Li Zhen scolded him a lot, but soon he couldn't make a sound. He didn't want to die, he didn't have enough to live. But Zhang Xiu's determination, unshakable, made him extremely desperate.

Zhang Xiu looked at the lonely silent Li, let people take Li down.

It's not the time to kill Li.

Zhang Xiu was in the military camp. In half a day, Chen sent someone to send back the news and took Guo Si's granary. On the other hand, all the prisoners in Li's camp were escorted back to the camp to accept the reorganization of Huang Zhong and Gan Ning.

Both granaries are in Zhang Xiu's hands.

Zhang Xiu began to expand her strength to the surrounding counties, with Zhen County as the center.

In fact, there are no officials in the surrounding counties.

Many places are occupied by bandits.

There were not many people, such as Chencang, Wugong, meiyang and other counties, which were quickly captured by Zhang Xiu's army.

Thieves and bandits everywhere have been swept away.

Even if the thieves and bandits are destroyed, the places are still desolate and lack of people.

In just ten days, Zhang Xiu almost won most of the youfufeng county. At this time, Jia Xu led a large army from Wuguan to join Zhang Xiu in Jue county.

When Pang Tong and Jia Xu were in the army, Zhang Xiu was more relaxed in government affairs and didn't need to do it personally. Zhang Xiu, together with Huang Zhong, Gan Ning and Chen, led the army to wipe out the bandits and invade the city.

In early May, the army entered jingzhaoyin and came to Chang'an.

Today's Chang'an is desolate.

The city is dilapidated, the huge imperial city is empty, and there are no soldiers stationed.

Chang'an was dilapidated because after Wang Yun was killed, Li Xi, Guo Si, fan Hou and others attacked each other and plundered the common people, leading to the displacement of the common people, countless deaths and injuries, and finally the whole city was empty.

Zhang Xiu led the army and stationed in Chang'an.

However, Zhang Xiu did not enter the palace.

Once in the Imperial City, the news spread, not conducive to Zhang Xiu's reputation.

Zhang Xiu doesn't care about fame.

So he won't be fat and choose the prime minister's residence where Dong Zhuo once lived in the city.

This is the prime minister's office in the earliest period.

After Dong Zhuo retired to Chang'an, most of the time, he no longer lived in the city, but lived outside the city, which was the place where Dong Zhuo had always lived. Although the prime minister's residence is dilapidated, it is magnificent and covers a large area, which is enough to serve as the office of Zhang Xiu.

After the simple repair, the plaque of Zhennan general's house was hung, and Zhang Xiu took people to live in.

On this day, Zhang Xiu called Jia Xu, Pang Tong, Huang Zhong, Gan Ning and Chen to discuss the matter.

The crowd gathered.

Zhang Xiu looked around the crowd and said in a deep voice: "at present, we have captured Chang'an and started to capture Jing Zhaoyin. In youfufeng and jingzhaoyin, we are the main force. It is not difficult to attack these two counties. The most difficult is the next governance. Do you have any suggestions for this? "

Zhang Xiu is the Lord.

He has his own trade-offs and considerations in governing the two places.

But a man is short of wisdom. He needs to ask his advisers for advice and listen to the suggestions of Pang Tong and Jia Xu.

This is to be clear if you listen to both sides, and dark if you believe something.

Gan Ning swept through all parties during this period of time and was very excited.

On hearing Zhang Xiu's inquiry, he said: "Lord, I'm not good at managing local affairs. According to your humble position, you will directly dispatch scholars from Nanyang County to govern the local area. At the end, you will continue to lead the troops to Hongnong County, defeat Duan Lu and take Hongnong County as soon as possible. "

Zhang Xiu stares at Gan Ning and hums: "you know how to kill. If you don't understand, say less."

"Yes

Gan Ning smiles.

He is not afraid of Zhang Xiu. He has been following Zhang Xiu for a long time and knows her temperament.

Zhang Xiu said directly, "Wenhe, how do you think about it?"

Jia Xu said: "Lord, to govern youfufeng and jingzhaoyin, or even the whole Guanzhong area, there are three urgent matters that must be dealt with immediately."

Zhang Xiu said, "what are the three things?"

Jia Xu's slightly turbid eyes became clear and said slowly: "the first thing is to ask the court for credit. No matter Li Xi or Guo Si, they have harmed countless people. "

"The common people in Guanzhong have been suffering from Li Xi and Guo Si for a long time!"

"The Lord defeated Guo Si and captured Li Xi. The news came out and the world was shocked. My Lord, this time, he has made great contributions to the country and to all the people in the world. "

"The court learned that it must be commended."

What Jia Xu did to Guo Si turned out to be Zhang Xiu's defeat rather than Zhang Xiu's assistance to Guo Si.

