『PS: Ask for Recommendation Vote~』

———— the following text————

That night, after Master Zhao's father fell asleep, Meng Zhong and Le Yi sat on the ground under the lamppost in the hall and discussed the matter carefully under the oil lamp.

But in the end, the two of them decided to stay with Lord Zhao's father and train new guards for the latter, so that they could obtain military positions.

The reason is very simple, because Gongzi Zhang's leadership also has generals who can fight well, and Tian Buyu gives advice to him, there is no shortage of them at all, if they defect to Gongzi Zhang, although they can be reused and obtain military power, but on the whole, it is not much help to Gongzi Zhang.

On the other hand, if they stay with Master Zhao's father to train a new army for him, Meng Zhong and the others can give Gongzi Zhang an additional army - although the number of this army is not very large, but it is better to win this army as Lord Zhao's guard, its status is special, and the soldiers and equipment will inevitably be excellent, and the most important thing is that this army can enter and leave Handan, and it is likely to play a key role when necessary.

The next day, after waiting for Lord Zhao's father to get up, Meng Zhong told the former of his decision.

Master Zhao didn't seem surprised that Meng Zhong had made the decision to "sacrifice the near and seek the far", he smiled and said to Meng Zhong: "Meng Zhong, it is not an easy task to reorganize a new army for me, Zhao Bao, Zhao Zao, Zhao Jun and others may do everything possible to obstruct you...... Like this, do you still have to hold on? ”

Hearing this, Meng Zhong said calmly: "This is the choice I made after discussing with Le Yi for a night. ”

Hearing this, Master Zhao looked at Meng Zhong and Le Yi, and immediately nodded and said, "Have courage!" …… What do you need me to help you with? ”

Meng Zhong thought for a moment and said, "I have heard that even military sages like Sun Wu and Wu Qi are not trusted by their soldiers when they are unknown, and they need to make an example and establish prestige when necessary, and I hope that Master Zhao can also give me that kind of power." ”

"This is natural." Master Zhao nodded, he had been fighting horses for half his life, how could he not know this kind of thing.

"Secondly, please ask Master Zhao to reward me with a box of wealth." Meng Zhong said again.

Hearing this, Master Zhao took a deep look at Meng Zhong a few times.

Based on his understanding of Meng Zhong, the latter was not a person who valued money at all, so it was obvious that most of the wealth that the latter asked for was to buy the hearts of the soldiers.

It's just that the soldiers who can be bought with wealth are really trustworthy?

Master Zhao was very skeptical about this.

But looking at Meng Zhong's confident appearance, he didn't refuse, and asked, "How much do you want?" ”

Meng Zhong thought for a while and said, "Please at least five thousand cloths." ”

The so-called 5,000 cloth coins, that is, 5,000 cloth coins, remember that Meng Zhong's mother was frugal and only saved more than 30 Song cloth coins, which shows that 5,000 cloth coins are already a lot of money.

But for Master Zhao, this is nothing.

"Yes." He nodded and complied with Meng Zhong's request.

After Master Zhao's father nodded, the matter of "training the new army" was handed over to Meng Zhong.

I have to say that this carte blanche delivery is really thorough, because looking at the attitude of Master Zhao's father, he doesn't intend to give Meng Zhong other help at all, which means that Meng Zhong must find a way to get soldiers by himself, either recruit civilians to train them as soldiers, or find a way to transfer soldiers from other armies, no matter what, he needs to find his own way.

In the afternoon of the same day, Meng Zhong visited Zhao Xiangfeiyi and told the latter about it.

After all, to recreate an army, there must first be a special talisman, and this kind of talisman can only be recognized by the monarch of a country - although the power of Zhao Wang He may not be able to catch up with Zhao's father, but Zhao Wang He is the monarch of Zhao after all.

"Master Father wants to train a new army as a guard? Why? ”

When Fei Yi learned about this, he asked with a frown.

