"You two will expand the Wuwei camp to 5,000 men, with Dian Wei as the main general and Xu Huang as the assistant!"
"promise!"
"Gongming, whether it's training or commanding troops, you should learn more from the four of them. When you think you can lead an army on your own, come and tell me!"
Liu Zhang had been thinking about Xu Huang's arrangements for a long time. At first in Luoyang, he planned to let him enter Mang Mountain to train private soldiers. Now in Hanzhong, there is no need to be sneaky. But after all, Xu Huang does not have any experience, and there is still a long way to go.
He is not a person of Zhou Yafu's style in history. It is too early for him to lead an army on his own now.
Xu Huang's face was very excited. He had never thought of being able to lead an army on his own. This time Liu Zhang asked him to be Dian Wei's deputy. He was quite satisfied. Unexpectedly, Liu Zhang returned this promise to him!
"My lord, Xu Huang will definitely live up to his mission!"
"I know in my heart that you are a man of public knowledge! Work hard!"
Xu Huang didn't say any more heroic words, but his determined eyes showed his determination!
"Zilong!"
Zhao Yun stood up directly. He was always waiting for Liu Zhang to call him.
"The end is here!"
"Zilong, I won't set the number of troops for you in the martial arts camp. You can expand the army as much as you can!"
Liu Zhang can't be too concerned about the cavalry camp for the time being. In fact, he has ways to quickly form an army, but these things can't be used now. Once leaked, the consequences will be simply unbearable!
"The last general takes command!"
The affairs of the generals were all arranged, and Liu Zhang knew that it would be the turn of the civilian officials next.
"Brother Zini."
Guoyuan stood up and bowed his hands to Liu Zhang.
"My lord, please give me your instructions."
"Brother Zini, Hanzhong County only has a population of 300,000, and it will definitely not be able to support our troops, so we urgently need a stable method of producing food."
Guoyuan's eyes lit up, and he immediately knew what Liu Zhang meant.
"Master, do you want to farm?"
"That's right! Isn't this exactly what Brother Zini is good at!"
Liu Zhang was well aware of Guo Yuan's talents, and all Cao Cao's farming system was entrusted to Guo Yuan.
"My lord, this farm has been around since ancient times. It can be divided into military and civilian villages. I wonder which one your lord is going to let me start?"
Liu Zhang didn't want to control things too leniently, he had already made up his mind to let Guoyuan have a free hand.
"Zini, anything you think is feasible can be implemented in Hanzhong! Although there is only one county in Hanzhong, this is the land of Longxing! The Hanzhong Plain has a vast land, but the families are quite rare! So the land here can be used as desired.
At our disposal!"
Guoyuan did not expect that Liu Zhang would give him a big surprise! This task was no less than the recruitment of Huang Zhong and his five men!
The soldiers and horses went ahead before the food and grass were moved! Guoyuan knew that Liu Zhang was putting everything on him!
"Don't worry, my lord, Guoyuan will definitely handle this matter!"
"Brother Zini, I am completely at ease!"
Liu Zhang has complete confidence in Guoyuan. Guoyuan is definitely a top figure in politics. He is loyal to his duties, sharp in speech, dares to speak, and is upright and selfless! With Guoyuan handling the Hanzhong farming matter, the results are definitely far beyond Liu Zhang's expectations!
"Brother Gongyou! There is an important task that can only fall on my shoulders!"
Sun Qian was overjoyed when he heard that Liu Zhang was going to give him a heavy responsibility.
"My Lord, please give me your orders!"
Liu Zhang curled his lips and revealed an intriguing smile.
"Brother Gongyou, please go to Luo County and pay a visit to Quejian for me."
"I asked Your Majesty to grant me the power of a false ax, mainly to intimidate the governor of Yizhou, Que Jian. This man is very greedy. He has been amassing money since he took office and has committed all kinds of evil in Luo County! The whole Yizhou is full of complaints!"
"So Quejian must be very rich. We won't attack him, but we can't let him go easily! He still has to spare us some blood!"
Sun Qian was very talented in diplomacy and immediately understood what Liu Zhang meant.
"My lord, I understand! I just don't know how much blood my lord wants to give to Que Jian!"
Sun Qian's evil attitude was right in Liu Zhang's mind, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. No wonder Liu Bei loved Sun Qian from beginning to end!
"We are about to attack the Liangzhou rebels in the near future. We must have 30,000 troops... Gongyou, you can do it easily. I believe you."
Like Guoyuan, Liu Zhang also gave Sun Qian great autonomy. Liu Zhang didn't know much about Quejian, but he knew that this man regarded wealth as his life! It is definitely not an easy task to pry something out of the hands of such a person. .
Instead of putting great pressure on Sun Qian, it is better to let Sun Qian play freely. It may bring great surprises!
Sun Qian didn't ask any more questions and directly took over Liu Zhang's important task.
"Report, my lord, County Cheng Yan Shan and County Lieutenant Yang Lin are asking for an audience."
"Please come in."
Liu Zhang had gotten to know these two people since they met once at the reception banquet three days ago. However, Yan Shan and Yang Lin never came to pay homage to Liu Zhang, the new governor.
Liu Zhang didn't blame these two people. After all, Su Gu had just left, so it might be enough to explain something to these two people.
"Meet the Governor."
"No need to be polite, please take a seat!"
Yan Shan and Yang Lin were very polite and greeted Liu Zhang directly after entering. After Liu Zhang offered a seat, they greeted everyone in the room separately.
"The two of us have been handing over affairs with Su Taishou for the past three days. We didn't have time to meet with him. Please forgive me!"
Yan Shan thought about it again and again, and finally explained to Liu Zhang the reason why he had not seen him in the past few days.
"Yan Juncheng, you don't have to be like this, it's reasonable. Please sit down, I just have something to ask these two gentlemen."
Yan Shan and Yang Lin found a seat and then waited for Liu Zhang's inquiry.
"Yan Juncheng, you also know the purpose of my coming to Hanzhong. It is mainly to deal with the incident in Liangzhou. Now my general has less than five thousand soldiers and horses. The top priority is to recruit troops quickly to supplement the strength of Hanzhong. Otherwise, let's not talk about conquering Liangzhou. , I’m afraid that self-protection in Hanzhong has become a delusion!”
Yan Shan nodded, but he was not optimistic about this matter, with a sad look on his face.
"How many troops are you planning to recruit, Lord Prefect?"
Liu Zhang didn't say anything and directly stretched out two fingers.
"This...is difficult!"
"It's difficult? With a population of 300,000 in Hanzhong, can't we recruit 20,000 soldiers?"
Liu Zhang did not expect that Yan Shan poured cold water on him directly, and he suddenly felt dissatisfied.
According to Liu Zhang's understanding of this era, the general recruitment ratio can reach ten to one, let alone not reach the level of ten to one at all.
"The governor doesn't know something. Bandits are rampant in Hanzhong County. In order to prevent these bandits, each county has an establishment of 500 soldiers. The county governor's office also has 1,000 standing soldiers. Including the 500 soldiers in Yangping Pass, it is equivalent to today's Hanzhong County already has six thousand soldiers."
