It took five days before the recruitment of soldiers, which caused a sensation in the whole county, was completed, and a total of 1,500 new recruits were recruited

Zhuang Shaoyou's subordinates originally had 400 iron cavalry and 1,400 infantry, and nearly 200 people were reduced in the battle of Yu Goguryeo, and there were 1,600 people left, Li Le took 200 people to be stationed in the stone fort of Wanzi Town, and Zhang San took 200 people to mobilize the people to move in Hongya Town.

There were also 400 cavalry and 800 infantry in the county, divided into three battalions.

Now that 1,500 new recruits have been recruited, how to distribute these recruits is indeed a headache.

In the end, Zhuang Shaoyou decided to let Tai Shici give priority to the selection of people, and selected 500 people from these recruits to be cavalry, and just got 500 war horses from Goguryeo, so that the cavalry battalion would have a total of 900 iron cavalry!

Everything is handed over to Tai Shi Ci to train, mainly with salvo shooting, supplemented by his original regular training, with the cooperation of Qin Ling, there should be no problems.

The remaining 1,000 soldiers were first trained in a unified manner, and equipped with a thousand good bows obtained from Goguryeo, with a range of 200 paces, except that the penetration was slightly worse than that of the Han army's standard crossbows, and the other performance was not bad, and it was more light and fast to use!

These recruits, combined with the weapons and equipment collected from the last battle, are barely well-equipped.

Zhuang Shaoyou arranged them to train outside the city, and at this time, Zhang San arrived in Yudi County with nearly 2,000 people from Hongya Town, so Zhuang Shaoyou handed over the 1,000 recruits to Zhang San for training.

Then let Guoyuan arrange people to resettle, and rows of huts were built on the vacant land in the county, although simple, but it was better than nothing!

Resettle the relocated people, and then mobilize them to participate in various constructions, for example, the shipyard has a lot of labor because of Zhuang Shaoyou's key construction, and shipbuilding requires a lot of wood, so many people need to cut wood.

As for the Goguryeo prisoners captured in the last battle, they were all sent to Daheishan to do hard labor in the mines of the Mo family.

In May, the county was a thriving scene, with construction everywhere, expanding shipyards, building new ships, cutting down trees, building houses, going out to sea for fishing, mining and smelting iron, forging armaments, training soldiers, everything was going on in an orderly manner.

When everyone was busy, Zhuang Shaoyou was finally idle, in the county office, studying the book of heaven, practicing swords every morning and evening, it was pleasant.

Mo Mei was unhappy, and ran to the study angrily and grabbed Zhuang Shaoyou's ears:

"You have no conscience, you go out to fight for more than a month, you don't take me there, and when you come back, you say hello to me perfunctorily and then don't pay attention to me anymore,

A few days ago, you were busy, so I put up with it, but now, I don't come to see people when I'm free! Say! Don't you like people anymore? You thief! ”

Zhuang Shaoyou endured the sharp pain in his ears and explained: "Mo Mei, you can't blame me, I've been missing you all these days, but I've never dared to go to you!"

I'm afraid that I can't help but move my hands and feet when I see it, and it won't be good if I do something bad! I'm in trouble! ”

"Nonsense, you guy has always been a thief but not a thief, what do you dare to do to my mother? Don't try to fool me! ”

Zhuang Shaoyou heard it, mother, was despised by a little girl's daughter? There is a thief's heart but no thief's guts, right? I'll do it for you today! Let you know how powerful Lao Tzu is!

Zhuang Shaoyou broke free of Mo Mei's hand, suddenly picked her up, and pushed her down on the table, then pounced on her, kissed her cherry lips, and quickly picked up Mo Mei's clothes with both hands.

Mo Mei was frightened by his raid, and when he reacted, there were not many clothes on his body, and he immediately cried anxiously:

"Brother Shaoyou, please spare me! We haven't gotten married yet, you can't do that! Please spare me! ”

Mo Mei wanted to move with affection, but unfortunately the voice was too tempting, and Zhuang Shaoyou's blood gushed when he heard it, and the movements in his hands were even faster.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps in the courtyard, and then a voice came from outside the door: "General, Mr. Guo, please go and say that there is something important for you to discuss!" ”

Zhuang Shaoyou and Mo Mei were both frightened by this sudden voice, and the ** that was difficult to suppress just now was extinguished instantly, and they hurriedly dressed and lifted their pants, while shouting: "Don't come in yet!" ”

Damn! What could be more important than the continuation of the human race?

The people outside the door originally wanted to push the door in, but when they heard Zhuang Shaoyou's loud drink, they were immediately startled, and quickly stopped and stood in the courtyard worriedly

Why did General Zhuang, who has always been good-tempered, suddenly get angry? Did you hit the muzzle of the gun?

Zhuang Shaoyou finished tidying up his clothes and found that Mo Mei had run away without knowing something, and he hated it in his heart, he always braked so urgently, Lao Tzu would have a sheep's tail!

Zhuang Shaoyou pushed the door out, saw the worried subordinates in the yard, and felt helpless for a while, the person above sneezed, and the person below couldn't sleep for several days.

Trying to calm down, he asked in a soft tone, "What's the matter?" ”

The man's anxious mood calmed down a little, and said, "General, Mr. Guo invited you to go to the Zhaoxian Pavilion, saying that there is something important and please go in person!" ”

Careers? When Zhuang Shaoyou heard this, he had some expectations in his heart, did he catch a talent again?