In this regard, Meng Zhong did not explain, and pushed everything on Master Zhao: "Why, I don't know, Zhao Xiang might as well ask Master Zhao on his own." ”

Hearing this, Fei Yi frowned and thought for a moment, and asked, "New Army...... How many people? ”

Meng Zhong thought for a moment and replied, "Five hundred." ”

Hearing this, Fei Yi frowned and suddenly relaxed, after all, five hundred people are really nothing.

He nodded and said, "This matter is easy, I wonder if the master father has named the new army?" If so, please tell the old man, and the old man ordered someone to engrave it on the talisman. ”

Meng Zhong thought for a while and said, "Master Zhao's father stays in Xindu, so it's better to call it "Xinwei". ”

"Shin Wei?" Fei Yi stroked his beard and pondered for a while, feeling that this name was good and had a lot of meaning, but he couldn't help but ask: "Don't you need to ask the master father about the naming?" ”

Meng Zhong replied with a smile: "Master Zhao once said when he handed over this matter to me, telling me to take care of it myself, if I go to ask Master Zhao three times or twice, maybe it will make Master Zhao feel that he is not a person." ”

Fei Yi nodded slightly, and said to Meng Zhong: "After Xiaoyou is here, Old Man Rong will personally present this matter to the king, and then ask the craftsman to carve a talisman." ”

"There is Lao Zhaoxiang."

Subsequently, Meng Zhong waited in Feiyi's prime minister's mansion, and Feiyi went to the palace in person to make this matter known to Zhao Wanghe.

Of course, Zhao Wang He would not make Zhao's master unhappy for the sake of a mere five hundred guards, so he immediately agreed to the matter and instructed the craftsmen to make military talismans.

In about a day's work, Meng Zhong got two new pairs of talismans, one cast in bronze and the other carved from jade, both of which were tiger-shaped talismans, which could be divided into two pieces, left and right, and the date on which the tiger talisman was made and the army to which it belonged were engraved on the left and right sides; If the left and right pieces are fitted, you can clearly see the word "Xinwei" from the "tiger's back".

I have to say that the workmanship is very exquisite.

Meng Zhong handed over the two pairs of talismans to Master Zhao's father.

"Xinwei? That's a good name. ”

Master Zhao nodded in approval, and immediately, put away the jade carved talisman, and returned the bronze talisman to Meng Zhong.

According to the rules, Meng Zhong can only keep the right piece of the bronze tiger talisman on weekdays, and the left piece is also kept by the monarch, and only when performing tasks, it is allowed to keep two tiger talismans at the same time - for example, at this moment, Meng Zhong was ordered to create a new army.

As for the other pair of jade tiger talismans, it is for "prevention", it is generally controlled by the monarch, and it is not easy to show, and may never appear, only when the general holding the "bronze tiger talisman" rebels or does not obey the king's orders, the monarch will send someone else to replace the former with a jade tiger talisman.

Seeing Meng Zhong take the whole piece of tiger talisman into his arms, Master Zhao asked with a smile, "How are you going to create this ...... Xinwei? Are the civilians of Handan recruited for training? ”

"That's too slow." Meng Zhong shook his head and said, "I am going to draw sharp soldiers from the armies in Handan. ”

As soon as he heard this, Master Zhao's father was immediately happy.

You must know that the armies stationed in Handan, the military power is either in the hands of the Zhao family led by Zhao Cheng of Anpingjun and Zhao Bao of Yangwenjun, or in the hands of the doctors of Zhuqing headed by Li Dui, Fengyangjun, and now Meng Zhong has actually hit these people with his idea, and even Lord Zhao's father admires the courage of this son.

"Just do it."

Master Zhao said with a smile.

He was looking forward to what Meng Zhong could go.

After bidding farewell to Zhao's father, Meng Zhong visited Zhao Xiangfeiyi again and asked the latter to "draw soldiers from the armies of Handan".

To tell the truth, Fei Yi naturally wouldn't make Lord Zhao's father unhappy because of just five hundred soldiers, but the problem was military power, and he couldn't be the master.

