Chu Tian looked around at everyone. His civil servants and staff were getting bigger and bigger.

The counselors include Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui as his right-hand men, and the internal affairs include Li Kui, Zhang Zhao, Chen Gui, Mi Zhu, Wang Lang, Zhao Yu and others. It can be said that there are many talents.

This group of counselors is divided into two factions, the non-local group represented by Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Li Kui, and the Xuzhou Family Group represented by Zhang Zhao, Chen Gui, Mi Zhu, Wang Lang, and Zhao Yu.

The average quality of talents in non-local groups is extremely high, and each of them is famous, but Xuzhou Shijia Group has more talents and has huge influence in Xuzhou.

Strong dragons cannot overwhelm local snakes, and Xuzhou Shijia Group has the upper hand.

However, Chutian is on the side of the non-local group, so the non-local group with Chutian's support can overpower the Xuzhou Shijia Group.

Taking stock of the internal affairs talents he had, he found that his civil servants were from Wei, Wu, and Shu. Chu Tian always felt that something was missing.

"Help me find out how old Zhuge Liang is and whether he is still in Taishan County at this time."

Chu Tian thought that he was missing Zhuge Liang, so he took the initiative to contact Xue Yue, who was responsible for inquiring about information among the players.

Xue Yue has always been famous among players. Although she is not a core figure in Chu Tian's forces, Chu Tian still relies on her to find out information sometimes.

"Taishan County is involved in the war between the Yanzhou coalition forces and Cao Cao. What are the details? I will report to you after I find out the detailed information."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Chutian rarely uses players as his subordinates, but it does not mean that he does not reuse players, such as Xia Liang and Xue Yue. Moreover, many middle and low-level officials in Xuzhou are from players, even if there are players in the army who are generals.

.

Chu Tian tried to make three new heroes, the swordsmith Mo Xie, the pirate ship king Zheng Zhilong, and the prime minister Du Ruhui, integrate into the civil servants and generals of Xuzhou.

And Xia Liang was entrusted with a new task by him - to arrange and win over the representative hero of France, Joan of Arc, to serve Xuzhou.

"Hmph, the lord actually wants his woman to place another woman..."

Xia Liang was a little helpless about this task.

Although Catherine was not brought back to the Eastern Han Dynasty by Chu Tian, ​​Chu Tian brought back Joan of Arc from France, a French girl who was not aware of the dangers of the world.

Xia Liang was quite surprised at first when he learned that Joan of Arc was captured by Chu Tian.

"This is the temporary house our lord has prepared for you in Xiapi. It faces north and south..."

Xia Liang brought Joan of Arc to her residence and introduced her to the layout of the house. She talked about it in detail, showing that she was more educated than ordinary generals.

Joan of Arc's eyes flickered.

She learned that the woman in front of her, Miss Xia, had a high status in the eyes of the lord. If she took Miss Xia as a hostage, the lord might let her return to France.

Joan of Arc is considering whether to hold Xia Liang hostage.

"Um?"

Xia Liang noticed something strange about Joan of Arc and glanced at Joan of Arc randomly.

Jeanne felt nervous.

Probably seeing Joan's thoughts, Xia Liang sighed quietly: "My lord has given you the status of a free citizen of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which is completely different from the servant army. I have arranged a place for you and entertained you like this. I also regard you as a good sister. You

But they want to hijack me, the farmer and the snake, is this the spirit of France?"

"No, that's not the case..." Joan of Arc quickly explained, "I..."

"You only need to fight for the lord for five years before you can return to France. Five years will fly by in a blink of an eye, so you can just treat it as training in the East. If you have any problems, you can come to my sister. If someone bullies you, my sister will definitely help you.

You take the lead."

"Um."

Joan of Arc, who was only seventeen years old, was deceived by Xia Liang, and the two parties were not rivals on the same level at all.

Leading troops to fight does not mean that you have strong ability to deal with people.

Zhou Yafu is the best example.

As Xia Liang's guard, Li Xiuning realized that Joan of Arc had just wanted to kidnap Xia Liang and threaten Chu Tian, ​​but was defused by Xia Liang's kindness offensive and Feng Qingyun.

In Li Xiuning's eyes, Chu Tian and Xia Liang were working together to abduct ignorant girls.

"Our current enemy is a prince named Cao Mengde. In this way, sister, if you want to return to France as soon as possible, I can propose to the lord that you help us defeat him, and the lord will consider letting you return to France in advance."

Xia Liang's words were like a trap of inducement. He first got close to Joan of Arc, then gave her the hope of returning to France as soon as possible, and then made Joan of Arc sacrifice her life for Chu Tian for the first time.

If there is a first time, there will be a second time. If there is a second time, there will be a third time. The fourth time...

Joan of Arc looked at this kind-hearted elder sister: "Defeat Cao Mengde? Who is he?"

"You can think of him as a great duke, a very bad duke."

"If I can return to France early, I am willing to go to war." Joan of Arc was inspired and finally decided to go to the battlefield to serve Xuzhou Mu. "But it is definitely not allegiance. I just want to exchange for freedom."

"Poor child, may God bless you, and you can successfully defeat the powerful enemy and gain freedom."

Xia Liang was like a magic stick, calming down Joan of Arc effortlessly, but he said to himself: "The saints in France are just like that. If it is that Catherine, it will be more difficult to deal with."
