In addition to the two elders Huo Wu and Xue Biao, the remaining younger generation, plus the law enforcement team and the scouts, are all on foot.

Even if I practiced for two months before, the seventy-mile road was not close, and half of it was a mountain road.

In the morning, everyone was full of energy, and in the afternoon, people began to fall behind.

The "law enforcement team" is all elite soldiers selected from the regular army, all of them are young and strong, and they can still persevere; The young and infirm of the Scouts were not good enough to do it, and they ended up in mule carts.

These people are basically "auxiliary soldiers", not only did they not rejoice in the car, but they showed shame and anxiety.

In the scouts, they are all "the strong go up and the weak go down", and the auxiliary soldiers are the end of the five armies.

"Brother Bao, what are your plans?" Shui Jin leaned over to Huo Bao's side and asked in a low voice.

"Plans? Let's continue to train Scouts. Huo Bao said.

Among these 93 people, excluding the 20 or so people who have been assigned to the "auxiliary forces", there are 70 people left, and Huo Bao intends to train according to the training of special forces in later generations.

"The people who were forcibly summoned by County Lieutenant Deng in the county seat before were all Dingkou, and there should be a lot of young Ding ...... in the city," Shui Jin whispered.

Huo Bao glanced at Shui Jin.

"You hold the Scouts, use this as an excuse to cage more people in your hands, don't be too sincere." Shui Jin said sincerely: "If County Lieutenant Deng doesn't allow it, you can think of a way from Miss Deng." ”

Hey? I didn't expect you to be such a water in!

Huo Bao watched in surprise as Shui Jin entered.

Shui Jin whispered: "There are many people in the morning, and the third brother is not good to tell you this directly, so let me tell you quietly." In short, you remember, the third brother will not harm you. ”

Huo Bao nodded, indicating that he was taught.

Even if the three disciples don't spread these words, Huo Bao also has a plan to expand the Scouts, otherwise he will not pull all the people to Quyang.

It's just the first time to arrive, and you have to wait for the opportunity.

At dusk, the group arrived outside Quyang City.

Whether it was the Scouts or the "Law Enforcement Team", they couldn't help but line up, not wanting to show their cowardice when they first appeared on the stage, and lost Huo Wu's father and son.

At the gate of the county seat, there are still a few city gate soldiers guarding the door, and it looks like they are letting people out of the city, and there are many interrogations about people who enter the city.

Seeing that the large team was coming, someone came up, recognized Huo Wu's father and son, and hurriedly said, "The county lieutenant has already ordered people to wait." ”

Huo Bao pointed to the gate of the city: "Why are people allowed to leave the city?" ”

The man grinned and said, "The county lieutenant has long disliked the fact that there are too many people in the city. ”

Huo Bao understood that the previous ban on people going out of the city was to hide the news of the seizure of the county, but now that he is backed by the white-shirted army, he is not afraid of people leaking the news.

Because they brought more than 200 soldiers, the group did not go to the Sifang Building, and went directly to the county barracks.

Deng Jian got the news and was already waiting.

When everyone saw each other, Deng Jian only left Huo Wu's father and son, and sent the others down, without the slightest intention of getting close to him.

Compared with the politeness of the previous days, it is too impersonal now.

Xue Biao, Shui Jin, Ma Juzi and others looked at each other, but they didn't dare to be tough, and went down obediently.

Only Huo Bao looked at Huo Bao and saw him nodding, so he lowered his head and left.

In the barracks, a whole roast sheep, a plate of braised elbows, a roast chicken, and a smoked fish were all prepared.

Huo Wu was not polite, sat down with a big grin, and directly pushed a plate of elbows to his son.

Huo Bao was hungry for a long time, and when the two elders moved their chopsticks, they began to eat.

"Cousin, I salute you!" Deng Jian picked up the wine cup.

Huo Wu glanced at him, took the wine cup and touched him, and said, "What kind of charter are you, you should also talk about it?" How to pick people, which ones to keep, and which ones to give, but you have a decision? ”

"What does my cousin suggest?" Deng Jian asked rhetorically.

Huo Wu rolled his eyes: "Your manpower, you know the most, and you can use the advice of others?" ”

"Among the 8,000 people left, there are also people that my cousin wants to take to Binjiang."

"The young come first, the homeless people come first, then the people of the county, and finally the people of the state...... Even if you are from this county, it is easier to make it for a single family. Huo Wu groaned slightly and said.

Deng Jian raised the wine cup again: "Thank you, cousin, for teaching me!" Binjiang, how many people does my cousin plan to bring? ”

"2,000 people are enough, and then another 1,000 will be recruited from Binjiang, and we can't do without locals."

"Two thousand is less, three thousand!"

The bottom line in Deng Jian's heart is four thousand, and he feels that the best distribution is three thousand.

