The Three Kingdoms: I can't be a counselor, so I have to divide the world into four parts

"I heard it clearly! I heard it clearly!"

The two bandit leaders were knocked unconscious and hurriedly agreed.

Fu Tong stood up and said:

"Since you heard it clearly, go back to the camp and train well."

"For those who died, I, Fu Tong, will pay for the compensation."

"But if there is a next time--"

Fu Tong said halfway and stared at them viciously.

"Don't blame me for not remembering the old friendship!"

The two bandits were so scared that their hair stood on end, and they quickly promised that there would be no next time.

After the matter was handled, Fu Tong walked into the meeting room and apologized to Tang Jian.

Tang Jian waved his hand and smiled:

"This is what was expected, no need to apologize."

"It's just that there are some contradictions, and they can't be suppressed all the time, just like abscesses."

"It's better to let it get inflamed and then squeeze out the pus, so that you can recover quickly."

After listening, Fu Tong also nodded and agreed with Tang Jian's point of view.

Tang Jian added: "Oh, Captain Fu, we now have several thousand men under our command, and this mercenary group is officially established."

"For the convenience of management, we need to clarify the hierarchy."

"At present, I have roughly drawn up the first list of captains and instructors. You can come and see if there are any omissions."

After listening to this, Fu Tong felt that Tang Jian was far-sighted and well-organized.

He is a man who can really do great things.

So he hurried over to take a look.

The list said that Tang Jian took the position of the head of the group and was called "sir".

Fu Tong was the chief instructor.

The rest of the capable leaders were captains.

As for the thirty people Gan Ning sent to Tang Jian, they were the guards and received the same treatment as the captain.

Then the salary was different according to the position.

After reading it, Fu Tong was shocked.

If he had understood this management method at the beginning, his water fort would have been even stronger.

After agreeing on the system, Tang Jian discussed the military merit reward system with Fu Tong. In fact, it was mostly Tang Jian who was talking, and Fu Tong was responsible for nodding.

Finally, Tang Jian asked about the equipment in the camp.

Fu Tong replied: "At present, there are more than 120 large and small ships in the camp, most of which are small boats, which can only be used to rob the river, not for fighting."

"If you need to fight, you must build a special rammed earth ship for water combat."

"In addition, weapons are also in short supply in the camp, and the county magistrate does not allow us to purchase weapons, so we can only purchase some pig iron and leather, and ask craftsmen to make weapons and protective gear."

"Also, there are only three war horses in the camp. If you want to form a cavalry, you need to buy war horses."

Warships, pig iron, leather, war horses...

Tang Jian felt a headache after hearing this.

Cao Cao has already gone south, and the Battle of Chibi is about to begin.

If he wants to make money in this war, he must solve these problems and pull out a decent team.

Then, Sun Quan would be able to hire himself.

However, the local county magistrate did not allow local merchants to sell leather, wood, and pig iron to Tang Jian for the sake of public security.

These are also in short supply, and many of them are controlled by the court and local governments. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy them.

Tang Jian tapped his head with his knuckles and asked Fu Tong:

"Then... where can I buy these things?"

Fu Tong replied: "Only the Lujiang Qiao family has the channels to obtain these things."

"Lujiang Qiao family?"

Tang Jian searched the memory in his mind:

"Then this Qiao family has two beauties, one married to Sun Bofu and the other married to Zhou Yu?"

Fu Tong replied: "Yes, it is this Qiao family."

"I used to rob on the river and often encountered the Qiao family moving goods on the river, so I know."

After listening, Tang Jian leaned back and said: "If this is true, then I understand."

After all, Qiao Guolao of the Qiao family is the father-in-law of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu. Their family is engaged in business and moving goods, and no matter which road people are on, they will not give face.

After all, touching the Qiao family is equivalent to provoking Zhou Yu.

Therefore, the Qiao family does have the ability to get these scarce goods.

However, Cao Cao has already gone south, and the war is imminent. This kind of scarce strategic materials will soon be strictly controlled. At that time, even the Qiao family will find it difficult to secretly resell the materials under strict control.

Therefore, Tang Jian must rush to Lujiang as soon as possible to buy enough materials to arm his army.

After making up his mind, Tang Jian gave Fu Tong his first order as the head of the mercenary group:

"Master Fu, from now on, you will be responsible for the daily training of the garrison and dispatch everything."

"I have to go to Lujiang to buy everything we need. It's not better than others, but we still have to have the necessary equipment, otherwise the army will have no battle.Fighting power. "

After hearing this, Fu Tong nodded and said: "Don't worry, sir. With me here, this garrison will not be in chaos."

After Tang Jian explained to Fu Tong, he packed up his things that day, took 30 guards, took gold and silver, and sailed out of the Yangtze River from the water fort on a sailboat.

Not long after walking, Fu Tong caught up with him in a small boat.

Then he told Tang Jian that he brought two people, one who was familiar with shipping goods on the water and the other who was familiar with the Qiao family's dock, who could help Tang Jian contact the Qiao family's channels as soon as possible.

Tang Jian asked the two to get on the boat, and the sailors pulled up the sails, ruddered, and the sailboat headed towards Lujiang.

Fu Tong stood on the boat and watched Tang Jian's sailboat go away with the wind.

He couldn't help but say to his subordinates behind him with emotion:

"Did you see it?"

"My lord, for our common future, worked tirelessly and fought for every minute."

"In the future, you must take my lord as a role model and work hard! "

The sailors were also moved and looked at the direction where the sailboat left for a long time.

Chaisang.

This is Zhou Yu's naval base.

There are many water strongholds on the river, and warships are coming and going.

There are hidden stakes and mazes between the stronghold and the waterway.

Bows and crossbows are everywhere.

It can be said that the defense is tight and solid.

This shows how strong Zhou Yu is in naval warfare.

A large flag with the word Zhou was blown by the river wind and fluttered slowly.

Zhou Yu, wearing a white robe, walked down the water stronghold dock to meet Lu Su who had just got off the boat.

"Zi Jing, you and I haven't seen each other for a long time."

Zhou Yu held a feather fan and bowed on the shore.

Lu Su bowed and walked towards Zhou Yu, saying:

"It's been a long time since I last saw you, and the governor is still as heroic as ever. "

The two laughed, exchanged greetings, went up the stairs, and sat down in the main tent.

The personal soldiers brought tea.

Zhou Yu made a gesture, inviting Lu Su to taste tea together.

"Please."

Lu Su also replied with a "please", then picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Zhou Yu then asked about Lu Su's origins:

"Zijing, now Cao Cao has gone south to Jingzhou, and the situation is changing rapidly."

"Why are you not here to give advice to the lord, but come to Chaisang?"

Lu Su put down the teacup, put his hands on his knees, and said to Zhou Yu:

"The governor doesn't know yet, right? A while ago, the governor of Danyang, Gui Lan, and the county magistrate Dai Yuan rebelled and killed the lord's younger brother Shu Bi."

"However, Shu Bi's wife Xu, together with Shu Bi's old general Fu Ying, Sun Gao and others, have killed Gui Lan and Dai Yuan. ”

“When the letter reached Jianye, the lord packed up his troops and horses overnight, went to Danyang to appease the people, and took Shubi’s wife, Xu, back to her hometown to live in retirement.”
