Every time he saw the nightmare crossbow in his hand, Liu Xie felt a little scared and told Tang Zhan and others not to use this weapon unless it was absolutely necessary.

He thought to himself, Guan Yu, Guan Yu, if you come to chase me with great interest one day, don’t blame me, save your life first, this nightmare crossbow can kill you.

After half a year of rectification, when Liu Bei began to continue to encircle and suppress Zhang Mancheng and Yuan Shao, Liu Xie also began to ask Huangfu Song to formally arrange for the Chu army to attack Jiaozhou in the south.

After three years of encirclement and continuous harvesting of Shanyue people in autumn, Shanyue people, which is now known as two million, have basically been cleaned up, and they are safely a common Yue people in Danyang and Yuzhang.

Liu Xie's solution was to record any surrendered food because of the robbery and surrender. If he found out that he hid in the mountains with others and refused taxes, he would behead him in public immediately. To deal with the pure Han people, he must use kindness to be safe. For such people who do not know how to live or die, he must be a warning to him.

In the autumn of the fifth year of Chutai, after Sun Jian killed 28,000 at a time, the troops stationed in various places went to places where people from Shanyue gathered, and not many people dared to go to the mountains to avoid taxes.

After many Shanyue people surrendered to Yue people, they formed an army to help Sun Jian. Huang Zhong went into the mountain to kill people. Huang Zhong replied that Shanyue people were too bloody and often massacred and destroyed thousands of people.

Sun Jian's reply read: If possible, I am willing to give the current army to others and all the people in Shanyue.

Haha, Sun Jian is nice and has vision!

Liu Xie made a large sum of money: half of them were allowed to be replaced, and the excess people were given subsidies to return to official land to grow grain without tax.

Since then, the Chu army began to recruit strong Yue soldiers constantly. Liu Xie specially established the "Nanyue Soldier Law", which stipulated that all the Yue soldiers recruited were collectively called Danyang soldiers, and the Nanba soldiers recruited were collectively called Nanshan soldiers, and they should not be called Shanyue and Nanban. All treatments were like Han people. Those who were awarded should be rewarded, and those who were due to promotion should be promoted. If they were found to be discriminated against Danyang soldiers and Nanshan soldiers, they would be resigned and severely killed.

Huang Zhong had already driven his army to Jiaozhou, and the main forces were the Danyang soldiers and Nanshan soldiers, because what they were best at was mountain warfare.

According to Liu Xie's memory, the Jiaozhou family would support others in dealing with the Jiaozhou governor Wu Ju, and would even help.

Sure enough, no matter how history changes, some people have not changed.

Shi Xie from Jiaozhou first sent someone to deliver letters and was willing to send someone to assassinate Wu Ju. He also presented Jiaozhou maps. According to the information collected by the Military Academy, Wu Ju is still a good parent official and is quite famous in Jiaozhou. Because the Shi family is very strong in the local area, they often don’t take Wu Ju seriously and want to take Jiaozhou alone, so their relationship with Wu Ju is not good, and it can even be said to be very bad.

Xu Shu had already asked Liu Xie clearly before coming. Liu Xie hoped that Wu Ju would take charge of Jiaozhou because he was not a local and had no strong relationship. It was due to the appointments of the imperial court and his years of prestige.

Xu Shu thought about it and sent someone to transfer the letter and map sent by the Shi family to Wu Ju, and said that as long as Wu Ju is willing to surrender to the King of Chu, he can continue to be the governor, but the military power must be transferred to Zhennan Army.

Wu Ju did not agree. In his eyes, Jiaozhou had so many mountains. The King of Chu relied on naval and cavalry. It was useless to come here, but soon he led his soldiers to destroy the clan and suffered heavy damage.

Xu Shu took the Danyang soldiers and Nanshan soldiers as the main force, and sent Shamoke and his Nanwei camp specially arranged by Liu Xie as the vanguard, and led Liu Xie to ask Shamoke to carry three thousand wolf dogs that Shamoke had to carry directly to Jiaozhou. The subsequent Zhennan Army was responsible for rescue and food. In just three months, all the forces of Wu Ju in Jiaozhou were eliminated. Wu Ju hid in the mountains and was bitten to death by Shamoke.

Xu Shu knew very well what his junior thought. He wanted Shamoke to make meritorious contributions, and then gave me a good reward to all Danyang soldiers and Nanshan soldiers, telling them: You can also get such rewards, as long as you kill the enemy for the King of Chu, as long as you make meritorious contributions to the King of Chu.

Although sometimes, Xu Shu was also afraid because of Liu Xie's scheming. The more powerful the emperor, the more it was worth the fear of his subordinates, but he was less afraid when he remembered his days studying at the Shuijing Academy. After all, he had a good relationship with him.

It was already early summer of the seventh year of Chutai that Xu Shu returned to the court. Jiaozhou was completely stabilized. Sixteen wealthy families were killed in the entire Jiaozhou. One-third of the good land of all wealthy families was classified as official land, and the rest were all distributed to the people. According to Liu Xie's wishes, Jiaozhou's agricultural tax was temporarily exempted for three years.

