Chapter 25: Subordinates

Xu Kang found that he was talking to this group of soldiers for nothing, it was completely playing the piano to the cow, it was better to take out the set of instructors during the original military training, the effect was simply a bargain!

After Zhao Hong, who was yelled at, went back, he also yelled at the tun chiefs under him, and the tun chiefs yelled at the ordinary pawns below, and then the efficiency came out.

Originally, Xu Kang estimated that it would take an hour to complete the work, but it was completed in less than half an hour.

Seeing that the soldiers had already packed up, Xu Kang didn't bother to do any lectures, so he got into the carriage directly, and then waved his hand at Zhao Hong, signaling that he could go.

After seeing his gesture, Zhao Hong immediately turned over and got on his horse, and then waved the spear in his hand.

"The man is determined to go out of the countryside, not to break the yellow scarf and not to return, why bury the bones, there are green mountains everywhere in the world, get on the horse, and set off!"

"No!"

Hearing his words, more than a dozen tun chiefs around him immediately agreed in unison, and then they got on their horses one after another and set off with their respective people.

After the army moved, Zhao Hong rode to Xu Kang's carriage and smiled a little shyly.

"Hehe, my lord, my subordinates think that your poem yesterday was very good, so I used it, and I hope your lord will forgive me!"

Xu Kang: "......"

Forgive your sister, you have used it all, what else can Lao Tzu say?

The great man's poems he borrowed were stolen by Zhao Hong in this way, although Xu Kang was a little unhappy, but he had no choice but to wave his hand at him with a look of disgust.

"Okay, you guys come with me, get into my carriage first, and tell me about the situation of this team, including the number of people and generals!"

"Yes, sir!"

Hearing Xu Kang's words, Zhao Hong immediately agreed, and then got into the carriage to explain to him.

"That's right, including me, there are a total of two Qu Junhou, and twenty tun chiefs......"

And with Zhao Hong's narration, Xu Kang also roughly understood the situation of his own army.

The army establishment of the Han Dynasty was based on the "tun" as the minimum unit, with 50 soldiers in a tun and a tun chief; Tun above is "Qu", a Qu is ten Tun, set up a Qu Junhou.

The top of the song is the Sima of the other department, also called "Jun Sima", but a few songs under the military Sima are not certain, eight or nine more, and one or two less.

And Xu Kang is undoubtedly the latter.

The army he led had a total of more than 1,000 people, and in addition to the labor of transporting grain, there were only two songs in the full battle.

Because he had known the situation for a long time, after listening to Zhao Hong's explanation, Xu Kang did not have any disappointment, and after thinking about it for a while, he opened his mouth again.

"It's not easy for a tun chief to manage fifty people, you tell the tun chiefs below, let them each choose five people from under their hands to be the squad leader, and one squad leader to manage ten people, and bring them to my big tent together after camping at night, do you hear?"

"Uh...... Monitor? ”

Hearing this, Zhao Hong was stunned at first, but then he remembered the scene of being yelled at before, so he quickly stood up straight, and then answered loudly.

"Yes, I heard you!"

Looking at his neutral appearance, Xu Kang immediately nodded with satisfaction.

"Well, that's right, okay, go and carry out the order, remember to tell the other marquis, what's his name?"

"Master Hui, his name is Zhang Cheng, I will tell him!" Zhao Hong replied respectfully.

"Well, that's fine, let's go!"

"Yes!"

After getting Xu Kang's order, Zhao Hong immediately agreed, and then got out of the carriage to carry out the order.

After he went down, Xu Kang lowered the curtains on both sides of the carriage, and then began to close his eyes and recuperate.

Maybe he was too focused, and he fell asleep when he was raised, and when he woke up again, it was already evening.

At this time, the soldiers had already begun to set up camp, some of them were setting up tents, and some were boiling water to prepare rice porridge for the evening.

Seeing Xu Kang get out of the carriage, everyone quickly stopped what they were doing and looked at him standing still, with curiosity and fear in their eyes, as well as a trace of excitement.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Xu Kang suddenly had some doubts.

"I don't think I've done anything to these soldiers, have I? Why do they all look at me like that? ”

And just when he was puzzled, he saw Zhao Hong walking towards him, and then bowed to him with a fist.

"My lord, the big tent has been set up, Zhang Junhou and the twenty tun chiefs, what else...... The squad leader has also arrived, waiting for the adults to send! ”

"Oh...... Good! ”

Hearing Zhao Hong's words, Xu Kang reacted, nodded immediately, and then waved his hand at the soldiers who were watching him, signaling what they should do, and then walked towards the big tent.

When he and Zhao Hong came to the big tent together, they found that there were already many people standing outside the tent, and at a cursory glance, there were more than 100 numbers.

Most of these people were wearing the armor of ordinary soldiers, and when they saw Xu Kang coming, they hurriedly bowed and saluted, looking quite restrained.

Seeing this scene, Xu Kang knew that these people should be the squad leaders he had elected.

So he immediately laughed.

