"If that's the case, there's only one way out." Yan Zhanshu no longer hesitated, "King Wu, I have a word. Yan Zhanshu turned to the front of Yan Baihu and said solemnly with his fists clenched.

Seeing that Yan Zhanshu was so solemn, Yan Baihu put down the pig's leg in his hand, wiped his mouth, and sat down: "Zhanshu, please speak." ”

"My Yan clan military generals are only two kings of Wu and Yan Xing, and there are even fewer scribes, only me, to achieve great things, it is too far away!" Seeing that Yan Baihu was a little puzzled, Yan Zhanshu explained in detail: "Because the family is an old fox, they will not contribute when the future of my Yan family is uncertain." Don't look at our Yan family is also a family, in fact, we are in a competitive relationship with them, not a friend relationship. The children of the family are talented, but they are not available! ”

"Not bad! You can see the exhibition book very clearly. That's why I don't dare to stay away from Wu County, because I'm afraid of a fire in the backyard! "Yan Baihu is not stupid." What do you have to do? ”

"I have a strategy, I don't know if King Wu dares to use it?" Yan Zhanshu probably memorized the "recruitment order" he remembered.

"Xi Yizhi and Fu said that they were sluts, Guan Zhong, and Huan Gong thieves were all used for fun. Xiao He, Cao Shen, county officials, Han and Chen Ping bear the name of insult, have the shame of laughing, and can achieve the royal industry, and the reputation has been known for thousands of years. Wu Qi was greedy, killed his wife and was confident, scattered gold to seek officials, and his mother died and did not return, but in Wei, the Qin people did not dare to go east, and in Chu, the three Jin did not dare to seek south. ”

Yan Baihu looked at Yan Zhanshu in shock, today's Yan Zhanshu gave him too much shock, but he still waited excitedly for the following: "Today, there are no virtuous people in the people, and they are brave and brave to fight against the enemy; If the civil and vulgar officials are highly talented and heterogeneous, they may be worthy of guarding; In the name of humiliation, laughter, or unkindness and filial piety and the art of governing the country and using soldiers: what they know, do not leave anything behind! ”

After hearing this, Yan Baihu was excited, stood up, paced back and forth, and kept praising in his mouth: "Zhanshu, now I really think that you are really far-reaching, really my Yan's phoenix, I have already passed, you are not yet twenty this year, and I have a successor to the Yan family!" There was also hesitation: "It's just that there are talented and unvirtuous people among them, right?" ”

Yan Zhanshu replied: "King Wu, the current son of the family, you can't use it, patriarch, and you don't dare to use it!" If you want to fight for the dragon, you must gather the strength of everyone, and you can only hire the children of the poor family and even the children of the common people, their talents are slightly lacking, most of them are because they have no opportunity to obtain the civil and military knowledge that the family has, and their natural qualifications are not inferior to the children of the family! There are also statuses and official positions, all of which are the capital that my Yan clan has recruited from them! ”

After turning left and right a few times, Yan Baihu Huo Ran stood still, looking up at Yan Zhanshu's expectant eyes, "With this miracle, even if it can't help my Yan clan reach the top, it can greatly extend my Yan clan's qi, at least this Jiangdong is occupied by my Yan clan!" ”

After pacing two steps, he asked, "This proclamation is called the Meritocracy Order, what do you think of the book?" ”

"King Wu can decide this matter for himself!" Yan Zhanshu will not repeat it.

"Come on, prepare a document, I will issue a meritocracy order! Spread to Koto! ”

The notice was posted, and public opinion was in an uproar for a while. After looking at Pan Zhang, Pan Wengui, Xu Sheng, and Xu Wenxiang, the strong men who crossed Nandu from Xuzhou, their hearts were touched, and the originally confused future seemed to have a goal, and they turned to Taishoufu; Ling Cao, a local hero in Wu County, saw it and decided to go to have a look; After Zhu Huan and Gu Yong, who were children of the family, saw it, they sighed and said, "There are also great talents in the Yan family!" The number of qi is undecided, and it cannot be quickly broken. Zhuge Jin and Bu Qi, who were Yan Zhen's best friends, saw it, stroked their palms and smiled: "This must be my friend's work!" Let's take a look! ”

Yan Zhanshu hung a banner on the edge of the Taishou Mansion, wrote the words "Meritocracy", and sat in the town in person, waiting for the civil and military generals in his heart to take the bait. The training of soldiers and horses is far less important than recruiting strong martial artists. Thousands of troops are easy to get, and it is difficult to find a general, and in this era when the general's ability is so strong that it becomes more prominent!

In less than two days, Wen had Zhuge Jin and Bu Qi to vote, and Wu had Pan Zhang, Xu Sheng, and Ling Cao to vote, all of whom were warmly received by Yan Zhanshu and introduced Yan Baihu, and then arranged for Zhuge Jin and Bu Qi to serve as the governor of Wu County respectively, and the chief bookkeeper presided over political affairs, grain and grass logistics affairs respectively; Pan Zhang, Xu Sheng, and Ling Cao were the lieutenants of Zhongyi, the thieves, and the Fenwei lieutenants, and each led 1,500 soldiers to begin the drill.

