In fact, it was not only Huo Jun who recruited troops there, but also Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, Gan Ning and others at the same time, as the third way of soldiers and horses, arrived at the west bank of Pengli Ze by boat, and they also began to conquer the city and collect people.

In Wuyang County, the county hall is staggered, and the laughter is endless.

Zhang Fei's dark face was slightly red under the influence of alcohol. On his left and right sides, there were seven or eight sect thieves, all of whom were shiny, toasting Zhang Fei and praising his might. Zhang Fei also did not refuse to come, and the host and guest enjoyed themselves.

Suddenly, Zhang Fei put down the wine bottle and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, the Sun clan is tyrannical and chaotic. General Zuo wants to expel the Sun clan and support the Han family, but I don't know if you can help. ”

When everyone heard this, the joyful atmosphere turned solemn, and they looked at each other and were silent. Obviously, they were unwilling to help General Zuo in Zhang Fei's mouth and help him support the Han family.

After a while, the slightly older Zong Shuai said: "General, our ability is limited, I am afraid it will be difficult to run left and right for General Zuo, and I am willing to give some grain and grass." I wonder what the general thinks? ”

"Exactly!"

With someone taking the lead, the rest of the sect commanders responded in unison. In their eyes, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei first entered Yuzhang, and if they want to govern Wuyang well, they must rely on themselves.

As for Zhang Fei wanting them to contribute, what kind of jokes are they making, and whether they can gain a firm foothold in Yuzhang is a question. If you really want to contribute, at least wait for the situation between Sun and Liu to be clear, and then bet and invest.

Zhang Fei also seemed to anticipate this situation, looked at the county magistrate Fang Chun, and said, "It seems a little difficult to do!" ”

Fang Chun wiped the sweat from his forehead, but he knew that this General Zhang in front of him was not easy to mess with. These thieves were able to come to the banquet because they were forced by him to send someone to invite them.

"In that case, Hugh is rude!"

After speaking, with a bang, Zhang Fei threw the wine bottle in his hand to the ground fiercely, and shouted: "Where is the knife and axe hand?" ”

Fifty sword and axe hands poured out of the rooms on both sides of the county government, and they rushed in murderously, preparing to eradicate the thieves in the hall.

Unexpectedly, these thieves were also prepared, and the guards around them were guarded by soldiers. The sect thief who was close to Zhang Fei's body was burly and quite brave. With a sonorous sound, he drew his sword out of its sheath, and he said sharply: "Zhang Fei, I will wait for General Zuo's prestige to give you some grain and grass." An dared to be so bold today, and he was really impatient. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Fei seemed to have heard something funny, and laughed a few times, as if he was laughing at this person's ignorance.

Seeing that Zhang Fei was ridiculing himself, the thief angrily swung his sword and stabbed it, as if to poke Zhang Fei transparently.

Seeing this, the fierce light in Zhang Fei's eyes exploded, and the momentum of the force rose out. At this moment, everyone felt that there was a bloodthirsty beast hidden under this scholar's suit!

Zhang Fei dodged the sword sideways, stepped in, and faced the sect thief with his bare hands.

The thief felt a sense of crisis and wanted to make a move.

It's a pity that Zhang Fei is faster than him, as fast as lightning, grabbed his hand with one hand, slapped his face with the other, and shouted: "Lu Bushang is not so snub to me Zhang Fei, who are you?" Cao Cao is afraid of my brother, you dare to say this. ”

The power of Zhang Fei's palm was beyond imagination, and the voice shook the ears of everyone present.

"Smack!"

With one palm, the thief's face was half swollen, and blood spilled from his ears.

Then, Zhang Fei grabbed the man's collar, turned his palm into a fist, and smashed it towards the person's temple, hitting him so that his eyes were full of stars, his eyes were black, and he fell to the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

Many of the thieves in the hall watched in amazement, a young thief who was close to him, watching this scene, his legs were weak, and the pale yellow liquid wet his trouser legs.

Zhang Fei shook his hand nonchalantly, and then punched and kicked the two attendants who pounced. However, staring at everyone with his fierce gaze, staring at the past one by one, as if staring at a dead person, it made people's hearts chill, but they didn't know what to do.

Zhang Fei showed his yellowed teeth, tried to use a gentle tone, and said: "Fei has always persuaded people with reason, I wonder if you are willing to help General Zuo?" ”

Zhang Fei's words seemed to be light, but under the bright sword and axe hand and the amazing force he had just had, everyone fell silent again.

