When Lao Kou heard this, his expression became much heavier. He understood what the other party meant. It was not a good thing for three generations of his father and son to join the army. Before, it was because the Kou family had no other choice and had to do it. But now that there is a substitute, it can no longer be done.
It continues like this.
After all, human beings' instincts include reproduction and survival. Hereditary founding families like the Kou family in Changsha and the Wan family in Fufeng retreated from the central government not just because they were weak, but actually
Their foundation is stronger than most aristocratic families.
But when there is only one person left in the family, and there is only one person left in this lineage, there is still no way to continue fighting with others in the court, and to find a way to spread the branches first, no matter how much politics
Inheritance, no matter how many connections there are, if the people are gone, what's the point?
The same goes for the Kou family's bodyguards. Given the choice, Lao Kou would not kill all his supporters, and Qi Xuan now brought it forward in a serious manner.
"This is what it should be. Both the rebel father and his son are here, leaving one in the army, and the other two have been transferred to local chiefs and county captains. When the two brothers are in the army, one of them has been ordered to become a county official.
"Lao Kou nodded and said, and then smiled again, "It's impossible to put them all back anyway. I will keep one to join the army, and the others will just be this time. The Kou family can't let their own people suffer."
Lao Kou was practicing nepotism. The majority of Kou's bodyguards came from the thousand-man Imperial Guards that Emperor Huan gave to Princess Yiyang. After that, these Imperial Guards married wives and had children in more than forty years. They were as old as Qi Xuan.
There are great-grandchildren.
Some of these people were in the Kou family when Lao Kou was born, some were almost the same age as Lao Kou, and some were equivalent to Lao Kou's nephews.
After all, only the father and son are left in the Kou family. Instead of wasting the private school, training ground, etc., it is better to use them to provide benefits. It is a waste if they are not used anyway.
This is also the reason why the Kou family's private soldiers did not retreat even though they knew the danger. You treat me as a soldier of the country, and I will repay you as a soldier of the country. This will not be over until the Han Dynasty collapses.
For Lao Kou, the guards trained in this way are considered trustworthy relatives even if they are not family members. They are naturally beneficial and can be used vigorously.
"The master's behavior is quite nepotistic." The old man holding the sword looked at the old Kou and warned him. After all, he was a person who had been in the palace. How could he not understand these things at all.
"Okay, my Master Qi, please save it. In our current situation, I don't do nepotism. Recruit a group of reliable subordinates for me." Lao Kou rolled his eyes and said, "This is not me playing hooligan, even if it is.
In terms of fairness and justice, at least we have a group of suitable candidates. When no one is available, I think you are quite reliable."
"But in this case, more than 2,000 positions will be lost." Qi Xuan said with some worry.
"If you're afraid of Mao, aren't there other official positions? At least we can trust our own people." Lao Kou said nonchalantly, "If something really happens, I don't know what the people who have been recruited are thinking, but we people will definitely not
Damn, have you forgotten what happened on the previous battlefield?"
Qi Xuan saw that the head of the family had made up his mind and stopped saying anything. He was just suggesting. Since Lao Kou had already made up his mind, it was hard for him to say anything more. Moreover, Lao Kou's approach was equivalent to giving the Kou family a favor in some respects.
The guards distribute benefits.
"Don't think too much. After all, this is the place that our Kou family conquered by ourselves. Can other families who want to share the cake attack us?" Old Kou said rather domineeringly, "We want fists.
If you have fists, you have to have a background, and tell your family what’s wrong. It’s like we didn’t conquer this place, but that line will do.”
Qi Xuan nodded after hearing the words. Lao Kou knew well that it was difficult to say anything else based on his status. After all, he was just an old guard who had been with Her Royal Highness for more than forty years. If the situation had not changed, he would have been there before.
It’s time to go back and retire.
"If you work harder, at least teach those young people the unique skill of the Sound Killing Sword. If this legion reaches your level, it will be really strong." Lao Kou grinned at Qi Xuan, and then bowed.
He cupped his hands and Qi Xuan nodded.
For Qi Xuan, this matter can only be said to be a matter of trying his best. Whether he can reach his level depends on luck and talent.
After all, the sharp warriors in the Yin Sha Sword version have reached the level of Qi Xuan. They form a group of 5,000 people, wear regular Han Dynasty plate armor, and encounter three unknowing talents. For the first time, they can definitely go head-to-head and fight to the death of both sides. Yin Sha Sword
The sword has reached the level of Qi Xuan, with its cutting ability of high-frequency oscillation, dizziness of sonic oscillation, and partial damage ability. The opponent he encounters for the first time is unprepared and will be absolutely embarrassed.
This is a legion that has the ability to attack in a real sense and can control and damage opponents. Apart from having no defensive talent and moving at the same speed as normal infantry, it does not have many shortcomings at all.
As for the fact that the weapon cannot withstand long-term high-frequency vibrations because there is no magic hidden in the sword, this can be corrected by the strength of the weapon. As long as the legion is strong enough, the country will accept orders for customized weapons. And based on Qi Xuan's performance at the time,
The whole legion has this quality, Chen Xile's custom-made one.
