Chapter 568 Pang Shiyuan takes office

?Xu Huang doesn't understand why Zhao Xing used an old man in his fifties as a military advisor, but Zhao Xing does have his own reasons.

Although Chen Gui was fifty years old and had already lived in seclusion in the East China Sea, he was not an old and stupid person. When he retired from the position of Prime Minister of Xia Pi, it was mainly to create opportunities for his son Chen Deng to take office. Otherwise, at Chen Gui's age, it would not be too late to "retire and lay off" for more than ten years.

Chen Gui, who was idle at home, had nothing to do, so he followed the Mi family's caravan to Quanzhou by boat, and then traveled all the way from Quanzhou to Wohu City. It was said that he was traveling around, but in fact, Chen Gui was secretly investigating the internal affairs model of Jin State, which can be regarded as learning about the legendary figure Zhao Xing through this way.

When Chen Gui arrived at Wohu City, he would naturally not be neglected. After all, the father and son of the other party followed Jin State sincerely, and the three Chen father and son (Chen Gui, Chen Deng and Chen Ying) were also good talents, especially Chen Deng could be valued and worthy of winning. Zhao Xing invited many heavyweight celebrities, such as Cai Yong, Zhang Jian, Guan Ning, Bing Yuan, Liu Dai, etc., to accompany Chen Gui to travel to Jin State, which made Chen Gui feel very proud, and the matter of Zhao Xing coming out to recruit him later was natural.

Chen Gui was also a visionary wise man. He came to Jin from Xuzhou to find a way out for the Chen family. Qingxu and the other prefectures were staring at by the surrounding princes, which was obviously not a peaceful place. Chen Gui learned that the Jin navy bought islands and built a military port in the East China Sea, so he thought that if there was something wrong, he would transfer the Chen family's foundation to the territory controlled by Jin State through water.

Chen Gui just wanted to come to Jin to find some opportunities to settle down and establish a career, but he didn't expect that Zhao Xing would extend an olive branch to him. He naturally would not let go of such a fleeting opportunity.

The reason why Zhao Xing was enthusiastic about using Chen Gui was because: first, he felt that putting the two top strategists, Guo Jia and Pang Tong, around him, was always shrouded by his invincible halo, which was not conducive to the development of the two, but also delayed the front-line troops that really needed top strategists; second, the Chen family and Jin State are a community of interests, and the Chen father and son famous scholars destined that once they recognized their masters, they would maintain enough loyalty unless one day Jin State could not protect the safety of the Chen family.

Since Li Ru, who is not very relieved, letting Chen Gui, the old Jiang, follow him, play a role in reminding and preventing Li Ru. Zhao Xing's use of Li Ru and Chen Gui is definitely a wonderful move that others would not have imagined!

When Zhao Xing carefully analyzed why he used Chen Gui's reasons to Xu Huang, Xu Huang looked at Zhao Xing with a very strange look, which made Zhao Xing, who had always been brave, feel a little scared.

Xu Huang looked at Zhao Xing with a strange look, but he felt that Zhao Xing is becoming more and more skilled in calculating now. Sometimes he even unnaturally remembered the five tigers' feudal relationship. Is it a carefully set up plan by Zhao Xing? Of course, Xu Huang has no resentment towards Zhao Xing. After so many years of brothers, he really likes and supports this sworn brother.

Next, Xu Huang finally had the opportunity to tell Zhao Xing what he and Chen Gong had already discussed, about the two ideas about expanding the army and building the pass.

After hearing this, Zhao Xing felt it was very necessary and needed to implement it quickly. He said: "I considered the expansion of the Crouching Tiger Army as early as when the Xiongwu Army and Xiongju Army expanded the army. It was expanded to 40,000 people at one time, and there was no problem in other aspects. The key was the selection of the source of troops. The banner of "the world's number one army" could not be lost, so where to generate 20,000 strong combat power soldiers became the key."

