Get the trap system at the beginning and unify the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 67 Another Plan

"Doubling is the foundation, you can get as much as you want," Gao Shun added.

"No, doubling it is enough." Zhang Cai replied, then walked to the place where the silver was distributed and said, "Bring me 48 taels."

"Yes, yes." The soldiers hurriedly delivered them, hesitated to speak, and finally couldn't help but said: "Zhang Sima, your family..."

"Joined the army, became a soldier, how can you care about this and that?" Zhang Cai replied simply, and then walked back to the queue without looking sideways.

The originally neat queue was no longer a formation, it was scattered, but he still found his place and stood there, just like Gao Shun, standing straight.

Even if people around him came and went, they all cast surprised glances at him, even though there were not many people left behind.

But he pretended not to see it, and stared straight ahead.

Gao Shun breathed a sigh of relief.

As the general of the army and the leader of the camp, he naturally hoped that Zhang Cai, his right-hand man, could follow him to Xudu, including the places he would go in the future. Zhang Cai had always been an important part of his plan.

With Zhang Cai, many things are much more convenient. He doesn't need to cover everything, and he can rest assured to leave it to Zhang Cai.

Moreover, when he arrived in Xudu, he had to be busy with other things, so Zhang Cai's role became more and more important.

If he was more ruthless, he should directly recruit Zhang Cai by force.

But whether it was because of Zhang Cai's relatives or Zhang Cai's mother-in-law's dissatisfaction with him last time, he couldn't do such a thing, so he could only give Zhang Cai a choice, let Zhang Cai choose by himself, and choose the next one. road.

Now Zhang Cai has made a choice, and it is the choice he wants, but there is always some guilt in his heart.

However, he would not even do such a stupid thing as persuading Zhang Cai not to follow him.

Gao Shun stared at Zhang Cai, as if he was looking at him. Although he was separated by some distance, he could still see the complicated expression on Zhang Cai's face.

It is conceivable that it was difficult for this man who seemed to be determined just now to make this decision.

Gao Shun looked at the fragmented queue again.

In the queue, only a few people remained standing still, and more people walked past him.

And this small number of people is getting smaller and smaller, leaving only a few dozen people.

Gao Shun hardly knew these dozens of people, or he had only met a few times and left no impression, but he could remember one.

Chen Fu, the one who defeated Tan Liu in the competition, was also one of the few who became the first level [-] trapped soldiers.

But he stood there motionless, with a low face, making it difficult for people to see his expression clearly.

Chen Fu is standing straight now, just like in training, but his heart is extremely complicated.

He is Dubo, with fifty people under his command, who is an important grassroots force in this camp.

And he fought bravely - this is not his bragging, he killed nearly twenty bandits in just two battles.

Not to mention that he defeated Tan Liu in the previous competition, and won five consecutive battles, winning to the end.

It can be said that his status in this army can be ranked in the top twenty.

But no matter whether it was Tan Liu, who was pulling people, or other people who had already received their military pay, they didn't come to persuade him.

There is a reason.

They all knew about Chen Fu's family situation, or in other words, everyone in the camp except Gao Shun knew about it.

Because in the town, there are many people who have been soldiers and escaped from the army, such as Zhang Cai.

Chen Fu had never been a soldier, nor was he a deserter.

But his father is a soldier, a veteran, and a small leader who manages dozens or hundreds of people.

It was precisely because he was a soldier that his father died on the battlefield.

When he was just born, his father was conscripted to join the army, and he didn't see his father for the first time until he was ten years old.

But they only met once, and after less than half a month of meeting, they set foot on the battlefield again, and never saw each other again.

Therefore, he understands the feeling of separation and the pain of not being able to see each other for a long time even though his relatives are still alive.

Now, he already has a family, his mother, his wife, and his son are all together.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't make a good living and his family's life was difficult, he wouldn't have stood up when Gao Shun was conscription.

Originally, I said that I was lucky, thinking that I would recruit soldiers at the door of my house, so I shouldn't run around.

It seemed to be the case at the beginning, either training or banditry, never being too far away.

