The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Vol 5 Chapter 23: Soshan 0 ride into the deep (14)

The army of the Han Dynasty was organized according to the two-five system: two troops and one shi, five tiaras and one team, two teams and one tun, usually two tuns are one song and five songs are one. шШщm{no *pop*window*small*said*net}: The number of troops in the first division is about 1,000 or 2,000. The head of the department will be the captain of the school, and those who do not have a captain will be the military Sima.

At most, there were thousands of soldiers in the Zhao State, and they were organized into two divisions, each with a military commander. Later, because there were too many people who died and escaped, they were reduced to one division after the death of the former Lieutenant of Zhao State. The military commander in Li was concurrently served by the Prime Minister Cao Ye.

After today's trial, nearly 1,000 of the old 1,200 county soldiers were eliminated, and only 300 people remained.

More than 300 people are far from enough for a single department. With the consent of the state minister Liu Heng, Xun Zhen once again reduced the number of the county soldiers.

First compile these three hundred people into three camps, two infantry camps and one cavalry camp, each with more than 100 people; then combine the two infantry camps into one infantry song, and at the same time combine the cavalry camps and the empty camps The more than 100 war horses were also compiled into a cavalry song. Zhao Guojun soldiers originally had more than 200 cavalry soldiers. In this test, more than 100 people were eliminated, but only the people were eliminated, and the horses were still kept.

In addition to the highest commander, Qu Junhou, the military officers on both foot and cavalry, all the other officers, from the colony chief to the corporal chief, were all selected from the prefectures with excellent performance in the examination. Qu Junhou, Xun Zhen intends to appoint Handan Rong's younger sister-in-law, the prime minister Cao Shi Luguang as the infantry Qu's military waiter, and he personally leads the cavalry Qu.

He told Liu Heng of his plan, and Liu Heng agreed without objection.

In this way, Zhao Guojun, who was originally six songs and one division, has become two songs. Although the number of people has been reduced a lot, the combat effectiveness has been significantly improved. The remaining three hundred or so people are at least qualified warriors with crossbow bows, horns, slings, pulls, swords and shields. Can be called elite.

Not only has the fighting power been improved, but Xun Zhen has also successfully gained control.

On the one hand, the sons and slaves of the powerful and powerful family members of the county soldiers were almost eliminated by the sand, and there was no need to worry about the people below who would not obey the orders; Guang, one is himself, and it is equivalent to completely emptying Liu Heng and Cao Ye, the prime minister's soldier.

Conversely, for these three hundred or so soldiers, Xun Zhen and Lu Guang were their commanders, and they could also accept it.

Xun Zhen was the lieutenant, and it was only natural for him to lead them. First of all, Lu Guang is a native of Zhao State, and secondly, he has been a soldier in the county for a long time. He has been a military officer of the county for several years.

The process of downsizing was very fast, and it only took half an hour to complete.

After disbanding the commander and ordering him to return to the camp, Xun Zhen and Liu Heng took a car back to their residence.

Xun Zhen's work has a beginning and an end. In the morning, he went to pick up Liu Heng, and in the evening, he also abide by his duty as a "subordinate official". On the way back to the mansion, he sat in the car and summed up all the tests he had done today, and he consciously gained a lot.

Improving the combat effectiveness of the county guards and successfully gaining control over the county guards are not the most important, but the most important thing is that he has initially established his prestige in the county guards.

There will be five virtues: "wisdom, faith, benevolence, strictness, and courage". Looking at what he has done today, it can be said that it is strict to punish evil demonstrations, that it is courageous to show off martial arts, and that keeping promises is a letter. In one day, he showed the commander three of the five virtues. As for the two virtues of "wisdom" and "benevolence", "benevolence" is his forte. A few days ago, every time he went to the county barracks, he was a light vehicle, patrolling the camp on foot, and greeting the soldiers. Not to mention his own wisdom, only the abilities of Xun You and Xi Zhicai are enough for him to show his "wisdom" to the soldiers in the future. Over time, these 300-odd county soldiers will become another team at the bottom of his family apart from his private army.

The control of the county **** was in his hands, and it was time to talk about the city defense.

Xu Zhongbu has already taken over the city defense with the cooperation of Lu Guang.

There are only three hundred officers in the county now, and more than three hundred people are obviously not enough to defend the city. Moreover, these three hundred people have just been reorganized into three villages, and they are not familiar with each other. They still need to run in and practice. Go to defend the city again. The control of this city defense is also in hand.

