After roughly inquiring about the situation in the army, he learned that there are currently more than 1,200 soldiers in the battalion, complete weapons, and morale, Xu Chu is very satisfied.

"Brother Gong Yan, I want you to quit your military affairs and come to the county government to help, what do you think?" Some words, Xu Chu thinks that it is better to say it earlier, since he believes that Gong Yan is not suitable for serving in the army, and then let him reluctantly lead the troops, maybe it will hurt him.

Gong Yan replied gently: "But it's up to the lord to decide." ”

He was indispensable, but Gong Su came out and asked, "But what is there about my brother that dissatisfies the lord?" Oh, Su has no other intentions, I just want to ask the reason for the matter, and I can improve it. ”

Xu Chu glanced at him and said, "It's nothing, I just think that your brother is more suitable to come to my side to do things." But the palace sues you, I heard that you are very strict in governing the army, although it is a good thing to have strict military discipline, you must also be careful of too much. ”

Gong Su's face changed, and he replied respectfully: "My subordinates understand." ”

Xu Chu patted him on the shoulder, Gong Su was too careful, and sometimes he would inevitably think crankily, so he said to him with a smile: "Don't think too much, your eldest brother's original subordinates will be under your command together." ”

The brothers of the Gong family originally led two hundred soldiers each to wait for the Qu army, but now they are combined into one place, and they will become one, and Gong Su will naturally become a military horse.

Zifan was jealous and said: "The eldest brother is eccentric, I did it with Gong Su, why did he take a step ahead of me." "In the Han Dynasty, a battalion was usually composed of 2,000 people, divided into several cadres, and each department had a military commander. Because when Xu Chu first came to Yanling County, the people under his command were all rural light heroes brought by Wang Yan, so the most soldiers were assigned to Wang Yan in the entire battalion, and he was ordered to be a military horse. The other three brothers were only responsible for composing the music, and the surplus men and horses were given to the spokesmen of the big families in the army.

Everyone has nothing to say about Wang Yan's appointment, after all, his current contribution is the greatest. But Xu Chu didn't want to see the dominance of the family for too long, even if he was so many people now. Taking the opportunity to mention Gong Su is definitely beneficial and harmless, after all, Gong Su's loyalty is absolutely fine.

Zifan, a reckless man, is making trouble at this time.

Xu Chu didn't talk nonsense with him, but said: "Zifan, take off your military uniform and let me wear it!" ”

"What?"

"Beat the drums and point the soldiers!"

After the military order, Gong Su took the initiative to beat the drum, and after a drum, only nearly 100 soldiers came; After a while, most of the sergeants were in position; After the three-way drum was finished, only a team of people and horses came sparsely.

Xu Chu, who had changed into a military uniform, stood on the humble point general platform and stared at the soldiers in the stage.

He had come to the camp many times before, and most of the soldiers knew him, so he stood more upright.

Xu Chu suddenly shouted: "Jun Sima Wang is out of the ranks!" ”

Wang Yan came out of the column and bowed half-kneeling, and replied loudly: "The subordinates are here!" ”

"Who is in charge of this team?" Xu Chu pointed to the group of soldiers who arrived first.

"Yuxian Jun, this is the Ministry of Gongsu!"

"Very good, Gong Su has a good way of governing the army, which can be called an example, and he was promoted to a military horse, and everyone under his command is also rewarded. Gong Yan, you write it down for me, and report it to the main book Xu Shu! After Xu Chu finished speaking, he walked towards the slowest group of guys.

The leader of the group was a white-faced man, probably in a hurry, dressed in his usual attire, and did not bring a sword. The whole team is crooked, and at a glance, it is clear that there is little training.

Xu Chu glanced at Wang Yan and the others, this is what you said about morale? Wang Yan understood, walked up quickly, and whispered: "This is the slave of Zhao Yuan's gang. Previously, Zhao Yuan and other diehards saw that the general trend had gone, and they had to come to Chengcheng, Xu Chu felt that it was good to have more strength, so he agreed to come down, but he didn't expect that in the barracks, these people would not stop.

"I remember that your name is Zhao Hu, and you are Zhao Yuan's brother?"

Zhao Hu replied: "It's exactly below." ”

"Why is it coming so slowly?"

"I didn't think about thieves, so I slowed down." Zhao Hu was a little impatient, and he was reluctant when he was called here, who had a good life, but it was rare to come to this barracks to endure hardships, and there was no wine, and there was no mother-in-law.

"Zhao Hu! If there are really thieves to commit crimes, I am afraid that the head will fall to the ground and I don't know it! Xu Chu looked at Zhao Hu with a lazy face, and his anger was even worse, and his words also annoyed Zhao Hu, who didn't know the height of the sky.

