Shu Han Confucian General of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 135
"Why did the general say that?" It wasn't Zhuge Jin or Zhuge Liang who said this, but Ma Liang who was on the side.He knew the details of Brother Zhuge very well.

"Ji Chang, I didn't say this, but Kong Ming himself admitted it." Zhao Feng continued to talk nonsense with them, and now even Zhuge Liang didn't know what to do, and everyone looked at some magic sticks curiously. Zhao Feng.Only Guan Yu has known him for a long time and knows that he is going to fool people.But he didn't say anything, and was ready to watch a good show.

"Kong Ming, I heard that you used to compare yourself to Guan Zhongle?" Zhao Feng asked directly without being too condescending.

"Exactly." Zhuge Liang was also not humble, and nodded in admission.

"Do you know why Guan Zhongleyi is waiting for someone?" Zhao Feng continued to fool around.

"Guan Zhong is the Prime Minister of the Qi State, assisting Duke Huan of Qi to dominate the princes; Le Yi is the Yaqing of the State of Yan, and even went to the 72 cities of the State of Qi." Ma Liang said.

"Exactly, but Kong Ming knows that the Qi State in the past is safe today?" Zhao Feng gradually revealed his true intentions.

"In Qingzhou." Zhuge Liang was no fool, he basically understood what Zhao Feng meant when he got to this point.

"Exactly, Qi State in the past was just the place where Qi County and Lu State are today. Guan Zhong was the Prime Minister of Qi State, but today he is only a county magistrate. Kong Ming said that brother Daoling has a state talent, but he himself is not a county magistrate. It can be seen that Brother Ling's talent is far superior to Kong Ming's!" Zhao Feng said with a playful smile, although these words were a bit of a shift in concept, but it can't be said to be completely unreasonable.

Zhuge Liang was also stunned for a while, and finally smiled wryly: "The general is really knowledgeable, Liang is ashamed of himself." He said he was knowledgeable, but Zhao Feng could still hear the trace of helplessness in his words. "Where is it, it's just a search for chapters and excerpts, and strong words!" Zhao Feng said with a smile, and just accept it when he sees it.

Zhuge Jin also sighed and said: "Kong Ming, you have always been famous for your eloquence, but you were defeated by the general today. You know that there is a sky beyond the sky, and there are people beyond people." Zhao Feng quickly thanked him.Guan Yu waited for the verbal dispute to come to an end, and then said: "Bo Tao, the summer grain harvest is about to be harvested, and the recruitment of new soldiers is imminent. The Jingnan matter needs to be carried out as soon as possible."

"I know, Second General, I will draw up a plan tonight and go to Hanshou tomorrow." Zhao Feng also knew the urgency of the matter, so he quickly agreed.That night, Zhao Feng rested in the posthouse in Xiangyang City, burning the lamp all night to write plans, and didn't fall asleep until dawn.Unless it is a war, it is rare for him to stay up so late.

The next day, Zhao Feng showed his proposed strategy to Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang, who were also quite appreciative after reading it. "General Zhao's method of building the corps is really ingenious. Relocating the eliminated weak soldiers to Jingnan can not only defend the place, but also build Jingnan. At the same time, it also improves the combat effectiveness of Jingbei's army. That's right." Zhuge Liang was also amazed after seeing it.

"However, in this case, there are still [-] to [-] battle-ready soldiers in the north of Jing, and there are only county soldiers and weak soldiers that have been eliminated in the south of Jing. What if there is an enemy coming and attacking?" Guan Yu thought for a while and proposed his own concern.

"Jingnan is located in the hinterland of our forces. If there is an enemy coming, it will be Liu Zhang of Xichuan, the barbarians of Nanzhong, and Sun Quan of Jiaozhou. Liu Zhang is a weak man, and the people in Shuzhong are not very warlike, so this road is not a big problem; Jiaozhou Sun Quan, I was not afraid of him when he was in Jiangdong that day, let alone in Jiaozhou today; the barbarians in Nanzhong are brave but not scheming, if they dare to attack, they will never come back!" Zhao Feng said rather "arrogantly", but this This level of arrogance is quite to Guan Yu's appetite, the latter nodded and said nothing more.

"Just get through this year first, and the situation will be much better when the recruitment and reorganization of recruits are completed next year." Zhuge Liang half encouraged, half speculated.At present, Guan Yu first ordered that all the soldiers in Jingzhou be selected and eliminated. In the end, only about 12 of the 5 Jingzhou army barely met the requirements.The [-] Guan Yu kept guarding Jingbei while training, and the remaining [-] to [-] were all handed over to Zhao Feng, who went to Jingnan to form a construction corps.

