He defeated Yuan Shao and occupied all the land in Hebei. Shangdang County in Bingzhou and Hanoi became General Wang's territory. Zhang Yang followed Yuan Shao across the river. The Black Mountain Army in the Taihang Mountains and a large number of mountain residents were all captured and settled in various places.
Therefore, the overall strategic deployment has also shifted from internal to external. In addition to internal stability maintenance needs, some troops are stationed internally, and a large number of troops are concentrated on the borders. To the east of Taihang Mountain is the Yellow River, while Shanxi crosses the Yellow River and pushes outward.
Previously, Guo Jia was stationed in Taiyuan because of war needs. Because of the message transmission, he was required to mobilize troops before the battle and use his personal ability to ensure the correctness of decisions and the success of operations. This is the necessity of talents.
Now that the war is over and the internal worries have subsided, Guo Jia is no longer in Taiyuan, but has moved to Shangjun (Yulin). In this way, we can stabilize Hexi, spy on Chang'an, and attack Liangzhou for easy dispatch. It is a relatively good place.
The army is also stationed in the outer areas of Shuofang and Shangjun, deterring the west, north and south.
The official position Guo Jia holds so far is still that of military governor, and even the position of Yanmen prefect has been withdrawn. However, Guo Jia had considerable power, leading the military and civil affairs of Bingzhou, which was equivalent to the Bingzhou Mu in the Han Dynasty.
This was an expedient measure during wartime. General Wang had not really begun to reform the administrative units. The main reason was of course that there were not enough talents to take charge. His real reform move was to fix the administrative units at the township and pavilion levels. But for the higher levels of states and counties, he has not yet begun to implement reforms.
Especially the state system, this must be changed. Because the territory of the state is so large, the thirteen states of Han Dynasty, that is, there are only 13 top local leaders. Even if they are not given military power, their power to act in civil affairs is already boundless. This is definitely wrong.
The existence of weak states will turn the thirteen states into thirty states, which is a must-do. It is not good to use a larger number of officials to spread the power thinly and prevent one person's power from being over-concentrated, thereby breeding undue ambitions, and to have matching power.
Of course, Wang Yan is definitely not afraid. Not to mention the thirteen states, there are only three states under his command. There are only three people in charge of local military affairs. What kind of trouble can these three people make?
What he considers is the overall security, the harmony between the central and local governments, and the prevention of any unthinking subordinates from going crazy and trying to usurp the throne, causing disaster to innocent people.
Local officials cannot manage the people and the army. If there are warlords, there will be chaos, and if there is chaos, the country will be destroyed. This is the experience that all dynasties have summarized with blood, but this kind of thing will still happen later, because the leader is weak and the ministers are strong. Or maybe it's because the Lord is stronger and overconfident.
Therefore, Guo Jia's arrangement for Wang Yan was a transitional move. But to a certain extent, this is also a bad start. Because words are spoken by people, if the world is still functioning after Wang Yan leaves and his descendants become weaker, maybe someone will say that in the past Taizu took over the world and made Guo Jia the military governor with the power to take charge of state affairs. Now we can set up a military governor and governor several areas to solve the current crisis...
Guo Jia looked at the two people sitting in front of him, Lu Bu and Zhang Liao, and said: "The general has ordered that the two generals lead their troops to march westward to clear out the barbarians in Beidi and Anding. The policy is the same as that of Yuan Jian, only killing the tribe leaders. People must be brave and strong if they don't surrender. Don't kill indiscriminately, and don't advance rashly, so as to fall into the enemy's treacherous plan and lose troops and generals."
Lu Bu raised his eyebrows with a worried look on his face. What he didn't like to hear the most was 'schemes'. Without him, he had too many schemes in his life.
At Wang Yan's place, he was trusted and reused. He had a rare sense of stability and good food and drink. Although he didn't have that much treasure, the family did not stick to their diet and the food they ate was actually better than when he was in Luoyang or Chang'an. Much better.
So when nothing happens, he can't help but look back on the past half of his life. I can't stop thinking about anything, because many things I ignored at the time came to mind after thinking about it. So when he looked back, he was just a piece of shit everywhere, and people were treating him like a fool. So much so that when he hears any plan, he becomes very disgusted and hates it.
Now Guo Jia said this, didn't he just say it to him? Of course he was unhappy.
However, he also knew that he was not very good in the past, so he gave his hand and said, "Sir, there is no need to say more. I am now a captain under the general, and I should obey orders. Kuang has been a soldier since he was a child, and his merit has been promoted to this point. He understands the laws in the army. The general's purpose in using the army is clear, why bother talking to me."
Guo Jia didn't say anything. He really wanted to warn Lu Bu alone. With a polite smile, he nodded and said: "Jia Zi knows that the general today is different from the past, but his loyal words are hard to hear, so he should say what he needs to say, and the general can be sure of it."
