Wang Fu said to Zhang Xian:

"This Ma Yan was originally a native of Yanchang, originally a family of Jiangmen, well-read since he was a child, followed his father to learn Tao strategy, and was an old man and military advisor many years ago. Later, because of the Diaoyutai War, the old man was squeezed out by Jia Nidao, and he was also implicated, and a military advisor was transferred to Jingjiang by Jia Nidao to be a small guard! But this person is resolute and resolute, full of wisdom, Sichuan Diaoyutai battle, Ma Yan also helped to give advice, participated in it, the temple calculation ability is also second to none, the most important thing is that he has been fed up with the toss of traitors over the years, compared to Wen Tianxiang, I believe he is more able to accept our style of acting. ”

After hearing this, Zhang Xian stood up and said:

"Oh, how many treasures does Lord Wang have, such talents, please ask Lord Wang to help us recruit and recruit, now we are extremely short of talents, no talents, no matter how good the grand plan is, it is just talk on paper."

Wang Fu smiled and said:

"Ma Yan this person and I are originally old, a letter will definitely come, but this person is very angry, originally Jia Yidao promised him a high-ranking official Houlu, to betray the old man, he refused, this was Jia Yidao to the remote Jingjiang to be a small guard, he wants to test the lord, and is unwilling to accept the test of the lord, even the old man was the same as he was tested by him back then."

When Zhang Xian heard Wang Fu say this, he suddenly became curious in his heart and asked:

"Hahaha, this is interesting, I don't know what problem this horse has tested the adults in the first place?"

Seeing that Zhang Xian was curious, Wang Fu also smiled and said:

"This Ma Yan is a long story, and I only met Yu Yu in the relationship between the adults in Sichuan to pacify the system. At that time, the brothers Banzhou Ran Jin and Ran Pu, who were well-known for their literary talents and martial arts, lived in seclusion in the barbarian region. Several foreign generals were recruited before and after, and they resolutely refused to take up their posts.

Later, they heard that Yu Yu was virtuous and was willing to talk to Lord Yu Yu. So he went to the Shuaifu. Yu Jue had heard of the good name of the Ran brothers, and when he saw the worship stickers, he invited the Ran brothers into the mansion and immediately met with them, giving them equal courtesy and giving them the treatment of exquisite residences. The Ran brothers accepted it with a normal mentality, and after a few months, they didn't have any useful advice for Lord Yu to talk about.

Yu Jue was ready to greet them and ask for advice, so he set up a banquet for them. Yu Jue personally presided over the banquet, and when the wine was drunk, the guests present vied with each other to talk about their clever plans, while the Ran brothers just drank and dined.

Yu Jue guided them with subtle words, but in the end the two brothers remained silent. In fact, Lord Yu Yu understood: "These two brothers are just testing whether he is sincere to the soldiers." The next day, Lord Yu asked the two brothers to move to a more luxurious residence, and sent people to secretly observe their actions every day. The people sent to find that the Ran brothers did not speak all day, but just squatted face to face, drew some pictures of mountains, rivers and cities on the ground with chalk, and smeared them after getting up.

After a few more days, the two brothers of the Ran family took the initiative to find Lord Yu and offered to protect the southwest: advocating "migrating to Hezhou City". They analyzed and said, "The land of the situation in Shu, if the Diaoyu Mountain, please migrate here, if you let the people, each Su guards it, the virtuous is more than 100,000 divisions, and Bashu is not enough to defend it!" This is the battle of Diaoyutai that the old man later became famous for! ”

Zhang Xian heard Wang Fu say this and asked:

"Lord Wang, presumably this Ma Yan and the Er Ran brothers must have some origins, right? Otherwise, Lord Wang wouldn't have talked about them! ”

Wang Fu laughed, nodded and said:

"The adults are really young talents, and they all think of what the old man is going to say! That's right, this Ma Yan is the mentor of the Erran brothers! This method of testing Lord Yu Yu is actually Professor Ma Yan's! Back then, there were many fierce generals around the old man but no effective military division, Lord Yu Yu just recommended Ma Yan to the old man, in order to invite Ma Yan, the old man really looked at the thatched house! That Ma Yan is in the land of Bashu, and he lives in a barbarian land with the Erran brothers, but the old man was hit by the poisonous miasma twice before he invited this Mr. Ma Yan.

When Mr. Ma Yan arrived at Diaoyutai, he cooperated with the old man to start arranging defenses, and Ma Yan also predicted that other military towns in the land of Bashu, because there was no defense worthy of a war, would sooner or later fall to the Tartars, so he purchased a large amount of grain, grass and weapons in advance, and sent people to contact the retreat routes of the generals in these places. Sure enough, after the Qin, Gong, Li, Lang and other prefectures of Bashu fell to the Tartar Mengge, the soldiers and civilians from all over the country came here one after another to gather, and the Diaoyu City became an important town where hundreds of thousands of people lived, which played a great role in the old man's killing of Meng Ge, disrupting the pace of the Tartars' annexation of my Great Song Dynasty, and continuing the Song Dynasty's national Zuo, so this person, the old man suggested that the adults could use it! ”

Zhang Xian clapped his hands and said:

"Of course, this official will reuse such talents, and I hope that this official can pass the test of Mr. Ma Yan and do a great job together! , and ask Lord Wang to go home early, and write a letter to ask this Zhuge figure to help! ”

Wang Fu laughed, his lord did things neatly and neatly, which is indeed an important advantage of those who have achieved great things, Wang Fu said to Zhang Xian:

"Okay, okay, the old man will go back and write, I said earlier that I went to see the Nether Wolf Ride, let's go tomorrow! In the past two days, we have to solve the problem of the adult's guard, after all, my lord, you are now the commander of the Wurui Army of the emperor's Qinfeng, and we are the combat soldiers, you can't count on it for the time being, and you have to continue to temper in actual combat while suppressing bandits, while making up for the recent gap. ”

Wang Fu looked at Zhang Xian and continued:

"Now there is still a problem, that is, around this Yangzhou City, reliable and healthy people, we have almost recruited, after all, the standard of our recruitment is really one in a hundred, one in a thousand, and then to recruit, I am afraid that we can only lower the standard, otherwise it will be difficult to recruit such a good soldier as the current Wu Ruijun."

