Until he sat down, Cheng Feng still felt like he was dreaming. Guo Jia, the top strategist of the Three Kingdoms, was now sitting next to him, and on the other side was the famous Xu Shu Xu Yuanzhi! This made Cheng Feng extremely happy. Ever since the two of them entered the door, the smile on Cheng Feng's face had not stopped. Cheng Feng secretly looked at the two of them and saw that Xu Shu was wearing commoners and was tall, especially with thick and powerful arms. It seemed that Xu Shu loved fencing! On the other side, Guo Jia is dressed even more casually. He wears a hat that is not upright, and hangs a wine bottle on his waist. At first glance, he looks like a drinker all year round. His eyes are shining, which means he is leaner! The two of them were also wondering, what does this kid mean when he keeps laughing at us! Are there flowers on our faces? Seeing Feng Xiao, the two of them couldn't make a sad face, they could only laugh awkwardly, just when Guo Jia wanted to find a topic!

"Brother, lord!" Several voices came from outside. The two of them looked up hurriedly and saw several young men coming in, all of them handsome and full of energy.

"Haha, Zilong, you guys are here! Sit down quickly!" Several people heard the sound and sat down quickly. Cheng Feng introduced several backbones of Changshan to Guo Jia and Guo Jia in turn, especially Mr. Zhang Zhongjing! The two of them quickly saluted, because this was the main contributor to the typhoid fever last time! The two of them were secretly surprised. Cheng Feng's family was so rich and ruthless. Just looking at their appearance, these people were all excellent generals! Looking at Cheng Feng again, he is courageous, resolute, and always makes people feel like a spring breeze in his conduct. The two looked at each other and nodded secretly. Psychologically, they have begun to accept Cheng Feng, because they just announced their fate, and they can be next to this famous prefect. They are really flattered. After all, they don't have much reputation yet!

"My lord, I wonder who these two gentlemen are?" Zhang Liao was a little puzzled.

"Haha, please introduce yourselves to the two gentlemen!" Cheng Feng said with a smile.

"Your Excellency, Xu Shu, Xu Yuanzhi, I heard that the Grand Administrator was looking for talented people, so I came here from Yingchuan Academy!" Xu Shu said, clasping his fists.

"Haha, the same goes for Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao. Come with Fengxiao!" Guo Jia also said

"Oops! Yingchuan Academy!" Tian Yu exclaimed. It seems that Cheng Feng's recruitment list has taken effect. Judging from Cheng Feng's cheerful look, these two people should not be descendants of aristocratic families.

"We were born in troubled times. Both gentlemen have great talents. Why did they only fall in love with me, Cheng Feng?" Cheng Feng nodded and wondered. After all, these two gentlemen are very famous in history, but they are both famous. Personality.

"To be honest, sir, I am originally a child of a wealthy family. I loved to practice swords and sticks since I was a child. Because I was dissatisfied with the powerful, I took revenge for others and took a life, so I changed my name to Xu Shu. From then on, I made up my mind to become a disciple and seek enlightenment. Although I have learned a lot in this academy. A lot, but I also understand the darkness of the aristocratic family's manipulation of the government. I recently heard that you are very thirsty for talents, Xu Shu is willing to help!" Xu Shu said

"Oh! Then sir, aren't you afraid that I am also from a noble family?" Cheng Feng asked with a smile.

"Your Excellency, you are joking. Although I, Xu Shu, am not good at academics, I still have the ability to recognize people! Ever since your Excellency took office, everything I have done has been putting the people first, establishing schools, and implementing new policies. Everything I have done has been to weaken the foundation. Aristocratic family! So I conclude that you must not be from aristocratic family!" Xu Shu said with a smile

As soon as these words came out, although Zhang He and others felt a little confused, it was obvious that this gentleman still admired his cheap master! "Haha, sir, you are a great talent! I just praise Feng too much. Feng must be worthy of what he has done!" Cheng Feng said with a smile.

