Chapter 184: Recruitment

"Come on, we're late, it's already started."

Several young men wearing homespun clothes and their hair tied with wooden sticks pulled Wang Xiao and ran towards the crowded street.

This is a temple fair to catch a fair, and people from all over the country come here to participate in the gathering with all kinds of agricultural products.

For the villagers of Sili and Eight Towns, this is a rare and lively day.

In the countryside, most of them are bartering, and few are taking out large coins to trade.

Several companions around Wang Xiao were surprised by everything, looking left and right. Especially when I saw the big girl Xiao Xifu who was carrying chicken and vegetables, her eyes lit up and drooled.

This is all something that cannot be helped, because of the concept of patriarchy. In Chinese history, except for a small period of time when the number of men decreased due to war, there have always been more men than women, and the difficulty of marrying a wife is not something only in the modern world.

Wang Xiao had no interest in catching up with the market, and he didn't respond at all to the gazes of the big girl Xiao Xifu who was hungry for his strong body and kept looking at him.

Casually looking around, find a companion who looks smarter, and ask in a low voice, "What year is it?" ”

"What year?" The companion who came with him thought for a moment, then shook his head, "I don't know." ”

Wang Xiao smiled helplessly.

It is normal for these villagers who have never had the opportunity to leave their hometowns for almost their entire lives, and who don't know a single big word, not knowing the year.

"Then we will always know where we are."

"Oh, we're here in Changshan County, Zhending County. Did you go down to the river to fish yesterday and choke on the water? ”

Wang Xiao raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, it was really Zhao Zilong of Shijiazhuang.

He still didn't give up, "I haven't heard anything big about anything happening outside recently?" ”

The companion finally withdrew his gaze from a few local chickens with fluttering wings, thought for a while, and said, "A few years ago, the county posted a notice, saying that it was recruiting rebels to fight the Yellow Turban thieves. ”

Wang Xiao's eyes lit up, "A few years ago? ”

The Yellow Turban Rebellion was seven years of light and was put down in less than a year. It's really important to determine the time period.

The companion's head turned with a big girl not far away, "I don't remember." ”

Wang Xiao asked in a different way: "You have said a few Zhengdan. ”

"There seem to be three or four."

Wang Xiao smiled, it was almost the same as it was in 187 or 188 AD.

In history, Zhao Yun first appeared in 191 A.D., and defected to Gongsun Zan with the righteous soldiers of Changshan County.

Now a few years in advance, there is a lot of room to operate.

Saving the big man, that difficulty is not ordinary.

At the very least, you have to pacify the crowd everywhere.

If you come out too late, there won't be many places to operate.

"Zilong, look." The companion pulled Wang Xiao's arm and shook it, and shouted happily, "That's the second girl of Liu Zhuangtou's family in the next village, she is looking at me." ”

A young girl looked at Wang Xiao shyly, and ran away with a red face after a while.

Looking at the young man beside him who was trembling with excitement, Wang Xiao finally decided not to tell him the cruel truth of this world.

It wasn't until late afternoon that a group of hungry boys reluctantly embarked on the road back.

Along the way, everyone was excited to tell each other how beautiful the little lady of who's family was, and who still saw me.

For these greens. Spring. Period irritability. The young men who moved, Wang Xiao listened with a tolerant attitude.

He didn't say anything on the way, for fear that he couldn't help but tell his glorious achievements, and that he would be tied to a pillar and burned by these boys.

Under the surprised guidance of others, Wang Xiao returned to his home.

In other words, it is Zhao Zilong's home.

Wang Xiao was still quite worried, because he didn't know which version of the Three Kingdoms was here.

He still doesn't know if it's the official history, the romance, the joke, the canless, the, or the terrifying Xianxia. I was really worried, and as soon as I pushed the door open, I saw Zuo Ci, who was a fairy wind bone, and said to him, "Disciple, you're back." ”

The family is a very ordinary adobe house, with a fence in front of the gate and a few plots of land have been opened, and some vegetables are grown.

Pushing the door and entering the house, there were two spirit tablets enshrined on the table facing the door.

One reads on it the deceased father Zhao Liangfu, and he is silent.

One says Ancestor Tong Xiongfu, Obscure Yuan.

"It can't really be the world of some god." Wang Xiao thought about it for a long time, and finally came to the conclusion that this Three Kingdoms world was a little weird.

Bows and quivers hung from the walls, and a spear sat on a shelf beside it. The other is the kitchen and the bedroom.

After a careful search, it is not a family with four walls. At least he found more than a hundred five-baht coins.

"Anyway, let's get out of the village first."

If you want to save the big man, you definitely can't go it alone. And if you want to form your own forces, you must go to the big cities.

Early the next morning, Wang Xiao, who had a good night's sleep, got up to wash, and then incense the spirit card on the table.

After that, he began to pack up the cloth, food, and other items in the house.

These are all starting capitals, and no matter how much they are, they are better than nothing.

Then he heard the sound of gongs beating outside.

