Runan's Escapist Liu Mang also received the recruitment order. His eyes flashed as he thought of the huge role of Liu Mang's recruitment order. Liu Bei's subordinates were lacking in talents. However, there were a lot of generals. Among the generals, there were Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Chen Dao, and the Mei brothers. Now, there was also Runan's Liu Pi. In terms of generals, these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were enough to command. However, they were lacking in civil officials. Above the civil officials were Jian Yong and Sun Qian. Although these two were also strategists, they were more like strategists who became strategists midway.
Jian Yong Zi Xian and Zhuo Jun Ren were strategists under Liu Bei during the Three Kingdoms period. When he was young, he met Liu Bei and later followed Liu Bei. To put it bluntly, he was someone who played with Escapist Liu since childhood. His martial arts were not good and he could only be a dog-head strategist. When it came to important matters, he was completely useless, just like Yang Hong. He was good at forming alliances but he was not far-sighted when it came to strategy.
Sun Qian was a strategist that Liu Bei obtained from Xu Province. This person had some knowledge but his knowledge was limited. He could only be regarded as a second-rate strategist. He was equivalent to a private advisor. He could help his lord figure out other people's thoughts but he was unreliable when it came to important matters.
Therefore, Escapist Liu Bei was used as a tool for many years. Tao Qian schemed against him. Lü Bu, with the help of Chen Gong, schemed against him. Guangling's Chen Deng's old man, Chen Gui, wanted to use Liu Bei as a shield. Unfortunately, Chen Gui died unjustly. Otherwise, Escapist Liu would not be able to escape from Xu Province. Such a master who lacked strategists naturally had red eyes when he saw Liu Mang's recruitment order. This was an expression of jealousy.
In the original timeline, Escapist Liu could only be regarded as a real strategist after he got Xu Shu. Later on, the only Xu Shu was poached by Old Cao. Therefore, Escapist Liu almost did not have a stable territory until he met Zhuge Liang in Long Zhong. Only then did he truly settled down and established the Kingdom of Shu with his territory.
Liu Bei held the recruitment order tightly. The two and a half strategists did not say a word. Liu Bei also did not want to ask. He knew how capable these two strategists were. He also wanted to be like Liu Mang and directly issue a recruitment order but he was afraid.
Liu Mang had the title of King Of Shu. He also had the support of his father-in-law, Lü Bu. Therefore, even if Liu Mang failed, he could still retreat. At worst, Lü Bu could stand up and scold Liu Mang. However, Liu Bei was different. He came out alone to make a living in Jianghu. It was not easy for him to beg his grandfather and grandmother for the title of Imperial Uncle. If he issued a recruitment order, then he would be finished. Originally, there were few people and few talents in his territory. If he offended the nobles, then Escapist Liu could forget about his great undertaking.
"Reporting, reporting to Milord. There is a black faced man outside the Administration Office. He wants to see Milord." Just when Liu Bei was feeling uneasy, a messenger ran in and reported to Liu Bei.
"Black faced man?" Liu Bei was in a state of confusion. How could he care about the black faced man. "Throw him out. I won't see him. "
"Milord. But, but this black faced man said that he has a plan to help Milord solve your problems." The messenger added because he was still holding onto the gold that the dark-faced man had given him.
"Plan to help Milord? What a big tone. " Jian Yong said in disdain. He, Jian Yong, had followed Liu Bei for so many years. Yet, he had never been able to come up with a plan to revive the Han Dynasty. Now, this black faced man who came out of nowhere had such a big tone.
"Milord. This person is so arrogant. Throw him out." Sun Qian also said. Not to mention whether this person was talented or not, if he was, then Sun Qian and Jian Yong's position in Liu Bei's army would be hard to say. If he was not talented, then it was fine to throw him out.
"Wait. Milord, Mi Zhu thinks that Milord should meet this person. " Mi Zhu was originally a merchant. He was the richest man in Xu Province. A merchant naturally had to travel all over the country. What kind of person had he not seen before? Generally speaking, someone who could say such words must be a madman. But don't forget. Normally, Madmen were all talented people!
