The north wind blows, and the flag flutters.

The monkey who occupied Hanchuan City finally received the long-awaited "array plate" reward. As a loyal person, he pulled all the prisoners of the three major families out and chopped them up without saying a word.

Of course, even if you can't receive things, people still have to kill them. Once hatred is involved, they can only be eradicated.

After looking at the array plates in the box and confirming that they were all real people, the monkey ran away with joy. Unfortunately, there are not many good deals that can expand the territory and obtain generous rewards.

"Mr. Marquis, something is not good. Just now, the horse was coming, and an army was coming to Hanchuan, with a total of 30,000 to 40,000 people, less than eighty miles away from here."

The rat-eyed man with a dog-headed military advisor looked frightened.

With his understanding of his boss, when he encounters such an opportunity to show off, the more incompetent he acts, the better he must not steal the boss's limelight.

"snort!"

After a cold shout, the monkey rushed to the sky cursed angrily: "Baoman! This little thing is worthy of your fuss.

The troops in Liangzhou were all dragged down by the chief tutor's actions, and most of the surrounding counties were the territory of various rebels. Those who could send troops to rescue Hanchuan were the three Li family brothers entrenched in the south.

But they were still late. If I were still afraid of them before breaking through Hanchuan, everything would be different now.

Let me continue to order the battalions to strengthen their vigilance and not give the enemy any opportunity to take advantage of it. I will fight the three brothers of the Li family in Hanchuan City!"

There is no doubt that being able to defend the five counties and not be affected by the outside world is also achieved through battle.

As an old neighbor, the monkey of Tianzhe had never suffered less from the three brothers of Li Mu. He was beaten to cry and call his parents several times. If Li Mu hadn't worked hard, the monkey of Tianzhe would have become a dead monkey a few years ago.

One mistake can bring wisdom.

If it is not easy to mess with, I will naturally not mess with it. The biggest reason why I dare to send troops to Hanchuan this time is that Li Mu's three brothers left office and the protective hole in the southwest of Hanchuan was opened.

The experience is not lying to others, and the officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty really don’t like to meddle in other people’s business. The three resigned brothers, Li Mu, really ignored his invasion of Hanchuan.

Just now, I have taken action, and I have received orders from the superiors and have to do it.

The monkey has fought such a battle many times. As long as the opponent knows that they are not easy to mess with, they will withdraw their troops soon.

The officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty were all bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. They were absolutely necessary and few were willing to fight to the death.

He thought he knew the monkey who knew the officialdom of the Great Zhou Dynasty very well and adopted the usual routine without hesitation.

...

Looking at the towering Hanchuan City, Li Mu did not launch a strong attack immediately, but instead attracted a group of remaining children from aristocratic families.

"You have been in Hanchuan for so long, don't tell me that I have not installed a spy in the Scented Incense Sect. I am going to regain Hanchuan City. Now it's your turn to do your work."

You can tell from the tone, but there is no doubt. If you do it well, there may not be any reward. If you mess it up, you will definitely be unlucky.

But people had to bow their heads under the eaves. Now they don’t accept the letter of surrender, and after they recovered Hanchuan City, they will have nothing to do.

If they cannot get the family industry and have no resource support, they will disappear into the long river of history like countless small and medium-sized families.

Most of the leaders in the rebels are unwilling to be transformed into wealthy families.

To sum it up in one sentence, that is: if I don’t give me a cake, I will rebel.

But this step is not undesirable, no one is willing to take it.

After all, although the Great Zhou seemed to be in a state of rebellion, the rebellion lasted for more than 9,000 years and did not really die. Who knows how long this behemoth can last?

...

The battle for recovery has just begun, and the issue of appointments of Hanchuan County officials has been put on the agenda in advance.

In the provincial governor's mansion, Zhao Tianyun was at a loss. In the past five years, the situation in Liangzhou has collapsed so quickly that it is far beyond anyone's imagination.

The former governor of the state lost his post because of this, and his successor was not much better. If this situation continues, it will probably not be long before he will be punished by the court.

The source of everything is - the "Mysterious Array Plate". As long as this thing appears near the city wall, it will affect the operation of the formation and make people unpredictable.

The troops in various places have long been decayed and there is no city defense formation as a support. There is a problem that will not lose the city and the land will be lost.

"Hanchuan fell, and now almost all the southwestern Liangzhou is in the hands of the rebels. Do you have any good solutions to the aftermath?"

Good strategy, the current situation in Liangzhou is no longer something that can be solved with one or two good strategies.

If you want to reverse the deteriorating situation, you either rectify the administration of officials, suppress the powerful families, and restore the combat effectiveness of the local army; or you can fully relax restrictions and use the power of the aristocratic families to solve the urgent needs first.

Unfortunately, both roads are not easy to walk.

The rectification of the administration and suppression of powerful families will not be able to continue to be implemented.

Releasing restrictions on aristocratic families is to quench thirst. The situation can indeed be stabilized in the short term, but the finances will be completely collapsed.

