Chapter Thirty-Seven County Wei Qiu
Half an hour later, the horse farm was filled with the fragrance of mutton.
Wang Shuang gave Yuan Maili to the VIP seat, and he and Hao Zhao were there to accompany him. Yuan Mai said, tonight, all the brothers will be born and die together, kill the enemy together, and they should bear the difficulties together, eat meat together, and everyone will come and eat together.
After listening to Yuan Mai's orders, the crowd cheered with the soldiers and sat around the open world, drinking and eating meat with Yuan Mai and experiencing the joy of escaping from the battlefield.
After three rounds of drinking, Wang Shuang stood up and shouted to the court, "My Wang family has been operating the horse farm for several generations. However, on the day of his life, he hopes that someone can join the army to fight and win fame and title. When today's chaos and the princes rise together, it is the time when a man's husband hunts for fame, otherwise he will be a walking corpse.
Now, the four young masters of the current general and the governor of Jizhou, the four masters of the Yuan family, were loved by the nobles and were willing to come to the wilderness to recruit Wang Shuang. I am so lucky. Therefore, I decided to abandon the horse farm and follow the young master. Whether you go or stay, you will decide whether to go or stay. If you want to join the army, follow me to Yecheng tomorrow. Those who don’t want to join the army will protect their widow and your wife and daughter back to Longyou to join my brother…”
After hearing Wang Shuang's words, many passionate people expressed their willingness to follow the Second Master to serve Mr. Yuan and gallop on the battlefield to seek fame.
Wang Shuang and Yuan Mai were very happy when they heard this. Yuan Mai stood up and said thank you for trusting me, Yuan Mai. Everyone raised the bowl and drank a bowl together.
"Second Master, we are all leaving. What should we do with the horse and the horse farm?" Tang Huan asked while wiping the sheep oil from the corner of his mouth.
Wang Shuang laughed and said, "Are you really stupid or pretending to be stupid? I am all General Yuan's people, so these horses are naturally General Yuan's horses."
Wang Shuang said, and turned to Yuan Mai and Hao Zhao and said, "With the general's love, Wang Shuang is willing to offer the horses on the horse farm, a total of 332 horses. I hope the young master will accept it with a smile."
Yuan Mai was so happy that he heard this. Nowadays, horses are scarce supplies. The princes of all sizes and their cavalry are all precious. Even a giant like Yuan Shao, with a total force of nearly 250,000, the cavalry was only less than 30,000. Wang Shuang offered more than 300 war horses at once. Such a move was really a big deal.
"Okay, Prince Quan is such a big deal, and I, Yuan Mai, refused without falsehood, so I accepted it. After I go back, I will definitely report Ziquan's achievements and loyalty to my father, and ask you for the title of General Bi!"
Yuan Mai stood up, clasped his fists to Wang Shuang and thanked him, and then promised to ask for a title for him. More than 300 war horses were offered. In addition to Wang Shuang's bravery, Yuan Mai believed that Yuan Shao would give him a face, and even if he didn't give him face, he should give the horse face.
The value of three hundred war horses was enough to donate a considerable official position when Emperor Huan Ling was the second emperor, and Yuan Shao had no reason to refuse.
"Ah...haha, thank you for your support, Shuang vows to serve the general to the death."
When Wang Shuang heard that Yuan Mai wanted to get a title of General Bi for him, Wang Shuang was overjoyed and hurriedly stood up and bowed to thank him. Everyone present heard that Yuan Mai wanted to get a position of General Bi for Wang Shuang, they raised their bowls to congratulate him and suggested not to get drunk or sleep tonight.
Although General Bi is only at the lowest level among military generals, Wang Shuangxin was satisfied and determined to do a big fight as soon as he joined the Yuan Group.
At this moment, the Lu County Magistrate and the County Captain rushed over with more than 300 officers. The lord's son came here, who dared to neglect? What's more, under their rule, bandits robbed. If the young master was angry and could not protect the black sha, it would be a matter of just one word!
While arranging troops to clean up the battlefield, the county magistrate and the county magistrate asked the Fan brothers to inform the prince, saying that the Lu County magistrate and the county magistrate were asking for a meeting.
Fan Hu nodded and made a proud report. A few days ago, he was just a commoner, but now he has become the object of local parents begging him. This change makes people feel very happy.
After a while, Fan Hu came out of the horse farm and told the county magistrate and the county magistrate, "Young Master, please follow me, and then took the two of them across the suspension bridge and entered the horse farm."
"The county magistrate of Lu County greets the prince..." the county magistrate said.
"The county magistrate of Lu County pays homage to the general..." The county magistrate said.
The names of the two people are completely different, and Yuan Mai prefers the title of "General". He can't help but look at the county magistrate more, and he saw that he had thick eyebrows, big eyes, wide face and heavy chin, and was seven and a half feet tall, which was considered to be a dignified person. In terms of words and deeds, he was neither humble nor arrogant, which was very different from the quarrel of the county magistrate and silence.
"Are you two aware of your crime?"
