Seeing that Deng Yan finished speaking, Liu Yi coughed lightly, got up and said, "Don't introduce government affairs, I'll briefly talk about military affairs!" ”

"As of last month, the curtain has basically come to an end on Pingzhou's major military restructuring. A total of 1.6 million troops were dismissed, and another 1.2 million were demoted to the rank of Xiangyong. At the same time, another 100,000 new troops have been recruited, and most of the planned 4 million troops have been completed, and they will all be completed within next month. ”

"In addition, according to the order of the lord, our army is training in battle while reorganizing the army and training non-commissioned soldiers. Preliminary actual combat was carried out by clearing out large-scale alien beasts and encircling and suppressing bandits. ”

"Over the past few months, the armies have achieved fruitful results, not only clearing out the bandits in Pingzhou, but also training a large number of qualified soldiers.

Speaking of this, Liu Yi glanced at Deng Yan, Deng Yan smiled bitterly and arched his hand towards Liu Yi.

The army's removal of bandits has not only played a role in improving law and order.

A large number of captured thieves became the best free labor, which was used in various construction projects. The rapid development of Pingzhou is closely related to the number of bandits and prisoners of war, which is as high as 300,000.

In the beginning, bandits were the best soldiers, but as the level of merchants increased, they gradually looked down on these bandits.

Under normal circumstances, ordinary bandits who can reach the third order are already elites, but in Shang Ji's planning, the third order does not even have a starting point.

Many county soldiers whose combat power was much stronger than the bandits were disbanded or demoted by Shang Ji without hesitation, so naturally they would not waste food while these bandits were kept.

However, of course, these bandits could not be let go like this, and in accordance with the principle of guilt and punishment, these captives were sent to repair the road to compensate for their mistakes.

Shang Ji nodded and said, "Eliminate all evil, and the bandits must be completely eliminated." Ben will get a secret report, and there is an extremely strong bandit secretly lurking in Pingzhou, you must clean them up thoroughly! ”

Liu Yi frowned and glanced at each other, a little unclear.

"Dare to ask the lord, where is this bandit, how large-scale is the leader, who is the leader, and why there is no clue to the general"

Liu Yi, as the leader of the army, asked this question uncompromisingly.

"Ahem!" Shang Ji coughed lightly and looked at Chen Guan.

"General Liu!" Chen Guan got up at the right time, arched his hand to Liu Yi and said, "This group of thieves has ethereal whereabouts, going back and forth between the borders, and I haven't heard any specific information. But one thing is certain, this gang of bandits must exist! And extremely ferocious! ”

The last few words, Chen Guan deliberately accentuated his tone.

Liu Yi was even more confused when he heard it, there was no trace of the bandits, shouldn you Chen Guan be afraid to ask for guilt Why did he have a weird smile on his face

"Ahem......!"

"Generals, our Pingzhou army has been in town for less than three months, and due to lack of experience, limited talents, the overall quality of the army is worrying, and the terrain of our Pingzhou is complex and changeable. Therefore, it would have been completely understandable that you had accidentally crossed the border while chasing the most vicious bandits! ”

"Amount"

Liu Yi was stunned for a moment, glanced at Zhao Yun and the others, and a smile flowed from the corner of his mouth.

"The lord is magnanimous, we will live up to the trust of the lord and must exterminate the bandits!"

"Well, this gang of bandits is very, very cunning, and it will take two months to complete the task!"

At this time, even the relatively sluggish Dian Wei reacted, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Shang Ji expectantly. Pingzhou suppresses bandits every day, top generals lead elite troops to encircle and suppress more than 10,000 soldiers, and the average combat power does not exceed the third-order bandits, how boring it feels!

There was no order from Shang Ji before, and everyone did not dare to act on their own.

Now that there is a "hint" from Shang Ji, isn't it as excited as a happy lamb

Liu Yi smiled: "Lord, the last general feels that the two months are not enough, how about extending it a little more?"

"It doesn't matter, but it's my wedding with my sister in two months, and if you delay it, I don't know how my sister will react!"

Shang Ji smiled and looked at Liu Yi quite sarcastically.

Liu Yi looked embarrassed, touched his nose, and sat down stupidly. He forgot about it in a moment of excitement!

If Liu Yi was not by his side when the Liu family got married, then Liu Yi would have to bear it.

Now the most troublesome person in Pingzhou is not Shang Ji, but the Liu family! Liu clearly has a tendency to enter marriage syndrome, and her emotions have become very sensitive.

Others are sensitive and can't lose their temper, Liu's is different, she has changed her usual strong and calm, dignified and atmospheric image, and has become crying, wiping tears at every turn!

How can this Liu Yi withstand the image of the Liu family in Liu Yi's heart, the eldest sister has always been like a mother, and now the painting style has changed abruptly. The gentle eldest sister has become a crying and cute girl, Liu Yi is a dignified eight-foot man, and now he wants to hide when he sees Liu!

Anyway, Liu Yi took the initiative to ask for orders to go to various places to inspect military affairs, and he didn't want to take the opportunity to avoid disasters.

"Speaking of marriage, how are you preparing now?"

Shang Ji looked at Huangyang Daoren, he was the chief planner of this marriage!

"My lord, all preparations are proceeding smoothly and in an orderly manner, and I will definitely not delay my lord's major affairs!" Huang Yang shook off the dust, got up and said.

"Well, I don't have to worry about doing things, so it's a lot of hard work!"

"By the way, have you responded to the invitation of the guests?"

Improving the marriage, Shang Ji also has a trace of nervousness in his heart. He has never been married in two lives, and he is not as good as ordinary silk in this regard!

"Returning to the lord, his subordinates consulted with Deng Beijia, Xun Zhen and others, and then referred to some of the opinions of several generals, and sent a total of 2,222 invitations, including 56 important invitations, and most of the invitations were answered. Fifty-six important guests also made it clear that they would give generous gifts to attend the wedding of the lord. ”

"In addition, the Son of Heaven has also issued an edict to give marriage, and he has given Zhu Shang Xuanduan and Ziyun Liuxian Skirt each, as well as Jin Bu Shao, hairpin, five-color Wen Yu Huan, concentric Qibao hairpin, Hehuan Yuanjue and other things."

"Vermilion Xuanduan, Ziyun Liuxian Skirt, Golden Step Shake, Five-color Wen Yuhuan, this Dong Zhuo really looks up to me!"

Although it is said that it is a reward from the Son of Heaven, everyone knows what is going on, Dong Zhuo has just been crowned Xiangguo a month ago, and he has the privilege of going to the palace to praise and worship the nameless. Without Dong Zhuo's approval, the little emperor's will can't even get out of the palace!

Shang Ji smiled quite self-deprecatingly, looked at everyone and asked, "Do you think I should accept this thing?"

Xuanduan is the court dress, which was used in the Han Dynasty for important occasions such as worship, marriage, and sacrifice, while the vermilion Xuanduan was only qualified to be worn by the princes and the Son of Heaven.

In the same way, the Liuxian skirt was a popular clothing for women in the Han Dynasty, but the Ziyun Liuxian skirt has always been exclusive to concubines. Jin Buyao is the queen's exclusive headdress, and the other five-color Wen Yu rings, concentric Qibao hairpins, Hehuan Yuanjue, etc. are all not eligible for Shang Ji's current identity!

Before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, only the daughter of a great meritorious hero who made great contributions to the dynasty would be rewarded by the emperor with one or two pieces to show his favor when she got married.

Dong Fatzi deliberately sent this bunch of forbidden things, and everyone knew at a glance what his idea was.
