049 Returning to the old place is nothing but explosion
Suddenly I discovered that because Drunkard was down the list, the apprentice entered the second place on the second-level new book list, and was still more than 2,000 points away from Hadron, so the apprentice was impulsive~

Unexpectedly, the dividend would be as much as three thousand gold. Wen Yuan was surprised by the business strength of the Zhen family. Wen Yuan thought that his Xiuwen Academy was being built, and suddenly a strange idea came to his mind.
After thinking deeply, Wen Yuan said: "Old sir, I have something unclear and I would like to ask him for advice."
Manager Zhen waved her hands in fear and said: "I don't dare to take it, I don't dare to take it! Sir, may I ask, I will definitely tell you everything I know, and I will tell you everything."
Wen Yun smiled and said: "I heard that all the aristocratic families live in a fort where all industries are prosperous, and there are all kinds of workshops and shops. The Zhen family is very rich, so there must be many skilled craftsmen in the fort, right?"
Seeing the Grand Administrator asking about this matter, Manager Zhen couldn't help but have a hint of pride on his face. He smiled and said: "Other villains don't dare to boast. If you say that I, the Zhenjia Wubao, are really skilled craftsmen. I have everything you need. I have three teachings and nine schools.
, everything is included.”
Wen Yuan was overjoyed and said with a smile, "Oh? I wonder if your master is in Zhongshan at this time. He hasn't seen you for almost a year. I was planning to visit him recently."
Manager Zhen was overjoyed and said: "My lord is willing to come to the Zhen family. It is a blessing for our Zhen family! My master is at home. If he hears about this, he will definitely sweep the bed and wait for you!"
Wen Yuan stood up with a smile and cupped his hands and said, "In that case, I'll trouble you, Mr. Lao, to go back and tell Zhang Liao to visit you in ten days."
Manager Zhen hurriedly bowed and said, "Don't you dare! Come back quickly and report to my master."
After seeing off Manager Zhen, Wen Yuan began to prepare for his trip north to Zhongshan. Anyway, the important work at this stage in Julu had already started, so he didn’t need to worry about it anymore. And this trip north to Zhongshan, if he could meet the Zhen family again
A deal negotiated through cooperation will definitely be of great benefit to Julu’s future development!
So before leaving, Wenyuan did enough homework, recruited several craftsmen in the city, and worked at home for three days before he was satisfied and rewarded these craftsmen generously and let them leave.
Three days later, Wen Yuan led Zhang Yu and three hundred men out of the north gate of Yingtao, passed by Yangshi, went down to Quyang, and headed for Zhongshan Wuji.
When passing by Xiaquyang, Wen Yuan specially asked his guards to walk slowly and carefully observe the changes here.
Xiaquyang was once the place where Wen Yuan first established himself in Hebei Province. Although Wen Yuan is now the prefect of a county, he still feels a little emotional when he revisits his hometown.
I remember that a year ago, he formed an army here that truly belonged to him. He drilled with the soldiers every day, opened up wasteland and cultivated land together. Every inch of land in Xiaquyang was condensed with his hard work and sweat. Now, he has
With a wider sky, Quyang is still like a shining and heating sun, providing itself with endless energy and power.
The three thousand sergeants who came out of Xia Quyang have now become the backbone of the 30,000 Julu Army. Eighty percent of the middle and lower-level officers in the army are from the Xia Quyang line. Wenyuan's three hundred personal cavalry are also
Almost all come from here.
This is Wen Yuan's second hometown. Wen Yuan couldn't help but feel excited after not returning home for eight months.
Speaking of personal riding, after the defeat of the Black Mountain bandits, Wenyuan felt that the personal guards suffered heavy casualties during the infantry battle. In addition, after the battle, nearly a thousand war horses were captured, so Wenyuan equipped all the personal guards under his command with horses.
, now these bodyguards have been familiar with riding skills for a month, and although they are still not able to fight on horseback, they are not in danger if they are just marching.
Thirty miles away from the city, I saw an orderly formation of soldiers and horses standing by the road in the north. The leader was a general wearing a crown and armor, and it was Zhang Nan.
