The Invincible Hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 63 State Shepherd
Under the endless blue sky, Yeyuanshi County, Changshan County is more prosperous than ever.

Ten days have passed since the grand crowning ceremony for Zhao Yun.

Zhao Xiang stood on the city wall, and a fallen leaf came into his eyes.There was always a trace of gloom in Zhao Xiang's gaze.

A beautiful figure appeared behind Zhao Xiang.The attendant Dian Wei saw him, but he smiled and stepped back.

That beautiful figure stretched out her slender arms, resting on Zhao Xiang's broad back.

Zhao Xiang smelled the familiar body fragrance, and the haze in his eyes was dispelled.Just as he was about to speak while chuckling, the words stopped when they reached his mouth.

that's it. .It's also pretty good.Zhao Xiang thought silently in his heart.

Suddenly, a knight galloped from afar with a red battle flag behind his back.

He yelled loudly: "Eight hundred li urgent pond report!!"

A trace of coldness flashed across Zhao Xiang's eyebrows.He gently pulled away the soft hand that was wrapped around his chest.Turning around, he looked gently at the person behind him.

Sure enough, it was Dou Dou, she was wearing a white shirt, with black temples.His eyes stared at Zhao Xiang like water waves.

Zhao Xiang said softly: "The wind is blowing, let's go home."

Dou Doudun nodded, bowed his head and groaned: "Then...you should also pay attention. Don't catch cold."

Zhao Xiang nodded, watched Dou Dou's back, and then beckoned for a personal guard: "Send a few people to secretly protect Madam back home!"

In the hall of the prefect's mansion in Yuanshi County, the atmosphere suddenly became extremely oppressive.

When Zhao Xiang first heard the news, his breathing became heavy: "Bring up the pond newspaper, I'm going to read it!"

Seeing the contents of the pond newspaper, Zhao Xiang also had a heavy expression on his face.

"Your Majesty... is dead..."

"My lord's condolences." Xue Ge came out and advised, "Although your majesty passed away, there is still a young emperor. My lord still needs to take care of his health."

Zhao Xiang waved his hand indifferently, he didn't care about His Majesty's death at all.He only cared about one big event that was about to happen.

"Starting today, the entire Blood Soul Army is preparing for battle! Zhang Yun!"

"The end is here!"

"Lead [-] soldiers and set off, and pay close attention to the forces on the east side of the river!"

"As ordered!"

"Pass down the order, and the whole county will bring filial piety for one month to honor His Majesty!"

"promise!"

Although Zhao Xiang didn't care about the emperor, he still had to do what should be done.

"That's it, let's all go down." Zhao Xiang said in a deep voice.Everyone said goodbye to Zhao Xiang and left.

Two people stayed, Xue Ge and Zhang Xun.Zhao Xiang looked at them.

Zhang Xun cupped his hands and spoke first, "My lord, there will be one thing to attend to at the end."

"speak!"

"The farming system comes from the farming and warfare system of the former Qin Dynasty. But it is not suitable for Changshan today."

Zhao Xiang's expression moved slightly: "Oh?"

Zhang Xun looked calm, and continued: "The plowing and fighting system can certainly obtain a large number of reserve soldiers. If there are too many soldiers, there will be more, but they are not elite. When it comes to wartime, it may not be very effective."

Hearing this, Zhao Xiang turned his attention to Xue Ge again: "Is this what the military division also means?"

Xue Ge went out to salute:

"Yes, my lord. The reason why the former Qin Dynasty was able to rely on farming and warfare was because there were constant wars at that time. But now the Yellow Turban Party is gone. Although there are minor disturbances in the world, there are no major disturbances."

After a pause, Xue Ge continued:

"Xun Xiuruo's idea is good. But rigidly imposing the farming and warfare system will only quickly consume the surplus labor of the people. It is of little use."

Zhao Xiang squeezed the root of the mountain, looked down at the two people below, and sighed softly: "If, this world will be said to be about to be chaotic?"

"My lord, soldiers are more expensive than many. Besides, Ge has a better proposal."

