The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Liu Bei did a great job, even clearing up all the foreigners around the Han Dynasty, without leaving any worries, and then it was Cao Cao and Sun Quan's turn.

Chapter 541 Arrival

The east gate of Chengdu City has long been surrounded by countless soldiers wearing armor and holding spears. Flags are fluttering on the tower, and there are three steps, one post and five steps, one sentry, looking at the slowly approaching team from a distance.

Below the city tower, apart from the densely packed soldiers, there were nearly a hundred young and old in brocade robes standing on both sides, separated by the soldiers, no one dared to move.

At this time, a group of cavalry came quickly. When they reached the city gate, they did not stop at all and went directly into the city. Then came a group of soldiers in armor, standing on both sides of the city gate, forming a group of people again. wall.

After this team of soldiers arrived, those old and young people in brocade robes dared not breathe, and did not dare to gaze at the slowly approaching team.

It can be seen that the soldiers who have just arrived are different from those who were there before. The armor worn by these soldiers is more refined, and each of them is tall and powerful, with a murderous look. At first glance, they are absolutely elite troops.

They were Liu Bei's imperial guards. They followed Chen Ziming and Guan Yu into Yizhou. After more than a month's journey, they finally arrived outside the gate of Chengdu.

Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Ma Chao, Pang De, Zhuge Liang, Meng Da and others standing in the front hurriedly stepped forward to salute when they saw the horse team coming.

Chen Ziming took the lead, followed by Guan Yu, who was in armor and holding the Qinglong Yanyue Saber, followed by an elite cavalry in full armor, and then thousands of elite imperial guards followed.

Seeing Zhao Yun and the others, Chen Ziming nodded slightly, motioning for Zhao Yun and the others to join the line, followed Chen Ziming into the city without much conversation.

Zhao Yun and others had already been notified by the messenger to prepare Chen Ziming's residence, a magnificent mansion just beside Liu Zhang's palace, from the city gate to this mansion, it had already been occupied by countless soldiers, and the common people were not allowed to approach it.

For Chen Ziming's safety, Zhao Yun and others even put the entire city of Chengdu under martial law. You must know that although Yizhou is now captured by Zhao Yun and others, Yizhou has been ruled by Liu Zhang for a long time, and they don't have any good feelings for Liu Bei and are very hostile.

Especially some big families did not welcome Liu Bei's entry into Yizhou very much, and Zhao Yun and others did not dare to relax in the slightest.

At this time, Chen Ziming's residence had been taken over by the imperial guards who followed, and the entire mansion had become a fortified barracks, surrounded by loyal and brave men carefully selected by Zhao Yun and others.

It can be said that this is the safest place in the city of Chengdu. Unless the army invades the city of Chengdu, Chen Ziming's safety will not be threatened at all.

After Chen Ziming arrived, he rested for a while, and then he and Guan Yu went to see Liu Zhang. Although Liu Zhang was Liu Bei's enemy, he was now a prisoner, but Liu Zhang was a relative of the Han family and had been an emperor after all, so the necessary etiquette should be followed of.

Today's Liu Zhang looks old and downcast, with a pale complexion, but Chen Ziming can tell that his diet is still good, at least he doesn't lose weight, and at least he is in good spirits.

"The emperor's uncle is at ease, the emperor has an edict, and the emperor's uncle is named the King of Anle, and the emperor's uncle's family will go to Linzi to enjoy the blessings with the emperor's uncle."

In addition to seeing Liu Zhang, Chen Ziming also brought Liu Bei's imperial edict, officially announcing Liu Zhang's disposition. At the same time, he also strengthened Liu Zhang's protection according to the wishes of Liu Zhang's former troops. Liu Zhang must not have any accidents, otherwise it will be difficult for Yizhou to settle down for a while. .

Then Chen Ziming and Guan Yu met Zhao Yun and other generals to understand the situation in Yizhou, announced Liu Bei's reward, and announced the arrangement for Yizhou.

"It seems that Cao Cao also wants a truce, which is exactly what I want."

When he learned that Cao Cao not only did not increase his troops in Yizhou, Chen Ziming smiled slightly. It is indeed not the time to fight Cao Cao to the death, nor is he capable of continuing to fight.One of the southern parts of Yizhou, it doesn't matter if Cao Cao takes it.

