Chapter 485 Arranged properly
Compared with Shanyue, Jingman's situation is not much better.
Most of the Shanyue were divided into pieces. Not only did they go to war with the Han people, but they also fought with each other within the Shanyue. Sometimes they were more bloody and cruel than the conflict with the Han people.
The Han people actually did not kill Shanyue because the south lacked population. Therefore, once the Shanyue tribe was conquered by the Han people, they were often selected as soldiers, farmers, and the elderly, weak, women and children went down the mountain to organize households and people.
But between Shanyue, they fight for limited survival resources. The winning side will only choose the other party’s young and strong to annex the children, and the old and weak have no chance to survive. Even in disaster years or in areas with scarce resources, even the victorious side will not contain the young and strong, but choose to kill them all to sacrifice to the gods.
It is precisely because of this that Shanyue is called Baiyue. This hundred words are actually an imaginary number, which shows how powerful the Shanyue is to split.
The situation of Jingman is better than that of the mountains, because the degree of sinicization of Jingman is farther away than that of the mountains.
Barbarian kings like Shamoko have formed a tribal alliance of hundreds of thousands in Jingzhou, which can afford to support thousands of full-time full-time soldiers.
Interestingly, such a great barbarian king would be closer to the Eastern Han government than a small tribe.
First of all, it is because the tribal alliance is too large and it is not enough to maintain it by relying solely on its own strength. Just salt, cloth, pottery and other materials must rely on trade with the Han people.
The result of seeking from the Han people is that they must be close to the Han people, and to a certain extent, accept the rules and restrictions of the Eastern Han court in exchange for the power of trade.
However, it is worth noting that although these great barbarian kings show pro-Han, it does not mean that they are really pro-Han. Even if they are really close to the Han people, it does not mean that they will sacrifice their own interests for the Eastern Han Dynasty.
After all, the centralization level of the Barbarian King is far inferior to that of the Han people. There are also many factions within, some factions are even hostile to the Barbarian King, and are always looking for opportunities to overthrow the Barbarian King.
Once the barbarian king who is hostile to the Han people comes to power, it is often the beginning of a war of conquest.
The Jingman of the Eastern Han Dynasty gradually disappeared from history in such a cycle.
Liu Feng specially informed Pang Tong of these situations without reservation, and Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun, who were listening on the side, were also thinking.
After the explanation, Liu Feng did not let Pang Tong speak, but continued to introduce another place.
"The other place is the Duwei of Lujiang County, Jiangbei. This place is the Jiangbei area of Yangzhou, and the Dabie Mountains of Piling. There are also millions of Jingmans in the mountains. There are also two or three barbarian kings here. Among them, the most powerful one is Mei Yin, who has some relatives with his father and his generals Mei Yu and Mei Qian. This person has more than 100,000 tribes in Dabie Mountains and is quite powerful."
Afterwards, Liu Feng said to Pang Tong: "I will also select two thousand elite troops from Jingzhou, and then allow you to recruit 1,000 troops in Nanjun to recruit your family and recruit your family to follow the army. In addition, I will also transfer Zhou Jun from the Yangzhou army to lead 1,000 Yangzhou army to help you, and gather a total of 4,000 troops."
Pang Tong's lineup is luxurious, and Huang Zhong is much more famous than Wei Yan at this moment, let alone local tycoons such as Huo Du, Huo Jun, and Fu Tong.
Huang Zhong is a serious general of the Central Army, and there are only a few people in Jingzhou. It is no exaggeration to say that Huang Zhong is the first among Liu Cousin's direct descendants of foreign generals.
Cai Mao was a relative of the foreign country, Huang Zu was a vassal, and Liu Pan was a royal family. Huang Zhong's status as the number one general in the foreign surname can be comparable to these three, but his strength is naturally far inferior and cannot be compared.
Pang Tong was so grateful that he could no longer describe it in words. He could only hide this kind of kindness in his heart and repay Liu Feng's favor with his death.
Liu Feng asked in a whispering voice: "Shi Yuan, where do you want to choose to take office?"
Pang Tong was silent for a moment, but he asked without answering, "Where does the lord need me to go?"
Liu Feng laughed and understood that Pang Tong wanted to express his gratitude and loyalty to him in this way, so he accepted the other party and said, "Let's go to Jiangbei first. I will ask my father to send Mei Yu and Mei Qian and his son to help you."
Pang Tong felt Liu Feng's meticulousness and concern, and was so grateful that he could not speak, so he could only bow down to show respect.
Pang Tong's actions also infected Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun. The three of them bowed together. Liu Feng smiled and stepped forward to help them up one by one, holding his hands to expect, "You all have my best wishes. Don't protect yourself. Don't surrender. Failure is nothing. Take care of yourself and you can start over. If you leave yourself alone, how about you and my relatives and friends?"
