Chapter 444 I'm afraid you'll kill me sooner or later
Huang Zhong, Wenpin should be able to be transferred directly, and the issue of banning is not big. Xu Chu is a problem, and he has no sense of identity with Liu Xiang, both in public and private matters.
Xu Chu's family occupies too much land, and the clan is too big. Although the family is not on Liu Xiang's territory now, it will be a matter of time. It will be split up in the future, and part of the land will have to be handed back. It is difficult to deal with it.
He has a favorable impression and will probably refuse the appointment.
He was still a village party member of Lao Cao. After surrendering, he was in charge of the guards and was equivalent to a family general. His relationship was only slightly worse than that of Cao's and Xiahou's clan generals. Cao Cao probably would not let him go.
It is impossible for Liu Xiang to fall out with Lao Cao because of Xu Chu. It would make him appear narrow-minded. Who would dare to join him in the future?
Let Xu Chu dry for now.
Erase his name.
"Take Huang Zhong as the captain of the military camp."
"Tiao Wen was appointed as the captain of Qingcheying."
Send a message to the army in Nanyang:
"I appointed Guan Yu as the prefect of Runan. After occupying Xiangyang, he transferred the front army to Runan to garrison. I ordered him to persuade him to surrender to the ban, and to eliminate the old and weak Nanyang prisoners, and the remaining ones were dispersed and organized into Guo Dian's command."
"Moving Guo Dian to serve as the governor of Nanyang, concurrently serving as the governor of Jingzhou, taking charge of the war in Jingzhou, and transferring the 20,000 Qingzhou troops under his command to the Jingzhou garrison, and the families of the soldiers can move to Nanyang to share their fields."
"Ti Lejin became the governor of Xiangyang and was placed under the control of Guo Dian. His 10,000 Xuzhou regiment was transferred to Xiangyang garrison. According to the regulations, family members can move to the surrounding areas of Xiangyang to allocate fields."
"Chen Gong moved to Nanjun to be the prefect."
"Zhang Miao moved to Jiangxia as governor."
Liu Xiang dipped his hand in ink and continued to write military orders. Nanyang was only taking over the city. There was no need to worry about Nanjun and Jiangxia for the time being. As long as Xiangyang was captured, the two counties could be conquered slowly.
It would be a waste to have an army of 60,000 people stay there, 30,000 to 40,000 people are enough, and the rest can be transferred to Runan with Guan Yu, or to supplement the strength of the Fourth Army.
Now that the territory is larger, the tasks shouldered by the Fourth Army are even heavier. Many times, they need to fight alone. Five thousand people are not enough, so they must expand the army.
"Each of them will mobilize five thousand Jizhou regiments to supplement the front army and the left army."
"Each state's corps will be transferred to five thousand, and the rear army and right army will be supplemented."
After the reinforcements were completed, each of the four armies had 10,000 soldiers, and Liu Xiang had more than 70,000 regular soldiers to support. His need for trade routes became even more urgent.
We need to end things in the south quickly and mobilize to the west as soon as possible.
The autumn harvest will be in less than a month. After the autumn harvest, there will be wars in the three auxiliaries. The war rhythm of the farming people is only a few nodes, and the generals who lead the troops all year round know it well.
Niu Fu is not a famous general, but for such a simple truth, it is impossible for him not to know that after the autumn harvest, Chang'an will definitely send troops to attack him. Duan Xuan and Hu Zhen surrendered, and an army of 60,000 people gathered there.
Huangfu Song has been appointed by the imperial court. He is a famous general in the world. He destroyed hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans in one year. The hundreds of thousands of Liangzhou rebels were no match for old Huangfu. If it weren't for the eunuchs, Han Sui would have been killed long ago.
He was beheaded, how could he be so arrogant for so many years?
He has personally experienced these wars. He only has 40,000 people, how can he possibly defeat them?
As for taking refuge with Liu Qiaoqi, let's forget it. He is a man who loves the people like his own son. He knows very well what his subordinates are like. It is light to be beheaded, and each of them is the material to be quartered.
The whole army knew this, and no one dared to seek refuge.
But my uncle had no money to pay for the army, so what could he do if they were not allowed to rob him?
Niu Fu sighed and couldn't find a way out. During this period, he had already had nine hexagrams made by divination, and every time it was very bad, there was no way he could survive here.
Gotta go, gotta go!
You have to leave quietly, take your family property with you, hide your name, and maybe you can still survive.
…………
In the Mid-Autumn Festival of August, Liu Xiang received a message from Yan Rou. Niu Fu was killed by his slave Hu Cheer. The Liangzhou army stationed in Zuofengyi was in chaos. All parts scattered and fled. No one was willing to surrender. He submitted a letter to ask for instructions.
Don't send troops?
The old cow was thrown to death?
The last tight spell of Li Jue, Guo Si and others was gone. With Jia Wenhe's encouragement again, they were about to counterattack Chang'an.
Now is not the time to send out troops. Isn't it time to rush over and fight Li Jue and others so that Lu Bu can take advantage?
You can't do such a costly thing.
He replied to Yan Rou, staying vigilant, sending additional sentries, waiting for the opportunity, paying special attention to the warships anchored in Kunming Pool.
There is a navy in Chang'an. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty dug Kunming Pool manually on the tributary of the Wei River in the southwest of Chang'an, based on Lingmarsh. It has a circumference of 16 kilometers and a lake surface of 14 square kilometers. It is used to train the navy. There are large and small ships in it.
There are hundreds of ships, dozens of flat ships and dozens of fighting ships.
