Seeing that Tao Qian admired Gao Cheng very much, Mi Zhu was also very happy in his heart, after so many days of contacts between the Mi family and the Gao family, coupled with facing a strong enemy, it has become a relationship of both prosperity and loss. If Gao Cheng can get Tao Qian's appreciation and become a high-level in Xuzhou, Mi will no longer have to worry about Cao Bao and Zang Ba.

Mi Zhu said: "Qi Tao Gong, now the Yellow Turban thieves are pouring into Xuzhou, the soldiers of the state capital can't be governed, they can only rely on the bandits under Zang Ba, Zang Ba is just that, he was also a child of the family, but the bandits under his command are wreaking havoc in Donghai County, fierce and stubborn, if these people know, Xuzhou can only rely on them to keep safe, and there must be no fear!

Tao Qian's expression was slightly gloomy, he also considered this situation, but the most important thing at the moment was to defeat the Yellow Turban rebels, the number of these rebels was hundreds of thousands, and Zang Ba's tens of thousands of troops might not be able to hold out for long in the face of ten times the enemy. It's too early to say that Zang Ba's bandit army is powerful and difficult to control.

Mi Zhu paid attention to his face and continued: "The subordinates want to come and go, in order to protect the safety of Xuzhou, and also to maintain the business of the Mi family, the subordinates are willing to fund the recruitment of 50,000 soldiers and hand them over to the command of Tao Gong!"

50,000 soldiers?

Tao Qian was suddenly moved, he had just come to Xuzhou, and he had not yet fully mastered the counties under his control, and he couldn't raise too much money and food for the time being, and he couldn't afford to raise soldiers if he wanted to, and the weapons and armor of 50,000 soldiers and the grain and grass consumed by training were very terrifying, and only the Mi clan in the rich world could bear the entire Xuzhou.

Gao Cheng was also shocked in his heart, just now he only said that he would recruit 30,000 soldiers, but he didn't expect Mi Zhu to add 20,000 soldiers directly on the basis of 30,000, so that the 50,000 army strength is still above Zang Ba.

Tao Qian stood up, looked at Mi Zhu with both eyes, laughed violently, and said: "I didn't expect Zizhong to understand the righteousness so well! Okay, if you can exterminate the Yellow Turban Rebellion, you will be the first merit! These 50,000 troops will be handed over to Gao Ziming to command! I hope you don't let me down!"

At this time, Tao Qian understood Mi Zhu's intention.

In the troubled times, the most worried about safety are the rich businessmen in the world, whether it is the rebels or those families, they will regard the rich merchants as lambs to be slaughtered, and when they lack money and food, they will kill pigs and slaughter sheep and harvest a wave.

Mi Zhu is taking precautions, so he wants to recruit an army of 50,000 and has military power in his hands. In this way, there is no need to worry that Mi will be used as prey by others.

Tao Qian is an old and spicy capable minister, although he doesn't know the grievances between the Mi clan and Zang Ba, but he understands the purpose of Mi Zhu's willingness to recruit 50,000 troops for the state capital, and these 50,000 troops are dispatched by the state government, but in exchange, the general must be a person from the Mi family, or a person recommended by the Mi family!

......

After leaving the Thorn History Mansion, Mi Zhu's heart was still very agitated, Mi had money and food, Gao Cheng had soldiers, and the two of them would be able to fight against Cao Bao Zangba.

Back at the mansion, Mi Zhu vacated several large manors outside the city as military camps, and then erected the banner of Xuzhou Thorn Mansion, released a recruitment notice, and began to recruit good sons and homeless people.

In troubled times, when the recruitment flag is erected, there are people who eat food. There are a large number of strong people who are willing to work for food. When the recruitment flag was erected, more than 2,000 people were called Xuzhou soldiers that day. And among these people, there are many powerful sons and daughters of the local heroes.

The entire Haoqiang family in Xuzhou is not stupid, and when the Yellow Turban soldiers poured in, they instantly realized that today's world is different from the past.

