Chapter 21: A Visit to Jia Xu

"Your Excellency, please wait a moment, I will go and inform the prefectural magistrate." Dub shouted to the people below the city, then turned to leave.

The name of Jiangyi County is Shaoyang, and he is a martial artist. Every time the Huns invaded Jiangyi, Shaoyang would personally organize the young and strong, and lead the county soldiers in the county to resist the Huns, but unfortunately there was no cavalry, and the Huns could always ride as ten, so every time Jiangyi and the surrounding counties would suffer heavy losses.

The Xiongnu were nominally attached to the Han Dynasty, but they always disobeyed the yin and the yang. He knew that the biggest enemy of the Great Han in the north was Xianbei, and he would not easily tear his face with them.

Although the Han is lonely now, the Xiongnu were once taught a miserable lesson by Wei Huo, and their strength is far inferior to before. Therefore, each raid is to send a small number of tribal warriors, only raiding the border, not deep. In this regard, the court of the Han Dynasty only turned a blind eye. Use more military force to deal with Xiqiang, which is a greater threat than Xiongnu Xianbei.

The Xiongnu and Xianbei were feuds, and the Han court needed the Xiongnu to help the Han resist the Hexi Xianbei and Tuoba Xianbei north of the Yellow River.

Xianbei is a branch of Donghu, a Xiongnu suppressed for thousands of years, until Xianbei appeared a hero called Tanshi Huai, Tanshi Huai unified the Xianbei tribes with tough means, not only occupied the vast territory of the original Xiongnu, but also attacked Wusun in the west, chased Ding Ling in the north, defeated Fuyu in the east, and invaded the Han Dynasty in the south, so that the Han had to revoke the four counties of Shuofang, Wuyuan, Yunzhong and Dingxiang in the north, so that the residents moved back to the south of the Great Wall, relying on the Great Wall and other border counties to resist Xianbei, and now there are only five counties left in the nine counties of the state. Fortunately, Tan Shihuai died of illness in bed two years ago, and was succeeded by Helian, who was talentless, powerful, and greedy, and had a grievance with Lian, which made the unified Xianbei split again. Otherwise, the sandalwood locust in the prime of life will definitely take advantage of the Yellow Turban Rebellion to make waves.

After Dubo came to tell Shao Yang, Shao Yang appeared on the city wall in a moment.

"I am the commander of Jiangyi County, Shaoyang, and the Marquis of the West Qin Pavilion under the city?" Shao Yang held the female wall in his hand and shouted to the city.

Shaoyang is in his thirties, seven and a half feet tall, heroic, and a martial artist at first glance, and it is not uncommon for martial artists to serve as county commanders in the Han Dynasty, and even some assassins and taishou are martial artists. Li Guang, a famous general of the Western Han Dynasty, served as the Taishou of the seven counties of the border counties, and Dong Zhuo also served as the Taishou of Hedong, and the assassin of the state and the assassin of Liangzhou.

"The Marquis of the Western Qin Pavilion is sympathetic to the people, there are still many people in Anyi who need help, and the Marquis of the Western Qin Pavilion ordered us to come to Jiangyi to recruit troops first, and then I will come to the post in 20 days. This is the appointment letter of Lord Taishou, please take a look at the prefectural order. Guan Yu said and rode to the city and threw the appointment letter to Shaoyang.

Shao Yang stretched out his hand to probe, the appointment letter was caught on his mobile phone, opened the appointment letter and looked at it carefully, it was the appointment letter issued by the Taishou Mansion, and he no longer doubted it at the moment.

"Open the gates!" Shao Yang roared loudly. Then walk down the walls and get ready to be greeted.

When the city gate was opened, Guan Yu ordered all the private soldiers to dismount, these private soldiers were not very good at riding, Guan Yu was afraid that they would cause riots in the city, and Jiangyi was not as big as Anyi, so many people could not enter at all on horseback.

"Nine feet tall, red-faced and long-bearded, is it not Guan Yu, Guan Yunchang, who killed more than 100 Yangshan robbers with the power of one person, and punished the evil and promoted the good."

Guan Yu was riding on the horse just now, Shao Yang didn't see Guan Yu clearly, and now after Guan Yu got off the horse, Shao Yang immediately reacted.

After getting off Shouyang Mountain that day, Guan Yu's great power in the suppression of bandits has spread, although it has only been seven days, but it has already spread throughout Hedong County with his distinctive image.

