Chapter five hundred and sixteenth recruiting troops
When Huang Daochong left the palace, Jia Zhou's figure slowly walked out.
"Wenlong, can you hear me clearly?"
"Listen a little." Jia Zhou said with a serious face, "My lord needs to be careful when dealing with Kezhou. This kind of relationship may become my lord's arm, but it is also very likely that it will become a knife that stabs my lord in the back."
Kezhou, who drifted with the tide, hugged the thigh of anyone with a bigger fist.
It is rare for a state with two counties and beautiful surroundings to be able to avoid the dangers of swordsmanship in such a world.
Jia Zhou didn't say much about the fake emperor, and the two of them just sighed. Then Xu Mu opened Zuo Shiren's letter.
The content was correct. First, there was a rainbow of congratulations, and then based on that alliance, Shuzhou was invited to send troops to help defeat the pseudo-emperor Fang Ru.
Xu Mu had no expression on his face and tore the letter into pieces.
"Zuo Shiren is a little anxious. This kind of reputation is not easy to get." Jia Zhou laughed.
If there is a benefit, there is no harm in sending troops, but Laizhou and Yanzhou are too far apart. If we fight thousands of miles apart, we won't even be able to catch the eggs. Are you kidding me?
…
Ignoring Zuo Shiren's teasing, Xu Mu again focused on the military affairs of Shuzhou. According to the previous plan, after the rice harvest in central Shu was good, it was time to recruit a new army.
The person in charge of the recruitment was Sun Xun, probably the daughter-in-law who had finally become a mother-in-law. She was walking around the training ground with her sword in hand and cursing.
"When I was fighting with the King of Shu, ten cold dogs tried to block me. Hey, I killed eight of them with one blow. The remaining two knelt down and shouted "Daddy" a hundred times before I stopped.
"
Xu Mu rubbed his forehead. As expected of Han Jiu's recommendation, he has almost the same temperament.
According to the previous recruitment method of the Dou family in central Shu, it was roughly one soldier per household for five households. If there was recruitment for war, one more soldier would be sent as a reserve camp or as a civilian.
Xu Mu did not follow this method. Anyone who is young and ambitious can join the army. Of course, all these prerequisites must be considered above food and grass.
The army has not moved yet, so food and grass go first. Food and grass are scarce, and even the civilians can't make up the rations, so why fight?
Moreover, in this way, the possibility of cheating can be eliminated. Instead of the old and the weak, only the young and strong will join the army.
"Long Gong, you go pick up five thousand people. From now on, these five thousand people will be under your command." Xu Mu turned around with a smile, "Don't do the scouting task. You can lead a battalion alone and teach archery.
It’s called Shen Gong Camp.”
Gong Gou, who was nearby, couldn't hide his joy as he listened.
"Thank you boss, no, thank you lord!"
"Go ahead."
"Long Gong, you will also be a general in the future. Keep your body straight."
"Lord, stand up straight!"
Gong Dog is still a bit thin and has a hunched waist, but even so, he holds his head high and strides forward.
For this round of recruitment, after some screening at the training ground, more than 13,000 people were left. Letting Gong Gou lead more than 5,000 people was not a whim. It was Xu Mu who understood that Liangzhou was the leader at the moment.
Strategic goals are very likely to fall into long-term field battles.
If the Liennu Battalion leaves Shuzhou, its shooting power will be greatly reduced.
Therefore, he needs a team of people who are good at shooting. Undoubtedly, the bow dog is the best leader.
"Brother Mu, I am the invincible general. I can do it with just three thousand." Not far away, Si Hu saw Gong Gou ordering troops and ran over quickly.
"I asked my wife last night, and she said that during the war, we will give out steamed buns. If I lead three thousand people, I will give out steamed buns and rice cakes. I am afraid that they will eat too much, so I will take care of the steamed buns while leading the troops."
"Si Hu, what's this mess...Hey, wait!"
Xu Mu suddenly turned his head and looked at Si Hu seriously.
"Brother Hu, could it be that you were there last night?"
Si Hu's eyes began to become evasive. Before Xu Mu could ask any more questions, he hurriedly pulled out his legs and ran forward.
"You are so shameless!" Xu Mu was startled, looking at Si Hu lowering his legs, and cursed hastily.
However, if there is a real fight...it can be considered that his brother's enlightenment education in a certain aspect has been completed.
"Sun Xun, after counting the number of people, we will take a test on the art of war in the sand. Those who can beat you will be brought to the palace."
After all, a group of young generals must be selected as reserve resources for Shuzhou. If this troubled times continues for decades, it will be desolate to think that Yu Wen and Chaoyi, a few old men with old arms and legs, will have to lead troops on an expedition.
…
"An army of more than 10,000 people, and they are all young and strong men, my lord, is not bad." Looking at the military report, Jia Zhou smiled.
"I have taken five thousand with the long bow, and the remaining seven or eight thousand, after practice, I plan to send to reinforce Chao Yi's side."
Although it is said that Shuzhou is peaceful, on the front line outside the country, Chao Yi is still fighting with Liangzhou.
"Lord, I always feel that Sima Xiu is preparing for something." Jia Zhou suddenly frowned, "During the many battles between the two states of Shu and Liang, that Sima Xiu has always taken the initiative to plan wars."
Xu Mu also frowned.
He understood what Jia Zhou meant. Since the capture of Muyun Prefecture, Liang Prefecture had not made any move since they withdrew their troops.
There's something wrong with this.
"Is there any information from the Night Owl Group?"
"It was sent yesterday, but no news was found. The intelligence camp in Liangzhou is targeting the Night Owl Group, so it will inevitably be a hindrance." Jia Zhou paused, "Lord, I have an idea."
"Wenlong, please speak."
"My lord is not only the king of Shu now, but also has another level of identity. He is the chief rudder of the thirty states in the world. Furthermore, the people of Liangzhou are fierce and there should be many heroes. My lord may as well use the rudder.
I ask Xia'er to investigate secretly."
Jia Zhou's words made Xu Mu silent for a moment.
"Wenlong, is it too fast?"
"It's not too fast. My lord, you should understand that you are now the chief rudder of the heroes in the world. Naturally, some people are dissatisfied with you, but most of them, after hearing all the lord's righteous deeds, there is no problem. The lord must take the people-oriented path.
This path is also suitable for the Xiaer Army."
"Li Zhiqiu cannot kill the dynasty. On the contrary, many heroes will put their hope in the lord. The Shangguan said that after he returned, I heard that he had secretly collected food and grass and prepared to transport it to Shuzhou."
"If it succeeds, my lord will probably be the first person in history... to connect the temple with the world."
"But let me say something unpleasant first." Jia Zhou's face darkened, "If one day, my lord takes over the country, all the heroes in the world will be dismissed immediately to avoid becoming too big to lose. Take advantage of the opportunity, but this
If you plant something, just borrow it, there is no need to think about repaying the debt."
"As expected of a poisonous owl..."
Jia Zhou laughed and said, "I know that your lord must have some considerations, and I won't mention it again in the future. But now, my lord wants to deal with Liangzhou, and he really needs to take advantage of the Xia'er Army."
