Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

Xu Shu's arrival did not attract too many people's attention, Liu Bei just held a private banquet at home and invited Xu Shu.

After all, with Liu Bei's current status and reputation, it is no longer suitable to solemnly initiate a grand invitation to a newcomer, because that not only means the recognition of ability, but also a kind of amazing pressure.

Speaking of Xu Shu's ability, Chen Xi is still very relieved. Xu Shu can say that he is finally qualified to meet Liu Bei, which means that Xu Shu is already sure to deal with all situations. Otherwise, with the personality of this former gangster leader, he can say no. Say something like this.

Liu Bei specially hosted a banquet for Xu Shu, which moved Xu Shu greatly. With Chen Xi sitting with him, he didn't have much fear after a few glasses of wine.

"I don't know how Yuanzhi has been in Jingzhou for the past few years." Liu Bei smiled and asked Xu Shu about the life in Jingzhou, which could make such a big change for Xu Shu, a little rascal. Liu Bei was very curious about what happened in the past few years.

"When I first met Mr. Pang De, I had to meet a confidant. With his help, I am here today." Xu Shu recalled how he was treated coldly by others when he first arrived in Jingzhou, and then remembered how he met Mr. Pang De at that time. A smile appeared on his face and he slowly talked about his life in the past few years.

"So Mr. Pang De is indeed a great talent, but it's a pity that I don't have the chance to meet him." Liu Bei said with a little emotion. He could feel the introverted temperament of Xu Shu, a bit like Chen Xi just debuted back then. Although he is knowledgeable and talented, he is also confident. , but after all, a little rusty in personnel affairs.

"He is indeed a strange person." Xu Shu shook his head and said, and then spoke again. "However, Lord Pound has lived in Jingzhou for a long time, and it is difficult to leave his homeland, but there is no way to recruit him. If my lord is willing to give it a try, I can write a book."

Xu Shu's words were completely joking. Obviously, he knew that Duke Pound would not come, and Liu Bei cherished his talents, so he said this.

"That's not necessary." Chen Xi said with a smile, "They are all from Han land, there is no difference between distance and distance. There will be a day of reunion after all, why rush for a while." As Chen Xi raised his glass to invite Xu Shu, Chen Xi hadn't given anyone a cup for a long time Toast.

"That's the truth." Xu Shu nodded slightly, not surprised, and raised his glass with a smile to drink it down. In his opinion, Liu Bei's situation would sweep the world after he settled the Central Plains, and Liu Biao had no part in the words of the Han people.

Chen Xi smiled slightly. He was very satisfied with Xu Shu. Whether it was the strategy discussed at the banquet or the plan for the Northern Expedition, they were all well-founded. . In the previous life, Xu Shu had already reached his peak the moment he left the mountain.

"My lord, Master Jia has something to report." At this moment, a guard came to report. Only at this time did Liu Bei realize that it was time for Jia Xu to report to him every day on the current progress of the army.

"Please come in." Liu Bei said to the guards.

"My lord." Jia Xu bowed slightly, but saw Xu Shu who was sitting beside Liu Bei, and didn't ask specifically. Although he had never met Xu Shu, he glanced at him casually. It was enough for Jia Xu to understand who Chen Xi and Liu Bei could invite at the same time.

"Wenhe, sit down. How is the situation of our army now?" Liu Bei didn't avoid Xu Shu, and Xu Shu didn't mean to avoid either. After asking the maid to add a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and a few more meals, Liu Bei asked with a smile.

"In three days, more than 44,000 people have gathered, including more than 13,000 experienced veterans, including more than 7,000 veterans with more than 10 battles, and more than 15 battles, including those who have been defeated in the city management team. There are more than 4,000 veterans." Jia Xu said, sitting in his seat casually.

"Shouldn't those veterans who have been defeated in the city management army over the fifteenth battle go home to farm? They are all about forty years old." Chen Xi said with some headaches, "Didn't it be agreed that no one over thirty-two years old would be allowed? "

Xu Shu was slightly taken aback. The so-called battles were not battles between several scout squads. The calculation of how many battles an old soldier survived was based on the battles at the legion level. More than ten battles.

"They felt very unaccustomed to planting a field for a month at home, and they couldn't bear this kind of life at all. According to the information I collected, it was relatively peaceful for this group of people to go home for a short time, but after waiting for more than a month, they There will be aversion to trivial things." Jia Xu said casually.

Without waiting for Chen Xi to express his feelings about veteran syndrome, Jia Xu continued, "And this group of people are basically elite soldiers in the barracks. They are full of energy every day. They used to specialize in killing enemies, so they don't know how to farm for a long time."

"This means that I need to spend money to build a regular skill teaching academy for veterans, so that they can have skills?" Chen Xi said with a headache.

"It's almost like this. By the way, compared to their life in the army before, their life after returning home is not very good." Jia Xu said completely regardless of Chen Xi's expression. After Lu Su left office, Chen Xi managed it.

"They don't need to be responsible for the army's board and lodging. As long as they can fight, the steamed buns are always open, and meat is eaten twice a month. In addition, the army's salary is 20% higher than what they are now. What's more important is that only nine out of ten of these killers don't understand. How to manage money, that is what you said to be drunk tonight!" Jia Xu said with a deadpan expression that made Chen Xi very entangled.

You have to know that when Chen Xi let the old soldiers retire, he also paid 80% of their salaries just to let them find a new job and have an extra salary. In this way, even if they are retired, they will not know anything at the beginning, and they will have to eat, wear and learn for a few years. It will be enough, after all, the salary will always be 80% for the first three years after retiring from the army.

"What's more important is that the salary will be reduced to 50% after three years, and then it will be reduced to only the pension benefits equivalent to 20% of the salary." Jia Xu looked at Chen Xi with a sinister smile and said, the meaning of which is self-evident Metaphor.

"To put it bluntly, these guys don't know how to live at all, right? They were originally in the military camp and had nowhere to spend money, so they just sent it back. The family lived well, and they themselves lived well. Now after returning it, the money is naturally taken by themselves. And I don't know how to manage money, I'm really convinced!" Chen Xi only felt his head grow bigger.

"That's basically what it means." Jia Xu said with a smile, "So they are not comfortable staying at home, but when they heard that the Northern Expedition was going to happen, they came here, and they have overthrown the Qingzhou soldiers of the entire army. "(to be continued)