After turning over the page, he continued: "This time we send troops to Liangzhou, there is no rush. The previous attack on Yuan was very costly, and the new acquisition of Jizhou also cost a lot of money to pacify the people of Jizhou. Although I am very mature this year, I have accumulated a lot of money. If it is not enough, it is not suitable to fight. Moreover, Liangzhou is far away, and it would be too wasteful to raise a large army to conquer, and the gains outweigh the losses. Therefore, the two generals need to be like Yuan Jian, guerrilla against Han Sui, and consume their vitality.
Being able to destroy Han Sui is naturally the best. However, even if Han Sui cannot be destroyed, driving him far away from the Western Regions or making him surrender to the Central Plains is still a success. If there is no accident, the capture of Xiliang will only rely on the strength of the two generals. If there are changes along the way, two more guards and horses may be sent for reinforcements. When the two generals go to the north and stabilize the two counties, I will lead the civilian officials to take charge.
Youzhou is thousands of miles away. Although the food and grass are already on the way, it will take three months to arrive. Therefore, after arriving in Liangzhou, food must be raised locally. The loss of soldiers cannot be replaced for a while. The general has orders to recruit brave barbarians on the spot. If necessary, the barbarians can be swept into an army of tens of thousands, as long as military discipline is observed. If the two generals have no objections, they should send troops quickly. "
Lu Bu and Zhang Liao looked at each other, stood up and saluted Guo Jia, Guo Jia also stood up and returned the salute, and then the two turned and left Guo Jia's mansion.
"Wenyuan, Beidi or Anding, which one do you choose?"
"The general chooses first." Zhang Liao responded with a smile.
In the past, he had a dependent relationship with Lu Bu. However, although he and Lu Bu are now on the same level and both have the title of captain, he also maintains considerable respect for Lu Bu and is neither arrogant nor impetuous.
In fact, Zhang Liao was quite good. He followed Lu Bu until he was defeated and captured, and then he was surrendered by Cao Cao. This was considered to be the end of his benevolence. Moreover, Zhang Liao's real historical status is also certain. He is a serious figure who entered the martial arts temple.
Lu Bu has looked past everything now. He didn't have much contact with his former subordinates. An An was doing well. Diao Chan also gave birth to a son for him, and his mentality suddenly changed. There is nothing against Zhang Liao being equal to him now. He has always known that Zhang Liao is capable.
Zhang Liao said that he didn't feel anything at all. He would hit wherever he hit, it didn't matter. He smiled and said: "In that case, I will go to peace and you will go to the north. The two of us will refer to each other and report in time. We must not be surrounded by barbarians and put ourselves in danger."
"That's exactly what it should be." Zhang Liao laughed.
It was he who suggested coming to Wang Yan. Lu Bu was very comfortable now, and he was naturally more comfortable.
Because there is absolutely no such good boss as Wang Yan in the world. That is truly no scruples and no doubts about employing people.
The simplest point is that the family members of senior officers in the army were transferred with the army. There is no such thing as leaving their families outside to serve as hostages in Wang Yan's place. Moreover, the family members are also treated very well. Some families have to farm, while others have to do some management work such as production.
For example, his wife and Lu Bu's wives and concubines all work in the factory here, managing the work of female workers. Some of the other officers are working as pavilion chiefs, some are serving as civil servants in the county, and some are teaching. The treatment given is also very good, enough for the family to live quite well.
Little did they know that there were not enough people under General Wang. The families of these officers were in good condition and they were all literate. Furthermore, he originally intended to train women, and the students in the school were of both genders. These women are also a force and must not be idle.
But no matter what, General Wang is indeed a good boss. There is no doubt about it, whether it is now or in modern times. After all, in real life, 'China Longteng Group' has become a paradise that everyone yearns for and a famous place for retirement. Because he, Boss Wang, has a true communist style and followed the lifelong tenure system before the reform and opening up. Of course, the conditions are getting higher and higher now. If he, the boss, applies for a job, it will be difficult for him to get in. The required level is getting higher and higher...
Immediately, the two generals, who had found peace, comfort and happiness under General Wang, mounted their horses and led their men to the place where the troops were stationed for two days. They ordered the troops to assemble and break camp to march westward tomorrow.
The old rule is that the troops scattered in various places will slaughter all the chickens, ducks, geese, and pigs raised by the troops, and the whole army will eat the meat. At the same time, the soldiers and weapons were maintained, their luggage was packed, and they were prepared for the march.
On the second day, after breakfast, the two teams broke out of camp and set off. The two guards were not stationed close to each other, and their attack targets were different, so they naturally did not move together. However, the more than 6,000 people in one guard were already a mighty force.
