"Recruiting, recruiting?"

Li Xuefeng had been walking around in front of me for half an hour, muttering this sentence over and over again.

Chen Qinglong smiled and picked up a cup of tea, put it to his mouth and sipped it.

I sat in the lobby of the brand-new General's Mansion, holding a few skewers of mutton skewers in my hands, and I didn't look at Li Xuefeng, only opened my mouth and chewed.

Wu Youliang stared at the roster in his hand, but kept wiping the beads of sweat on his forehead.

I know they all have a problem with my decision.

After all, there are now 15,000 troops in the pass, which is more than twice the total strength of the Taoyuan Army in the past.

After looking at the list of refugees counted in Doha and asking Wu Youliang about the number of troops in various places that Wu Youliang had gathered, I made a decisive decision.

There are more than 300,000 refugees and counting.

The number of defeated troops at the pass has exceeded 20,000, and it is still increasing.

The current 15,000 troops in the pass include the original 5,000 defenders of the pass, the 5,000 people's army gathered in various villages, and the more than 5,000 people of the Green Forest Army convened by Chen Qinglong.

What is surprising is that there are nearly 2,000 people in the Green Forest Army who came to vote with horses, and Lu Feisha, the commander of the horse army who has just returned, and Lin Feihu, the deputy commander of the capital army, actually selected 1,000 cavalry troops that meet the requirements of the army, so that the total number of horse troops has reached nearly 4,000.

The 4,000 horse army was divided into two battalions, one led by Lu Feisha and one battalion each by Lin Feihu, which were called Feisha Battalion and Feihu Battalion respectively.

The number of infantry troops has now reached 11,000, and after Chen Qinglong and Wu Youliang discussed, these 11,000 people were divided into four battalions. Among them, Wu Youliang led a battalion of 3,000 people, called the Taoshan Battalion. Baili River led a battalion of 3,000 people, called the Taozhi Battalion. Yang Youti led a battalion of 3,000 people, called the Taogan Battalion.

The remaining 2,000 people were all experts in the green forests of Qingfeng City, serving as a battalion, led by Chen Qinglong himself.

Li Xuefeng was given the position of a clerk by me, responsible for grain transfer and correspondence, anyway, according to Li Ersan's small report, his eldest brother had been the master of the General's Mansion in Qianyuan City before, and he was a cultural person, so of course he should be the secretary.

This is also the reason why he is running away now, this 11,000 food and clothing is enough for him to worry about, and if he increases his troops, he is worried that the little stock in Taoyuan Town will be consumed by these centaurs without the need for the Protoss.

"General Tao has arrived!"

The soldier at the door shouted at the top of his voice.

I smiled and said, "Everyone, sit down, the general is here, let him decide this matter." ”

Tao Zhiran smiled and shook his hands and walked in, the golden eagle followed behind, seeing this formation, he hurriedly stopped outside the door, with his back to the lobby, and the one who stood was meticulous.

I looked at the few people sitting on the left and right, and said to Li Xuefeng: "Don't give up your seat yet, you don't have the eyesight to see." ”

Li Xuefeng hurriedly stood up, but did not forget to glare at me fiercely.

I smiled and said to Tao Zhiran: "General Tao, the general's mansion is a handchair, and it is difficult to give way to the general, so I have to sit under the hall of the general." ”

Tao Zhiran smiled, sat down under the hall, crossed Erlang's legs and sat down: "Don't bully me for not reading much, this general's hall is the rules of Yiyantang, I still understand it." ”

I smiled and said, "It's good that the general understands, long live understanding!"

Tao Zhiran said with a smile: "I heard that General Xu is going to recruit troops?

I smiled and said, "In his position, the current situation in Qingfeng City is very bad." ”

The situation in Breeze City is indeed not good.

Among the routs gathered by Wu Youliang, the rout of the Seventeen Towns has been discovered, which shows that this time the Protoss march is probably not as simple as fighting the Grass Valley.

