After getting off the ship at Jixian Wharf, they spent half a day unloading, loading, counting people and delivering troops.

During this period, we have to deal with etiquette exchanges between the provincial governor and the officials at all levels, formally rewarding merits and taking the workplace procedures.

The busiest one is not them, but the merchant fleet of Mi family. After unloading a full nine thousand people, hundreds of sailors in the fleet also had to load more than a thousand Wuhuan horses, other goods to be purchased in the north, and the return supply supplies, which could be all night long.

However, the Mi family also paid enough wages, and there were people working on them in 007.

It was not until late that night that Liu Bei and Zhang Fei and others had time to sit down and have a few good drinks with Li Su and Guan Yu.

When they sat down, their official identities were different from yesterday. After the afternoon of the commute, Liu Yu quickly adjusted the official positions of almost all of them, and Li Su suspected that the relevant appointment letters were prepared in advance.

I can only say that in Ji County, the efficiency of everything is high. The leader gave a few instructions and immediately cooperated with multiple departments, and all procedures were only carried out once.

Liu Bei, the county magistrate of Liangxiang, had remained unchanged in civil ranks of 600 Shishi, but he had just added the military rank of 1,000 Shishi.

Guan Yu, the governor of Zuoyamen of the military rank of 600 stones, belonged to the Zhuo County Commander, which is Liu Bei's "executive deputy military rank" (the military rank of the Han Dynasty is easier to accumulate than the number of civilian stones, but the actual power of civilian officials with the same number of stones is much greater)

Zhang Fei, together with Liu Bei, has accumulated some small contributions in a series of Yanshan defense battles in the past few months. He was promoted from a county magistrate of Liangxiang with a rank of 300 stones to a Sima of another department with a rank of 600 stones, and was also under the jurisdiction of Zhuo County. In other words, he was one less Yamen Supervisor than Guan Yu, so his salary was more than "compared".

Zhao Yun, when he first came to Zhuo County, was just Qujunhou, and now he replaced Zhang Feikong's vacancies, the three hundred stone county magistrate.

Zhou Tai was also Qu Junhou when he came.

But Li Suyou promised to give him the position of county lieutenant, and he brought a thousand fellow soldiers from Jiujiang. After Liu Yu reviewed it just afternoon, he felt that the more soldiers there were now, the better. The quality of the soldiers of Zhou Tai was barely reliable, so he chose another Fangcheng County, which had a vacant county lieutenant in Zhuo County, and gave Zhou Tai a real title.

In peacetime, Fangcheng County Magistrates must obey the jurisdiction of Fangcheng County Magistrates. But now in wartime, all counties in the entire county must obey the unified command of the county commander, so this does not affect Liu Bei's control of Zhou Tai.

In contrast, Dian Wei, whose military qualifications are not inferior to Zhou Tai, can only continue to be Qu Junhou, and Li Su personally gave him a salary of 300 stone to stabilize him. There is nothing he can do about this. Who can't let him not have the troops he has raised and enjoy the treatment of "bringing funds into the group"?

But this also has benefits. After Liu Bei knew the situation, he politely asked Dian Wei to follow Li Su directly, which was considered a private part.

It is reasonable for whoever pays the salary to work hard.

Finally, the two civil servants brought back by Li Su were officially awarded the Liangxiang County Magistrate with merits, with a rank of 300 stones.

The previous Longtao County Magistrate Qi Jing made another call.

Liu Ye was kept by Liu Yu himself as a scholar of Gongcao, with a rank of 300 stones, which was equivalent to a clerk around the provincial governor.

Only Li Su himself did not get an additional promotion, but just gave the actual teaching of the "Youzhou Bie Jia" he had "presented" before he went on the road, which was considered a formal training period for the internship.

However, the level of an official position cannot be only determined by the number of ranks and stones, but also by whether the authority is confidential.

Considering that the other party was often actually responsible for the diplomatic envoys of the provincial governor, it was not bad. From then on, Liu Yu had any strategy of joining forces, and most of them would ask Li Su to help him on missions. This was equivalent to Zhang Song's importance to Liu Zhang later.

...

After the brothers had a tour, Li Su and Guan Yu had the time to ask about the current military situation and what new emergency situations had happened in the past month when the news broke.

