Chapter 714: Dispatching troops will have a long-term plan

Shortly after the seal ceremony ended, the Crouching Tiger Merchant Exhibition officially opened after the King of Pingxi knocked on the big gong in front of the gate of the peasant, soldiers and merchants.

The business exhibition that has been held once has opened again. Many streets and venues are ready-made, and the officials in the preparation team are already familiar with it, so basically Zhao Xing needs to worry about anything else.

The open and secret negotiations with all forces have been completed, and the rest is to pay money with one hand, deliver goods with the other hand or hand. Such things without technical content are naturally supervised by Wang Yun, Chen Gui, Li Ru and others. Zhao Xing has been completely liberated and can calm down and spend a few days of leisure with his family.

Given Liu Yu's outstanding ability in governing internal affairs, especially his good at dealing with ethnic issues, Zhao Xing did not hesitate to transfer Liu Yu into the Western Regions, which urgently needed a large number of civil servants. Zhao Xing was relieved to let Guan Yu guard the Western Regions and control the military power of more than 100,000 troops. But he was still a little worried that his elder brother Guan Yu was too murderous. If he couldn't kill him, he would leave the Western Regions without anyone, which would inevitably affect Zhao Xing's future process of conquering the Central Asian region to the west.

Liu Yu is a gentle person, but he is not an indecisive person. He can always stick to his inner thoughts. When he was appointed as the governor of Youzhou, he formed a bond with Gongsun Zan because he strongly advocated the use of gentle and soothing methods to appease the surrounding aliens. Now Gongsun Zan is in Jizhou and Liu Yu is in the Western Regions, so similar things will naturally not happen.

Some people may worry whether Liu Yu would not be able to get along with Guan Yu, and there would be conflicts between civil and military officials. After repeated thinking, Zhao Xing believed that this possibility was so small that it could be ignored, so he made such a major adjustment.

Because from the beginning, Zhao Xing clearly distinguished the two lines of military and political affairs. Military generals were not allowed to interfere in the appointment and removal of internal political affairs and local officials, and internal officials were not allowed to reduce the logistics supply to the army without reason, nor were they allowed to interfere in combat tasks. All senior military and political officials were dispatched by Zhao Xing, so they were also responsible to Zhao Xing himself at the same time. In this way, the occurrence of mutual constraints between military and political affairs can be minimized.

Liu Yu is nearly fifty years old and in good health, and can work for Zhao Xing for at least ten years. Guan Yu is nearly forty years old this year, which is at the peak of his career. The older civil servants and the young and strong military generals cooperate with each other, just like a pair of golden partners. In addition, Guan Yu and Liu Yu have been working together for a long time in Liangguo. I believe that even if Zhao Xing is not in the Western Regions for many years in the future, they will work together to make the Western Regions increasingly prosperous.

But what makes people wonder is that Guan Yu has always been with Jia Xu. Now that Guan Yu has become the military commander of the Pingxi Prince's Mansion, he naturally has to resign from his position as commander of the Liangzhou Army. Why didn't Zhao Xing transfer Jia Xu to the Western Regions to serve as chief minister?

This involves the next issue of Liang State dealing with the Sima family in Yizhou.

After Zhao Xing's repeated comparisons and weighing, it is really difficult to find a more suitable candidate to deal with a guy like Sima Yi who is so sinister and cunning that he is in the bones. Perhaps Guo Jia is competent, but Guo Jia is still a gentlemanly and probably can't do the cruel things like Jia Xu that he wants to get rid of tens of thousands of people at any time. If Pang Tong trains for a few more years, he may be able to deal with Sima Yi, but if he doesn't want to use Jia Xu, he will be a typical waste of talent.

The Command of the Wohu has issued the latest commission of appointment. After Liu Yu left office, Jia Xu served as the Prime Minister of Liangguo and also served as the Grand Military Advisor of the Liangzhou Legion. Zhang He was promoted to the commander of the Liangzhou Legion and also served as the commander of the Pioneer Army.

The prime minister is in charge of internal affairs, and the military advisor is responsible for formulating a military action plan. Now Jia Xu is allowed to serve as the only one, which fully demonstrates Zhao Xing's emphasis on the chief military advisor, and also reveals Zhao Xing's determination to deal with the Sima family in Yizhou at all costs.

There was also a slightly unexpected decision. Wei Yan, a young general who had been detained by Jin State for nearly two years, finally exchanged Jin Xuan and nearly 20,000 Northern Army soldiers after negotiations with the court. Zhao Xing was basically not slandered by Luo Guanzhong for Wei Yan's backbone. Instead, after a sincere conversation, he sent him to Zhang He's tent and appointed him as the commander of the mixed-dressing division.

Wei Yan was good at using troops and was good at winning unexpectedly. In the future, he would be the vanguard general who attacked Yizhou, and would definitely achieve miraculous results.

The mobilization of generals in the Northwest region only involves a few senior executives. Although it seems that there is little change, the actual impact is far-reaching, and the specific effects can only be tested in the future.

The generals in Jin have basically not changed much. Apart from promoting a group of civil servants at the level of county magistrates, the military generals have basically not changed. Xu Rong had already stepped down from the position of the Chongyi Division of the Crouching Tiger Army two months ago and went to the Western Regions to wait for Guan Yu's dispatch. Now he is leading the first army and Ma Chao's cavalry to cooperate with each other, preparing to have a head-on battle with the seemingly powerful Wusun Kingdom.

The group of county magistrates who were promoted from Jin were sent to the Western Regions, Jizhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Fuyu Kingdom and Dongsheng Kingdom. The new positions waiting for their new positions were at least at the level of county magistrates. Although they were far away and cold, they were actually improved. Moreover, there were clear regulations in Jin: all officials with outstanding political achievements in remote and cold areas would not only be given priority promotion, but also could place their family in Wohu City.

This is a real benefit and a very rare political treatment, so the mobilized officials did not complain.

In the direction of Jizhou, with Zhao Xing officially being crowned king, Zhang Fei had led his troops to evacuate Tao and returned to Yecheng in a depressed mood. Liu Pan and Chen Dao, who followed Zhang Fei as a support force, naturally did not dare to stay north of Yecheng, and followed Zhang Fei's troops to return to their original garrison.

Liu Yan had already greeted the court and would recall 20,000 troops led by Chen Dao soon to strengthen the prevention of the Xuzhou Legion in eastern Yuzhou.

Liu Biao originally wanted Huo Jun to lead 30,000 Jingzhou troops back to Xiangyang, stationed in the area west of Xiangyang to guard against the Liang* team near Fangling, but now Yuan Shu and Liu Yan have made excuses to withdraw the troops supporting the court. If he followed this request, he would probably be scolded by the emperor, so he temporarily gave up his thoughts.

As a result, the Jizhou battlefield basically restored the pattern before Zhang Fei went out of the expedition. Zhu Ye and Zhang Fei led 60,000 Southern Army with Yecheng as the center, occupying Wei County and Zhao State, and Julu's south. Cao Cao actually controlled the southern part of Qinghe State and the area bordering Yanzhou Pingyuan County. The Xiongwu Army and the 50,000 land combat brigades that had surfaced were based on Daluze and divided into east and west units, stationed in Renxian and Nangong areas. They are currently taking a defensive position and seem to be not ready to fight with Zhu Ye for a while.

Because of a newly concluded negotiation in the Qingzhou and Xuzhou battlefields, all parties are temporarily in a state of truce. But in fact, the internal internal situation of Qing, Xu, Yan, Yu and Yang is not calm, and a huge undercurrent is gradually fermenting and forming. When it surfaces, another earth-shaking war will surely break out.
