Seeing Wang Ke ask this question.
Yuan Zhen turned pale and immediately fell to his knees.
He lowered his head and explained: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, Jizhou's troops and horses were originally very strong, but the Bohai Kingdom has been harassing them frequently in the past few days. The King of Peking has transferred all the elites away. Even our food and grass supplies have been reduced. As time went by, there was no more troops to supplement, and it became what it is now..."
"Hehehe... You won't report this situation to the court?"
Wang Ke looked at Yuan Zhen, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
He finally understood why Luo Yi put this person in Jizhou.
It is true that Yuan Zhen was quite attentive and able to cater to him, but he was too timid and did not dare to seek refuge with Luo Yi, nor did he dare to report it directly to the court. He just turned a blind eye and was a monk ringing the clock.
"That's all, let them disperse."
Wang Ke sighed and said to Yuan Zhen.
Say it.
He left the school grounds with his generals.
Return to the governor's mansion.
Wang Ke once again picked up the official document sent by Yuan Zhen yesterday.
He looked at the various information on it and frowned tightly.
original.
He also felt that Jizhou, as an important town, must have some military foundation.
But now I see you.
All the elite soldiers, food, and supplies in Youzhou's territory were probably all divided up by the soldiers and horses under the command of the King of Peiping.
"No wonder Yang Jian is afraid of Luo Yi. This man indeed has the confidence to support his troops and respect himself!"
Wang Ke thought secretly in his heart.
At this moment.
I saw Ling Wei walking in quickly.
"My lord, the commander-in-chief of Miyunguan, Gubeixia and Waguankou heard about my lord's arrival and sent letters one after another."
As he spoke, he placed three letters in front of Wang Ke.
Wang Ke picked up the letter and looked at the signature first.
really.
The three letters were sent personally by the guards at the three passes.
Wang Heng, the guard general of Miyun Pass, is said to be a branch of the Wang family in Bingzhou, but his family moved decades ago. He is now an officer and is skilled in martial arts with a mace.
Lu Yu, the guard general of Gubeixia, was a native of Youzhou. Because of his name, he learned Fang Tian's method of painting a halberd. He was proficient in riding and archery, and was skilled in bow and horse. He was also a brave general.
Qin Feng, the guard at Waguan Pass, is rumored to be a descendant of the Qin family of Mrs. Luo Yi. However, he and Luo Yi did not travel much. He concentrated on guarding the border. He used an iron rod and a pair of cooked copper maces to keep hundreds of people away. body.
I casually looked through the letters of the three of them.
The letter contained nothing more than congratulations on Wang Ke's arrival, and at the same time invited Wang Ke to inspect his respective residences and other polite words.
Wang Ke put down the letter, looked at Ling Wei, and asked, "What do you think of the incident in Jizhou?"
Ling Wei touched his short beard under his chin, thought for a moment, and replied: "The affairs in Jizhou are mainly about the issue of soldiers, money and food. As long as these two are solved, Jizhou will be greatly improved."
"If we want to solve these two problems, what other methods can we use?"
Wang Ke frowned and then asked.
Ling Wei pondered for a moment, and then said: "I will use an inappropriate analogy..."
"But it doesn't matter!"
Wang Ke said with a smile.
"Back then, when Brother Gan Meng and I were in Nujiao Village, we had no soldiers, horses, money or food, so we thought of going around to enslave the refugees and rob the wealthy households, so as to gain a foothold in the village... My lord is also normal at this time, and now he has just arrived. , unlike when I had a foundation in Xiangzhou, I can also follow this method."
Ling Wei thought for a moment and said immediately.
When Wang Ke heard this, he couldn't help but pace back and forth in the hall, and said slowly: "You mean, you want me to recruit refugees and collect food and grass from rich households?"
Ling Wei said: "Jizhou is located in a border fortress, which is different from the Central Plains. We don't know enough about the reality here. It's better to inquire secretly first and then discuss it."
"Oh, by the way, the guards of these three passes invited us to inspect. These three people must have some knowledge of the truth and reality in Jizhou. We can first go to find out what they say, and then combine it with Yuan Zhen's words to prescribe the right medicine. .”
Wang Ke's eyes flickered slightly and he said to Ling Wei.
Ling Wei thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, this plan is feasible!"
"Okay then, go and call everyone here."
Wang Ke nodded slightly and said to Ling Wei.
"yes!"
Ling Wei bowed his hands and turned to leave.
Not long after.
Gan Meng, Wang Tianyou, Wang Junke, and Jiang Song arrived one after another.
Wang Ke said to them: "Today's Jizhou is full of wastes waiting to be revitalized. I am going to rectify the old soldiers first and survey the farmland... All generals, listen to your orders!"
"The general is here!"
The generals were shocked and all held their hands.
"Gan Meng, listen to the order! I order you to take over from Yuan Zhen and be responsible for training Jizhou veterans. I reiterate the military order. Violators must be severely punished!"
Wang Ke looked at Gan Meng and said.
"Gan Meng takes the order!"
Gan Meng stepped forward, clasping his fists with both hands, and said loudly.
"Your Majesty, please obey your order! I order you to lead your soldiers to various parts of Jizhou to count the farmland. If there are any mistakes or omissions, we must find those who violate the law and disobey orders and punish them severely!"
Wait for Ganmeng to retreat.
Wang Ke looked at Wang Junke again and said.
"The last general takes command!"
Wang Junke was originally a farm owner.
He was quite familiar with farmland reclamation, so the task of reorganizing the farmland was left to him.
"Ling Wei, listen to your order! I order you to set up a recruitment hall in Jizhou City to attract and accept strangers from all over the world. If there are any who are beneficial to us, make special promotions without asking me."
I have given instructions to Wang Junke.
After pondering for a moment.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Wang Ke's eyes fell on the rather steady Ling Wei and he said.
This order was just decided by him.
At this time, it was the reign of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty.
Heroes from all over the world are either not yet born or are still traveling in the world.
Therefore.
Only then did Wang Ke think of using the recruitment hall as a channel to recruit heroes from all walks of life, also in order to expand his team in the future.
As a player who liked storytelling in his previous life, he also liked the Secret Shame of the Three Kingdoms series of games.
After the internal affairs phase has passed.
Wang Ke's focus will now be on expansion.
"Wang Tianyou and Jiang Song obey orders!"
then.
Wang Ke looked at Wang Tianyou and Jiang Song.
When the two of them heard their lord's call, they straightened up, bowed their hands, and promised.
"You go back and pack your bags, and come with me tomorrow to inspect Miyun Pass, Gubei Gorge, and Wa Pass."
Wang Ke said calmly.
"yes!"
Wang Tianyou and Jiang Song both raised their hands and said.
Many tasks assigned.
Wang Ke then asked everyone to go down and rest.
As for special people like Luo Shixin.
Wang Ke asked him to follow Wang Junke and walk around to check the terrain.
…
The next day.
The sky is clear.
The wind that had been blowing for several days gradually stopped.
Wang Ke took Wang Tianyou and Jiang Song and thirty elite cavalry all the way north to Miyunguan, one of the three towns in Saibei.
Miyun Pass.
The terrain is difficult.
According to legend, it was the place ruled by the water god Gonggong in ancient times.
The main body of this place is Miyun Mountain, and the pass city is built on the mountain.
Behind the mountains.
It is the majestic Great Wall that winds thousands of miles and resists the barbarians for thousands of years.
In other words.
This is the first line of defense against aliens within the Great Wall.
