Bai Yang and Jia Xu waited in Heiyun Village for a day, and the next afternoon, Zhou Cang and the others came to Bai Yang's residence.

A few people were quite formal, and the ten senior brothers lined up to kneel down for Bai Yang; "Lord Taishou, after careful consideration by a few of us, our Heiyun Village will be mixed with you in the future."

"In the past few years, we have led Heiyunzhai to do anything harmful to heaven and reason in these ten miles and eight townships, that is, I have robbed the landlord and squire several times before. What do adults want to do, Zhou Cang is responsible for it alone, and it has nothing to do with other brothers. Zhou Cang said, glancing at the brothers around him.

"I just hope that the adults will not embarrass the other brothers on the mountain, they are all good people. Zhou Cang is here to meet the lord. As soon as Zhou Cang's words fell, Pei Yuanshao and other brothers also kowtowed and bowed: "Meet the lord." ”

"Brothers, please get up, get up." Bai Yang said and helped everyone up and said, "In my opinion, you brothers are not robbers or bandits, but real heroes and righteous soldiers. In the past few years, the official family has not been pretentious, causing everyone to fall into the grass, but since I have met Bai, I must let you learn to the extreme, make meritorious contributions, marry a wife and have children. Zhou Cang, let's go to Juyi Hall to talk. ”

"Okay, listen to the lord, let's go to the Juyi Hall."

Zhou Cang and other brothers, Jia Xu and Bai Yang came to Juyi Hall. Bai Yang lives in the high hall, Jia Xu sits first on the left hand, and Zhou Cang sits first on the right hand.

After everyone sat down separately, Bai Yang said: "Zhou Cang, you can introduce me to the situation of Heiyun Village." ”

"Yes, my lord. Now there are more than 400 young and strong people in Heiyun Village, more than 130 children and the old and weak, among these people, there are 20 blacksmiths and carpenters, and the rest are ten of our brothers. ”

"Now most of the young and strong people in the village use spears as the main weapons, basically one gun per person, more than 50 single knives, as for our brothers, each has its own blade. Now there is a shortage of armor and armor and war horses in the village, and as for the food problem, the food that was transported back from the county town two days ago can last for more than half a month, and there is nothing else. ”

Zhou Cang talked about the basic situation of Heiyun Village. There are still a lot of people, and there are more than 500 people in total, but there are only about 400 people who can fight, which is similar to what Jia Xu said at the time. However, there are also things that can be done to manage these old and weak people.

When Bai Yang went up the mountain yesterday, he took a look at the young men on the mountain, maybe he was malnourished for a long time, and it can be said that he was in a very poor state, even some of the recruits who had just joined the army in later generations were not as good, of course, it was a bit insulting to say that they were soldiers here. All of them are so lazy that they can't be seen and have no discipline at all, and they are just a few brothers and sisters who have enough prestige, otherwise it will be a question whether they can command the movement.

"Do these young men train normally?"

"In the past, I used to train regularly, but during this time, I stopped training because of food problems, after all, I couldn't train without enough food, and training was particularly food-intensive."

"Well, I see, so be it. A few of your brothers left two of you on the mountain to reorganize, ready to wait for my notice to prepare for the descent from the mountain. Especially those blacksmiths and carpenters, this is a baby bump, and they must be protected. As for the rest of you, prepare yourself and go with me to the county tomorrow. ”

"Yes, my lord."

Seeing that things were almost arranged, Bai Yang got up and returned to the place where he lived with Jia Xu, thinking about going to the county town to hand over government affairs.

In the evening, with a loud noise, Bai Yang woke up from his thoughts.

After walking out of the door, he saw Jia Xu walking towards him and hurriedly asked, "Wenhe, what's the matter?" ”

"Lord, listen to the minions, just now Brother Fu Tong took a few younger brothers down to patrol the mountain and met Brother Zhuyan, Brother Zhuyan heard that you are still on the mountain, so he and Brother Fu Tong went up the mountain, and now it is estimated that it is almost there."

