Chapter 53 Rearmament for War

On the second day, the council hall

Zhang Yuan asked Zu Ti to come out of the column and introduced to everyone, "I will introduce to you, this is Zu Ti, a new general who defected to me, and he has the courage of ten thousand people, today I will appoint him as the captain of Fenwu, you can get close to him in the future."

Zu Ti hurriedly said, "Thank you, lord" and said to the generals: "I've seen the generals"

Fan Lihua and others were also busy saying, "I've seen Captain Fenwu." Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhang Yuan saw that everyone knew each other, so he said, "All parties in Taihang Mountain, retreating to the north, is also expected, for now, we can't wipe them out, and we don't have this strength, besides, you are far away from Huguan for more than 150 miles, the logistical pressure has doubled, and you must always pay attention to the movements of the surrounding county guards, it is really inappropriate to continue to suppress bandits, this is one, the other is that the soldiers have been fighting for more than a month, and they are also very tired, it is time to rest for a while, Taihang Mountain is now the time to go down the mountain to plunder, Zhang Yan, the first thief of the Black Mountain, has no time to take care of us, and after the autumn harvest, we will also face Zhang Yan's revenge, so we should take advantage of this gap to recuperate and recuperate."

"Obey the decision of the lord," Fan Lihua and Li Dingguo stood up and said. Military affairs can't be child's play, and this aspect also shows Zhang Yuan's strong side, if it is the first time to meet, it is still a little uncomfortable.

"It's over here, after you explain to Yang Zhi, go back to my eldest son with me, it's been a long time since I came out," Zhang Yuan continued, a little missing the warmth of home.

"I haven't been to the eldest son" Li Dingguo said with a smile, as long as he doesn't talk about military affairs, Zhang Yuan is still very talkative, often joking with them, very relaxed.

"I'm afraid that if you go, you will take away the hearts of the girls in our eldest son city," Zhang Yuan quipped.

Hahaha! caused Fan Lihua and others to burst into laughter.

To tell the truth, Li Dingguo is very handsome, men will take a few more looks, let alone women?

Li Dingguo blushed shyly, and hurriedly changed the topic and said:

"Zhou Cang, now that you have met our lord, you should also see it clearly, and you should join us, right?"

"This" Zhou Cang is a little embarrassed, Zhang Yuan is a good person, he cares about his subordinates, and he has no shelf. But it doesn't mean that Zhang Yuan is good to the people, this is the pimple in Zhou Cang's heart.

"Don't be embarrassed by Yuanfu, I also know what he cares about, this doesn't matter, now you can join us for the time being, if you feel that what I do is not in line with your heart, you can leave at any time?"

Zhang Yuan also somewhat understood Zhou Cang's hesitation, but Zhang Yuan had to get his hands on this person, this is not just to recruit a general, with the addition of local generals from the Three Kingdoms, it also shows that Zhang Yuan has been recognized by this world, all along, Zhang Yuan has a little unsteady feeling, he has crossed over, and the generals drawn by his subordinates are not from this time and space, and he feels empty in his heart.

"Zhou Cang, you can join us" In the past few days, Fan Lihua also fell in love with this hearty Kansai man, let go of her previous prejudices, and persuaded.

"Okay" There was so much persuasion from so many people, and Zhou Cang was a little embarrassed by Zhang Yuan's invitation from Taishou

"Okay, with the addition of Zhou Zhuangshi, the strength of our army will be raised to a higher level, and now I will appoint you as the commander of my personal guards." said categorically Zhang Yuan was happy in his heart, the wood was already in the boat, and the cooked duck could not fly.

"Thank you" has come to this point, and Zhou Cang's resignation is a score.

"Commander Zhou, in the future, the safety of the lord will be handed over to you, you have to be careful" Fan Lihua didn't expect that Zhang Yuan would hand over such an important matter related to his own safety to Zhou Cang when they met for the first time, so he had to remind Zhou Cang.

"Thank you for your trust, as long as the head on Zhou Cang's body is there, you will ensure that the lord is unscathed", Zhou Cang was also taken aback by Zhang Yuan's appointment.

"I don't want you to report to the Netherworld early," Zhang Yuan joked.

Everyone laughed again, Zhou Cang, and Pei Yuanshao were also infected by such an atmosphere and laughed.

"Pei Zhuangshi, what are your plans" When everyone gradually stopped laughing, Zhang Yuan asked Pei Yuanshao, who was eating heavily.

"My subordinates have seen the lord" Pei Yuanshao is also simply, his ability is not as outstanding as Zhou Cang, and now that Zhou Cang has agreed, what else do he insist on, besides, is it not good to follow such a lord?

