After the people who went to support rushed to Jingzhou, Liu Zheng's side had to do something to summon the newly added commander of the Third Battalion to meet him.

Although there were new troops from the third battalion, these main generals, especially Zhang Liao and Zhang He, were all newly promoted by Liu Zheng.

Their rise also requires some controversy. Liu Zheng needs to appease them well, and at the same time arranges places for them to recruit new recruits.

Liu Zheng summoned Zhou Yu, Zhang Liao and Zhang He to meet and arranged for them to take the appointment letter to train the new corps. Before that, they need to arrange work and determine the goals.

The first person to meet Liu Zheng was naturally Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu has always stayed in Jianye and often came to the palace to play with Liu Zheng's son. At the same time, he listened to Liu Zheng's teachings. When Liu Zheng summoned him, he did not specifically ask someone to call him.

But when I happened to meet Zhou Yu, I remembered something directly, and then called Zhou Yu.

"Master, what's the situation in Jingzhou? Should Sun Ce and I take people there too?"

When Zhou Yu saw Liu Zheng, his first idea was to go to Jingzhou to hang out.

He likes war very much and is still very interested in war matters. This time, Liu Zheng did not ask him to support Jingzhou as soon as possible, and he still had some complaints.

However, although he had an objection in his heart, he did not dare to talk to Liu Zheng. He could only keep it in his heart. When he saw Liu Zheng, he was just eager to try and told Liu Zheng that he wanted to go to Jingzhou.

"The situation in Jingzhou is enough to have Taishi Ci and Wenpeng's men come over, so there is no need to make a big fuss, plus you."

Zhou Yu was still looking forward to it, but after hearing Liu Zheng's answer, he was immediately discouraged.

Zhou Yu was a little disappointed, but Liu Zheng's next words made Zhou Yu feel energetic again.

"However, although you don't have to go to Jingzhou, I still have important things to do."

After Liu Zheng finished speaking, he immediately made Zhou Yu happy and hurriedly asked.

"What's the matter? Master, I will definitely complete the task you assigned!"

"It's not a big deal. Over the past year, you and Sun Ce have grown up a lot and have changed a lot. I am very excited to be a division and want you to take charge of a battalion of troops by yourself."

When Liu Zheng saw Zhou Yu, he did not beat him around the bush and said his plans straight to the point.

Zhou Yu became more and more excited when he heard this.

"Let Sun Ce temporarily replace Taishici and guard Xuzhou, but you stay in Jianye, recruit soldiers from Wujun, Danyang County, Kuaiji County and other places, and retrain the soldiers of the first battalion."

In recent years, because Liu Zheng occupied Jianye and the entire Yangzhou area became the capital, with a huge increase in population, so there were many more soldiers available to prepare.

Over the years, Liu Zheng rarely recruited troops in the Yangzhou area, so there are still many people near Yangzhou that can be recruited.

Liu Zheng believed in Zhou Yu and asked Zhou Yu to recruit troops here, which was just right.

"Really?"

Zhou Yu looked at Liu Zheng in surprise. He was already a little excited when he heard Liu Zheng say that he could take charge of a battalion of troops alone.

After all, Zhou Yu's military rank is now at the level of a lieutenant general. After the Northern Expedition, his military achievements with Sun Ce have been greatly improved, which is enough to enter the house, and compared with some other famous generals.

"Of course it's true. It happened that our spies found out that Liu Bei was prepared this time and there may be more dangers behind him, so the troops may not be enough. We need to increase troops in a short time, so we can only take on this important task."

Zhou Yu has this experience, but he trained a soldier in a short time and his combat effectiveness is quite good.

There is naturally no problem if Zhou Yu takes action.

"Master, I promise to complete this task you assigned!"

Zhou Yu would not refuse. He wished Liu Zheng could let him take charge of the army alone, so that he and Sun Ce would be on par with him. They were both commanders of the battalion and could compete with Sun Ce. Whose troops were powerful?

"Haha, then that's the matter. If you go now, find Fengxiao, get the appointment edict, and go to train troops as soon as possible."

Liu Zheng and Zhou Yu are also familiar with each other. They are both masters and apprentices, monarchs and ministers, and even like fathers and sons.

After receiving the order from Liu Zheng, Zhou Yu went on an excited manner without hesitation and found Guo Jia. After asking Guo Jia to get the appointment letter, he went straight to the school outside Jianye City to take a place to train new recruits first.

Then they directly sent people to counties and counties in various places to draw these reserve soldiers from counties.

Liu Zheng's subordinates have always followed the recruitment system.

Because the elite military system was adopted at the beginning, many people who wanted to join the army would not directly enter the military camp.

Instead, the second-tier reserve troops are served in various places, serving as the military force of various counties and counties, and on the other hand, they can directly re-elect the troops when the major military camps need it.

Every time there are fewer counties and counties in various places, there will be more reserves, and each county will maintain one or two thousand reserve troops.

When Liu Zheng needed to add a new military camp, it was actually very simple. Zhou Yu took the edict of dispatching troops and went directly to the counties and counties in various places, and took all the reserve soldiers from the counties and counties away, and concentrated them in the military camps they were scheduled to be trained.

Moreover, these reserves are not completely new recruits. They had training as early as the counties and counties in various places and were not considered new recruits. They just needed to be directly recruited to military camps in various places and spend some time familiar with the rules of the military camps.

Therefore, in a short period of time, even only two or three months, Zhou Yu was able to successfully train a new legion.

After arranging Zhou Yu, Liu Zheng asked Zhang Liao to come and meet him.

Zhang Liao and Zhang He were not in Jianye City, they both worked under Xu Huang's men in the north.

It will take several days to get them here.

Liu Zheng waited for several days in Jianye City, and Zhang Liao and Zhang He came late.

I met Liu Zheng in Liu Zheng's study.

"The last general Zhang Liao, have met Your Majesty."

Zhang Liao knelt down on the ground. This was the first time he had seen Liu Zheng so close.

Although I had met Liu Zheng before, I met Liu Zheng as an enemy in the early years and felt a little disdainful of Liu Zheng, but after joining Liu Zheng, I learned more about Liu Zheng.

Zhang Liao admired Liu Zheng from the bottom of his heart, and finally understood how powerful the country created by Liu Zheng and Liu Zheng were.

"Wen Yuan, don't be too polite. I haven't seen you for a while, so you are still so brave."
