"Xu Rong doesn't plan to surrender yet?"

Chu Tian recently conquered Le Yi and Zhou Cang, and there are many powerful generals, but he still can't conquer Xu Rong.

Xu Rong was quite loyal to Dong Zhuo, but was still struggling in his heart.

Chu Tian originally planned to let Xu Rong assist Hua Mulan in commanding a guerrilla army of 8,000 cavalry, but Xu Rong was unwilling to surrender, and Chu Tian really had nothing to do with him.

"This national war can only bring 10,000 people. You can recruit troops locally, but you may not be able to recruit doctors. Recruit doctors throughout Xuzhou, starting with mid-level doctors, preferably senior doctors or special doctors. Subsidies and pensions will be provided during the national war.

gold."

In addition to soldiers going into battle, Chutian also had to consider the candidates for doctors.

Without doctors, the mortality rate among wounded soldiers was high.

"It's not just doctors, the content of the order for seeking talents is extended to any special talents, and the real meritocracy is adopted."

Chu Tian emphasized this point. Although the governors of various counties tried their best to keep talents in their territories, there would always be fish that slipped through the net.

Chutian also needs to determine the candidates for the expedition.

With ten thousand people, how to select candidates for the expedition must be carefully considered.

"Lord, Pengcheng has surrendered!"

When Chu Tian was considering the issue of national war, Zhou Yafu, Xue Rengui, and Li Guang had already occupied all the land of Pengcheng Kingdom.

In this way, Chutian owned the land of the four kingdoms: Langya Kingdom, Donghai Kingdom, Xiapi Kingdom, and Pengcheng Kingdom.

Only Guangling County was left in Xuzhou.

"The lord of Guangling County plans to participate in the national war. If the army is sent to attack, the terrain of Guangling County is harsh and the famous general Yang Ye will not be able to capture it for a while. By then Guangling County will be protected by the system, which will be even more troublesome."

Chu Tian originally planned to conquer Guangling County in one go, but considering the current situation, he could only temporarily stop the pace of expansion and consolidate the four counties.

Guangling County could only wait for the second national war before annexing it.

The content of the order for seeking talents was expanded, and it was posted in all counties and counties in Xuzhou first. The lord's mansion not only recruited civil servants and military generals, but also any type of talents!

Any type of talent can self-recommend to make up for the shortcomings of the imperial examination system.

"The lord's palace recruits doctors, especially those of intermediate level and above. Those who participate in the national war will receive three times the salary during the period! The pension will be thirty times the salary!"

In order to recruit better doctors, Chutian tried to improve the doctors' remuneration as much as possible.

If you participate in a national war, you will die and cannot be resurrected. If you want to participate in a national war, you must have both skills and the courage to face death.

Many mid-level doctors and doctors above mid-level have applied for this job.

"Meritocracy..."

A doctor in his forties saw a request for talent posted by the county government and went to a nearby government office.

During this period, the star observatory in Xia City was built, and Chu Tian went back to pay homage to this building.

The observatory consists of two parts: the star platform body and the stone observatory.

The height of the star platform is 9.46 meters, and the height of the small room on the top of the platform is 12.62 meters. The top sides are each 8 meters long, and the base sides are each 16 meters long. It is equipped with a Zhougong surveying platform, floating leakage, main plan, Yang instrument, landscape symbols, sundial, etc.

Ancient astronomical instruments.

The Shigui is used to measure the length of the sun's shadow, also known as the "Sky Measurement Ruler". It is made of 36 square bluestone slabs laid out one after another, with a brick base at the bottom. The Shigui is meters long, 0.53 meters wide, 0.56 meters high at the south end, and 0.56 meters high at the north end.

Height 0.62 meters.

This observatory is an astronomical building from the Yuan Dynasty. When Chu Tian saw the astronomical building designed by the ancients, he couldn't help but marvel at the wisdom of the ancients.

It was possible to design such an observatory based on the conditions at the time, which was already the pinnacle of astronomical technology at that time.

The observatory can provide help in formulating the lunar calendar, thereby increasing agricultural output. Not only agriculture, but also explaining astronomical phenomena for rulers, using astronomical phenomena to consolidate the ruler's status and enhance the ruler's majesty.

Xiacheng already has two special buildings, the Confucian Temple and the Star Observatory.

"My lord, there is someone who claims to be a top doctor and came here after reading the order seeking talents."

Chu Tian was marveling at the ingenuity of ancient astronomical technology, and someone came to tell him about recruiting talents.

Special physician?!

Chu Tian was a little surprised. He didn't expect that a top doctor would come to seek refuge.

"Invite him to come to see me."

Chutian is equally polite to special talents.

Some special talents give great bonuses to the territory.

A middle-aged man was brought near the observatory. He took one look at the spectacular observatory and couldn't help but praise it in his heart.

"I'm going to Huayuanhua."

Before Chu Tian could ask any more questions, the visitor should give his or her name.

Hua...Hua Tuo?

How did the Qi Xian Order explode the miracle doctor Hua Tuo?

