Chapter 86 Peaceful Settlement

"My Zhou Yu counts when he speaks! General Zhou Tai, please rise - the other soldiers should also rise! You just have to take this Zheng Bao down! Zhou Yu jumped off the horse as he spoke, and personally untied Zhou Tai, knowing that the general in front of him was Zhou Tai, and he was also a celebrity during the Three Kingdoms period. Zhou Yu was excited in his heart, how could he blame him when he met a famous general again!

"Lord Zhou, you really don't blame us? We are so offended to you, my lord—" Zhou Tai looked at Zhou Yu a little confused, and Zhou Tai, who was still calm on the battlefield just now, was a little restrained.

"Alright—the matter is over, why don't we go to the post station for a while? I have already arranged a banquet for the prince to be shocked, and now I can't get in the situation of the Taishou Mansion! Zhou Tai asked your people to go where to go, you take Han Xuan and Zheng Bao together-"It's inconvenient to go directly to the Taishou Mansion now, after all, Han Xuan's family is still inside, but Han Xuan is also the former Taishou, so you have to save a little face, and now the most suitable place to go is only the post station."

Besides, they made such a big move outside the Taishou Mansion, it is estimated that it will only take half a day to spread throughout Yangzhou, and there will definitely be an endless stream of people who come to visit Zhou Yu when the time comes! For the time being, the post is still a good place to go!

"Butler—come over to me! Go back and tell the mansion, hurry up and pack up your things and vacate the mansion for Lord Taishou Zhou as soon as possible! What are you doing stupidly? You'd better go! Han Xuan also let Zhou Yu go, it was no big deal, and now Han Xuan can't make any waves.

It can be regarded as Han Xuan's eyes, and the others returned to the post station to eat, and after several days of running around and today's fright, Wang Quan was also a little physically unbearable, so he left in advance and went down to rest.

The rest of us are Zhou Yu, Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, Dian Wei, Zhou Tai, Han Xuan, and Zheng Bao, who are still sitting.

"Lord Han and General Zheng don't know if the two of you have a good time drinking today?"

Hearing this, Han Xuan and Zheng Bao chuckled in their hearts at the same time, the two of them had been waiting for Zhou Yu to ask questions since the banquet, but Zhou Yu never mentioned this matter, and their hearts had been hanging in the air.

"Thank you, Lord Zhou, for your hospitality—we're done, but what do you plan to do with the two of us!" After Han Xuan and Zheng Bao exchanged glances, Han Xuan asked first. Anyway, shrinking the head is also a knife, and stretching out the head is also a knife, so it is better to suffer this knife quickly.

"Refreshing-if Lord Han wants to go back to Beijing to standby, he can go back, if he doesn't want to go back to the capital, then he can only stay in Yangzhou City and be a rich man, how about it? As for General Zheng, you can continue to be your Zhenwei general, but you must hand over your military power, and you don't need to order it every day, and you will be distributed as usual! This is the condition I give you - you two might as well go down to the guest room to think about it, and if you have any doubts, you can directly raise it! ”

didn't wait for Han Xuan and Zheng Bao to speak, someone took them down.

"Lord Zhou, do you have anything else to do with the last general?" Zhou Tai saw that except for himself, everyone else was Zhou Yu's core people.

"General Zhou - I want to ask you how many soldiers and horses there are in Yangzhou? Can you let us know? ”

"Lord Hui - there are a total of 3,000 county soldiers outside Yangzhou City, and the soldiers defending the city in the city plus the strength of other counties and counties are about 12,000, and the main combat strength is the 3,000 county soldiers outside Yangzhou City. These people have always practiced as a general, and they have not slackened their kung fu in their hands! ”

As soon as Zhou Tai said this, Zhou Yu felt a little disappointed, only one Yangzhou had such a small number of troops. Once the Yellow Turban Army revolted, it was wrapped in millions of people, although it was said that most of the people were the people, but there was still a certain reason why the ants bit the elephants to death. Now the equipment of the 3,000 soldiers mentioned by Zhou Tai is also some standing weapons such as broadswords, bows and crossbows, which are simply unable to resist the Yellow Turban Army that suddenly revolted. It seems that there is a long way to go to rise, and everything has to start from scratch-

