As Xiong Tingbi saw, Tieling at this moment, like a thriving dealer, is full of vitality and gratifying.

Aside from the local soldiers and civilians in Tieling, there is another person who is living like a fish in water here, and this person is Cao Bianjiao.

Being trusted and recognized can be said to be the greatest affirmation of this person's ability, and there is an old Chinese saying that a soldier dies for a confidant.

With Ye Xun's warrant, coupled with the fact that more and more homeless people flocked to Tieling, and there were many strong young people among them, Cao Bianjiao easily recruited enough 200 people needed for the first batch of Sharp Knife Battalions.

If it weren't for the strict requirements for the soldiers, let alone two hundred, even two thousand would not be a problem.

However, Cao Bianjiao adhered to Ye Xun's instructions, and in line with the principle of preferring shortage to abuse, he made strict requirements for the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Battalion in terms of physique, age and even background.

These 200 people are all over 18 years old and under 30 years old, strong in health, and innocent in their families, and the veteran oil son resolutely does not want them, and the most important point is that these people must all be Han Chinese.

What Ye Xun wants is an absolutely loyal deployment, Liaodong is now mixed, who dares to guarantee that there are no Jurchen or Mongolian spies in Tieling now? Such an important team, if it is mixed in, it will be very lively.

After recruiting all the numbers, Ye Xun also gave great support to this team, three meals a day, guaranteed to have meat every day, twice the salary of ordinary soldiers, weapons and armor, long and short, they can come.

Even the pro-soldier guards led by Liang Zhen were not as good as the Sharp Knife Battalion in terms of treatment and equipment.

With Ye Xun's strong support, Cao Bianjiao was even more confident, and vowed to build the first army in Liaodong and never let Ye Gonggong down.

Cao Bianjiao's home was not in Tieling, so he simply soaked in the barracks every day, eating and living with these people.

Ye Xun was busy calculating people, and Cao Bianjiao was also busy here, and the training plan was formulated by Ye Xun himself, so the training intensity was far beyond that of ordinary soldiers.

Cao Bianjiao was also considered to be happy in the bitterness, just finished training that morning, and before he had time to wipe his face when he returned to the tent, he suddenly had a hand to report that his relatives outside the camp wanted him to go out to meet.

Cao Bianjiao was taken aback, he knew very well that only his uncle could claim to be his relative in Liaodong, who was only concerned about selecting and training his subordinates these days, and forgot that he came out with his uncle, and his uncle followed Lord Xiong to Fushun, counting the days, it was almost time to come.

Cao Bianjiao followed his uncle to join the army, and since he was a child, he was most afraid of this uncle who was both civil and military, and the fault was originally on him, but now that his uncle came to the door, he was a little overwhelmed.

But he also knew that since his uncle came to the door, he must have mastered his whereabouts, and he couldn't hide from it, so let's see!

came to the gate of the camp hard, and sure enough, he saw his uncle Cao Wenzhao standing outside with two entourages with a gloomy face.

Cao Wenzhao is about forty, medium in stature, and elegant in appearance, it is difficult to associate him with military generals from his appearance alone.

In fact, Cao Wenzhao came here, although he had the intention of asking the teacher to ask for guilt, and at the same time, he was proud of his nephew.

Cao Wenzhao has been in the army for many years, of course, he knows the power of the Tartars, and that Ye Gonggong not only killed the first warrior of the blue flag, but also forced back Nurhachi with a trick, and let the old slave return to Hetuara in ashes.

No one knows better than these generals who have been stationed in Liaodong all the year round how difficult it is for Ye Xun to do these things, and he can't even think of being an ordinary general, and his nephew can be looked down upon by Gonggong Ye, what a great honor it is!

The status of the warriors of the Ming Dynasty is low, and there are not as many twists and turns as the literati, good is good, no matter whether you are a eunuch or not, as long as you are a hero, you are equally worthy of admiration.

