Jinyang City, in a mansion, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao stood opposite each other.

Looking at Gao Shun, who was dressed in a military uniform and was in high spirits, Zhang Liao's face was a little complicated.

Gao Shun once said to Zhang Liao that his ideal was to form the most elite army.

This army, every man among them, was heavily armoured, and was to be proficient in foot combat, cavalry warfare, and bows and arrows.

It can be said that Gao Shun had this idea of trapping the camp a long time ago.

However, Zhang Liao sneered at Gao Shun's ideals. In his opinion, it is impossible for such a team to appear in the world.

Because, the cost of this team is too big, it is simply too big to bear.

But when Gao Shun appeared in the Yin Pavilion with the trapped camp, Zhang Liao knew that Gao Shun's ideal had been realized.

used to be a close friend in the middle of the road, and now the official worships Kou Zhonglang. And he has also become the commander of the elite troops.

And he himself is now a prisoner.

met under such circumstances, Zhang Liao, who has always been young and ambitious. The bitterness in his heart can be imagined.

When Gao Shun arrived in Yanmen County, Ma Yi had already been broken by Wang Yan, and Zhang Liao was captured alive. Zhang Liao, who was captured by the Yellow Turban Army, has also been transferred to the Yin Pavilion.

But Gao Shun was not the slightest dissatisfied with Wang Yan's actions.

Because he asked Chen Xu to let Wang Yan and the others stop attacking Mayi, it was not right in the first place. He asked for this, but it would make Dian Wei and the others lose face.

But for the sake of his best friend, he can only do so.

Moreover, the fighters on the battlefield are fleeting. Wang Yan was able to grasp the opportunity and break through Mayi City in one fell swoop, which was originally a commendable thing.

What made Gao Shun quite fortunate was that Wang Yan and others broke through Mayi City, and they really didn't hurt Zhang Liao's life.

And after they captured Zhang Liao alive, they did not insult Zhang Liao.

When Gao Shun arrived at the Yin Pavilion, the entire Yanmen County had already been decided, and there was no war at all.

Then Gao Shun took Zhang Liao and returned to Jinyang.

After capturing two counties in a row, Chen Xujun's strength was unprecedentedly high. Although they were in the cottage, they already had 80,000 foot soldiers and 10,000 cavalry.

But now that he has captured the two county towns, Chen Xu found that his troops were a little stretched.

The affairs inside and outside have long made Chen Xu busy. So after Gao Shun brought Zhang Liao, he never had time to visit Zhang Liao.

Besides, the current Zhang Liao is just a turtle in an urn, and he can't escape Chen Xu's palm at all. So there is no need for Chen Xu to go to see him in a hurry.

The current Zhang Liao is still not mature enough. Chen Xu felt that it was necessary to suppress Zhang Liao's arrogance.

Gao Shun looked at Zhang Liao, who was a little lonely, and he was also a little puzzled. He didn't understand why his own lord didn't seem to value a talent like Wen Yuan.

He led Zhang Liao to Jinyang, and it had been three days.

But his father-in-law never asked Zhang Liao about it, as if he had completely forgotten that there was such a person.

After hesitating for a moment, Gao Shun still said: "Don't worry about Wenyuan, my lord is eloquent and talented, and he is eager to seek talent." Like Wen Yuan, he will definitely not let go. ”

"If you wait patiently for a few more days, the lord will definitely come to visit you."

Zhang Liao smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "I am a general of the defeated army, and I am already very fortunate to be able to survive, how dare I expect anything else?" ”

Seeing Zhang Liao's appearance, Gao Shun gritted his teeth and said, "Wen Yuan will stay in the courtyard first, and I will go to see the lord, and I must recommend you to him." ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for Zhang Liao to speak, and turned to leave.

"Solemnly, solemnly!"

Zhang Liao saw that Gao Shun said to leave, and wanted to stop him, but it was already a little too late.

He followed Gao Shun, and as soon as he reached the gate of the courtyard, he was blocked by several heavily armed trap soldiers.

Seeing this, Zhang Liao had no choice but to give up.

He was still a prisoner, and he had no freedom of movement at all. Even his family members were placed under house arrest in disguise.

In the conference hall of Jinyang, Tian Feng gushed endlessly: "The lord's voice is in the territory of Bingzhou, and as soon as the text arrives, all counties and counties will hear the wind and descend. ”

"Although the elite soldiers under the lord's account are brave, there is still a lack of talents to manage internal affairs."

"If all the counties and counties are replaced by the henchmen of the lord, how can there be so many talents in the army?"

"Besides, in the future, if the lord attacks the rest of the counties, the local officials will definitely not dare to surrender again."

"In my opinion, the officials in each county town can still perform their duties. The lord can observe carefully, and then eliminate the busy people and promote the talents. ”

Cheng Yu on the side also nodded slightly.

After Tian Feng stopped speaking, he continued: "Not only the local officials, but even the former county and county officers and soldiers, the lord must use them again. ”

"These county soldiers, although their discipline is broken, their combat effectiveness is very low. However, they still play a vital role in maintaining local law and order and cracking down on banditry. ”

"In this way, we can not only alleviate the situation of insufficient troops after we expand our territory, but also stabilize the people's hearts in various counties."

After thinking for a while, Chen Xu rubbed his brows and said a little tiredly: "In this way, I will act according to the words of the two military advisors." ”

With the expansion of his power, Chen Xu felt more and more that his subordinates were too lacking in talents.

Now he has to do almost everything himself, often working late into the night to rest.

