Xiang Lang, Xiang Pet and Huo Jun and Fu Tong had a different experience when they entered the city, because Fu Tong, Huo Jun led six hundred people to come, wearing armor and spears, but the army.

And Xiang Lang, Xiang Pet with fifty parts, and pushing a baggage vehicle, so it seems to be an ordinary caravan.

Xiang Lang and Xiang Pet did not arouse too much vigilance from the guards of the city, but they also intercepted it, and after some conversation, the trilogy was left behind, and only Xiang Lang and Xiang Pet entered the city together.

Guan Ping is still idle, playing with a big knife in the house every day, or reading a book, smelling Xiang Lang, Xiang Pet came, first surprised. Then I learned that Xiang Pet was only a teenager, and I immediately muttered.

But Xiang Lang is indeed talented, Zhuge Liang's prime minister has a long history, and he often stays in the rear. But there is no Jiang Wan after all, Fei Yi is so powerful.

Although he is also an elite official.

But what Guan Ping lacks now is a general.

Which is more important, military generals and civilian officials?

It is the so-called attacker who has the right to fight first. Only when soldiers and horses attack the territory do they need enough civilian officials to be responsible for governance.

And Xiang Pet is only sixteen years old.

Although Guan Ping himself was only eighteen years old, Zhao Tong and others also led the army in their teens. But at that time, Zhao Tong and Zhang Bao were also military candidates, leading more than 500 people.

Although Xiang Chong is a person recorded on the list of teachers, Guan Ping did not dare to award too many soldiers and horses.

This situation is different from Huo Jun and Fu Tong.

These two have experience as young players.

Therefore, he can only be a small general for Xiang Pet, be a military candidate or a Sima of other departments, and lead hundreds or thousands of people. Although the future has great potential, it is not the year to fight.

However, after all, it was also a virtuous person who came to defect, Guan Ping still maintained a happy mood and took out the attitude of Corporal Lixian. Smelling Xiang Lang, Xiang Pet had already entered the house and sat down in the lobby, Guan Ping washed and dressed, and took Zhou Xiong to see Xiang Lang and Xiang Pet. This time, Zhou Xiong stayed outside the door to guard the door.

Xiang Lang knelt in the hall, but Xiang Pet did not sit, just stood by the sword.

"Mr. Xiang." After Guan Ping entered the lobby, he sat down first, and then saluted to Lang.

"Guan Yangwu." Xiang Lang also returned the salute, bowed to the pet and hugged his fists, but did not make a sound.

"My father and son are fighting with Sun Quan for Nanjun, there is a shortage of generals, and there is a shortage of civil officials. I often hear Ma Ji often say that Mr. Yicheng Xiang is highly virtuous, and he is fortunate to see Mr. today, which is really fortunate, very lucky. Guan Ping was polite first, and then said bluntly: "I want to hire Mr. as a subordinate of the shogunate, I don't know if Mr. is willing?" ”

The shogunate was subordinate to a middle-level official.

Sekihei's shogunate was huge, with dozens of officials, large and small. The day before yesterday, Guan Ping received a letter from the chief bookkeeper, saying that it was Chen Kang's death from illness, and he just vacated the place to arrange for Xiang Lang.

And Peng is a middle-level official, not reused, and he doesn't need to do any school examinations, just hire directly, straightforwardly.

Of course, this is just an expedient measure, with Xiang Lang's talent, to be a county guard, it is more than enough to assassinate history, and he needs to be promoted as appropriate in the future.

Xiang Lang's uncle and nephew were all moved in their hearts when they heard this, and they sighed with emotion. "Worthy of the style of Corporal Lixian."

But it is Guan Ping's bluntness, and it is also the mystery of bluntness.

If you come to the door without telling you, you are a wicked guest. Pang Tong wanted to defect to Guan Ping, and he also took Xu Shu's path. Xiang Lang's uncle and nephew have an old relationship with Ma Liang's father and son, and this Zigui is mainly to defect to Ma Liang, and then rely on Ma Liang's recommendation.

