Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

After listening to Wang Ba's introduction, Liu Xiu pondered for a moment and said, "In this way, you can meet this person!" ”

Wang Ba said: "Lord, my subordinates go to find the priests!" ”

"Okay." Liu Xiu nodded in agreement.

The longer the battle, the more blood sticks to his hands, and Liu Xiu's murderous intent is not as heavy as before.

In the past, after Liu Xiu captured the city, he would unceremoniously kill all the officials in the city, but now, he rarely does this anymore.

There are already too many people dying on the battlefield, and indiscriminate one-size-fits-all can easily make innocent people die.

As an official of Xiangcheng, he was able to survive, thanks to Liu Xiu's current benevolent government.

He is in his early thirties, but he looks like he is less than thirty, and he is very energetic and handsome.

The face is as white as jade, the eyebrows are clear, the figure is slender, and the demeanor is graceful. Liu Xiu's first impression when he saw Saizun was that he had the air of a gentleman.

While Liu Xiu was looking at the sacrifice, the sacrifice was also looking at Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu was much younger than he imagined, only in his twenties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a high nose, he was a very handsome young man.

What surprised the priest was that Liu Xiu could not see the rebelliousness of the ordinary rebel army, but the gentleness and elegance of a scholar.

Liu Xiu's first impression of Saizun was very good, and similarly, Saizun's first impression of Liu Xiu was also excellent.

The two looked at each other for a very short time, and the priest took the lead in giving a salute and said, "The villain is the first grandson, meet General Liu!" ”

Liu Xiu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Sacrifice doesn't have to be polite. ”

"General Xie Liu!" The priest straightened his body. As described by Wang Ba, the figure of the priest is neither burly nor tall, on the contrary, thin and weak, giving people a sense of weakness.

It's hard to imagine that such a weak-looking scholar dared to kill the officials of the county government with a sword, he really can't be a person!

Liu Xiu sighed in his heart and said, "What does Mr. Sai think of Li Wen and Jia Xuan? ”

"Insatiable, selfish villain!" Saizun didn't think about it, and answered simply.

Liu Xiu asked curiously: "Since Mr. Sai thinks that Li Wen and Jia Xuan are villains, why do you still want to work under the two of them?" ”

"First, the villain has to support his family and make a living, and second, Li Wen and Jia Xuan are not unique to Xiangcheng, they are everywhere in the world, even if the villain goes elsewhere, he will still meet the second Li Wen and Jia Xuan."

Sai Zun looked directly at Liu Xiu and said.

Liu Xiu was very satisfied with the answer, that is, he did not hide his selfishness, and expressed his helplessness. He nodded, and asked casually, "Mr. Sai thinks that our army will be stationed in Xiangcheng permanently?" ”

Sai Zun's eyes flashed, Liu Xiu's question really made Sai Zun not easy to answer. If he tells the truth, he is afraid of arousing Liu Xiu's jealousy, and if he doesn't tell the truth, it may make Liu Xiu feel that he is incompetent and incompetent. Other questions, the priests are all answered, but when it comes to this question, the priests are suddenly stuck, Liu Xiu pondered a little, and he understood the concerns in his heart, and said happily: "Mr. Sacrificial But it doesn't hurt to say that it doesn't matter, although Xiu is not talented, but also."

It's not a jealous person. ”

Sai Zun took a deep breath and said bluntly: "General Liu will not be permanently stationed in Xiangcheng. ”

"Oh? Why did Mr. Sai say that? At this time, the Han army divided its troops to attack Yingchuan, and there were only two possibilities, either to leave a way for Nanyang to retreat, or to plan to introduce the Mang army into Yingchuan, no matter which one it was

Yes, the Han army will not be satisfied with the status quo after only capturing a few cities in Yingchuan, if the villain is not mistaken, General Liu will ...... I'm afraid I'm going to use troops against the county! ”

Yo! What a powerful priest, he can even guess his own deployment clearly. Ma Wu, who was present, subconsciously glared at Wang Ba, wondering if he had revealed his news to the priest first.

Wang Ba glared back at Ma Wu fiercely, as if to say, are you doubting my character? Liu Xiu deliberately showed disapproval, shook his head and said, "Mr. Sai is too confident!" Xiangcheng is not close to the county seat, even if our army wants to fight, it should first hit the nearby father city or Yingyang

That's right! Saizun said bluntly: "The father city is located in the middle of nowhere, there is no one to ask for people, there is no food, and sending troops to attack is a complete waste of time and troops. As for Yingyang,

It is even more impossible, Yingyang has Yingshui as a backing, to fight Yingyang, it is necessary to have a navy, but as far as the villain knows, General Liu's command is all cavalry, and there is no navy. ”

Therefore, it is impossible for the Han army to fight the father city or Yingyang, so there is only one possibility, which is to fight the county town.

Liu Xiu nodded secretly, and glanced at Wang Ba with great appreciation, this talent recommended by Yuan Bo is really not simple, clear-minded, and has a unique long-term vision, although he has only been a small county official, but he has already been quite a general.

"I don't know what Mr. Sai thinks of my Han army?" Saizun's face was straight, and he said in a loud voice: "Wang Mang is getting older, the government is becoming more and more mediocre, harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, endlessly, starvation is everywhere, the people are not happy, the people of the world, thinking about the Han Dynasty for a long time, the Nanyang Han army, the promotion of the Han Emperor, seems to be hasty and reckless

, in fact, it is the way of heaven and the people. The villain is not talented, and he is willing to contribute to the Han family! As he spoke, he fell to his knees and bowed forward.

