Chapter 373 Three Orders

Yang Qing stayed in Hanzhong for eight days before he could handle everything clearly with Ma Su. Early this morning, Yang Qing, Yang Xi, Liu Yin and his group left Nanzheng under the farewell of Ma Su, Li Yu and other officials in Hanzhong, and began to rush to the new battlefield in Longyou.

When passing by Mianyang, Yang Qing went to Wudang Feijun Camp and gave a few instructions to Wang Ping and others, ordering them to fill up the 10,000 troops as soon as possible and practice diligently in preparation for the next battle.

After leaving Mianyang, Yang Qing and his group soon left Hanzhong and entered the Wudu County border. Even if they set foot on the land of Yongzhou, they had already established the system issued by the court, Wudu County was under the jurisdiction of Yongzhou, while the adjacent Yinping County was under the jurisdiction of Yizhou.

So now Yang Qing, the governor of Yongzhou, already has six counties: Wudu, Longxi, Nan'an, Tianshui, Guangwei and Anding. As long as you recover the three counties in Guanzhong, Fufeng, Fengyi and Jingzhao, his Yongzhou can be restored to complete.

The current prefect of Wudu is Ma Dai, but others are not here now. Instead, they go to Liangzhou to recruit Qianghu according to the order of Zhuge Liang. Therefore, Yang Qing did not stay in Wudu for a long time, and then continued to rush up to the upper brigade after a night of rest.

He walked and stayed overnight and said nothing. A few days later, Yang Qing and his party finally returned to the current capital of the Yongzhou Governor's Mansion, and he himself officially took office.

The second day after settling down, Yang Qing announced three orders in a row.

The first order was that he formally recruited Yang Xi as the governor of Yongzhou as a member of the army, Liu Yin as a military officer, Qin Kuang as the chief clerk, Tao Gong as the Sima of the front, Zhou Xing as the governor of the tent, Wu Que as the governor of the army, and Yue Zhao as the official under the tent.

He also invited scholars from Longyou to participate in the examination. He wanted to give the exams personally. Those with excellent grades could be recruited. After all, there were still Gong Cao in the governor's office, discussing Cao, encouraging students, secting scholars, secting scholars, and ministries, and scholars, and many other officials were vacant, and the selection of talents was needed to enrich the provincial capital.

The second order was to order the counties to draw 300 elite county soldiers to Shangqiu to gather. He wanted to form a state soldiers directly belonging to the governor's office based on these 1,800 soldiers.

According to the system, the governor of a state can be under the command of four thousand troops, and the governor's office is divided into four Sima commanders, front, back, left and right.

Therefore, Yang Qing decided that in addition to recruiting some new recruits, he also had to draw a group of old soldiers from each county, so that the state soldiers could not only be formed quickly, but also quickly formed combat effectiveness, which was a killing of two birds with one stone.

Of course, this matter was led by Liu Yin, the chief general of the state and the military commander, and Qin Kuang, the chief general of the cavalry, assisted by Sima, the front-level army.

As for the third order, the most important order, it reminds the counties that the most urgent task is to deal with the upcoming summer harvest. All counties and counties must send officials to the countryside to inspect the farming affairs and help the people collect grain.

The Guanlong area mainly planted corn and wheat, while the wheat is winter wheat, which is usually sown from mid-to-late September to early October, and mature from the end of May to mid-to-late June of the following year.

It is the end of May now and the wheat is about to be harvested.

Although the counties experienced wars in the past few months, due to the strict military discipline of the Han army and the recapture of most county towns without bloodshed, most of the farmland in Longyou was still well preserved.

It also has good weather and weather last year and this year, so this year's summer harvest can still have a large amount of grain stored.

This batch of grain is related to the lives of the people this year and the upcoming Liangzhou regaining war. Therefore, not only Yang Qing attaches great importance to Xia Shu, but even Wei Yan is very concerned about this matter. He has planned to send soldiers to help the people around Shangji harvest wheat.

The wheat fields in Shangqiu County are the largest wheat fields in Longyou, and more than half of them belong to official fields. In the past, Cao Wei implemented military camps for these official fields and all the harvested food was assigned to the army. Therefore, the military rations in Longyou are mostly supplied by Shangqiu, which is also one of the reasons why Shangqiu became the number one important town in Longyou.

