Chapter 235 Military and Political Conference
After exchanging pleasantries, Zhao Sihu came to report: "I report to you, the fleeing bandits have been wiped out."
Ouyang Shuo nodded and said with a smile: "General Zhao, yes, you have made great achievements this time, leading your troops to break through two checkpoints, attracting more than half of the bandits out of the village, laying the foundation for the victory of suppressing bandits, you deserve a reward!"
"This is the job of the last general, I dare not be a prince to appreciate it!" Zhao Sihu was a little excited.
Ouyang Shuo waved his hand, took out the "Five Tiger Sword Sutra" he just got from his storage bag, handed it to Zhao Sihu, and said, "This Marquis rewards you with this "Five Tiger Saber Sutra", I hope you will study hard, Become a tiger in the army."
Zhao Sihu took the cheat book excitedly, and knelt down on one knee: "Thank you Junhou for the reward!"
Ouyang Shuo then took out another box of silver and said, "Distribute these silver coins to the soldiers to show their achievements!"
"Here!"
After the rewards were completed, the army officially set off.
*************
On the afternoon of September 25th in the first year of Gaia, Ouyang Shuo led his troops back to Shanhai County.
After returning, he handed over all the captives and supplies to the Military Affairs Administration and the Interior Administration.
The Military Affairs Administration is responsible for selecting reserve members from among the combat bandits. In addition, the Department of Combat Readiness of the Military Affairs Administration is also responsible for registering and cataloging military supplies one by one and putting them in the arsenal.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs is responsible for identifying war criminals, and the heinous ones are handed over to the Criminal Division for execution. The remaining bandits were temporarily placed outside the city by the Household Registration Department. For these bandits, Ouyang Shuo had other arrangements.
Back at the Hou Mansion, Ouyang Shuo handed over the remaining two boxes of silver and one box of jewelry to Zisu, and she was responsible for putting the property into the inner treasury of the Hou Mansion.
Of course, Ouyang Shuo did not forget to tell Zi Su to prepare a box of malt candy for Xue Er.
Ouyang Shuo temporarily withheld the two boxes of gold seized in the secret room. Including the remaining funds and the funds seized from the cottage, the funds in Ouyang Shuo's storage bag reached 31,000 gold coins.
After dealing with trivial matters, Ouyang Shuo took out the biggest harvest of this bandit suppression, the king-level summoning talisman.
Ouyang Shuo tore off the summoning talisman, a white light flashed, and a young general riding a white horse appeared.
"System prompt: Congratulations to the player Qiyue Wuyi for successfully subduing the king-level historical figure Luo Shixin, and a special reward of 50 reputation points."
Seeing Ouyang Shuo, the young general dismounted immediately, knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists with both hands, and solemnly said: "The last general, Luo Shixin, pay homage to the lord!"
Luo Shixin was originally a general of Zhang Xutuo, the general guard of Qi County in the Sui Dynasty. He followed him to conquer the peasant uprising army, and then returned to the Wagang Army. He was awarded the post of general manager. He was seriously injured and captured during the battle with Wang Shichong.
Because he was not ashamed of Wang Shichong, he led his troops to the Tang Dynasty and was worshiped as the general manager of the Shanzhou Road.
Compared with other historical figures, Luo Shixin's most distinctive feature is his youth. Luo Shixin joined the army at the age of fourteen. Wu De was captured in the Battle of Mingshui in five years and was killed by Liu Heita at the age of twenty-three.
It's a pity that he died young, otherwise he might become a generation of famous generals.
Overjoyed, Ouyang Shuo took a step forward and helped Luo Shixin up with both hands: "General, please get up quickly!"
After Luo Shixin got up, Ouyang Shuo took the opportunity to check his attributes.
[Name]: Luo Shixin (King Class)
【Dynasty】: Sui and Tang Dynasties
[Identity]: General of Shanhai County
[Occupation]: Senior General
[Loyalty]: 80 points
[Commander]: 70 [Force]: 85 [Intelligence]: 50 [Politics]: 35
[Speciality]: Bravery: Increase troop attack power by 20%; Rush: Increase marching speed by 20%.

[Equipment]: Iron Overlord Spear
[Evaluation]: A scholar is a pioneer if he acts with faith, and he is a palace if he does not. However, the law is strict, and there is no less debt from the old relatives, and the following are not very attached.
Luo Shixin's arrival, to Ouyang Shuo, was a timely rain. He is worried about the lack of senior generals, unable to continue to expand the army. With Luo Shixin, more than half of the problem has been solved.
Because it is getting late, it is inconvenient to talk in depth. Ouyang Shuo introduced Luo Shixin to Ge Hongliang, Director of Military Affairs, and he will receive him on his behalf. The specific arrangement will be discussed tomorrow.
During dinner at night, Ouyang Shuo asked Song Jia: "How is the construction of the Dongli Sword Sect's resident?"
"It's almost finished. The opening ceremony will be held on October 1st." Song Jia seemed a little excited.
Ouyang Shuo nodded, and said with a smile, "Okay, from now on, you really have to call Master Song. On the day of the ceremony, I'll give you a big gift."
Song Jia's eyes lit up. With Ouyang Shuo's current status, the big gift he was talking about must be quite heavy. He asked curiously, "What gift?"
"We'll find out when the time comes." Ouyang Shuo said sarcastically.
"Hmph, if you don't say it, don't say it!"
*************
September 26th, ten o'clock in the morning.
