Xu Wen sighed twice and ordered Xu Zhigao: "You should lead troops out of the city to test it. It is naturally best if you can retake Shugang. If you can't, you can also inquire about the road situation. If it really doesn't work, you can only go north!"

"You guy understands it, leave the city immediately after you go back!" Xu Zhigao bowed and turned around and went out. Xu Wen looked at Xu Zhixun, who was kneeling on the ground, with blood on his face, and was upset. He didn't know what to say for a moment, so he went in and rested with the support of his wife. For a moment, only Xu Zhixun was left kneeling on the ground. He got up and threw away the towel presented by the maid next to him. His eyes were fierce, and his face was covered with blood, like an evil ghost. The remaining maid in the yard quickly took a few steps back and turned around and escaped into the house.

"The old guy is really crazy. He not only handed over all the military power to the cheap man, but also humiliated me in public. Could it be that he is the flesh and blood of that guy?" Xu Zhixun stood there and murmured to himself. The wound on his forehead had closed and no longer bleeding, but there were only bursts of burning pain. But at this time, Xu Zhixun did not feel any physical pain. The two blue veins on his temple were beating constantly, just like two drumsticks were constantly pounding. Suddenly, he paused, made up his mind, lowered his head and picked up the jade pendant on the ground and put it in his arms, and said hatefully: "You are unkind, I am unrighteous. Someone wants to see who is the ultimate thing!" After that, he quickly walked towards the outsider of the hospital.

Xu Zhigao returned to the military camp and immediately inspected his troops. He knew that the qualities of these new recruits were all evil young men in Guangling City, and the children of merchants. If they were stealing and bullying the weak, they would be unfavorable. But if they were wearing armor and facing each other with hands and blades, they would be respectful to thank Bumin. If he forced them to fight, he would be afraid that the Zhenhai Army would collapse as soon as they fought. It would be better to use profits and select a few desperate people as the selection. Since the Zhenhai Army crossed the river, they have been in a good way, and they are careless and caught off guard. So it would be more realistic.

Xu Zhigao ordered to take 10,000 pieces of silk cloth from the treasury, and all the money was listed beside him. The stacks looked very envious. The soldiers below couldn't help but striking. Although these people had some money in their families, they had never seen so much money and placed them in front of them. Many people were stunned. It turned out that since Yang Xingmi ruled Huainan, they had been thrifty and had left behind, and the family background was very tight. These were just a drop in the bucket. Anyway, if Zhenhaijun was invaded, it was someone else's, so it would be better to use it to inspire morale.

"You all see clearly that these are ten thousand pieces of silk and cloth, and the money is 100,000 guan!" Xu Zhigao pointed at the money and cloth beside him and said in a deep voice: "I want to recruit 300 selections, and these are rewards. After seeing the formation, no matter whether they are dead or alive, everyone has the same amount! How? Is there anyone who dares to come and get it in danger?"

Xu Zhigao's voice was like a spark falling into a powder barrel, and the noise was suddenly noisy. As the saying goes, "Wealth is red!" Most of the newly recruited soldiers are evil young men and children of the city in Guangling City. In modern Chinese, they are the children of social evil forces and merchants and handicraftsmen. These people who live in cities mainly rely on commodity economy are different from farmers. They have a better understanding of the power of money and have a stronger desire to obtain money. Although they are clever and cannot compete with the simple farmers in persistence, they can be supplemented by greed. After a while, a man with a green cloth head rushed out of the ranks and said loudly: "If a certain family applies for recruitment, will the property be revealed?"

"Of course, I always speak like a mountain. If you apply for a hero, you will report to become a monk. Naturally, someone will send it to your home and bring the receipt back."

The man with green cloth head looked at the mountains of cloth and copper coins piled up on the wooden platform. His throat couldn't help but feel a rush. Finally, he couldn't stand the temptation of money and silk, and shouted: "Well, a certain family is Qu Wu from Dexingfang, so I will count it!"

"Okay!" Xu Zhigao smiled. Of course, some subordinates came forward and recorded Naquwu's address. He immediately took the money and silk and put it in a small cart, and sent it to the military camp. He was sure to be sent to the home of the recruited man. Dexingfang was not far from the military camp, but in just half a cup of tea, the soldiers who sent the money and silk came back and brought a receipt for Naquwu. After investigation, they stopped.

Seeing that it was indeed not deceiving, many arrogant men came forward to apply for the recruitment. After the clerk recorded his name and address, he sent his wealth to his home one by one and brought the recycling slips for investigation. Seeing that the pile of money and silk on the wooden platform quickly faded, a black-faced man of seventeen or eighteen years old in the ranks became more and more jealous. He was about to come forward to apply for the recruitment, but he felt his right sleeve tightening. When he looked back, he was pulled by a young man of similar age. He was his playmate Heng Si in the same house, and he couldn't help but say anxiously: "You're trying to do something, but you didn't see that the money and silk on the platform were almost gone."

