Chapter 175 Han Heng recognizes the master, why is it so difficult to recruit soldiers?
"Then what are your plans next?"
Zhu Han did not shy away from everyone and just talked to him like this, Xi Zhicai, which involved some secrets. Others were dumbfounded and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads. Xi Zhicai was smart, and he also understood that Zhu Han planned to conquer Han Heng.
The fierce general immediately cooperated and said: "I think Dai County is not bad along the way. How about we put down roots here?"
"Okay, I have this idea, but it won't be easy without a local to help!"
Zhu Han looked at Han Heng with a smile and said pointedly.
"Brother...what do you mean by this?"
Seeing everyone looking at him, Han Heng's face dried up, sweat dripped down his face, and he replied sarcastically.
Han Heng is so regretful now that his intestines are almost green. What are you saying about yourself? When people talk about things, you just say goodbye and leave. You have to stand and listen. This time, you are involved.
.
"It's not interesting! Oh, by the way, Zhicai, I told Sister Zhang before to prepare the money to buy a county governor. Now look at the appearance of this generation of county officials, you should be able to buy one!"
Zhu Han pretended to order: "When the time comes, I will ask Guan Hai to follow you to Luoyang. You will present the four thousand captives to the emperor, and then by the way, tell me about this generation of county governor!"
"I obey!"
Xi Zhicai quickly accepted the order.
"Oh, don't just go there stupidly. Go to Ma Yuanyi or Tang Zhou first and ask them to set up a line for you. It's best to set up a line with that old guy Zhang Rang. By the way, ask that old boy Ji Chou.
How much is Captain Hu Wuyuan worth? If you have enough money, just buy it!"
Zhu Han looked like he was not short of money, as if he was afraid that others would not know that he had just made a huge profit.
"Brother Xian, do you want to serve as the governor of this county?"
Han Heng still couldn't understand Zhu Han's words, he quickly asked in a low voice.
"Haha, that's right, little brother, I also want to help Daijun! Look at this abandoned land, it makes people feel distressed!"
Although Zhu Han had a faint smile on his face, his words made everyone present feel helpless and aggrieved.
"Since my dear brother has a heart, I will help my dear brother no matter what! I wonder if my dear brother is still short of people?"
Han Heng asked with his face close to his face.
"Brother Han, aren't you the guard of Yanmen Pass? What? You don't want to do it anymore?"
Han Heng has spoken so much. If Zhu Han didn't understand anymore, he would have been living in vain for so many years. However, there are some words that the master must say in person, so as not to fall into trouble when the time comes.
Isn’t it about words? It’s just like the position of guard general at Yanmen Gate.
"well!"
Han Heng is not stupid. He has heard the implication of Zhu Han's words a long time ago. Now Han Heng wants to have no soldiers. Even Dapotan Shihuai followed Zhu Han and took advantage. He heard their conversation just now. It can be seen that he
Daijun and Yanmenguan were inevitable, and he was alone now. He didn't dare to offend Zhu Han. If he was killed and used as a military record, it would be a huge loss.
Moreover, since Zhu Han has such financial resources to win the post of Daijun Grand Administrator, and there are not many generals under his command, if he joins the army at this time, he might be entrusted with an important task. After thinking about it, Han Heng directly paid his respects to Zhu Han.
: "If Zhu Junhou still admires my martial arts skills, then I would like to worship Zhu Junhou as my master and encourage him from now on!"
"Okay! With Brother Han helping me, why worry about everything happening?"
Zhu Han didn't hesitate. As soon as Han Heng finished speaking, he immediately pulled Han Heng forward and smiled.
"Han Heng, meet my lord!"
Han Heng smiled bitterly and bowed.
"Haha... today is a double blessing!"
Zhu Han pulled Han Heng and said with a smile: "Let's go back to Yanmen Pass first!"
After the group returned to Yanmen Pass, Han Heng found Zhu Han again and said, "My lord, my subordinates will immediately write to Governor Zhao to resign as the guard of Yanmen Pass, and recommend to Governor Zhao that you, my lord, be the guard of Yanmen Pass. How about that?"
Zhu Han and Xi Zhicai were eating. After listening to Han Heng's words, they looked at each other and burst into laughter.
"My lord, why are you laughing? Doesn't it mean that my lord doesn't want to be the guard of Yanmen Pass?"
Han Heng said in confusion.
"Brother Han, don't be so formal when we brothers meet. Come, sit down, and eat together!"
After Han Heng sat down, Zhu Han smiled and said: "As for the guard of Yanmen Pass! You have to be the guard!"
At present, Zhu Han's position is just a military commander in the Wuyuan School Wei Department, and he can't command more than 500 troops. But when he saw the Xianbei cavalry, he knew that a team of 500 people would be able to defend the pass.
, if it were a field battle with the Xianbei people, the difference in numbers would be too big, and the world was about to be in chaos. Even if Zhang Jiao did not rebel, he was sure that others would rebel. If he wanted to gather strength in an honest way now, he could only
Subdue those who command the army or disperse the people under your control to become generals who command the army.
Han Heng is the guard of Yanmen Pass. Although all the troops and horses under his command have been defeated, he still holds an organization of 500 people. This is an important reason why Zhu Han and Xi Zhicai planned to conquer him. Otherwise, Zhu Han would
How could Han care about Han Heng's life or death, but he definitely couldn't say this to his face.
"My lord, you have confused even the general!"
