When it comes to the matter of Luoyang, presumably the officials in the county should also have points in their hearts. Since the eye medicine is sufficient, Xu Chu also took the opportunity to talk to Yao Sheng about the relationship with Danyang County.

This matter was completely planned by Zhou Xin, and from a logical point of view, Xu Chu is worthy of his heart. From the perspective of the situation, Zhou Xin's unsuccessful return, including the news of the rebellion from Huiji County, is a positive aspect for Xu Chu.

The Shanyue Rebellion, from a close point of view, endangered the interests of the Huiji clan and the political achievements of Chen Wen. From a distance, it will lead to tension in the whole of Yangzhou, and if it is not dealt with as soon as possible, there may also be turmoil in other counties. So Chen Wen and Zhou Xin are very nervous about this.

But this has nothing to do with Lujiang Taishou Xu Chu, if you insist on saying that there is, it is nothing more than that the state government will put pressure on him to ask for troops and food, and it is nothing more than to pay more attention to the thieves and heroes in the county.

Therefore, this negotiation took place in an unfair state.

In line with the mentality that it is not about himself, Xu Chu inevitably wants to make some benefits on Zhou Xin's side.

What Zhou Xin is worried about is whether Xu Chu will concoct it in the same way and plot against him in the same way; Or Xu Chu, a 'martial artist', will he be more radical, and in a fit of anger, he will raise troops to ask for guilt, so that he will not be able to step down.

Speaking of Zhou Xin, he was unlucky enough, originally relying on the Danyang soldiers, he felt that he was at ease, but unexpectedly, at the most critical moment, Shanyue came out and inadvertently helped Xu Chu a great favor. His family is in Huiji, and his foundation is in Huiji, and after becoming the Taishou of Danyang, a large number of county officials are also used from Huiji. Even if Zhou Xin 'broke the jar and broke it', he could ignore the rebellion of Huiji, and his henchmen would not agree.

Yao Sheng is a very good negotiator, at first he thought that Xu Chu was still young and would not be patient enough, but he took advantage of it, and he didn't want to wait for a few days, Xu Chu still consumed energy, but he couldn't consume it. If it drags on any longer, I am afraid that the officials under Zhou Xin will abandon their officials and return to their hometowns to help quell the chaos in their hometowns.

At this point, Yao Sheng directly said that Zhou Xin wanted to get rid of his previous suspicions with Xu Chu.

This is already a sign of weakness.

Some of the people in the hall are also Huijishi, and the chief bookkeeper Xie Zhen is their head. Although Xie Zhen went to Huiji County, the rest of the people would not sit idly by and watch their hometown suffer.

Therefore, Yao Sheng immediately said: "Shanyue gathered a crowd to commit crimes in the county, and a few days ago I received a letter from Danyang, Zhu Fu, the commander of the Huiji Prefecture, was defeated by the thief army in Wusheng County, and only three of the ten soldiers in the headquarters remained, and now they have returned to the county to govern Shanyin to regroup. ”

first showed weakness to seek sympathy, and then broke the fierce news to stimulate the auditors in the hall, as Yao Sheng wished, some officials in the hall stood up in shock and spoke to Xu Chu one after another.

Xu Chu stretched out his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and pretended to sigh: "I heard about this, and the government is also very sorry. It's just that one can't save the fire from far away, and the other doesn't have an order from the state government, and the government has no good plan. ”

You have a good plan, I have a wall ladder. Xu Chu lightly pushed the responsibility to Chen Wen's side, and the auditors in the hall had nothing to say, the state government had no order, and Xu Chu was really not good at sending troops. Moreover, even if Xu Chu sends troops to meet the army, is your Danyang Taishou willing to let Xu Chu cross the border?

Xu Chu said this, and another consideration was to use this incident to pull Chen Wen into this troubled water, so that he could most likely get a chance to have a face-to-face discussion with Chen Wen and Zhou Xin.

Of course, it was Xu Chu's temporary idea, but if he really had the opportunity to solve the big and small conflicts between him, Chen Wen and Zhou Xin at one time, why not do it.

Soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent; The same applies to political struggles. Between Xu Chu, Chen Wen and Zhou Xin, there is a relationship between political struggle and military conflict, Chen Wen and Zhou Xin both want to get the dominant power in Yangzhou, Xu Chu, as a new Taishou, does not want to become a vassal of the two, but wants to be different, this is the fundamental contradiction between the three.

When Yao Sheng heard the words 'state capital', he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and after thinking of a certain possibility, he smiled and said, "Does the prince want Uncle Fang to intervene?" I'm afraid that time is running out. "The mountain is jubilant, I'm afraid everyone doesn't have time to sit down and talk about it.

With Yao Shengzhizhi's wisdom, what he saw and heard after arriving in Shu County, he would not have thought of what Xu Chu, as a newcomer to Yuan Shao's party, wanted to do at this time. To be honest, he wants to be an adult a little bit, and he also wants to make up for his regret that he can't participate in this big event as Zhou Xin's subordinate.

Zhou Xin is 100% reluctant to leave Danyang, Yao Sheng knows very well - Danyang is too far away from Luoyang, and Zhou Xin's ambition is not in Kuang to help the world. It's a pity that the military situation is urgent, and Chen Wen, Xu Chu, and Zhou Xin may not have the opportunity to sit together and talk.