He has always been familiar with the affairs of the upper court.

It has to be done.

There is a great difference between the official positions appointed by the imperial court and those appointed by oneself. Although Zhang Xiu has won Chang'an, she can appoint her own official position, but it lacks legitimacy.

Without justice, it is not good for Zhang Xiu to attract scholars. With the approval of the court, it will be easier to recruit scholars.That's right.

Zhang Xiu's eyes narrowed and said, "if we go to the imperial court, what kind of official position do we expect?"

Jia Xu said, "it's better to be the commander of Sili."

The chief commander of Si Li, the inspector of the capital, the inspector of youfufeng, jingzhaoyin, Hanoi County, Henan county and other places are equal to the governor of a state, and they have great power.

Now that Zhang Xiu is in charge of Guanzhong, it's better to be the commander of Sili.

But it's hard.

Zhang Xiu was clear about the authority of Sili Xiaowei, and said in a deep voice: "as for the position of Sili Xiaowei, it can be operated for some time. In particular, when Yuan Shu became emperor in Yangzhou, Cao Cao would certainly fight against him. If he doesn't agree to appoint me as the commander of Sili, we will send troops to Yanzhou. This is enough to make Cao Cao obey. "

Today's Cao Cao is not strong enough.

Cao Cao's small-scale rise is to win Yuan Shu, defeat Lv Bu and annex Guanzhong.

That's the power.

The real rise of Cao Cao is that he defeated Yuan Shao and captured Jizhou and other places.

But now, it is far from enough.

Cao Cao's strength is far from perfect.

Zhang Xiu's overall strength is really inferior to Cao Cao, but Zhang Xiu is not afraid to wear shoes barefoot. His strength was weak, but Cao Cao could not come out to attack Zhang Xiu, otherwise Cao Cao would be unstable.

Because Cao Cao is not like Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao beat Gongsun Zan without fighting back. It can be said that Yuan Shao has no worries now, but Cao Cao is his enemy on all sides.

Zhang Xiu continued: "what about the second point?"

Jia Yu replied, "please send a notice to the people in Guanzhong, calling on the people in Guanzhong to return to live in Guanzhong, and inviting countless people hiding in the mountains to return to their original places."

"It's just a notice calling on the people to return. It's hard to attract people."

"Inside, there are three main points."

"The first point is that the people who return to Guanzhong can get the seeds free of charge and get the land for cultivation."

"The second point is that the returning people do not have to worry about food and clothing. However, the government will make unified arrangements for the work of the common people who return to Guanzhong, giving them food and money to support their families. Today, Guanzhong is empty, with ditches and farmland abandoned everywhere. The government takes the lead in providing work relief, which is enough to support countless people. "

"The third key point is that if the people who return to Guanzhong are literate, they will be given priority in selecting and appointing them to the posts of District, pavilion and township heads in order to enrich the local people."

Jia Xu put forward the method of resuming production.

Only relying on the local people in Guanzhong, it takes countless time to recover.

Only with the help of the government.

Only by calling people back to their hometown and giving them all kinds of conveniences can they succeed.

The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.

Even for ordinary people, they need to be driven by interests to do things.

Zhang Xiu even said three good words, with a look of praise on her face, and said: "what you are worried about is that you will surely trigger a wave of Guanzhong people returning home."

Jia Xu said: "the Lord once killed the Huns, which was very powerful and respected by countless scholars. The announcement made by the Lord in Guanzhong will surely win the support of countless people. "

Zhang xiudao: "mistakenly praised."

After a pause, Zhang Xiu continued: "what about the third step?"

Jia Xu stroked his beard under his jaw and said, "the operation of the third step is actually very simple, which is to imitate the second step."

"The Lord issued another notice, the book of telling the world to the scholars, stating the situation in Guanzhong and the lack of talents to govern the place. He called on the talented people to show their talents in Guanzhong."

"In order to attract talents with the reputation of the Lord, it is expected that many people will come to join us. As a matter of fact, the Lord also needs to recruit talents. The talents and scholars recommended by Kuai Liang alone are not enough. "

Jia Xu put forward a third strategy.

"That's true," said Zhang Xiu

Today's Zhang Xiu has won youfufeng and jingzhaoyin. Next, she will win other counties in Sili area, which requires countless talents.

Zhang Xiu said, "you are responsible for the three things mentioned by Wen he. You can arrange them immediately."

"Here it is

Jia Xu bowed his hand to answer the question.

Under the command of Zhang Xiu, he has been used to it for a long time now, and feels like a fish in water. Because most of the suggestions he put forward, Zhang Xiu would directly adopt whatever was beneficial to Zhang Xiu.