"Then tell me, where do you want to work" Zhang Yuan asked with a smile, for such a straightforward man, Zhang Yuan still likes it very much, although his ability is not good.

"My brother is a little lazy, the lord should arrange a less important position for him, don't spoil the lord's affairs at a critical moment and lose his head" Zhou Cang also knew Pei Yuanshao's ability and personality, and was afraid that Pei Yuanshao would not know the height of the sky, so he hurriedly came out and said for Pei Yuanshao.

"In this case, then arrange for you to go to the Tianjing Pass in Gaodu County, south of Shangdang, there is no one there for the time being, how about you go to repair the pass first and take a pair of men and horses to garrison by the way? Zhang Yuan thought for a while and said. Tianjing Pass, guarding the road to the south of the Shangdang, is the main way for the Shangdang to enter the Central Plains, it is very important, I have long wanted to send people to garrison, but there is no suitable candidate, and I am afraid of stimulating Dong Zhuo, now let Pei Yuanshao go, and lay a nail without revealing the mountains and waters, so as to facilitate future development.

"Thank you, I like this," Pei Yuanshao scratched the back of his head honestly.

On the second day, Huguan West Gate, when I came, it was still a turquoise ocean, and when I left, it had already become a golden world.

Zhang Yuan is about to leave with the military generals Fan Lihua, Li Dingguo, Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao, and the civil official Xie Jin.

"Yang Zhi, you have to train these soldiers quickly, we will face a fierce battle after the autumn harvest, and these soldiers are our magic weapon to defeat the enemy" Zhang Yuan instructed Yang Zhi to do a good job in the training of the soldiers, but also to combine work and rest to maintain the physical strength of the soldiers, and prepare for another battle after the autumn.

"The subordinates must complete the trust of the lord"

"I believe in you, you also have this strength, this time I will work hard for you" Zhang Yuan patted Yang Zhi's shoulder and was very pleased. With more than 4,000 people brought with him when he came, plus more than 5,000 bandits who surrendered, Zhang Yuan's current military strength is close to 10,000, which is also the only shield that Zhang Yuan uses to deal with Zhang Yan's anger.

Ten miles of long pavilion, according to the pity. Zhang Yuan and his entourage bid farewell to Yang Zhiyang and spurred the horse to gallop on the golden avenue, the autumn is high and refreshing, the endless fields are covered with yellow ears of wheat, it is gratifying, the pedestrians on the road are smiling brightly, enthusiastically interpreting the joy of the harvest, the steps are brisk, and the spirit is refreshing.

There are bumper harvest scenes along the way, Zhang Yuan remembered the scene of Kangxi Weifu's private visit, he has such an opportunity now, why not give it a try? Just do what he said, and tell a few people to dress up and go with him to understand the lives of the grassroots people.

Several people dressed up as a line of passers-by, no matter how Li Dingguo dressed up, he was also a son-in-law, and he stayed behind and waited for Zhang Yuan and them with his own soldiers.

In the hot weather, tired farmers leaned under the trees to rest and cool off, and several people sat around chatting and drinking water.

"A few uncles, can you give saliva to drink" Zhang Yuan saw that there were a few people in front of him enjoying the cold, so he stepped forward and asked.

"Give it, give it, see if you're hot, drink enough, the old man has a lot of it," an old man said heartily, taking the bucket by the way and handing Zhang Yuan a spoon.

"Uncle Xie!" Zhang Yuan took a spoon and scooped it up, drank it all, and smashed it.

"Hehe, don't worry, you just drink" The old man smiled, the wrinkles on his face were piled together, revealing the vicissitudes of time.

"Come on, come here, drink some each" Zhang Yuan greeted, Shi Jin and others came over to drink some water and moisten their throats.

"Uncle, how is your harvest this year?" drinking water is secondary, chatting is the main thing.

"Okay, good," one of the old men said again and again.

"It's been many years, and this year is the best," one of them sighed.

"This year is a good year, the wind and the sun are beautiful, and it is indeed a bumper harvest year," Zhang Yuan echoed.

"Hey, young man, you're not right, I have to talk to you about it" An old man pulled his hand and looked at Zhang Yuan and said.

"Uncle, am I wrong?" Zhang Yuan walked up to the old man and said with a smile.

"Over the years, which year has been a good year, but no matter how good the year is, the Black Mountain thieves came, and they were all ruined" The old man's wrinkled eyes looked at Zhang Yuan with an expression that you understand.

"And this year?" Before Zhang Yuan finished speaking, the old man opened his mouth and said.

"This little Zhang Taishou is really our lucky star"

"How do you say that," Zhang Yuan smiled.

"This little Zhang Taishou came and helped us repel the Black Mountain thieves, so that they could no longer come to us to spoil it, and our food was saved."

