No, Lu Xuan is still alone for the time being, so he has no ties around him. Before dawn in the morning, Lu Xuan has already gotten up to do morning exercises.
After the morning exercise, Lu Xuan and Tai Shi Ci had breakfast together, asked Lu Xun to play with Tai Shi Heng, and then prepared to go to Zhang's house.
As soon as they walked out of the yard, Lu Kang came in a hurry.
Lu Kang's old face was full of eagerness and worry. As soon as he saw Lu Xuan, he quickly said: "Erlang, what are you doing? You made a big noise when I wasn't paying attention. My Lu family is in Yangzhou.
It is also a famous and noble family. This time, it has become a laughing stock."
Lu Xuan looked as usual and asked: "Father, does it have anything to do with my recruitment of soldiers?"
Lu Kang glared at Lu Xuan and said angrily: "Yes, it's your recruitment of soldiers. If you want to recruit soldiers to form your own force, I have no objection. In fact, I will fully support it, and the Lu family will also fully support it.
"
"It's good for you, but you go to the homeless and beggars to replenish your income. Isn't this acting recklessly?"
"Early this morning, I went to the hall to discuss matters. As soon as I entered the hall, I heard the chief clerk and other officials discussing the issue of refugees serving as soldiers."
"At that time, I was very curious and asked who was the fool who did such a stupid thing."
"I didn't expect it to be you."
Lu Kang looked helpless and sighed: "You kid, you are so annoying."
Lu Xuan confidently said: "Father, I do things in a measured way."
Lu Kang snorted and said forcefully: "How can you be measured? You are obviously acting recklessly. These refugees staying in Shu County are skinny and have no meat on their bodies. How can they fight?"
"You recruit such soldiers, they have no fighting spirit, no spirit, and they are of no use except a waste of food."
"These people cannot do anything else."
"Erlang, people outside are laughing at you. They say that your talent in poetry and prose is unparalleled, and your ideas of leading troops in war are also unparalleled. You are so whimsical that you are even worse than Zhao Kuo."
Lu Kang was very embarrassed.
This kid Lu Xuan is too messy.
The smile on Lu Xuan's face faded and he said seriously: "Father, I am sure of it."
"You're damn sure."
Lu Kang was so anxious that he swore and ordered: "Stop recruiting refugees, I have come up with a solution for you. The Lu family has enough troops. I will ask Lu Yuan to assign 800 people to you, and you can practice by yourself."
.”
"I do not need."
Lu Xuan answered firmly.
He looked firm and said loudly: "Father, I know what I am doing, and I also know that some people are ridiculing me. If I wanted to use the Lu family's songs, I would have used them long ago, and I would not have waited until now."
"I know the ridicule outside. However, I will not give in just because someone is ridiculing me. The more doubtful and ridiculing these people are, the more I will fight back."
"I want everyone to know that I, Lu Xuan, can turn decay into magic, and that my choice, Lu Xuan, will not be wrong."
"Please father, believe me."
Lu Xuan's eyes were determined, without any panic or hesitation.
Lu Xuan has a strong sense of confidence.
Lu Kang saw this in his eyes and was stunned for a moment. He was surprised by Lu Xuan's answer and also surprised by Lu Xuan's persistence.
He thought that his son would listen to him.
Unexpectedly, Lu Xuan persuaded him in turn, comforted him, and told him not to worry.,
The key is that Lu Xuan has his own opinions.
Lu Kang examined it, then suddenly stroked his beard and laughed, his laughter became more and more hearty, and a look of relief appeared on his old face.
"Good boy, you have grown up! You have your own persistence, no matter whether it is right or wrong, as long as you insist, that's good. You have decided, and I will fully support you. Regardless of success or failure, it is always right to try."
Lu Kang patted Lu Xuan on the shoulder.
That look contained more recognition and less scrutiny.
"Father, I will succeed."
Lu Xuan bowed and left in a hurry with Tai Shici.
Lu Kang looked at Lu Xuan's leaving figure, and his expression became even more proud, filled with relief and joy.
My son has grown up.
There is no need for him to worry or interfere.