Liu Bei put down his wine glass and explained first: "That was more than 20 days ago - at that time, Liu Envoy was still on his way to take office, and Tao Qian and Bo Gui's senior brothers were also officially transferred from Youzhou by the court to Liangzhou with their troops.

In fact, the imperial court's order originally required them to set off in early May, so Tao Qian also took a step forward. But Brother Bogui took several thousand to Liangzhou to change defenses, Wuhuan Tuqi, the Liaodong vassal state, who had been delaying and unwilling to leave his hometown.

Brother Bogui was very careful to comfort him, and almost let the leader of the Wuhuan people delay the trip at will. He set off from Liaodong at the end of April, but he walked for a month before reaching the junction of Liaoxi County and Youbeiping.

Unexpectedly, shortly after entering the Great Wall of Liaoxi, Qiu Liju suddenly led his troops to mutiny. Fortunately, Brother Bogui was always alert, but he was not injured. He led his personal soldiers to break through and rushed into Guanzi City to defend the city, but he was also besieged in the city and could not move. He calculated that he had been surrounded for more than half a month, and now he was unknown in the current situation.

Later, I heard that a traitor named Zhang Ju instigated him and colluded with Qiu Liju to provide defense information in various parts of western Liaoning, allowing Qiu Liju to pick the weakest opportunity to take action.

That Zhang Ju was originally the former governor of Taishan County - Alas, when we exposed Zhang Chun, another Zhang Ju appeared, who was also a high-ranking official at the prefecture level. He was so grateful to the country that he actually betrayed the court! He also led the Hu people into the pass! This Zhang Ju seemed to have contact with Zhang Chun, but he had not been exposed before!"

When Liu Bei said this, he was quite indignant, and with a little drunk, he angrily scolded the Zhang family traitors.

Guan Yu was already a little surprised when he heard this, but Li Su was a little mentally prepared.

Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju rebelled, and at this moment, they finally evolved into a complete body!

Li Su knew history, and this rebellion should have been initiated by the collusion between the two former prefects and foreigners.

However, when Li Su first traveled through time, he and Liu Bei were in Zhongshan and under Zhang Chun's hands, so they could only report Zhang Chun's first.

After Zhang Chun was forced to inadvertently initiated the incident in advance, Li Su once thought that history had been changed and the scale of the rebellion was at least half smaller than originally.

In addition, he had no reason to report Zhang Ju again, and secondly, he had no information about Zhang Ju, so he did not take risks-

When Li Su rose, Zhang Ju had already stepped down and was no longer the governor of Taishan County, and his whereabouts were unknown. Li Su could not pretend to be a charlatan to expose a person who was already missing and wanted to rebel, right?

Even if the Han Dynasty people would not slice Li Su and study it, no one believed him.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Ju was really resilient. He lurked among the Wuhuan people in Liaodong who had not yet rebelled, continued to prepare and provoke discord. Finally, two and a half months after his old accomplice Zhang Chun's uprising, the uprising was finally successful.

In ancient times, information transmission was slow, and a large-scale rebellion could only be launched at the same time unless Zhang Jiao agreed to "the year is in Jiazi" as agreed.

In fact, Zhang Jiao's rhythm was disrupted by the Tang and Zhou dynasties, and there was a time difference of one or two months in various places.

Therefore, Li Su's attack and disturbance against the Chunju Rebellion was at best equivalent to the disturbance of the Tang and Zhou dynasties on Zhang Jiao, and it could only be this level. Those who should be rebelled must be rebelled, but they only give the official army some time to curb and defeat them one by one, so that the harm of the rebellion was at least 30% to 40% weaker than the same period in history.

In addition, Wuhuan in Youzhou can always be roughly divided into two forces.

The west is Shanggu, mainly Yuyang County, called Shanggu Wuhuan. The imperial court mainly used the Wuhuan lieutenant stationed in Yuyang to intimidate him.

The east was in the vassal states of Liaodong and the western county of Liao, and the right Beiping was called the Wuhuan of Liaodong. The imperial court relied on the Liaodong vassal states of Liaodong to intimidate.

It is not surprising that they are not subordinate to each other and fight against rebellion. Zhang Chun had hooked up with the previous one at the beginning, and Zhang Ju now hooked up with the next one.