The next step is to intervene in the security of the county.

Xun You, Xi Zhicai, and Xuan Kang all knew about Xun Zhen's series of plans. As soon as he returned to the lieutenant's mansion, Xuankang got out of the car from the back, chased him in three or two steps, and couldn't wait to ask, "Master Xun, when do you plan to summon the Handan County lieutenant?"

Handan has left and right officers, and they are responsible for the security of the county.

Xun Zhen smiled and said, "Don't worry."

Xuankang was stunned and said, "Don't worry? Didn't you tell the Prime Minister a few days ago that it is time to rectify the security in this county? Didn't the Prime Minister agree? In this case, Jun will try it in the county today, and kill him. The commander of the colony alone, expelling nearly a thousand officials and soldiers, has a great reputation, so why not take this opportunity and take advantage of this reputation to summon the Handan County Lieutenant to rectify the security of the county?

Xun Zhen smiled and said, "I'm going to travel to various counties in the country in two days. I'll talk about this when I return from my trip."

"Do you want to travel to the county?"

The lieutenant, like the prime minister, has the power to run the county.

Xun Zhen nodded.

Xuankang followed him into the hall and said to himself, "I was assassinated in the street a few days ago, and today I have just reduced the number of soldiers of the county. I think it is reasonable, Xunjun shouldn't go to the county in the near future! Why did he suddenly say that he must Counties? ..., yes!" Suddenly realized that there were no outsiders on the left and right, and whispered, "Xunjun, do you want to control the city defense and security of the five counties in the country in one fell swoop?"

Xun Zhen was walking towards the main seat in the hall. Hearing Xuankang's words, he looked back at him, smiled and joined Xun You, Xi Zhicai, Li Bo, Xin Ai and others who entered the hall and said, "Uncle Ye A thousand miles in a day!" He praised Xuankang for his rapid progress. This is to admit that Xuan Kang guessed his mind.

Xuan Kang received the compliment and felt embarrassed, and his face was slightly red. Seeing Xun You, Xi Zhicai, Li Bo, and Xin Ai all looking at him with smiles, he suddenly realized again and said: "So all the lords already knew Xun Jun's mind. ,..." He patted his head, "But I'm clumsy and slow, and I didn't know it until now!"

"It's not too late to know now.... Where's Gongzai?"

Lu Guang had just taken up the post of Infantry Qu's military waiter, but he did not come to the lieutenant's mansion with Xun Zhen, but went to the county barracks. Handan Rong came back with him, but he was not seen in the hall now. Xi Zhicai replied: "He didn't enter the mansion just now, and it seems that someone outside the mansion is waiting for him."

"Oh? Who?"

"I don't know. I only caught a glimpse when I entered the mansion. The man was in his thirties. He was short and ugly. County people."

In the Han Dynasty, people who were less than six feet and two inches tall were called "stop long". The Han Dynasty's six feet and two inches is converted into a later conversion unit, which is about one meter, four or three. Even in the Han Dynasty, whose average height was far less than that of later generations, such a stature was still very low. In a county with a population of over 10,000, there may be twenty or thirty people who quit. He is ugly and looks ugly. If he is from the county of Handan, Xi Zhicai has been in the county for half a month, and he often goes out. If he sees it, he will definitely have an impression.

Li Bo said, "Shut up? Are you looking for the master for this year's affairs?" Then he shook his head and denied his speculation, saying, "No, the master is the lieutenant's master, not the prime minister's office. Master, I don’t care about civil affairs, even if it’s for the sake of the people, I shouldn’t come to the master, …, I think it’s an old acquaintance of the master.”

People who quit the gang are a disadvantaged group. The Han Dynasty had a lot of preferential care policies for the people who quit the gang. In order to ensure that these policies can be accurately implemented on the gang-gang and avoid someone pretending to be gang-gang to escape the state’s taxation and labor, Locally, the management of household registration for those who have struck down is very complete and strict. Every year in August, when the counties are counted, the counties and counties have to make a separate book of strikes.

While he was talking, Handan Rong walked in from outside the courtyard in the twilight.

Xuankang's eyes were sharp, and he saw it first. With a "huh", he said, "Xijun, is that the person you're talking about who quit?"

Everyone in the hall turned to look outside the hall, and behind Handan Rong followed a person, short and ugly, with a high crown, wearing black clothes, long clothes dragging the ground, and a short sword in his belt. In the eyes of everyone, Handan Rong and this man walked up the steps to the front of the hall, took off his shoes at the door, and entered the hall.

