"It is a shame for me to be defeated by a meter of thieves. Now that General Longxiang is stationed in Hanzhong, he will be able to fear the rebels and prevent the rebels from stepping into Hanzhong."

Liu Fan deprived Su Gu of his military power, but Su Gu had no complaints.

Su Gu was a man from Fufeng. He was a scholar who was a filial and honest man and did not know the military tactics at all.

Su Gu remembered what happened yesterday. The bandits entered the city, and there was no way to retreat or hide. The whole city was full of bandits.

If Liu Fan had not come to support at this critical moment, he would have died in this Nanzheng City.

Zhao Yun and Su Gu also heard about it. He was one of the Five Tiger Generals and Liu Fan's confidant generals.

With him here, Liu Yan would never dare to be presumptuous.

When Zhao Yun heard Su Gu's words, he bowed to Su Gu.

"Prime Minister, this is Zhao Song, the chief clerk of my mansion. He has the courage to fight against a hundred people, and has the talent to govern counties. This is Chen Diao in my mansion. He is also good at literary and military affairs, and has a courage and good recipe. He had advised me to set up a pass in the Micang Mountain area earlier. Because I had a narrow vision and did not obey, the prime minister came here in person. Zhao Song, Chen Diao stayed in my mansion with great talent, and knew the prime minister's energy and talent. I recommended Zhao Song and Chen Diao to the prime minister, hoping that the prime minister could measure it."

Su Gu pointed at Zhao Song and Chen Ti and said to Liu Fan.

Liu Fan looked at Zhao Song and Chen Diao behind Su Gu.

Zhao Song is eight feet tall and has a strong figure. He has a very righteous face, a literary style, and a fierce martial artist.

Chen Tiao is seven feet and seven inches tall, dressed properly, with bright eyes and revealing the unruly and straight wind, like a wise man and a gentleman.

"Yesterday, it was counted that Zhang Lu had 20,000 soldiers descending from Zhang Xiu and 5,000 soldiers from Hanzhong County. I plan to recruit 15,000 soldiers in the Hanzhong area. The five thousand Dragon-sheared Cavalry, accompanied by Zilong, were stationed in Hanzhong. There were a total of 45,000 generals in the army to command the training, but I didn't expect that the prefect Su sent me two generals."

After Liu Fan observed Zhao Song and Chen Diao, he said happily.

Liu Fan had the deepest impression of Zhao Song. Judging from his momentum, his force could be compared with Zhou Cang.

Chen Diao was able to offer his tactics to garrison Yoicang, which shows that he had a unique vision.

"I am humble in my low-level academic studies and I am willing to serve as the Prime Minister."

Zhao Song and Chen Diao bowed to Liu Fan at the same time.

"I have appointed two captains as the captains. Let's obey General Longxiang's account and help General Longxiang train his soldiers. The day when he becomes a elite soldier is the time to go south to pacify Guanzhong."

Liu Fan helped Zhao Song and Chen Diao up and directly appointed them as military officers.

"Thank you Prime Minister!"

Zhao Song and Chen Ti were overjoyed and bowed to Liu Fan at the same time.

"Zilong must grasp the 20,000 of the surrendered soldiers. If someone does not want to join the army, let them return to their hometown as soon as possible and recruit vacancies. Those who stay are treated equally. The deployment of troops in Hanzhong is allocated by Zilong. The 10,000 cavalry and stances I brought will be brought back when I leave. For the moment, the war in Liangzhou is more important."

Liu Fan said to Zhao Yun.

"promise!"

Zhao Yun bowed and took the order.

"Bai Lan is the deputy general of the Hanzhong Army under Zilong's command. Zhao Song and Chen Diao are good talents and must be well carved. If I want to pacify the world, it will not be possible to rely solely on the Five Tigers."

Liu Fan ordered Zhao Yun.

"Many generals in the army are from General Huang's subordinates. Zhao Yun also hopes to train several generals who can stand alone for the prime minister!"

Zhao Yun said with a red face.

