The steps Jushou had just taken were frozen in place, and he turned his head with a strange expression on his face. Liu Xin herself felt embarrassed. She would leave everything to Jushou first, and then leave it to him when he felt comfortable.
Others have assigned him a new task. Isn't it a little too cruel to do so?
However, Liu Xin had no choice but to let his subordinates have too few talents? He simply did not look at Ju Shou's face and said shamelessly: "My lord, this matter is very important. I don't trust it if it is left to others. I can only ask you to take action."
"In fact, he didn't even think about it. Every time he gave Jushou something to do, which one was unimportant?
When Jushou heard this, he was indeed fooled and said seriously: "Please give me your orders, my lord, I will definitely fulfill my mission!"
Liu Xin smiled and said: "Gongyu, I know you won't refuse. In fact, it's not a big deal. I just want to open a shop and ask you to be a big shopkeeper."
Jushou was stunned: "This, this..." But he couldn't help but murmur in his heart, how could I not do as he expected? He actually asked me to be the shopkeeper.
Liu Xin couldn't help laughing when she saw his expression: "My lord, this shop is different from ordinary shops. This shop specializes in stationery supplies. In addition to pens, inks, and inkstones, all the paper produced by Kongwen Paper Factory is also made by
It is sold exclusively. I have already thought of the name of the store, it is called Moxiangzhai. Do you know why I opened this store?"
Jushou said angrily: "I don't know."
Liu Xin's face became serious and she said: "You should know about the usage chapter of "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu?"
Jushou replied puzzled: "Of course this subordinate knows. Sun Tzu said: Anyone who raises an army of one hundred thousand and marches for thousands of miles at the expense of the people and the support of the public family costs thousands of gold a day; there is turmoil inside and outside, and he is lazy on the road, and he can't do anything.
Ten thousand families have stayed together for several years to fight for victory in one day..."
Liu Xin hurriedly stopped him and said: "No need to memorize it, no need to memorize it. I just want to set up a secret espionage organization to be responsible for spying, collecting and analyzing all kinds of intelligence. From now on, you will be fully responsible for this secret espionage organization."
Jushou asked in confusion: "What does that have to do with Mo Xiangzhai?"
Liu Xin pointed to the paper on the table and said: "Moxiangzhai specializes in office supplies. Once this kind of paper is launched, it will definitely be very popular. By then, it will be able to smoothly open branches all over the country, and at the same time it will also generate financial resources.
Gungun. And this Moxiangzhai can become an important stronghold of the secret espionage organization and provide financial support to the secret espionage organization. So this real big shopkeeper can only be played by you hiding behind the scenes."
Jushu finally understood what Liu Xin meant, thought about it for a long time, and finally agreed. Liu Xin was very happy because he knew that Jushu was not only a very serious person in his work, but also a very loyal person. Such an organization was entrusted to him.
It is the most reassuring.
Jushou quickly assumed his new role and discussed many details with Liu Xin, saying: "Moxiangzhai is in the open and can only be used to collect and transmit information. It cannot take the initiative to spy on intelligence. The secret spy organization still needs to
Established separately.”
As long as Liu Xin agreed to take over the job, he would naturally agree to everything. In order to facilitate the operation, he would also entrust Jingzhou's finances to him.
After explaining this matter, Liu Xin, who was full of energy, hurried to the military camp. There were too many things that needed to be dealt with some time ago. He basically had no involvement in the army, but if he wanted to fight for the world, he couldn't do it without a strong army.
Arrived.
The military camp is located in the southern suburbs of Xiangyang City. There are 10,000 soldiers stationed here. They are all new soldiers recruited by Liu Xin after arriving in Xiangyang. Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun are responsible for training, while Dian Wei and Xu Chu are still responsible for training the Feihu guards.
Flags were fluttering on the school grounds, drums were beating loudly, and people were shouting. The scene was very spectacular. Under the command of Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, the soldiers demonstrated to Liu Xin the tactics of sword and shield soldiers, spearmen, archers, and several other tactics.
A simple formation. Most of these recruits had participated in the battle to recapture Nanyang, and they all understood the cruelty of the battlefield. After rigorous training by Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, their energy and spirit were completely renewed.
Liu Xin frowned and said from the bottom of his heart that he was still satisfied with the performance of these young soldiers, but he still had no confidence in how much role such an army could play in the future struggle for hegemony. The number was small, and
Basically they are infantry.
After watching for a while, Liu Xin turned to Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun and said: "You must continue to pay close attention to the training of the army. In addition to basic combat skills, there are still several tasks for you. The first is to try to train a
To build a powerful cavalry, secondly, it is not easy to purchase horses in the Jingzhou area. You also need to consider the tactics of infantry to restrain the cavalry. Thirdly, you need to select a group of soldiers with good physical fitness and strong martial arts to form a special force. As for how to do it specifically
, you should use your brains and come up with a charter."
These are some urgent matters that Liu Xin has summed up after pondering over the past few days. To be honest, it’s pretty good that Liu Xin can come up with these three points. As for how to do it specifically, Liu Xin really doesn’t know, because let alone ancient times.
He knew nothing about military training methods, even modern military training.
Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun looked at each other and scratched their heads together, both with embarrassed expressions on their faces.
