As the saying goes, a sword is sharpened in ten years, and Zhou Zhi's sword has been sharpened for more than ten years, and the reaction speed of his mind is extraordinary.

After analyzing the remaining generals in his head, and adding his understanding of Wang Xu on weekdays, he quickly selected three people.

One of them is Huang Zhong's son, Huang Xu.

The second is Liao Hua, who was born in the Yellow Turban, but has been in Jingzhou for several years, and is extremely outstanding.

The third is Wang Xu's younger brother, who is inconspicuous, but under the command of the generals of various departments, Wang Xiong, who has been fighting with him for many years.

The rest of the generals, such as Wu Lan, Lei Tong, Yang Huai, Leng Bao and others, he believed that it was by no means Wang Xu, and he was also not a willing candidate in his heart.

In this very short period of time, Zhou Zhi not only figured out this, but also realized that the reason why Wang Xu asked him to kiss him was obviously to hope that he would come forward to protect him. Because these three people, no matter who they are, are not qualified enough, especially the promotion of Wang Xiong, it will give people the impression of cronyism.

Like Zhang He and others, after all, they are famous generals who have been famous for many years, and they are looking forward to the achievements there, and they lack some qualifications, and they can also find an excuse to stabilize first, and everyone is not good at saying anything.

But these three people are different, they have the ability and great potential, but their qualifications are too low, if Wang Xu speaks in person, it will inevitably cause criticism.

But if you give up these three suitable seeds, you have to choose some people with enough qualifications, but relatively low ability and potential, not to mention that Wang Xu is unwilling, and he Zhou Zhi is also unwilling, this is the army he leads, and he doesn't want to be held back.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhi quickly raised his head. looked at Wang Xu with a strange expression. Shouted, "Boss." Words count! ”

"Of course it counts! In such a meeting, is there any reason for jokes? Wang Xu's eyes flashed, with the tacit understanding between him and Zhou Zhi, he already felt from his eyes that the other party understood his meaning.

Zhou Zhi smiled and said decisively: "Then Huang Xu, Liao Hua, and Wang Xiong are any two of them." ”

Wang Xu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he pretended to be suspicious on his face, and hesitated: "Although the three of them have some skills. The potential is great and it is worth cultivating, but now that he is in the upper position, it seems that he is far from qualified and difficult to convince the public, so why not choose others? ”

"Good boss, good lord! You also know that I'm a person with a free and uninhibited personality, and I am naturally a person who even calls me all over the place, so I naturally have some quirks. ”

Zhou Zhi has always had the nickname of a rogue general. At the moment, he also confirmed his own style, and said: "Zilong, Hansheng, Wenyuan, they." Outstanding meritorious service, when the world's famous generals, are the choice of the commander of the legion, it is really inappropriate to succumb to my subordinates, and it is not conducive to commanding up and down, and I really can't look at other people, so I will say that the three of them are to my liking. ”

As he spoke, he pretended to pout, opened his eyes wide, and said, "Boss, as the lord of Jingyi Erzhou, you will not break your word!" ”

"This ......" Wang Xu pretended to hesitate, and said helplessly after a while: "Since you promised in public, you won't break your promise, but after all, they are still young, and they suddenly took the position, someone must be promoted, are you willing to be promoted?" ’

"I'm willing to protect the two of them!" Zhou Zhi patted his chest and swore an oath.

"Alright then!" Wang Xu nodded, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then it will be your wish, I think Huang Xu will temporarily lead General Jianzhi, and Wang Xiong will temporarily lead General Yamen, and go to you to command two divisions." ”

"But there is a word in advance, if there is a business trip, I will dismiss them at any time, you have to lead well, and strive to let them make more meritorious contributions to Jingyi Erzhou, and make a name for themselves as soon as possible, and I also hope that you, the protector, can make a contribution because of this."

"Don't worry!" Zhou Zhi took advantage of people's inattention and blinked.

Wang Xu scolded angrily in his heart, but he kept a smile on his face: "Okay, sit back!" ”

In fact, the two sang and harmonized just now, and it was not that no one could see it, but the people who could see it would not talk much.

Fu Zhu, Tian Feng, Chen Deng and others, who are not extremely smart, but they all look at their noses and noses, as if they don't hear at all.

After Wang Xu roughly swept everyone's expressions, he quickly turned to say: "Now, the four major legions of the east, south, west, and north have basically agreed on the structure, and there are still two legions in the future. ”

"Divine beasts can ward off evil spirits, but they can prosper the army, it is feasible!" Frustrated nodded and said.

"My subordinates also think it's okay!" Chen Deng then interfaced.

Seeing that everyone had no opinions, Wang Xu smiled: "That's not as good as this, now there are 20,000 veterans, 10,000 Qinglong knights, and 10,000 guards and iron cavalry, so it is better to pick out 10,000 Qinglong knights and veterans, a total of 20,000 people, and first form the Qinglong Legion, which is commanded by Wuwei General Zhao Yun." ”

"There are also 10,000 veterans, temporarily forming the White Tiger Legion, commanded by the mighty general Zhang Liao."

"At present, the establishment of these two regiments is not uniform, so no other arrangements will be made for the time being, and the soldiers will be gradually replenished in the future, and then they will be appointed. General Huang Zhong is still in the northwest at present, and he will not be able to come back for a while, and I will make specific arrangements in the future, and my second brother Wang Fei will also help train recruits for the time being! In the next step, I hope to speed up the replenishment of soldiers, the sooner the better! ”

"No!" The ministers responded with a bang.