Yuan Mai held a wine bowl in his hand and looked at the two of them squintedly, intending to scare them, and knocked on some robbery as military pay in the name of paying for the deceased.
"My subordinates know that they are guilty, and the young master is kind. Mr. Wang Ziquan is a guest of honor, so he has to say a few words to a certain good word..."
When the county magistrate heard Yuan Mai's words, he was so scared that he trembled all over. He immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, and then pleaded with Wang Shuang, who was kneeling beside Yuan Mai.
But the county magistrate defended calmly: "What the general said is wrong. I am both wrong, but I am not guilty!"
"Oh... let's hear?"
Yuan Mai now has a good impression of the county magistrate and is very interested. Seeing that this person is like a talent, he suddenly felt compelled to win over him. He suppressed his desire to ask about his name and tested his opinion on this matter.
The county magistrate hugged Yuan Mai and said with great thrust: "On the way to the horse farm, Zhao captured several lost bandits with his subordinates. After interrogation, it was found that these bandits were subordinates of Zhang Liang, the former leader of the Yellow Turban rebel, the "General" of the Lord. The leader was named Zou Yan, who was formerly a commander of the Yellow Turban Army.
This group of mobs was once very powerful. In order to cause trouble to Shangdang, they were expelled from Bingzhou by the governor Gao and Prefect Guo, and fled to the Chang'an area to rob. Recently, they were surrounded and suppressed by Xiahou Yuan, the prefect of Chang'an appointed by Prime Minister Cao. Therefore, they turned around and fled into Lu County, trying to take the way north and seek "Heishan Chu Feiyan".
All the officers, soldiers, local officials, and villages in Lu County were only four or five hundred. Even if they knew in advance that the Yellow Turban bandits were preparing to cross the border, they would probably not be able to block all the roads. At most, they could only drive away the bandits, but they were afraid that the war would inevitably be in danger.
Therefore, I and the county magistrate were wrong. I did not know the information in advance and reported the information about the bandit suppression to the prefect Guo Yuan, but I was not guilty... Besides, it was a blessing to have a loss of power..."
"Oh... I know what kind of blessing you are talking about?"
After hearing what the county magistrate said, Yuan Mai became more interested, so he changed his pretended angry look to a kind and friendly look.
The county magistrate smiled and knew that the fourth young master was moved by his words. Maybe he would be appreciated by him later and could be promoted. "This blessing is yours. I will benefit from it, but I can't tell you the words and write."
"My blessing? Come on, prepare your pen and ink!"
Yuan Mai was confused by the county magistrate and didn't know where the blessing came from, so he immediately ordered his subordinates to prepare their pens and inks.
After the pen and ink arrived, the county magistrate splashed ink, and he wrote a brief report without much effort. The general content was as follows: Lu County was recently robbed by thousands of Yellow Turban bandits. Thanks to his son Yuan Mai, he led his subordinates and soldiers and local armed forces to fight back, killing more than a thousand bandits, and beheaded the former Yellow Turban General Zou Yan. He made outstanding achievements and all the local people were grateful.
After Yuan Mai saw it, she was so smiling that she could hardly stop talking, and cursed in her heart, "You guy looks handsome, but you didn't expect to come up and come up with such a bad idea."
However, then again, this is indeed a good way to quickly accumulate achievements. It seems that false reporting of military achievements is not the patent of future generations.
"Well, it's good to write, that's how it's happening, but Zou Yan was killed by the prince. You can add a few more sentences to him and report it to your father."
After reading it, Yuan Mai returned the documents to the county magistrate and ordered him to write some achievements to Wang Shuang, which would help him to obtain the position of General Pian for him.
"I understand the humble position."
The county magistrate took the document and smiled knowingly. It seemed that this young master was a smart man with a lively mind. Such a person had great future.
"What do you call the county magistrate?"
Yuan Mai reached out and signaled the county magistrate to sit down and drink together, and decided to recruit the witty county magistrate.
"The villain's surname is Qianzhao, and his courtesy name is Zijing."
When the county magai heard Yuan Mai ask about his name, the county magistrate felt that his premeditation might have been successful. The young master of the provincial governor indeed fell in love with him, and he would have a chance to make a comeback.
Qian Zhao was happy to sit down, but he didn't know that Yuan Mai was happier than him. He really "if you want to plant flowers, you will bloom, but if you don't want to plant willows and willows, you will become shade." His trip to Shangdang was really good. He originally planned to attract Wang Shuang, but he didn't expect to buy one and get one free one, and he also gave one Qian Zhao.
Although this scoop is not well-known in the history of the Three Kingdoms, its overall quality is quite good. It can be civil and military, and can not only govern the local area, but also lead troops to fight. In a period when the talents under your own hands are scarce, it is the best result to be able to recruit such talents.
"Well, Qianzhao? It's a very special surname. However, I like your cleverness. I was recently appointed by my father as the supervisor of the Northern Expedition Army. I will go north to attack Gongsun Zan in a few days. My subordinates just lack talents like you. I wonder if you are interested in my work?"
