The state capital Yamen, the owner of the horse village and Huo Bao mentioned the two thousand soldiers and horses of Monk Feng.

"It's all the material of the vanguard, it's a pity to stay in the state capital to defend the city! But it's not easy to send to Hezhou now, you ask your father, what kind of placement is it? ”

This kind of thug is actually suitable for being a siege death squad.

But Monk Feng only came to vote, and let their old department be a death squad, which was suspected of weakening its power.

There are also ordinary siege battles, and it is also a waste to use these people.

If you still hit Yangzhou according to the original plan, you can't say that it will be used just right.

However, with the three disciples entering Chuzhou, it is difficult to say whether Yangzhou will fight or not.

When Huo Bao heard this, he knew that the owner of the horse village did not want to keep these people, so he allocated 1,000 recruits to the owner of the horse village, making up for the number of child soldiers allocated a few days ago.

Monk Feng had two thousand soldiers, and Huo Bao took over directly.

He left Hou Xiaoming behind and ordered: "This time I go to Hezhou, you stay behind, and the recruits have to practice, the most important thing is the two thousand old troops of Feng Ye...... According to our military training method, we must practice again and must achieve the order and prohibition...... As for the study of the scriptures, as long as it is not "Maitreya True Meaning", "Diamond Sutra" or "Dizang Sutra", follow them! ”

"Honorable Order!"

Hou Xiaoming immediately responded, and asked again: "Those twenty monks and soldiers?" ”

"Go outside and buy some serious Buddhist books, let them copy the scriptures well, and pray for the soldiers who go out!"

Huo Bao commanded casually.

If those people were like these soldiers under Monk Feng, Huo Bao would really think three points high.

It's just a daydreaming thing that only plays tricks, and it's gone.

……

The child soldiers are about to go out again.

Before leaving, Huo Bao gathered the leaders of the child soldiers.

He did not directly convene and announce the candidates for staying, but first assessed the merits of the battle of Dingyuan.

Hou Xiaoming, who is also the captain of the scout, was promoted to the capital division for meritorious service in the battle of Dingyuan, and stepped down as the captain of the scout.

Huo Bao, the captain of the thousand households and archers, was promoted to the capital division for meritorious service in the battle of Dingyuan, and stepped down as the captain of the archers.

Li Yuan, the deputy temporary acting auxiliary captain of Qianhu, was promoted to Qianhu for meritorious service in the battle of Dingyuan, and stepped down as the captain of the auxiliary army.

Zhu Gang, the captain of the song and the captain of the sword soldiers, was promoted to a deputy thousand households in the battle of Dingyuan.

Wu Yuan, the head of the hundred households and sword soldiers, was meritorious in the battle of Dingyuan, promoted to the head of the song, and was also the deputy captain of the sword soldiers.

Qiu Wei, the deputy captain of the scout, was meritorious in the battle of Dingyuan, promoted to the head of the song, and led the scout captain.

In addition, six people from 100 households were promoted to Qu Chang because of their military merits, and one of them was promoted to deputy captain of the archers because of their meritorious service in leading people to ambush the enemy.

Eleven tun chiefs were promoted to 100 households because of their military merits.

Thirty-two people were promoted to the head of the tun.

Fifty-seven chiefs were promoted to chiefs.

Ninety-eight people with white bodies were promoted to captains.

Huo Bao's other companion, Song Qianzhi, because of his military merits, hanged the first eleven people in this promotion, and was promoted to the rank of tun commander by three ranks.

In addition, there are three people from 100 households, five tun chiefs, four even chiefs, and seven Wu chiefs, who are either afraid of war or stealing merit in the war, and each has its own punishment.

After evaluating the merits, Huo Bao announced the candidates for staying behind this time.

Hou Xiaoming stayed behind, and the prime minister was in charge of the affairs of the child soldier camp.

Li Yuan stayed behind, and the prime minister staff and military affairs.

Those 300 staff officers must take another look.

Shi San was a white body, and he was also the head of the archers, and stayed behind with Hou Xiaoming and Li Yuan.

In addition, several leaders at all levels, such as Xinqu Chang and Xinbaihu, who were wounded in the battle of stability, were all drawn out and filled into the recruit camp according to their ranks, recuperating from their wounds and assisting in the training of recruits.

