Zhang Chao bluntly said that he came to persuade the two, which made Zhou Cang happy when he heard it. A feeling told him that this person still had a great appetite for his own words.

It's just that you want to convince, but you can't just say it. Zhou Cang looked at Zhang Chao and said, "If you want to convince the two of us, I don't know if you have any sincerity?" ”

"Sincerity? Ha ha. Hearing these two words, Zhang Chao couldn't help laughing and said, "I don't know what Brother Zhou and Brother Pei think is sincerity?" ”

"Well..."Zhou Cang glanced at Pei Yuanshao beside him and said, "Then you have to prove it yourself." ”

"Prove it yourself." Zhang Chao frowned at this time, if the other party is willing to make a request, it will be a good thing. At least he could consider whether he could satisfy them. But if you just let yourself say it, it's really hard to talk about it.

Fortunately, Zhang Chao is now also the overlord of one side and a prince-like figure, and he can say everything in his own territory, and he doesn't even need to discuss with anyone on some things. With full right to speak, he thought about it for a moment and said, "In this way, I will seal the two of you as officials now." Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao were each promoted to the post of commander of the first corps, and each could command 2,000 people first, and then he could be promoted again according to the military merits he had made. At the same time, you can also choose some henchmen to join your army to hold important positions? If there are people in the subordinates who are willing to become ordinary people, they can enjoy the treatment of sharing land and houses, so that they can live a happy life in the future? ”

If you want to become a regimental commander in a legion, you have to go through the test of blood and fire, and only those with outstanding performance can be competent. Fortunately, Zhang Chao had long heard of the names of these two people, and knew that these two people were also members of the tiger generals, so he still had the qualifications to be a regiment leader. Of course, such a thing can be decided by Zhang Chao in one word, if it is replaced by someone else, even if it is the chief military advisor Guo Jia, it needs to be reported first, and the core of the relevant departments can only be reported to Zhang Chao himself after the bravery and loyalty of the people.

Zhang Chao used his privilege to directly give the two of them official positions, and then looked over, expecting to answer.

The reason why Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao didn't make a request was that they really didn't know what to say, so they let Zhang Chao speak. But I never thought that people would give a regiment commander on the spot. It was only after hearing that they could only command two thousand people that they laughed together.

With the ability of the two of them, they are also well-known figures in the Montenegrin army, even if they are now suspected and cannot be reused, but there are five thousand people under them who can be used. Now the commander of 5,000 people is not to be a general, but to be a general with 2,000 people, which seems to have lost power no matter how you look at it.

The two laughed, and then Pei Yuanshao spoke: "Mr. Guo, do you know how many troops we can command now?" ”

"I know that you are now under suspicion and your power is much less than before. but each of them commanded five thousand men and horses. Zhang Chao told the information he heard from Guo Jia before he came.

"Oh, even if you know that we can command five thousand men, then why do you propose to make us the head of the regiment? Are you looking down on us brothers? Pei Yuanshao, who was talking, had already gotten up at this time and stared at Zhang Chao, like that, as if he would do it if he didn't agree with him.

Pei Yuanshao's actions made Xu Chu and Tai Shici on the side also clench their fists, and made a picture of preparation to make a move if they couldn't talk at any time.

However, Zhang Chao stretched out his hands and made a reassuring gesture behind him, it is absolutely not easy to do it at this time, once he does it, all the efforts made before will be in vain. Not only will these two generals not be able to recruit these two generals, but they will also have to waste more energy and time to eradicate the Montenegrin army.

Zhang Chao raised his hand to signal, and Xu Chu and Tai Shici quieted down again. Then Zhang Chao looked at Pei Yuanshao and said, "Brother Pei, let me ask you, if it is five thousand Black Mountain Army against two thousand soldiers of the First Army, can you be sure of victory?" ”

"Ahh This one... It depends. Pei Yuanshao was asked this question, and suddenly seemed unconfident.

"Hehe, it's not about the situation, it's about defeat. That is the case, then do you say that the general who led the 5,000 Black Mountain Army is majestic, or the soldiers of the two armies and one legion are majestic? Zhang Chao asked with a smile.

As soon as these words came out, Pei Yuanshao immediately fell silent.

