Chapter 57: See the Sheep Continued
"I look at the two of them very well, and they must not be in the pool. I wonder if you would like to join us? Liu Yuandao.
"What position does the general want to give me?" Yang Hu asked.
"I can first grant you the post of minister, and unify a thousand people. The development after that depends on your own efforts. Liu Yuandao.
Yanghu's strength is not too much to give any official position. But when you meet for the first time, you can't promise too much. Moreover, the minister is already the biggest official position that Liu Yuan can call the shots.
"There's something you don't know? I'm young, how did I get into the eyes of the general? Yang Hu said.
"Ambition is not in old age. The brother knows the world's characters well, analyzes reasonably, and is admirable. I don't have that kind of talent in my command. To tell you the truth, I'm not even seventeen years old now, so how can I think my brother is young? Liu Yuandao.
"Say something offensive. I only know about the general's deeds, but I don't know much about other aspects of the general, and I don't know if the general is the person I am looking for. Yang Hu said.
"The more we get along, the more you get to know me. How do you know if I'm the person you're looking for if you don't try? My brother is young, so he can try it under my command, and it's not a bad thing to have more experience. If it's not suitable, there are other options. As long as you are talented, in today's situation, are you afraid that there will be no future? Liu Yuandao.
Listening to Liu Yuan's words, Yanghu pondered and seemed to be a little moved.
Liu Yuan didn't say much, and waited patiently.
"Ministers are known for their use of force, but although I have also learned martial arts, I am not very proficient in them, and I may not be qualified for the position of minister." Yanghu Road.
"What do you think of my martial arts, brother?" Liu Yuan did not answer Yanghu's question directly.
"With all due respect, I've heard that generals are known for their strategy. According to my observations, the general's martial arts should be similar to mine. Yang Hu said.
Liu Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Your evaluation is very accurate, in fact, my martial arts should not be as good as yours, but I am already a four-rank general." Moreover, when I was a minister, martial arts were at the level of a tun chief. You're much better than me. Leading troops depends not only on martial arts to convince the public, but more importantly, on the ability of the commander to be strong and strategic. Liu Yuandao.
After listening to Liu Yuan's words, before Yang Hu could speak, Yang Huiyu said: "Brother, I think General Liu is very sincere, you can seriously consider it." ”
Maybe it was Liu Yuan's charm of 70 that had an effect, or maybe it was my sister's words that strengthened Yanghu's confidence.
It didn't take long for Yanghu to bow slightly to Liu Yuan and said, "Thanks to the general's trust, I would like to worship the general." ”
"Good!" Hearing that Yanghu was willing to serve himself as the master, Liu Yuan was overjoyed, quickly moved forward, helped Yanghu up, and said: "With the help of General Yang, I am like a tiger with wings!" ”
Yanghu stood up and said, "The lord is too polite, I am very grateful to the lord for not giving up, and I am very grateful for the income." ”
Later, Liu Yuan introduced Hu Sanniang to the two of them.
Such a smooth subjugation of the Yanghu sisters and brothers, Liu Yuan himself did not expect it. Liu Yuan had to sigh, the role of charm is not small. If you want to be at the beginning, it will be even more difficult to accept everything.
Now Liu Yuan wants to have a temperament, a status, a reputation, a handsome appearance, and good clothes, so his attraction to generals is naturally high.
If Liu Yuan was still an unknown beggar, he would not be loyal to him if he killed Yanghu.
While subduing Yang Hu, Liu Yuan also checked his loyalty and Yang Huiyu's attributes.
Yang Huiyu, 45 Force, 78 Commander, 82 Strategy, 83 Politics, 93 Charisma, 80 Loyalty, Strategist Skill: Formation Mastery.
As the queen of Sima Shi, of course, Yang Huiyu's appearance is needless to say, and her charm has reached 93, which is normal. Politics, strategy, and commanders are also good. As a randomly summoned general, Liu Yuan was already very satisfied.
Yanghu's loyalty is 75, which is relatively low, probably because he is still waiting and seeing, and he is not sure that Liu Yuan is the lord he is worthy of allegiance for a lifetime.
Liu Yuan also knew that this matter was urgent. For a general like Yanghu, he can only slowly return to his heart through efforts again and again.
Anyway, there is finally the first first-level general.
In this way, Liu Yuan took the Yanghu sisters and brothers, and led a large army to march towards Wu County.
Seeing Chen Gong again, Liu Yuan once again inquired about his attributes. After getting Yanghu, Liu Yuan could finally inquire about the attributes of the first-level generals.
