With strict military law, Zhao Yi's army in Fanyang County has changed from its decadent appearance in the past and has become much more regular. In the past few days, Zhao Yifu's military camp has been running at both ends, taking care of corn and training troops.

A day ago, news came from Tanma that Liu Bei and Zou Jing led 5,000 soldiers to Qingzhou. Liu Bei also wrote a letter to Zhao Yi and asked Zhao Yi to help take care of the safety of Anxi County.

Fighting with more than 50,000 people of the Yellow Turban Army, I am afraid that I will not be able to come back for a while and a half, but Chengyu Wenke, the county of Anxi County, came here today and brought some food. In order to win over Zhao Yi, during the period when Liu Bei did not come back, if something happened in Anxi County, I hope Zhao Yi can take a step to support him.

Zhao Yi naturally agreed, at this time, the Yellow Turban Army active in Youzhou has been annihilated, and even if there are those who escape, they are just some stragglers. Dealing with these people, Zhao Yi is naturally not afraid.

On this day, Zhou Ping came back from Changshan and handed over the gold and silver sold to Zhao Yi, congratulating Zhao Yi: "The villain heard in Changshan that the adults used clever tricks to annihilate the Yellow Turban, which is really gratifying." "Naturally, these traders want the world to be peaceful, because business is not easy to do in troubled times.

"Mr. has an overreputation, I asked Mr. to help contact the friend, has Mr. contacted him?" Zhao Yi asked Zhou Ping.

"There are two people who are selling goods in other places at this time, and I have only contacted one person, but don't worry. They are absolutely willing to cooperate with adults. "It is very difficult for traders in this troubled world, and if they can cooperate with the army, they naturally do not want to cooperate with those escorts. Although the escort team looks majestic, it makes people feel unsure.

Zhao Yi knew that he couldn't send all the troops out at once, it was a gradual process. "Okay, there is Mr. Lao Zhou, you can bring your friends over, and we will talk about cooperation."

Zhou Ping nodded in agreement, but asked Zhao Yi again, will he hand over the pure dew business to that person, right? Although Zhou Ping and that man are good friends, they are businessmen who are very profitable. In the face of absolute interests, they will even kill their brother and father, let alone their own good friend.

"Mr. Zhou, don't be suspicious, if I hand over the hydrosol business to that person, won't it impact my own market?" Zhao Yi comforted Zhou Ping.

Only then did Zhou Ping put his mind at ease, asked Zhao Yi to wait for a while, and brought his friend in.

This person's name is Chen Ming, and he is also a well-known businessman in Fanyang County, but he has been out of town for the past few months and has not seen Zhao Yi yet. He didn't expect that the great hero who annihilated the Yellow Turban Army, which was rumored by word of mouth in the neighborhood, would be so young.

Zhou Ping, as an intermediary, introduced the two and said that Chen Ming was in the grain business. Hearing the word grain, Zhao Yi glanced at Chen Ming twice, and secretly said that this person can be wooed, if he is unlucky, he can use this person to hoard grain and grass.

Chen Ming bowed his hand: "Although the villain has never seen an adult, the name of the adult has long been like thunder. A few days ago, I heard Zhou Ping say that the adults were interested in cooperating with the caravan, and the villain was very interested, so he came to take a look. Chen Ming didn't say anything to death, just said to take a look. If Zhao Yi's conditions are too harsh, Chen Ming will turn around and leave.

Zhao Yi could naturally hear the meaning of Chen Ming's words, and asked directly: "How many guards does Mr. need for lucky food?" ”

"Now that the situation is turbulent, grain and grass are in high demand, which will naturally attract prying eyes from all sides. There were not only bandits, but also some ruffians, so I asked for 500 guards each time. Chen Ming talked about his business overview. Even if it was 500 guards, but the caravan was robbed several times. "Some responsible guards are okay with the rogues, but they are completely incapable of dealing with soldiers in uniform.

In Chen Ming's words, those ruffians are more bandits than bandits.

Zhao Yi nodded: "I can send five hundred soldiers to protect Mr.'s food security, you can say that you purchased military food for me." With this identity, those soldiers and ruffians will also be afraid. ”

Chen Ming's eyes lit up, if there was really the protection of the government, the grain would be almost foolproof. Chen Ming immediately restrained the joy on his face, and asked Zhao Yi cautiously: "If the adults are willing to help, the villains will be grateful." But the villain still wants to ask the adult, what are the conditions? "Give more money to buy a peace Chen Ming doesn't care, what he is afraid of is Zhao Yi's own profits.

Zhao Yi thought for a moment: "Sir, don't worry, I won't share your grain profits, and the money I ask for will not be more than the escort you invited." ”

These words reassured Chen Ming: "If this is the case, I am willing to cooperate with adults." And Chen Ming said that he was going to Xuzhou in a few days, and hoped that Zhao Yi could select the soldiers as soon as possible.

"Sir is really a cheerful person, I'm going to help Mr. select people." Zhao Yi got up and just walked out of the door, turned his head and asked Chen Ming, "Mr. is in the grain business, does he take care of the rice?" ”

I thought that Zhao Yi turned around and remembered some conditions, but it turned out that it was just this matter, and Chen Ming agreed at the moment: "This is natural, in addition to giving some money to the escort we invited, we are also in charge of eating and drinking." It's just that the meal is a little simpler, and I don't know if the adults and soldiers can get used to it. ”

"Most of the soldiers are from common people, and they are not particular about food." Zhao Yi smiled and asked the two of them to go back and wait for the news first, while he turned over and ran to the barracks.

