Chapter 35: Poison Master Jia Xu comes to report

After wiping it every day, the saber that I once cherished was broken into two pieces.

Not only did Xue Wanche not feel reluctant to give up, but his eyes were red with excitement.

"With such a precious sword, I will definitely be able to assist His Highness in his fight back to Chang'an!"

Yue Fei and Feng Li also nodded heavily.

The confidence in my heart has never been higher.

For Li Chengdao, these ten thousand titanium alloy horizontal knives can be regarded as magic weapons in this era.

Its role and importance are far greater than those of the seven thousand white-robed army.

Just imagine, if there is an elite army of ten thousand people, each of them holds a titanium alloy sword, the combat effectiveness will skyrocket.

When the two armies fight, they will have a great inherent advantage.

Whether it is an ancient battlefield or a current battlefield, equipment advantages play a vital leading role in war.

The three generals Yue Fei, Xue Wanche, and Feng Li, plus Wang Gui, the logistics manager, looked at the titanium alloy sword in the camp warehouse, and they all laughed from ear to ear.

Li Chengdao bent down and picked up a titanium alloy horizontal knife. After a few words with Yue Fei and the others, he left the military camp and returned to the Zheng Mansion.

……

Time passed quickly, and the one-month recruitment period passed in a flash.

During this period, another decree came from Chang'an, urging Li Chengdao to rush to Youzhou.

But they were all rejected by Li Chengdao on the grounds that the three armies had not moved and food and grass had been moved first.

It’s okay to go to Youzhou, but you have to bring all the food and grass, right?
Otherwise, Xingyang is so far away from Youzhou, so we can't let our soldiers go hungry.

Li Shimin also knew it well and knew that Li Chengdao was using the excuse of preparing food and grass to recruit troops on a large scale.

Otherwise, if there is a huge Zheng family in Xingyang, it would take so long to raise some food and grass?

With the full support of the Zheng family in Xingyang, 6000 people were recruited for Li Chengdao in this month!

There were 1 more people than the planned [-] people.

The reason is actually very simple, that is, when recruiting soldiers, the salary given by the Zheng family in Xingyang was too generous.

Not only did it attract young people from Xingyang, but there was also an endless stream of people from surrounding states and counties who came to take the job.

In addition to overfulfilling the mission and recruiting [-] soldiers.

Zheng also helped Li Chengdao raise a large amount of food, grass and ordnance.

All kinds of war materials are continuously transported into Xingyang through various channels.

The rich heritage of the Zheng family in Xingyang is evident.

Zheng Yuanzhou even announced that the conscription period would be extended to half a year.

He can help Li Chengdao recruit [-] troops!

In the military camp outside Kaifeng City, the long-lost system prompt sounded in Li Chengdao's mind.

"The host successfully recruited [-] soldiers within a month. The rewards have been distributed."

Hearing this, Li Chengdao immediately became excited.

Initially, the system gave two mission options.The first option is to recruit [-] soldiers within a month and reward Mu Guiying.

The second option is to recruit [-] soldiers within a month and reward Jia Xu.

Now he has overfulfilled his task and finally succeeded in obtaining Jia Xu.

Jia Xu was a top adviser who still shined brightly in the era of bright stars like the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Because he was ruthless and vicious in his tactics, he was rated as a poisonous person by later generations.

Li Chengdao now has the handsome Yue Fei, the general Xue Wanche, the logistics Wang Gui, [-] elite cavalry, and [-] newly recruited soldiers under his command.

What he lacks most now is counselors.

When Jia Xu comes, he can directly make up for his shortcomings.

When he needs to make a decision, he makes suggestions.

"Your Highness, there is an old man who calls himself Jia Xu and wants to see him." A guard of the prince walked into the camp and reported to Li Chengdao.

Li Chengdao stood up immediately, "Please come in quickly."

"promise!"

The prince's guards exited the camp, and not long after, an old man with a goatee came in.

The old man didn't look amazing, just like an ordinary old Confucian scholar.

But his eyes that seemed to see through everything made people dare not underestimate him.

"Xu, see His Highness Taisun."

After entering the camp, Jia Xu respectfully performed a worship ceremony.

Before the Ming and Qing Dynasties, this kind of kneeling ceremony was not popular at all.

Jia Xu's sudden gift shocked Li Chengdao.

Before he could help Jia Xu up, Jia Xu spoke again:
"Six years ago, His Highness ordered someone to bury an old woman on the streets of Chang'an East City.

That old woman is my mother.

Xu traveled to Jiuzhou and heard about the Xuanwu Gate mutiny.

I specially came to Xingyang and am willing to use what I have learned throughout my life to help His Highness return to Chang'an. "

When Li Chengdao heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched.

Starting from Yue Fei, he knew that the people sent to him by the system would forge an identity.

This Jia Xu obviously came here for the purpose of repaying his kindness.

"Sir, get up quickly. I am very happy to have you help me. From now on, I will be my military advisor."

Seeing the genuine happiness on Li Chengdao's face, and hearing that he had been appointed as military advisor upon arrival, Jia Xu was extremely moved.

He quickly bowed to Li Chengdao again and thanked him.

"Let's go, sir, go with me to inspect the newly recruited soldiers."

Li Chengdao was full of excitement and left the camp with Jia Xu, who was known as a man of many tricks and plans.