"Prime Minister, there are still tens of thousands of soldiers from Yizhou scattered all over the place. They should be resettled as soon as possible, otherwise accidents may happen."

Zhao Yun hastily informed Chen Ziming of the most urgent matter. Because Liu Zhang surrendered without a fight, more than [-] Yizhou soldiers and horses were surrendered by Liu Zhang's imperial edict, and stood by for orders.

During this period of time, Zhao Yun and the others were as big as a fight. They were more than [-] well-trained elites, and they had only [-] soldiers in Yizhou, and only [-] soldiers in Chengdu. Yizhou will be in danger if you don't obey Liu Zhang's order and attack with troops.

"Let Zhang Song and other members of the big clan who are sincere in their service take Liu Zhang's edict to appease the armies, and at the same time, in Liu Zhang's name, dismiss the old, weak, sick and disabled in the army, and then in the name of the emperor, resettle them and give them land and food. and money, send people to closely monitor all places, and no crowds are allowed."

"Leave the elite, up to [-], reorganize the army and reorganize the training. All generals are selected from our army. It turns out that all the generals of Yizhou soldiers and horses are concentrated, and the incompetent people are transferred to other places so that they can be monitored. If people are willing to serve the great Han, they will be sent to Linzi Military Academy for training, and then they will be used according to the situation."

"General Meng Da, the same is true for your soldiers and horses, but those left behind will be counted separately, and they can form an army of their own." Chen Ziming looked at Meng Da at the side, and smiled: "This time, Meng Da will attack Yizhou. For the first merit, the emperor ordered Meng Da to go to Linzi, and the emperor has another important role, Meng Da can be the commander of the first army of the Han Dynasty."

"... promise." Meng Da hesitated slightly after hearing Chen Ziming's words, but immediately accepted the order.The army of the Great Han is famous all over the world, and the commander of an army can be a prince of one side. One hundred thousand elite soldiers are not comparable to the soldiers and horses in his hands now.

It was also rare for Chen Ziming to appease Meng Da. Chen Ziming didn't have a good impression of this kind of villain who was always seeking glory. The most important thing was that Meng Da's ability was not in Chen Ziming's eyes.

But Meng Da did make a great contribution this time, and if Chen Ziming wanted to make Meng Da a banner, he would definitely not treat this great hero badly, the commander of the first army could not run away.

But leaving Yizhou and leaving his old team, even if Meng Da has a different heart in the future, there will be no trouble. You must know that the Liu Bei Group will soon carry out military reforms. The commander of the first army will command at most [-] soldiers. The powers of the coach will be greatly limited.

Moreover, on the surface, Meng Da was the commander of the first army, so he would definitely be ostracized in secret, and would not have the slightest control over the army. Chen Ziming's usual practice was to completely evade such ambitious, ambitious, and incompetent generals.

But as long as Meng Da can't change his mind, he can't escape the glory and wealth of his life. After all, his credit lies there. Because of Meng Da's contribution, not only Liu Bei easily captured Yizhou, but also saved the lives of countless soldiers.

"Where is the general of Yizhou?"

After dealing with the affairs of the ordinary soldiers, Chen Ziming set his sights on the generals of Yizhou. Yizhou is a good place with a large number of talents. If Liu Zhang was not too incompetent, he would never have fallen into such a situation.

There is no shortage of middle and low-level talents or top talents. Even in the era of the Three Kingdoms, talents in Yizhou still occupy a large share, especially a few top talents, which have made Chen Ziming envious for a long time.

542章 益州八族

The top talents in Yizhou, the generals should be Zhang Ren, followed by Yan Yan, followed by Wu Yi, Pang Xi, Deng Zhi, Wu Ban, Zhao Wei, Zhang Yi and other second-rate generals. You know, in the Three Kingdoms During the period, second-rate generals were the mainstream, and first-rate generals and top generals were a minority after all.

For example, in today's Liu Bei Group, there are only more than ten top generals and first-rate generals combined, but there are more than a hundred second-rate generals. They are the backbone of the Liu Bei Group. The second-rate general of the People's Army.

