"Captain Shao."
"Captain Shao's amazing shot!"
"Captain Shao is mighty!"
In Pan Yuan, everyone who met Shao Xun was greeted warmly by the corps commander, commander, captain, planner, steward, etc.
Who is more capable and who can better protect the safety of the farm? Everyone has a strong balance in their hearts.
Everyone wanted to laugh when they heard that Yang Bao was very dissatisfied with Shao Xun.
What is Yang Bao's ability? He just leans against the wall and uses Taipingquan. Without Shao Xun's magic shot, how could the rebels disperse so easily?
Besides, even if Captain Shao fights alone without a bow, you, Yang Bao, are no match.
Shao Xun responded with a smile, seemingly humble.
Wu Qian, Huang Biao and others followed behind him, and they looked at each other with 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.
"In the entire first month of the first month, Pan Yuan dealt with three waves of insurrectionary troops, and Captain Shao was indispensable every time." Qin San smiled and said, "I was thinking, Yang Bao doesn't have any clues!"
"It's not that simple." Wu Qian shook the riding whip in his hand and whispered: "The king who joined the army last time was said to have a great background. Liu Qiaduo is very flattering, so what trouble will come if he can't protect everything."
"This..." Huang Biao choked and said angrily: "I have been doing these dirty things all day long. When we fight to kill people, don't we rely on the guy in our hands to speak for ourselves?"
"If only it were that simple." Wu Qian snorted coldly.
Qin San was a little dumbfounded.
I just showed my sincerity to 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 works, and if it doesn't, it doesn't work. Liu Qia,
If Yang Bao jumps up and down again and he can't harden up, what harm will it do to me? Peace of mind and rectify the troops, don't think about things."
"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, and she felt a little restless, and she subconsciously wanted to win over him.
In this case, the princess should be able to protect him from the 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.
Things are happening one after another, and it’s so busy that it’s dizzying.
In late February, the owner of the building, Mi Huang, who had been staying in Luoyang for a long time to supervise the Sikong Mansion, hurried to Pan Yuan.
"Zi Hui came in time." In the main hall of Panyuan, Princess Pei said expressionlessly.
"Forgive me, 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 faintly.
It is impossible to say that there is no resentment. But if this is the case, what can she do? At least in the eyes of her husband, it is right to reap the benefits as soon as possible. She can accept this intellectually, but emotionally she always feels that it is not so right.
thing.
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 property will be plundered, and there will be heavy casualties. A wealthy lady like the princess will end up even worse, and will probably be sold into slavery. Where will the face of the King of East China Sea be put?
But things are so frustrating.
The crown prince Sima Pi was in the Sikong Mansion in Luoyang City, and King Donghai seemed not to pay much attention to the outside world. All his energy was focused on winning over "famous people".
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 both served in Soochow, and 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 we include Director Wang, whom Huo Bing had just recruited, and Prince Sima Jiong, who is currently recruiting, the number of people would be even greater.
Very busy anyway.
In addition, the competition for military power is also becoming increasingly fierce.
There are a lot more talents in Sikong Mansion than last year, but the appetite is also getting bigger and bigger, and there are naturally more and more things going on. As an old man who has followed Sikong for many years, Mi Huang has been busy recruiting defeated soldiers and desperadoes recently, and even served as a
Sikong ordered him to secretly contact the generals of the Forbidden Army and try to win over them.
He is also very busy!
To be honest, no one cares about this group of people in Pan Yuan anymore. Old and young, how can they help? The only saving grace is probably that all members of the Donghai Township Party - the disciple soldiers, their trust level
Naturally taller.
The King of Donghai doesn't like this soldier very much, and Mi Huang doesn't like it either. Therefore, in addition to helping the King of Donghai recruit talents from famous families, he is also trying to recruit soldiers recently.
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 go with you to serve as soldiers in other places?
Soldier?
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, then in theory this is called "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 you can go home to reunite with your family. After the reunion, you can "departure" again until you are completely demobilized and the military operation is completed.
To put it bluntly, they are classical farming and fighting soldiers. We can say they are military households rather than farmers. Their main job is farming, and their side job is fighting in wars. Their skills are not refined, their training is insufficient, and their combat effectiveness is just that.
Compared with ordinary soldiers, recruiters 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.
When Mi Huang recruited sergeants, he was actually recruiting soldiers. This was not an easy task. It involved all aspects and kept him busy for a while.
"How is 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 have eased."
When Concubine Pei heard this, she was noncommittal, but there was a hint of ridicule in her beautiful red phoenix eyes.
Sima Yi had clearly obtained the power of Luoyang, so why did he still show 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, and with Sima Ying in Yecheng and Sima Yong in Chang'an
Why, without winning over them, Sima Yi would not be able to secure his position.
