Anyang County has a small population, with only more than 10,000 people, but it has two checkpoints that are crucial to the entire Hanzhong within its territory.
That is the transportation arteries connecting Guanzhong and Yizhou, Jigu Pass and Xiegu Pass. Relying on these two months of transportation arteries, Hanzhong County established Jigu Pass and Xiegu Pass.
As long as these two checkpoints are occupied, the military threats from Guanzhong in the north and Wudu County in the east can be ignored.
Using the same move, he directly used the governor's seal to open the way, and successfully deceived the city defense at the checkpoint, easily bringing them under his rule.
Five hundred of his men were left behind at each checkpoint. Zhong Yu took the remaining two hundred people and the 100 people obtained by killing the defenders of the two checkpoints to Anyang County.
A mere small county town fell with his hands covered. There was no fierce resistance, and Zhong Yu took it under his control. Anyang County was relatively small, surrounded by valleys, and there were relatively few nobles.
I only killed more than 1,000 people and stopped killing after I got 50 luck points. Two hundred people were left in Anyang County, and Zhong Yu wanted to take the remaining two hundred people to Ziwu Valley in his newly built Shiquan County.
This is also an important link between Hanzhong and Guanzhong. The famous Wei Yan Ziwu Valley surprise attack during the Three Kingdoms period is said to be here.
It was still the old method, using the governor's seal to deceive the city gate into opening, and then confiscating the garrison's ordnance. Then the massacre began, and an army of fifty men was obtained.
He left 150 people to garrison here, and he would definitely send another 350 people to make up the total of 500 people. But now he can only take his 100 cavalry to Nanzheng County City, and then wait for a month to come, and he will have enough luck points to do this!
A month passed slowly, and the entire Hanzhong County went through several major purges. The original population of 270,000 was reduced to only 230,000. He killed a total of 40,000 people, which can be described as ruthless. Extremely spicy.
I only gained 920 luck points this month. If it were an army, he would only have 1,800 people, but it was impossible for the three counties he had conquered to be governed by no one.
In the previous two months, due to special reasons, I needed the army, so I implemented military control, but that is no longer possible now. He has occupied the entire Hanzhong County and needs to restore production.
Chenggu County in Hanzhong County is too large, and its eastern and southern parts are divided into Xixiang County. The southern part of Nanzheng has no barriers and is too unsafe.
He plans to invade part of Brazil County's territory in the south, occupy the northern part of Hanchang County, establish a county governance area, and establish Nanjiang County.
In this way, Hanzhong County will govern Anyang County, Baozhong County, Mianyang County, Nanzheng County, Xixiang County, Nanjiang County, and Chenggu County, a total of seven counties, reaching the highest number of counties ruled by a county, and the entire county The population will also reach 90,000.
In this way, he will own the land of three counties and nineteen counties. There are so many ruled areas that require a lot of officials.
A county needs about 25 officials, including 23 junior talents and two mid-level talents. To fill up a county, he needs about 330 luck points.
In this world without extraordinary power, there is definitely no need for talents who have cultivated literary skills. I just asked the system that if those extraordinary powers were removed, the price of exchanging talents would only be 1/3 of the original price.
In other words, a county only needs 110 luck points from him, which is probably enough.
It will take two months to completely fill these vacancies. If you add the ruling talents of the county, it will be even more.
However, Hanzhong is mountainous and the transportation is inconvenient, so it is still possible to cover up the news and communication for two months.
During this period of time, I just need to recuperate and appease the civilians.
Two months passed in the blink of an eye, and the court finally realized something was wrong with Hanzhong County. The counties in Guanzhong and Jingzhou reported their suspicions to the court and sent people to check.
After this period of recuperation, the Russian Central Region finally succeeded in arranging its own officials in various places in Hanzhong, and the counties and cities were also filled in.
All the people have settled down and are no longer as frightened as they were at the beginning. Under the governance of officials who do not corrupt or squeeze people's livelihood, my reputation among the people is improving every day.
They also gradually changed their identity as rebels and believed that they were teachers of justice who were rescuing them.
Why do you think so? Because he issued an order and announcement, that is, as long as a strong man in the family comes to join the army and is successfully admitted after passing his own selection, that family will be granted ten acres of land on the spot.
That is a great benefit and grace. More than 90% of the fields in Hanzhong County, or the entire world, are in the hands of aristocratic families, and only a small part of the fields are in the hands of some farmers with relatively rich family backgrounds.
He occupied the entire land of the nobles in Hanzhong County. It can be said that more than 90% of the people in Hanzhong County farmed for him and were his tenants.
Now that he was a government official and their master, he could have done whatever he wanted for them. But now, asking them to join an army and distribute fields, what is this but a kind and wise master
The three counties of Hanzhong were all excited. Those who came to join the army lined up for dozens of kilometers. More than 50,000 young people came to sign up to join the army.
Of course, I didn't need so many soldiers, so I absorbed a lot of unqualified people from them, including those under eighteen years old and those over forty years old.
Even so, more than 30,000 people were left, and we were only excluding some who were physically unqualified, such as those with disabilities or more serious diseases. In this way, more than thousands of people were raised.
In this way, he only had more than 20,000 people left. After a month of training, some of these people were eliminated one after another. In the end, only his 25,000 soldiers remained and became a glorious soldier under his command. Soldier.
With these newly trained and strong soldiers, Zhong Yu recalled half of the ordinary soldiers who were previously distributed in various counties. These are people with war experience. They need to stay under his command to continue the war. How can they guard the county and waste time!
After some adjustments and arrangements, he recalled a total of 2,000 ordinary soldiers, and 23,000 young and strong soldiers were left, so that he had a total of 25,000 troops, ready to go to war at any time.
The counties and counties in the direction of Jingzhou and Guanzhong discovered something was wrong with them, but the roads in Yizhou were even more blocked and the news was even more blocked, so they really hadn't discovered it yet.
However, he could take advantage of the delay of this news to catch Yizhou off guard, attack the hinterland of Yizhou first, and then open many dangerous levels.
This saves me from having to go through each level one by one, not to mention wasting time, and I don’t have that many soldiers to consume.
His first target is Wudu County, which faces Liangzhou and has Guanzhong at its back. Surrounded by mountains and dangerous mountain passes, if you control Wudu County, you can connect it with Hanzhong and completely block the connection between Yizhou and the entire northern Guanzhong.
At that time, Yizhou will be like a turtle in a urn. Having lost contact with the central court, they will be their own prey and be slaughtered by themselves.