It turned out that Zhang Nan had already heard that his lord was going to pass through Quyang, so he led his troops out of camp early and waited here.
At this time, seeing Wenyuan's troops arriving, Zhang Nan flew to greet him. When he was in front of him, he rolled his saddle and dismounted, knelt down on one knee and said, "General Zhang Nan, pay your respects to the lord!"
After not seeing each other for eight months, Zhang Nan seemed to have lost some weight. Apparently, he had suffered a lot from handling the important military and political affairs of the place. It was not until Wenyuan sent a new county magistrate to Quyang in June that he was relieved.
But looking at Zhang Nan's still resolute eyes, Wen Yuan felt his heart heat up. He got off his horse and helped Zhang Nan up, then gave him a long-lost bear hug and said: "Good brother!"
Although he knew that letting him stay in Quyang was the result of his lord's trust in him, but he could not go to Hulao with the army, Zhang Nan still held back a lot of resentment. This grievance could not be vented towards the lord, so Zhang Nan could only ruthlessly punish him in his free time.
Drill The 2,400 soldiers who were left behind in Quyang would usually look at the soldier who was not paying attention during the drill and would give him a blow with a military stick when he came forward. When the sergeant in Quyang saw Zhang Nan during the drill, it was like meeting the king of hell.
, don’t dare to be careless in the slightest.
Fortunately, although Zhang Nan was not angry, he was not a violent person, otherwise he would not have entrusted Wen Yuan with important tasks. Although the training was strict, he knew how to control it. In addition, the military household system of dividing land restricted the soldiers.
They were extremely strong, and no one wanted to be expelled from the military household registration because they could not withstand the rigorous training. There were also officials in the army to provide relief from time to time, but nothing serious happened. Instead, the 2,400 regular men who stayed behind were sent to the army.
The auxiliary soldiers trained a roaring elite force!
Now Wen Yuan's words of "good brother" have completely eliminated all the resentment in Zhang Nan's heart. Zhang Nan only felt that his heart was warm, and the man who was more than seven feet tall could not control the tears in his eyes.
"I'm sorry for you! Brother! Xiaquyang is our foundation. If there is no mature, prudent and trustworthy person to lead the troops and defend it, I really won't worry!" Wen Yuan couldn't feel Zhang Nan's excitement at this time, and his mood was equally agitated.
He patted Zhang Nan on the back, put his arm on his shoulders and personally sent him to mount his horse, and then said: "Okay! I haven't seen you for eight months, let me take a good look at the troops you have trained under your command!"
Zhang Nan put away his tears, patted his chest with pride and said: "My lord, please just watch! My lord, please mount your horse!"
Wen Yuan happily mounted his horse and marched ahead. Zhang Nan walked on the right, half a horse behind Wen Yuan. After that, three hundred horsemen lined up to follow him.
Wenyuan's bodyguards were all selected from 30,000 soldiers. Each of them must be proficient in at least two of the skills of bow and arrow, spearmanship, sword and shield, and have at least an average level of above.
With a military rank, even if he is placed in the military ranks, he can at least secure a position above the rank of senior officer.
It can be said that these three hundred personal guards are the proudest beings among the entire Julu army of 30,000. Being able to join this army represents the greatest honor for Julu soldiers!
Now this pro-army army is walking behind Wen Yuan and Zhang Nan, wearing brand-new fiery red uniforms and crowned armor. The shiny black armor leaves reflect the cold light, and the powerful horses under their crotches snort from time to time.
.
The faces of the three hundred horsemen were full of resoluteness, and their eyes were full of arrogance that swept away everything, as if even if there was a big mountain in front of them, they could push it down and let the lord pass safely!
With such powerful troops and equipment, how could they not be the envy of more than two thousand soldiers in Quyang?
Zhang Nan looked solemn, raised his right hand and shouted: "Stand up!"
"Drink!" More than two thousand Quyang soldiers shouted in unison like a conditioned reflex, and the sound shook the sky!
In just a moment, the momentum of Xiquyang's army surged, and a chilling air suddenly filled the air. The sergeants' faces were tense, their eyes were not squinting, and their bodies were as straight as loose. Even Wenyuan's three hundred personal guards looked at it.
