Qin Feng really can't afford to wait, time is his biggest enemy now.

It takes energy and time to recruit the county soldiers in each county, disrupt the original establishment, and then reorganize and assign them to the counties to adjust the defense, but the Taishou Mansion and Li Tong of Runan County will not give him much time, and the news that more than a dozen county towns in the south have been captured by unknown forces will definitely spread, and Li Tong will definitely lead the army to attack.

He said to Yang Hong: "If you want to find a way to hold off Li Tong and buy more time for our army, Yuan Li should have a way in this regard!" ”

Yang Hong clapped his palms: "Yes, the Yuan family is deeply rooted in Runan, and almost all county governments have people from their Yuan family, if you make a move in terms of grain, grass and baggage, you should be able to hold Li Tong back for a while!" ”

"Well, at this time, I hope that Mr. will take it to heart and explain this matter to Yuan Li as soon as possible!"

"No!"

Qin Feng sent someone to find Yan Xiang again.

"Lord, I heard from the people below that you are looking for you, I don't know what to send?" Yan Xiang asked after walking into the county hall and saluting.

Qin Feng beckoned Yan Xiang to sit down and speak.

"Sir, my Flame Army is short of talents, I intend to post lists in all counties under my jurisdiction to recruit talents, what do you think?"

Yan Xiang looked at Qin Feng with an inexplicable gaze, and said in his heart, "Post a list to recruit talents? What is your reputation? Do the Magi know you? Ever heard of you?

Qin Feng was embarrassed by Yan Xiang, and couldn't help but say, "Why does Mr. look at me like this? Although my reputation is not obvious, we have ambitions and ideas, and the Flame Army is determined to cleanse the world of injustice, burn the filth of the world, and restore a bright world to the world, so that everyone in the world can have clothes to wear, a house to live in, a place to wrap their stomachs, and everyone can study! As long as we show our ideas to the world, I think there will be people with lofty ideals! ”

Yan Xiang raised his eyebrows, "The intention of the lord is to write these on the list to attract people with the same ideas and ambitions to come?" ”

"Exactly!"

Yan Xiang hesitated, "······ Maybe it's worth a try! ”

In the afternoon of the same day, a list of the Flame Army's recruitment of talents was posted outside the Yamen of Xincai County, attracting many people to watch.

“······ There is no limit to background, there are warriors, talented people, and those who are comrades with us! Someone in the crowd chanted.

In the crowd, a young man slowly turned around with a sword, and walked towards the gate of the county office.

For more than two hours in a row, Qin Feng also met with five "Magi" who were attracted by the recruitment list, it is undeniable that these Magi have all read, but in terms of how high their talents are, these people can only reach the top with a county order at most.

Qin Feng still left them, there are still many civilian positions in the army, and there are also many vacancies in the county and county offices, these people can be accommodated.

"Captain Qiyu, there is a young man named Chen Zhi outside the door, a peaceful person, eight feet five inches long, and he looks quite brave!" At this moment a small official who was in charge of receiving the Magi outside the door came in and reported.

Chen? Qin Feng was stunned, this is a talent buried by Romance!

He immediately shouted, "Invite him in!" ”

Soon, a young man was led in by the little official, "This is the commander of my Flame Army Qin!" ”

When this young man saw Qin Feng sitting on the main seat, he was afraid and didn't expect that the interviewer would be such a young person.

Command? I have never heard of such an official position, but I am afraid that it is self-appointed.

When Chen Zhi observed Qin Feng, Qin Feng was also looking at him.

"Pingyu Chen has seen Commander Qin!"

Qin Feng came back to his senses, raised his hand and said, "Chen Zhuangshi doesn't need to be polite!" When today's princes are divided, and the people are not able to make a living, the most bitter thing is the people, if the world is not unified, if the war does not stop, the people will not be able to be stable! ”

"A group of like-minded people have established the Flame Army in this troubled world, and the proposition and purpose must be known to Chen Zhuangshi after reading the list text, can Chen Zhuangshi have the same ideas and aspirations?"