"I wonder if my uncle will come to Bingzhou?"

Thinking of the letter he wrote to Chen Gong, Chen Xu couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart.

In the past, as a Yellow Turban Army, he was scolded as a thief, so it was naturally difficult to recruit Chen Gong. But now, he is the pastor of the state, and he was named the Marquis of Jinyang, leading the military rank of general of the north.

Today, he owns two counties. In time, the entire state will be in his pocket.

The change of identity and status made Chen Xu have the mind and confidence to recruit Chen Gong.

"Lord, lord!"

Chen Xu was in a daze, and suddenly heard someone calling him, he looked up, only to find that Gao Shun, who was fully armed, walked in.

Seeing Gao Shun, Chen Xu showed a gentle smile on his face.

Gao Shun his people. Calm, polite and knowledgeable, he is a rare general under Chen Xu's account.

The current trapped camp has not yet been on the battlefield. Therefore, Chen Xu took the state this time, so he did not let him become the commander of the first army.

But Chen Xu's attention to Gao Shun is no less than that of Zhao Yun.

"Yanzheng, you used to be Taishan collapsed in front of you and your face did not change, why are you so panicked today?"

When Gao Shun heard this, his face turned slightly red.

He is a bit of a man by nature, and he is not easy to speak.

Coupled with the fact that he governs the army strictly, this is very majestic. The sergeants and soldiers were very in awe of him.

"Lord, I ......"

He originally wanted to recommend Zhang Liao, but when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't say anything.

As if feeling Gao Shun's entanglement, Chen Xu stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and said encouragingly: "Solemn, there is something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" ”

Gao Shun felt that Chen Xu's care and trust in him warmed his heart.

He knelt on the ground and said, "Lord, although Zhang Wenyuan is my best friend, if he doesn't have real talent and learning, he won't highly recommend it to my lord." ”

"It's been three days since Wen Yuan came to Jinyang, I don't know when the lord will be able to go to see him?"

After speaking, Gao Shun raised his head and looked at Chen Xu with blank eyes.

Chen Xu, Tian Feng and Cheng Yu glanced at each other, and all three of them smiled slightly.

Even if there is no recommendation from Gao Shun, there is no historical knowledge of Chen Xu. Just by relying on Zhang Liao's performance in Mayi, you can also see his extraordinary talent.

For everything about Zhang Liao, Chen Xu has been paying close attention.

But as Cheng Yu said, Zhang Liao's young ambition needs to be polished well in order to achieve great things. Therefore, Chen Xu only dried Zhang Liao for three days.

Now, the food in my hands is almost processed.

It's time for Chen Xu to take a look, this famous general who has left a great name in history.

With a slap on his forehead, Chen Xu helped Gao Shun up, and said deliberately: "These **** have been very busy, so they snubbed Wen Yuan, it's my fault, it's my fault!" ”

Holding Gao Shun's arm, Chen Xu pulled him and said, "Let's go, let's go see Wenyuan now." ”

When Gao Shun heard this, he was naturally overjoyed. He followed behind Chen Xu and rushed to the courtyard where Zhang Liao was.

Zhang Liao was in the courtyard, walking back and forth restlessly.

On the one hand, he didn't want to rely on Gao Shun's help to be able to enter the newly rising group of Bingzhou.

On the other hand, he was worried that Chen Xu would not look down on him as a general of the defeated army, so he refused to come to summon him.

"You can't live if you do your own evil!"

Thinking of his stupid move, Zhang Liao smiled bitterly.

If he had just started, he would have led thousands of his soldiers to defect to Chen Xu. And not clever words. Now he won't be a prisoner, right?

There was a commotion outside the door, and Chen Xu and Gao Shun came hand in hand.

Looking at Zhang Liao, who was looking at Qi Yu Xuanang, Chen Xu suddenly laughed and said: "I have long heard of Wenyuan's reputation, because I have been busy with affairs these days, so I didn't come to visit Wenyuan, and I ask Wenyuan not to blame." ”

After speaking, Chen Xu bowed down and made a gesture to Zhang Liao.

Seeing this, Zhang Liao was shocked and inexplicable, hurriedly dodged in return, and said: "General Zhengbei has every opportunity, and he can take the time to visit me, the general of the defeated army, and he is already very moved." ”

Chen Xu laughed, then took Zhang Liao's arm and came to the house to talk to him cordially.

The memories of the two lives, coupled with the experience of the southern and northern wars, made what Chen Xu said quite funny and reasonable.

Zhang Liao talked to Chen Xu, and felt more and more that Chen Xu had an extraordinary bearing, and he even felt that he wanted to defect.

"I was loved by the Son of Heaven, and I was appointed as the pastor of the state and led the general of the north. However, it is somewhat difficult for a certain account to have a small number of soldiers and a small number of generals, and it is difficult to gain a foothold in the state. ”

"Wen Yuan is a native of Bingzhou, a young hero, and he used to be engaged in Bingzhou. There is a shortage of talents like Wen Yuan in our army, I wonder if Wen Yuan can come to our army to succumb? ”

As the two talked more and more speculatively, Chen Xu finally began to recruit Zhang Liao.

In the past few days, Zhang Liao's arrogance has already been worn out a lot, and when he heard Chen Xu's solicitation, he naturally didn't dare to take it.

He knelt on the ground and said loudly: "A certain is the general of the defeated army, General Meng will not give up, and he will bend down to recruit him, Zhang Liao dare not obey his orders?" ”

Then he knocked on the ground with his forehead and said, "Liao, I've seen the lord!" ”