Xu Chu looked at the two of them and said with a big grin: "Fortunately, I was not asked to come to the military camp. Otherwise, even if I didn't sleep for three days and three nights, there would be nothing I could do. Hahaha..."
Seeing him gloating about his misfortune, Liu Xin couldn't help but said: "Why are you so proud? Mr. Yuan Hao recently received a letter saying that there are often bandits making trouble in Changsha, and he has no capable generals to deal with it. You go back and clean up."
, take a thousand people to Changsha to help Mr. Yuan Hao."
Xu Chu pouted with a reluctant look on his face, but he was secretly happy in his heart, hehe, now there is finally a battle to fight.
Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun laughed when they saw Xu Chu's funny look, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed for a while.
Zhao Yun said to Liu Xin: "Brother, after the fall of Wancheng, a group of former Nanyang defenders retreated to Xiangyang, with about three thousand people. These people were also officers and soldiers, but their military discipline was lax and their training was lax. They often harassed the people and caused trouble.
In the countryside, please tell me, brother, have you disbanded all these people?"
Liu Xin asked strangely: "Didn't this army be handed over to Kuai Liang and incorporated into the Xiangyang Army?"
Zhao Yun said: "Brother doesn't know something. Mr. Kuai can't command these soldiers at all. He is in a dilemma."
Liu Xin frowned and asked again: "Are there no officials to restrain them?"
Zhang Fei said in a rough voice: "Most of the officers fell into the hands of thieves when the city was broken. There are still two captains left among these soldiers. Yesterday I went to see their military camp. One of them was very drunk and lay unconscious in the camp.
Regarding personnel matters, the other one has long since disappeared."
When Liu Xin heard this, he said angrily: "That's not bad! Dian Wei, come with me and take a look."
The station of the defeated army in Nanyang was only two or three miles away and would arrive in a short while. Liu Xin walked into the military camp and saw that the whole camp was in chaos. The soldiers were not practicing and were wandering around in twos and threes. Many of them smelled of alcohol.
There was not even a sentinel anywhere. Liu Xin was unhappy and said to the bodyguard beside him: "Go and find Kuai Liang."
Kuai Liang hurried over and walked up to Liu Xin. Seeing his unkind expression, he said uneasily: "My lord, this Nanyang defeated army is unruly. All the captains sent by their subordinates have been driven out. Now more
He is lawless and has done many illegal things."
Liu Xin glanced at him coldly and said: "Zirou, you are more than kind but not majestic. But it has been more than a month since these defeated troops gathered together. If you don't strictly manage them, you are being unkind to the people of Xiangyang!"
"
Kuai Liang was sweating like rain, and said with a red face: "Back to my lord, my subordinates also sent people to investigate secretly. They have learned the illegal facts of more than 20 people. These defeated troops are all in a group. I am worried that if they arrest them rashly, they will
It provoked a mutiny, so I didn't dare to move lightly."
Liu Xin sneered: "Huh, hug together? When facing the Yellow Turban bandits, they didn't hug together. They bullied the common people but they hugged together. How can those more than twenty people be in this military camp?"
Kuai Liang quickly replied: "These people seem to be aware of it and have been hiding in the camp recently."
Liu Xin turned to Dian Wei and said: "When evil comes, beat the drums and mobilize the troops!"
After the three-way drum sounded, the defeated soldiers in the camp slowly walked to the center of the military camp. On the general stand, Liu Xin looked down coldly, focusing on the less than two thousand soldiers in the center, and he said in a deep voice
Two words: "Get someone!"
Following the instructions of Kuai Liang's men, the Feihu guards fiercely pounced on the team, and within a short time, eighteen soldiers were escorted out. Another group of guards had also dragged a group of soldiers over from the camp.
Most of the people were still hungover, and Kuai Liang's men pointed out nine more people among them.
Liu Xin gritted her teeth and burst out two words: "Behead them all!"
The crowd below made a commotion, and one person suddenly shouted loudly: "This is unfair. We did not die at the hands of the Yellow Turbans, but we have to die at the hands of our own people."
Liu Xin shouted sternly: "You did not die at the hands of the Yellow Turbans, but you came to harm your own people. You are worse than the Yellow Turbans! Kill them!"
Where the sword flashed, twenty-seven heads soared into the sky, pointing down the stage, and blood spilled all over the floor.
Liu Xin glanced at the group of soldiers who were still drunk and collapsed on the ground, and ordered his guards: "Pour them all awake."
These Nanyang soldiers did not expect Liu Xin to strike quickly and cruelly, and they were all suppressed at once, and there was a sudden silence in the military camp.
Liu Xin cleared her throat and said loudly: "Since you are soldiers of the Han Dynasty, you must know your mission! Your mission is not only to protect your home and country, but also to protect the safety of the people!"
Liu Xin pointed to the twenty-seven headless corpses on the ground and said: "These people are committing lawlessness and deserve to die! You have lax military discipline and will be punished! From today on, everyone must help the people around you every day.
four hours
Volunteers can work for fifteen consecutive days, carrying water, chopping firewood, transplanting rice seedlings, and weeding. Those who are drunk and those who leave the military camp without authorization will receive an additional ten days each! I heard that there are no officers in your camp, only two
