223.Chapter 223: Settle in
In Jinyang City, Liu Pi and Gong Du led Yang Feng, Li Le, Han Xian, and Hu Cai to meet Chen Xu.
Chen Gong himself, but with Dian Wei and dozens of soldiers under his command, went to Yanzhou, preparing to recruit the Taishan army.
When he was in Baibo Valley, Chen Gong first let Dian Wei defeat Xu Huang, showing the might of the generals of Bingzhou.
Then, he pointed out the strength of the Bingzhou army and outlined a bright future.
After Yang Feng and the others were moved, he threw out the high-ranking officials and began to recruit the Bai Bo army. The Bai Bo army is now in a dilemma, and does not want to surrender to Dong Zhuo.
Chen Gong came to recruit them at this time, and naturally there was no difficulty in the slightest.
When Chen Xu learned that Yang Feng and others had come to join him, he was overjoyed and went twenty miles out of the city to greet him.
Seeing this, Yang Feng and the others were naturally grateful. It was night, the moon was bright and the stars were scarce, and Chen Xu was in the state pastoral mansion, setting up a banquet to entertain Yang Feng and others.
After three rounds of drinking, Chen Xu had a hint of drunkenness on his face, he took Yang Feng's hand and said: "Chen Xu is not talented, Meng Daxian and good teacher take a fancy to marry Ling'er to me." ”
"Since then, a certain day has worked hard for the future of the Yellow Turban Army, and he has not dared to slack off."
"Although the Han family is declining, the power of the clan and the powerful is still very strong. It was when I saw that the Yellow Turban Army could not overthrow the Han family independently, so I led my brothers and hid in Taihang Mountain. ”
"Although we have changed our faces now, in a certain heart, it is still difficult to forget the last wish of the great sage and good teacher. However, Xu has few soldiers and is difficult to achieve. ”
"I am fortunate to have four people come to help today, I am very relieved, very relieved!"
Yang Feng and the four of them naturally did not forget to show their loyalty. They said in unison, "May I die for the Lord!" ”
"Good! Good! Good! ”
Chen Xu stroked his palms and laughed, then took a sip of wine, pulled out the sword in his waist, and began to dance the sword in the middle of the table.
He read aloud: "Singing about wine, what is life?" For example, the morning dew is bitter in the past. ”
"Be generous and unforgettable. How to solve the worries, only Du Kang. ”
"Qingqing Zijin, relax my heart. But for the sake of the king, he has been groaning so far. ”
"Yo yo deer chirping, apple of the wild food. I have guests, drummers and shengs. ”
"It's as clear as the moon, when can it be done? Worries come from it, and they cannot be cut off. ”
"The more strange you are, the more vain you coexist. Qi Kuo talks about the feast, thinking of the old grace. ”
"The moon stars are scarce, and the black magpie flies south. Three turns around the tree, what branches can be followed? ”
"The mountains are not tired of being high, and the water is not tired of being deep. Zhou Gong vomited and fed, and the world returned to the heart. ”
"Hahahaha!"
After stealing Cao Cao's "Short Song Xing", Chen Xu laughed loudly, and tears flowed out.
In this era, he has been trembling for his life. After becoming the overlord of one side, he deeply felt that his subordinates were not talented.
I remembered the difficulty of recruiting talents in the past, and now I have a lot of talented people. Only then did Chen Xu realize that Cao Cao was in the mood to write this song.
couldn't help but recite the song Chen Xu.
Tian Feng was surprised when he heard Chen Xu singing. He didn't expect that his father-in-law would have such a talent.
After Chen Xu finished the song, Tian Feng chewed it carefully, and couldn't help but stroke his palm and praise: "Good song, good mind, good spirit!" ”
Yang Feng and the others are all rough people, although they don't understand the meaning of this song. But since it was made by Chen Xu, they naturally would not be stingy with admiration.
Moreover, the last sentence 'The mountains are not tired of being high, and the water is not tired of being deep.' Zhou Gong vomited, and the world returned to the heart', but they understood.
Chen Xu is hoping that all the wise men who are wandering in the world can come to him.
He will definitely be like Zhou Gong Naxian, treat the Magi well, and create a situation of 'the world returns to the heart' with them.
For a time, the entire state pastoral mansion was full of sycophants.
Chen Xu was drunk, and he first shamelessly stole Cao Cao's works. And then he was at ease and accepted the praise of everyone.
A long time for the lord of the father, made him cheeky. It also becomes very thick.
He threw away the long sword in his hand, opened his hands and said: "The talented people in the world, although they are like the bright moon, they are unattainable!" ”
Speaking of this, Chen Xu suddenly paused, and then he used his hand to point to the generals present one by one, and said loudly: "However, you wise men who have come from afar can condescend to me. ”
"At today's banquet, talk to me on your knees. I'm so grateful, so grateful! ”
It was only then that the generals knew the meaning of this song, and everyone said: "I am fortunate to be able to win the favor of the lord, and I am fortunate to wait for three lives!" ”
That night, Tian Feng drummed and blew the sheng, and the generals danced swords in the field, and everyone drank happily. In the end, Chen Xu got drunk and was sent home.
This banquet is just to welcome Yang Feng and others. But for their clear official positions, Chen Xu has not informed a few people.
To be honest, before this, Yang Feng and the others were somewhat uneasy in their hearts.
But after this banquet, the hearts of several of them settled down.
