Liu Xiang's words also made Zhao Yun very excited.
Zhao Yun felt that he had finally met the Ming Lord. He was very ambitious and imagined that he would be able to flex his muscles in the future.
Liu Xiang was not so shocked that he lost his mind. He always remembered that Zhao Yun was introduced by Zhen Yi.
They must be cut apart.
Then Zhao Yun cannot be allowed to lead an army alone. The two thousand strong servants sent by Zhen Yi must also be divided and dispersed, and cannot stay under Zhao Yun's command.
It's a pity that both the front and rear armies lack captains who can take charge of their own affairs. Zhao Yun is a good choice. He can lead two thousand young men across the chaotic Zhongshan Kingdom without too many casualties in the team, which shows that he has the ability to lead troops.
.
Liu Xiang had promised before that he would treat him as a captain. He could not break his promise, but had to increase the pressure.
Winning people's hearts has to pay a price. The position of captain in each battalion of the Chinese army cannot be promoted easily, which will make Liu Xiang's Yuan never angry.
After much deliberation, only the commander of his own bodyguard is the most suitable.
He opened his mouth and said: "The main force of our army is based on the central army, and the various departments of the central army are based on the central camp. I have led the guards to charge into battle many times. I am not afraid of Zilong's jokes. I encountered a fierce enemy general before.
There are no generals in Suwei, so danger is everywhere!
Zilong, will you be willing to command the guards for me and lead five hundred armored cavalry to protect me in the charge?"
The commander of the personal guards was regarded as a close confidant. He had just come to seek refuge and was able to gain such trust. Zhao Yun felt grateful and bowed his hands in salute: "I am willing to use my body to protect the Lord."
Liu Xiang nodded, sat upright, and said loudly: "Appoint Zhao Yun as the captain of the Zhongba camp and take charge of all matters of the guards. Today, I will first enter the yellow book, the war equipment, and seal the ribbon. I will make up for it later."
"The last general accepts the order and thanks my lord for the promotion."
Once you have been granted an official title, your name has been corrected, and you have been entered into the yellow book, you are considered to have taken office. As for whether Zhao Yun can convince the public, that depends on Zhao Yun's ability.
Men in the army are respected by the strong, and Zhao Yun needs to convince the knights themselves. Liu Xiang can't take care of this, and he doesn't want to.
The two chatted for a few more words, and it was already dark.
Zhao Yun resigned and went to inspect the camp.
Liu Xiang reminded: "Our army is not far from the county seat, so we must be careful to guard against enemy sneak attacks."
"My lord, please rest assured and take good care of your health. Please take some rest. Zhao will block it for me."
Seeing that Zhao Yun was full of confidence, Liu Xiang stopped talking.
Zhao Yun quit the tent and went to patrol the camp. It was getting late tonight, so he was not in a hurry to convince his subordinates. The lord's personal guards must be arrogant, and he knew this, but he had confidence in himself.
Liu Xiang's bodyguards also had strong opinions on the newly appointed captain. In order to support this man named Zhao Yun, their lord's injury worsened, and they all had grievances.
They were just afraid of disturbing Liu Xiang's rest, and since they were camping in the wild, they needed to be careful. They couldn't escape for a while, and were prepared to cause trouble for Zhao in the future.
Liu Xiang put aside all the external matters, put some skins on his head, wrapped himself in a quilt and concentrated on sleeping.
I slept until noon the next day.
After a good sleep, I feel that my physical strength has recovered a lot and my body is much better.
Su Wei brought food to him and prepared a bowl of poultry soup for him. He said that it was the birds that Zhao Duwei left the camp at Chenshi to hunt for his lord. It had been stewed all morning, and the bones and meat were all crispy. It was the most nutritious.
Liu Xiang looked at his dark blue cheeks and said nervously: "You've been beaten, have you accepted it?"
This Su Wei's name is Zhao Jing. He is eight feet tall and has strong muscles. He prides himself on his bravery. He has fisted with Cui Yi and fought against Guan Yu. He is one of the bravest people in Su Wei.
He is illiterate, has a hot temper, loves to admit death, and refuses to accept anyone. He once served as a team leader, but ever since he saw Liu Xiang "refining elixirs" and avoiding "heavenly punishment", he regarded Liu Xiang as
He went down to the lower world for the god-man and followed him with all his heart as a personal follower.
