Chapter 609: Recruitment Difficulty
Liu Bei set up hundreds of recruiting points in several cities, and they started recruiting at the same time. It is estimated that they can recruit 60,000 people within two days, and then they will have an army of 100,000.
Start early in the morning to fix the recruiting points.
After half an hour, only a few people came to apply.
"No, why are there so few?" The difference in the number was too large, which made them very surprised.
It can be said that almost no one came to the recruiting sites, and it was deserted. This is not the scene that recruiting should have at all.
Several responsible leaders felt that something was wrong. At first they thought that something was wrong with them, so they hurried to a nearby point to have a look.
"Oh, Commander Mu, you don't even have a shadow of anyone here."
"I'm also surprised, Commander Xu, it's not that we haven't recruited soldiers and horses. We used to be crowded with people, but why is there no one here?"
The two felt strange, and hurriedly went to other places to look again, but the results were still the same, and few people came.
"Commander Mu, could someone be making trouble?" Commander Xu felt strange, as he had never encountered such a thing.
"It must be, maybe the spies left behind by Zhang Yu are doing the trick."
When the two discussed it, they felt that it was too strange, and they had never encountered a rich man who couldn't recruit soldiers.
"Commander Mu, why don't we send people to publicize on the street and put out the copper coins? I don't think Zhang Yudu's spies dare to come out publicly to fight against them. If they really dare to come out, we will arrest them then." Commander Xu Du Said.
"Okay, let's go publicize now."
We had to find a way, and we couldn't keep stalemate like this, so the two each sent their own troops to promote.
The soldiers divided into groups of several people, and then went to the surrounding streets, and they propagated along the way.
"Hey, hey, why are you hiding, come and take a look, take a look."
"Master Liu has recruited troops. Master Liu knows that he is an elder with top moral character."
"Our Master Liu loves the people like a son, and joins him under his command,
Absolutely. "
"Our military pay is very high...don't go, listen to me."
A few soldiers tried their best to promote it, but no one paid attention to them, and they all avoided them.
This made them very strange. Recruiting was very popular in the past, but this time it made them very puzzled.
Youdu soldiers took to the street with a load of copper coins.
"Come, come, look, look."
"Recruiting, recruiting, once hired, the settlement allowance will be issued immediately."
"Come on, I don't want it when it's full, I don't want it when it's full."
"Brother, come and have a look."
The soldiers went to the streets to publicize, but the effect was still there. In half a day, more than 200 new soldiers were recruited in a city.
Yes, more than 200 recruits were recruited, and the other cities were similar, and they couldn't recruit many people.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei almost jumped up when they heard the news.
In the past, when they recruited soldiers and horses, they didn't need to go out on their own at all, they just needed to grasp the overall situation.
Now this time, it's really weird.
When Guan Yu heard the news, he immediately took people out to check the news.
Guan Yu began to investigate the reason, and walked around the capital he was in charge of, and found that it was not his soldiers who had problems, but other problems.
But Guan Yu didn't understand why it was so difficult to recruit troops here.
Is it really the people left behind by Zhang Yu who play a role?
Even if it is, it can only be a small part of the effect, and it is absolutely impossible that they cannot find soldiers and horses in various places.
This is too abnormal.
Guan Yu sent someone to contact Zhang Fei and reported to Liu Bei.
The situation with Zhang Fei was the same. They only recruited more than a hundred people in one day.
If this is normal, not to mention tens of thousands, there are also several thousand.
Guan Yu went out and walked around, it was already dark, and the recruitment could only be carried out the next day, but the results of the whole day today made him feel very unhappy.
Zhang Feitian rushed to find Guan Yu as soon as it got dark.
"Second brother, you said that the evil school is not evil, and you recruit more than a hundred people a day. How can we explain to the eldest brother?" Zhang Fei said.
Guan Yu didn't answer, stroked his beard and thought quietly.
He also didn't understand how easy it was to recruit troops, and he didn't know how many people wanted to come as soon as he said hello.
But here, they sent people to the street to shout for a long time, but the result was still so bleak.
"Third brother, send more sergeants to recruit tomorrow, and let some soldiers who are excited to disguise themselves as ordinary people to inquire about the news. We must find out the reason." Guan Yu couldn't figure out why for a long time.
Zhang Fei was also in a hurry, he had never seen such a weird thing before.
The next day, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei went to the recruiting site in person early in the morning.
Same as the day before, the scene was still deserted, but there were many people passing by, but at most they just glanced over and ignored them, as if they didn't exist.
"General, most of the more than 200 people recruited yesterday have not come, and even the settlement fee has been refunded."
In the morning, when the soldiers reported the situation to Guan Yu, Guan Yu's red face was almost turning black.
After finally recruiting more than 200 people, after one night, none of these people came.
If it weren't for the fear of Liu Bei's reputation being damaged, he would have wanted to lead people to arrest these people, which was really irritating.
But in the end Guan Yu endured it.
Liu Bei is still counting materials in one place and one place, and there are too many things in several cities.
Liu Bei didn't take the information from Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to heart. He believed that it was normal for the people here to be afraid and resistant to these cities they had just conquered.
It will be fine in two days.
The most important thing for him now is to collect the scraps, count all the materials here, and then sell them, so that he can have money to recruit troops and expand his strength.
Liu Bei is quite active, not only making quick statistics, but also sending people to contact buyers.
Many of the materials in it are not directly usable, and must be sold to make money.
But Liu Bei is not worried, the things here are all hard currency, so he doesn't worry about not being able to sell them.
After some statistics, Liu Bei was very happy.
"If you can break into Jiangdong, then it's really a shot."
Liu Bei's heart was a little turbulent, he alone would never be able to invade Jiangdong, but now there are Sun Ce and Yuan Shu, if they invade Jiangdong, then Liu Bei can also take advantage of the opportunity.
Liu Bei has been poor for half of his life. He only had a straw mat at the beginning, and all the equipment was fooled. If he can grab it this time, he will naturally not give up.
Liu Bei thought about how to strengthen himself, happily counting supplies everywhere.
However, what he didn't know was that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had been investigating for a long time, and their faces were getting darker and darker.
After investigating for a long time, there was no Zhang Yu left here, and the spies were making trouble. It was entirely for other reasons. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei didn't know what to say, let alone what to do.
The two of them planned to let the soldiers go out to collect information more, and then report to Liu Bei at night. The strongest system to dominate the Three Kingdoms
