The last three kingdoms

Chapter 637
The Hexi Corridor is a green corridor of life, and Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan, and Dunhuang are the four pearls inlaid on this long green profile. Since Huo Qubing swept the Xiongnu in Hexi, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty established the four prefectures in Hexi, this fertile The land has since belonged to the Han Dynasty. After Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty, the four counties in Hexi became part of the Governor of Liangzhou in Cao Wei. After Sima Yan usurped the Wei Dynasty, it became the territory of the Jin State. This piece of land was reintroduced into the territory of the Han Dynasty. This is no longer a simple fate of reincarnation. The changes in Liangzhou's territory have also witnessed the silent evolution of the general trend of the world.

Xu Wu is still the governor of Liangzhou, and Liu Yin promised that the officials of Liangzhou will basically stay in office. This includes Xu Wu's governor of Liangzhou, Tiao Mao's prefect of Wuwei, Zhangye prefect Zhang Gong, and Jiuquan prefect Zhang Xu. Of course, Liu Yin was happy to see the success. Tiao Mao, Zhang Gong, and Zhang Xu continued to serve as the prefects of Wuwei, Zhangye, and Jiuquan counties respectively. Only Ma Xun, the prefect of Dunhuang, refused to surrender and continued to hold high. The banner of the Jin Dynasty fought against the Kingdom of Shu.

Liu Yin didn't care about it. A mere Dunhuang county refused to surrender, and it didn't matter to the overall situation. As long as the Shu army came forward, the Dunhuang city with only [-] defenders could be easily captured. In terms of power, in Liangzhou, the only one who can be called an enemy is the bald tree.

Although he suffered a disastrous defeat at Wuwei Bald Tree Jigong this time and suffered heavy losses, Liu Yin knew very well that the centipede is dead but not stiff. An opponent like Bald Tree Jigong must not give him a chance to breathe. Relax, let him recover, and he will definitely make a comeback. It is not difficult to defeat such an opponent, but how to eliminate him is difficult. Only by completely eliminating him can the peace of Liangzhou be maintained.

In history, the bald tree was able to dominate Hexi for ten years, during which time it was only defeated once by the famous general Wen Yang of the Western Jin Dynasty. The function is eliminated.Just one year later, the bald tree function after the defeat made a comeback. In Wuwei, the Jin army was defeated, and the new governor of Liangzhou, Yang Xin, became the third governor of Liangzhou to be killed. The dead official of the frontier, it can be seen that the function of the bald tree is so fierce.

Facing such an unbeatable Xiaoqiang, Liu Yin was not complacent because of Gu Zang's great victory. He knew very well that the function of the bald tree is like a weed in the desert. As long as there is suitable soil for him, it can bring him some With rain and dew, this weed will grow wildly, and even expand into a meadow.

So to deal with the function of the bald tree, what we need to do is to get rid of the evil, cut the weeds and roots, and absolutely not give any room for survival.

The 5-strong army with bare trees lost 3 in the first-line gorge, and thousands of troops were lost in the two attacks on the way. The most serious casualties were the battle of Guzang. [-] to [-] people, nearly [-]% lost, nearly [-] people died in Guzang, and the bald tree function fled Dunhuang with only [-] to [-] people, which can be described as a heavy loss.

Liu Yin didn't mean to let go of the function of the bald tree. After the battle of Guzang, after a few days of short rest, continuing the western expedition was put on the agenda again.

Of course, before sending troops, Liu Yin still needs to rectify the administration of officials in the Governor's Mansion. Although Liu Yin agreed to Tiao Mao, all the officials in Liangzhou's Governor's Mansion will stay in principle in principle.Naturally, Liu Yin would not break his promise and become fat, and most of the original Liangzhou officials stayed in their posts.However, Liu Yin also made some fine-tuning of Liangzhou's official administration, which did not contradict the previously mentioned principles, and would not have a major shock to Liangzhou's official administration.

The most notable feature is the re-establishment of the post of Captain.Duwei is the chief military officer at the first level of the county in Han Dynasty. Most of the inland counties have set up. In the border county, there were times when the post of long history was not set up. In the Cao Wei period, the post of Duwei was mostly abolished. The functions and powers of the chiefs are all replaced by the prefect of the county. While the prefect is in charge of administration, he also firmly controls the military of the county.

Liu Yin re-established the captain, the most important thing is to distribute the military power from the prefect. The prefect is nominally a county magistrate, but it is only in the administrative field, and all military affairs are left to the capital. Weilai is in charge, and the captains of all counties are all confidant generals sent by Liu Yin.It is only through this method that the military power of the counties can be controlled. Liu Yin's purpose is to let the county guards do things on their own, but the military is firmly controlled, and they will not relax for a moment.

Of course, this is also in line with the ownership of military power in the second condition. Liu Yin no longer ambiguous about the second condition. He made it clear that the military establishments of the counties in Liangzhou can be retained, but the military command power is not. It is not allowed to fall apart, and the establishment of the county captain is the implementation of Liu Yin's thought.

Although Tiao Mao and others were a little disappointed, after all, before Liu Yin's arrival, they still had considerable independent power in the military. Xu Wu's assassination history has also become a civil servant establishment, completely losing military jurisdiction.

However, after seeing the outstanding performance of the Shu army in the Battle of Guzang, Xu Wu, Tiao Mao and the others also sighed to themselves. , the strong are easy to be respected, the Xianbei problem that has caused Xu Wu and others a headache for several months, after Liu Yin arrived, it was solved like chopping melons and vegetables. Naturally, he was in admiration.

The county set up a captain, and the state set up a school lieutenant, which was almost the same as the local military system in the Han Dynasty. Liu Yin firmly controlled the military power in Liangzhou through this method.When Guzang made a vote, he captured a large number of horses, weapons, supplies, and luggage from the Xianbei people, which provided convenient conditions for the next step in recruiting soldiers in Liangzhou. In terms of the concept of recruiting more expensive than many, it is still very suitable for recruiting here.

After staying in Wuwei for a month, Liu Yin basically completed the control of Liangzhou's military power. The next step is to march into Dunhuang, and prepare to deal with Ma Xun, the prefect of Dunhuang who refused to surrender, and include the last of the four Hexi counties. Come to the territory of the Shu Han, and at the same time, the more important task is to completely eliminate the function of the bald tree.
