Zhang Xiu, the Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

Although the official position and title have not been obtained.

But this did not prevent Zhang Xiu from working with this plan. The main thing is that civil does not wait for anyone.

The time came to the spring of the fifth year of Zhongping. Spring is in full bloom, and farming is about to begin. Zhang Xiu's army had enough grain and grass, plundered the grain of Caohan City, and before Dong Zhuo left, he also left some military rations.

This grain is enough for the soldiers and civilians under his command to eat until this autumn's harvest.

But if the spring ploughing of these two or three hundred thousand people is not carried out and the autumn harvest is in vain, then let alone garrisoning the frontier and fighting with Han Sui and Ma Teng, I am afraid that the army will collapse immediately.

It was Zhang Xiu and Xi Zhicai, as well as Jia Xu, who was temporarily helping, who immediately took action.

On this day, the sun was shining. But the early spring in the northwest is still unusually cold, and the snow melts everywhere.

South of Xiangping City.

A large number of people and the defenders migrated to Linwei, Qingshui, and Luoyang respectively. Among them, Pang De and Gongdu led 10,000 people to Linwei City first.

Wang Shi led some soldiers and horses to Qingshui, and Zhang Long led some soldiers and horses to Luoyang. Now Zhang Xiujun's infantry army is also insufficient, and after arriving at the place, the two still need to recruit strong soldiers, train soldiers, forge weapons, and reserve baggage.

The four of them and all three of them left first.

Zhang Xiu, together with Jia Xu, Xi Zhicai, Hu Che'er and his family, led 15,000 cavalry composed of Qiang and Han to finally leave.

The target is also Linwei City.

In front of the city gate, the neighing of war horses was incessant, and there were thousands of cavalry.

The words "Zhang" and "Hu" are flying, but there is no voice quietly. Zhang Xiu's army was strictly disciplined, and although this cavalry had followed Zhang Xiu for a short time, they had learned to be quiet.

Zhang Xiu faced the city gate, beside him was Dian Wei, and in front of him were Liu Pi and Xi Chong.

"General Liu. This Xiangping City will be handed over to you. Zhang Xiu glanced at Xi Chong when he said this, and said: "Remember to practice military practice every day, and don't forget to read." Let Mr. Xi, read more books for you, be a good general, make contributions, and die well. "

No. Liu Bi promised and bowed to Zhang Xiu with Xi Chong.

Since following Zhang Xiu, Liu Bi, under the supervision of Zhang Xiu, listened to history books to watch the biographies of famous generals, and listened to the drama to read military books. He also learned from Pound the method of training troops and military formations.

This time he went north to Liangzhou, and together with Zhang Xiu, he also had a lot of experience. The whole person seems to have been washed again, and it seems to be a lot more simple and unpretentious, but in fact, it is calm and spicy.

Now he led 4,000 troops to guard Xiangping City, not only grateful to Zhang Xiu for his trust, but also felt that his shoulders were heavy, and he had no joy alone.

For the general, the general should be worried, the attack must be taken, and the defense must be solid.

If you can't do it, won't you live up to Zhang Xiu's kindness? Zhang Xiu

looked at the particularly calm red-faced Liu Pi, and nodded with satisfaction, it is good that the country is easy to change its nature, but sometimes it can be changed.

Shame and courage, the prodigal son turned back, and his daughter was not exchanged.

After telling Liu Pi a few more words, Zhang Xiu turned over and got on his horse, and then together with Dian Wei, he commanded the 15,000 cavalry and went to Linwei City.

Linwei City is located on the north bank of Weishui, a large river that flows eastward into the Yellow River. This Weishui River is formed by the erosion of the river, and even the Guanzhong Plain is also a fertile land formed by the accumulation of Weishui over time.

The 200,000 migrated people were divided into four divisions, and now only 50,000 or 60,000 people have followed Zhang Xiu to Linwei City.

The next day, in the middle of the day.

Zhang Xiu led the army to Linwei City. When Zhang Xiulerma was outside the North City Gate, he frowned.

It was the first time Zhang Xiu had come to this city, although he knew that it was small and dilapidated. But when he saw it today, it still made him sigh.

I saw that the rammed earth wall in front of me had become potholes after being washed away by the rain, and the city was overgrown with withered weeds, swaying in the wind.

The gate tower was also crooked, as if it was about to collapse in the next moment.

The city gate opened, and a middle-aged man who looked like a county magistrate was greeting Zhang Xiu with the county officials.

The city is so dilapidated, but these county orders and officials are fat and strong, and their faces are full of red light. Zhang Xiu sighed, she had to judge people by their appearance, and she was suspicious.

Then Zhang Xiu looked at these people and suddenly found that one of them was a little outstanding. But he quickly withdrew his gaze.

"Lingzhou Yan of Linwei County, I have seen General Zhang. The middle-aged county magistrate bowed to Zhang Xiu, and the rest of the officials also saluted.

Zhang Xiu turned over and dismounted, helped Zhou Yan up, and said with a smile: "The state and county orders are polite."

After some greetings at the city gate, Zhang Xiu ordered the army and the people to be stationed outside. And Du entered the city with Dian Wei, Xi Zhicai, Jia Xu and others.

Not only is this city broken, but the roads in the city are also potholes. Moreover, the people of the city are emaciated and have vegetables.

Zhang Xiu suddenly saw a skinny woman, walking on the street with a child waiting to be fed, and holding a little boy with a little big head but skinny in her hand.

On such a cold day, the little boy was only wearing a tattered single coat, and his lips were purple from the cold.

Although Zhang Xiu is utilitarian and kills people like hemp, he is also a little sympathetic when he sees this. Nailema stopped, and in the embarrassed eyes of the county magistrate Zhou Yan and other officials, he turned over and dismounted, and asked the woman: "Eldest sister, where are you going?"