These generals in Yizhou are fully capable of forming two legions of 5 people, with talents from top to bottom.

As for the civil servants, Fazheng, the top counselor, should be the most important, and then a group of administrative talents, Huang Quan, Li Hui, Liu Ba, Wang Lei, Fei Shi, etc. are all famous ministers in Yizhou. It is enough to govern one side. These are history On Liu Bei's team, everyone is a minister of the DPRK and China.

"Most of the generals in Yizhou are in Chengdu. We transferred all the generals to Chengdu under Liu Zhang's order and separated them from the soldiers, just in case. However, the old general Yan Yan disarmed and left without listening to Liu Zhang's call. General Zhang Ren I have made up my mind to go, and I don’t want to serve the great man, most of the other generals have already expressed their willingness to serve the great man.”

As for the generals in Yizhou, Zhao Yun and others have already started recruiting and surrendering. Only by controlling these generals in Yizhou can the Yizhou surrendered army be kept without problems.

"Yan Yan, Zhang Ren?"

Hearing Zhao Yun's words, Chen Ziming frowned slightly. What he valued most were the two generals of Yizhou, whether it was Yan Yan or Zhang Ren, they were both very capable, and they had a very high prestige in the Yizhou army.

Especially Yan Yan, as a veteran of Yizhou, has a lot of old disciples, and he can completely respond to everyone. If he does not surrender to Liu Bei, it will definitely be a hidden danger.

As for Zhang Ren, he is completely foolish and loyal, but he is very capable. If Sun Quan, Xia Houyuan and others hadn't restrained Zhang Ren, it would not be so easy for Zhao Yun and others to capture Yizhou, and they might even end in failure.

"All the generals will be sent to Linzi, and they will be assigned to other places for investigation. Yan Yan and Zhang Ren will be ignored for the time being. After a while, I will handle it myself. However, the two must be closely monitored and must not leave your sight."

How could Chen Ziming let go of Yan Yan and Zhang Ren, two top talents, especially Zhang Ren, although it was difficult to recruit, but once recruited, loyalty would not be a big problem.

"Report to the prime minister, Zhang Song of Yizhou is seeking to see him outside."

When Chen Ziming and others were discussing the placement of Yizhou surrendered generals, the guards came to report and Zhang Song begged to see him.

"The stability of Yizhou still needs this person's contribution, please hurry up." For Zhang Song, Chen Ziming didn't like it very much, but with Zhang Song's credit, it was enough for him to enter the imperial court. It can even be said that Zhang Song planned it alone.

"Greetings, prime minister, greetings to all generals." Zhang Song is now full of smiles, high-spirited, and thinks that he is very talented. Once he is put into Liu Bei's account, with his ability, he will definitely be reused by Liu Bei, and he will soar into the sky.

"Mr. Ziqiao, you don't need to be too polite." Chen Ziming and others returned the courtesy. Unlike Meng Da, Zhang Song quietly joined Liu Bei a long time ago. Joining Liu Bei requires a lot of recognition from everyone.

"Mr. Ziqiao, Your Majesty has many concerns. He often tells us that Mr. Ziqiao is a great talent in the world. It is a pity that he cannot discuss world affairs with Mr. Ziqiao." Although Chen Ziming's words are a bit watery, Liu Bei is indeed very fond of Zhang Song. Important, although Zhang Song is arrogant, he is still capable. Once such a person approves of his master, he will serve his master wholeheartedly.

"I always miss Your Majesty, the farewell back then..." Every time Zhang Song recalled that he and Liu Bei had a good time drinking and sleeping together, he was very moved. A talented person like him hopes to be recognized and displayed I am very talented.

After chatting for a while, on behalf of Liu Bei, Chen Ziming brought Zhang Song into the Liu Bei Group. That is to say, from now on, Zhang Song is one of the top executives of the Liu Bei Group.

"There are many clans in Yizhou, and the government affairs of various places are controlled by the clans. The people respect the clans. If the clans oppose it, it will be difficult to enforce the government orders, and it will be difficult to break them." When it comes to the governance of Yizhou, Zhang Song actually prefers the clans After all, the Zhang family is a big family in Yizhou, one of the representatives of the clan.
