Noon, Luoyang City, Rongfu.

Zhuang Shaoyou received the report and learned about what happened on the waterway of the Yellow River, and was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Maybe it's all God's will!" Although Yuan Shao ran away, it was not a human fault, pass on my orders, and reward meritorious soldiers! That Mo Thirteen's mind is quite flexible, so let's take a credit! ”

"Yes!"

"By the way, warn Mo Thirteen, don't think that General Ben doesn't know about the good things he did in Puyang! Although there is no prohibition in the military regulations of southern Liaoning, it is definitely not advocated! This is an internal affair of the Mo family, and General Ben will not interfere, let the Mo master watch it! ”

"Yes! Checkmate! ”

The soldier in charge of the order was speechless for a while, and let Master Mo watch it? Mo doesn't seem to know about this yet! According to the general's meaning, do you want to inform Master Mo? If that's the case, wouldn't Mo Thirteen be dead? The general's murder with a knife is really ruthless!

After the herald retreated, Zhuang Shaoyou began to think about it, in recent years, a large number of strong men have been recruited from Qingzhou and Jizhou in southern Liaoning, and there are many fewer unmarried women, and the ratio of men and women is seriously imbalanced, and it is also a big problem for many men to not be able to marry wives! He has a group of wives and concubines, and he can't let his subordinates beat him, right?

At present, the whole of Luoyang has just been taken over, and the troops are obviously insufficient, and this problem must be solved quickly!

Also, Tai Shici's cavalry battalion should also be expanded, although 5,000 people are elite, but the number is too small, and in the future, in large-scale field battles in the Central Plains, 5,000 people will not be enough!

In addition, the sailor has also been expanding rapidly, the Goguryeo Kingdom since the sky-high price from Zhuang Shaoyou bought the four-masted warship, day and night construction, the sailor construction speed is extremely amazing, Gao Nanwu seems to be iron-hearted, a blockbuster! Looking at the entire northern part of the Central Plains, except for southern Liaoning, no one can really stop the four-masted warships that have been formed, and this matter started because of southern Liaoning, and southern Liaoning is duty-bound!

Thinking about these many questions, Zhuang Shaoyou immediately convened everyone to discuss the matter, and the first priority at the moment: recruiting soldiers!

With the efficiency of the General's Mansion, just after noon, a recruitment notice was posted at the south gate of Luoyang City, and the reason was very high-sounding:

"Zi'er is restless at the border, and the four Yi are moving, plotting against China; In order to punish the traitors and eliminate the evil, deter the four yi, protect the world of the Han dynasty, and protect the people of the world, so recruit strong men to fight the four yi, and train the elite to settle the world! ”

As soon as the recruitment notice came out, the refugees in the south of the city were in an uproar, and they talked about it one by one, and soon the hundreds of thousands of refugees in the south of the city all knew about it, and when they learned that the general was going to recruit soldiers, they were all very excited and eager to try.

Zhuang Shaoyou personally went to the south of the city to preside over the recruitment, announced a few rules and requirements and recruitment standards, as well as the approximate number, and quickly fled back to the city, for no other reason, the refugees were too enthusiastic, seeing the idol in person, one by one shouted hard, Le Jin with five hundred soldiers finally protected Zhuang Shaoyou in a small corner, from disturbance, if it continues like this, maybe it will be happy and sad, and it is not good to make a stampede! So, go for the best!

Zhuang Shaoyou set up a total of four recruiting points in the south of the city, each of which was only a primary selection, but the primary selection alone was enough to discourage most refugees. There is no way, in the face of hundreds of thousands of enthusiastic refugees, if you don't raise your standards, then what's the point? Fortunately, Zhuang Shaoyou's prestige is high enough, otherwise those refugees who lost the election are likely to smash the recruitment point.

There are three criteria for the primary selection:

1. Seniors with one skill are preferred! Those who can ride horses can expand the cavalry battalion for Tai Shici, otherwise he should be in a mood again! Those who know water can be used to expand the water division, and the population base in southern Liaoning is obviously insufficient! There is a shortage of talents like you! What's the horse? Is that place particularly long for you? Sorry, we don't recruit stallions here! I'm still single! Unless you have there that you can use for war! Bibi will send you to the palace to serve the emperor!

Second, those who have been in the army are preferred, and everyone with work experience is of course welcome! What? You used to be a deserter? I'm sorry, where to stay cool, don't delay my work on a hot day! What's the horse? Are you not convinced? Okay, let me tell you, it's understandable to change jobs, but it's not a good habit to be okay! Get out of here!

3. Shenma? You won't know anything? It doesn't matter, as long as you are healthy and strong, and you have a persistent and sincere heart, we are willing to slowly carve your piece of jade! Be confident! In fact, all you lack is an opportunity, come on, I'm optimistic about you!

The primary selection for conscription was carried out in an orderly manner, and Zhuang Shaoyou returned to Rongfu, but he heard the report of his subordinates, and the envoy of Ding Yuanjun asked to see him!

Ding Yuanjun's envoy? What is he here for? Do you want to hug Lao Tzu's thighs?

That's right! Ding Yuan did plan to do so.

Zhuang Shaoyou came to the living room and saw a burly man with the appearance of a general standing there, about eight feet tall, looking not very old, at most in his early twenties, but there was a bit of majesty between the thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a bit of general demeanor, but the towering cheekbones were destroying this feeling, which made people feel a little weird.

Seeing Zhuang Shaoyou coming in, the man quickly got up and respectfully saluted: "The last general, Zhang Wenyuan, pays a visit to the general of the auxiliary state!" ”

Zhuang Shaoyou is very useful, in fact, what he hates the most is the title of "young master", anyway, it is awkward! Although the general of the auxiliary country is half a level lower than the young master, his name is beautiful!

