Xu Shu's arrival did not attract too much attention, Liu Bei just held a private banquet at home and invited Xu Shu.

After all, with Liu Bei's current status and fame, it is no longer suitable to solemnly launch a grand invitation to a newcomer, because it not only means recognition of ability, but also an amazing pressure.

Speaking of Xu Shu's ability, Chen Xi is still very relieved, Xu Shu can say that he is finally qualified to meet Liu Bei, which means that Xu Shu is already sure to deal with all the situations, otherwise, with the personality of this former hooligan leader, he can't say such things.

Liu Bei specially set up a banquet for Xu Shu, which made Xu Shu very moved, and with Chen Xi sitting with him, there was not much fear after a few glasses of wine, after all, there was already material in the stomach, and he had a lot of confidence to speak.

"I don't know how Yuan Zhi has been in Jingzhou in the past few years." Liu Bei smiled and asked Xu Shu about the life in Jingzhou, which could make such a big change for a little hooligan like Xu Shu, Liu Bei was very curious about what had happened in the past few years.

"When I first met Pang Degong, I had to meet a confidant, and with his help, I have today." Xu Shu recalled the cold eyes of others when he first arrived in Jingzhou, and then remembered how he met Pang Degong at that time, and couldn't help but smile on his face and slowly talked about his life in the past few years.

"In this way, Pang Degong is indeed a great talent, but unfortunately he didn't have the opportunity to see him." Liu Bei said with a slight emotion, he could feel the restrained temperament on Xu Shu's body, a little like Chen Xi had just debuted back then, although he was erudite and talented, and confident, but after all, he was a little rusty in personnel.

"A strange man indeed." Xu Shu shook his head and said. Then he said, "But Pang Degong has lived in Jingzhou for a long time. The homeland is hard to leave, but there is no way to recruit it. If the lord is willing to give it a try, I can repair a book. ”

Xu Shu's words were completely haha, it was obvious that he knew that Pang Degong would not come, and Liu Bei cherished his talents, so he had such a sentence.

"It doesn't have to be." Chen Xi said with a smile, "They are all Han soils, where there is a difference between far and near, there will be a day of reunion." Why rush for a while. Saying that, Chen Xi raised his glass and invited Xu Shu to a glass, Chen Xi hadn't toasted anyone for a long time.

"That's true." Xu Shu bowed slightly, not surprised, smiled and raised a glass and drank it all, in his opinion, Liu Bei is in such a situation, after the Central Plains is set in the north, it will inevitably sweep the world, and the words of Han Tu are not Liu Biao's share.

Chen Xi smiled slightly, he was still very satisfied with Xu Shu. Whether it is the strategy discussed at the banquet or the plan of the Northern Expedition, it can be said that it is reasonable and well-founded, although there are mistakes and omissions because of the lack of understanding of Mount Tai, but it is undeniable that it does not matter this life or the previous life. The moment Xu Shu came out of the mountain, he had already entered his peak.

"Lord, Master Jia has something to report." At this time, a guard came to tell him, and Liu Bei reacted at this time. It's time for Jia Xu to give him a report on the current process of the army every day.

"Ask him to come in." Liu Bei said to the guards.

"My lord." Jia Xu bowed slightly, but saw Xu Shu sitting on Liu Bei's side. He didn't specifically ask, although he hadn't seen Xu Shu. But that casual glance was enough for Jia Xu to understand who could make Chen Xi and Liu Bei invite at the same time.

"Wenhe, sit down, how is the situation of our army now." Liu Bei did not avoid Xu Shu, and Xu Shu also did not mean to avoid it, so after letting the maid add a pair of dishes and chopsticks, and a few cases of food, Liu Bei asked with a smile.

"More than 44,000 people have gathered in three days, including more than 13,000 experienced veterans, including more than 7,000 veterans of more than 10 battles, and more than 4,000 veterans of more than 15 battles, including veterans who have been selected for the city management force." Jia Xu sat in his place casually and said.

"Shouldn't all those veterans who failed in the city management army after more than 15 wars go home to farm? I'm about forty years old. Chen Xi said with a headache, "Didn't you say that those over thirty-two years old don't want it?" ”

Xu Shu was slightly shocked, the so-called number of battles is not a battle between several scout squads, calculating how many battles the veteran has experienced without dying is calculated according to the legion-level war, and the so-called legion war experienced by the veteran in a hundred battles is more than ten battles.

"They feel very unaccustomed to going home and planting for a month, and they can't bear this kind of life at all, according to the information I have gathered, this group of people is relatively peaceful to go home for a short time, but after more than a month, they will be disgusted with trivial things." Jia Xu said casually.

Without waiting for Chen Xi to express his feelings about the veteran syndrome, Jia Xu continued, "And this group of people basically belong to the elite soldiers in the barracks, and they are energetic every day. ”

"Does that mean I need to pay for a veteran general skills professor academy so that they can have a skill?" Chen Xi said with a headache.

"That's pretty much it, by the way, compared to their previous life in the army, they didn't have a good time back home." Jia Xu completely ignored Chen Xi's expression and said to himself, these belonged to the scope of Chen Xi's management after Lu Su stepped down.

"They don't need to be responsible for the army's food and lodging, as long as they can fight, the steamed buns are always open, and they eat meat twice a month, plus the army's salary is two percent higher than they are now, and more importantly, nine out of ten people in this group don't know how to manage money, that is, you said that you have wine tonight and get drunk tonight!" Jia Xu said expressionlessly words that made Chen Xi very entangled.

You must know that Chen Xi asked the old soldier to retire from the army, and he also paid eighty percent of the salary so that they could find a new job and a spare salary, so that even if they were discharged from the army, they would not know anything at the beginning, and they would have food, clothing, and schooling for a few years, after all, the first three years after the discharge from the army will always be eighty percent.

"More importantly, the pension will be reduced to 50% after three years, and then it will be reduced to only 20% of the pension benefits." Jia Xu looked at Chen Xi with a sneer and said, the meaning of this is self-evident.

"To put it bluntly, this group of guys don't know how to live at all, right, they were originally in the barracks, they had nowhere to spend money, they sent it back directly, they lived well at home, and they lived well, and now after returning it, the money is naturally taken by themselves, and they don't know how to manage money, I'm really convinced!" Chen Xi only felt that his head was bigger.

"That's basically what it means." Jia Xu smiled and said, "So they didn't feel comfortable staying at home, and when they heard that they were going to go on a northern expedition, they came, and they had already killed an entire legion of Qingzhou soldiers." (To be continued......)