Xun Zhen thought of one person and thought: "Handan Rong recommended two people to me the day before yesterday, one Lu Guang and the other Cheng Jia. He brought this person to the hall and came to see me. Could it be this person?" He got up to greet me and asked with a smile Said, "Gongzai, who is this?"

"This person is Yi Yang Junjie, who was recommended by Rong to the lieutenant the day before. His surname is Cheng Jia, and his word is Junchang."

The short and ugly person lifted up his clothes, went down to the hall to worship, and said loudly, "Yi Yang Cheng Jia greets the lieutenant."

Xun Zhen said in his heart, "I heard the name of Yiyang Cheng Jia from an old official in the mansion long before Handan Rong recommended him, but I didn't expect such an amazing appearance."

It's not astonishing in appearance, as Xi Zhicai said: "Short and ugly".

Not only did Cheng Jia have a huge nose, but at a glance, Xun Zhen saw that there were black marks on his nose. He had an upside-down mustache, which was sparse and sparse, and the beard under his chin was also sparse. As for Pai Long, it is about six feet five inches up and down.

Although he is ugly and short, Xun Zhen is not a person who judges people by appearance. He comes down from the hall with enthusiasm, walks in front of him, wants to personally help him up, and smiles: "I have heard about Chengjun for a long time. I have come from Gui County, and I am thirsty for virtuous people. Although I know your lord’s aspirations and travel far away, after being recommended by the public minister, I still take the liberty of spreading the word about Gui County. ."

Xun Zhen was thoughtful and thoughtful. Originally, she wanted to say "I have heard about Cheng Jun's high reputation for a long time" and "Zhen Jun Zhi Xing is high." "Qingyuan".

Cheng Jia was supported by him, but refused to get up. He crouched on the ground, looked up at Xun Zhen, and said, "Jia, an ugly and dirty person, how dare you call him 'zhixingqingyuan'? As a reward, I would like to congratulate Zhao State for the people of Zhao first."

He knelt down on the ground and refused to get up, and Xun Zhen couldn't force him to pull him up.

Cheng Jia didn't know what he had eaten at noon, and when he spoke, his mouth was full of bad breath. Xun Zhen was close to him, and he could smell the smell. He took two steps back and said, "I only passed down the letter the other day to get rid of him. He's here today, it's not unpleasant, but I'm not good at retreating, it hurts his intention to serve." Resisting the retreat, he asked with a smile, "Congratulations for Zhao people? What is the meaning of this?"

"Lieutenant Jiawen has been tested in the school field today, and his prestige has been established. The art of war said: 'Rewards are like the sun and the moon, trust is like the four seasons, orders are like axes and tomahawks, commanders are like cadres, and soldiers don't have to be killed. It's unheard of." The lieutenant will definitely be able to use it! The lieutenant's famous general, the county soldier's warrior, with the bright of the lieutenant, makes the warrior attack the thief, why not worry about not breaking it?

Xun You, Xi Zhicai, Xin Ai, Xuan Kang, Li Bo and others in the audience looked at each other with different expressions when they heard the words.

Xun You smiled. Xi Zhicai laughed. Li Bo wanted to laugh but did not laugh. Xuankang blinked and said to himself, "This person is quite talkative." Xin Ai sneered and said to himself, "Not only is he ugly, he is also a flatterer."

Xun Zhen seemed to have the same expression as usual, but she withdrew the hand that was supporting Cheng Jia, took two steps back, and then smiled slowly: "There are so many officers who are unusable, and after all the trials today, there are only three hundred or so cavalry left. , to attack the thief with this, although I will know, I am afraid that it is not enough!"

"Why worry about this!"

"Oh? What is Cheng Jun's opinion? I would like to hear it."

"Jia has two strategies for the lieutenant."

"What two strategies?"

"Jia is not talented. I used to be in the village, and I like to make friends with knights. Among the group of thieves in the western and black valleys, there are several thieves' leaders and Jia are old acquaintances. Jia is willing to recruit him as a lieutenant. All of them are old and old. Kou, you have been in the mountains for a long time. With this number of people, the lieutenant knows the details of the bandits. This is one of them."

"What about the second?"

