Chapter 12
"The five types of soldiers are to rescue chaos and punish violence, which are called righteous soldiers. The righteous soldiers are kings; if the enemy is overtaken by oneself, they have to rise up, they are called responding to the army, and those who respond to the army win..." That night, Cui Po was reading the "Book of Han" in his study, but saw Di Shi, who had not seen him for half a day, standing at the door and shouting: "Young Master, Young Master"
"You ran there again. Didn't you tell me to learn skills with my master?" Cui Po said without leaving the book.
"I went to the military camp, but I went with Master Jingfeng. He is still there now, so I asked me to come back and report to the young master, saying... "When I said this, Di Shi was hesitant and hesitant.
"What are you saying! Why don't you tell me quickly?" Cui Po urged impatiently.
"Master Jingfeng said that he lives in the military camp, where it is comfortable to live, and the mansion is too frustrated." Seeing that the young master was about to get angry, Di Shi hurriedly said
"Oh!" Cui Po was stunned for a moment. The next moment, thinking of the senior brother's temperament, he smiled relieved and said, "Go and send anything that suits you to your master. Everything else will follow his personality.
Seeing Di Shi turning around and leaving, Cui Po asked casually: "Since you are in the school ground, what's the situation of recruiting soldiers today?"
"If I had known, you would have asked," Di Shi said in her heart, but she replied respectfully: "There are many people who came to see it today, but not many people who signed up. The high-ranking master asked for it strictly, so he only recruited more than 500 people."
Cui Po did not comment, but waved his hand to let Di Shi go, and then picked up the "Han Shu" and read it carefully.

On the second day of recruiting, Gao Chongwen picked out twenty-five strong men with loud voices from the sergeants recruited yesterday and successively announced the recruitment policy. At noon, he even set up a big pot at the schoolyard and slaughtered five fat pigs on the spot. He cooked them up on the raging fire, only spreading the tempting fragrance far away.
Seeing hundreds of soldiers dressed in a freshly decorated and bright armored chewed around the pot, outside the school grounds, fled from other places to Jinzhou. Li Shu, who worked as a short worker for the wealthy family every day, could no longer bear it. He pulled off his short clothing, revealing his muscle-burning chest, and shouted: "Brothers, go, eat meat", and walked towards the recruiting platform first.
With his strong body, he successfully passed the assessment. After the incense stick, he had already changed his clothes and joined the ranks of the New South Wales Army. Seeing him like this, the young fellow villagers who fled with him could no longer bear it and followed him.
On that day, more than 800 soldiers were recruited.
On the third day, the military officer who had been missing for two days finally couldn't help but come to the barracks. After strolling around, the military officer called Gao Chongwen, who was busy and busy, and gathered the soldiers recruited two days ago. As if he was selecting royal soldiers, he selected 150 tall and strong young men from the soldiers recruited in the two days, and after dressing up carefully, he divided into five teams, led the way by local united soldiers and headed to the counties under Jinzhou.
These five teams of soldiers passed through the village and the county. Their handsome face and strong figure responded to the shiny standard armor in the sun, which shone the girls' faces and dispersed the hearts of the young people. Moreover, the extremely irritating united soldiers promoted the treatment of enlistment. Even the cautious old people felt that it was really not necessary to not send their children to the army. That night, the itchy young people threw away the farm tools, picked up their baggage, and headed towards the barracks in their dreams.
Since the fourth day, for three consecutive days, the Jinzhou military camp ushered in the most lively period since its establishment. Young people with baggage and longing came from all over the countryside, and in the end, a seat that was a little higher could be sold for thirty cents.
All this only made Gao Chongwen, who had always been cold-faced, unable to help but smile in the legend.
But the initiator of this great situation, Lord Cui, had no time to appreciate this exciting scene. At this time, he was bowing to General Li and pondering hard about the information presented by Guo Xiaosi.
"I never thought, I really thought that this Tianwang Village had such strength! The 'business' recommended by Lord Cui is really not easy to do!" Faced with the number of more than 2,300 bandits, General Li lost his freedom and freedom even when he teased Cui Po.
"This fact is difficult! From the moment when the general doesn't leave, the bandits will definitely not go down the mountain. In this way, we cannot eliminate it; but the general's military orders are in place, and we cannot stay here for a long time. If we want to form combat power in the new recruitment of the state army, it will not be a matter of one night! To unite the troops! It is really hard to rely on him. Although you are unable to attack the city, there are three tribes in it that respond, which is really uneasy." Cui Po said with frowning and said.
