Shouchun's old army was stationed in scattered places. Wu Sheng, Xu Fang and others sent their subordinates to lead the troops to convey orders, take over the defense area, and at the same time supervise the reorganization. Huang Zhong, Gan Ning and others were also ordered to send their subordinates.
Will, go together to cooperate with each other.
Dozens of personnel appointments were issued one after another. Starting from Wu Sheng, all Xuzhou generals were listed on them. Some Jiangdong generals were also mentioned.
Wu Sheng: The military wing he was guarding was changed from Xiapi to Lu'an, and his position was promoted from Jianwei General to Zhongjian General. Even though the latter's name does not sound as majestic as the former, and the military rank is the same, but "Jianwei"
” is a miscellaneous general, but “backbone” is a permanent general, and its value is completely different.
Even without the knowledge of outsiders, Wu Sheng also served as the intelligence department newly established by Wang Zheng. Sima of the Governor's Department, in terms of authority alone, had surpassed Xu Fang and Zhang Zhao, and became the true meaning of the Tianjun forces.
"Below one person and above ten thousand people".
Xu Fang: His official position has not been changed, and he has concurrently served as the Prime Minister of Pengcheng State based on merit. However, he still has to continue to garrison Pei State. He will not be able to officially return to Pengcheng State until Lu Bu's Bingzhou Army arrives to take over the defense in the future.
Huang Zhong: He was promoted from a fifth-grade Zhonglang general to a fifth-grade permanent Pinglu general. He was also authorized by Wang Zheng to form a separate battalion of troops and horses, which was included in the third branch of the Heavenly Army. He personally gave the camp flag and named it "Shooting".
"Japan", outsiders may not know it, but everyone in the civil and military forces under Wang Zheng's command knows that the three heavenly armies are the most elite troops of the general (zhou Mu), and their status is far higher than the earth army, auxiliary army and Xuzhou divided by regions.
Taishan Army and others.
Being able to become a mid-level general in the three branches of the Tianjun can be regarded as Wang Zheng's true confidant. Huang Zhong can be considered for this position. In a sense, it means that he has become the fourth one after Wu Sheng, Xu Fang and Yu Jin.
Entering the ranks of Wang Zheng's direct descendants.
Gu Jian was promoted to the sixth rank Sui Border Guard, and his station was transferred from Ying County, Taishan to Anfeng to guard the Lujiang border; Zang Ba was promoted to the fifth rank partial general, and his station was transferred from Tancheng, Donghai to Liyang, Jiujiang. It is worth mentioning that
, this matter was actually brought up by Zang Ba on his own initiative.
Zang Ba was originally a former subordinate of Tao Qian, and he had been operating in the East China Sea for many years. The most important thing is that, like Chang Xi, he was the only one of Wang Zheng's generals with independent armed forces. Chang Xi was better, after all, he was in Mount Tai.
Fenggao was stationed, but Zang Ba was always stationed in Tancheng.
This was the heart of the Heavenly Army's former power. Let alone Wang Zheng, no one else could be the pastor of Xuzhou without a little suspicion and precaution against such a strong general.
Wang Zheng had been busy with things and had frequent wars before. When he saw Zang Ba yesterday, he mentioned the topic of Yuan Shu's reorganization of the nine counties. Of course he said "in the future."
The journey is generally to the south, and there may be more wars. Unfortunately, there are too few good generals under his command. It is regrettable that someone like Xuan Gao must stay in Xuzhou to calm down." This is actually because I want to test this local snake.
Mind.
Although Xiapi was no longer a political hub, Wang Zheng still felt that it was not appropriate to allow Zang Ba to continue to stay in the East China Sea.
After all, this person has both ability and troops. After Liu Bei's defeat in Xuzhou, more than half of Tao Qian's former troops joined him. He is currently the largest powerful force in Xuzhou. To be honest, if he really has some evil intentions, the threat is not small.
.
