Chapter 474 Tiger General
Yanmen County, Yanmen County.
Since the main force of Liu Wu and Zhou troops were annihilated here last year, the five counties in Yanmen have now been owned by Zhao State.
Yanmen County has now been merged with Taiyuan County, and they are all merged into the Taiyuan Prefecture, which is one prefecture and two prefectures.
Now the county commander Gao Chu is accompanying Su Su, the lord of Yanmen Prefecture, to inspect the newly reclaimed two thousand acres of land.
Now, the winter wheat sown last winter is already mature on these thousand acres of fields. The people are busy harvesting in the wheat fields.
Su Su pointed to the field and asked Gao Chu: "You said that the newly reclaimed two thousand acres of land are military or civilian land."
Gao Chu pointed forward and reported to Su Su: "Report to the Duke, the 1,200 acres of land on the north slope are civil garrison land, and the 800 acres of land on the south slope are military garrison land. Because Liu Wuzhou invaded the territory last year, the township soldiers were training and were not allowed to empty the farming. Therefore, he agreed with the people that the 800 acres of land would be cultivated for us by the people, and then the two sides would be divided into 55."
Su Su nodded when she heard this and said, "I did a good job."
Su Su and Gao Chu walked along the fields for a while. The people on both sides were sweating with sickles on their heads, and there were village soldiers wearing miscellaneous clothes to help.
There is also a fire pier in the field in the distance, with soldiers watching.
Su Su casually asked an old farmer and said, "How is the old man's harvest this year?"
This old farmer is also accustomed to the world. Although he didn't know that Su Su was the highest commander of Taiyuan Prefecture, he also knew that he was an official. He replied calmly: "This official, Liu Wuzhou had indulged the Turks at this time and buried grass valleys everywhere. We people worked hard to plant fields and fed horses to them. Now, when the traitor Liu Wuzhou died, he did not see the Hu cavalry after the beginning of spring this year. The people also had the courage to leave their respective villages to make a living."
"You see, it's all the best fields here. The old man, my whole family, and the six-year-old doll, have come to help. They all rely on the blessing of King Zhao to expel Hu Qi and eat enough this year. It's no problem."
Su Suyan said: "The King is a Zhao man, how could he not want to benefit the people of his neighbors?"
Su Su was very satisfied and immediately rewarded the old farmer with twenty cents. The old farmer did not refuse. Haha, after taking the money, he continued to go to the field to work.
Su Su said to Gao Chuyan: "The people are generous and honest. With such people, it is not difficult to govern the country in the future."
Gao Chuyan said, "That's not yet. Yanmen is a border county. It has always had poor resources and the people are poor. If all the people in Yanmen can live a good life this year, let alone the people in Taiyuan and Shanggu counties."
Su Su and Gao Chu walked from the field to the official road, and the entourage in the mansion prepared a car for Su Su.
Su Su said to Gao Chuyan: "This inspection made me very relieved. When Liu Wuzhou was in Yanmen, he levyed bribes and forced the civil servants to be entrusted. In order to flatter the Turks, he even asked the Turks to release horses and eat green seedlings in farmland, causing the people of the three counties to live in miserable life. The King of Wei once said that water can carry boats and can also overturn the boats. If you are an official here, you should think of benefiting the people, otherwise don't talk about King Zhao. Even the Censor will not spare you."
Gao Chu heard Su Su say the word "Supervisor" and the censor was a little cold on his back.
After Li Chongjiu established the official system, he appointed Lu Chengqing as the censor, and under the censor, two censors, the chief censor and four censors.
Below the attendant censor, there is also the Censor. The Censor's official position is the seventh rank since the seventh rank. Although the official position is low, the authority is extremely high.
The Censor can impeach hundreds of corpses, identify injustices, and inspect prefectures and counties, which are the departments of the court's eyes and disciplines. Each county has a seventh-rank supervisor and censor who inspects the Censorate. Each county also has a seventh-rank supervisor and censor who supervises the Censorate. Any official who is illegal can report it directly to the Censorate, or even submit a report directly to Li Chongjiu, and there is no need to pass the Secretariat. The Censor serves as an official, and never transfers from the outside, or from the outside. He will be in the Censorate for his whole life. Therefore, the Censor does not have to sell anyone's account.
Gao Chu heard Su Su's instructions and immediately clasped his fists and said that he was.
So Gao, Chu, Su and Su drove to the barracks. The barracks were set up above the Yanmen Pass, and to the north was Sanggan Town in Loufan County.
When Liu Wuzhou was in charge of rebellion, Chen Xiaoyi and Wang Zhibian led their troops to raid Liu Wuzhou and surrounded Liu Wuzhou in Sanggan Town, but the Turkic cavalry suddenly killed them to rescue them. Chen Xiaoyi and Wang Zhibian were defeated.
Later, Liu Wuzhou stationed troops in Sanggan Town and Yanmen County, and frequently invaded the south. This time, he conquered Yanmen County, and Gao Chu stationed the main force of the township soldiers on this natural barrier and guarded the pass. Su Su couldn't help but sigh when he saw the natural barrier of Yanmen Pass.
The guards surrounded Su Su Cheqiqiqi and arrived at the military camp. Before the car arrived at the gate, Gao Chu and Su Su walked into the camp.
Su Su went to the school ground first, and Gao Chu ordered the soldiers in the camp to practice.
Seeing that the soldiers were well-trained and were very satisfied, Su Su said to Gao Chuyan: "Your village soldiers are not much inferior to the Wuwei Army in Jinyang City."