Although he had achieved many military exploits and had already achieved three levels of military rank, he was still a cavalryman. He didn't care and didn't want to lead troops. He just wanted to follow Liu Xiang, saying that he could imbibe the immortal spirit.
Zhao Jing rubbed his head and said nonchalantly: "Although Captain Zhao can fight, he is still a mortal, and I am different from him. I and my lord have gone through the punishment of heaven together, how can they be compared to mortals."
This man was already fascinated, and Liu Xiang didn't bother to explain. He nodded helplessly: "Yes, yes, you are no longer a mortal body. When I ascend, I will take you with me."
Zhao Jing cupped his hands gratefully and said: "Thank you, Lord. I said that my Lord is not a mortal. Today, my Lord let it slip, and I was indeed right!"
Liu Xiang regretted it. He made a casual comment and was made up again. He was afraid that someone would ask him about some random things again, so he raised his index finger to his mouth: "Shh~, the secret must not be leaked."
Zhao Jing covered his mouth, glanced around vigilantly, then moved closer to Liu Xiang, and whispered: "Don't worry, my lord, I will never leak out."
Liu Xiang nodded according to his wishes, calmed his emotions, and then asked about Zhao Yun: "You guys went out to have a fight? How did it happen?"
"At Chenshi, the brothers on duty went out to camp with Captain Zhao. I heard that the captain picked off sixteen of them in succession. Later, the captain took out his bow and showed off his archery skills. He shot through poplars with a hundred steps and shot birds with arrows. They surrendered.
.”
"And you?"
"I went to see him for a martial arts competition. I tried riding and fighting on foot, but he was no match for me."
"Then what?"
"Then I'll be back."
Liu Xiang blinked. It seemed that he had said one less word. He asked more closely: "Are you still not convinced?"
"I am different from him." After saying this, Zhao Jing added: "I just wanted to compete with him and had no other meaning. If the lord recognizes him, then he is the captain. I will just follow the lord and don't care about others.
"
It seems that Zhao Yun has initially convinced this group of Suwei. After gradually getting used to it, it will not be a problem to lead the Suwei.
After Liu Xiang washed up and ate, someone asked to see him again. All the people who came to vote yesterday had arrived. There were more than 160 of them, and Zhao Yun had arranged a separate camp.
The leading people came to pay their respects and were already waiting outside the tent.
"Bring it in."
Zhao Yun led three people into the tent. These people were wearing dark clothes with straight skirts and wide robes. They looked quite wealthy, and they were definitely not ordinary people in Guizhou.
The three of them clasped their hands and saluted: "Sun Yi, Wei Li, and Tian Cheng, pay your respects to General Liu."
Liu Xiang nodded and returned the greeting: "Without courtesy, please sit down."
The three of them sat on the ground, and Zhao Yun stood beside Liu Xiang to protect each other.
"I feel very relieved that several strong men have come to surrender. I wonder if you want to follow the army or join the army?"
To follow the army is to prepare their own combat equipment, actively follow the army to fight, and obey the command, but they are not regular soldiers and do not receive military pay. Their own spoils of war belong to themselves. They will receive rewards for killing enemies, but they will not be included in the military title series.
During the Han Dynasty, most of the famous Sanhe Knights, Huangzhong Yi Cong, and vassal knights, and Hu Cavalry recruited were of this nature. They were equivalent to mercenaries, but they had to obey the command of military lieutenant generals and had no right to fight independently.
This kind of troops saves money than regular soldiers. They only need to set a reward and be responsible for some food and grass supplies. The pension is also cheap, and sometimes no pension is required.
Liu Bei pulled up a team to join the army to conquer the Yellow Turbans, which was also of the same nature. It was just that the Ling Emperor had given the order, so there was additional merit in conquering the Yellow Turbans.
To join the army is to enlist in the army, there is nothing to say about that.
Among the three, Sun Yi was the leader. He spoke back:
"Informing the general, a certain group of men is willing to fight with the army, and is also willing to be the first to attack the city. I just ask the general to reward him with more rice grains. The folks in the pavilion have no food for the winter, and a certain group of men is not willing to sacrifice their lives and allows the general to drive them. I only ask for
Some rice."
Liu Xiang was very confused. Looking at their clothes, they didn't look like they were short of money. How could they work so hard for food?
