In the simple but clean conference hall of the Xiao Mansion, Liu Chen and Xiao He sat on the left and right sides of the main seat, and Guan Yu and Luan Bu were not among them. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"General, this is authentic green tea, extremely sweet, come, taste!" Xiao He personally poured Liu Chen a cup of tea and said with a smile at Liu Chen.

Hearing this, Liu Chen took a sip of the teacup in front of him, which was indeed very sweet, almost the same as the green tea in his previous life.

"Good tea, hehe, Mr. Xiao is really leisurely, but I didn't expect that the richest man in Yaxi County, but the mansion is so simple." Liu Chen sighed and said.

Shaking his head, Xiao He sighed: "Who doesn't want their home to be gorgeous? It's just that this world is not good, the domestic war is endless, the invasion of foreign strong enemies, the displacement of the people, and the misery, if my mansion is very luxurious, it should not be long before it will be forcibly occupied by those outlawed homeless people or other places, rather than giving these money cheaply to those tigers and wolves, it is better to show grace to the people. ”

"Sir, righteousness!" Liu Chen's expression was solemn, and he said with a fist at Xiao He.

With a slight wave of his hand, Xiao He hugged his fist at Liu Chen and said: "I can't quench my thirst from far water, the general is the real righteousness, and the formation of volunteers to fight against the Dongying people, especially the defeat of 3,000 Dongying people some time ago, is it not exciting!" ”

Speaking of this, Liu Chen stood up, bowed to Xiao He and said: "I want to thank Mr., if it wasn't for Mr. Funding, I'm afraid Guan Yu and Zhang Fei would not have come to my aid, it's really hard to say whether it's a win or a defeat, Liu is here to thank Mr. for all the people in Chengshan Military Village!" ”

Seeing this, Xiao He also hurriedly stood up, bowed to Liu Chen and said: "These were originally what we should do, but we were afraid, what the general did was the righteousness of the people, Xiao He admired it, hated that he was not born as a martial artist, otherwise he would follow the general to fight with those Dongying people!" ”

Liu Chen was overjoyed when he heard this, he was waiting for this sentence, holding Xiao He's elbow with one hand, Liu Chen said to Xiao He very solemnly: "Sir, in fact, I took the liberty to come here this time, mainly for Mr., how about I beg Mr. to join the Han Army and help me, how about it?" ”

Raising his head suddenly, Xiao He looked at Liu Chen in a daze, then stepped back, and in Liu Chen's somewhat uncertain eyes, he suddenly knelt on the ground and said: "Thanks to the general's affordability, Xiao He is willing to serve his life!" ”

Liu Chen didn't expect Xiao He to be more decisive than him, when he came, he was still thinking about how to take Xiao He under his command, but he didn't expect it to be really simple, the two didn't speak a few words in total, Xiao He was willing to join, which was a bit unexpected for Liu Chen.

"Sir, please get up." Liu Chen hurriedly helped Xiao He up, although he was a little surprised by Xiao He's attitude, but in his heart he was happy, although he had not been in contact with Xiao He for a long time, but Liu Chen could see that Xiao He was definitely not a simple rich businessman, he was educated, and he had the ability to govern, which was definitely what Liu Chen lacked now.

Moreover, Xiao He joined, so Guan Ying and Cao Shen are not allowed to join? Got a strategist and two strong generals all at once, isn't this killing two birds with one stone?

The two of them sat down again, but they were not as good as before, and they only heard Liu Chen ask: "Sir, the development speed of the Han army is too fast, and there are many fierce generals under my command, but the strategists, who can manage the internal affairs of the army, can't do anything, so how about asking Mr. to be the head of our army?" Everything except leading troops to fight is in your hands, including giving advice. ”

Xiao He clenched his fists and said solemnly: "Thanks to the general's affordability, Xiao He will not let the general down." ”

Nodding, Liu Chen also couldn't wait to ask: "Sir, at the moment, there are flames going on, what is Sir's opinion on the current development of our Han Army?" ”

Liu Chen went straight in, Xiao He also quickly entered his identity, and after a moment of deep muttering, he said: "If the Han army wants to develop, it must have a fixed territory. ”

"What advice do you have gentlemen? At present, the Han army has 8,000 armor, and it is not easy to take a city as a base camp. Liu Chen Zhengse said.

Liu Chen is not wrong, 8,000 soldiers seem to be a lot, but if you want to conquer the city, it is really not enough to see, you can fight this kind of small city in Yaxi County, once you encounter those cities with tall walls and heavy soldiers, it is not enough for others to drink a pot.

"In addition to Weihai County, there are three main cities of Rushan, Wendeng and Rongcheng, Rushan is too far away, Wendeng has three major families with a total of nearly 70,000 soldiers, it is not very realistic, if you don't consider Weihai County, Rongcheng is the preferred target." Xiao He said, "Rongcheng is only four hundred miles away from the southwest of Chengshan Military Port, and the speed of five or six days' march can be reached, and now Rongcheng's internal family is divided, and there is no real strong person in power." ”

After a pause, Xiao He said again: "But what the general said makes sense, we are short of people at the moment, so the most important thing is to recruit soldiers, the general can first take Yaxi County as a temporary foothold, and with a county, nearly 10,000 people can be recruited in a short time, so that the strength of our army will also be strong." ”

"Yaxi County?" Liu Chen hesitated a little and said, "There are six thousand city guards here, even if it is captured, this county town has no defensive significance at all, is it cost-effective to spend some of the casualties of the soldiers?" ”

"Huh." Xiao He smiled when he heard this, and said, "The general can rest assured, the city guards are unpopular, and the people in the city are looted everywhere, and the people have long complained, that is, more than half of the 6,000 city guards have opinions about him, if the general comes to attack in a big way, he can confidently instigate nearly 2,000 soldiers as an internal response, so that great losses can be avoided." ”

"Moreover, this city is indeed not easy to defend, but we are just taking this city to recruit soldiers, and the army can be stationed on Xiyang Mountain outside the city, where the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there is plenty of water, so we are not afraid of the enemy to besiege." Xiao He talked about it.

Hearing this, Liu Chen finally knew that Xiao He was more talented than he imagined, no wonder Xiao He could have such a great reputation in the ancient history of his previous life, although Xiao He in this world was a little surprised by Xiao He in ancient times in his previous life, but he was definitely able to excel in his talent.

"Sir, hehe, there is a gentleman who gives me advice, why worry that the Han army is not strong? Thank you, sir! Liu Chen hugged his fists.

Xiao He also hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "Don't dare to be, general, without further ado, it's good to settle the settlement as soon as possible, don't worry about the money and food for the time being, since my subordinates have joined, my things are the things of the Han army, and the finances accumulated by my subordinates over the years are still nearly one million taels of silver, and there are 50,000 stones of grain, which is enough for the expenses of the 50,000 army for three months." ”

Seeing that Xiao He even took out his own family wealth, Liu Chen also let out a long sigh, and then didn't say a word, and bowed to Xiao He again!
