After Zhao Yun and Zhang Xiu left, Jia Xu came in again and stopped talking.

"Wen He might as well say it directly. Shi Xin said with a smile on his face.

"It's about the handling of 50,000 surrendered troops. Jia Xu sighed.

As soon as he sighed, Shi Xin immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.

The 50,000 Yuan troops surrendered as a last resort, and it is undoubtedly foolish to say how loyal they are to themselves. Xu Rong's "those who surrender do not kill" naturally have his reasons, and he is also dedicated to his own good, but how to deal with these surrenders has become a little tricky. He only has 80,000 soldiers, and if all the troops go to Zhu'a, the 50,000 soldiers left in the rear are like a thorn, and they can't use it, and they don't dare to let it go, and in the end they have to leave the troops to take care of them.

The most important thing is that they need food and grass to feed them, and the expenditure of 50,000 people is enough to drag them down in a short time.

"What does Wenhe think?"

Since Jia Xu found himself, he should have a way to deal with it, and Shi Xin threw the problem back to him.

"Of these 50,000 people, there should be a small number of people who sincerely want to join us. But most of them are greedy for life and afraid of death, according to the opinions of their subordinates, it is better to ...... Hey, hey!"

Jia Xu sneered and slowly made a movement to wipe his neck.

"This ......"

Shi Xin gasped, of course, killing the surrenderers was a last resort, but it seemed to be the best way to deal with it. But the decision to let him kill 50,000 people at once made him a little difficult.

Jia Xu observed his words and looked at his expression, and stood quietly waiting for Shi Xin to make a decision. He has always been very glad to have followed Shi Xin, the lord, doing something and not doing something, but he is never pedantic and stubborn. If Dong Zhuo encountered the same problem, Jia Xu would not need to ask for instructions at all, and he would be killed if he was killed. Shi Xin hesitated, proving that he had a good conscience, which of course was good and bad, at least he was not a tyrant.

Shi Xin touched his chin and muttered to himself, "Is there no other way to compromise than killing?"

Suddenly, an idea struck, "It's better than this." First of all, we should collect the information of each surrendered army, and those who are single, newly joined, and those who have the heart to make meritorious contributions can stay and expand our army. The rest of the people, those who are willing to be discharged and returned to the fields, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, find good land and real estate in various parts of Qingzhou and let them go. The last ones left are the ones who can't stay, so they can only do what Wenhe wants. ”

Jia Xu thought about it, although it was much more troublesome than his own "one-size-fits-all", it was a good way to compromise. Bow to the end, "The lord's benevolent heart is comparable to the moon, and he is respectful." ”

Dealing with 50,000 surrendered troops is a huge workload. Jia Xu called Zhang Meiniang, Shi A, Ma, and Qin Jian, led all the Eagle brothers except for the exploration army, and counted 10,000 people in the regular army, which took most of the day to complete.

The result made Shi Xin very happy, 15,000 people could expand the army, 15,000 people were willing to stay in Qingzhou for construction, and only the remaining 20,000 people, most of whom were speculative and wavering attitudes.

Jia Xu has 10,000 ways to get rid of these 20,000 people quietly and silently. In the end, he chose the way he did best

, poison and pit killing.

He first found an excuse for the labor army, transferred the 20,000 people away from five miles, ordered the Eagle brothers to build a few cauldrons, cook some gruel in them, and then squeeze out a few drops of venom from the soul booster needle while no one was paying attention.

The venom is limited, but enough to put 20,000 people unconscious. Then let the eagle department dig a big pit in the field and kill them all.

Everything was done without realizing it, and even most of the generals were kept in the dark. The people of the Eagle Department are absolutely loyal and will not leak half a sentence, only Zhang Meiniang and Shi A showed a trace of unbearable expression, especially Zhang Meiniang, a pretty face became snow-white, and finally couldn't hold back and vomited violently.

Jia Xu was speechless, and said to the two: "Even the lord doesn't know about this matter. As subordinates, we must always worry about the Lord and the public, and these things that are harmful to people can only be hidden from the Lord and done in private. ”

Shi A's watch instantly turned back to coldness, and he said in a deep voice: "All those who are enemies of the lord are my Shi A's enemies, and Mr. Wenhe has learned a lesson." ”

Zhang Meiniang wiped her mouth, and her heart was hardened, "Being able to do things under Mr. Meiniang has benefited a lot!"

Jia Xu glanced at Zhang Meiniang, and suddenly smiled meaningfully, "Miss Zhang, you have been in Qingzhou for more than three months. ”

Zhang Meiniang didn't know what his purpose was for suddenly mentioning this matter, but she definitely wouldn't be untargeted.

"Yes, seventy-eight days. Zhang Meiniang lowered her eyes and said.

Shi Ah didn't move in his heart when he heard this, he remembered it so clearly?