Liu Feng's words were earnest and touching. Zhuge Liang and the other two burst into tears when they heard it. They wished they could cut out their loyalty and put it in front of Liu Feng.
After arranging the place for Zhuge Liang and the other two, Liu Feng did not rest, but called Lu Meng, Ling Cao and Quan Cong in.
Among the three, Lu Meng became the leader. Ling Cao and Lu Meng were intimately involved. Because of their age, Lu Meng was obviously the leader between the two. Quan Cong was new and naturally would not be unable to get along with Lu Meng and Ling Cao in order to integrate into the team. In addition, Lu Meng has a high emotional intelligence and Ling Cao is young, so he has such a result.
Liu Feng naturally did not pay as much attention to the three of them as Zhuge Liang and the other two.
Although Lu Meng is also a frequent visitor to the Wu Temple, his achievements and abilities may still be above Pang Tong. But it can't stand it. Pang Shiyuanyuan died in battle for Liu Feng's father in time and space.
After listening to Liu Feng's arrangement, Lu Meng and the other two immediately lit up their eyes. Obviously, they didn't expect that there would be such a good thing.
In fact, over the past year, Liu Feng has been constantly training Lu Meng and Ling Cao, and Quan Cong later has received training. Lu Meng and Ling Cao were trained since they arrived at Liu Feng. At first, they were asked to lead a soldier, gradually promoted to the first team, and then they were the centurion. When Quan Cong arrived, he took on the position of centurion, which was also related to his origins in a great family and his outstanding academic ability.
Although they have all been promoted to Du Bo in one go, it is certainly a test for the three people with excellent talent and ability, but Liu Feng is very confident in them.
After the three of them were surprised, they hurriedly bowed and shouted loudly: "We are willing to die for the lord!"
"You three can each choose one hundred people from the personal guard camp as the backbone."
Liu Feng was also extremely generous to Lu Meng and the other two, and understood that the biggest problem of forming an army was the lack of confidant backbones. Therefore, this gave them 100 backbones in one go, which was actually equivalent to over 100 elite veterans for them. If one hundred sets of iron armor was included, it would be enough to be ten.
Lu Meng and the other two had just heard that they had been released from the room and were directly promoted to Du Bo. They were also commanding troops under Zhuge Liang and the others, so they were already overjoyed. But I didn't expect that there was such a big pie waiting here, which was really overjoyed.
Looking at the excited look of Lu Meng and the other two, Liu Feng's mood also became better.
But on the surface, he pretended to be disgusted and waved his hand: "It seems that you don't want to stay by my side anymore. You will be so happy if you have to let go."
When Lu Meng and the other two heard this, they were stunned. Even Lu Meng, who was the most out of the three, was stunned, let alone Ling Cao, who was straightforward and Quan Cong, who was kind-hearted.
"Lord, I'm waiting, I'm waiting..."
Lu Meng, Ling Cao and Quan Cong were so anxious that they all felt cold sweat. They knelt on the ground together, wanting to explain. "Okay, OK."
Liu Feng laughed out loud, no longer teasing them, but helped the three of them up one by one: "I'm just a joke with you, not like this, please get up quickly."
After appeased Lu Meng and the other two, Liu Feng said, "You and the other three go find Kong Ming and the others to issue a document, and then go to General Jia's office. He will arrange for you to choose the surrendered soldiers in Jingzhou."
Lu Meng and the other two responded respectfully and agreed in unison.
After watching Lu Meng and the other two leave, Liu Feng finally called Xu Chu in and then ordered: "Zhongkang, prepare for it and go to the Kuai family mansion in the city."
"Here!"
Xu Chu responded and immediately turned around and prepared to go out for arrangements, but Liu Feng stopped him again.
After Xu Chu turned around, he heard Liu Feng ask, "Zhongkang, Lu Meng and the other two have been sent by me to make achievements. Do you have any envy in your heart? If you want to have an external position, please tell me that I will find a beautiful position for you."
Xu Chu felt warm in his heart and replied respectfully: "Chu has no extraordinary talent. Only with his strength and being able to keep his lord is Xu Chu's great glory. He dare not have any more thoughts about him."
Liu Feng smiled with satisfaction and stopped talking, but he was determined to always make some contributions to Xu Chu going out.
In completely different from the Romance of Legend, Xu Chucheng in official history was calm, had a very high emotional intelligence, and was loyal to Cao Cao, but he was immediately attracted by Cao Pi as a confidant general after Cao Cao's death and continued to be responsible for protecting Cao Pi in close proximity.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
How good the old Cao family is to be jealous and suspicious is that it was passed down from Cao Cao's lineage.
This shows how outstanding Xu Chu's emotional intelligence is.
