The sky is clear, white clouds float under the blue sky, and two rows of geese fly across the sky and fly south.

The mountains are towering, the water is graceful, the mountains, rivers and fields are lush, and the scenery of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains is picturesque.

August mid-autumn is the most prosperous season of the year, and it is also a transitional season between prosperity and bleakness.

On the official road from Yuzhou to Sili, teams of horses galloped on horseback. After the war cavalry, hundreds of thousands of iron-armored infantrymen stretched for more than twenty miles. Along the way, flags were everywhere, soldiers were full of splendor, with a strict lineup, and a strong army.

This is the Xiliang army withdrawn from Sili from Xuzhou.

However, the infantry and cavalry of more than 100,000 were not all the Western Liang army. Nearly 70% of the soldiers were soldiers from Yuzhou and Xuzhou, and the remaining 20% ​​were Yangzhou army. Only 10% of the soldiers from Xiliang were soldiers, and they were all cavalry.

It took two months since the launch of troops in Xuzhou in June. At first, the Western Liang army captured the entire territory of Xuzhou in just half a month and easily captured the six counties of Xuzhou. However, after the war, Xuzhou was calmed for only about ten days and was once again in turmoil. Undercurrents forced Li Li to mobilize the army again to quell the turmoil. It was not until ten days ago that Xuzhou had completely calmed down.

However, when Xuzhou really stabilized, it was full of devastation, as if it had been a large-scale full-scale war, and it was a depressing scene. After repeated consideration, Li Li resolutely decided to draw the most shrewd and capable civil and military officials under his command to work in Xuzhou. Civil officials govern the prefectures and counties and restore people's livelihood; military generals were quiet and safeguarding the border guards of Xuzhou.

There are many civil officials under Li Li who are the most capable of governing prefectures and counties, and most of them have already held important tasks. They have no time to clone them. The most suitable candidate for him is Chen Gongtai, Chen Gongtai, who has lived in Xuzhou for a long time. However, Chen Gong not only has deep conflicts with the gentry of Xuzhou, but also has close contacts with some gentry, and there are many of his disciples and former officials in Xuzhou. So Li Li did not hesitate to remove Chen Gong from the outside and did not consider it. Although he never doubted Chen Gong's loyalty and had a stable relationship with him, he still thought that Chen Gong was not suitable to stay in Xuzhou.

When Li Li repeatedly considered the candidate for the governor of Xuzhou, Li Zhi sent a scroll of political achievements that was summarized every six months in Liangzhou, which attracted his attention. No, to be precise, he attached great importance to it. Immediately, the best candidate jumped into his eyes. The bamboo slip in his hand clearly recorded that the prefect of Shuozhou, Zhang Ji, was ranked first among the counties under Liangzhou for five consecutive years, and was called the "No. 1 Prefect of Liangzhou."

Zhang Ji, who has won the championship for five consecutive years, has always been his focus since the moment he entered Li Li's sight.

When Shuozhou was first established, Li Li also tried his best to choose the first prefect, and he went through all the capable ministers and officials who were good at governing prefectures and counties in his mind, but he never found the most suitable prefect. Just when he was hesitant, Li Xuan recommended Zhang Ji, the county magistrate in Hongnong County to be the prefect of Hongnong, and Zhang Ji officially entered Li Li's sight. When he summoned Zhang Ji to his side and took the exam for a while, he immediately made a decision to let Zhang Ji become the first prefect of Shuozhou and manage the Guangbo area, including the Hetao on the Seshang.

In the first year of becoming the prefect of Shuozhou, Zhang ranked first among the counties in Liangzhou in the year-end political performance assessment, and remained firmly ranked first in the second year. For this reason, Li Li was skeptical about Zhang Ji's successive political performance; after all, Shuozhou was a newly built county, and there were not even a few decent cities except for the county where Shuozhou County was located, and he was really poor and deserted. At the very least, in this true farming era, there were absolutely no shortcuts. You must work hard to support your family, and the development speed was extremely slow.

