The strict prohibition of over-closing is considered a good government of Xu Chuxing, and of course it cannot be taken back. Xun Chen used this to threaten because Xu Chu's control over the counties was too weak and could not be compared with the family at all.

The words came out of Xun Chen's mouth, and then through Xun Chen's yin eyes, Xu Chu seemed to feel the message from the Chen clan of Xu County, the Yingyin Xun clan and other clans - we can help you sit on the position of Taishou, and we can also pull you down from above.

"Yuan Zhi." Xu Chu said to Xu Shu, "Judging from the county's usage, it is possible to allocate 10,000 stone grain?" ”

Xu Shu said: "Everywhere you have to use grain, 10,000 stones...... Hard. But if it's tight, five thousand stones should be fine. ”

Xun Chen didn't care how much grain he could take out of the county, as long as the meaning conveyed through this incident arrived, he said: "Five thousand stones are also fine, but please Yuan Zhi set aside it as soon as possible." ”

After the matter was completed here, there was no need to say much about the commander-in-chief of Xun Chen, Du You and others who went south to Yanxian County to reinforce Huang Wan.

The next day, Chen Yi came to report that Li Ping had brought someone over early in the morning and was asking to see him outside the Taishou Mansion. Li Ping did what he said, scattered all his family wealth, only kept the house, and helped Xu Chu recruit more than 30 light chivalrous servants. Although the family is only middle-class, there are no scarce weapons such as horses and armor, and more than 30 people only carry short knives, bows and arrows and other equipment, Xu Chu is still very happy.

"Li Jun does what he says, I really didn't see the wrong person!" Holding Li Ping's hand, Xu Chu invited him to go to the military camp in the west of the city. There was talk and laughter all the way, and after arriving in the west of the city, I found that Guo Jia and Xi Zhong were also there, and they were talking about something with Dian Wei.

Thinking that the two of them were concerned about the training, they asked after saying hello, it turned out that Guo Jia and Xi Zhong went to the west of the city yesterday and have stayed until now.

Because Xi Zhong had seen the drills of the Tiger Guard Battalion, he had a slight improvement in the combat strength of the army under Xu Chu, and when he saw Xu Chu, he first praised Dian Wei.

The general of the tiger and wolf, the soldier of the bear and the tiger, dare to die first, and risk the blade.

This is a great compliment, Xi Zhong's personality has been known to everyone for a few days, he is an almost 'mean' person, and it is very rare to hear compliments from his mouth.

When Guo Jia saw Li Ping and others, because he was a fresh face, he asked where he came from. Knowing that it was a little Haoqiang recruited by Xu Chu from Dongxiangli, Guo Jia was very relieved. Not for Li Ping himself, but for Xu Chu to be kind as a stream, he has begun to personally recruit private subordinates.

Compared with letting Wang Yan, Gan Ning and others recruit warriors for Dian Wei, the biggest advantage of doing it yourself is that Li Ping and others do not recognize others emotionally, only Xu Chu. Completely tying the future and fate of his command to himself is the basis for people to follow to the death.

But it is not possible to win over thoroughly and not bother to get along. Guo Jia suggested that Xu Chu settle down in the barracks and personally supervise the drills of the new soldiers.

Xu Chu said: "What Feng Xiao said is reasonable, but there are political affairs, and they are also dealt with in the barracks." ”

Not long after, people from the Zhang clan also came. The leader was Zhang Ting, who first went to the Taishou Mansion to ask for a meeting, and after learning that Xu Chu had arrived in the west of the city, he came to the west of the city to meet him without stopping.

The strength of the Zhang clan far surpassed that of Li Ping, and Zhang Ting brought nearly two hundred people, of which there were more than a dozen young people of appropriate age in the clan, and the others were attached to the family's disciples.

Zhang Ting was in his thirties, according to Xu Chu's understanding, he had gone out to study in his early years and worshiped under the Hongnong Liu family. It's just that his talent is limited, so his reputation is not obvious. However, in this era, there is a world of difference between reading and not reading.

After meeting Xu Chu, Zhang Ting introduced the young people in the clan. Half of the dozen or so people want to join the army, and half want to be in politics. These are all easy to do, Xu Chu's Zao Yi, Xu Shu, Zhang Feng and other Cao, there are still vacancies for Cao Shi and Shuzuo, and miscellaneous officials. Cao Shi is in a heavy position, and only Zhang Ting can barely afford it. Although the junior official is also the right position in the county, there are more elements of training people, and those who are willing to serve in politics can temporarily occupy the position of small officials who do not enter the stream.

