Chapter 128: Winning a Good General

I heard that the young man in front of him was the number one prince today, the son of the general, Jizhou Mu Yuan Shao Yuan Benchu, the blue-robed scholar and more than a dozen rangers couldn't help but be in awe, and they all saluted, and said in unison: "Meet the son!" ”

Yuan Mai returned the salute with a smile, and finally stopped his eyes on the young man who used the horse lance, just now I saw him fighting with the Taishan thief, he was skilled in martial arts, and seemed to be above Hao Zhao, commanding more than a dozen rangers to fight against the bandits twenty times his own, without fear, courageous, he was a talent, I don't know who it is?

"Huh...... Dare to ask the strong man's name, where does he come from, and where does his desire go? Yuan Mai asked the young man who was using the horse lance with his wrist crossed, his eyes full of longing.

The young man hugged his wrist again and returned the salute: "Caomin Langya County, surnamed Xu Mingsheng, the words are forward." I heard that General Sun Bofu of Jiangdong was recruiting troops and preparing to defect. ”

"Xu Sheng?"

Yuan Mai's heart was "groaning", and he was suddenly overjoyed. Is this Xu Sheng, the pillar of the late Soochow period? Is it Xu Wenxiang who broke Cao Pi with fire? Jiangcai, it really took no effort to come here, I didn't expect this trip to Langya to have such a harvest, it was really a big surprise!

In Yuan Mai's heart, Xu Sheng's comprehensive strength is only above Hao Zhao and Wang Shuang. In terms of the ability to command troops and defend the army, Xu Sheng is not as good as Hao Zhao; In terms of martial arts and the ability to charge into battle, Xu Sheng is not as good as Wang Shuang, but his comprehensive ability is better than the two.

Hao Zhao's defense is stronger, but his comprehensive ability to attack, command troops, and charge on the battlefield should be slightly weaker than Xu Sheng; In addition to winning Xu Sheng by force, Wang Shuang was even worse than Xu Sheng in terms of army command and resourcefulness.

If it weren't for the fact that there were too many governors in the early period of Eastern Wu. There was a generation of heroes Zhou Gongjin in the past, Lu Meng in the back, and then Lu Xun in the back, Xu Sheng didn't get much opportunity to display his talents, otherwise he would definitely shine and become a general who stands alone. Until the middle and late stages of the Three Kingdoms, Haojie gradually passed away, and Xu Sheng rose together with Ding Feng and became the strongest pillar of Eastern Wu!

Although he was overjoyed in his heart, Yuan Mai tried his best to restrain his joy. It doesn't show on the face. If you are too excited. will inevitably give people a sense of frivolity, and if he praises Xu Sheng's talent too much, it will inevitably make people suspicious, and he has never known him. How do you know how capable he is?

"Xu Zhuangshi. I see you all dressed in martial arts. is bold, why bother to go to Jiangdong? Although Yuan buys not talented. But I already have the rich land of Hanoi in my hands, 30,000 elite soldiers in my hands, dozens of good generals, I am also recruiting troops everywhere, recruiting good talents, Wen Xiang will stay and create a great cause with me! ”

Yuan Mai pulled Xu Sheng's person with a smile on his face, and tried his best to win him over. The words are extremely respectful, and if Xu Sheng works for himself, he can also say that he will create a great cause together, with the tone of a corporal of Lixian.

Xu Sheng's heart moved when he heard this, and as soon as he came into contact, he had a good impression of Yuan Mai's polite image, anyway, whoever he worked for was working hard, so it was better to reward his confidant with his ability, right?

"Since I appreciate it, Xu Sheng is not talented, and I am willing to serve the work of dogs and horses!" Xu Sheng shook his body and saluted Yuan Mai to thank him.

In fact, before this, Xu Sheng also considered whether to join the Yuan family. But I heard that Yuan Shao has a good name, and he values fame and ignores talent, and he appreciates and favors the famous scholars, but the Han clan from a poor background is not very important. After weighing it repeatedly, he still brought more than a dozen neighbors and decided to go to Jiangdong to seek refuge with the high-spirited little overlord Sun Ce.

Unexpectedly, he met Yuan Shao's son here. What I didn't expect was that Yuan Shao's son did not have the rumored Yuan Shao's style at all, and he was polite to others, so Xu Shengcai changed his mind and decided to work for the Yuan family.

Inadvertently gained a general, Yuan Mai's joy in his heart is indescribable, this is even happier than getting a beauty. With talents, you can compete for the world, and with the world, there will be more beauties sent to the door. And if there are only beautiful women, if there are no talents, I am afraid that in the end, I will have to hand them over obediently; Just like Zhang Xiu's aunt Zou, and Zhen Mi in the history of the Three Kingdoms, aren't they all ending like this?

The law of the jungle is the law of the jungle, and the king is defeated, this is an eternal truth. Beauty belongs to the hegemon, and those who win the world sleep on it, the same is true!

"Okay, Xu Wenxiang is a martial artist, he is a rare talent, I will reward you as a military candidate, and then you will be promoted after making a meritorious service!" Yuan Mai was in a good mood, patted Xu Sheng on the shoulder, and promoted him to the rank of military candidate.

In fact, in Yuan Mai's heart, he thinks that the current Xu Sheng is a lieutenant, but the army still talks about qualifications, Xu Sheng has just enlisted in the army, and if he is promoted too quickly, it will be difficult to convince the public.

At this time, the formation of the ranks of the princes of all walks of life still adopted the traditional organization of the Han Dynasty, and every five people in the military camp formed a team, and the leader was called the captain; Ten people are one tithe, and even the chief is the head; Fifty people are a team, and the leader is called the team leader; One hundred people are a tun, and the chief is called the tun chief; Two hundred people formed a song, and the commander was called the military candidate; A thousand people form a department, the leader is called the military Sima, and there are also those called the captain, these two official positions are of the same level, but the titles are different, and the captain is a partial general if he goes up.

A group of generals under Yuan Mai, Wang Shuang's position is only a partial general now, and Hao Zhao is only a general, one level lower than the partial general. Zhou Cang is a school captain, and he is a military commander; Tian Chou's identity in the army is to join the army, and now he is the county lord Bo, serving as a civilian.

They were all gradually promoted through a period of accumulation of military achievements. If he promoted Xu Sheng too high as soon as he came up, he would definitely not be able to convince the public. So after careful consideration, Yuan Mai granted Xu Sheng the position of military candidate and put him in charge of a team of 200 people.

Although Yuan Mai felt that the position of the military candidate was low, Xu Sheng was already very content, and knelt down on one knee to thank him: "Thank you Gongzi for his exceptional promotion, Xu Sheng dares to disobey the work of dogs and horses?" ”

"Wen Xiang doesn't have to be polite, give full play to your talents, I believe you have the talent of a general!"

Yuan Mai helped Xu Sheng up with a smile on his face and gave him a word of encouragement. Only then did he remember that there was a scribe standing next to him, and said with a smile: "I have snubbed this gentleman." ”

The tone of treatment of this blue-robed scholar was not as respectful as that of Xu Sheng, because in Yuan Mai's heart, he felt that this was just a scholar who loved to read, shaking his head, a bit of a pedantic scholar, and he probably didn't have any great skills. decided to say a few polite words, send someone to send him back to Langya first, and go wherever he likes after the war!

"In Xia Zhuge ......" did not wait for Yuan Mai to inquire, but the blue-robed scholar reported his name.

Just spit out four words, Yuan Mai almost fell to the ground. If it was a surprise to hear Xu Sheng's name, this time it was a big surprise!
