Chapter 572
"Join the army, how do you deal with those rebels?"

After Hanchang calmed down, the two highest officials in Hanchang began to discuss how to deal with the soldiers.

Facing Liu Zhiran's question, Wang Ling didn't answer and asked instead: "Captain, what do you think?"

Liu Zhiran's murderous aura increased greatly: "How dare you rebel against the Lucheng army, and kill all of them, and finally the three tribes of the barbarians will serve as a warning to others."

Wang Ling shook his head: "The captain, do you know how Zhang Yide reacted to the Yi Sima clan in Hanoi?"

"Really?"

Liu Zhiran was just a school captain in Hanoi, how did he know about it? He only knew that Zhang Fei sent troops out of Hanoi to win a series of victories. He didn't know that Zhang Fei had wiped out Sima's clan, so he immediately felt very relieved. Sima Lang, a traitor, The lord treats him well, and he actually raised Hanoi to surrender Yuan, and the family should be exterminated.

Seeing Liu Zhiran's bright smile, Wang Ling understood that he didn't know how serious this was, and immediately said: "The Hanoi gentry are in panic, most of Hanoi almost returned to Yuan Shao's hands, fortunately the Lord ordered Uncle Zhi to go to Hanoi to appease him, and ordered Uncle Zhi The acting lord helped the spirit, which made the nobles in Hanoi settle down, and the nobles in Huai County surrendered. If Zhang Yide did not destroy the Sima clan, Huai County fell early, and Yide might have driven Cui Juye out of Hanoi instead of confronting Yuan Shao's reinforcements Yu Qinshui."

"So serious?"

Liu Zhiran was shocked.

Wang Ling nodded: "Although Hanchang is small, it is the first Yizhou city captured by our Lucheng Army. Therefore, we must treat Hanchang gentry generously, so that the Yizhou local gentry who are watching the wind can rest assured to take refuge in the lord."

Liu Zhiran said: "Then let them go like this?"

Wang Ling shook his head: "Capital crimes can be avoided, but if you want to live, you have to pay some price, otherwise the danger of Hanchang will still exist, just like before."

Liu Zhiran shook his head: "I don't understand politics, so I have to join the army to deal with it, and I just need to guard the city."

"Do not."

After Liu Zhiran finished speaking, it was as if to say goodbye, Wang Ling suddenly said: "A certain lone army is in Hanchang, can't it be defended with this little force?"

Liu Zhiran frowned: "If you can't keep it, what should you do?"

Wang Ling smiled slightly: "My lord often says that offense is the best defense, and only offense can better defend Hanchang."

Liu Zhiran was surprised: "Attack? We only have 1000 troops? It's not enough to defend the city."

Wang Ling said: "Isn't Zhang Zhonglang only having 1000 people? Currently, Leng Bao's nearly [-] troops have been defeated in Dangqu."

Liu Zhiran was startled when he heard the words: "Did the general win?"

Wang Ling nodded: "The news just came that the general broke the ice in Dangqu and defeated Jiangzhou's reinforcements. It is only a matter of time before Jiangzhou is taken down. Originally, the general wanted to send 1000 troops to help Hanchang, but someone has already written to refuse."

"His!"

Liu Zhiran gasped when he heard the words, the lord is indeed a man with the blue eyes of the lord, but he dreamed of winning a big victory with fewer enemies and more enemies, Liu Zhiran thought he couldn't do it.

Seeing Wang Ling's sharp gaze, Liu Zhiran said, "There are 2000 people from Zhang Ren beside the general."

Wang Ling said: "Now there are [-] young and strong Bayi in the city, and nearly [-] soldiers. Isn't it more powerful than the main general?"

"If the elites come out, who will guard Hanchang?"

"It can be handed over to the Ba people to guard. The Ba people live in the mountains. If there is a city, they will definitely defend it with all their might. Don't worry."

"just in case……"

Wang Ling said: "Lieutenant, do you still remember that the original intention of some people to cross Micang Mountain was to disturb the hinterland of Yizhou, causing chaos in Yizhou, and then welcome the Lord's army into Shu. Isn't Hanchang's danger today because of too few troops? ? If a [-] army enters Shu, who would dare to rebel? Bayi is vulnerable to a [-] land army."

