Under the gaze of many strong men, Liu Xia walked up to a burly man and said, "What's your name?" ”

The big man obviously didn't expect that Liu Xia would ask himself a question, and he suddenly felt excited in his heart, and at the same time, the other people looked at the big man with envy. This big man seemed to stutter a little, because he knew that the person in front of him was the grandfather of the current dynasty, and he was a hero who defeated the hundreds of thousands of Qing army Tartars. Ever since he heard of Liu Xia's name, this big man has admired Liu Xia very much, although Liu Xia's age is not as old as his.

"Hui Guogong, villain, villain is called Tiedan." After hearing this, Liu Xia smiled on his face, hammered the iron egg's chest with his fist, and said, "Sure enough, he is a good man." A veritable iron egg. I'm optimistic about you, you must not fall behind in the next selection, after entering the recruit corps, strive to work harder, and enter the hero brigade in our ace army, the Fengyun brigade! ”

The iron egg immediately straightened his waist and said, "Yes!" Iron Egg will definitely enter the Fengyun Brigade! ”

The Fengyun Brigade is a brigade under the Guards Regiment, and it has a great reputation because of Liu Xia's reward. The Guards Regiment has now been upgraded to the Guards Brigade, and the Guards Brigade has now expanded into two regiments, which requires a lot of people, but these people are mainly drawn from the previous veterans, and at the same time a part of the recruits are added to it, and the recruits who are supplemented are the best, so it is also the most difficult for recruits to enter the Guards Brigade.

Speaking of which, I have to talk about the origin of the soldiers of the various armies in the Pingbei Army, the soldiers of the Eagle Yang Guard are all selected old scouts, and it is basically impossible for new recruits to enter the Eagle Yang Guard. After all, Yingyangwei is a special force, and it is not something that ordinary people can enter casually. The second is the pro-guard brigade, due to the special nature of the pro-guard brigade, after all, this is a guard to protect Liu Xia and Luoyang, so they are the most elite men, and the source of the selected soldiers is the veterans in the previous regiments, of course, some recruits are also selected to supplement fresh blood, but relatively rare. And after entering the Guards Brigade, then the future is basically bright, and there are generally two ways to perform well, one is to enter the Guards, and the other is to be transferred to other brigades as grassroots officers.

And the guards are a more special existence, the guards are the guards who protect Liu Xia alone, although it is a brigade, but the rank level is equivalent to the regimental level. The soldiers inside are all elites, and if they are transferred out, they can basically serve as middle and high-level officers. With the exception of the two special existences of the Pro-Guard Brigade and the Eagle Guard, the replenishment of other brigades is carried out directly from the recruit corps, and no veteran transfer is carried out.

This time, due to the heavy losses of the Pingbei Army and the large expansion, the previous veterans basically served as officers, which made those soldiers who survived very happy.

Liu Xia spent the morning in the recruit corps looking at those recruits, and many recruits received Liu Xia's encouragement. In the entire barracks, the atmosphere was hot, and those who had been personally encouraged by Liu Xia were envied, jealous and hated by their companions.

In the afternoon, Liu Xia returned to Zheng Guogong's Mansion (because Liu Xia was named Zheng Guogong, so the previous Pingbeihou plaque has been taken down, and now a plaque of Zheng Guogong's Mansion is hung), and after returning to the study, Meng Yu came in a hurry.

As soon as Meng Yu saw Liu Xia, his face suddenly smiled, which made Liu Xia wonder very much, what is Meng Yu laughing at again? Am I wearing the wrong clothes? No, if he wore the wrong clothes, how could Meng Yu dare to laugh? Could it be that another wife and concubine are pregnant? No, this Meng Yu laughed too obscenely, it was definitely not a serious matter.

So Liu Xia's face turned pale and said, "What is so happy?" ”

Meng Yu glanced left and right, then walked to Liu Xia's side, and whispered: "General, my subordinates have captured a peerless beauty for the general, and she is really a fairy." Even the ladies in the backyard can't compare. ”

Liu Xia wondered, how beautiful this woman is to be able to overshadow Bian Yujing, Liu Ru and others! However, when Liu Xia heard that Meng Yu had caught it, his face suddenly darkened and said, "How can General Ben be a person who bullies the people?" How dare you rob the people's daughter! ”

Liu Xia shouted, which immediately scared Meng Yu a lot, so Meng Yu hurriedly explained: "No, no, you think too much, general, this is not a small robbery of the people's daughter." This woman has a lot of background. With that, Meng Yu handed a painting in his hand to Liu Xia.

