Chapter 174 Take Office

In August of the second year of Zhongping, Emperor Ling issued an edict to appoint Liu Ye, Marquis of Guannei, as the governor of Tianshui County, and Army Sima Fu Xie as the county magistrate.

At the same time, Liu Ye's phrase "Turn the tide when it is already falling, and help the building when it is about to collapse. When the country is in crisis, it is the time when the ministers use their lives" gradually spread along with the court discussions, first in Luoyang City, and gradually With Luoyang as the center, it slowly spread, and everyone in the world praised it.

Tread Tread!

Thousands of war horses galloped on the ground, and a big flag with the character of Liu was erected in the middle, with a majestic momentum.

"Nan Rong, when we arrive in Ji County, you need to help me."

Liu Ye galloped his horse, turned his head and said to Fu Xie beside him.

Fu Xie looked dignified: "Don't worry, Liu Hou, we stay in the northwest just to turn the tide."

Liu Ye laughed loudly: "You don't need to call me Marquis Liu, everyone calls me the Sheriff in front of you, but in private you and I call each other the same name."

"Then it's disrespectful, Yuqing."

Liu Ye and Fu Xie laughed loudly. In addition to the 2,300 troops under Liu Ye's command, the troops that Huangfu Song sent to them included a thousand troops under Fu Xie's command, making a total of 3,300 troops. It is more than enough to control Tianshui County, but it is not enough to deal with nearly 100,000 Qiang rebels.

Ji County.

Liu Ye ordered Yu Jin to set up camp outside the city, and marched into the city of Ji County with a thousand cavalry. The residents of the city watched in awe as the cavalry rushed into the city.

When Liu Ye arrived in the city, the first thing he announced was the appointment of personnel.

Liu Ye himself served as the county guard with a salary of two thousand shi; Fu Xie served as the county magistrate with a salary of six hundred shi;

Zhang Jai served as the soldier Cao Shi, and Guan Hai served as the subordinate Cao Cao, which was equivalent to Liu Ye's personal guard.

For the rest of the officials large and small, officials at all levels are subordinate officials, etc., some officials in the county will be inspected and retained, and those who are vacant will be selected from the subordinate officials.

The inspection of officials in the Han Dynasty was mainly based on the inspection system and the expropriation system. Generally speaking, officials are different. It is difficult for a subordinate official to be promoted to an official. However, Liu Ye can’t control that. Now the Northwest is in chaos. No one else can care about him at all.

Fu Xie would directly instruct the subordinates of various departments in the county to carry out any government affairs. He would only come to Liu Ye to discuss important matters, and Liu Ye was very relieved of him. Deal with the backlog of political affairs in Tianshui County.

In terms of military affairs, Yu Jin has followed Liu Ye for the longest time, has the oldest qualifications, and is a steady soldier. Therefore, he was appointed by Liu Ye as a county lieutenant, and he is considered the highest military officer besides Liu Ye. And Zhang Jai served as the soldier Cao Shushi, who was also in charge of the military. Guan Hai's subordinate Cao Cao basically followed Liu Ye, except for sleeping at night, he never left.

Under the combination of Liu Ye and Fu Xie, the backlog of political affairs in Tianshui was dealt with, and the county guard's office began to operate.

On this day, Liu Ye dealt with some of the political affairs at hand and came to the military camp several miles outside the city.

"kill!"

"shooting!"

"Array!"

There was a murderous look in the barracks, and Yu Jin and Zhang Jai were training soldiers. All the arms in the camp were training. The cavalry rode their horses to charge, wielding sabers in their hands, the archers squatted down and shot at targets, and the spearmen held sticks in their hands, fighting each other. The camp was full of excitement.

"Wen Ze, Jun Yi, did you do a good job?"

Seeing Liu Ye approaching, Yu Jin opened his jaw and the two stepped forward to salute.

"Sheriff."

Liu Ye waved his hand to signal that he should keep quiet, and then he watched the exercises of various armies.

"Wen Ze, how is the training of the newly recruited pawns?" Liu Ye asked.

After arriving in the Northwest, Liu Ye handled political affairs quickly, enforced the law impartially, and severely punished officials who did not act.

Anyway, the northwest was chaotic, and taxes could not be sent from the county to Chang'an, and the people complained a lot, so Liu Ye simply changed it, so the people in the county cheered.

However, Liu Ye implemented the conscription order in a timely manner, and the people participated enthusiastically. Tianshui County has a total of 27,000 households, a population of 130,000, and tens of thousands of strong men in the county. The soldiers and horses are only selected from the best, and a thousand young people between the ages of 20 and 30 are conscripted as infantry.

If Liu Ye was really militaristic, it would not be impossible to recruit 10,000 soldiers at one go, but firstly, the quality of the soldiers was poor, and secondly, Liu Ye could not afford to supply tens of thousands of troops with food.

There were 3,300 troops in Tianshui County, of which only 1,000 infantry were commanded by Commander Yu Jin, and the remaining 2,300 were all cavalry. The army is 4,300 people.

Yu Jin's expression remained the same: "Junior Guard, these thousand soldiers have been drilled for more than a month, and they are a little fine, but if they want to truly become an army, they need to fight one more battle."

Even if the army in peacetime is well-equipped and well-fed, it cannot become a strong army without going through the test of blood and fire.

Liu Ye nodded: "Well, recently Zhang Cheqi is confronting Beigong Boyu, Bian Zhang and others in Meiyang. It is difficult to have a war for a while, and let the thousand new recruits and the thousand veterans fight more."

I saw two thousand infantry divided into two parts, facing each other head-on. One side had a tight formation and a solemn momentum. It was an old soldier who followed Liu Ye in the Southern and Northern Wars and was trained by Yu Jin for a whole year. A thousand people gathered together, like a overall.

On the opposite side, more than a thousand new recruits were also close together, but their aura was obviously suppressed by the opponent, and they knew who would win without even looking.

Yu Jin stood up and waved his hand.

"kill!"

A thousand old soldiers were dispatched immediately, with swords and shields in front forming a thick shield wall, moving forward in unison, while a group of spearmen behind them used wooden sticks instead of spears to avoid stabbing each other.

However, even wooden sticks are not small in the hands of elite veterans. The old and new armies confront each other. Although the new army has a tight formation, they are beaten back by the veterans. When the shield wall is broken, there is a sudden chaos. into a ball.

Liu Ye shook his head: "It seems that we have to find a chance to fight for them."

"Sheriff!"

Yiqi suddenly galloped in from outside the handsome camp, jumped off his horse and ran in front of Liu Ye, cupped his hands and said, "Junshou, Juncheng has an important matter to discuss with you."

Liu Ye nodded, and ordered Yu Jin and Zhang Jai to continue training, while he mounted his horse with Guan Hai and headed towards Miyagi in the county.

After galloping the horse for a while, Liu Ye jumped off the horse, handed the horse to the side guards, and walked into the hall with a cold wind.

"Nan Rong, what's the important thing, calling me back in such a hurry?"

Seeing Liu Ye, Fu Xie stood up with a bamboo slip in his hand.

"The Qiang people in the county have raised their troops."
