Nothing was said all night.

Early the next morning, the weather was clear. Gao Yue, Feng Liang and Li Hu, according to the agreement, finished breakfast and set off to Shouyang County together. The three of them talked all the way, walked unhurriedly for more than two hours, and they could already see the outline of the county in the distance.

Li Hu and Feng Liang have been here many times, it is not strange, Gao Yue is the first time he has come to a serious city after passing through this era, he quickened his pace and carefully looked at everything that came into view.

From a distance, I saw a sparse figure walking back and forth on the wall, it should be a patrol soldier, but it looked very listless.

The height of the city wall is no more than two and a half zhang, and compared with the city wall of his own life, it is obviously low and thin. When I got closer, I found that the walls were made of gray bricks and stones, and many places were broken and scarred. The important thing is that there is no moat at all, just swaggering and going directly to the city gates.

The low gates were covered with copper. But if you pay a little attention, you can see that the copper skin at the lower edge of the door is so corroded that it rolls over, revealing the blackened wood inside.

Outside the city gate, there was a gatekeeper on one side. He didn't even wear light armor, one wore a gray jacket, and the other wore a shoulder, all tied around his waist with a belt of unknown color. The two of them, each with a gun, leaned against the wall, lazily, as if squinting in the sun.

Gao Yue shook his head. Shouyang County, for him, is not a city, giving people an intuitive impression of being downcast and weak. Yes, weak.

He quickly calculated it in his mind. If you attack this city by yourself, you don't need to prepare the most basic equipment such as catapults, ladder vehicles, and battering rams, as long as you have two or three thousand elite foot soldiers, even if you attack strongly, you can take it in only half an hour.

This place can only be used as a temporary shelter, and it must not be used as a fundamental business slowly. Zhi Ping is satisfied when he is entrenched here, and his eyes are not worth mentioning.

"Stop! There are no rules, is this city just going to enter if you want to? ”

A strange shout interrupted Gao Yue's thoughts. Realizing that he had reached the city gate, the two gatekeepers stood up, blew their beards and glared, and pointed their guns straight at their chests.

In a daze, Li Hu stepped forward quickly, grabbed the sleeve of one of the gray-shirted soldiers, and said with a smile: "The two military masters, this is my cousin, the first time I came to this big place, I was confused just looking at the freshness, and I didn't intend to offend the two military masters, and the military masters bought two bowls of water and wine to drink." ”

Li Hu followed his father when he was a child, managed his livelihood, and dealt with all kinds of people, which was very familiar with the world, he said and laughed, and quietly stuffed ten coins into the pawn's pocket.

The pawn checked it and knew that it should be enough to buy two bowls of wine to drink. Looking at the three of them also looking bitter, it is estimated that there is no oil and water, so they will accept it when they see it. and their companions made a look, and the two put away their guns, and their faces eased a lot.

The gray-shirted pawn who collected the money looked at Li Hu and said to Kan Shoulder: "This person shouldn't be a spy. Noodles are cooked, noodles are cooked. Is it the old Li family in Bailing Village? Is this big guy your cousin? Your own brother? ”

A litany of questions came to mind. Li Hu hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Oh, the military master still remembers it, it's really an honor." This is indeed my cousin, my own brother went up to the mountain, went into the city to sell mountain goods in the coming day, and then invited the two eldest brothers to drink. ”

The other one wearing thin shoulders also came over to look at Li Hu, and then looked at Gao Yue and Feng Liang, who were silent next to him, and finally stared at Gao Yue for a while, waved his hand and said, "Go in." It's not small. ”

Gao Yue has been a survivor of heroes and martyrs since he was a child. Yue Fei devoted all his offerings to him, and the Southern Song Dynasty court also rewarded him repeatedly. Later, he joined the army under the command of Yue Fei, and fought in the east and west, basically without much sensitivity and concept of money.

Over there, Feng Liang was already huffing angrily: "Brother Li, your family is also in a tight situation, why do you still give money to those two watchdogs, Uncle knows it, and he can't feel distressed." I also brought the money, and I gave it back to you. ”

Li Hu glared at him, and said with a smile: "I looked at it from afar, today are the two most greedy people on duty, and I know that if I don't give them what they mean, I can't enter the city." Besides, they looked at Brother Gao's unfamiliar face, and it was even more reasonable to ask for money. ”

Gao Yue only reacted, daring to love Li Hu for letting blood just now. He hesitated and said: "This, even Brother Li's wealth, I am really uneasy in my heart, and I will repay it in the future." ”

Seeing Gao Yue's slight embarrassment, Li Hu laughed: "In the past, Brother Gao was calm and free, but today it is rare to see you embarrassed, it is really fresh, funny, funny." ”

Feng Liang smiled and said: "Brother Gao, you also said that they are all your own brothers, then you don't have to mention anything to repay in the future, Brother Li is the most righteous and good man, he doesn't like to listen to this." ”

Li Hu slapped his thick palm on Feng Liang's thin shoulder, and Feng Liang crooked his eyebrows. He praised: "Liangzi, what you said until my heart is good, you are a good brother!" ”

After that, he turned to Gao Yue and said, "Brother Gao really wants to hug him, just go and hug a beautiful girl, don't come to hug my Da Li, haha." ”

"What the two brothers said is that I was pretentious." Gao Yue thought about it, and he couldn't help but smile.

