Chapter 61 Negotiation
After attending the banquet, Shao Xun stayed in the military camp.
The military camp is located on Imperial Street inside Dongyang Gate, not far from Sikong Mansion and very close to the palace city.
The two thousand troops of He Lun's tribe withdrew from Jinyong City and also garrisoned the military camp. At this point, both the upper and lower armies have arrived, and the area around Sikong Mansion can be considered to be strong and strong - on the surface, this is indeed the case.
“It’s okay if you don’t know how to shoot an arrow. You can’t hold a spear firmly, so what’s the use of you? Let’s all go.”
“You’ve been sneaking around during the whole morning’s training. What's the use of you? You, you, and you, let's go."
"If you don't come back until the afternoon of the next day, is the military camp a market? , drive them away.”
“You keep saying weird things all day long, which shakes the morale of the army. I’ll give you fifty lashes and drive them away.”
“You guys can’t do it. Go on your own. Don’t let me do it. Drive people away. ”
As the saying goes, once you have the power, you will carry out the order.
Mi Huang did not have the official seal of lieutenant, and Shao Xun did not officially become lieutenant Sima, but they had already entered their roles, and no one did not think that they were lieutenants and lieutenant Sima.
Shao Xun has been cleaning up unqualified recruits these days.
A large number of smooth-talking Luoyang people were all recruited by Wang Bing. Their number exceeded three hundred. Shao Xun was not polite at all. They passed the test one by one, and most of them were dismissed.
Only a few dozen people stayed, and they were basically hardworking people doing hard work in the market. After some conversation and a rough understanding of his character, he accepted it.
We still need to recruit more than 200 people.
This matter is actually not difficult.
Mi Huang mentioned that there are more than 30,000 miscellaneous soldiers inside and outside Luoyang City, as well as an unknown number of defeated soldiers. If you carefully select them, you can even select more than 200 strong men with certain military experience.
Shao Xun agreed. He handed the matter over to Wu Qian and asked him to handle it as soon as possible.
The wrangling between Sima Yue, Sima Ying and Sima Yong should be almost over. Once the benefits are distributed, foreign troops will enter the city, and the situation will become complicated again.
In addition, the dozens of honest coolies left behind were organized into a separate team.
Shao Xun actually doesn't like honest soldiers very much. He can't beat a dull fart with three sticks, and he can't distinguish between left and right. It's really disappointing during training.
But this time he had selfish motives.
In the battle at Tai Chi Hall, the boys performed well, which gave him some ideas.
Why not take the opportunity of recruiting new soldiers and let these 17 or 18-year-old boys join the army and serve as corps commanders, commanders, and team leaders?
A full formation of fifty people requires a total of sixteen officers above the corps commander.
There are a lot of teenagers aged 17 or 18. Some of them really have no talent for learning and cannot study anymore.
Shao Xun felt that in this case, he might as well stop reading. Anyway, he already knew a lot of words roughly, so he was no longer illiterate. Let's go down and lead the troops.
Scattered soldiers and defeated soldiers are certainly good, but they are more or less habitual, and a boy of seventeen or eighteen may not be able to suppress them.
Then let them lead honest people.
In the army, skills speak for themselves. Those who do hard work have basically never had any exposure to military training. If you still can't hold yourself back, then you are really not suitable for being a martial artist. You will be a corps commander or a sergeant for the rest of your life. .
The work of organizing the army was complicated, but Wang Bing seemed to have nothing to do, so Mi Huang took him to sit and drink tea.
"Shao Jun has made many meritorious deeds and the whole family is famous. What do Jiye think?" Mi Huang carefully observed the expression on Wang Bing's face and asked softly.
Wang Bing is not tall, but quite strong.
Xu Shi has been determined to follow the path of a warrior since he was a child. He is not as feminine as a common scholar, but rather masculine.
But looking masculine does not mean that the person is really masculine.
Wang Bing lacked a ruthless energy, a ruthless energy that would put him to death and survive.
There is no way, the family environment determines it, and he has never fallen to the point where he has to fight for his life to survive.
Guan Shen, the home is ready.
Position, if you manage it a bit, you will start as a general.
My subordinates are disobedient? It's okay, the family will send some troops to join the army so that you can control the army.
He never had any real difficulties.
So when you encounter those murderous people who kill without batting an eyelid, it is easy to be at a loss.
Mi Huang is not a vicious person, he still speaks very kindly, but Wang Bing's eyes always glance at Shao Xun who is training his troops on the battlefield.
He is just a building owner. Even if he becomes Lieutenant Sima, he can only "assist" in training the troops. But you see the way he does his part, is he "helping"? He's clearly in charge, right? "When I saw him for the first time, I felt that this person was quite murderous. He seemed gentle and polite, but in fact he was fierce and cruel." Wang Bing seemed to be recalling.