Another day later, Yan Baihu, Yan Xing, and Yan Zhanshu were eating and drinking, exploring the Malay newspaper, and the army of Huiji Wang Lang had bypassed Haiyan and went straight to Wu County, which was only one day away from Wu County.

"The military is in charge of Yan Xing and Zhanshu, I just need to improve my strength." Yan Baihu waved his hand, indicating that you should go and get busy, looking at such a brother, Yan Zhanshu was also speechless. Yan Xing said sincerely: "Zhanshu, you and I are brothers of the same generation, I am a rough person, I only know how to fight, you come to arrange everything." ”

Well, these are all good teammates, Yan Zhanshu is very comforted in his heart, at least not the kind of person who is wrong and does not repent.

Facing the three lieutenants of Pan Zhang, Xu Sheng, and Ling Cao, as well as the two scribes Zhuge Jin and Buqi, Yan Zhanshu stood up and arched his hand and said: "On the order of King Wu, I will preside over the battle against Wang Lang." Looking around at the six people: "At present, the news from Tanma is: "Wang Lang's 8,000 army bypassed Haiyan and went straight to Wu County, which is only one day away from Wu County." The main general is Wang Lang, the military division of the army is Yu Xuan, the forward is Dong Xi, the Chinese army is He Qi, Sheng Xian and Xu Gong are responsible for the grain and grass of the rear army, with 6,000 regular soldiers and 2,000 auxiliary soldiers. Everyone brainstormed, worked together, and coping together. ”

"The mountain road from Haiyan to Wu County is high and long, and Wang Lang's soldiers must be exhausted." Ling Cao, who was invited by Yan Zhanshu to discuss the matter, said with a smile.

"There are also people in Wang Lang's army who know the soldiers, and they will definitely want to camp and rest forty or fifty miles away from Wu County to restore the physical strength of the soldiers." Bu Qi estimated the opening.

"It's a pity that from Haiyan to Wu County, it is mostly a mountain road between the two mountains, the mountain is extremely steep, the widest place is only six people walking, and the mountain is gradually slowing down twenty miles outside Wu County, so there is a place to camp." Ling Cao, who used to be an Orion, was clear about the surrounding mountains of Wu County.

"The mountain is steep, can you ambush the troops?" Yan Zhanshu asked directly.

"No, the mountain is too high, even rolling rocks are difficult to produce a surprise effect, and it is even more impossible for soldiers to rush down from the mountain." Ling Cao shook his head slowly after thinking.

"Then we will send troops directly and take him by surprise at the mountain pass!" Pan Zhang's eyes lit up.

"The time for our army to send troops should be set before noon, eat first and then set out, there is no need to march in a hurry, and when we arrive at the enemy camp, the enemy army should be burying pots and cooking, and at the same time exhausted from marching and setting up camps." Xu Sheng spoke.

Looking at the four generals, Yan Zhanshu was overjoyed, sure enough, they were all famous figures in history, cultural relics and assets, delicate thoughts, enough to be independent.

"The ideas of the four lieutenants are all good, I will add a few more points." Zhuge Jin spoke: "All the way is a mountain road, presumably Wang Langjun has long been exhausted in order to guard against our army's ambush, and there is no ambush at the mountain pass, which will make them relax, once they are deflated, people will be weak all over the body, and attacking at this time will have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort." ”

Seeing that Yan Xing had no intention of speaking, Yan Zhanshu finally ordered: "General Yan is ambushing on the mountain pass on the left, and Zishan and his army division are leading the archers in the right mountain pass. At the same time, General Yan, you take advantage of the chaos to lead the army to attack, and go straight to the middle army, the so-called capture of the thief and the king, as long as Wang Lang captures, the army will be defeated! Ling Cao, Xu Sheng, when Wang Lang's army was ambushed, you were responsible for attacking the front, attracting the forwards, making it difficult for Dong Raid to come back to help, Pan Zhang, you detour more mountain roads, you must cut off the back road, and you must not let Sheng Xian, Xu Gong and others escape back to Huiji one by one! ”

Looking around at the four generals, "You don't have to train after you go back, let the soldiers recharge their energy and send out after breakfast!" ”

"Yes!" The three generals got up, clenched their fists and left.

"The exhibition book is very Confucian style!" Zhuge Jin quipped after seeing everyone disperse.

"Whether it succeeds or not, it depends on the progress of the war." Yan Zhanshu said modestly.

"Yes, since Zhanshu and I are going to lead the archers to attack, I will go to the camp first, determine some orders, and prepare some things to ignite the fire. Now it is the autumn and winter season, if you can attack with fire, you should have twice the effect with half the effort! Bu Qi spoke.

"Okay, I'll go with you." Yan Zhanshu also wanted to see what the ancient orders were.