Cao Bianjiao didn't dare to look at his uncle's face, bowed his head and saluted: "The little nephew has seen his uncle, when did his uncle arrive, but have you gone to see Father-in-law Ye?" ”

Cao Wenzhao said with a straight face: "Hmph! You're getting bolder, and if I hadn't found it, I'm afraid you wouldn't have told me you were there, right? ”

Cao Bianjiao scratched his head, "Hehe! He smiled and said, "I've been too busy lately, don't blame my uncle, please sit inside."

Cao Wenzhao glared at the disobedient nephew fiercely, and said, "There's no need to go in, Lord Xiong has arrived, go and report to Father-in-law Ye."

"Yo! Bear-sama has arrived? Uncle waits for a while, and the little nephew will go to report to Father-in-law Ye, by the way, where is Lord Xiong? ”

Seeing that his uncle didn't clean himself up, Cao Bianjiao couldn't help but be overjoyed, and after asking where Xiong Tingbi was, he hurriedly walked away with a cigarette.

Looking at the back of his nephew who seemed to have not grown up yet, Cao Wenzhao couldn't help but smile, stinky boy, following Ye Gonggong, how can he still look like a child?

Although Ye Xun is covering the sky in Tieling, after all, he has no clear official position, and he can still put on a show in front of others, but in front of Xiong Tingbi, the Liaodong Economic Strategy, he still has to be honest.

Listening to Cao Bianjiao's report, Ye Xun was also startled, although he also thought that Xiong Tingbi would come in a small way, but he still reported a trace of fantasy, hoping that Xiong Tingbi could notify him before he arrived, so that he could be prepared, now it seems that this Xiong Jingluo is afraid that he has already checked him out, right?

The one who should come always has to come, there is no time to think about it, and there is no time to gather other officials, let Cao Bianjiao lead the way, and rush directly to the place where Xiong Tingbi is.

Ye Xun is a thief, Xiong Tingbi did inquire about Ye Xun's actions, but in the current situation in Tieling, no one said anything bad about Ye Xun, as for Liu Yong and Li Ruzhen, Xiong Tingbi was not interested in knowing at all.

Xiong Tingbi didn't let Ye Xun go to the inn, nor did he go directly to the mansion, he just didn't want Ye Xun to think too much.

Originally, when he came, he was still suspicious of the rumors, but through the understanding of the past few days, he was already convinced that this little eunuch was really different.

Because of this, Xiong Tingbi, the short-tempered master of Jingluo, gave Ye Xun, the eunuch, a high score in his heart.

In addition, although Xiong Tingbi has a bad temper, he is not a brainless person, he invited Ye Xun to the tavern, in fact, he wanted to make friends with Ye Xun in another way, after all, Ye Xun's identity as a eunuch is really dazzling, who knows if he is the emperor's close attendant? If he makes good friends, it will definitely help him in his future career.

Therefore, eunuchs cannot be offended, especially the more magical eunuchs.

Ye Xun did too many secret things in Tieling, and when he saw Xiong Tingbi, he was still very nervous, but he didn't know that Xiong Tingbi had already put down his body and was ready to burn yellow paper with him.

Just when Ye Xun was in a hurry to meet Xiong Tingbi, a fast horse came from outside the east gate.

The sound of horses' hooves frightened the passers-by to hide on the side of the road to avoid being injured by the horses' hooves.

Seeing this, the soldiers guarding the city gate opened their bows and arrows to prepare to block, and the officers guarding the gate were just about to let the people dismount, but suddenly found that the knights on the horse were wearing the clothes of the messengers of the Ming army, and there were three small red flags behind them.

It was clearly an eight-hundred-mile urgent messenger, and the officer guarding the gate was so frightened that he hurriedly called out to his subordinates, and quickly gave the messenger a passage.

Immediately, the knight had obviously seen a lot of such scenes, and when he reached the city gate, he did not slow down, and rushed straight in.

Looking at the back of the knight who had left the dust, the officer couldn't help but wonder: "What's so urgent?" Could it be that the Tartars are coming again"...
