The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

It can be said that Liu Zheng did not treat them badly.

However, when people get older, they will be somewhat nostalgic.

In recent years, due to the gradual expansion of the territory, Liu Zheng has not seen those old friends for a long time.

Taking advantage of the new year now, Liu Zheng moved out a batch of Sanliangye that he had collected in the past two years.

Have a good time with these brothers.

If it is really impossible to be there, he will send someone to deliver a few altars of fine wine.

Let the soldiers deliver it to them in person, and let them feel Liu Zheng's love for them.

At Liu Zheng's current level, simply rewarding these generals and counselors under him with money can no longer satisfy their hearts.

After all, many people are no longer short of money.

There are some people who have a rich family background and don't value money very much. What they value is status.

As for the status, Liu Zheng has already given them, all of them are leaders in Liu Zheng's army, and the first group of people who followed Liu Zheng were either major generals, senior colonels, or colonels.

After the end of the new year, in order to encourage the morale of the army, Liu Zheng will inevitably select a few people and promote their ranks to lieutenant generals.Then they were stationed in different places to guard one side on behalf of Liu Zheng.

Of course, before that, Liu Zheng wanted to catch up with them first and stabilize his relationship with them.

If neither money nor status can play a very effective role, the only thing that can win them over is the use of friendship.

A pot of Sanliangye that you can't drink anywhere else, and a few words of Liu Zheng's concern for him.

This moved them even more than Liu Zheng rewarding them with some gold, silver and jewelry directly.

They will also cherish the friendship with Liu Zheng even more, after all, they have come together for so many years.Everything they have now is given to them by Liu Zheng.

This can also be regarded as Liu Zheng, who brewed enough Sanliangye in the past two years.

Otherwise, he would send too many people, and it might not be possible to have so much wine to send.

A large banquet was held in Jianye City to entertain officials of all sizes who stayed in the capital.

These three days.He made festivals for people all over the country.Let those people rest and rejoice at the same time.

That's good, give these officials under him a time to rest.

After all, they have been busy for a whole year, and it is time to take a good rest.

For those who were not able to be present, Liu Zheng could only ask someone to send him a blessing and some small gifts.

The remaining days.Liu Zheng didn't get close to these officials, big and small, but planned to spend a good time with his family.

After all, he now has many concubines in the harem.It takes a long time to spend a day alone.

If he hadn't learned Hua Tuo's Wu Qin Xi recently, he felt that his body seemed to be getting better, and he would really feel a little tired and unable to do what he wanted.

The calm time always passes quickly, after a heavy snowfall.

The time has officially entered March 184.

On the occasion of spring.

After the battle last year, Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses lost a lot.

Last winter, on the one hand, he appeased those soldiers who died in battle, and the family members gave them great compensation, and on the other hand, he began to recruit troops from various places.

The soldiers and horses lost in the Hanzhong area must be dispatched to guard immediately.

Although some of Sun Jian's troops stationed in Jingzhou came to support him, Hanzhong has always been a thorn in Liu Zheng's throat. If he can't get rid of it, he can only send a large army to guard Shangyong to prevent the Hanzhong area. The soldiers and horses will suddenly come to his hinterland.

Naturally, part of the recruited soldiers and horses were dispatched from the Yangzhou area, and the other part was formed by Liu Chong's soldiers and horses from Yuzhou to form a new army.

Last winter, I started to work on conscription and trained for almost three months.At the beginning of spring now, it is time for them to go to Shangyong to replace Sun Jian's army.

Although there are only 3 newly recruited soldiers and horses, and they are all recruits, there are still some soldiers and horses of Huang Zhong in Shangyong.

If they are mixed together, there is not much problem.After all, after they reach Shangyong, there will be no war immediately.You can also be in charge of training in the Shangyong area. After a year or two of experience, you can go to the battlefield to fight.

Liu Zheng made Chen Deng responsible for the conscription.

Chen Deng completed it beautifully. At the beginning of spring, the 3 recruited had already rushed to Shangyong.