"My lord, I came to help you, in order to kill thieves and make meritorious contributions to defend Yan Ling, not to be angry." Zhao Hu actually raised his chin, and looked at Xu Chu without backing down.

Xu Chu smiled contemptuously, turned around and walked to Dianjiangtai. Zhao Hu thought that he didn't dare to do anything to himself, so he was even more unscrupulous, turned back to his subordinates and smiled: "What Runan Huzi, but Er'er." ”

But seeing Xu Chu's anger, he said loudly: "Everyone, the battlefield is very dangerous, this county has gone through several battles since Runan resisted the thieves, and knows that the order is prohibited, and it is the way to kill the enemy and protect himself." The palace su department acted quickly, so the county was rewarded. After a pause, he looked at Zhao Hu, "Zhao Hu's department has no military discipline, so this county will be punished!" ”

Xu Chu summoned Gong Su to front of him, "Jun Sima Gong Su, how do you say you should be punished?" ”

Gong Su thought for a while, and said: "Disobey discipline, disturb the morale of the army, this is a big crime, when ......" The words were not spoken, seeing Xu Chu's eyes, he remembered the four words "too much" that the lord had just said, and changed his words: "Be a staff for thirty, to set an example!" ”

Xu Chu nodded with satisfaction, "What the military Sima said is extremely true, so it is up to you to conduct the military law." ”

Zhao Hu jumped up, "Don't you dare to do this, aren't you afraid of offending the wrath of the public?!" ”

Xu Chu snorted coldly and said, "But if there are those who resist, the crime will be added to the first." Gong Su, go and bring Zhao Hu up! ”

Zhao Hu still wanted to resist, but he saw Gong Su draw his saber, put it on his neck without saying anything, and said in a strange manner: "Brother Zhao, if you don't want to add a sword, go and get the military law." ”

Zhao Hu gritted his teeth, "The surname is Gong, you are ruthless!" When he got to the stage, the law enforcement soldiers pressed him to the ground, and the staff fell. Zhao Hu howled again and again, and only hit a dozen rods before fainting.

"Bring cold water, splash it and hit it." Gong Su's eyes were cold, and even Xu Chu had a little palpitations when he saw it.

Xu Chuxin said: If this person is used well, he should be a cool official who enforces the law like a mountain, and a fierce general who charges into battle...... The brothers of the palace family came out before and after the mother's womb, and their temperaments were very different.

After the thirty canes, Zhao Hu lost most of his life and was taken away for medical treatment. After the generals saw Xu Chu's rewards and punishments, and Gong Su's iron face was selfless, almost no one dared to touch the violation of military orders.

"Urgent——! Eighty miles away, I saw the front of the thief army! ”

Outside the camp gate, the scout Pegasus came, Xu Chu's heart tightened, and He Yi finally came.

He couldn't stay in the barracks for a long time, so he immediately returned to the county office. Xu Shu, Zhang Feng and others have stopped what they are doing, and it seems that they have also received the news.

Although military intelligence is a first-class matter, Xu Chu still said a few words about government affairs with Pang Zhan and Zhang Feng.

"Spring ploughing has been well prepared, but it's a pity that the yellow turban thief is here at this moment." Pang Zhan said with pity, in fact, every time the yellow turban is in turmoil, most of them will choose the spring ploughing or autumn harvest season. Because at this time, officials often take care of one thing and make mistakes in their busyness.

"Ji He (Pang Zhan's words) don't need to worry too much, just do what is at hand, I am in the war." Xu Chu's decisiveness made Pang Zhan feel a lot more at ease, in fact, if Xu Chu could, he also wanted to use all the manpower on the front line as much as possible, but he was a 'descendant', the Kwantung Alliance's crusade against Dong Zhuo happened at the end of this year and the beginning of next year, Yan Ling, as his rear, must not be chaotic because of the lack of food after the autumn.

"Deran, how is the selection of officials going?" Xu Chu looked at his future father-in-law and always felt awkward......

Zhang Feng was completely unaffected, and said generously: "County Jun, the general situation has been decided, just wait for you to see." ”

"No need, Deran has a family of poetry and books, and he knows people better than me. Now that the vanguard of the thieves has reached eighty miles away, we need to plan a plan or two, otherwise when the thieves set up camp, there will be no room for things to turn around. ”

Seeing that Xu Chu was methodical, and finally talked about military affairs, Xu Shu nodded secretly: The lord has been getting more and more sophisticated recently, and this calmness is rare.
