It is true that the knowledge has increased, but with such an unstable force behind it, no one will feel stable. Imagine, after hundreds of years, thousands of years of development, these three counties, it will definitely not be so simple.

Nonsense, if it were simple, the imperial court would have destroyed it countless times.

The atmosphere was dreary.

Seeing that this was not a problem, Gongsun Du said solemnly: "Everyone, I know what you are thinking, but I think that now is not the time to think about this. Moreover, they have been in peace for thousands of years, and they will not easily break the established traditions. ”

Xu Rong, Liu Yi and the others nodded when they heard this, and the dullness on their faces eased.

Gongsun Du relieved himself at this time, looked at Jiao Lu and Tu Yi, and said, "Jiao Lu, Tu Yi, tell me about the information you have gathered." Now only by finding out the details of Liaodong can we determine what to do next! ”

Jiao Lu and Tu Yi nodded, and then talked about the news they had gathered.

The two of them went to Xinchang, Anshi, Wenxian and other three counties, of which Wenxian and Anshi each have about 800 households, while Xinchang only has more than 600 households, of which the young and strong should be one to two percent. The surrounding villages and towns and three counties add up to about 1,000 households, and nearly 30% of them are young and strong.

Gongsun Dumo calculated that in the entire Liaodong, except for the three counties of Dongqi and Zhuzhu, as well as two or three small counties with a population of less than 500 households, the rest of the counties added up to less than 9,000 households, and the young and strong were only about 20%, that is, about one or two thousand.

Counting up, the entire Liaodong County does not have as many people as many counties. You must know that many relatively large counties even have more than 10,000 households. That's really ......

The situation is dire!

Gongsun Du, Xu Rong, Liu Yi, and Yang Yi all felt very stressed, and their faces were very serious, while Jiao Lu and Tu Yi felt that the atmosphere was not right, and closed their mouths tightly, for fear that they would attract everyone's attention because they showed the slightest movement.

Call~

After a long time, Gongsun Du slowly exhaled a breath, and said slowly: "Everyone, I know that the situation is very serious now, and it can even be said that even if we recruit all the young people of the right age, there are only one or two thousand people, and it is difficult to resist the invasion of pills. Moreover, after we gather the young and strong, the cultivated land will face no one to cultivate, resulting in a bad situation where countless people will not be able to eat in the coming year. ”

"But are we just going to do nothing?"

"Is it just that what was agreed not so long ago has been abandoned?"

Gongsun Du's voice got higher and higher, and finally he even roared-

"No, never, even if it is death in the end, I will never give up! Never give up! ”

The high voice was full of categorical certainty, which moved Xu Rong and the others in horror, but they were not ashamed, because they had not thought about retreating, but they were just shocked by the current situation.

Gongsun Du didn't let them go, calmed down a little because of the ups and downs in his chest because of the roar, and said coldly: "What if...... None of you who want to quit should get out of here now, immediately, immediately, and never be in my sight. ”

After speaking, Gongsun Du's gaze moved to the front, and no one looked at him.

"I am willing to follow the general to protect the people and defend against foreign races!" Yang Yi's reaction turned out to be the fastest and the most crisp, directly bowing down on one knee. But fortunately, he still remembered what Liu Yi said before, and he didn't directly worship Gongsun Du.

With a beginning, there will naturally be followers.

Jiao Lu and Tu Yi also knelt down on one knee and said in unison: "A certain is also willing to follow the general to protect the people and resist foreign races!" ”

"I am willing to follow the general to protect the people and defend against foreign races! No regrets until death! Liu Yi only hesitated for a moment, and also bowed, but he looked more serious, as if he regarded this as worshipping the Lord.

Xu Rong's gaze at Liu Yi and the four of them changed a little, although he felt that Liu Yi and Yang Yi were only second-rate martial arts, unpopular commanders, and average ability, as for Jiao Lu and Tu Yi, they were not more than Tun Changer, but he felt a different kind of atmosphere.