The meeting gradually dispersed, but the upheaval it brought about had only just begun.

In the next few days, Wang Xu was not idle, and visited the henchmen who were about to leave the General's Mansion and go to the Quartet to be the Taishou one by one.

One is reluctance, and the other is to tell some things.

For these henchmen who have followed him for many years, he also gave his own gifts, not valuables, but a small token, which is not of great use, but those who hold this token can directly bypass any procedure and meet him directly, and the spy shadow, dragon tiger guard and janissary guard will not stop him.

The intention is also obvious, that is, to give this group of people enough rights, to avoid people from hindering the communication between these people and him at critical times, and to prevent these heroes who have followed him for many years from being unjustly wronged outside.

Although these people go out to serve as Taishou, they will also return to Xiangyang to report on their work, and they will not return for three or five years as soon as they leave. But when everyone leaves. He still saw him off in person. Thousands of instructions to fully express their reluctance and feelings.

When the ministers left, they all said goodbye with tears and were deeply moved, especially the old ministers who followed him at the earliest, such as Gong Qiu Cheng, Liu Xian, and Huan Jie, were reluctant to look away from him before they could see it completely.

For Wang Xu, perhaps there is some deliberate element in doing so. But more often than not, it is true that these people are not only courtiers, but also his comrades-in-arms and confidants, and it is impossible to say that they are not sad.

After more than half a month, everything that should be gone is gone.

Under his supervision, the rewards and pensions of the military generals and sergeants of the army were also jointly promulgated by the subordinates of Cao and Wei Cao, and he personally supervised them, so as to pacify the battle of Nanzhong. As well as all the qiē of the Nanyang Battle at the beginning, to do the best aftermath.

Wang Xu also only made the only personal comment on this matter: "In view of the two battles. Jingzhou is at fault and entangled, so the mistakes of the officials and soldiers in the two wars are pardoned, and only rewards are not punished! ”

This instruction doesn't seem very reasonable, but it really reassures the hearts of the people in Jingzhou, because it was too chaotic before, everyone made mistakes, and in the Battle of Nanyang, it was even more like that, and everyone was at fault.

The core reason can be investigated is nothing more than Wang Xu's absence and lack of backbone, which has affected the foundation of the entire force, so it is best not to liquidate the faults, the clearer and more chaotic, what happened cannot be changed, and what to do in the future is more important.

In addition, Wang Xu was not in a hurry to deal with the provocateurs during the civil strife, and planned to wait for them to be more lax, and then catch them all.

This also made him gradually relax, manage political affairs every day, accompany his family, and calm down.

On this day, he was teaching Xiao Yingying martial arts in the courtyard, but Moon Shadow, the leader of the Dragon Tiger Weifeng Group, suddenly came over and told the barbarian Zhonglang to ask Shamoke to see him.

Wang Xu pondered for a moment, let Xiao Yingying practice first, and he personally greeted him and led him to the other courtyard.

Walking in the silent garden, Wang Xu did not look back at Shamoke beside him, but looked leisurely into the distance, and asked with a casual smile: "What's wrong, I feel that you are not in a good mood today, have you encountered something?" ”

"This ......" Shamoko opened his mouth, but he wanted to speak and stopped, obviously having some scruples, but finally sighed heavily: "Hey! ”

"What's wrong? If you have something to say, you Wuxi Barbarian King, how can you be so twisted, this is not like your character! Wang Xu smiled faintly.

Shamoke was a person who couldn't hold back, and when he heard the words, it was even more difficult to control it, so he immediately looked like an angry little daughter-in-law, and shouted aggrievedly: "Holy Lord, you are too partial, Shamoke is not convinced!" ”

"Oh? Eccentricity? Wang Xu paused amusefully and asked strangely, "Why am I eccentric?" ”

"Holy Lord, are we the same as Nanban in your eyes?" Shamoko sat down on the ground and played helplessly.

"Of course." Wang Xu raised his eyebrows and replied affirmatively.

I was also secretly speculating in my heart, could it be that someone was provoking the conflict between the Nanban and the Wuxi barbarians?

Unexpectedly, Shamoke raised his head and glanced at him, then turned his head aggrievedly, and complained: "Holy Lord, since it is the same, why can they have 60,000 people in the army, but we only have 20,000?" Our warriors are not weaker than them, and the Holy Lord is clearly partial! ”

"Huh? You're coming to me for this? Wang Xu was stunned and looked at Shamoke with a smile.

"Holy Lord, our Wuxi barbarian clan only has an establishment of 20,000, which is too little, in order to enlist in the army, the clansmen have to fight for a long time every time, but why did the Nanban just surrender and have an establishment of 60,000?"

The more the young Shamoko spoke, the more unpleasant it became, and he even wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes aggrievedly. "Also, our warriors are fighting for the Holy Lord in the south and the north, why should we be transferred to the Southern Legion this time, we have no opinion on who to obey, those generals do have the ability, we serve, we can be transferred away from the Holy Lord's location, we don't want to, go to the Southern Legion, isn't it equivalent to following General Xu Huang? Anyway...... We're not going anyway! ”

With his words, watching him wipe his tears aggrievedly, Wang Xu was very moved in his heart.

Shamoke and the Wuxi barbarians, this is treating themselves as beloved relatives, perhaps in their primitive and simple thoughts, their own holy lord is far more important than they understand, but more important, closer to ...... (To be continued......)
