Chapter 616: Guo Jiazhen Youzhou
Even if the state governor has made some adjustments, the benefits brought by the army are difficult for the people to refuse, and there is no need to pay taxes, this alone is enough to make them excited, and if someone in the family joins the army, the people also feel honored, and the state army is not something that anyone can enter.
More people are grateful, they will not forget who saved them in the most dangerous time, and they are willing to send their children to the army.
The conscription was also the result of Lu Bu's consultation with Jia Xu, Guo Jia and others, and now Lu Bu's rule is too big, close to Chang'an, Yanzhou, and Jizhou, and the Xianbei people are also eyeing each other, and they need more troops to defend it.
"Wenhe, now there are 50,000 soldiers and horses in Jinyang, but the strength of Youzhou is slightly insufficient. Lu Budao.
"Could it be that the lord has forgotten Gongsun Xu, Wuhuan Ren, Yan Rou and Liaodong?" Jia Xu reminded that in order to prevent the Wuhuan people from becoming bigger, Lu Bu ordered Tian Yu to secretly contact Yan Rou and make Yan Rou return to Liaoxi.
"Gongsun Xu?" Lu Bu questioned that since he handed over the matter of Youbeiping to Tian Yu for disposal, Lu Bu rarely asked, and Tian Yu also showed corresponding talent and managed Youbeiping in an orderly manner.
"According to the information obtained by his subordinates, Gongsun Xu has been acting more and more unscrupulously since last year, especially when our army and the Jizhou army were in a confrontation in Dangyin, he repeatedly contacted the Zou family in the city and the single in the army, Gongsun Xu is the son of Gongsun Zhan, and he must want to recapture Youbeiping, and the Gongsun family in Liaodong is also a wolf with ambition, does not obey the orders of the Han family, and claims to be the king without authorization."
Lu Bu knew in his heart that the Liaodong Gongsun family and the Wuhuan people were the biggest scourge affecting the stability of Bingzhou, which was why Lu Bu decided to continue to recruit troops, but the strength of the troops guarding Youzhou was best from Youzhou.
However, compared with the annexation of Youzhou, not long after Youzhou was annexed to Lu Bu, the people under his rule experienced too many disasters, and they needed to be stable even more, and they were not as grateful to the Bingzhou army as these refugees.
"If the army of the state is sent to Youzhou, I'm afraid it will be inappropriate, the people of Youzhou are fierce, if you can gather an army, it will be the greatest help to the state." Lu Budao.
"The current situation in Youzhou is very similar to the original merger of the state." Chen Tian sighed, he has been in Youzhou for many years, he knows Youzhou very well, especially Yuyang County and Youbeiping, even when Liu Yu was the pastor of Youzhou, he was beyond the reach of the whip, even if the strategy implemented by the state in Youzhou is good, it will take time to influence.
"My lord, in fact, it is okay to recruit troops in Youzhou." Jia Xu said: "Bingzhou is still a little far away from Youzhou, even after the cement road is repaired, it will still take time for the army to rush to Youzhou, if there is no strong army to guard it, after the officials of the Inspectorate Office arrive in Youzhou, it will be difficult to carry out." ”
"The standing force of Hedong in Hanoi is set at 10,000, the standing force of Bingzhou is 50,000, and the standing force of Youzhou is 30,000. Lu Budao said that the standing army under his rule in the past was only 50,000 people, but now the number has been directly doubled, and the pressure on military salaries and grain and grass is followed, but the grain and grass of the troops in various places are basically borne by all localities, which also greatly relieves the pressure on the state.
Like Hanoi and Hedong, it is a relatively wealthy place.
"Feng Xiao is willing to go to Youzhou?" Lu Bu asked suddenly, this idea is not the first time that this idea has appeared, compared to Merging Prefecture, the control of Youzhou is too weak, once the Jizhou army attacks Youzhou, and then unites the Gongsun family and Wuhuan people in Liaodong, Youzhou is likely to come to naught.
Guo Jia arched his hand and said: "My subordinates are willing to go." ”
"The situation in Youzhou is complicated, after Fengxiao arrives in Youzhou, he can discuss with Tian Yu, Chen Zhi and others, and Ji Ling and Yang Feng will follow Fengxiao together." Lu Budao, no matter what, Yang Feng has a credit for taking refuge in Bingzhou, and Yang Feng's own ability is not weak, it is more than enough to guard a county, Ji Ling is the number one fierce general under Yuan Shu in the past, quite strategic, plus Youzhou has Chen Zhi, Zhang Yan and others, Youzhou's military deployment is no longer weak.
"Whoa." Guo Jia solemnly bowed: "The subordinates will live up to the trust of the lord." He knows that this is to be alone, and this is also the problem faced by the development of the state, as the land under his rule is getting bigger and bigger, there will definitely be a need for more strategists, and the location of Youzhou is very important, and there is no room for error.
"After arriving in Youzhou, everything can only rely on Fengxiao and others." Lu Budao: "Yuan Shao of Jizhou and the Gongsun family of Liaodong have to be guarded, and Youzhou is even closer to Xianbei in the central part of the country. ”
Since taking refuge in the state, Yang Feng is more depressed, on official positions, he is only a partial general in the army, it is said that with his merits, even if he becomes a general, it is not impossible, but he chose to merge the state, he has no way back, although the life of the wandering is much better, but Yang Feng also wants to pursue a higher position.
The military system of the state army also deeply stimulated Yang Feng, if according to the standards of the state army, half of the former subordinates could stay in the army, even if it was good, through the system of the state army, he also understood why the state army was so strong, because they had a firm belief, they had the spirit of sacrifice for the state.
Yang Feng did not give up, he wanted to rely on his own efforts to gradually improve, mainly because the system of the state army made him see hope, he was also a single leader of a soldier and horse, in terms of vision and strategy, compared with ordinary generals in the army has a great advantage.
Jia Xu sent people to summon him, which surprised Yang Feng, and after coming to Bingzhou, he realized how high Jia Xu's status was in Bingzhou, even if it was the first person under Lu Bu, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he wanted to be reused through Jia Xu.
After a long talk with Jia Xu, Yang Feng's fighting spirit was stimulated, and the worries in his heart disappeared.
Yang Feng had also heard of Guo Jia's name before, and after really seeing Guo Jia, he was still shocked by Guo Jia's youth, in Bingzhou, no one dared to despise Guo Jia, a young man, not only Jinyang Ling, a military advisor, but also Lu Bu's sworn brother, just this relationship is enough to make people pay attention.
"Meet the Strategist." Yang Feng hugged his fist.
"General Yang, please take a seat." Guo Jia said with a smile.
Only then did Yang Feng discover that there was another general in the house, that is, Ji Ling, the number one fierce general under Yuan Shu.
"Three days later, General Yang and General Ji will go to Youzhou with their own officials, and there is a long way to go to Youzhou, and I hope the two of them can work together." Guo Jia said slowly.