They will arrive at Shangyong in at least two months, which can help Gan Ning and Huang Zhong guard Shangyong and prevent the invasion of soldiers and horses in the Hanzhong area.

After finishing this matter, Liu Zheng began to think about raising the ranks of these generals under his command.

Now Liu Zheng has too many places under his jurisdiction, and the territory is vast, which cannot be managed by him alone. Several generals are needed to guard the border areas.

As far as Liu Zheng is concerned, Jizhou, Qingzhou, and Xuzhou in the north belong to the northern military region and need a lieutenant general to take charge.

Jingzhou, Yuzhou, and a small part of Hanzhong also need a lieutenant general to manage.

There are also Yangzhou and Jiaozhou.

One place in Funan.

One place in Kyushu Island.

The defense span of these five military regions is too large. If Liu Zheng manages it himself, he may not be able to manage all the affairs of this place in a timely manner.

For example, sometimes, some military situations are urgent, if there is not a strong enough commander to guard them.

When the news was sent back to Liu Zheng in Yangzhou, it was too late.

Chapter One Thousand and Seventeen

What's more, now Liu Zheng's subordinates have absorbed more soldiers and horses.

There were as many as four or five new legions that were formed later.

So it's time to make a distinction and plan to become a war zone, which is more convenient to manage.

As for the choice of each person in charge of the war zone, Liu Zheng also discussed with Guo Jia and others during this period of time.

In the Jingzhou war zone, the selected people naturally don't need to think too much.

That must be Huang Zhong. After all, Huang Zhong's status is incomparable in Liu Zheng's army. He can definitely be said to be a transcendent existence. Only Xu Huang can compare with Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong served as the lieutenant general of the Jingzhou theater in the west, commanding the three major generals Gan Ning, Liu Chong, and Sun Jian.

At the same time, it is responsible for the defense, from the soldiers and horses in Hanzhong, Yanzhou, and Gyeonggi.

In this regard, Liu Zheng is still at ease, not only for Huang Zhong, but also for the other generals under his command.

In addition to being assisted by these three major generals, Liu Zheng also sent Lu Su, a young counselor, to serve as Huang Zhong's military adviser here, in case Huang Zhong encountered problems, he could find someone to discuss with.

The duty of a counselor is not only to share some cumbersome things with the marshal, but also to give the marshal some good suggestions, and to assist each other, there will be good results.

In Jizhou, Qingzhou, and Xuzhou in the north, the selected lieutenant general was naturally Xu Huang.

Most of the enemies that soldiers and horses in the northern theater had to face were cavalry, so it was better for Xu Huang to be the commander of this legion.

After all, Tai Shici, Zang Ba, Guan Hai and others are not qualified enough.

In addition, if in the northern theater, there are still Zhang He, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu who traveled between Xuzhou and Yangzhou, and others are stationed.

Liu Zheng is not worried about the defense in the north.

After all, just to deal with the soldiers and horses of the nomads in the north, Liu Zheng deployed a heavy army. Zang Ba and Guan Hai in Qingzhou had 3 to 2 people, and Tai Shici had [-] people.

There are also Xu Huang's 2 people, and Sun Ce's 2 people. When calculated, they are close to [-] troops.

It is enough to make Liu Zheng not afraid of the soldiers and horses in the north.

The Yangzhou and Jiaozhou areas in the south are actually the least dangerous. After all, this is the place where Liu Zheng has occupied the longest and has the most sense of belonging to Liu Zheng's rule. They support Liu Zheng's rule and hardly need Liu Zheng to dispatch them. Soldiers and horses are stationed.

Of course, Liu Zheng will still station hired soldiers and horses in these two places to defend the capital, and at the same time, he can support the second echelon in the west and north in a short period of time.

It's just that the lieutenant generals are selected by hand, and Liu Zheng still gave Lu Bu the mascot.

Regardless of the fact that Lu Bu is under Liu Zheng's command, there are actually not many soldiers and horses. Those who can really be ruled by him are those who are trapped in the camp.