This woman saw Zhang Xiu's fresh clothes and angry horses, her face was like a splendid face, surrounded by knights, and there were many people wearing official uniforms. couldn't help but be afraid in his heart, and said in a panic: "I returned to my lordship, but I went to the market to buy some food."

Zhang Xiu knew that there was a fake, in such a cold weather, if he carried his child on

the street, would the child get sick and freeze to death? In winter, if there is no clothes to wear, the child can lie in the futon, at least it is much stronger than blowing the wind on the street.

Sure enough, after Zhang Xiu asked again and again, the woman couldn't hold on, but said it truthfully. She is surnamed Liu, and her husband's surname is Wang.

I have a pair of children.

Now the world is difficult, and their family is having a very hard time. Yesterday her husband fell ill, the family lost his income, and he had to buy medicine for his husband.

Seeing that a pair of children could no longer be supported, she planned to sell her eldest son. Don't ask for any gold or silver, human life is worthless now.

I just hope that the eldest son can be a slave of a big family and have a life to live.

After listening to Wang Liu's words, most of the people around him remained the same color, including Dian Wei. Now the world is difficult, human life is as thin as paper, and there are too many such things.

But Xi Zhicai and a few people still showed sympathy, including the county official that Zhang Xiu had noticed.

On the one hand, Zhang Xiu is indeed moved by compassion, and on the other hand, he is also buying people's hearts.

"The eldest sister sells her son, and we are guilty of waiting. Zhang Xiu sighed, turned to Dian Wei and said, "Go and get a bag of rice outside the city." "

No. Dian Wei said yes, rode his horse and galloped away, and soon after, he came back with a bag of fifty or sixty pounds of rice.

Zhang Xiu asked Dian Wei to carry the bag of rice home with Wang Liu, and by the way, he asked the soldiers to ask for a doctor to see Wang Liu's husband.

Wang Liu was a little incredulous at first when he heard this, and then he reacted, kowtowing gratefully, but was helped up by Zhang Xiu, and then turned around and left step by step.

After the woman left, Zhang Xiu looked back at the county magistrate Zhou Yan and other county officials, and they all showed uncomfortable expressions. Zhang Xiu didn't reprimand, raised his head and said to Xi Zhicai: "We still have enough food in the army. Zhicai can send someone to check the people in the city, and if it is really difficult, write it down, and provide rice and grain every month. "

No. Xi Zhicai suddenly agreed, and then bowed to Zhang Xiu and bowed to the end.

This is the difference between Xi Zhicai and Jia Xu.

Xi Zhicai saw that the people had dishes, and he was moved, and the righteousness was colorful. Jia Xu has a cold personality, but his face is expressionless.

Zhang Xiu knew the temperament of the two of them, so he used drama to manage the people, and used Jia Xu to counsel the military and manage the logistics of the Qiang Lieutenant Department.

King Ming employs people, because of talent.

Liu Bei used Zhuge Liang as the prime minister, and the usage was the mastermind, which is the reason. If Liu Bei is using the method as the prime minister, it is not impossible to use Kong Ming as the mastermind.

And when he first ruled the four counties, he also had to brush up on the people's hearts first. Building bridges and paving roads, caring for the elderly and orphans, and caring for the poor are all good deeds that can win the hearts of the people.

Although he did sympathize with the woman just now, the purpose was deep and direct.

Seeing Zhang Xiu's actions, most of the officials such as Zhou Yan showed unnatural colors, but only the official who was looked at by Zhang Xiu alone had his eyes lit up and took a deep look at Zhang Xiu.

After the episode, Zhang Xiu turned on his horse again and came to the county office with everyone. The city is dilapidated, and the people are struggling to survive. However, this county government is extremely magnificent and strong.

Zhang Xiu glanced deeply, but there was no extra movement. Under the leadership of the county commander Zhou Yan, he came to the back hall and sat down.

Zhang Xiu did not refuse, and sat down on the first seat. Zhou Yan sat on the side, and Xi Zhicai, Jia Xu and the county officials sat on both sides.

After sitting upright, Zhang Xiu said in a loud voice: "Ma Teng and Han Sui raised hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in Liangzhou to rebel against the imperial court. Most of Liangzhou has fallen. There are only four county towns such as Qingshui, Linwei, Xiangping and Luoyang. Now that Dong Gong's class has returned to the dynasty, I am responsible for guarding the four counties as a fake school captain. Now that you are new to the city, please take care of it. After

saying that, Zhang Xiu bowed his hand to Zhou Yan and other county officials, and his posture was very low.

General Zhang was serious. Only with a general in charge of the defense of the four counties can we sit back and relax. Zhou Yan and other county orders did not slack off, and returned the courtesy deeply.

Zhang Xiu nodded, and then changed the conversation and said, "Now that I have just arrived, I have two jobs to do. Linwei City is broken and small, not enough to defend. I plan to expand the city and build a new city. "

The people outside the city were brought back by me from the area of Zaohan. This year's tuntian, next year's grain harvest. Can be munitional. I would like you to cooperate with the work of Tuntian. I don't know what you think?"

When the words fell, Zhang Xiu raised his head, and looked around at everyone with a pair of tiger eyes.

Without much thought, Zhang Xiu knew that there would definitely be opposition.

The Han Dynasty was an agrarian society, and the fields were second to none. Historically, Cao Cao was in the northern Tuntian, also because the north had been destroyed, and there were things in the wasteland.

Although the population of Linwei City has decreased sharply, the basic order is still there. I am afraid that this land is concentrated in the hands of the big clans, and trying to get the land from them is tantamount to killing your parents.

But if they dare to resist, Zhang Xiu will really dare to kill.
