mother's family or himself, felt uncomfortable. Cheng gave him a chance to stand on his own, Chen Jiao probably wouldn't refuse.

"If Zhang Zhao and Chen Jiao are recruited, I don't have to worry about Lujiang's internal affairs anymore! Military officials like Yu Zhang Fei, after Liu Guan and Zhang leave, Lu Dai and Jiang Qin can also grow up, and the foundation will be stable by then. You can find opportunities to develop in all directions!"

A thought flashed in Gao Cheng's mind.Then he coughed, attracted everyone's attention, and said, "Baojian, please tell me the information that Mi Zizhong passed on!"

Xu Xuan bowed his hands to accept the order, then straightened up, and said to everyone: "Everyone, there is a saying in the art of war that you know yourself, you know the enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles. We are about to go to Lujiang, so naturally we need to know the information about Lujiang County!"

"Lujiang County governs Shu County. There are [-] counties in the territory. It borders Huai River in the north, Pengze in the south, Jiangxia County in Jingzhou in the west, and Jiujiang County in the east..."

The information prepared by Mi Zhu was very complete, finding out the location and population distribution of Lujiang County.Let everyone have a general impression of Lujiang County.

"The mountains in the Lujiang River are criss-crossed, and there are a large number of mountain barbarians. Every autumn, they will go down the mountain to rob food and grass, and plunder women! In the east, there are several counties near Chaohu Lake, and there are often thieves Zheng Bao who are rampant! Near the Huaihe River and the Dajiang River The fertile land is occupied by rich families from all over the place!"

"Mountain barbarians, water thieves, wealthy families! These are the problems that must be solved after entering the Lujiang River!"

After Xu Xuan finished speaking, he cupped his hands and sat down.Everyone pondered, thinking about the information he just said.Xi Zhicai frowned slightly, and after a while, it relaxed, and he was still interested in observing everyone's expressions.
