Ji Ling's submission made Yang Xi another general, and more than 3,000 of the more than 10,000 prisoners continued to join the army, which happened to make Ji Ling the battalion commander.

After the battle, the student assessment of the Military Academy was over, and Yang Xi selected the best among them and assigned them to the army according to the categories they were good at.

After such a long time of talent reserves, Yang Xi can finally achieve one thing, that is, each battalion has a staff officer, whose main responsibility is to sort out combat information, provide materials for army commanders, and put forward certain suggestions. At the behest of the military chief, specific combat missions were assigned to the units below. For example, the battalion staff officer is a third person below the battalion commander and deputy battalion commander, and his status is already higher than that of the platoon commander.

There are more than 50 people who have performed well in the Sergeant Academy this time, and some of these people are the most top-notch.

Lu Xun, You Tu and more than a dozen other people were assigned to various places and became the earliest staff officers.

As for the regimental staff officers, they are called chiefs of staff, and their qualifications are still far behind.

Lu Xun became the staff officer of the Cai Kao cavalry battalion, and You Tu was sent to the north by Yang Xi to be the staff officer of the Jian Xian assault battalion. As for the post of Chief of Staff of the Corps, it is temporarily vacant.

Each battalion is equipped with staff officers, which can be regarded as the lowest level of strategists, and Yang Xi is also a little relieved.

Xiangyang, Liu Biaofu.

In order to appease the Kuai family, the third elder of the Kuai family, Kuai Qi, has been listed as Jingzhou Don't drive, Liu Biao travels, and they all follow the car, and Kuai Qi's status has also been instantly improved by ten grades.

Cai Mao's army only tentatively slipped into the Wuchang section, and dozens of people were shot and retreated, which was not an attack at all.

As for Zhang Ji in Changsha, it took more than 20 days to organize the work of tens of thousands of people, and it took more than 10 days to march, and when he walked to Wuchang, Kuai Liang died in battle, and the news that Huang Zu ran to Anlu had already come, and Zhang Ji just set up a camp and set up a village, and then pulled out the camp and left.

Liu Biao gathered the crowd to discuss, but to no avail, and finally could only focus on Cao Cao's attack.

None of the parties reacted, the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce had become a tiger, and all the civil and military generals in Sun Ce's camp began to discuss again.

Zhou Yu said: "Lord, now south of the Huai River of the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce, there is almost no resistance, it seems that the lord needs to break the previous concept and no longer rest on his laurels." ”

"Gong Jin, please speak!"

"In the past, the southern princes fought for territory and fought separately, but now they must unite, and the lord should unite with Liu Biao, and then talk to Xuzhou Lu Bu, and the three parties form an offensive and defensive alliance to compete with the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce."

"No!" Sun Ce immediately objected: "Liu Biao and I have a grudge against my father for killing my father, and my father's bones are not cold, so I will unite with the enemy, I can't do it!" ”

Seeing Sun Ce's intense emotions, Lu Su thought for a while and said: "The lord doesn't have to unite with Liu Biao, but he has reached a united momentum, and Su has a strategy, but he can make this matter irrelevant to the lord." ”

"Son, please speak!"

Lu Su said: "Su thinks that the pressure on Lu Bu should be worse than that of the lord, and the matter of Lu Bu's seizure of Cao Cao's Yanzhou has not yet been decided, and Cao Cao has leveled Zhang Xiu, and it will definitely attack." Although Lu Bu is brave, but there are not many soldiers and horses, and the people he relies on are nothing more than thousands of soldiers and horses, even if he recruits soldiers and horses, his money and food are not much. There is another assassination of Yang Xi, although his daughter has been awarded the head, but the filth is there, yes, the lord should send someone to talk to Lu Bu, suggesting that he send someone to Liu Biao far away, close to the lord of the lord, to form an east-west attack on Yang Xi, the situation should be temporarily stable. ”

Zhou Yu nodded silently when he heard this, he also meant this, but he didn't expect the lord's filial piety, and he couldn't help but think a little higher about Lu Su.

Sun Ce nodded, this can be agreed.

"I don't know if this envoy Lu Bu personnel, do you have any recommendations?"

Lu Su said: "I wish to go to it!" ”

"Good! Then it will be troublesome for Zijing to go through this experience, and it is also an expedient measure to make such a connection, and in the end, it will return to strength. Yang Xi currently sits on the rich land in the south, and the population has reached five or six million including Yuzhang County, if it can raise 200,000 troops, then it is also possible, yes, I will wait for my own strength, or should I improve as soon as possible, what do you think? ”

Zhou Yu said: "There was Cao Cao Tuntian before, the effect is obvious, the lord can follow suit, and then the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce builds a boat port, and the lord can also follow suit." It is said that the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce has awarded the Chenhe boat that it has never sold to Chen Qiong, the prince of Yanzhou, if he can send someone to contact him to buy one at a heavy profit, the lord will build it secretly, and then order someone to join the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce in the name of a businessman, and get its cargo channels, maybe it can have some development, so that it can also secretly build a strong naval army. ”

"Join the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce?" Sun Ce was a little surprised.

Lu Su immediately understood.

"Gong Jin is a good plan, if he can use this to recruit some craftsmen and so on in the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce, then the lord can also be the same as Yang Xi, to paraphrase Yang Xi's own words, it is called the development of industry and commerce."

So the plans of all parties were decided, and I don't know if Sun Ce is the world's earliest commercial espionage activity.

What Yang Xi thought of was that Zhou Yu was very powerful as a military commander, and he never thought that he would engage in these crooked ways, and he was also a human spirit.

Soon, the member units that joined the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce, in Danyang Qinghe Port, doubled compared to before, Tian Cong, the director of Qinghe Port, was naturally happy, and no one could think of it, a large part of it was the family sent by Sun Ce or the merchants recruited.

Chen Qiong has been very proud recently, since he provided news to Zhou Wei and was recognized by Chenhe Port, he joined the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce, and together with Zhou Wei and the two of them, they were both vice president units, and after getting a Chenhe boat, there was an endless stream of major forces looking for the door.

As for the open robbery, it is impossible, so many pairs of eyes are watching, you are such a big ship, to hide, it is really not possible for ordinary people to do it.

The Chenhe Chamber of Commerce instructed Chen Qiong that anyone could buy a boat, and he could provide it, and he also launched a small boat. Of course, the price was expensive, after all, it represented the highest technology at the time.

If you want some princes, you can buy one and go back to build a dock by yourself, but some families are not strong enough, so they can only buy and use them one by one.

This is the myriad wealth that represents.

Chen Qiong's dock was built on the bank of the Yellow River, and his brother Chen Qun, who was Cao Cao's adviser, was deeply used, which was another big advantage.

Because of this, Cao Cao got some convenience, and the earliest products were naturally supplied to Cao Cao.

Zhou Wei is actually among them, and he also nominally owns half of the shares, and Zhou Wei's half of the shares are from the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce, and Zhou Wei is just a representative.

Zhou Wei proposed that if you want to really keep your own dock, you must establish your own private army, and after making money, you must take out some of this money to build up your own army.

In the end, the two decided on a division of labor, with Chen Qiong in charge of external operations and dock management, and Zhou Weilai in charge of establishing the dock guard.

Now it's okay, a small army is going to be inserted into Yanzhou, or Cao Cao's territory, but Cao Cao doesn't know anything about it, even if he knows, Cao Cao won't care, because this kind of armament, almost every scholar family has it, isn't it just the caretaker.
