However, Zhang Ye slightly gave the two mercenaries the food they owed, which was double, and finally asked them if they were willing to stay. The answer, of course, is: no.

In a county like this, no one is willing to settle in, and the grain is definitely negative. The old, the weak, the sick and the disabled. Most of the defeated soldiers were recruited by two mercenaries. Zhang Ye was a little unhappy about this. Zhuge Luo was also indignant, "Hmph, the guy who eats inside and outside." ”

Zhang Ye felt that this was a bit excessive, after all, it was the nature of the two sides. And those defeated soldiers chose to stay or go. Because he only has a dozen soldiers, how can he order them to be nearly a hundred. I don't have this strength at all.

"Jen?"

Zhang Ye shook his head, "No." ”

Zhuge was curious. Because no matter what he thinks, entering the main city will definitely be an act of self-harm. The surrounding land is barren and the roads are not open. The water source is not very good either. Above all, the population of the city is old, weak, sick and disabled.

A small county town is a county town with a population of less than 1,000 and a backward defense industry. But the county seat must be the county seat, even if it has declined, it was once prosperous. Follow this hard clue and search all over the city. but also received a total of 100 taels of silver. However, at present, money is not worth much, because it is a war year, and food is hard currency. In peacetime, 100 taels of silver can buy 1,000 catties of grain, but now in war times, 100 taels of silver can't buy enough 10 catties of rice.

A few years ago, Luoyang, Chang'an and other historical cities, hundreds of thousands of dollars could not buy a pound of rice. One tael of silver is equal to 1,000 yuan, and hundreds of thousands of dollars are equal to several hundred taels of silver.

"A total of 100 catties of grain were obtained. ”

Zhang Ye asked, "Has the population been calculated?"

"Counting our people, there are 352 people living in the city. ”

Zhang Ye frowned, "How did they come to life?

"Roots, bark, wild herbs, mice. The grain is eaten once a week, and it is very light rice porridge. ”

Zhang Ye nodded, "No wonder they are all skinny." ”

"My lord, you are. ”

Zhang Ye's voice was fierce, "Do you know that if you don't do this, they will die." ”

"But...... This. ”

Zhang Ye said, "What is the limit of becoming a big thing." Treat yourself as if you don't see it,"

"I can't help but see. ”

"Soldiers won't eat these things!"

Le Tao held back his nausea, "Okay, I'll go and distribute it." ”

was still seen by Zhang Ye with more than a dozen people with good physical fitness and asked them to join the team. There were enough thirty people in front of him.

Zhang Ye just divided them into three squads, and then instead of teaching, he let the captain and vice captain of each squad teach.

The search inside the city is over, outside the city, of course. Outside the city there was unbridled fear, because there were houses inside the city, and it was impossible to carry out excavation work. And outside the city, you can dig the bottom to the sky.

"My lord, I got a total of 20 silver worth of things. ”

"Well, well done. Zhang Ye patted Le Tao's shoulder, and suddenly he was stunned by the horizontal ravine, "At that time." ”

"Moat. ”

"How is there no one. He suddenly realized that he had spoken nonsense.

"According to the residents, it has been abandoned for hundreds of years. Hundreds of years ago, there was a river. ”

Zhang Ye said, "How far is it from here?" ”

Le Tao smiled bitterly, "Hundreds of miles." ”

Zhang Ye said, "Forget it," such a long distance is simply impossible to complete. With that strength to complete, it's better to change the evidence. Because the cost is completely disproportionate.

"Whether to fill the ravine. Le Tao asked.

"No, use the drawbridge as a tool to get in and out of the city. "It's only four or five meters deep, but it's an obstacle to put it mildly. Zhang Ye decided to use the obstacles.

"Lord Zhang Ye, you are the blessing of all the people. ”

Zhang Ye Xiaodao, "There are only more than 300 people in total, and they are also counted as ten thousand people." ”

"I think the villagers around me will hear the news. ”

Zhang Ye's face changed, "Hurry up and post a notice, you can enter the city, but you have to meet the conditions." If you meet the conditions, you can enter the city with your whole family. ”

"Yecheng is under construction, and the announcement is as follows:

If you meet the following conditions, you can enter the city.

1. Young and vigorous. Become a soldier.

Second, versatile, a craft.

Nothing else will be charged. ”

In this way, not many people join.

Zhang Ye thought of a way, and he placed his newly joined family outside the city. It's not that there is no place to live in the city, but that the outside world wants to form the feeling that the city is a paradise. You can't join easily. In addition to the soldiers, only the former residents were able to make their home in the city. Newly recruited soldiers outside the city, or mechanics, must have a great job to become a city hukou. I have to say that the strict rules and regulations attract high-quality talents, although there are not many, but one top two, Zhang Ye likes the carpentry technician just now.