Xu Huang said: "There is no need to draw candidates from other armies. Just recruit 20,000 people from the reserve force. I guarantee that I will start training to the existing combat effectiveness level of the Chouhu Army within half a year!"

Zhao Xing disagreed with this, thinking that half a year was too long, so he said: "This time Gu Yuan was attacked. One of the important reasons why the Wohu Army did not catch the murderer was that there were no cavalry. Taking advantage of this opportunity to expand the army, I plan to draw 5,000 light cavalry from the Flying Tiger Army, 5,000 special combat troops from the Xiongju Army, 5,000 infantry cavalry from the Dragon Cavalry Army, and 5,000 heavy armored infantry from the Pioneer Army, expand the Wohu Army to 40,000 people in one step, so that they can adapt to complex combat tasks!"

Seeing that Zhao Xing insisted on his own opinion, Xu Huang did not get too entangled with the matter of Bingyuan. He asked Zhao Xing: "What should we do if we rebuild Jiguan?"

Zhao Xing replied: "This matter will be handed over to your new military advisor Pang Tong. He has been with me for a long time and is very familiar with various departments in Jin. He can easily deal with it about how to apply for military expenses, recruit civilians, and call craftsmen."

Since two major events have been decided, Xu Huang's face has completely returned to normal. He is not in a hurry to avenge Deng Mao and the officers and soldiers of the Second Qingbu Division. After Pang Tong arrived, the Crouching Tiger Army naturally had ways to defeat Zhang Fei, who was stationed in Hedong.

After seeing Xu Huang off, Zhao Xing asked someone to invite Chen Gong to the mansion and explained his new appointment. Chen Gong had no objection to asking him to go to Youzhou to serve as the governor of the state. He felt that Zhao Xing valued and trusted him so much, and felt that he was warm.

After the aspiring Chen Gong left, Zhao Xing asked Pang Tong to come to him again.

Zhao Xing said to Pang Tong: "The Crouching Tiger Army will be expanded tomorrow, and the number will be set to 40,000. Military advisor Chen Gong went to Youzhou to replace Gongsun Zan as the governor of the prefecture, and Gongsun Zan followed Zhao Yun to Jizhou. What did Shi Yuan think?"

Pang Tong thought for a while, and then replied: "This kind of personnel adjustment can be used to its fullest, but the Crouching Tiger Army is at the critical moment of expanding the army. After transferring Chen Gong, wouldn't it be for the commander Xu to work hard alone?"

Zhao Xing smiled strangely, and then he told Pang Tong: "In order not to let Chief Xu work hard alone, he had to appoint Shi Yuan to help him!"

Pang Tong was not mentally prepared for this sudden appointment. He was stunned and then said, "Tong has a shallow qualifications and has a short time to follow the lord, so he is afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public."

The smile on Zhao Xing's face gradually dissipated, and he told Pang Tong solemnly: "In protecting the *****, we never rank according to seniority, and everything depends on our ability and ability. Shi Yuan doesn't have to worry about this. I believe that Commander Xu Gongming will never underestimate you. Does Shi Yuan know why I let you serve as the military advisor of the Cold Tiger Army that will be expanded?"

Pang Tong shook his head and said he could not guess.

Zhao Xing then said: "Although Shi Yuan kept silent about the 'Wolong Feng Chu' after coming to the North, I know that you and Zhuge Kongming were the top wise men of the world. Now Kong Ming assisted Liu Bei, which has caused many obstacles to the Jin State. From the information we have, the salt ban movement, the storm of Han Sui, the rebellion of Zhuge, and the incidents of Zhuge Fei's takeover of Yecheng and Zhang Fei's garrison in Hedong, there are the shadow of Zhuge Kongming's advice for Liu Bei. The 'Wolong' is so powerful, and now it is time for you, the 'Feng Chu' to show your skills for the safety of Jin State!"

"Thank you for your kindness, Shi Yuan should live up to his trust!" Hearing this, Pang Tong stopped refusing and firmly took over the position of the new military advisor of the Croaking Tiger Army. ~ See the first release without any advertisements, please come to "
