Since most of Wang Can's main energy is focused on intelligence gathering, his official position is not high, and Zhao Ziliang did not deliberately give him the road to officialdom, so his current position on the bright side is still very low, just a small street patrol general, compared with him, Chu Ge, Wei Meng and others who were brought out by Zhao Ziliang with him are also the worst guards, for this, Zhao Ziliang also feels a little indebted to him.

Zhao Ziliang agreed: "Okay, in that case, bring it back and go back to discuss it with your family to see if they are willing to go together!" ”

Chen Qing and Gong Ren glanced at each other, and also stood up together and said: "General, we are also willing to go with the general, if it wasn't for the general appreciating us back then, we are still fighting now, and we can't climb to our current position, now the general goes to Beiting, and his subordinates are short of people to call, so we naturally can't stay in the capital alone to enjoy ourselves!" ”

Zhao Ziliang sighed: "You have to think clearly, this time, I'm afraid that I won't come back in a few years, or even ten years!" ”

"General, we have already figured it out, please allow the general!"

Zhao Ziliang got up and patted them on the shoulders respectively, and said, "Okay, thank you for your trust, since this is the case, let's go to the Western Regions to fight the world!" The three of you should immediately go back and persuade your family that if your family members are unwilling to go, you must leave enough money and ask someone to take care of them, and in the afternoon you will each go to your own yamen to handle the settlement of your duties. Come here early tomorrow morning, I have asked the Holy Decree to recruit troops in Chang'an City, and within half a month, as many soldiers can be recruited, so this recruitment matter, you need to take my servants to do it, and set up the banner of this general outside several city gates in the east and west of the south for recruitment! ”

The three of them immediately agreed: "No! ”

In the afternoon, Brehan came back with a few servants, and reported to Zhao Ziliang: "General, the last general was ordered to go to the military department with the holy decree, because today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, so there are only a few people on duty in the military department, when the last general took out the holy decree, they did not dare to make their own decisions because of the small officials, and immediately reported to the prince in charge of the military department, and His Royal Highness the prince immediately rushed to the military department in person after receiving the notification, received the order, and said that all the things on the holy decree will be transported to our designated place within three days."

"Good!" Zhao Ziliang nodded, thought for a while and ordered: "General Ben has decided to set up recruiting points outside the three city gates in the east, west, and south, and find open space near the recruiting points to set up a military camp for recruits to move in temporarily, and now General Ben has two things for you to do!" ”

"Please command, General!"

"First, you send someone to inform all the merchants in Chang'an City who sell horses, and within five days, General Ben needs six thousand war horses, and they will be sent to the military camp we have set up outside the city at once; Second, you take my name to Jin Wuwei to find General Zang Xiyan to borrow a military tent, and immediately after borrowing, set up a military camp and military tent in the open space outside the city on the east, west and south sides, and immediately set up a separation zone after setting up, prohibiting any unrelated people from approaching the military camp, and early tomorrow morning, you take your servants to assist Wang Can, Chen Qing and Gong Ren to recruit troops, and put the banner of this general out! ”

"Yes!"

Early in the morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year, when the people who entered and left the city brought them outside the city, they found that there were military camps and military tents everywhere outside the city.

At the same time, Zhao Ziliang also sent people to the streets and alleys of Chang'an City and the surrounding towns and villages of Chang'an City to beat gongs and drums for propaganda.

"Dangdangdang" Hu Cong, who was wearing a helmet and armor, held a gong in one hand and a mallet in the other, and shouted after a few knocks: "Neighbors, aspiring young people, are you still working hard for your livelihood?" Are you still depressed and distressed? General Zhao Ziliang, who once shocked Tubo, Mobei and the Western Regions, is now recruiting troops outside the city, and the good young people who are interested in being loyal to the country and fighting for the country, if they don't want to regret doing nothing all their lives, they can go to General Zhao's barracks outside the city to enlist in the army, General Zhao's command is not a cat or a dog are all taken in, and young and middle-aged men who are over 16 years old, under 40 years old, healthy, no disabilities, and no hidden diseases can apply. In the future, the monthly military salary will always be paid, and Zhao Jiajun has a special channel to help you deliver the military salary to your relatives; Every year, there are two sets of spring and autumn uniforms, two sets of summer uniforms, and two winters, not counting armor and weapons! Under the command of General Zhao, meritorious service will be rewarded, mistakes must be punished, and military discipline is strict. Those who are not bound by military discipline should not go, that is looking for death; If you want to fight a person with a wife and son on the battlefield, a person who voluntarily obeys military discipline and military orders, General Zhao is your best choice, join General Zhao's command, your talent will not be buried, your combat exploits and captures will not be deprived, you will not be abandoned if you are injured, the slogan of the Zhao family army is 'never give up, never abandon any comrade-in-arms!' ’”

"Fifteen days, the conscription period is only fifteen days, the army officially set off for Beiting on the sixteenth day of the first month, what are you waiting for? What else are you thinking about? If you are aspiring to join the army and make contributions, then life is the first thing you should consider, General Zhao Ziliang has won a hundred battles, follow him, you have a great chance of surviving, if you follow a general who is unreliable and unreliable, you don't know how to die, how can you talk about making meritorious contributions and sealing your wife and son? ”

This early morning, the entire Chang'an City and its surrounding towns and villages were noisy with Zhao Ziliang's recruitment gongs and drums, and many, many young people inside and outside Chang'an City have been moved by this propaganda, and some young people who are difficult to live and can't find a way to live began to walk to the recruitment site, ready to sign up to join Zhao Ziliang's army as a soldier; Some young people who were interested in making meritorious contributions at the border began to discuss with their families, while some young people secretly prepared their bags and planned to sign up for the army without telling their families.