It was the first time he was truly in charge of the army, and he was still very excited.

"Today, we will complete the military processing, and tomorrow we will go to Hanzhong counties to investigate. And I will write a letter to warn Liu Yan. I also hope that Bashu can be pacified as soon as possible, but now is not the time."

...

In the next few days, Liu Fan led his personal guards from west to east to explore the counties in Hanzhong.

Liu Fan from Hanzhong counties including Nanzheng, Mianyang, Baozhong, Chenggu, Anyang entered the city one by one to check.

Whenever he entered a county, Liu Fan would ask the county magistrate to have a conversation. He would also go back to talk to the people of the county in person.

As a result, half of the county magistrates in Hanzhong were dismissed by Liu Fan. It was not that Liu Fan was nitpicking, but that some people were unable to take on major responsibilities.

To the north of Daba Mountain, Xicheng County.

Liu Fan discovered that the area north of Daba Mountain had a flat wilderness and was very suitable for farming, but this area was full of wasteland.

There are also many places in Hanzhong that are good places for farming. Once a large amount of farming is cultivated, the tax revenue from Hanzhong can easily support more than 40,000 troops in Hanzhong.

When he arrived in Xicheng County, Liu Fan did not make as big a fuss as he went to other counties.

Liu Fan stationed the Dragon Bird Guard in the wilderness in front of Daba Mountain, and then took only Dian Wei, Xu Chu and other dozen people to a village in Xicheng County.

Xicheng County is already very dependent on the west of Hanzhong and is far away from the place where Zhang Lu, Zhang Xiu and Su Gu fought, so the war did not affect Xicheng County, and the people's livelihood in Xicheng County was relatively stable.

In August, it is high in autumn, and in a field full of fields, a group of men, women, young and old are weeding in the fields.

This area is irrigated by the Han River tributaries, and the crops grow very well and the people are working hard.

A sound of horse hooves appeared in the boundless wilderness. The people stopped their work and watched with hoes.

More than ten horses were running from the west. Even Dian Wei, Xu Chu and others were wearing common clothes. The people didn't know the identities of Liu Fan and others, but they were certainly not robbers.

Hanzhong County was very chaotic as early as the Guanghe period, with robbers everywhere, prefects and officials colluding with each other, and it was dark.

As a result, when Zhang Jiao Yellow Turban Rebellion, Zhang Xiu's Five Dogs of Rice Sect rose up and attacked the counties.

After Su Gu took office, he comforted the people and appointed capable people. The Five Dogs of Rice Sect temporarily calmed down, and Zhang Xiu also retreated to Ba County.

Zhao Song was brave and good at fighting. He repeatedly wiped out robbers and persuaded them to return to the farm and villages. He calmed Hanzhong for several years.

Until Liu Yan's ambition broke the peace in Hanzhong.

When Liu Fan and others arrived at the edge of this field, they held the horse and turned over and dismounted.

Dian Wei, Xu Chu and others followed Liu Fan and dismounted with their swords.

"Don't be surprised by all the villagers. Our officials from the prefect's office will be sent a message to the county magistrate according to the prefect's order. Passing by this place, we will come to see the harvest in Gui County."

Seeing that men, women, young and old were stunned, Liu Fan reached out to stop them and said amiable.

"Small people pay homage to you!"

The people hurriedly worshiped Liu Fan.

"I am just a minor official, why should the villagers be so polite!"

Liu Fan quickly stopped an old man holding a hoe.

"The great man is so majestic and more energetic than the county magistrate. How can we underestimate it? The harvest has been good in recent years, but we can still get too little of it if we rent other people's land! We can only afford to eat and spend money."

When the old man saw that Liu Fan was so approachable, he couldn't help but sigh at Liu Fan's temperament.

"The Prime Minister is in Hanzhong. Have you heard of it?"

Liu Fan asked the old man and the people around him.

Liu Fan knew that these people were tenant farmers. Such tenant farmers were so common in the Han Dynasty.
