One night, on a main road in Changshan County, Zhang Yu and his 5000 men, Ma Lian, marched at night.
This time, instead of making a big fuss, they put on the armor they had captured from Jizhou army.
Armed with Jizhou, Zhang Yu did not cause any trouble when they walked on the road.
In the daytime, Zhang Yu and his family are still on the road.
"Lord, these Jizhou people's brains are worse than mine. We've been walking all day, but no one has come to ask." On the way, Dianwei said contemptuously.
Zhang Yu said: "now everyone knows that we have gone to Zhongshan. It's estimated that Hansheng and Zilong will have a lot of news. No one will think that we are wearing Jizhou clothes, but we have already gone to Zhongshan."
Zhang Yu and his family had a very smooth journey, but they didn't find out for a day.
In the evening, Zhang Yu and his family arrived outside a county.
"Evil come, be prepared. Once they find out, they will kill them. If they are not found out, we will stay here for two days." Close to the county seat, Zhang Yu said to Dianwei.
Dianwei nodded and quietly ordered the whole army to get ready.
Outside the county, the gates have not been closed.
Zhang Yu and a few people came forward and saw a few people running out of the city.
"Meet the general. What can I do for you? Can I help you?" A young general ran over and said.
Zhang Yu clasped his hands to Tian Yi and said, "by the Lord's order, come to recruit soldiers and let your county magistrate prepare food and grass."
"Yes, I dare to ask the name of the general, but I have a certificate. I will report it to the magistrate immediately." Said the young man.
Zhang Yu reluctantly took out a special token from his arms, and then said: "I'm in xiamufan. I have something important to do. I can't stay here too long. Let your county magistrate prepare all night."
The young general took the token to inspect for a while, then respectfully returned it to Zhang Yu, and then quickly let the soldiers around him go in and report.
"General, inside, inside." The young general quickly invited Zhang Yu in.
Zhang Yu looks back at Dian Wei and asks him to put away his weapon in secret, so as not to be discovered by the enemy.
I went to the city smoothly.
Shortly after entering the city, the county magistrate rushed over with a dozen people.
"General mu, if you lose it, welcome it far away. If you lose it, welcome it far away." The county magistrate said enthusiastically.
Zhang Yu is still frozen face, nodded and said: "county magistrate, official business in the body, the Lord urged more urgent, Zhang Yu that thief in our Jizhou trouble, and Gongsun Zan has a change, the Lord specially ordered me to come here to recruit troops, also hope the county magistrate cooperate."
"Sure, sure. Please don't worry, general mu. " The county magistrate quickly promised that the officials behind him should also be with each other.
The county magistrate is also well-informed. I've heard that all parts of Jizhou are recruiting soldiers, so it's no surprise that Yuan Shao sent people here to recruit soldiers.
"Thank you, magistrate." Zhang Yu said.
"No, it's our duty." Said the magistrate.
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "OK, when I go back, I will have a good word with my Lord."
"Well, well, well, thank you, general wood." The county magistrate's smiling face almost turned into a flower.
"General mu, I've prepared a banquet. I want to invite general Mu to my humble abode for a few drinks. I don't know about general mu..."
The magistrate invited Zhang Yu to the banquet at this time.
Zhang Yu was stunned for a moment. He didn't think about it before.
"County magistrate, I have urgent business. It's really inconvenient. My Lord asked me to recruit 20000 soldiers in the surrounding area. Please forgive me. But I can't be ungrateful for your kindness. I'd better wait until I come back from the recruitment, pass by here and ask for a drink from the county magistrate."
The magistrate was disappointed at first, but he was surprised to hear that Zhang Yu wanted to recruit 20000 soldiers.
"I heard that a son of the wood family was liked by the Lord. It's true that he was given such an important task." The county magistrate's heart was invigorated.
Zhang Yu pretended to use Mufan's name. Of course, he didn't take it casually, but he seized the token on the battlefield. The owner of the token was Mufan.
Zhang Yu did not expect that Mufan was a member of a small family in Jizhou. Although the magistrate had never seen him, he had heard some news, so he was so enthusiastic about Zhang Yu.
The county magistrate wanted to flatter Zhang Yu, so he said: "general Mu's task is so heavy, I really can't delay. I can help general mu."
Zhang Yu was surprised. He didn't expect the magistrate to cooperate so much, so he asked, "what does the magistrate mean?"
"General mu, I'm familiar with several counties around. I'll send an official letter to them to make them ready. In this way, when the general goes, he can start to recruit troops. He can even make them prepare food and grass, camp and strong men first. When the general goes, it's much easier to do things."
Zhang Yu said with great joy: "so you can help the magistrate."
Zhang Yu is very happy. With the official letter sent by the magistrate, the credibility of his identity will increase a lot, and it will be very smooth at that time.
Zhang Yu quickly promised that after he went back, he would say a few good words to Yuan Shao for him, which made the county magistrate fly.
The magistrate didn't doubt Zhang Yu's identity, so he wrote an official letter immediately after he went back.
Zhang Yu and his family lived in the city, and the food and grass were provided by the county magistrate.
One day later, the county magistrate still did not suspect him, and the recruitment was very smooth.
In order to create a busy and tense atmosphere, after Zhang Yu's recruitment, Zhang Yu naturally doesn't want to stay, so he directly collects his things and prepares to leave.
The county magistrate quickly took his staff to see him off.
"General mu, when you come back, you must come to our county. Our county will treat general Mu well." Said the magistrate.
"Ha ha, the county magistrate is so enthusiastic that I don't know how to praise him. If it wasn't for the emergency of the war, I'd like to live with you for a few days." Zhang Yu said.
Zhang Yu takes people to leave, and the magistrate is also very intentional. He takes his men to send them three miles away to leave.
"Ha ha, Lord, it's really interesting. I didn't expect that the magistrate was so useless. He took us as his uncle." After leaving, pawey laughed with pride.
"Hey, when the magistrate knew our identity, he didn't know what expression it would be."
Zhang Yu also speechless, did not expect that he would be Jizhou officials so warm hospitality.
However, this also makes it a lot easier for Zhang Yu.
The nearest county is about two and a half days away. Zhang Yu takes people to move forward.
