Three days later, Ling Feng officially ascended the throne as the King of Hanzhong and concurrently became the Mud of Jingzhou. He awarded hundreds of officials, established a small court, and improved the system.
As Ling Feng became king, his luck increased again and became more condensed and stable.
When the major families in Yizhou learned that Ling Feng had occupied Jingzhou and ascended to the throne of Hanzhong, with the prospect of imperial hegemony, they couldn't help but rush to join him and send their outstanding sons to serve as officials.
Later, Xiao Qiao was escorted to Xiangyang City by Lu Su and his troops.
Ling Feng met her, and she was indeed a peerless beauty, and her cultivation was already at the peak of a master's level, not just a flower vase. If he had just crossed over from the earth and met such a historical beauty, he would have been a little excited. But now he
With his cultivation level at that time, it was natural that he would not lose his sense of proportion because of a beauty. Therefore, he did not immediately take her as his concubine, but put her under house arrest.
Immediately, he sent Kuai Liang to discuss with Lu Su the affairs of Cheng Pu and Xu Sheng.
However, Ling Feng still underestimated Sun Ce's background, because Lu Su actually agreed to pay 50,000 bottles of Gu Yuan Dan to redeem the two of them.
However, by doing this, Sun Ce gained fame and redeemed two generals, but the price he paid was certainly not small.
Later, Qinghu sent news about the Central Plains.
Cao Cao led an army of five million to attack Qingzhou. Qingzhou governor Tian Kai asked Liu Bei for help. He was originally a subordinate of Gongsun Zan, but at this time Gongsun Zan was still fighting Yuan Shao and was beyond his reach.
Liu Bei was anxious for justice and led his army to join forces with Tian Kai to resist Cao Cao. However, due to the disparity in military strength, they were still defeated.
Guangling King Liu Qing and Lu Bu raised troops to help, preparing to attack Chenliudao and force Cao Cao back.
At this time, Yuan Shu was somehow persuaded by Cao Cao to lead his army to attack Xuzhou. Liu Qing had no choice but to withdraw his troops and fight back against Yuan Shu. After defeating Yuan Shu, Cao Cao had completely occupied Qingzhou.
Liu Bei was defeated and surrendered to Yuan Shao. It is said that Yuan Shao heard that Liu Bei was coming to surrender and went to greet him thirty miles away. However, Tian Kai was defeated and led his army back to Youzhou.
When Ling Feng heard the news, he could only secretly scold Yuan Shu for being an idiot. Now Cao Cao has occupied Yanzhou and Qingzhou. As long as he rests for a few years, his strength will definitely increase greatly. Xuzhou and Yuzhou will definitely be unable to resist it. If Cao Cao is allowed to unify these four states
, there is a foundation for hegemony.
However, Ling Feng is not worried. As long as he can capture Yangzhou and Jiaozhou and unify the south, he will have no worries and can deal with Cao Cao with all his strength.
Now, what he needs is stable development and internal stability. And the hidden dangers inside, apart from the aristocratic families, are barbarians. There are southwestern barbarians in Yizhou and southern barbarians in Jingzhou. These barbarians must be eliminated, otherwise when he and Sun Ce fight,
If you suddenly rebel, you will be in trouble.
Therefore, Ling Feng first sent people to Wuling to communicate with the southern barbarians, promising them benefits and allowing them to move from the mountains to the city.
Of course, the result was not ideal, but it was also expected. So Ling Feng sent Wu Qu, Ju Men, and Lian Zhen to lead 300,000 Shura Blood Guards and 2 million state and county soldiers to encircle and suppress the Wuling Barbarians.
The Wuling barbarians had a population of tens of millions and were strong. Faced with Ling Feng's attack, they immediately raised three million troops and two hundred thousand Taoist soldiers. However, they were defeated in the first battle. Hundreds of thousands were beheaded and more than two million were captured.
After this battle, these 300,000 Shura Blood Guards also absorbed enough blood essence and vitality, and their cultivation level improved greatly. Among them, 200,000 new Shura Blood Guards were also promoted to above the middle stage of Xiantian.
Later, the leader of the Wuling tribe surrendered, led his people down the mountain, merged into the state and county, and began to open up wasteland and farmland.
The reason why the barbarians always rebel is because their living customs have not been assimilated by the Han people, so that they can maintain their independence. Once the barbarians have assimilated with the Han people and their thinking habits have changed, even if the barbarian leaders want to rebel, they will not
People followed him.
