Jiang Wei actually took the initiative to withdraw his troops from Guancheng! When Qin Liang and others received Chen Tai's urgent report, everyone in the room was very happy.
Qin Liang stood up from the banquet. If there wasn't someone around him, he would have wanted to dance. At this time, he could only calm down his joy by walking around.
At this time, the Wei army had already entered Seoul, and Qin Liang also lived in a spacious house in the city.
He did not live in the official temple because the Shu Han people in the official temple in Seoul had not left. He only stayed temporarily and did not want to care about those people, so he just found a place to save trouble. When King Qin's army first entered Luoyang, there was a period of
Qin Liang was the leader of the army, and he did not live in the residence of the general who led the army.
Qin Liang almost laughed out loud and said: "Jiang Wei wants to wait until there is a problem with the Wei Dynasty. I think Shu Han's problems are not small. This matter is definitely not Jiang Wei's own wish!"
Yang Hu's voice said: "Once Guancheng is abandoned, Yinping will no longer be defended. After our army enters Yinping County, we only need to send troops to the southeast to guard the Yinping Bridge and Baishui; the Hanzhong soldiers will guard Guancheng and the three areas.
The land of the county is safe."
Several people present agreed, and Zhong Hui said: "General, you can rest assured. From now on, it will not be easy for Shu Han to regain control of the three counties of Hanzhong."
Qin Liang secretly breathed a long sigh of relief, nodded and said: "Yes, at least in the short term, it is unlikely that another major incident will happen on the Western Front."
He suddenly remembered the business and said: "It happened that Shizai had just set out not long ago, and he might have just arrived in Wuxing. Taiyong immediately arranged for a messenger to call Deng Shizai back. There is no need to take a detour from Wudu County to Yinping. Over there
The road is long and dangerous, so it would be faster for Chen Xuanbo's people to go to Yinping via Guancheng."
Xin Chang bowed his head and said, "Here."
At this time, there was a burst of voices in the courtyard outside, and Qin Liang heard Wang Kang's voice: "General Wei is busy with everything and is discussing military affairs. I am General Wei Sima. If you have anything to do, please tell me."
Qin Liang was in a very good mood today. When he heard the commotion, he wanted to go out and take a look. But after Wang Kang said this, he gave up the idea and only looked towards the yard from behind the window.
The weather is quite good. The old and simple houses surround the courtyard in the middle. The edge of the courtyard is still a little damp, but the sun has slanted into the courtyard from above. The scenery in the middle is light and dark, which makes it feel a bit fresh.
Two people, a man and a woman, came to the courtyard. The man presented a scroll of bamboo slips, bowed and said: "The world has been suffering from wars for many years, and wars have led to the loss of life. However, General Qin entered Hanzhong and did not want to kill. Wherever he went, there were many people.
Autumn has no fault. The general's benevolence shines like a torch in troubled times. The servants and others specially send congratulatory messages to express their respect!"
Qin Liang was watching from behind the window. The officials in the room didn't say much for a while, so they heard what was said outside the door. Several people looked at Qin Liang, and Zhong Hui smiled and said: "This person is not talking nonsense."
But why was there a girl next to that man? Qin Liang couldn't help but take a look at her from a distance. The girl was good-looking, but not attractive.
Wang Kang's voice came from outside: "Please, let's go to the living room to talk."
The three of them walked towards the side of the yard and quickly disappeared from sight.
Wang Chen's voice in the room said: "The general does things with kindness, and the officials and people in Hanzhong also see it."
Qin Liang thought to himself: Most things are double-edged swords and must have side effects. It is rumored that Wei Taizu massacred Xuzhou and caused harm to this day. The hatred has not been eliminated for decades.
Moreover, according to the rational summary of later war theories, burning, killing and looting by soldiers is a very serious waste of resources. Compared with what is obtained, the vast majority of resources are destroyed during the looting process. Organized expropriation is the most efficient.
The highest method, and it is not likely to cause fierce resistance.
He then said: "It is impossible to be merciful on the battlefield, but killing civilians will do more harm than good."
At this moment, Qi Da walked into the door, bowed and said: "General Qin, the name of the man just now is Qi Yu. He is an official in the official temple in Hancheng, and his family is a local powerful. He said that he would send a congratulatory message to the general. My servant
So he brought him in."
Sure enough, the world pays more attention to people who can write articles, and Qi Da, a man from the military camp, is no exception.
But somehow, Qin Liang suddenly remembered the Shu soldiers in the Golden Valley to the east. The battle was over, but the people of the Golden Valley were still holding on! But that place has now become a dead place, an isolated city, and the defenders are too few to be of any use. He
He was too lazy to care and let Deng Ai figure out a solution on his own.
Qin Liang said: "I understand."
Qi Da came closer and said softly: "The girl who followed Qi Yu is his sister. She can stay in the mansion to serve the general."
People next to me pretended not to hear.
Qin Liang took two steps and pondered: "If the incident spreads, and the actions are effective, wouldn't it be more difficult to restrain the soldiers?"
Qi Da paid his respects and said, "What the general said is absolutely true."
Yang Hu's voice said: "The general is wise!"
Two days later, Deng Ai led his troops back to Seoul first, and the remaining troops were still at Mamingge Road. Qin Liang also began to make arrangements for defense and withdrawal in advance.
We only need to wait for Chen Tai to receive the exact news, march to Yinping County, and occupy Baishui and Yinping Qiaotou. Hanzhong is only for defense, so there is no need to retain hundreds of thousands of troops. The Chinese and foreign troops coming south from Yongliang's western front alone will
There are too many troops stationed, and too many men and horses will only increase the supply burden.