"Does Captain Yao know about He Gong Temple?" Xu Chu asked suddenly.

Yao Sheng thought about it in his mind, "I seem to have heard of it." "It's not very clear.

Xu Chuxuan was about to learn about He Qi's situation from Xie Zhen, and finally said: "With such a famous warrior, it is expected that even if Zhu Fu is newly defeated, Huiji County will not be full of rebels in a short period of time, and the lives will be ruined. ”

Not long after Yao Sheng returned to his hometown, he really hadn't heard much about He Qi's reputation. However, the face of the elder brother of the Huijiren clan who was excited in the Guantang turned bright, and Yao Sheng knew it, so he said: "Please ask the prince to set a time, and return to Danyang immediately Chen Zhou Taishou." ”

"Not necessarily." Xu Chu dressed up and said, "Just let the people of this mansion go on a trip, and ask Yao Duwei to stay in the county and wait for good news." ”

......

......

Yao Sheng was left in Shu County in this way, and it was Zhang Yun who was sent to Danyang to contact him. Xu Chu then asked Zhou Yi to go to Liyang, reported the relationship between himself and Zhou Xin, and brought the hope that Fang Bo Chen Wen could come forward to mediate.

After assigning these things, Xu Chu waited for Xu Shu, Xie Zhen, Zhang Yun, and Zhou Yi to hear back, while always paying attention to the situation.

In addition, the operation of recruiting troops in Lujiang to prepare for war is about to officially begin. Xu Chu handed over the recruitment to Xin Bi, supplemented by He Zhen and related Cao officials; In terms of training and preparing for war, he personally supervised it, and Guo Jia, Xi Zhong and other henchmen worked together.

Speaking of which, recruiting troops in Lujiang is really a painful thing, and people can definitely recruit them, but although Xu Chu had trained young and strong in counties, townships, and pavilions in the name of 'preparing for the winter thief', the time is still short, and these people still lack a lot of heat if they want to go to the battlefield. Moreover, Xu Chu didn't dare to recruit too many people, Lujiang had experienced a rebellion, and when Lu Kang was there, there would be one or two small unrests every year, taking away all the young people in the county, who would help him take care of his family? Therefore, Xu Chu's order to Xin Bi was: to recruit the best soldiers to the county as much as possible, it is really not possible, you can transfer a part of the county soldiers in each county, if the county commander and governor of any county do not agree, ask him to come to Shu County himself. The total number of people is better than 5,000 to 6,000. In this way, with the addition of the original trilogy, you can make up enough 10,000 numbers, and you will not appear too weak among the princes of the world.

Xu Chu can only increase to 10,000 people, and he can't raise tens of thousands of troops like Zhang Miao and Qiao Mao, it's not that Xu Chu can't do it, but he can't do it. Imagine Qiao Mao, Zhang Miao, including Kong Ling, Yuan Shu, etc., their base camp is in the Central Plains, very close to the place where the troops will be stationed in the future, and some even don't need to move their nests at all, and the base camp is attached to the territory under Dong Zhuo's jurisdiction. Xu Chu suffered the loss of Lujiang County in Yangzhou, and also suffered the loss of his own martial arts as a martial artist, and there was no way to seek the loss of Meijun at the beginning.

Imagine if Xu Chu is now serving as a taishou in a certain county in Yanzhou and Yuzhou, let alone 20,000 people, with his current military rations and materials, it is not impossible to forcibly levy 40,000 or 50,000.

But the matter has come to this, and there is no more to think about it, Xin Bi and He Zhen took people to various counties to recruit new soldiers, and Xu Chu was also preparing for war in Shu County.

There are two aspects to preparing for war: one is to step up the training of soldiers and soldiers, and the other is to prepare military rations and materials. Training soldiers, Xu Chu can pretend to be the hands of military generals under his command, such as Gan Ning, Le Jin, Li Quan, Zhou Yu, etc., were all recalled to Shu County by him on the same day, and under the full training of the generals, the density and intensity of the drill have increased a lot, and the effect has improved a lot. Whenever Xu Chu had free time, he would go to the camp to stay for half a day and a day, and sometimes he would bring rice and meat to labor the army.

Needless to say, even if it is an army of 10,000 people, and even if you add up the officials in the county government and many other expenses, Xu Chu's food is enough to eat for a long time. Not only can you eat for a long time, Xu Chu because of the abundance of food, the rations issued to each soldier are solid, according to each soldier per month two big stone six buckets, individual such as the Tiger Guard Battalion is each person per month three stone six buckets, he brought from Yingchuan The military rations are almost enough for a year.

In terms of materials, Xu Chu did not get much armor, weapons, chariots, horses, etc., and there was no shortage of spears for ordinary soldiers to fight, but armor, shields, and ring knives could not be armed by everyone, and even the five thousand pieces brought from Yingchuan could not be fully armed. The cart is slightly better, because the cost of the cart is low, and Xu Chu lacks livestock to pull the cart, which can be replaced by manpower to fill the gap. The last horse, Xu Chu didn't want to talk about it, and when he became rich one day, he might consider buying horses and forming cavalry.
