After years of continuous improvement, the military salary of the Qingzhou Army is generally composed of the following parts: basic monthly salary, military age allowance, military rank allowance, position allowance and special allowance. Theoretically, the longer you work for Qingzhou, the more money you get.

There are Yangzhou soldiers who have crossed their fingers to count for themselves, just enlisted in the army with a monthly salary of 1,000, and then increased by 100 every year, if you can make meritorious deeds, from ordinary soldiers to soldiers, captains, and schools, and can hold military positions, then there are two more money. And these money are all sent to their own hands in real time, and they do not go through Shangguan. In this way, the usual deduction of military salaries will not exist.

In this way, the soldiers are all tempted. It's not out of desperation, who would choose to be a soldier and eat food. But under the command of Yuan Shu, they fought in many places, and they were used to seeing life and death, and they also hardened their hearts. They could be buried in the wilderness at any time, but they can't even guarantee their own money. Perhaps when he first joined the army, he also had the good wish of a husband who was determined to fight for a future. But Yuan Shu didn't give them this chance. As a result, they often turned into bandits, robbing merchants and people, and then gradually lost in the pleasure of looting.

Now that the army has been defeated, their hearts are tired. Who wouldn't want to be a good person if they had the chance. So they all thought about leaving the army. Take the wealth you have accumulated over the years and go home to have a look.

Some people are really tired and just want to go home. Others have long since lost their families, and some others have nothing but to kill people with knives. The latter two types of people originally planned to find a random place to occupy the mountain as the king, and they were free and comfortable in the grass, and they didn't have to worry about not being able to get money for their lives. However, since the treatment of the Qingzhou Army is so good, and it is followed by Liu Bei, who has a good reputation. Why don't you try it in the Qingzhou Army first?

In just a few days, Liu Bei was among the soldiers and raised 3,000 healthy soldiers.

However, it was said that Vice General Chen Lan led the defeated army, ran all the way to Xiapi, and reported to Ji Ling and other generals. Ji Ling and the others heard that Liu Bei and Zhang Fei were worried about the attack, and they immediately knew that the general trend had been lost. Chen Lan is definitely not Liu Bei's enemy. So they discussed the matter of retreating the army, and Xiapi could not defend it, and it would be a lonely city to defend it again. It's worthless to keep the army here. When he was about to send an envoy to report to Yuan Shu, the scout came to report first: "General Chen died in battle because of the worries, and the worries have been obtained by Liu Bei. ”

As soon as Ji Ling asked, Chen Lan was stabbed to death by Zhang Fei with a spear, and his heart couldn't help but feel cold. Busy with Qiao Rui and Lei Bo said: "You don't need to report to the lord, it is the best policy to retreat quickly." If we wait for the lord to reply, our army will not be able to retreat. ”

Qiao Rui and Lei Bo thought for a while, it is true, the soldiers are very fast, if they report to Yuan Shu first, and wait for his approval, the time that will be delayed on the road back and forth, maybe Liu Bei and Zhang Fei have already sealed the road. If you want to retreat then, how can Liu Bei agree? So the discussion was decided, and the camp was allocated on the same day, and the army withdrew south.

Yuan Jun also heard the news that his worries had been lost at this time. Lives were at stake, so everyone was urgent, and they worked together to clean up, and then the army was exhausted, all the way to the south.

Liu Bei didn't expect Ji Ling and the others to escape so quickly. As soon as the people had been pacified, the soldiers had been reorganized, and they were about to send troops to Xiapi, the officials on the Xiapi side beat gongs and drums and ran to meet their new masters.

Ji Ling and the others fled all the way south to Xu County, and then they breathed a sigh of relief, and then sent someone to report to Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu heard that Pi County was lost, Chen Lan died, and Ji Ling and others led the army to surrender to Xu County. He couldn't help but be angry, and he wanted to ask for sin. Yuan Zhong next to him persuaded: "Your Majesty, although Ji Ling and the others have lost, it is also a great achievement to be able to save tens of thousands of troops from Rongnan. It is not fit to sin. ”

Yuan Shu reacted, Ji Ling and the others still have tens of thousands of horses in their hands, and now this precarious situation still needs these generals to do their best to maintain it for him. If you ask for your guilt, Ji Ling and the others have bad intentions, then it will be too late to regret it. So he sent a messenger to Xu County to comfort him. Then he asked Ji Ling and others to defend Xu County and Suiling, using Huaishui as the line of defense to block Liu Bei in the north of Huaishui.

