"The Qi army clashed with the Chu army at Dantu, and the Qi army led by Zanshu defeated the remnants of Xiangzhu's army, and the Chu army was forced to abandon Dantu and retreat to Qu'a. It is reported that Xiang Liang did not lead the army to help after learning the news, but sent Xiang Bo to go. ”

The house is cloudy and leaky, which is the current status quo of the Chu State, and after the defeat, it can be said that it is not a disaster to be oppressed by the Qi State.

When Lu Zhe confirmed the accuracy of the news, he was in the nest of Jiujiang County, where he personally led the army to wait for the fleet to return to Nanjun Jingling, and then return to Nanling City by land, but there was still one matter to be dealt with before that.

Juchao is the base camp of the Shu clan, this is the birthplace of Fan Zeng, it is impossible to say that the Shu clan, a big clan with high prestige in the local area, has not had contact with Fan Zeng before.

Why Shu Dao abandoned the Xiang clan and joined Lu, Lu Zhe now doesn't want to delve into it, what he needs to think about now is whether he should fulfill his promise to the Shu clan according to the previous agreement, subdue or exterminate the rest of the forces in Jiujiang County, and make the Shu clan a monopoly in Jiujiang County.

There are many forces in Jiujiang County, and Su Lie's first conquest of Jiujiang County was mainly aimed at the Xiang family's garrison in Jiujiang County, and the other forces were basically not exterminated, and now there are still six forces entrenched in Jiujiang County. Among the six forces, the Yin clan and the Zhong clan have already expressed their affiliation, and the remaining four forces have fled very simply.

Those are some names that Lu Zhe is not familiar with, Ge Ying, Deng Shuo, Wu Xu, Ding Ji, if Lu Zhe has studied "Chen Shi Family", then you will find that these people are actually generals who started with Chen Sheng, and some people have even done some famous things in history.

Jiujiang County has basically been subdued without using large soldiers, and that is because Lu Zhe is "powerful" at present, that is, he has won successive victories, especially after defeating Xiang Liang, his reputation has become very great. These people in Jiujiang found it difficult to resist, and those who belonged were attached, and those who ran ran away.

Shu Shi is the earliest "time-sensitive" in Jiujiang County, that is, the person who dared to bet before the situation was clear. And it is clear that Shudao's gamble was successful. Now he is constantly reminding Lu Zhe that he should fulfill his promise.

The Nanjun, Hengshan County, and Cangwu County under Lu Zhe's rule were not properly developed, and he did not plan to expand too much territory, but now he is not allowed not to expand. He didn't want to increase his burden, but his subordinates wouldn't understand that, Lujiang County and Jiujiang County were already meat in a bowl, and if he didn't take down his subordinates, he should feel that Lu Zhe had no ambitions.

How to deal with the Lujiang County and Jiujiang County that were sent to the bowl need to have a charter, and Lu Zhe also needs to think carefully and discuss a proper agenda with his subordinate Wenwu.

"The Yin clan and the Zhong clan were attached after the overall situation was decided, and they cannot be compared with the Shu clan. Shu Shi invested in us before the situation was uncertain, even if he had a bad heart, he should be greatly rewarded. If we don't take credit for those who follow, who will take refuge in us in the future? Kuaitong expressed his opinion directly.

This was an informal meeting. There are too many core figures under Lu Zhe's command, and they are just discussing in advance.

Gongwei, Su Lie, and Mei Kai, the three high-ranking generals, did not speak from the beginning, and Kuaitong was always talking to Lu Zhe over there.

The civilian system was not only present, but also Xiao He, who came to count the seized materials. In fact, there are not many people who are considered civil officials under Lu Zhe now, and there are also Yan Bi, Kuaitong, Xiao He, and Mian Bi, and the other are the county commanders and county magistrates of those counties, such as the county seat. There was no county guard under Lu Zhe's rule, not to mention the imperial history, the county prince, the death history, the main book, and the priest's order. In addition, the county magistrate, the county magistrate below the county magistrate, Gong Cao, Ling Shi, Prison Peng, Wen Harmless, Stable, Cang Official, and so on. These are completely out of the flow.

Lu Zhe started with soldiers, and the large number of military generals and the lack of civilian officials are the common problems of every force that gathers troops to start out. In fact, in an era when there were not many literate people, it was not uncommon for one side to have more generals and fewer scribes.

"It's time to keep the promises you've made." Lu Zhe set a tone, "But how to deploy it still needs a lot of planning." ”

How could it be possible for the Shu family to dominate in Jiujiang County? Even if Shu's has always been obedient. The current Shu's deference does not mean that he will continue to be submissive in the future. The checks and balances that should be in place should be arranged in advance, so as not to find yourself bored in the future.

"Separation of the military and the government, see whether the Shu family is willing to be in charge of the army or willing to manage the people." Lu Zhe will not appoint a figure such as the governor of a county jointly managed by the military and the people in the future.

Hearing that, the lieutenant's originally lowered head was raised. He looked at Lu Zhe with an expressionless face, and couldn't help but throb in his heart.

"I'm afraid that the Shu clan will not give up the military power, and if the military and the government are separated. Juchao, Shu County, and Jianyang were originally the starting places of Shu Dao, and they would still be under the control of Shu's family. Kuaitong almost didn't understand that there was a lack of civil officials under Lu Zhe's command, and too many civilian officials were needed to separate the military and the government, and they were the kind of civilian officials with good ability, not everyone could eliminate the influence of the clan after taking office, and in the end they still couldn't really master civil affairs.