Considering the terrain, population and other reasons here, and the fact that after defeating Yuan Shao, a considerable number of war horses were captured, the troops led by Lu Bu and Zhang Liao each had 3,000 cavalry, each with one man and two horses.
The most important thing is that among the three thousand cavalry, there are 500 cavalrymen who have been trained for three years by Liao Hua. They serve as officers and lead the rest of the soldiers. Then there is Lu Bu, the top combat player in the Three Kingdoms. There are also top-notch military generals and goalkeepers like Zhang Liao. Under their leadership, although their combat effectiveness is not as good as that of Liao Hua's all-elite cavalry unit, they are still quite tough...
The Xiongnu, Xianbei, Qianghu, etc. in Bingzhou had all been driven away long ago. The Baibo army had also been eliminated before and fled in all directions. Unlike the Baibo Army, some of the Xiongnu and other barbarians ran to the grassland, and some ran to Liangzhou. There are many foreign races in Liangzhou, and there are more exchanges between Hu and Han here. In addition, due to the strong Han Dynasty, there are many naturalized foreign races.
Over time, intermarriage became natural. Taking into account various circumstances, the situation in Liangzhou is relatively complicated, and compared to the original Liangzhou, the current Liangzhou actually has a larger population.
It is because of the Huns who were defeated by Wang Yan and the Xianbei and other tribes who were driven away from the grasslands that Liangzhou, which originally had a population of only 400,000, may now have a population of over one million, all of which are foreign races. On the contrary, this has made Liangzhou today somewhat glorious.
This is also one of the reasons why Han Sui returned to Liangzhou with all his heart. Liangzhou still has some strength now. Moreover, he has a good relationship with these people and can take advantage of them.
All of this was achieved indirectly by General Wang...
But Han Sui didn't feel good, because he originally thought that the traitor Wang Da was not interested in paying attention to a small role like him, and he should go to fight Yuan Shao, fight Cao Cao and the others, conquer Henan, and then conquer Jiangnan, and then simply ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor. Anyway, he would definitely do it.
But who would have thought that the traitor Wang had his brain twitched, so he went on an expedition to kill his poor Han, and the one he sent was Lu Bu, an invincible general in the world. Is this something that a human can do?
Yes, he had gotten the message. Lu Bu and Zhang Liao led the army and invaded Beidi and Anding counties. Although the Xiongnu, Xianbei and other tribes there organized resistance and pulled out tens of thousands of troops, they collapsed in one battle. Not only that, with Wang Yan's order, Lu Bu and Zhang Liao tacitly killed the officers who defeated the army, and then swept the defeated army into an army with more than 10,000 troops.
The two of them used their own troops and horses to roll up the barbarian soldiers. The soldiers were all promoted to captains immediately. Under the leadership of the army Sima, they ruled with high pressure while preaching General Wang's policies. The effect was quite good.
Nothing else, the main thing is that this set is too advanced. And the most important thing is that there is no pie in the sky. Although it is inevitable that there is a certain long-term future, they actually know that if they take refuge in Wang Yan, their lives will be much better, but they have never felt it.
In fact, if given the opportunity, they would not object to voting for Wang Yan. But whether they are Han people or foreigners, whether they are ancient people or modern people, they all have one thing in common, that is, compromise, cowardice and fear, and they like to hide behind warriors and make sarcastic remarks.
Even now, when the world is in chaos, there are still only a few people who dare to kill the boss. An unarmed man with considerable authority can intimidate hundreds of ruled people armed with sharp knives. What's more, the elite forces all follow the rulers, and they dare not rebel.
Now the soldiers living under Wang Yan's rule came out to speak out, and with the knife on their head, they couldn't help but not believe it.
Therefore, Lu Bu and Zhang Liao were quickly clearing out the opposition forces in the two counties of Beidi and Anping, killing high-level figures, and began to rule these two places. With that speed, that power, and the accumulated prestige, Han Sui Both angry and frightened...
Cheng Gongying, who once went to Youzhou as an envoy and met Wang Da's rebels, saw the status of the big boss and good friend, and said loudly: "My lord, there is no need to worry. Liangzhou is thousands of miles away from Youzhou. Liangzhou is poor. Wang Yan will not do it." Raise a large army for an expedition. Now that Lu Bu and Zhang Liao have brought fifteen thousand troops and horses, it is enough. If they add more troops, the gains will outweigh the losses.
Therefore, we only need to deal with Lu Bu and Zhang Liao. No matter how strong Lu Bu is, he is still water without roots. I am advantageous, harmonious, and do not seek quick victory, but seek invincibility. This can also paralyze Wang Yan, making him not pay attention to Liangzhou, and he can just raise his army without getting angry. So, even if we fight for ten years, what can we do to me? "
