Li Yang, as Gao Lan said, the entire Wei County was included in the rule of the court by Liu Xie. With the victory of this battle, the power of the court had already established a firm foothold in Wei County. The big families of Wei County either fled to Yecheng with Yuan Shao or were cleaned up by Liu Xie. As for the small family, Liu Xie did not move.

Liyang, the government office has now become Liu Xie's temporary palace. After receiving the tasks from Chang'an and Luoyang, the civil servants transferred from Chang'an and Luoyang hurriedly left. All counties in Wei County, from county magistrates, county towns, county Hu Ben Guards and court magistrates, all need to be re-appointed, including Dongjun, must be sorted out as soon as possible.

Liu Xie did not rush to continue pursuing Yuan Shao. No matter how big the country was, the grassroots were unstable, and it was just a castle in the air. Liu Xie needed to take advantage of this great victory to completely implement the court's policies in Wei County.

This time, it was more cruel than Nanyang at that time. After all, when Liu Xie sent troops to Nanyang, the Nanyang family made contributions to the city and welcomed the court, Liu Xie could not act too much. Many things had to be gentle, differentiated, attacked a group, and then gradually assimilated the group that was attracted. In Jizhou, there was no such concern. During the period when Liu Xie and Yuan Shao started a war, the family members of Jizhou wanted money to give to Yuan Shao, so Liu Xie naturally would not have any mercy.

Officials in Wei County, who should withdraw, and those who dare to resist only have one word, kill!

Moreover, there are information collected by the Tingwei, Hu Ben Guard and Secret Guard. You can be convinced. Of course, the side effects are also there, that is, it will be more difficult to promote Jizhou in the future. The Jizhou family will do their best to help Yuan Shao fight the court, but so what? After this defeat, Yuan Shao's vitality was severely damaged and he asked for money and food. The Jizhou family could help raise it, but the lost elites were not something that could be trained in a short time.

What's more, the hidden stakes set up by Liu Xie in Jizhou also began to play a role at this time. At least in public opinion, it would be impossible for aristocratic families to let the people die if they go.

"Your Majesty, you are very happy!" Pang De rushed in from outside the government office with an excited expression, squeezed away the crowd, came to Liu Xie, and handed the two documents to Liu Xie and said: "Zhang He, the two generals Gao Lan have surrendered, and the troops under his command have surrendered in total. Together with the Jizhou surrendered army that had been captured before, our army now has nearly 80,000 surrendered army in Jizhou alone."

"This is not a good thing." Liu Xie rubbed his temples and frowned: "The surrendered army is almost catching up with the troops of our army."

The surrendered army is also the group of people who are most likely to be instigated. Disrupting and reorganizing may not improve the combat effectiveness of the court. Mixing a miscellaneous army with elite troops will only drag you down.

You should know that this big battle starts from Hulao Pass, but Yuan Shu's surrendered army must be included. In addition, after this battle, the Heishan Army will officially join the imperial court. In the long run, these soldiers will become the potential for war for the imperial court, but before these surrendered troops are truly assimilated, the danger is not low, especially the number of surrendered troops added to even exceed the regular army.

"But, I can't ignore it." Guo Jia pondered.

"Yes." Liu Xie nodded. If he ignored it, he would definitely mutiny.

"I have a way." Liu Xie pondered for a moment and looked at Guo Jia and said, "These surrendered troops, including the Heishan surrendered troops and the Runan surrendered troops, are divided into fifteen large battalions, with 10,000 per battalion. The court chose generals who were good at training for training. For a long time, the troops in the world were not strictly divided in terms of military system. So, taking this opportunity to divide these surrendered troops into first, second, third and third grades. In training, the ones with excellent performance were first grades, one meal of meat can be used every day, fifty, and one meal of meat can be eaten every three days; the ones with mediocre ones are third grades, only for fullness, and the monthly salary is twenty cents."

Liu Xie said while writing and drawing on paper: "But these second and third-class soldiers are not regular troops. They must complete training before they can enter the regular army. After the first-class soldiers enter the army, they can be directly led. The second-class tribe can be the commander of the sergeant, and the third-class tribe can be ordinary soldiers."

In the establishment of the court, those who have military positions will receive some of the merits of their subordinates when recording their merits and will be promoted faster. In fact, although the princes in the past did not divide this way, they were actually similar. However, Liu Xie has now clearly planned that everything has laws to follow. As long as the soldiers at the bottom are willing to work hard, they can gain a higher status. This is also the concept that Liu Xie has always implemented in the imperial army.

In fact, these surrendered soldiers can be regarded as veterans, and training is just an excuse. What we really need to do is to reorganize these people and re-select grassroots generals and officials belonging to the court. They are not directly sent by the court, but selected from them, so that these surrendered soldiers will be more likely to accept them.