So, after the end of the Sili War, Li Li personally took his family to inspect Bingzhou, Shuozhou and Liangzhou and other prefectures and counties. He stayed in Shuozhou for half a month, traveled around most of Shuozhou for field investigations. Facts have proved that Zhang Ji's political achievements can stand the test, and his real achievements have not been cheated or had any moisture.

Since then, the name Zhang Ji has been kept in Li Li's mind. Every six months and year-end assessments, he will pay extra attention to Zhang Ji's political achievements. Unfortunately, for more than a year, Li Li has been immersed in complex wars all day long. He forgot about Zhang Ji's existence for a while. When considering the candidate for the state governor, he always habitually focused on the current state governors, thus ignoring that Zhang Ji has the ability to govern the government that is not inferior to any governor.

Therefore, when Li Li decided to promote Zhang Ji as the governor of Xuzhou, he suddenly realized that the bamboo slips sent by Li Zhi were too timely, and there must be something tricky. After inquiring, Li Zhi told the truth without any concealment and betrayed Jia Xu and Guo Jia. Because this book was transferred by Jia Xu Feiying from the General's Mansion of Chang'an, and then Guo Jia personally handed it to Li Zhi and entrusted him to present it to Li Li at appropriate times.

It goes without saying that Jia Xu and Guo Jia both took great effort to choose the governor of Xuzhou. After careful consideration, they jointly elected Zhang Ji as governor. This coincided with Li Li's final decision.

As for the candidate for the main general in Xuzhou, Li Li did not act arbitrarily, but repeatedly discussed with Jia Xu, Guo Jia and Chen Gong many times. In fact, Li Li already had a suitable candidate in his mind, and the person was Zhou Yu, who was stationed in Henei County. And Li Li had already thought of Zhou Yu's position as the governor of Xuzhou, Jianghuai, and the general of Xuzhou, Yuzhou and Yangzhou, all the troops in some counties and counties in Yangzhou were in charge of the three armies. His tent was nearly 300,000 troops, and he was the veritable "King of Huainan".

However, Li Li still has some doubts about this. First, Zhou Yu had always had a good relationship with Sun Ce in Jiangdong and asked him to lead troops to station in the prefectures and counties on the north bank of the Yangtze River. His main opponents were Sun Ce in Jiangdong and Liu Biao in Jingzhou. What if? Second, from the current situation, the main opponent of the general in Xuzhou was still Cao Cao in Yanzhou, Jizhou and Qingzhou. Zhou Yu was defeated by Cao Cao in the previous battle of Yecheng. Third, and the most important point, Yecheng's great defeat has not gone far away. Zhou Yu was a crime. He was just dismissed from the position of General Annan not long ago. If he was promoted without success at this time, it would be too ridiculous and it would be hard to convince.

Li Li's concerns were by no means groundless. In the subsequent discussion, Jia Xu, Guo Jia and Chen Gong all raised them without any omissions. In this way, Zhou Yu was excluded and ignored. In addition to Zhou Yu, many generals in the Xiliang army were able to sit in Xuzhou, such as Bo Cai, Zhao Yun, Huan Fei and Xu Chu, who were all able to stand alone, and there was no problem in stationing in Xuzhou.

However, the world is not unified, and there are still many major battles in the future that they, such generals who are good at fighting, need to charge in the battle. If they are placed in Xuzhou, it is quite a bit of a pearl. The most important thing is that if these generals are in charge of Xuzhou, Li Li would not grant them the power to command the 300,000 troops of Jianghuai; because they do not have the talent of Zhou Yu as commander. They can only stand alone, but cannot take charge of the three armies and take into account all the prefectures and counties on the north bank of the Yangtze River.

