The corpses of hundreds of people were lying in front of the county government office, looking like a massacre.
Chen Yuan took one look, waved his hand, and asked someone to take the body away and clean the street.
It is not a pity for these people to die.
Taishi Ci and Zhao Yun also received the Dharma images at this time and came to Chen Yuan.
"The military advisor and the thieves have all been appointed. Please give instructions from the military advisor."
Chen Yuan nodded: "Zilong, Ziyi, thank you for your hard work."
After finishing speaking, Chen Yuan said again: "In the next few days, you two will have to work hard. Each of you will lead five hundred soldiers and horses to the remaining seventeen counties in Nan County at night, and post a letter from the Mufu of our state to the people of all counties.
In addition, magistrates from various counties came to Xiangyang to discuss matters related to Nanjun."
"By the way, let Ziyi personally invite Governor Guo."
Taishi Ci and Zhao Yun took the order and led their troops away.
After Taishi Ci and Zhao Yun left, Xiangyang was basically empty and had no soldiers.
We still need to expand the army, as the troops are obviously not enough.
Thinking of this, Chen Yuan suddenly remembered the tens of thousands of yellow scarves in Daxing Mountain in Youzhou.
It's time to get them here too.
Chen Yuan then sent a letter to Xu Heng for him to go to Youzhou to meet Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang.
Firstly, tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans from the Daxing Mountains were brought to Jingzhou, and secondly, Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang were brought to Jingzhou to join them.
These two are good at managing property, so let's hire them to be assistants to our senior brother, so that our senior brother won't have to complain in front of us every day that we don't have enough manpower.
Once tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans arrive, the army can be expanded to five thousand in an instant.
With these five thousand soldiers and horses, it is enough for the time being.
It's not that Chen Yuan didn't want to send more troops, the main reason was that he didn't have enough food.
We have to wait until next year's grain harvest. With the powerful weapon of Champa rice and the income from farming, it is easy to expand the army by 50,000.
Once we have 50,000 soldiers and horses, we can plot the four counties of Jingnan.
It's not that Liu Bei, the shepherd of Jingzhou, can't give orders to Jingzhou, but Chen Yuan doesn't want that kind of obedience.
He wanted Liu Bei to completely control Jingzhou and strive to make every prefect and county magistrate his own.
Only in this way can the strength of Jingzhou be integrated into one and forge a basic plan for hegemony in the world.
After all, Jingzhou is not as good as those big states in the Central Plains, such as Yuzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou and Xuzhou.
These states have a large population and outstanding people. If you just occupy one and build it, you can gather a lot of strength.
Chen Yuan originally thought about occupying Qingzhou or Yuzhou, but when he thought of the turmoil that these latter states would face, he immediately declined.
Jingzhou is better. Apart from the problems of clan thieves and powerful people, there is basically nothing else to solve.
The problem of the Wuxi barbarians is actually easy to solve.
At worst, there will be seven captures and five rivers!
Chen Yuan's idea was to lead his troops directly and take over the four counties of Jingnan by force. Those who dissatisfied would be dismissed from office on the spot.
The Jingzhou captured in this way is a usable Jingzhou.
After the arrangements were made, Chen Yuan sent another letter to Zang Ba in Qingzhou.
Although Zang Ba's place is a very important point, he cannot support so many people.
Therefore, Chen Yuan planned to pick up some people from Zang Ba and let them go separately and not together.
It is best to go in a group of dozens of people, which is safe and does not attract attention.
However, Chen Yuan asked Zang Ba not to send people over all at once, but to come one after another, so as to relieve the pressure and not attract attention.
Try to move the Yellow Turbans from these two places before next year's grain harvest.
Chen Yuan has already planned for these Yellow Turbans. They should be distributed in the seventeen cities of Nanjun. This will not only reduce the pressure on each county, but also allow these Yellow Turbans to be integrated into Nanjun. By the way, they can also serve as the governor's office.
Eyes and ears.
Kill three birds with one stone.
Regarding Zang Ba, Chen Yuan had a vague idea to see if Zang Ba could sneak into Boss Cao's team and become a super undercover agent who could turn against him at the critical moment and seal the victory.
Of course, this is just Chen Yuan's own idea, and it depends on whether Zang Ba is willing to do it.
Of course, these are only distant waters and cannot quench the near thirst.
What to do if there are no soldiers? Recruit them.
The number of Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng's bandits was simply large enough, so Chen Yuanyou asked Gu Yong to select a thousand strong men to form new soldiers.
It happened to be trained by Dian Wei.
Chen Yuan planned to train Dian Wei to become a guard camp for these one thousand people.
Dedicated to protecting Liu Bei.
Yes, Chen Yuan did not intend to keep Dian Wei with him, he planned to give Dian Wei to Liu Bei.
Let Dian Wei serve as Liu Bei's guard commander.
Because when Chen Yuan checked Dian Wei's attributes, he saw Dian Wei's special arms.
Tiger Guard.
This unit is very special, it is a full-time guard unit.
Use shields and swords, and when led by Dian Wei, you can form a military formation and a Feibiao formation.
The defensive capabilities of this formation are among the top three in the world, and it is perfect for protecting Liu Bei.
After all, Liu Bei likes to draw knives and go into battle to kill people, which is indispensable for battlefield conquests. With the Tiger Guard Camp, Liu Bei's safety will be greatly increased.
Zhao Yun and Chen can be liberated when they arrive. These two people are capable of commanding troops. If they always protect Liu Bei, they will be overqualified and underused.
It just so happened that Dian Wei was there. Although Dian Wei was strong in force, his ability to lead troops was a bit lacking. He was suitable for commanding a thousand Tiger Guards.
If there are more, Dian Wei won't be able to play with it.
As for Chen Yuan himself, he has already identified candidates for his bodyguard.
That is Zhou Tai.
Although Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai were both working as bandits on the river to earn a living, Jiang Qin was different from Zhou Tai.
Although his cultivation is not as good as that of Zhou Tai, he is eager to learn and will have good fortune in the future. He can lead the army and govern the country.
The same cannot be said for Zhou Tai, who is a completely reckless person, quite similar to Dian Wei.
Therefore, it would be more appropriate for him to bring this guy over to serve as his bodyguard. As for Jiang Qin, he should be the first naval commander of the Jingzhou Army if nothing else happens.
Next, Chen Yuan was not idle. He wrote to Liu Bei and reported everything that happened during these days. At the same time, he asked Liu Bei to confirm the official positions of Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue.
In addition, the messengers who sent people from those places also came back one after another.
As expected, Xu Chu refused and wrote back a letter. The reason was that his parents were still alive and it was difficult to travel far away. He also asked Liu Shijun not to be offended.
His words were very literary, and it was clear that although Xu Chu was known for his forcefulness, he was not a reckless man.
The remaining people, Huang Gai, Chen Dao, Jiang Qin and Zhou Taiquan, were all recruited.
Chen Yuan warmly entertained the four of them and promised them official positions.
But Chen Yuan suddenly had worries about happiness, because there were not so many troops to arrange for these few people.
We can't let all four of them work as guards.
After thinking for a while, Chen Yuan arranged for Huang Gai to go to Taishi Ci and bring his latest military orders to monitor Wuling County.
When Chen arrived, he asked him to go to Zhao Yun and bring the latest military orders to monitor Changsha County.
As for Jiang Qin, Chen Yuan directly asked him to summon him and Zhou Tai's old troops to form the Jingzhou Navy.
Zhou Tai and Chen Yuan directly left him by their side.