But Zhang Chao still said on a matter-of-fact basis, "The two of you know that in a legion, you can become a person who is higher than the regiment commander, that is, the division commander, and there are only five people under the entire general." They are Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, Huang Zhonghuan and Zhang Liao. I guess you're all familiar with these five people. Then I would like to ask, how do you think of yourself compared to the five people? Do you think that being the head of the regiment will wronged you? ”

"Also, do you know how much it costs to become a company commander in a legion, a centurion as you call it? At least three or more military merits are allowed. If you want to become a battalion commander, that is, a commander of 500 people, you need to make ordinary military merits more than five times; If you want to become a regiment commander, the requirements are even more demanding, and you need to make major military merits more than once, and ordinary military merits more than five times. At the same time, it is also necessary to investigate whether the person himself is brave and loyal to the general, and then report to the shepherd's mansion for a final decision. ”

"The procedure is so complex and so demanding, but neither of you is doing anything yet? This has become a regimental commander, what is not satisfied? Zhang Chaoyue said that the more stern his tone became, and at the end of the conversation, he was already questioning.

was questioned by Zhang Chao like this, Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao's faces looked quite ugly.

They didn't know about the promotion process of the first legion, and they just heard that they only brought 2,000 men and horses. Now after hearing Zhang Chao's explanation, he already knows that he can be a regiment leader, and his position is not low.

As reckless people, most of them have an upright temperament, and they often value love and righteousness, and now the conditions offered by the other party are not low, and the two really don't know what to say.

Pei Yuanshao was speechless when asked, but Zhou Cang, who still had some strategy in his heart, after listening to Zhang Chao's words, he seemed to have caught the other party's sick words and said: "Wait, according to what Mr. Guo said, the general knows about us and has also investigated us, so he has been promised the position of head of our two brothers?" ”

"Well, I know you. It's just that no investigation has been conducted. Zhang Chao replied honestly.

"Oh? Didn't investigate? "Listening to this answer, Zhou Cang was happy for a while." Mr. Guo, you said it yourself just now, but anyone who is promoted to the head of the regiment needs to make one major military merit and five ordinary military merits, and only after investigation can they be reported to the Shepherd's Mansion, and finally ruled by the general. Even if this is the case, then you say that you have not been investigated, and now you have indeed agreed to the post of head of our brother's regiment, isn't your words inconsistent, could it be that you can be the master of the great general? ”

Zhou Cang asked rhetorically, and Pei Yuanshao on the side also said: "Yes, if Mr. Guo is just deceiving us now, and when he really enters Jinyang City, he will turn his face and deny what he just said, where will our brother go to reason?" ”

Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao thought that they had found Guo Jia's sick words, but they didn't know that what they were facing now was not the chief military division, but the general Zhang Chao himself.

This question, perhaps when Guo Jia was really asked, he didn't dare to let go of his crazy words. After all, Zhang Chao has always made the final decision on the appointment of the head of the regiment, and in fact, no one has the right to make the final decision. It's just that when the question is asked about Zhang Chao himself, all this is nothing.

Seeing that the two of them wanted to embarrass themselves on this issue, Zhang Chao immediately smiled and said, "Oh? Do you trust me anymore? Do you believe my words? ”

"Definitely. It's just that it's about the future of our two brothers, and some ugly things still have to be talked about in the future. Zhou Cang denied it, but the voice in the words did express the meaning very clearly.

Originally, this time Zhang Chao came to reveal his identity immediately. After all, the identity of the general is too sensitive, and it is not an exaggeration to say that as a core figure, nothing can happen. Being able to come to the Montenegrin army is already a very risky act, and if you are revealing your identity, it is tantamount to adding to the danger.

It's just that now, Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao have already provoked the conversation here, and if there is no reasonable explanation, the next things cannot be discussed, which means that this persuasion work is a failure. This is something that Zhang Chao cannot allow.

Solving the Montenegrin Army is the main task that Zhang Chao set for himself this year. Seeing that all the princes are laying the foundation for their own careers, and even the main opponents Cao Cao and Yuan Shao have begun to grab the territory, if he can't even solve the internal problems now, then he will be thrown off, and it is not impossible to become the second echelon from the first echelon among the princes.

If you want to have an advantage all the time, you need to be the first to dominate the enemy step by step. And solving the problem of the Montenegrin army has become an urgent matter.

Zhang Chao, who couldn't hesitate or persuade the two of them to fail, weighed the pros and cons of revealing his identity in his heart, and his lips were already gently opened: "What I said is the truth, and no one can change it." Everything is because of the position of the head of the regiment, I can decide in one word. ”

"Haha, hahaha." Zhang Chao's answer caused Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao to laugh again.

"I said Lao Zhou, this Mr. Guo is really interesting, he can't answer our questions, so he began to learn how to cook the duck to play with a hard mouth." Pei Yuanshao laughed and said.