"Haha, Xu is late, let everyone wait for a long time, the big tent is narrow, let's sit on the ground!"

With that, he took the lead and sat down cross-legged.

Seeing this scene, everyone look at me, I look at you, but no one moved, until Zhao Hong and the other one and Qu Junhou sat down, everyone sat down one after another, and then they all set their eyes on Xu Kang.

Thanks to his speech experience in school, Xu Kang has a tenacious heart, and under the gaze of hundreds of pairs of eyes, he was not timid at all, but laughed again.

"Haha, you don't have to be nervous, the main thing is to get acquainted with each other, because in the next few months or even longer, we are all people who trust each other's lives, how can we trust if we don't know each other? So let's all introduce ourselves, huh...... I'm your leader, so start with me! ”

With that, he immediately patted his chest.

"My name is Xu Kang, the word is De, a native of Yingchuan Changshe, and I am also the newly appointed Changshe County Commander, and at the same time temporarily acting as the military Sima, the ideal is to contribute to the country and drive the Yellow Turban thieves out of Changshe County, okay, I'm done, Zhao Hong, you come on!"

"Uh...... Be! ”

Hearing Xu Kang's words, Zhao Hong was stunned at first, then nodded hurriedly, and introduced himself as Xu Kang's template.

"My name is Zhao Hong, there is no word yet, Changshan is really a person, currently serving as the Marquis of Qu Army, the ideal is to contribute to the country, and follow the adults to drive the Yellow Turban thieves away, I'm done."

"Well, good!"

Seeing him behave, Xu Kang nodded suddenly, and then looked at the person next to him, "Next, Zhang Cheng." ”

"Yes!"

was named by Xu Kang, and Zhang Cheng, another Qujun Hou in addition to Zhao Hong, also began to introduce himself.

"My name is Zhang Cheng, Yingchuan Chen Liuren, and I am also the Marquis of Qu Jun, and my ideal is to serve the country and expel the traitors......"

With Xu Kang and the two Qu Junhou taking the lead, the others were also a lot less restrained and began to introduce themselves one after another.

As they made their introductions, Xu Kang listened just as carefully, trying to remember their respective faces and names.

It wasn't until everyone had introduced themselves that he spoke again.

"Okay, now that everyone has been introduced, we have a preliminary acquaintance, and the rest is mutual trust, and to do this, you need to be honest first, I am your leader, I will come first, you can ask me any questions, any question!"

"This ......"

Hearing Xu Kang's words, everyone present fell into confusion again, you look at me, I look at you, but no one asked.

Seeing this, Xu Kang had no choice but to name again.

"Zhao Hong, Zhang Cheng, starting with the two of you Qu Junhou, come and ask me questions, you must ask, you are not allowed to shirk, there is a reward for asking well, and there is no punishment for asking badly, let's start, Zhao Hong, you come first!"

"Uh...... Be! ”

Hearing Xu Kang call his name again, although Zhao Hong was a little helpless, he could only stand up stubbornly, and then arched his hand towards him.

"Then please forgive the last general for being rude, when I was in the adult's house before, the last general heard that the adult was a disciple of Cai Yilang, I don't know if this matter is true?"

As soon as Zhao Hong's question came out, Zhang Cheng and the others next to him also showed curious looks, obviously they were also interested in this question.

Seeing them like this, Xu Kang suddenly smiled slightly, and then nodded.

"It's true, but it's not all true, it's actually like this......"

Then, he said the words he had made up before to deal with Xu Fu and said it again to Zhao Hong and the others.

"I was very young when I met the teacher, and I didn't know the identity of the teacher, until the teacher was exiled by the traitors and eunuchs in the court, I didn't know that the teacher was the famous Cai Yilang!"

"Hiss......"

Hearing Xu Kang's admission, many people present showed a look of surprise, obviously they had also heard Cai Yong's name.

Especially Zhang Cheng, at this time, he stood up directly and arched his hand towards Xu Kang.

"No wonder the adult is so extraordinary at a young age, it turned out to be Cai Yilang's tall feet, but now that the ten permanent servants are powerful in the court, the adults admit their relationship with Cai Yilang like this, aren't they afraid of provoking the eunuch party to retaliate?"

"Hehe, of course it's false to say that you're not afraid, there is only one life, who wouldn't cherish it?"

Hearing Zhang Cheng's question, Xu Kang smiled slightly again, shaking his head while laughing.

"But because I am afraid of the eunuch party and does not recognize the teacher, I can't do it, and in order not to be harmed by the eunuch party, I can only temporarily make peace with them, keep a useful body, and wait for the teacher to come back again, I can become his right-hand man, and to do this, we must win the battle!"

With that, he stood up from the ground and arched his hand towards those present.

"Everyone, only by winning this battle, we can have a future, and the Han will have a future, so I also ask you brothers to help me defeat the Yellow Turban Thief together!"

"No!"

After hearing Xu Kang's words, the people present stood up one after another, and then saluted him with fists in unison.

"I am willing to die for the adults and defeat the Yellow Turban Thief together!"