Except for these people, all the remaining leaders went on the expedition.

There is also Zhu Qiang, who temporarily led the captain of the auxiliary army as a white body and went out with the army.

……

Zhu Qiang is excited, even if he is white, as long as he works well with Bao Ye's side, there will always be a time to rise back.

Li Yuan was promoted all the way thanks to the credit of logistics.

There were several more songs at once, and he couldn't tell when he would be replaced, and he was also very nervous.

……

Shi San is lost, and the archers have a new vice-captain.

Huo Bao's bow captain has stepped down, and this deputy captain is doing the captain's business in the name of the deputy captain.

If there is no fault, this person will praise his qualifications and be the captain.

That was originally the position left to him by Bao Ye, but he lost it himself.

……

Liang Zhuang was nervous.

He stayed behind twice before and won the trust of Bao Ye.

Among the five captains, he ranked third after Hou Xiaoming and Huo Bao.

has no military merits, only with diligence in training, and has also risen all the way to Qu Chang, not too far from the original captains.

After that, it's hard to say.

……

Even those injured new Qu Chang and hundreds of households were also stunned.

Military merit promotion is the fastest.

This is one less conquest, and if you can't say it, you will fall behind.

Even the new leaders who followed the expedition were also vigilant.

Not to mention winning the battle, you have to protect yourself from injuries, otherwise it will delay things.

……

On the first day of September, Huo Bao, who returned to the Chuzhou state capital to rest for two days, led the troops out of the state capital again.

In addition to Shui Jin and General Yin and the five thousand soldiers under their command, there were also Xiuxiu's master servants and Mu Ying.

Mu Ying is the Dingyuan orphan who Huo Bao asked people to send back to the state capital before, and he is seven years old this year.

There are no female elders in the state capital, and there is no one to look after them.

Huo Bao took it to Binjiang and planned to hand it over to Aunt Huo Liu to raise on his behalf.

As for Xiuxiu, she also stayed with Aunt Huo Liu temporarily, and waited for Master Deng to cross the river to pick her up.

You can't let a ten-year-old child take a few foster mothers and maids to cross the river by himself.

……

Afraid that Xiuxiu would be bored, Huo Bao took Mu Ying into Xiuxiu's carriage.

Xiuxiu has seen Mu Ying.

When Mu Ying was sent back a few days ago, it was Xiuxiu's place of residence that Xiuxiu ordered someone to clean up.

Seeing that he was well-behaved and clever, Xiuxiu took a box of dried apricots and handed it over: "Huh! The carriage is bumpy, eat this and press it! ”

Mu Ying first looked at Huo Bao, and when he saw him nodding, he took it, and thanked him in a low voice: "Thank you, sister!" ”

Xiuxiu looked curious, leaned into Huo Bao's ear, and asked in a low voice, "Cousin...... Is this to adopt a son? ”

Huo Bao was drinking water with a water bladder, and when he heard this, he almost choked.

What are you raising?

He is thirteen, Mu Ying is seven years old, and the father and son are six years old?

"Then why did my cousin treat him differently?" Xiuxiu said in a small voice.

Huo Bao was dumbfounded.

Are you looking the other way?

Right!

Send it back to Chuzhou and take it to Binjiang!

Because he watched the evil deeds of the officers and soldiers coldly, which involved the tragic death of Old Man Mu?

Or is it because his surname is Mu, and his surname is the same as that of the king of Dongping County, who founded the country?

Dingyuan's orphan status, as well as the word "Ying", is similar to King Mu, Taizu's adopted son.

It is a pity that "Dream of Red Mansions" does not mention the name of Wang Shiwang of Dong'an County, but only describes the couplet of Jia Jia's Rongxi Hall, signed "The handwritten book of the king of Dong'an County".

"Fellow townsman's brother", it can't be said that King Mu is a native of Jinling.

At that time, there were also the sayings of ancestral home, original hometown, and current residence.

"Xun Xian", not "Gong Feng", shows that this Mu Ying is not the first king, but his descendant heir.

Rongxi Hall is the main hall of the Guogong Mansion, and the two generations of masters are Jia Yuan and Jia Daishan father and son.