But Zang Ba not only made great contributions in capturing Tan County and driving away Liu Bei, but also contributed greatly to the rapid surrender of Guangling County this time. If he himself was unwilling and opposed this, it would really not be possible.
Easy to handle.
On the one hand, Wang Zheng couldn't help but take the initiative to do evil things to such a hero. On the other hand, he was so embarrassed that he was ruthless. It would not sound good if it was spread out, and the impact would be even worse.
After all, since Gou Jian, the capable people in the world not only hope that the heroes they rely on will be wise and capable, but also it is best not to be mean and ungrateful.
Being able to travel among various princes for many years in the original history, becoming an independent force of his own, and finally having a good death under the eyes of Cao Cao and Cao Pi, father and son, Zang Ba is naturally a first-rate smart man.
When you hear the string song, you will know its elegant meaning.
I don’t know whether it was Wang Zheng’s high charm that had the effect, or whether he had become more and more optimistic about the strength of the Tianjun during this period, and had made a sincere decision to join him. Zang Ba’s performance was very straightforward, and he went directly without hesitation.
sidewalk:
"Xu
The two generals Xu Fang and Jin Yu in the state are enough to guard the state. The general has heard that generals Wu and Huang are showing off their skills in Jiangdong, and he is really jealous. If the state Mu can not give up, the general is willing to go all out and lead the army.
Go forward and ask for the power to split the earth!"
Hearing this, Wang Zheng was very happy and nodded repeatedly. But only an hour after the banquet ended, Zang Ba took the initiative to go to the palace again to ask for an audience. As soon as he returned to the embassy, he hurriedly wrote a statement and offered to lead his army.
Go to Liyang to guard.
Liyang is the easternmost county of Jiujiang County, adjacent to the Yangtze River, and opposite Niuzhu and Shicheng in Danyang. When Sun Ce attacked Yangzhou Governor Liu Yao in the name of Yuan Shu, it was this route he took.
From this point, we can see that Zang Ba's words at the banquet were not lies, which made Wang Zheng sigh with emotion: "How can Huang Tian treat me so kindly to a general like Xuan Gao?".
Of course, the emotion was true, but the emotion was not necessarily true. Zang Ba's actions indeed made Wang Zheng look at him with admiration, but it was more about the other party's knowledge and knowledge rather than his daring loyalty.
After all, the other party didn't apply to join the team, so it's still a question mark how loyal he can be.
In addition, generals such as Yu Jin and Chang Xi who guarded the border, and newly attached generals such as Gan Ning and Zhang Liao also received rewards.
Because when Zhang Zhaochu arrived in Shouchun, he had not yet decided with Guo Jia and Lu Ji on the military merit titles of the current Heavenly Army, so for the time being all the generals were only awarded official positions. Other Jiangdong old generals with more military power may be selected to join the newly built Earthly Army.
The fourth battalion of the third department may be transferred to the field army and serve as military personnel.
Among the eliminated ones, if there are those who no longer want to join the army, they will be transferred to local places. Depending on the level of their military positions, they will be rewarded with money and given civilian positions. However, the civilian positions given are all idle jobs. The meaning is very clear, and they will be supported with salary.
That's it for them. The royal government is still very particular about this aspect. If you take away someone else's military power, you can't help but give some compensation, right?
Of course, you have to be strict with me. Under such circumstances, if someone dares to be dissatisfied and do something stupid, then you can't blame him for being ruthless.
Just after he finished discussing the merits and rewards to a group of generals, Wang Zheng turned his attention to the other side.
Not long ago, Lu Ji had officially sent an official document to Xiapi on behalf of Jiujiang County requesting spring plowing assistance, and coordinated with the officials in the two places.
In fact, this was just a routine matter. Wang Zheng nodded and Zhang Zhao looked over. Naturally, it was a green light and it was a matter of course.