Zhao Yi discussed this matter of guarding the caravan with Dian Wei and Liao Hua after returning from Changshan, and felt that this plan was feasible, but there were not many soldiers at that time, and they only studied it a little, and they were not ready to put it into action.

"My lord, the last general really admires you for coming up with such an idea, which not only reduces the supply of military rations, but also trains the soldiers' combat ability, which is really a double win." Dian Wei was full of praise for this plan, and I am afraid that only his own adults in the world can come up with such a brilliant idea. It's wonderful to have a caravan to help feed your army.

"This is the first time we have worked together, so it's important to be foolproof." Zhao Yi groped his chin, "In this way, one hundred and fifty people will be selected from the heavy armor army, and the remaining three hundred and fifty people will be selected to participate in the selection of soldiers with excellent military quality." ”

Dian Wei and Liao Hua kept nodding, and Dian Wei proposed to publicize this matter in the army to prepare for the future.

Zhao Yi already had a plan in his heart, and asked Dian Wei to call all the troops to gather. This time the matter of guarding, Zhao Yi said very simply in front of the army, especially the sentence, the reward of one month, can enter the Qinglou three times. This made these soldiers cheer, and if it weren't for the fear of committing the crime of deceiving the king, they would even shout the phrase "Long live the adult".

Out of 6,000 people, 500 are chosen, and 1 out of 12 is unlikely. The soldiers all scrambled to the point of a big fight. Previously, Dian Wei and Liao Hua were worried that the soldiers were not interested in this kind of escort task, but they didn't expect Zhao Yi to say a few words, and it would become like this.

Dian Wei smiled bitterly: "My lord said that money can make ghosts grind." This sentence is really a wise saying. ”

Zhao Yi waved his hand to suppress this restlessness: "Don't fight, there will be many caravans we will cooperate with in the future." We take turns doing this kind of task, and everyone has the opportunity. ”

Hearing this, the soldier's restless mood stabilized.

The candidate has been decided, and Zhao Yi asked Liao Hua to lead these soldiers on a mission.

Chen Ming looked at these fierce soldiers in front of him, his face was full of joy, and the escort team paid attention to momentum. But the army is not only about momentum, but also about temperament. Moreover, there are generals accompanying him, and Chen Ming can also see that Zhao Yi attaches great importance to this escort mission.

In the past two days, Chen Ming and Zhou Ping were sent away, and 700 soldiers in his hands were also sent away.

The two caravans used more than 700 people, so that Zhao Yi, who was worried about the supply of grain and grass because of too many soldiers, felt that there seemed to be fewer soldiers in the barracks for the first time.

These days, Zhao Yi often helps Dian Wei train soldiers in the military camp, just lying in the courtyard and basking in the sun, and living a good and uncomfortable life. On this day, Zhao Yi was tending to the corn and pulling out the weeds that had just emerged on the ground. Cheng Yin came over to report: "My lord, the county guard led 3,000 soldiers and escorted 10,000 stones of grain and grass to the city gate. ”

Zhao Yi threw the weeds on the ground and clapped his hands, and walked outside, saying in his heart that the Yellow Turban army had been wiped out at this time, even if it was prudent, it would not take three thousand soldiers and horses to escort the grain and grass, could it be that Guo Xun had other intentions?

Guo Xun led the army into Fanyang County, arrogant and arrogant, Zhao Yi bowed and saluted, and asked Guo Xun what was the matter.

Guo Xun took out a piece of cloth from his arms, handed it to Zhao Yi, and motioned Zhao Yi to open it.

It was a distress letter written by Lu Zhi to Liu Yan, which said that Zhang Jiao's thief soldiers were 150,000, and Lu Zhi's army of 50,000 was fighting in Guangzong. The soldiers suffered heavy casualties in one after another, and begged Liu Yan to send troops to support.

Zhao Yi shook the cloth and asked, "My lord, what does this mean?" This is a distress letter written by General Lu to Lord Taishou, and it should be handed over to Lord Taishou, why should it be handed over to me? ”

Guo Xun's smiling face narrowed slightly, and he shook his head slightly: "Bolai is extremely smart, can't you guess Taishou's intentions." This rescue letter is in your hands, and naturally this matter is also in your hands. From this day forward, all these three thousand soldiers will be under your command. If you are too guarded, you will send troops to Guangzong on the same day. After Guo Xun said this loudly, he immediately whispered two words in Zhao Yi's ear: "This is a great opportunity to make contributions, how much Taishou trusts you, Liu Bei went to Qingzhou to support, and also sent a military captain." Not only did you not send a supervising army to lead the army, but you also handed over the command of the army to you, so you have to seize the opportunity. ”

Seizing the opportunity? Is there a chance to die? Zhao Yi rolled his eyes. Different from the last time, this time it was Taishou who personally ordered the general, just as the so-called official level crushed people to death, Liu Yan's order, Zhao Yi has to listen to it at present.

had to bow down to receive the order, Guo Xun completed the task and left here. Zhao Yi had to first organize the three thousand soldiers into his own team: "I don't care what you do in Taishou, when you enter my barracks, you have to do things according to my rules." I would like to remind you that military law in our army is strict, and I hope you will not defy the law. ”

These soldiers were handed over to Dian Wei for training, and Zhao Yi returned to the palace to prepare his bags. Cheng Yin walked in a little worried, after all, there were 150,000 people in the Yellow Turban Thieves: "My lord, how many people do you plan to bring?" ”