The Chinese army agreed that the 60,000 Luoyang army should withdraw first. Qin Liang was about to take the third battalion of the Chinese army back to the court. He also promised to rotate the remaining Yongliang soldiers in batches.
Deng Ai was appointed governor of Yongzhou, and he was responsible for guarding Hanzhong and taking charge of frontline military affairs. Then Qin Liang appointed Hu Fen to serve as prefect of Hanzhong County to assist Deng Ai.
Qin Liang nominally went on an expedition on behalf of the emperor and could authorize officials; however, the official appointment process had to go through the process and still had to wait for the imperial edict to be sent from Luoyang. Before that, the problem was not big, because Deng Ai was originally the governor of Liangzhou and Hu Fen was the governor of Longyou.
The county guards all have their own troops.
Longyou County and other places have always been the territory of the Wei State. They have a complete bureaucracy. It will not be affected if there is a temporary lack of county guards. There are also long history or county magistrates in charge. Only the newly acquired counties of Hanzhong, Wudu, and Yinping must be appointed as soon as possible.
In this way, the county governor can recruit subordinate officials and re-establish a unified organization in the local area so as to obtain the remaining resources locally.
Qin Liang first arranged for Hu Fen, the governor of Hanzhong County. In the evening, Qin Liang summoned Ma Long, the governor of the tent, at his house and asked him face to face: "Would Xiaoxing be willing to serve as the governor of Wudu County?"
Ma Long was immediately overjoyed and bowed excitedly: "General Qin's kindness in knowing and meeting him will be unforgettable!"
Qin Liang smiled and nodded: "Then it's decided."
Qin Liang himself came up from the vassal service, and of course he understood that being a prefect was a difficult hurdle for ordinary people to overcome...unless they were from a wealthy family.
Wudu County is not a good place, but the governor of Wudu County is also a prefect. If you reach this level first, you can change it later. Just like when Deng Ai was appointed as the governor of Liangzhou, Deng Ai was also very happy. In fact, Liangzhou had no population.
There are no taxes on the population, but the governor of Liangzhou still reaches the state level.
Ma Long was obviously not from a noble family. He was just a low-level military attache in Yanzhou at first. Linghuyu left Cao Shuang's office and became the governor of Yanzhou. When he first became the governor of Yanzhou, there were not many people around him, so he transferred Ma Long to work around him.
Now Qin Liang is gradually promoting Ma Long to the position of county guard. When Ma Long talks about the kindness of knowing someone, Qin Liang can still accept it calmly.
As for military merits, if no one in the court speaks, he still can't defeat the governor. When Qin Liang used 500 men to block Fei Yi's army in Qinchuan, and there were people in the court, he almost failed to defeat the governor of Lujiang.
The next morning Deng Ai took the initiative to visit him in the courtyard. Qin Liang asked Qi Da to make tea, and then they chatted with Deng Ai in the hall.
Deng Ai finally asked: "Yesterday... the general only appointed... Hanzhong County Governor, Wudu, Yinping... two counties, are there any candidates?"
Qin Liang said: "I met Ma Long yesterday evening and told him to let Ma Long be the prefect of Wudu County."
Deng Ai nodded and said: "Yinping, Ping...are the arrangements ready???????????????????"
Qin Liang could vaguely guess what Deng Ai meant, so he asked, "Is there anyone who can be recommended by Shi Zai?"
Deng Ai struggled to speak, but he said a lot: "My servant is Duan Zhuozhi Bing, who is well versed in civil and military affairs, and has led troops as the vanguard many times. To intercept the battle of the Nanzheng defenders, Duan Zhuo went to the north bank to mobilize troops, reinforced them in time, and captured several soldiers.
An enemy general. I wonder if he can be recommended as the governor of Yinping County?"
Qin Liang glanced at Deng Ai and said happily: "I will first appoint Duan Zhuo as the prefect of Xingyinping County. Shi Zai will then write down the military achievements and send them to the palace when I submit the letter."
Deng Ai stood up, bowed deeply, and stammered: "On behalf of Duan Zhuo, I would like to thank General Qin for his promotion. I will call Duan Zhuo here tomorrow and thank the general in person."
Qin Liang waved his hand and said with a smile: "He is from Shizai, and he relies on Shizai. Otherwise, I wouldn't even know him."
Deng Ai had just spoken too much at once and was probably a little tired, so he just nodded and sat back at the banquet.
Qin Liang poured two bowls of tea casually and handed one over. Deng Ai immediately caught it with both hands and took a sip of tea.
"Clang!" With a sound, Qin Liang, still wearing armor, held down the sword on his waist and got up from the banquet.
It was sunny again today, but the angle of light in the morning was different from yesterday's discussion. Qin Liang walked out of the room and walked straight to the sunny side of the patio. Deng Ai also followed. The two stood in the courtyard.
Basking in the sun, they chatted wordlessly. Perhaps because of Qin Liang's action of pressing the sword, Deng Ai glanced at his waist intentionally or unintentionally.
Qin Liang looked very relaxed and calm, but in fact he was very impetuous and his thoughts had already flown to Luoyang, thousands of miles away.
Even the topic of discussion betrayed his attention, "Shi Zai cannot leave Hanzhong for the time being. This is a farewell, and I don't know when we will meet again next time."
Deng Ai said: "My servant, I will often... send you letters." He then added, "General, let go, don't worry, I will... keep it safe. A good man will live up to the general's trust in the three counties."
Qin Liang nodded and said, "I can rest assured that Shi Zai will be in Hanzhong."
After he finished speaking, he took a deep breath and looked around. He saw only the houses in the mansion blocking all sides. He couldn't help but imagine that it wasn't just the houses that blocked this place.