After the Han army recovered Longyou, it carefully protected the wheat fields in Shangqi. Not only did it continue to follow the Wei rules to implement military camps, but it also assigned 3,000 Wei soldiers captured last time to specialize in farming and maintenance, so that the Han army soldiers were removed from the military camp so that they could concentrate on training.

On this day, the weather was clear and the wind was bright. Yang Qing and Wei Yan went out of the city to observe the maturity of wheat.

When they arrived at the nearest village outside the city, Yang Qing and others looked around and saw the yellow wheat ears, full grains and heavy. A breeze hit, just like layers of golden waves surging, and another fragrance drifted with the wind. Everyone was breathing quietly, feeling refreshed. This was the smell of ripe food.

"In a few days, this wheat can be harvested, right?" Yang Qing stood on the ridge of the field, held a wheat ear casually, and looked at the wheat grains on it carefully.

The fellow villager who was waiting on the side replied: "I'm the envoy, that's right, the common people are ready to harvest in three days."

"Well, okay, if you have any difficulties, just tell the county that the government can help with farm tools and manpower."

The fellow villagers hurriedly bowed and said, "I am kind and kind, and I thank you for your kindness and kindness."

Yang Qing waved his hand with a smile, then looked elsewhere, but when he saw Wei Yan coming from the opposite side, he went up and asked, "Can General Wen Chang feel relieved after he has gone around?"

"Well, although Longyou suffered a war this year, the wheat grew well. With this batch of grain in storage, it would be possible to capture Liangzhou this year." Wei Yan replied in a muffled voice.

It turned out that Wei Yan invited Yang Qing to go out to supervise the farmers today. Because this batch of grain was related to whether the war to recover Liangzhou could start within this year, Wei Yan was more concerned than Yang Qing, the governor, for fear of something wrong with Xia Sheng.

"Haha, General Wen Chang, just don't worry. In fact, you don't have to be too nervous. Even if the local food is not enough to support the army's western expedition, the Qing Dynasty believed that even if they wanted to transport food and grass from Hanzhong, the Prime Minister would launch a war to recover Liangzhou in the second half of the year."

Yang Qing looked around and saw that everyone was far away, so he felt relieved and whispered: "It's so good for General Wen Chang to know that when the Qing Dynasty returned to Chengdu, the Eastern Wu Zhuge Jin came to envoy. According to him, the Eastern Wu side might have to launch a large-scale war against Cao Wei in the near future, and the Wu Lord Sun Quan intended to send troops to respond.

Therefore, once the war in Eastern Wu happened, Cao Wei's attention would definitely move eastward. It was hard to say at that time, but Cao Wei in Liangzhou would definitely be out of reach, so the Prime Minister would never miss this fighter. Once the military order arrived, the general was about to recover Liangzhou."

"Oh, what happened? If the Eastern Wu and Cao Wei really fought, it would be God's help to me." After hearing this, Wei Yan was both surprised and happy.

Yang Qing nodded: "It should be true. Sun Quan brought a letter with his handwritten letter, and Lu Xun also had the same intention in his letter."

In fact, Yang Qing was sure that this was true, because he knew that the war that the Eastern Wu was currently preparing for was the Shiting Battle, which was originally famous in history. In this battle, hundreds of thousands of soldiers from both sides of the Wu and Wei participated in the battle, which was extremely large in scale, and finally ended with the victory of the Eastern Wu.

In history, it was because of the fact that Ji Han's first Northern Expedition was repelled. During the Battle of Shiting, Cao Wei could rest assured to focus his main energy on the east side. However, now that Ji Han won a great victory in his first Northern Expedition, whether Cao Wei dared to focus most of his attention on the eastern front was unknown.

However, it is certain that even though Cao Wei is still full of defense against Ji Han, as long as the Battle of Shiting begins, Cao Wei will not dare to invest too much troops on the Western Front, so this is a rare opportunity for Ji Han anyway.

"That's the case, it should be almost the same." Wei Yan said excitedly: "I just hope this day will come soon."