"That's true."

Liu Zhiran was about to be moved by Wang Ling's sharp words, but Zhang Yun gave him the order to stick to Hanchang.

Wang Ling said again: "The Lord will take Jiangzhou, and you and I will take Langzhong and fill the country for a generation. Don't even think about passing the food and grass in Jiameng Pass. The shortage of food and grass in Jiameng Pass will definitely make people panic. As soon as Jiameng Pass is in short supply, the Lord will be able to eat it sooner." If you enter the pass one day, if you can break through the pass one day earlier, you can save many sons, and you will die in front of Jiameng pass in vain."

Liu Zhiran moved when he heard the words, Wang Ling continued: "Don't talk about whether you and I have made extraordinary achievements? Even if we all die in battle, we will die well. After you and I die, we can also seal our wives and sons. Could it be that the captain just wants to be a successful general? ?”

From an ordinary person, Liu Zhiran became a lieutenant of the Yulin Army, one of the elites of the Lucheng Army, because of his status as a member of Liu Bei's tribe. Otherwise, there would be many smarter and braver people than him, and he would not be a military marquis or a village chief.

Having high seniority has always been a scar in Liu Zhiran's heart. Now that Wang Ling has untied it, he not only thinks of Liu Gousheng's bravado in front of him, but also feels a pain in his heart.

Wang Ling saw that the aggressive general method took effect, and said: "Yizhou's mountains and rivers are dangerous. Even if we fail, you and I can go up the mountain to escape. If we enter the mountain with the strength of the Imperial Forest Army, who can strangle you and me? If we can stand firm in Langzhong and Chongguo The heel is a miracle, and the name of the school captain will spread throughout Yizhou, and there will be no more words to seal his wife and son."

With the rise of Liu Bei, Lucheng Liu became a prominent family in Youzhou. Not only did Liu Zhong and Liu He marry the daughters of a wealthy family, he and Liu Gousheng also married the daughters of a wealthy family, and now they have children. If they really died in battle, After Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor, his son would also have a prince.

"Joining the army has the right to command, and I am willing to listen to the army's dispatch."

Liu Zhiran was finally persuaded by Wang Ling.

In today's military system, the chief general has the power to command the army, and Chang Shi, Join the Army, and Sima all have the command power. Chang Shi is like a political commissar, Join the army is the chief of staff, and Sima is Liu Bei's deputy to blackmail the chief general.

Originally Wang Ling wanted to transfer troops, so he didn't need to explain a lot to Liu Zhiran, but the Imperial Forest Army was the elite of the Lucheng Army, and Liu Zhiran was a younger brother of Liu Bei's clan, so Wang Ling had to convince Liu Zhiran if he wanted the command.

"Really only take these 1000 people to fill the country?"

Liu Zhiran said.

Wang Ling shook his head: "Of course not. For the sake of bluffing, the captain should have 2000 men under his command, and some soldiers from Hanchang will be transferred. A total of 5000 men will be taken from Langzhong."

"What? No, private military expansion is a serious crime."

Liu Zhiran nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.

Liu Bei did a lot of work to prevent the bad habits of the generals. The most important one is that each army should not expand its army privately, and everyone must accept recruits from the new barracks.

All the supplementary soldiers had to come from Yu Jin's new barracks, but since the army's massive expansion, the number of new barracks had increased, and Yu Jin was able to withdraw from the new barracks to form the imperial guards.

Wang Ling said: "You don't have to worry, the captain. The general has issued an order this time. The generals in Shu can recruit troops according to the situation. Now our situation meets the requirements for recruiting troops."

Liu Zhiran was still a little unhappy, once he opened his mouth to recruit soldiers privately, the rest of the generals would start recruiting soldiers privately, which would be a disaster for Liu Bei.

Seeing this, Wang Ling compromised: "Then let them form their own army, but you have to send some veterans to help them build an army."

"All right!"

There is a precedent for the Lucheng Army to recruit and accept the rebels and make the rebels fight together.