"Haha, okay, you are so clear-headed!" Guo Jia laughed loudly, "This statement should come to light!"

"Haha, yes, yes! Drink and do it!" Cheng Feng responded,

When Guo Jia saw several people looking at him, he knew it was his turn to take the stage. He smiled and said, "Guo Jia, Guo Fengxiao. I don't have as much experience as Yuan Zhi. I have been studying in the academy."

Several people were stunned at these words. It was too simple. Only Cheng Feng was still smiling. Others didn't know it, but he knew it because it was recorded in history books that Guo Jiashao was far-sighted. At the end of Han Dynasty, the world will be in chaos. Since he is weak and anonymous, he has close friendship with Yingjun and has no connection with the common people. Therefore, there are many people at that time and no one knows about him, but those who know well are amazing. On the twenty-seventh year of the year, Situ Mansion was established. Translated, it means that he has been making friends with heroes at home, his reputation is not obvious, he has been waiting for the opportunity, and he did not become an official until he was twenty-seven years old. But who is Chengfeng? He is from a later generation, and he is determined to win it for Guo Jiake. "Don't you hear that King Zhuang of Chu did not fly for three years, soared into the sky, and did not sing for three years, then he became a blockbuster! A great talent with filial piety must be a dragon lurking in the abyss!" Cheng Feng said quickly

These words obviously surprised Guo Jia and Guo Jia. It seems that this master is not just lucky. Thinking of this, the two of them saluted and said, "Xu Shu, Guo Jia is willing to follow the lord and work together for a great cause!"

"Oh, please get up quickly!" Cheng Feng almost jumped up with joy. This ancient man must have been too easy to fool. He even tried his best to prepare a lot of words to fool the two of them. That's good, the surprise came too quickly!

"Haha, congratulations, lord, brother!" Zhang Liao and others also laughed.

"Okay, okay, I've won the title of two gentlemen, just like the great ancestor Zhang Liang and Xiao He!" Cheng Feng was really happy from the bottom of his heart, "Okay, okay, come and try this hot pot, it's a must-have!"

The two of them were a little suspicious, what kind of operation was this? Are the monarch and his ministers one family? Although the two of them have never been officials, they have seen those people, who are not hierarchical and have strict regulations on food and clothing. This lord is really unique. However, both of them have unique personalities, especially Guo Jia. What he dislikes the most is all these etiquettes, and what he dislikes the most is the pretentiousness of these officials from aristocratic families! Watching Cheng Feng's behavior, he is getting more and more angry with himself! Xu Shu was not at peace in his heart. After all, he was still carrying a lawsuit over his life!

"Yuan Zhi is a loyal person who stands up for his friends! This bully is bullying and overbearing. He deserves to be killed. If I encounter him, I will kill him too! Yuan Zhi is not wrong. He is a meritorious person and deserves to be rewarded. Where is the fault? It's just Yuan Zhi's fault that he ran away alone after killing someone and left his mother alone at home!" Cheng Feng said.

Xu Shu was a well-known filial son. Historically, he was tricked by Cao Cao because of his old mother. Cheng Feng didn't want to do it again in the future. After all, they had many classmates in Yingchuan. Who knows if there will be someone in the future? Come up with this desperate plan! When Xu Shu heard this, he felt sorry for his old mother and burst into tears on the spot! "Lord, I, alas!" Xu Shu was speechless and could only sigh.

"Zilong, after dinner, you go with Yuan Zhi to fetch the old woman from Chang Shan. You will live here from now on. The world will soon be in chaos, and this is the only pure land left." Yes. We also have Fengxiao’s family, please come too!” Cheng Feng said

"Thank you, lord!" The two of them were sincerely convinced. They came here with enthusiasm, but did not think about the aftermath. Not only did they admire the young lord even more! Got Cheng Feng's order. Guo Jia can still eat and drink freely. After all, his character is here. If you ask him to sit down and chat with you in a serious manner, it will be more uncomfortable than killing him. But Xu Shu can't do it. It's fine if he doesn't mention his old mother, but it's bad if he mentions it. He has experienced the plague. Disaster, I don’t know how the old man is doing, Xu Shu is getting more and more confused the more he thinks about it. This hot pot is tasteless and tasteless!