"Oh?" Liu Xia became interested, glanced at Meng Yu, then took the painting and slowly opened it. I saw that the painting was a beauty, and the beauty on this painting was really captivating, and Liu Xia was attracted.

"Hehe" Meng Yu knew that Liu Xia would definitely be fascinated, after all, they were all men, and after following Liu Xia for so long, Meng Yu still knew Liu Xia better, otherwise Meng Yu would not have given this peerless beauty picture to Liu Xia. Meng Yu smiled lewdly: "General, this real person is thousands of times more beautiful than the one on this painting!" ”

"Who the hell is this man?" I am still quite familiar with Liu Xia at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and there are only a few peerless beauties who were famous in the late Ming Dynasty. This is definitely not Da Yu'er, because Da Yu'er is in Beijing at this time, and Meng Yu currently does not have the ability to capture Da Yu'er. Chen Yuanyuan is also unlikely, after all, Chen Yuanyuan is also in Beijing, and other Qin Huai Bayan is also unlikely, after all, the beauty on this picture can really overshadow Bian Yujing and others, it must not be Li Xiangjun and others. So who is this? Is there such a beauty at the end of the Ming Dynasty?

Meng Yu laughed lewdly and said, "General Hui, according to the results of his subordinates' investigation, this woman is that Chen Yuanyuan!" ”

"Chen Yuanyuan!" Liu Xia exclaimed.

"Isn't Chen Yuanyuan in Beijing? How did you get her? ”

Meng Yu then told Liu Xia what happened in Zhengzhou before, and finally said: "General, according to the speculation of his subordinates, the reason why Chen Yuanyuan appeared in Henan must be that Wu Sangui established himself in Hubei, so he secretly picked up Chen Yuanyuan from Beijing, but he was intercepted by us." ”

Liu Xia was very surprised, he didn't expect that he would get Chen Yuanyuan in this way, Liu Xia said: "Are there other Wu Sangui's family members?" ”

Meng Yu said: "General Huiyu, I didn't see anyone else, only Chen Yuanyuan still had two truckloads of goods at that time, and the rest were gone." General, now that Chen Yuanyuan has been transported to Luoyang City, he is in the small courtyard of Dongcheng at this time, can the general go and take a look? ”

Liu Xia couldn't help it, after all, this is a stunning beauty, where is Liu Xia reserved? So he immediately decided: "Okay, let's go and have a look." ”

"Hey, hey." Meng Yu smiled, and led Liu Xia towards the small courtyard of the East City.

This time, Liu Xia went to Weifu and did not lead a large number of personal guards and members of the four guards who traveled with him. Including Shouhu.

After a few streets, it didn't take long for Meng Yu to take Liu Xia to the small courtyard, which was guarded by dozens of people at this time, all of whom were the personal guards of the investigation department.

"Squeak~~" The gate of the courtyard was opened, and Liu Xia and the others also walked in quickly.

"General, then Chen Yuanyuan is staying in the wing, and his subordinates have found two maids to watch."

Liu Xia nodded with satisfaction and walked towards the wing.

At this time, Chen Yuanyuan was sitting on the bed in the house, although the courtyard was a little smaller, but the decoration was good. There were two maids standing next to Chen Yuanyuan, and these two maids were staring at Chen Yuanyuan all the time, afraid that Chen Yuanyuan would run away or commit suicide.

Chen Yuanyuan couldn't help but sigh that his life was bitter, but Chen Yuanyuan was not a very strong woman. Because it is recorded in history, Chen Yuanyuan first followed Chongzhen, although Chongzhen did not move her, and then followed Wu Sangui, and finally Chen Yuanyuan was robbed by Li Zicheng again, and then Wu Sangui was angry and invited Chen Yuanyuan back, it can be seen that Chen Yuanyuan is not a strong woman, otherwise she would have committed suicide when she was taken by Wu Sangui, even if she thought that it had nothing to do with Chongzhen and regarded Wu Sangui as her first husband, but then she should have committed suicide when she was robbed by Li Zicheng, but she still didn't.

Chen Yuanyuan just sighed at the bitterness of his life at this time, and did not think about finding a short-term view.