Chen Zhi nodded: "Yes!" ”

Qin Feng got up and walked over and stretched out his hand: "Then welcome Chen Zhuangshi to join us!" ”

"Uh······" Chen Zhi was a little dazed, and stretched out his hand to shake it with Qin Feng in a daze, this is what he added?

Qin Feng was very happy to be able to recruit a military general of Chen's level, and immediately said: "Since Brother Chen is already my own person, I will arrange a position for you, so that you can integrate in as soon as possible!" Brother Chen can know martial arts, is he good at commanding and training troops? ”

Chen Zhi hugged his fists and said: "The commander is polite, my word is uncle, and the commander can call me the word!" I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and I have been practicing martial arts for fifteen years, and I have read some military books in my spare time! ”

Qin Feng thought about it for a moment and beckoned Chen Dao: "Come with me!" ”

Chen Zhi followed.

Qin Feng brought Chen Zhi to the barracks, gathered a hundred newly recruited recruits and handed them to him: "These are a hundred recruits, if you can train them to advance and retreat freely within a month, like an arm, you are the commander of this hundred people, can you do it?" ”

Although Chen Zhi had read the book of soldiers, he had no actual experience in leading soldiers after all, but as soon as he joined, Qin Feng gave him such a great trust, and he couldn't let Qin Feng down, so after a little groaning, he hugged his fists and said, "I'll try my best!" ”

In addition to recruiting talents, the Flame Army also recruited soldiers in various counties within its jurisdiction, gave a considerable settling-in allowance, and promised to pay military salaries every month after enlistment.

The considerable settling-in allowance is already very attractive, and there is a military salary every month, which makes many young people have the idea of joining the army.

In the jurisdiction, more than a dozen counties, 5,000 people were recruited within ten days, but as time went on, the number of soldiers who could be recruited became smaller and fewer, after all, the population base in the jurisdiction was only so much.

On this day, Juniper and Lu Meng came to report: "Captain, we have disrupted the original establishment and reorganized the county soldiers in various counties, can we transfer them to each other?" ”

After listening to this, Qin Feng took out a roster and handed it over: "This is the roster of county lieutenants and tuntun chiefs of each county, as for the chief and the chief of the army below, they will be selected from the ones who performed well during the exercise!" ”

After speaking, he took out a plan for the implementation of the adjustment and defense, "This is a change of deployment, you can just implement it according to this!" ”

As one of the responsible persons of the county soldiers involved in the reorganization, Lu Meng took over the name and the deployment plan, but he was very embarrassed and said: "Captain, we are illiterate, can we send a civil official to accompany us?" ”

Qin Feng was surprised: "You are illiterate? ”

"I don't know!" Lu Meng replied honestly.

This made Qin Feng very strange, a famous general who could defeat the second child was illiterate.

"That······ I can send a civil official to follow you, but you will be a person who will stand alone in the future, and you can't be illiterate! I see that there are several families in the city, these people will have a collection of books in their homes, why don't you wait to borrow a few books to read, if you don't know the words, you can ask the officials around you! ”

Juniper and Lu Meng glanced at each other, and immediately agreed: "No! ”

After sending the two away, Qin Feng got up and moved his muscles and bones, and when he came to the backyard, he heard Xiao Qiao playing the piano, he couldn't help but be fascinated when he heard it, the sound of the piano was melodious, the timbre was clear and clear, and it flowed like it came from a deep mountain valley.

When the sound of the piano stopped, he came back to his senses and couldn't help applauding: "Good piano skills!" ”

Xiao Qiao didn't need to look up to know that it was Qin Feng coming, so he said angrily: "What are you doing?" ”

"Attracted by the sound of the piano, the sound of the piano lingers for three days, which is fascinating!"

Xiao Qiao said in a cold tone: "You have won more than a dozen cities in one go, and there are only 3,000 men and horses in your hands, and the foundation is extremely unstable, those families and landlords are not clear about your reality, if they know that you only have this strength, it will be when you are defeated!" ”

"You think I'm stupid?" Qin Feng replied, and immediately told Xiao Qiao everything he had done these days.