When it comes to digging for the corners of the Great Zhou Dynasty, all the wealthy families in the world are the same. The difference is that everyone just wants to dig by themselves, and they don’t want to see others dig with them.

Everyone is smart, and knows that if the Great Zhou is hollowed out, no one can get it.

If the dynasty has changed the tripod, who can it be destroyed if it does not remove the lives of these aristocratic families?

"Mr. The minister of the state, it is better to submit the court to the court, and submit to Li Mu, Li Liang and Li Song as the acting governor of Hanchuan County, county magistrate and county magistrate, and be responsible for the recovery of Hanchuan."

After hearing what others said, Zhao Tianyun frowned. There is no doubt that such an appointment of an official position must be in compliance with the rules.

Before he could veto the veto, the censor on the side objected: "This matter must not be done. Taizu's ruler shall not be allowed to be an official in the same yamen, let alone an important position such as county magistrate, county magistrate, and county magistrate.

The three brothers of the Li family are indeed not bad at their abilities, and they are not a problem with their loyalty to the court. However, we still cannot take risks by handing over the military and political power to the whole family."

According to the official words of Dazhou, good abilities = good background and high loyalty = pay the taxes under the rule on time and in full.

To meet these two requirements, it is an excellent bureaucrat. People no longer dare to expect more requirements because they cannot do it themselves.

If the standards for officials are really raised, it will not be beneficial to everyone. After all, the mainstream is still the nobles, and they cannot do things that are strict with others and lenient with themselves.

Zhizun, who was standing aside, explained: "Mr. Censor, follow the expedient things!

Hanchuan County is all in the hands of the rebels, and the prefecture is now unable to withdraw troops, so it is not appropriate for anyone to send to serve.

Anyway, it is justified for the time being. After the Hanchuan is recovered, they will be transferred away."

Nothing else matters, the key is that Hanchuan fell into the hands of the rebels.

The Great Zhou Empire was so big that when the imperial court sent people over, the daylily was rotten.

In this context, officials are temporarily appointed by the prefecture to temporarily serve as county magistrates, county magistrates, and county magistrates, to handle government affairs and exercise the powers of the court.

Obviously, this is a chore. If you can recover the lost land in a short period of time, that would be fine.

If you can't recover the lost territory for several years, it would be embarrassing. Not to mention anything else, if you have such a lot in your personal resume, you don't have to think about promotions.

But this kind of chore is not something that ordinary people can do. The appointment of personnel in the Dazhou is ruled, usually either transfer or promoted to one level, and it is impossible to cross several levels.

The officials below are not qualified, and the important officials such as the state governor and the censor cannot serve as part-time positions, so they can only be unlucky for a group of officials.

In the past five years, these officials have changed four times.

Most of the unlucky guys are still on their heads as acting as a county magistrate or a county magistrate in a certain place. If you want to become a regular person, then look forward to the smooth quelling of the rebellion!

Otherwise, in order to maintain the dignity of the court, they would have to live with these false posts for the rest of their lives.

Originally, even if you can't get rid of it, now that some warriors have taken the initiative to take over the mess, these officials naturally have to work hard to help.

As for what the three Li Mu brothers wanted to do, they no longer cared about so much. Anyway, he didn't get rid of the trouble and sold a favor, which was a huge profit no matter how you look at it.

...

After the symbolic battle of the siege at Hanchuan City, Li Mu decisively ordered the withdrawal of troops, which made a lot of local families cry and cry.

"Brother Thirteenth, isn't it a pity to miss such a good opportunity now?"

Li Song asked in confusion.

He clearly opened the city gate but did not attack in the situation. In terms of military affairs, this is a complete failure.

"What's the rush? I want to divide my troops to recover the various places. Let these rebels in Hanchuan City become lonely, and then slowly get rid of them.

Don’t forget that Brother Six is ​​the lieutenant of Xicheng County. The main force of the Tianhou who runs into the sky is trapped here. Isn’t that the best opportunity to take back Xicheng County?”

As soon as Li Mu finished speaking, Li Liang, who was standing aside, understood what was going on.

"Holding the enemy to respect himself" is a trick that is old-fashioned, but I have to admit that this is indeed very effective.

It is still unknown whether the court can allow their brothers to move into Hanchuan. However, the Xicheng County Magistrate led his troops to recover Xicheng County and the actual position of county magistrate was required by the court.

It is not only the promise of the prefecture, but also a political need. If the capable ministers who recovered lost lands are not rewarded, how can the Great Zhou Empire pacify the world?

Xicheng County is not as rich as the Hanchuan Basin, and it is also a county. The aristocratic families in the county were harmed by the rebels again, and they could not resist the Li family's entry.

In this era of catching grass and fighting rabbits, it is absolutely right to put one more flag in this era of horse racing and land grabbing.

In the end, it depends on the choice of the court, whether to throw them together or let them spread out in a scattered manner.

As long as you don’t get a satisfactory reply, the rebels will continue to be active. Maybe one day, Liangzhou Prefecture will fall into the hands of the rebels.
