"Weichen just proposed the establishment of Zhili County, and the specific personnel appointment and dismissal should also be requested by the king. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Fan Li asked the gentleman, but he avoided answering.

"Old fox!"

Ouyang Shuo sighed in his heart, Fan Li was still as cautious as ever, even if he began to speak out on territorial affairs, he was still unwilling to get involved too deeply in the most sensitive personnel issues.

Although Fan Li said this, Wei Ran's appointment was quickly discussed and approved, and he was relieved of his position as the county guard of Lianzhou and transferred to the county guard of Chaozhou.

This time, Wei Ran was transferred away from the central place, and I was afraid that someone would breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts.

Although Wei Ran is good and capable, he is a little greedy. During his tenure as the county guard of Lianzhou, the signs of greed began to show again, and Shen Buxian reported this time to Ouyang Shuo many times.

The people's evaluation of Wei Ran is also mixed. Even Xiao He had a lot of complaints about Wei Ran. Leaving such an official in the center, Ouyang Shuo can be regarded as broad-minded.

Transferring Wei Ran away this time can be regarded as a blow to him.

…………

On October 8, the appointment of the three county wardens was made public.

In addition to the three county guards, the candidates for the tax commissioner to succeed Huo Guang were also announced. This person was recommended by Fan Li, a top disciple of the merchant, and has always been Huo Guang's important assistant.

With the announcement of the news, the territory has made waves again.

When the Song family got the news, they were naturally overjoyed and swept away the previous haze.

Of course, the head of the family, Song Tianxiong, did not forget to warn the children of the family not to be arrogant because of this, let alone to use Song Wen's power to seek personal gains, otherwise he would be seeking his own death.

Song Tianxiong vaguely sensed from his daughter Song Jia that Ouyang Shuo was afraid that he had a secret intelligence agency in his hands that supervised hundreds of officials.

From this, Song Tianxiong thinks of the famous brocade guard in history.

As soon as he thought of this, Song Tianxiong felt a chill in his heart.

It is conceivable that once the Song family commits a crime, with Ouyang Shuo's iron face and selflessness, no one can save the Song family. The two brothers Song Wen and Song Wu have become the core pillars of the Song family.

The old lady of the Song family even expressed his appreciation and preference for these two grandsons on different occasions.

Although the rout of the Ruan clan made Song Tianxiong and others very happy, they also felt chills in their hearts when they thought about it. The hairy boy in reality has long grown into a giant that they need to look up to, or even awe.

Even in the Song family, even Old Lady Song didn't dare to call him by his name in advance.

Some people rejoice, others worry.

Huo Chengjun's little Lori was very unhappy, because she was going to move to Shaozhou County with her father. In this way, I can't go to the Southern Xinjiang Protectorate anymore and play with Sister Bing'er.

What's more, she can't see her brother anymore.

When leaving, Ouyang Shuo personally saw off Huo Guang's family, Huo Chengjun cried profusely, very lovable.

When Huo Guang saw it, he could only smile bitterly at Junshang, full of apologies.

Compared with Huo Chengjun's unhappiness, Wei Ran seemed a little lonely. Wei Ran can be regarded as the oldest county guard in the territory, but now he is ridden on the head by Song Wen and other juniors, how not to be lonely.

Wei Ran is not a stupid person, he has long thought that one day Lianzhou County will be revoked and classified into Zhili. He has always been very eager for the position of Zhili County.

Unexpectedly, in the competition with Zang Wenzhong, he ended up with a fiasco.

Loneliness is loneliness, but Wei Ran doesn't dare to complain about anything. His family knows about his own family affairs, and Wei Ran also realizes that his small actions in Lianzhou County are afraid that they will be looked at by the king.

In addition, his son-in-law Bai Qi is no longer the only god general in the territory, and his right to speak is greatly reduced. And with Bai Qi's character, he will not mention what his father-in-law mediates.

In this way, Wei Ran could only obediently go to Chaozhou County to take up his post.

For Wei Ran, Ouyang Shuo didn't really give up.

Before leaving, Ouyang Shuo told Wei Ran to govern Chaozhou County well, as long as there are merits, it is not impossible to return to the center in the future, or go to the next level.

"Thank you!" Wei Ran listened to it and sighed with emotion.

************

October 10, White Rock City.

The Battle of Lingnan has completely ended, and Ouyang Shuo took Du Ruhui and other bigwigs of the General Military Affairs Bureau to Baishi City to preside over a new round of army reorganization.

White Rock City was chosen because 150,000 Allied troops were placed here, and second, it was of great significance.

The six generals, Sun Bin, Huo Quzhi, Shi Wansui, Evil Lai, Di Qing and Fan Lihua, all left their respective troops and rushed to Baishi City to assemble and report their respective results.

Needless to say, the biggest hero of this battle was the capture of 150,000 allied troops and 20,000 losses. The battle losses of the other five legions were all about four or five thousand, and a total of more than 90,000 field troops were captured.

Basically, the field army in the land of the three counties was wiped out.

In addition, there are garrisons in various places, and according to preliminary statistics, there are no less than 50,000 people. However, compared with the field army, the quality of the soldiers of the local garrison units is somewhat inferior, and it is not suitable to be integrated into the field army sequence.

There is nothing to say about the garrison troops, except for the reorganization of three garrison divisions, and the remaining soldiers will either be transferred to the reserve or directly arranged for retirement.

