Chen Gong did not see much ink in the history books, so Xu Chu did not know that there was such a person.

Chen Yi later said that Li Tong, who was as famous as Chen Gong, was different, and Xu Chu clearly remembered that this Li Tong had been a Taishou of Runan in history and was a very loyal person.

has the courage to be martial, can gather people, and is loyal, so Xu Chu easily made a decision, such as Xi Zhong's suggestion, send a henchman, go to Pingchun County, Jiangxia in the starry night, and recruit Chen Gong and Li Tong.

The problem is that the difficulty coefficient of recruiting Chen Gong and Li Tong is a bit high, he Xu Chu is not a well-known celebrity in China, in the final analysis, he and Li Tong and Chen Gong are all the way, starting from heroes, and are not favored by the scholars.

He said to Xu Chu: "The lord rebelled against the army and punished the riots, and he has always stood on the side of justice. After Xun, Chen, Zhong and other prominent families recommended, a change into an example, jumped to the position of the Taishou, this is a precedent, and so the world has changed, the world's heroes will rush to follow suit. Chen Gong and Li Tong, gathering a crowd to punish thieves, will not have the desire to do a career, the lord sent a sufficient amount of henchmen to contact the two, although the two will not follow immediately, but with the crowd, it should not be a problem. ”

Xu Chu savored Xi Zhong's words, and suddenly 'saw the sun'.

Some scholars in later generations said that Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing to control the government opened a precedent for the confrontation between warlords and scholars in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and also symbolized the official advent of the era of warlord melee.

Thinking about it this way, Xu Chu is actually the same as Dong Zhuo, a warlord who can no longer be a warlord. Of course, because of Xu Chu's strength, fame and other issues, he is only half at most. Before Dong Zhuo, in addition to him Xu Chu, there should be someone who can be counted as half.

Jiangdong Tiger - Sun Jian. Sun Jian became the Taishou of Changsha in the fourth year of Zhongping, that is, two years before Xu Chu came to the Eastern Han Dynasty. At that time, the Changsha people were in turmoil, and Wang Rui was unable to levy it, so the imperial court appointed Sun Jian as the Taishou of Changsha, and after quelling the rebellion, he was named the Marquis of Wucheng. Sun Jian is not a child of the scholar clan, but he is slightly different from Xu Chu, at least his family has been an official in Wu County for generations, and his official position is not high, so he can only be regarded as a poor family.

Sun Jian should be counted as half a warlord, Xu Chu should be counted as half a warlord, plus Dong Zhuo not long after, it can be seen that the stormy Han's control over the state and county is getting weaker and weaker.

Back to the question of Chen Gong and Li Tong, these two people are one of the few heroes in Jiangxia County, seeing Xu Chu's phased success, how can he not be moved as a person with meritorious deeds? Either curious, or casual, or because they are used to seeing the white eyes of Wang Rui and other scholars, or Xu Chu's open-mindedness makes them feel something, all kinds of reasons add up, nine times out of ten, they will go to Xu Chu with the mentality of giving it a try and observing and observing.

Whether the two can be left behind in the end depends on Xu Chu's ability. In the end, it was decided that Guo Jia would go to Jiangxia Pingchun, firstly, because although Pingchun County in Jiangxia County is separated from Yingchuan County by Runan, it is not too far, starting from Yanling County, going straight to the south, passing through Linying, Yanxian, Wufang, and Langling Counties, you can cross the two counties and reach Pingchun County on the border of Jiangxia County. The second is because Guo Jia's intelligence is reassuring, and with Guo Jia's past persuasion, it can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

So Xu Chu asked Dian Wei to select ten shrewd people from the Tiger Guards and go to Pingchun County with Guo Jia.

After Guo Jia came, he gladly accepted the commission, and after a little preparation, he rushed to Dengyong Chen Gong and Li Tong in Pingchun County with ten tiger guards.

——, Lejin brought Li Quan's letter about an hour after Guo Jia set off. Like Chen Gong, Xu Chu didn't know who Li Cheng was, but after Lejin's introduction, he found that this Li Cheng was not simple.

Li Quan is a native of Shanyang Juye, and as soon as he heard Shanyang Juye, Xu Chu immediately jumped out of his mind with a name - Li Dian. Li Dian is also a giant savage from Shanyang, and he learned from Le Kou that Li Quan's father is called Li Gan, and Li Gan has a nephew who is Li Dian.

"Li Xiaocheng and Li Mancheng are really the rising leaders of Yanzhou." Lejin is from Yangping Weiguo, and it is also in Yanzhou. When it comes to Li Quan and Li Dian, the two rising stars, Le Jin is very proud.

