Chapter Thirteen: Prepare for a Rainy Day
Like Li Tong, the other people who came back from Gushi have already devoted themselves to recruitment and lobbying.
The task assigned to them by Jiang Feng was also very clear, which was to do his best to recruit more experienced players to Gushi. At the same time, we should also report the current situation of the Gushi Army and make publicity in Daliang to maximize the expansion of the Gushi Army's influence in Daliang.
This influence can also penetrate from low to high, and may not be visible yet, but as time goes by, the high-level leaders of Daliang will also accept this impression subtly and gradually regard the Gushi Army as an increasingly important and reliable ally.
It has to be admitted that Daliang's resources in this area are unparalleled. For decades, he started with the Huang Chao Rebellion and later transformed into a rebellion with the Huang Chao Rebellion Army. Finally, he fought with the Dajin, Taining Army, the Invasion Army and the later Caizhou Army, which led to a large number of military talents in Daliang.
It can be said that in the era of Daliang where the stars were gathered, except for Dajin who could barely compete with Daliang, the other vassals had only the ability to resist and had no power to fight back.
Even now that it is becoming increasingly declining and conservative, Daliang's military resources are still not comparable to other vassals. Anyone who makes a fuss in Daliang can catch a few characters shining among other vassals.
Li Tong felt that even if he recruited Zhang Ting, Zhang Guozhi and Guo Yue back to Gushi, he could complete the task successfully, not to mention that this was the beginning of his recruitment journey.
Compared to the level Li Tong contacted, the goals targeted by the other people are more complex and diverse.
Xu Jian returned home and slept beautifully.
Although the home is simple, it is also home.
Only the widowed mother and sister-in-law were at home, and the elder brother went out to sell cloth.
My brother has always been nice to me. Although he is not very satisfied with me wandering around, he is a mother and never said anything. However, his sister-in-law often pretends to be slutty. But Xu Jian also knew that if he changed to a brother-in-law like this, he would be full of complaints and he didn't mind.
Xu Jian was still a little confused about the task he came back this time.
To be honest, when I went to Gushi, Xu Jian never felt that he would have any luck.
In terms of martial arts, he was just in the Tongmai period. Almost everyone in the more than 30 people in Gushi were better than him. In terms of qualifications, he had never worked in the Daliang army, let alone any experience in leading troops. He once thought that maybe he could get into a role like a guard guard.
Unexpectedly, after he had a conversation with the military commander, this was something that the military commander and everyone who came to Gushi from Bianliang, and his destiny seemed to have some deviations from others.
For example, I was not incorporated into the army, but stayed in the scouts.
In the battle against the Caizhou Army, as a scout, his main responsibility was to wander around Gushi City and discover clues of the enemy situation, especially the scouts of the enemy. It was precisely because he discovered that the Yuan master had sneaked into Gushi City that he sent a signal, but the opponent was too strong, and even Lu Yingfeng died at the opponent's hands, which made Xu Jian feel a little guilty.
Xu Jian didn't know if everyone of the few people he had returned along the way had been summoned and talked specifically by the military commander, but he felt that the conversation between the military commander and himself might be different from others.
Because he heard other friends talking on the way, their purpose was to recruit veterans and officers, but he was not.
The task given to him by the military commander is to recruit all those who can provide valuable information clues to the Gushi Army. Well, this range seems very broad, which makes Xu Jian a little confused when he hears the task. He doesn't know what the military commander wants him to do.
The military commander seemed very patient and talked to him casually. From his experience in Bianliang City, to his experiences and experiences of wanderers everywhere, to the current activities of those who are similar to his friends and partners, gradually, Xu Jian knew the purpose of the military commander.
What you need to recruit are scouts, and also detailed works, especially detailed works.
This task made Xu Jian both shocked and excited because he liked such a life, adventure, and full of challenges.
The military commander always seemed so calm in his words, as if everything seemed so straightforward in his mind, and it was natural.
The Gushi Army needed a group of scouts and meticulous works to collect information about various forces that might endanger the development of the Gushi Army, with the focus in Shouzhou, Yingzhou, Nanyang, Ehuang, and of course, Daliang.
This is how the commander of the intelligence army who wanted to collect Daliang was explained. The Gushi Army needed to understand the changes in the attitude of Daliang towards the Gushi Army, who had a good impression of the Gushi Army, who was hostile to the Gushi Army, and what their situation was. This would help the Gushi Army to do the work of these people according to local conditions, so that they could resolve hostility to the greatest extent and gain more benefits for the Gushi Army.