After all, in front of Qingfeng City, there were only four towns facing Wolong Mountain, and after defeating the defenders of the four towns, the Protoss did not quickly surround and attack Qingfeng City as before, taking the opportunity to plunder the four towns, but continued to attack the rest of the towns with their combined forces, so what does that mean?

"It shows that this time the Protoss may spend the winter in the breeze. ”

Tao Zhiran said leisurely, picked up the teacup brought by Li Xuefeng, blew the tea foam, took a sip, put down the teacup again, and only stared at me.

"Maybe there will be spring, summer, and autumn, until everyone gets used to their presence, and then they will not leave. ”

I said with a smile, dropping the bare skewers on the table, picking up a rag and wiping my hands.

"But does it have anything to do with how many soldiers you want?"

Tao Zhiran continued to say with a smile.

"I am General Han Xin, the more the merrier. ”

I said with a smile.

Tao Zhiran stood up and said with a smile: "Yes." ”

After saying that, he threw me a letter, turned and walked out.

When he walked to the door and saw the straight golden eagle standing, he seemed to remember something, turned around and said, "This old family happened to be left to you, why do you ask him yourself." ”

After saying that, he left.

I picked up the letter, only to see that it was written "General Qingfeng personally opened".

It turns out that this dead old man is the general of Qingfeng, and he can be named after Qingfeng, which means that this old guy's previous status in the Qingfeng army should be the first person.

When I opened the letter, I saw that it was written on my head: Brother Yoyo.

I couldn't help but laugh dumbly, I've been here for half a year, and I have a general understanding of the writing rules of the Three Realms. Most of the letters are commensurate with the words, but the words are long and double-stacked, which really subverts my previous perception of the history of China.

Then look down, the first paragraph, but some half-literate and half-white greetings, I shook my head when I saw it, it seems that the cultural level of this letter writer is similar to that of a dead old man.

However, the second paragraph forced me to face it squarely.

"Brother from the seal into the peach source, naturally happy and tight, but the brothers, but the brothers, but whining and mourning! Now the city lord has not yet come out of the customs, and in the past two months, there is not a single word to be handed out, we have to guess and act, scratching our ears and cheeks every day, and we are miserable. ”

I smiled, but this paragraph confirmed Miss Tao's words, this city lord really didn't care about business, and only cared about retreat and cultivation.

It's just that Tao Linzhi's words about the cabinet's false transmission of the holy decree are probably false. It can be seen from this passage that in the past, the city lord still had guiding opinions on some major matters.

Continuing to look down, the third paragraph talks about the current situation.

"Now that the God Clan is powerful, the four towns in front of the mountain have been lost, and the enemy army still hasn't stopped, I'm afraid it will be difficult to be good this time. Brother knows that my Qingfeng army is bad, and he is barely trying to support it at present, and the so-called precarious!

Now after the cabinet discussion, and the ministries collegiate, now the city lord order, order Taoyuan soldiers out of Taoshan, in order to solve the disaster of the wind.

In order to show sincerity, the restriction of 5,000 personnel in the Taoyuan Army was lifted. The soldiers and horses of each town, the brother can be transferred at will, and the money and food spent are paid by the towns, and the soldier charm has been sent with the letter.

Under the nest, there are eggs, the breeze does not exist, and the peach source does not exist.

Chen Gongjin bowed again!"

Closing the letter, I picked up the envelope and poured it up, and sure enough, a long piece of iron fell out.

When I picked up the iron piece, I saw two big characters written on the front: "Soldier Talisman". Flip it over, and there is a line of small print on the back: All towns obey orders and must not disobey!

Putting the talisman on the table, I handed the letter to Chen Qinglong and said, "Brother Chen and Brother Li should take a look." ”

Turning my head to look at the straight golden eagle standing at the door, still standing with his back to me, I smiled and exclaimed, "Brother Golden Eagle, please come in." ”

The golden eagle hurriedly turned around and walked in, but knelt down on one knee and said, "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, see General Xu." ”

I smiled and said, "Brother Jin is polite, please take a seat." ”

The golden eagle stood up, clasped his hands into fists and said: "The Ministry of Internal Affairs is stationed in Taoyuan to monitor, and the golden eagle will see General Xu." ”

"Oh?"

