I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 42
Lu Zhi has been a little overwhelmed these days, he is very busy with one thing after another.

The Han army defeated Xianbei, but there are many things to consider when fighting a war, but after the war, there are even more things to consider.

The Tanshihuai tribe in Danhanshan was defeated, but how should the scattered tribes in the central and eastern parts be appeased or dealt with?

How should I reward the tens of thousands of troops under my command?

The arrangement of guards on the border is also a problem. How to arrange the defense line after the army has withdrawn?
These are all things that Lu Zhi needs to consider and plan step by step.

"teacher."

Following a soft call from outside the tent, Lu Zhi turned his head away.

What he saw was Liu Jian, holding a lacquer bowl with steam coming out of it, it should be boiling soup.

"Teacher, I have worked hard all day and still haven't had a drop of water. Let's use some soup."

The student is so filial to him, Lu Zhi is naturally very happy, especially when he sees this student recently, the more he looks at it, the more pleasing to the eye, the more satisfied he is.

Why didn't I see that he was so rare when I was in Gou's Mountain?

After receiving the soup delivered by Liu Jian, Lu Zhi took a sip and praised:

"It's a good soup, but it's boiled with leftover tapirs? It's the way Hu people used to eat it."

"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, and it is specially for the teacher to review."

After finishing speaking, he immediately placed a roll of bamboo slips on Lu Zhi's desk.

Lu Zhi took a sip of the soup, wiped his mouth with a square towel, and then opened it solemnly.

After looking carefully for a while, Lu Zhiqi asked, "Isn't your own name on it?"

Liu Jian said with a faint smile: "Students are not in a hurry, let's focus on the achievements of the soldiers under your command first."

"You're not greedy for merit." Lu Zhi said vaguely, swallowing the soup one mouthful at a time.

"To benefit the country, not to seek wealth."

After hearing this, Lu Zhi looked at Liu Jian seriously and sighed.

"After all, you still remember what you taught me as a teacher on Mount Gou's back then."

Liu Jian murmured in his heart, teacher, forget it soon, you only gave us a few lessons in Goushi Mountain back then, you can figure it out with your fingers.

"That's right. After all, you are the one who wants to bring Xiaolian into Beijing as a man. The matter is complicated and it cannot be done overnight. Instead, it is a matter of properly arranging your few brothers who are good at fighting."

"Yes, in this way, the disciple can follow the teacher on the road with peace of mind."

"puff--!"

Lu Zhi choked on a mouthful of soup.

"I mean, in this way, disciples can follow their teacher to Luo with peace of mind."

Lu Zhi picked up the towel and wiped his mouth again, and gave Liu Jian a dissatisfied look.

"I went back to Luoyang. When I have nothing to do, I often go to Goushi Mountain to make up Chinese lessons for you. I can't speak." Lu Zhi said angrily.

But after hearing this, Liu Jian was very happy in his heart. Lu Zhi was so sure, which meant that Lu Qian must have promised him to be filial to him.

Lu Zhi continued to speak slowly: "On Xuande's side, the county office needs to report to the Shangshutai after the investigation of corruption, and after it is registered in the register, it will be assigned a local position. The old man will pay more attention to him at the Shangshutai."

Liu Jian said with a smile: "Teacher, brother Xuande, can you arrange it closer to home? It's best to be in Qingzhou or Jizhou, and arrange for him to be a county magistrate or county lieutenant in a big county..."

"you……!"

Lu Zhi's expression was slightly distorted: "This court is run by your Liu family? You want to arrange for him to go to Jizhou? Jizhou? You want him to be the county magistrate?"

Liu Jian didn't speak, he just looked at Lu Zhi with a shy smile, as if a little embarrassed.

Don't show too complacent expression.

Lu Zhi immediately came to his senses.

Strictly speaking, this imperial court seems to be run by his Liu family.

half an hour...

"Oh, you bastard."

Lu Zhi rubbed the center of his brows. After a busy day, for some reason, sitting down and chatting with this little apprentice made him feel relaxed and happy.

"Don't worry, the old man will take care of Xuande's matter. You don't need to worry about it here. Could it be that I will let it go as my own disciple?"

"What the teacher said is that the students are busy."

"Since Lu Zi and Liu Bo'an both wrote 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. Shangshutai has also begun to follow the rules. ,"

"However, you still need to remind them more, especially Guan Yu, since he has become a soldier of the governor's mansion, Cao Canjun, and is in charge of military affairs under Liu Bo'an, so he can't be the same as the knight-errant in the past, let alone kill people, Liu Bo'an is this man , he is a decent person!"

"Master, don't worry, I will definitely remind Yun Chang."

"As for the border counties of Youzhou, especially Yanmen, Daijun, and Dingxiang, His Majesty has decreed to grant the master the right to make overall arrangements. Last time you said that your virtuous brother Zhang Fei can fight against Hu at the border. During this time, old man I went on an expedition with you, and occasionally observed this person, and felt that you, a virtuous brother, are not ordinary people, and you can be made into a general, but there is one thing wrong with him."

"I don't know what the teacher said?"

"Based on Zhang Fei's achievements, it's not a big problem to give him a Qu Junhou of [-] shi to guard the border. Most of the soldiers are confidants and old soldiers, Zhang Fei is just fifteen, how can he convince the public?"

Liu Jian heard the words and said solemnly: "Teacher, this is wrong. In ancient times, Gan Luo was 12 years old as Shangqing, and Meng Changjun was [-] years old. man of."

Lu Zhi sighed: "I have the ability, but I'm afraid that there are old treacherous pawns in the border villages of Bingzhou, and they are all spoiled by the Liangzhou people, so it's hard to manage."

Liu Jian changed his mind, and then offered advice.

"If that's the case, how about taking advantage of the preliminary decision of the war to establish a new village?"

"Establish Xintun?" Lu Zhi stroked his beard: "It's not impossible."

"For this campaign, Youzhou and Liangzhou recruited a lot of young soldiers. These young men have not been in the army for a long time. If they recruit the elite and hand them over to Zhang Fei to set up a new village, they will be proficient in drills and will definitely add new merits to the big man... …We can’t always rely on the people of Liangzhou for border guards.”

Lu Zhi smiled when he heard this.

He shook his hand and nodded 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 reasonable. I will draw up a memorial tomorrow and send it to Xingye Shangshutai, in You Bingjian Xinqutun, your brother Zhang Fei should take advantage of this time to select suitable personnel first, and don’t turn around and let others select all the elite soldiers.”

Liu Jian was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately said: "Thank you, teacher, for your advice!"

……

On the second day, Liu Jian accompanied Zhang Fei, who had not yet recovered from his injuries, and selected the best troops from various departments to establish a new Qutun as Zhang Fei's subordinate soldiers when he guarded the border county.

This time, Zhang Fei was appointed as the Marquis of Qu Jun, with a rank and salary of six hundred shi. In charge of one song, there were five troops in the front, back, left, and right, with a total of [-] 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: "My dear brother, the 500 people selected for you this time are all young and strong recruits, and none of them were deployed before. You are their first officer. You have to keep in mind that guarding the border is one aspect, and taking care of them is another aspect. You must take care of these 500 people and let them recognize you as the master. With you, these five villages will be young and strong in the future, and they may be the core strength of our team. Do you understand what I mean?"