The lord said that with the expansion of the rear territory, the Eagle Department will also expand. At that time, Miss Zhang's responsibilities and personnel will increase. But I believe that Ms Cheung is absolutely capable of coping with it. ”

"Mr. Xie trusts, and thanks to the lord for his kindness. ”

"There are some things that you should forget. There are some things that should be decided sooner. The most important thing in the Eagle Department is loyalty and speed, and there is none. ”

Zhang Meiniang was terrified, "Mr. Xie mentioned." ”

She is not stupid, and she instantly understood what Jia Xu was referring to, and there were nothing more than two. First, forget about the part of the eldest lady of the Heavenly Master's Sect, don't be nostalgic, and don't win over the old department; second, handle the relationship with Yuan Xi and draw a clear line with Yuan Jun.

After working together for a few months, Jia Xu is familiar with Zhang Meiniang's personality. Unlike her innocent sister, she is precocious, stoic, calm, hardworking, and not afraid of challenges, to say that the biggest shortcomings are the above two, and there is a lack of experience in the management of a special team like the Eagle Department, but this is not a problem, except for the problem of loyalty, it can be cultivated.

"Mr. Jia, Mei Niang has a bold idea. ”

"Oh, please!"

"Dare to ask Mr. to take Mei Niang as an apprentice, and he will not hesitate to teach. So saying, he knelt down and bowed his head.

"I can't help it, I can't help it!"

Jia Xu didn't expect her to say goodbye, and hurriedly helped her up.

Zhang Meiniang refused to say anything, and wept: "Don't you dislike Meiniang's stupidity, and you will insult the teacher in the future?"

Jia Xu shook his head like

Like a rattle, "Miss Zhang, please get up quickly, Jia Xu once secretly made up her mind that she would never accept apprentices, and according to my qualifications, she is even more unsuitable for accepting apprentices." ”

Like Li Ru, Jia Xu offended too many people under Dong Zhuo at the beginning, and he did even more bad things, and having a family and apprentices gave him more concern and responsibility. What's more, because of people's suspicions, he is also withdrawn, so he has always been alone.

Seeing Jia Xu's resolute attitude, Zhang Meiniang had no choice but to look at Shi A for help.

Shi Adao: "Sir, Miss Zhang is smart and clever, quick in her work, and understands people's hearts better. If I worship you as a teacher, I can contribute more to the Lord. I heard that cultivating poison skills requires the presence of a dantian that can contain toxins, and if Miss Zhang doesn't have this talent, it's also due to God's will. But if there is, it's also the fate of Mr. ”

Jia Xu closed his eyes and thought for a while, "Miss Zhang, the drug test will be a little painful, are you willing?"

By implication, I finally agreed to give it a try.

Zhang Meiniang stood up happily, "I'm not afraid, what should I do?"

"I'll teach you a few simple mantras of luck, and then apply some toxins to you, you store the toxins in your body according to the mantra, if there is no stagnation, it proves that you can store toxins, then I will consider taking you as an apprentice, how about it?"

"Sir, please!"

At the moment, Jia Xu taught a few formulas, and Zhang Meiniang quickly memorized them.

"Miss Zhang, be careful!"

Jia Xu reminded him, sacrificed a soul booster, and stabbed Zhang Meiniang's white arm.

Zhang Meiniang slowly closed her eyes, sat on the ground, and ran the mantra according to her words. I saw a drop of dark green toxin travel along her arm, and disappeared when it entered the placket. At first, there was a painful look on his face, but then it eased a lot. After a cup of tea, she opened her eyes and said with a smile: "Sir, I have stored the toxin in the dantian, and there is nothing unusual. ”

"Really?" Jia Xu was a little surprised, "Then you can reverse the mantra and try the toxin into the veins." ”

Zhang Meiniang was still sitting cross-legged, holding a biting dagger, and after a while, a drop of toxin could be seen running from the back of her hand to the piercing dagger. After three hiding, she put away the piercing dagger, knelt down, and called "Master".

Jia Xu was helpless, so he had to wait for her to bow three times and bow nine times, and then help her up.

"I have a bad reputation, I do things unscrupulously, and I am called a poisoner. But there have always been two purposes for dealing with people, and they are also things that must be remembered when worshipping under my door. First, never lose faith in others, and second, wait for the lord to the end, and never have two hearts. Other than that, you can do whatever you want to do. ”

"Master's teachings, disciples will remember them in their hearts!"

"I have three kinds of exercises, the Ten Thousand Python Poison Technique, the Soul Booster Needle Method, and the Bat Footwork Method, except for the Soul Booster Needle Method, which is not suitable for you, the rest can be taught to you, but you can also give some guidance to your external skills. If you are interested, you will also be taught the layout of marching and fighting, the art of war, strategy, etc., as for how much you can learn, it depends on your talent and hard work. ”

"Thank you for Master's gift, the disciple will go all out!"
