In the afternoon of the same day, Gao Shun saw these childhood friends again, and carefully examined them, none of them were outstanding, the force value was around 45 to 70, and there were no more than 80, and the same was true for intelligence, politics and other attributes, which made Gao Shun a little disappointed; But if you think about it carefully, a village with a population of only more than 100 people is very good to have this result.

Everyone has seen the selection in the morning, and they are no strangers to this kind of challenge, and they have a good idea of their own strength, Gao Shun did not let them compete, but was ready to have a discussion with them.

Everyone was invited to the reception room of the barracks and chatted for an afternoon, and in the evening, Gao Shun hosted a banquet to entertain them, and strictly ordered them not to do evil, otherwise they would be severely punished after being reported.

After a period of time, Gao Shun was very relaxed, and all the little things were handled by Jia Cheng.

At the beginning of February, Gao Shun sent another order to Mu Caoshan in Anzhou and appointed Zhao Yun as the general of Zhonglang; Prepare for your sister's marriage.

Lu Su galloped all the way, and when he arrived in Jizhou, he was a young man; Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, Judge, Ma Gui and others are no longer at work, either at home with their relatives, or visiting to drink, or preparing for the New Year; Xu Lin, whose family is not in Jizhou, is on duty in the barracks, and Li Qiang is on duty in the general's mansion.

After Li Qiang settled everyone down, he sent someone to lead Lu Su to the trial house to explain the task.

It is estimated that it is very impolite to go to Xuzhou now, and after discussing with Lu Su, it was decided to leave for Xiapi after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Originally, Li Qiang also wanted Lu Su to spend the New Year in Jizhou, but Lu Su was in an urgent mood to go south, stayed in Yecheng for one night, and then set off for Jinan.

When I arrived in Jinan, it was the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month.

At this time, the Bohai Sea and the Yellow River have been frozen, and the navy is on holiday, and most of the naval governors are on vacation in Jinan Licheng, which is convenient for Lusu.

Originally, Fang Liang wanted to have a grand banquet for Lu Su, but Lu Su refused.

Fang Liang had no choice but to have a small-scale banquet, and only invited relevant personnel, and Gao Wei was also among the banquets.

Seeing Gao Wei, Lu Su was like a treasure, and immediately became sticky with him.

Lu Su grew up in the south, but he knew the importance of the navy, if he wanted to gain a foothold in the local area, he could not do without cavalry and infantry, and if he wanted to conquer the Jiangdong region and Jingzhou, he must build a strong navy.

Gao Shun only arranged 500 sailors, which was obviously far from enough, and if he wanted to build a strong navy, he could not do without the support of the governor of the navy.

The weather in the north is very cold, and even the sea is frozen in winter, which is obviously not suitable for the development of the navy, Gao Wei also wants to build a naval base in the south, and hit it off with Lu Su, not to mention that Gao Wei has taken a fancy to Lu Su's 500 sailors, and he is now not short of 500-ton large warships, what is lacking is systematic sailors.

Neither Gao Shun nor Gao Wei wanted to be operated by someone outside the system.

Therefore, Lu Su proposed to build a large-scale naval port, wharf and shipyard in Guangling County, and to form a strong naval army, hoping that Gao Wei would provide assistance.

Gao Wei proposed that there is no problem in building a shipyard or a naval army, but it must be commanded and managed by him.

Lu Su obviously didn't want to be controlled by others, so he said: "The identities of Su and Taishou and others are kept secret, and they are also acting in the name of Xuzhou, which is not convenient for disclosure, so the Metropolitan Governor cannot go south to command the naval army, and only needs the secret assistance of the Metropolitan Governor; In the future, after the lord occupies Xuzhou, he will definitely transfer the Guangling County Navy to the unified jurisdiction of the metropolitan governor. ”

Fang Liang also agreed with this opinion, at least for the time being, not to let outsiders know that Guangling County was under the control of the lord.

