Chapter 474: Recruitment?

"Who is rare?" The woman looked at the camp in the distance, and suddenly asked curiously, "Who are you?" Look at your bearing, you are not like ordinary farmers. ”

"Ordinary farmers won't be here." Chen Mo smiled: "Before asking someone else's name, do you want to tell me where you come from?" ”

"My surname is Zhou, a native of Lujiang, and I came here to visit relatives." The woman said briskly.

"Zhou?" Chen Mo glanced at the woman and said, "Now that the situation between Jiangdong and the imperial court is tense, the little lady's family is really relieved to visit relatives at this time." ”

"What's not to worry about? My martial arts are difficult for ordinary people to get close to, and my guards, don't look at women, all of them are athletic, not inferior to men. The woman said proudly.

"Jiangdong women, are they all as unrestrained as you?" Chen Mo asked with a smile.

"What do you mean by that?" The woman glared at Chen Mo dissatisfied.

"It doesn't mean much, I see that Xiao Niang's leather armor is not like ordinary people can have, it is specially tailored and sewn, this sword, from Zhen Ze water quenching, I heard that the sword casting master Ou Yezi was here to cast the sword, the sword blade cast by the water here is sharp, but the sword body is not brittle, if cast by the sword casting master, not to mention the ancient famous sword, but it can also cut gold and break jade, and the short sword with these maids behind you is also unusual texture, these are all weapons that are only seen in the Jiangdong army, that is, the Jiangdong clan, even if there is, it will not be assembled for a woman." Chen Mo took a sip of the broth, looked at the woman and said, "You said that you are from Lujiang, but I think you are more like the Sun family of Wujun, right." ”

"You ......" The woman was startled and subconsciously drew her sword.

Chen Mo stretched out his hand and flicked it lightly on the other party's elbow, and the woman suddenly felt that half of her jade arm was sore, and her hand holding the sword couldn't help but loosen a lot.

Seeing this, the waitresses around hurriedly wanted to step forward, but when they saw Chen Mo copying it, they pulled out the sword on the woman's waist and flicked it lightly: "Good sword!" ”

"Don't move!" The woman hurriedly waved her hand, and the moment Chen Mo put the sword into her hands, she felt a sense of foreboding in her heart? A pair of beautiful eyes stared at Chen Mo: "Who are you?" ”

"It doesn't matter who it is." Chen Mo turned his sword? Amid the screams of a group of waitresses, return the sword to its sheath? Looking at it from a different angle? It was as if a sword had pierced the woman's body: "But this is not where you should be, you are lucky to meet me this time?" If you had met someone else, would you be able to survive now? Is it indispensable to suffer sin? War is not child's play, it is better to do it yourself. ”

"Hmph~" The woman frowned when she heard this, glanced at Chen Mo, hesitated for a moment, and then suddenly saluted Chen Mo: "Mr. Guan's words and deeds?" Must be a talent in Jingzhou? I Jiangdong has always been thirsty for talents, if Mr. is willing to follow me to join Jiangdong, no matter whether Mr. seeks wealth, officials or beauties, I Jiangdong will not be treated lightly. ”

"Hehe~" Zhuge Liang glanced at the woman strangely, and couldn't help but chuckle.

Chen Mo was also a little surprised? Suddenly stepped forward and reached out to pick up the woman's jaw? Carefully looked at the other party's appearance: "Among this beauty, can you be included?" ”

The woman is obviously experiencing this situation for the first time? For a while, his eyes were a little flustered, and he hurriedly looked away? didn't dare to look at Chen Mo.

"What if...... If you want...... Isn't it impossible? But...... But it needs to be ......"

"Look at your age? Are you in your twenties and haven't married yet? Chen Mo let go of her, shook his head and smiled and sat down on his knees again: "Don't worry, I won't go, Jiangdong will lose this battle!" ”

"...... you" The woman's willow eyebrows were upside down, glaring at Chen Mo angrily, it seemed that she might draw her sword at any time, but in the end she suppressed this impulse, looked at Chen Mo and said, "How do you know?" ”

"Go back, if you can see you today, it can be regarded as fate, but if you go further, your life will not be guaranteed." Chen Mo picked up the broth, took a sip of it comfortably, and said with a smile.

"Who are you before you say?" The woman frowned.

Chen Mo thought about it, took a pen and paper casually, wrote a poem, handed it to the woman, and said: "I have heard for a long time that Jiangdong is talented, and take it back to see, how many people can solve it." ”

Hearing this, the woman took the piece of paper, and looked at it with beautiful eyes, and there was a poem written on it, the content was not very clear, but the words were written quite beautifully, and she frowned and looked at Chen Mo.

"Go ahead, don't look back." Chen Mo waved his hand and said, "If anyone can guess, they will tell you why." ”

It's not a profound poem, but he just hides his name and origin in the poem, although he didn't want to embarrass a woman in the past, but he also wants to see if this Jiangdong talent has real talent.

The woman frowned and said, "Why should I listen to you?" ”

"Listen to me, you can at least go back to see your family, if you don't listen, then you don't want to go back to Jiangdong in this life." Chen Mo shook his head and smiled.

The woman was a little depressed and dried the ink on the paper, and after collecting it, she saw that the rain was much lighter, so she immediately got up and led the people to the way they came.

"Why didn't King Ming leave her behind?" Zhuge Liang looked at the direction the woman left and asked with a smile.

