Yang Zheng was puzzled. There was no shortage of Qiang or Ti people in his army, but there were only a few Di people, and there was no one like Li Mu.

Looking left and right in confusion.

"Deng Ai's army captured eleven generals, one of whom was named Li Mu." the soldier replied.

"I see." Yang Zheng was so busy during this period that he almost forgot about this.

In fact, this group of surrendered generals is not easy to deal with either.

Killing him will arouse the resentment of other Yongliang generals, and no one will defect to him in the future.

He was released, but he was a little unwilling to do so. These people were not ordinary prisoners. Many of them had certain family backgrounds and their interests were tied to Deng Ai. They were not easy to fool.

Since the entire clan of this foreign boy came to join him, he should be able to persuade Li Mu to change his mind.

"Go and release Li Mu, buy a mansion in the Western Capital City, and give it to him."

"Wei!" The soldier took the order and left.

The young man from Di was overjoyed, "Thank you, general, thank you, general."

He kowtowed three times to Yang Zheng.

Compared to a surrendered general, Yang Zheng actually cared more about the young man in front of him.

"May I have your name?"

"Li Te." The young man raised his head and said.

I have a Zhang Te under my command, and now I have a Li Te.

"Are you willing to join me in the future?"

"This is Te's long-cherished wish!" Li Te said with joy.

Yang Zheng helped him up. He was about to reward him with his exquisite ring-headed sword. He felt that there were too many gifts these days. Fan Tiefu, the owner of the iron workshop, had objections. He couldn't be blamed for being stingy. Yang Zheng's saber was all

Refining fine products requires labor, time, and money.

He could only take off his cloak and tie it to him, "You will be my personal soldier from now on."

"Wei!" Li Te showed no reluctance.

According to the way of doing things in this era, this is called undressing.

This is what people do these days.

Li Te stood respectfully among the soldiers.

The other soldiers looked askance at him.

Yang Zheng's personal soldiers are extraordinary. Many mid-level officers in the army are sent out as personal soldiers.

Now a yellow-haired boy has directly occupied a pit. Why?

A good phenomenon in Xiping is that capable people will be respected, whether it is martial arts or literary talents, even if they are blacksmiths or doctors, as long as they have a skill, they will be respected by others.

The main reason is that Xiping is at the junction of Han and Yi. Under Yang Zheng's guidance, the status and treatment of various talents have been improved, second only to soldiers.

The military worships the strong, and Li Te has a majestic figure, but he has never shown any skills, so naturally some people are dissatisfied.

If Liu Heng were here, there would be another round of cynicism.

Yang Zheng noticed the change in the demeanor of the guards around him and guessed what they were thinking, but did not intervene.

Appropriate competition can be allowed and help maintain the vitality of the military.

After staying in Jincheng for almost two months, the young crops in the fields were already up to the ankles, and five Zhechong mansions were built by Lu Zhi.

Xuanyi Division is even more prosperous.

However, new problems also emerged one after another.

There is a shortage of qualified officers.

There are a total of sixteen Zhechong mansions in Xiping. Each mansion has one Zhechong captain, one deputy lieutenant on the left and one right, one tooth general, one chief officer, one soldier cao, and one Xuanyi order. There are a total of 112 middle and high-level officers.

The captain Zhechong and the left and right lieutenants must not only be able to fight, but also have certain management capabilities.

The other Yajiang, Changshi, Bingcao, Xuanyi Ling, etc. are all doing their own things.

Fortunately for Yajiang, there is no shortage of strong men in Xiping who can kill people.

The chief historian, the military officer, and the xuanyi order were all civil servants.

The long history is in charge of the fields, the military commanders are in charge of the troops, and the xuanyi orders are in charge of ideas and supervision.

They must not be confused together, otherwise it will not be training the army soldiers, but letting the tooth soldiers and tooth generals appear in advance.

There is a shortage of civil servants everywhere in Xiping.

Yang Zheng thought carefully and realized that when it was time to boldly use talents, he must not be restrained.

Yang Zheng and Lu Zhi immediately rushed back to Xidu and took a crash course.

Priority is given to recruiting children from the youth camp, and disabled soldiers are used again. As long as you have the brains, you can get them all.

Yang Zheng taught them step by step how to attack Chang Shi and Bing Cao.

He also selected brave men from the entire army to serve as generals.

Almost too busy to even touch the ground.

It doesn’t matter if you have no experience, let’s cross the river by feeling the stones together.

However, Captain Zhechong and his left and right lieutenants were already considered senior officers in Xiping, so there was no room for sloppiness. Yang Zheng issued a decree stating that everyone in Xiping could participate in recruitment.

It seems that there is no threshold, but in fact the threshold is very high.

The veterans were very enthusiastic.

Wu Yong and the others are not bad at all. They are all good at cutting people. Their eyes turn red when they pick up a knife.

But it is too difficult for them to manage their subordinates' troops and fields.

Of the sixteen captains, only four experienced soldiers with some knowledge of literature were qualified for the job.

The so-called proficiency means that you can write your own name and can barely calculate addition and subtraction within a hundred...

At this time, we can only catch the duck and put it on the shelf.

The children of Qingying are like leeks, they are cut off one after another before they have fully grown.

The remaining half-grown children aged eleven or twelve are really of no use.

However, after the assessment, a few people caught Yang Zheng's attention.

The first person to be captured by thieves in the Western Capital City was Linsen, whose courtesy name was Maoxing.

To catch a thief is to catch a fast one.

His father, Lin Zhong, was originally a corps commander of the Guards Battalion. During the battle of Erhe Shao Ge in Mingyue Gorge, he was injured and retired. He became a farm commander and managed the farmland in Jianwei City.

Lin Sen was promoted to be a thief catcher in the Western Capital because of his father's merits.

It's not because he is qualified to be a captain, but because he can fight Liu Heng with a spear.

Especially in archery, he can shoot a powerful five-stone bow and hit extremely high within two hundred steps.

This is pretty much the sniper of this era.

Yin people can use it in the future.

Yang Zheng has always accepted talents.

After asking, I learned that both father and son were born as hunters and had relied on bows and arrows to make a living since childhood.

It would be too much for such a person to be a policeman, so Yang Zheng directly turned into a soldier.

Of course, the reason he was able to compete with Liu Heng was because Liu Heng's mace fell in the moat of Yunwu City and was never picked up. A new one was still being built.

The other two people are Yang Jun and Yang Jue.

Born in the Yang family of Hongnong, he was naturally talented in both civil and military affairs.

Yang Ji and Yang Xiao were in charge of the Farming Division, and now Yang Jun and Yang Jui were appointed as the commander-in-chief.

Yang Zheng was a little worried.

But this is no longer the time to think about it that much.

There is Jiuying Camp secretly and Xuanyi Department clearly, and all the systems are quite sound.

Why should I have a small belly?

As a person from later generations, as the power becomes stronger in the future, isn't there still no way to deal with a noble clan that is gradually declining?

The last person turned out to be Du Bin...

A living treasure that was almost forgotten by Yang Zheng.

However, this guy does have some abilities, but he is too unreliable, and his ability to stir up troubles far exceeds that of Liu Heng.
To be continued...
