The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

It started, everyone's eyes lit up, and Chen Ziming began to comfort them by pointing out the benefits that Liu Bei could give them. However, although it is good to be an official in the court, it is not enough. They are all waiting for Chen Ziming's next words.

Chen Ziming smiled slightly, a group of old foxes, and then continued: "You and other family members, even if there are sages, they can govern one side and lead an army."

"Those who don't want to be officials can still live in one place, and they can also do business and start a family."

Chen Ziming's conditions made everyone's eyes bright. If this is the case, the strength of their family can still be preserved. You must know that there are many talents in their family. Now they are packaged by Liu Zhang and given to Liu Bei. It is not impossible to accept Liu Bei's rule.

"However." Chen Ziming's eyes sharpened, and he said seriously: "You should know that anyone who is an official in the Han Dynasty, officials above the county magistrate, is not allowed to stay in his original place, and the generals who command troops must listen to the dispatch of the military department."

"This......"

As soon as Chen Ziming's conditions came out, many clan chiefs were slightly moved. Their foundation is in the family, and they have become accustomed to controlling one side. According to Chen Ziming, this is to deprive them of control of the place, which is a bit unacceptable.

"You can rest assured that your family is safe, as long as you are loyal to the emperor, the army of the emperor can keep your family safe."

Chen Ziming showed a smile on his face. This opening changed the faces of the people below. They are all clan leaders, and they would not be able to hear the threats in Chen Ziming's mouth. Those who serve the emperor, the emperor's army will destroy their family.

They are powerful in Yizhou, but they also dominate the local area. Facing the division of tigers and wolves, they have no power to resist. They either obey or exterminate their clan.

Whether it is Liu Zhang, Cao Cao, Sun Quan, etc., there may be nothing to do with them. After all, local governance still requires their efforts, but Liu Bei is different. The Liu Bei Group has countless officials who govern the local area, and there is no need to rely on these old clans. .

Their only support has no effect on Liu Bei. If it is not for the rapid stability of the place, Liu Bei does not even need to negotiate conditions with them. This is Liu Bei's confidence.

5Chapter 16 益州防御

Threats and lures, plus Zhang Song's Zhang family and several families dragged into the water by Zhang Song betrayed the Yizhou clan interest group, other clans had no choice but to bow their heads, but Chen Ziming did not fight to the end. As long as these clans are obedient, don't When doing things, the safety of life and property can still be guaranteed.

"Second brother, there are many famous generals in Yizhou, so don't miss them. Especially Yan Yan and Zhang Ren are rare handsome talents. Second brother should take more care." Chen Ziming threw the reorganization of the Yizhou army to Guan Yu. It is professional.

And for the soldiers, they trust generals like Guan Yu more, and they have more common language. Guan Yu goes out, and it is better for the reorganization of the Yizhou army and the recruitment of generals.

After discussing with Guan Yu for a while, they probably decided on the reorganization of Yizhou soldiers and horses, and the two separated. During this trip to Yizhou, Chen Ziming was in charge and Guan Yu was in charge of the army. Yizhou affairs must be handled in the shortest possible time.

"teacher."

Zhuge Liang respectfully called Chen Ziming a teacher, which made Chen Ziming very pleased. With such a student like Niu Shisan, he would wake up with a smile in his dreams, but Chen Ziming didn't want to show it.

Looking at Zhuge Liang who was already as tall as him in front of him, he nodded slightly, patted Zhuge Liang's shoulder lightly, and said, "That's right, you and Shi Yuan are already qualified to be alone."

"The teacher taught well." Zhuge Liang bowed slightly to express his gratitude.

Chen Ziming waved his hand and said, "Don't come here. This is the result of your talents and personal efforts. Especially you, whether it is the battle of Hanzhong or the battle of Yizhou, you performed very well."

Chen Ziming chatted with Zhuge Liang for a while, and Chen Ziming said: "Yizhou is divided and occupied by us and Cao Cao. The bordering land is safe to defend. What do you think of Yizhou's defense?"

