There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

The pottery merchant praised with satisfaction: "Except for the extreme narcissism of 'extremely capable', everything else is on point. A Fei, you are so smart and have a high level of comprehension. Guaranteed personality, you are not far from being promoted and making a fortune."

Ah Fei sighed after hearing the words: "Prime Minister, what if I am accidentally discovered by Huang Zhong?"

The pottery merchant smiled and said, "It's easy, then you're not far from death."

……

A few days later, the Tao merchants' soldiers and horses attacked the city several times, but Huang Zhong's deployment of troops was very auspicious, and the main force of the Tao army was not here. Therefore, after several days of fierce fighting, the Jinling army could not conquer Changzhou. Wu County.

In desperation, the pottery merchants had to withdraw their troops for the time being, in order to see the effect later.

Hearing that the pottery merchants had withdrawn their troops, all the civil servants and generals in Changwu County couldn't help but beam with joy, all of them looked joyful.

This matter is really exciting for them. The small Changwu County has actually blocked the Prince Taiping who has ruled the southeast for nearly eight years. It is said that the names of all the civil and military people in Changwu County will inevitably rise with the tide, and their reputation will grow by then. up.

Everyone is very excited, except for one person who is always on his mind.

Huang Zhong is obvious, but not as good as them.

Overall, Huang Zhong is quite worried.

With the growing reputation of the pottery merchant, all warriors in the world must have heard of his deeds, and according to Huang Zhong's understanding of the pottery merchant's behavior over the years, he felt that Prime Minister Tao did not seem like a person who would give up at will.

Even though Changwu County is not big, it is impossible for potters to fight Liu Biao with such a nail on the side.

Huang Zhong immediately approached Wei Yan and said to him: "Master Wen, you said that although the pottery merchants never took Changwu County, they never had a major defeat, so they retreated for no reason. Is there a fraud?"

Wei Yan thought about it carefully, and said: "General Huang's words are indeed reasonable. The man surnamed Tao is called a gentleman, and he is really a hero. It is impossible to retreat easily without achieving his goal. Could it be...he wants to mobilize a large army, and come back for revenge? "

As soon as Wei Yan finished speaking, Huang Zhong suddenly slapped the table and shouted: "That's too reasonable!"

Huang Zhong's voice was very loud, and he slapped the table violently. Unprepared, Wei Yan was shocked. He staggered, leaned back, and almost fell over.

"Wenchang, be careful!" Huang Zhong said hastily.

Wei Yan straightened his body, his face turned red, he straightened the square scarf on his head, looked around and said, "General Huang, if the potters really go to organize troops and intend to attack Changwu City again, then we should What should I do?"

Huang Zhong stroked his gray beard and thought carefully: "Since this is the case, we must not relax. We need to prepare more stones, wood, gold juice, make defensive equipment, and strengthen the city defense. We must not let the potters come back to take my city." .”

Wei Yan hesitated for a moment, then said: "General Huang, the problem is that we still have a problem right now."

"What's the problem?"

"The number of our soldiers and horses may not be enough to do so many things."

Huang Zhong laughed, and said: "Now that the pottery merchants have withdrawn, we might as well take the opportunity to start recruiting soldiers in the surrounding counties. Even though the newly recruited soldiers can't be used for fierce battles, it shouldn't be difficult for them to defend the city. "

Wei Yan cupped his hands and said, "General Huang really has a good opinion."

"Mr. Wen, I will leave this matter to you. Don't disappoint the old man's high expectations."

Wei Yan knew that Huang Zhong still admired him very much, and had high hopes for him, so what he did now was really cultivating himself.

Wei Yan bowed his hands to Huang Zhong gratefully, and said: "General Huang, don't worry, the subordinates will definitely live up to your cultivation!"

……

Therefore, in Changwu City, Huang Zhong was in charge of the city's defensive layout, and Wei Yan was in charge of recruiting soldiers from all townships and counties.

Wei Yan visited many townships and pavilions under Changwu County and recruited many farmers and men to serve as soldiers, but Wei Yan was really not satisfied with these people from the bottom of his heart.

Huang Zhong saved his life last time, and he relied heavily on Wei Yan. Wei Yan was young and energetic, and wanted to make some achievements to repay Huang Zhong. This recruitment of soldiers and bravery was an opportunity for him.

But what I have to admit is that the soldiers I recruited are either young, old, or idlers with no land to farm. The low level of combat power can be described as appalling.

Although Huang Zhong said it didn't matter, Wei Yan was so arrogant that he couldn't get over this hurdle in his heart.

After thinking about it, he decided to raise the level of this recruitment.

Therefore, Wei Yan sent people to issue orders in various townships and counties, saying that it was necessary to recruit strong and strong men to serve the country. All brave men or capable men with real skills can be promoted exceptionally and entrusted with important tasks.

Wei Yan did not believe that he would not be able to recruit some truly capable heroes!

It is a pity that dreams are full and reality is very backbone.

Most of the self-proclaimed capable heroes who were recruited were just like that, but they just wanted to find a way to make a good living.

Wei Yan personally inspected this batch of candidates who came to take the exam, and the result almost gave him a heart attack.

Not to mention the extreme proficiency in martial arts, one of them had his nose broken during the competition and passed out directly.

Those who are dizzy dare to come to serve as soldiers, and there is really no one who wants to eat and drink in these days!

Wei Yan went off in person, and after punishing these smugglers, he immediately ordered the soldiers under his command to search all directions carefully. No matter what, he must find a real warrior and save his face. Who would dare to use these trash to fool him again? , Sit on the ground and kill them all.

This time, it can be said that it is a complete mobilization of the entire battalion.

In fact, what Wei Yan did was only a moment of anger, and he no longer had many illusions about this matter in his heart.

After all, although the world is big, how can truly capable people be content with mediocrity... They have already gone out to do great things.

After a few days, those soldiers who went out to investigate brought back news to Wei Yan.

The news brought back really cheered Wei Yan up.

There was actually a person who brought back the news of the hero.Or maybe it's a rumor.

The soldier said that there are rumors in the village thirty miles to the southeast that it seems to be another hunter from a foreign country, who lives in the forest near their village. It is said that the hunter is young but extremely brave. It is said that he has not been here for a long time. , and killed the wild boars and tigers that caused Zhuangzi's harm. The skill is so high that it is really amazing.

Wei Yan was a little interested when he heard this.

"Is this statement true or false?"

The soldier who brought back the news hurriedly said: "It's all rumors in the village. The villain doesn't know much about the specific situation. Why don't you let the villain go back and find out, and then report to the general..."

Wei Yan stroked his short beard and pondered for a while, then said: "It doesn't have to be like this, thirty li is not too far away, since you can kill the tiger, you must have some real skills, why don't you let the general walk through it himself, It can be regarded as paying homage to a foreigner.”

After making up his mind, Wei Yan went there in person the next day.

As the inquiring soldiers came to the village, Wei Yan asked the local people about the specific situation, and then led the troops into the deep mountains to look for the so-called man who killed pigs and tigers.

After searching for a while in the mountains and forests, he still couldn't find the so-called alien.

It was hot and difficult to walk in the forest. Wei Yan and the others felt tired after searching for a while, so they found a small stream to rest.

When Wei Yan was wiping his face vigorously with the stream, there was a sudden commotion from the other side of the stream.
