…

With the order given, under the command of the flag, the city gate was slowly opened.

Looking at the open city gate, the cavalry waiting outside the city gate moved directly and entered the Yanmen Pass.

Zhang Liao nodded lightly, not to mention anything else, the basic quality of this recruit unit is still quite good.

And at this moment, a voice came from beside him.

"How many are these?"

Hearing this voice, Zhang Liao looked over according to the direction from which the voice came from, and said softly, "Gongtai, this is the sixth team, and it will soon be able to gather the troops back!" ”

When Chen Gong heard this, he glanced sideways at the cavalry entering the city, and said with emotion, "I didn't expect to be able to recruit so many people, it's really powerful." ”

I thought that because the territory of the annexed state was vast and sparsely populated, and it was now the season of grain harvest, it would be more difficult to recruit troops under such circumstances.

I didn't expect it to be so smooth, it went too far, it seems that he doesn't know enough about the people of the state.

"Although it is the season of grain harvest, there are only a few places that can grow grain in the state, and the grain planted in many places can only solve the problem of food and clothing." Zhang Liao shook his head and said calmly.

In some remote places, for the people in those places, planting food for one year can only solve the problem of food and clothing for the next year.

If the grain harvest is not in place, it is necessary to think about how to survive the next year.

So for some people, joining the army is sometimes better than growing food.

Of course, in the state, this situation is a minority after all, and in most places, serious food cultivation can still feed a family.

At least in this respect, it is still a little stronger than Liangzhou.

In that poor place in Liangzhou, it is really not suitable for growing food, and the food that is planted seriously for one year is not enough to eat for the second year.

In this case, for the vast majority of the people in Liangzhou, it is better to grow food than to pick up a knife and fight for a future where they can live with knives and guns in their hands.

"Grain." Chen Gong was silent for a while, and finally said with a slow sigh, "This is indeed a big problem. ”

It's not that there is no food, it's just that there is less food in storage.

But any normal person who sees that kind of grain storage has to be fearful.

After all, the amount of grain stored in the state is outrageously low, but if there is a natural or man-made disaster, it basically means that the next year will be cool.

In this case, compared to the regular grain harvest, you still have to earn extra money when you should be earning extra money.

In this season of grain harvest, it is also the season when the northern Hu people are the richest.

In order to store food for the winter, every tribe on the grassland will do its best to stock up on the materials needed to survive the winter.

As for whether it is by plundering other tribes, or by relying on the grasslands with abundant water and grass, or other methods, it doesn't matter at all, as long as the materials can be stored, what does the life and death of other people have to do with the tribe?

In this case, the Hu tribe that is still alive naturally has a lot of materials stored in their hands, and these rich materials are naturally targeted by Lu Bu.

Lu Bu, who has been fighting abroad all the year round, knows quite well the habits of the Hu people.

At this time when it is impossible to send troops under normal circumstances, choose to gather the army, prepare for a wave of sudden riches, and get food that can make the entire army last another year!

"Don't worry, Gongtai, this is a state, even if the grain is not harvested, we can still live!" Zhang Liao's face was calm, and his tone was full of confidence.

The Hu people went south to herd horses, they went north to hunt Hu, no one should blame anyone, only those who won could speak, and the dead only deserved to lie on the ground.

Chen Gong nodded after hearing this, he had been in Bingzhou for so long, and he could be regarded as understanding the living environment and living conditions of this place.

Compared to the prosperity of other places, Bingzhou is really desolate.

The land is vast and sparsely populated, and there are no families enclosing land here, even if there are only a few, they can only sigh in this regard.

In a huge place, there is nothing but land, and there are not even many people.

For all this he knows, Chen Gong can also understand, after all, there are things, if you say no, you really don't have it!

"Wen Yuan, there is a somewhat familiar person!" Chen Gong stood on the city wall, looking at the team that allowed the people to enter again after the army entered, and saw the Lu army going north among them, and said thoughtfully, "Although it is a little strange, it seems that it is understandable to send this person over." ”

"Gongtai, who?" Zhang Liao carefully looked at the people entering and leaving the city gate, and didn't see any strange people, so he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Chen Gong and asked with some doubts.

"The people under Liu Xuande's command, although their level is lower, but they came alone, they should be tempted." Chen Gong glanced at Lu Jun and said as calmly as possible.

When Zhang Liao heard this, he directly put his hand on the hilt of the sword on his waist, and said in a low voice, "Gongtai, in this case, do you want to kill him quietly?" ”

"Why?" Chen Gong looked at Zhang Liao with some doubts, and said inexplicably, "It's just a temptation, and you still need to do it?" ”

Zhang Liao looked at Chen Gong with strange eyes, and asked slowly, "Gongtai, have you been busy lately, so you forgot..."

Under Zhang Liao's narration, Chen Gong finally understood the reason.

At the beginning, he relied on Xun Yu to come to Bingzhou, and successfully served as an official and a half under Lu Bu to help deal with government affairs.

And that kind of skillful government affairs handling proficiency was instantly appreciated by Zhang Liao.

In Chen Gong's surprised gaze, Zhang Liao forcibly handed over his government affairs to Chen Gong.

In that case, Chen Gong had the power to handle the entire state affairs, and this trust made Chen Gong a little overwhelmed.

In order to repay this trust, Chen Gong also began to seriously deal with state affairs.

Although he has not opened his spiritual talent, relying on his own experience and ability, it is not a problem to deal with a state affairs at all.

After all, the population of one merged state is not necessarily as large as that of other counties.

And it is precisely because of this ability to deal with state affairs that Chen Gong easily entered the inner circle of power under Lu Bu.

Zhang Liao also knows very well that it is impossible for a talent like Chen Gong to come to Bingzhou for no reason.

Coupled with Cao Cao's previous behavior and arrangements, the people under Lu Bu's command basically slapped the label of Cao Cao's forces on Chen Gong.

Out of respect for Chen Gong, the others did not spread this point out, lest the people who could help them deal with government affairs run away, and then let them handle government affairs themselves.
