Sitting on the throne of Taishou in Shouchun City, Zhou Yukun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, looking at the stack of bamboo slips piled up high next to him, he felt a sense of relief.

Finally, today I finally finished all the official business!

However, when he saw Wei Chu on the other desk next to him, who was still tirelessly watching the bamboo slips, he couldn't help but admire. To be honest, he knew that he was not the material to deal with this kind of thing, if it weren't for the fact that he had found Wei Chu in Shouchun City in the past two days, he would probably be even more tired.

But Wei Chu is different, although the two of them are very similar in their styles, but when it comes to really doing things, Wei Chu's ability to do things is much higher than him, and the workload of one person is at least two Zhou Yukun's.

In the past few days, the two have temporarily stopped the investigation of Zhu Chengrui in reality. After all, Zhu Chengrui is far away in Tiangang City in the north, even if they want to do something, they can't reach it! So, the two put a qiē plan in their dreams.

First of all, Zhou Yukun has learned the fact that Zhu Chengrui is a Star Selector, and his father Zhu Hong is also a Star Chooser, and he also has a lot of fame in the dream world. Because he is now the boss of Yangzhou, he is in charge of 16 counties of Yangzhou. Of course, there are only fifteen now, because one of them has been snatched away by Zhou Yukun!

Then, whether Zhou Yukun was intentional or unintentional at that time, the Liangzi with Zhu Hong had already been concluded. I believe that it won't be long before Zhu Hong will send people to conquer Zhou Yukun and regain his own territory.

Therefore, by chance, Zhou Yukun and Zhu Hong are now in the same situation. Whether it is to investigate Sima Hui in Yangzhou or to bring Zhu Chengrui to justice, it is inevitable to clash with Zhu Hong and others.

In this way, Zhou Yukun and Wei Chu discussed that they should seize the time to consolidate their forces in Shouchun City, and at least have the strength to resist the opponent's attack.

After searching in Shouchun City for the past few days, Zhou Yukun didn't get any news of Sima Hui at all, so he could only shift all his attention to strengthening the army first. Due to the large-scale plundering of Shouchun City by the Yellow Turban Army before, not only most of the garrisons in the city were killed, but even more than half of the granaries were robbed. If it weren't for their limited manpower, they would probably have to empty the granary.

It is no wonder that when he first came to Shouchun City, Zhou Yukun saw that most of the people in the city could only survive by distributing food by Taishou.

After knowing this news, Wei Chu thought of a way, anyway, there is not much food left in the granary now, so it is better to fight to the death. He mentioned that Zhou Yukun had posted a notice in the city that the whole county would be recruited, and as long as every adult male came to join the army, a large amount of food would be distributed to them, which would be enough for the whole family to eat.

Of course, Wei Chu knew that this method was only to tear down the east wall and make up for the west wall, but after all, the west wall was even more in crisis now, so he could only do this. What's more, according to Wei Chu's plan, he was ready to make a desperate bet to fight to feed the war. As long as a large number of troops are formed first, they can relieve the tension in Shouchun by robbing other counties in Yangzhou.

For this plan, Zhou Yukun thought about it for a long time, and then nodded in agreement. Because he knew that this was an extraordinary time, and he could only do this extraordinary way, otherwise, he might be directly crushed to death by Zhu Hong's army.

"Report !!"

A loud shout made Zhou Yukun ...... from laziness Ah, no, it's awakening from contemplation. He watched a strong man run in from outside the lobby and hurriedly asked, "How is it, how is the recruitment situation today?" ”

The guards looked happy, and replied in a loud voice: "Lord Taishou, as soon as your notice was issued, the people in the city were very excited, and the number of people who signed up to join the army was innumerable, and the queue arrived at the city gate. ”

Zhou Yukun's expression on his face eased, and he couldn't help but be happy: "In this way, do you have any specific statistics?" ”

"Yes." As he spoke, the guard took out a roll of bamboo slips from behind him and said, "In just three hours this morning, 1,362 people have been recruited. Judging from the villain, there will be almost 3,000 people a day today. ”

Zhou Yukun nodded, this number is reasonable. Of course, the number of 3,000 people sounds very scary, and it seems to be comparable to the number of Du Yong's army at the beginning. But Zhou Yukun knows that the two are far different.

Because these 3,000 soldiers are just a group of ordinary people, compared to Du Yong's well-trained 3,000 people, they are simply weak. What's more, these 3,000 people are all rushing to distribute food, and the physical qualities of these people must be uneven, and not all of them can go to the frontal battlefield. In this way, out of these 3,000 people, it is already very happy that 1,000 people can be used.

After letting this guard retreat, Zhou Yukun set his eyes on Wei Chu: "In my opinion, the three-day conscription can reach about six or seven thousand people in general, and as for the really good soldiers, it is already very good to have two thousand." Alas, after all, the time is too tight, otherwise many people can be recruited from the subordinate counties. ”

Who knew that Wei Chu shook his head and denied: "No, I think these people are enough." If you think about it, we only have the territory of this one county, but he Zhuhong has one state. If you only want to fight them by numbers, we can't beat them. Therefore, we have to use a group of elite divisions to catch them off guard. ”

Zhou Yukun smiled bitterly: "What you said is simple, how much time do you think we can have to train a group of elite teachers?" It stands to reason that Zhu Hong's army is likely to fight in these ten days, is it enough? ”

"Of course, if it were a normal situation, there would certainly not be enough time. But we don't need to be too harsh, as long as the army is more elite than theirs. Moreover, you must know that elite divisions are not only available for training, as long as we can place some veterans in the recruit ranks, we will be able to quickly adapt the recruits to the status of soldiers. After that, coupled with the overall strategy of those of us who are commanders, it is not difficult to build an elite division. Wei Chu said eloquently.

Zhou Yukun couldn't help but hit him: "Veteran? Regardless of how powerful the veterans before Shouchun City were, but now their number is not even two hundred, how can they use it! ”

"I don't mean them." Wei Chu waved his hand: "I heard that you have held some positions under Du Yong's command before, what do you think of his soldiers?" ”

Zhou Yukun was slightly stunned, and subconsciously replied: "Of course it is amazing, those soldiers summoned by the Yellow Turban Army are not opponents at all" Speaking ......of this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he suddenly clapped his hands: "Ah, I understand, did you ask me to go to Du Yong to borrow soldiers?" ”

"Yes, that's what it means. However, I didn't let you run over so recklessly, you must know that you are no longer his subordinate, and his relationship with you is very average. Why should you ask him to help you send troops? ”

The expression on Zhou Yukun's face froze, and after taking a deep breath, he spoke: "I know him, if I promise to share some benefits with him, he will definitely not refuse." Hmph, his ambition is too obvious! ”

Wei Chu nodded slightly, and slowly stood up: "Okay, it's decided." However, this time it was not you who sent you as an emissary, but me! ”