Although Cao Cao did not give Xu Chu the chance to make achievements on the battlefield, he did not treat Xu Chu badly, and was granted a title as a marquis and a title as a leader, which was extremely trusted and favored.
The fact that Cao Cao was born into a powerful warrior like Xu Chu was able to join the core group of Cao Wei in the end, which was enough to prove Cao Cao's kindness to Xu Chu.
However, Liu Feng always felt a pity because he felt that Xu Chu was so careful, cautious, brave and steady, he was actually quite like a famous general. He actually wanted to see Xu Chu be able to achieve success on the battlefield and be granted the title of marquis.
Xu Chu claimed the crime, turned around and left, went out to summon his personal guards, preparing for the reason for departure.
After a cup of tea, Liu Feng, accompanied by Xu Chu, walked out of the mansion, boarded the carriage, and tried his best to go to the Kuai family's mansion with chariot light.
As soon as Liu Feng left the mansion, he was like throwing a stone in a lake, which attracted the attention of many families. But due to the power of Liu Fengjun, these families only dared to hide from afar and watch, and none of them dared to get close.
The Kuai family's mansion is actually quite close to the prefecture. The two brothers Kuai Yue are Liu Biao's major shareholders and hold important positions in Jingzhou Prefecture. Many things about Liu Biao and Jingzhou need to be discussed with them, so they will naturally not leave very far.
Kuai Yue is still in Jiangling City, while Kuai Liang has just returned to Xiangyang from Wancheng.
Since Cao's army took over Wancheng, Kuai Liang, who was the prefect of Nanyang in Wancheng, returned to Xiangyang day and night. But when he returned to Xiangyang, Kuai Liang did not ask to see Liu Feng, nor did he visit other families, but went directly into Kuai's mansion and stayed in the door. It has been four days since then.
During these four days, Kuai Liang closed his door to thank the guests. Not only did he not receive the children of the great gentry and powerful families in Xiangyang, he did not go out of the mansion to pay homage to Liu Feng, but he just stayed in the Kuai family's mansion.
Kuai Liang's behavior is easily considered to be against the local rulers. Kuai Liang himself is a famous scholar in Jingzhou and has a very high reputation in Jingzhou. In particular, assisting Liu Biao to stabilize Jingzhou, Kuai Liang was not only famous, but also made contributions to Jingzhou.
For a moment, Xiangyang City, which had just relaxed, became a little nervous again.
People in Jingzhou who are close to Liu Feng will be worried about Kuai Liang's safety, and at the same time hope that Liu Feng can generously forgive the other party's rudeness. Those who hate Liu Feng or want to speculate are paying attention in secret, hoping that fierce conflicts broke out between Liu Feng, Kuai Liang and even the Kuai family so that they can have the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
At this moment, Liu Feng left the prefecture and headed to the Kuai family mansion, which undoubtedly reached the critical point.
For a moment, the people in Xiangyang, from aristocratic families, powerful merchants, to peddlers and ordinary people, were waiting for the development of things. Almost under the gaze of everyone, Liu Feng got off the carriage at the entrance of the Kuai family's mansion and then ordered Xu Chu to knock on the door.
Soon, the small door next to the main door opened and an old man walked out from it, the butler of the Kuai Mansion.
As soon as he saw Liu Feng, the butler of Kuai's mansion immediately bowed down and bowed to Liu Feng.
After seeing Liu Feng nodding, Xu Chu stepped forward to ask the old man and said, "General Zuo had already given a famous sect before and wanted to visit Kuai Mansion today. General Zuo has arrived now, why don't you open the middle door to welcome the distinguished guests?"
The butler of Kuai Mansion smiled bitterly and said, "My master has been bedridden since he returned to the mansion a few days ago. The famous sect sent by General Left has been sent to the master, but it has not been dealt with."
When Liu Feng heard this, his brows moved slightly.
Kuai Liang was actually sick.
I just don’t know if this disease is a real disease or a fake disease, a physical disease or a heart disease.
So, without waiting for Xu Chu to continue speaking, Liu Feng stepped forward with some rudeness and said, "Since the teacher is sick, I shouldn't have bothered me. But the teacher is a famous scholar in Jingzhou. Now he is in a state of health. If he can't see it with his own eyes, how can I feel relieved?"
"Let's open the middle door, and I will go to the house to see the sir."
Liu Feng turned around and ordered, "Let the car stop outside the mansion."
According to the rules, the car driver actually had to enter the mansion. With such a noble guest as Liu Feng, the host naturally had to dismantle the door lintel to welcome the passenger car driver into the mansion.
But now that Kuai Liang is sick, Liu Feng naturally cannot ask for too much.
If it weren't for the disagreement of reason, he wouldn't mind entering through the small door.
