Liu Bei set up hundreds of recruitment points in several cities, and they began to recruit troops at the same time, and it was expected that they could recruit 60,000 people in two days, and then they would have an army of 100,000.

Early in the morning, we started to get the recruiting points ready.

Half an hour later, only a few people applied.

"No, why so little?" The disparity in numbers is so strange to them.

It can be said that almost no one came to a few recruitment points, and it was deserted, which was not at all the scene that recruitment should have.

Several of the leaders in charge felt that it was really strange, and at first they thought that something was wrong with them, so they hurriedly went to a nearby point to take a look.

"Oh, Commander Mu, you don't even have a figure here."

"I'm also strange, Commander Xu, it's not that we haven't recruited soldiers and horses, we used to be crowded, but why is there no one here."

The two of them felt strange, and quickly went to other places to take a look, but the result was the same, and few people came.

"Commander Mu, could it be that someone is making trouble?" Commander Xu felt strange, he had never encountered such a thing.

"It must be, maybe it's the spies left by Zhang Yu who are doing the trick."

When the two discussed, they felt that it was too strange, and they had never encountered money that could not recruit soldiers.

"Commander Mu, we might as well send someone to the street to publicize and put the copper coins out, I think Zhang Yudu's spies don't dare to come out openly to oppose it, if they really dare to come out, we will arrest them at that time." The surname Xu Du said.

"Okay, let's go and spread the word."

had to find a way, they couldn't keep being like this, so the two of them each sent their own soldiers and horses to publicize.

The soldiers divided into groups of several and headed out into the surrounding streets, where they propagandized.

"Hey, hey, why are you hiding, come and see, take a look."

"Lord Liu has recruited, Lord Liu knows, it is a top elder in virtue."

"Our Lord Liu loves the people like a son, and it is absolutely right to join him under his command."

"Our salaries are very high... Don't go, listen to me. ”

A few soldiers worked hard to propagate, but no one paid attention to them and avoided them.

This made them very strange, in the past, recruitment was very popular, this time, they were very puzzled.

There are soldiers who directly carry a load of copper coins to the street.

"Come, come, look, look."

"Recruitment, recruitment, once hired, the settling-in allowance will be issued immediately."

"Come on, don't want to recruit when it's full, don't want it when it's full."

"Brother, come and have a look."

The soldiers went to the streets to publicize, but the effect was still there, and in half a day, more than 200 recruits were recruited in a city.

Yes, more than 200 recruits were recruited, and the other cities were similar, so they couldn't recruit many people.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei almost jumped up when they heard the news.

In the past, when they recruited soldiers and horses, they didn't have to go out on their own, as long as they grasped the overall situation.

Now this time, it's really weird.

When Guan Yu heard the news, he immediately took someone out to check the news.

Guan Yu began to investigate the reason, walked around the capital he was in charge of, and found that it was not his own soldiers who had a problem, but something else.

But Guan Yu couldn't understand why it was so difficult to recruit troops here.

Is it really the people left by Zhang Yu who work?

Even if it were, it would only be a small part, and it would definitely not be that they would not be able to find soldiers and horses everywhere.

This is so unusual.

Guan Yu sent someone to contact Zhang Fei and reported to Liu Bei.

The same is true for Zhang Fei's side, who only recruited more than 100 people in one day.

If this is usual, not to mention tens of thousands, there are also thousands.

Guan Yu went out for a turn, it was already dark, and the recruitment could only be carried out the next day, but the results of today's whole day made his heart full of feelings.

As soon as Zhang Feitian got dark, he rushed to find Guan Yu.

"Second brother, you said that the evil sect is not an evil sect, and more than a hundred people are recruited in a day, how can we explain to the eldest brother." Zhang Fei said.

Guan Yu didn't answer, stroked his beard and thought quietly.

He didn't understand how easy it was to recruit troops, and he didn't know how many people wanted to come when he said hello.

But here, they also sent people to the street to shout for a long time, and the result was still so bleak.

"Third brother, send more sergeants to recruit tomorrow, and let some soldiers from the Spirit Point disguise themselves as ordinary people to find out the news, and we must find out the reason." Guan Yu couldn't figure out why for a long time.

Zhang Fei was also in a hurry, he had never seen such a strange thing.

The next day, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei went to the recruitment point in person early in the morning.

As the day before, the scene was deserted, and many people passed by, but at most they glanced at it and ignored it, as if they were not there.

"General, most of the more than 200 people recruited yesterday did not come, and even the settling-in allowance was returned."

In the morning, the soldier reported the situation to Guan Yu, and Guan Yu's red face was about to turn black.

I finally recruited more than 200 people, and after a night, none of these people came.

If it weren't for the fear that Liu Bei's reputation would be damaged, he would have wanted to lead someone to arrest these people, which was really annoying.

But in the end, Guan Yu endured it.

Liu Bei is still counting materials from place to place, and there are too many things in several cities.

Liu Bei didn't take the information from Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to heart, he thought that they had just conquered these cities, and it was normal for the people here to be afraid and resistant.

It doesn't take two days to get around.

The most important thing for him now is to collect the scrapes, count all the materials here, and then sell them, so that he can have the money to recruit troops and expand his strength.

Liu Bei is quite positive, not only quick statistics, but also sent people to contact buyers.

Many of the materials in it are not directly usable, they must be sold for money.

But Liu Bei is not worried, everything here is hard currency, and he doesn't have to worry about not being able to sell it.

According to some statistics, Liu Bei is happy.

"If you can attack Jiangdong, then it will really happen."

Liu Bei's heart surged slightly, he alone would never be able to attack Jiangdong, but now there are Sun Ce and Yuan Shu, if they attack Jiangdong, then Liu Bei can also take the opportunity to make some benefits.

Liu Bei has been poor for half his life, he only has a straw mat at the beginning, and his equipment is all flickering, if he can grab it this time, he will naturally not give up.

Liu Bei thought about how to strengthen himself, and happily counted materials everywhere.

However, what he didn't know was that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei investigated for a long time, and his face became darker and darker.

After investigating for a long time, there was no Zhang Yu left the spies here to make trouble, it was completely for other reasons, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei didn't know what to say for a while, let alone what to do.

The two of them planned to let the soldiers go out to collect more information, and then report to Liu Bei at night.