And, what is this person's name? Zhang Wenyuan? Could this be the legendary Zhang Liao?

Heroes are used to seeing ordinary people!

Zhuang Shaoyou smiled, and replied casually: "It's better to be famous than to see it, General Wenyuan's name is shocking, and when I see it today, it really deserves its reputation!" Have a seat! ”

"Wen Yuan is just a pawn under the command of Ding Thorn Shi, the general praises falsely, Wen Yuan is terrified!"

After the two sat down, Zhuang Shaoyou glanced at Zhang Liao, who was a little cramped and uneasy, and smiled slightly, for the purpose of Zhang Liao's visit today, he already knew seven or eight points in his heart, and he was not in a hurry at the moment, and said with a roll of his eyes:

"Wen Yuan's Gui Geng geometry this year?"

"Back to the general, Wen Yuan is just and weak! It's just that the face is a little old-fashioned, hehe! ”

Zhang Liao replied honestly, and laughed at himself very humorously, but Zhuang Shaoyou asked in surprise:

"Wen Yuan has done this at such a young age, and his future will definitely be limitless!"

Hearing Zhuang Shaoyou's praise, Zhang Liao was slightly embarrassed, and hurriedly said modestly:

"Wen Yuan is just a reckless man, compared to the general, like a firefly and a bright moon!"

Zhuang Shaoyou laughed: "Why should Wen Yuan be arrogant? Believe that anything is possible! A few months ago, General Ben was just a small servant in a remote place! Who would have thought that there would be today? ”

Zhuang Shaoyou said this, Zhang Liao was dumbfounded, and did not dare to open his mouth again, Zhuang Shaoyou's legend is not only a household name in Luoyang, but now he is afraid that he has become famous all over the world, this kind of self-mocking words can only be said by himself, and others dare not pick up the stubble.

Seeing that Zhang Liao was silent, Zhuang Shaoyou was not reluctant, he got back to business, and then said:

"How long has Wen Yuan followed Ding Tingshi? Who else is in the family? ”

Zhang Liao hurriedly replied respectfully: "General Hui, Wen Yuan has been following Ding Tingshi for more than two years!" Even if Wenyuan is from Yanmen, there are all the old fathers and mothers in the family, and there are five brothers and sisters! ”

"Wenyuan is a hero like this, and it is very good to want to come to the family, right?"

Zhang Liao wondered very much in his heart, why did this general speak so incoherently? Even ask about the trivial things at home? When I looked up carefully, I just saw Zhuang Shaoyou's calm and smiling eyes, and suddenly came to my senses! This old fox! No, little fox!

Zhang Liao coughed lightly: "Back to the general, several of Wen Yuan's brothers are hunting in the family farm, and they can't afford to be generals!" Wen Yuan is here for... ”

Zhuang Shaoyou waved his hand and said: "General Ben was overjoyed when he saw Wen Yuan, today he only talks about personal relationships, not about official affairs!" ”

One sentence pushed back Zhang Liao's carefully prepared rhetoric, Zhang Liao was suddenly anxious, after all, he was at the age of a young and vigorous weak crown, and he was not as complicated as Zhuang Shaoyou's experience, and he didn't care about any skills at the moment, so he got up and knelt down to salute, and said eagerly: "The general forgives his sins!" Wenyuan is entrusted by people, loyal to people! Today, I am entrusted by the history of Ding Thorn, and I have important things to discuss with the general! ”

Zhuang Shaoyou groaned slightly, and said lightly: "Retreat." ”

Zhang Liao was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously asked: "Then what?" ”

Zhuang Shaoyou said casually: "No more!" ”

Zhang Liao was so surprised that his jaw almost fell to the ground, no more? So ruthless?

Zhuang Shaoyou seemed to guess what Zhang Liao was thinking: "Wenyuan, this morning, Yuan Shao escaped from Mengjindu, and was almost sunk by the general's warship, if it weren't for Yuan Shao's fate, he might have been buried at the bottom of the river to feed the fish at this moment!" If Ding Yuan hadn't stopped him last night, how could General Ben have allowed Yuan Shao to run away? Now Ding Yuan is isolated, the Han is now worried about internal and external troubles, the general is really unwilling to fight in the nest, so he let him go, the general's warship is still wandering on the Yellow River, if the general does not agree, Ding Yuan can not fly out of the division with his wings! Wen Yuan, do you think Ding Tingshi still has the qualifications to negotiate conditions with General Ben? ”

When Zhang Liao heard this, he was immediately shocked, is there such a thing? No wonder I haven't heard from Yuan Shao for so long, it turned out that he was chased and killed by Zhuang Shaoyou, so why didn't Yuan Shao come to join Ding Shaoshi? It's better to send someone under the fence than to die in the world, right? Also, why is Zhuang Shaoyou so ruthless? Even the most outstanding descendants of the Yuan family dare to hunt down and kill, so he is not afraid of the Yuan family's revenge?

As for the problem of warships, Zhang Liao didn't have any concept in his heart, but when he came to Luoyang from Bingzhou this time, he also had to cross the river, and it took a lot of effort at that time, if Zhuang Shaoyou's warship blocked it, it was really not easy to cross the river!

Of course, for Zhang Liao, who is not accustomed to water warfare, Zhuang Shaoyou's war ships are a little more troublesome, but he never thought that if Zhuang Shaoyou did not agree, the state army would definitely not be able to cross the Yellow River!

Thinking of Ding Yuan's entrustment before leaving, Zhang Liao's head was big for a while, and he was still counting on bargaining with Zhuang Shaoyou, but now it's good, people have blocked the road with a word, how can I explain to Lord Ding when I go back? Lord Ding is notoriously hot-tempered, who has to scold whom, how is this good?

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Liao's eyes rolled, there is!
