Not long after, Li Jiang opened the door and walked in, and said with a happy face: "Brother, an official from the county came down and said that General Zuo wanted to recruit young people from the county to join the army. ”

"There are such good things." Li Zheng's eyes widened a little, and then he said excitedly: "Brothers, after eating and drinking, we will go to the county to join the army." ”

"Okay."

"Everything is at my brother's orders."

The teenagers said one after another.

After eating this meal, Li Zheng said goodbye to his mother, took two sturdy retinues, brought their own horses, bows, and swords, and went to Xinye with more than a dozen teenagers with the same surname.

And in the four towns of Xinye, there are many teenagers like Li Zheng. Sun Gan set up a recruitment office in Xinye City, and in two days he recruited 600 people, 100 more than the planned 500 people.

Sun Qian asked Liu Bei for five small officials, more than a dozen old soldiers in the army, and took these 600 teenagers to camp outside the city.

Then he personally went to Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei's homes to transfer Zhao Tong and Zhang Bao from the academy and let them serve in the army.

Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei are both leading generals, and they also know that their son's grades in the school are mediocre, so they have no opinion, so they should respond quickly.

After visiting these two families, Sun Qian planned to go to Guan Yu's house and brought a gift. Didn't Guan Ping sell two horses last time and get military rations for Wei Yan.

Liu Bei was worried about this matter, so he picked a horse in his Zuo General's Mansion and asked Sun Qian to send it to Guan Ping.

Sun Qian met Mi Zhu on the road.

But it doesn't look like a chance encounter, but it seems to be intentional on the part of the other party. Sun Qian sat in the ox cart and watched Mi Zhu come on horseback, with his eldest son Mi Wei by his side.

Mi Wei is a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy with a sturdy physique, a look similar to his father, and a very graceful bearing. Although the Mi family left Xuzhou and invested in Liu Bei's family business, they still had a surplus of wealth and were still rich in the entire Xinye.

Mi Wei was well dressed, straddling a horse, carrying a bow and a sword, and followed by three horsemen.

"Mr. Gongyu."

"Sir."

After Mi Zhu "encountered" Sun Qian, he took his son Mi Wei to turn over and dismount, bow and salute.

"Mr. Zizhong." The status of the two is almost the same, Mi Zhu's status is higher, Sun Qian naturally did not dare to drag it up, and also got out of the carriage to return the salute.

"The lord has already issued an invitation card to invite Jingzhou Haojie to come to Xinye for a banquet to promote Mi's wine. Sir must be very busy at this time, why did you come here to see me? ”

Sun Qian is also a cheerful person, and asked directly.

Mi Zhu was exposed, but he was not ashamed. Instead, he said with a smile: "I heard that the lord recruited six hundred teenagers and handed them over to Commander Guan Ping. Zhao Tong and Zhang Bao, who were mediocre in their studies, were transferred away to form a juvenile camp. The dog's studies are also mediocre, but he is skilled in bows and horses, so Mr. will take him with him. ”

Sun Qianqing knows that Mi Zhu's words are false, Mi Wei is a stuffy gourd, cherishes words like gold, and does not get along well with his classmates, but he can still study, after all, the Mi family has reached the Mi Zhu generation, and he is also a scholar, how can his knowledge be bad.

On the contrary, it is Zhao Yun, the Zhang family, and the Guan family of Jiangmen, not to mention that this study is miserable, it is indeed not good.

However, Mi Wei has been skilled in arching horses since he was a child, but it is also true. Because Mi Zhu himself is very good at riding and shooting, he is very good at shooting rabbits.

Since Mi Wei's studies are okay, why didn't he study halfway, but instead went to serve in the army?

Although Sun Qian can't make suggestions, he is quite sophisticated. He knew that although Mi Zhu did not know how to do business, he had first-class political investment and great courage.

When Liu Bei was down, Mi Zhu dared to bet his family on Liu Bei, and offered his sister to Liu Bei as his wife, which shows his courage.

At this moment, Guan Ping came up with a strange strategy, saying that it was to let Xinye's population reach 200,000 and 20,000 elite soldiers, which is not easy to say, but to solve the problem of money and food, it must be no problem.

Guan Ping is so powerful, and he is the son of Guan Yu, Jian is in Liu Bei's heart. Moreover, it is a great achievement to solve the problem of money and food. If Liu Bei succeeds in the future, Guan Ping will definitely soar.

And rightfully so.

If they didn't put the treasure on Liu Beicheng's big thing, how could they still follow Liu Bei in exile?

All in all, in the hearts of these civil and military people, Liu Bei will definitely succeed. Then Guan Ping will definitely soar, plus the juvenile camp established this time, there are also Zhao Tong and Zhang Bao, the children of the generals.

Letting the eldest son Mi Wei follow Guan Ping is really a promising thing. Sun Qian can see this matter, and Mi Zhu can certainly see it.

That's why there was this "chance encounter" on the street, and Mi Zhu blocked him here.

And for Sun Gan, this matter is just a gesture. The relationship between the two is not bad, so Sun Qian agreed.

So, Sun Qian sent Mi Wei away and asked Mi Wei to take three riding slaves to the military camp to report. Then he greeted Mi Zhu for a moment or two, and then went to Guan's house.

When Sun Qian came to Guan's house, the sun was already in the west. Liu took the servants of the family and the disabled old man to weave cloth at home.

There was a shortage of looms, which were newly built by craftsmen in the army. Hearing that Sun Qian was coming, Liu hurriedly put down his work and came to the lobby of the front yard.

"Mr. Gongyu." Liu came to the lobby from the back door, and when he saw Sun Gan kneeling in the guest seat, he bowed down and saluted.

"Mrs. Guan." Sun Qian also stood up politely and bowed. Soon after, the host and guest sat down, and Sun Qian said straightforwardly: "Guan Ping came up with a strategy to solve the problem of Xinye's money and grain. The lord valued Guan Ping very much, and ordered me to form a youth battalion, so that Guan Ping and Zhao Tong, Zhang Bao, Mi Wei and others could command this army. I came to inform Madame that my lord had asked me to bring a war horse. ”

"My family Ping'er can actually solve the problem of Xinye's money and grain?" Liu stood up in surprise, because she didn't know anything about it.

"Madame doesn't know about this?" Sun Qianleng paused, Liu Bei did not have large-scale publicity about this matter, but Guan Ping did this kind of thing, and even his family didn't know about it.

It's really hidden.

"I don't know." Liu shook his head and calmed down, but said with joy: "It's a good thing that my son can give advice to the lord." Guan Jiajiangmen, Ping'er will definitely lead the troops in the future, and it is also a good thing to be able to command the young people now. Sir, I'll go and call Ping'er. ”

Speaking of this, Liu got up and saluted Sun Qian, and then hurriedly walked out. Sun Qian returned the salute and said, "Madame, please." ”

Not long after, the happy Liu found Guan Ping in Guan Ping's room, this stinky boy had just practiced martial arts for a while, and was a little tired, and now he was lying on the bed and sleeping.

"Ping'er." Liu came to the bedside and called.

"Mother." Guan Ping rubbed his eyes, sat up in a daze, and looked at Liu with a puzzled expression after a while.

At this time, the old lady should be weaving, why come to me to disturb my dreams.

Guan Ping was a little angry.