"It seems that Yuan Zhi misses his mother very much. Zilong, hurry up and fetch the old woman with Yuan Zhi!" Cheng Feng said with a smile.

"yes, Sir"

"Ah! Thank you, Lord!" Xu Shu's recognition of Cheng Feng deepened.

Seeing these two people walking out, several people also stood up, "Congratulations, lord!" Guo Jia said with a smile.

"Oh? What does it mean to be a filial piety?" Cheng Feng pretended to be confused and said.

"The maid Yuan Zhi is extremely filial. What my lord did today really subdued Yuan Zhi!" Guo Jiadao

"Haha!" Cheng Feng said with a smile, "Feng Shi doesn't know!" After saying this, he saw Guo Jia with a mysterious smile. After all, this genius is a master of psychological warfare. Cheng Feng was still a little hairy when he laughed, but Cheng Feng was very thick-skinned and quickly changed the subject. "Come on, come on, bring Du Kang from Zhang Yide's family. Let's have a good drink. When Zilong and the others come back, we can help them catch the wind!"

A few days later, when everyone had made arrangements, Cheng Feng took a few more people to have a drink. He thought to himself that this wine still didn't taste as good as later generations. Should he make some wine? When I think about the current shortage of supplies and food is a necessity, I still can’t bear to make wine! In the past few days, Chengfeng has been holding Guo Jia and Xu Shu together every day to introduce them to the people and things in Changshan. At the same time, he also told them about some future developments. The most important thing is the implementation of Chengfeng's New Deal! After several days of torture, the two of them were completely convinced. This scammer's brain circuit was too big. What they thought and did completely broke their minds. Guo Jia was originally a man with a very big brain, but now after hearing Chang Shan's new policy, he felt that he had underestimated Cheng Feng before!

"Lord? How do you defend these two city walls?" Guo Jia suddenly asked

"Exterior wall defense!" Cheng Feng said carelessly.

"In this case, the battle line is stretched too long, right?" Xu Shu also felt that it was inappropriate.

"Haha, I know what you two are thinking. This outer wall stretches for dozens of miles. If defended across the board, it will indeed take up most of the troops! But even if the enemy comes to attack, they can only fight by climbing on the wall. This is not very good. It's easy!" Cheng Feng said with a smile, seeing Guo Jia frowning all the time, he not only asked, "What's the high opinion of Feng Xiao?"

"It is a taboo for military strategists to extend the battle line too long! If someone attacks the city, and the army is outside the gate, and a surprise attack is made, it is really difficult to defend." Guo Jiadao

"If you keep it for a long time, you will lose it!" Xu Shu sighed.

Everyone in the two soldiers felt that the problem was serious, which forced Cheng Feng to pay attention to it. Tian Yu also said this problem at the beginning. The final solution was to defend the inner city, delay the outer city wall as much as possible, and then use surprise troops to surround the rear and disturb the enemy. Attack the grain road! Thinking of this, Cheng Feng mentioned this idea and the two of them nodded. This is a good idea!

"Haha, the best defense is offense! With my elite Changshan troops, I am not afraid of anyone!" Cheng Xin said with heart.

"Having said that, Changshan is famous now. If Zhang Jiao starts an uprising and hundreds of thousands of believers swarm in, how will we deal with it? There will be no end to the killing!" Xu Shu slowly asked the most serious question. After all, with Zhang Jiao's hatred for Cheng Feng was really possible, and Cheng Feng couldn't help but take a breath of air. He quickly said, "Please sir, teach me."