But Lu Bu's status has always been raised very high by Liu Zheng.

The main reason is that Liu Zheng is very familiar with Lu Bu, and when he ignored Lu Bu, Liu Zheng also worried that he would become Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan in history.

For people like Lu Bu, you can't trust too much, nor can you be too alienated.

It is necessary to give him a goal to motivate him, but not make the goal too big, so that Lu Bu can be satisfied by hanging him like this.

Anyway, it was just to give Lu Bu a status improvement, which made Lu Bu feel that Liu Zheng treated him well and praised him very well. This is the treatment that Lu Bu could not get in other places.

But in order to guard against Lu Bu, Liu Zheng still will not give him a large number of soldiers and horses to command, and still only have some soldiers who are trapped in the camp.

Moreover, in the current camp, although it is obvious that it belongs to Lu Bu, Gao Shun is actually in command. Liu Zheng is also quite wooing Gao Shun. His care is not lacking at all.

When it came time for Lu Bu to rebel, Gao Shun might not follow Lu Bu blindly.

What's more, most of the soldiers trapped in the camp are students in Liu Zheng's school, and there are also elites selected from various military camps. They are all loyal to Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng didn't quite believe that they would follow Lu Bu to make an unwise move.

It is no problem to let Lu Bu be the lieutenant general near the capital.

As for the Funan area, Liu Zheng directly gave this right to Zhou Cang.

Zhou Cang worked hard and was also one of the earliest veterans who followed Liu Zheng, so he has this qualification and ability.

However, Zhou Cang was only responsible for military power, and Liu Zheng was still handed over to Cao Cao for the management of the Funan area.

Cao Cao is also a thorn in Liu Zheng's heart.

Liu Zheng loves his talent, but knows that Cao Cao is not a person who can sincerely rely on him.

Cao Cao is also ambitious.

A person who can be called a hero in troubled times and a capable minister in order to rule the world.

Liu Zheng doesn't think he can tame Cao Cao now.

At least for now, the world is still in a situation where two heroes are fighting for hegemony.Liu Zheng was not sure that he could fully trust Cao Cao.

Even if he wants to reuse Cao Cao, it will definitely be after he unifies the world.

Now that the country has not been fully unified, he will still only place Cao Cao in remote areas to hone his character and examine his talents.

In this case, even if Cao Cao had ambitions and ideas, even if he really rebelled, he would not be able to move Liu Zheng's muscles.

In terms of rebellion, the matter is not serious to Liu Zheng.

At the same time, Funan is too backward. It is a good choice for Cao Cao to tame the local people.

Give him a few years, maybe he can really make the Funan area reborn and take on a new look.

In addition to Funan, another place is Kyushu Island.

Kyushu Island is actually more desolate than Funan.

Although there are many aborigines on this island, the level of enlightenment of these aborigines is not even comparable to that of Funan.

Even Liu Zheng looked down on him, but as a transit station in the open sea, this place has great strategic significance.

So Liu Zheng still wants to take this place as his own, as a part of his huge empire.

Naturally, the people guarding here couldn't be careless. After hesitating again and again, he still decided to select Zhou Tai as the lieutenant general.

After all, although Zu Lang and Jiang Qin have some force, they are not calm enough, and they are easy to fall for.

It is not suitable to be a leader of one party, but more suitable to be a general.

With Zhou Tai as the commander in chief, I believe that the war on Kyushu Island should also become better.

In this way, Lu Bu, Huang Zhong, Xu Huang, Zhou Cang, Zhou Tai.

Five people became Liu Zheng's Five Tiger Lieutenant Generals!

When Liu Zheng issued this order, it naturally aroused their joy.

After all, being promoted to an official position is also a recognition of strength.

In addition to the canonization of the new five tiger lieutenant generals, this time Liu Zheng also promoted many new major generals.

Chapter One Thousand and Eighteen

Those who were promoted include Le Jin and Li Dian, who joined Liu Zheng some time ago.

The two of them can be said to be the first batch of surrendered generals who took refuge in Liu Zheng.
