Chapter 74: Captain Yuan Yao
After Xu Chu showed his strong strength, he was appointed as a lieutenant by Yuan Shu on the spot and led an army alone, while Xu Chu's eldest brother Xu Ding was appointed as a military Sima and served as Xu Chu's deputy under Xu Chu.
Yuan Shu also discovered that although Xu Chu is super strong, it is not so easy to deal with some daily affairs, and Xu Ding can make up for Xu Chu's weakness. Xu Ding and Xu Chu are put together, that is the most suitable lineup.
Yuan Shu is now in the post of general, and the highest military attache position he can appoint is the captain, and the lieutenant general above the lieutenant belongs to the category of generals, and it is an official position of more than two thousand stones.
However, the position of captain is enough to reflect Yuan Shu's attention to Xu Chu, before Xu Chu, there were only two people under Yuan Shu's command who held the position of captain, that is, Ji Ling and Yu She, and Xu Chu was the third captain under Yuan Shu.
Although Yuan Yao called the generals under Yuan Shu's command all called generals, to be honest, except for Yuan Shu, who was a genuine general, the highest official position was only the position of captain, and it was not proper to call a general. But now that troubled times have arrived, some rules are not too important.
And after Xu Chu was appointed as a lieutenant and Xu Ding was appointed as a military commander, the two brothers Xu Ding and Xu Chu were very happy. They were originally worried that they would not be taken seriously under Yuan Shu, but now Yuan Shu has used his own behavior to tell Xu Ding and Xu Chu that he attaches great importance to talents.
Although Ji Ling was defeated in the hands of Xu Chu, it did not affect his status in Yuan Shu's heart. Although Xu Chu's strength is stronger than Ji Ling, Ji Ling has been following Yuan Shu for an unknown amount of time, he is loyal to Yuan Shu, and he is Yuan Yao's master, and Xu Chu is just a new member of Yuan Shu, no matter how strong his strength is, it is impossible to have a status comparable to Ji Ling.
And this time, Ji Ling was able to break through to the middle stage of the Condensation Gang Realm in the battle with Xu Chu, and he also had part of Xu Chu's credit in it, and Ji Ling and Xu Chu were both martial artists, there were not too many fancy intestines, and their minds were not too complicated. Therefore, although Ji Ling lost to Xu Chu, the relationship between the two is not too bad, of course, it is unrealistic to say that it is too good now.
After determining that Xu Ding and Xu Chu joined his command, Yuan Shu was the first to appoint official positions to Xu Ding and Xu Chu, and then took Xu Ding, Xu Chu, Yuan Yao, Yu She, and Yan Xiang to return to Pingyu, preparing to set up a banquet in Pingyu City to entertain Xu Ding and Xu Chu brothers, and also to celebrate Yu She, Yan Xiang, Yuan Yao and others, celebrating their great defeat of He Yi and He Man, recruiting Bian Xi, beheading He Yi, and capturing He Man.
On the way back to Pingyu City, Yuan Shu also called Yuan Yao to him and said, "Yao'er, this time you recommend Xu Ding." Brother Xu Chu is meritorious, what reward do you want? ”
Hearing Yuan Shu talk about the reward, Yuan Yao just remembered the three-pointed and two-edged knife that Ji Ling gave him, although it was not as good as the one in Ji Ling's hand, it was also a good weapon.
Yuan Yao still remembers that when he was in Luoyang City, he collected thousands of books from Dongguan and Cai Yong's mansion, and then Yuan Shu asked him what reward he wanted, and he said that he wanted a weapon to take advantage of. Although Yuan Shu fulfilled his promise and asked Ji Ling to give him a three-pointed two-edged knife, which made Yuan Yao really happy for a long time, but later Yuan Yao realized that the three-pointed two-edged knife he got was prepared by Yuan Shu and Ji Ling a long time ago, and it was ready to be given to himself when he broke through to the Iron Bone Realm.
And now Yuan Shu said that he was going to give himself another reward, so that Yuan Yao couldn't help but cheer up again, for fear that he would waste Yuan Shu's promise again.
Yuan Yao and Yuan Shu have been in contact for a long time, so they naturally know that Yuan Shu will not break his word, and Yuan Shu is a more honest person, he said that if there is a reward, there must be a reward, and that kind of hypocrisy rarely happens to Yuan Shu. Especially when it comes to yourself.
Therefore, Yuan Yao will not be polite to Yuan Shu, because between them, being too polite will affect the relationship between their father and son. After coming to this world for a few months, Yuan Yao also regarded Yuan Shu as his father.
frowned and thought for a long time, and finally, in Yuan Shu's expectant gaze, Yuan Shu said the reward he wanted: "Father, I want an official position." ”
"Official position?" Yuan Shu looked at Yuan Yao, frowned, and asked, "Yao'er, are you sure?" ”
Yuan Yao's eyes shone with a hint of luster, he looked at Yuan Shu with hope, and nodded fiercely: "Father, I'm sure." ”
Yuan Yao's gaze collided with Yuan Shu's gaze in the air, as if a string of sparks appeared, and finally, Yuan Shu smiled and said to Yuan Yao: "Okay, this is my son, I agree to give you an official position, in this way, this time you recommend Xu Chu to be meritorious, and I will appoint you as a captain." ”
"Captain?" Yuan Yao was obviously excited when he heard this: "Really, father? ”
Yuan Shu looked at Yuan Yao's appearance and said with a smile: "Naturally true, but I also have a condition, and you must agree to this condition, otherwise you don't want the official position of a school captain." ”
"On what terms?" Yuan Yao's eyes were blazing at this time. Now he can agree to whatever Yuan Shu's conditions are, because Yuan Shu actually wants him to be a captain, which is really unexpected and surprising.
"Although you are a lieutenant, I will only give you 3,000 people, that is to say, you have a maximum of 3,000 people, don't think about any more, and you have to figure out how to do it yourself, don't think about pulling people from me. Of course, the positions of the 3,000 people under your command are arranged by you, and you only need to report them when the time comes, do you understand? Yuan Shu looked at Yuan Yao and said with a smile.
"I understand."
"Then do you still have the position of lieutenant?"
"Of course, why not?"
Yuan Shu's condition is obviously to let Yuan Yao become self-reliant, but this difficulty makes him want to stump himself? It seems that his cheap father is underestimating himself.
Yuan Yao thought secretly in his heart.
Yuan Shu's purpose is very clear, that is, to let Yuan Yao retreat, because Yuan Yao is only a thirteen-year-old boy now, and it is really difficult for Yuan Yao to be responsible for the recruitment and training of a 3,000-strong army. However, Yuan Shu also wanted to see what Yuan Yao could do in such a situation.
