At the end of the meeting, everyone gathered people and hurried back to the station to make a fortune. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Seeing Zhao Hu come out, Zhou Wen and Sun Jie, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately set their eyes on Zhao Hu's military rank, and when they saw the rank of colonel, they all showed different meanings, but they showed the same smile.

Back at the temporary station, everyone immediately gathered around to congratulate them, and after some excitement, Zhou Wen asked anxiously: "My lord, in addition to the rank of colonel and the commander of the fifth wing, what other rewards have you received?" Sun Jie and the others also looked at Zhao Hu with a wistful expression.

Zhao Hu said with a wry smile: "Jinwen County and the three counties that have been annexed by the Shanyue clan for many years have become my station. ”

"What?! Could it be that the division headquarters wants the adults to recover these county capitals!? We're just such a few people! Zhou Wen shouted angrily.

"No, alas, just now the division commander divided the coastal province, and all the wing commanders, brigade commanders, and division commanders each occupy a piece of territory." Zhao Hu told the situation of the meeting.

"What? The right to levy taxes on conscription! Isn't this a warlord separatism? ”

Zhou Wen immediately jumped up in surprise and said loudly: "I'm so happy that adults can show their ambitions and hegemony!" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Hu's cronies also rejoiced, to be honest, they have no loyalty to the empire at all, and they are happy to see the troubled times appear, and their own adults can take advantage of the situation.

Seeing the happy appearance of his cronies, Zhao Hu smiled slightly and motioned to Sun Jie to report the information he had collected. Sun Jie's information was not detailed, and it was similar to what Zhao Hu heard from the brigade commander. Zhao Hu understood that there was no way to do this, because most of the secret guards were placed in the Shanyue clan, but they ignored the intelligence of the empire itself.

The intelligence was quickly reported, and Sun Jie concluded: "My lord, it can be seen from this that the conspirators have been preparing for a long time, and it can be concluded that there are high-level elites in the empire involved, which finally led to the burning of the household registration data of the soldiers. It seems that the empire is about to fall apart, and I hope that your lordship will make a decision sooner. ”

Zhao Hu nodded: "Well, first put most of the power of intelligence gathering around us, then spread to the whole country, and finally ......"

Before he finished speaking, a personal guard ran in and reported: "My lord, the messenger of the division commander is here." ”

"The division commander messenger?"

Zhao Hu was stunned for a moment, but soon said helplessly: "Please." "He knew what the Commander Messenger was here for. An officer with the rank of major appeared in front of Zhao Hu, and after saluting Zhao Hu, he smiled and said: "Your Excellency Colonel, the division commander instructed the subordinate officer to come and inquire about the matter discussed in the conference room, if it has been decided, the division commander invites you to go to the division headquarters to discuss."

"Well, it's being discussed, it's hard for you to make a trip, please go back and tell the division commander, as soon as there is a result, I will immediately go to meet the division leader." Zhao Hu nodded and said.

The major looked at the people present, obviously discussing the matter, so he nodded and smiled: "Since this is the case, then the lower officer will go and reply to the division commander." ”

He also knew that his task was to urge, and in this situation, if the wing commanders with troops really wanted to turn their faces, the division commander could not do anything, and the major who understood these things nodded and retired.

"My lord, what did the division commander say about the discussion? Residency issues? Zhou Wen asked curiously.

Mark praised Zhou Wen in his heart for being a confidant, he couldn't speak, he opened his mouth, it was really wonderful.

"What else can I do, I just want to send a group of soldiers to him." Zhao Hu shook his head and smiled.

"What? How can this work? These soldiers are trained by us, and they are our starting capital, how can we transfer people to him! Zhou Wen immediately jumped up and shouted excitedly.

Everyone present nodded in agreement.

Seeing that everyone didn't agree, Zhao Hu said helplessly: "Have you thought about it?" The people of Jinwen City have settled on the outskirts of the provincial capital, which is the territory of the provincial capital and the territory of the division commander, and our station is in the hands of the Shanyue tribe. Think about it, do you say that the soldiers are willing to stay with their fathers and become soldiers, or follow us to recover Jinwen City? ”

The crowd was immediately dumbfounded. Do you still need to think about it? Idiots know which one to choose. Everyone's faces are not very good-looking, think about it, 11,000 people, of which 8,000 are veterans of bloody battles, such a strong soldier is gone all of a sudden, it is strange that it is not painful.

The scene immediately fell silent, everyone was thinking about things, and suddenly, Zhou Wen jumped up and shouted: "My lord, we still have those slave-born soldiers!" Their identity data is in the hands of adults, and they can only follow us, and with these people, recruit some people who are willing to go with us, and we can still form a wing. I don't believe that so many people don't want to join the army and make a career! ”

Sun Jie immediately clapped his hands and said: "That's right, there are so many people, there must be many who are willing to make contributions to the army!" And even if you don't want all of them, it doesn't matter, there are about 3,000 slave soldiers alone, enough to form the Fifth Wing! ”

"Haha, that's right, that's it!" Everyone burst into laughter.

