After discussing with everyone, Xu Chu has the meaning of 'reforming himself'. In the afternoon of this day, Xun Chen, Xun Yue, Zhong Jin, Zhang Li and Du You were called to say that they were responsible for leading the Tuntian in the eight counties south of Yingshui.

It didn't take long to play the right thing, and after going out, Xun Chen said to everyone: "Wuzhi will visit us in the near future." ”

When everyone heard this, they all said that it was so. Xu Chu suddenly took a big step back, ceding the eight counties of Tuntian to the Shi clan, in addition to easing the relationship with the Shi clan, the most important thing was to deal with Huang Wan's request for help.

They were not idle during this time, because Xu Chu delegated power and stuffed many children of the scholar clan as subordinates in the counties, coupled with their prestige in the county, as long as Xu Chu was willing to give a part of the grain, it was really as Guo Jia said - he could raise 5,000 righteous servants in a moment.

This deal should be a good deal.

……

……

Xu Chu went to visit Cai Yong again, chatted until the evening, and then returned to his home. On the second day's trip, Xu Chu decided to go to his wife Zhang Ying's maiden home 'Dongxiangli'. Not for anything else, just for the sentence of Xi Zhong: Even the Zhang clan is not promoted.

The next day, the sun was shining, Xu Chubao was dressed in gorgeous clothes, and Chen Yi took a soldier with him, and he took his wife to Dongxiangli. The fanfare is the reason that the main purpose of this move forward is to recruit the Zhangjia side branch and the strong in the middle, Xu Chu did this, undoubtedly giving enough face to those who were recruited, whether they were willing to come to Xu Chu's account or not, at least they would feel that their faces were bright.

When I arrived at Zhang's house, I met Mrs. Zhang. When Mrs. Zhang heard Xu Chu's intentions, she snorted: "You elm head, you finally have an enlightened day." "The old lady married her granddaughter to Xu Chu, what is the picture? You Xu Chu was just a county order at that time, and he was still crumbling, with no talent or reputation, didn't he just hope that you Xu Chu would support each other with the Zhang family after he sat firmly?

The clan in-laws don't know how to take advantage of it, and Mrs. Zhang has been counting Xu Chu behind his back these days.

Xu Chusheng was resented by Mrs. Zhang, so he left Zhang Ying to accompany the old man to chat, and took someone to Lizhong himself.

Dongxiangli since the decline of the Zhang family, I don't know how many years have not been'2000 stones' to come, Xu Chu Jiashi treasure car arrived, the inside was shaken, especially young people, basically came to see the excitement.

Chen Yi likes to make friends with light heroes, and he knows some heroes in Dongxiang. Among them, there is a person named Li Ping, who is very active in this generation, and has drunk a few meals with Chen Yi, which can be regarded as a friendship.

Xu Chu ordered to stay put, deliberately asking people to inquire about Li Ping's personality. The three of them went separately to inquire, and replied to Xu Chu after a pillar of incense.

This Li Ping is actually a small landlord. Because the family is still wealthy, he often helps those down-to-earth light heroes, so he has a reputation of 'good righteousness and righteousness'. However, looking at his life, there is nothing else outstanding, as Chen Yi said, Li Pingren is as his name, martial arts are mediocre, wisdom is mediocre, just advocating chivalry.

Xu Chu bowed his head and asked, "Li Ping can be at home?" ”

The soldier reported: "Li Ping drank until he was drunk last night, and he is still asleep at home. ”

Xu Chu then said to Chen Yi: "I will go to Li Ping's house first, and then visit the side branch of the Zhang family in Lizhong." ”

The group rushed to Li Ping's house, followed by a large number of young people far behind, and before anyone arrived, a guest from Li's family had already informed Li Ping, saying that it was too guarded and the car seemed to be coming in the direction of home.

Li Ping was woken up in a daze, and was greatly surprised when he heard what the doorman said. Lost color and said: "Is it really too guarded to drive?" ”

The doorman replied: "Jia Shihua car, and Chen Jun, the head of the mansion pavilion who knows you, is accompanied by the guards, who else can there be!" ”

Li Ping was overjoyed as if he was in a dream. Because there were ordinary farmers in the vicinity except him, the car drove in this direction, and nine times out of ten they came to his house.