"When it comes to leading troops to fight, marching and setting up formations, Zhang Jiao and others are not worth mentioning. What needs to be guarded against are these tens of thousands of people. They cannot be killed and cannot be released. This is the most pressing problem!" Xu Shu road

"Haha, Yuan Zhi has forgotten that the people follow in order to survive. If we give them hope of living, will they still follow?" Guo Jia suddenly laughed.

"Well" Cheng Feng felt as if he had caught something, "We have entered a misunderstanding. In any war, what is fought is not the battles on the battlefield, but often things outside the battlefield! It is extremely easy to deal with Zhang Jiao. When the time comes When a large army goes out on an expedition, it can be like a strong wind sweeping away fallen leaves! As long as Changshan is not in chaos and the rear is stable, everything in the world can be conquered!"

"My lord, your arrogance is soaring to the sky!" Guo Jia sighed, "Soldiers are deceitful. Gains and losses do not depend on one city or one place. My lord only needs to guard the inner city and not lose it. Now Changshan is the largest city in Jizhou. It won’t be captured in just a short while!”

"Yes, the victory or defeat of the war is not in the battlefield, but in the people's hearts. Now the people's hearts are with me, and the common people can serve as soldiers throughout the whole process! Don't worry! But I would like to ask these two gentlemen to give me some advice on how to use the troops!" Cheng Feng said

"Yes, lord! We will do our best!"

"Okay, let's talk about it later. Let's train the troops first. Now Changshan has 30,000 elite soldiers and five generals. I also ask these two gentlemen to communicate with them more to improve their combat effectiveness!" Cheng Feng finally made the decision!

Watching the two of them walk away, Cheng Feng secretly thought to himself, as soon as the expert takes action, he will know if there is any! Although this problem is serious, Zhang Jiao is not good enough. The main worry is that when the heroes are divided in the future, I don’t know if there will be time for stable development. It seems that the days of war in the north and south are not far away! Just when Cheng Feng and others were seizing the last opportunity to accumulate strength, something ridiculous happened.

Xiliang refers to the area around Liangzhou, which governs eight counties: Jincheng, Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan, Dunhuang, Xihai, Xiping and Xijun. The territory is vast and the population is indeed small. It has been a place rich in cavalry since ancient times, and Xiliang cavalry is famous all over the world! Nowadays, there are two forces in Xiliang, one is Dong Zhuo and the other is Han Sui. Han Sui just defeated Dong Zhuo a few days ago, and now is the time to be prosperous. However, although Han Sui joined forces with the Qiang people to rebel, he himself was coerced. Now that his reputation was high, he began to have ideas in his heart. Later generations called Han Sui the "Jiuqu Yellow River", which means that in his belly There are too many colorful intestines. Now that I have a hero in my hand and drank some wine, I feel even more elated! "Cheng Yi, call Yang Qiu and the others," Han Sui ordered, "Remember, be careful, don't let others see it."

"Yes!" Although Cheng Yi was confused, he still carried out the order!

After a while, eight people, Liang Xing, Hou Xuan, Cheng Yin, Li Kan, Zhang Heng, Cheng Yi, Ma Wan and Yang Qiu, came to the big tent. These eight people are known as Han Sui's eight generals. He was really brave in battle. He only obeyed Han Sui's orders, and even the rebel commander could not command him! "Commander, I wonder why you called me here late at night?" Liang Xing said, because his lord is thoughtful and cautious, and would not call them late at night without any special reason!

"Look at this," Han Sui said, handing them a letter, "General Zhenxi! Commander, what is this?" Yang Qiu asked

"The surrender letter given by the imperial court stated that as long as I surrender, I will be named General Zhenxi. You can also legitimately become officials of one party!" Han Sui said with a smile.

"Commander, if this is the case, what will we do with these Qiang people!"

"You also know that I was an old official of the Jincheng prefect. I was kidnapped by the Qiang rebels and made me their leader. In order to save my life, I had to join the rebels. But I have always been a Han official, how can I betray my ancestors!" Han Sui said

"But if they want to submit to the imperial court, what will these Qiang people do?"

