With the old fox here, I don't have to be careful.

So there was a hint of a smile on the corner of my mouth: "You said lightly, five thousand soldiers. Now conquer the entire Eagle City County, can you try to recruit 5,000 soldiers? ”

"Bold!" The lieutenant named Cao Tong next to him asked sharply: "How dare you be rude to Taishou!"

I'm not afraid of this paper tiger: "Let's do what you can't do, who is rude."

I was wrong, the fault is that this Cao Tong is not a paper tiger.

He drew his sword and came at me. And Taishou didn't mean to stop it.

Be careful when talking to Taishou. Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, I don't understand this truth.

I shrank behind the old fox in fear, and saw that Cao Tong was going to cut me down when I saw this posture. For good reason, I despise the Taishou.

The old fox stood up and stood in front of me: "Why is Captain Cao so angry. The countrymen don't know how to be polite, so they collided with the Taishou. Please also forgive your sins. ”

Cao Tong looked at Taishou inquiringly, and the old fox's face still had to be given, so Taishou waved his hand: "Ye Duyou, this Taishou has never been so verbose when talking to people." Three days, five thousand. Questions? ”

"Nope! My lord. The old fox shouted.

"Good!" Taishou was clearly satisfied with the answer.

"Humble jobs need money and food!" The old fox screamed loudly, but his eyes did not make contact with Taishou.

It's a subtle expression. The loud voice is like a bandit, which is a kind of vigorous and resolute performance for Taishou.

Not making eye contact with Taishou means that although he is unruly, he swears allegiance to Taishou and submits to it.

The old fox has superb acting skills, and it's a pity that he doesn't win the Oscar.

"Yes." The same words as the Taishou are like gold, and they are verbose and not prestigious.

"If you want, go to the storeroom and pick it up. You're in charge of the finances. Taishou looked at the old fox uncertainly, and his eyes made me hairy.

"I said that as long as you recruit 5,000 soldiers, Ben Taishou will allocate 1,000 to you and let you go out with the army." Taishou continued to stare at the old fox.

I'm scared, give the old fox a thousand soldiers? Why didn't the old fox tell us.

Liang Jiu Taishou sighed, a little compromised.

"I don't believe you." Taishou said.

I looked puzzled, but the old fox lowered his head.

Taishou seemed to be saying to himself: "You deliberately pretend to be submissive, but in fact you are belligerent." You have a pair of belligerent eyes, and I have long since discovered that you are not something in the pool, so I suppress you. I only gave you an errand to send a post, are you not convinced?"

My cold hair stands on end, this Bian is too guarded and powerful.

The old fox was still pretending to be confused: "I don't understand the lowly position, and the lowly duty only knows how to be loyal to the Taishou."

"Forget it, if it weren't for the shortage of soldiers on the front line, I wouldn't have used you to recruit troops for me. Go down, Ben Taishou doesn't need your allegiance, as long as you can be loyal to the prime minister. Ben Taishou was content. ”

"Retire from your duties!" The old fox wants to flash people.

I don't know what happened between the old fox and the Taishou, but the Taishou has been suspicious of the old fox. He has also been testing the old fox, and the old fox has been pretending to be confused.

"If there are other inconsequential matters, you and the Captain can make their own plans, and there is no need to ask Ben Taishou." As we were leaving, Taishou threw down this sentence.

It seems that this Taishou is also annoyed by the trivial things of the old fox.

"You have to remember that the people who dare to go against Ben Taishou are now in the mountains behind Eagle City." Bian Tai guards the path of compassion.

"I don't dare." The old fox saluted and retreated

We exited the room. The old fox no longer ran briskly, but swayed unhurriedly in the Taishou Mansion.

I had nowhere to vent my resentment, so I started laughing, leaning back and forth.

The old fox looked at me like a nervous man.

"You're really good, old fellow. Five thousand, three days. Is there any way you can do that?"

"Nope."

"And you still promise?"

"If you don't agree, you'll be beheaded."

"Then why did you bring me here, Taishou really asked you to lead the troops?"

The old fox stopped talking.

"Also, what do you mean by Taishou's last sentence? What does it mean that the people who are against him are in the back mountain? ”

"The dead are all buried in the mountains behind Eagle City. Do you want to go? The old fox looked at me with ill intent.

"Your uncle, can you tell me what you think in your heart?" I really don't understand.

The old fox groaned for a moment, and there was a flicker in his eyes: "I won't tell you."

We have money, as a people who have been scavenged by the Metropolitan Post, and the people's ointment is stored in the Metropolitan Postal Office.

This was an era of famine, and if you had money and food, you could recruit soldiers. But we're being watched.

……

The next morning, we were having breakfast.

"No, no, no......"

"No, no, hammer, straighten your tongue." The old fox put down his chopsticks and looked at the hammer that was running in from outside in a panic.

So the hammer squeezed out: "No, it's not good. I was surrounded, outside, outside......"

The hammer is not the word, but we can still understand the four words that are surrounded.

On the other hand, we haven't started recruiting yet. The people outside are about to rebel?

So we threw away our chopsticks and rushed outside.

There was no rebellion, but a squad of soldiers came.

A small squad of soldiers, fifty or sixty people. Surrounded us all. The leader is none other than Captain Cao Tong.

I'm angry, we're angry. Bian Taishou's people.

"Lord Captain, I'm glad to be there, but I don't know, what does this mean?" The old fox greeted him with a smile.

Cao Tong was on official business: "On the orders of the Lord Taishou, guard the capital post house." Prevent mob troubles. ”

Bian Taishou, a vicious guy. It sounds good, to prevent the mob from happening, not to spy on us.

"Oh, Taishou-sama is thoughtful." Since the business is official, there is no need for the old fox to deliberately flatter, he lowered his face.

After playing, we scavenged for money and food.

The monkey wanted to cause trouble, and he pointed at Cao Tong and was about to scold.

As a result, before he could scold, he was kicked down by the old fox: "Go back and eat."

A proclamation has been issued throughout the city, and all those who join the army will be exempted from taxes. There is no age limit for the notice, which means that as long as you can hold a weapon, you will not be able to refuse it.

Born in troubled times, the tax is bizarre. If you don't want to starve to death, you can only join the army.

Joining the army, taxes are reduced or even exempted. The family could survive, so the common people joined the army enthusiastically.

But Yingcheng County has been recruited countless times, and very few can go to the battlefield.

In the morning, we recruited only about 200 people. Most of them are still old, weak, sick and disabled.

The old fox paced back and forth in the Metropolitan Post Office in a hurry, and he touched his hair, and his skin was falling off.

Cao Tong stood aside indifferently, he just assisted.

We watched the old fox pacing back and forth with wide eyes.

"Add money, and everyone who joins the army will be rewarded with 10,000 yuan per household." The old fox finally made up his mind.

It's a temptation, a great temptation. 10,000 dollars, almost enough to buy a cow.

As soon as the notice came out, we recruited more than 1,000 people in the afternoon. Our money and food have been spent.

The next day, the old fox took me to Taishou Mansion for only one purpose, to ask for money. As a result, it was a closed door.

Too obedient, everything is decided by the old fox and Cao Tong. In other words, I don't care if I figure it out on my own. If you can't complete the mission, you'll be killed.

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, even if the old fox has superior intelligence. Now there is no way, and our recruiting office is full of people in the morning.

The old fox and I and Cao Tong, the three of us were all standing at the Dongcheng recruiting office. Monkeys they are in the West Side.
