Chapter 34 Recruiting Soldiers 2

The next day, Liu Xia captured Zhuangzi of a large family surnamed Zhuo who was rich and unkind in Taihe County. After killing the people in Zhuangzi, he opened a warehouse outside Zhuangzi to release grain. As for the county seat of Taihe County, although he got the news, he thought it was a bunch of horse robbers and robbers, and did not report or eliminate them.

In fact, it's not the county magistrate of Taihe County, mainly because they can't organize many soldiers to participate in the war at all. It is said that Liu Xia's army has two or three thousand people. There are less than 500 people in total, and most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled. This is impossible to win.

Anyway, if you don't attack the county, the local county magistrate will turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye. As long as you don't harass me, you can do whatever you want.

After Liu Xia attacked Zhuojiazhuang, he ordered Wang En, the battalion commander of the logistics battalion, to replenish the share of the grain they had eaten along the way, and pulled all the rest to the outside of Zhuojiazhuang and open the warehouse to release grain. Zhuojiazhuang was close to the official road. Naturally, there were many people everywhere, so Liu Xia opened the warehouse to release grain this time, which attracted a lot of people. Liu Xia.

The last time I met the eight people brought back by Mingjun, they have almost recovered their physical strength. Now although they can't be said to be very strong, the yellow and thin appearance has long disappeared.

Now there are eight people, four of whom are divided into the reserve infantry Corps, two are divided into the reserve scout Corps, and two are divided into the reserve archers Corps.

As the battalion commander of the new barracks, Zhang Liang does not directly select soldiers. His task is to manage the new soldiers well. As for the task of recruiting soldiers, it is to be Mr. Mingjun and Wang Shitou to take charge. Liu Xia did this mainly because of Zhang Liang's personality.

As the saying goes, Zhang Liang is a general with some mercy in his heart, but Liu Xia can't withdraw his position. After all, Zhang Liang has a lot of credit these days, but in the face of cruel battles, Liu Xia's heart has always been as cold as ice, and there is no kindness to the enemy.

Zhang Liang's personality is obviously not the same as Liu Xia's, and even often contrary to Liu Xia's opinion. In this case, Liu Xia naturally can't let Zhang Liang stay in the main army. Now he can only drop him into the new barracks. It doesn't matter how kind Zhang Liang is in the new barracks. What Liu Xia wants is to make his own decisions. At that time, don't always show up a guy who shouts kindness.

Some people say that to be kind to the enemy is to be cruel to yourself. Some people may think that in order to repay grievances with virtue, Liu Xia does not agree with this at all. Retribution for grievances with virtue depends on who the object is. Even the thousand-year-old saint, Confucius did not dare to say such "great love" words. Mr. Kong just said, repay grievances directly.

Just like Zhuge Liang's seven capture of Meng Huo, yes, he brought Meng Huo back to his heart, but Zhuge Liang let many soldiers die in these seven battles. Each soldier has his own family, his own children, parents, wife, Zhuge Liang, has thought about these soldiers?

The policy pursued by Liu Xia has always been to reduce the death and injury of the soldiers with the greatest possibility. As long as it is the enemy or the stubborn faction, it will be eliminated. Liu Xia will not let his brothers die on the battlefield for these stubbornness again and again.

Outside Zhuojiabao, the delicious rice porridge cooked in the big pot spread in the air. Thousands of people gathered in front of the gate of Zhuojiabao stared at the big pot with their eyes wide open.

Some of the exiles have even drooled from their mouths. Yes, these people may not have eaten hot meals for dozens of days, two or three months, or even longer. Liu Xia's gift this time will definitely make them grateful.

The exiles did not compete, because there were hundreds of meters of strong soldiers standing in front of them, each with sharp weapons in their hands, which made these exiles line up very honestly, and no one dared to make trouble.

"General, how many people are we recruiting in this group of exiles this time? How many people should be divided into each reserve team? Zhang Liang, the battalion commander of the new barracks, stood behind Liu Xia and asked Liu Xia. At the same time, Niu Chao, who was also the deputy battalion commander of the new barracks, looked unrelevant.

Wang Shitou and Yu Mingjun next to Liu Xia are also looking forward to looking at Liu Xia, because the two of them want to recruit new soldiers, so they naturally have to know what Liu Xia wants!

Liu Xia said, "The number of recruitment depends on how much these exiles are qualified to enter the new barracks. If one is not qualified, then none of them is required. If they are qualified, then they are required.

As for how many people each reserve team can be divided into, it depends on what the recruited recruits are suitable for. If they are smart and good at it, they will enter the scouts. If they can only adapt to ordinary battles, they will first be integrated into the infantry regiment. If they have high aiming and have learned archery before, they will enter. Join the bow and arrow team. However, there is also a bottom line, with infantry accounting for 50%, archers accounting for 30%, and scouts accounting for 20%.

