The short-bodied Chinese-clothed scribe smiled, stepped forward again, and said to the young master, "My lord, this is exactly the person. These two people are no one else, but Chen Lin and Zhang Song, who have been in Guanghan for more than half a month, at this time the two were drinking in the restaurant, and happened to see Gan Ning on the street, and saw Gan Ning swaggering through the market, Chen Lin couldn't help but ask Zhang Song.

Chen Lin glanced at the three ordinary guards who accompanied him, and said to Zhang Song: "Youping once mentioned this person, saying that this person is also good and evil, but he is a good man. Zhang Song: "Hehe, lord, General Zhou can also describe it like this, this person is a native of Linjiang in Ba County, and his father Gan Hu is a brave man who is a righteous hero, and he is a well-known hero in Ba County." Gan Xingba is more than 20 years old, but in the past two years, there have been many rumors about him, and it is said that he went home to read a hundred books. Three years ago, there was a wealthy family in Jiangzhou to marry, both of them were family friends, but on the wedding day, the bride cried a few times because she was reluctant to give up her mother, and she didn't want to be seen by Gan Xingba, so Gan Xingba thought it was a man's marriage, and actually led three or four hundred accomplices to snatch the bride together, which was a sensation. ”

Chen Lin: "Uh-hahaha, interesting, interesting, when Youping talked about this person, he had a sense of recommending this person to a certain person, I don't know how this person's martial arts are, how can he be?" Zhang Song was stunned: "Oh, General Zhou wants to recommend this person, and now this person is originally Linjiang, but he is under the rule of Jia Qiande, but he came to my Guanghan County, could it be that this person came to join the lord with General Zhou's hint?" Lord, this person is a prodigal wreck, although his martial arts are good, but he is undisciplined, and he is only afraid that it will be difficult to control in the future, if this person commits a crime, will the lord be punished or not? ”

Chen Lin smiled: "Since ancient times, the selection of virtuous and capable people must be virtuous and talented, but there are several virtuous and talented people in the world, and everyone under a certain command, including Ziqiao, no one has any flaws. If it is not useful because of this, a certain Hanzhong will not suffer serious losses, and those who are people must promote their strengths and avoid weaknesses, and those who employ people must be the only ones to teach morality. People have strengths, specializations, and are proficient in the law, and those who are selfless and selfless like Gao Dingyuan can control the law; Those who are good at government affairs and understand governance, such as those who plant can govern one side; Brave and resolute people such as Hansheng and Gao Shun can charge into battle and capture the flag; Zi Qiaowen and you can be conspirators, they all use their own strengths, and they accept their own shortcomings, that's all. ”

Zhang Song was shocked, although Chen Lin's words seemed to be done invisibly, but no one had ever seriously thought about it and said it, Confucianism emphasizes virtue and use, but Chen Lin's words are a bit against the original intention of Confucianism. If the world's scholars knew that Chen Lin was talking about meritocracy, Chen Lin would inevitably be attacked by the scholars. Since the deposition of Confucianism, the strength and advantages of the scholars have been continuously improved, and they have almost monopolized the entire officialdom. The lowly people didn't even have the right to be educated and educated, countless talented and intelligent children were stifled, and the power of the Haoqiang clan in the officialdom was the same as the land, which was constantly annexed, and finally a huge wealthy family like the Yuan family appeared, and at its peak, the protégés of a large family could almost control an empire.

Zhang Song's appearance was ugly, which did not meet the standards of being an official at that time, but since he saw Chen Lin to the present, Chen Lin has not said a word about it at all, Chen Lin focuses on Zhang Song's talent. So at this time, although Zhang Song was shocked, he agreed with Chen Lin's point of view.

Chen Lin looked at Zhang Song's rather surprised expression, smiled, glanced at Gan Ning who disappeared into the street, and turned back to a guard and said, "Go back and ask Mr. Wenhe to arrange for Wuying to keep an eye on the 'Jinfan thief' and report it at any time." The guards bowed their heads and hurriedly went downstairs, leaving Chen Lin and Zhang Song upstairs chatting and laughing.

In the evening of the same day, Chen Lin and Zhang Song returned to the Wu Mansion, and as soon as they entered the door, they greeted Zhou Cang, only to see Zhou Cang shouting with an unhappy face: "Young Master, let someone go out, I haven't left this fart mansion for more than half a month in Shu." "It's like a child who is locked in the house, and he almost cries and makes a fuss, which is very funny. In order not to be noticed, Chen Lin made all the people who entered Shu not allowed to leave the Wu Mansion at will, especially an obvious figure like Zhou Cang, so from the moment he entered the Wu Mansion, Zhou Cang never had to go out, and he wandered around the Wu Mansion every day, but he was bored with Zhou Cang. Chen Lin was amused in his heart, but his face was blue and angry: "If you dare to go out a step, Guan Ru will not be allowed to enter and exit a room in the future." Ignoring Zhou Cang, who was cursed, he went straight into the mansion with Zhang Song.

After walking a few steps, he said: "I want Wenhe and Xiaozhi to come over." Not long after, not only Fa Zheng and Jia Xu but also Wu Yi, who had returned to the house, also came over, Chen Lin saw it, and simply ordered someone to go out and let Gao Shun and Fa Yan come too. In order to avoid people's eyes, Gao Shun has also come to Wu Mansion once in the past half a month, and at this time, he suddenly got Chen Lin's order, and thought that something big had happened, so he rushed over.