When Gao Shun said that he was going to Xudu, Xudu thousands of miles away, and the time to leave home was to be determined, his heart sank.

If he joined the army at the beginning, it was for a little settling expenses, for food, for possible military pay, then when he was in the army, he simply wanted to be loyal to Gao Shun.

However, now he is faced with the difficult choice of being loyal to Gao Shun and supporting his relatives.

He is different from Zhang Cai. There is no elderly in Zhang Cai's family, his wife is in her prime, and her two sons are about to grow up. Even if Zhang Cai is gone, they can take care of themselves and support themselves.

But the old mother in Chen Fu's family was blinded by crying because of his father's death, and he and his mother-in-law took care of him.But his mother-in-law burned her head because of a high fever before, so she is sometimes stupid.My son has just turned six years old and doesn't understand anything.

He can leave for a short time, just this time, he only left for a month, and he went back twice in the middle, so it's not a big deal.

But once they have been away from home for a long time, and those who will not be able to stay home for three to five years, even if they leave all the military salary, they don't feel at ease.

It's not that he doesn't worry about being bullied by the neighbors, but simply worried that the three of them can't even take care of the most basic life.

If during this period, something happened...

Chen Fu closed his eyes in pain.

Even, at this time, he thought of his father who had been dead for many years.

In his vague memory, when he was ten years old, his father came back and stayed for a while, teaching him martial arts and broadswords, that was the happiest time for him.

He still remembers his mother's red eyes and hoarse voice when his father was recruited by the army again to go to war.

And the old man held his shoulders, with a resolute face, and said to him earnestly: Take good care of his mother.

This sentence has been in his mind, before and now.

A tear fell from the corner of his eye and was wiped away by him.

Chen Fu opened his eyes, bloodshot eyes appeared in his eyes, and his eyes fell on Gao Shun who was not far away, extremely firm.

I'm sorry General, I can't, I have family and they can't live without me.

Gao Shun naturally felt Chen Fu's gaze.

A mysterious feeling, when he was observing others, he felt that someone was watching him.

Why look at him?Gao Shun shook his head slightly.

Looking at this trend, most of those people will not come forward, and they will not be able to follow him to Xudu.

Sighing slightly, Gao Shun turned his attention to the newly recruited one hundred young men, who were already eager to try.

Most of these people are young people or just adults, all in their teens and early 20s.

This means that their attachment to home is not as deep, or as deep as that of other age groups.

They have not yet married, and their parents are in their prime, so they don't have to bear the burden of taking care of the family at all, and do what they want to do.

Therefore, they didn't have any fear of following Gao Shun, but were full of curiosity and longing.

Although these one hundred people just arrived, they didn't enjoy any benefits of the army - except the one meal they ate yesterday, but Gao Shun still felt that at least half of them would follow him.

Wait, it seems that another plan can be implemented, Gao Shun suddenly thought.

He recruited these [-] people, on the one hand, to make up for the losses in the two battles, to make up [-] people, and on the other hand, to train temporarily for a few days, and take them up the mountain to Fang San, or stationed on Yuyang Mountain.

Now it seems that these people want to follow him, so why not exchange the soldiers who were originally trapped in the camp and can't stay too far from home for various reasons?

Let them go to Xudu with Gao Shun, and let those who stay behind be stationed on Yuyang Mountain.

In this way, they can not quit the army and take care of their loved ones, but they may not be able to be with their loved ones all the time.

It's good enough though, and should satisfy their needs.

The more Gao Shun thought about it, the more he felt that it was feasible, but it was a pity.

These soldiers stationed on Yuyang Mountain can enjoy the effect of his trapping the camp, but they also lose a lot of opportunities to kill the enemy on the battlefield to make themselves stronger.

And it also wasted thirty or forty quotas of the trapping system, but there was no other way, and it was not unacceptable that there would be gains and losses.

As for this plan, he did not go to Zhang Cai to discuss it.

If it was before, he must have discussed it with Zhang Cai, but he left a matter of Fang San on Yuyang Mountain, and Zhang Cai didn't know about it.

It's not that he's afraid of Zhang Cai's second thoughts, it's just to reduce unnecessary troubles.