For one of the two fathers and sons, most of the self-proclaimed "world disciples" are the second-generation heirs, and the third-generation heirs are not qualified.

"Perhaps, it's because I ran into it!" Huo Bao said softly.

Xiuxiu listened, nodded and said, "I know, my cousin is soft-hearted!" ”

That's why I will do my best to meet an orphan, for fear that there will be a place that I can't take care of.

My cousin is such a kind person!

Huo Bao looked at Mu Ying, saw him eating candied fruit in small bites, couldn't hide his panic, and said, "There are no female dependents here in Chuzhou, no one takes care of you...... Binjiang is my Huo family's hometown, and my cousin is in Binjiang, let her take care of you for a few years...... When you're as old as me, come back to the Wolf Warrior Camp......"

Mu Ying's eyes lit up: "Really? Can I still join the Wolf Warrior Camp? ”

After a few days in the state capital, he already knew that Huo Bao was the young master, and the wolf warrior battalion was his descendant of the soldiers and horses.

Losing his grandfather, who was dependent on him, he was far away from his hometown and went to a strange place, and he was already uneasy, and he changed places again, and he was very worried about discarding it.

"Really! So you grew up well in the past, and you were safe, don't let your grandfather go uneasy! ”

Mu Ying nodded vigorously, looking at Huo Bao's eyes full of trust.

……

I set off early in the morning and arrived at Binjiang in the evening.

Huo Bao directly ordered Zhu Gang and Liang Zhuang to take their soldiers to camp in the camp, and he greeted Huo Bao, and the two uncles and nephews took Xiuxiu and Mu Ying to Aunt Huo Liu.

Aunt Huo Liu happened to have dinner, and she was very happy to see Uncle Huo Bao's nephew coming.

When Xiuxiu's identity was known, the old man pulled Xiuxiu and didn't let go.

She hadn't thought of anything about the future hostess of the Huo family, she just thought that this was Xiaobao's future daughter-in-law.

"Joon! I match with Xiaobao! ”

Aunt Huo couldn't stop praising it.

After seeing the foal, Aunt Huo Liu was really worried, for fear that Huo Wu would be careless and find a daughter-in-law like that for Huo Bao, and there would be no place to reason if she was bullied.

Seeing the little girl Si Swenwen, Aunt Huo's heart was steady.

Xiuxiu was praised a little more shy, and hurriedly asked her adoptive mother to present a meeting gift: "I don't know what my aunt likes, I prepared a few horses, and asked my aunt not to dislike it." ”

Aunt Huo Liu's smile was even more joyful: "Auntie is old, where can I use this good material?" Go back and tear your clothes to wear! ”

It's not that she covets things, but seeing that Xiuxiu is young, she acts and speaks generously, she is a very decent and polite little girl, and she is happy for her nephew.

Xiuxiu hurriedly said: "They are all plain and dignified colors, specially filial piety to the aunt, and wearing them on the aunt to show our filial piety." ”

Huo Bao also said: "If you are filial to the sixth aunt, the sixth aunt will wear it, but don't be reluctant to use it, only leave the bottom of the box ......"

Aunt Huo nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, good!" That aunt is always not ashamed to wear this good material! ”

Niuniu and Sister Jin were beside them, looking at Xiuxiu curiously.

Seeing that a few people finished speaking, Niuniu pulled Huo Bao's sleeve: "Uncle Bao, do you want to call Niuniu a young sister and aunt?" ”

Huo Bao was embarrassed, and said busily: "Follow your brother leopard to call your cousin...... Our Huo family and the Deng family are relatives, and they are cousins......"

"Cousin!" Niuniu screamed crisply: "I'm Niuniu, Uncle Bao's niece!" ”

Xiuxiu had heard Huo Bao mention the cousins of the Huo family, and touched Niuniu's head: "Okay, Niuniu, your uncle always mentions you and praises you for being sensible!" ”

Niu Niu was praised and blushed.

Xiuxiu asked someone to give a table gift, two plain satin horses and a silver collar.

Niuniu saw Aunt Huo Nodding her head, so she lowered her head and answered: "Thank you, cousin!" ”

Xue Jin was beside him, but he was a little at a loss.

This is like the Huo family's confession, she is not the Huo family.
