Chapter 172 The reason for not calling Guan Zhang temporarily
Chapter 172 The reason for not summoning Zhang for the time being
After the meeting with Liu Jian was over, Tian Feng said goodbye and left.
He needs to go back and communicate with the wealthy families in the four counties to determine whether the billions of dollars should be donated to Liu Jian by the families.
After Tian Feng left, only Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan were left in the main hall to accompany Liu Jian.
Zhao Yun raised his hand to Liu Jian and asked: "Your Majesty, we really don't understand that one billion in wealth is a huge amount. Will the Gaomen Commandery of Jizhou really give all this money to your Majesty to support the army?"
"hehe."
Liu Jian laughed when he heard this: "Of course I can't. If it were Zilong in his place, would Zilong give me a billion in wealth? Especially since the Yellow Turban, the losses suffered by Jizhou County Wanghaoyou are not small.
.”
Zhao Yun was quite puzzled and said: "Even if you know that the various families will not give it, why do you still make this request? If the various families don't give it, the bandits in Jizhou will not ask for it?"
Liu Jian shook his head and said: "Thieves must be punished. In the Taihang Mountains, there are some thieves who use the name of Tianmenbu Jianping. They gather people to do evil, kill people and destroy peace. Such thieves cannot be forgiven lightly."
"But among the thieves, there are also many refugees who do not want to be thieves. They are just harmed by the rich clothes and rich houses. They have lost their land and have no way to make a living. They have reached a dead end and have to return. The theory of heaven replenishing the balance is true.
These people also have a great influence.”
"In my opinion, although some people are rebellious, the fault is not theirs. They are excusable. Moreover, the people of our Han Dynasty really have very low requirements. The so-called balance of heaven and earth is not suitable for many people.
It's just a gimmick to survive in a desperate situation. It doesn't really matter whether you are average or not. What matters is that you can survive."
"Just like the dead leaves in autumn, after they all fall to the ground and survive the cold winter, new green shoots can grow in spring."
The soldiers and horses of the Youzhou Governor's Department, as well as the camps in border counties, as well as the soldiers and generals of the subordinate countries, can be said to be an extremely powerful military force.
As for Zhang Fei, he is currently the captain of Liyang Camp.
Liu Jian hoped that they could become all-rounders in both civil and military affairs.
Zhang Fei left Liyang Camp, Liyang Camp changed its commander, how could Liu Jian swallow them up in the future?
"Just imagine, even if we wipe out all the Black Mountain Army in one battle, as long as the number of gangsters in Hebei, Bing, You, and Yanzhou who have no food to eat continues to increase, there will be an endless stream of people pouring into Black Mountain."
In fact, there was no need for Liu Jian to tell Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan this.
Although there were no specific measures or plans, it sounded to them that Liu Jian was determined to turn chaos into peace.
"Yes, in addition to using force, try to cut off and reduce the Montenegrin Army's troop sources and use them for your own use. This is the right way. Blindly killing them is just drinking poison to quench thirst."
Zhao Yunruo nodded with understanding.
It is not necessary to be proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics, but one must know how to govern the people.
If he dares to make a move against these soldiers and horses now, Luoyang will directly send the Central Army to kill him on the spot.
The military can stabilize the country, and the civilized can govern the people.
Indeed, the requirements of the common people at the bottom are not high. As long as they can survive, they generally will not rebel.
“But when the road to life is blocked, who would it be and who wouldn’t rebel?
Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan were both born in Zhending Township, and the people they interacted with the most were the farmers in the township.
From his perspective, there will always be differences between his interests and those of the rich and powerful.
But the key reason why he patiently explained to them was that he hoped that Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan would not only become the leaders of the guards, nor just be fierce generals on the battlefield.
They have great potential for growth.
"Just wanting to change these things will not happen overnight. Some things need to be done step by step and made appropriate adjustments according to changes in the situation."
"You need to start from two places, hit and caress at the same time, and use both care and suppression to achieve success."
They also understand best the sufferings and fears of ordinary people.
For the time being, he could not annex these powerful troops from the Liyang camp, the vassal state of Liaodong, and the Youzhou governor. He also did not dare to annex them.
Zhao Yun sighed softly: "Your Majesty, can the current situation be changed?"
