In this way, once Zhao Hu makes meritorious service, he can laugh at the old man, and even perform in front of the world with a tearful but helpless expression, and then kill his relatives with mediocrity, neglect of his duties, and the reason that leading troops is not as good as the city guards, and get rid of the old guy's position! So there will be absolutely no gossip!

Even Zhao Hu couldn't imagine that the things he wanted to be busy with could be done so easily, it seems that huge interests can be used as a master key, well, maybe this trick can be used to expand the intelligence network to Shanyue Kingdom. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Since tomorrow is the New Year, the enthusiastic provincial governor and division commander stopped Zhao Hu, who wanted to go back to celebrate the New Year with his subordinates. In this regard, Zhao Hu, who couldn't refuse, had to order his guards to take people to make purchases, so that the soldiers could have a good New Year, and he and Zhou Wen and Sun Jie stayed here for the New Year.

Time flies, and all of a sudden it is out of the New Year's Pass, because of the greeting of the two giants, those merchants are also stained, and the purchase of goods is very smooth, except for a few merchants who have settled in the provincial capital, everyone else has packed their bags.

After staying in the provincial capital for nearly ten days, these businessmen clearly realized that Zhao Hu, a major who served as the chief officer of the city guard as a staff officer of the wing, was a figure with great background.

Otherwise, why would a small major let such giants as the provincial governor and division commander be warmly entertained, and almost all of them have taken turns staying overnight in the mansions of the two giants for the past ten days. In contrast, the brigade commanders deigned to come and invite a major to a banquet, which did not seem surprising.

Of course, the people in the escort team also heard the rumors, and they were the chief officers and felt majestic, and they all felt that they were superior.

Of course, they came to the assessment as early as the Chinese New Year, and this first assessment was relatively simple, which was the performance of endurance, ranking, and spear thrust. As a result, it is not surprising that the vast majority of the auxiliaries were promoted to soldiers, and the vast majority of the soldiers became auxiliaries. No way, there is a big difference between youth and prime of life.

As for the positions of the captain and the squad leader and the ten-captain, it was all replaced. Whoever calls the auxiliary soldiers and the combat soldiers to be fully replaced, and the grassroots officers can only be re-elected with all.

So when Zhao Hu left the provincial capital with his men and horses, he became almost a wing of soldiers.

The members of the convoy, although they were still dressed in black like Orion, had changed their shotguns and guns, all of them were in the same color of Mito armor, and then more than 4,000 people were equipped with a shiny steel knife, a steel shield, and an all-iron spear.

Of course, the remaining 800 or so people were armed with a hunting knife, a strong bow and an arrow bag, and these people were all sharpshooters from Orion who had no place to use before.

However, it is a little strange that Zhao Hu not only left those bamboo guns, but also asked the craftsmen of the city to build a large number of sharp and hard gun heads, and specially brought a carriage to fill them and take them away.

The originally generous division commander saw that Zhao Hu had selected the Mito armor that was thrown into the corner of the warehouse as a scrap, and immediately selected a batch of excellent leather armor for Zhao Hu, but Zhao Hu, who had already inquired about the vicinity of Jinwen City, or should say that it was the weather in Shanyue Kingdom, shook his head and refused.

Shanyue Kingdom, including Jinwen City, is rainy and humid weather, wearing leather armor is easy to get soft hair, and finally becomes a tattered piece, or waterproof Miteng armor is the most affordable.

Although this Mito armor is afraid of fire, it performs very well in the face of the destruction of bows and arrows and slashes and spears, and it can also increase buoyancy when it falls into the water, how can you not want such a good thing?

As for changing the archer to a crossbow * bow? Zhao Hu didn't limit what bows they used, but the archers all chose strong bows similar to hunting bows, and for them, by the time you shoot a second crossbow arrow, he will already shoot you into a prickly shrimp.

In the respectful gaze of the merchant and the proud demeanor of the guards, the banner of the Jinwencheng City Guards flicked and began to set off back to Jinwencheng.

Zhao Hu, who had tens of thousands of people with him, finally returned to Jinwen County after spending more time than when he came.

This time, Zhao Hu's side was more shrewd and sent cavalry to notify in advance, so their arrival was not as alert as the last time. However, there were many more people who greeted Zhao Hu at the gate of the city than last time, and it can be said that almost the people of the whole city gathered here.

Zhou Wen saw that his team was so popular, and immediately said excitedly: "When did we become so prestigious among the people." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Hu smiled and said nothing.

And Sun Jie cautiously reminded: "Eldest sister, our escort team has almost swept away the strong men in the whole city, and there are merchants in the whole city behind us, these people are not welcoming us, but welcoming their families." ”

Zhou Wen said disapprerovingly: "What's the difference, since the people they greet are our soldiers, then they are to welcome us, which shows that recruiting local soldiers to join the army is a good way to win the hearts of the people." ”

"Of course, this is a good idea, their relatives and nephews serve under our command, and they must treat us as relatives and nephews, so that we can take advantage of the local war." Sun Jie nodded and said.