"Yes, General, I understand"

"Well," Liu Xia nodded and said, "Let the soldiers below arrange those exiles, and we will go there later."

Yes, General

The rice porridge in the 50-mouth pot at the gate of Zhuojiabao has been cooked at this time, and the fragrance floats on the tip of the noses of the drifters.

"All line up, line up, don't jump the queue randomly, come one by one, all of them, don't worry!"

......

"You are not allowed to jump the queue, or I won't give it to you!"

......

"These are all our general's gifts to you. You should remember our general's great kindness!"

......

"This is yours. It's ready. Don't spill it!"

......

"Thank you, thank you, military master, it smells so good!"

......

"Master Jun, I've finished my two sips. Can you give me another bowl? I'm not full yet..."

......

"No, no, one bowl for each person, one bowl for each person. There are not many here. You have to let everyone eat some. Just do it first!"

......

"Master Jun, we still have two children over there. My mother is watching. Can you give me more?"

............

"General, when shall we go down?"

As Liu Xia's guard, Wang Shitou is mainly responsible for Liu Xia's security and the arrangement of Liu Xia's next place to go. At this time, there are many senior generals gathered around Liu Xia, and there can't be any difference. Just now, Wang Stone had sent a guard to go down to guard first, just waiting for Liu Xia and others to go down.

Liu Xia looked at the thousands of exiles below and divided into fifty parts. There was a long queue in front of the fifty pots. The faces of the people who got the rice porridge showed a happy smile. The people who didn't get the rice porridge were still lined up anxiously. I'm afraid they were gone.

Liu Xia couldn't help sighing in her heart: "The people in ancient China are the simplest and the best to manage. They can't survive until the end, and they won't rebel. However, those rulers are still constantly exploiting the people, which is so angry that the people can't live, so that they are officials. Forced. People. On the contrary, in the end, the country will be lost, and the people will not be able to survive. Instead, it cheaped those outside the Tahs, and finally let them get the world, alas..."

"General, what are you talking about?"

Wang Shitou beside him was the closest to Liu Xia, but he didn't hear it clearly, so he asked.

Liu Xia sighed and shook her head.

"Nothing. Let's wait and wait for the people below to distribute the rice porridge to the exiles. After they have eaten, let's go down."

"Yes, General, I'll send someone to let them distribute it quickly"

Wang Shitou said.

Liu Xia quickly shook her head and said to Wang Shitou, who was about to get up and go, "No, we don't need to be in such a hurry."

............

From time to time, there is no scorching sun in the sunny sky, and dark gray flowing clouds fly through the sky from time to time. Obviously, this is a harbinger of rain. The cool breeze has blown. The fifty cauldron outside Zhaojiabao has been put away by this time, and the exiles have already finished eating. They stared at the fifty cauldrons and were carried away one by one.

The cauldron is for cooking for them, and now it has been carried away, that is to say, the general will not relieve them in the future.

What! No more relief for us! Then how should we live in the future! No, let's beg the general and let him support us all the time. Yes, let's beg the general!

There is a constant discussion in the crowd of people. Now the more they talk, the more excited they are. Some people even think that Liu Xia owes them, so they should provide them with big fish and meat every day and raise them well. However, this kind of psychology is a very small part. Those who have this idea are those rich and noble families in the past. Or a hooligan who has nothing to do all day long, most of the exiles still want to beg Liu Xia well and ask Liu Xia to give them a mouthful of food.

At the same time, some soldiers set up a high platform at the door outside Zhaojiabao. The exiles didn't know what to do. Now they want to see the general and let Liu Xia show mercy and not cut off their rations.

However, it is unrealistic to keep their rations. Although there is a lot of grain in Zhuojiabao, Liu Xia took part of it and then boiled a large jar of ordinary rice for them, which is only half. If she wants to supply them all the time, Liu Xia will not take out her reserves, but this is impossible.

Even if Liu Xia takes it out, she can't eat it for a few days.

At this time, Liu Xia saw that most of the exiles had eaten, and the high platform was also set up, so she said to Wang Shitou, "Stone, I want to go down. You can arrange it first."

"Yes, General"

Wang Shitou said.

......

"Make way, get out of the way, get out of the way"

All the soldiers of the Guards began to take action. Liu Xia's safety was the highest, and there were not too many members of the Guards. Except for arranging some guards for each squadron leader and above, Wang Shitou did not really manage too much.

Therefore, as another heavy force, the special brigade has a task to assist the Guards to control the scene and not allow those exiles to approach Liu Xia and other generals.