When I went out and came to the village, I saw the messenger from the county beating gongs and drums on the threshing floor and shouting, "Today, there is a yellow turban thief, Kou Guotai and others, and there is an incident in Baibo Valley in Hexi." Raid Taiyuan, Hedong and other counties. The magistrate of the county was ordered by the county guard to recruit brave and strong rebels, and those who have the intention to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions should go to the county to sign up. ”

The Yellow Turban Rebellion was the trigger for the fall of the Han Dynasty. It was this great rebellion that opened the Three Kingdoms era and dug the deep pit that filled the Han Dynasty.

Although the chaos that swept the world in the seventh year of Guanghe has long been quelled, there are still a large number of Yellow Turban remnants in various places.

Wang Xiao had read the information before he came, and he knew very well that the offensive launched by Guo Tai and others was the second outbreak of the remnants of the Yellow Turban in the fifth year of Zhongping.

Although it still failed this time, it forced Emperor Ling of Han to change the history of the assassin to a state pastor and delegate the power of military and political affairs, thus giving the group of heroes the opportunity to rise together.

And next year will be the day when Dong Zhuo enters Luoyang City.

"Guo Tai's incident was in February, and the news came here, at most a month or two. Time is of the essence. ”

Although Changshan County is still some distance from Taiyuan, Hedong and other counties. But the problem is that the Montenegrin Army, commanded by Zhang Yan, who is himself from Changshan, is operating nearby.

Moreover, there are many thieves and Yellow Turban remnants in the counties north of the Yellow River, with 20,000 or 30,000 powerful people and 6,700 small ones. Zhang Yan is known as a million.

Now that the white wave thieves have raised troops, God knows if Zhang Yan and others will send troops to respond.

The first thing that the local yamen, who were frightened by the Yellow Turban massacre a few years ago, thought of immediately recruiting troops to deal with it. This is especially true after the soldiers were transferred away to guard against Zhang Yan.

When the messenger left, the people of the village were talking. Wang Xiao stepped into the threshing floor and jumped on the stone mill with his legs raised.

"Everyone!"

Wang Xiao raised his hand to attract everyone's attention: "The Yellow Turban thieves are back, and this is a good time for us to protect the territory and the people." If you don't want to farm in the village all your life, and you don't want to be blackmailed and looted by thieves all day long, then go to the county with me to apply! With our hands, fight one and seal the marquis out immediately! ”

Zhao An used to be an officer in the official army, and Tong Yuan was a well-known gun and stick master in the north.

So Wang Xiao's reputation in the village, and even in nearby villages, is very loud. He is like a leader of the younger generation.

At this time, the Chinese martial spirit has not been abolished, and young people are enthusiastic and impulsive, yearning for the outside world.

Wang Xiao raised his arms and shouted, and many young people on the spot responded loudly.

On the one hand, Wang Xiao assigned some people to go to the surrounding villages to gather people in his name, and on the other hand, he collected materials and prepared for distribution.

He did it for a simple reason.

If Wang Xiao goes to the county seat alone, even if he shows outstanding martial arts, at most, he can mix with a long man, a military chief or something.

But if he had brought dozens or hundreds of people over, the treatment would have been completely different. Maybe you can mix up with the uncle, this is the highest position under the officer.

If the starting point of the departure is different, the subsequent results will naturally be different.

The development of events was even better than Wang Xiao imagined. In other words, the young people of this era have a desire to win the marquis immediately.

In this village alone, there are more than 30 people who are willing to follow Wang Xiao to apply.

By the next day, more than 100 people had come from several nearby villages.

They are all young people who have heard Wang Xiao's name and are willing to follow him.

In the Han Dynasty, swords and soldiers were not forbidden, and the young people who came were all armed with weapons and bows and arrows. A small number even wore armor and shields.

Wang Xiao immediately postponed the departure time.

First, the young people were asked to nominate their own captains, and then it took two days to conduct the most basic detachment and training.

There will definitely be nothing to practice in two days, Wang Xiao has spent his time in the queue, just looking energetic and extraordinary when he walks.

Until the third day, Wang Xiao spent all the more than 100 five-baht coins at home, as well as cloth and grain. He bought some wine and meat to entertain these young men who were willing to follow him.

"Brother Zilong is heroic!"

"I'm willing to die for Brother Zilong!"

After eating and drinking, more than 100 people walked towards the county seat with weapons on their shoulders.

Before arriving at the county seat, Wang Xiao began to form a team.

Those in armor are in front, and the archers are behind. The others lined up at the back.

Everyone was in a row of five, trying to maintain a neat queue.

Although there were only more than 100 people, the defenders in the county town were shocked when they saw them, and immediately rang the bell and closed the city gate.

When the county lieutenant in armor and blade led people up the city wall, Wang Xiao shouted, "We are here to recruit and join the army." ”

Wang Xiao's reputation here is not small, and many people in the county know him.

After repeatedly confirming that they were all young men from all over the village who had applied for recruitment, he carefully opened the city gate.

Seeing Wang Xiao leading a strict queue into the city, the county lieutenant nodded slowly.

"It's well deserved."

The next thing is simple, Wang Xiao and they all became righteous servants. And Wang Xiao was also appreciated by the county lieutenant, and successfully became the uncle, commanding the more than 150 young men he brought over.

After receiving the weapons and armor issued by the county's arsenal, Wang Xiao began to strictly train his soldiers and horses day and night.

A few days later, news came to the county seat, and a group of thieves entered Zhending County.
