After a journey of about two hundred and fifty miles, it took about two and a half days for the troops of 7,000 men to arrive. News kept coming from the front line, just yesterday, Yangxian County was broken by thieves, and it is said that the defenders only held out for less than half a day.

"I don't know if Wang Yu can stand it up to it......" Li Ming looked at Xi Zhicai, he originally planned to leave Xi Zhicai there, but Wang Yu did not agree, in his opinion, Li Ming needed Xi Zhicai to be by his side.

Besides, there seems to be a Fang Shi in this batch of yellow turban thieves. Without Xi Zhicai, it is estimated that Li Ming will suffer. Zhang Ning is on his side, and Li Ming has already learned through the shadow guard that the Yellow Turban Thief troops attacking Yangxian's side are led by Guan Hai, if the latter is willing to surrender, then maybe they can win without a fight.

In contrast, their side is a real hard-hitting! This batch of yellow turbans is mainly based on Taishan thieves, and the soldiers of Taishan County are also martial and aggressive, and they are also a rare source of soldiers. There are 5,000 thieves in Taishan, and each of them is a real thug!

Fortunately, according to the intelligence, Zang Ba, the leader of the thieves in Taishan, is quite moral, will not kill innocents indiscriminately, join if he wants to join all the way, and let them live if he is not willing, this kind of character, Li Ming is also quite interested.

There seems to be no shortage of capable people among the Yellow Turban Thieves, as far as he knows, there are two people, Liao Hua and Zhou Cang (who were harmed by Romance). I just don't know how this Zang Ba is, maybe I can try to accept it!

Entering Youquan County (Jiaxing City) and arriving at Wu County (Suzhou City), I only saw that the gate of Wu County was closed, and there were a large number of soldiers waiting on the city wall, and it was obvious that it had entered a state of combat readiness.

Li Ming's team slowly approached, perhaps seeing the characters 'Han' and 'Li' on the military flag, the soldiers on the city wall immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and one of the generals immediately shouted: "But the brother who came to support?!" ”

"I am Li Ming, the county guard of Huiji County, and I heard that Wu County was in an emergency, so I specially led the army to support!" Li Ming shouted, "Can you let me and others into the city?" Wu Jun Taishou can be here?! ”

"Why did the county guard personally command the troops? How do you prove it? After a while, a man in a civil robe walked up to the city wall and asked.

"Why do I have to prove it? If you believe, we'll go into the city to help!" If you don't believe us, we'll turn around and leave, and if you ask, you just say that you didn't let us in! Li Ming laughed.

"The thieves have been killed in Wuxi County, and we can't tell whether you are thieves or not. Since you are allies, shall we send someone to confirm it? As soon as Li Ming said that, the other party obviously believed half of it, but he was still a little hesitant.

"Let him come!" Li Ming didn't plan to make things difficult for Wu Jun Taishou, so he motioned for the other party to come over.

Not long after, a scribe in his thirties sat in a hanging basket and went down the city wall, then came to Li Ming, bowed his hand, and then said slowly: "Pengcheng Zhang Zhao, I have seen Lord Taishou!" ”

"They don't believe I'm too shou, but you do?" Li Ming was suddenly curious.

When the other party heard this, he immediately smiled, and then said slowly: "If it were someone else, maybe I wouldn't believe that Taishou would personally lead the troops here." However, if it is the Taishou of Huiji County, then Zhang believes it. Since Taishou took office, it seems that he has not been a ...... of his relatives."

This is a bit ridiculous, and at worst, it is a mockery of Li Mingyue's substitution, but now these bad records have just become the best evidence, which really makes people laugh and cry.

"You believe it, but how do you get them to believe it too?" Li Ming asked, pointing to the scribe on the city wall.

"Taishou has an old relationship with me, otherwise I wouldn't have come down in person, and if I am too trustworthy, I will naturally believe in adults!" Zhang Zhao arched his hand towards the city wall.

Sure enough, he returned to the city wall and said a few words to the scribes, and the gate slowly opened. Li Ming did not slack off, and directly led the army into the city one after another. There were many soldiers in the city guarding both sides, apparently also worried about fraud. However, seeing that there was nothing unusual about the army slowly entering the city, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"I didn't expect it to be Li Taishou who came to help in person, and Chen was grateful!" Wu Jun Taishou Sheng Xian stepped forward and said.

"The Yellow Turban thieves were arrogant, they were just wandering, but they didn't expect to openly attack the state and county now. As an official of the imperial court, I should also come to seek revenge on the traitors. The lieutenant of this county is also here, and he has already set up an ambush in the old county at this moment to deal with the yellow turban thieves over there! Li Ming gave up his hand and explained the situation to Sheng Xian.

"How's the troop over there?" Sheng Xian received the news that there were more than 50,000 people in the elite of the Yellow Turban Thieves.

"Counting the reinforcements from Danyang County, there are more than 8,000 people!" Li Ming replied, "After the enemy captured Yangxian, they plunged headlong into the mountain road to Wucheng in the south, the mountain road is difficult to walk, the large army cannot stretch, there are thousands of people enough!" ”

"It's so good, it just needs to be held out for a while! The assassin has already sent a document, let us hold it for ten days, and there will be more reinforcements to support in the future, the number of Yellow Turban thieves is huge, and the daily consumption is not small, and the morale will inevitably be low after ten days! When the time comes, they will kill in the back, and they will definitely be able to fight! Sheng Xian was very happy when he heard this, and told the assassination arrangement.

"Speaking of which, who were the scribes who came down before? Have you ever been a leader? Li Ming asked in a low voice, he suddenly realized that the name Zhang Zhao seemed to be very familiar, and the key was that according to the previous conversation, he felt that the other party did not seem to be outstanding.

"Zibu, you say? Zhang Zhao, Zhang Zibu, Xuzhou Peng Cheng people! and Guangling Zhang Hong, known as the second Zhang, is also quite famous in Xuzhou, the key is that their talents and scriptures are very good, they are rare auxiliary talents! I happened to travel to Yangzhou, and I happened to meet him, and I happened to know Zhang Zhao, so I invited the two of them to stay for a while. In fact, they also plan to recruit the two, but who knows that they don't plan to be ......" Sheng Xian smiled bitterly.

"They're not out yet?" Li Ming immediately became interested, he was already sure that Zhang Zhao was the Zhang Zhao who 'asked Zhang Zhao about internal affairs'!

If you want to talk about Sun Wu, Li Ming has come and gone and knows so many people, namely Tai Shici, Gan Ning, Zhou Yu, Lu Su and Zhang Zhao, as for the others, maybe they have heard of it, but they have forgotten it, or they have never heard of it.

Since there is no outcome, of course we have to find a way to recruit them! The key is their background, which means that they will think more from their own interests, and they are more trustworthy than Xun Biao.

"What, Li Taishou also has an idea?" Sheng Xian couldn't help but joke when he heard this, everyone wants talents, and naturally everyone depends on their ability.

"There is a scarcity of civil servants in Huiji County...... Li also maintained his troubles! Li Ming rubbed his hands.

"Hahaha, tonight Sheng will hold a banquet in the mansion to entertain everyone! As for whether it will succeed or not, it depends on Lord Li's means! Sheng Xian is also open-minded, and he doesn't have the slightest feeling that Li Ming is digging into his corner.

Perhaps because Sheng Xian is a Han Taishou, he is recruiting talents for the Han Dynasty. In this concept, Li Ming's recruitment or his recruitment actually has little to do with it. Raising talents for the country is also their duty as Taishou!

"I'll do my best!" Li Ming smiled and nodded.