After thinking about it, Xu Rong didn't understand what it was, but just arched his hand and said: "I am also willing to contribute to the restoration of peace in Liaodong and resist the plundering alien race." ”

The five people are almost distinctly divided into two factions.

Gongsun Du sighed in his heart: Is Xu Rong still going to walk on the old road of history? Or is history really irrevocable? Isn't it a waste of what I've done?

Because of Xu Rong's words, Gongsun Du fell into contemplation and despair.

The room was silent for a while, and it was strangely calm.

Suddenly, Gongsun Du remembered the original history, he should have worshiped Gongsun Cheng as his father-in-law at this time, embarked on the road of filial piety and honesty, and became an official in Xuansu, but now he is in Liaodong and is preparing to protect Liaodong.

"History is not static, it can be changed!" Gongsun Du broke the magic barrier in his heart, the magic barrier since he wore it again, and-

"I still have a system, it must be changed, the system is not at all what this era can have, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely can change history!"

Gongsun Du regained his confidence and no longer bothered with Xu Rong's problems. Immediately, he smiled at Xu Rong first, and then helped Liu Yi, Yang Yi, Jiao Lu, and Tu Yi one by one.

"In the future, we will work together to fight against foreign races, I hope you will not be intimidated by difficulties again, I believe that as long as we do our best, we will be able to protect the peace of Liaodong!"

Gongsun Du's words were sonorous and powerful, stirring up the blood that had just calmed down in the chests of Xu Rong and the others, and they all responded loudly: "Work together to fight against foreign races and protect the peace of Liaodong!" ”

"Good!" Gongsun Du stroked his palms and smiled, "Now let's talk about how many Xiangyong should be recruited for training without attracting the attention of Maruki and other alien races." ”

Yang Yi said with a big grin: "Naturally, the more the better." ”

Gongsun Du didn't bother to pay attention to him, judging from the recent contact, he already understood that Yangyi was a miniature version of Zhang Fei (Zhang Fei in this book is mainly based on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms), and his opinions were just listened to, and there was no need to take them into account.

Gongsun Du set his sights on Liu Yi and Xu Rong, and he believed that the two would give him a suitable advice.

Sure enough, Liu Yi said: "Judging from the current situation in Liaodong, more will not only arouse the vigilance of Goguryeo and other alien races, but also affect farming. Therefore, it is believed that it is best to implement the strategy of elite soldiers, select the best village warriors, and conduct the most severe training. ”

After speaking, he glanced at Xu Rong, as if he was provoking him. In fact, he was unhappy that Xu Rong was just giving his hand before, instead of bowing down, why do you want to be so special, right!

Xu Rong didn't pay attention to the meaning in his eyes, but looked at Liu Yi in surprise, as if he knew him for the first time.

"Humph!" Liu Yi felt very unhappy with Xu Rong's eyes, even though he knew that he was better than himself, he still snorted coldly and expressed his dissatisfaction.

Gongsun Du didn't hear Liu Yi's snort, but said earnestly to Xu Rong: "Tingfang, I know that your Xu family ancestors have some backgrounds, although I don't know how big they are, but I believe that you must be very capable." How about you talk about your thoughts? ”

Xu Rong didn't expect Gongsun Du to know about his ancestor, but when he thought that their relationship between the Xu family and the Gongsun family was quite good, maybe his father, who had died in battle, mentioned it to Gongsun Yan, and then Gongsun Yan vaguely mentioned it to Gongsun Du, so he didn't care.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that his father hadn't mentioned it to any outsiders, including Gongsun Du's father, and the reason why Gongsun Du knew it was just that he had seen a little secret historical information and a little speculation as Li Yuanba back then.

Xu Rong nodded at Gongsun Du, shook his head again, and said, "Judging from the current situation, recruiting a song of people is the limit. Then he said no more.

Liu Yi was very dissatisfied with this, but was stopped by Gongsun Du, who had expected it, and he nodded thoughtfully and said, "Okay, just recruit a song, four hundred people." ”

"Now, let me talk about how many people are recruited in each county......