The strength of the material cannot be determined. Isn't it just mechanical vibration? Come on, use antimony alloy.
"Then our core elite will be left to you." Lao Kou said with a smile.
"I will do my best." Qi Xuan nodded.
The quality of Kou's guards is unlikely to improve in a short time. In this case, you only need to dig deep into your talents.
After sending his old commander away, Lao Kou let out a sigh of relief. If they continue to mess around like this, the Chola Dynasty can still operate, but it is still far from reaching the level they want. Next, they need to find professionals.
, formulate strategic planning.
In Chang'an, the news of Kou's victory over the Chola Dynasty has not yet spread, but the entire Chang'an has been decorated with lights and colorful decorations to welcome the return of the victorious army.
It sounds like I have been doing these minute things all too often in the past few years, but I am getting better and better at it.
"Liu Jiyu, you can't afford it!" Yuan Shu, who was riding Gungun and running along Zhuque Street, cursed angrily at Liu Zhang, who was also riding Gungun beside him.
"You can't afford it. I'm your father. If you have the guts to entrust me to that place, why can't I?" Liu Zhang scolded Yuan Shu unceremoniously. The two of them were now each other's biological fathers.
"That's my son's filial piety, what does that mean to you?" Yuan Shu scolded Liu Zhang with a dark face. Sun Ce, who had been fighting very hard in the past two years, finally gained a foothold in the south. Although selling coconuts is not a good business, but
Make money. If you have money, you can start construction.
Sun Ce was a very strange person. He didn't know why he planned a place in the south for Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu was also very strange. Although he didn't go, of course he had to accept the gift from his son, so he went to Liu Ye.
I reported it there and said it was okay to count it as my own.
Liu Ye had always kept a respectful distance from Yuan Shu. After thinking about the things Yuan Shu brought, he thought that doing more would be better than doing less, so he registered it as an internal historian. From then on, this place was
It nominally belongs to Yuan Shu.
Although Yuan Shu may not be able to go there a few times in his life, in theory that place belongs to Yuan Shu. Then Liu Zhang received the news from somewhere, so he made a deal with Sun Ce in private. Sun Ce had the impression that Liu Zhang and Yuan Shu were related.
very good.
Although Yuan Shu and Liu Zhang insulted each other and were each other's biological fathers, in general the two of them hung out together, becoming kings and hegemons in various places and causing harm along the way, so Sun Ce nodded.
For the big guys, this kind of thing was just a matter of a letter, so Liu Zhang settled it quickly, and then went to Liu Ye to help him with the process before Yuan Shu found out.
When Liu Ye saw the materials that Liu Zhang had obtained, although he felt a little hurt, he still helped Liu Zhang to register. By the time Yuan Shu discovered that something was wrong, the fiefdom Liu Zhang created had already enclosed Yuan Shu's previous fiefdom of hundreds of miles.
Then the two sides started fighting outside the Weiyang Palace while riding Gungun. Liu Tong lay on the fence and watched the whole scene without calling a palace guard to separate the two.
Especially later, Liu Tong even had chairs, dried fruits, and cakes brought in, and he also took the lead in applauding and shouting. If Zhang Chunhua hadn't remembered that Yuan Shu had helped, Liu Zhang and Yuan Shu would not have had to step down that day, and they would have been embarrassed at their grandma's house.
"Everywhere the sun and the moon shine, and wherever the rivers reach, are all Han lands. Wherever I, Liu Zhang, want to be enfeoffed is not a matter of words. If you fight with me, who will be the boss?" Liu Zhang looked proud.
"If you dare, come with me to Eastern Europe, the headquarters of the Yuan family, and I'll blow your head off." Yuan Shu was really angry this time. Liu Zhang was really very good at speaking sometimes.
"Just go, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it." Liu Zhang scolded angrily, "Anyway, I've decided where you, you piece of shit, will be entrusted. I'll set up a circle around you outside and collect tolls from you. I'll charge you when you go in, and you'll be charged when you come out. I'll make you anxious."
Okay, let’s build another Great Wall outside you to surround you.”
"Liu Jiyu, you piece of shit, just wait." Yuan Shu's face was livid, and he decided to ask Sun Ce for another place to surround Liu Zhang. Can you surround me?
"Come on, come on, I'm waiting." Liu Zhang rode Gungun with a sullen expression. He is a professional in building roads and bridges. Why are you calling it a highway? I can surround you.
"Just wait, my men are back, I won't blow you up this time." Yuan Shu cursed angrily.
"It's as if my number one general has not returned." Liu Zhang looked proud. Zhang Ren's performance in the south, no matter how shameful Zhang Ren felt, at least looked very good to Liu Zhang, which greatly boosted morale.
There is no better way to slap Yuan Shu in the face.
Yuan Shu was too lazy to curse anymore. He had watched Zhang Ren's video many times. It was so in line with the aesthetics of this group of older middle school students.