"This is originally what the government does, this is their duty, what is there to say" Zhang Yuan continued to ask.

"You young man, you look very clever, why are you so confused, the government wants to take care of it, and you can send troops to take care of it, if you don't want to take care of it, what can you do with him?" The old man had an unteachable look on his face.

"Yes, too" Zhang Yuan only smiled bitterly.

"This little Zhang Taishou not only helped us take care of it, but also got rid of the nearby black mountain thieves, so we don't have to worry about the food being spoiled by them," the old man said with a smile on his eyebrows.

"You don't know yet, Xiao Zhang Taishou also helped us teach us a lesson in the county order, do you say it's powerful" The old man nodded, with a serious look, afraid that Zhang Yuan would not believe it.

"What kind of lesson is this little Zhang Taishou," Zhang Yuan looked curious.

"Come, I'll tell you," beckoned the old man,

Zhang Yuan put his ear to it, and the old man babbled about what he had seen and heard in the past few months.

"Okay, I've told you so much, the sun is about to go down, I'm busy, haha! , got up and patted the soil on his buttocks, the old man leaned over and walked to the field, and the afterglow of the sunset pulled the figure of the old man to the old elder.

"Let's go" Zhang Yuan waved his hand and led everyone away.

Zhang Yuan's purpose is not to be a small official, nothing can be bowed to everything, but Zhang Yuan can't forget the suffering of the grassroots people, their ideal is very simple, have a comfortable home, can eat and dress warmly, but there are many people who want to plunder even this most basic thing. Zhang Yuan does not want everyone to live a prosperous life, but he wants the people to live and work in peace and contentment and be comfortable for a lifetime.

Leaving the field, Zhang Yuan was silent, and the group hurried up, and came to the eldest son city before the sun set. went to the backyard and reported his mother's safety, and after a long day of running, Zhang Yuan went to bed early.

The next day, he gathered everyone to the Taishou Mansion.

Early in the morning, Zhang Yuan washed up early, had breakfast with his mother, and came to the conference hall accompanied by Zhou Cang.

Along the way, Zhou Cang was moved by Zhang Yuan's words and deeds, and seriously became the commander of the pro-soldiers and strictly performed his duties.

When I came to the conference hall, the hall was already full of people, including Shi Jin, Li Dingguo, Li Dingguo, Xie Jin, Zhao Pu and other important figures in the party. Pei Yuanshao took hundreds of people to Tianjing Pass early.

Li Dingguo and Fan Lihua chatted early, and Zhao Pu was very curious about the young man Xie Jin, and he also called aside to chat carefully.

"Ahem" coughed lightly, and Zhang Yuan stepped into the conference hall.

"The subordinates have seen the lord" and the cadres waited for Zhang Yuan to come, bowed down and saluted.

"You don't have to be polite, please sit" Zhang Yuan stepped to the first place, caressed his robe and knelt down, raised his head and looked around left and right.

"Thank you"

"Thanks to your efforts this month, we have worked together to do such a huge project so perfectly and beautifully, and I would like to thank you all here," he said, a long series, bowing to everyone.

"I see your efforts and struggles, and I hope that you will continue to work hard and create brilliance like you are now, so that people all over the world will look at it." Zhang Yuan said encouragingly.

Next, Zhao Pu took the lead, and everyone gave a detailed description of some recent affairs in turn, and everyone completed their respective things conscientiously.

"Well, you have done a good job and deserve praise, then I will talk about the division of labor in the future," Zhang Yuan cleared his throat and continued.

"First of all, after the autumn, we will likely face an attack from the Montenegrin thief Shou Zhang Yan. We must take precautions before they happen, be ready to attack, and never allow Zhang Yan's goal to succeed.

"Second, continue to expand the recruitment of soldiers, close to 100,000 Montenegrin to join, we can completely increase recruitment, we will face more wars in the future, sufficient soldiers to ensure that we can successfully complete the mission, and there is strict training for these thousands of people currently recruited to be able to be sent to the battlefield after the autumn harvest.

"Third, there is Zu Ti as the cavalry captain, and strive to establish our cavalry team as soon as possible and establish a horse source channel.

"Fourth, Xie Jin was appointed as the chief secretary of the party, responsible for transporting grain and grass, and preparing abundant materials for the war after the autumn harvest.

That's what we're doing right now, do you have any objections? Zhang Yuan asked after speaking in one breath.

Zhao Pu, who started his hand, watched Zhang Yuan open his mouth, but closed it again, and sat there quietly, as if thinking about something. Xie Jin sat upright, not sad or happy.

The generals present are inexplicably excited, in the face of war, the generals are bloodthirsty, hearing the war is like a shark smelling blood, crazy.
