I, Liu Bian, Sanxing Han Dynasty

Chapter 339 Strategy
Zang Hong made a good start and put forward a good entry point, and everyone began to speak freely for a while.

Xun Yu suggested: "It is naturally good to use the ban on armor and other weapons as a reason. But in border areas, there are frequent barbaric problems, so measures should be taken according to local conditions."

Guo Jiadao: "Now that the Taiwei is in charge of Yanzhou, why not take this opportunity to strictly investigate the crime of secretly hiding armor in the five states!"

"No." Hua Xin was born in Qingzhou Plain Country. He had a desire to serve as an official and be a killer. He always paid attention to the actual situation in the place. His thoughts were more inclined to pursue stability and believed that solving the problem of private soldiers did not require such a big fight - - "Your Majesty, before Zhongping, there were very few people who actually had private soldiers. Those who supported followers and guests often only did things like follow the family background to show their momentum."

"Today, the world is becoming more and more stable, and the remaining thieves from the Zhongping period are disappearing day by day. It is better to issue a strict edict to prohibit private gatherings of common people for training, and to limit the number of followers and guests supported by the powerful families."

"In this way, most of the private soldiers everywhere can be dispersed. At that time, those who defy the situation and resist in the dark should use thunderous measures!"

After listening to Hua Xin's suggestion, Guo Jia asked: "Otherwise, private soldiers today are mostly called guests and other pseudonyms. Once the edict is actually issued, who knows that the rich and powerful people in various places will not use other names again, such as tenants? How to tell?"

"You can't always send people to keep an eye on whether there are people training in the countryside during the slack time, right?" Guo Jia said sarcastically.

But at the Chancellor's Desk, the two often had disagreements and quarrels due to different political opinions, and Guo Jia was somewhat used to it. After all, he is a bit young and not stable enough.

However, no one present, not even the person involved, Hua Xin, cared about this trivial matter.

"It's not a bad idea!" Hua Xin didn't think Guo Jia was being sarcastic, so he followed Guo Jia's words and continued, "Your Majesty sent envoys to the local area twice to rectify the government. It can be done once, but why not again? Then he will inspect the countryside and kill one to serve as a warning to others. ”

Liu Bian listened very carefully. He originally thought Hua Xin was a bit conservative, but he didn't expect him to be so decisive in his speech.

As expected of a person who couldn't help but put down the book and go out to watch when a senior official drove by while studying.

To put it bluntly, how could these people in the palace not know what Liu Bian liked to hear in the past few years?
But not everyone present was so knowledgeable. Although Cai Yong was also willing to train young people, he could not help but frown when he saw the murderous intent in the words of the talented people in front of him.

He hesitated for a moment, but finally did not speak. He still wanted to leave room for the young man to speak.

Chen Qun has always been cautious and low-key, but at this moment, he did not hide his reasons: "I believe that the way to deal with private soldiers is nothing more than urgency and slowness. If you are in a hurry, you must be prepared to prevent unexpected events. If you slow down, it will take a long time, not just a few years.”

Zhong Yao was the eldest among the old ministers who were conquered by Prince Liu Bian at the time. He was older than Yilang Zanghong, and his talents and conduct were first-class.

He secretly monitored Dong Zhuo for Liu Bian for a long time to see if he had done anything illegal. However, as Dong Zhuo gradually settled down in the capital and no longer wanted to focus on military power, the necessity of keeping Zhong Yao by Dong Zhuo's side was also decreasing. .

Liu Bian was already considering letting Zhong Yao, like Xun Yue, serve as governor or two thousand shi.

Zhong Yao suggested: "Now the Taiwei is leading his troops to guard Yanzhou. However, the land of the five states is vast after all. If the troops are distributed among the five states, it will be insufficient. I think that we can conduct an urgent investigation in Yanzhou and wait for the four states of Qingxu, Henan and Hebei." check."

"Firstly, Sili is now stable, and Yanzhou is located in the heart of Guandong, connected with Sili, separating the north and the south. Secondly, the Taiwei is stationed in Yanzhou and is responsible for attacking, and the Weiwei and Taipu are divided into four states to appease, so they can take advantage of the trend. for."

Cai Yong had a smile on his face. Hearing this, he felt that his wait was not in vain.

……Yanzhou.

The military camp where Huangfusong was located seemed quiet, but under the calm, the private movements did not decrease.

The busiest people are undoubtedly those who hide in the dark.

"Sima, you haven't slept for two days... why not take a rest."

Man Chong browsed the information gathered in his hands, without even having time to raise his head. He only took advantage of the opportunity to turn a new page and said: "Now the powerful right people are trying every means to cover up the existence of private soldiers. If we don't take advantage of this opportunity to The private soldiers here will find out. Even if it is later, there will be nowhere to investigate. "

After browsing another page of content, Man Chong immediately wrote down the words "more than five hundred" on the paper beside him that was full of surnames and birthplaces.

At this time, Man Chong seemed to have thought of something. He finally raised his head and looked at the military commander of the school affairs department beside him and said: "Go and tell the boys that you have worked hard these days and when you succeed, you will be rewarded. At that time, I will personally go and ask for the merit." , record your merits for you!"

The military commander who was still tired immediately became energetic. He knew that his superior officer was always good at what he said, so he responded: "Don't worry, Sima. I'll go and tell the sons right away!"

With a hasty response, Man Chong immersed himself in the complicated documents.

A few days later, Man Chong appeared in front of Huangfu Song again. Huangfu Song looked at the directory in his hand and corroborated it with the information fed back by the envoys responsible for inspecting the administration in his memory. There was almost no major discrepancy.

"You did a great job, I will give you credit." Huangfu Song praised.

Man Chong did not forget his promise and declined: "Mr. Taiwei, the credit here is not mine alone, but all the subordinates worked tirelessly, day and night, were on duty despite being sick, and did not sleep for three days and did not return home for ten months. , countless...Chong is willing to reward all his subordinates with this merit."

In modern times, such propaganda behavior as Man Chong will naturally be understood as - for every number that appears on the list in Huangfu Song's hand, a child loses the company of his parents.

But who allowed this to be an evil feudal society!
But having said that, even in the evil old society, people who make such contributions must be rewarded according to their merits. Otherwise, they will lose their hearts.

Huangfu Song said: "There is no need to deny your achievements, and the achievements of your subordinates will not be forgotten. However, this is an internal matter of your department, and I cannot interfere. However, I will inform Your Majesty about this matter."

Man Chong was overjoyed when he heard this and said quickly: "I would like to express my gratitude to Duke Taiwei on behalf of my subordinates!"

……

After Man Chong left, Huangfu Li came to Huangfu Song and asked with some confusion: "Although this man is talented and diligent, he is a member of the school affairs department after all. My nephew heard that the school affairs department is now His reputation in the capital is not as good as it was when Guan Yu was in charge, so why would my uncle have a hand in it? Moreover, it is not easy to record the secrets here. "

Huangfu Song always had a good attitude towards Huangfu Li, and explained: "I saw that Man Chong was also a direct minister, so I decided to recommend him. Besides, who said that I should inform His Majesty of this matter in a memorial?"
