Chapter 420 Focus on Training
"Gao Yan, I now canonize you as the captain of the Guanghan vassal state, and immediately go to the Guanghan vassal state to take over Lei Tie's position and the soldiers in his hands, and let Lei Tie return to Mianzhu quickly!"
Gao Yan didn't have any objection to the release, and immediately surrendered.
"The general obeys orders!"
After Liu Zhang thought it over, he still decided to let Lei Tie stay by his side, so that the Lei family in Guanghan vassal state would be more stable.
If Lei Tie were to be stationed in the Guanghan vassal state, something would inevitably happen over time.
Almost all the generals around him have been arranged, and Liu Zhang still needs to arrange the defense of Hanzhong. Today, only Yang Lin's 6,000 county soldiers and 1,000 cavalry battalions are stationed in Hanzhong.
However, there will not be any war in Hanzhong in a short time, and Liu Zhang is not too anxious.
"Gongda, order Guoyuan to ask Xia Houlan to recruit 5,000 soldiers in Hanzhong to deal with emergencies."
"Obey!"
The troops and horses at the moment, and the defense of the three counties are all properly arranged, and Liu Zhang's confidence suddenly strengthened.
"Generals, hurry up and train your troops! Half a year later, we will attack Berkshire!"
Hearing this news, the generals' eyes obviously flashed with excitement. Only war can face the meaning and value of their existence!
However, upon hearing the news that Liu Zhang was preparing to attack Berkshire, some civil servants were obviously suspicious.
There are many mountains in Bajun, Liu Zhang wanted to attack Bajun, he had to attack Bazhong from Hanzhong along the Micang Road, or attack Langzhong from Jiameng Pass along the Jialing River.
This is obviously a thankless act, far less enjoyable than directly attacking Luocheng, and then going straight into Shu County!
But no one is willing to stand up and touch Liu Zhang's bad luck. After all, they don't need to worry about the conquest.
"Everyone, the end of the new year is approaching soon, so I wish you all a happy new year in advance!"
All the civil and military people were slightly taken aback, it was the first time they heard the word Happy New Year!
But it doesn't matter, they knew it was a good word just from the literal meaning, and they all bowed their hands to express their gratitude to Liu Zhang.
"Thank you, my lord!"
"Okay! Don't drive, military adviser general, Master Qin, Wang Changshi stay here for a while, by the way, and Zhang Ren also stay for a while, the others leave."
Liu Zhang disbanded the council, and the other civil and military personnel did not stay for no reason and left one after another.
Soon Liu Zhang and several others were left in the house.
"Zhang Ren, do you know what I mean by asking you to go to Wuwei Camp?"
When the civil and military officials are all around, Liu Zhang can't say a lot of things, and he has to try his best to make a bowl of water even.
In fact, it is difficult to level a bowl of water, and it is also difficult for Liu Zhang to do so. He will definitely favor some people, such as Zhang Ren!
"I don't know the end of the day, please let the lord make it clear!"
Liu Zhang smiled, and did not blame Zhang Ren, but rather appreciated his straightforwardness.
"Dian Wei, you should know that he is my personal bodyguard. The original intention of forming the Wuwei Battalion was also on the basis of personal guards. However, due to the needs of combat, the Wuwei Battalion has gradually become an elite infantry. Therefore, I am reluctant to let this A group of elite soldiers have been serving as personal guards by my side."
"The expansion of the Wuwei Battalion this time is actually to accelerate the transformation of the nature of the Wuwei Battalion, so that the Wuwei Battalion can be completely transformed into an elite infantry regiment, so that it can fight against the enemy in the future."
Zhang Ren couldn't understand Liu Zhang's meaning at all, but he still nodded his head half-understood.
"My lord wants to..."
"Okay, don't guess, Dian Wei will definitely stay by my side all the time, and all matters concerning the Wuwei Camp must be in your hands! So, do you understand?"
Zhang Ren's eyes widened, he was already speechless in surprise!
He is not a fool, how could he not understand what Liu Zhang meant! This is leaving the Wuwei camp to Zhang Ren!
"My lord, I..."
Zhang Rang wanted to say something, but he couldn't repay Liu Zhang's kindness with words!
"Okay, I know you are not good at words, and I don't need to be a bombast! As for what I want, do you know?"
Zhang Ren nodded heavily and knelt down on the ground.
"The lord is so kind, Zhang Ren is in danger of dying! We can only do our best to live up to the lord's trust!"
Liu Zhang gently helped Zhang Ren up, and he firmly believed in his heart that the Wuwei Camp in Zhang Ren's hands would surely shine brightly to the world!
"Go."
It's meaningless to say more, Liu Zhang has already seen the firmness in Zhang Ren's eyes.
After Zhang Ren left, Wang Shang couldn't help sighing.
"Zhang Ren is really lucky to meet such a bright master as the lord!"
Liu Zhang didn't say anything about this, just nodded slightly.
"Hehe, Zhang Ren is a thousand-mile horse, and I am the Bole who discovered the thousand-mile horse!"
The four of Jia Xu bowed down together and praised Liu Zhang with one voice.
"My lord is wise!"
"Okay, there's no need to say flattery, I'm staying with you to discuss a few things with you."
Liu Zhang also likes to hear compliments, but he will not be so bored as to leave a few people here to praise him.
"Please tell the Lord."
"Sit down first, let's talk slowly."
Liu Zhang took the lead to sit on the main seat, waved his hand casually, and arranged for the four of them to sit down.
"Wenhe, let's talk about our current situation first, population, land, food situation."
Jia Xu, as Yizhou Biejia, must know everything about Yizhou like the back of his hand, and Liu Zhang will give priority to asking him about Yizhou's problems in the future.
"My lord, right now we control three counties and nineteen cities in Yizhou, of which Hanzhong County has a population of 650,000, Guanghan County has a population of 160,000, and Guanghan County has a population of 370,000."
"Because Zhang Lu fled in a hurry, the food, grass and equipment were not transferred in time, and all these materials were used by us!"
"Occupying Fu County and Mianzhu this time, we obtained countless food, grass and supplies, and the food exceeded a million stones!"
During this period of time, he has been busy with the situation in the counties of Guanghan County. Liu Zhang has no scruples at all. Now he was a little shocked when he heard Jia Xu's report, especially about the grain reserves.
Before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Guanghan County only had a population of more than 500,000. After several years of war, it has dropped to 370,000! How can there be such a large grain production capacity?
"Wen Biao, does Guanghan County have such a large grain production capacity? How can there be so much grain?"
Regarding the situation in Guanghan County, Liu Zhang asked Wang Shang who had been staying in Mianzhu.
"My lord, as far as I know, Zhang Lu just borrowed 500,000 shi from Shu County in order to attack the lord. As for the other food and grass, it should have been brought by Jia Long and the others last time."
Wang Shang is not counted as a core member of Zhang Lu, and he only knows a rough idea about these.
Liu Zhang nodded. If it was sent by Jia Long, then there is nothing strange about it.
As the county with the largest population and plain area in Yizhou, Shu County has been known as the land of abundance since ancient times. It is really nothing for Shu County to provide a million shi of grain.
"At present, we have more and more cities, and the territory is getting bigger and bigger. Whether it is the State Shepherd's Mansion or the General Wei's Mansion, we need more talents. Qin Zhubo and Wang Changshi, both of you are from Yizhou. People from the big clan, can you introduce some talents to me?"