Taking advantage of the fact that the chief generals of the 1st and 3rd Brigade had not yet returned to their respective camps, Ouyang Shuo presided over the military and political meeting of Shanhai County. This is the first military-political meeting held in Shanhai County since the establishment of the Military Affairs Administration and the official separation of the military and the government. The standard is quite high.
In the government affairs system, all officials above the director level are present; in the military system, as long as they can arrive in time, all generals above the battalion level are present. In addition, Ouyang Shuo also invited a group of experts to attend the meeting.
In September, Ouyang Shuo spent most of his time away from home, so he couldn't help taking care of the government affairs of the territory. Fortunately, there were several directors in charge of government affairs, and there were no major disturbances, but they also did not produce any outstanding results.
In the army, apart from dealing with the battle situation, Ouyang Shuo spent all his time thinking about the territory's future development plan and formulation of the territory's strategy.
With the rapid expansion of the territory and the introduction of a large number of player groups, Shanhai County seems to be booming, but there are many hidden dangers inside. The most fundamental problem is that we lose our direction and have no clear strategic positioning.
Based on this, Ouyang Shuo thought of holding a military and political meeting to build a consensus.
Ouyang Shuo sat at the head and said, "Fan Qing, please introduce the basic situation of your territory."
"Here!" Fan Zhongyan got up, "Currently, apart from Shanhai County, the base of the territory, there are eight subsidiary territories, including four county towns and four townships. The territory spans more than half of the Lianzhou Basin and is long and narrow from east to west. In terms of population, the population of Shanhai County has just broken through so far. 80,000 mark, the total population of the territory has exceeded 240,000."
"In terms of finance, Beihai County, Yushui County, and Youyi County have basically achieved self-sufficiency, and their income and expenditure tend to be balanced. The newly occupied Tianfeng County, Yongye Town and other five subsidiary territories need financial subsidies. Especially Tianfeng County Feng County has undertaken half of the construction of Tianhai Road and needs a large amount of financial subsidies."
After Fan Zhongyan retired, Ge Hongliang, as a representative of the military, took the lead in speaking: "I would like to report to the Marquis, with Shanhai County as the center, radiating Beihai County, Yushui County, and Youyi County, with a population of more than 200,000 in the central area. Including the North Sea Fleet and the City Defense Battalion, plus the two sword and shield battalions and one archer battalion temporarily reorganized, the total strength is only 15,000. My minister suggests that the army should be expanded again."
As expected of Ouyang Shuo's confidant, Ge Hongliang's speech hit Ouyang Shuo's heart.
Ouyang Shuo nodded, and said, "Ge Qing's suggestion is very good, the time is right to expand the army. Zhao Sihu!"
"The last general is here!" Zhao Sihu came out.
"You will form the city guard brigade based on the city defense battalion, two sword and shield battalions, and one archer battalion. You will be appointed as the acting brigade commander. You will be appointed after you are officially promoted."
"Thank you Junhou for promoting!" Zhao Sihu was a little excited.
"With the continuous relocation of the east and west camps, the field army has been unable to return to the base camp in time. Therefore, compared with the city defense camp, the responsibilities of the city guard brigade are more important. In addition to guarding the city walls and gates, they are also responsible for Defense around Shanhai County. The city guard brigade will include two sword and shield battalions, two archer battalions and one cavalry battalion. The crossbowmen squadron of the former city defense battalion will withdraw from the sequence of the city guard brigade and be placed under the jurisdiction of the Shenji battalion." The change of duties means that it will be promoted from the second rank of the army to the first rank.
"Here!" Zhao Sihu suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavy.
"Zhang Daniu, Hu Yibiao!"
"The end is here!" The two went out together.
"Zhishui County City Defense Battalion and Youyi County City Defense Battalion have also been upgraded to City Guard Brigade, and the two of you will serve as acting brigade commanders." Ouyang Shuo expanded the city guard system into place at once.
"Thank you Junhou for promoting!"
After adjusting the city guards, Ouyang Shuo continued, "Wang Feng!"
"The end is here!"
"The Guards Battalion has been upgraded to the Imperial Guards Brigade, and you will be the commander of the brigade. Remember, the formation of the Imperial Guards Brigade should not be rushed. After each brigade is formed and has formed combat effectiveness, we will select them." Wang Feng was promoted in the Battle of Eshiling As a mid-level military general, he completely relieved Ouyang Shuo of his worries, and began to expand the troops of his direct line on a large scale.
"Here!"
Shanhai County has the City Guard Brigade and the Imperial Guard Brigade to guard together, and with the assistance of the Shenji Battalion, they can rest easy.
Ouyang Shuo looked at Luo Shixin who was kneeling beside Ge Hongliang, and said, "Luo Shixin!"
"The end is here!" Luo Shixin was basically familiar with the structure of Shanhai County last night, and he seemed full of confidence.
"General, you are in charge of forming the fourth brigade of the first division. The fourth brigade is a light cavalry brigade equipped with green horses and stationed in the camp in the west of the city. I appoint you as the deputy general of the camp in the west of the city and the commander of the fourth brigade."
"Thank you Junhou for promoting!"
"Long live Shi!"
"The end is here!" Shi Wansui came out.
"After the formation of the fourth brigade is completed, the camp in the west of the city should be activated. General, lead two field brigades to sweep through the planned area along Tianhai Road and clear out the surrounding rogues."
"Here!" Shi Wansui was inexplicably excited when he heard that there was another action.
Now that he decided to end his efforts to hide his strength and bide his time, Ouyang Shuo naturally wanted to take the initiative.
According to his plan, the first step is to clear the western region of the Lianzhou Basin and provide a safe and reliable environment for the next step of territorial construction.