For these 5 to 35 people, Zhao Feng carefully selected again, and cleared out all those under the age of [-] to form a team independently.There is no other reason. These people are still young and have potential for development. A good practice should also improve their combat effectiveness.After selection in this way, about [-] young fighters were obtained, and the rest were weak veterans.What Zhao Feng meant was to form these people into a construction corps, first go to Jingnan to open up wasteland, build ditches, and build the desolate Jingnan first.

At the same time, Mu Guanyu of Jingzhou also issued a decree, announcing that all Jingbei farmers who go to Jingnan to cultivate this year can reclaim five acres of wasteland for themselves, and the tax will be halved within three years, and it will be owned by them after five years of cultivation.Seed farming tools are provided by the government.In addition, in view of the shortage of farming cattle in Nanzhong, Guan Yu ordered that the old and weak horses in the Jingzhou cavalry be eliminated and handed over to Zhao Feng for farming in Jingnan, with a total of more than [-] horses.At the same time, Zhao Feng's two divisions, a total of [-] troops directly under Zhao Feng, were also transferred to Jingnan to assist him in the garrison.In terms of bureaucracy, the graduates of Xuzhou College have not yet graduated, but the Poyang Academy opened by Sun Ce has just completed. Yangzhou Mu Zhangzhao selected a hundred good graduates from them to Jingnan, Cangwu, Nanhai Assuming the post, I finally eased the urgent need for a while.In addition, Zhuge Liang recommended his classmate Shi Guangyuan to him.In addition, Zhao Feng asked Deng Zhi, Zhang Nan, Feng Xi, Huo Jun, Zhu Ran, Kou Feng and others to accompany them.Although these people have humble official positions now, even Huo Jun, who has the highest official position, because he was once attached to Cai Mao, Guan Yu can only make him a school lieutenant.But Zhao Feng is familiar with history, so he naturally knows that these people are not easy-going lamps, and now they are all county magistrates and captains, but they are a bit inferior.Originally, he wanted to take Hao Zhao away, but Guan Yu told him that Hao Zhao had been ordered to guard Wuguan, and he could not leave easily, so Zhao Feng had no choice but to give up.

"It's gold that always shines!" Zhao Feng sighed.With the support of the two prefects, Guan Yu and Zhang Zhao, Zhao Feng was finally able to show his talents in these six counties.His general's mansion is located in Hanshou County, and it is only a few days away from Chaisang by water.Liu Bei simply made a big compensation this time, and didn't let his family go to Shouchun as hostages, but stayed in Chaisang.With this large group of people, Zhao Feng crossed the river to Jingnan the next afternoon.

Since the time of Liu Biao, the four counties in Jingnan were almost separated from Jingbei.Although there is no explicit separation, except for the necessary administrative exchanges, the two sides are separated by the Yangtze River, and it feels a bit old and dead.Currently the prefects of the four counties are Zhao Fan, the prefect of Guiyang, Zhang Zhongjing, the prefect of Changsha, Jin Xuan, the prefect of Wuling, and Liu Du, the prefect of Lingling.Except for Zhang Zhongjing, the other three are no different from the prefects of the four counties when Liu Bei pacified Jingnan in history, and Liu Bei simply handed over the appointment rights of the prefects of Cangwu and Nanhai Second Counties to Zhao Feng.Hearing that General Zhao was going to the south of the Yangtze River, the prefects of the four counties also went to Hanshou to meet his immediate superior.

"Why do you need to be so polite, Feng just arrived in Jingnan, and you still need to rely on you a lot!" Zhao Feng also laughed and said some polite words when he saw these people.

"The general is young and promising, and is famous all over the world. It is really a blessing for the people of Jingnan to come to Jingnan now!" Liu Du is the oldest, and he is also a member of the Han family. He seems to be the most powerful of the four prefects.

"Feng is here for the first time, you can come up with all kinds of difficult problems one by one, and we can also work together to solve them." Zhao Feng didn't come in vain, and asked directly.

Zhang Zhongjing, the prefect of Changsha, first said: "At present, thousands of people from Jingbei pour into Jingnan every day. How to resettle them in various counties needs to be coordinated. In addition, there is still a large area of ​​barren land in Jingnan, and many wild animals haunt and hurt people. "

"I already know, Guangyuan, I am appointing you as the chief of the general's mansion, Shi Guangyuan, to be responsible for the migration of the people." Zhao Feng announced his first appointment after taking office, and Shi Guangyuan quickly agreed.With the ability of his Lumen Mountain disciple, this matter is naturally not difficult for him.

"In addition, the mountains in Guiyang County are becoming more and more chaotic, and now when the wheat is almost ripe, I'm afraid these barbarians will go down the mountain to grab grain again." Guiyang prefect Zhao Fan pondered.