"Mo Ru, I will suppress these three tribes first," General Li said with a ferocious face.
Thinking about the letter from Cui Youfu in Beijing that his family had just received yesterday, Cui Po could only suppress this tempting idea, shook his head and said, "What crime should be used to suppress him? We have no actual evidence of the crime. Besides, the three tribes are deeply rooted in Jinzhou. If we want to take action against them and restrain too much, we have not taken action yet, they already know that it is difficult! If we cannot do anything in one go and use thunder means to capture the leaders of the three tribes in one fell swoop, this move will shock the snake and leave endless disasters!"
Upon hearing this, General Li was speechless and could only look at the information and think hard.
There was silence in the Zhongjun barracks again. After a long time, Cui Po slapped the handsome case in front of him and stood up suddenly and said, "I have it!"
"Let's go out, tell me quickly!" General Li, who was frowning, asked anxiously when he heard this.
Cui Po smiled slightly, and said this in detail, but General Li shook his head repeatedly and said, "This plan is good, but you are really too risky! If there is a mistake, how can I explain to Mr. Hun, it must not be!"
", Could it be that the general has a more clever plan? If not, he must follow me. Could it be that the general is not at ease with his soldiers?" Cui Po said slowly with a firm expression.
Seeing that Cui Po had made up his mind, General Li knew that it was difficult to shake his head, so he could only shake his head helplessly and said, "I will rely on you in this way, but you must be more careful."
On the seventh day, the recruitment ended, and a total of 2,850 young and strong men were recruited. Cui Po handed over all the remaining vacancy to Guo Xiaosi and allowed him to deal with it.
On the eighth day, a thousand whirlwind cavalry evacuated Jinzhou and turned to Jinyang, the headquarters of Jieshuai of Hedongdao.
Seeing the black torrent gradually fading away, Cui Po saluted the governor Wei who came to see him off and said, "It is a great negligence to take office until now, but he has not inspected the subordinate prefectures and counties. Now that the recruitment of the prefectures and counties has been completed, the subordinate prefectures and counties is intended to go to various counties a few days later to urge the united soldiers to come. I don't know what the master wants!" His voice was so loud that the little official who stood at the farthest could hear it clearly.
"This is your job, and Cui Chengjun decided to do it himself. However, the road ahead of this state has been unstable recently, so I hope you will be careful," said Wei Governor Wei.

"Okay, since this dog official is in a hurry to die, I will fulfill his promise and avenge my brother who died unjustly in the Ke family! Ke Ming, don't take anyone. Let me leave now and go up the mountain in the evening to tell the king's village leader the news, and ask him to go down the mountain no matter how you go. You tell him: 'Ke, Wang, and Luo Sanjia are dependent on his Tianwang Village. It's time for them to express their feelings this time. If the three masters cherish their bodies too much, then don't want to borrow a piece of grain in the future, and there will be half of the crossbow." In Pingshui Village, the head of the Ke family thought for a while and ordered this after hearing the news.
"Yes" Ke Ming, a short and thin butler with a strand of rat whiskers, retreated respectfully and did not mention it.
"Dragon! Dragon, I'll do this this time. See what else you can use to encourage those old guys to rebel against me. On the day of completion, don't blame me for not thinking about my brother!" Ke Laohu, with a cold face, looked at the third housekeeper leaving and murmured to himself.
Early in the morning of the third day after the Tornado left, the military residence was noisy. Cui Po got up early, went to the single-robed official uniform, endured the heat, and slapped the armor weighing dozens of kilograms neatly, and took the eight guards who were also brightly armored, and rushed to the school ground.
There were 500 united soldiers waiting in the school grounds, and they were about to accompany the military to complete a ten-day patrol.
Cui Po was rushing until the sun was rising. He just pulled the bored second brother Jingfeng together. After three cannons, he went out of the city to travel west, attracting many people to gather and watch. Several curious people followed the team dozens of miles outside the city before turning back.
Along the way, the military officers were only busy walking. The twenty miles away had no rest. With the scorching sun on their heads, these united soldiers who lacked training could only try their best to support them.