And this so-called balance, in the view of Concubine Pei, who has seen too many conflicts within the big family, is completely seeking the skin of a 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. When fighting, no one can control their own destiny.
"Have you brought all the supplies?" Concubine Pei stopped thinking about those worries and directly asked 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, and one thousand two hundred spears."
…”
After saying that, he subconsciously tugged at his messy beard, his facial features tangled together, and said: "I'm 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 was 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 didn't even know how many people were left in his building, and he had neglected daily training for a long time. He couldn't even remember clearly what the captains of each team looked 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 drooped, her fingers were lightly twisted together, and there seemed to be a little hesitation in her tone.
Fearful, I just heard her say: "Pan Yuan and this group of people still need 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 he did not become suspicious. Women, isn't that just like that? No matter how noble and wise you are, it is normal for you to lose your composure when encountering problems.
Previously, the princess sent people to Luoyang to ask for equipment and supplies, but 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 a batch of equipment -
The Yuzhou soldiers were routed and scattered a lot of equipment, but not everyone could get it.
When I came today, I was questioned by the princess first, and I felt extremely ashamed. Now that I saw the princess looking so worried and weak, I felt even more guilty, so I said: "I will report to Sikong tomorrow and send a group of strong soldiers to recruit."
When Concubine Pei heard this, she raised her beautiful eyes. She seemed a little surprised, but then hesitated: "Most of the recruited soldiers are desperadoes. They are not people who know the basics. I'm afraid they will be difficult to discipline."
"It doesn't matter." Mi Huang said confidently: "Chief, the leader of the team is still a soldier from the East China Sea. After training for a period of time, he has stabilized."
"In this case, Zihui will have to come a few more times to conduct training." Concubine Pei said.
"This..." Mi Huang paused again.
It’s not that I don’t want to come, it’s that I really don’t have time. To train the troops, they need food and accommodation in the military camp. How can a busy man like him do it?
When Concubine Pei saw this, she 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 and drills on weekdays. When the servants are free,
Come, inspect the sergeant..."
"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. 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, know these things?" Concubine Pei sighed and said, "Since the first month, the rebels have been raging, and I have been living deep in the village, terrified. Fortunately, the soldiers used their lives, and there was no danger in the end. The servants in the mansion privately discussed
, there is a team leader named Shao Xun, he is brave and agile, he killed more than twenty thieves with arrows, he is ranked first in merit, and he may be useful."
"I have also heard of this person's name." Mi Huang blurted out: "Could it be that young man with a sinister relationship?"
Concubine Pei was slightly surprised and said, "It's him?"
Mi Huang nodded and said: "Team leader Yang Bao, Qin San issued a report to the Prime Minister, saying that Shao Xun had a conspiracy with a young man and had evil intentions. The servant did not have time to investigate and delayed it until now. I am ashamed. This person..."
Having said this, Mi Huang looked stern, and when he was about to continue saying something, he saw Concubine Pei cover her mouth and chuckle.
"It turns out it was him." Concubine Pei said with a smile: "I remembered it. Yang Bao and Qin San once fought with Shao Xun. When they heard that they were shot with an arrow, they knelt down and begged for mercy. Maybe they formed a grudge, so that
this."
"There is such a secret." Mi Huang suddenly realized.
He was an honest man, but not a fool. Concubine Pei was very protective of Shao Xun in her words, so he got off the donkey and said: "My servant will return to Luoyang tomorrow and report to Sikong. Please set up the position of superintendent to train the troops. If
With the approval, Shao Xun will be promoted to the position of Superintendent."
"If all the officials in the royal palace are as diligent and conscientious as Zihui, nothing can be done." Concubine Pei nodded slightly.
"The princess is too praised." Old Mi Huang's face turned red. Before coming here, he had taken Wu Shi Powder in the 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 about this. Instead, she asked: "I heard that your son is now sixteen years old?"
"Exactly." Mi Huang said.
"I wonder if you have ever had 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 may be able to find a bride from a noble family for my son."
Hearing this, Mi Huang's face showed excitement. He immediately stood up and bowed, saying: "The princess is so kind to you, I am deeply grateful."
"Why does Zihui need to do this?" Concubine Pei raised her hands in vain and said: "Mi family in the East China Sea, hard work makes great achievements. Your Majesty is responsible for everything, and those who worry about it are national affairs. As the master of the inner palace, I naturally have to share the worries of Your Majesty. Zihui, work with peace of mind.
That’s it.”
"Yes." Mi Huang responded respectfully.
After Mi Huang left, Concubine Pei carefully looked at the half arm in her hand.
The fox skin 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 win over him can provide him with more protection in troubled times.
For those who are talented and capable, troubled times have greatly loosened the once 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 table, and ordered.
Chapter completed!