At that time, he and He Lun met the township party in front of the arsenal.
The conversation was still very polite, and Shao Xun's etiquette was also in place. After asking about his background, Wang Bing didn't take it to heart anymore.
Unexpectedly, a year later, this man killed the enemy and became famous for a while.
In contrast to him, he was defeated at the hands of Zhang Fang. His tribe was scattered and the entire army was destroyed.
The changes are so great that it is dizzying and difficult to accept for a while.
"Shao Langjun is actually a man who values affection and righteousness." Mi Huang smiled and said: "A drop of kindness will be repaid with a spring. You will not suffer a loss."
"That's right. It just sounds nice." Wang Bing sneered.
"Jiye, you are just talking angrily." Mi Huang shook his head.
"I said -" Wang Bing raised his head, looked at Mi Huang carefully, suddenly smiled, and said: "You speak for him like this, do you really want to understand? Are you not afraid that he will fall out in the future? Don’t recognize people?”
Mi Huang nodded: “You can only make decisions after you understand your character.”
“Knowing the person but not the heart.”
Mi Huang did not answer directly, but said: "I, Mi from Donghai, are good at trading. One of the secrets is to read people. Once you know the right person, you will not hesitate."
" Things are unpredictable." Wang Bing said sarcastically: "Who would have thought that Liu Xuande would not be able to stay in Xuzhou and leave in a panic? What can I do without risk? I, Mi, can't do such a big business if I look forward and backward."
"It seems that you are determined." Wang Bing sighed and asked again: "Is it possible that you are doing it? Do you want to recruit him as your son-in-law? I'm afraid it's not that easy to win over a ruthless person like him. Don't let the wolf enter the house and take away your family's wealth and tribe."
"You don't need to worry about these." Mi Huang said expressionlessly: "You must also know that Shao Xun will be promoted as filial and honest this year, and his status will be different by then. What should be done should be carefully considered."< br>
Wang Bing’s face changed slightly and he was speechless.
Mi Huang is his direct superior, and there are many ways to manipulate him, so it is really difficult to openly confront him.
Looking at the bottom, from the superintendent, the team leader to the team leader and even the top soldier, two-thirds of them are Shao Xun's people, almost ignoring him.
In a place like Luoyang, where people are always talking with knives, they don’t even have the capital to resist.
If he really wants to break up, Wang Bing wonders if Shao Xun will strangle him to death with a bow string on a dark and windy night, and then bury him in the wild, but he can't be found.
Oh, how could you be with such a person?
"I want to arrange a building owner." After a long silence, Wang Bing suddenly said: "I owe a favor, and I have to pay it back now. Don't worry, nothing bad will happen."
Mi Huang did not agree directly, but asked: "Is there anything else?"
"After Sikong Bingzheng, I want to go to the Forbidden Army as a general. You have to speak for me." Wang Bing said again.
"It's easy." Mi Huang agreed immediately, then frowned and said, "The matter of the owner of the building needs to be discussed in the long term. You should bring the person over first to take a look."
Wang Bing He snorted and said: "Shao Xun has such a great record."
Placing private individuals in the army is a normal phenomenon at this time, because many troops have a strong tribal legacy, which started in the late Han Dynasty.
The superior officers placed their confidants as lower-level officers, and the lower-level officers then placed their confidants as lower-level officers. The characteristics of personal dependence are very obvious.
Therefore, if he uses this as an argument, it will not have much effect.
But I felt very aggrieved, and it was difficult to turn around for a while.
Mi Huang saw this and took Wang Bing's hand, saying sincerely: "Jiye, don't do this. You see, I have made a lot of achievements in the past six months, and Sikong has praised me many times. There are many rewards. After all, Shao Xun is still the owner of your tent. He has made great contributions and will benefit from you. Doesn’t it feel so difficult to accept it? Besides, the world is so chaotic, and you can’t guarantee that you will meet him. If there is no difficulty or even danger, don’t we have to rely on us Donghai people to stick together? After Shao Xun becomes famous, can you, as his fellow country party, treat him badly?”
“Okay. , I can't say anything about you." Wang Bing patted the table in anger and said, "What else can I do if I'm being manipulated by you? I want to be a left-back general or a right-back general. If you have the chance, you will definitely do it. You want to speak for me."
"Of course." Mi Huang smiled proudly.
Wang Bing seemed angry, but in fact he had given in.
The thousands of people in the lower army will no longer be obstructed from within, and they can be trained freely.
Mi Huang has great confidence in Shao Xun. As long as he does not fight within a year and gives him time, he will definitely be able to rectify an army that can go to the battlefield and fight with others.
One year, only one year!
