Chapter Seventy-Five: Grafting

"The lord will watch the sky at night and there will be changes in Kyoto in the coming year, if it is not surprising, the lord will have a good chance to soar!" Guan Yu continued to flicker.

Dong Zhuo suddenly came to his senses when he heard this: "What? It's true? ”

"I watched the sky at night and saw that the bull fight came out of the middle, Taibai appeared in the west, the emperor star was unknown, a yellow light appeared in the west, the main thing is that the west will produce a character, and this character will soon enter the Central Plains!" Guan Yu continued to flicker.

Dong Zhuo's eyes widened when he heard Guan Yu's words, his expression showed surprise, his hands couldn't help but tremble, he looked at Guan Yu with a frightened expression and said, "Yun Chang! I have always believed in your personality and your ability to do things, this time the old man still believes what you say! If what you said really becomes the truth, then once the old man enters the Central Plains, he will promote you to be a hussar general! ”

"Thank you, my lord! The lord holds the sun and the moon in his mouth, and holds the universe in his hands, which is clearly a king's style! Guan Yu continued to praise.

Dong Zhuo's face bloomed with a smile when he heard this, and he continued to ask, "What should we do now, Chief Yun?" ”

"If you really levy 200,000 troops as the lord wishes, then the lord will really become the overlord of the whole world. Now that the princes of all walks of life have lost the Yellow Turban, their strength has declined, and only the lord stands out, and once a coup d'Γ©tat occurs in Kyoto at that time, no matter which party thinks of it first and the first person to be wooed must be the lord! So the top priority is how many men can the lord get? That's the key? Guan Yu probed Dong Zhuo as he spoke, he swept Dong Zhuo with his eyes, and saw that Dong Zhuo's eyes narrowed into a slit.

Dong Zhuo smiled and said, "Don't hide it, you have already recruited 100,000 troops now!" ”

"Really?" Guan Yu pretended to be puzzled.

Dong Zhuo said: "That's natural! Think about it, you alone contributed 30,000 horses, plus Li Wei's 30,000 horses, as well as Fan Chou and Zhang Ji? ”

After hearing this, Guan Yu continued to recommend: "If the lord really recruits these 100,000 horses, then we can practice now, because once the people and horses get together enough 200,000, the training together is too large, and the training effect is not very good!" Let's do it in batches first! They first recruited this side to start training, and when the training here was completed, they also recruited newcomers there, so that they could have an effect! ”

"This" Dong Zhuo was a little vague after hearing this.

Guan Yu saw Dong Zhuo's hesitation, so he urged: "What's wrong with the lord?" ”

Dong Zhuozhi said: "Yun Chang really doesn't hide it, and now the number of people and horses he has recruited is less than 60,000 people, and the horse is still far behind!" ”

"I think that in addition to me and General Li, General Fan and General Zhang and others have all returned in vain, why does the lord bully me?" Guan Yu pretended to be angry.

Dong Zhuo smiled and said, "Yun Chang! I want to reassure you, in fact, conscription is not easy! Now the situation is different in various places, and some large counties can't recruit too many people, because of the war, the population of Xiliang counties is not as large as before, and it is difficult to recruit troops now! ”

"I also understand this situation, but the goal of 200,000 troops will definitely be achieved, and the lord thinks that we now rule 15 counties, and one county will take out 10,000 horses and 150,000! If it is difficult for civilian recruitment, you can start from the locality! Guan Yu suggested.

Dong Zhuo's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Yun Chang really woke up the person in the dream with a word!" What do you mean by 'grafting'? ”

"Exactly! You can call the soldiers and horses of the states and counties, and then let them find a way to go to the people to recruit, as for whether they can recruit it depends on their ability, this is also a test for them, so that we can solve the urgent need, because we are running out of time! Guan Yu continued to recommend. …,

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed when he heard this: "Yun Chang is worthy of being intelligent, this plan is very good!" However, in this way, the air defense of states and counties, once there are thieves and bandits causing chaos or there is an invasion from other places, wouldn't it be self-defeating? ”

"Don't worry, lord! This can be analyzed in detail, such as the western border town adjacent to Xiqiang and Han Suiyu's party, so the deployment there must not be moved, and the lord must withdraw the manpower to be collected before, such as Xiping County, Jiuquan, Dunhuang, Jincheng and other counties, the north to prevent the invasion of the Huns, so the deployment of Xihai and Xijun should not be moved, and the previous manpower must be withdrawn, and the rest of the counties can mobilize troops and horses to deploy, so that a total of 200,000 troops can be collected and there is room for a county guard! Guan Yu continued to analyze.

Dong Zhuo couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this: "Okay! As far as Evian said, I'll arrange it! ”

"Slow down! This matter is important and the task is urgent, so the conscription still needs one person to serve as the chief supervisor, urging the conscription matters in various places, coordinating the conscription plan as a whole, and urging the conscription progress! Guan Yu continued to recommend.

Dong Zhuo then said: "You will take care of this!" ”

"No! Lord Gong Yun Chang is young and young, and his qualifications are so shallow, it is inconvenient to take this position, I am afraid that he will miss the Lord Gong's major affairs, and there are many generals of the same level or even high level as himself among the generals, and Yun Chang is not very good at Xiliang's things. "Guan Yu postponed it.

Dong Zhuo asked, "Then who should be sent?" ”

"Li Dao, it has to be General Li! There are three reasons for this: first, General Li has a lot of experience in the army, has always followed the lord and ranks first among all generals, and his connections and charisma are self-evident; Second, General Li has lived in Xiliang for many years, and is relatively proficient and familiar with Xiliang's affairs; The third is that his rank is above the generals, and the command is more authoritative in the locality, which will greatly improve the efficiency and speed of recruitment! Guan Yu continued.

Dong Zhuo nodded after hearing this, and continued: "In this way, Li Dao is the supervisor, and you are the deputy capital guide, and they are jointly responsible for the supervision work!" ”

"Lord, you forgot, we still have 60,000 horses waiting to be trained!" Guan Yu reminded.

Dong Zhuo suddenly woke up and said, "Yes! You see I'm really old, what a memory! You're in charge of the training of these 60,000 troops! ”

"My lord, I need a few people to assist in training to improve the efficiency and quality of training!" Guan Yu continued.

"What do you say? The quality of the training? What do you mean? Dong Zhuo asked.

Guan Yu smiled unconsciously when he heard it: "It's the effect of training, and it means that it can improve the effect of training!" ”

"Say it! Who do you want? Dong Zhuo asked.

Guan Yu said: "Li Su, Li Yan and Wen Ping!" ”

"Alright! It's all up to you! Dong Zhuo said briskly.

Guan Yu arched his hand and said, "Thank you, lord!" ”

The plan was decided, Guan Yu began to prepare for the training, everything went as smoothly as he imagined, not only successfully avoided the difficulties from Dong Zhuo, but also won the opportunity for himself to train troops and point generals, and took Li Dao away, leaving himself and his confidants, so that he could show his talents, he wanted to lay a solid foundation for entering Kyoto and even the coup, and this was less than a year left for him
