Li Daniu sat down on the chair in the courtyard. Half of his pants were torn and his legs were bloody.
Zhang Bao was shocked.
"Oh, Master, don't mention it."
"When I went up the mountain today, I heard that a tiger in the mountain hurt someone."
"I was preparing to go down the mountain quickly, but I was surprised by a yellow-furred fox. I thought it was a tiger, and rolled down the mountain without paying attention."
"That's when I fell."
"It's okay, no bones were hurt."
Li Daniu said with lingering fear.
"tiger?"
"Then don't go into the mountains recently. This tiger is different from a wolf and cannot be dealt with by humans at all."
"We have enough food in storage. Besides, there are more people on the move now, so they can buy it."
"Safety first."
"You sit down, I'll cook two dishes, and have a glass of wine to calm down!"
Zhang Bao was also a little scared.
He immediately told Li Daniu not to go into the mountain again.
After a while.
Zhang Bao brought out two dishes from the kitchen.
Li Daniu was stunned for a moment, but when he saw the wine Zhang Bao brought over, he didn't care about anything else and just started eating.
"Sister Xiaoyue, didn't you say that your husband-in-law was a young master before?"
"How could you do such a thing?"
“The cooking is so delicious.”
Ma Yan'er stared at Su Xiaoyue who was standing aside.
"hey-hey!"
"My husband-in-law is very powerful!"
"He knows a lot, you will know it later!"
Su Xiaoyue looked arrogant.
Ma Yaner's face was flushed on the side.
I will gradually know what it means later...
Could it be said that she has already discovered it?
oops!
So shameful!
Ma Yan'er didn't have the nerve to stay longer, so she just found an excuse and ran away.
…
At this time, he was inside the military camp of Sanhe County.
Ma Yuanming was sending some blacksmiths out.
After Ma Yan'er came out of prison, Ma Yuanming felt relieved.
Recently, I have supervised the completion of dozens of crossbows.
The spare materials they brought with them during the previous march have been used up, so they couldn't do much, so they first equipped dozens of people.
These people and horses.
They were all soldiers under Chen Dadao before.
This time I come to Sanhe County.
No one expected it.
He actually stayed and stayed like this.
We marched lightly all the way, basically bringing nothing with us.
Except for a doctor accompanying the army, there were not even any craftsmen in the military camp.
Some of the weapons were broken, so I had to ask people from the county government to repair them.
In terms of food and grass, the food and grass I brought earlier have long been used up.
The governor's food and fodder have yet to arrive.
Now we all rely on the support of the county magistrate.
Therefore, Ma Yuanming always feels a lot of constraints when doing things.
The most important thing is.
The five hundred of them are now considered trapped.
Unable to advance or retreat.
There was no movement on the rebel side, and he couldn't go out to fight. With the current number of people, he couldn't fight at all.
Even if you want to retreat, you can't.
Firstly, he had military orders, and secondly, there was no news at all from General Chen.
We can only remain in a stalemate.
Ma Yuanming secretly thought that he could never go on like this.
Since the number is small, it might be better to conduct recruitment training in the county government. Even if they cannot take the initiative to attack the rebels, they can still increase their defensive strength a lot.
But now we are in the county seat of Sanhe County after all.
If you want to recruit troops, you need the support of the county magistrate, whether it is soldiers, horses, money or food.
Ma Yuanming made up his mind and did not lead any troops.
Take a small sedan and walk towards the county government.
After telling the county magistrate about my idea.
The county magistrate seemed to be at a loss for ideas. He said he would think about it, but without giving him a confirmation, he sent him back first.
Ma Yuanming was left sighing in the sedan chair.
Feeling irritable, I simply got out of the sedan chair and strolled towards the military camp.
before.
Because of his daughter's matter, he was made things difficult for the county prince. Later, he used Zhang Bao's plan and evened the situation with the county prince.
He really didn't want the county magistrate to be stuck again because of what happened before.
After all, it is all for the many people in Sanhe County.
In a few days, prepare to go to the county magistrate to discuss it carefully. As long as you don't touch your nose and face, you can still give the face you deserve...
Ma Yuanming just walked into the military camp.
I saw dozens of people practicing crossbows on the shooting range.
After standing and watching for a while, my hands felt itchy, so I simply took a crossbow and started practicing on the shooting range.
I have to say.
This crossbow is very convenient to use.
The power is not small either.
How could such a mature armament product be made by a small restaurant owner?
Ma Yuanming became more and more interested in his brother Zhang.
This person.
He really doesn't look like an ordinary shopkeeper.
Not only is he resourceful, but he also seems to know a few things about leading troops in war.
When I had a casual chat with him before, what he said was very reasonable, which surprised him, a military prince who had led troops for many years.
But I didn't expect it.
This kind of person is willing to be a shopkeeper.
If you serve as a soldier and fight, you will definitely achieve great results.
It seems that I still need to talk to him more in the future.
Now is the time to employ people. It would be great if we could persuade him to join the army.
But the last time I told him, he had completely rejected it.
If you tell me yourself, I'm afraid there won't be any changes.
Recently, that girl kept running there, and when she came back, she would chatter to herself about various things about Zhang Bao.
Should I let the girl talk about it?
That’s not right!
Is there anything going on with this girl?
Ma Yuanming trembled all over when he thought of this.
Although this treasure is good, he already has a family after all.
Is the daughter of my dignified military lord going to be a concubine?
If her mother finds out, why doesn’t she scold me to death?
Besides, that's my brother!
What a mess!
Ma Yuanming shook his head.
He tossed his sleeves and walked in.
…
The mansion of the county magistrate.
"Master Huang, what do you think about the fact that Marquis Ma wants to recruit troops?"
As soon as Ma Yuanming left.
The county magistrate called Mr. Huang over.
He recounted what Ma Yuanming told him from beginning to end.