Liu Xiang had been on Chang'an's tall ships, but he didn't know how many there were now and whether they could still fight. The spies couldn't get into them.
I wonder if Fatty Dong, a local from Liangzhou, can see the strategic value of building battleships and whether they have been maintained over the years.
After all, it is a wooden boat. If it is soaked in water for several years without maintenance, who knows if it can still be driven.
Liu Xiang was very anxious, but he couldn't leave now. The disarmament had not yet been completed. Guan Yu had just arrived with his front army, and there were still many counties in Runan that he had not yet captured.
There are so many things going on here, and it’s only been more than half a month, and I can’t finish them all.
Nanyang has been pacified. As expected, Nanjun and Jiangxia did not accept the order to surrender. The major families are recruiting troops to resist, especially Huang Zu, who has no less than 20,000 troops. He has formed an alliance with Zhang Xian of Jiangnan to jointly resist Liu Xiang's "
"tyranny" and to protect the family's property.
I don't have time to deal with them now, let's leave it to Guo Dian and others to deal with it slowly.
Fortunately, Xiangyang was captured and the gate to Jingzhou was already in hand. Yue Jin and Chen Gong were stationed here. Guo Dian and Zhang Miao gathered troops and horses in Nanyang. The two groups of troops could go south at any time, waiting for the autumn harvest.
After the common people have divided their fields and returned their grain and grass to their warehouses, they can teach these wealthy and powerful families who cannot see the situation clearly a lesson.
There is no need to worry about the war in Jingzhou. After the disarmament of Runan is completed, the Chinese army can march westward with these soldiers.
Seventy thousand troops have been laid off, 40,000 have returned home, and 30,000 are ready to be mobilized to Luoyang. Only Zhang Xun's troops are left, and the work is almost over.
Officials from Youbingqingji were also mobilized and began to fill the vacancies in Yingchuan, Nanyang, and Runan.
There are always scholars who don't like Liu Xiang, so some run away, some seek death, and many are seriously corrupt and commit heinous crimes, which creates a lot of gaps for officials in various places and provides promotion for minor officials in other states.
It also provides employment opportunities for the students of Zhuojun Fu School. Thank them. They are all good people.
On August 15th, the Mid-Autumn Festival, many fields in Henan have been harvested, and they are busy returning to warehouses, planning, and dividing the fields.
Liu Xiang was not busy, so he held a banquet to invite Cao Cao and Liu Biao to gather for the festival.
Lao Cao smiled happily. I don't know if he was pretending or if he was really happy. At least there was no worry on the surface.
Liu Biao couldn't help but laugh. He had been very disappointed recently. He had gone from a feudal official to a prodigal. What was even worse was that he found that he had never controlled the territory in name only. It was strange that he was in a good mood.
Liu Xiang didn't know how to comfort him. He was the culprit of his unhappiness. He might as well find something for him to do and decide on the outcome so that he could have some peace of mind.
"Brother Jing Sheng is very knowledgeable and good at running schools. You have built schools all over Jingzhou. This is good governance. I also want to run schools under your rule. I wonder if Brother Jing Sheng is willing to help me?"
Of course Liu Xiang was talking about elementary school. Liu He had been working hard, but unfortunately, he only opened more than fifty schools, which was too slow and could not even be counted as a fraction.
Liu Biao finally smiled when he talked about running a school. Although he was born in a clan, he followed the path of a scholar from the Qing Dynasty since he was a child. He was also implicated in the party's suppression of scholars. This shows that he
choice.
"I wonder how the general wants to run the school?"
"First, we will set up at least one elementary school in each county to provide elementary education for young children. Later, we will slowly expand the scale and strive to open elementary schools in the villages. As for the academies and universities that teach classics, we have not yet decided. If there are great Confucian scholars who are willing to teach,
Of course I am willing to support it.
There is an academy in the book city. Recently I heard that several famous Confucian scholars have different opinions on the classics and want to open an academy outside the book city. I think it is good, but I am so busy with trivial matters that I have no energy to deal with it. It is a pity."
Liu Biao held his beard under his chin and thought for a moment. He was not good at military strategy. It would be extremely difficult to hold on to his territory in troubled times. Now that he had been defeated by his fellow clan members, he might as well stop thinking and concentrate on running a school.
Over the years, I have studied classics and history diligently, and it is a good time to spread my knowledge and become a famous scholar and Confucian scholar in the world.
"Running schools and educating people, highlighting culture and education, is actually good governance, and I long for it."
Liu Xiang nodded, very satisfied with Liu Biao's choice.
"Throughout the dynasties and dynasties, only the Imperial College has officials and no attention is paid to basic education. I think it is not good, so I want to establish an agency to manage the world's schools and name it Guozijian. It means to supervise the students all over the world. I would like to pay my respects to the king.
Brother Sheng offers wine to the Imperial Academy, but I hope you will give in."
"I am willing to do my best for the general."
After using a noble official position to get Liu Biao, I hope he can really concentrate on running a school.
Cao Cao cupped his hands to congratulate him, and Liu Biao thanked him in return.
Everyone knows what he is saying, giving up his rights and being free and easy. They don't know Liu Xiang's intention to implement the imperial examination, and they don't know the rights and prestige of the imperial examination. After all, it is just an empty shell now, except for the name.
, nothing.
After congratulating Liu Biao, Lao Cao spoke: "Six years ago, I followed the general to conquer Xianbei. In the following years, General Meng did not give up and became a friend. Today I want to say something from my heart to my friend. I don't know what Yicheng wants.
Don’t want to hear it?”
"Speaking."
"If you don't marry my daughter, I'm afraid you will kill me sooner or later."
