When Cai Mao and Zhang Yun heard that Liu Biao just asked Wen Ping to take away the 10,000 newly recruited recruits in Xiangyang City, they finally breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. Only when a general has soldiers in his hands can he make meritorious contributions on the battlefield and have a chance to gain the trust of the lord.

Just like the previous Wen Ping, no matter how capable he is, but he has always had a very limited number of troops under his command, so even if he wants to make meritorious achievements, if he doesn't have enough strength, he can only follow behind Cai Mao and Zhang Yun.

This time, the meeting convened by Liu Biao himself finally came to an end.

The next day, Liu Biao announced the personnel appointments agreed upon after the meeting, which included slight changes.

Fu Tong served as the Taishou of Nanyang County, and Yi and Cai Zhong served as the county commander and county lieutenant of Nanyang County respectively, and this has not changed.

Liu Biao gave Fu Tong a lot of power, for example, in Nanyang County, except for Wan County and Caiyang County, the three chief officials of other counties can be appointed by him personally, and there is no need to ask Liu Biao for instructions.

Of course, this sentence is nonsense, and Fu Tong didn't take it to heart.

At that time, if Fu Tong wanted to appoint someone to serve as the county commander of that county or the official position of the county lieutenant and the county magistrate, he would definitely submit the personnel list to Liu Biao in detail.

The county gong cao is the most important adjutant of a county magistrate, a county magistrate, or the county magistrate, and these chief officials can recruit on their own. However, Fu Tong already had a case in his heart, and when Fu Ganhui and Liu Ye and Wei Yan attacked Yang'an County together, drove Li Tong away or simply killed him, and completed the mission in Runan County. Fu Gan will come to Nanyang County immediately, and Gong Cao's position is left to him.

The county order of Wanxian County was replaced by Zhang Yun's uncle Zhang An, and Wanxian County was equivalent to being given up by Liu Biao, but as long as Cao's army did not send troops to attack Nanyang City and attack Wanxian County for a day, Liu Biao still had to station a certain number of troops here to confuse Cao Jun's judgment of the situation in Nanyang County. And the generals who live here must be steady and cautious.

Since then, Zhang An, who is quite old, has been in the army for a long time, and acts steadily, has naturally become the most suitable candidate.

At the same time, Wen was appointed as the Taishou of Jiangxia County, the nephew of the Kuai brothers Kuai Qi and Cai Mao's other younger brother Cai He served as the county governor and county lieutenant of Jiangxia County respectively, and Zhang Yun's nephew, that is, Zhang An's son, served as the county lieutenant of Jiangxia County and Xiling County. In order to appease the Jiangxia Huang family, the post of county commander of Xiling County was still handed over to Huang Zu's eldest son, Huang Jie.

Huang Zu, on the other hand, was appointed to the post of Taishou of Wuling County. The former Taishou of Wuling County, who succeeded Liu Bei when Liu Biao held a banquet to entertain Liu Bei before, humiliated Liu Bei's Jingzhou engaged in Han Song and served as Jingzhou, as for Han Song, he was directly dismissed by Liu Biao.

Han Song directly slapped and humiliated Liu Bei in front of the officials and scholars attending the meeting in Jingzhou, which not only made Liu Biao lose face, but also had a very bad impact on the alliance between the two Liu.

Han Song always mentioned the puppet emperor Han Xiandi, who was manipulated by Cao Cao, which made Liu Biao feel very uncomfortable after hearing it. Therefore, even if Han Song is a famous man in Jingzhou, Liu Biao did not dare to kill him for the sake of his reputation for the time being, but he will not reuse him anymore.

After receiving the letter, Fu Tong personally went to Liu Biao's mansion, bid farewell to his new lord, and led 10,000 recruits, together with his own 3,000 soldiers, from Xiangyang City to Xinye County.

Cao Cao and Sun Ce joined forces and suddenly commanded troops to attack Xuzhou, which had a very great impact on the surrounding princes, especially Liu Biao, who was in the same situation as Liu Bei.

In order to deal with the possible attack, before Liu Bei came to Jingzhou, Liu Biao had already ordered Cai Mao and Zhang Yun to recruit 20,000 to 30,000 new recruits in Jingzhou.

According to Liu Biao's orders, the second general really recruited 30,000 recruits. Now, these recruits are doing their part. First, it strengthened the strength of Fu Tong and Wen Ping to defend Xinye and Xiling, and at the same time, it also prevented the two of them from transferring the original veterans of Jingzhou.

In this regard, Fu Tong and Wenpin didn't care too much.

Jin Jue once said to Fu Tong that a general is incompetent and exhausts thousands of troops, and if the commander of an army is an incompetent, even if his subordinates are elite soldiers in a hundred battles, sooner or later they will be exhausted to death by incompetent generals.

Therefore, if there is enough time, in fact, recruits are better than veterans, because they are all a blank slate, and capable generals can stimulate the fighting spirit of these soldiers and train these recruits better and faster. On the contrary, if Fu Tong is asked to take those veterans, no matter how hard he trains them, the effect of the training may not be better, and there is a high chance that they will be inferior to the trained recruits.

It's true that veterans are experienced, but veterans are also the spokesperson of another name - Bing Youzi. Many soldiers have been in the army for a long time, and they will become out-and-out soldiers.

And before, Zhang Xiu left Nanyang City and had no way to take away the Nanyang soldiers, the total number was about 10,000, they did not continue to stay in Wancheng, after being absorbed by Fu Tong, under the leadership of the captain of Fu Tong's personal guard, according to his orders, now, they are all hidden in the mountains near Xinye County.

Fu Tong plans to wait for himself to settle down in Xinye County, and slowly recruit new soldiers from Xinye County, and use this method to incorporate these soldiers into his army, which can not only increase the strength of Xinye County, but also enhance Xinye County's defense capability in the short term.

After entering Xinye City and repairing for a day, Fu Tong suddenly decided to lead his troops out of the city.

"Fu Taishou, you and I have just arrived in Xinye, and you are in a hurry to lead the troops to the battle, what do you want to do? The task given to us by the main bus is to rebuild the county seat in Xinye County! As soon as he got the news, Cai Zhong immediately threw down the wine glass in his hand and hurried to the north gate of Xinye City, and as soon as he saw Fu Tong, he asked loudly.

At this time, Yi Yuan also rushed over, and when he heard Cai Zhonghao unceremoniously reprimanding Fu Tong, he didn't say anything, and stood quietly alone, waiting for the two to make a big deal before he took the initiative to come forward to persuade the two.

"Don't worry, listen to my explanation." Fu Tong didn't get angry, and then explained, "Cai Junwei, Yi Juncheng, the two of you must also know that now, many counties in the north of Nanyang County have been occupied by the Cao thief. At this time, I heard Liu Xuzhou say that Cao Jun's sudden withdrawal from Xuzhou this time must have been defeated.

Therefore, Ben Taishou took advantage of the new defeat of Cao's army and had no time to take care of it, so he was ready to send troops to attack these counties and capture as many of them as possible. What do you think? ”