The fertile Chengdu Plain was divided into two by Liu Bei and Cao Cao. There was no danger to defend the entire plain. It was too difficult to defend, and it was almost impossible to completely isolate the enemy.

"Rely on the city to stick to the Quartet, send out rangers to patrol everywhere, and the dark guards will closely monitor the mobilization of Cao's army. The army is behind, waiting for the opportunity to move." Zhuge Liang quickly came up with a defense plan.

After hearing this, Chen Ziming nodded slightly and said, "That's right, connect with one point, monitor the overall situation, and stop with silence."

"Where is the best place to defend Yizhou?" Yizhou must not all fall into Cao Cao's hands, especially the dangerous passes in the north. Once all the dangerous passes in the north fall into Cao Cao's hands, it will be ten times more difficult for Liu Bei to completely eliminate Cao Cao.

The southern part of Yizhou is occupied by Cao Cao, so it is of little use. After all, Liu Bei can attack Cao Cao from the north at any time, but consumes countless Cao Cao's troops, so the defense of Yizhou's north must not be taken lightly.

After hearing what Chen Ziming said, Zhuge Liang said firmly, "Hanzhong."

"It seems that you have a lot of experience in Yizhou's defense." Chen Ziming was very satisfied with Zhuge Liang's answer. Now that the Chengdu Plain is divided between Cao Cao and Liu Bei, it can be said that Yizhou's defense system will be completely broken.

However, the dangerous pass in the north of Yizhou is firmly in the hands of Liu Bei. It is almost impossible for Cao Cao to capture the entire Yizhou, but Hanzhong is the weakness of Yizhou. Once Hanzhong is captured by Cao Cao, Cao Cao can cut off Yizhou and Liangzhou The connection of the Yizhou northern checkpoint is isolated.

It is almost impossible to defend the isolated checkpoints. Just cutting off the food and grass in the checkpoints can make those dangerous checkpoints self-defeating.

If this is the case, it is almost impossible to defend the northern part of Yizhou, so if Cao Cao wants to capture the northern part of Yizhou, then Hanzhong must bear the brunt of it. With Zhuge Liang's talent, he can see this, which is not what Chen Ziming expected.

"Guarding Yizhou, who can take on this important task?" Chen Ziming asked again, but this was not to test Zhuge Liang, but to ask Zhuge Liang's opinion sincerely, Zhuge Liang's talent opinion was confirmed, and the situation in Yizhou, Zhuge Liang was much clearer than Chen Ziming many.

After hearing Chen Ziming's question, Zhuge Liang thought for a while, and then said: "The one who can defend Yizhou is General Huang Zhong, and the one who can defend Hanzhong is General Qu Yi."

"How many soldiers and horses?" Chen Ziming asked Zhuge Liang again.

Zhuge Liang seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and immediately said: "If there is no big war, [-] in Yizhou and [-] in Hanzhong will be sufficient."

Chen Ziming was taken aback for a moment, and then asked: "If Cao's army invades in a large scale, how many troops will be needed to protect Yizhou without worries?"

Zhuge Liang thought for a while, and then said: "If Cao's army invades aggressively, the defenders of Yizhou should abandon the flat land and retreat to the northern pass, and defend according to the danger. Although the land of Hanzhong is dangerous, it must be done. If the enemy is broken, we should increase our troops according to the number of enemy troops, so as to keep Hanzhong safe."

After Chen Ziming heard this, he nodded in satisfaction and said: "The military department is preparing to reform the military again, and it is just to take this opportunity to divide the Huangzhong Army into two, with [-] guarding Yizhou and [-] guarding Hanzhong. Hanzhong is of great importance. You should go to Hanzhong and General Quyi defend Hanzhong together."

Zhuge Liang knows Yizhou and the Han people well, and he is the best candidate to guard Hanzhong and Yizhou. The military reform has already been put on the agenda. When the situation in Yizhou settles down and the political reform is completed, the military reform will begin. It doesn’t hurt to tell Zhuge Liang .