Then hurriedly walked towards the Zhaoxian Hall, and the messenger was stunned there for a long time, his eyes were very confused.

Zhaoxian Hall is a small house next to the county government, with a small courtyard and a reception room, which is quite simple, but very tidy.

When Zhuang Shaoyou came in, there were already two people sitting opposite each other drinking tea in the room, one of them was naturally Guoyuan, and the other was a man about thirty years old and looking like a scribe

The skin is slightly yellow, the eyebrows are thick, the eyes are clear and deep, as if they can see through people's hearts, and when they hear someone coming in, they don't look back, just quietly drink tea alone.

When Guo Yuan saw Zhuang Shaoyou coming, he hurriedly got up and saluted, and then said: "General, this is my friend Hua Xin, Hua Ziyu, a native of the Gao Tang Dynasty in the plains, famous in Qingzhou and Jizhou, and a famous man in the world!" ”

Guo Yuan turned to Hua Xin again and said, "Brother Ziyu, this is my Lord General Zhuang!" ”

Zhuang Shaoyou looked at Hua Xin in front of him, and was very happy in his heart, this Hua Xin seemed to be a celebrity, as if he was a strategist, so he stepped forward and saluted:

"Mr. Hua, in Xiazhuang Shaoyou, just entered this county, thirsty for talents, I have heard Mr. Hua's name for a long time, like thunder, and I hope that Mr. Hua will not dislike it, and can give a little guidance sooner or later!"

Hua Xin turned around, looked at Zhuang Shaoyou calmly, and didn't get up to return the salute, but said lightly:

"What kind of development can a small county have? It's great, but it's just a corner of Liaodong. ”

When Guo Yuan heard this, he immediately felt anxious, and hurriedly persuaded: "Brother Ziyu, General Zhuang is a young hero!" ”

Hua Xin waved his hand to stop Guoyuan, Guoyuan was suddenly speechless, it was too faceless!

Zhuang Shaoyou thought in his heart, according to the convention, capable people are generally a little arrogant, especially when choosing a master, they will put on a full shelf, they must be humble and polite, but also have great ambitions, and then they can fool others to work for themselves.

So Zhengse said: "Although the sparrow is small, it has the ambition of a bird!" In the past, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was just a pavilion chief, knowing people and being good at winning the world, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, was arrogant and dry, and he was defeated in the hands of Liu Bang, Liu Bang can do it, why can't I?

Although it is small, but the potential is huge, now the people live and work in peace and contentment, everyone has farmland, food, clothing, soldiers are well-equipped, well-trained, all of them are united, and if they continue to develop, sooner or later they can win the world! ”

The more Zhuang Shaoyou spoke, the more excited he became, and a sense of pride naturally emanated, and Guo Yuan next to him was also excited when he heard it, while Hua Xin nodded with a smile, and then asked:

"Xiangping City in the north is like a moat in front of the general, if Xiangping Gongsun Du suddenly sends troops to attack, how should the general deal with it?"

Zhuang Shaoyou said without hesitation: "The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth!" Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Goguryeo were still beaten and fled, and now my strength has doubled, that is, Gongsun Du has exhausted the troops of Liaodong to attack, and this general is also confident to block them! ”

Hua Xin said with a smile: "Even if the general can block Gongsun Du's expedition, it is only a corner of the situation, with Gongsun Du choking the throat in the north and prohibiting people from traveling and traveling, wouldn't the general be trapped in this barren land in southern Liaoning?" ”

Zhuang Shaoyou didn't care: "Mr. Hua, the first-class people in this world can always make the impossible possible, and the insurmountable moat can also become a smooth road, and the unruly fierce horse can also gallop meekly!" ”

Hua Xin suddenly became curious and asked, "I want to hear about it!"

"How did Mr. Hua get here?"

"Naturally, I came by boat!"

"What does Mr. Hua think of this Bohai Sea?"

"Vast and unfathomable, treacherous! What a moat! If it weren't for the boatman's rich experience, coupled with some astronomy in Xia Dong, he could predict some weather, maybe he would have fallen into the Bohai Sea to feed the fish at this moment! ”

Guoyuan, who was on the side, heard Hua Xin's words and recalled that on his way to Liaodong, nearly half of the people died halfway, some died of starvation and disease, but more were swept into the sea by the wind and waves and drowned, it was really a human tragedy at that time!

If those people who fled were not forced to have no way to live, how could they take such a risk to come to the bitter cold land of Liaodong?

Zhuang Shaoyou smiled: "If you can turn this Bohai Sea moat into a smooth road, then what does Mr. Hua think?" ”

Hua Xin was shocked when he heard this: "If the general can really do it, then wouldn't this Bohai Sea be galloping?" Jizhou and Qingzhou will be under the general's front, and the general has the final say on whether to fight or fight! ”

"That's right! General Ben is now going all out to build ships, and he lost two large ships in the last battle with Goguryeo, and there is one left, but in two months it will start to replenish quickly! ”

Hua Xin recalled the things that Guoyuan told him about Zhuang Shaoyou, which was indeed admirable, and he would be able to create such a situation in half a year with a mess with nothing

In fact, Guo Yuan was already tempted when he described it, but seeing is believing and hearing is false, Hua Xin only believes in his own eyes, coupled with the arrogance of celebrities, so there is such a temptation.

Hua Xin suddenly got up and bowed to Zhuang Shaoyou and said, "General, my subordinates are willing to serve the general to the death!" ”

Zhuang Shaoyou was overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly helped Hua Xin up with a good salute: "So there is Mr. Lao!" ”