"In addition, although our counties each have thousands of defenders, we have no generals." Liu Du hesitated for a while, and then told the most embarrassing thing about himself, and the four prefects all looked sad.Zhao Feng asked carefully, and found out that among the generals in Jingnan, Xing Daorong died in the battle with Jiangdong, Chen Ying and Yang Ling followed Cai Mao and Kuaiyue as ghosts under the knife, Huang Zhong jumped ship, Liu Panyuan transferred , right now the highest-ranking military general in Jingnan is actually Bao Long, the school lieutenant of Guiyang County.Apart from him, the prefect of Wuling, Jin Xuan, was barely a general.But with his martial arts, it is estimated that he can't even count as two knives.

It stands to reason that it is not in his own interest for Liu Du to raise this question.Once Zhao Feng sent generals to station in their county, it would inevitably affect their own interests.Since Liu Du couldn't help but speak out, the situation must have been extremely embarrassing.Thinking about history, Zhuge Liang asked Zhao Yun and others to pacify the four counties, and each time he brought only 3000 troops, which is enough to show that the defense of the four counties is really pitiful.Now these four counties may have at most only a few thousand county soldiers, and it is difficult to maintain law and order in this place.

"Also, the barbarians living in Wuxi heard that Jingnan was reclaiming wasteland, and their patriarch also offered to reclaim the wasteland with the Han people. I don't know what the general will do." Jin Xuan, the prefect of Wuling, mentioned another matter at this time.

"There are such things, wait, what is the name of this patriarch?" Zhao Feng asked Jin Xuan with a thought.

"His name is Sha Moke, and he is the number one warrior of the Wuxi barbarians. He makes a pair of barbed thorns and bones, which is extremely powerful." Jin Xuan replied.

"It really is him!" Zhao Feng suddenly realized that this should be the Wuxi Barbarian King Sha Moke who once killed Gan Ning and Cheng Pu in history.At this time, Jin Xuan further told Zhao Feng that although the Wuxi barbarians were aggressive and aggressive, compared with the Nanzhong barbarians, they were quite peaceful and rarely came out to harass the Han people.Only then did Zhao Feng suddenly realize, no wonder Liu Bei didn't spend much effort to pacify them in history.

"Prefect Jin, you tell Sha Moke. As long as he is willing to lead his people out to open up wasteland, he can enjoy the same treatment as the Han people." Zhao Feng said concisely.With the addition of Sha Moke, Jing Nan's strength has also increased greatly.Zhao Feng has considerable confidence in the assimilation ability of the Han nationality. It is estimated that it will be assimilated at least two or three years, and at most five or six years.

"Cangwu and Nanhai two prefects have not been elected yet, I don't know if you have any candidates?" Zhao Feng asked at this time.This is clearly to win them over. Liu Du and the others have been in the officialdom for a long time, so why don't they understand the meaning of these words, they recommend each other immediately.Zhao Feng pretended to listen to a few candidates, and finally muttered: "The population of Cangwu County is only [-] to [-], and most of them are mountain cities, so there are more martial arts than literary and political affairs. Zhong Miao, I will make you a general of Zhonglang, and it's up to you As the prefect of Cangwu, lead an army of five thousand to guard the mountain city."

"The general understands!" Huo Jun was slightly taken aback, but then he understood that Zhao Feng asked him to guard Cangwu to prevent Jiaozhou Sun Quan from invading.Cangwu's population is less than [-], and there are few civil affairs affairs. Zhao Feng asked Liu Du to recommend a relatively outstanding county magistrate to take up the post of civil affairs.

"As for Nanhai County!" Zhao Feng stroked his beard, deliberately watching the movement of these people.However, although the four of them tried their best to conceal it, the eagerness in their eyes was still evident.Unlike Cangwu, the South China Sea has a vast territory.After the previous migration, the population has reached nearly 20. This prefect is a fat vacancy.

"Let's let Gong Zhi, the Prime Minister of Wuling County, take over!" Zhao Feng finalized. This Gong Zhi was killed by Liu Bei because Jin Xuan refused to surrender to Liu Bei in history, and he later took over as the prefect of Wuling.Now that Jin Xuan is not so ignorant of current affairs, there is no need for him to stay here.

"That's great!" Seeing that everyone agreed with his arrangement, Zhao Feng basically finalized these things.Next, Zhao Feng appointed Zhu Ran, Zhang Nan, Feng Xi and others as school lieutenants or generals of Yamen respectively, and led troops to garrison each county to rectify military affairs.He and Shi Guangyuan stayed in Hanshou to deal with political affairs.

Just when Zhao Feng was thinking about starting to recruit soldiers, two letters were sent to him.
