Chapter 23: Abducting the Young Man (Part II)

Although the middle-aged man bowed, his attitude did not change at all. In other words, after knowing that the person who came was the army of the imperial court, there was no previous tension, and even a bit of arrogance.

Immediately, he said in a somewhat contemptuous tone: "You have come from afar, and you have missed it. The dock fort is shabby, so I won't entertain you. Someone come, send thirty stones of grain to Wang Shi, and support Wang Shi to fight the thief! ”

"X, when we're beggars, aren't we?" Yang Le was immediately dissatisfied and complained in a low voice.

"We didn't come here to beg for food, it's just that the other party looks down on us so much, which is too contemptuous of people!" Zhang Mo frowned.

"Shuguang, the head of the Xin family doesn't seem to have a good impression of us, and he doesn't plan to arrange for his children to join the army in the future, and it's just boring for us to stay here, so it's better to leave early......" Zhu Yong obviously saw this, and said in a low voice.

"The army of the imperial court is so unpopular?" Li Ming was a little puzzled.

"Let's not talk about the lonely army, there is no formal establishment yet, and others can't say that they still treat us as defeated soldiers fighting the autumn wind. Besides, there are only 500 people before and after, and we have to deal with thousands of Yellow Turban stragglers, I'm afraid he is not optimistic about us, right? Zhu Yong smiled bitterly.

Looking at Zhu Yong's expression, Li Ming was almost certain that this situation was a normal situation. It's just that I don't know why, I always can't swallow this breath in my heart, mainly because of the other party's attitude, which makes him unbearable!

"The head of the Xin family, a certain is under the command of Zhu Jun, the right lieutenant of the Han Dynasty, and Li Ming, the captain of the other department. He was ordered to recruit the children of good families along the road to enlist in the army, defend the family and the country, and crusade against the golden traitors. Now passing by your land, dare to ask if there are any warriors in the house who plan to make meritorious contributions? Li Ming raised his head and shouted, why do they look down on themselves.

"The Xin family has never planned to develop in the military world!" The middle-aged man frowned and said slowly.

"Maybe the two behind you may not just want to study hard in the cold window and sit and watch the land of China being plagued by yellow turban thieves? What's wrong with the scholar, the scholar should be weak, he should see the country ruined, and he should still hold the book and study hard at home? Li Ming shouted, "I heard a poem before: Why don't men take Wu Hook and help the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty!" Please go to Yuntai Pavilion temporarily, if you are a scholar and a marquis! ”

This is one of the thirteen poems in the South Park written by the Tang Dynasty poet Li He. The original intention was to collect the fifty states of Guanshan, and it was not Yuntai Pavilion, but Lingyun Pavilion. It's just that there are only thirteen states in the Han Dynasty, and Lingyun Pavilion has not appeared, only the famous Yuntai Pavilion.

Fortunately, Li Ming was not too stupid to copy it, and reluctantly revised it. It doesn't matter if it's smooth or not, anyway, he also knows that he is a martial artist, and he doesn't have to build too much in poetry.

"Good poetry! It's just that the poetry is seven words? The young boy suddenly shouted, but was pulled back by the older one.

"Oh, Li is just a rough person, he hasn't read any books, where do he know so many rules for composing poetry, he improvises and sacrifices ugliness!" Li Ming arched his hand and smiled, in fact, he knew very well that he had aroused the interest of the young man.

"The seven-character poetry style is unprecedented, but if it can be carried forward, it can be a school of its own. Not to mention that this poem has exhausted the true meaning of fame and fortune immediately, and I suddenly felt enthusiastic at first glance, it is indeed a good poem! The young man nodded suddenly, and his brother also nodded slightly, but remained silent.

"The head of the Xin family! How many official positions are there in the Han Dynasty? That's a single-plank bridge crossed by thousands of troops, how can you do it without insurance? Li Ming saw the young man take the bait, and immediately struck while the iron was hot, "Besides, in this army, civilian officials are also needed." I'm afraid that when Ling Lang grows up, he doesn't like others to say that he is a 'shrunken turtle who only knows how to hide in the dock fort when the country is in crisis', right? ”

"I'm not a turtle with a shrunken head, I'm going to join the army! Father! The young boy suddenly shouted.