Some words do not need to be too clear. Xu Jian is not a fool, nor is he a foolish and loyal person from Daliang.
Unlike others, Daliang did not bring much to Xu Jian. On the contrary, it was precisely because of the lack of chance that Xu Jian felt that he was wasting his time so confused and in his twenties.
The name of Gossip sounds glorious, but only I know the bitterness inside. I have accomplished nothing in my youth. Walking around the world with a sword is just a beautiful depiction of poets. Giving yourself a solid profession that can show your strengths is serious. This is the difficult situation that every Gossip has to face in the end.
And now Gushijun seems to have given himself a chance to show his talents.
On the way back to Bianliang, Xu Jian was always considering his work tasks.
The military commander gave himself a task far less clear than others, and was even quite vague. He did not target specific people, specific regions, or even specific matters. Of course, he also defined the two areas of urgent and long-term plans.
Nanyang, Caizhou and Daliang themselves are the target direction Xu Jian set for his task this time. Those who need to set up and recruit people who can play a role in these three areas. He has already made some arrangements in his mind.
You Xia'er's friendship is wide. Xu Jian is famous for his generous and socializing in Bianliang City, and this has also brought him many friends of all kinds. These friends include local Daliang, as well as those who have met when traveling to Bianliang, and those who have also met when traveling to various places by themselves.
Many people are even staying in Bianliang now. There are many people who are happy about Shu here. Maybe they can give it a try now.
Jiang Feng has always been employed without any doubts. For those who can be trusted, let them do it after making arrangements.
He can only let go of the people who come from Daliang. On the one hand, being able to go from Daliang to Gushi is itself a trust in himself and the Gushi army. On the other hand, Gushi and Daliang will be mutually supportive ally for a long time, so there is no need for others.
Although there is still a lot of things to do here in Gushi, Jiang Feng can't wait.
He must go to Nanyang.
News feedback from various channels may be reported in the near future whether to launch an attack on Caizhou.
The battle between Daliang and Caizhou has also entered a critical stage. The Tianxing Zuoxiang Army on the eastern front, led by Li Gu, had crossed Daqiu River and occupied the county town of Wushui after several fierce battles.
The Tianxing Right Xiang Army, led by Niu Deguang, fought fiercely with the Yuan army in Caizhou who came to reinforce the reinforcements in Xiangcheng. However, it was obvious that the reinforcements of the Yuan army could not resist the attack of the Tianxing Right Xiang army, and it was only a matter of time before Xiangcheng fell.
Currently, Nandun is still firmly controlled by the Yuan family in the entire Nanchenzhou, but with the fall of Xiangcheng, Nandun cannot preserve it. At this time, the Yuan family in Caizhou actually understood that it was inevitable that Nanchenzhou would change hands. Xiangcheng He even transferred the property of the main family personnel to Xincai in advance.
The situation in the middle line is still stable. Due to its special location, Yancheng has always been a strong city fortress that Caizhou is striving to build. Its defense system is no less than that of the prefecture-government Ruyang. As long as Yancheng is in, the Daliang army will have to guard against the attack from the flanks of Yancheng Yuan's army.
Relying on the persistence of Yancheng, although the defense on the western front was very difficult and even lost Yelucheng and Xiping County, under the pressure of the opponent's absolute superior force, the Yuan army's defense line did not collapse and firmly withstood the many attacks of the Daliang army in Wufang.
Now everyone's eyes were looking at Nanyang.
Although the Caizhou army also set up defenses in advance at the lines of Yigushan, Wenchengzha, Ma'anshan and Langlingshan, everyone knows that as long as Nanyang sends troops, they can send troops from Tongbai or Shenzhou to the north, and easily enter from the hinterland of Caizhou, directly cut Caizhou into two halves, and directly declare the end of Caizhou.
It can be said that the Caizhou army has tried its best to tighten the entire line. As long as anyone stabs it from behind, it will lead to a collapse of its situation.
Jiang Feng even considered whether he could assemble the Gushi Army from attacking Guangzhou or Baoxin, but in the end he gave up this idea.
Gushi is located in the southeast corner, and it is not very meaningful to attack the southeast of Caizhou. Caizhou can completely ignore it and let it jump up and down, even if it gives new information, praise or even Shangcai to himself temporarily.