Of course, Lu Zhe knew that there was a shortage of officials under his command, and this was also the priority he should deal with next.

The influence of the clan on the people has not been done even in the Celestial Empire, what age is it now, and how can it be done? All Lu Zhe wants is a "name and a point", set the rules, and have a ready-made excuse for who he wants to target in the future.

There is no good way to increase the number of civil servants, and now there are not so many people who can easily disseminate knowledge after owning paper, and it is purely a dream to want to get a scientific examination system. In the era when the literacy rate was not high, there were not many ways to attract literate readers, either to learn from the former Great Qin to infinitely improve the status of readers, or to learn from the former Qi State to run a school palace.

It's a pity that Lu Zhe doesn't seem to have the conditions to attract scholars here, if you say that Lu Zhe himself is just waiting for the official position as the general of Zhengnan, he has no advantage over those royal families, and he can't give scholars a lofty status. School Palace...... Are there any writers under Lu Zhe who can do it? That is, a certain son is also a character who can be called a son, such as Confucius, Mencius, and so on. There is no grandmaster-level person in charge, and the school palace is estimated to be laughed to death by the people of the world.

In fact, Lu Zhe is also a little uncertain about the talent of the current sergeant, and feels that most of them are wastes who can only talk about empty words.

Obviously, Lu Zhe regards the current scholars as such as the Song and Ming dynasties...... There are also those who are more "typical" during the "My Qing Dynasty" period. Now is not the era of Confucian dominance, even if it is Confucianism, the Confucian scholars in the Han and Tang dynasties are not so unbearable.

Of course, it would be a big mistake to think that today's scholars are "ignorant of grains". Now is the era of a hundred schools of thought, literacy scholars are not all called scholars, even scholars are not "cultural people" who read dead books and dead books, and the scholars in the hundreds of schools are basically people who specialize in a certain "discipline", even if their ability is not strong, they are not waste who can only read the philosophies of their ancestors.

Lu Zhe's misunderstandings he didn't know, he didn't say anything about the relevant ideas, and his subordinates didn't understand them, but no matter what, they all agreed that their side really didn't have the conditions to attract hundreds of scholars for the time being.

"Then let Shu Shi master such a large territory without much effort?" Su Lie's tone was very hesitant, no matter how Jiujiang County was said, it was located at a key point, and all the countries of the Central Plains and the State of Chu had to pass through Jiujiang County if they wanted to attack, and it was really inappropriate to hand over such a place to the Shu family.

The generals are all thinking from a military point of view, and with Su Lie taking the lead in speaking, Mei Kai also expressed his opinion.

Mei Li felt that Jiujiang County was currently a bridgehead for the defense of the Central Plains countries, and the Qi State had now been mixed into the south, and God knew what would happen to the Shu clan when the Qi State or the Chu State made a comeback, and it was indeed necessary to have it in their own hands.

The lieutenant still didn't say a word, although Lu Zhe didn't say anything, but the stain on the lieutenant couldn't be washed off. Others are the son's cheating father, and the co-captain is the son's cheating father, and he really can't say it. Now the lieutenant is in an awkward stage, if it weren't for Lu Zhe's personal name, he wouldn't even think of coming over to participate in such an important meeting, he just wanted to lock himself in a certain room and never show up again.

Lu Zhe has never been a procrastinator, and he doesn't deal with the lieutenant because there is nothing to deal with. In addition to abandoning the army, the lieutenant did not have any rebellion from beginning to end. Lu Zhe deeply felt that the legal system of Great Qin was very good, and he didn't want to set a bad precedent, so it was most reasonable to deal with it according to the law. So what kind of punishment should the lieutenant receive, and after returning to Nanling, it will be dealt with in accordance with military law.

"Biased appeasement." Lu Zhe breathed a sigh of relief: "What should I do specifically, I will discuss it after I return to Nanling." ”

But it is not the kind of appeasement policy adopted by the British Prime Minister against Germany during World War II, Lu Zhe's appeasement refers to a kind of monitoring control, to put it more clearly, Lujiang County must be taken, then they will have to govern four counties, and they have no power or remaining resources to develop Jiujiang County, so let Shu Shi top the tank, which can be regarded as a buffer zone that is not a buffer zone between Lu Zhe's forces and the Central Plains and Chu States.

"In addition, I also ask Mr. Kuai and Mr. Xiao to return to Nanling first, and cooperate with Yan Bi to prepare for the shogunate's tooth opening." Lu Zhe has put this matter off long enough, and after the battle with Xiang Liang, it is time to open the mansion and build teeth, so as to reward the meritorious soldiers.

Open a house and build a tooth? After hearing this, all the people present showed happy expressions. They have waited long enough for this day, and the strength of their own forces has swelled to more than 400,000, but one by one they still hold the unofficial rank of commander, and those who feel that they have enough credit have long wanted to lead a general.

Gongwei also had a happy expression on his face, but he just saw Lu Zhe's eyes looking at himself when he spoke. How could he not see that Lu Zhe was hinting, that is to say, in addition to the punishment he deserved, his merits would not be less at all.

"That's good, that's good......", to be honest, this is the best result that the lieutenant has gotten, what else is there to dislike? (To be continued......)
