The portable magic tower of the Three Kingdoms

He is Captain Polu, strictly speaking, he is a captain with a miscellaneous number, but he also has a salary of a thousand shi.In an era of low food production, money is not as valuable as food.The salary of one thousand shi, sold according to the current age, is about 220 to [-] guan.It turned out that four bottles of wine covered most of his income for more than half a year, so he was a little scared.

"Could it be that this is fairy wine?" Zou Jing was a little dissatisfied. Each of the four bottles of wine weighed about a catty, and it cost thirty guan for just this!

"It is said that it was raised to this price because of the small production volume." The entourage quickly replied, "This wine will have to be cellared for a period of time after it is brewed. It is said that it was brewed at the beginning. It was too hot and the taste was not good. Cellar for three months. The anger has subsided slightly, and it is barely drinkable. These four bottles have been stored for six months, and the anger is minimal. As for the ones that have been stored for one year...there is no one yet."

"So that's how it is...Come, let's try how good this wine is!" Hearing this, Zou Jing was also a little eager to try it.After all, it was given by someone else, no money... Think about it wrong, why did the other party give me these wines?

"Who brought these wines?" Zou Jing asked hastily.

"It's the Patriarch of the Zhang Family in Zhuoxian County. He came here with Liu Tao. He said that he sent it to the general to clean up the dust according to his elder brother's orders." The entourage quickly replied.

"Brother?" Zou Jing frowned upon hearing this.

"It's Liu Tao. My subordinates have inquired about it. It seems that Liu Tao and the owner of the Zhang family are sworn brothers." The entourage replied immediately.

"Oh, it's from Liu Tao..." Zou Jing nodded after hearing this, and then began to drink.If it was given by Liu Tao, it should be because he felt a little embarrassed that he was rejected in the afternoon, so he sent these wines to make amends.

The wine is brewed in Zhangjiazhuang, so the cost is naturally not that high, but the value of this stuff is terrible outside, thirty bottles a bottle!

After drinking a glass of wine, I feel that the wine is extremely mellow. At the same time, a wave of heat slowly rises in the abdomen, flowing through the limbs and bones. It is indescribably comfortable. It seems that the exhaustion accumulated after several days of traveling has dissipated a lot .

"Good stuff..." Looking at the wine, Zou Jing couldn't help but sigh with emotion, but he just wanted to drink again after drinking it, and he really couldn't afford it.Is there any way to drink this wine all the time?

It is impossible to ask the Zhang family to donate the recipe for wine making, or to occupy the Zhang family's winery.If he could really do that, it wouldn't be his turn. With so many high-ranking families in Zhuo County, I'm afraid they would have done it long ago.

"No, if Liu Tao is really talented, he can't take advantage of others!" Zou Jing drank another glass of wine, and immediately made up his mind.There is only one premise, that is, Liu Tao must be a real talent, otherwise many things will not work well.

So in the early morning of the next day, on the one hand, he ordered his entourage to post a public list in Zhuo County to recruit troops, on the other hand, he went directly to Zhuangzi of the Zhang family outside the city.From a distance, you can hear the sound of shouts, which should be the sound of soldiers practicing.

"Only with this momentum, you are an elite soldier!" Zou Jing was also the leader of the army, and when he heard the voice, the soldiers were full of fighting spirit, and he knew that the soldiers were elite enough.Curious and wanted to approach, but was stopped by the soldiers on duty outside.

"Military important place, don't enter unless you have one!" The soldiers in charge of the guard didn't know who was coming, they only knew that there was an order from above to let one in, and they packed up and left.

"I am Zou Jing, Captain Polu, you dare to stop me?" Zou Jing frowned.

"This... I'm sorry, there is an explanation from above, no one is allowed to enter..." the two soldiers said quickly.

"It's interesting. Could it be that Xiliuying is still here?" Zou Jing was not angry when he heard this, but became more curious.

Chapter 30

In the end Zou Jing waited until the soldiers entered the barracks and called Liu Tao before he was allowed to enter the barracks.

"Is this militia group really only training for more than ten days?" Zou Jing looked at Liu Tao, he didn't mean to blame, he was mainly curious.

"It's true that they only trained for more than ten days, and the soldiers on duty outside were dispatched from the supply unit." Liu Tao didn't know what Zou Jing meant, so he replied truthfully, "I just ordered that if you dare to let people in , then they will get out of the barracks for me... The soldiers in the supply unit are all refugees who have escaped from the disaster, and if they leave the barracks, they may lose their livelihood."

He didn't even think about fleeing, but Zhang Jiao suddenly rebelled, and if he didn't escape, he would be coerced into the Yellow Turban Bandit.

Most people had no intention of rebelling, and had no choice but to escape in the end. They fled in a panic. They didn’t bring a lot of things with them. Many people would know nothing except farming. If Liu Tao hadn’t taken them in, they wouldn’t even know how to survive in Zhuo County. .

That is to say, 'drive out of the barracks' is almost equivalent to the concept of 'can't survive'.

"So that's the case. No wonder he was a little scared, but still insisted on waiting for you to come over..." Zou Jing nodded, admiring Liu Tao at the same time.This method is actually used to make refugees who have only joined the army for more than ten days become like elite soldiers prohibited by law.

It's very similar, at least it feels like this, but in fact the level of training is still too low, or there is no combat effectiveness at all.

"Soldiers are hurrying to train, so we can only arrange the heavy soldiers who don't have much training to take on the duty. Thanks to the fact that Zhuo County is still safe, otherwise I really wouldn't dare to do that." Liu Tao shook his head.

