Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

Chapter 198: Recruitment order

As soon as Liu Ye entered, the room was suddenly silent, and the eyes of all the county guards couldn't help but focus on the past.

Everyone wanted to see what kind of character this invincible and invincible clan general was.

Liu Ye turned a blind eye and took a few steps forward: "Final Liu Ye, I have seen the governor."

Geng Bi nodded, and put his palm to the first table on his left: "Please sit down, Liu Lang."

Liu Ye thanked him and sat behind the first case. No matter his military exploits or status, he was enough to sit on this case. After all, Tianshui County is the largest county in Liangzhou. You are welcome. In a word, if Liu Ye rebelled with Han Sui, Beigong Boyu and others, half of Liangzhou would have rebelled.

Geng Bi saw Liu Ye seated, and slowly said, "Do you know why a certain person called you today?"

Many county officials were stunned, and we don’t know how to read minds. Who knows what you called us for today?

But Liu Ye was thoughtful. This Geng Cishi was very hard-working as soon as he took office. It seemed that he was going to take some military action. Now in Liangzhou...

Geng Bi looked at Liu Ye: "Does Liu Junshou know the thoughts of this governor?"

Liu Ye slowly said, "The provincial governor is calling for a new army in Wuwei County, I'm afraid he wants to command his troops to fight, right?"

Geng Bi nodded: "Yes! Now that the imperial court has defeated the Qiang rebels, the rebels have been living in Liangzhou for a long time. This has always been a disaster. This governor intends to conquer the Beigong Boyu rebels."

Li Xiangru, the prefect of Longxi Province, immediately objected: "The governor, Liangzhou's rebellion will naturally be managed by the court. I only need to strengthen the walls and clear the land and keep the land and the people safe. Why bother the people and the wealth?"

Geng Bi snorted coldly, "What is meant to be laboring for the people and fortune? Is it possible that the imperial court does not need food and wages when it sends troops? Then it will not be the money and food from Liangzhou. Instead of this, it is better for me to wait for the rebellion to be put down.

Besides, the imperial court intends to abandon the matter of Sanfu, don’t you know that in the long run, we Liangzhou will still be the territory of the Han? "

Geng Bi was originally a native of Jincheng County, Liangzhou. Later, he named Xiaolian and entered Beijing as an official. Now the governor Zuo Chang is old and the court is thinking about going, so he simply sent this local origin and familiar with the situation as a governor. .

And Geng Bi himself is very dissatisfied with the situation in Liangzhou, especially the news of Zhang Wen's defeat has seriously stimulated him.

Li Xiangru wanted to speak out, but was yelled at by Geng Wei.

"Okay, this matter has already been decided, so please don't say more!"

After all, Geng Bi was the governor of Liangzhou. Although many prefectures objected, they had to shut up after seeing him make a decision.

However, at this time, many people turned their attention to Liu Ye. He was the county guard of Tianshui County and Anxi Zhonglang, and his reputation was naturally much better than them.

"Ju Shi, the Qiang rebels say there are still six to seven thousand. Zhang Cheqi cannot win with an army of one hundred thousand. The Liangzhou soldiers and horses are not enough to quell the rebellion, right?"

Liu Ye pondered for a while, then slowly said.

Geng Bi glanced at Liu Ye and sneered: "It's okay, what a certain said next is to solve this problem."

Liu Ye nodded and fell silent, maybe this Geng Bi really had any way.

"A certain issue of a recruiting order, the county guards can go back to recruit troops, double the existing military strength, and practice rigorously. After becoming an army, this governor will command Jincheng County to bring down the rebels in one fell swoop." Geng Bi slowly said.

"what?"

Huang Yan, the prefect of Jiuquan County, was surprised: "What? This is too much."

Jiuquan County can be regarded as the third largest county in Liangzhou. It has a population of nearly 60,000 and has a standing army of 5,000. If the army is doubled, it will be an army of 10,000. A population of 60,000 will support an army of 10,000. This is too hard... …

Li Xiangru, the prefect of Longxi, who had spoken against him before, suddenly said: "I'm waiting for the military to be militant. If the court finds out, what should I blame?"

Geng Bi snorted coldly: "The recruiting order was issued by a certain person. If the court really blames it, you must bear it!"

As long as the rebels can be wiped out, the court will only remember his great work in pacifying Liangzhou. As for what kind of military and military use, who will remember these things then?

When everyone saw that Geng Bi was so arbitrary, they couldn't say anything.

"Okay, the county guards don't stay too much, please go back. After March, the governor will lead the army to defeat the traitors."

Hearing Geng Bi's order to evict the guests, many county guards sighed and walked out of the governor's mansion unhappy. They gathered in twos and threes to discuss what should be done, with a sad face.

But Liu Ye didn't move, and Geng Bi couldn't help but raised his brows: "How come General Liu hasn't left yet? Could it be that this governor's description is not very clear, do I need to tell you again?"

Liu Ye looked at Geng Bi with a serious expression: "Although Zhang Cheqi is defeated, the court will soon elect a new general to manage the northwest. Geng Cishi used the newly recruited army to destroy the rebellion. It is certainly courageous, but..."

"But what?"

"Once it fails, not only will the governor's head be insecure, but the situation in the Northwest will be so eroded that the governor will think twice."

In history, Geng Bi organized the six counties of Liangzhou to crusade the rebels on their own. After the failure, Liangzhou was basically not under the control of the court. Dong Zhuo confronted the Kwantung princes. After his death, the situation in the Central Plains became chaotic. Cao Cao pacified the Central Plains non-stop. There was no time to take care of Liangzhou. Ma Teng Han Sui and others have dominated the northwest for decades. Later, when Cao Cao and Ma Chao fought six times in Tongguan Weishui, they dispatched Xia Houyuan to "Tiger Step Guan You". This was regarded as regaining control of Liangzhou.

Geng Bi shook his head: "It's man-made, whether it's forever, or stinking for thousands of years, this governor must never sit back and watch the traitor sit in Liangzhou."

Having said that, Geng Bi patted Liu Ye on the shoulder: "General Liu will train his troops after returning. Tianshui is the largest county in Liangzhou and the main force in countering the rebellion."

Liu Ye nodded when seeing Geng Bi's unchangeable expression.

It seems that this Geng Bian is a pragmatic faction who wants to do something in Liangzhou, but Liu Ye is now just a Tianshui county guard, naturally there is no way to refute the Liangzhou governor.

"I will retire at the end."

Having said that, Liu Ye walked out of the prefecture with Zhang Jai, and Zhang Jai couldn't help but said: "General, this provincial governor is very ambitious, but I am afraid this move is biased."

Tianshui County has a population of 170,000. Even if Liu Ye recruits another 10,000 army, he can barely afford it. But like Beidi County, Zhangye County, and Anding County, which have a population of 20,000 or 30,000, once the number of soldiers and horses is expanded, it will definitely be Will affect spring ploughing and reduce grain production.

"However, do I really want to recruit another 10,000 troops later?" Zhang Jai said worriedly.
