The two guards were blocking Cao Bin with angry faces. When they saw Li Ba coming out, they quickly let go of Cao Bin and greeted Li Ba. Li Ba waved his hand, rolled his eyes at Cao Bin, and motioned for him to follow.
Then he turned around and ran back to the barracks.
"Is it possible that this guy who claims to be a scholar knows our adults?" The guard with a mustache looked at Cao Bin who was walking away with a somewhat embarrassed expression and said to another guard without a beard.
Another guard without a beard scratched his neck and curled his lips disdainfully: "I'm afraid of a bird. Our master is famous for loving his soldiers like his own son, and he is very kind to us little soldiers. So what if we know each other? Do you still think so?"
Why should we be punished because of a little scholar? We didn’t do anything wrong!"
"That's right," the guard with a mustache said, "By the way, who is this scholar? Is he still an official of the ninth rank?"
The beardless guard once again glanced at the mustachioed guard with disdain, and said with some pride: "Look at your country bumpkin appearance? Even a scholar doesn't know. In other words, it seems to be just a scholar. Where are you from?
Lin, I don't know whose family he is from."
"Tch! You're the only one who knows how to talk nonsense!" This time it was the moustachioed guard's turn to curl his lips in disdain.
Regardless of the gossip of the two soldiers, Li Ba directly led Cao Bin into the barracks. Cao Bin did not expect that there would be so many people in Kang Long's barracks, and they were people with different identities.
He saw that in addition to twelve officers in armor, there were also two young men in Confucian uniforms and two mud-legged men in coarse shorts and shorts.
In the weird barracks, the atmosphere became even weirder because of Cao Bin's arrival.
Fortunately, Cao Bin's psychological quality is good enough. If it were other scribes who already had official status, seeing such a combination, they would definitely be shocked and unable to close their mouths for a long time.
"Are you the boss of Sanhekou? What's the matter with meeting Bendu?" Kang Long looked at Cao Bin expressionlessly and said, as if he was doing business. But he seemed to look down on Cao Bin, and he didn't even say his usual words.
There was no etiquette. What was even more tragic was that the dozen or so people under him with different identities did not even bow to him.
After all, Cao Bin was also a ninth-grade scholar and a serious official appointed by the imperial court. Even though he had little status in Sanhekou Town, it could not change the fact that he was an official.
Unfortunately, these people seem to have deliberately forgotten this.
There was no anger on Cao Bin's face. He stared at Kang Long without blinking and asked in a calm tone: "Kang Dujian, is everyone here reliable?"
"Bold!" Li Ba jumped out first, pointed at Cao Bin and wanted to yell.
In his opinion, Cao Bin's words were not well-intentioned at all, and he clearly wanted to take the opportunity to sow discord. Because the identities of the people here are too different, and they have different temperaments. If Kang Long's answers are all reliable, it is obvious
Just a little inconsistent.
The two men dressed in mud-legged clothes obviously had reluctant expressions on their faces, as if Kang Long had just asked them to do something they didn't want to do.
But if Kang Long said that someone was unreliable, it would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among his officers.
"Cao Bin? Cao Guohua?" Kang Long suddenly asked confusedly with a half-smiling expression on his face.
Cao Bin nodded, not surprised that Kang Long knew his name, "The Superintendent hasn't answered the official's question yet. I really have urgent matters to discuss with the Superintendent."
Kang Long saw that although he was pretending to be calm on his face, there was indeed eagerness in his eyes, so he nodded and said: "Don't worry, everyone here believes in their character, and they all believe in it."
The character of Pontus."
Cao Bin nodded imperceptibly, breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "Kangdu Supervisor, General Wang just gave me a military order, and asked me to go to the War Horse Department to help you pick 200 war horses, and to go to the granary to distribute 3,000 shi of military rations.
." Cao Bin looked into Kang Long's eyes and emphasized the word "pick" and "granary" very hard.
Kang Long nodded, with still no expression on his face, but his eyes became sharp, "Huh, what a General Wang! Lord Cao, you are the Lord of Sanhekou Town, you came to me privately
Are you afraid that General Wang will find out about these two sentences?"
Cao Bin was even more surprised when he saw that Kang Long actually understood the meaning of his words. At this time, he no longer thought about testing whether Kang Long was worthy of his surrender. He could react so quickly and understand the meaning hidden in his two sentences.
The person who is interesting seems to be like a veteran official who has been in the officialdom for more than ten years.