In an inn on Suzaku Street, a middle-aged scribe in his mid-thirties and forties heard the noise on the street and walked out of the room. ”

Brother Gao shook his head and said, "I don't know if it's a brother, Brother Cen Xian, I'll find out when I go and see!" ”

The two of them came to the second floor of the inn and pushed open the window, and a cold wind blew in, which made the two of them shiver, but their heads stuck out of the window and looked, good guys, the streets were full of people, and an invisible heat wave rushed over, making the two of them warm in their hearts, and soon they heard the parade soldiers beating gongs and drums and shouting along the street to promote Zhao Ziliang's recruitment outside the city.

The two glanced at each other, and the young man surnamed Gao said to the young man surnamed Cen: "Brother Cen Xian, I heard that this world-famous General Zhao is your fellow countryman?" Now that you are going to work in Beijing and waiting for an opportunity, I think it is my brother's opinion, isn't this your opportunity? With your talent and learning, and this General Zhao is your fellow countryman, if you are willing to go to his command to be an official, he must be waiting for him! ”

Cen Shen was quite moved, when he was in Anxi to change cities, he saw that Zhao Ziliang intended to keep him as an official, but at that time he was bent on scientific research and vaguely rejected Zhao Ziliang, those officials and generals who used to follow Zhao Ziliang have now climbed to a high position, and he, a person from a Jinshi, is still running around for life, how miserable?

Cen Can thought for a while and said to Gao Shi: "Brother Gao, your talent is ten times better than mine, and now General Zhao's command must be in urgent need of talents, why don't you and I go to apply together?" ”

Gao Shi thought about it for a while, and immediately agreed: "Okay, since that's the case, you and I will go together!" ”

With that, the two immediately made a joint decision and walked towards the military camp outside the city.

When they came to the recruitment office outside the Jinguang Gate, the two saw that many young people were standing in several rows under the command and maintenance of some soldiers to sign up for the draft in order, and there were also special captains to check the identity information, body, strength, height, and weight of each young person who was recruited, and there were also people who registered the identity of each person, even the names of parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters.

Seeing this, both of them couldn't help but nod secretly.

When it was Cen Shen and Gao Shi's turn, the captain in charge of the inspection looked at them and frowned, "Are the two of you scholars?" This younger one can apply, but you're too old to apply! ”

Gao Shi smiled and arched his hand: "This general, the two of us are not here to enlist ordinary soldiers, we will read and write, I don't know if General Zhao can recruit civil servants this time?" ”

The lieutenant looked at the two of them for a while, nodded and said, "This time, my general is indeed going to recruit a few scribes, but the place to recruit scribes is not here!" ”

Cen Shen hurriedly asked, "Please also tell this general, where are the scribes who are enlisted?" ”

The lieutenant was just about to answer, when he heard an exclamation next to him: "Isn't this Mr. Cen?" ”

The captain turned his head and saw that it was Wang Can, so he hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted: "I've seen General Wang!" These two said they were going to apply for the scribes."

Waving his hand, Wang Can arched his hand to Cen Shen and said, "I wonder if Mr. Cen still remembers Wang?" Back then, in the city of Swap, Wang had the honor to spend a few days with Mr. Cen."

Cen Shen hurriedly said, "How can you not recognize it?" Captain Wang back then has now become General Wang, congratulations! ”

Wang Can shook his head and said: "Mr. Cen don't laugh at me, if Mr. Cen had stayed to assist my general back then, I'm afraid that now I'm at least a Taishou!" How can two great talents be ordinary scribes? Come with me, I will lead the two to see the general, and now the general is looking for talent, and he will be happy to see the two greats! Come on, prepare the horses! ”

Zhao Ziliang has just come back from Gai Jiayun, he brought some gifts to Gai Jiayun for the New Year, and officially traveled with Gai Jiayun, Gai Jiayun has a lot of connections in Beiting, and now most of the generals and captains in Beiting were under his command back then, he let his son Gai Yun follow Zhao Ziliang's side, and personally wrote a letter to Gai Yun, in which he asked some of the generals he promoted to have a good relationship with Zhao Ziliang.

Zhao Ziliang, who returned home, was overjoyed when he saw Cen Shen, and the two had not seen each other for seven or eight years, although there were correspondence exchanges from time to time, but this was the first time they met after separation.

After listening to Wang Can tell the intention of the two, Zhao Ziliang said to the two: "Two great talents, now this general is just a guard, if you don't dislike it, this general will ask Mr. Gao to be the judge, and ask Mr. Cen to join the army for the record, I don't know what the two think?" ”

The two of them became right-hand men when they first arrived, and Zhao Ziliang's appreciation moved them very much, and the two immediately got up and bowed: "See the general, the general but there is a sending, I will wait for everything!" ”

"Okay, in the future, I will have to rely on the two gentlemen more!" Zhao Ziliang is also very happy, after so many years, there are finally two civil officials under his command who can be used with confidence. (To be continued.) )