Han Heng couldn't turn a corner all of a sudden. He raised his hand several times to pick up vegetables, and then put it down again, which showed that he had doubts in his heart.
"You, you! Why can't you understand?"
Zhu Han shook his head and smiled bitterly while explaining patiently: "I am still just a military commander under Ji Chou, and I can only command five hundred troops. If you come under my command, you will be a village commander at most! Our team only has 500 troops.
There is one more person for you, but if you continue to be the guard general of Yanmen Pass, then you can continue to command five hundred troops! The total number of troops on both sides of us is a thousand!"
"That's it, the general understands!"
Only then did Han Heng react, and he quickly promised: "But please rest assured, my lord, the general will definitely hold these five hundred soldiers and horses for my lord to drive!"
"Just understand!"
Zhu Han said with a smile: "After eating, go down and rest quickly. Everyone was very tired last night! Early tomorrow morning, we will go to Gaoliu County to recruit troops!"
The next day, Zhu Han returned to Gaoliu County with some people. After Zhao Wen learned about Zhu Han's achievements, he was immediately shocked. Although Han Heng's troops suffered total losses, this did not prevent him from Zhao Wen.
Have fun.
In the following days, Yanmen's reinforcements were nowhere to be seen. Even from Ji Chou's side, Zhu Han only received a letter. Ji Chou praised Zhu Han's contribution in the letter and then transferred them back.
The team that came to Yanmen Pass for support finally encouraged Zhu Han and asked him to continue to hold on to Yanmen Pass. At the same time, they would report Zhu Han's achievements.
Regarding these, Zhu Han just laughed and forgot about it. He only praised verbally, which would make anyone feel uncomfortable. Instead of going to make a blush with Ji Chou, Zhu Han might as well stay by himself. Gao Liu, recruit his soldiers and sell his horses.
On this day, Zhang Liao and Guan Hai, who were in charge of recruiting troops, found Zhu Han helplessly.
"I said what's going on with you two? I asked you to recruit soldiers. Why are you here?"
Zhu Han was chatting with Zhao Wen at the Yamen to get closer. Suddenly he heard that his second general was looking for him. He immediately laughed and cursed: "Are you trying to be lazy?"
"Lord, it has been three or four days, and there are only about twenty young men and women who have signed up to join the army!"
Zhang Liao smiled bitterly and said, "You have to think of a way! If this continues, we won't be able to recruit enough people for a month!"
"So that's what happened!"
After Zhu Han heard this, he also felt that this problem was quite difficult. If it were in Jizhou, this problem would not be a problem at all, but in Daijun, it really becomes a big problem. As a result, Daijun has a sparse population. From Zhao Wen Kou learned that there are more than 20,000 registered households in Daijun and a population of more than 120,000. Moreover, this is the data from a few years ago. Now it is considered good to have 100,000 people. Yanmen, which is closely related to Daijun, , the two counties of Shanggu have smaller populations, with Yanmen having a maximum of 30,000 to 40,000 people and Shanggu having a maximum of 60,000 to 70,000 people.
In other words, the current total population of the eleven counties in Daijun is only 20,000 to 30,000 more than the population of one county in Guojing County, Anping, Jizhou when Zhu Han was in charge. Even Daijun is like this, let alone Yanmen. Up the valley, the population of those two counties is not as large as that of the passing county.
"We only have about 300 people under our command now. We are busy taking care of the horses, guarding the prisoners of war, and guarding Yanmen Pass! The recruitment of brave soldiers is urgent. I wonder if Brother Zhao can help?"
In fact, Zhu Han had already known about the difficulty in recruiting soldiers. Today he brought Xi Zhicai to Zhao Wen for a chat and a slap in the face. Then Zhang Liao and the others barged into the Yamen to show off to Zhao Wen. Why did this poor scholar talk about recruiting soldiers these days? After the incident, either I couldn't find anyone or I was talking about other things.
"Oh! Dear brother, you don't know something! We really don't have many young people left in Dai County. Why don't you go to Zhuo County and have a look? Zhuo County has a dense population. I guess recruiting these thousand people will not be a big problem. As a brother, I can provide you with guidance and documents so that you can act in Zhuo County! How about it?"
As a local official, Zhao Wen was helpless. They all said that Youzhou's people were tough and fertile, and they were good at producing soldiers, but who knew that Dai County already had ten households and nine rooms with no children?
"After all, there are about 100,000 people in Daijun, right? You can't find any of these thousands of young men? Are you asking me to go to Zhuojun to recruit troops?"
Zhu Han was stunned when he heard this, and said with an ugly face: "Brother Zhao, you are treating me as an outsider!"
"Yes, we stood firm at Yanmen Pass and lost so many brothers. Now we have to recruit hundreds of soldiers and go to Zhuo County. If this spreads out, it will probably chill the hearts of the soldiers under my command!"
Xi Zhicai helped from the side.
"Brother Xian, if you want wine or meat, I can think of something for you, but if you ask for help! I have no choice!"
Zhao Wen explained with a look of embarrassment: "Brother Wei, let me tell you clearly. It's not impossible for you to ask brother Wei to give you a thousand young men, but you have to force them! The soldiers who come like that must be virtuous brothers. You don’t dare to use it either, right?”
"Oh, forget it, I'll go to Zhuo County myself, so I won't trouble Brother Zhao about this! But you have to count the food and wine you mentioned. After it's done, I'll send it to Yanmen Pass to satisfy the greed of the brothers under me!
"
In desperation, Zhu Han had to give up this plan and decided to visit Zhuojun himself.