At present, Guan Yu is in Youzhou and has the ability to respond to a hundred requests in military matters.
Therefore, the new army currently established by Liu Jian in Jizhou must be cultivated by himself.
"Actually, if you want to prevent the rebels from growing in the Taihang Mountains, in addition to crusading, you must also control the source, and this source is to reduce the number of refugees."
"The envoy wants to resettle the refugees?" Xia Houlan asked.
Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan are very young, only fifteen years old.
He was under the direct command of General Luoyang's Mansion and managed Liyang Camp.
"If we kill 100,000 people this year, 200,000 or even 300,000 people may appear next year! One million people will appear the year after that!"
We must both use and suppress the powerful and prominent families.
When he was in the Youzhou Governor's Department, the troops in the Youzhou Governor's Department were all under the command of Guan Yu.
Only in this way can they become the dominant figure in their own side as their side gradually grows stronger in the future.
Indeed, now he needs Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan to grow up quickly.
Once Guan Yu leaves, if Youzhou's army undergoes several rounds of changes within two or three years, Guan Yu's previous prestige will be worn away over time.
"Zilong, Lan, I'm going to start recruiting the army right away. You two are the commanders of our Jizhou Army. After the army is formed, we must train this army well. I want this army to be in charge of the discussion."
The thief continues to grow stronger in the process, and the two of you must also become stronger together."
Guan Yu has to continue to stay in Youzhou, and Zhang Fei and Han Dang need to continue to take charge of Liyang Camp.
"Fighting is necessary, but it is not the most critical thing."
Now that the situation is not in chaos, Liu Jian cannot embezzle elite soldiers from other counties.
From the beginning, Liu Jian did not feel that organizing his own army in Jizhou relied entirely on local well-dressed families.
Liu Jian's words touched Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan's hearts.
The sergeants in the Liyang camp were all from good families in the six counties. They not only had a source of elite soldiers, but were also supported by relatively elite equipment from the Han Dynasty.
Huang Zhong and Xu Rong are still in Liangzhou accompanying Zhang Wen and Dong Zhuo to defeat thieves.
"Many Li Shu people actually just want to live. As long as the well-dressed wealthy people and local tyrants don't push them to death, as long as they can still support themselves and have a way to eat, it will be difficult to be forced to rebel."
Liu Jian nodded.
"You need to train your troops as well as yourselves, do you understand?
Zhao Yun immediately said: "Your Majesty trusts us so much, Yun will definitely do his best to repay you!"
"We keep fighting, and the thieves in the Taihang Mountains are constantly absorbing people and forming new armies. This is an endless cycle!"
Guan Yu is currently based in the vassal state of Liaodong, commanding the border states to strengthen their troops.
"As far as the current situation is concerned, the reason why I asked the rich and well-dressed people in the four counties for one billion dollars today is just an excuse. My real purpose is to use this incident to solve the food problem of some refugees."
The current world is not the most chaotic period yet. Under the current situation, you can boil the frog in warm water and adopt a series of measures according to the changes in the situation.
When Luoyang is in chaos, the center is in chaos, and local counties break away from the center to form their own system, then it will be a good time for him to annex the ready-made elite troops in the north.
Before you have absolute strength and the right to speak, you cannot push the well-dressed giants in the basic market too hastily, but you must not condone them either.
Liu Jian replied: "Nothing can be accomplished overnight. Nothing in this world can change in an instant. Many things and rules need to be changed as the environment changes. They even need to be broken down and rebuilt. After a great chaos, a new order can be restored."
Determine the system.”
Liu Bei was the captain of Xiyuan School in the capital, and Gao Shun was his deputy.
Guan Yu cannot be allowed to leave Youzhou for the time being.
Although the number of sergeants in the Liyang camp was small, only about a thousand, the combat strength of these more than a thousand soldiers was equivalent to that of five thousand soldiers.
Although Liu Jian became the shepherd of Southern Jizhou, he did not summon Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others.
All we can do is wait.
He couldn't let others take away these formed armies that were clearly at his fingertips.
The people he can use are Zhao Yun, Cheng Pu, and Xia Houlan.
Cheng Pu followed him and fought against the Yellow Turbans. He also served as a county official in Peiping and had war experience in border counties.
The key is to train Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan.
Let these two young boys become the backbone of the Jizhou Army.