After all, he is Cao Cao's subordinate now, and he is still the general of the big man. He is an official of the big man and receives the military salary of the big man.

As long as the big man is alive, he will be the general of the big man.

This is not what he thinks in his heart, but what his soldiers see.

In their view, Gao Shun was an official of the imperial court, and they were soldiers of the imperial court.

So how could a person loyal to the court secretly keep bandits behind and develop his power?

It's better to keep this kind of thing in secret. Except for the person involved, the fewer people who know about it, the safer it is.

Gao Shun was thinking in his heart that the matter of leading the army's salary was over.

Looking around, the two queues that were originally divided into recruits and veterans have been divided into three.

The recruits, the veterans who went to Xudu with him, and the veterans who stayed in Xiapi.

It's not that those veterans who don't go with him are squeezed out by others, this kind of thing doesn't happen at all in the camp.

All because they walked out of the queue automatically, as if they didn't have the dignity to be with other people.

Thirty or forty people also stood in a neat line. Chen Fu, who was at the front, looked forward with his head held high.

"Now, it should be like this." Gao Shun cleared his throat and said.

No one answered him, not because they didn't know, but because no one wanted to.

"Well, there is one more thing now." Gao Shun walked to one side and stood in front of the recruits: "You guys, does anyone want to go to Xudu with me? Raise your hand."

As he expected, countless arms were raised in unison, but there were definitely not a hundred of them, but he couldn't see who didn't raise them.

So Gao Shun put it another way: "Is there anyone who doesn't want to go? Come out."

There was no movement at first, then someone came out and stood beside Chen Fu.

If there is one, there will be two, and if there are two, there will be more. A series of people came out, and suddenly, the team of recruits was much smaller.

"Think about it all." Gao Shun's eyes slowly swept over and said to the remaining recruits: "Because you are recruits, just like ordinary soldiers, you will receive your settlement allowance and half a year's military pay."

As soon as he said this, a hula-la crowd surrounded him, most of them were young men, their eyes gleamed and they jumped at him while they were still talking.

"Don't squeeze me, don't squeeze me!"

"Hey Ergou, don't grab mine, it's mine!"

"Come over, don't squeeze."

Looking at a group of energetic young people, Gao Shun smiled slightly, then turned to look at the dozens of people standing alone.

Counting carefully, there are more than 80, half of them are veterans and half are recruits.

This is also just right, when he came down from Yuyang Mountain before, he saw 684 people on the system, plus 80 recruits, and after deducting the 700 people in front of him, there were just about [-] people left, the quota of the system.

But it's useless to just screen them out. To implement the plan, he must personally and carefully instruct.

"How many of you people are from the past, Du Bo?"

A few people stood up, and the leader was Chen Fu.

"Zhang Sima, you manage them first, let them leave after receiving their military pay, and then take them to training or something, it's up to you to arrange, and put the rest of the money in the treasury."

Gao Shun asked Zhang Caidao. After getting Zhang Cai's reply, he said to the few people who stood up: "Follow me."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the conference room, leaving a few people looking at each other.

"What is the general calling us?" A senior named Li Yuan asked doubtfully.

"Maybe he wants to scold us?" Another senior named Bao Quan said, but he was not even sure what he said.

"Why are you scolding us for going to the conference room instead of now?" Li Yuan obviously didn't believe it, and asked back.

Bao Quan blushed a little when Li Yuan retorted, but he didn't want to be outdone and said, "Why don't you know if the general is saving face for us and doesn't want to scold us in front of so many people? The general is kind, don't you know?" ?”

"Then why only a few of us? The others stopped scolding?" Li Yuan asked again.

"Okay, just do what the general says." Chen Fu said in a deep voice, and followed after speaking.

The others looked at each other and followed.

Chen Fu is Du Bo, and there are two Du Bos among them. It's not that Chen Fu must obey, but now several people can't make up their minds, so it's better to just listen to Chen Fu and follow Gao Shun.

It should be some scolding, at most a few beatings.Someone thought.

After all, Gao Shun had already said in front of so many people that no matter what choices they made, he would not blame such words, and he would definitely not backtrack.