Moreover, these first-class and second-class soldiers selected were all based on their ability. Since ancient times, the strong have been respected in the army. These re-selected people are naturally more likely to be recognized by the soldiers, which is also to enable these people to adapt to the military system of the court as soon as possible.

"But it's not bad." Guo Jia thought for a while, nodded and smiled, "But it takes time."

"In a short period of time, these people do not need to participate in the war. What they have to do is train and adapt. In addition to the generals of training, I am preparing to wear a soldier in each army's daily life and..." Liu Xie thought for a while and said, "The person who sets up a correct concept for them, but we are currently in short supply. The civil servants sent from Chang'an have planned to take office. The generals of training will be temporarily appointed. When the time is right in the future, they will give the soldiers people."

"Concept?" Guo Jia rubbed his eyebrows. Every time new words popped up in Liu Xie's mouth, he had to think about it for a long time.

"Simply put, it is loyalty to the court and the loyalty and faith that you should have as a soldier." Liu Xie explained with a smile.

"Wonderful!" Guo Jia's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he smiled, "I think there should be such a position in the army."

"There are not so many people now. The civil servants of each county are already a headache for me. The talents of the county school have not yet completed their studies. This time, the talents reserved by our army in the prefectures and counties in the past few years are no longer enough." Liu Xie shook his head and sighed. Yuan Shao's defeat was too fast, which is a good thing and a bad thing. Liu Xie was already ready to fight a protracted battle with Yuan Shao. By the time he won, the first batch of talents from the county school can almost become an official.

It is not yet, but in the future, the court will take advantage of the victory to pursue the country. The population of Jizhou, Youzhou and Qingzhou will almost double. In addition, Shuzhong has not been completely digested. After this battle, Liu Xie will have to use it to digest this harvest within the next three to five years. No matter how large the territory is, it will be impossible to control it.

The territory that cannot be controlled is not his own. After years of hard work, Liu Xie has already understood what he wants to do. He wants to re-construct the foundation that the Han Dynasty has gradually shaken since the Eastern Han Dynasty. Therefore, the world must be unified, but what he wants is a world that belongs to the Han Dynasty, rather than an emperor recognized by the world in name.

"Next, I think that I will not rush to capture Yecheng first, and first take control of the three counties of Qinghe, Pingyuan and Bohai to cut off the connection between Qingzhou and Jizhou." Guo Jia nodded, and did not continue to say more on this issue. Instead, he continued to discuss the current situation with Liu Xie. He smiled at Liu Xie and said, "As far as I know, the Cui family in Qinghe, at the invitation of Yuan Shao, raised tens of thousands of troops to support Qingzhou. At this time, Qinghe and Pingyuan were empty. Since Your Majesty is not going to attack Yecheng directly, taking these two counties first can further disperse Yuan Shao's troops."

"Yes, the more dispersed the troops, the more beneficial it is to our army!" Liu Xie nodded and smiled when he heard this.

Yuan Shao lost 200,000 troops at once. Even if he recruited troops, it would be impossible to compare with Liu Xie in terms of quantity or quality. The most important thing is that Yuan Shao did not stop losing troops in this battle, and his generals under him lost a lot. Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Han Qiong, Ma Yan, Zhao Rui died one after another, Zhang He and Gao Lan surrendered, and there were many generals under Liu Xie who could lead the army alone. Now, Yuan Shao may not be able to produce many generals who have the opportunity to take the stage.

If you don’t divide the troops, you can only watch Liu Xie eat away a little bit. If you divide the troops, even if you have enough troops, no one can lead the troops to fight. For Yuan Shao, this is the most embarrassing thing.

"Winter is approaching, and the soldiers should have some rest, so they ordered Huang Zhong and Guan Yu to settle down in the two counties." Liu Xie said with a smile.

"Uh... why isn't it Zilong?" Guo Jia looked at Liu Xie with some confusion.

"Zilong, I'm too kind." Liu Xie shook his head. When Zhao Yun was asked to guard Nanyang, it was because Zhao Yun was humble in character but could keep the bottom line principle. The Nanyang family had helped Liu Xie no matter what, and Liu Xie didn't want to do it too extreme. Therefore, after Yuan Huan as the prefect of Nanyang, he ordered Zhao Yun to command the Nanyang army so that there would not be too many conflicts. But Jizhou is different. Liu Xie needs someone who is cruel and ruthless, and who dares not give anyone face to help him make some decisions that are inconvenient to make. Guan Yu is undoubtedly a suitable candidate.

Guo Jia's heart moved and understood Liu Xie's thoughts. He smiled and did not ask any more questions.