Of course, even so, Wang Zheng, the Xuzhou pastor, is still personally paying attention to the progress. After all, there is no doubt that this is the most urgent matter that Shouchun and even Jiujiang and Lujiang counties need to deal with right now.
Lu Ji was very motivated. After all, in his opinion, Mi Heng, a crazy scholar, could receive such tolerance and courtesy from Wang Zheng. Although it was morally unworthy, on the other hand, it also meant that
Have you chosen the right lord?
If you have ability and ambition, the key is to attach great importance to love and justice!
In this case, he naturally wanted to seize this opportunity. The young man was already very energetic, and now he is even more full of fighting spirit. Although there are piles of copywriting and many customers, he can respond fluently and keep writing. One after another official affairs are handled by him.
In the past, everything was handled properly. The myriad civil affairs and farming matters gradually became orderly.
The first batch of cattle, seeds, and farm tools were transported to Dangtu three days later. Gu Yong and Lu Ji, who had already rushed there, talked to each other from a distance. Because Wang Zheng had attacked Shouchun before, Yang Hong had already sent them there.
Most of the soldiers from nearby counties and cities were mobilized, and there were not many Yangzhou troops left, so it was easiest to reorganize them, and with the proximity to the capital, the speed was also faster. The soldiers who transferred to the garrison army were greatly influenced by the officers and the left and right departments.
Under the leadership of the officials, they immediately jumped into the battle without waiting for a rest, and rushed to Dangtu to pull the supplies shipped from Xiapi to various places.
Shouchun, who was suffering from internal and external troubles, took another step forward under the overall command of Wang Zheng.
All civil servants are now focusing their attention on disaster relief and spring plowing. All military attachés, old and new, have also invested in reorganizing the army, reorganizing, and preparing for war. The weather is obviously getting colder every day.
On that day, because everyone was very busy, the land of Jiangdong showed an increasingly lively atmosphere.
Of course, there are also some small episodes that affect harmonious progress.
The protagonist is
Gan Ning.
Unlike others, Gan Ning defected to Wang Zheng largely because he was easily defeated by Wang Zheng in the martial arts he was most proud of, so he was completely convinced. The reason why this battle took place was because the heavenly army surrounded Shou that day.
In the spring, Gan Ning and Li Ren took the initiative to break out of the siege. As luck would have it, that day also happened to be the planned raid time of the Heavenly Army. The two sides collided, and Gan Ning was immediately surrounded. Those who followed him along the way were also surrounded.
Yizhou first went to Jingzhou, and then came to Yangzhou with hundreds of soldiers. This battle could be said to have resulted in all casualties.
Gan Ning did not record this account with the generals of the Heavenly Army at that time, but instead wanted to kill Li Ren and then quickly followed him.
Why?
Because he was out rushing to call for help, but Li Ren was stationed at the city gate and refused to save him!
Although Wang Zheng's order was unable to kill him, Gan Ning would be hard-pressed to deal with his anger if nothing was done. Previously, he had temporarily formed a new army with the two of them in the same battalion. Gan Ning felt it was inconvenient to take action. As the establishment increased again,
After adjustment, Gan Ning would still hold an important position in the new army, but Li Ren, a meritorious but incompetent man, was transferred to Chengde by Wang Zheng as a county captain.
After all, we are no longer in Yiyingpaoze. How can Gan Ning, who hates Li Ren, still hold back?
On the day Li Ren left the city, he hid from the crowd and chased for more than 20 miles alone with his sword and bow in hand. He caught up with Li Ren and his party by the Shaohe River. First, he shot an arrow from a hundred steps away.
He shot off Li Ren's crown tassel, immediately clamped his horse's belly, rode his horse into the formation, and killed Li Ren in the formation.
At this time, there were clearly more than 200 soldiers around Li Ren, but they were frightened by Gan Ning's divine power. They were all frightened and did not have the slightest interception effect, and the defense line collapsed instantly!
