Chapter 1016: Ten Years

"Hey, I can't stop for a moment."

"Things in the north are really a headache. Let's wait until the beginning of spring next year, but don't bother with it for now, come and drink with us, and get together today, and don't talk about these headaches, just to celebrate your homecoming. ”

After Liu Zheng learned some things about the Xianbei tribe, he didn't plan to continue to understand it in depth.

No matter how much you know about these things now, it won't help, anyway, it's winter now, and the people in the north can't fight it, so it's better to take advantage of this time to take a good rest.

This banquet was drunk until late at night before it dispersed.

Liu Zheng hasn't had a few sips of wine with his old brothers for a long time.

Speaking of which, he thought of Zhou Cang, who was far away in Funan, as well as Gan Ning, Huang Zhong and others stationed in Hanzhong.

These people are his old brothers.

There are many of them, and Liu Zheng has known them for more than 10 years.

When Liu Zheng had just crossed over to the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, he met a lot of friends in the Yellow Turban Army, especially Xu Huang, who was also a brother who was born and died with him back then, and the time was exactly 10 years.

10 years is not a long time, and it is not too short, after all, there are not many 10 years in life.

These people who can follow Liu Zheng to fight the world here are now either in high positions or have wives and sons.

It can be said that Liu Zheng did not treat them badly.

However, when people get older, they will be a little nostalgic.

In recent years, because the territory has gradually become larger, Liu Zheng has not seen those old friends for a long time.

Taking advantage of the Chinese New Year now, Liu Zheng moved out a batch of Sanliangye that he had treasured in the previous two years.

Have a good time with these brothers.

If he couldn't be there, he would send someone to bring some jars of wine.

Let the soldiers personally deliver it to them, so that they can feel Liu Zheng's love for them.

At Liu Zheng's current level, simply rewarding these generals and strategists under his command with money is actually no longer able to satisfy their hearts.

After all, many people are no longer short of money.

There are some people who have a rich family background and don't value money very much, they value status.

And the status, Liu Zheng has already given them, all of them are the leaders in Liu Zheng's army, and the earliest group of people who followed Liu Zheng were either major generals, colonels, and colonels.

After the end of the New Year, in order to encourage the morale of the military, Liu Zheng will inevitably select a few people and promote them to the rank of lieutenant general. Then they were stationed in different places to defend one side on behalf of Liu Zheng.

Of course, before that, Liu Zheng wanted to catch up with them first and stabilize his relationship with them.

If money and status can't play a very effective role, the only thing that can win them over is to use friendship.

A pot of Sanliangye that can't be drunk elsewhere at all, a few words of Liu Zheng's concern for him.

This was more touching than Liu Zheng directly rewarding them with some gold, silver and jewelry.

They will also cherish the friendship with Liu Zheng even more, after all, they have been together for so many years. Everything they have now is given to them by Liu Zheng.

This can also be regarded as Liu Zheng, and there are enough Sanliangye brewed in the first two years.

Otherwise, he would have to send too many people, and he might not be able to send so much wine.

A banquet was held in Jianye City, and the officials of all sizes who stayed in the capital were entertained.

These three days. He made festivals for people all over the country. Let those people rest and rejoice at the same time.

It's okay to give these officials under your command a time to rest.

After all, they have been busy all year, and it is time to rest and rest.

For those who were unable to attend, Liu Zheng could only ask someone to send his own blessings and some small gifts.

A few days remaining. Liu Zheng did not get close to these officials, but planned to accompany his family well.

After all, he now has many concubines in his harem. Even if you are alone for a day, it will take a long time.

If it weren't for the fact that he had recently learned Hua Tuo's Five Fowl Opera, he felt that his body seemed to have become better, and he would really feel a little tired and powerless.

Calm times always pass quickly, after a heavy snowfall.

The time has officially entered March 184.

At the beginning of spring.

After last year's battle, Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses lost a lot.

Last winter, on the one hand, he appeased the soldiers who had died in battle, and in addition to giving great compensation to their families, he began to recruit troops in various places.

The soldiers and horses lost in the Hanzhong area had to be sent to defend the town.

Although some of Sun Jian's soldiers and horses stationed in Jingzhou came to support, Hanzhong has always been a thorn in Liu Zheng's throat, like a fish in the throat, if he can't beat it down, then he can only send a large army to guard Shangyong, in case the soldiers and horses in Hanzhong will suddenly kill his hinterland.

Naturally, part of the soldiers and horses requisitioned were transferred from the Yangzhou area, and the other part was formed by the soldiers and horses under Liu Pet of Yuzhou to form a new legion.

I started to work on conscription last winter, and I trained for almost three months. Now that spring is at the beginning of spring, it is time for them to go to Shangyong to replace Sun Jian's army.

Although there were only 30,000 soldiers and horses recruited by these new recruits, and all of them were new soldiers, there were still some soldiers and horses of Huang Zhong in Shangyong.

If you mix it up, it's not too much of a problem. After all, after they reach the top, there will be no war immediately. You can also be responsible for training in the Shangyong area, and after one or two years of experience, it is enough to fight on the battlefield.

Regarding the conscription, Liu Zheng made Chen Deng responsible.

Chen Deng completed it very beautifully, and at the beginning of spring, the 30,000 people recruited had already rushed to Shangyong.

At least within two months, they will arrive at Shangyong one after another, which can help Gan Ning and Huang Zhong to defend Shangyong and prevent the invasion of soldiers and horses in the Hanzhong region.

After this incident, Liu Zheng began to think about promoting the ranks of these generals under his command.

Now Liu Zheng has too many places to govern, and the territory is vast, and it is not something that he can manage alone, and he needs several generals to guard the border area.

As far as Liu Zheng is currently considering, Jizhou, Qingzhou, and Xuzhou in the north belong to the Northern Military Region and need a lieutenant general to take charge.

Jingzhou, Yuzhou, and a small part of Hanzhong also need a lieutenant general to manage.

There are also Yangzhou and Jiaozhou.

Funan.

Kyushu Island.

These five military regions have too much to resist, and if Liu Zheng manages them by himself, he may not be able to manage all the affairs of this place in a timely manner.

For example, sometimes, some military situations are urgent, and there is no strong enough commander to guard them.

The news was transmitted back to Liu Zheng in Yangzhou, and it was too late.
