Lu Zhi has been a little anxious these days. He is busy with one thing after another.
The Han army defeated Xianbei, but there were many things to consider when fighting a war, but after the war, there were even more things to consider.
The Tanshihuai tribe in Danhan Mountain was defeated, but how should the scattered tribes in the central and eastern parts be appeased or dealt with?
How should I report the merits of my tens of thousands of troops?
The arrangement of border garrison is also a problem. How to arrange the defense line after the army withdraws?
These are all things Lu Zhi needs to consider and plan step by step.
"teacher."
Following a soft call from outside the tent, Lu Zhi turned his head.
What he saw was Liu Jian, holding a lacquered bowl with steam coming out of it, probably for boiling soup.
"Teacher, you have worked hard all day and you still haven't had enough water. Please use some soup."
Lu Zhi was naturally very happy that the student was so filial to him, especially when he saw this student recently. The more he looked at him, the more he liked him, and the more he looked at him, the more satisfied he became.
Why didn't I see that he was so rare when we were in Fengshi Mountain?
Taking the soup delivered by Liu Jian, Lu Zhi took a sip and praised:
"It's a good soup, but it's made with leftover tapir? It's a common way of eating for barbarian people."
"Teacher, you asked me to draw up the military merits of the people in Qutun where I live according to the last time. The students have already made it, especially for the teacher to review."
After saying that, he immediately placed a scroll of slips on Lu Zhi's desk.
Lu Zhi took a sip of the soup, picked up a square towel and wiped his mouth, and then opened it solemnly.
After looking at it carefully for a while, Lu Zhiqi said: "Isn't your name on it?"
Liu Jian smiled lightly and said: "Student, don't be impatient, let's focus on the merits of the soldiers under our command first."
"You're not greedy for merit." Lu Zhi said vaguely, sipping the soup in mouthfuls.
"I only seek to benefit the country, not wealth."
After Lu Zhi heard this, he looked at Liu Jian seriously and sighed.
"After all, you still remember what my teacher taught you on Fengshi Mountain."
Liu Jian secretly muttered to himself, Teacher, forget it now. You only gave us a few lessons in Fengshi Mountain back then. You can count them with your fingers.
"Yes, after all, you are the one who wants to promote Xiaolian to the capital as a prince. The matters involved are complicated and cannot be accomplished overnight. Instead, you need to make proper arrangements for your brothers who are good at fighting."
"Yes, this way the disciple can follow his teacher on the road with peace of mind."
"puff--!"
Lu Zhi choked on a mouthful of soup.
"I mean, in this way, the disciple can follow his teacher to the throne with peace of mind."
Lu Zhi picked up the towel and wiped his mouth again, then glared at Liu Jian dissatisfied.
"I'll go back to Luoyang. When I have nothing to do, I'll go for a walk to Fengshi Mountain. I'll give you some Chinese lessons, since you can't speak." Lu Zhi said angrily.
But after hearing this, Liu Jian felt extremely happy. Lu Zhi was so sure, which meant that Lu Qian must have promised him to give him filial piety and integrity.
Lu Zhi continued to speak slowly: "Over at Xuande, after the inspection, the county office needs to report to the Shangshu Desk. After being registered, local duties will be assigned. I will help him pay attention to it at the Shangshu Desk."
Liu Jian smiled and said: "Teacher, can Brother Xuande be arranged to be closer to home? It would be best to arrange for him to be the magistrate or county lieutenant of a large county in Qingzhou or Jizhou..."
"you……!"
Lu Zhi's expression was slightly distorted: "This court is run by your Liu family? If you want to arrange for him to go to Jizhou, then Jizhou? If you want him to be the county magistrate, then the county magistrate?"
Liu Jian didn't say anything. He just looked at Lu Zhi with a shy smile, seeming a little embarrassed.
Don't look too proud.
Lu Zhi reacted immediately.
Strictly speaking, this court seems to be really run by his Liu family.
For a while...
"Oh, you are such a jerk."
Lu Zhi rubbed his brows. He had been busy all day, but for some reason, sitting down and chatting with this young apprentice made him feel relaxed and happy.