After entering the city, Xiang Lang knew that Ma Liang was not there. And he was not familiar with Nanjun Taishou Wang Xu, so he had to come directly to see Guan Ping, although the result was the same, but the etiquette was a little worse.

And now Guan Ping's words are to elevate Xiang Lang's uncle and nephew.

Mr. Jiuwen's name, I am thirsty for talent, and I want to hire Mr. as an official of the shogunate, is it okay?

This is different from Xiang Lang coming directly to defect.

Really knows how to be hospitable.

Guan Ping is known as a corporal of Lixian, but it is better to see it than to hear it, and Uncle Xiang Lang's nephew has seen it. It's also a relief.

Of course, Xiang Lang is also well versed in this, and reciprocated Li Dao: "I have heard for a long time that the general's father and son are famous, Kuang Fu Han family, loyal and brave." General Ming is very loving, my uncle and nephew dare not serve his life? ”

And it was settled.

There is an extra middle-level official in the Guanping shogunate, which is a bit special, this person is called Xiang Lang.

Immediately, the two of them talked, Guan Ping did not take the initiative to ask him about his favor, but Xiang Lang cared about his nephew and favor, so he recommended: "General Qi Ming, little nephew Xiang Pet, is good at riding and shooting, and is familiar with the art of war." As the saying goes, the virtuous do not avoid relatives, and the general is also invited to try it. ”

Xiang Pet is a teenager in the end, and when he saw that it was finally his turn, he couldn't help but show a little excitement and anticipation.

This is in the middle of Guan Ping's heart, and he is still thinking about how to mention it. Guan Ping said with a smile: "Mr. is a gentleman, and he will not say much." I tried it out as Sima of other departments, leading the second army to wait for more than 1,100 people. After I finished writing the official document, Mr. Xiao Xiang led Mr. Xiao Xiang to Wangnan County, took heavy grain and grass, and recruited soldiers and horses in Zigui. ”

Guan Ping still loves Xiang Lang very much, and immediately took pen and ink and wrote the official document. raised his hand to beckon the pet over, and the pet hurriedly went over and took the official document.

I dragged it very tightly, and finally, I could lead the troops.

Not to mention Xiang Pet's excitement, Xiang Lang had to sigh with feelings. It is really the lord of Corporal Lixian. All in all, when Uncle Xiang Lang saw Guan Ping, it was like a spring breeze.

Immediately, Guan Ping also asked Zhou Xiong to find an entourage shogunate official, and took Xiang's uncle and nephew to meet Nanjun Taishou Wang Xu, and then let Xiang Lang take office and get acquainted with the shogunate officials.

However, Guan Ping is currently in Zigui, and Guan Ping's shogunate mainly rules the three counties of Hanzhong, Yinping, and Wudu, and the current staff of the shogunate are all in Nanzheng, and there are only two or three big cats and kittens here.

It's not a big deal.

All in all, Guan Pingde won the support of another powerful Yicheng Xiang clan in Jingzhou. With a virtuous talent Xiang Lang, there is no problem in the future to be a thorn in the outside or to be a shogunate member inside.

Xiang Pet, although he is currently only a few Simas, leading more than 1,100 people, but in the future, he will at least be a general.

After pacifying Jingzhou, he will go back to Hanzhong next year, and the governor's soldiers and horses will attack Yizhou in the south.

Try it first, the probation period is about one year, and the trial will be given to heavy soldiers immediately after the trial.

The promotion is a bit fast, and it seems frivolous, but there is no way, there are few generals.

.............

But it was said that Guan Ping was recruiting troops, extreme rioters. Sun Quan was not idle.

Now Jiangdong 130,000 elite soldiers, 30,000 by Zhu Zhi, Zhu Ran, Zhuge Ke commanded in Jiangxia Exian County, on the south bank of the Yangtze River. 10,000 sailors at the mouth of the oil river.

In the north of the mouth of the oil river, on the north bank of the Yangtze River, Sun Quan's 20,000 sailors established the Jiangling Water Village.

Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu are in Jiangling City, with 20,000 elite infantry troops.

