As a general, Wu Nian still has some privileges.

Zhang Jin, Liu Wu, Tieniu, Wang Gui, and Zhang Sheng, who had newly received their positions, were all recruiting troops from the militia to expand their elite ranks.

Li Yong is not only responsible for recruiting new militiamen, but also cleaning, sorting, and repairing weapons and armor, keeping his busy feet on the ground.

Wu Nian returned to his mansion, escorted by a team of people.

"Brother." A soft call sounded. Wu Nian looked up and saw Liu Xiang, Wu Shi, Zhang Zhen and Li Ya waiting in front of the door.

"It's okay, I'm not hurt." Wu Nian was afraid that they would worry, so he stretched out his right hand and made a fist, patting his chest to show that I was strong.

Liu Xiang took out a handkerchief, wiped his eyes, and said with a smile: "I know that brother is not injured. I have already asked others."

"But brother must be very tired. I have already boiled the bath water, and the food and wine have been heated in the kitchen. Brother, please take a bath first and feel comfortable before eating."

Liu Xiang came forward and grabbed Wu Nian's still dirty hands with both hands. She didn't dislike them at all and held them very tightly.

"Okay." Wu Nian took out his right hand, smiled and pinched Liu Xiang's cheek.

"Dad, you are a bit scary." Li Ya grabbed Wu's sleeve with her little hands and whispered.

"Uncle, you are so majestic." Zhang Zhen, the little fat guy, looked excited.

Wu Nian sighed, is this the difference between boys and girls? That's fine, fighting is a man's business.

"Isn't it your father who is scary?" Wu Nian let go of Liu Xiang, bent down and pinched Li Ya's cheek, which was so plump and soft.

"Practice your martial arts well. When you grow up, you will be as majestic as me." Wu Nian patted the back of Zhang Zhen's head and said with a smile.

"I will try my best." Zhang Zhen covered the back of his head which hurt a little from being slapped, but his excitement did not diminish and he nodded heavily.

Wu Nian smiled, and then said a few words to Mr. Wu. Then he entered the mansion. When he came to the backyard, the servants came up to untie his armor, took it out, wiped it clean, and maintained it.

Wu Nian and Liu Xiang came to the bedroom together. The maid had already provided hot water. Liu Xiang helped Wu Nian take a hot bath. Wu Nian sat in the tub, put his arms on the edge of the tub, and narrowed his eyes comfortably.

.

It seems that the sneak attack is easy, but fighting the Mengyuan people is very tiring.

There is nothing better than a hot bath to wash away a tired body.

After taking a bath and eating, Wu Nian fell into a deep sleep in the bedroom with peace of mind. Liu Xiang looked at Wu Nian, who was already sleeping soundly, and stretched out her little hand to pull the quilt for him. After thinking for a moment, she leaned in and kissed Wu Nian.

Nian's cheeks, and then Xiafei's cheeks, closed the door and left as if running away.

"Brother, you are such a great husband."

she thought.

The expansion of elite troops went very smoothly.

The original elite soldiers of 300 households were drawn from the militia, and the number was expanded to 1200 households, with more than 1,300 people.

Militiamen are strong men who have been trained to a certain extent. And those who initially joined the militia were either military households from Beishan Fort or those who had a blood feud with the Mongolians.

After they joined the elite soldiers, it had an impact on the word "jing" in the elite soldiers, but it did not have much impact on the willpower, and the number of people expanded.

The overall strength has certainly increased.

Moreover, this time Wu Nian rescued a certain amount of grain, grass, war horses, armor, war coats, swords, guns, bows and arrows from the Mongolian people, and there was no difficulty in arming them.

It would take time for the news to be conveyed from Beishan Fort back to Jiang County. After Jin Huanshan heard the news, he immediately sent troops. It was no joke that the troops took the mountain road.

There are still a few days left for them to train and get used to each other.

Recruiting new soldiers from among the current households in Beishan Fort is a bit troublesome.

To put it bluntly, Wu Nian can be considered a warlord, and he has a bit of a woo-woo vibe.

It is impossible for all a nation to be passionate. Even if Wu Nian breaks the gods, even if Wu Nian defeats the Mongols, even if Wu Nian makes impassioned speeches and builds palaces.

Even the Meng Yuan people's swords were already placed on their necks.

There are still people who don't want to join the army, don't want to resist, just want a miracle to happen, and just want the Mongolian people to spare them.

There are now more than 20,000 people in Beishan Fort. If you recruit them randomly, there will be 2,000 to 3,000 new militiamen, but half of them may be unwilling.

But even if they are greedy for life and afraid of death, there is nothing they can do.

Wu Nian's military order is.

Those who refuse to perform military service will be killed!

Under the watchful eye of the elite soldiers, under the frost-cold guns. And half of them actively joined the army. Under such circumstances, those who are greedy for life and afraid of death can only join in timidly.

Recruitment point.

Regardless of whether they were willing or not, the men lined up in a long queue to sign up. Three clerks were writing down their names, household registrations, and which team they were classified into.

Li Yong, who was the Sima of the General's Office to assist the Han Dynasty, was wearing a shabby war jacket and stood at the scene with his arms folded.

Being an official has authority in itself.

What's more, Li Yong has followed Wu Nian for many days and experienced many major events, so he has an aura of his own. The men in the queue looked at Li Yong from time to time, some were afraid and some respected him.

Among the men, there was a scholar with a handsome face, tall and thin body, wearing a blue gown, named Chen Ning.

This person was one of the thorns inciting the refugees that day, and he was also the person Wu Nian insisted was a spy.

His identity is indeed the spy sent by Zhang Bu to Beishan Fort.

Zhang Bu gave him two tasks, one was to deliver information, and the other was to seize the opportunity and cause damage to Beishan Fort at the critical moment.

Including but not limited to inciting the people to oppose Wu Nian, finding ways to burn Wu Nian's granary, etc. To put it simply, it is causing destruction.

Chen Ning is actually reluctant to do this dangerous job, but he has no choice. Not everyone has the courage to resist half-heartedness.

Chen Ning is more courageous than ordinary scholars and has good abilities. He did a good job in instigating the refugee incident last time.

It's a pity that the soldiers are now heavily guarded, making it difficult for him to deliver news outside the castle.

But even Chen Ning felt afraid when he recalled that when Wu Nian hung up the "Yan Han" flag in the north of Beishan Fort to let the people see the piles of corpses of the Mongolian people.

"What a terrible person. If half of the generals in Liaodong are like Wu Nian, how could the Mongolians capture Liaodong?"

"And now I'm working as a spy inside this terrible guy. It's like climbing a cliff in a strong wind, and I may lose my head at any time. I have to be more careful and keep a low profile."

Chen Ning took a deep breath, then looked up at the elite soldiers around him holding knives and guns, looking at the faces full of fanaticism.

He felt a thrill in his heart.

The long queue became shorter at an extremely fast speed, and soon it was Chen Ning's turn.

Li Yong's eyes flashed with light.

"Your Excellency once said that this spy should be promoted as appropriate. Let him become a big shot in Beishan Castle and become a trump card against Zhang Bu."