"The yellow turban is newly broken, the people are displaced, and there are many refugees in Zhao State. These refugees have no food or clothing, but they can recruit them with rice. The lieutenant can send people to various counties and recruit them with corn. Select the young and strong to fill the county soldiers. In this way, it not only enriches the county soldiers, but also prevents them from throwing thieves under the pressure of hunger and cold, and indirectly weakens the strength of the thieves. The second is also."

When everyone present heard Cheng Jia say these two strategies, Xun You, Xi Zhicai, and Li Bo nodded slightly, and Xuan Kang said in their heart, "How many thieves does he know? This man looks ugly and short, but he is also A heroic man."

Xun, Xi, Li, and Xuan all changed their views on Cheng Jia, but Xin A still sneered at the corner of his mouth. Xin Ai is an informal, unconcerned person, and can accept anyone, except for those who are flattering and flattering.

Cheng Jia went on to say: "With the lieutenant's wise and good plan as the leader, with the leader of the thief as the inner responder, with the expanded county officers as the forerunner, and then with the lieutenant's family and soldiers as the righteous followers, to attack the thieves, we must It can be broken."

Xun Zhen was overjoyed, took the first two steps, lifted it up, and said, "Do you know the leader of the thief in the mountains?"

Cheng Jia stood up with Xun Zhen's help this time, and replied, "Exactly."

"Would you like to surrender for me?"

"Exactly."

"Aren't you afraid of being left in the mountains by thieves?"

"The lieutenant doesn't use Jia for his vulgarity, but treats him with a high position under his door. Jia's going through soup and swords is not enough to repay the lieutenant's love, let alone going into the mountains to recruit thieves?"

"Okay!"

Xun Zhen patted Cheng Jia's arms affectionately, lowered her head and smiled at him, thinking: "It's not surprising to recruit refugees as county guards, but he actually knows a few bandits and is willing to recruit for me. ? This is really nice." Dian Wei, Yuan Zhongqing, Zuo Bohou and others who were guarded outside the hall, "Send the table and table for Cheng Jun, and serve soup."

Cheng Jia saw Xun Zhen smiling happily, and laughed happily, and said to Xun Zhen with a smile, "Jia tomorrow will go to recruit those thieves for the lieutenant. After seeing them, Jia De bows to them first, thank you them."

"Thank you for thanking them? But why?"

"Without these few people, there would be no way for Jia to be the lieutenant's leader in summoning thieves. Without this strategy, Jia would have been expelled from the hall by the lieutenant at this moment! How could he get the treatment of being seated and drinking soup! "

He was right. Xin Ai hates flatterers, and Xun Zhen doesn't like it either. Previously, "the county guards only kept more than 300 cavalry to attack thieves. I'm afraid they won't be enough." This sentence was just to test Cheng Jia's talent. He couldn't be satisfied. In order to take care of Handan Rong's face, he certainly wouldn't expel him on the spot, but he would "stay away" from Cheng Jia, who "only flattered". Now that Cheng Jia is willing to recruit the leader of the bandit for him, although Cheng Jia is flattering, he is worthy of respect.

Xun Zhen was distraught by Cheng Jia's words, without any embarrassment, he laughed, UU reading www.uukanshu.com smiled at Gu Handan Rong, and said: "Gongzai, I heard that the people who are good people are often also good people. , Jun is a brilliant person, and Junyou is indeed a great talent, and he is witty and humorous."

1, stop.

In addition to people who are six feet two inches tall, people with congenital or acquired disabilities, such as hunchbacks, lame legs, and facial trauma, are also called "stoppers". Such as Chen Tang, his arms could not be bent or stretched, so he claimed: "The generals and ministers are all wise and bright, and the minor ministers are not enough to plan big things."

In the Han Dynasty, there were many preferential treatment policies for those who quit, such as today's Disabled Persons Protection Law and preferential policies for the disabled. For example, people who quit the period can be exempted from labor service, military service, or only half of the service, depending on their disability. For example, those who served half of the corvée were only engaged in light labor. Another example was that people who quit the gang do not have to pay oral and computational fu. Another example is that from time to time, the imperial court issued an decree to give those who quit the gang a corn, cloth, and another example. Ba Long's parents do not separate from their son, and if an only child lives with Ba Long's parents, then the only child does not need to participate in the labor of leaving home to transport food.

Because there were various preferential treatment policies for those who had quit, the two Han dynasties also had perfect and strict household registration management for those who quit. The practical preferential treatment of people also avoids someone pretending to be a quitter and evading the state's taxation and labor.
