"The division of states and counties...:"

Zu Ban skillfully took out a map from his arms. Zu Ban prepared this map a long time ago. When he attacked Chang'an and got the accurate map, he began to prepare.

Zu Ban not only made the regional division of Bashu and other places in advance, but he even made the Chen State. When he decided to assist Liu Taozi in the uprising, he began to try to divide the prefectures and counties in the world.

This map was placed in front of the three of them. Gao Changgong looked at it a few times and felt a little strange.

"In the past, my grandfather always divided the numbers, but didn't like to divide the counties in many states and counties. What's going on today...

Zu Ban's map changed the past style and divided the prefectures and counties more in detail. In the Guanzhong area alone, he divided four states, and in Bashu, the Wen divided six states, plus Gan and Liang, that is twelve states.

In the past twenty-one states, plus these twelve states, the number of states reached thirty-three.

Zu Ban narrowed his eyes, "Hebei and Henan are our hinterlands, close to Yecheng, but this Guanzhong Bashu has been separated from us for a long time, so this side should be subdivided."

"Besides, Guanzhong and Bashu are difficult to pass and government orders are difficult to pass. If they are not divided, it will lead to inefficiency and will be detrimental to future governance."

Although the war has been won, the dawn of great unification has already appeared.

But they took over a mess.

Capture is important, but governance is even more important. If people's livelihood cannot be stabilized and the local area is comforted, the newly recovered land will continue to consume the national strength of the Han Dynasty. Not only will it not be strengthened, it may also cause huge damage.

Zu Ban pondered for a long time, then looked at Liu Taozi. For the first time, he was a little hesitant.

Liu Taozi and Gao Changgong could see Zu Ting thinking, but neither of them disturbed him.

Zu Ban pondered for a long time and suddenly said, "Your Majesty, this governor is easy to say. He can promote prefects or officials with outstanding political achievements and reputation, and can also promote some wise men from Zhou State in the past. However, should we set up two platforms?"

"Hand up?"

"Due to the situation of the two places, Guanzhong Daoxingtai and Bashu Daoxingtai were set up, and then two respectable wise men were sent to serve as the Minister of the Xingtai, who were fully responsible and had to make decisions on their own. In this way, they could increase efficiency and adapt to local conditions."

Zu Ban slowly expressed his thoughts.

Gao Changgong didn't understand these very well, so he chose to remain silent.

Liu Taozi asked, "Is it useful?"

"It's useful in the short term, but it must be removed later."

"If it works, just come as you said."

Zu Ban actually can't come up with a very novel and unique way to clean up the mess at the moment. He can make strange plans in war, but the governance can only be honest and step by step.

Even if some places have special characteristics, it is also a similar way to make household registration, grant cultivated land, reduce taxes, clean up thieves, and let the place slowly recover itself.

This war has made the north a terrible situation, and it is unlikely that it will be possible to appease these places with the whole country’s strength.

In the first year, we can only arrange officials first, and then wait until the north recovers, and then slowly support this side and then improve the overall national strength.

In this case, the choice of local officials becomes the most important thing.

The one-time expansion is too large, and there are not enough reserve officials.

According to Zu Ban's proposal, Han State began to adjust its strategy, shifting from offense to defense, and it is best to develop peacefully.

There will be no war in a short period of time.

Although the Han-Zhou War ended and the Chen State retreated, in fact, the Han State is still in a state of war not only because the troops from all over the country are still outside, but the most important thing is that the north is still fighting.

That's right, when Liu Taozi led the army to Chang'an, Yuwen Yong's father-in-law began to harass and attack from the north, while Liu Taozi's father-in-law went out to resist.

The fourth battle between father-in-law broke out, and both sides fought intermittently until now.

Huluguang never let the other party get any advantage.

Although he was at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, he successfully repelled several enemy attacks with the advantages of military ordnance and the quality of the troops, but he was unable to attack due to the limited logistics, which was a bit inappropriate.

In addition, although Yuwen Zan surrendered, the Han Dynasty had not completely allowed all Zhou people to submit to their Baisha County.

This is an important passage to the south of Shu.

The Zhou flag is still hung above the city.

Among the residents of the city, there were many people dressed in barbarians. The city was barely orderly and not completely chaotic.

In the official office located in the center of the city, the last several ministers of the Zhou State sat side by side, looking at the edict in their hands.

Yuchi Jiong is here.

After defeat, Yuchi Jiong fled all the way back to the rear, and was ordered to meet with Yuwen Xiaobo, pretending to take the emperor's car to the south to attract the enemy's attack.

When they ran all the way to Baisha and were about to continue advancing south, the Han army chased after him again, but

This time they did not attack, but only brought the imperial edict from the Emperor of Zhou.

He asked all regions to surrender to Han.

The seals and words on this edict can prove that this was written by his own emperor.

The Zhou Kingdom was destroyed.

This news completely destroyed the last morale of Zhou State.

The soldiers were completely collapsed and were unwilling to fight again.

Even these leading officials had different opinions.

Yuchi Jiong was unwilling to surrender.

However, the Zhou Kingdom had perished and the emperor surrendered. What could Hewen do?

Yuchi Jiong slowly looked at Yuwen Xiaobo beside him.

He obviously wanted to say something. Yuwen Xiaobo looked at him for a long time, but neither of them spoke.

But the ministers on the side couldn't sit still.

"Your Majesty has surrendered to the great man, so why should we continue to rush? This road is becoming increasingly difficult. Besides, if we continue to resist, who knows whether the Han Lord will blame His Majesty for his mistakes? Then don't we become evil people who harm His Majesty?"

They were talking about Dayi Lingran. Han Qinhu, who was standing not far away, looked confused at this moment.

This young man also didn't know where he should go.

Yuchi Jiong's lips trembled for a long time, and then suddenly felt relieved.

He nodded, "Okay, let's just drop."

"Everyone, be prepared, change your clothes, and surrender out of the city."

Many of the people here showed joy and left one after another.

Yuchi Jing and Yuwen Xiaobo were motionless and sat here.

When everyone left, the two of them stood up.

"Duke Shu, I was a little prejudiced to you in the past, and told Your Majesty: I cannot win over people like you in doing big things. I hope Duke Shu will not blame you."

Yuwen Xiaobo took the lead in delivering the ceremony.

Yuchi Jiong smiled, "No, no, talk about it, my incompetent nephew Ah Yun came to me and said that you were deeply loved and forced him to deal with him, I also scolded you, saying that you are a traitor who has no ability and only knows how to please His Majesty."

The two chatted for a few words, and then Yuchi Jiong bowed and bowed.

"Just say so much."

"Donald Anhua, say goodbye!"

Yuwen Xiaobo took a step back and saluted him, "Duke of Shu, say goodbye!"

The two of them smiled and turned around and left.

In August, the white sand surrendered.