He thought for a moment and asked, "I wonder which army Xiaoyou wants to draw soldiers from?" ”

According to Feiyi, there are probably several Zhao troops currently stationed in the Handan area: Anpingjun Zhao Cheng and Fengyangjun Li Dui, these two are currently stationed in the "Zhongmu" area to guard against Wei; Then on Handan's side, there was an army led by Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao guarding Handan, and the army led by Zhao General "Xinzhi" guarding the palace.

As for the other armies near Handan, they were scattered scattered in the cities and villages, and the size and elite level were not as high as these few armies.

"Then draw soldiers from the army of Yang Wenjun and General Xinqi." Meng Zhong thought for a while and said.

Hearing this, Fei Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Zhao Jiang's letter period is easy to do, but Yang Wenjun and Zhao Bao are not easy to get along, in the case that Zhao's father does not come forward in person, even if Meng Zhong is ordered by Zhao's father to transfer soldiers, it is very likely that he will be questioned by Yang Wenjun and Zhao Bao.

After thinking about it, Fei Yi wrote a letter and asked Meng Zhong to take it to visit Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao, and he reminded Meng Zhong in advance that it was probably Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao who had a bad temper, so Meng Zhong was cautious and not to annoy the other party.

"Thank you for the reminder."

Meng Zhong thanked and retired.

After saying goodbye to Feiyi that day, Meng Zhong came to the mansion of Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao and asked to see the uncle of Lord Zhao.

About half an hour later, Meng Zhong took Meng Hu and the others, and the group came to the door of Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao's mansion, knocked on the door and asked to see the latter.

The servants in the house immediately reported the matter to Zhao Bao.

"Meng Zhong? What is that kid here for? ”

When the servants in the house came to report the news, Yang Wenjun and Zhao Bao were very surprised.

I have to say that after the palace feast, Meng Zhong became famous among the celebrities in Handan because of the relationship between Master Zhao's father, how could Yang Wenjun and Zhao Bao not know that Meng Zhong was the guard next to Master Zhao's father?

It is said that as soon as he remembered that he was scolded by Lord Zhao during the palace banquet that day, Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao was full of resentment, but he didn't dare to be angry at Lord Zhao, so he had to hold it in his heart, and now, as Meng Zhong, who is Lord Zhao's father's guard, came to visit him, how could Zhao Bao give him a good look?

"Let's just say that the old man has a hangover and hasn't woken up, so tell that kid to come back another day!"

Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao sneered and commanded the servant.

So, the servant returned to the front of the mansion and said to Meng Zhong and Le Yi, who were waiting outside the door: "Yang Wenjun is unwell, please go back." ”

Seeing this, Meng Zhong immediately said: "I have a letter from the fat face, please see Yang Wenjun......"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw the servant say impatiently: "I said it all, Yang Wenjun is unwell, and he won't see anyone today!" ”

With that, he slammed the door shut.

"This is probably what Fat Xiang said about the difficulty, right?" Le Yi snorted lightly, turned his head to Meng Zhong and said, "What should I do?" ”

Meng Zhong said very calmly: "It's okay, I'll wait here for an hour, just an hour." ”

Hearing this, Meng Hu, who was still full of anger, seemed to think of something, and glanced at Meng Sui, Xiang Yi and others, and they all laughed evilly, laughing a little inexplicably.

Le Yi didn't know that when Meng Zhong said this last time, even Master Zhuang was tricked.

An hour passed quickly, and at Meng Zhong's signal, Meng Hu knocked on the door of Yang Wenjun's mansion again.

It was the servant who opened the door, and he glanced out, and then said impatiently, "You again?" I'm not ......."

However, this time, before he could finish speaking, he saw Meng Hu kick on the door and kick it open so hard that the caught off guard servant was immediately knocked to the ground, and his head was also hit by the door panel.

Before he could react, a cold sword rested on his shoulder.

"Take me to see Yang Wenjun."

Looking down at the servant who was slumped on the ground, Meng Zhong, who was holding a sharp sword, said word by word in a steady tone.