Pan Zhang's 3,000 elite soldiers were stationed in Mingqiu, and Han Dang and others were stationed 40,000 or 50,000 elite soldiers in the northeast of Jiangling, on the edge of the Han River.

Sun Quan, Lu Su, Gu Yong and others stayed in the water village in Jiangling. These 130,000 soldiers and horses are already most of the elite in Jiangdong.

Now Jiangdong has seized Nanjun, and Jiangxia is close to Nanjun. Confrontation with the Guan family, except for Cheng Yang is a hidden danger, the situation is very good.

Under such circumstances, Sun Quan was naturally also worried about the Wuxi barbarians and the matter of Shanyue.

Zhuge Liang, Jiang Wan and others could think of using Shanyue and Wuxi barbarians, and Sun Quan and his advisers naturally thought of it.

Gangneung Water Village.

The flag of the word "Wu" fluttered in the river wind, and the water of the Yangtze River slapped the riverbank and hit the warship, and the sailors did not get on the boat, but only guarded on the water village.

Although the weather is hot now, half of the water village stands on the water, but it is also cool.

In the big tent, Sun Quan, Lu Su, and Gu Yong had a small meeting together.

Sun Quan was neatly dressed and sat on the northern throne, a little worried. Gu Yong is very serious, and with his countenance, he is extremely dignified.

Lu Su had a cute round face, showing an absent-minded look, and moved his toes from time to time.

Lu Su had a nightmare last night, and he is currently in poor spirits, the warm wind is slow, and he is even more drowsy.

"Zijing, Zijing." Sun Quan called Lu Su twice, and Lu Su woke up, confused for a moment, and then said embarrassedly: "Lord." ”

Sun Quan was a little helpless, this Lu Zijing.

Gu Yong glanced at Lu Su, although he didn't say anything, he also sighed in his heart. "No wonder Zhang Gong said that Lu Su was frivolous."

Jiangdong advisers also have their own characteristics, Zhang Zhao is strong and upright, Lu Su is out of tune, and Gu Yong is calm and speechless.

Although Sun Quan was helpless, he didn't blame it, but said: "At present, it seems that the east wind of the river is smooth. At least this year's year won't be too bad. The year is not bad, and the more the mountain can eat, the more you will not fight for the death and injury of your son, and go down the mountain to plunder. But it is still unavoidable. After all, Lone transferred all the elite soldiers from Jiangdong to Jingzhou. Koto is empty. Lone planned to order Zhang Changshi to draft documents, order all counties, and the county order to recruit soldiers and horses and garrison Shanyue. ”

Lu Su scratched his head when he heard this, and said, "To be on guard is to be on guard. However, although Jiangdong was rich, all the soldiers and horses were mobilized to Jingzhou. I am afraid that there is not much grain and grass in the rear, and I am afraid that there will be problems if soldiers and horses are suddenly recruited. ”

Sun Quan touched his beard and said, "No way, you can't have both." Now we are still confronting Guan Yu, and we can't send troops back, so we can only recruit soldiers and horses. As for the food problem, we can only open up sources and reduce expenditure, and find a way to make up for it. ”

Lu Su thought for a while and said, "Wu Hou." We newly occupy four and a half counties in Jingnan, and although the four and a half counties are sparsely populated, they have some food. And Wu Hou is generous, and he has not requisitioned half of the grain and grass in the four counties at present. But now that things are urgent, we can't sit back and watch food go unnoticed. , I asked for my order to go to the mouth of the oil river to sit in the town, and dispatch taxes to feed the army. In this way, the food of the front-line army can be supported by Jingnan, and Jiangdong can mobilize one or two less grains to Jingzhou. ”

As Lu Su said, Sun Quan wanted to win people's hearts, although he knew that there was food in the four counties, but he had no intention of mobilizing for the time being. But now that things have come to this point, there is a choice between popular will and war.

"Good. Lone immediately wrote the paperwork. Sun Quan nodded and said.

Zhang Zhao recruited troops to garrison the city in Jiangdong, and Lu Su went to the four counties of Jingnan to mobilize food, and the two matters were decided. But Gu Yong had something to say, and it was extremely important.