In addition, we have to condemn General He Jin: When the Western Wuhuan had already rebelled, He Jin still insisted on transferring the Dong Wuhuan, who had not yet rebelled, from Youzhou. This stupid decision was an important responsibility for the expansion of the rebellion in this life.

Because this is equivalent to igniting the last Mars of the powder barrel. Maybe Zhang Ju had been persuaded by Qiu Liju for a long time, but Qiu Liju was reluctant to make the final decision to pull the flag because he felt that "there is still hope to stay in his hometown without fighting."

He Jin's forced order to Gongsun Zan directly exploded the gunpowder barrel of this suspicion chain.

Of course, He Jin and Yuan Shao are not omniscient and omnipotent, and they also have their own difficulties. This is equivalent to the fact that there are gunpowder in both warehouses, and the West Cang has already caught fire and are being rescued. At this time, normal people will think of transferring the combustible materials from the East Cang to a safe place to avoid spreading.

But the Wuhuan people are not gunpowder without thoughts. They don’t move or blow it up, and they will blow it up as soon as they move it.

...

After figuring out why there was a second wave, and it was a larger rebellion, Guan Yu and Li Su were very eager to know the current military situation.

"Brother, what's the progress of the battle with the Wuhuan people now? Is there any problem with our guards on Yanshan?" Guan Yu asked anxiously.

Liu Bei sighed and shook his head: "There is no problem here in Yanshan. With Captain Zou and so many elite soldiers and generals, how could he be broken through? But the problem now is that it is useless to defend Yanshan-

Guanzi City in western Liaoning is located within the Great Wall. In other words, Qiu Liju has been with Brother Bo Gui and pretending to be very good. He suddenly attacked after his elite rush into the Great Wall. Now that the Great Wall in western Liaoning has been broken through, Yanshan is no longer important.

You are also lucky. On the way from the harem, you didn't run into Zhang Ju and Qiu Liju who were robbing south. Ten days before your arrival, Zhang Ju had already brought thousands of thrust cavalry and more entourages to rob the south along the coast.

I heard that he bypassed the county town and only plundered the countryside. Now he should have plundered the territory of Bohai County. Moreover, there are more and more enemy reinforcements. The Hu people saw that Zhang Ju was very fat, and even the Xianbei people joined in and worked with Zhang Ju. There were also some mixed Hus, which could not be distinguished for a while."

Li Su and Guan Yu brows were deeply locked when they heard this.

Li Su is not surprised at all, because as long as the nomadic peoples break through Yanshan and the Great Wall and enter the pass, they have very strong mobility on the Hebei Plain.

Just like the Yuan Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty broke through Song and Ming defenses, and it was not surprising that it hit Caogu after hitting Shandong.

Zhang Ju led the way for the Hu people, and bypassed the city and only cared for robbery. No wonder he was able to decay into Bohai County at once. Even if the imperial court had more troops than him, the Han army was not like the Hu people's cavalry, and had poor mobility and could not catch up if they wanted to encircle and suppress them in the field.

After Li Su thought about the current situation clearly, many messy and similar historical examples emerged in his mind, but he didn't know how to learn from them for the time being.

He calmed down and decided to ask again, maybe it would be inspiring: "Will the envoy have a strategy now? How do he plan to fight?"

Liu Bei touched his beard and sighed: "There is no conclusion yet. I think the envoy has not given up surrendering and comforting, so that some of these new people who have not long been rebelling will be brought back. However, since ancient times, seeking peace with weakness will not be able to be reconciled. If you want to surrender one of the enemy, you must at least have a big victory first to shock the rest.

Nowadays, the rebels gathered more and more under Guanzi City, Liaoxi County, but the Hu people could not build siege equipment, so even if there were ten times the number, they could not capture Brother Bo Gui's city for a while, so they chose to siege, trying to exhaust the food and grass in the city and let Brother Bo Gui's troops starve to death on their own.

However, if the troops around Jixian were to defeat the rebels in western Liaoning, they were still unable to catch them. The troops that Zhang Ju went south to plunder continued to transport food, grass and supplies, and used war to raise the war to continuously supply the army besieged in western Liaoning.
