Chapter 57 Winning
It was another three days before Yao Ping asked Zuo Houde to screen all the unsuccessful warriors, and then went to convey Zuo Houde's meaning. This time it was still very smooth. Except for a few people, most of the others agreed.
On the second day, on the school field, Zuo Houde looked at the more than 200 guards he selected. These guards were not simply helping him block the sword on the battlefield.
Zuo Houde was about to train these personal guards to become his confidants, and he would be placed in the army as the garrison commander in a year or two, leading the team to Sima. At that time, Zuo Houde would completely control the army from the foundation.
Zuo Houde looked at them, and they also looked at Zuo Houde, more than 200 people, each with admiration in his eyes. The impression left on them by Zuo Houde on that day was too deep.
Zuo Houde looked at them and said, "You are all elite soldiers in the army and warriors in the army. It is my honor to be able to choose you. You are chosen by me, which is enough to prove your excellence!"
Listening to Zuo Houde's words, more than 200 people present looked happy, after all, they were recognized by Zuo Houde.
After Zuo Houde finished speaking, he continued, "I asked you to be my personal guards, and at the same time I also wanted you to improve yourself. You should learn from each other and learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses. The promise I can give you is that you can learn a lot in my personal guard camp."
These are not what Zuo Houde said nonsense. Zuo Houde is ready. He wants to treat this personal guard camp as an officer training camp, an ancient "Whampoa Military Academy."
Zuo Houde has prepared experienced generals in the army and the captains will teach them. Of course, Zuo Houde also has his own little thoughts. When he invites people to teach these personal guards, Zuo Houde can also take this opportunity to bring closer relationships with the captains and generals in the army, and turn the army into a whole.
...
Military camp, Zuo Houde's big tent.
Zuo Houde looked at the seven generals in front of him, smiled and said, "I want to improve the quality of the heroes in my personal guard camp in the near future. Today, he recruited various generals, but Zuo has something to ask for!"
Before the rest of the people could speak, Li Yu patted his chest and said, "General, you said that the last general and others must have responded."
Hearing Li Yu's words, the other six people spoke one after another, saying that they could do it too.
Zuo Houde looked at Li Yu as he became more friendly, and Zuo Houde said in his heart: "Li Yu can try to convince him!"
Just as he was thinking in his heart, Zuo Houde still had a smile on his face, so he spoke: "There is no need for this to happen to the generals. I just want to invite a few generals to my personal guard camp from time to time to teach those soldiers. The generals have been in the army for many years, so they are naturally full of experience!"
Several people even said they didn't dare to do so. They knew the truth if they could achieve this position in the army. Zuo Houde trained his personal guards, and they also meant to be the one who could take over the leader when they went.
Zuo Houde didn't expect this just now, of course, because Zuo Houde was not afraid of others' overlords, but they didn't dare to say that, so Zuo Houde was not in trouble. Anyway, Zuo Houde's target was not them.
Zuo Houde continued, "Of course, the generals don't have time, but most of them have capable lieutenants and Sima. Please recommend one or two to me."
This is Zuo Houde's goal. The captain in the camp and Sima can be said to be the mainstay in the army. Zuo Houde just looked for an opportunity to pull them into his camp.
At this time, these generals no longer refused. Everyone began to bow their heads and ponder. They wanted to have the right candidate, but Li Yu said first: "General, the last general has a Sima, two captains, both of whom are good at fighting. At the same time, they have been in the army for more than ten years, and they are all experienced!"
The other generals also spoke one by one: "General, I have a captain under my command..."
Zuo Houde sat in the center and listened to them, and then Zuo Houde asked them to take people to the personal guard camp tomorrow to report.
After saying this, Zuo Houde began to say: "Since I came to the military camp, I rarely get close to you. Tonight, I will hold a banquet at the mansion. I will also ask you all to come!"
Everyone didn't know what kind of pipe Zuo Houde was selling, but they didn't dare to refuse the banquet when his boss held a banquet.
...
At night, Zuo Houde's mansion was in the upper position, while the seven generals sat in the lower position.
Zuo Houde first picked up a glass of wine and said, "Everyone, we are fortunate to work together. Zuo also needs all colleagues to take care of you in the future. Zuo is fortunate to do it first!" After that, Zuo Houde picked up the glass and drank it all.
The few generals in the lower rank did not dare to be arrogant, and everyone drank a drink for a while.
Next, Zuo Houde began to chat about family matters with the generals present. After drinking for three rounds, everyone gradually let go of their usual differences and started chatting about each other's past.
Zuo Houde often listened to their chatting, and interjected one or two sentences from time to time, making everyone feel at home.
Zuo Houde also gradually knew about the generals. Not to mention the local people in Dingcheng, the other three were actually civilians and climbed up step by step with their own efforts.
Of course, Zuo Houde didn't think clearly that Dingcheng is the frontier, and people with real extraordinary backgrounds will come here!
At this point, Zuo Houde slowly asked the servants on both sides to retreat, then looked at the generals in the seat and said, "Several generals! Zuo wants to set up a chamber of commerce with several generals."
When the people here heard Zuo Houde's words, the few people who came from Dingcheng were a little calm, but the other three were all happy.
Zuo Houde saw the performance of everyone present. He understood that the few people from Dingcheng had a chamber of commerce at home. At this time, he was afraid that Zuo Houde would compete with them for business, but the other three people usually had no extra income, but they were happy when they heard Zuo Houde's words.
Zuo Houde said again: "Li Yu, you and the four generals have chambers of commerce at home, I understand your concerns about waiting!"
Just as Li Yu was about to say something, Zuo Houde interrupted him again and continued, "The generals here can represent the entire Dingcheng. A chamber of trade will have seven people, and we will be able to do business more boldly and make more money."
As soon as Zuo Houde said this, a light of inspiration flashed in Li Yu and the other two. They naturally understood what Zuo Houde meant. There were many prohibited items in this north-south business trip. Usually these items were searched by border troops, but if the border troops participated, it would be ten times or a hundred times the profit!
Suddenly, the group decided to set up a chamber of commerce. Zuo Houde accounted for 40%, and he contributed money and efforts. The four people in Dingcheng accounted for 10%, and the other three people divided the remaining 20%.
Chapter completed!
