Chapter 479: Rectify Pingzhou

After five months, Shang Ji finally set foot on the land of Liaodong again. Five months ago, Shang Ji was just a Liaodong Taishou, and now he is a state pastor.

In the past five months, the Yellow Turbans have been fighting, meeting all the princes, recruiting famous generals and virtuous ministers, and quelling the Wuhuan rebellion on the way back, all the way is magnificent and fruitful.

After Wuhuan made such a fuss, Shang Ji became the most direct beneficiary. Not only did Qiu Liju and Su Fuyan all the family wealth they had accumulated go to Shang Ji, but they also helped Shang Ji brush up his reputation by the way, making his reputation even worse.

Moreover, Shang Ji fought all the way, and Liaoxi County also completely fell under the control of Shang Ji. When the Shang army passed through Leyang City, Zhao Bao, the Taishou of Liaoxi (a C-level famous general), led all the officials of Liaoxi County of more than 600 stone to greet the Shang army from 300 miles away, and his attitude towards Shang Ji was unprecedentedly respectful.

Since then, Leyang, the last and only giant city in western Liaoning, has also fallen under the control of the merchants.

At the same time, Liu Meng left 150,000 troops to guard Changli, and personally led 50,000 wolf cavalry to conquer the east and west in the subject country of Liaodong. Having lost the main force, Wuhuan was simply powerless to resist the blades of the wolf cavalry.

At the same time that Shang Ji returned to Liaodong, the Wuhuan of Liaodong's vassal states was basically pacified. Correspondingly, more than one million people died in Wuhuan, a vassal state of Liaodong, under Liu Meng's butcher's knife. This is still the result of Shang Ji's timely order to stop it, if it weren't for this, the loss of the Wuhuan people would be far more than that, Shang Ji didn't expect Liu Meng's murderous nature to be so great, and the inheritance of the wolf god still had a great impact on him.

Now in the territory of Liaodong, the Wuhuan people are far more afraid of Liu Meng than they are of Shangji.

Most of the four counties and other subject states in the administrative division of Pingzhou have fallen into the hands of the merchants.

Zhang Qi, the county guard of Xuansu County (the same C-level cannon fodder historical general), was timid and fearful, and did not dare to confront Shang Ji at all, so when Shang Ji was just promoted to Pingzhou Mu, he sent people to Xiangping to congratulate him, and at the same time expressed his submission.

However, Shang Ji was still in the mainland at that time, and Deng Yan met with the envoys on behalf of Shang Ji. Because the center of gravity of Liaodong at that time was Wuhuan, he simply perfunctory Zhang Qi's envoy.

However, after Shang Ji defeated Su Muyan's main force in the First World War, Zhang Qi was shocked and hurriedly led the main officials of Xuansu County to Xiangping in person, and personally met Shang Ji in the name of reporting on his work to express his willingness to surrender.

In the entire Pingzhou area, Sun Du, the county shou of Lelang County, has not yet made a clear attitude, and Shang Ji is not in a hurry. Now that the general trend has been decided, it is too late for Gongsun Du to have ambitions to soar to the sky. Le Lang was alone, and he was powerless to get rid of the fate of being controlled by Shang Ji.

Shang Ji was not in a hurry to force Gongsun Du to express his position, this time he took over and occupied three counties at once, and there were still a large number of Wuhuan people to deal with, and with the size and heritage of Liaodong, there was still some indigestion.

What the Shang Ji needed most at the moment was no longer expansion, but the rapid digestion of the gains to stabilize their rule over the two counties and one vassal state.

In this regard, Shang Ji's flaws as an alien are exposed. The rise time is too short, the foundation is insufficient, the territory area has suddenly expanded three or four times, and there is an urgent shortage of basic talents, especially government talents.

Before the loss, there was a group of frustrated scholars from the poor family in Chen to vote, otherwise Shang Ji would face the dilemma of no one available. Although there are no pillars of talent among them, they still have more than enough to govern a county.