"What's the use?" Chen Mo asked rhetorically: "Kong Ming really thinks that Sun Quan will change his strategy because of her?" ”

Zhuge Liang shook his head, naturally not.

As for the identity of the woman...... Jiangdong has a background and is not married in his twenties, and it is just that one, which is not difficult to guess.

"Old Classic!" Chen Mo didn't say anything more, and shouted outside the pavilion.

"Your Majesty!" Dian Wei came in with his guards.

"Go and find out who is in charge of the guard in this area, and tell him to let him go back to farming, it is not for him to lead troops to fight." Chen Mo frowned.

It's already very close to the Xiakou camp, a group of women swaggering here, Chen Mo knows that the Jingzhou army is incapacitated, but this kind of problem occurs, this is not a lack of ability that can be explained, this is called incompetence!

"Whoa!" Dian Wei said yes and turned to leave.

"Kong Ming, what have you done in Jingzhou in the past few years?" Chen Mo waited for Dian Wei to leave before he looked at Zhuge Liang, with a look of disgust, wouldn't they all be studying things like the Iron Cable Hengjiang, the Xiangfan Pontoon Bridge and the Yuanrong Crossbow, with Zhuge Liang's ability, the army should not be so bad.

"The elite of the army, when he was in Xiangfan, he was defeated by the King of Ming, and he suffered heavy casualties. Zhuge Liang said speechlessly.

There are not many Jingzhou elites left in Jingxiang, and Chen Mo fought in Xiangfan, although they surrendered a lot, but when they are placed in the recruits, it is really like a drop of water being integrated into a piece of water, how effective it can be.

"That's not how the army is governed." Chen Mo glanced at him and shook his head and said: "Newly recruited soldiers and horses, they can understand something in a few months, like now, no matter how many they are, they are just a rabble, looking at the battle of Jiangling, Gu Du never thought that it would be so easy to win." ”

Zhuge Liang has nothing to say, he can refute other aspects, but in terms of soldiers and horses, whether Guanzhong trains or leads soldiers, there is a set of methods, in addition to the new recruits of the Ming army who have not experienced the real battlefield fighting, put it under the command of any prince all the way now, it can be used as an elite, which is also the reason why Chen Mo is mainly recruits when he goes south this time, and the veterans are now guarding the frontier and facing the most ferocious enemy.

But Chen Mo can do this, because his family has a great cause, there are academies around the country that specialize in teaching platoon formations, training soldiers, regardless of whether it has been practiced, but the generals who came out of the academy to join the army, the first step is to participate in Gao Shun's training first, and then be sent to various places to train, three years later, he will have the qualification to lead the troops, so many years, Chen Mo has formed a process here, not to mention the ability of the top generals, but in terms of grassroots generals such as Tun generals and military marquis, the Ming army is definitely the best in the world, This is also the reason why Chen Mo's subordinate armies generally have high combat effectiveness, it is easy to command, even a general with mediocre qualifications can command an army decently, this method, not to mention today, has never been seen since ancient times, but it is precisely because of this that the combat effectiveness of all units under Chen Mo's command will be so strong.

As for the unlucky general, he still has to deal with it, anyway, such a big loophole, let this kind of general by his side, Chen Mo will be very insecure, and he can also use this to knock and knock others, the next thing is to rectify the navy, Chen Mo feels that if this Jingzhou navy is trained well, it may not be much worse than the Jiangdong navy.

"Let's stop here today......" Chen Mo glanced at Zhuge Liang, his eyes were a little complicated, and said: "Kong Ming, I asked you to come to the craftsman camp to let you make something new, whether it is farming or water conservancy, I heard Deheng say that you have been improving your Yuanrong crossbow recently?" ”

"Yes, I talked to Brother Deheng about this, and the Yuanrong crossbow can shoot up to fifty rounds in a row!" Zhuge Liang nodded.

"Iron Arrow?" Chen Mo rubbed his temples and asked.

"Not bad!"

"At that time, I think, you try to use ordinary arrow clusters, Liu Bei's family background is estimated to have been hollowed out by you like this, these years it has been a conscription, and it is a copper pillar in the heart of the river, an iron cable across the river, and a Yuan Rong crossbow with ten iron arrows...... " Chen Mo shook his head, when he saw the procurement materials sent by the craftsman camp yesterday, even if Chen Mo's family background in Kyushu is now a bit big, the fifty rounds of Yuan Rong crossbow is really not necessary, even if it is made, it is impossible to equip it on a large scale, it is not difficult to make things, but it is really not something that ordinary people can afford.

"I see, Liang has also thought about this, but if it is replaced by a wooden arrow, I am afraid it will be difficult and far." Zhuge Liang smiled when he heard this.

"There are close usages, and even small quantities are not afraid." Chen Mo shook his head and said with a smile, if this thing is used to defend the city, even if the lethality is only thirty steps, it will be a big killing weapon at the head of the city, especially if there are dozens of serials together, if it really does fifty consecutive shots, it will be difficult for the enemy to get close to the city wall.

"Since King Ming has this concern, then Liang will give it a try." Zhuge Liang said with a smile, anyway, he is just a craftsman now, he will do whatever Chen Mo asks him to, anyway, he won't help Chen Mo with advice.

"Well, let's go back, it seems that this Jiangdong won't move troops yet, and these things are not in a hurry."
