Bloodline of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 40
According to Liu Long's order, Zhang Fei sent people to take over the city defense of Liaoxi County.Gather all the original county soldiers in the school army field, waiting for Liu Long's next arrangement.Guan Hai led the Sancai War Battalion to maintain law and order in Liaoxi County.So far, Liu Long has nominally taken over Liaoxi County.

"Who are the Lieutenant, Chang Shi, Juncheng, and Zhu Bo of Liaoxi County? Stand up for me." Liu Long looked at the Liaoxi County official in front of him and asked.

"The Lieutenant Li Quan of Liaoxi County under his command, Chang Shi, Juncheng and Zhu Bo all died at the hands of bandits last night." One of the generals said by himself.Almost in this era, the officials in every county and city came from local aristocratic families. Now that the aristocratic families in Liaoxi County have been wiped out by Liu Long, these officials are bound to be doomed.

"Since he's dead, there's no need to pursue his dereliction of duty and convict him. However, as the highest military officer in Liaoxi County, you can't protect one side, so you can be convicted." Liu Long said sharply.

"Master Taishou, but his subordinates have been convicted of dereliction of duty. But the attribute is also helpless. Liaoxi County should have 2000 soldiers, but the previous prefect lost 500 soldiers in the battle with the Karasuma people, and has not been replenished so far. The county only had [-] registered soldiers. Later, after the prefect died in battle, the original captain was afraid that the Karasuma people would come again, so he took most of the soldiers and fled. Now there are only old, weak and remnants less than [-]. Because I don’t want to He ran away with the original captain, and stayed to become the nominal captain of Liaoxi County, and I ask the prefect to investigate clearly." Li Quan, the captain of Liaoxi County, said.

"There are only five hundred soldiers in the western Liao County, and they are old and weak. How can we defend the northern border of the Han Dynasty? You officials who have the salary of the Han Dynasty but can't benefit one side, what use is it to have it?" Liu Long rose up against the crime and loudly questioned everyone present.

"Because of the great changes in my family, the meritorious officer of Liaoxi County, I hope that the prefect will allow me to resign and go back to my hometown to settle down." The meritorious officer of Liaoxi County said with fear.Fearing that Liu Long would punish him, he chose to resign from his official position.

"Then go, and anyone else who wants to resign can just go. I won't pursue the past. If you want to continue serving in Liaoxi County, you have to show a serving attitude, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless. "Liu Long said.

There was silence for a while, and everyone was thinking about whether to stay or not.Gongcao left after doing the gift, and then a few more resigned and left, and there were only three or five people left.Among them was Li Quan, Captain of the Infantry.

"Since you have chosen to stay, you must be loyal to your duties. From now on, Jia Xu will be the governor of Liaoxi County, in charge of all matters in Liaoxi County. Li Quan, the captain, was demoted for dereliction of duty and retained. Keep the northern border of my great Han safe." Liu Long said.

Next, Jia Xu began to arrange various matters in Liaoxi County. Today's Liaoxi County can be said to be in a state of waste.Jia Xu is very busy, but what can be done, who made Liu Long have too few officials.At this time, Liu Long felt his own inadequacy. Governing a Liaoxi county and killing enemies on the battlefield were two completely different jobs.The former is much more difficult than the latter.

After a few people, Liaoxi County finally entered the regular state under Jia Xu's sorting out, but there were too many vacant official positions.Now Jia Xu has done all the work of Chang Shi, Jun Cheng and Zhu Bo by himself, and Jia Xu is so busy that he has no time to sleep.The recruitment of soldiers is also in full swing. Liu Long imitated the method of conscription in later countries and made people hype.Let the entire Liaoxi County know that the newly appointed Liaoxi prefect will recruit troops to fight against the Karasuma people.It is hoped that young people of the right age will actively sign up and serve in the army to defend their families and the country.

At the same time, Liu Long formulated a corresponding reward system and allowance standards for soldiers, allowing recruiters to post them everywhere.In Yangle, Linyu, Feiru, Haiyang, and Lingzhi, the prefectures of western Liaoning.In the four counties, people can be seen reading the recruitment notice.

The whole family benefits if one person serves as a soldier. All families who join the army will be exempted from taxes for two years.After five years, they can be demobilized and return home.If disabled in battle, his family members will be exempted from tax and corvee for life.The family members of the war dead are supported by the prefect's mansion.

When this announcement was issued, Liaoxi County was shaken.In this war-torn era, being a soldier is just to have a meal.Who dares to expect to have a monthly salary to get it.Although it is said on the surface that they all have a monthly salary, there are really very few left in the hands of soldiers.A monthly salary of five baht twice a month is a monthly salary that all the troops of the big man cannot give.One guanqian can buy three shi of grain, two guan is six shi, one year is 72 shi of grain, and one county magistrate can only buy 360 shi a year.No one dared to believe that a soldier could get 72 stones.

At the beginning, no one believed it, and they all thought that the new prefect was doing some kind of conspiracy.After all, the people who have seen each other have served as Mrs.They are all here to bully the people to make money, who has seen a prefect who comes to spend money.

Later, the disabled veterans who came from Zhuoxian County, after their own experience, they gradually believed it.Finally, after seeing that some people who joined the army had indeed received two pennies, a large number of people came to the recruiting office.But to their disappointment, as long as they are between 30 and [-] years old, other people will not accept them.

Recruitment is in full swing, and a large number of recruits have started training.But just before the recruits had formed their combat effectiveness, the scouts heard the movement of the Karasuma people.

Under the persuasion and temptation of Yuan's family, Qiu Liju finally decided to send troops to Liaoxi County.This time Qiu Liju personally led Karasuma cavalry with [-] soldiers, and came to Liaoxi County.In less than ten days, Qiu Liju's Karasuma cavalry will reach the county seat of Liaoxi County.Although Liu Long had already made corresponding arrangements, he was still a little uneasy.After all, this is not fifty thousand yellow scarves, but the Karasuma cavalry known for its ferocity and speed.

"Mr. Wenhe, do you know what's going on in Juxian Pavilion?" Liu Long immediately asked Jia Xu to set up Juxian Pavilion in Liaoxi County to recruit talents.I hope that some humble scholars can take effect.

"In the past few days, I have been asking about Juxian Pavilion every day. Although there are some humble scholars here, they are not very talented. They are only suitable for some record work. It seems that people with lofty ideals are looking at us. Those who live in Qiu Liju can bear it, fifty thousand Karasuma cavalry." Jia Xu said.

"Yeah, if we can't stop the Karasuma iron cavalry, we won't be eligible for their vote. It seems that we have to make some achievements this time, so that the world can see if Liaoxi County is where they should vote." Liu Long also knew in his heart that although sending charcoal in the snow is better than icing on the cake, how many people would do this.After all, it is a matter of life and future.Everyone has to think twice before acting. Didn't Zhuge Liang come out of the mountain after three requests?