After hearing this, Xiao Qiao did not sing again, but said: "You can send someone to contact Liu Biao in Jingzhou and Zhang Xiu in Nanyang, Zhang Xiu rebelled, he must also be worried that Cao Cao will raise troops to attack, and he needs help!" ”

Qin Feng thought for a moment, "It's no problem to contact Zhang Xiu, but is it too early to send someone to contact Liu Biao at this time?" My strength is still too weak, my reputation is not obvious, and the envoy may not be able to see Liu Biao when he goes! ”

Xiao Qiao said: "As a person who can play the Jiangdong Army around, how can you not have a reputation in Jingzhou?" ”

Qin Feng nodded, this is true, Liu Biao must be paying attention to Jiangdong's every move at all times, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu have suffered such a big loss, it is impossible for Liu Biao not to receive the news.

"Then I will select the right people and let them set off to meet Liu Biao and Zhang Xiu respectively!"

After Qin Feng finished speaking, he leaned over and laughed: "You promised to be my wife in the village, or you and I will take care of the family affairs?" ”

Xiao Qiao's face turned red, and he hurriedly said, "I, I'm not ready yet!" ”

Qin Feng said: "You don't need to prepare, I will arrange some of them, just wait for you to put on a red hijab!" ”

Xiao Qiao's face turned pale when he heard this, and he said in a hurry: "You still don't have a safe place to live, and if you want to get married at this time, don't you smell the beauty like a steel knife scraping bones?" I did promise you, but if I want to be willing, you must become a prince, or I would rather die than give in! ”

Qin Feng looked at Xiao Qiao, saw that her expression was firm, and dropped a sentence: "Remember what you said today!" ”

When Qin Feng left, Xiao Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't know what she was thinking in her heart, she only knew that she was not ready to marry at this time, let alone ready to marry Qin Feng.

"Miss, the captain has put it forward, why did the lady refuse, didn't the young lady promise the captain that as long as he released General Ling, the young lady would marry him as the lady of the village?" The maid walked over and asked.

Xiao Qiao scolded angrily: "Dead Nizi, what do you know? I promised, but I didn't say when I would marry him! ”

The maid pursed her lips, "Scoundrel! ”

"What do you say?"

"No, I didn't say anything, the maid went to make soup!"

Yang'an County, Duweifu.

The official position of the governor belongs to the military governor of a county locally, and the governor of Runan County is Li Tong, and the governor's mansion is not in Runan City, but in Yang'an, a county town close to the border of Jingzhou.

"Captain, the spies sent to investigate the changes in An Chengcheng are back!" When Li Tong was practicing sword techniques in the courtyard, a soldier came to report.

Li Tong stopped, put the big knife on the weapon rack, and waved his hand: "Let him in!" ”

Li Tong is now three years old Chinese New Year's Eve, just in the prime of life, he is a landlord from a strong background, a few years ago in Runan County in a mess, Cao Cao's people, Yuan Shu's people, the remnants of the Yellow Turban, and the thieves who appeared in various places fought each other here.

At that time, Li Tong gathered some Zhuang and family members also formed a force, he set up a banquet to invite several groups of thieves and leaders to discuss matters, killed them during the banquet, annexed the men and horses of these thieves, a total of more than 5,000 people, and then he took people to defect to Cao Cao, Cao Cao named him Zhenwei Zhonglang General, stationed in Yang'an, and later served as a pioneer in the battle against Zhang Xiu, promoted to a general, and served as a marquis.

The spy was quickly ushered in, "I've seen the captain!" ”

Li Tong asked, "Can you find out the specific details of Ancheng County?" ”

The spy said: "Ancheng County has been captured by a group of men and horses called the Flame Army, there are not many people in the city, only five hundred, and there are only eight hundred county soldiers who have surrendered, but at this time they are only allowed to enter, not to leave!" ”