Sai Zun is not a person who is willing to accept the status quo, and he really wants to make a difference in the troubled times, otherwise, with his family background, he does not need to be an official and a half-position in the county government, and he can live well by relying on his ancestral business.

Liu Xiu stood up, walked to the priest's approach, and asked, "If I let Mr. Sacrificial make the Xiangcheng County Order, Mr. Sai may govern Xiangcheng well?" ”

Sai Zun said: "The villain is willing to follow the general and join the army from Rong!" ”

Hehe! Liu Xiule is happy, it seems that the priest does not look down on the official position of Xiangcheng County Order at all.

He looked at the priest happily, and after a while, he bent down, reached out to support the priest's arm, helped him up, and said softly: "Do the little things first, and then plan for the big cause, what does Mr. Sai think?" ”

The implication is that you have to show me that you can do the little things well, not just talk about it.

Naturally, he could hear Liu Xiu's words, and he bowed down and said, "The villain obeys the general's arrangement!" ”

Wang Ba reminded meaningfully beside him: "Brother Sun, you should change your name to the lord!" ”

Just now, when he said that he was willing to serve the Han family, he felt that it was inappropriate, and there were factions within the Han army, and his own lord and the first emperor Liu Xuan obviously belonged to two factions.

Hearing Wang Ba's reminder, he immediately changed his words and said: "Lord! ”

Liu Xiu said with a smile: "The first grandson, the former Xiangcheng County soldier, has a large number of prisoners, and it is difficult to distinguish between loyalty and treachery, you may choose the loyal and righteous people among them for our army's use?" ”

The priest did not hesitate, and said: "Lord, the subordinates will not disgrace their mission!" ”

"Good! I'll leave this matter to the first grandson! ”

Liu Xiu had 3,000 soldiers and horses under his hands, and it was impossible to divide the troops to stay in Xiangcheng on this trip, but Xiangcheng could not be defended without soldiers, so Liu Xiu could only recruit soldiers from among the county soldiers.

It's just that this matter is not easy to do, and it is difficult to distinguish between the county soldiers who are recruited and who sincerely want to join the Han army, and who are hypocritical and have ulterior motives.

Sai Zun is an official of Xiangcheng, and he also knows a little more about the situation of the county soldiers.

Facts have proved that Sai Zun really did not disappoint Liu Xiu, and in the afternoon of the same day, Sai Zun handed over a list to Liu Xiu, and he selected more than 1,000 people from the 2,000 county soldiers who were taken prisoner.

The list alone contains six bundles of bamboo slips. Liu Xiu picked up a bundle casually and unfolded it, which was densely packed with people's names. He looked at it roughly, then put down the bamboo slips, looked at the priest, and asked, "First Sun, can these people be trusted?" ”

Sai Zun said: "The subordinates don't dare to ensure that everything is foolproof, but at least more than ninety percent are trustworthy!" ”

"Oh? Tell me how you chose someone! Liu Xiu asked with interest.

Sai Zun told Liu Xiu in detail about his idea of selecting people.

Among the 2,000 county soldiers, the veteran soldier Youzi was the first part he excluded, and the wealthy ones were excluded by him.

These more than 1,000 county soldiers were basically recruits who were temporarily recruited from Xiangcheng, and because their families were poor and they couldn't open the pot, they had to come to join the army.

These recruits are not very loyal to the imperial court, and even in their hearts, they are extremely dissatisfied with the imperial court.

Hearing the narration of the priest, Liu Xiu nodded again and again, and when he finished speaking, Liu Xiu stroked his palms and smiled, and sighed: "The selection of the first grandson is very reasonable!" ”

While they were talking, Choshi walked in from outside, intervened in Liu Xiu, and said, "Lord, the hiding place of Li Wen and Jia Xuan's remnants has now been ascertained!" ”

Liu Xiu's eyes lit up suddenly, he stood up and asked, "Where are they hiding?" ”

"Tian Yan Mansion!"

Xi Zun frowned secretly, Tian Yan was one of the scholars in Xiangcheng, Li Wen and Jia Xuan did have a close personal relationship with Tian Yan before their deaths, but they didn't expect that after Li Wen and Jia Xuan died, Tian Yan was so bold that he dared to harbor the rest of his party.

Liu Xiu narrowed her eyes and said quietly: "It turned out to be hidden in Tianfu!" He has always been polite to the scholars, but this time, Tian Yan undoubtedly stepped on his bottom line.

Choshi said: "My lord, my subordinates will immediately send someone to raid Tianfu!" ”

Liu Xiu thought for a while, waved his hand to Choshi, turned his head and asked Sai Zundao: "First Sun, can the county soldiers you selected fight?" ”

When the priest heard this, he immediately understood what Liu Xiu meant, and the lord wanted to use the matter of raiding Tianfu to test his results.

He bowed his hand and said, "My subordinates are willing to lead the county soldiers to raid Tianfu and never let go of a remnant!" ”

Liu Xiu said: "The matter of raiding Tianfu will be handled by the first grandson!" ”

The priest obeyed the order and left, Liu Xiu had not stayed in the county office, and took Ma Wu, Choshi and others to Tianfu with the priest.

Raiding Tianfu didn't need to lead more than 1,000 county soldiers, and so many people couldn't show it. He brought 500 county soldiers, and when he arrived at Tianfu, he immediately ordered to surround Tianfu. These county soldiers who had just defected to the Han army were much more energetic than when they were under Li Wen and Jia Xuan, and they were all full of energy. With the order of the sacrifice, the people scattered and surrounded the Tianfu.