Gao Wei was dissatisfied, but he didn't have any other good ideas, so he said: "These five hundred sailors will stay in Qingzhou temporarily, and after Zijing and others take over Guangling County, I will send a thousand shipwrights to the south, first build a shipyard, build ships, and expand the port and wharf locally; Then recruit sailors and sailors, and I'll send someone to take care of the training, okay? ”

Lu Su now has too few officers and soldiers, and he doesn't want to leave five hundred sailors behind, so he said: "Haha, this is very good, but at that time, the metropolitan governor will send at least a thousand sailors, so that the navy can be built as quickly as possible." ”

This is not difficult for Gao Wei, now there are naval patrol points in Baima, Cangting, Gaotang, Luokou and other places, recruiting a large number of naval troops, just 1,000 naval troops for 500 system naval troops, Gao Wei is naturally happy; Then he said: "Haha, Zijing is polite, how much to send, it will definitely meet the needs of establishing a naval army according to needs, and it will even be far more than a thousand people at that time, anyway, supporting Zijing is supporting the lord." ”

The matter was successfully finalized, Guangling County was responsible for building docks, building shipyards, etc., and Gao Wei was responsible for dispatching shipbuilders and sailors; However, there are a large number of people in the local area who are familiar with the nature of the water, and they can be recruited into the army and trained by Gao Wei.

This greatly reduced the difficulty of forming a naval army, and Lu Su felt that the people in the lord's forces were definitely talented, and they all focused on the overall situation, and provided him with such help; Then he hit Fang Liang with the idea, the lord Gao Shun arranged it, and Qingzhou Mu Fang Liang provided the greatest help, he couldn't miss the opportunity.

So, Lu Su said again: "Envoy, how to form infantry and cavalry? Guangling County was plundered by Yuan Shu of Yangzhou, and the Tao Thorn Shi of Xuzhou withdrew the army again, the people were few, the money and food were lacking, even if the infantry and cavalry were recruited, there was a lack of money and food, armor, weapons, war horses, etc., and there was a lack of officers and training personnel. ”

How could Fang Liang not know Lu Su's intentions? Then he smiled and said: "Hahaha, Zijing, the lord has all been arranged, and the military attachés equipped for Guangling County are enough to form 30,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry, they are all experienced generals, training the army, commanding the battle, and there is no problem; What Zijing lacks at that time is nothing more than money, food, equipment and war horses, etc., and Qingzhou will never stand idly by at that time, and will definitely go all out to support, please rest assured. ”

Lu Su Ke not only wanted this benefit, this was already arranged by the lord, he wanted additional benefits, so he said: "Envoy, Su and everyone arrived in Guangling, just these hundreds of people, they can't even defend themselves, how to develop?" I beg the envoy to sponsor a few thousand infantry and a few thousand cavalry. Saying that, I don't want to bow to Fang Liangchang.

Fang Liang said: "Zijing, seeing that you are loyal, how can you be so liar? ”

"Zi Jing, please get up quickly, and serve the Lord together, why bother?" Gao Wei also participated in the persuasion.

Lu Su just can't afford to worship for a long time, and he will never give up until he reaches his goal; Anyway, he didn't reach the weak crown, and everyone couldn't embarrass him, even if he asked for a thousand cavalry, he also earned.

Fang Liang had no choice, besides, he was not short of this soldier now, and said in plain clothes as an embarrassment: "Haha, Zijing, I really can't do anything about you, so let's do it, when I take over Guangling County, I will send you 3,000 infantry and 2,500 cavalry, so good?" ”

When Lu Su heard this, he was overjoyed, in this way, he could maintain the safety of Guangling City in the early stage, so he thanked him again: "Thank you for the support of the envoy, and I will never forget the kindness of the envoy in this life!" ”

"Hahaha, Zi Jing is polite!"

The big event has been decided, and everyone drinks freely; Lu Su achieved his goal, his heart was happy, and he kept toasting Fang Liang and Gao Wei, hoping to have a good relationship, and he would definitely get continuous help in the future.

Originally, Fang Liang and Gao Wei both hoped that Lu Su and others would spend the New Year in Licheng, but Lu Su politely refused everyone's kindness and took people straight to Langya County, leaving only the lieutenant in Licheng, ready to receive the officers and soldiers sponsored by Fang Liang.

On the third day of the first month, everyone arrived in Kaiyang City, and Lu Su left everyone behind, waiting for the news of the trial and negotiation, and he only returned to his hometown with dozens of civil and military officials.
