Three Kingdoms Strong Army System

In Liangzhou, the highest official is Dong Zhuo, the governor of Liangzhou. Although Liangzhou is bitterly cold, its area is very vast.

As the saying goes, troublesome people come out of poor mountains and bad waters. Liangzhou has gone through several rebellions, and now even Dong Zhuo cannot control all counties.

When Dong Zhuo was in Liangzhou, there were two princes in Liangzhou, one was Han Sui and the other was Ma Teng.

The two ruled Liangzhou independently, and Dong Zhuo was able to suppress the two when Dong Zhuo was there. Now that Dong Zhuo has left with his troops, no one can restrain the two anymore.

However, Liangzhou is sparsely populated and the people's livelihood is poor. It is very difficult for the two to develop in a short period of time.

Cao Cao's coercive edict was also sent to Ma Teng and Han Sui.

Han Sui rebelled against the Han Dynasty twice, the first time he was coerced, and the second time he was the lord. Although the court pardoned his crimes twice, he still didn't want to have anything to do with the court, so there was no Feng Zhao.

On the contrary, it was Ma Teng. Although he was of Han and Qiang hybrid blood, the ancestor of the Ma family was General Fubo Ma Yuan, and the Ma family wanted to serve the court wholeheartedly.

As soon as the edict arrived, Ma Teng acted.

Ma Teng has three sons, the eldest son Ma Chao, the second son Matthew, and the third son Ma Tie. The three sons are all minors, but the eldest son Ma Chao is extraordinary in martial arts.

After discussing with his subordinates, Ma Teng decided to send troops to form an alliance to attack Dong Zhuo.

However, his territory is in Liangzhou, and it is impossible to rush to the Suanzao Daying Huimeng without bordering Shandong.

Therefore, Ma Teng and Han Sui negotiated to occupy Liangzhou counties and counties, remove all the forces that Dong Zhuo had left in Liangzhou, and then lead their troops eastward.

Han Sui had no interest in sending troops to attack Dong Zhuo, but he was interested in occupying counties.

The two hit it off and started recruiting soldiers and horses.

Liangzhou once again had few Han people, but the most indispensable thing was men who couldn't survive. When the two men issued a recruitment order, Han people and Hu people from all over the world responded one after another.

In a little more than a month, the two formed a team of thousands of people each. As time went by, they continued to attack the city and seize territory, controlling more and more territories, and their strength became stronger and stronger.

With the territory, there will be money and food, and they can support more troops.

After Liu Zhang captured Youfufeng, he did not continue to attack, but appeased the people and stabilized production.

It's just that Youfufeng has a large area and few people, and the people live in two places. Liu Zhang is weak and can only walk around Huaili County.

As for the other fourteen counties in Youfufeng, he did not go there in person.

Seeing that You Fufeng had stabilized, Liu Zhang planned to return the army to Chang'an.

It's just that You Fufeng needs someone to manage it.

After thinking about it, Liu Zhang felt that he didn't have anyone available under his command. It would be no problem for those literati to be county magistrates, but it was indeed a bit of a stretch to be a prefect of a county.

It's just that in the past year, although Liu Zhang has issued several recruitment orders, no one has responded.

After thinking about it, Liu Zhang had no choice but to call Liu Chang over.

He told Liu Chang what he thought, but Liu Chang kept pushing back with a bitter face.

He is a general of Liu Zhang's family. He was trained as a military general since he was a child, and he knows nothing about governing the country.

Liu Zhang could only appease him. There was a serious shortage of local talents under his command, so he could only use Liu Chang to sit in Huaili, and the remaining fourteen counties should maintain autonomy and pay taxes on time.

Liu Chang had no choice but to agree.

Liu Zhang captured Youfufeng and surrendered more than [-] soldiers.

These soldiers were all You Fufeng, Liu Zhang took some of them away, and then left some soldiers for Liu Chang, making up [-] soldiers to guard You Fufeng, and he returned to Chang'an with the rest of the army.

Returning to Chang'an City, Liu Zhang disbanded the army and ordered him to return to the barracks to rest, and then asked the master book to count the military achievements of each department and calculate the rewards.

After capturing Youfufeng, Liu Zhang also survived the money and food in Youfufeng's treasury.

Some of these money and food must be rewarded, otherwise the soldiers will not work so hard next time.

Back in the room, Liu Zhang fell asleep, and didn't get up until the sun burned his buttocks the next day.

Today, he controls two counties, with a population of 38 and an army of [-].

Among them, the school lieutenant Li Fang led 6000 people and guarded Tongguan; the school lieutenant Liu Chang led [-] people and guarded Youfufeng, and the remaining [-] people stayed in Jingzhaoyin.

Soon, the master book counted the military merits of each department, and after discussing the reward standard with Ji Cao, it was reported to Liu Zhang.

The reward standard this time is similar to the previous one, only slightly different.

Last time, there was only five baht in the reward, but this time there was land, because after Liu Zhang killed the county magistrate and the county lieutenant, he combined the power of Jingzhao and Yin in one body, and he could do whatever he wanted.

For any soldier, as long as he goes out this time, he will be rewarded with [-] yuan each, and if he beheads one person, he will be rewarded with another [-] yuan, and will be granted ten acres of land;

This is a bit similar to the pre-Qin military merit system, but it is very different.

The military merit system in the pre-Qin period was too strict, and Liu Zhang wanted to improve the military merit system, which was not as strict as in the pre-Qin period, but it could motivate soldiers.

In this way, the 660 soldiers who went on the expedition will need to be rewarded with [-] million yuan and [-] mu of arable land.

Fortunately, he copied the arable land of Juncheng and Junwei, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to produce so much arable land for a while.

When all the soldiers learned that Liu Zhang wanted to reward them, they were all ecstatic.

The soldiers who didn't go to battle last time, originally went to Youfufeng this time and worked very hard to attack the city several times, just wanting to get a reward, but they didn't expect to get it this time.

It seems that Liu Taishou is a trustworthy person.

The soldiers in Chang'an City couldn't help being more loyal to Liu Zhang.

Under Liu Zhang's high attention and personal auspices, the chief secretary and Ji Cao distributed all the rewards to the hands of the soldiers.

He supervised the whole process, and there was no deduction.

After returning to the prefect's mansion, he began to plan another thing, which was planning Zuo Fengyi.

Jing Zhaoyin, You Fufeng and Zuo Fengyi are collectively known as Chang'an Sanfu, which is the core area of ​​Guanzhong.

Among them, Jing Zhaoyin and You Fufeng are in the south of Jingshui and Weishui, and Zuo Fengyi is in the north of Weishui.

In the pre-Qin period, it was named Hexi Land because it was west of the Yellow River.

Here, Qin State and Wei State had wars for decades, and finally this place belonged to Qin State.

It can be seen that the importance of Zuo Fengyi.

If Guanzhong has Zuo Fengyi, it will be able to have the Yellow River, relying on the danger of the Yellow River, and guard the front line of defense in the Guanzhong.

If Zuo Fengyi is captured by others, then Tongguan can be threatened from the rear, and in this way, half of the role of Tongguan will be lost.

Therefore, Zuo Fengyi is to the Guanzhong area, which is equivalent to Hanzhong to Yizhou.

If you want to separate yourself from Guanzhong, you must occupy Zuo Fengyi.

Not only that, after occupying Zuo Fengyi, they must continue to go up and then occupy the southern part of Shangjun, so that they can be completely stable.

These [-] soldiers had just set off for more than a month, and they were exhausted physically and mentally. If they wanted to set off again, they would need a period of rest to go north to Zuo Fengyi.

However, it did not prevent Liu Zhang from planning in advance.