It's a pity that Li Quan's letter did not reveal the slightest intention of dedication, and only said, 'Xu Zhongkang quelled the chaos with martial arts, was a hero in the world, and admired the whole and his clan brothers'. It's just an intentional acquaintance.

Xu Chudan asked Li Cheng and Li Diannian about their teeth, and Le Jin replied: "It's similar to me." He also said: "Li Gan has a heroic spirit, respected by the people of Shanyang County, Li Quan and Li Dian have been practicing martial arts with him since childhood, and his swordsmanship is brilliant, and he has the potential to be blue." ”

Lejin strongly admired the Li family, and Xu Chu naturally knew that the Li family was not an ordinary person. Although Li Cheng has no intention of investing, he is also a figure worthy of Xu Chu's relationship, and he is a rare potential stock.

He also wrote a letter back to Li Chuan and sent someone to Shanyang County.

It can be seen that Xu Chu is not 'unattended' in Yingchuan, at least the heroes from all over the country who advocate chivalry and martial arts have a very high evaluation of Xu Chu.

Le Jin accepted the letter, turned around and walked to the tent door, Xu Chu stopped him and asked, "What did Wei Cao Zaojun arrange for Wen Qian to do?" ”

Le Jin thanked him first, and then replied: "Zaojun is in charge of the military tun in Xixiang, Changshe County. Le Jin thanked him first, because he understood the deep meaning of Xu Chu to let him Tuntian, so that he could be promoted to the army as a military attache as soon as possible in the future.

Xu Chu was satisfied with Zaoyi's arrangement, Changshe is the hometown of the Zhong family, and among the Yingchuan clan, the Zhong family has a much better attitude towards him than the Xun and Chen families.

It seems that Zao only seems to be an upright man who doesn't like to talk much, but in fact, he is also a person who is good at official morals......

Li Quan, Chen Gong, and Li Tong are useless to think about it now, Xu Chu personally sent Le Jin a few steps, out of the military tent, there was a wind blowing, and the banner in the camp was displayed. In the past few days, the township and Li Qingxia who came to join the army have also reached their peak, and more than 300 people have been included today. At present, there is a grand scene in the camp, and the real training has just begun.

In the past few days, in addition to accepting new soldiers, Xu Chu did not let himself be idle, and looked at the military book for the first time.

Theoretical knowledge is still very useful in these years.

The so-called military book is not a rare commodity, and generally people with rich family resources and meritorious deeds will prepare a military book that Xu Chu is studying. Xu Chu was really studying, and the ancient texts were not as obscure to him as they were when he first arrived, but compared with the people of the time, he still had more difficulty reading them.

This military book is "Taigong Art of War", which was given by an old man who stayed in Henkel and waited for Zhang Liangde, which is exactly this book. It is also a well-known book to be read, which is very popular in the Han Dynasty. Needless to say, Xi Zhong and Guo Jia, but also military generals who are literate and hyphenated such as Lejin and Gan Ning are also involved in it to some extent.

There were 1,500 Hushi in the training ground, plus Dian Wei's Hushi, which was divided into ten parts for training.

Dian Wei is a fierce general who charges into battle, and training soldiers is actually not his strong point. Because I saw Xu Chu practice a few days ago, I was quite puzzled, just like Xu Chu asking for advice.

Xu Chu hammered Dian Wei's thick chest and said teasingly: "Has Dian Jun read the Taigong Art of War?" ”

Dian Wei shook his head, "I don't know any art of war." ”

"Okay, I'll tell you." Xu Chu said with great interest: "There is an article "Teaching War" in the Taigong Art of War, which says, 'Whoever leads the three armies has the festival of the golden drum, so those who are neat and tidy are also.'" It will be necessary to apply for three orders to teach the soldiers to live and command the banner. Therefore, the priests made one learn to fight, and the teaching was completed, and ten people were combined; Ten people learn to fight, teach and succeed, and become a hundred...... And so on, the law of the great war, the teaching, is a million people. Therefore, he can become his soldier and stand in the world. ”

Wen Crepe said something, but Dian Wei understood it, and replied: "Oh...... It is no wonder that the lord wants to divide the training, first teach the individual soldiers to learn the order of the drum, and then gather the sergeants who have learned it first to teach the order of the joint battle...... Got it, got it. ”

Dian Wei asked again: "What about the one who practiced shooting?" ”

Xu Chu said: "Most of the people who practice archery are the righteous servants brought by the Zhang clan, these people have a high level of literacy, and they have practiced archery in order to resist the yellow turban thief, so they are classified as Zhang Shi, and there is no need to charge in front of the battle, so there is no need to practice the queue for the time being." ”

Dian Wei nodded heavily, but when he saw Xi Zhong coming, he said to them: "Lord, Dian Junhou, follow me to select the first Dengshi!" ”