He also ordered Zhang Xun, who was in Peiguo, to strictly guard the area of Zhuyi and Fuli to prevent Cao Cao from going south. After the order, Yuan Shu yawned and went to the palace. It's really comfortable to get drunk and dream of dying every day.

Liu Bei even took care of it and went down. The army was very strong, so he led the army to Xiaqiu, and divided his troops with Shamo, and asked him to go to Guangling to help Yan Yan. Yan Yan was also overjoyed to get the help of Shamo, so he attacked again and again, Yuan Yin was defeated, so as not to lose, so he collected the garrisons of various counties, shrunk the defense line, and tried to protect Guangling.

Yuan Yin believes that with the Yangtze River's natural insurance, Guangling will definitely be guaranteed. Sun Ce was in Wu County, and when he saw Liu Bei coming menacingly, he said to Zhou Yu: "Now I am in Wu, Liu Bei is in Guangling, and Yuan Yin is under the enemy." It is better for me to withdraw the troops and disciples to appease Yuan Yin's heart. ”

As soon as Sun Ce withdrew the Dantu garrison, Yuan Yin immediately reacted. Sun Ce's kid is fake against Yuan, and it is true that he wants to dominate Jiangdong. Otherwise, why didn't he attack himself with Liu Bei, but withdrew his troops to hint that he could deal with Liu Bei with all his might, without worrying about his back?

However, Yuan Yin didn't have time to denounce Sun Ce, and Sun Ce's withdrawal from Dantu really made Yuan Yin breathe a sigh of relief. In terms of troop deployment, he was a little calmer.

Yuan Yin's soldiers retreated to Guangling, and Yan Yan took advantage of the situation to take Ping'an and Gaoyou counties. When Ji Ling heard this, he scolded Yuan Yin, and then guarded the platform with thunder and thin, in case Yan Yan attacked Suiling from Guangling.

However, it was said that Cao Cao was in Yuzhou and led the civil and military governors of the counties. When he arrived in Peiguo, Cao Cao thought to himself, he left home as a young man, and then went around as an official, and fought in many places, since he came today, he would go back to his hometown to have a look.

When I arrived in Qian County, I saw all the fathers and elders, and I was happy and happy. During the banquet, talking about the rural people, there are village elders: "Meng De has taken care of Benzhou, can you know the name of the strong man Xu Chu?" ”

Cao Cao smiled: "I want to hear about it." ”

The villagers were full of interest, foaming at Cao Cao and saying that they would get up. Xu Yu, whose name is Zhongkang, is also a native of Cao Cao, Cao Cao's little fellow countryman. He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and when he grows up, he is more than eight feet tall, with a strong appearance and great bravery. When the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke up, the thieves and bandits rebelled in the township, and Xu Yu gathered thousands of people to build a fortress to resist the thieves. From time to time, there were more than 10,000 thieves in Runan Gepi, and when they heard that Xu Yu had food, they came to attack. Xu Yu led the crowd to fight with him for several days, exhausted, and there were no arrows, and when the thief approached, Xu Yu retreated with flying stones. The thieves suffered countless casualties, and they did not dare to do so for fear of Xu Yu's bravery. So they surrounded him with soldiers. After a few days, Xu Yu ran out of food, and deceived the thief to ask for peace. Discuss the exchange of cattle and thieves for food.

The thieves got the ox, but they didn't give food, and surrounded Xu Yu, Xu Yu was furious, ran to the front of the battle, and walked more than 100 steps against the tail of the ox. So they dispersed. After this battle, Xu Yu's reputation was shocked, and all the thieves in Yuzhou, Huai, Ru, Liang, Chen and other places were afraid and did not dare to commit it. In recent years, the county has been able to have peace, thanks to the power of Xu Yu.

When Cao Cao heard this, his eyes flashed with great interest, and he said: "I don't expect that there are such heroes in my hometown, I can't see them." So he wanted to see Xu Yu.

The villager listened to it, and he also made fun on the side, please lead the way.

All the way to the vicinity of Xu Yu's house, Cao Cao saw that there was a high wall as a fort, and there were families cruising back and forth. The villager next to him said: "This is Xu Zhongkang's family." So the soldiers stepped forward to post, and after a while, the gate opened, and a big man hurried out.

When he came to Cao Cao, he bowed down and said, "Xu Zhongkang has seen Cao Yuanjun." ”

Cao Cao picked up Xu Yu, looked at it carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, what a strong man! So he followed Xu Yu into the house, and said to Xu Yu during the banquet: "Today is sowing chaos, and the four seas are boiling." Zhongkang is very human, why not follow me to make immortal achievements? ”
