"System, exchange it for me for an intermediate scribe and an intermediate general."

As Zhong Yu finished speaking, two figures appeared in the hall under his seat. The two figures looked around, saw himself sitting at the head of the hall, and quickly leaned down to bow down.

"Subordinates, Zhao Xin and Zhang Lie, pay homage to the lord."

It turns out that the middle-level scribe is called Zhao Xin, and the middle-level general is called Zhang Lie.

"Very good. I am looking for you to come here. It is exactly what my territory needs. There is a county magistrate. The vacancy of the county magistrate is what I need you to fill."

Both of them were overjoyed to hear that they had received such an important position just after arriving.

"We will never forget it, and we will work conscientiously to protect this inheritance for the Lord, and we will not dare to let the Lord down."

He replied quickly, fearing that if he hesitated like this, a good job would be taken away.

"Well, then, you go down, I will arrange for someone to take you to have a good understanding of the situation in the territory? Then you can take over as soon as possible."

Later, Zhong Yu summoned five more junior scribes and ten junior generals, asking them to follow the two intermediate talents.

Three days later, all affairs in the territory were arranged by Zhong Yu. Zhao Xin and Zhang Lie also took over the positions of county magistrate and county lieutenant, and other civil and military positions in the county were also filled.

The extra people will temporarily serve as deputies to other officers to accumulate experience. When there are vacancies, they can be filled in time without any panic or inexperience.

And Zhong Yu, with his 100 knights, came to the center of the square of the territory and declared to the system that he would go to conquer other worlds.

Many people may be a little surprised. Didn't you say that you would summon two thousand soldiers? What about those people

In fact, Zhong Yu asked about the system later and found out that those soldiers could also be summoned in the Three Kingdoms world.

After all, there is not much difference between the world of the Three Kingdoms and this world. They are both worlds to be conquered by Zhong Yu, but there are some differences in their power levels.

It's just that because of the different regions, he needs to pay him 10% extra luck points.

Therefore, Zhong Yu can go to the world of the Three Kingdoms, choose a place where he wants to start an uprising, summon the two thousand troops, and attack the people in that place, which will definitely have an unexpected effect.

"System, start crossing, crossing location, Fangling County, Hanzhong County."

"Confirm the time travel and the time travel begins."

With a flash of white light, Zhong Yu and the 100 elite knights around him disappeared directly in front of all the people.

July, the sixth year of Guanghe's reign in the Eastern Han Dynasty. In the Yizhou Governor's Department, in Fangling County in the eastern part of Hanzhong County. In the middle of a lush forest, a burst of white light suddenly flashed.

Zhong Yu and his knights appeared in this bamboo forest. Suddenly a large group of people appeared, and the surrounding birds and beasts started to fly away in all directions.

According to the "Book of Han" records, in the fifth year of Emperor Yonghe's reign (140 years), there were 57,344 households and a population of 267,402. Ling County 13: Nanzheng County, Chenggu County, Xicheng County, Baozhong County, Mianyang County, Anyang County, Xi County, Shangyong County, Fangling County, Xunyang County, Xing County, Wuling County, Changli County .

In just one county, there are 13 county towns with a population of nearly 270,000. On average, one county has nearly 20,000 people.

Fangling County is currently located in the easternmost part of Hanzhong County. It has a vast territory and sparsely populated areas. The area of one county is equivalent to 3 or 4 other counties. It has a relatively large population of about 30,000 people.

Zhongyu is now located to the east of Fangling County, separated from Jingzhou by the Han River. To the north is Nanxiang County in Nanyang County, Jingzhou, to the east is Fuxian County, to the south is the mountains, beyond the mountains is Bajun, and to the west is Shangyong County.

There is a Han River blocking the east and north. As long as you guard the dangerous crossing, you can defend yourself against the threat from Jingzhou. There are mountains blocking the south, which can basically eliminate the danger of the enemy's army pressing into the border.

Therefore, he only needs to focus on attacking the west, developing land, and establishing his own territory.

His current goal is Fangling County. In order to prevent the news from leaking before occupying Fangling County, it is necessary to block the roads and set up checkpoints extensively.

The general system of each county in the Han Dynasty was that large counties had five townships and small counties had three townships. In the Han Dynasty, each township was called Southeast Township, Northwest Township, or Shangxia Township according to different regions, and the township where the county seat was located was called Duxiang, which means capital.

The current location I am in is Dongxiang. Among the five townships in Fangling County, it is the largest in area and the second in population. It has a population of about 8,000 people. This number can be compared with some small counties.

But now, what he should consider is how to annex the entire Dongxiang without leaking the news. I just photographed a few cavalrymen and went to find out the news.

They are back now, and they are not worried about their communication with the villagers. They were also born in the Han Dynasty, so basic communication should be possible.

Moreover, their clothes are very confusing. They are all wearing the military uniforms of the Central Army of the Han Dynasty. It can be used to fool these unsophisticated people in the countryside.

As long as he can block the entire Han River, detain merchants coming and going, set up checkpoints along the road, and not allow pedestrians to pass.

So for Jingzhou, they don't have to worry about it for at least three months. They have already occupied the entire Fangling County.

As for the West, as long as they keep attacking quickly and don't give them time to react, there won't be a big problem.

I asked the cavalry who had just returned from inquiring about the news. I found that fifteen miles to the east was the first pavilion of Dongxiang.

Because Dongxiang is located on the edge of the Han River, merchants come and go around, and the land is very fertile through the irrigation of the Han River. Therefore, taxes are very high. The imperial court specially established a city guard with about a hundred people to station in Dongxiang.

The seat of Dongxiang is a small city with a wall of five meters high. There are about 1,000 civilians living inside. Because it is the only city within dozens of miles, the city is relatively prosperous.

Now that I have a general understanding of the surrounding situation, what I have to consider now is how to approach the small town of Dongxiang without alarming the 100 troops in the city.

However, this time I happened to bring 100 cavalrymen, all wearing the uniforms of the Central Army of the Han Dynasty, so they could help the Central Army come to the local area for official business.

He went directly to the small town of Dongxiang with the cavalry in an open and honest manner. Presumably those people along the way did not dare to stop him until he reached the city.

A direct surprise attack, so that before the guards could react, he led the cavalry into the city and captured the county government office. This would create an established fact, and then he would be able to successfully take over the entire Dongxiang.

After planning the next tactics, Zhong Yu led his cavalry directly to Dongxiang City. When he saw pedestrians on the road along the way, he didn't give way and just ran all the way.

The common people and merchants along the way were all in a hurry and did not dare to speak, and they were all surprised in their hearts. This is a military master from a big city. They are all cavalry, and they are wearing valuable armor.

In the Han Dynasty, generally only officers leading fifty or hundreds of people could wear the armor of the cavalry. But now there are a group of hundreds of cavalry. No wonder they are guessing in their minds.

I'm in a bad mood today. The third update will make everyone feel better.