The elder Zong Marshal spoke again and said, "The general is angry, and I am willing to be dispatched from the general." ”

"Exactly!"

"We are willing to follow General Zuo Kuang to support the Han family and drive out the Sun family."

"A certain person who is willing to go out of the clan to fight with the general."

"Me too!"

Under the gossip, everyone vied to show their loyalty to Zhang Fei.

The corners of Zhang Fei's mouth bloomed, and he said: "You wait for one by one to make a note here, and then let your cronies bring men and money and food to ransom people." If you don't get 1,500 people, don't go back. ”

After being in the north for so long, Zhang Fei's heart has also increased, of course, it is impossible to let them go back easily, but to let them bring strong men, money and food to ransom people.

As for why they didn't kill them all and devour their people. The main thing is Liu Bei's thousands of advices, and he can't ruin his reputation. Otherwise, with Zhang Fei's character, how could he tolerate their group of insects.

"General, there are three hundred people from the guy who fell to the ground. His intention is to murder the general, and the general can collect all his men. Someone suggested.

"Good!" The smile on Zhang Fei's face became more and more vigorous, and he said: "You can just get together 1,200 people, and when Fei calms down Yuzhang, these sons and daughters will return to their hometowns rich and rich." ”

Zhang Fei waved his hand and motioned for everyone to sign up in front of Fang Chun, but he was sitting next to him drinking wine, and when he saw them arguing with each other and forcing each other to have more men, he grinned.

After this incident, Zhang Fei didn't believe that they could still get together.

Under Zhang Fei's persuasion, he recruited 1,500 recruits in Wuyang County, and with the 1,000 people in his headquarters, he could also make up 2,500 people.

……

Pengze County is an important county seat on the east bank of Poyang Lake. Zhao Yun defeated the defenders and captured the city.

One day, Zhao Yun led hundreds of soldiers to block the gate of Zhou's village.

The head of the family, Zhou Fu, who was wearing leather armor, showed his head behind the wall and shouted: "Who is the general, I don't know what happened when I came from afar?" ”

Zhao Yun got off his horse, bowed and said: "A certain is Yuzhou Mu, under the account of General Zuo, and Zhao Zilong, the general of Zhonglang." Now the Sun clan is rebellious, and Zhao went out with the army to conscript, but here, I heard that there are many men in the Jun family, and I don't know if there are people who are willing to serve the country? ”

Zhou Fu looked at the burly men and horses under Zhao Yun's tent, holding bows and guns in their hands, where was the appearance of recruiting soldiers. It is estimated that if he refuses, he doesn't know what will happen to this Zhao Zilong.

"General Zhao waited for a while, and the government discussed with the clansmen for a while." Zhou Fu shouted.

Seeing this, Zhao Yun frowned slightly, looked up to see the sky, and saw a line of geese flying by, so he took off his bow and arrows, bent his bow and arrows, and the arrows came out.

"The first time the cloud visited, there was no return gift, but today it is a gift to shoot geese."

After speaking, with a whoosh, the arrow broke through the sky, and the geese fell down with a wail.

The Zhou Mansion in the village looked up and saw such a scene, trembling all over, and hurriedly shouted: "General Zhao, there are only 300 men in the clan, is it feasible to send 80 people out of the house?" ”

"Feasible!" Zhao Yun replied: "I offended today, and I ask you to forgive me." ”

Zhao Yun's methods were relatively gentle, and after some operations, he only recruited more than 700 people, plus the hundreds of defenders who surrendered, barely reaching 1,000 people.

……

Poyang County, located on the shore of Poyang Lake, has a dense water network, vertical and horizontal lakes, and thieves and bandits are entrenched in it.

In order to recruit soldiers, Gan Ning sent people to appease Qian Tong, but he refused. Gan Ning led his subordinates with 800 people, and under the leadership of the guide, attacked the Shuikou camp at night. Qian Tong was captured, and he and his 500 men surrendered to Ganning. Coupled with the 1,000 people Gan Ning raised in Poyang County, the number of people under the tent also reached more than 2,300.

Compared with the bitterness of the other three, Guan Yu is famous, and he is in the sweat. The county's heroes and rangers heard Guan Yu's prestige and rushed to take refuge. In addition, Guan Yu personally recruited troops, and in less than ten days, more than 1,600 people were recruited.

The four generals of Guan Zhang, Zhao Gan, swept through the counties on the west bank of Pengli, recruited soldiers and horses, and won nearly 5,000 people. Together with the 5,000 soldiers and horses of the headquarters in Xia Jiangdong, Liu Bei's corporal was as high as nearly 10,000.