It is not far from the Lu family to the Zhang family. When Lu Xuan arrived with Tai Shici, the street outside the gate of the Zhang family was already overcrowded. Many refugees came with sallow complexions, skinny bones, and thin clothes.
Lu Xuan scanned the area. In addition to the refugees, there were also many people who came to watch the fun.
These people were dressed gorgeously and were waiting to see Lu Xuan's jokes.
"Lord!"
Zhou Yu walked up.
He looked gloomy and said: "My lord, there are many people around to watch the excitement. These people are laughing at my lord and mocking my imaginary ideas. These people really don't understand anything, so they just make self-righteous speculations."
Yesterday, Zhou Yu also questioned Lu Xuan at first. However, when he saw the power erupting from the skinny bodies of the refugees trying to snatch the meat cakes, Zhou Yu was shocked.
He firmly believed that once these refugees had their bellies filled, they would be invincible on the battlefield.
These people cherish life more.
Therefore, these people will work harder.
Lu Xuan smiled softly and said: "Gong Jin, I don't want to fight with fools. They look down on me, so I won't care about it for now. When I select 800 people, I will bring 800 black armored soldiers to shut up these people and let them go."
These people are afraid."
Zhou Yu nodded and said: "I believe in your lord, and I also believe in these refugees. They will definitely fight for it."
Lu Xuan looked at the soldiers maintaining order and ordered: "Open the door!"
Crunch!
The private soldiers of the Lu family guarding the gate quickly opened the gate.
Lu Xuan's eyes were sharp and he said loudly: "Refugees who want to participate in the selection of soldiers should enter the Zhang family's school grounds in an orderly manner and gather at the school grounds. Those who want to watch the selection should also enter together and are not allowed to wander around."
After the order was arranged, Lu Xuan took Zhou Yu and Tai Shici in front and entered the school grounds first.
The school grounds are vast and vast.
Let alone more than a thousand people, even if tens of thousands of people gather in the school grounds, they can easily be accommodated.
Not long after, all the refugees gathered in the school grounds, standing in twos and threes.
Onlookers watched from a distance.
"At first Lu Xuan became famous in Daguan Tower. Later, Xu Shao commented that he was both civil and military. Now it seems that he is just an innocent scholar. Look at these refugees, they are as thin as bamboo poles, and they can be blown by a gust of wind."
"These refugees are all homeless trash. It's a joke for such a group of people to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. I'm afraid these people will all be scared to death before they even join the war."
"Lu Xuan is destined to fail this time."
"Lu Xuan has his father Lu Kang to support him, and the Lu family is a wealthy family in Yangzhou. Even if he loses face this time, he can continue to do so."
"I thought that Lu Kang and Lu Xuan were like a tiger with no son. Now it seems that Lu Xuan is too naive. He only knows some poetry and is a loser."
Discussions came and went.
Many people looked at Lu Xuan with deep disdain and contempt. Many people stood with their arms folded, as if they were watching a show, waiting for Lu Xuan to make a fool of himself.
No one thought Lu Xuan could succeed.
Lu Xuan stood on the stage and heard the discussion in the distance. A cold light flashed across Lu Xuan's eyes.
look down?
despise?
A group of short-sighted people.
The beggar armies in history were all composed of refugees, and they exploded with tyrannical fighting power. The black-armored soldiers formed by Lu Xuan from the refugees would far surpass the beggar army.
The black-armored soldiers will fight back fiercely, letting these people see how powerful the black-armored soldiers are.
Lu Xuan withdrew his gaze and scanned all the refugees present.
There were a lot of people coming. Lu Xuan took a rough look and found that there were at least seven or eight thousand people. There were not only refugees here, but also many local people who were living a difficult life. That's why there were so many people.
Generally speaking, it is mainly refugees.
Lu Xuan was very satisfied with this.
The number of candidates for election is large, and only the 800 people selected will have a good foundation.
Lu Xuan took a deep breath and shouted for silence. Following that, Taishi Ci and the private soldiers of the Lu family who were maintaining order around him also shouted for silence. All the refugees at the scene became quiet, and the people watching the excitement not far away were also waiting for the landing.