Gao Chu said proudly: "This army was stationed in Yanmen for many years. Since Liu Wuzhou has fought dozens of battles, he has fought no fewer than the Wu Guards. Many of the soldiers are veterans who have experienced many battles."
Su Su asked Gao Chu: "How many people are stationed in Yanmen Pass?"
Gao Chu said seriously: "There are two thousand horses, of which two hundred guerrillas, one thousand five hundred soldiers, and three hundred auxiliary troops."
Su Su nodded happily when she heard this.
Seeing that Su Su was in a good mood, Gao Chu took the opportunity to say, "Your Majesty, our soldiers can be riding and shooting, but there are too few horse soldiers, not many hard bows, and there are no strong crossbows. You are content with the fact that you can open a crossbow, step on a crossbow, but you can't get a crossbow, but at least you can get a crossbow with thirty or fifty crossbows."
After hearing Gao Chu say this, Su Su pointed Gao Chu with a hand and said, "I'm just talking lightly. I'll give you the position of Mushou in Taiyuan Prefecture. If you can get these, I have nothing to say. This time I go to inspect the local counties, and the officials in the county will cry for me, so don't come here for me."
Gao Chu heard this and cried out and said, "Qi Gong, aren't I discussing with you? The rural soldiers are so poorly equipped, and they are more than one piece of the Wuwei Army stationed in Jinyang City. Among the Wuwei Army, there are two thousand Mingguang Armor alone, not to mention two armors and fish scale armor."
Su Suyan said: "The Wuwei Army is a government army. Can your hometown soldiers compare with the Wuwei Army? The Ministry of War has long issued a clear order, and only the iron armor can be equipped with the palace army. The township army is only allowed to use leather armor and bows and arrows. As for the horse army, there is no limit on the horse army's escorts, but I think it is not easy for you to raise these two hundred horse soldiers. Where can I get the extra food and salary to supply the horse army?"
Gao Chu smiled and said, "Report to the Lord of the House, it's fine if you do the rest, but you don't have to worry about the Ma Jun. Just agree."
Su Su stopped hearing this. The four government troops of Zhao State were directly under the imperial court. Although Yuchi Gong was stationed in Jinyang, he did not obey Su's orders. He would be transferred in the future, which was only a matter of Li Chongjiu's words.
Therefore, there are only rural soldiers in Taiyuan Prefecture, and they belong to the mobilization of the prefecture.
If Gao Chu could strengthen the strength of the village soldiers, Su Su would also be a strong helper for the safety of Taiyuan Prefecture. What's more, although Liu Wuzhou died, the remaining troops Song Jingang and Yuan Junzhang still occupied Loufan and Mayi, and were still very threatening to Yanmen and the north of Taiyuan.
Su Su asked: "How did you get the Ma army?"
Gao Chu lowered his voice and said to Su Suyan: "In the news of Loufan County, Yuan Junzhang was taking hundreds of Turkic horses from the Turks. He is now grazing in the Laosha River area of Sanggan Town. It is only a thousand miles away, so I have the intention to get it."
Su Su frowned and said, "The news of this matter is accurate, is it not Yuan Junzhang's plan?"
Gao Chu smiled and said, "There will be no mistake. This news is mine from Li's family in Zhongshan."
Su Su was a little convinced. Since Li Chongjiu decided to recognize the Li family in Zhongshan as his sect, Loufan, Mayi and the Li clans scattered in various counties have moved to Yanmen and settled in Taiyuan, and now there are three or four thousand people.
Although Li Chongjiu was not as generous as Li Yuan, he almost turned Li Tang into a family business, but Li Chongjiu also had to take care of the Li family in Zhongshan, which were all universal values of the people at that time. In particular, the people in the north still valued clans.
The people of Yan and Zhao have always loved martial arts. Generally, large clans ordered their children to practice bows and horses, learn martial arts, and protect themselves. The Li family in Zhongshan is no exception.
Li Chongjiu recruited 100 people from the Li clan into Linshuo Palace and served as soldiers of the palace guards. In Yanmen and Taiyuan, the Li clan members chose many people to join the prefecture and township army.
Su Su immediately met a captain under Gao Chu, whose name was Li Wei, who came from the Li family in Zhongshan.
Li Wei asked Su Su: "Do you think there are Yuan Junzhang's cavalry herding horses by the Laosha River?"
Li Weiyan said: "Yes, I'll report to the Lord of the Mansion, my tribe members have just fled to Yanmen from there, and they know that."
Su Su nodded and said, "Can there be more news?"
Li Weiyan said: "Yes, since Liu Wuzhou's death, Yuan Junzhang and Song Jingang were in a disagreement. Yuan Junzhang and Turkic Yushe colluded with each other. Ashina Momo was the son of Chuluo Khan. Yuan Junzhang had clinged to Ashina Momo and was named Daxingtai for Chuluo Khan to succeed Liu Wuzhou."
Su Su heard the words and said, "Then isn't Song Jingang's situation difficult?"
"That seems to be that Song Jingang and more than 2,000 old subordinates were stationed in Loufan County. This winter, it seems that food is very scarce, and the soldiers have many complaints."
Su Su nodded and Gao Chuyan said, "It's good to take the opportunity to attack and capture these hundreds of war horses when Song Jingang and Yuan Junzhang were in conflict."
Su Su scolded: "Hundreds of war horses are nothing. If we can instigate Song Jingang, our army will not be able to add a general in vain."
Li Wei and Gao Chu looked at each other after hearing this.
