Chapter 20: Father and Son Soldiers
Everything went according to the plan, and Yuan Mai finally breathed a sigh of relief.
I returned to my courtyard and took a nap for an hour. When I woke up, it was almost dusk.
So he got up and went to Yuan Shao's place, reporting that Yuan Xi was afraid of the long night and dreams, so he had already led his subordinates to leave Yecheng, saying that he would wait until he took over Qu Yi's team before returning to complete the wedding.
Yuan Shao was quite surprised by Yuan Mai's words. He didn't understand that his second son happily agreed to the wedding a few days later. He agreed to go to Yanmen after the marriage, but somehow, he suddenly changed his mind in a blink of an eye.
"Oh, maybe Xianyi has been suppressed by the boss and the third brother for too long, so when he has the opportunity to have his own troops, he can't wait for a moment. Forget it, let him go!"
Yuan Shao sighed and said he knew, and then waved to ask Yuan Mai to return.
Without Yuan Shao's discovery of the flaw, a stone in Yuan Mai's heart finally landed, turned around and retreated, and returned to his courtyard.
At this time, Xiaoqi had already returned from visiting his parents. Seeing that Yuan Mai got up, he went to the kitchen to buy food for Yuan Mai.
While eating, Yuan Mai was thinking about what kind of poems he should take out to meet Zhen Mi for a while, so that he could fall in love with his talents and not marry him if he had to do so?
After racking his brains and 13,827 cells were exhausted, Yuan Mai finally developed a masterpiece.
"Haha, that's it. We must make this beauty admire me and think about it day and night!"
Yuan Mai stood up with a smile, washing his face while talking to himself proudly.
"Young Master, why are you laughing so wildly today?"
Xiaoqi, who was holding a towel and serving him, finally couldn't help it and sincerely raised his own question.
"Uh... yin is slutty? It's just a man's true nature. You don't even have enough hair, so you don't understand!"
Yuan Mai teased, wiped his face, hung his sword around his waist, carried a carved bow, held a quiver, and walked out with big strides.
"Hey, young master, are you going out again?"
Only then did Xiaoqi realize that the young master was no longer the otakus who had not left for half a month before, and he felt a little sad.
Yuan Mai went out with a laugh and was proud, "Of course, young master, I am now the supervisor of the Northern Expedition Army, and I will never be as idle as before in the future!"
Looking at Yuan Mai's back as he left, Xiaoqi pouted and complained, "Young master, you went to war, what should I do? Wouldn't you be unemployed? But, you look so handsome with your bow and arrow on your back!"
The horse galloped all the way to the Northern Expedition Army camp, five miles northwest of Yecheng.
Today, Hao Zhao went to recruit personal soldiers for himself. He had to ignore him. He could go to pick up beautiful girls, but at least he should come over to get to know the soldiers and post a welcome speech to show respect.
Qu Yi was arrogant and did not even take Yuan Mai seriously, let alone Hao Zhao, a small military captain, sent someone to send weapons and equipment, food, grass and military pay to Hao Zhao, and allocated another twenty horses, so he asked Hao Zhao to take his men to settle the food.
Hao Zhao was too lazy to get involved with Qu Yi's people, so he was just right. So he chose a few people with slightly weak constitutions to be the fire head army, and set up a stove and cook.
When Yuan bought it, Hao Zhao was having a feast with his brothers and raising his glass to drink.
There were already hundreds of people who had no concern at home packed their bags and came to the military camp to report. Hao Zhao deeply understood the importance of being in a group with the soldiers, so he sat on the ground outside the camp with the soldiers, ate meat and drank wine, and had a lot of fun.
"Hey, the young master is here, don't eat anymore, get up and pay homage to the young master."
Seeing Yuan Mai arrive, Hao Zhao hurriedly put down the wine bowl in his hand, stood up and greeted the newly recruited brothers to pay homage to Yuan Mai.
The soldiers agreed to the promise and formed a circle to bow to Yuan Mai: "The villain and others will meet the young master, and are willing to work hard for the young master and go through fire and water, and they will never refuse!"
Seeing more than 100 soldiers, most of them were strong men around the age of twenty, each with a strong figure and a simple face. Yuan Mai was very satisfied and affirmed Hao Zhao's work.
In the past, the King of Chu took the 800 Jiangdong children as the foundation and swept the princes. Although he eventually failed, the combat effectiveness of his soldiers was not to be underestimated.