Sure enough, as soon as Jia Xu finished speaking, he heard Fu Tong shouting: "Lord, Brother Zhuyan is here." ”

Then I saw a few people hugging each other and walking into the courtyard, and the people at the head were Fu Tong, Zhu Yan and Zhu Lao.

"Elders, you are here, please come in." Bai Yang took the elders' arms and walked into the house.

"Xiaoyang, you kid, you will become a big official in a blink of an eye, and you have a future." Saying that, the elders raised their thumbs and said: "But you don't have to spend so much, you have to take me to the county city from afar, and I can't help much when I'm so old, it's all the same there." ”

"What you said, Zhu Yan followed me to the county seat, why don't you come over and have a look. We are all young, hairy, and down-to-earth. ”

"Haha......, you just lift up my old man, but Xiaoyan can follow you and I am 10,000 assured, you will be his brother in the future, and if there is anything wrong, you will beat him, it's okay." After speaking, the elders glanced at Zhu Yan on the side.

Zhu Yanlian said: "I must be obedient, I will do whatever my brother Yang tells me to do." But Brother Yang, I want to be a general, can I lead troops to fight? ”

Looking at Zhu Yan's expectant eyes, Bai Yang laughed and said: "What's so difficult about this, as long as you learn from Brother Yang, Brother Yang will make you a marshal, the kind that can lead ten thousand armies." Haha......"

Saying that, several people showed a happy smile, in fact, Zhu Yan didn't say that Bai Yang would also let him lead the troops to fight, and it was recorded in the romance that although Zhu Yan's martial arts were not particularly outstanding, he was a famous wise general in the Yellow Turban Army. Later, I remembered that the great sage and mentor Zhang Jiaozhi's grace was renamed Zhang Yan, and he led the Montenegrin Army, which made a lot of names, how could such a good seedling be wasted.

"Brother Yang, I also want to lead the troops, and I also want to be a general." On the side, Hu Zhi also interjected, looking at the expectant eyes of everyone on the side, Bai Yang also knew what everyone thought.

Bai Yang also thought when he was a child, who didn't want to lead the troops into battle.

But now the first is not fighting.

Second, there are no soldiers. Now I haven't gone to hand over to the county officials, who knows what the situation is in the county now.

The third and most important thing is that from Bai Yang's point of view, these people are still a little short of leading the troops, and they must be cultivated well. In his own plan, he should cover his head for a period of time and engage in development, fight the bandits in the county town, develop for a few years, and wait for the Yellow Turban Rebellion to break out.

However, he didn't want to discourage everyone's enthusiasm, and said in a loud voice: "Okay, seeing that everyone's enthusiasm is so high, in this way, in the future, Bai will open a military academy in the county town, as long as you can graduate from it, you can lead the troops to fight, okay?" ”

When everyone heard that they were still going to school, some people were happy and some were worried, and some people felt that they still needed to go to school to fight the war? Aren't you a strategist? Besides, I'm not that material, and I guess my head is big when I look at the words.

There are also some studious people who feel that this is an opportunity for them to finally learn words and become readers. During this period, the little book knowledge was completely controlled by the family, so if you can become a reader, you are superior.

"Lord, this is good, it's just that everyone doesn't know a single word, and the teaching process is estimated to be very long, most of them have to start over, and there is no gentleman to teach them." Jia Xu felt on the side that this idea was indeed very good, but it was not easy to implement.

If this is really done, it will definitely have a big impetus for the later development of Baiyang's forces, as long as there is a school, it means that you can cultivate talents by yourself, and the meaning will be completely different at that time.

"Wen Hedon't have to worry, he has his own way, and it won't be a problem to be literate for a month or two, and we'll start to do it after we get acquainted with politics when we return to the county town."

After Bai Yang and Jia Xu finished speaking, they said to everyone: "That's all for today, let's go back and rest." Tomorrow we will set off early in the morning and return to Changshan County. ”