"Exterminate the robbers, just a small name, the husband should protect the family and defend the country, fight on the battlefield, even if he dies in battle, he is a hero." Shao Yang's words made Guan Yu a little surprised, and he stretched out his hand to brush his long beard.

"There are Western Qin Tinghou and Yunchang guarding the counties on the eastern border of Hedong, so that the Xiongnu will not return." Shao Yang said happily. His face was red, and he couldn't help himself. Even imagined in his mind the scene where the legendary Western Qin Pavilion Marquis led them to kill the Xiongnu to pieces.

After entering the city, Shao Yang arranged a place to live for everyone, Guan Yu and Shao Yang were both martial artists, and many things were informal, and after a few drinks that afternoon, they had a friendship.

The next day, Guan Yu and Liu Jiang brought people to the city, set up a recruiting point, and raised the banner of recruiting troops in the name of Liu Fan, the Marquis of the Western Qin Pavilion.

Countless people heard the wind and flocked to the place where the troops were recruited.

One training a day, three meals a day. This has never had a precedent in Dahan, and this banner makes people who want to join the army hesitate.

"Sweat more in peacetime, shed less blood in wartime. The Pavilion Marquis of Western Qin is also for your consideration. Guan Yu glanced at everyone and said calmly.

This sentence was often said by Liu Fan when Guan Yu and Liu Fan were training private soldiers together. Guan Yu used this sentence today to remind these people who came to join the army.

When everyone heard this, they were justified. As the saying goes, no effort is a gain, and only by paying more will it be stronger.

On the battlefield, you live and die, only stronger. to have more chances to live. What's more, there are three meals a day to eat.

Beat a stick and give a bite of radish to eat, and everyone wanted to go to Liu Jiang to sign up.

Guan Yu stretched out his arm, stopped everyone, pointed to the stone pier on the ground and said: "Anyone under the age of 30 who can lift 150 catties of stone pier ten times can enlist in the army, and the rest are not used."

As soon as Guan Yu's voice fell, everyone was shocked, and some of them looked depressed, they were all over thirty years old.

Although the peak of human strength is around 30 to 40 years old, the body has been completely shaped after the age of 30, and the body functions will slowly decline, and it is no longer suitable for training. Young people in their teens and twenties are energetic and have a good chance of improving after training.

One hundred and fifty catties is seventy-five catties in later generations, and if there is no systematic training, few people in later generations will be able to lift seventy-five catties, let alone raise their arms ten times. In this era when there are no technological products, everything depends on labor, so the ancients were generally more powerful than the modern manpower.

In one day, Guan Yu recruited more than 300 people after screening, and only three out of ten people passed on average, some of them suffered from their young age, and some of them were not physically strong.

Although there is still a long distance from the five thousand people, Guan Yu is not in a hurry at all, because when they came, they had already released the news of recruitment, and with the fame of Liu Fan, the Marquis of Qin Pavilion in the west, there must be a steady stream of people who came to join the army.

Guan Yu ordered people to build a military camp ten miles away from Jiangyi City, and put all the recruited recruits in the military camp. In this way, Guan Yu came to the city every morning to recruit soldiers, and went to the military camp for training in the afternoon, and worked diligently.

Wuwei County, Guzang County.

After ten days of trekking through mountains and rivers, Liu Fan finally came to Guzang County, Liu Fan only knew that Jia Xu was from Wuwei Guzang, and did not know the specific address, originally thought that it would take a lot of energy to find, who knew that he had just asked a person and inquired about Jia Xu's address. It's really hard work.

Jia Xu once promoted filial piety as a lang, and after being promoted to filial piety, he went to the central government to take the Lang Office as the mainstay, and then moved to Shangshu, Shiyushi, Shizhong, Zhonglang General and other officials; In the local area, it is Ling, Chang, Cheng, and then moved to Taishou and Thorn History.

Wuwei County has a small population, and according to the regulations of the year, Wuwei County must be a filial piety person for the imperial court every two years. And in Guzang County, only Jia Xu has been cited as filial piety for more than ten years, so there are still many people who know Jia Xu.

Filial piety and honesty was a system in the Han Dynasty that selected talents from the bottom up. It belongs to the probation system. Filial piety is fame, and only with fame can official positions be awarded.