The Wuling barbarians all surrendered, and the weaker Changsha barbarians and Guiyang barbarians naturally followed suit.
After Ling Feng pacified the southern barbarians of Jingzhou, it was time to deal with the southwestern barbarians in the south of Yizhou. These barbarians of Yizhou are actually the southern barbarians of Shu in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Meng Huo, King Mulu, Wu Tugu and others are all, and their strength is relatively high.
Qi Wulingman is much stronger.
Ling Feng also used courtesy first and then sent troops to persuade others to surrender.
However, the Barbarian King Meng Huo cut off an ear of the envoy sent by Ling Feng and sent him back.
Therefore, Ling Feng personally led 300,000 Shura Blood Guards to attack them.
When the barbarian king Meng De learned that the army was attacking, he, his brother Meng You, his brother Meng Jie, and his wife Zhu Rong united all the ministries and raised five million troops to fight, including one hundred thousand fire-type Taoist soldiers from his own army, as well as rattan-armored Taoist soldiers with protruding bones.
One hundred thousand, and King Mulu’s army of beasts.
However, it was of no use. Ling Feng condensed his fighting spirit, and the blood dragon turned into a blood-fiend divine light that filled the sky, sweeping away. One hundred thousand vine-armored soldiers became mummies. And Ling Feng released the dragon power of true dragon blood to shock
, the army of ferocious beasts immediately turned into birds and beasts and dispersed.
In the end, the barbarian king Meng Huo surrendered, led his army to serve Ling Feng, and was named Zhonglang General by Ling Feng.
After this battle, the three legions of Wu Qu, Lian Zhen, and Jumen absorbed enough blood essence and vitality, and their strength increased again, reaching at least the peak level of the mid-innate phase.
With all the Southern Barbarians pacified, Ling Feng began to focus on domestic affairs, mainly in three aspects.
The first is talent, building martial arts halls, academies, and cultivating talents. There is also the recruitment of talents, such as Pang Degong, Mr. Shui Jing, Wolong, Fengchu and other top talents. Perhaps Ling Feng really took away Liu Bei's great fortune.
After several visits, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong both surrendered and were appointed by Ling Feng as the state ministers of the Hanzhong Palace and the administration of Jingzhou respectively.
In addition, Ling Feng established two high-end schools, Jingzhou Academy and Yizhou Academy, to attract young talents and teach strategies for governing the world and killing on the battlefield. Although Mr. Pang Degong and Mr. Shui Jing were unwilling to serve as officials, they were willing to teach and were hired by him respectively.
Served as the dean of two universities.
The second is the military aspect. He summoned all senior blacksmiths and swordsmiths and trained them into weapon refiners to refine magic weapon-level weapons and armor for the various Dao soldiers.
Fifty thousand bottles of Guyuan Dan from Jiangdong have been delivered and were assigned by Ling Feng to the four Taoist legions of Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Gan Ning, and Wenpin. Together with Jingzhou's training resources, these four Taoist legions
It will take shape quickly.
The third aspect is the economy and people's livelihood. Although land annexation in various places is serious and people's lives are difficult, the states and counties are actually still vast and sparsely populated. With the implementation of the farming system, a lot of fertile land has been opened up and can be rented to farmers. And the people have other things.
With no way out, the aristocratic families did not dare to force the tenants too much and lowered their rent collection.
In addition to the common people, there is also a treatment and pension system for soldiers, which requires a complete set of order. The fields gained from pioneering are named military fields. Anyone who joins the army can be given a certain amount of land. All soldiers who have made meritorious services can have their military ranks and
Financial rewards, and the families of all soldiers who died fighting for him can receive corresponding military land and monetary pensions according to their positions and military ranks.
Of course, Ling Feng basically just grasped the general direction. The specific details were still implemented by officials from the Hanzhong Palace and Jingzhou Mu. There were agencies such as the Qinglong Society, Suzaku Hall, and Liumen to monitor secretly. Ling Feng could also make adjustments at any time. He
His main task is to practice and understand the laws of chaos. His current cultivation level is gradually approaching the limit. He has reached the peak of Yang Shen and is about to condense the soul. Only by sublimating the power of the law into the power of the great avenue can he condense the unrivaled great great essence.
