Chapter IX Military Neutrality

On that day, the sky was clear.

Yuan Fang rode a white horse, wearing silver armor, and a sword hanging on his waist. He rode his head up and walked out of Yecheng.

Behind him was the confidant servant Yuan Gui, the personal maid Xiao Cha, and seven or eight trusted men.

After looking at Yecheng for the last time, Yuan Fang's heart suddenly felt a sense of pleasure of flying birds coming out of the cage.

"I can finally leave this city that despise me. I will always come back one day, with dignity and your fear of me..."

Yuan Fang secretly swore, turned around and whipped the horse, and left with his head held high.

The sky is clear, let me fly.

After leaving the city several miles, Yuan Fang passed through his private house and mixed the millions of money into his luggage and headed to Pingyang City twenty miles away.

In the afternoon, Yuan Fang and his party arrived in Pingyang City and entered Pingyang Military Camp.

He will take over the two thousand troops stationed here and lead him to conquer Qingzhou.

After emitting troops, he successfully entered the camp and entered the central army's tent. Yuan Fang sat in the commander's position and ordered four military waiters and two Simas to come and visit.

The official position given to Yuan Shao by Yuan Fang was the chief lieutenant, and he had two troops.

The system of the army consists of five hundred people as a song, with military patrols, and two songs as a song, with Sima.

There were successively a military commander under the military marquis, with team leaders, commanders, sergeants, and commanders in ranks.

Sima and Junhou were considered senior officers in Yuan Fang's army. Yuan Fang took over these two thousand soldiers and horses, so he naturally had to start by understanding these senior officers.

Half an hour passed, and only one person came.

Yuan Fang became a little angry and asked the soldiers of the commemoration: "Where have the other four people gone? Why don't you come to see Bendu?"

"Report to the young master, the three military marquis and two Simas were sick and they all took leave and could not dig the Mao." The commissar said.

"I started to dissatisfied. I was probably instigated by someone. I wanted to give me some advice."

Yuan Fang thought a little in his mind and guessed that it was probably Yuan Xi and the others who had stumbling on him. He took office the day before, and the five senior officers under him said they were sick. How could they send troops to fight?

Yuan Fang's eyes flashed, he pulled out the command arrow from the case and shouted: "Yuan Gui, take a few people, take my command arrows and catch all the five guys for me."

Soon, Yuan Gui captured all the three military guards and two Simas.

"Young Master, when the young man brought people there, these five dogs were gathering to gamble, and they were not sick at all." Yuan Gui said angrily.

These five people were called sick, and Yuan Fang could not punish them. Now they were gambling and just got the handle for Yuan Fang.

"As an officer, he actually took the lead in gambling and blatantly violated military discipline. It's really hateful. Come on, drag it down and serve it with a military stick." Yuan Fang angrily ordered.

Yuan Gui got the order and called his confidant subordinates, dragging the five people out without any explanation. He didn't listen to their begging for forgiveness, and directly called them with a big stick.

Bang bang bang bang...

The muffled sound of sticks hitting the flesh, mixed with "Oh" screams, hissings and howlings alarmed the entire barracks inside and outside.

Anyone who is familiar with the rules of the military knows that this is spanking with a military stick.

The soldiers from Pingyang Camp were all frightened today. When they stood with swords and guns, their calves were twitching.

No one expected that the second son of the Yuan family, who was rumored to be a waste, would be so powerful that he would beat their superiors when he took office the day before.

Five military officers who were usually majestic and domineering to their subordinates have now been stripped of their pants and howled like a pig with a thick wooden stick, and their majesty has disappeared.

A quarter of an hour later, the pole was over.

Yuan Gui stepped into the tent and bowed, "Young Master, they all admitted it. Last night, each of them received 10,000 yuan, saying that they wanted them to kill the new commander's mighty power, and told the young master that he could not start."

When there was no war, each soldier spent only 6,000 yuan a year. Just buying these five people would be 50,000 yuan, which was considered a considerable amount of money.

"These two guys Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi are really rich. They spend so much money just to make me unable to command the army. Humph, I just let your wishful thinking fail."

Yuan Fang was not ruthless and immediately ordered the five officers to be removed from the military post and drove them out of the military camp on the spot.

Yuan Fang had known that Yuan Tan and the others would cause trouble, and now he could promote new people and cultivate his own lineage after he had just opened these five people.

This army would be the basis for his career, and Yuan Fang naturally had to ensure that he was completely loyal to himself and became his own private soldier.

However, Yuan Fang was leading the army for the first time and was still unfamiliar with military affairs. He had to find someone familiar with this army to understand the situation.

At this time, Yuan Fang's eyes turned to the solemn military waiter in front of the tent.