"Not a few...... It's just a backhand over there, and it's idle when there are more garrisons on weekdays. But you are here, close to the state capital, and I don't know how to do it when the time comes, more people are stable, and the province is underestimated. There are several marshals in Bozhou, but they are all known as tens of thousands of horses. ”

Huo Bao listened to the two while eating, and sighed in his heart that the ancients attached great importance to blood kinship.

Just because they are connected by blood, the two are natural allies, and they are less alienated and wary of each other.

Deng Jian in front of him is like this, the apprentices in the Black Python Mountain are like this, and so are the tiger and leopard brothers who followed their father and son down the mountain.

Daddy of his own?

Not ordinary people.

Huo Bao dared to guarantee that his father did not take blood kinship seriously in his heart, otherwise he would not have fooled Huo Bao casually.

In Dad's heart, the weight of Ma Zhai Master and Du Laoba is estimated to be heavier than that of Disciple San and Deng Jian.

Huo Wu insisted on 2,000 people, Deng Jian didn't persuade again, just thought about it, and said: "Everything else is okay, young people have to leave a name...... Speaking of this, he glanced at Huo Bao, who ate an elbow and a leg of mutton: "I see that the scouts around Xiaobao are well trained, and they look good...... Or let Xiaobao pick someone first! To expand the Scouts, you can pick up the young, and the sixteen or seventeen-year-olds will follow Xiaobao for a few years, and they will also be used in the future. ”

"This ......" Huo Wu groaned a little: "Wouldn't it be too reckless?" In the end, he is a junior, where can he pick people first? ”

"The third brother doesn't count, Xiaobao will stay in Quyang in the future, and there will be more people around him, so everyone can rest assured."

Huo Bao put down his chopsticks, and his face showed a little expectation.

As early as when his father mentioned that "the young come first", he was moved in his heart, and sure enough, it fell on him in the end.

It was Deng Jian himself, who didn't understand Huo Wu's selfishness, but was just happy to push the boat.

Huo Bao is in Quyang, and the people who stay by Huo Bao's side are the people of Quyang County.

"You can pick a thousand people!" Deng Jian is very generous.

*

In the barracks next door, meals were also served.

Two meat and two vegetables, both are large bowls, and the portions are full.

The meat is pork boiled cabbage, the small river shrimp boiled tofu, and the vegetarian is cold bean sprouts and cold shredded radish.

Compared with the banquet noodles last time, this time it is obviously a big pot dish.

Xue Biao, Shui Jin, Ma Juzi, Haw Par Brothers, Niu Qing, Lin Jin, and Xue Xiao sat in groups, except for Huo Hu, who was chaotic and ignorant, and the food was fragrant, and everyone else couldn't swallow it.

What is Downhill?

This is the dismount in front of you!

Deng Jian's meaning shows that the alliance is just an alliance, and there is no preferential treatment for the children of Black Python Mountain, is this to prevent everyone from interfering in the government of Quyang County?

In the past, everyone was either angry or gloating about the "hostage" of Huo Wu's father and son, but now they understand what "hostage" is.

Deng Jian treated everyone like this, and he didn't care about the face of the Huo family's father and son, so it can be seen that he didn't treat the father and son as relatives at all.

This Qu Yang is not easy to treat than imagined.

Huo Bao came back with a frown, he couldn't help eating for a while, and he didn't get rid of the greasy after drinking two cups of strong tea. I can't be greedy next time, but the braised elbow is soft and fat, and the roast mutton is also tender, which really relieves my cravings.

Seeing him come back, except for Xue Biao, everyone else got up.

"Where's the fifth uncle?" Ma Juzi saw Huo Bao alone and asked.

"I was dragged to school by my cousin."

Whether it is the county seat or the mountains, there is a shortage of materials now, so it is rare to have all the dishes of meat.

This meal, not only Huo Bao supported it, but Deng Jian and Huo Wu also ate less, and the master ate four plates of meat and vegetables. The two of them ate and drank again, and when they were interested, they went to the school to eat.

The room was silent.

Everyone has heard the details of Deng Jian's confession before and after, and they know that he is the same as Huo Bao, he has great strength and uses heavy hammers as weapons.

This Laho Wu went to the school field to deter?

Huo Bao saw that everyone was silent, and after looking at the table, he couldn't take his eyes off it, and swallowed and spit.

Ahh

So nutritious!

The bean sprouts look crisp and raw, and the shredded radish is also refreshing, these two are the standard for big meat!

In the eyes of others, I think too much.

"Uncle Bao, come and eat!" Huo Bao gave up his seat.

Huo Bao smiled bitterly: "It's full!" I don't know if we have good food here, or we should keep our stomachs. ”

It's all up to my throat, and I'll have to spit it out if I take another bite.

The crowd was silent again.

Is this a single pull of the father and son to drink bean porridge?

This is also a dismount, right?
