Everyone was refreshed again.

Finally the key is reached.

Half of Zhang's troops were led by General Zhang Bu and sent a thousand men to attack Beishan Fort. Beishan Fort was in ruins and had few soldiers. How could they compete with him?

If you can't compete with him, it's better to take action. Then there's no point in killing Jin Baihu.

In full view of everyone, Wu Nian took off the saber from his waist and placed it on the coffee table. In his eyes, he sneered, "Ban Bian Zhang is very strong, indeed very strong. But I judge that this time he

It’s just a bluff.”

At this point, the sneer on Wu Nian's face grew thicker and he said: "Half Zhang is from a scholarly family, not a real bandit. Some of them are still officials in Chu State. If Zhang Bu here led his troops to fight a bloody battle in Beishan Fort,

, the news spread to Chu State. What will the court think?"

After a pause, Wu Nian continued: "If we take advantage of Ban Bian Zhang's power and escape, then we will be playing into Ban Bian Zhang's hands."

"Of course. The bluff will change. If we show weakness when defending the city, Ban Bian Zhang will quickly pounce on us and defeat us in a short time."

Only then did everyone wake up and slap their thighs, it was true.

They were all frightened by Ban Zhang's reputation, and their first thought was to run away.

But Ban Zhang is not a bandit. They are clearly attacking Beishan Fort now, so it is most likely a bluff.

But this bluff is also extremely dangerous.

If they show weakness, then Ban Bian Zhang may dare to attack.

Kill Wu Nian and leave.

Based on this judgment, it will be easy to handle. If you are too strong, then Beishan Fort will be even stronger. If you dare to come up, I will crush your teeth.

As long as you are not afraid, there is a way.

If you're afraid, you're doomed.

Wu Nian raised his head and glanced at everyone. After they had finished digesting it, he said: "First, issue an announcement and tell all the military households about this matter. I have considerable prestige and can make them believe it."

I stand on the city to increase the power of Beishan Castle."

"Second, starting from the hundred households, all officials are not allowed to deduct money and food from the soldiers. In addition, when replenishing the soldiers of each banner, they are not allowed to eat empty pay."

"Third, let Li Yong lead the men to temporarily repair the cracks in the city wall with wood."

"Yes." Chen Jinshi and Xiao Qi were instantly possessed by the God of War, their courage returned, and they responded loudly.

At this time, they did not consider the issue of interests that they could not withhold military rations and eat empty pay. They had to get over the difficulties first.

Under Wu Nian's coordination, this dilapidated 100-household residence became a real 100-household residence.

Needless to say more about Li Yong, he was originally responsible for repairing the city wall. Now he has nothing to do, so he can only temporarily erect wood and make emergency repairs to the city wall.

Anyway, the military households are very hard-working if they are paid wages.

To issue an announcement requires Wu Nian's huge reputation.

The gentleman who was responsible for doing these things in the Baihu Station wrote the notice quickly. Some soldiers, beating gongs and drums, posted the notice on the designated bulletin board in the Baihu Station, and explained to the military households what happened.

Military households gathered in front of the bulletin board one by one, watching and discussing.

"Ban Bian Zhang is really bold. He actually dared to lead a thousand elite soldiers to attack the imperial guard post."

"Don't be afraid. We are not vegetarians. We are all military households. Who can't shoot an arrow? In addition, we are guarding the city wall. As long as we are not afraid of death, even a thousand elite soldiers on half sides cannot attack us."

"Yes. It's also mentioned above. Now the small banners of Baihu Station have begun to recruit soldiers. They will receive preferential treatment and no military rations will be deducted. You see, there is also Wu Xiaoqi's guarantee. If it were someone else who was an official, I wouldn't believe it.

But Wu Xiaoqi is famous for treating his soldiers preferentially. The last time Jiang You died, he gave him thirty taels of silver. How many people wanted to squeeze into his Xiaoqi, but unfortunately they couldn't."

"That's right. With Wu Xiaoqi here, why are you afraid of being half-hearted? Let's go and join the army. As long as the officials don't deduct military rations and don't let us farm the land. Who doesn't want to be a soldier? Being a soldier is nourishing."

Relying on Wu Nian's huge reputation, the military households thought about it and did it. They strode towards the military camp one after another.

The entire hundred households have a population of 2,000 to 3,000 people.

Men reach adulthood at the age of twenty.

The average lifespan of people in Liaodong is low, with fewer elderly people and more robust people. There are seven or eight hundred people in this group of young people, young people, and middle-aged people. Eighty percent of the people signed up to join the army at one time. This small military camp suddenly

There was no room for people, so there was a long queue.

Not to mention that the army is approaching the city now.

This would have been unimaginable before.

But with the support of Wu Nian's huge reputation, everything fell into place.

In the main room of Baihusuo, after everyone got the news, they were all refreshed and full of strength. We are a guard station, so what are we afraid of?

Putting aside whether Ban Bianzhang was bluffing or not, with such great power, he would not be afraid even if it meant a bloody battle.

"Brother, this is all your prestige." Li Kun took a deep breath, raised his right hand towards Wu Nian, and gave a thumbs up.

Wu Nian shook his head and said nothing.

This means that water can carry a boat and also capsize it.

As long as the officials are good to the people, the people will help the officials.

Those who have attained the right will receive much help, while those who have lost the right will receive little help.

"Come here. Go and call Wang Gui in." Wu Nian raised his head and said to the guard outside the door.

"Yes." The soldier responded, turned around and went down.

Soon after, Wang Gui, wearing armor and a battle coat, walked in, bowed to everyone, and then stood still.

Wu Nian raised his head and looked at Wang Gui, and he was also very satisfied. This was the old brother who followed him for the first time. Although he was weak and sick in the past, after his life got better, his body gradually became stronger.

"You are responsible for recruiting soldiers. The best way is to run and select those with good physical strength. In addition, men who are single generations of three generations are not wanted. Neither are those whose fathers or brothers are in the army."

Wu Nian had the demeanor of a general and said in a deep voice.

"Yes." The two of them responded loudly, turned around and left.

There are scruples when it comes to a single inheritance for three generations. When a father or son or a brother is in the army, one of them has to go back. This is a military art that existed in ancient times.

Originally we had to eliminate the old and the weak, but in order to avoid turmoil, we decided not to do it this time. Zhang Sheng and Wang Gui did a good job. It only took an hour to select the troops.

After Wu Nian heard the report, he immediately asked people to beat drums and mobilize troops.

The small bannermen went down first and led the ten soldiers of each banner to the school field to arrange themselves in order. At about the same time, Wu Nian, Li Kun, and Chen Jinshi arrived at the school field together, and climbed onto the platform to look ahead.

Wu Nian stood here and looked down, and couldn't help but think of the scene a few months ago when he was standing below, looking up at Jin Mancheng, Li Kun, and Cheng Gao.

It's only been a few months.

He was already standing on the stage, looking at the soldiers below.

Moreover, the audience was not a mess, but a full staff of 110 people.

The nominal leader is Li Kun, but in reality he is the general.

What a small flag officer, he's just a soldier from the seventh rank.

The general flag is just like that.

Only these 100 households, commanding 112 soldiers, can be considered true military commanders.

Today is the beginning of my military service.