Among the four military waiters, he was the only one who had not been ill and was called to visit.

The military man was in his twenties, wearing fish scale armor, with a ring-headed knife around his waist and hips. The tight and strong muscles inside the military uniform were supported, making him look full of energy.

Moreover, this person looked calm and listened to the sound of being beaten outside, but he remained calm and had some courage.

"Why didn't you collect money and get instructed by others, but come to see you obediently?" Yuan Fang asked curiously.

"Military law is like a mountain, and my subordinates dare not violate it." The military Hou replied calmly.

Yuan Fang nodded slightly and admired the military officer in front of him.

Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi are extremely powerful, but they are an unwelcome illegitimate child and a "smart" person. You should know which side can't afford to offend.

Although this army was aware of this, he risked the offense of Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi and still strictly guarded the military orders. He must be a righteous person.

Yuan Fang needs such talents.

"Yes, it's a bit of integrity." Yuan Fang nodded and asked, "What's your name? Who's from?"

"Young Master Hui, his subordinate Hao Zhao, whose courtesy name is Bodao, was from Taiyuan, Bingzhou." The military man said loudly.

Hao Zhao!

Although this name is not as well-known as thunder, it is enough to stir up some turmoil in Yuan Fang's heart.

In history, Hao Zhao, with thousands of soldiers, blocked the fierce attack of Zhuge Liang's 100,000 troops in Chen Cang, which was enough to stop a general.

Yuan Fang is also a history lover. I vaguely remember that Hao Zhao is indeed from Taiyuan. Then, Hao Zhao in front of him must be the deity.

"I am worried that there are no talents under my command. Hao Zhao is really helping me in time..."

Yuan Fang nodded: "Depending on you, you are also a talented person. I will give you a chance. You can explain the general situation in the army clearly in a few words. If you say it well, I will promote you to Sima."

Hao Zhao became famous when Chen Cang fought against Zhuge Liang. Now, the young Hao Zhao has some strength, Yuan Fang has to take the exam more than him.

Hao Zhao looked at Yuan Fang in surprise, and seemed to have not expected that the third young master Yuan in front of him was not only not as weak as rumored, but also wanted to promote himself.

"Our Pingyang Camp is not an elite force in Jizhou. It can only be regarded as a second-rate soldier. There are 200 archers, 1,500 swords and shields, and 300 baggage soldiers. They are trained every three days, and they are once every seven days..."

Hao Zhao said without stopping, and in a few words, he explained the situation of Pingyang Camp clearly.

When Yuan Fang asked him the names of the lower-level military officers in the army, he could answer them, and even remember the names of ordinary soldiers clearly.

Yuan Fang couldn't help but say wonder: "You remember the names of so many people in the army, and this memory is extraordinary."

"Young Master, my subordinates are born with a good memory. Anyone who has met once can remember their names." Hao Zhao showed some confidence at this time.

"Okay!" Yuan Fang nodded with satisfaction, "From now on, you will be Sima."

Hao Zhao was a righteous man and knew the situation in the army well. Yuan Fang had already seen that he was good at using it, so of course he would not be stingy with promotion.

Hao Zhao was very surprised and bowed his hands and said gratefully: "Thank you for your support, Zhao will definitely work hard for your son."

Hao Zhao has been fooled by the position of military commander for many years and has been reluctant to be promoted because of his upright nature. Now Yuan Fang is keen to know Ying and promoted to Sima. How can he not be grateful?

Yuan Ban ordered him to summon all the soldiers of the two divisions to the school grounds.

Soon, two thousand soldiers from Pingyang Camp gathered in the east schoolyard, and each of them was extremely curious, wanting to see how their new commander, the second young master with a low status in the Yuan family looked like.

Under the gaze of the soldiers, Yuan Fangbu went to the stage, and behind him, Yuan Gui commanded several personal soldiers and carried up the big boxes.

"Everyone says that Mr. Yuan is a cripple, but why is he not lame at all? He is quite majestic?"

"It's different from the rumors. This second young master Yuan must be a real person who doesn't show his appearance. No wonder he dared to beat up several military officers as soon as he took office."

All the soldiers speculated that they were secretly intimidated by Yuan Fang's demeanor and did not dare to look directly at him.

Yuan Fang waved his hand and the soldiers opened the box, and the golden copper coins immediately spent the eyes of the two thousand soldiers present.

"You all listen. I, Yuan Fang, leads the army just to strive for success. You are under my command. As long as you practice day and night and fight the enemy bravely, you will naturally be inseparable from your benefits! I have a lot of money. Today I set a rule that even if you die in battle, I will deal with your family's affairs!"

Yuan Fang grabbed handfuls of coins and threw them back into the box. The collision of coins made a crisp sound that made people itchy.