"Hanzhong still needs someone to help it. Do you have someone to choose?" Hanzhong has Qu Yi leading the army, Zhuge Liang is planning, and Liangzhou is helping. It should be no problem, but Yizhou can't rely on Huang Zhong alone. A capable strategist.

Zhuge Liang hesitated slightly, and then said: "A few days ago, I met a man by chance and talked about it in detail. He is quite talented and can take on this important task."

"Oh?" When Chen Ziming heard this, he immediately became interested. You must know that Zhuge Liang's vision is very high, and it is not ordinary talent that can make Zhuge Liang evaluate so highly, so he immediately asked: "Who is so in your eyes? "

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly and said: "The grandson of the famous scholar Fazheng, named Fazheng, styled Xiaozhi, has good friends with Zhang Song and Meng Da. He has contributed a lot to the plan for Yizhou this time. He conspired to let Zhang Song transfer the guards at the northern pass Going to Wenshan, convincing Meng Da to join the Great Han, and getting Zhang Song to persuade Liu Zhang to sacrifice the city and surrender, the contribution is indispensable."

"It's him." Hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Chen Ziming was slightly taken aback. He should have thought that although Yizhou has a large number of talents, the only one who might fall into Zhuge Liang's eyes is Fazheng, a top counselor.

Fazheng is a talent, and it is enough to assist Huang Zhong in guarding Yizhou, but Fazheng was born in the Yizhou clan and represents the interests of the Yizhou clan. Letting him stay in Yizhou may not be good for Liu Bei's control of Yizhou. Chen Ziming is a bit embarrassed, but A more suitable candidate than Fazheng could not be found.

"I'll make a decision after I meet this person." Chen Ziming didn't rush to make a decision. The defense of Yizhou is very important. Once Liu Bei attacks Cao Cao in an all-round way in the future, Yizhou will definitely send troops. There is no problem with Fa Zheng's ability, but it must be enough Loyalty will do.

5Chapter 17 落幕

The compromise of the Yizhou clan allowed the Yizhou Diguang government to be established smoothly and started working. powerless.

And they also get some benefits, for example, their children can participate in the selection of officials, and if they are outstanding, they can even make an exception for promotion, so they don't have to start from a small official.

Although it is much worse than the benefits obtained by the big clans, at least not. The advantages of the big clans are obvious. They can directly enter the court as officials. A status symbol.

Digesting half of Yizhou is no pressure for the current Liu Bei Group. All the officials transferred to Yizhou this time are from humble backgrounds and have outstanding abilities, especially those who have experience in dealing with local clans. Chen Ziming was not worried at all about whether they could gain a firm foothold in Yizhou.

As for the soldiers and horses in Yizhou, no one dared not to follow Guan Yu, and Chen Ziming took a large amount of money from the Yizhou treasury to give to the soldiers who were sent back to their hometowns, and at the same time brainwashed them to make them forget Liu Zhang as the emperor as soon as possible. .

More than 5 Yizhou soldiers and horses were selected from the best, and finally [-] elites were left, all of whom were strong and capable of recruiting good fighters. The army will become a great main force.

When Chen Ziming gained a firm foothold in Yizhou, the political reform of the Liu Bei Group had been completed, with the separation of powers and duties, the establishment of a sound administrative system, and increased monitoring of all aspects. It can be said that the administrative structure of the Liu Bei Group has now been completely optimized and transformed. .

There will no longer be power, a single family, and hereditary official positions.

The local government has also been restructured, and various departments have been established to perform their duties and supervise each other. It is impossible for a county magistrate and a county guard to hold military and political power and be the emperor of one side.

However, it is worth mentioning that this political reform has violated the interests of too many people, especially the interests of clans, and it has almost been swept to the bottom. If many clans do not change their development paths in time, it is foreseeable that they will completely disappear in the near future.

For those clans, there are no privileges, no official positions, and they are no different from ordinary people except for more assets in their hands. Now they don't even have to deal with their maids casually, otherwise they will face lawsuits.