The first thing Liu Xie did was to reward Shamoke. Although he had not been promoted to a marquis, his salary increased a lot and he also had a generous reward of 100 gold.

Xun Yu transferred Yu Fan as the governor of Jiaozhou, and Huangfu Song transferred Zhu Xiong as the governor of Jiaozhou. He transferred veterans who retreated from various armies to recruit soldiers recruited in Jiaozhou Guantian and local soldiers as garrison troops.

Liu Xie looked at it, approved it, and asked Huangfu Song to consider arranging the garrison commanders of various prefectures and counties. The garrison commanders generally led troops at a limit of 30,000 to 50,000, but the equipment was average, and it basically did not require much money from the court, and it mainly relied on the income of the garrison's official farm.

The rapid pacification of Jiaozhou reminded Liu Xie of the difficulties of the Eastern Wu suppressing rebellion in Jiaozhou in history. Perhaps it was not as stable as in previous years. It was indeed more troublesome to quickly solve the problem of Jiaozhou, especially the joining of Shanyue Danyang soldiers. If it were not for these Danyang soldiers, there were indeed no soldiers in the Chu army who were good at mountain warfare. If it weren't for these Danyang soldiers, it would be impossible to pacify Jiaozhou if it were really fought.

The land of the King of Chu, which stabilized the Southern Barbarians and Shanyue, was unprecedentedly powerful. Without internal troubles, it became particularly easy to concentrate troops in various places. After eight years of governance of Jingzhou, the food and money in Chu were prosperous in the past, and it also made it impossible to always worry about food and grass when sending troops like in the Three Kingdoms period in history.

With the arrival of the North-South duel, the generals and main Chu army in the hinterland behind them will gradually be transferred to the front line. They cannot be temporarily transferred, and they must start arrangements now.

Huangfu Song also knew that the biggest flaw of the Chu army at present was the issue of dispersed forces. Since Liu Xie agreed, he began to gradually draw some experienced but older supervisors and Yamen General to serve as garrison commanders and garrison commanders in various places.

After Xu Shu returned, Huang Zhong also set up a large number of garrison commanders in Changsha and other counties, and began to mobilize the navy army composed of Ganning, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai, and began to prepare to attack Bashu.

After Liu Xie released the news of pacifying Bashu, he thought Zhang Song would come to deliver the map, but who knew that not only he had come, Liu Xun, Dong He and Gao Pei all sent people to deliver the map.

Liu Xie threw four similar maps and the staff members of the Academy of Staff laughed and said, "Haha, I'm quite optimistic about me!"

Xu Shu smiled and said, "Your Highness is in Yangzhou in the east, in Xiliang in the north, and in Jiaozhou in the south. Now this place of Bashu is left. How can they not be afraid!"

Liu Xie patted Xu Shu on the shoulder and sighed: "Senior brother has worked hard all these years!"

Xu Shu waved his hand and said, "I will do my best to do what I can. If I have children in the future, my highness can make them worry-free for the rest of my life, I will be satisfied."

Liu Xie stood up and laughed and said, "Isn't it cold to let them live a life of worry-free life? My senior brother's credit is in the land of King Chu. Who can compare with Wen Ruo and the three old ministers who were entrusted with the same entrusted family? Emperor Gaozu said that he could not be granted a king unless he was Liu's surname in the Han Dynasty. He should be granted a king with his credit. Anyway, I have broken enough old rules of the Han ancestor, so I can break this one too!"

When everyone congratulated Xu Shuzhi, Xu Shu hurriedly knelt down and said excitedly: "Your Highness, any rules can be broken, but this rules cannot be broken. Your Highness, please think about the rebellion of the Seven Kings and the rebellion of the princes today!"

Everyone was silent. Liu Xie supported Xu Shu and said, "Senior brother, don't worry too much about these things in front of you. Your contribution should be granted the king. Since I said that, I will definitely grant it. The king I granted is a county, the management belongs to the court, and the money and tax belongs to the king. This king can only be passed down for three generations. If there is no corresponding contribution within three generations, you will have to return to the county marquis. If there is no contribution for the third generation, you will be retiring to the Ting Hou, and then the village marquis. Everyone has seen the reward of the marquis now, and there is no fiefdom. In addition to the money and taxes for the fief, the king also has a very high annual salary. I know that everyone may feel uncomfortable when they hear it, but I don't think you want your descendants to only know how to eat the old capital you have built back then and not rely on their own, right?"

Xun Yu nodded and said, "This is the best way to encourage his descendants. Otherwise, it would not be a good thing to just sit and enjoy the fruits of the people, but instead he would have taught them badly."

Now all the civil officials are headed by Xun Yu. As soon as he made a statement, he said that this strategy was wonderful. Xu Shu nodded and said, "In this way, I will feel much more at ease. I can give my descendants a sustenance and let them work hard. This method is really good."