From afar, I saw a dense forest ahead, and was inspired by the vast green area. The soldiers could no longer bear it and did not care about the title of "killing stars" by the military. They all clamored to go into the forest to rest, otherwise, even a single step would be impossible.
Fortunately, the generals of the army also understood the reason why the public was angry and could not be violated. Although they were full of anger, they still nodded in agreement. The happy group of soldiers rushed to the forest like a swarm.
Everyone had just sat down and relieved the heat, but heard a loud shout: "When did there be such a clear spring in this forest? Brothers! Come and drink water." Several figures immediately ran towards the depths of the forest.
This forest is not far from the city, and everyone knows that there is no clear spring in the forest. When the soldiers entering are not turned around, half curious, half really thirsty, they just search in groups of three or three.
When I entered the depths, I saw a green green in front of me, and there was a shadow of a clear spring. Just as I was cursing loudly, a cold light suddenly flashed behind me. A sharp steel knife was already on my neck, and a cold voice came: "If you dare to scream, I will kill you." The next moment, a flexible cowhide rope was tied up tightly.
During this period, soldiers began to return one after another. The same outfits seemed to suddenly become fierce again.
"Wang Jun Mansion, I have relied on this time." Cui Po, who was sitting upright, said to a man dressed in a thick-eyed, big-eyed and magistrate of the Unity Army.
"The top scholar is willing to take risks without hesitation. What are we, the man who fights? Don't worry, no one of my brothers is afraid of death. I will protect you even if you die," said the Wang Junfu heroically.
"Along the way, the whereabouts may be leaked." Cui Po asked cautiously.
"Don't worry, since the night before yesterday, we have abandoned our horses and walked from Zhaocheng County on a hiking day and night. We have walked along the deserted paths. Even if we occasionally meet the mountain people, we have come with them. We arrived here at 4 o'clock this morning and captured six woodcutters early in the morning, and there was no possibility of being discovered." Wang Junfu said confidently.
"It's good, there is a saying: You don't lose your country secretly, and your ministers secretly lose your body secretly. The success or failure of this action depends on one secret word, otherwise all previous efforts will be wasted. Today, if the great achievements are completed, I will ask for the military government for the first time." Cui Po, who was worried about it, said.
After resting for two more incense sticks, twenty soldiers were left behind. The team gathered again and followed Cui Po's fingers in his hand and headed northward.
I walked and stopped for another thirty miles. When the army's team arrived at an oval grassland in front of Yuelu Valley, the sun had just turned for two hours.
This Yuelu Valley faces the surging Fen River, which runs north and south through the east road of the river. It is named because of its two mountains that are intersecting with valleys. The narrowest part is that the mountains are steep and the military is dangerous.
Facing the surging Fen River and the green grass on its back, the team seemed to be reluctant to move forward again. It had already rested for two incense sticks, but it was not as if it was about to get up and drive away. After another cup of tea, some soldiers stood up and began to clean up the ground, and they were going to camp.
"Brother, you see, they are not leaving, take your brothers to rush down! This group of united soldiers, as long as they see the bright knife, they will not be able to scatter everywhere. More than 2,000 to 500, why are we still ambushing me? It won't make people laugh if this is spread." On the mountain next to Yuelu Valley, the third leader of the Tianwang Village said to the "Tianwang" next to him with an anxious look on his face.
"No, it's too early, they have absolutely no reason to set up camp. This is strange! Wait until later."
"Since they left the city, the meteor horse scouts in our village have never stopped. Every move is in control. What's wrong with me? In my opinion, it must be that the group of idiot soldiers refused to leave again, and that idiot had to follow the army. Isn't this happening? Brother, give me five hundred people and I will destroy him now, and it's just a matter of picking up two good armors to wear!" The three camp master said more and more anxiously.
"Second, what do you think!" The King of the Great Village Lord ignored him and stood behind him, asking the second village leader who was observing the enemy situation carefully.
"Brother, look, these united soldiers are rolling around on the grass, and Cui Zhanjun is not in charge. What's even more ridiculous is that he even didn't understand the taboos of military strategists, so he actually stood on the riverside. Even if he won the top scorer, the sour scholar is just a sour scholar." The second village leader said with disdain.
"Then let the brothers prepare. Since they don't come up, we can only meet them and tell us that the one who joins the army will live can be exchanged for food and weapons." After observing quietly for a while, the leader of the village who had not seen any abnormality finally couldn't bear it and wanted to take action.