"56 in the armed forces, 78 in command, 91 in strategy, 85 in politics, and a first-class strategist. Strategist Skill: Formation Master (Normal). Skill effect: Increases the combat power of all subordinate soldiers by 5%. ”
The attributes are good, in addition to the strategy of more than 90, the politics and commanders are also quite high. The skills are also very powerful. Liu Yuan was very satisfied.
"Gongtai, now that we have 8,000 soldiers and horses, what should we do next?" Liu Yuandao.
It is a sin not to use a first-class strategist.
"With 8,000 court elites, it is enough to deal with more than 10,000 rabble. However, if you want to take the city, there will be heavy casualties. The foundation of the Taishan Goat Clan is in Wu County, and after Yan Baihu occupied Wu County, although he did not dare to touch a big clan like the Taishan Goat Clan, what he did would still damage the interests of the Taishan Goat Clan to a greater or lesser extent. If the general can get the support of the Yang clan and cooperate with them inside and outside, he can achieve great success. Chen Gong said.
What a clever idea! Chen Gong was quite interesting, although he was reluctant to follow him, and he didn't have much reservations when he gave advice.
But the patriarch of the Yang clan, Yang Xu, is now Nanyang Taishou, and he wants to say that the Taishan Goat clan has to start from him. Now Liu Yuan and his entourage are in Danyang County, next door to Wu County. Now, I have to go through the state and the county to Nanyang County, Jingzhou, which is too detouring.
Chen Gong, this guy, has such a good plan and doesn't take the initiative to say it, so he has to wait for me to ask, so I have walked so many miles in vain. Liu Yuan was slightly dissatisfied in his heart.
Liu Yuan looked at Chen Gong with a strange expression, but Chen Gong looked at his nose and nose, pretending not to know.
Knowing that you are now an uncle, if I don't serve well, you won't give me advice. I endure! Although Liu Yuan was dissatisfied, he also knew that now that Chen Gong was not at home, he was forced to follow him, and he might have some resentment in his heart, and it was good to be able to guide him.
In fact, Liu Yuan didn't take many detours, because Chen Wen must be prescient. Otherwise, Yang Xu heard that you only have 3,000 soldiers and horses, and whether you will cooperate with you will be questioned.
In order to maintain the vitality of the sheep, the sheep must be seen. Liu Yuan decided to take a few people to ride at full speed to Nanyang County, and Yanghu led the rest of the troops to be stationed in Danyang County.
The lord actually handed over all his family wealth to himself, and Yanghu didn't expect it at all. Feeling Liu Yuan's trust, his loyalty increased by three points.
It is difficult for a general like Yanghu to give his all at once. Three more loyalty points are already a lot.
In fact, Liu Yuan, the commander of the army, has many candidates. Zhu Wu, Yanghu and Chen Gong. The commander of Chen Gong is not low, but he has not recognized Liu Yuan as the master, and Yanghu has 75 loyalty.
The commander of Zhu Wu 70 is also enough, and his loyalty is higher. But Liu Yuan just wants to let Yanghu know that he is meritocracy, not cronyism. Meng Huo's family, the commander is not low, but the strategy is too low. As for Hu Cheng and others, their ability is even more insufficient.
A few days later, Liu Yuan and his entourage arrived at Nanyang Taishou Mansion. learned that Tai Shouyang continued to be seriously ill and bedridden. When Liu Yuanzheng didn't know what to do, a subordinate came over.
"Lord Yang is unwell, please enter General Liu into the bedroom to talk in detail."
Liu Yuan, accompanied by Hu Sanniang, followed the people of the Taishou Mansion into Yang Xu's bedroom.
"I have heard the name of General Liu for a long time, and I finally saw it today. Old and sick, it is inconvenient to get up to greet him, General Liu, please feel free to sit. Yang Xu lay on the sickbed and said.
"I don't know if the sheep is too guarded and your body is sick, Liu Yuan is a little reckless here." Liu Yuan looked at Yang Xu's sallow face, and felt a little ashamed in his heart.
Thinking that he was now seeing Yanghu's own grandfather in his previous life, Liu Yuan felt a sense of absurdity in his heart.
"General Liu, don't be polite. I don't know, the general is here, what is the so-called matter? Yang continued to ask.
Liu Yuan knew that Yang Xu's state was not good, so he was no longer polite, and said bluntly: "I can't hide it, the imperial court named me the Taishou of Wu County, and hoped that I would exterminate Yan Baihu." But I now have only 8,000 men and horses, and if I forcibly attack the city, the losses will be heavy. So, I wanted to ask an adult for help. If your people can join forces with me, they will definitely be able to take Wu County in one fell swoop. ”
"There is no problem with this matter, the general will stay in the Taishou Mansion for a while, and I will prepare it." Yang Xu said without hesitation.