Then he slashed the flag with his sword and captured the general with one arm. Gan Ning was so proud that he finally let go of his bad temper. He sat on his horse and shouted to Li Ren who fell to the ground: "You man, outside Shouchun City that day, did you ever think of today?"
Will it fall into my hands?"
Li Renzhan, who was already disgraced from the fall, trembled and said with fear: "Gan Xingba, don't forget what Zhou Mu said."
"Pooh!"
Gan Ning whipped out his horsewhip, and Li Ren suddenly convulsed under the severe pain. He held his head and screamed, "The general only said he couldn't kill you, but he never said he couldn't beat you!"
"Under the command of Mr. Yuan, there are men like you who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and have no courage. How can they be undefeated?"
While cursing, he kept whipping his horsewhip. Seeing that Li Ren was beaten with blood and was no longer human, and fell into a state of inhaling more and exhaling less, he gave up angrily, and drove his mount again, trampling his military flag back and forth, and looked around.
The people on the left and right looked arrogant, and hundreds of soldiers were watching, but no one dared to stop them.
After being beaten and scolded, Gan Ning still felt it was not enough and turned his horse's head again to spit at the unconscious Li Ren. Only then was he satisfied with his ambition and laughed to the sky. Then he no longer bothered to look at Li Ren and his soldiers.
With one glance, he walked away and headed back to the city.
Gan Ning thought that he was doing it secretly by himself. After all, Li Ren would not take the initiative to tell outsiders such embarrassing things, but he did not know that Shouchun was surrounded by the eyes and ears of Benmingsi. That night, Mi Fang informed Wang Zheng of the matter.
.
"Li Ren was whipped by Gan Ning?"
Hearing this, Wang Zheng was startled for a moment, and then he stopped laughing and waved his hand casually: "If you hit me, you will hit me. If you don't die, you won't be disobeying my order."
Speaking of which, Li Ren, Ji Ling, and Yan Xiang were the first to get acquainted with him in the Yangzhou Army.
However, although they had known each other for a long time, Wang Zheng did not have a good impression of this mediocre person who had neither ability nor virtue, and naturally there was no friendship left at all.
Since there is no friendship, it is obvious who he would prefer between Gan Ning and Li Ren based on pure interests.
the other side.
After traveling for more than ten days, Lu Su's envoys had crossed the Shao River, turned several tributaries of the Huai River, and reached the waterway into the river, officially entering the territory of Jiangxia in Jingzhou.
When I was in the Lujiang River before, although the scenery along the way was beautiful, there were very few people. Occasionally, I saw that the villages near the river had no smoke anymore and had been abandoned for a long time. Only in a few county towns along the river did I see a few fishermen casting their nets.
From this moment on, the river path is visible to the naked eye.
As the place became more prosperous, not only dinghy boats like theirs became common, but also three- and four-story building boats.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Yu pondered for a moment and said with emotion to Lu Su beside him: "Zijing, Liu Jingsheng was born at the wrong time."
Lu Su nodded. He naturally understood the meaning of Zhou Yu's words. The heroes are competing for the throne and fighting endlessly. No matter who succeeds or loses, the final suffering will fall on the people of Li.
At this time, in the Han Dynasty, no matter in the north or south, there was no peace or peace anywhere, but Jingzhou under Liu Biao became the only exception.
You must know that this is Jingzhou, the heart of the world. Not only is the geographical location important, but it also has the largest county in the world like Nanyang County, which can allow such a place to enjoy peace and tranquility for seven or eight years. This is enough to prove that Liu Biao is not only responsible for internal affairs but also for
Diplomacy was done extremely well.
From this point alone, Liu Biao was indeed a capable and accomplished monarch.
Then why did Zhou Yu say that he was born at the wrong time?
Because Liu Biao was capable and accomplished, but he lacked courage and courage, let alone the spirit of courage.
In peaceful times, ability alone might be enough to achieve great achievements, but in such a time of great strife, it is far from enough!
