After Zhao Xing talked with Zhang Nan and Zhang Xu brothers respectively, he found that these two people did not have much loyalty to Yuan Shao, but when they heard that Yuan Shao's name was big, they went to defect and wanted to mix in Jizhou.

Although Zhang Nan and Zhang Xu revealed the meaning in their words, as long as Zhao Xing could ensure the safety of his brother Zhang Kai, they would join the state, but Zhao Xing was unmoved and did not immediately agree to the matter. Since these three brothers can't faithfully work under Yuan Shao's account, even if they defect to Bingzhou, how good can they be in the future?

Now that Zhao Xing's generals are increasing day by day, many times he can't take care of and observe. It is foreseeable that in the future, the generals under Zhao Xing will not only break through the 100 mark, but will also move towards 1,000 in the future. Zhao Xing has too many secrets that other forces have not mastered, and once one of his generals collaborates with the enemy and rebels, the losses will be very huge.

After thinking about it, Zhao Xing still decided to use Zhang Nan and Zhang Xu as a weight to exchange with Yuan Shao and come back from Jizhou to get some benefits. As for this pair of third-rate generals who are not very loyal, it is better to leave it to Lao Yuan and continue to "enjoy" it slowly.

After seeing the Zhang brothers, Zhao Xing saw Zhang Yi again. This young general from Shuzhong, short and slender, with bright eyes, talked with Zhao Xing eloquently, and his words were very organized, and he was actually a knowledgeable general. After a conversation, Zhao Xing became more and more moved by the idea of recruiting Zhang Yi. Zhao Xing then asked Zhang Yi: "How is your family background now?"

Zhang Yi replied: "Gaozu once served as Sikong, and great-ancestor once served as Guangling Taishou, until his father's family fell into the middle of the road, and now he is still a second-rate family in Shuzhong. ”

"Have you ever thought about switching to merge with the state?" Zhao Xing then asked again.

"I don't dare to deceive the general, I have thought about it, but the ancestral tomb is still in Shu, and Yi dare not forget it!" Zhang Yi said politely, but his attitude was resolute, which was equivalent to politely rejecting Zhao Xing.

Zhao Xing nodded, left the courtyard where Zhang Yi was located, and then came to the last courtyard where Lei Tong was under house arrest. The ancients had a very strong concept of vernacality, so it was indeed difficult for Zhang Yi, who was born in the southwest, to join the northern state. However, everything is artificial, since Zhao Xing has the idea of recruiting Zhang Yi, he will definitely arrange people to make some efforts in the future, and when the time is ripe, maybe he can also move Zhang Yi.

After seeing Lei Tong, Zhao Xing originally thought that Lei Tong should be as short and sturdy as Zhang Yi, and belonged to the appearance of a typical man in the southwest region, but found that it was diametrically opposite. Lei Tong is not only tall and tall, but also has a typical northern man's accent and manners. Curious, Zhao Xing asked Lei Tong where his hometown was, and Lei Tong replied that he was born in Guangyang (now southwest of Daxing, Beijing), and only when he grew up did he go to Shuzhong with his fellow villagers to make a living.

Hearing that Lei Tong was a northerner, he left his hometown and went to Shuzhong in order to make a living, and Zhao Xing suddenly came to his senses. Zhao Xing asked about Lei Tong's parents and brothers, and the young man said that he didn't know either, and that he might have died of the great plague that had rampaged in the north a few years ago. Zhao Xing carefully inquired about the relatives and friends in Lei Tong's family, asked Li Jinsi to take the notes carefully, and immediately sent the shadow to investigate.

Lei Tong saw that Zhao Xing attached so much importance to himself, and he was moved in his heart, and without waiting for Zhao Xing to solicit him, he actually offered to take the initiative. Zhao Xing naturally happily agreed, and then also arranged for Lei Tong to go to the Crouching Tiger Martial Arts Hall to study and prepare to be appointed in the future.

After the inspection from the Shadow Headquarters, Zhao Xing sat in the carriage and began to think about what to do with Cao Hong, Zu Mao and other generals, as well as the more than 10,000 prisoners captured from Yuan Shaojun, Yuan Shujun, Shu Jun, and Cao Jun. As for the 30,000 Dong Zhuojun captured, 60,000 Xianbei Qingzhuang, and 10,000 Black Mountain thieves, none of them will be put back. These 100,000 young and strong, Zhao Xing will still be of great use in the future.

Zhao Xing, who had a headache thinking about things, opened his mouth and asked the cousin beside him: "Jinsi, guess what, among the five forces of Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Sima Lang, who is willing to cut meat and exchange prisoners, and who may not care about the life and death of the captured soldiers?"

Li Jinsi was asked by Zhao Xing, so he frowned and thought for a while, and then replied: "I guess Cao Cao is the most willing to cut meat, and Yuan Shu may not pull out a dime." ”

"You're only half right. The one who is most willing to cut meat must be Sun Jian, because he has a deep friendship with Zu Mao, but it is Yuan Shu who is not pulling out a dime, so this guy will not take care of the more than 4,000 soldiers who were captured alive by us. Zhao Xing analyzed with a smile.

"Brother Xing, if the forces on several sides feel that the conditions we have offered are too harsh, what if we don't want these captured generals and soldiers? Could it be that we can feed them for the rest of our lives?" Li Jinsi asked with some concern.

"Don't worry, it's always a sky-high price, and you have to pay it back on the ground. We can send Qin Yilu or Liu Jili to talk to them about this matter slowly!" Zhao Xing put on a profiteer's face and said with some excitement.

"This time, we will use Zu Mao to exchange a batch of shipwrights from Sun Jian's Wuzhou, use the Shu army captives to exchange a batch of medicinal materials for making gold sore powder from Sima Lang, use Zhang Nan and Zhang Xu to exchange a large amount of iron ore from Yuan Shao, use Cao Hong and 2,000 Taishan soldiers to exchange a large amount of grain from Cao Cao, and as for Yuan Shu's more than 4,000 Danyang soldiers, we will stay and use them ourselves!" Zhao Xing counted one by one with his fingers, he was more like a businessman than the big butler Liu Jili.

After listening to his cousin's plan, Li Jinsi immediately answered: "Brother Xing, you asked for a shipwright from Wuzhou, and left Danyang soldiers who are familiar with water, are you going to form a sailor battalion?"

"Yes, this matter has been delayed for six years, and it can't be delayed any longer! When we take the northern part of Jizhou and drive our army into Bohai County, we will need a naval division to fight and transport. In the future, to dominate the world, there are many, many places where you need to use a water master, and you will be able to understand my intentions in the future......" Zhao Xing replied to Li Jinsi with a resolute face.

"In the future, I will instruct the Shadow Officers who travel all over the world to pay attention to and discover talents who are good at water warfare, craftsmen who can make big ships, and no matter what, dig up more talents to come back, so as not to delay your great work. Li Jinsi said expectantly.

After a while, Li Jinsi's voice suddenly sounded in the car again: "By the way, Brother Xing, there is something I almost forgot to report to you." The daughter of Scholar Cai, Miss Wen Ji heard that you had returned to Crouching Tiger City recently, and rushed to the General's Mansion from Taihang Academy early this morning, saying that she must see you......"

"Stop! Turn the horse's head, we will stay at the Shadow Headquarters tonight......" Zhao Xing, who was already a little sleepy, suddenly shouted, as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on his head, and his whole body was excited.

PS: After 21 o'clock in the evening, there will be at least one more shift, pay attention to the wording of the South Road, at least ......