These scholars were also lucky, and they were able to serve as the magistrate of a county as soon as they came out, which made them grateful to the merchants, and their loyalty soared.

There are a total of 12 big cities and 3 giant cities in Liaoxi, Xuansu, and Liaodong, and according to the previous strategy of ruling Liaodong, all the county orders are replaced by their own people.

However, the county guards of the two counties have not changed, and although Shang Ji is the pastor of Pingzhou, he is not qualified to appoint and remove the county guard. In fact, seriously speaking, his appointment and dismissal of various county orders is also irregular, but if the princes everywhere are doing this today, it is more serious.

Dong Zhuo couldn't control it, so he simply didn't care about it. However, the appointment of the county guard is too sensitive, and Shang Ji is reluctant to be a leader who breaks the rules.

Anyway, these two county guards have already surrendered to the merchants, and although their loyalty is still a little low, they can barely accept it.

In addition, the county lieutenants of each county are all the henchmen placed by Shang Ji, and the county guards under Shang Ji's command are getting closer and closer to simple civilian officials, and they are not afraid of what they are doing if they have no military power.

As for the prefectural ordinances of small and medium-sized cities in various places, they remain the same for the time being. The two counties are also a vassal country, and there are more than 200 cities in large and small, and the merchants can't find enough talents for a while.

Moreover, the rule of the newly annexed land is not stable, and it is not easy to make a big move as soon as it comes up, so stability is still the first priority.

However, he had already begun to transfer capable men from the former Liaodong Army to various county lieutenants, and initially took over the leadership of the county soldiers in various places. As for the rectification of the army, this has to be postponed a little, and it is still the same sentence, stability is the first priority!

However, even so, the transfer of various officials has made Shang Ji dizzy, and it is also thanks to Xun Yu, a new top scribe, and Deng Yan to help deal with it, otherwise Shang Ji will not want to straighten out these things in a short period of time.

"Lord, General Liu Meng is back!"

Just when Shang Ji had just finished processing a document for the appointment of officials, there was a sound of the guards outside the door.

"General Liu, please come in!"

Liu Meng had been guarding Changli in Liaodong before, and it had been almost a month since Shang Ji returned to Xiangping, but he had never seen each other. Counting the previous time, the two haven't seen each other for half a year.

"Lord!" A hoarse, haggard voice sounded in Shang Ji's ears, and Shang Ji looked for the sound, but couldn't help frowning.

At this time, Liu Meng's eyes were bloodshot, red light flashed in his eyes from time to time, his eyes were black, his collarbones were protruding, and his face was full of murderous aura. Seeing him coming towards him, he could even vaguely feel a bloody breath!

"What's going on?" Shang Ji put down the paperwork, got up and asked with a brow.

He had heard from his subordinates that Liu Meng's state was a little wrong, so he specially ordered Tai Shici to replace Liu Meng to guard Changli, but he didn't expect his state to be so bad!

"The last general is grateful to the lord for his concern, but the last general is fine, but he is a little tired from the battle for days."

As soon as Liu Meng opened his mouth, his throat was like a bellows in disrepair, and his voice was poignant, making people's scalp tingle.

"What's okay, you've got a big problem!"

Shang Ji snorted coldly, this is obviously a symptom of going mad, if he doesn't adjust his state immediately, he will fall deeper and deeper, until he is completely crazy.

"You immediately put down all your military affairs and leave the wolf cavalry to your brother to take care of. You go to Yanhuang Temple to find Huangyang Taoist, listen to Taoist's prayer and chant to eliminate demons, when to get Huangyang's approval and when to come out! ”

"Lord, I'm really fine!"

"It's an order!"

The corners of Liu Meng's mouth twitched, and in the end, he obediently took the order and left.

Shang Ji was afraid that something would go wrong in the middle of the road, so he personally escorted him to the Yanhuang Temple and handed him over to the Huangyang Daoist.

In the assurances of the Huangyang Daoist that "Liu Meng will recover within half a month", Shang Ji returned to the City Lord's Mansion. Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "Online Game Zhige Three Kingdoms Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