In the song written by Chen Xu, the meaning of thirst for talent is so strong. Yang Feng and the others didn't believe that Chen Xu would not reuse them.
On the second day, as soon as the sky was bright, Chen Xu summoned Yang Feng and others to visit the school.
Along the way, Yang Feng and the others saw that the Bingzhou army was well-disciplined, well-armed, and morale was high, and their hearts were shaken.
After visiting the school field, Chen Xu took four people and a team of cavalry to gallop in Bingzhou.
After running for several days, Chen Xu never said what kind of official positions he wanted to give to several people.
After returning to Jinyang again, Chen Xu asked Yang Feng and the four of them: "After visiting the Bingzhou Army and the territory of Bingzhou, do you have anything in mind?" ”
Yang Feng and the four of them, although they didn't know what Chen Xu meant, they still didn't dare to slack off.
Yang Feng took the lead in replying: "In my view of the main school, the soldiers are elite and the armor is complete, and they are really rare strong soldiers. ”
Hu Cai said: "Although the land of Bingzhou is vast, it is sparsely populated along the way. ”
Hearing the words of the two, Chen Xu sighed and said, "That's right! ”
"The fact that the state is vast and sparsely populated and underpopulated has always been a big problem. If the population is insufficient, it will not be able to raise a large number of soldiers, so I annexed the territory of the state, so I took the route of elite soldiers. ”
At this time, Yang Feng and the others knew what Chen Xu meant.
There is also a lack of population, and there are elite soldiers. Chen Xu's implication was that they would disband their own team and let these people replenish the population in the state.
Although they knew what Chen Xu meant, they didn't say anything. In the end, none of them wanted to give up their military power.
Chen Xu knew the thoughts of several people, sighed and said: "What I mean, you should understand, the population in the state can't afford to raise too many troops. ”
"Besides, although there are many warriors in the White Polish army, most of them are outcasts with low combat effectiveness."
"What I mean is to select the elite of the White Wave Army, and then give the rest of the soldiers land so that they can live a stable life."
Hu Cai suddenly said: "Can everyone get a share of the land?" ”
Chen Xu nodded and responded: "The territory of Bingzhou is vast and sparsely populated, and there are many wastelands that have not yet been cultivated. As long as the local officials do their work seriously, they will be able to add a lot of land to the state. ”
"In this way, everyone will be able to get a share of the fields."
When Hu Cai heard this, he said to Yang Feng and the others: "We will follow the great sages and good teachers, what is the original intention of the uprising?" Isn't it so that brothers, everyone can have land to grow and everyone to eat? ”
"Now, since the lord has given such conditions. How can we let our brothers lose such a good opportunity for our own selfish desires? ”
When Yang Feng and the others heard this, there was no way to retreat, so they hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "How to deal with the Bai Bo Army, but it is up to the lord to decide!" ”
Only then did a smile appear on Chen Xu's face.
Helping them up, Chen Xu said: "With the increase in the territory of our army, the previous troops are also a little stretched. ”
"There are a lot of warriors in the Baibo army, and some brothers who are unwilling to farm must be left to form an army."
"As for the four of you, do you want to defend one side, or do you want to be the official of a county, or do you want to stay in Jinyang and continue to be generals and fight on the battlefield in the future?"
Several people are very clear about their catties. Without more than 100,000 Bai Bo troops, it is impossible for them to defend one side.
As for becoming a county official, although it is also a good choice. But with their talents, I am afraid that they will not be able to hold the position.
In addition, now that the world is in turmoil, it is the time for heroes to rise, and if you don't make contributions at this time, when will you wait?
followed Chen Xu in Jinyang, although it was usually just a false title. But when there is a war, it is possible for them to reap the credit.
So without any hesitation, several people expressed their willingness to continue to stay in Jinyang as generals.
When Chen Xu heard this, he was naturally overjoyed. He named Yang Feng as a lieutenant general, and the rest of the people were all lieutenants.
Subsequently, Chen Xu personally went to the Baibo army to select elite soldiers.
I have to say that it is not uncommon for elite fighters in the White Polish Army to fight.
But when they heard that they could get the land without soldiers, many people did not want to continue to live a life of licking blood from the knife edge.
So after some screening, there were more than 100,000 Baibo troops, and only 10,000 elites remained.
Subsequently, Chen Xu transferred Xu Huang away and made him his personal commander.
Then he made Yang Feng, the commander of the elite of this ten thousand white waves, responsible for weekday training, and dispatched Zhao Huang as Yang Feng's deputy general.
Li Le and Han Xian, but Chen Xu transferred them to Shangjun and became the deputy generals of the trapped camp.
As for Hu Cai, he is the captain of the city gate in Jinyang and is responsible for the security of the city.
In this way, Chen Xu quietly dismantled several people, and was able to make them very satisfied.
After all, until now, Yang Feng and others still have not accepted Zhao'an, and have always been in the name of anti-thieves.
In addition, they have a bad background, and they are already very satisfied to be able to get the positions of lieutenant and lieutenant general.
It can be said that Chen Xu treats them very well. Even Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, who have repeatedly made military exploits, only have the official position of Zhonglang General.
Even Yang Feng, Bai Rao, Liu Bi, Gong Du and others, who were the first to defect to him, only had the official position of school captain.
Therefore, Yang Feng and the others are also very satisfied with the official positions they have obtained.