After careful consideration, Guo Jia finally recommended General Guo Si, who was in Liangzhou, to serve as the chief general of Xuzhou. This proposal was supported by Jia Xu. Li Li also felt that it was time to use the Xiliang general who had been hidden for a long time, so he happily agreed. As a result, Guo Si was activated again, and Li Li appointed him as General Zhenyuan, with his position equivalent to General Zhenxi, but his salary and title increased a lot compared to before, comparable to the three dukes. At the same time, Li Li appointed Ji Ling as General Pingnan and served as Guo Si's deputy general. In addition, generals such as Hou Cheng and Lei Bo also stayed in the Xuzhou army to listen to it.

Therefore, when Li Li led a large army to evacuate Xuzhou, more than 70% of the civil and military officials under Xuzhou had been replaced, and all were transferred across borders by officials from other prefectures and counties. It is worth mentioning that Chen Gui, Chen Deng, Mi Fang, Cao Bao, Zang Ba, Wei Xu and Xu Yi and other Xuzhou civil and military officials followed Li Li back to Sili, and then dispatched and resettled.

Sili, Luoyang Yin Mansion.

At the entrance of the main hall, a group of civil servants and military generals left the lobby one after another. Soon after, they will take the official profession issued by the General's Mansion on a new journey.

In the just-concluded military and political affairs, Li Li made large-scale adjustments to the generals of the prefectures and counties and battalions, and issued a ban on the seal.

Just as the few remaining princes in the world thought that after Li Li captured Xuzhou, he would point his finger at Cao Cao in Jizhou again and mobilize heavy troops to attack Jizhou or Yanzhou, the generals of Xiliang were eager to try and try to avenge the previous shame, Li Li resolutely decided to rest and recuperate the entire army. Except for sudden wars, there would be no more wars in the next year or three years.

At the same time, Li Li issued a ban on the sealing of the people: the prefectures and counties, namely Liangzhou, Yongzhou, Sili, Bingzhou, Youzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou and Hanzhong, were completely blocked and all roads leading to Yanzhou, Jizhou and Qingzhou, and were allowed to enter and leave.

In addition, Li Li specifically stated that the whole country's cultivation and restoration and governance of prefectures and counties will be the first priority, followed by preparation and reorganization of the army.

To this end, Li Li ordered that all the cavalry camps that had participated in the battle of Jizhou, except for the Jinqiwei and Wuwei camps, all the cavalry camps were to go to Bingzhou, Yongzhou, Liangzhou and Yongzhou for rest and rest, and replenish troops on the spot, and train new troops. In addition, Li Li clearly stated that all border guards were allowed to wait for an opportunity to attack and wipe out all the remaining enemies around the border. If there was a major war, they must be reported to the Chang'an General's Mansion in a timely manner for reinforcements.

After the order for the entire army to rest and recuperate, a large-scale adjustment was followed by the governors of various states, county magistrates and generals of various battalions.

Li Li ordered: Lu Su was promoted to the governor of Huainan, and was also the governor of Yuzhou, and general of all the troops and horses of Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Jiujiang, Lujiang and other counties along the river; Zhang Liao was appointed as the general of Zhennan, and the troops and horses of Yuzhou, Jiujiang, Lujiang and other places, and stationed in Hefei; Bocai was appointed to guard Nanyang.

Guo Jia was promoted to the governor of the Sili, leading the general of the Central Army, General of the Sili, and the troops of Bingzhou were stationed in Henei County; Chen Gong was appointed as the governor of the Sili and the general of the military command; Ju Yi was appointed as the governor of Jizhou, and formed 50,000 first-deng camps and stationed troops in Changshan and Zhongshan Kingdom; Xu Rong was appointed as the governor of Youzhou. The remaining generals of the battalions also had adjustments, and they would not be detailed for the time being.

At the same time, Li Li appointed Xu Yi as the prefect of Hedong, Chen Deng as the prefect of Left Feng Ling, Chen Gui served as the chief clerk of the General's Office, and all other generals in Xuzhou were placed in various battalions and were promoted.

At this point, the three-year battle for the Central Plains came to an end. Although Li Li suffered a crushing defeat on the battlefield in Hebei, he still captured most of the Central Plains prefectures and counties. He occupied seven and a half of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, and he already occupied half of the country and became increasingly powerful.