After entering the city gate, the three of them walked along the main road of the low houses on both sides. The farther I walked into the city, it gradually became a little lively, there were vendors hawking, pedestrians hurrying, and there were three or five soldiers patrolling the streets, pacing lazily. But it's chaotic, and everything has a sense of disorganization.

The three of them followed the road and came to the county office. On the empty wall in front of the ya, there was a notice of the boss, and there were some people in front of the notice, about a dozen, all looking up to watch. There were not many people, so there was no need to crowd, Gao Yue approached straight and opened his eyes to see.

"The times are difficult, and the people are not at fault. Recently, there have been rebellious soldiers and bandits in the mountains, and all they have passed is white. In order to bless one party, and protect oneself, protect my Shouyang Sangzi from poison, so that the people are safe. Today, on the orders of the city lord, I sincerely recruit people who are willing to follow, and who are brave and brave and brave and brave and strong to enlist in the army.

1. Recruit men over 14 and under 40 to eat three times a day, all of which will fill their stomachs and restore their wealth every day.

Second, the recruitment of troops is mainly based on the Xianbei, Qiang, and Di people in Hexi. The Han people are weak, the last.

Self-proclaimed Keye, quickly go to the barracks in the north of the city. The husband of the man, when he is famous, he will not be a hero, so that he will still know his person after a thousand years, empty of talent, and leave hatred in vain. ”

is similar to what Gong Fu said yesterday, and finally asked those who thought they had met the requirements to go to the north of the city barracks to sign up.

The content is not enough. Gao Yue Dan saw that on the notice that was two feet wide and three feet long, it was full of dragons and snakes, iron and silver hooks, and each word was three points into the wood, and the force penetrated the back of the paper. It's a good word! I couldn't help but watch it a few more times, and I was amazed in my heart.

In his previous life, when it came to calligraphy, there was no need to talk about the Northern Song Dynasty Su, Huang, Mi, and Cai. Song Huizong Zhao Ji, Song Qinzong Zhao Huan father and son are all saints in this, a thin gold character is very refreshing, reading it really makes people refreshed, can't bear to let go. In the past, when Yue Fei was fighting, he also loved to study the style of the book, splashing ink and filling in words, and Gao Yue was very affected.

The words on this notice are actually based on Zhong Xuankaishu as the bone and Wei Qian Zhangcao as the meat, which is beautiful and beautiful, and the charm is unique but like nature.

When he entered the city, he had a very bad impression of this Shouyang County, and he only felt that there was a vulgar and dilapidated scene everywhere, which made people very unhappy, but he didn't expect that someone could write this good handwriting, which made people feel refreshed and happy. What kind of life is this man, I really want to see it.

Feng Liang leaned over, raised his head and stumbled to read, and Li Hu next to him shook his head, "It's a shame to hear Xiaofu say the content of the notice yesterday, otherwise I will call me Da Li and Liangzi, read and guess the text, and when the sun sets, I am afraid that I will not know anything." ”

Feng Liang stood up, shrugged his shoulders, and smiled bitterly at Li Hu: "Too tired." Tired with his head up, this bullshit notice is even more tiring to read. If you write two sentences directly, it's not over, so Wen Zou Zou, who wrote this, I want to see him, let's beat him up again, so that he can't speak well. ”

When Gao Yue heard this, he secretly laughed. I made up my mind, and I didn't talk to them, so I asked the two of them to lead the way and went to the barracks in the north of the city to have a look. Feng and Li didn't know Gao Yue's plans, and they didn't want to ask more, so they let them go to the school and lead the way.

The county seat is not big, and after a short time, the three of them came to the north of the city. Passing by a row of houses and bypassing a small hotel at the far corner, Gao Yue saw the gate of the school yard.

Different from the tall gatehouse of his later generations, the bright eaves and tiles and the bluestone bricks stood up, the door of the school field in front of him was only built of a dozen or so woods, one zhang high, and under the eaves of the withered yellow thatch, a four-foot-wide wooden board was nailed, and the word school field was mottled on it.

Rao was like this, Gao Yue walked straight in, and he was a little excited.

His many years in the army have made him like the battlefield, the barracks, and everything that can be touched by the army.

Although this school field is basically unformed, there is no broad, majestic, majestic and solemn momentum, but it touched him, and the familiar feeling of pointing troops on the battlefield in his previous life, covering the sun with flags, and galloping across the horizon came to his heart.

The school yard is no more than 150 paces long. On the sandy land, there were already a group of about 50 people standing in the east and the west on the left. There were also more than a dozen soldiers standing in the shade on the sidelines, chatting with themselves.

Gao Yue's sunlight shines directly on the far right of the field, behind a wooden table, a person with deep eyes and a high nose, a thin face, a thick mustache on his lips, a flat scarf on his head, a black cloth shirt, and two crotch armor made of animal skins on the outside, which looks like an officer in charge of recruitment.

The sun was shining high at noon, and the man was still sitting solemnly, with a straight waist, although Zitang's face was full of sweat, there was no trace of boredom and impatience......

Gao Yue couldn't help but look at him twice. The officer immediately sensed that someone was looking at him, turned his head to look at Gao Yue, his eyes were cold and sharp, Gao Yue smiled at him, the man was expressionless, and turned his head.

This person seems to be a real soldier who can self-restraint and has a strict military appearance, and he is alert and sharp, and he should be a veteran of a hundred battles.

Gao Yue thought as he raised his feet and walked towards the crowd, followed by Feng and Li, the three of them stood still, looking at each other with the strangers around them.
