Chapter 360 Reorganization (2/2)
All remaining 30,000 soldiers from the Immortal Legion also moved to Demon Legion, which they would travel to the Pingyuan City to defend the southern borders.
Their homework development was similar to the Monster Legion, cultivating the lands while they were on duties.
As for the legion under Tong's command, the Immortal Legion, Tong appointed Xun Yu as the legion strategist, and he transferred two men into the group. One was Zhao Yun, who did not have a post. As for the other, he picked a dark horse who was hiding within Kong Rong's ranks, Taishi Ci.
The young thousand man commander was astonished when he was promoted. Even Kong Rong was surprised that Tong picked a soldier from his ranks into his personal troops.
Because this legion transferred all soldiers to other battalions, they moved all 10,000 reserve troops and new recruits from all cities into the unit, which their goal is to expand the size to 30,000 men before December.
Other former governors, such as Zhang Jiao, Zhen Yi, and Kong Rong, got their raises and entitled as a marquis of their territory. However, they did not have the right to command any legion in their cities.
A newcomer, Wang Yun, also got the boon of these changes. He received a title as the governor of Nanpi, which he could take control of Yuan Shao's former home city. He was tasked to coordinate with the department of justice to expand the garrison policemen there.
Unfortunately, Tong did not have enough hands to protect Kong Rong's Beihai City. Therefore, he transferred the 10,000 reserve policemen from Julu to Beihai, helping him garrisoning the city from a possible invading from the south.
With all these movements, Tong finished the policy for this year. For the sake of his country foundation, they would develop their domestic power further. Once they did not have to rely on Li Feihong's food and [Create Food] ability, Tong would expand his kingdom again.

May, 188 A.D.
Cao Cao obtained all spy reports in details, which included the future plan for emperor election in the next 12 years.
Cheng Yu and Cao Cao had to read the reports three times as this move was too absurd.
Even someone like Pu Jing had to scratch his head in baffled, ”Is Zhang Tong nuts!?”
Cheng Yu groaned, ”He's mad. His court will split into two, and they will destroy themselves from the inside. I don't see the point why he creates a chaotic environment for his subordinates.”
Pu Jing sneered, ”If it's a something republic monarchy, I can relate. But choosing an emperor by an election? Talk about creativity, it's so creative that it's stupid.”
Cao Cao, on the other hand, had not commented or criticized Tong yet. He picked a different report and skimmed through it the fifth time.
Ten minutes after the frantic search, Cao Cao held his mouth.
”Putin, do you know anything about Tong's organization called Police Department and a newly created FBI?”
Hearing the keyword, Pu Jing frowned, ”FBI? Federal Bureau of Investigation? Are they trying to use that system here? Mengde, can I see the report?”
Cao Cao passed five scrolls to Pu Jing, which he sat and read it with widened eyes.
While Pu Jing was reading them, Cao Cao began his analysis, ”Zhang Tong splitted his subordinates into two factions. Then, he created a new organization with someone from Sima Clan as the head. From our past investigation, didn't Zhang Tong kill Sima Xin? Why is this Sima Fang still serving him knowing that Zhang Tong killed his son!?”
Cheng Yu shook his head, ”They're insane. I don't see the merit in this. Let's leave them alone, Mengde. Since they are committing political suicide, let's ignore Zhang Tong and focus on our expansion. We need to be ready for Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao's movements.”
Cao Cao nodded, but he paused to wait for Pu Jing.
Another ten minutes passed, Pu Jing raised his head to look at the two.
”Zhang Tong took a gamble.”
”What gamble?”
”A long term one. Zhang Tong hasn't splitted his subordinates into two factions but three! One under himself, one under Liu Xie, and one under the Sima Clan!”
”Huh? What's the point of that? I still don't understand.”
”The newly founded FBI is an organization that investigates into the officials' deeds. They are an intelligence agency that looks into the corruption issues, which will keep the internal fighting in check. However, because of the rivalry between factions in the future, all sides will try to outwit the others. They will strengthen their forces while they discover their opponent's weaknesses. As a byproduct of that, his kingdom's strength will enter a rapid growth period at the cost of Zhang Tong's absolute control.”
”Sounds … good in the paper, but it will be impossible on the practical level. In reality, they will focus more on destroying others rather than the development.”
”Indeed. Humans are smart creatures. They will exploit that system from the inside for the sake of their interests. That's why I said it's a gamble.”
Cao Cao caught up with the idea. He stared into the eyes of Pu Jing, ”If it's a gamble, then Zhang Tong has a chance to succeed.”
Pu Jing nodded, ”Yes. But it won't be Zhang Tong who will turn this plan into reality.”
In Pu Jing's mind, an image of an obnoxious president of a country flashed back. He clicked his tongue in an annoyance whenever this chubby face man showed up in his thought.
