Chapter 11 Candidates (Add 33 to the leader of the alliance, Young Master Qingshan)
“Captain Shao.”
“Captain Shao is a great shooter!”
“Captain Shao is mighty. !”
In Pan Yuan, everyone who met Shao Xun, such as the corps commander, commander, team leader, and even the planner and manager, greeted him warmly.
Everyone has an idea of who is more capable and who can better protect the safety of the farm.
Everyone wanted to laugh when they heard that Yang Bao was very dissatisfied with Shao Xun.
What is Yang Bao’s ability? It's just a Taipingquan attack against the wall. Without Shao Xun's magic shot, how could the rebels disperse so easily?
Besides, even if Captain Shao doesn’t use a bow and fights alone, you, Yang Bao, are no match.
Shao Xun responded one by one with a smile, seemingly humble.
Wu Qian and Huang Biao followed behind him, looking like Yourong.
Qin San, who had been beaten by Shao Xun, also "rebelled" and followed behind, chatting and laughing.
“This time I have become famous!” Huang Biao said proudly.
"Throughout the first month, Pan Yuan dealt with three waves of insurgent troops, and Captain Shao was indispensable every time." Qin San smiled and said: "I was thinking about it, what else is Yang Bao doing? It's a sign!"
"It's not that simple." Wu Qian shook the riding whip in his hand and said in a low voice: "The last time Wang joined the army, I heard that Liu Qiaduo had a lot of backing. What kind of nonsense can you think of?"
"This..." Huang Biao choked and said angrily: "We are doing these dirty things all day long, don't we just rely on the guy in our hands?"< br>
“If only it were that simple.” Wu Qian snorted coldly.
Qin San was dumbfounded.
I just betrayed Shao Xun, did I do something wrong?
"I said -" Shao Xun glanced at a few people angrily and said: "You guys are talking so much, how is it like killing warriors? In this messy world, if it works, it will work, and if it doesn't work, it will work. It just doesn’t work. If Liu Qia and Yang Bao keep jumping up and down, what’s the point of harming me if they can’t stand up? Just calm down and reorganize the team, don’t think too much.”
"No." Several people responded one after another.
Shao Xun remembered the afternoon when he first met the princess.
She seemed to have suffered some kind of shock at that time. She felt a little restless and subconsciously wanted to win over him.
In this case, the princess should be able to protect him from wind and rain...right?
On the tenth day of February, after expelling the last batch of more than a hundred rebel soldiers, Pan Yuan finally relaxed.
Everyone seized the time and started spring plowing.
One thing after another, it’s so busy that it’s dizzying.
In late February, Mi Huang, the governor of Sikong Mansion and the owner of the building, who had been stranded in Luoyang before, hurried to Pan Yuan.
"Zi Hui came in time." In the main hall of Panyuan, Princess Pei said expressionlessly.
"My dear, Princess, I have been busy with general affairs recently and have neglected military affairs." Mi Huang replied with some embarrassment.
"Mi Jun is really an honest person." Concubine Pei smiled lightly.
It is impossible to say that there is no resentment. But this was the case, what could she do? At least in the eyes of the husband, it is right to reap the benefits quickly. She could accept this intellectually, but emotionally she always felt it was not the case.
Mi Huang lowered his head.
As the owner of the farm, he was not present when the rebellion was raging. Pan Yuan actually lacked the highest military officer - even in name - if there was a slight mistake, the entire farm would be destroyed.
What will happen then? All the goods were looted, and there were heavy casualties. A wealthy lady like the princess would end up even worse, and she might be sold into slavery. Where would this put the face of the King of East China Sea?
But things are so helpless.
The crown prince Sima Pi is in Sikong Mansion in Luoyang City, and King Donghai seems not to pay much attention to the outside of the city. All his energy was put into winning over "celebrities".
In the past two months, many people have entered the Sikong Mansion.
Xue Jian of Danyang was one of the five heroes of Jiangdong. His father and ancestors were all officials in Soochow. He was a prominent official in his life. He was recruited by Sikong and promised to join the army.
Danyang Ganzhuo, the great-grandson of Gan Ning, the famous Eastern Wu general, the grandson of Shangshu Ganshu, and the son of the crown prince and Taifu Ganchang, promised to join the army.
If you include Director Wang, whom Huo Bing had just recruited, and Prince Qi Sima Jiong's Fu Zuti, who was currently recruiting, there would be even more people.
Anyway, very busy.
In addition, the competition for military power is also becoming increasingly fierce.
Sikong Mansion has a lot more talents than last year, but its appetite is also growing, and naturally there are more and more things to do. As an old man who has followed Sikong for many years, Mi Huang has recently been busy recruiting defeated soldiers and desperadoes. He even secretly contacted the Forbidden Army generals on Sikong's orders and tried to win over them.
