Time flies, and it’s the end of April in a blink of an eye.
The entire Guanzhong is busy for the martial arts competition.
Although Liu Zhang left everything to Shangshu Ling Jia Xu, Jia Xu still had to deal with the huge government affairs of the Qin State.
So his role is more like overseeing the overall situation.
The actual controller naturally fell on Jingzhao Yinwei.
This time is the best time to gather military generals from all forces in the world and show Qin's national power.
So it must be perfect!
The slightest omission will damage the majesty of Qin.
Wei Qiang was under great pressure and almost did everything by himself.
Even so, I can't completely rest assured.
Looking at Wei Qi who was so anxious and sleepless, Liu Zhang almost had the illusion of traveling through time again.
Inadvertently, I thought the person in front of me was Zhuge Liang, who knew everything in detail.
Compared to the busy city of Chang'an, King Liu Zhang of Qin was a little leisurely!
Especially after the selection of participating military officers was devolved to various states and counties.
The martial arts tournament organized by the King of Qin aroused a response like a mountain roar and a tsunami in the Qin State.
There are so many people who want to participate!
The military and civilians of Qin were exactly the same as those of other forces.
It also appeared that many brave people, or those who thought they were brave, regarded the Chang'an City Martial Arts Tournament as a great opportunity to soar to the sky and become famous all over the world.
It is true that Chang'an City can accommodate a population of one million, but if it really accommodates hundreds of thousands of contestants, it will inevitably cause huge chaos.
Therefore, not long after the announcement was made, Liu Zhang decentralized the auditions for the martial arts competition to the states.
And so on.
The states are devolved to counties, and the counties are devolved to counties.
Similarly, if soldiers and generals from Qin's four major military regions want to participate, they must also pass the internal selection of each military region.
The places are extremely rare.
The Eastern Army, the Central Army, the Northern Army, and the Imperial Guard all have ten quotas.
In addition, Yizhou, Yongzhou, and Liangzhou each have ten quotas.
The number of people from Qin who could come to Chang'an to participate in the martial arts competition totaled seventy.
This number is also the result of Liu Zhang's careful consideration.
There are too many people in Qin, which makes the king of Qin unfair.
If there are too few, it will appear that Qin is lacking in talents.
Now that we are entering May, selections in various places have basically been completed.
Contestants like Yizhou and Dongjun have already begun to march towards Chang'an.
In Weiyang Palace, Liu Zhang was looking at the lists of personnel reported by the four military regions.
There is almost no difference from what Liu Zhang imagined.
Basically everything that should appear is on the list.
For example, the Qin generals in various military regions!
The rest, without exception, are extremely unfamiliar.
What is reported by states and counties is even more interesting.
Hardly any impression.
The original plan to dig out some generals in the opposition was completely unsuccessful.
None of the historical generals Liu Zhang was familiar with were listed.
Still quite shocked.
This year is the ninth year of Jian'an, AD 204.
Liu Zhang could only think that many people were young.
"Wen He, why haven't the Liangzhou Governor's Office reported the personnel yet?"
The lists of the four major military regions, Yizhou and Yongzhou are here.
Only Lu Su, the governor of Liangzhou, did not report it.
Normally, the distance between Yizhou Chengdu and Chang'an is much higher than Liangzhou Jincheng.
Furthermore, the journey from Jincheng to Chang'an is almost a flat stretch of land.
When the order is given, it is a day and a night.
"Reporting to the King of Qin, I have sent people to urge you several times, but no news has been sent back yet."
Jia Xu also felt a little strange about this.
But it's just weird and I don't have any other ideas.
Fifty thousand county soldiers are stationed in Liangzhou.
These county soldiers are independent of the governor's office and are temporarily under the jurisdiction of each county.
The main responsibility is to maintain the stability of the Qiang and Hu tribes and protect the threats of the Han people.
At the same time, for the sake of the authority of the governor's office, Liu Zhang also gave Lu Su 10,000 troops to dispatch.
In the Qin State, it was difficult for the governor or county guards to rebel.
Even if he had the intention to rebel, there was nothing he could do.
Neither the governor nor the county governor had any way to arrange food and grass.
The food and fodder expenses for the soldiers in each state and county are all allocated by the chamber of commerce.
As long as Liu Zhang gives the order, food will be cut off immediately.
Coupled with Qin's system, there was no food in the people's homes, so there was no way to snatch food from the people.
"Do you want me to send someone to urge you again?"
Liu Zhang thought for a while and shook his head slightly.
"Forget it, just wait."
Liangzhou is different from other places in that there are many matters that need to be dealt with.
Even if it takes some time, Liu Zhang can understand.
Furthermore, according to Liu Zhang's memory, there should be no capable people in Liangzhou at present.
Even if no one participates in the end, it doesn't matter.
If there are no top generals, they will be used as cannon fodder.
"Wen He, I heard that the big-eared thief established himself as king?"
After reading several lists, Liu Zhang raised his eyebrows and brought the topic to Liu Bei.
Liu Zhang had long known about Liu Bei's becoming king.
It's just that the martial arts competition is going to be held recently, so it's very busy.
At this time, we really can't do anything to Liu Bei.
Cao Cao barely defended himself, Sun Quan and Liu Bei united, and Qin was also working hard to prepare for war.
Besides, it was just proclaiming the king. Didn’t Liu Bei in history also declare himself the King of Hanzhong?
It doesn't matter if you bully Liu Bei for the rest of his life and let him enjoy the last period of his life.
For Liu Zhang, this was just idle talk at best.
"hehe, not bad!"
Jia Xu's eyes were full of ridicule, and it was obvious that he didn't take Liu Bei seriously.
"The word 'self-reliance' was used brilliantly by King Qin!"
"After Sun Quan was granted the title of Duke of Wu, Liu Bei couldn't sit still at all! I heard that Liu Bei ordered Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to go on a killing spree in order to claim the throne!"
"Haha, the big-eared thief is on the road to destruction and will never return..."
Liu Zhang showed a hint of surprise, he really didn't expect to commit the killing.
"The big-eared thief is out!"
Historically, Liu Bei was forced by his ministers to proclaim himself King of Hanzhong, and he couldn't do it without proclaiming himself king!
Now it's a good idea to use a butcher's knife to eliminate the opposition and forcefully claim the throne!
Jia Xu's eyes lit up, and he felt a burst of admiration at Liu Zhang's word "outcome".
"What King Qin said is absolutely true. This should be the final madness!"
It is said that if Heaven wants it to perish, it must first make it crazy!
This statement now perfectly reflects Liu Bei's body.
"Forget it, let's let the big-eared thief enjoy his mouth..."
"He doesn't have a few more years to play around anyway!"
According to the plan, as late as four years or as early as three years, the coalition forces of Qin and Wei will begin their eastward and southward march!
Liu Zhang didn't care what Cao Cao wanted.
Next time, the Eastern Army will definitely aim to occupy Jingzhou and eliminate Liu Bei as its ultimate goal!
"Is there any news about the people sent by Wen He, Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and Liu Bei?"
"Report to the King of Qin, news has been sent. The three forces each sent a team of ten people, and all of them entered the Qin State."
"It is reported that the military commanders from all sides have great ambitions..."
As soon as Jia Xu finished speaking, the guards quickly ran into the hall.
"Reporting to the King of Qin, Mr. Lu, the governor of Liangzhou, is asking for an audience."
