Although the promotion has come to an end, Zhao Feng's next problems still give Zhao Feng a headache.

That is, it is easy to be promoted, but those generals who are promoted, their army will lack the establishment of 2,500 people.

In order to make the establishment complete, Zhao Feng needs to recruit a large number of troops.

For example, Zhang Liao, Wang Ping, Yang Jing, Qu Ze, Dian Wei, Zhou Cang, Su You, Xue Jun, Xiahou Lan and others were each short of 2,500 people.

Zhang Wu and Huang Shao's troops were each missing 5,000 people.

Even Guan Hai's subordinates are missing a thousand people.

In addition, trade with the Southern Xiongnu was resumed last year, after a lot of war horses purchased with the Southern Xiongnu last year.

Zhao Yun and Hua Xiong's cavalry troops also need to return to 10,000.

In this way, Zhao Yun's department lacked 2,000 soldiers, and Huaxiong's department lacked 3,000 soldiers.

The shortfall of these soldiers has almost reached about 40,000.

Zhao Feng recruited 20,000 recruits throughout the territory around April last year, and now it has only been ten months, and if he only recruits 20,000 recruits, it is not a big problem.

But if you double the number of recruits by 40,000, it will have a demographic impact.

This kind of impact may not be a problem in the short term, but after a long time, the problem will become bigger.

You must know that Jizhou was plagued by Zhang Jiao's Yellow Turban Army in the early days, and then he didn't cultivate for a few years, and was plagued by Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan in turn.

They don't have a long-term perspective, they all desperately recruit troops at the first opportunity.

Therefore, Zhao Feng can only refrain from recruiting troops, otherwise it will not take a few years, and there will be a situation in Jizhou where Zhao Feng wants to recruit soldiers, but there are no soldiers to recruit.

Most of the young and strong people in Bingzhou were taken away by Zhang Yan, and the people of Montenegro who stayed behind were all old, weak, sick and disabled, which was regarded as a burden to the Montenegrin army.

Therefore, the military resources of the annexed states are also insufficient.

What's more, the population of the counties in Jizhou is generally smaller than that of the counties in Jizhou.

Zhao Feng couldn't think of a good way in a short time, so the matter was put on hold for the time being.

Anyway, it will take a while for the news of the promotion to be notified to the generals.

Time passed slowly, and half a month passed in a blink of an eye.

this day.

Lu Su walked into the conference hall and waved at Zhao Feng: "Enlighten the lord." ”

"According to the observation of the past half month, General Yang seems to have regained his motivation after getting the news of his promotion!"

"Whether it's true or pretended, it shows that in a short period of time, General Yang will not have other dissenting intentions."

"The lord should consider taking back Bohai County."

"Otherwise, wait another month and a half, and Qingzhou will harvest spring grain."

"At that time, the Montenegrin army has enough food, but I am afraid that it will affect the lord's recovery of Bohai County!"

Zhao Feng pondered for a moment: "This matter really needs to be put on the agenda." ”

"Otherwise, if it drags on, the variables of Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army will become bigger and bigger."

Lu Su waved at Zhao Feng: "The lord doesn't have to worry too much. ”

"General Yang has more than 10,000 troops in Dai County, but in Dai County, there is still Wang Taishou's army in charge."

"So, in a short time, there will be no chaos!"

Zhao Feng nodded: "Aside from Yang Jing's question. ”

"Now we have a new problem, that is, we have promoted so many generals at once."

"The shortfall in the establishment of these generals has reached about 40,000."

"And if we want to fill those gaps, we need to recruit 40,000 new soldiers."

"This is not a good thing for Bingzhou and Jizhou!"

Lu Su said with a smile: "Before the lord, the control of the various armies was relatively strict. ”

"There has never been a case of recruiting troops without authorization."

"And the previous practice of the lord was that the lord trained the recruits first, and after the recruits were trained, they were allocated to other armies."

"The purpose of this is to let all the soldiers be dispersed from the lord's hands, and to ensure that these soldiers retain a certain degree of loyalty to the lord."

"Of course, this is also due to the fact that the previous armies were all full."

"In today's situation, the lord should add an article to the military law, in order to avoid destroying the local population structure, prohibiting generals in the army from recruiting troops in the local area without authorization."

"Then the gap in the establishment of the army, the lord can slowly fill it."

"In short, just let the generals know that they only need to wait patiently, and the establishment will naturally be filled, and that's it!"

Zhao Feng pondered for a moment: "Tell Tian Feng about this, let Tian Feng deal with it." ”

"In addition, let Tian Feng recruit 20,000 recruits in the whole territory."

"It's been ten months since the last recruitment, and it's almost ready to recruit."

Lu Su waved at Zhao Feng: "Huh! ”

"What about sending troops to Bohai County?"

Zhao Feng pondered for a moment: "Notice, three days later, the army will set off for Bohai County!" ”

Lu Su waved at Zhao Feng: "Huh! ”

With that, he turned and exited the chamber.

After Lu Su left, Zhao Feng looked at Xiong Da: "Go and tell Wang Ze that we will leave for Bohai County in three days." ”

"Let him come to the council chamber and prepare for the official surrender!"

Xiong Da bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Huh! ”

With that, he turned and exited the chamber.

It didn't take long.

Xiong Da took Wang Ze to the conference hall.

As soon as Xiong Da gave up his hand to Zhao Feng, he returned to his position and stood still.

Wang Ze waved at Zhao Feng: "I've seen Zhao Zhoumu!" ”

"After observing for more than half a month, I can see the general trend clearly."

"I am willing to serve the work of dogs and horses!"

Zhao Feng smiled: "Very good! ”

"In that case, then the position of the Dai County Taishou is still up to you."

"Of course, if you don't like what you do, you should understand the consequences!"

Wang Ze waved at Zhao Feng: "Thank you Zhao Zhoumu!" ”

"Xia Guan understands!"

Zhao Feng nodded: "Very good." ”

"Go down and prepare, let's officially take office tomorrow!"

Wang Ze waved at Zhao Feng: "Huh! ”

With that, he turned and exited the chamber.

The next day, Wang Ze officially took over the post of acting as the county taishou, and Zhao Feng led his troops to guard him, withdrew from Gaoliu, and went to the camp outside Gaoliu City to settle down.

Others have little opinion on this.

After all, a day later, Zhao Feng would lead the army to leave Daijun.

So naturally there is no opinion.

Time passed slowly, and half a month passed in a blink of an eye.

In this half a month.

Zhao Feng set out from Gaoliu in Daijun, passed through Daoren, Tanshi, Pingshu, and Lingqiu Counties, and took advantage of the Guangchang official road of Zhongshan Kingdom, passed through Wuruanguan, Gu'an, and Fanyang in Zhuo County, and entered the Hejian Kingdom.

The first county seat when Zhao Feng arrived in Hejian Country was Yi County!

This made Zhao Feng wonder, is this Yi County the future Yi Jing of Gongsun Zhan?

After all, Yi County is less than ten miles to the north, and it is Zhuo County.

However, in any case, Yi County still belongs to the Hejian Kingdom, and Zhao Feng feels that this possibility is not very large.

Then along Yi County, all the way to the east, after passing through Wen'an, it entered the northernmost part of Bohai County!