The carpenter was surprised, "Can I really live in the city?"

Zhang Ye nodded, "I've seen your wood carving, if you change models, don't just drop some ugly things, you must be an artist." ”

"What, what is a model, what is an artist?"

Zhang Ye shook his head, not wanting to say more. The carpenter's carving is said to be an old picture, because he carved something like turnip and cabbage that is not precious at all. In addition, it is a very ordinary wood carving, which has no value at all.

Five hundred, it's already saturated. Zhang Ye is not beckoning. Unless it's a soldier.

The army now also has more than eighty people, divided into eight squads.

Zhuge Luo got the title of deputy captain again, and he was under Le Tao. This made him very angry and had to go to Zhang Ye in private.

Zhang Ye was looking at this month's income and asked, "Zhuge Luo, do you have something to do here?"

Zhang Ye, "You say, I'll listen." ”

"I think I can already be the captain of any team." ”

Zhang Ye frowned, "Zhuge Gao, I think I've taught you many times. ”

Zhuge didn't make a sound.

Zhang Ye fought and said, "Those who achieve great things are not informal. Also, you are a military advisor, a resourceful type, not a general. ”

"You have to understand that both captain and vice-captain are just a job title. ”

Zhuge was silent.

"If you don't understand, I can tell you. The vice-captain of each team is the most intelligent in the team. And you are the tallest of all the teams. The role of a vice-captain is not the same as that of a captain. The captain is the one who charges. The vice-captain is to give advice and remind. Calmness can stabilize the whole team and let the whole team find the right direction. And the captain is the one who takes the lead. This, you get the idea. ”

"Ah...... I understand. Zhuge bowed.

Zhang Ye nodded, "The son can be taught, go down." ”

"Yes, my lord. Zhuge retired. I was very happy in my heart: it turned out that the role of the deputy captain was so much greater than that of the poisonous miasma. That's right, captain and vice-captain are just titles. A smart person should look at the inner relationship and role.

After Zhuge left, Zhang Ye shook his head. "Admittedly, I told you, the vice-captain is more important than the captain. However, the captain is the captain. All decisions are still made by the captain. Just like a king, even if the combined ability of the civil and military officials below is much stronger than the emperor, the emperor is still the emperor, the respect of the Ninety-Five. ”

"First of all, then you need to learn some military science, of course I can't do it one by one. All the vice-captains are coming, and I will teach. Then you can slowly pass it on to the people in the team. ”

Zhang Ye gave a lesson to the vice-captains. Zhe made Zhuge very happy. He thinks that the vice-captain is of a higher rank than the captain.

"When you set up camp, it's better to die on the wide ground and then at the water's edge. I'll tell you, of course, because the camp is very afraid of fire. ”

"You have to be kind to the people. No matter what, you can't be beaten and spoken at every turn. ”

"Also, you are not allowed to steal food, do you know that it is handed in. I'm already a big man, and I'm not going to starve my soldiers. ”

Zhang Ye still handed over the right to tutor the children to himself, and gave them a lesson every morning. A class is about an hour.

These children, between the ages of 5 and 14.

Zhang Ye, "Do you know what people live for? ”

Immediately, someone stood up and said, "Man lives to fight." ”

"Teacher, he said of the troops," a girl stood up, "people live for tomorrow." ”

"Man lives to live. ”

"Man lives to eat. ”

Zhang Ye Duyu has unique insights and can judge the advanced thinking. Write down their appearance so that special attention may be paid to them.

"Very well, you are all thoughtful teenagers. Let's sing a boy's song!"

"We are the successors of the world. We are willing to sacrifice ourselves for the unification of the world. Love the lord, love the soldiers, and love our parents ......"

You have to hate grass, and it's a good choice to lead education from singers.

"Don't be afraid of danger and move forward bravely. We are the successors of the unity of the world!"

Zhang Ye applauded, "Okay, very good, you remember, you are the successor of the unification of the world." Today's class is fooled here, disbanded!"

"Goodbye, Lord, teacher!"

Teenagers under the age of 14 and over 15. Zhang Ye has another education.

"You're all losing the crown now. You can know the meaning of a weak crown. ”

Someone said, "Isn't the weak crown twenty years old." ”

Zhang Ye coughed and smiled awkwardly, "In short, being a little adult is a weak crown." It's just grown up, you know. ”

"Yes. "There are more than 20 people who are 14 or 5 years old.