"You're only sixteen years old, isn't it nonsense to join the army!" The head of the Xin family was suddenly helpless, this young son was young and couldn't be excited.

"How old was the champion Hou when he enlisted in the army? Seventeen years old! How old was Gan Luo Bai Xiang back then? Twelve years old! In life, the most indispensable thing is dreams, and the courage to chase dreams! Think about it today, what is better to earn than military exploits? Do you really want to slowly boil your resume in the court until you have smoothed out all the blood? Li Ming raised his arms and shouted.

"Daddy!" The young man suddenly made up his mind, "It's good to be an official and have a big brother, the child wants to go to the battlefield!" ”

"Nonsense! They're just a ragtag army, not even a regular army! If you really want to enlist in the army, I can arrange for you to enter the regular army, whether it is under Lu Zhi, or under Huangfu Song, or even under Zhu Jun, it is not a problem, why do you need to join them? Not to mention, they plan to fight against thousands of stragglers of the Yellow Turban Thieves with 500 people, isn't this sending them to death? The head of the Xin family suddenly stomped his feet, dissatisfied with the fact that his young son was so easily attracted to him.

At the same time, in my heart, it is inevitable that I am also very unhappy with Li Ming, doesn't it just give him a little face, and directly abduct other people's young sons? It's just that now that he looks at the young son's decision, he suddenly doesn't know what to say.

Fortunately, the boss was steady, and even though he obviously showed an expression of interest, he did not take further action. The Xin family has studied the heirloom, the key has been linked to Yuan Valve, and the future is bright in the future, so why take the route of the military.

"If Li's expectations are good, Your Excellency should have something else to do with it. It's just that the more you use favors, the less you use them, don't you plan to be promoted after your two sons become officials? Besides, it is better to start from scratch, you don't have to be constrained by your superiors and colleagues, and it is easier to get military achievements. And, if the merit is enough, is it far from becoming a regular army? Li Ming laughed.

At this moment, don't say that it is the head of the Xin family, just say that Yang Le and Zhang Mo behind Li Ming, and even those officers under him, are also holding their breath and plan to fight hard. can really spell out a general, that is definitely a matter of glory to the ancestors.

"You! Okay, I'm scared of you! The head of the Xin family sighed, he saw determination in the eyes of his young son. This young son's talent is actually better than his brother's, but his heart is also more unstable, and he now finds that this son has grown up, his wings have grown stiff, and he is no longer obedient.

After thinking about it carefully, I have to admit that even if the relationship with Yuan Valve is good, can the two sons be successful? The resources are limited, and there are only a few official positions, the eldest son must be a leader, and the younger son is only afraid...... Thinking of this, the head of the Xin family also reluctantly recognized Li Ming's words.

A quarter of an hour later, the fort was opened, and the boy joined the army with four hundred soldiers. In the end, he is his own young son, and he has to work hard in the army, so the head of the Xin family will naturally not let him be wronged. At the very least, he will never be allowed to start as a soldier!

Li Ming naturally reciprocated the favor, and immediately appointed the young man as a military marquis, and his position was even higher than Zhang Mo and Yang Le. It's just that the two of them can't say anything, the four hundred soldiers around the young man, but the soldiers of other people's families, whether loyal or obedient, are far superior to their soldiers.

"What's your name?" Li Ming was about to be appointed, but he remembered that he didn't know the name of the teenager.

"The subordinate's name is Simbi! His subordinates not only learned swordsmanship and horsemanship, but also learned the art of war, as well as the method of counting. Simbi took the opportunity to introduce himself.

Li Ming didn't know that he was the historical Xinbi, and at this moment, he was only a sixteen-year-old boy. But because of Li Ming's intervention, life has obviously entered a new turn.

"Welcome to the army, Marquis Xin!" Li Ming suddenly laughed.