After listening to what Wang Fu said, Zhang Xian nodded and said:

"What Lord Wang said is very true, our standard for recruiting sergeants is indeed very high, but we must not lower the standard, we would rather lack than abuse! This is the principle. Hey, Lord Wang, you see that we have suppressed bandits, and tens of thousands of bandits have been dropped, and many of them are people with high martial arts and strong bodies, if you choose one from this, ....."

Before Zhang Xian finished speaking, Wang Fu seemed to be in a hurry and said:

"Lord Zhang means to select troops from among the bandits? What a risky move! If these bandits make trouble, they will be in big trouble! ”

Zhang Xian shook his head, thinking that in later generations, there were many generals and bandits who established immortal feats, and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea made the Americans tremble, and the Long Live Army with great military achievements was not also an army anyway? A famous general like Wang Jian, he has a strategic vision, but I have to say that he also has the ideological limitations of this era, Zhang Xian said to Wang Fu:

"There is some truth in what Lord Wang said, but throughout history, among the green forests and bandits, there are also people in the narrow sense, if the official remembers it well, then the Erran brothers of Bashu also received the help of bandits when they were children, so they were able to survive in troubled times. Of course, we recruited these bandits, not because of height and weight, but because of martial arts. Instead, we have to choose from these bandits who have poor families, parents or wives and children who are alive, and who have been coerced or forced to make green forests, and we recruit the best of these people.

In addition, why did we have to recruit local people who knew the roots? That is to hope to use a group of convenient shaping, loyalty, order and prohibition of the backbone, with this group of backbones in the future in the development of new forces, for example, a drop of ink is very black, if it drip into a basin of red pig blood, the black will also be dyed red, this is the truth that the ink is black, and the Zhu is red. We only need to disrupt the geographical boundaries of these bandits, and the brothers in the same place need to be scattered into the battalions, and through the thorough and sincere dredging of the thoughts of these bandits, the test is qualified and then added to our Wu Rui Army, and if the conditions are good, they can also let their parents take over and settle down, or it won't be long before they will feel that they are originally part of the Wu Rui Army. ”

Wang Fu was obviously persuaded by Zhang Xian again, and said:

"Hehe, hey, I said Master Zhang, where did you get this idea? Although it sometimes feels unreasonable, I have to say that it does make sense, so the old man will implement it as soon as possible. ”

When sending Wang Fu away, Zhang Xian found that Nianxin was already waiting at the door. As soon as the evening breeze blew, a few strands of green silk curled on Nianxin's delicate face, and Nianxin looked at Zhang Xian obsessively. During this time, Zhang Xian was busy because he often suppressed bandits, but he neglected Nianxin, Zhang Xian pulled Nianxin over, gently stroked Nianxin's hair that was blown by the wind, and said:

"It's so late, the lady doesn't have to wait for me, I'll go back when I'm done with my husband."

Nianxin raised his head, looked at Zhang Xian with big watery eyes, gently pursed his two delicate lips and said:

"What did Xianggong say, Xianggong was born and died, not all for our family, but the concubine couldn't help Xianggong! Waiting for Xianggong is the happiest thing for me in this day, because the concubine is by Xianggong's side, I can watch Xianggong do things, and I know in my heart that Xianggong has always been by my side. It feels safe and grounded! ”

Zhang Xian was hit by Nianxin's words and hit the deepest emotion in his heart, and suddenly thought of the Great Song Qinguan's "Queqiao Immortal", Zhang Xian sang softly:

"The clouds are clever, the flying stars spread hatred, and the silver man is dark.

As soon as the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win and there are countless people in the world.

Tenderness is like water, the best period is like a dream, and you can endure the return of the Magpie Bridge.

If the two love for a long time, how can they be there, morning and twilight? ”

After listening to Zhang Xian's singing and harmony, Queqiao Immortal felt like eating honey in his heart, and said with a smile:

"Xianggong means that the love between our husband and wife is stronger than Jin, and if you want a concubine, you don't have to worry about your husband all the time, is that what it means?"

Zhang Xian said seriously:

The lady's words are wrong, and she sings "Queqiao Immortal" with Qin Guan for her husband, the focus is on this sentence: As soon as the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win and there are countless people in the world. Xianggong and I are naturally the golden wind, lady, you are the jade dew, when we meet at night, we will win countless in the world! Don't you say, lady? Hahahaha! ”

Nianxin was teased by Zhang Xian, her face turned crimson, as if she had thought of something, and she raised her mouth and said:

"Xianggong is playing tricks on people again, I originally planned to tell you about Wang Yuyao's sister to Xianggong, but now the concubine is angry and doesn't want to tell Xianggong about you!"