Chu Tian tried to recruit this miracle doctor: "It is my great fortune that Yuan Hua comes to serve me."

Hua Tuo shook his head: "No. I heard the order to seek talents and wanted to save lives and heal the wounded, so I just wanted to do my part."

Chu Tian probably understood what Hua Tuo meant. He only came to participate in the national war and do his best for the soldiers of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He had no intention of seeking refuge with Chu Tian.

Hua Tuo was a wanderer and would not easily become an official. When he was young, the Prime Minister Chen Gui promoted him to be filial and honest, and the Taiwei Huang Wanpi did not accept him. From then on, he traveled around the world, treating people's illnesses, and he was of high moral character.

"Then please stay here, sir. The soldiers will definitely suffer a lot of casualties in the battle. I have asked people to recruit all the capable people in Xuzhou. Maybe you can meet like-minded people."

Facing the legendary miraculous doctor Hua Tuo, even if Hua Tuo is unwilling to become an official, Chu Tian will try to keep him and provide for him. If an important subordinate has a problem in the future, at least he can find a famous doctor to treat him, so that he will not be helpless.

Hua Tuo was not very afraid when facing Zhou Mu: "I'm sorry to trouble you, Master Zhou Mu."

Special talents always have quirks of one kind or another. Chu Tian did not force Hua Tuo to become an official.

Cao Cao has proven to Chu Tian that forcing Hua Tuo will not help.

For such wandering people, it is best to show kindness. They are grateful for kindness and will most likely help them once they are asked for help.

Chutian ordered people to prepare a good private house for Hua Tuo to live in Xia City. Hua Tuo was so flattered that he declined the offer and only chose an ordinary private house.

Chutian listed Hua Tuo on the list to participate in the Second National War.

If other army doctors could learn skills from Hua Tuo, it would be a good deal.

Hua Tuo's grade can no longer be distinguished by low-level, intermediate, high-level, and special levels. He was one of the miracle doctors in the Eastern Han Dynasty and a special talent in historical facts.

Along with Hua Tuo, there are Bian Que, Zhang Zhongjing, Sun Simiao, Li Shizhen and others.

"One Hua Tuo, five senior doctors, fifteen mid-level doctors, and several low-level doctors."

Chu Tian determined the list and number of doctors accompanying the army.

In addition to doctors, there were hundreds of military craftsmen who made siege equipment.

The logistics team Chutian does not need to carry it, because there are towns and villages in the national war battlefield, and supplies can be obtained from local towns and villages.

Physicians, military craftsmen, horsemen, foremen, and other miscellaneous logistics personnel accounted for a large proportion.

Chu Tian has basically decided on the candidates to participate in the second national war.

Before determining the candidates to participate in the battle, the first step is to determine the candidates for the guardianship.

Xia Liang, Li Kui, Mi Zhu, Chen Deng, Chen Gui and others were left by Chu Tian to preside over Xuzhou's internal affairs.

Chu Tian suspected that Xia Liang was a hidden military god and originally wanted to take him to fight the national war, but he needed someone to guard Xuzhou.

The aristocratic families in Xuzhou are not as peaceful as they appear. Chu Tian is worried that Xuzhou will change if he returns from participating in the national war, so he must leave the elders of the Langya Kingdom to suppress the aristocratic families in Xuzhou.

In addition to civil servants, there were also military generals who stayed behind.

During the National War, the four counties of Xuzhou were protected by the system and did not need to leave too many generals.

But Chutian has two issues to consider.

First, the possibility of internal rebellion in Xuzhou. It was during the period of changes in Xuzhou, and people were in panic. Xia Liang, who was guarding the family, needed an army to deter the aristocratic family and not give the aristocratic family a chance to cause chaos.

Secondly, Cao Cao was still confronting the anti-Cao Cao alliance in Yanzhou. Chu Tian was worried that Cao Cao would rise during the Second National War, so he wanted to leave an army to support the anti-Cao Cao alliance and continue to suppress Cao Cao.

Chu Tian saw the rise of Cao Cao and became his powerful enemy.

If a war breaks out between Xuzhou and Yanzhou, it's hard to say who will win.

Chu Tian decided to leave Zhou Yafu, who was good at disgusting enemies, to guard the home and support the anti-Cao Cao alliance.

The recently conquered reckless general Zhou Cang served as Zhou Yafu's bodyguard to make up for Zhou Yafu's lack of force.

Le Yi is good at attacking cities. Chu Tian must take Le Yi to participate in the national war, otherwise it will be difficult to capture the town.

The National War was also Le Yi's pledge.

Zang Ba and Sun Guan continued to guard the northern part of Langya Kingdom and peeked at Beihai Kingdom.

Li Xiuning's Women's Army was originally the force Chu Tian planned to use to defend his home, but this time Chu Tian wanted to take her with him.

Li Xiuning has strong morale-boosting characteristics and can make a comeback from desperate situations. Moreover, the recruitment conditions for Li Xiuning's sixth-level unit, the Detachment of Women, are not that harsh.