The focus of this army reorganization is the 240,000 field army prisoners of war. After deducting the battle losses of the major legions, three legions can be reorganized.

How to arrange these three legions, before coming to White Rock City, Ouyang Shuo probably had a plan.

First, the formation of the Second Army of the Praetorian Guard.

Mainly from the 100,000 Allied cavalry troops, 70,000 of the most elite cavalry were selected to form the Second Army of the Praetorian Guard.

The Allied army was the best troops in the territories of the [Lingnan City-State], well-trained, and the quality of the soldiers was excellent, even if it was directly reorganized into the Praetorian Guard.

This time, 70,000 cavalry were selected from 100,000, which can be described as the best of the best, and the best of the best.

The regiment will be trained in accordance with the standards of the historical Haw Par Cavalry. The Haw Par Cavalry is a Praetorian Guard system, which can be said to be in the same vein.

The commander of the Praetorian Guard, Huo Quai, is best at cavalry combat. However, the conditions were limited before, and the original Praetorian Guard Legion only had two cavalry divisions, one of which was a special ironclad beast cavalry division.

The formation of the Second Army of the Praetorian Guard this time is undoubtedly to make up for this shortcoming. At the same time, it also gave the genius general Huo Quai, more room to play.

The commander of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Ouyang Shuo circled Ma Chao, who was still studying. At the same time, Cao Chun, the commander of the historical Haw Par Cavalry, was designated as the deputy corps commander and division commander of the First Division.

Ma Chao and Cao Chun both cooperate and supervise each other.

In addition to these two, Ma Chao's younger brother Ma Xiu was appointed division commander of the Third Division. Lin Yi, the division commander of the 1st Division of the Janissary Legion, was transferred to the 2nd Army Corps and served as the division commander of the 2nd Division.

With Lin Yi, a local general, the Second Legion will be easier to integrate into the Praetorian Guard system.

The vacant position after Lin Yi's transfer will be taken over by veteran Ma Teng. Xiliang Five Horses, each of them is a master of riding battles, Ouyang Shuo naturally wants to make the best use of his talents.

As for the remaining two division commanders of the Second Army Corps of the Praetorian Guard, they will be promoted directly from among the generals. There is no shortage of generals in the Allied forces, after all, they are all the chief generals of each territory.

Shanhai City employs people, never judging by their origins.

Speaking of which, isn't the current army expanded step by step through the reorganization of prisoners of war?!

Shanhai City started very early, and it didn't recruit new soldiers in the territory.

This is also the wilderness, and wars are frequent, so that Shanhai City can do this. Every time a major war breaks out, not only will there be no attrition, but a large number of prisoners of war will be harvested.

This model cannot be imitated by other territories.

Second, the formation of the third army of the Leopard Tao Army.

There are three major group armies of Longxiang, Huben and Leopard Tao, but only the Leopard Tao Army currently has only two corps. With this expansion of the army, Ouyang Shuo will never forget the Leopard Tao Army again.

The commander of the Third Legion of the Leopard Tao Army, Ouyang Shuo chose the former allied commander, that is, the veteran Feng Yi. One is capable of Feng Yi, which is enough to lead a legion.

The second is also to use Feng Yi's promotion to appease the surrendered allies.

At the same time, Cao Hong and Ma Tie, two powerful generals who are still studying, will serve as the division commanders of the 1st Division and the 2nd Division of the Third Army Corps respectively after the completion of the training.

Ma Dai, the last of the five horses in Xiliang, will be assigned to the Third Army of the Longxiang Army, that is, the Zhang Liao Army, as the deputy commander of the corps and the division commander of the First Division.

Zhang Liao's army was reorganized as a whole, and Ouyang Shuo naturally had to arrange a military general to balance Zhang Liao's existence.

Third, the formation of the Fourth Army of the Longxiang Army.

It stands to reason that this time it is fighting on the home ground of the Tiger Army, and this last legion place should be reserved for the Tiger Army.

Ouyang Shuo's arrangement was also based on strategic considerations.

With the whole territory of Lingnan Province being brought under the rule of Shanhai City, the territory borders Southern Fujian Province to the east and Jiangchuan Province to the northeast, and the overall security situation will be greatly improved.

The only threat comes from the [Shonan City-State] in the north.

In contrast, Yunnan Province, where the Longxiang army is located, will become a main battlefield under the territory, and with only the three legions of the Longxiang army, it is somewhat overstretched, so it needs the support of troops even more.

After all considerations, Ouyang Shuo still decided to give priority to the formation of the Fourth Army of the Longxiang Army.

The commander of the Fourth Legion, Ouyang Shuo selected the young general Luo Shixin.

Luo Shixin was already extraordinarily talented, and it was only because of his untimely death that he became infamous in history. In the past two years, under Bai Qi's personal training, Luo Shixin has rapidly grown into a rare cavalry general.

At the same time, Luo Shixin is a "veteran" of Shanhai City, with outstanding merits, and Luo Shixin is appointed to the post of the Fourth Army Corps, and he will hardly encounter any resistance in the army.

At the same time, Ouyang Shuo also arranged for the fierce general Xiahou Yuan to serve as the deputy commander of the Fourth Army and the division commander of the First Division to assist Luo Shixin.

With these two in charge, plus the leader of Bai Qi, there should be no big problem.

At this point, the vacancies of the three major legions were all arranged.

The generals of the three kingdoms, such as the Xiliang Five Horses, the Cao brothers, and Xiahou Yuan, were also placed in place one by one.