Everyone sat down, Chen Lin looked around, and said, "Let's talk about things in Shuzhong." After Chen Lin finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but look at Wu Yi and Gao Shun, because this Guanghan was dominated by these two people. Wu Yi looked at it and said to Gao Shun: "General Gao, you are in charge of the military, so let the general and the lord say it." When Gao Shun heard this, he was not ambiguous, and immediately stood up and said: "A month ago, the lord ordered the cities to open the city gate only one hour every day at noon, and recruited troops on the spot * practice, according to the scout report, the lord's plan should be to deceive Lord Liu Zhoumu, and now the state herd in the north of Chengdu and the south of my Guanghan Tuojiang River after thousands of troops will move the army to the lower reaches of the Tuojiang River, and at the same time in Qianwei County to raise troops under the Minjiang River, Tuojiang and Minjiang are less than two hundred and fifty miles apart, and they can be reached in five days. The two counties of Liuzhou Mu are sent together, and the pressure on Zhuti County in the south of central Shu has doubled, and now Jiangyang has gathered more than 30,000 troops, preparing to fight with Liu Zhoumu, Jia Qiande is still motionless in Jiangzhou, and the 30,000 or 40,000 army has neither the intention of attacking Jiangyang in the west nor going north to Deyang, which makes people wonder Jia Qiande's intentions. ”

Liu Yan finally moved, the army went south, okay, this is the result that Chen Lin wants, as long as Liu Yan's army goes south and fights with Ren An's army in Jiangyang, at that time, as soon as the war starts, even if Liu Yan wants to retreat, he can't retreat, and that is when Chen Lin sneaks into Chengdu. At this time, when Jia Xu heard Gao Shun say that Jia Long was in Jiangzhou, he couldn't help but feel a little worried, and hurriedly asked Wu Yi: "Lord Wu, how is the recruitment situation in Guanghan and Brazil counties now?" ”

Wu Yi: "It has been a month since the start of recruitment, and the 3,000 recruits in Guanghan have been basically equipped, but the training is insufficient, and they can fight in half a year; On the side of Lord Du, Cai and Yang, the two generals, also acted according to the order, and had recruited 4,000 recruits, who practiced every day, and could not be used for a short period of time, but could only be used for defending the city. "Recruits are different from soldiers, as long as they can stabilize the morale of the army, they can be put into the battlefield in a blink of an eye, but recruits can't, they have no combat experience.

Chen Lin saw that Jia Xu's face was not pale, and seemed to be dignified, and hurriedly asked, "Wenhe, what's wrong?" Jia Xu shook his head: "Lord, I don't know, I just remembered the design of Jia Qiande and Ren Dingzu and others a year ago." Chen Lin also felt serious, a year ago Jia Long and Ren An did a good show, almost deceived everyone, if it wasn't for Liu Yan who also made a scene with Zhang Lu at that time, and Zhang Lu was accidentally killed by Chen Lin, I don't know what would have happened that time. Jia Xu's words are very clear, if Jia Long and Ren An's disagreement this time is still a scheme, then it is not only Liu Yan who will be fooled, but also Chen Lin may be counted. Chen Lin was still thinking about drawing troops to attack Chengdu when Liu Yan and Ren An were fighting just now, if Jia Long from Jiangzhou took the opportunity to go north, then Brazil would be over. The premise of Jia Long daring to go north is that he doesn't have to guard against Ren An's army to the west, so Jia Xu will be worried, worried that Jia Long and Ren An are acting again.

Can't miss the opportunity, and can't be deceived, Chen Lin is in a dilemma, no troops, if Jia Long and Ren An really parted ways, wouldn't it be the best opportunity to sneak attack Chengdu, you must know that it was not easy to hide the news that Chen Lin had entered Shu. But if Jia Long takes the opportunity to go north, how will Brazil resist after being transferred. Jia Xu and the others were all thinking about it, and suddenly rushed in a person, but it was Chen Lin's guards, only to see the guards kneeling down at Chen Lin and saying, "My lord." But looking at the people present with his left and right eyes, Chen Lin knew that the guards were afraid that these people would know, so he raised his voice and said: "Say it, everyone here is the pillar of my Hanzhong, but it doesn't hurt to say it." "Joke, the real secret is definitely not going to be told by the guards, at least it has to be without a shadow. But Chen Lin was so moved that everyone present decided that Chen Lin trusted him.

"The Gan Xingba, who Lord Xiangwu wants to pay attention to, is making a lot of noise in the county government at this time, shouting to see Lord Wu." After that, he glanced at Wu Yi. Wu Yi was taken aback, what kind of person dares to make noise in the county government, Gan Xingba? Sail thief? Wu Yi didn't know Chen Lin's orders today, but Jia Xu knew and heard of Gan Ning, and knew that Chen Lin seemed to intend to use this person. Wu Yi was about to stand up and rush out, this Gan Xingba dared to make trouble at this time, didn't he deliberately make himself ugly in front of the lord. But I heard Jia Xu shouting: "Lord Wu stays." Jia Xu turned to Chen Lin again and said, "Lord, there is a plan that can solve the dilemma of our army." ”

On the second day, a secret letter came out of Guanghan Pegasus and went straight to Deyang.

On the fourth day, if there are people in Deyang City, they will find that the two generals did not appear in the barracks, and the four thousand old departments of the two generals disappeared together, and now only Wu Ban, the deputy general of the original Cai Yang General, led four thousand recruits to deploy in Deyang. People outside Deyang City don't know, they just see that Deyang City is still fluttering flags, gongs and drums are noisy, and it is no different from the past.

On the fifth day, the Brazilian Taishou Du Wei led a team to Deyang to reward the army, and never left Deyang.