Zhang Ye said, "You can walk anywhere in the city every day, and you can go in the barracks to have a look." However, if you want to go out of the city, you need to register. You'd better be as many people as you go, so you just need one soldier and two soldiers to follow and protect you. If we disperse, each of them requires one soldier, then our city defense will not be enough. ”

By the way, "You now have a job title, you are a youth study group." Zhang Ye immediately thought of the group of children, and he decided to tell those children in class tomorrow: You are called the Youth Study Group.

The Youth Study Group and the Youth Study Group are mainly for learning. This is important. Their age is the best time of their lives to learn.

"You must understand that you are the flowers of the future Yecheng, and you are the successors of the future Yecheng. You are the Great Wall in the heart of Ye Cheng in the future. ”

A curious baby asked, "What is the Great Wall in my heart?" ”

"This ......" Zhang Ye was speechless for a while, but it still made him think, "Well, it's the city wall, do you understand the thickened city wall." ”

"But we don't want our bodies to be walls. ”

"Oh, it's just a description," Zhang Ye said, "you know, the metaphor is an exaggeration, but the central idea remains the same, is it for you to accept this idea, you know." ”

"I don't know ......"

Zhang Ye said helplessly, "You will know in the future." ”

"Report to the lord that three thousand soldiers of the enemy are coming. ”

Zhang Ye was a little speechless, it was only a year, but fortunately, the city defense and everything were built at a priority level, so even if there were three thousand soldiers, Zhang Ye was not afraid. His city, how to say, three thousand soldiers absolutely attacked his subordinates. If the city is to besiege and cut off food, Zhang Ye believes that it is the 3,000 soldiers outside the city who will run out of food first. After a year of development, his Ye Cheng can be said to be really powerful.

He transformed the city, a lot of vegetable land, rice and so on. It's just a bit of a hit, it's water. There is only one well, but fortunately, a lot of water is stored in normal times. It can be used for about a month without any problems.

Now there are 800 inhabitants of the city. There were two hundred soldiers.

In order to make more land use, a number of two-story houses were created. The benefit of this is not to make the residential buildings so many. The land saved is used for planting. The so-called soldiers are based on food. And the people are also food-oriented. In troubled times, food is the most important. Whether a force is strong or not depends on the grain.

"Please don't misunderstand the people in the city, we have something to tell. ”

Standing on the city wall, Le Tao was majestic, "What's the matter?" He is now the Grand Governor of the legion under Zhang Yezuo. Controlling two hundred soldiers, one person is below ten thousand people, and no one can overshadow him, and he is in the limelight for a while.

General immediately, "I am Dong Ai, the former general under Liu Xuande, I am here this time, so that the surrounding forces can go over together and fight against Cao Cao's army together." Cao Cao has been arranging on the river for a year. If after some time, their troops will be familiar with water warfare and adapt to the water and soil. We will all be defeated, and the thieves have always followed. Burning, killing, looting, and strong X, when the time comes, it will be a lamentation. ”

Dong Ai was very miserable, these three thousand soldiers were all the soldiers of Liu Xuande. And he is just a person in the second echelon of military power. The first echelon is Liu Xuande, the lord of Taoyuan, and the three knots. And he is not at the top of the second echelon. In front of him is Changshan Zhao Zilong. In fact, the order of this lobbying was to Zhao Zilong, and if Zhao Yun's scoundrel was obsessed with marksmanship and didn't fight, he wouldn't have appeared in front of everyone.

"Lord, what do you think. "Zhuge has become a contact. But it's not overkill. He still thinks that he is the first person under Zhang Ye. Because he is the highest of intelligence.

Zhang Ye said, "What I want to say is that you can agree." However, please retire. ”

"No problem. Zhuge immediately conveyed Zhang Ye's original words.

On the tower of the city, after listening to Zhuge Luo's words, the majority of the capital governor Le Tao said in a loud voice, "My lord said, give him time to prepare, and he will come within three days." ”

"That's good, let's step back!" Dong Aike won't stay in one place for long, he has to go to another place to find the remaining troops, even if it is a bandit, he has to win it over. Liu Xuande's idea is very good, and these people he brought in will be his account when the time comes. In fact, this is also an unspoken rule. Even if there are more people, Liu Biao's eyes are all small dishes, Liu Biao can go out to fight hundreds of thousands of people, and the total is probably less than 1,000, Liu Xuande is only 3,000, that is to say, when the time comes, Liu Xuande will be at most 4,000. Still a cannon fodder.

"Zhuge Luo, a hundred elite soldiers are sitting in Yecheng. ”

"Yes, my lord!" Zhuge was so moved that he almost cried bitterly. This is enough to prove that his position is higher than that of Le Tao.

"Then, Le Tao followed me to Liu Xuande's coalition army. ”

Le Tao, "The last general commands!"