"Now that we have great power, we can persuade them with good words. If they agree, then it's okay. If they don't, then kill them!" the candidate said with murderous intent.

"Haha, no need to kill!" Han Sui said with a smile, "The rebellion of the Qiang people is all due to lack of food and clothing, and they are forced by life. If we submit now, we will be the generals of the Han Dynasty. I will not let go of these one hundred thousand soldiers. . The Qiang people are skilled in horsemanship and can conquer battles, so they are rare elite soldiers! If they are used by me, if there are changes in the future, they can go straight to Huanglong. Even if they are in trouble, they can still retreat to the Qiang people!"

"But are you afraid that they won't agree?"

"Haha, we invaded Sanfu for food. If we surrender, we will have military pay, and we can legitimately claim the land as king! I think they will agree. There will be a meeting in the hall tomorrow. You can act according to my eyes. If anyone disagrees , kill him directly!" At the end of his sentence, Han Sui was filled with killing intent!

"It's the handsome man!"

Things went surprisingly smoothly, the Qiang people were a little tired after the battle, and Han Sui fooled them, so there was no trouble! Only a few Han leaders wanted to stir up trouble, but Han Sui killed them on the spot. In this way, Han Sui suddenly transformed and became the general of the Han Dynasty Zhenxi. Each of his eight generals received a reward. The rebellion problem in Xiliang was thus solved! When the news came back to Luoyang, Zhang Rang and others were asked to celebrate! At the same time, Han Sui took the opportunity to rob the population of food and settled it in Xiliang. For a time, he and Dong Zhuo became antagonistic! In order to settle the Qiang people, Han Sui organized the Qiang soldiers into personal soldiers and implemented benevolent policies towards the Qiang people who came to surrender!

"Haha, I didn't expect that, with heavy thunder and little rain, Han Sui became the biggest winner!" Xu Shu from Changshan City said with a smile.

"Hmph! This person will definitely cause trouble in the future!" Tian Yu said

"No matter what happens in the future, at least I accept the imperial decree now. It is a relatively good result. At least I don't have to involve too many troops in Xiliang!" Cheng Feng said

"Lord, there is a difference between these words." Zhang He said, "Although Han Sui has surrendered, the soldiers are still in his hands, and the threat to the imperial court is still there! The imperial army will not withdraw easily."

"Haha!" Guo Jia suddenly laughed and continued, "Although General Zhang's words are reasonable, he only knows one but not the other!"

"Oh? I would like to hear your advice, sir!" Zhang He said quickly, because after getting along with each other for a few days, everyone understood that Xu Shu and Guo Jia were not ordinary people.

"Now that Han Sui has surrendered, the prestige of the court has greatly increased, and the morale must have greatly increased. On the contrary, Han Sui has just been named the General of Zhenxi, and he must stay safe in a short period of time, otherwise he will lose military morale. Furthermore, Xiliang also has Dong Zhuo, the Marquis of Xiliang Ah! This man has a tiger-like heart and will definitely not be willing to be suppressed by Han Sui. The two of them will definitely restrain each other! In this way, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court can recuperate and reap the benefits!" Guo Jia said slowly

Several people nodded repeatedly after hearing this, as if that was what happened! "What if the two of them join forces?" Zhao Yun suddenly asked

"Zilong, have you ever seen tigers and wolves sharing their food? Haha" Guo Jia laughed.

"Well! Having said that, everything is possible. If the two people are not equal in power, they will definitely have a dispute. If they are equal, it is hard to say. They may fight to the death, or they may join forces!" Cheng Feng said with a smile.

"Let's see, it will be even more lively in the future! Let's not wade into this muddy water for now. Who will win in the end depends on fate!" Cheng Feng finally laughed, and then several people discussed about Zhang Jiao The problem of Taiping Religion comes
