Shangyong County, Dazhu Township, Dushuili, this is a small township under the jurisdiction of Shangyong City.

At ten o'clock at sunset, several strange ox carts drove into this small township, attracting many children to watch, only those old men, looking at the strange ox carts, with a trace of vigilance in their eyes.

Now, the border of Hanzhong is in flames of war, although it has not affected the Dao Shangyong, but the people in the township are a little wary of strangers from outside. Who knows if the stranger is an enemy spy or a thief cottage?

There is no one who stipulates that spies and meticulous workers can't ride ox carts, right?

Huo Yuanjie walked on crutches and led more than a dozen young people in the township to the ox cart slowly.

Huo Yuanjie is a veteran of Jingzhou, originally stationed in Zhuyang Pass with nothing to do, followed Wen Shuo to Liu Huangshu to the west into the Hanzhong territory, in the battle of Shangyong City, Huo Yuanjie lost a thigh, and now there is only one leg left, and he has to walk with crutches, and he can't walk freely.

Fortunately, Uncle Liu Huang is benevolent and treats the soldiers under his command well.

Huo Yuanjie got fifty acres of land, and he also became the chief of the township and the water.

Even, Huo Yuanjie also went to his hometown to ask his brother and his family to come to Shangyong.

If the elder brother's family also comes, even if they are resettled according to the displaced people, they can get more than 20 acres of land. However, Huo Yuanjie felt that it was very likely that his brother's family would be placed according to the military family. In this way, they can divide more than ten acres of land.

As a disabled veteran, Huo Yuanjie is now very grateful to his father-in-law, Uncle Liu Huang.

Yes, Huo Yuanjie's family has now acquiesced, and Uncle Liu Huang is his father-in-law.

Therefore, after becoming the mayor of the water, Huo Yuanjie has always been conscientious. supervise the autumn harvest and taxation in Lizhong, settle disputes between neighbors, etc.; Even the more than ten young men in the middle of the room were organized by Huo Yuanjie to practice.

Well, these young men would have been sent to the new barracks in Shangyong City.

It's just that the autumn harvest is busy right now, so the recruitment of new soldiers in various counties is also slowing down.

However, in those townships where there are disabled veterans, the young people in the townships are still organized.

In addition to harvesting the crops, these young men practiced with the veterans. Disabled veterans can't teach much about the ability to kill the enemy or something, but the rules and systems in the army, as well as the simplest problems such as queue cooperation, veterans can still teach these young and strong.

With the appearance of the veterans, the young people in the townships are actually very envious of these disabled veterans.

Even if the veterans are disabled, it is enough to make the young and strong envious.

What they envy is naturally not the disability of the veterans, but the treatment of the veterans.

Good iron doesn't nail, good men don't serve as soldiers, it's in this era!

Many of the people, especially the young and strong, actually looked like soldiers.

In the army, all the way up to the general or something, the people are just delusional in their sleep, and the simple ideas of the people are more often in the soldiers to eat food, of course, if there is a little food, it would be better.

Therefore, in this troubled era, as long as the princes put up the banner of recruiting troops, they will not worry about the source of soldiers.

Today, it is Uncle Liu Huang who is in charge of the mediocre and other places.

According to the appearance of these veterans, the soldiers under Uncle Liu Huang are actually treated very well. Even a small soldier has a salary of 100 yuan a month, and if he has military exploits, he will also have many rewards.

Even if you can't eat chicken, and you end up disabled, or die in battle, isn't there still such a high pension?

Therefore, after the veterans are appointed as township chiefs and lieutenant chiefs, it is not too simple to recruit young and strong.

Now, these young men who are following Huo Yuanjie are the results of more than half a month of his training.

……

As the lieutenant chief, if a stranger enters the lieutenant school, Huo Yuanjie must be strictly interrogated.

At this time, several people came down from the ox cart one after another, and they seemed to be very familiar with each other. One of the older ones, thirty or forty years old, got out of the car and looked at the sky, then looked at the situation in the township, and said to everyone: "This place is still more than twenty miles away from Shangyong City, and before dark, we will not be able to catch up with Shangyong City, so we can only spend one night in this township." ”

"Brother Zhengfang is right, let's rest here for one night." Another young man, with a boy beside him, who seemed to be his son, was a little haggard at this time, which was the result of the dust and dust all the way.

Obviously, the first person to speak was Li Yan and Li Zhengfang.

In other words, when Zhuge Liang personally invited him, Li Yan was quite moved.

Whether to continue to wander in Jingzhou or be invited to Hanzhong to assist Liu Bei was not a dilemma for Li Yan.

Therefore, Li Yan resigned from his position as a warden of Xiangyang City and went straight to Hanzhong with his family. When he passed Zhuyang Pass, he unexpectedly ran into another family who defected to Uncle Liu Huang.

The other family is the Huo Yi family.

Jingxiang has several major families, among which the hanging tail is the Huo family. In the past ten years, the Huo family has been declining day by day, and has been squeezed out by the Ma family and other families, and it has been a little unable to gain a foothold in Jingxiang. When Huo Yi was looking for another way out, he saw Liu Bei rising in Hanzhong. So, after thinking about it, Huo Yi directly took his family and went to Hanzhong.

Yes, Huo Yi did not receive a solicitation letter from Uncle Liu Huang.

However, sending charcoal in the snow is still the icing on the cake, Huo Yi knows how to choose.

Today's Uncle Liu, his power is not very strong, and how his Huo family is declining is also a big help to Uncle Liu.

Li Yan's family is just one ox cart, while the Huo family has five ox carts. This is not carpooling, but the population of the Huo family, as well as the belongings that need to be carried, Li Yan, who thinks that he is not a small family, can be compared.

……

"Where did they come from and where do they want to go?" Huo Yuanjie approached and asked on crutches. As the governor of the water, he is a stranger, and he must be interrogated clearly.

Beside Huo Yuanjie, more than a dozen young men held spears in their hands, faintly surrounding this group of people.

Two of them even have two hand crossbows.

Naturally, the common people were not allowed to own weapons, especially crossbows, which were lethal weapons. However, Huo Yuanjie is the lieutenant commander and a disabled veteran, and when he retires, he has no problem picking up some weapons that are about to be eliminated from the army.

After all, the townships need to assist in defense, and the young and strong people have no weapons in their hands, how can they help defense?

"I am Nanyang Li Yan, this is Nanjun Huo Yi, we were all recruited by Uncle Liu Huang and came to Hanzhong to take office."

Seeing the one-legged Huo Yuanjie, Li Yan did not underestimate it, and replied.

has been a young official in Xiangyang for a long time, Li Yan's ability to slander and observe feelings is not low, and he knows that the disabled lieutenant in front of him is afraid that he has retired from the army. Moreover, there is a fierce aura on his body, and he is afraid that it will not be long before he retires.

A disabled and retired veteran can actually serve as a lieutenant chief?

Under the rule of other princes, I am afraid that there is no such good thing.

"Only under the rule of Uncle Liu Huang, maybe it can be like this, right?" Li Yan thought in his heart.

Looking at the leopard in the tube, it can be seen that at this moment, Li Yan also has some expectations for the future lord Uncle Liu Huang.
