Time passed day by day, and since the two brothers Zhou Yu and Zhou Qi began to train strong men, the number of people has decreased sharply until there are only more than 10,000 people, which seems to have reached the standard set at the beginning.

For the training of the two soldiers, the scholars in Xiangyang City were still more panicked at first, and from time to time they sent their families to watch from afar, for fear that those soldiers would suddenly kill and bring ruin to their own families, but when they got the news, they were training soldiers, and those trained soldiers were complaining one by one, but the initial vigilance was put out of the clouds.

"Second sister, now Lord Zhou Yi is laying off soldiers, those are strong men who have been baptized by war, are they taking those people for their own use?" Cai Mao sat on the main seat and looked at Cai Xueqing, who was frowning slightly, and asked in a deep voice.

Cai Xueqing did not reply to Cai Mao's inquiry, but instead frowned slightly and stared at the high-pitched slogans on the camp in the distance, and with every shout, it would shake the hearts of the people in the entire Xiangyang City.

"Those who have been screened out, although they can be said to be eliminated, are still excellent compared to the family, and they can be absorbed but not all of them, do you understand?"

Cai Mao nodded when he heard this, and walked towards the outside of the house without looking back, striving to absorb all those soldiers into the family before those families reacted, and then the strength would be raised to another level, how could it not be happy to think of this.

For Cai Mao's approach, the warriors in Xiangyang City followed suit, after all, they only knew the importance of strength after the attack of the Yellow Turban Army, and if even the most basic troops were uneven, how could they protect their families.

"Your right lieutenant general Zhu Jun asked me to lead my men and horses to Runan to meet with him to encircle and suppress the Yellow Turban Army a month ago, because the grain and grass were not enough to lay off personnel to alleviate it, at this time Lord Zhu Jun has already sent someone to send a second letter, what should I do?" Zhou Yi sat on the main seat of the study, looked at the generals at hand and asked with a frown.

"Father! Since Lord Zhu Jun's repeated requisitions have explained that the war ahead is urgent, we can naturally go to Runan to help the other party now that the grain and grass problem has been solved! As soon as Zhou Qi heard the word Zhu Jun, his eyes suddenly lit up, this is a famous general in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, if he goes to help the other party, it is not easy to gain favor, and when he meets some famous historical generals, he will not be able to complete the first summoning to this world, thinking of this, the corners of Zhou Qi's mouth unconsciously turned up, and he smirked heartlessly.

"Humph!" A cold snort resounded throughout the study, and I saw Zhou Qi shivering, looking at his father with a little embarrassment, and scratching his head embarrassedly, "Father..."

"Go down and reflect!" Zhou Yi glared at Zhou Qi angrily, and then looked at the people around him, obviously waiting for their answer.

"Father! The child has an idea, and he doesn't know whether to talk about it or not! Seeing his younger brother Zhou Qi being criticized by his father, Zhou Yu, who was eager to protect his brother, hurriedly stood up and bowed with his hands into fists, hoping to divert the other party's attention.

"Gong Jin said come and hear it!" Sure enough, when Zhou Yiyan heard this, a pair of eyes like eagles and falcons stared at his eldest son Zhou Yu for a moment.

"Father, I led the troops to leave Luoyang, because my younger brother Haoran thought that the Han Dynasty was now about to set in the West Mountain, so he came out to find a place to develop, preparing for the needs of the Han Dynasty in the future, and now we help the scholars in Xiangyang to resist the Yellow Turban Army, as if becoming the largest force in Xiangyang City, and the original Xiangyang Taishou escaped, and the position of the Taishou is vacant as if your father temporarily took this position, and then used this as a point to slowly encroach on the entire Jingzhou, As for Zhu Jun's recruitment of children, he is willing to lead some people to help his father share his worries! After Zhou Yu finished speaking, he looked around at everyone present, took in all the expressions of the others, and then his eyes fell on Zhou Yi, who was in the first place, waiting for the other party's decision!

"Xiangyang? Gong Jin, do you know that our ancestral land is in Wu County, if we lead the soldiers back to Wu County, we can still become the head of a county! Zhou Yi was a little hesitant about the suggestion of his eldest son Zhou Yu, and he spoke up at the moment.

"Father! Wu County is the place where our clan lives, but Sheng Xian is the Taishou of Wu County at this time, if my father leads the soldiers back like this, it will inevitably be a little unjustifiable, instead of occupying Xiangyang in such a grand place, those scholars also have nothing to say, and we can unite some powerful people to make heavy profits, and then I am afraid that it will not be possible!" Zhou Yu seemed to have known that his father would ask him, and he explained the planned countermeasures in detail, so that everyone was stunned.

Zhou Yiyan rubbed his chin with a pair of powerful hands, and nodded incessantly, obviously satisfied with the suggestion of his eldest son Zhou Yu: "Gong Jin, I don't know if we should unite those scholars?" ”

"Cai, Huang, Xi, Pang, Ma, Kuai!" These six are the big clans in Xiangyang City, and they are also the first-class clans in Jingzhou, if we can unite these few clans, it will be of great benefit to take charge of Jingzhou in the future!

"Cai, Huang, Xi, Pang, Ma, Kuai, why don't you have the surname Zhuge ?" Zhou Qi stood aside and heard the scholars described by his brother, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled, Zhuge Liang, the family of this awesome character, did not enter the scope of his brother's solicitation.

"Host! The Zhuge clan you mentioned is not a big clan in Jingzhou now, so it is normal that it is not known by Zhou Yu! Hua Yin sat on Zhou Qi's shoulder, shaking a pair of white and infinite long legs, and the voice was as crisp as a yellow bird into the other party's ears.

"Since Gongjin is going to Runan to assist Lord Zhu Jun, I don't know how many people to bring?" Zhou Yi asked the second question again, hoping that he could solve his doubts.

"Father and child are ready to lead 3,000 men!" Zhou Yu replied to his father's inquiry neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Three thousand?" Zhou Yiyan's brows furrowed slightly, he was not too satisfied with what the eldest son said, after all, the situation in Runan is not clear now, and if there is any accident with fewer people and horses, it will be a devastating blow.

"Father, now we have just occupied Xiangyang City, the United Shi Clan is a means, and the heavy army deterrence is a safe guarantee, if the child leads the heavy army to leave, how should you deter others, and three thousand words are not too much to say less and not to be despised!" Zhou Yu once again dispelled Zhou Yi's doubts

"Good! In this case, my son should choose to go on this expedition by himself, and after the war begins, he must play the prestige of my Zhou family! With a wave of his hand, Zhou Yi handed over the entire power of the expedition to Zhou Yu... to be continued