"Hmph! I won't pull you and let you die!" Na Hengwu snorted coldly, but he didn't put it in his hand: "I know you like Mu Sanniang, who bought Hu cakes in the next house for a long time. She wants to use this money to propose marriage, but Hu San used your black head to think about it. What kind of guys are those generals? They don't even want to give more cakes on weekdays. Now that I'm so generous, is this money easy to get? You are not afraid of making money but not going to propose marriage."

Hu San couldn't help but hesitate when he heard this, but when he looked at the money left in the stands, Mu Sanniang's pretty face seemed to appear in front of him. He couldn't help but feel warm and said in a low voice: "It's just an elected leader, and it's not necessarily a death. I am a man who is usually the first to be a prostitute in the field. I can handle three or five people if I use a stick. Zhenhaibing is also raised by his parents in life. If you let it go, whoever is afraid of whom may say that a certain family cannot make a fortune this time."

When Hengwu heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and cry, "Hu San, Hu San! You think this is a sumo of the rage on the street, and you took a knife and killed three or five people after a long time. This is a confrontation between the two armies, with spears like forests and arrows like rain. It's a hole when you stab it. There are veterans who have fought for more than ten years. We are all the balls! If you don't believe it, there is Boss Xue from Dongcheng. You know his ability, but they don't even have such ability, so how dare you go?"

When Hu San heard this, he turned his head and looked in the direction of Hengwu's finger. He saw a man with a beard standing seventeen or eighteen steps away. There was a scar about an inch long on his right cheek, which made his face look ferocious. It was the famous ranger Xue in Dongcheng, Guangling and even Huainan. The boss Xue was surrounded by twenty or thirty soldiers, looking coldly at the soldiers recruited on the wooden platform not far away, with a hooked corner of his mouth and a sneer on his face.

Seeing that Boss Xue did not apply as Heng Wu said, Hu San couldn't help but feel relieved. Boss Xue had more than 200 people under him, and he had to respect him for every business in Guangling City for ten months. He was the object of worship and envy of the two evil young men in the market. This time, he saw that the other party was not optimistic about this matter, Hu San had to give up, his face full of regret: "This is such a big fortune! It's a pity!"

Xu Zhigao saw that he had recruited 300 people on the wooden platform, and he couldn't help but feel happy. He had seen it carefully on the stage. Most of these 300 people were tall and fast, and they should be strong in the army. If they were armed with elite armor and sharp soldiers, they attacked Shugang at night, if it was beneficial, they would attack with large troops. If it was unfavorable, they could also explore the defense of the Qing Zhenhai soldiers on Shugang, and prepare for the next step of escape. At this time, he had no hope of repelling the siege of Zhenhai Army, but he could only take one step in this dangerous city. Anyway, he had a deep hatred with Lu Fang, and either died in battle or escaped. Surrender was definitely impossible. After seeing that everything was done, Xu Zhigao ordered his subordinates to let these selections use some wine and meat, and he went on a carriage and prepared to go to the royal palace to inspect Mrs. Shi and Yang Longyan who were under house arrest.

Xu Zhigao sat on the carriage and couldn't help but doze off. During this period, when Xu Wen recovered from his injuries, Yan Keqiu went to Zhou Ben again. All the big and small things in Guangling City were pressed on him, making him exhausted. This was not Xu Zhigao's possession of power, but during this period, Xu Wen lost consecutively and cruelly suppressed the country. The former powerful Huainan army had already shown signs of collapse. For example, Liu Jin, Zhu Jin, Li Yu, Li Jian and other former heroes turned against each other and surrendered to Zhenhai Army. At this time, except for these confidants and blood relatives, Xu Wen was really unable to let go.

Just as Xu Zhigao was sleeping in a daze, he suddenly heard a quarrel from the outside. He woke up immediately and asked in a deep voice: "Where are you? Who is the quarrel outside?"

The curtain of the carriage was opened, and the accompanying captain replied respectfully: "Report to the Major General that he has arrived outside the Hongnong Palace. It is General Xu Hu and Prince Zhixun who are arguing."

"What? Why did the two of them start to argue?" Xu Zhixun was slightly stunned when he heard this, then he got up and came down to take the chariot. He saw two people in front of the palace not far away, and one of them wrapped a circle of white cloth on his forehead. Xu Zhixun was broken by Xu Wen in the morning. From a distance, it was Xu Zhixun who wanted to enter the palace but was stopped by Xu Hu, so the two started arguing.

Xu Zhigao rushed forward, and was still four or five steps away, and then he heard Xu Zhixun's loud voice: "You guy is just a dog from our Xu family. Now he has relied on the power of outsiders and barked at his master. It's really hateful!"
