Tianshui in July, the water and grass are abundant, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the moving place is not inferior to Zhongzhou.

With the withdrawal of the Liangzhou army, the tense atmosphere was swept away, and there was an endless stream of people around Shangqi, the base camp where Wang Shi was stationed.

Wang Shici increased his troops in Longshang, and at the beginning it was Shen Yun's Fenwu army as the main force, which opened up the situation by defeating the Tu Ge Wang clan of Luoyang. In the following months, although it has been in a state of confrontation with the Liangzhou army, it has been continuously increasing its troops.

At present, the troops invested by the Wang Division in the entire Longshang have reached 20,000 people, in addition to the elite of the Fenwu Army, it is the Fufeng Wang Division led by Yu Manzhi. And Yu Manzhi was also officially appointed by Xingtai, and he was appointed to supervise the military affairs of Qinzhou and Longyou, and Qiang Zhuhu, as the main general of the Wang Shi in Longshang, officially began to take charge of himself.

"The soldiers of our army fought hard in Longdao, and then became the name of the king's strong martial arts, and they were stupid to get the full position!"

After receiving the appointment order from Xingtai, Shen Yun couldn't help but complain, now he has a lot of prestige in Longshang, and in the end, he was all cheap.

Hearing this anger, Yu Manzhi didn't appreciate it: "The affairs of this realm are complicated and chaotic, you say I want to live in this town?" If there is a choice, I would like to switch with you and lead the elite army to fight for merit in all directions. However, it seems that the princes of Xingtai also know who is talented, and they dare not take this important task lightly to Meng Lang's disciples! ”

After derogating each other for many years, such jokes will naturally not be taken seriously. However, Shen Yun really didn't envy Yu Manzhi's position as a town general in this aspect, so he made a merit in Longshang, and he accumulated meritorious service after the Longshi was pacified. In the entire Kansai War, it was one of the few who could be rewarded with the first-class merit with the commander Huan Xuan.

Recently, he has frequently complained about Yu Manzhi with this, and it is also because after being named the county prince, Xiao Yuandong was very satisfied, and sent several letters in a row saying that Shen Yunquan had today's great merit reward with the Fenwu elite army he created single-handedly. This kind of negative emotion, Shen Yun always has to find another person to pour out.

The young generals of the Xingtai generation have gradually grown from the original young to the backbone of the current royal division, and more and more have taken the position of suppressing the army. But among these generals, if it is the turn of the task to be arduous and the situation faced is complicated, there is no doubt that Longshang, which Yu Manzhi took over, is in the first place.

First of all, in terms of troops, the most powerful troops arranged by the theater in Xingtai are the Qingyan in which Shen Mu sits, with a total of 80,000 people in the front-line army and the military government, which is second only to the Jingzhou Army in the entire Xingtai area.

However, the Jingzhou army was still divided into several departments, while Shen Mu was the main part of Qingyan, and veterans such as Li Hong and Cao Na mainly managed military affairs and cooperated with the military. It can be said that it was the essence of the original Xuzhou Army, and it was all arranged in the lower reaches of the Yellow River theater centered on Taishan County.

However, here in Longshang, although it seems that there are 20,000 garrisons, the Fenwu army is not under the dispatch of Yu Man, and it will be withdrawn to Zhongzhou in the first half of next year at the latest. In the hands of Yu Man, the main force is mainly the more than 6,000 original Tongguan guards of the two armies, and as for the other armies, they are mainly the newly built government soldiers who have not yet passed the test of the Great War in Guanzhong.

In terms of logistics, Longshang Qinzhou is not comparable with other military towns, Xie Ai of Fangtou has his back against the heart of the entire Yuzhou, and the rear of Shen Mu of Qingyan also has Xuzhou, which has already matured in restructuring and operation.

However, in the rear of Longshang, there is only one Guanzhong that is still under construction, which is far from reaching the point of stable output, and the large base of Guanzhong is not only for the supply of Longshang, the war in the north of Guanzhong also needs to continue, and in the next one to two years, it is also necessary to cooperate with the Hedong strategy and merge the state.

In terms of the tasks that need to be borne, first of all, it is natural to stabilize the forces of all parties in Longshang, and soon after, it is necessary to continue to use troops in Longnan to attack the Qiu Chi State entrenched in Wudu, in order to be able to open contact with Mao Baobu, who has been transferred to Liangzhou Assassin History, and communicate in Hanzhong as soon as possible.

It is true that with the withdrawal of the Liangzhou army, Longshang no longer has a force strong enough to threaten Wang Shi, but it does not mean that the task of pacifying the local area is easy. Even if not to mention other weak strengths, there are at least three forces under Longshang that have the possibility of being connected in series, and once they are connected, they will have enough power to resist Wang Shi.

These three forces are the Jin people in Longshang, as well as the tribes, the large number of Di and Qiang forces. Among them, the Jin people are mainly concentrated in Longxi, Tianshui and other places, Luoyang is the base camp of the Di people, Nan'an is mainly gathered Qiang people, and part of Hexi Xianbei.

How to balance all parties and calm these forces under the control and at the same time guide them for their own use is a very test of the level of the generals. Once it is not handled properly, Longshang will once again fall into a melee, not to mention the foreign strategy of attacking the Chi State in the south.

Therefore, Yu Manzhi's position can really be described as a chore, and dedication may not be meritorious, but once you relax, you will inevitably have it. So much so that Shen Yun laughed at him, gave him a horsewhip with iron thorns, and told him to bring himself a few whips to encourage him to wake up.