This group of people can enrich the personnel in Xu Chu's mansion, but what Xu Chu values more are those who are willing to join the army. The Zhang clan has a scholarly fragrance, and the understanding of the young people in these clans will be a head higher than that of ordinary people, and if they can't cultivate a good student, they can slowly become the backbone of the army.

With the addition of this group of people, the matter of training cannot be delayed. The established policy of sending troops to Chen Chen has been decided, and although it can be postponed, the time must not be delayed until a month away.

For five days in a row, Xu Chu lived in the camp and got along with the soldiers day and night. During the period, he received news that Dong Zhuojun was ordered to march, and now he has arrived at Mianchi, approaching Hangu Pass; Ding Yuan's department also went to Heyang and Boxian, and will soon be in Mengjin; Qiaomao's army also went from Dongjun to Changyuan in Chenliu's territory. There was also a letter from Gan Ning, who attacked Yangcheng with a few words, and was eager to make meritorious contributions.

The movements of Dong Zhuo, Ding Yuan and Qiao Mao made Xu Chu feel pressure.

Xu Chu replied to Gan Ning, telling him not to be impatient, Yangcheng Li Min was eager not to move.

After another three days, good news finally came. On the one hand, some Haoqiang in the county who heard about Li Ping's deeds continued to bring people to work, and on the other hand, they unexpectedly received two letters. These two letters are like a long drought and a rain for Xu Chu, one is signed by Jiangxia Chen Boxu, and the other is signed by Shanyang Li Xiaocheng.

The letter from Jiangxia was sent by Chen Yi, because he had been responsible for finding out the news everywhere, Jiangxia County was adjacent to Runan, not too far, so he accidentally met a person with lofty ideals.

Shanyang's side is because of Lejin's relationship. Lejin traveled to Yanzhou in his early years, traveled all over Yanzhou alone, and when he arrived in Shanyang County, he became acquainted with Li Chuan and Li Xiaocheng. Later, Yang Zhai avoided crime because of things, and occasionally had correspondence with Li Quan.

Xu Chu only regarded the two of them as ordinary people at first, until after careful questioning, he realized that although these two people were unknown to him in his previous life, they were also famous figures at that time.

First, Chen Yi said Chen Gong and Chen Boxu. Chen Gong's local fame is similar to that of 'Xu Chu' when he was in Runan. Xu Chu blocked tens of thousands of people for Huang Wan, and Chen Gong also broke the thieves for Wang Rui. It's a pity that the fate of the two later diverged, Xu Chu made a mistake, and now he is worth 2,000 stones, and Chen Gong was snubbed because Wang Rui didn't like rangers in his bones, and he was only paid by a township in Pingchun County because of his merits.

In this way, after hearing Xu Chu's name, Chen Gong moved his mind. In the letter to Chen Yi, he expressed his heart slightly, and there were words in his words to send charcoal to Xu Yingchuan in the snow.

It can be seen from this that this Chen Gong is not only courageous, but also has a bright brain. He thought that Xu Chu would not be treated by the scholar class in Yingchuan, so he had the saying of 'sending charcoal in the snow'.

Guo Jia and Xi Zhong have never heard of Chen Gong, but they know a little about Wang Rui, the assassin of Jingzhou. Wang Rui is a celebrity, erudite and talented, and has a clear reputation in the sea. But Xu Chu knew the atmosphere of the late Han Dynasty, the so-called celebrities, most of them were touted by the scholars themselves, judging from Wang Rui's refusal of Gan Ning not even to see faces, it should be the same as Yin Xiu, a scribe who is unwilling to reuse martial artists. Chen Gong was able to get an official seal because he did not have too obvious bad deeds in the past, unlike Gan Ning, who crisscrossed rivers and plundered merchant ships.

Xu Chu didn't think much about it, wrote a handwritten letter, and sincerely invited Chen Gong to come to Yingchuan, and the letter said that Gan Ning and Dian Wei were treated after they came to Yingchuan, and immediately asked Chen Yi to send someone over. Whether this letter can make Chen Gong abandon the official and defect, Xu Chu does not know. But since people have thrown out an olive branch, they think it will be successful.

After Xi Zhong learned the ins and outs, he asked Chen Yi to wait for a while, and said to Xu Chu: "Since Chen Gong is famous in Jiangxia County, it is not comparable to Li Pingyong's talent. Therefore, Zhong thought that a letter was far from enough, and sent his cronies to Dengyong. If not, take it wisely. ”

Chen Yi listened to it and agreed with Xi Zhongdao: "Xi Jun is right, in addition to Chen Gong, there is another person named Li Tong in Jiangxia, whose character is Wenda, and he is as famous as him. Li Tong is young and courageous, famous for his heroic righteousness in the Jiang and Ru areas, and hundreds of righteous servants are gathered around him. ”