Zhanbing has three meals a day, and there is also meat, which is already too much for the Zhang family.It is really impossible to support a thousand heavy soldiers. They can only eat two meals a day, and there is almost no meat.It's just that the training is a small exercise every five days, and a big exercise every ten days. There are only three meals a day on the day of the exercise, and there is not much physical training in normal times.

"I used to be very curious about your militia, but now I'm even more curious!" Zou Jing said with a smile, "All the heavy soldiers are like this, so how about the soldiers, this school captain wants to have a closer look at them."

"The front is right, the general just check it out!" Liu Tao knew that if Zou Jing was not satisfied, he would not go back.

Before going out to meet Zou Jing, Liu Tao had already ordered the large troops to stop their drills and wait in line.Zhang Fei and the others have also arranged their appearances, holding their own exclusive weapons, and waiting here... well, just like the future generations greet their leaders.

When Zou Jing came over, he saw 50 soldiers lined up neatly waiting here.The phalanx was neat and tidy, and all the soldiers were full of fighting spirit and full of energy. If it wasn't for the crude equipment, he would have doubted that this was an elite team.

"A elite soldier, this is an elite soldier!" Zou Jing suddenly felt emotional.

"General Miao Zan, this army is just a superficial one at the moment, and it has barely fought a small battle to accumulate some experience. It will really take three or four battles to become an elite soldier, and it will take a real big battle." Liu Tao hurriedly replied.

"Oh, have you fought a battle before?" Zou Jing obviously realized the important point.

"Speaking of which, it's not actually a war..." Liu Tao immediately told the truth about the situation of Zhang Da and Wang Er, that yellow scarf bandit at that time. Of course, he must highlight Zhang Fei's bravery and Guan Yu's wit.

When Zou Jing heard this, he couldn't help but look at the two of them.At first glance, it was indeed Guan Yu. After all, the height of nine feet was too conspicuous, especially the big knife beside him, which gave people a sense of oppression, and he thought he couldn't play well. Only a person of Guan Yu's stature could probably dance.

Then there was Zhang Fei, who looked young at first glance, but tough at the second. He also held a strange looking weapon in his hand, which looked like a spear, but the spear head was a bit long and snake-shaped.The overall impression is that he is a fierce general!

Speaking of which, Zhang Fei seems to be the head of the Zhang family, Liu Tao's sworn brother...

Beside them, there were two young soldiers who seemed to be mid-level officers.The energy and spirit are quite good, as far as warriors are concerned, they seem to have two strokes.

To be honest, at this moment Zou Jing was a little envious of Liu Tao. If he didn't pull up a militia, the soldiers were so elite, and the leaders of key militias, one or two seemed very unusual.God knows, where did he get so many fierce men? !

"When you said that you would refuse to be the Sima of another department, I was actually somewhat unwilling..." Zou Jing looked at Liu Tao.

"Tao has the high hopes of failing the general." Liu Tao hastily apologized, at this time anyway, he just needs to admit his mistake.

"Sure enough, such an elite army makes people reluctant to give up... especially you, you are more valuable!" Zou Jing looked at Liu Tao, "Elite soldiers can be trained slowly, but recruits can be trained so quickly It’s hard to find generals!”

After a pause, I formally extended the invitation: "Liu Tao, I am willing to write to Inspector Liu to recruit you as Sima of another department. At the same time, I propose to send you to lead the army to Jizhou for support. What do you think?"

The reason why Liu Tao rejected him was that he promised Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang to send them back.At the same time, I also hope that I can join forces with Lu Zhi.Now that Zou Jing made this proposal, the excuse Liu Tao made before can no longer be used.

Unless he gives a better excuse, otherwise, Zou Jing will be angry... No, no, no, no matter what excuse he uses now, as long as he dares to refuse, Zou Jing will be very angry!

How could Liu Tao not know this, let alone Lu Yan who was not far away had quickly hinted that he would agree.

"Thanks to the general's love, Tao is willing to do his best!" Liu Tao could only obediently agree.

"Okay, okay!" Zou Jing was overjoyed when he heard the words, "Today I will send people out to set up a conscription list. In a day or two at most, recruits from other counties will come one after another. I hope you can help me train them."

"According to the situation on our side?" Liu Tao asked tentatively, "The general doesn't know something. In order to form combat power as soon as possible, we eat three meals a day, and there must be meat for dinner..."

"This..." Zou Jing didn't dare to agree when he heard the words, after all, food can't be squandered like this.There are 5000 recruits recruited this time. If this standard is followed, it is estimated that the Yellow Turban Bandits have not come yet, and they will already be poor.

After weighing it up, he asked: "According to the general practice, there is a small exercise every five days, a big exercise every ten days, two meals a day, and three meals on the day of the exercise, and try to have meat on that day, is it possible?"

"If you want to quickly form combat power, at least three days and one small drill!" Liu Tao shook his head. Of course, he also knew that the training plan given by Zou Jing was already at the level of elite soldiers. Qi Jiguang trained according to this standard in his memory. is really strong.

On the side of the big man, especially the army of the non-frontier army.Liu Tao didn't know about other places, so he said that in Zhuo County, one meal a day, one small exercise every ten days, two meals a day; one big exercise a month, three meals a day, that's all!

The saved food was exchanged for money, and most of it fell into the pocket of the county lieutenant, and a small part fell into the pockets of his deputy to subsidize the family.If it is necessary to ensure that the soldiers have a certain combat effectiveness, maybe there is no need for training, and it is enough for the soldiers to eat a meal every day and hang their lives.

"That way there will be no meat!" Zou Jing also offered conditions.