Of course, Xingtai will not let Yu Manzhi fight alone, and he is equipped with a large staff team, including Du Mi and others who followed Shen Yun to Longlong earlier, Du Mi stayed in Tianshui as the county guard, mainly responsible for the united front and government affairs.

Moreover, the power saving of the opening of the platform to Yu Manzhi is also very large, with a total of twenty or thirty articles, especially in terms of personnel appointments. Due to the complexity of Longshang's human customs, in addition to conquest and deterrence, the use of various restraint methods is also the top priority, the most important of which is naturally the stimulation of MG.

Yu Man's Festival Governor Longshang, has a very flexible power to recommend and try to guard, too shou, supervision of the following civil and military officials can be promoted in advance, trial for half a year to a year, after the examination and competence of the line can be transferred to the main position. In other military towns, only Xie Ai of Fangtou has this authority, and even Huan Xuan in Guanzhong does not have it.

In fact, there is still no lack of objections to the opening of such a big power to Yu Manzhi, not because he is worried that Yu Manzhi will use this to build a private door, but because he is worried that he will be overflowing in Longshang, a place where Wang Wei has been lacking for a long time, causing the people of Longshang to be pampered and arrogant. But after weighing the small work, the general still decided to grant Yu Manzhi such a power.

Since the establishment of Xingtai, because of the strictness of the rules and regulations, it has inevitably borne a notorious reputation of being unkind and stingy, so that in many cases it has not been able to effectively unite local forces.

For this point, General Shen also has enough reasons to insist that the turmoil of the Three Kingdoms of the Later Han Dynasty was a period of collapse of various systems and rituals. Later, although the world was unified in the Jin Dynasty, the bastard rule of the Chinese and Korean dynasties for decades was more destructive than construction.

After the two Zhao who ravaged the north as the regime of the Hu people, only with tyranny and deterrence, killing, and rewards were rampant, it can be said that in this more than 100 years, the whole world has become unfamiliar with the solemnity of the system.

The previous General Shen had not tried to connect the forces of the family of the good gate lords, and used the power of a small circle to control and guide the general trend of the whole world, but with the coup d'état in Jiangdong, this attempt was also bankrupt. It also made Shen Zhezi realize that this is an expedient choice to simplify because of ugliness, but it is not the only way.

With the momentum of accumulation and steady progress, coupled with the system construction ability accumulated by Xingtai, he is fully capable of exporting the system step by step through strong force as a guarantee, and Guanzhong's strategy management is the practice of this line of thinking. In the absence of widespread support from local forces, Xingtai had the strength to recover Guanzhong and resume the construction of various systems.

But there is another difference in Longshang, that is, the power of the Hu people is too prosperous, and they are popping up one after another like leeks. It is by no means a short-term task to demand complete institutional construction, and it is necessary to gather the energy of a huge empire for long-term and sustained taming and indoctrination.

And this objective condition is not possessed by the current platform. Therefore, all kinds of restraint means are needed at the moment. Deterrence first, supplemented by rewards, does not force the construction of a system that is in place in general and in one step with Guanzhong, if the input of various political regulations and criminal orders is too fierce, it will inevitably stimulate the resistance of the people of Longshang and Jin.

When you go out, you are all heroes, and you will calculate the gains and losses when you close the door. Although the king's master was stable and stable, and the response of the Longshi was very important, this did not mean that they were really like the long-drought seedlings who longed for the rain, and they would respond enthusiastically to all the king's orders.

On the one hand, it was naturally to force Liangzhou to make greater concessions, and on the other hand, it was also to artificially prolong this period of confrontation, and to step up the mobilization of forces in Longshang when everything was undecided and the atmosphere in Longshang was still tense.

If the two sides had negotiated and agreed early, without suppressing the tense atmosphere of confrontation between the two powers, the Longshi might not have been happy to see Wang Shi gather too strong forces in Longshang. Although they took advantage of the situation of the king, they also had a line in their hearts to guard against the king's mastery.

The comprehensive suppression of Longshi is extremely detrimental to the establishment of Longshang's strategic position, nor is it conducive to the long-term operation of Longshang and even Hexi. The Jin people are already in a weak position in Longshang, and these Jin people are powerful and powerful portals that are similar to the isolated islands in the Hu people's ocean, and the existence of the king's destiny makes it possible for these islands to be connected.

However, if the king's fate is overpowering and excessively hurts their portal interests, it cannot be ruled out that these people may alienate the king's destiny and collude with the power of the Hu people. Originally, the rise of Di and Qiang in history had the existence of this kind of cooperation. The existence of these Longshi is the spark for long-term operation and complete naturalization of Longyou in the future.

Similarly, the powerful Di and Qianghu tribes in Longshang should not blindly force them to be killed. Regardless of the loss and consumption for the time being, even if these Qiang are killed, the current Xingtai will not have enough manpower to enrich the ground.

If the living space vacated by them cannot be fully utilized as soon as possible, it will only cheapen other miscellaneous forces, so that they can inherit a broader living space, so that they can grow stronger and continue to cause trouble.

For example, in history, the fall of the former Qin, the so-called Hu Dynasty and the chaos, the Han people in Shaanxi really received quite limited results, but the Xianbei of Hexi, which has always been the little brother, was particularly active in the subsequent history, competing for the capital left by the former Qin and the Later Qin.

In addition, Murong Beibu Xianbei Tuguhun, who now lives in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, is a grandson in the current miscellaneous hu, and anyone can kick a few feet. However, with the gradual demise of other forces in Longshang, Tuyuhun grew stronger and stronger, and in the Sui and Tang dynasties, it became one of the few major forces in Longyou Hexi. The tenacity of its vitality is even better than that of its own family, the Liaodong Murong Clan.