Zhao Hu, who didn't care much about this, nodded and said, "Since everyone agrees, let's tell the soldiers." ”

In the temporary barracks, Zhao Hu didn't say anything about the truth, but only asked if he was willing to stay here to protect his father or follow him back to Haiquan Province.

Hearing this, the soldiers were silent, but everyone quickly thought about it, 11,000 people, except for about 3,000 slave-born soldiers who had no choice, only about 1,000 either had no family favor, or they liked excitement by nature, or they had the final say at home, and the soldiers who were ready to move the whole family away from the mountains as far away as possible expressed their willingness to follow, and the other soldiers all said that they wanted to stay with their fathers.

Everyone is prepared for this result, but they still feel very uncomfortable, at least it shows that they are not qualified to let people be willing to abandon their families and children to follow.

However, everyone still complied with the wishes of the soldiers.

Of course, the exception is that those who come from craftsmen's background, all of whom are obliged to follow the whole family. In these years, craftsmen are treasures, even Zhao Hu, who doesn't care much about anything, won't let them go.

After the matter was over, Zhao Hu took his cronies to the division headquarters.

Hearing that Zhao Hu came to the door, the division commander greeted him early, and the division commander with a smile on his face was not polite, and immediately said after sitting down in the living room: "Zhao Hu, how many soldiers are you going to transfer to me?" What compensation is required? If I can do it, just ask. ”

No wonder the division commander was so eager, he only had a few thousand guards at hand, and he panicked when he learned that there were already wings in neighboring provinces attacking each other and grabbing the garrison.

"My lord, with a thousand veterans from bloody battles as a unit, I don't know how much compensation you are willing to pay?" Zhao Hu asked.

The division commander said a little cautiously: "I heard that Zhao Hu's brigade commander once offered 1,000 people for 5,000 sets of equipment, but I don't know how much this price ......is."

Zhao Hu said with a smile: "My lord, the brigade commander only asks for 1,000 people, of course, at this price, if the price is right, it will be far more than 1,000 people, 2,000, 3,000, 5,000, or more." With these veterans, the division commander doesn't have to look at anyone's face. ”

The division commander frowned, more? Damn, if he can get the veterans of the two wings, Lao Tzu will immediately swallow the territory of the brigade commander who is still a hollow big turnip!

Thinking of this, the division commander gritted his teeth and said very heartbrokenly: "Be direct, give me the veterans of my two wings, and give you half of the materials of my division and regimental headquarters!" ”

"Oh? I don't know what the supplies are in the division headquarters? How many are there? Zhao Hu said in a very calm tone.

The commander of the division had already let himself out, so he didn't care and said: "5,000 war horses, 50,000 sets of iron shields, 50,000 sets of iron guns, 5,000 sets of iron armor, 20,000 longbows, 5,000 crossbows*bows, 100,000 bowstrings, 200,000 bundles of arrows, 100 city crossbows, and 100,000 sets of military uniforms and boots."

"These are the things I've accumulated over the years, and I'm so distressed to give half to you."

Zhao Hu and the others opened their mouths and were stunned, the commander of this division is really dark enough, and he actually has enough equipment to arm a division in the division headquarters.

No one believed it at all, because most of the materials received by the division and regiment headquarters were distributed, and only a part of the equipment and most of the spare parts were left in stock, how could it be possible to accumulate so much. After all, the duty of the division headquarters is to command, not to fight, and there is no equipment at all in peacetime.

"Well, of course we are satisfied with so many supplies, but ......" Zhao Hu pretended to groan.

"But what? Say it! ”

The division commander's temper has become bad, and he has given half of the inventory, what do you want? If you drag it out like this, the gods will be angry.

"Well, we want half of the craftsmen in the provincial city, and we ask the adults to fulfill this, and at the same time, we also ask the adults to prepare a carriage for us to load so many supplies, and in addition to the carriages needed to carry the supplies, we also need a carriage that can carry tens of thousands of people." Zhao Hu said neatly.

Now he is not in a hurry, looking at the eager appearance of the division commander, he knows that he needs an army to serve him very much, if he knows that even if he doesn't speak, those soldiers are also his, I don't know if he will be so angry that he vomits blood?

"The carriage is fine, there is it in the warehouse, as for half of the craftsmen, this is definitely not good! The blacksmith can only give you a fifth, and the shipwright can't give a single one! But it doesn't matter if all the other craftsmen give it to you! The division commander said very strongly.

"My lord, it doesn't matter if the other craftsmen can get more, you also know that the blacksmith needs the help of the blacksmith to make repair equipment." Zhao Hu said with a busy face.

"One-fifth of the blacksmiths are enough to be responsible for the manufacture of weapons in your troops, and the repair of equipment can be completely entrusted to the logistics troops." The division commander bit and held on.
