Four days later, Tang Jian arrived at Wanling.
It had been two days since Fu Ying's banquet.
Tang Jian didn't think there was anything wrong.
With fewer people, it was easier to talk.
In addition, the gift he gave was heavy enough for Fu Ying to serve one-on-one.
In the living room, the maid served tea.
Tang Jian was sharp-eyed and saw at a glance that the maid was a beautiful female member of the Gui Lan family.
At that time, Fu Ying captured them all and sent them to the dock.
But in order to pack more boxes of property, Tang Jian gave up these beauties.
He handed them all over to Fu Ying for disposal.
And Fu Ying was not polite at all and kept them at home as maids.
Seeing Tang Jian staring at the maid, Fu Ying rarely joked:
"If Jianming regrets, I can still send these women back to you now."
Tang Jian waved his hand and sneered:
"General Fu is joking. These things that have been sent out... uh, I said it wrong. How can people who have been sent out be taken back?"
Fu Ying smiled and asked again: "Why didn't my cousin Fu Tong come?"
Tang Jian replied: "It's like this. Our garrison has increased a lot of population recently. General, you know that they are all grassroots people who don't obey discipline, so we need a capable person to keep them in check."
"So, I can only come to the general's promotion banquet."
After listening, Fu Ying nodded to show his understanding.
Then he asked again:
"Then, how many people does Jianming have under his command now?"
Tang Jian thought for a while, and then replied:
"Now there are more than 8,000 people."
When Fu Ying heard this, he was shocked!
He originally thought that Tang Jian could recruit 800 to 1,000 people at most.
If he needed people, he could recruit Tang Jian directly.
But he didn't expect Tang Jian to recruit so many!
With so many troops, it would be enough to attack Wanling City!
Tang Jian also had his own considerations.
If he said the number was too small, he was afraid that the other party would swallow him up.
It would be better to say more.
So that the other party could not swallow him.
Then he could further raise his own value.
His trick was indeed effective.
After Fu Ying heard this, his expression became a little serious.
But this was exactly what Tang Jian wanted.
"General Fu, I heard that Liu Cong in Jingzhou has surrendered to Cao Cao."
"Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao and unified the north. Now he has Jingzhou. With a million soldiers, he is only one step away from conquering the world!"
"So, I predicted that Cao Cao would invade the south, which is why I recruited troops."
Fu Ying realized it belatedly:
"It turns out that Jianming had already predicted the current situation, so he gathered the river bandits and formed mercenaries. Could it be for this day?"
Tang Jian did not hide it: "Yes!"
"I had expected it a long time ago, There will definitely be a war between Cao Cao and the Marquis of Wu."
"So recruiting soldiers in advance is to prepare for this day."
After listening, Fu Ying looked at Tang Jian in disbelief:
"I only know that Jianming is not an ordinary person, but I didn't expect you to have such insights!"
"I wonder what Jianming will do next?"
Tang Jian stood up and said:
"I want to recruit more soldiers, expand the army to 10,000 people, and rush to build warships and weapons."
"To help the Marquis of Wu defeat Cao!"
Fu Ying was almost scared to stand up!
Not only do we have to recruit 10,000 soldiers...
We also have to rush to build warships... and build weapons...
In this way, wouldn't it be like developing a private armed force under my command?
Seeing Fu Ying's hesitation, Tang Jian stepped up his verbal offensive:
"Cao Cao already had more than 200,000 elite soldiers. After defeating Yuan Shao, he gained more than 300,000 soldiers."
"Now that Jingzhou has been taken, another 280,000 have been gained."
"Nearly a million troops."
"And what about the Marquis of Wu?"
"Even if all the soldiers in Jiangdong were exhausted, I'm afraid there would be less than 100,000. How could they resist Cao Cao's million-strong army?"
"So, the more soldiers I recruit here, the more help it will be to the Marquis of Wu."
"Please don't doubt it, General."
After listening to this, Fu Ying also recalled what Sun Quan said to him a few days ago.
"Danyang has been a place of elite soldiers since ancient times. Now the situation in the north is changing rapidly."
"I let the general guard Danyang, not only to stabilize Danyang, but also to recruit more soldiers and horses, so that when necessary, you can help me..."
Fu Ying certainly understood what Sun Quan said.
Sun Quan meant that he should recruit more soldiers to prepare for emergencies.
However, after several civil wars in Danyang, the treasury is not sufficient and it is unable to recruit a large number of troops.
At present, only Tang Jian has the ability to recruit a large number of people.
Thinking of this, Fu Ying had to make it clear:
"Jianming wantsIt is not impossible to recruit more soldiers. "
"But if there is a war in the future, I hope Jianming and his soldiers will listen to my command."
"Otherwise, even if I am short of soldiers, I will not agree to your request."
Tang Jian listened and thought that when the Battle of Red Cliffs really comes, even if I want to listen to your command, you will be powerless.
After all, such a large-scale battle with millions of people is the main battlefield of Zhou Yu, Kong Ming, Cao Cao and others.
It is a place where top wise men in the world like Pang Tong, Xu Shu, and Kan Ze can display their talents.
It is not a place where people of Fu Ying's level can participate in the game.
Tang Jian agreed without hesitation.
However, since Fu Ying has put forward the conditions.
As a bargaining, Tang Jian is also ready to put forward his own conditions:
"In this case, the matter between me and the general is settled."
"But, I have another unwelcome request, and I hope the general can agree. "
Fu Ying is finding that Tang Jian is a difficult person to deal with.
If you give him a little bit of concessions, he can take away all your wealth.
So he didn't dare to agree rashly, but just said:
"Jianming, try to explain it."
That is, you tell me what you want to say.
If it is an easy thing to do and it is also good for me, then I will consider it.
But if you set me up again and ask me to do those things that are not worth doing, I will refuse it outright!
Tang Jian said: "General, you must know that these people I recruited were all recruited from the people."
"If you want to go to the battlefield in the future, you must have targeted training."
"And I only have one Fu Tong under my command, and I am seriously lacking generals who know how to train soldiers."
"So I ask the general to borrow a group of generals from the army to help me train soldiers. "
Hearing Tang Jian's words, Fu Ying's mouth twitched.
He glanced at Tang Jian and thought that this man was really shameless.
Although he had known Tang Jian was shameless for a long time.
He could ask a young widow for all her property.
Now he even shamelessly came to the local garrison commander to borrow soldiers for training.
And the soldiers he trained were his private soldiers!
If it weren't for his cart of gifts, Fu Ying really wanted to kick Tang Jian out.
After thinking about it, Fu Ying said unhappily:
"There is no manpower in my army, so I recommend someone for you."
"This man used to be a cavalry general under the command of the prefect Liu Yao. He followed Taishi Ci to fight General Bo Fu on Shenting Ridge."
"This man is now the county comfort of Danyang County. He is quite capable of commanding troops. You can go find him."