He is also very busy!
To be honest, no one cares about this building in Pan Yuan. The old is old, the young is young, what can be done? The only saving grace is probably that all members of the Donghai Township Party - the soldiers are naturally more trustworthy.
The King of Donghai didn’t like this soldier very much, and Mi Huang didn’t like him either. Therefore, in addition to helping the King of East China Sea recruit talents from various families recently, he is also looking for ways to recruit soldiers.
Under the world military system, sergeants are very regional and not easy to recruit. Take the tens of thousands of Yuzhou soldiers who have just been defeated. They have fields, homes, and families in the counties of Yuzhou. How can they follow you to serve as soldiers in other places?
Besides, this is against the rules.
It is not impossible to recruit soldiers from one place to defend or fight in other places, but there are strict procedures. For example, if soldiers from Yuzhou go to Huainan, this is theoretically called an "expedition".
There is a time limit for the expedition, which can be one, two or three years. During the period, there are "breaks" during which the soldiers can go home to reunite with their families. After the reunion, they can "departure" again until they are completely demobilized and the military operation is ended.
To put it bluntly, they are classical farming and fighting soldiers. It is better to say that he is a military household than a farmer. His main job is farming, and his side job is going to war. His skills are not good, his training is insufficient, and his combat effectiveness is just that.
Compared with world soldiers, recruit soldiers are professional warriors who do not need to farm to make a living. They spend most of their lives training and fighting. As long as they have sufficient food and pay, they can fight around the clock without so many restrictions.
Mi Huang recruited sergeants, but he actually recruited soldiers. This is not an easy task. It involves all aspects and will keep him busy for a while.
"What's the situation in Beijing?" Concubine Pei asked casually, playing with a fox fur half-arm.
"The King of Changsha is busy cleaning up the mess. He will send people to Yecheng for consultation on all matters big and small. He is very respectful." Mi Huang said: "The man from Chang'an has ordered the vanguard army to withdraw. The crisis in Luoyang seems to be over. Slow down." Concubine Pei was noncommittal when she heard this, but there was a hint of ridicule in her beautiful red eyes.
Sima Yi had clearly obtained the power of Luoyang, so why did he still show such respect to Sima Ying who was far away in Yecheng and let him actually participate in the governance of the world? Because the kings were still very powerful, especially Sima Ying of Yecheng and Sima Yong of Chang'an, Sima Yi would not be able to secure his position if he did not win over them.
And this so-called balance, in the view of Concubine Pei, who has seen too many conflicts within the big family, is completely seeking skin from the tiger, and the relationship between the two parties will break down sooner or later.
The reason is also very simple. They are all descendants of the Sima family. Who doesn’t want to follow Sima Lun’s old example and ascend the throne as emperor?
It would be great if peace could be maintained for half a year.
Thinking of this, she sighed slightly. During the war, no one can control their own destiny.
"Have you brought all the supplies?" Concubine Pei stopped thinking about those worries and asked directly about the things she cared about.
Mi Huang breathed a sigh of relief and quickly replied: "Twenty war horses, sixty walking horses, one hundred draft horses, fifty collars of armor, three hundred pairs of armor, one hundred bow tips, five hundred bow strings, A thousand and two hundred spears..."
After saying that, he subconsciously tugged at his messy beard, his facial features tangled together, and said: "I am ashamed. As the master of the building, I have been slacking off for a long time, and I asked the princess to remind me. . ”
Indeed, he is very unqualified as the owner of the building.
Although the civil and military officials of the Jin Dynasty often stayed in office and did not pursue their political affairs, it was rare for him to disappear at every turn and attend to other affairs for his lord.
He doesn't even know how many people are left in his building, and he has been neglecting daily training for a long time. He can't even remember what the captains of each team look like.
"Zi Hui should come more often in the future. The current situation is chaotic, and no one can guarantee what will happen in the future." When she said this, Concubine Pei's eyelids were lowered, her fingers were lightly twisted together, and her tone was As if with a little hesitation and fear, she just heard her say: "Pan Yuan's group of people still have to be arrested. Although the Luoyang Central Army is important, it is not easy to win over."
"This... Mi Huang hesitated for a moment.
He seemed to recognize the princess's tone, but did not become suspicious. Women, isn’t that what they are? No matter how noble and wise you are, it is normal for you to lose your composure when encountering difficulties.
Previously, the princess sent people to Luoyang to ask for equipment and supplies. The palace staff did not take it seriously. However, Mi Huang considered that he was the owner of the building and the princess was in Panyuan, so he said a few words and successfully sent it. A batch of equipment came over - the Yuzhou soldiers fled. There were countless scattered equipment, but not everyone could get it.
