Nanyang, Wancheng.
When Xiangyang was preparing to train troops, the great event of Wancheng was staged as promised.
Sun Jian killed Nanyang governor Zhang Zi and elected Yuan Shu, the later general who fled here, as the governor. Nanyang has entered the era of Yuan Shu since then.
However, what Nanyang people don''t know is that they will be in dire straits in recent years.
Yuan Shu was a dandy in Luoyang. When he was a captain of Changshui, he was extravagant and extravagant. He was nicknamed "fierce ghost in the road" Yuan Changshui. If he was not the legitimate son of the yuan family of the fourth generation and the third Duke, how could he be filial and honest and take up the post of 2000 Shi senior officials at a young age?
Sun Jian took refuge in Yuan Shu because of his humble background and killed Wang Rui and Zhang Zi. In order to avoid being prosecuted.
With Yuan Shu as the backstage, I don''t dare to make trouble with this matter.
The first thing Yuan Shu did when he took office was to recruit troops wantonly and prepare to participate in the alliance to discuss Dong.
This is the most important thing. If he can become the leader of the league, he can further his power and lead the heroes in the world.
Therefore, Yuan Shu had no scruples about several disturbances in Nanyang over the years and forcibly recruited young people into the army.
For a time, people''s grievances were boiling. However, forced by the situation, we had to follow suit.
At the same time, someone saw the situation in Nanyang, made a good salute and was ready to leave.
The South County, separated by a river, is a stable place.
……
"Madam, hold the baby and let''s go." In a village outside Wancheng, the middle-aged man packed his bags, put them on a simple carriage and said to the woman holding the child.
"Husband, do you really want to go? I''ve lived for decades and I''m reluctant to leave. " The woman hugged the child and couldn''t give up.
"The official document of the prefect has been issued. If Wei Fu is forcibly recruited into the army and goes to the battlefield, how can you three live?" The big man said, "leave, go to a safe place, find a good doctor and see Xu''er."
"However, in order to see a doctor for our children these years, we have sold almost everything at home. Even if there are skilled doctors, do we still have money?" The woman said anxiously.
"Don''t worry. When we get to a safe place and find a good job for our husband, we should be able to support our family." Although the big man had no bottom in his heart, he didn''t say it.
"Mom and Dad, are you leaving?" A seven or eight year old girl poked her head out of the carriage.
"Sit down and start now." The big man laughed, helped his wife and children into the carriage, sat in the driving position, waved the whip and began to hurry.
In the carriage, the woman sighed to herself.
Originally, their family was fairly rich, and it was not a problem to support their husband to practice martial arts. However, because his son was in poor health since childhood, he was seriously ill, and his family property was sold out, leaving only this carriage.
The most valuable items in the car are probably the huge bow and long knife that her husband regards as a treasure.
Where is the place of peace when you leave your hometown?
……
Xiangyang, the recruitment has been going on for three days, but only more than 200 people have been recruited.
Because of the previous accident, Xiangyang people are not very enthusiastic about signing up for the army. However, due to the improvement of treatment, many people came.
However, the odd plan is very strict. It doesn''t mean you accept it when you sign up, but you have to go through assessment and screening.
Don''t be too old, generally only 18 to 30 years old; Strength is not important. Military training is enough to make soldiers strong, but they should be strong enough; The children of the big family can accept it, but they will say in advance that everyone starts from the sergeant and treats them equally. Those who want preferential treatment will not accept it
Of course, if you have a specialty, you can be selected as long as you are favored, even if you don''t meet the standard.
This specialty is mainly based on strange ideas. He has been watching the three-day recruitment.
Those who have read and read a lot, are accurate in archery, strong, good at riding, accurate in throwing, proficient in skill and number, and flexible
There are more than a dozen such people. Du San doesn''t know what the standard is.
But it doesn''t matter to them, as long as someone comes.
Because the original three-day recruitment plan failed to reach the goal of 300 people, the trick was added another day until 300 people were ready to be recruited.
This day is Du Sanshou''s home. Hou Yong accompanies a trick to recruit people at the military camp.
Near noon, a carriage entered Xiangyang City.
As soon as the middle-aged man entered the city, he heard people talking in the street about the recruitment of county soldiers. A little inquiry will give you a general idea.
When I first came to your place, I didn''t have much money. If I want to find a living quickly, it seems that it''s a good choice to recruit County soldiers.
Unlike in Wancheng, being a soldier there is to go to the battlefield, while in Xiangyang, the county soldiers were taken away by Sun Jian. Even if they become an army again, they are mainly guarding the city. There is no unrest in Nanjun, so naturally there is no need to fight, so they are relatively safe.
The local people in Xiangyang are not willing to join the army, but with their own strength, after joining the army, it will not be a problem to eliminate the positions occupied by everyone''s children. At least being a hundred people will not be a problem. The salary of county soldiers will rise, and it will be enough to support their families.
The money you bring can be saved to see a doctor for your child.
With this in mind, the middle-aged man acted much faster. When he heard about the location of the rebellious brigade, he arranged his wife and children for the time being and hurried to the recruitment point of the military camp.
At the time of Yin, he recruited more than 300 people and was about to tell Hou Yong to end the recruitment. Suddenly, he saw a big man in a hurry coming.
After thinking about it, I didn''t speak.
Hou Yong saw that the superior officer didn''t give orders, so he continued.
"Excuse me, but do you want to recruit sergeants?" Although he is tall and burly, his tone is very light and he puts himself low.
People to middle age, after life, have long smoothed the edges and corners.
Everything is to support the family and to shoulder the burden of the family.
Otherwise, why did Liu Biao leave his three children, cross the dangerous battlefield and go to Luoyang for enlistment.
"The move is to move, but you seem to be a little older. Are you forty?" Hou Yong looked at the big man.
"It''s still two years away. Can''t you be old?" The big man asked with expectation.
"Not necessarily not," Hou Yong looked at him. "Do you have any specialty? It''s better than others. "
"My bow and arrow is OK. I don''t know if it counts?" The big man thought and said.
"Of course, what we lack most is sergeant who is good at archery." Hou Yong was pleasantly surprised, but he knew his county Lieutenant''s preference. He turned back and said to a sergeant, "prepare bows and arrows."
"What''s your name and where are you from?" He looked at the big man and motioned the clerk to record.
"I teach Huang Zhong, a surname from Nanyang. I just arrived here today. I haven''t found a place to live, so I came to join the army." Big man, that is, Huang Zhong said.
"Huang Zhong?" One side of the trick heard the sound and looked over, "do you want to be so lucky? It''s all ready to end. There''s a big fish! "
