Chapter 58: Ambition

After everyone finished eating, it was almost evening.

However, a jar of wine and some cooked meat is really not enough.

Wang Yang and Lao Zhang were also generous people. They got up and went home, saying that their mother-in-law would kill chickens to entertain Wu Nian.

In short, take care of the food.

Zhang Jin and Wu Nian left the house and went outside. They found two stones and sat down. Tieniu and Zhang Sheng were very sensible and stayed in the house.

"Brother, you are a small flag. Although you don't have many things to do, you are still an official. You shouldn't come to visit me for no reason."

After drinking, Zhang Jin's face turned dark and red, his eyes showed a shrewd look, and he said with a smile.

Wu Nian was not surprised, this man was definitely not a reckless man.

"It's just that I don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything." Wu Nian admitted openly, then patted his knees and said slowly: "Now the Mongolian people are strong. Although Beishan Fort is located at the back, I think about them

Sooner or later, we will be attacked. So while I am reorganizing my troops, I also plan to recruit a private army for self-protection."

"Brother, you are a loyal and capable person. I want to recruit you, brother, to help me manage my private army."

Zhang Jin nodded, took a deep look at Wu Nian, and said with emotion: "I have also heard about you. In the Beishan Fort, there are only one soldier reorganized. I can realize how powerful the Meng Yuan people are.

, you are much better than some hundreds or thousands of households."

"Let me be conceited. You are very discerning if you come to me."

"Brother, what do you think?" Wu Nian was very polite, his eyes even more intense. He had already seen Zhang Jin's level, he was absolutely amazing.

With his help, I am even more powerful.

Zhang Jin stood up, reached out and patted his butt, paced back and forth with his hands on his waist for a moment, then lowered his head and asked: "Brother, you want me to help you, this is what you want. Then you know what I want

What?"

"I'm all ears." Wu Nian showed a serious look, stood up and said with his hands raised.

"I pride myself on my ability. But I have always been like the iron bull in the house. I have always been a soldier and was depressed. Later I killed people and fled to Phoenix Mountain."

"After that, there were people like you, brother, looking for me to come out, including one from a hundred households. But I rejected them all. Because I figured it out. In the Great Chu Kingdom, I had no chance to stand out when I was a soldier, let alone

Become someone else’s soldier?”

"I want to stand out. I want to stand under the sun and honor my ancestors. The Meng Yuan people were strong and invaded the Chu State from the south. It was a disaster for the Chu State, but for people like me, it was an opportunity. I want to be in Liaodong

When there is a big chaos, go down the mountain, recruit soldiers, and do something."

Zhang Jin's voice gradually became louder and louder, his eyes were bright and frightening, and his whole body exuded an unparalleled aura.

He is a knife, a sharp knife.

Being depressed in his early years caused him to accumulate too much anger. This anger turned into ambition and sharpened his edge.

He was entrenched on the Phoenix Mountain and waiting for an opportunity. This opportunity was when the Mongols and Yuan people went south, causing chaos in Liaodong and rising up.

Wu Nian looked at Zhang Jin, very surprised.

Zhang Jin opened a window for him.

Before this, he had never thought about what he wanted to do in the future, and he had no such big ambitions. He just wanted to watch his wife on the hot bed.

If it weren't for the decadence of Chu's military power, he would rather be a soldier and enjoy himself every day.

Now that the Meng Yuan people are moving south, the state of Chu is in decline. Liaodong is gradually in turmoil, and there are no eggs left under the overwhelming force. He is trying his best to expand his army, but he just wants to protect himself.

I never thought about rising up.

"Brother, you want to be the emperor?" Wu Nian thought for a moment and said lightly.

Zhang Jin felt as if he had been shot in the knee by an arrow. His face changed drastically and he broke into cold sweat. He smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, don't joke with me. Although I am a bit ambitious, I don't want to be the emperor."

"Since ancient times, many heroes have died on the road to hegemony. How can I be so virtuous and capable?"

Immediately, Zhang Jin looked at Wu Nian with a strange expression.

Isn't this kid Xiaoqi? How can he say such a thing so easily?

Moreover, it is ridiculous for us, a fugitive military household, to say this to a small flag.

"Since brother, you don't want to be the emperor, so the ultimate goal of rising up is to accept the imperial court's recruitment, right?" Wu Nian nodded and asked again.

"That's right." Zhang Jin readily admitted.

"Then why doesn't brother follow me?" Wu Nian said with a smile: "Brother, you also praise me as a hero and a little flag. Let's work hard together and become high officials together in the future."

Zhang Jin shook his head repeatedly, waved his hand and said to Wu Nian: "Brother, you are indeed a hero. It's not that I won't help you. It's just that the military household is too narrow and the flag officers are too small. Even if the Meng Yuan people go south, you

The small flag is probably useless. It’s better for me to take advantage of the chaos and rise up."

"Special code. The Chu State's guard system is rotten to the core. People like us can only be small flags and small soldiers." At the end of the sentence, Zhang Jin was very angry and kicked a stone away.

Wu Nian fully agrees with this point.

He stopped talking.

He was originally a gambler and alcoholic, but he recently became a prodigy.

Tieniu is a good soldier and fights very bravely. If the system is not broken, it is more than enough to be a member of a hundred or a thousand households.

A hero like Zhang Jin had to be a general.

But they are all soldiers.

The upward channel is not for ordinary people.

It's for officials, it's for rich people.

Complete the guard system of Duzi.

Then there would be no agreement at all.

He wants to recruit Zhang Jin as a family soldier to protect himself together, take it one step at a time and work hard slowly.

Zhang Jin despaired of the guard system and planned to take advantage of the chaos to rise up and accept the imperial court's recruitment.

It's simply wrong to tell the truth.

"Hey." Wu Nian sighed and said helplessly to Zhang Jin: "Brother, it seems I can't convince you."

"Yes. But we have an agreement as friends. You must stay in my Phoenix Mountain for three to five days." Zhang Jin said with a smile.

When Wu Nian heard it, he thought it was not bad.

If you stay on this mountain for a few days, maybe you can think of a way to trick this guy down the mountain?

"Brother, big brother, it's not good. A wild boar weighing three to five hundred pounds broke in and injured two people."

At this moment, Wang Yang ran all the way and shouted, panting, and came to the two of them.

"What did you say?"

Zhang Jin immediately became nervous. The exiled military households in his place gradually gathered together. We are not relatives, but he values ​​​​love and has long regarded them as brothers and sisters.

A wild boar weighing three to five hundred pounds is incredible.

When he goes crazy, he becomes a murderous maniac.

The old hunter has a saying, one pig and two tigers.

Encountering wild boars in the mountains is more troublesome than encountering tigers. Although wild boars are not as domineering as tigers, they have rough skin and thick flesh. Shooting an ordinary bow and arrow on it is like scratching an itch.

"I'm going to get the bow." Zhang Jin shouted and immediately rushed to the house to get the hunting bow.

Wu Nian reacted very quickly and rushed into the house to get his bow. Tieniu and Zhang Sheng also came with him.