I came here today and was questioned by the princess first, feeling very ashamed. Now seeing the worried and weak look of the princess, she felt even more guilty, so she said: "I will report to Sikong tomorrow and send a group of strong soldiers to recruit."
After hearing this, Concubine Pei was so beautiful. When he raised his eyes, he seemed to be a little surprised, but then he hesitated: "Most of the recruits are desperadoes. They are not people who know the basics. I'm afraid they are difficult to discipline."
"It doesn't matter." Mi Huang said confidently: "What? The captain and leader of the team are still served by Donghai soldiers. After training for a period of time, they have stabilized. "In this case, Zihui will have to come a few more times to preside over the training."
"This..." Mi Huang paused again.
It’s not that I don’t want to come, it’s just that I really don’t have time. To reorganize and train the troops, one needs food and accommodation in the military camp. How could a busy man like him do that?
Seeing this, Concubine Pei lowered her head and seemed a little disappointed.
Mi Huang's face was tangled, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Of course the servants have to come often. But - well, I don't know if this is good? Set up one or two supervisors, and they will be responsible for rectification on weekdays. , drill, the servants will come when they are free to review the sergeants..."
"Zi Hui's plan is very good." The princess breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes full of smiles, and said: "Mr. Wei Mi, I really don't know what to do."
Mi Huang breathed a sigh of relief and said After making up his mind to go back, he reported it to Sikong and asked casually: "I wonder if there is a choice for the princess? Pan Yuan still depends on the princess's wishes after all."
"How can I, a woman like this, know this? Concubine Pei sighed and said: "Since the first month, the rebels have been raging, and I have been living in the village in fear. Fortunately, the soldiers have taken their lives, and there is no danger in the end. The servants in the mansion privately discussed that the leader of the team is named Shao Xun, who is brave. He is fierce and agile, killing more than 20 thieves with arrows. He is ranked first in merit, and he may be able to use it." "My servant has also heard of this person's name," Mi Huang blurted out: "Could it be that young man with a knot in his neck. ?”
Fei Pei was slightly surprised and said: “It’s him?”
Mi Huang nodded and said: “The team leaders Yang Bao and Qin San came out to report. Shao Xun has an affair with a young man and has some evil intentions. The servant didn’t have time to investigate and delayed until now. I’m ashamed of him..."
At this point, Mi Huang looked stern and was about to say something more when he saw Concubine Pei. Cover your mouth and chuckle.
"It turns out to be him." Concubine Pei smiled and said: "I remembered it. Yang Bao and Qin San once fought with Shao Xun. When they heard that they were shot by an arrow and their buns were scattered, they knelt down to beg for mercy. Maybe it was the knot. This is the result of hatred."
"There is such a secret," Mi Huang suddenly realized.
He is an honest man, but not a fool. Concubine Pei was very protective of Shao Xun in her words, so he got off the slope and said, "I will go back to Luoyang tomorrow and report to Sikong. Please set up the post of Superintendent to train the troops. If approved, I will promote Shao Xun to the position of Superintendent." ”
"If all the officials in the palace are as diligent and conscientious as Zihui, nothing can be accomplished." Concubine Pei nodded slightly.
"The princess has been praised too much." Mi Huang's old face turned red. Before coming here, he had taken five stone powder in Bian Mansion and wasted half a day. He really couldn't live up to the word "diligence".
Concubine Pei chuckled lightly and did not continue talking. Instead, she asked, "I heard that your master is already sixteen years old?"
"Exactly." Mi Huang said.
“Have you ever married a wife?”
“Never.”
“The young man from the Mi family must be good.” Concubine Pei pondered for a moment and said : "I will pay attention to this matter, and maybe I can find a bride from a wealthy family for your son."
Hearing this, Mi Huang's face showed excitement. He immediately stood up and bowed, saying: "The princess is so kind, I am very grateful. "
"Why does Zihui need to do this?" Concubine Pei raised her hands and said: "The Mi family of Donghai has great achievements in hard work. The king is responsible for everything, and it is a national event that I am the master of the palace. Let me share your worries, Zihui."
"Yes," Mi Huang said respectfully.
After Mi Huang left, Concubine Pei carefully looked at the half arm in her hand.
The fox fur is quite beautiful. Shao Xun hunted it in the mountains and presented it to him.
His shooting skills are indeed quite good. A little favor and a good deal of win-over can give you a little more protection in troubled times.
For talented and capable people, troubled times have greatly loosened the once extremely solid social order. They may like it very much, right?
Some people are not afraid of death, they are afraid of not having a chance.
"Come here, send over the ready-made military uniforms." Concubine Pei stood up, looked at a set of bright red military uniforms placed on the case, and ordered.