Officers and soldiers and Yellow Turbans fought each other, no matter who won or lost, as long as the war was fought together, the entire Xuzhou would fall into a state of war. Some of the smarter Haoqiang and the family, after hearing the news of the assassin's recruitment of soldiers, immediately sent their own children to join the army, if they can have military power in the official army, they can protect the family in this troubled era.

On the second day of recruitment, the displaced people who came from the direction of Pengcheng also heard the news, and a large number of displaced people came to join them. Every day, one or two thousand young men join the army.

The new construction of the army, whether it is the logistics of grain and grass, weapons, or the training of the army, it is a mess, Gao Cheng is responsible for training, Mi Zhu is responsible for money and grain, these things occupy a lot of time for the two of them.

On this day, Gao Cheng and Mi Zhu were discussing things in the temporary barracks, when they heard a herald hurriedly running over and reported: "General, there is a soldier outside the barracks who wants to see you!"

Gao Cheng and Mi Zhu glanced at each other, at this time, the 50,000 army had been recruited, did anyone still want to join the army?

However, since it was the scholar who asked to see him, as the children of the family, the two naturally couldn't be too arrogant, and after hearing the report, they immediately went to the outside of the barracks together and took the initiative to greet them.

Walking to the barracks, I immediately saw a young man in white standing outside, this person had square eyebrows and an extraordinary bearing, at this time there was a burst of shouting and training sounds in the barracks, and the young man in white looked at the place where the voice came from, as if he was sensing something.

"Hmm, transcendental-level soul refining master?" Gao Cheng's heart moved, and he felt that a layer of aura was shrouded around this person, which was a vision that would only appear when the Confucian Soul Cultivation Technique had been cultivated to a high and profound realm and was proficient in the Great Dao of Scripture and Righteousness.

After Mi Zhu saw this person, he immediately showed a look of surprise, "It's actually Pengcheng Zhang Zibu!"

This young man in white is Zhang Zhao, who not long ago, in the siege of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, armed with a bow and arrow, fought his way out of the siege with the Confucian method of six arts.

"Zhang Zhao, it's him!" Gao Cheng was also very excited, this was the top internal affairs talent he dreamed of, if this person was willing to serve himself, someone would be able to undertake those tedious internal affairs trivialities. These days, he does everything himself, and he is very unaccustomed to it.

Gao Cheng and Mi Zhu hurriedly welcomed Zhang Zhao into the barracks. When passing through the training space, Zhang Zhao deliberately glanced at Jiang Qin and Pei Yuanshao, who were training the newly recruited soldiers according to the training method given by Gao Cheng at this time.

After a few days, Gao Cheng selected some people with good hearts and abilities from the children of the family and Haoqiang who took refuge to serve as the head of the grassroots army. Higher positions need to be awarded based on their performance.

I have to say that most of the people in this world who are literate and know how to obey orders are the children of powerful families, and these people have been exposed to elite education since childhood, and there is no problem in serving as the chief Dubo. Among the 50,000 soldiers, the civilians and the homeless were very mediocre, and there were basically no talents.

It took Gao Cheng these days to sort out a rough outline of the army. When Zhang Zhao saw this, his eyes lit up slightly.

The three men entered the main tent and sat on their knees behind the wooden table.

"I've heard the name of Brother Zibu for a long time, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation!" Gao Cheng said with a smile.

With a wry smile on his face, Zhang Zhao sighed slightly, and said: "It's just a dog that has lost its family, how dare you let the general praise it like this! To tell you the truth, most of my Zhang's family business has been destroyed by the Yellow Turban rebels, and I wanted to go to Yangzhou for refuge, but when I was about to go south, I heard that General Gao and Brother Zizhong were recruiting soldiers and preparing to suppress the thieves, so I came to take a look!"

Today, I saw that General Gao had trained his troops well, so I came to join the army, hoping to join the army, exterminate the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and return peace to Xuzhou!"

Speaking of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Zhang Zhao gritted his teeth a little, with his character, he even indifferently refused the expedition of the previous assassin, but now he took the initiative to join the official army in order to suppress the thieves. It can be seen that he has hated the Yellow Turban rebels to the extreme in his heart!