"Don't worry, I will take care of Xuande's matters. You don't need to worry about it here. Do you think I will let it go as I am my own disciple?"
"My teacher said that students are troublesome."
"Since both Lu Zi and Liu Bo'an have written letters, the matter of Jian Yong and Guan Yu is settled. After all, both of them have made great contributions. If the local government does not grant the position of high official, it is still unjustifiable. The chancellery has also begun to follow the regulations.
,"
"But you still need to remind them more, especially Guan Yu. Since he has become a soldier of the governor's office and joined the army, and is in charge of military affairs under Liu Bo'an, he can't still have the same knight-errant temperament as in the past, let alone kill people if he wants to. Liu Bo'an is
, he is a very decent person!"
"Don't worry, mentor, I will definitely remind Yunchang."
"As for the border counties of Youzhou, especially Yanmen, Daijun, and Dingxiang, His Majesty has decreed that the division will be given the power to coordinate the deployment. Last time you said that your good brother Zhang Fei can guard the border to fight against the Hu. During this period, I
I went on an expedition with you, and I occasionally observed this man, and felt that your wise brother is an extraordinary person, and a capable general, but there is something wrong with him."
"I wonder what my mentor said?"
"Based on Zhang Fei's achievements, it would not be a big deal to give him a 600-stone Qujunhou to guard the border. The key is that he is young, and the border areas such as Yanmen and Daijun are mostly guarded by Liangzhou officials.
Most of the soldiers are old soldiers who are close to him. Zhang Fei is just fifteen, how can he convince everyone?"
Hearing this, Liu Jian said calmly: "Teacher, you are wrong. In ancient times, Gan Luo became a minister at the age of twelve, Mengchangjun spoke to his father at the age of five, and Li Daozu discussed blessings and misfortunes when he was young. Although Zhang Fei was young, he was not necessarily inferior to him at that age.
A long man."
Lu Zhi sighed: "I have the ability, but I'm afraid that all the border towns in Bingzhou are old and treacherous soldiers, and they have been spoiled by the Liangzhou people and are difficult to control."
Liu Jian's mind changed and he immediately offered suggestions.
"If this is the case, how about taking advantage of the initial decision of the war to establish a new settlement?"
"Establish a new village?" Lu Zhi stroked his beard: "It's not impossible."
"For this campaign, Youzhou and Liangzhou recruited many young soldiers. These soldiers have not been in the army for a long time. If the best of them are selected and handed over to Zhang Fei to establish a new camp, and they are well trained, they will definitely add new achievements to the big man...
…We can’t always rely on the people of Liangzhou for border defense matters.”
Lu Zhi laughed when he heard this.
He waved his hand and tapped Liu Jian's nose, shook his head and said with a smile: "You! You are full of ideas that you shouldn't have at this age! But what you said is indeed true. I will draw up a memorial in the future and send it to you on the starry night
At the Shangshutai, Xinqutun is being built in Youbian. Your brother Zhang Fei will take advantage of this time to quickly select suitable people. Don't look back and let others select all the best soldiers."
Liu Jian was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately said: "Thank you very much, teacher!"
…
The next day, Liu Jian accompanied Zhang Fei, who was still recovering from his injuries, and selected the best troops from various departments to establish a new Qutun camp as Zhang Fei's subordinate soldiers when he guarded the border counties.
This time Zhang Fei was appointed as the Marquis of Qujun, with a salary of 600 shi. He was in charge of Ququ, which included five garrisons in the front, rear, left and right, totaling 500 garrison soldiers.
Han Dang, who had saved Zhang Fei on the battlefield before, was naturally the first choice!
Before going to recruit people, Liu Jian told Zhang Fei: "Brother Xian, the five hundred people selected for you this time are all young and strong recruits. They have no plans originally. You are equivalent to their first officer."
, you must remember that guarding the border is one thing, and keeping people in mind is another. You must win over these five hundred people and let them recognize you as their master. With you, in the future, these five villages, young and strong, may be the center of our team.
