Of course Chen Da Niu is not a thing, after he said this, Cai Cong smiled so reluctantly, he didn't expect that there would be such a naïve person, but he could only smile and ask Fang Niu to arrange a position for him, turned around and walked into the barracks.

As soon as he left, Fang Niu, these old men in the army, surrounded Chen Da Niu with a cruel smile, and looked at him like a fool.

"Squat down with your head in your hands, let's give us a beating, otherwise the old men will feel uncomfortable."

"Why?" Hanren has his own temper, and when he heard that he was going to beat him, he immediately stared at the bull's eye and asked, which frightened everyone's hearts for a while.

"You squat down first, and I'll tell you when I'm done." Fang Niu held back his fear and said stiffly.

"Oh!"

When Chen Daniu heard him say this, he let out an oh sound, squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, and beat them honestly.

Everyone punched and kicked him in a measured manner, and he was out of breath before he was allowed to stand up. At this moment, he had been beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, and he looked embarrassed.

"Can you tell me why you hit me now?"

Seeing that Fang Niu was leaving, he hurriedly grabbed Fang Niu's urn and asked angrily.

"Why? Do you know how blessed it is to be a personal guard for Hou Ye? Hou Ye had three personal guards before, and now one is Luoyang Don't drive, do you know how big a pipe it is? is Luoyang City, he ranks second. Do you know what identity the other two are? It is the second and third in command of our new army. How many people begged to be a guard for Hou Ye, but you didn't want it, you said that you should be beaten or not. ”

Chen Daniu's ruined intestines were all green, he slapped himself twice, and hurriedly asked: "My lord, can you tell Master Hou that I am willing to be a guard for him, okay if you give me a chance?" ”

"Let's go, go and be your captain, do you really think that Hou Ye's guard is so good? If you don't say it, you can't say it, and if you want it, you want it? Fang Niu said angrily, he himself was stupid enough, he didn't expect that there was an even more stupid one, isn't the name of the cow shrewd?

Chen Daniu was about to cry, and was led to the pioneer camp to select his men. Fang Niu felt that he had regained face for Cai Cong, and ran triumphantly to invite credit, and the angry Cai Cong kicked him in the ass, this guy will do bad things. However, he still asked him to go and find out the details of Chen Daniu, after all, people of unknown origin could not be relieved if they were placed by their side.

Fang Niu went out, and Cheng Chuliang and they rushed in, standing one by one, playing together on weekdays, but now they are eating under the hands of others, this kind of change is really unaccustomed.

"Ahem, it's all here, then sit down! Afraid I'll eat you? Cai Cong looked at one or two stupid looks, and couldn't help but smile and said.

Everyone hurriedly found their own places to sit down, straightened their waists, put their hands on their knees, and remained motionless like a good student.

"It's actually nothing important to call you here, just to tell you, I am very unhappy that your family will throw you to me this time, except for Cheng Chuliang and a few of them, no one else has ever fought, and you are not as good as a soldier on the battlefield.

Of course, I also know that you have some veterans in your family, but I want you to remember that since you are here, what kind of position is it, and if anyone dares to bring the style of the son and brother at home to the barracks, then don't blame the ruthlessness of military law. For specific details, you can ask Zhu Liang and those veterans, lest they be pushed out and beheaded when they get it, and they don't know how to die. ”

"Yes!"

Everyone got up and said yes, some people were already retreating, they were originally thinking of coming to gild, all pointing to the old people in the family to make meritorious contributions to them, and now when they say so, what are they willing to go to the battlefield?

"Master Hou, I have asked to be transferred to the pioneer camp."

Wei Shuyu stepped forward and shouted loudly, Cai Cong looked over in surprise, but saw that his face was resolute, and there was no longer the usual cynicism.

"That's it! You are allowed to enter the pioneer camp to earn that military merit, you Lao Tzu wiped his face and found such an opportunity for you, if you can't get ahead, then I'm sorry for his hard work. ”

Cai Cong thought about it and said, Wei Shuyu's eyes were red, he gave a military salute to Cai Cong, turned around and went out. The others also gave a military salute and withdrew.

Cai Cong breathed a sigh of relief, there are few reliable young master soldiers in this group, if he can, he really doesn't want to take this group of people to the field, but if he doesn't bring it, in such a big battle, if he doesn't share some soup, I'm afraid that he will be hacked.

A few days later, people from the vicinity of Chang'an also came, and there were more people at this time, and it was not too much to say that there were crowds, and some capable people also came up at this time.

When the others came up, there was a Zhonglang general who was sad, Su Lie was implicated by Li Jing since he broke through Jieli's tent, and was falsely accused of embezzling the treasures in Jieli's tent, and he refused to admit his guilt when he was summoned by Dali Temple several times, resulting in him now being guilty, and even having no money, and the family is extremely poor.

He was thinking about whether to ask to see Cai Cong and ask for an official and a half-position in the navy, but when he was fighting Jieli, he offended Cai Cong verbally, and he was afraid that he would not only not get an official position, but would be ridiculed, and he was extremely entangled for a while.

"Xianggong, why bother now, now that the family is embarrassed to this point, no one in the officialdom asks, what if you go and be ridiculed by the Marquis of Chang'an? Falling into the mud and being trampled on again is just a few footprints, if you talk decently and let the Hou Ye look sideways, then it can be regarded as Pinjitai. ”

"What the lady said is that I think about my husband, how much money is left at home, I will buy some gifts." Su Dingfang said bitterly, the dignified Zhonglang General's home was actually empty, which really made him embarrassed.

"Wait a while, and the concubine will go and get it." His wife smiled reluctantly, and after a while, she walked out with a box, Su Dingfang only glanced at it, and then blurred her vision, it was his wife's dowry!

"There are no more than ten taels of silver left at home, and you can't give gifts to Master Hou. The dowry of the concubine should be worth some money, so take it and pawn it for some money to buy a gift! Then his wife put the box in his hand, and took out the money bag from her sleeve, and took a dime of silver and ten copper coins, and put the money bag on the box, and smiled sweetly at him.

"If you can't get ahead in this life, you won't be able to see your mother." Su Dingfang's wife is also the daughter of a small rich family, when she was at home, she stretched out her hand to eat and opened her mouth, and now she has never complained about eating bran with him, so how can he not be moved?

When he came out of the pawn shop with the empty box, his heart was empty, his wife's dowry was exchanged for a hundred taels of silver, and he left quickly, afraid that he would not be able to regret going in and returning it.

After walking around the East Market for a few times and finally bought a gift, he walked around outside Cai's Mansion for a long time with the box, but he didn't dare to go over, seeing that it was getting dark, he could only sigh and return home.

His wife didn't ask what was going on, but waited for him to eat supper and bathe him, so that he could relieve the fatigue of the day. In the face of such a virtuous wife, he hated his cowardice even more, and went out before dawn the next day and knocked on the door of Cai Cong's house in one go.