"Go get some water, get your clothes, I'm going to take care of it!"

......, after Xu Chu arrived, he got out of the car unhurriedly and looked at Li Ping's house through the courtyard gate.

The yard is not big or small, with some farm tools and sticks, and a few houses are only blocking ordinary people's houses, and a shed is set up on the left hand side, so that it is impossible to see whether the cows or horses are raised in it.

After looking at it for a while, I saw more than a dozen people coming out of the room, the first one was neatly dressed, his appearance was mediocre, and he bowed down to Xu Chu from afar, it should be 'Li Ping'.

Dozens of armor soldiers specially dispersed, leaving only a few people and Chen Yi followed Xu Chu into the courtyard. Seeing this, the people who followed came over boldly.

Xu Chu deliberately paused a few steps, looked around, and saw that the people rushed to the door, so he slowly walked in front of Li Ping and helped Li Ping up.

"But Li Jun in Dongxiangli?"

Xu Chu's voice was loud and gentle, which made people hear it clearly, but he didn't feel stern.

Li Ping's hands trembled and he was supported by Xu Chu, and it could be seen from his expression that he had not recovered from the surprise.

This is the guardian of a county! Li Ping was respected by the people, but in his lifetime, He was once held by a high-ranking official of '2,000 stones' and asked him kindly. He couldn't control his emotions, and replied in a trembling voice: "Xiao ...... Xiaomin ...... Precisely...... It's Li Ping. ”

The onlookers blocked the courtyard gate, and some young people even climbed the courtyard wall, and when they saw this scene, they all felt envious.

Xu Chu waited for Li to calm down before he said: "I have heard that Li Jun's name has been known for a long time, and when I came here today, I asked the people in Lizhong, and they all said that Li Jun was righteous and willing to help people I didn't know." It would be a pity not to serve the country if you are as virtuous as a king. ”

Li Ping was even more surprised, his lips moved, but he couldn't speak, so he was so anxious that he stomped his feet. It can be seen that this person is mediocre.

Xu Chu didn't wait for him to reply, and said to Chen Yi: "Ayi, now there is an urgent shortage of heroic and righteous men in the county, you can talk about it, with Li Jun's virtue, can you lead a team?" ”

Chen Yi made a generous statement and said passionately: "Li Ping has the chivalrous style of the ancients, of course he can!" ”

The two sang and harmonized, Mo said that Li Ping himself, the doormen next to him, and the people watching outside were all amazed.

Li Ping and they are very familiar with each other, and his ancestors left him a family property, so that he can help Qingxia and support his customers. However, he himself has no great ability, and the family property left by his ancestors is not much, and there are only a dozen disciples attached to these dozen people.

However, Taishou actually made him a team leader!

The position in the army is no better than others, and the commander who controls ten people is already a 'fighting food', and the team rate is already a 'hundred stones', although it is often uncommon in the special period of the late Han Dynasty, it still makes others red-eyed.

Li Ping held back for a long time, and finally was able to reply loudly: "Ping is willing to go to the soup for the king!" He bowed down to Xu Chu again.

Xu Chu helped him up again and said, "I first met you, you first met me, and you recommended me with your enthusiasm." Li Jun asked you to take care of the affairs of the house for three days, and then brought your guests to find the head of the mansion. ”

Li Ping's speech suddenly became sharp, and he said categorically: "No need, I can be a pawn of the prince, and my peace of mind is enough." A little furniture, what's the point? I am willing to scatter all my wealth and recruit warriors for the king! ”

To say that this Li Ping can give up the family business left by his ancestors so quickly and disperse to recruit soldiers, it can also be called decisive.

Xu Chu didn't brush off his kindness, said a few words of encouragement, and turned around to leave. The onlookers dispersed, the first soldier opened the way, Xu Chu stepped out of the courtyard door, and left in a car amid the amazed eyes of the crowd, to find Zhang's side branch in Dongxiangli.

After this singing, the scene at that time was passed on by the onlookers and Li Pingmen, and soon it spread all over Yanling County, and then spread to all parts of the county and nearby counties. The local Haoyou then knew that Xu Chu was 'thirsty for talent' to this point, and a small landlord in the middle of the room promised the position of team leader. So those who thought they were stronger than Li Ping inevitably had some interest in joining the army under Xu Chu.