"If it's not fighting on home, isn't it the opposite of what it is now? Can't move an inch? Zhao Hu asked suddenly.

Zhou Wen hurriedly said: "Of course, no matter how powerful the army is, it will not be able to go anywhere, you must know that it is their land, and the soldiers are also the children of the local people, unless we kill them all, or buy people, otherwise it will be absolutely difficult to move an inch without guides and supplies." ”

When Zhou Wenxiang opened his mouth to speak, the team had already come to the city gate, and the cheers filled the sky.

"My lord, which lieutenant colonel of the wing headquarters is coming to greet us!"

The lieutenant colonel, after a few words with Zhao Hu, said that Mark and his squad were all wiped out by the bandits, and took out a new order for the joint commander's method.

"I hereby order, Major Zhao Hu, since I received the order, I will temporarily act as the defense of Jinwen City, and be responsible for the security of Jinwen City." Zhao Hu was stunned for a moment and then took the order.

Return to the county governor's mansion, which has been turned into a barracks.

Zhou Wen helped Zhao Hu untie his battle robe while nagging: "My lord, it doesn't matter if you used to be a military officer, but now that you are in the position of city defense, why do you have to have a few maids to greet you!" ”

Zhao Hu shook his head and smiled: "There's no need to be so troublesome, and I'm not a city defense, I'm just temporarily responsible for the safety of the city." However, if you want a maid, you can recruit them locally, and the number of them is up to you. ”

Zhao Hu is very decentralised in this regard, if Ou Di is the manager, then Zhou Wen is the housekeeper, and Zhou Wen is responsible for these trivial things.

Sun Jie ignored the excited Zhou Wen, leaned forward and whispered: "My lord, after receiving the latest information, except for the lieutenant colonel and a dozen or so, all the officers and soldiers of the Fifth Wing, after getting the news that we returned to the city, immediately all went out and left the city. ”

"No wonder you can't see the other Imperial soldiers when you enter the city, you know what the Fifth Wing is doing?" Zhao Hu nodded and asked.

"Well, it should be that these mountain bandits are very difficult to deal with, otherwise Mark wouldn't have been wiped out because of patrolling." Zhao Hu nodded and said.

Zhou Wen said with a smile: "Hehe, when I heard my lord say this, it was very unexpected to say that Major Mark was wiped out, and my lord can't help but look down on Major Mark too much, right?" You must know that his hundreds of people are all newcomers, and it is strange that they are not attacked by mountain bandits!

"But it's also our luck, if we go on patrol, with these untrained recruits, after encountering the mountain bandits, although they will not be wiped out, but it is strange that they have not lost eighty percent of the people, you must know that the mountains and forests are the territory of the mountain bandits, why should we compete with them."

Hearing this, Zhao Hu sighed helplessly, nodded and said, "Confirm this, we need to strengthen training." ”

While he was talking, one of the guards came in to report it.

"My lord, the principal of the middle school is unwilling to accept those laborers, saying that the manpower is not customary enough, let your lord help take care of it temporarily, this is a warrant." As he spoke, he handed over a note.

Zhao Hu took the note and looked at it, and smiled: "This lieutenant colonel is very careful, he even has to leave a written proof for such a trivial matter, but this is worth learning from. ”

"My lord, my subordinates will spread this matter back to the Southeast Peninsula." The clever Sun Jie said busily.

The lieutenant colonel in Zhao Hu's mouth, that is, the lieutenant colonel who is the second oldest in the wing commander's subordinates, is wandering around the street with a few small soldiers at the moment, and now the whole city is surrounded by his own soldiers, and the wing headquarters is empty and unpopular, since this is the case, it is better to take this opportunity to go home and rest for a few days.

"Sir, why is it your turn to garrison the city this time? They used to be officers at the rank of major, huh? And why do we keep so many people? The little soldier said with a match.

It's not that he has an opinion that he can't fight, after all, he used to stay in a brigade, but now he can have more brothers to make meritorious contributions, and it is more popular to have so few garrisons now, so he is just curious and casually asking.

"Because now there is Major Zhao Hu's city guard to help, so you can send a large army to fight for merit."

The second lieutenant colonel did not answer the previous question, in fact, it is very simple, the wing needs to have a person with a high rank to stay, and when Zhao Hu is messing around, it is convenient to use the military rank to suppress it. He, the lieutenant colonel who met Zhao Hu the most, won the lottery like this.

As he spoke, before the lieutenant colonel and the soldier could react, they fell to the ground with their companions stuck in their bodies.

The people in the street were stunned for a moment, and then they screamed in panic, and the crowd that understood what was happening immediately scattered with a bang as if they had been disturbed by a pile of flies.