But when this happened to Kang Long, it seemed a bit weird and peculiar.
"To be honest, I, Cao Bin, am doing very poorly in Sanhekou Town. I want to move to another place. I wonder if the Kangdu Supervisor will take me in?" Cao Bin suddenly revealed his intention directly, and now Kang Long was involved.
Unexpected.
He originally thought that Cao Bin, as the boss of Sanhekou Town, came to his barracks and said this because he wanted to get some benefits from him, and then he would not do anything when distributing horses and military rations. Unexpectedly, Cao Bin came here.
Surrender to him.
Kang Long stared at Cao Bin without saying a word, and Cao Bin stared back at Kang Long without giving up.
"Haha, good! With the help of Guohua, I, Kanglong, can be like the old ancestors who got Xiao He and Taizong who got Mao, so why worry about not succeeding in great things!" Kanglong saw a sense of anger and sincerity in Cao Bin's eyes.
, laughed loudly, and stretched out his hands. Cao Bin was shocked, and he also stretched out his hands and held Kang Long tightly.
The two of them felt sympathy for each other, as if they had been close friends for many years, and they laughed at the same time.
it is more than words.
This may be a true portrayal of a good general meeting a wise master, and a wise master cherishing talents.
This ordinary but extraordinary handshake left a story for future generations that will be passed down through the ages. This is a story for later, so I won’t mention it for now.
"Sir, how did you know that I have Xiao Xu's talent?" Cao Bin asked strangely as Kang Long asked him to sit down on the big chair next to him.
When Kang Long was in Kyoto, he read the history books of the current era and found that the current era was very similar to the ancient historical period of China. Whether they were emperors, generals, or poets and literary saints, their temperaments and names were roughly the same. This is why Kang Long has always been
I suspect that I have arrived in the Later Jin Dynasty during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.
If he hadn't obtained "The Map of Ten Thousand Kingdoms" and "Journey to the Western Regions" and personally heard Fuyaozi describe some of the geographical customs of the time, Kang Long would be very sure that he was in the Later Jin Dynasty.
Because even the reign names of the current generation are the same, and there were Han Dynasty and Tang Dynasty in history. Among the founding fathers of the Han Dynasty, the world-famous Xiao He, Xiao Xiangguo, and the founding hero of the Tang Dynasty, Xu Maogong, were both
It happened in the history of the world.
Cao Bin was quite confident in his own talents and had always compared himself to the great Han Dynasty Prime Minister Xiao Xiangguo and the Great Tang Dynasty Xu Mao. If he could get Kang Long's personal recognition, he knew that he was lucky to have met the legendary Master Ming.
It's a pity that the Ming Lord who he will assist is now just a low-status military attache who has not yet made a fortune. But what does it matter? As long as you have great ambitions and the capacity to embrace all rivers, why worry about not being able to achieve great things in the future?
Take a look at the Central Plains dynasties that have changed several times in the world. Which of the founding emperors did not come from a rough background, started from scratch, and finally aspired to hegemony?
"I'm going to give you this first. Haha, when we get out of Sanhekou, all Guohua will naturally know. Maybe I will need your help then to help me complete a big thing." Kang Long said with a smile on his face.
Kang Long was in a very good mood now and no longer had the helpless mood he had just now. When Cao Bin saw that except Kang Long with a relaxed and carefree smile on his face, everyone else in the barracks was still looking sad and seemed to be very unoptimistic about the situation at hand, he felt sad in his heart.
There are enough.
Kang Long had confidence in him, that's why he showed such a relaxed expression, but others didn't think that him, the boss of Sanhekou Town, could change anything by joining him.
"Sir, Huang Zeguan is in danger now. Your Majesty has been ordered to do so. What are your plans?" Cao Bin also had a relaxed smile on his face, as if he didn't take Huang Zeguan's matter to heart.
"Naturally, we need to quickly allocate manpower and go to support. As long as we arrive before the Huangze Pass defenders are defeated, with the two battalions of heavy armored spear soldiers from my bodyguard, we can naturally turn the tide of the battle!" Hua Qie said anxiously.
When it comes to marching and fighting, this old military leader who came from the army still has an impetuous and eager temperament. He must have been a good general in the Forbidden Army back then.
Cao Bin laughed out loud, but did not answer. Instead, he looked at Kang Long. He wanted to see what Kang Long had in mind to resolve the crisis at hand.
You guys, if you think it's not bad, just hit me to death with flowers and tickets!
