Chapter 400: Sign up for the army
At a glance, it is a rough and bold man, and at a closer look, it is a gentle and elegant scholar, and the strange thing is that the two are strangely combined together, but they are not stiff, and they are natural and harmonious.
While Ren Xiaohang was looking at Ouyang Ye, Ouyang Ye was also observing Ren Xiaohang.
Yes, this big man is Li Ziyu's father Ouyang Ye.
Ouyang Ye secretly looked at Ren Xiaohang with a critical eye, and saw that although he had a face that charmed all beings, there was righteousness in his eyes. Such a man is generally more affectionate and will not mess with flowers. So, I'm basically satisfied.
According to the report of his subordinates, Yu'er and the young man in front of her got very close, and went to Yidu for the Ren family's affairs a few days ago. If he doesn't go on a business trip, Ren Xiaohang will become his son-in-law.
For the Ren family, he has secretly conducted a very detailed investigation. Don't look at the fact that the Ren family in Yidu is besieged by the Praetorian Guards now, but the Ren family's position in the Daye Dynasty army is unshakable, just like the Ouyang family in the past.
What worries him is that Ren Jiashu is a big move, and his achievements are high, and he is afraid that he will repeat the mistake of the Ouyang family and exterminating the family.
However, the Ren family is more sober than the Ouyang family sixteen years ago. This made him feel more at ease.
If the Ren family is as loyal to the court as his grandfather, then he will definitely beat the mandarin ducks and will never agree to this marriage.
Ren Xiaohang also knew that the person in front of him was observing him, and this person was definitely not simple. You must know that if he led so many people to appear in Shiyan Town in normal times, he would definitely attract the attention of the imperial court.
It's just that these people in front of him can solve his urgent needs, as if he can't refuse. Besides, they don't say that they are bandits, as long as they can fight the Liao army, who does it matter?
Ren Xiaohang had already made up his mind, so he asked, "Do you want to sign up to be a soldier?" What is your name? Where the family lives, everyone in the family is clear, and we are responsible for recording it so that we can contact the family in the future. ”
Ouyang Ye spoke first: "General Ren, the grass people have a reluctant request. I hope the chief agrees. ”
Ren Xiaohang asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Ouyang Ye said: "I hope that the gang I brought will all be under my name, and I will lead a team." You can rest assured that we will definitely obey the unified command and let us do whatever we want. ”
Ren Xiaohang frowned and thought for a while. He asked, "What do you call you?" ”
"Grass man Li Xiguang." Ouyang Ye replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Li Xiguang" Ren Xiaohang repeated the name in a low voice, feeling that this name was very familiar. He repeated it several times, and suddenly a clever one remembered. Isn't Yu'er's dead father named Li Xiguang?
Before he was so familiar with Yu'er, Ren Xiaohang sent someone to investigate Li Ziyu's family, mainly because Li Ziyu's infinitely strong age was too weird.
He remembers the results of the investigation. Li Ziyu's father is called Li Xiguang, is it the same name and surname? Or is Li Xiguang not dead?
If he didn't die, why didn't he go home? Or is there something wrong with it? Either way, he should have asked.
"Where do you live? Who is in the family? Ren Xiaohang suppressed the doubts and asked quietly.
"I live in Yangcaogouzi Village, Shiyan Town, and I have six children at home" Ouyang Ye saw that Ren Xiaohang was still so calm when he heard his name, and secretly appreciated it in his heart, and also replied with a blank look. He knew that Ren Xiaohang must know everything about his own situation, and it was impossible for him not to know his name. It's just that I don't know if I can calm down if I go any further.
"The eldest daughter's name is Li Ziyu. The eldest son's name is Li Zishan."
Ren Xiaohang almost jumped up when he heard this, but fortunately he didn't break the gong at the last moment and stabilized himself. He tried his best to suppress the urge to ask clearly, and looked at Li Xiguang fixedly, his heart was full of many questions, and it was complicated and indescribable for a while.
He glanced at Ren An, a clerk in the army who was in charge of recording the records next to him, and Ren An consciously handed the paper he had just written down to Ren Xiaohang.
Ren Xiaohang glanced at the long line of 1,000 people behind Li Xiguang (for the convenience of being called, Ouyang Ye will be changed to Li Xiguang in the future), and said to Li Xiguang: "You come with me, and the others continue to sign up." ”
After speaking. Put down the paper and said to Ren An and Bu Yi and Bu Er, who were maintaining order at the door: "You are responsible for registration here, I will go to the back hall, and no one should disturb me." ”
"Yes!"
Ren Xiaohang beckoned Li Xiguang and took the lead in striding into the back hall of the county government. He urgently needed to know whether this Li Xiguang was Li Ziyu's father now, so he was a little anxious.
Li Xiguang didn't rush in, but turned around and glanced at Ah Ming in the team with sharp Danfeng eyes, and Ah Ming nodded knowingly.
This time he joined the army, Li Xiguang did not bring Ah Quan. Ah Quan had to stay outside and be in charge of coordinating a qiē. Keep in touch with him at all times in case of emergencies.
Ah Quan is now the deputy of their team, and he has the information of various places, the income of the shop's fields, and the special training and management of the base personnel.
Li Xiguang also assigned several assistants to Ah Quan to assist him in completing the links of various links, and fully cooperated with him in joining the army this time.
This time, he brought four henchmen, Ah Ming, Ah Guang, Ah Zhuang, and Ah Shan, and the thousand people under him were also brought out by the four of them.
He planned to talk to the Ren family about the conditions, give the four of them the rank of lieutenant, and he wanted the position of lieutenant. These positions do not need to go through the imperial court, and the generals in the army can be directly promoted.
He admitted that he took advantage of the fire to rob this time, and he was not fair enough. However, if you want to quickly establish merit in the army, it is impossible to do without a certain position.
He urgently needs to be recognized by his children, and he also hopes that one day he can make a contribution and become truly strong and protect his children.
In this world, if there is no upright force and no ability to deter the young, his children will still be criticized and discriminated against because they do not have parental discipline.
God knows, how resentful he was when he knew about the gossip coming out of the village. should be a noble girl and a son of the world, beautiful and beautiful, and looked up to, but he was poured sewage on his body like this, how could he be embarrassed?
That's why he took such an aggressive approach to negotiate with the Ren family.
In fact, if you want to join the army without attracting attention, you should separate from your subordinates and sign up for the army if you don't know each other. In this way, in the army, he used his military merits to slowly promote and was the safest.
But it was too slow, and he couldn't afford to wait.
Before joining the army, he learned that his eldest daughter Li Ziyu had gone to Yidu. While worrying and worrying about her, I also strengthened my determination to get ahead and make contributions.
Li Xiguang entered the back hall of the county government and walked into the room where Ren Xiaohang was. The two talked in the house for half an hour before they walked out of the house at the same time.
I don't know how Ren Xiaohang and Li Xiguang negotiated, in short, after they came out, Ren Xiaohang announced that he would appoint Li Xiguang as the advance lieutenant and command a thousand soldiers and horses.
His subordinates Li Ming, Li Guang, Li Zhuang, and Li Shan were appointed as the first lieutenant of infantry, the second lieutenant of infantry, the first lieutenant of cavalry, and the second lieutenant of cavalry. The four of them led more than 200 people under their command, and they were compiled under the name of Li Xiguang.
After registering for the name, the army gave everyone three days off to reunite and say goodbye to their loved ones at home.
After all, the sword has no eyes, and who knows what will happen on the battlefield? (To be continued.) )