From now on, these people will follow themselves to dominate the world, succeed, lose, and in the end, whether it is a king or a bandit, is the most important thing.
"Okay, good...yes, they are really lively. After buying, you will rely on all your brothers to achieve your career!"
As a time traveler, Yuan Mai naturally knows how to get closer to the soldiers. Putting on a high-ranking air is the stupidest thing for people to do.
Seeing that the young master did not look arrogant, the soldiers were all very happy, glad that they finally followed the right person. They cheered in unison and shouted in unison, "Swear to protect the young master to the death."
Hao Zhao waved his hand and signaled the soldiers to continue eating. Then he led Yuan Mai into the tent he set up and reported to Yuan Mai's work.
"Report to the young master, the situation of recruiting troops today is really smooth. With the manifesto from Lord Chen Lin, many people came here to see it. In the end of a day, more than 900 people signed up."
Hao Zhao gave Yuan Mai to the back of Shuai Case and handed over a bowl of tea to report today's results.
Yuan Mai nodded, very satisfied: "Very good, all this is your credit for Bo Dao. I will remember you a great contribution. However, my father asked me to recruit 500 people, so he would cut off the extra quota so as not to give people a handle and say that we are ambitious and do not obey our orders."
Hao Zhao knelt beside the Shuai case and nodded, "This is exactly what Zhao means. After my selection, five hundred people have been selected. They are all hardcover men aged between 18 and 25. If they have some blood relationships, such as brothers, fathers and sons, nephews, uncles, uncles, nephews, and nephews, what should the young master think?"
"Okay, brothers who fight tigers, father and son soldiers will fight! Only in this way can they have combat effectiveness." Yuan Maipairen agreed.
"One of these people is called Jiang Cheng. His ancestors raised horses. They had good riding skills and had strong strength. Another one was named Xue Qin. He used to be a ranger who could use his swordsmanship. Therefore, Zhao thought about promoting them to serve as the governor. I wonder if I could do it? I will call them to see if they come to pay a visit to the young master recently. "
Hao Zhao was talking and prepared to get up and call the two of them in for Yuan Mai to get to know each other.
"No need, just make the decision on these trivial matters by yourself, and you don't need to ask me for instructions."
Yuan Mai waved his hand and stopped Hao Zhao.
In this era, some of the abilities can leave their names in history. Those names that you have never heard of are probably just centurion materials. They are instantly made in front of famous generals, and it doesn't matter if you don't look at them.
Hao Zhao was very grateful for Yuan Mai's trust and nodded, "Thank you, young master, Zhao will definitely live up to his entrustion."
"Well, you can watch the team. I have to go home tonight. When I handle the trivial matters tomorrow, I will officially move into the military camp."
After the main talks, seeing that it was completely dark outside, Yuan Mai stood up and prepared to say goodbye.
Seeing that Yuan Mai was planning to return to the city alone, Hao Zhao was worried and insisted on bringing people to escort him into the city: "It's getting late, and the young master may be in danger alone. Rong Zhao will bring people to escort you into the city."
Yuan Mai's head was shaking like a rattle. He had to go to have a tryst with the goddess later. How could he do it with you!
"No need, it's just three or five miles away, and I'm not a weak scholar without any power. You and the soldiers will have a good rest."
Yuan Mai smiled confidently at Hao Zhao, and then patted the carving bow behind him. He thought to himself, I was not afraid of being in the wilderness last night, let alone how many miles of it, can I make a big deal?
Hao Zhao's temper was very stubborn and refused to let Yuan Mai leave alone no matter what he said: "This team is responsible for the safety of the young master. If the young master doesn't need our guard, then just disband. Zhao goes home to hunt. Why waste military pay in vain?"
Looking at Hao Zhao's stubborn appearance, Yuan Mai had no choice but to do so. He was kind enough, so he just followed him.
He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Okay, okay, then I will take someone to protect me back to the city according to you."
Seeing that Yuan Mai agreed, Hao Zhao let out a long sigh and smiled and joked: "The responsibility of the school is. If you are lazy and lazy, and you are caught by the young master and beaten the board, wouldn't you be unjustly accused of death?"
Seeing Hao Zhao's loyalty and sincere consideration for himself, Yuan Mai felt warm in his heart and laughed: "You, you are such a stubborn person. I will call you stubborn person from now on."