"Feng Xiao - in view of this situation, I am preparing to expand the army, tomorrow Brother Zhongde will go to count the property, ordnance, grain, grass and horses in the treasury, Feng Xiao will go with me to inspect the school field and prepare for the expansion of the army, Dian Wei and Zhou Tai will be on standby tomorrow! It's all gone—I'll be alone for a while! Zhou Yu rubbed his sour head, at present, he is not worried about the lack of property, he wants to rectify the armament in order to deal with the scholars and Taiping disciples in Yangzhou, if you want to achieve a great cause, you must first have a stable rear. According to historical records, when the Yellow Turban Rebellion began, Yangzhou was the only place that was least affected, and this was an opportunity.

Yangzhou borders Jingzhou, Xuzhou, Jiaozhou, and half of the place is occupied by the Shanyue people, but in Jingzhou and Xuzhou, there are Yangtze River natural hazards, and only a naval general needs to be recruited to deploy defenses along the Yangtze River to hold the enemy coming here. At present, it is more difficult to deal with the Shanyue clan, if he can find a way to persuade or subdue the Shanyue clan, it will be of great benefit to the jungle warfare in the future, and it will be of great help to attack Jiaozhou and Yizhou, so he still lacks a general of the mountain infantry army; In short, after thinking about it, Zhou Yu felt that what he lacked was generals and talents-

Falling asleep in a daze, Zhou Yu took Guo Jia and Dian Wei to the school outside the city as soon as he got up.

"Gong Jin, what are your plans for today? Speak up and let me help you take a look! Guo Jialu looked at Zhou Yu, who was a little depressed, and knew that he probably thought about things very late last night.

"Fengxiao - I went to the school today to plan to master these three thousand county soldiers first, and reorganize this part of the soldiers and horses, the main general is temporarily set as Dian Wei, and the deputy general will use this Zhou Tai, and then the more than 100 guards we brought this time will be incorporated into these county soldiers, and each person will lead a team of thirty people to form a combat force in a short period of time. And let Zhou Tai continue to teach them the Xuanwu formation, so that the previous soldiers would not be resistant to the new guards. In the next step, I plan to wait until Brother Zhongde has counted the treasury and belongings, and then start preparing to expand the army to 10,000. But now I don't have a single general in my hands. Don't know if there's any way to fix it? Since Zhou Yu didn't sleep well last night, he didn't ride a horse today, but walked slowly in a carriage with Guo Jia.

"I think you have a good idea, but there's something wrong with it. The army is a place where the strong are respected, if you rashly integrate your elite guards into the three thousand county soldiers, first of all, you and I have weak guards, which will lead to some people in Yangzhou taking the opportunity to attack you and me, this is one of them; In addition, there will definitely be some dissatisfaction and tyranny in the army, and I suggest that only thirty guards need to be sent in, but it must be a live battle, and the person with the highest ability and force can be the captain of the hundred-man team, so that the army can be very cohesive. As for the lack of generals, they can be cultivated slowly, or selected from the army-" Guo Jia thought about it for a while and said.

"Uh-yes! I never thought that they would implement a system of elimination, with those with high ability going up and down, and weeding out some old, weak, sick and disabled people to become reserve troops. It can also be added that people with special abilities such as marching formation, Wen Taowu strategy, and sharpshooter can enjoy the treatment of a lieutenant and lead a team of people! Haha - in this way, I, Zhou Yu, will use these 3,000 people as the team to train many different types of troops, and I will get more in one fell swoop! Fengxiao, your words really made me stunned, and when I go back, I will ask you to make a good wine! Zhou Yu was in a good mood all of a sudden, with such a plan, he could set up a sharpshooter battalion, a knife and axe battalion, a spear battalion, a cavalry battalion, an equipment battalion and a reserve battalion according to the different abilities of the personnel.

"So very good - if there is a shortage of talents, you can recruit some famous and talented people in the name of Yangzhou Taishou to help you, and the unified assessment will be carried out on schedule! The elimination system is implemented like in the army, and all those who are incapable will be taken down! We'll talk to Brother Zhongde when we get back. You need to prepare more good wine, less than enough for me to drink—"

"What an alcohol—"

Haha-ha-ha-each other-