"Hm?" Liu Bei frowned.
"Milord, what harm is there in taking a look? If this person is talented, then he can be of use to our army. If not, Milord can punish him for his arrogance. " "Mi Zhu's words are full of wisdom. He's included both situations!
"Good. Let him in." Liu Bei nodded. There was no loss in meeting someone.
Soon, a black faced man was brought in by the guards. He entered the hall arrogantly and bowed to Liu Bei. "Jing Province's Pang Tong, Pang Shiyuan, greets the Left General."
A month passed just like that. During this month, Hefei was once again filled with people. It was as if it had returned to its peaceful times. Most of the people who came and went were those who wore scholar's clothes. Their faces were pale, but they all looked at the governor's residence with bright eyes. There were even some who wore different styles of armor.
There were people from Cao Cao's Army, Jing Province's Liu Biao's Army, and even Sun Cejun's soldiers. These people came alone. Some of their faces were filled with killing intent. These were people who had experienced many battles. Some were naive, but there was hope in their eyes.
"Haha, these are the talents of my Great Han Dynasty." Liu Mang also wore ordinary clothes and walked among the commoners. Some of them were from Jing Province, some were from Yan Province. Liu Mang even noticed a few people from You Province and Bing Province. These people had the same accent as Lü Bu, Zhang Liao, and the others. That was why Liu Mang was able to recognize them. These people had come from all over the world after seeing the recruitment notice!
"Uncle Hong, have the inns been tidied up yet? Do you still have food?" Liu Mang said to Yang Hong. These people came because they saw his recruitment order. Most of them were from poor families, so they did not have much money. If you let them stay in the city, who knows how many of them will starve to death. Moreover, Hefei was originally a desolate place. Thus, Liu Mang took out the food that Lü Bu asked Liu Mang to bring.
"Family Head, everything is ready. In a few places in the city, there are troops from our army distributing rations! " Yang Hong also saw the liveliness in Hefei City. Some of the scholars looked like they were well-educated. Some of the generals were also courageous and powerful. He really did not expect that Liu Mang's recruitment notice would bring about such a response.
Tomorrow is the day of Liu Mang's competition. Liu Mang wants all of his civil and military officials. He can absorb all of them but he still needs to find some talented people. After all, they are generals! Naturally, they would compete in martial arts. There would also be martial arts practice. Some generals might not be good at martial arts, but they were good at marching and fighting. Gan Ning also needed people to assist him in the navy. This was because the number of troops had increased. Previously, with Su Fei, Gan Ning could handle the situation with ease. Now that Su Fei was gone, Gan Ning's 12,000 people would not be able to handle everything.
The scholar was naturally Lunce, who was good at strategizing and analyzing the current situation of the world. This was the real deal.
Just as the two of them were discussing, a crowd suddenly gathered in front of them. Roars could be heard from the crowd.
"What's going on?" Liu Mang frowned. The quarrel in front of him was getting louder and louder. When he got closer, he realized that it was a person wearing the armor of Liu Biao from Jing Province arguing with a general wearing a white robe. Liu Mang did not recognize the armor of the general. It was not the armor of the current feudal lords. Where did this armor come from? Cao Cao was a Water Virtue. Therefore, his generals mostly wore blue armor. Liu Bei and Liu Biao were Wood Virtue. Therefore, their soldiers wore green armor.
Lvbu's Army wore black armor. It was brought by Lü Bu from Bing Province.
For example, Yuan Shao was a Wood Virtue. Therefore, he wore yellow armor. However, the armor of the young general in front of him was white.
White armor and a white cloak. This was very rare. One must know that dark colors were the main color on the battlefield. This was because it was easy to get dust on the battlefield. If white was used, it would turn black. Therefore, dark colors were the main color. Moreover, white represented the white flag of surrender. Therefore, very few people used white except for one person. Liu Mang thought of an army.