"We can reform the garrison system. Divide the county sergeants into three classes. The first class trains full-time and does not need to work in agriculture. The second class needs to train for six months a year, and farms when the farming is busy. The third class trains during slack periods. The time is no less than one month a year. month. There are three grades of soldiers, and they receive salaries according to their grades."

"Good!" Zhao Xiang slammed Jie: "Cai Ji, go and order, just follow what Meng Ke said."

"No!" Zhang Xun took the order and left.

In September, the golden autumn is crisp.Zhang He reported that there was indeed something strange in Hedong.

Sure enough, it came!Zhao Xiang's eyes were full of sharpness: "Come here, please come over here."

Xue Ge listened to Zhao Xiang's thoughts.But he shook his head: "My lord, this is not right."

"Why?" What Zhao Xiang has always thought about is to replace Dong Zhuo's position in history.Of course he wouldn't be so foolish as to act like a tyrant.

If you can get what you want without paying too much, Zhao Xiang naturally wants to give it a try.

Shortcuts, everyone wants to take.

Xue Ge frowned and said:

"Hedong is Luoyang Beihu. It is only separated by the Yellow River. The Lord wants to lead the army to Luoyang, but it is separated by a county."

"It takes three or four days for the infantry to arrive in a county, no matter how much they march. During these three or four days, I am afraid that the order of the governor of Jizhou will come down. Moreover, the relationship between the lord and the Hebei gentry is not very harmonious. At that time, it will be a question of whether the lord can keep Changshan under the verbal criticism. Now Changshan has a population of 80, and there are many officials who are very greedy."

Zhao Xiang frowned tightly: "What Meng Ke means is that the general can only stand still?"

Xue Ge nodded: "The geography is not harmonious, so we can only wait and see how things change."

When Zhao Xiang was struggling, Xun Yan hurriedly found Zhao Xiang: "Master."

Although his face was very anxious, Xun Yan still bowed politely: "Prefect Han Fu was promoted as the shepherd of Jizhou three days ago. He sent a fast horse to send the order and ordered the Lord to go to Yecheng to have an audience."

Zhao Xiang's expression became very ugly in an instant.Xue Ge said quietly from the side: "I'm afraid the audience is false, the lord is under house arrest, and the land of Changshan is taken away, is it true?"

Xun Yan looked embarrassed: "Han Fu has become the state shepherd, and shepherds for the emperor. But there is nothing he can do."

Zhao Xiang said coldly at this time: "Xiu Ruo, send someone to answer. He said that he will be seriously ill by accident, and he will not be able to recover from the illness. It will take some time for the audience."

Xue Ge smiled slightly: "Good strategy."

Xun Yan woke up like a dream, and hurried to act.

Zhao Xiang shook his head: "After all, it's just a stopgap measure."

"Korean Festival!" Zhao Xiang spit out these three words from his mouth, his face was full of hostility.

"Master, there is one more thing." Xue Ge reported to Zhao Xiang:
"After the battle between our army and the Hedong soldiers and the Heishan army, Zhang Yan, the leader of the bandit, fled. He pulled up another army in Heishan. He didn't dare to go to Jizhou again. Instead, he plundered the population in Bingzhou to develop the army."

Zhao Xiang rubbed his chin: "Heishan is a high place to look at Changshan, but it is also a trouble. And it is located at the junction of the three states of Hebei and You, so it is not easy to handle."

Xue Ge cupped his hands: "I heard that Youzhou Mu Liu Yugang is upright, why don't my lord ask him for help?"

"Well..." Zhao Xiang nodded lightly: "Let Zipeng go for a while, and Bomou will accompany him to protect him."

Xue Ge respectfully agreed.

At the Hanoi ferry, Dong Zhuo looked at the magnificent Yellow River.A surge of pride gushed out from his chest.

After crossing this river, you will arrive at Luoyang!
In another month, Ben will let everyone in the world know.Dong Zhongying's prestige!
Dong Zhuo thought so, behind him.Six thousand sturdy soldiers lined up in a neat formation, waiting quietly.

On his side, Li Ru's chest also rose and fell violently.

Dong Zhuo's gamble this time was a world-shattering gamble!
As resourceful as Li Ru, he was also thrilled for the next opening.