I asked, somewhat surprised, "Ministry of Internal Affairs surveillance?"

Jin Diao said with some embarrassment: "Actually, the cabinet sent to Taoyuan to monitor Taoyuan's movements, after all, General Tao is the Marquis of Taoyuan, and he has been in the army for a long time, and there must be someone to check and balance Taoyuan for Qingfeng." ”

"Oh"

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, sure enough, there was a reason why this dead old man was obsessed with business.

After thinking about it, I asked again: "Then Tao Lao sent Brother Jin to me, I don't know if there is any explanation?"

The golden eagle's face turned pale, and he said: "The Internal Affairs Office has sent surveillance in each town, and its main responsibility is to ensure the smooth flow of Qingfeng City's government and military orders. ”

I see, my heart is clear.

This damn old man is really thoughtful.

Wait, Nima, this damned old man.

I stood up and shouted to the man at the door, "Prepare the horses." ”

Li Xuefeng was startled and said, "What are you doing?"

I said angrily, "Go and chase Tao Zhiran." ”

Chen Qinglong held the letter in one hand, but held his forehead in the other hand and laughed: "Yes, yes, yes, go and open the conditions, this black pot is back, hahaha!"

......

......

When I arrived at the bazaar, Tao Wu stood solemnly on the side of the road, and when he saw me, he hurriedly bowed down and said, "General Xu, the general has been waiting in Chaoyang Temple for a long time. ”

I turned my horse's head angrily, and rushed all the way to the main hall along the uphill avenue, and saw in the open-air tea room from a distance, Tao Zhiran was lying on my special recliner with a golden knife, and was enjoying tea.

I walked to the tea room, lay down on Li Xuefeng's recliner, reached out to lift the sand cho, and poured myself a cup of tea.

I looked at a few broad beans on the table, touched them unceremoniously, and threw them into my mouth, not to mention, fried broad beans, which tasted pretty good.

The dead old man took out a few broad beans from his bag and threw them into his mouth, chewing them rattling.

I stared at the sky and didn't say a word.

Tao Zhiran said with a smile: "Say, what conditions?"

I said hatefully, "I haven't thought about it yet." ”

Tao Zhiran poked his head with a smile and said, "Why don't I give Tao Linzhi to you as a wife, she has a gentle personality and is calculating, much stronger than Yulara." ”

I turned my head to look at him and said, "Why do you look like a father?

Tao Zhiran shrugged his shoulders and said: "Anyway, she is devoted to you, whether I give it to you or not, it will be yours in the future, just like this peach source, now that you are so messed up, it will not be all yours in the future." ”

I rubbed my forehead helplessly, and said: "Sooner or later, I will have to travel to the two realms of immortals and gods, and I will build this place well, but I want to have a base camp, besides, I still want to find a way back to the human world." ”

Tao Zhiran said with a smile: "That's easy to do." ”

I wondered, "What's going on?"

Tao Zhiran said: "If you help me get this divine punishment, I will guarantee you to cultivate immortals!"

"What?"

I asked, surprised.

"Without the recommendation of the Qingfeng City Lord, do you want to go to the Immortal Realm?"

Tao Zhiran laughed.

"This ......"

Seeing that I was hesitant, Tao Zhiran added again: "I'll let you turn the Blood Demon Gang into a Blood Demon Army and lead a town by yourself." Just this Chaoyang Temple, until the boundary monument of Wolong Mountain. ”

"Hiss"

I gasped.

This old boy's handwriting is a little bigger!

You must know that although Taoyuan is large, as soon as Chaoyang Temple is divided, it will almost divide Taoyuan by one-third, plus the borderless land of Wolong Mountain, this new town is probably about the same size as the magic circle of Taoyuan Town.
