Chapter 40: The Doorman
Recruitment takes time, it can be a month or a few months.
Therefore, Liu Feng went to greet Gan first and resigned. Of course, Liu Bei's side also needs it.
The process is very simple, even Gan Shi did not show how reluctant, as a woman who has experienced too many winds and waves, she knows what it means for men to be ambitious.
After bidding farewell to the elders, Liu Feng took Zhang Dao, who had stayed in the Taishou Mansion for one night, and ten elite soldiers to set off outside the city.
Not far east of the city is a small campsite, remote from the road. There are also soldiers in hand, so the occasional passer-by does not dare to approach, although they are curious to glance at it.
Of course, this camp is the place where Mi Zhu put Liu Feng's baggage for recruitment, as well as money.
After Liu Feng came here with his group, he came to meet a middle-aged man outside the camp, surnamed Xu and with a positive name. He is an important adjutant under the Mi Zhu account.
Liu Feng occasionally made some friends.
Xu Zheng led Liu Feng and his party into the camp, pointed to the money and baggage, and counted them in front of Liu Feng.
Everything counts.
"The young general is first involved in the military this time, when the young eagle soars into the sky, he will definitely smile in the sky." After the counting, Xu Zheng smiled and said to Liu Fengdao.
Mi Zhu privately gave Liu Feng a sum of money, completely out of good intentions. also hid it from Liu Bei, otherwise he would not have specially put his baggage and money outside the city. He also sent soldiers and officials to handle them.
Of course, the people who left the guards were also henchmen.
Therefore, with a gentle smile, Liu Feng raised his fist and said, "Thank you Lord Xu for your auspicious words." ”
"Huh." Xu Zheng smiled, glanced at Zhang Dao, who was directing the soldiers to carry the baggage, and said softly: "There is a way to be virtuous and not avoid relatives, I see the lack of small officials around the young general, I have a younger brother, twenty-five years old, the talent is not very good, but the victory is to be able to call, once traveled the entire Jingzhou, Jiangdong." I have also been to Yizhou. I wonder what the major general thinks? ”
Xu is Mi Zhu's henchman, and for Mi Zhu's sake, he can't refuse him. What's more, Liu Feng is indeed short of people around him.
What's more, everyone has an upward heart, and people are optimistic about themselves, so they recommend their younger brother to come over, build a line, and look forward to going up.
When you are in turmoil, how can you cut off people's financial paths, cut off people's career paths, and form a trace of grudges.
After pondering for a moment, Liu Feng said with a smile: "From scratch, everything has to be done by yourself, and it is very hard to follow me." ”
The implication is self-evident.
The smile on Xu Zheng's face was even bigger, and he raised his fist and said: "It is a blessing for the young general to be able to use his brother, so why not talk about hard work." ”
"Well, I'll just wait here for a moment." Liu Feng said with a smile.
"Wait a minute, the young general, I'll send someone to change my brother." Xu Zheng was overjoyed, raised his fist and said goodbye, and left in a hurry.
Opportunities are given to those who are prepared, even if they are petty officials. Maybe we will use it in the future. Looking at Xu Zheng's back, Liu Feng said silently in his heart.
"Major General, the baggage has been moved, do you want to go?" After a while, Zhang Dao came to Liu Feng's side and asked softly.
Three hundred and fifty pairs of leather armor, three hundred and fifty spears, fifty long swords, fifty hard bows, and a few arrows, it sounds like a lot, but it is only a little after loading.
The surplus was 300 stone of grain, which required a full fifteen carts to pull it. Add in tents, etc., and that adds up to 50 cars.
Fortunately, Mi Zhu has long considered this kind of thing, and when it is equipped, it is not only equipped with a large car, but also equipped with dozens of coachmen. These coachmen will follow Liu Feng in the future.
To raise 300 elite soldiers, you need dozens of miscellaneous soldiers, including those who pull carts, cook food, and so on.
"Wait, that Lord Xu recommended a colleague to me." Liu Feng stopped with a smile. Speaking of this, Liu Feng is not afraid of Zhang Dao's heart, it is not an idle errand to be in charge of three hundred people, and two or three small officials are not too much.
What's more, listening to what Xu Zheng said, that Xu Tian should be familiar with many local customs and suitable for being a doorman, rather than a knife and pen official.
"No." Zhang Dao promised and stood next to Liu Feng and waited quietly. There was no change in his expression.
Not long after, Na Xu Zheng walked in, followed by a man who was similar to him, but ten years younger.
The man was neatly dressed, his face was neat, and his gaze was steady. When he is not an evil villain, Liu Feng's first impression of him is good.
"Major General, this is my brother Xu Tian." Xu Zheng bent down and saluted Liu Feng, and then pointed to the man behind him.
"Meet the Major General." Xu Tian also quickly stepped forward to greet Dao.
"Hmm." Liu Feng nodded and said, "You will be my subordinate in the future." "Of course the people under him need to understand, but not now. After Liu Feng said a word, he turned his head to Zhang Dao and said, "Let's go." ”
Immediately, Liu Feng raised his fist to Xu Zheng and said: "Brother Ling, I'll take it away, don't worry about it." Xu Tian bowed to Xu Zheng, "Say goodbye to my brother." ”
Xu Zheng didn't say anything meaty, just smiled and nodded. Seeing Liu Feng and others with dozens of carts, they headed west.
After walking more than ten miles, Liu Feng glanced at Xu Tian, who was riding a horse next to him, looking very silent. asked with a smile: "I heard Lord Xu say, you have traveled to Jingzhou, Yangzhou, and Yizhou, and your knowledge should be very broad." ”
"Major General Qiyu, his subordinates have indeed traveled to Jingzhou, but Yangzhou is limited to Jiangdong, and Yizhou is also limited to Hanzhong. I don't have a lot of knowledge, but I just know a little about local things. Xu Tian raised his fist and replied.
Judging from this sentence, Liu Feng's impression of Xu Tian is a little better. If you don't say anything, there is no time to debunk. Xu Tian said this, which is a calm performance.
It means that this person does not look calm on the outside, but also on the inside.
However, Liu Feng was most interested in not this, he was interested in Hanzhong from Xu Tian's mouth.
Thinking of Hanzhong, Liu Feng couldn't help but think of some words in Zhao Yun's mouth. Although it was three years ago, it seemed like yesterday to Liu Feng.
I was worried about it.
"Oh? So you know Hanzhong very well? Liu Feng asked urgently.
"Understand something." Xu Tian nodded.
"Then do you know about the fact that the war horses of Liangzhou entered Jingzhou from Hanzhong?" Liu Feng immediately asked this question, and his eyes were even wider as he looked at Xu Tian.
The look of expectation is very strong, and he wants to build a world-class cavalry for Zhao Yun and Shu Han for three years, but in the past three years, he has no power, no conditions, and no money. Nothing could be done, so I had to come down.
But now that he has military power, he is no longer confined to Shinno. There are a thousand gold. I guess I'll be able to buy some horses.
The more Liu Feng thought about it, the brighter his eyes became.
