Chapter 18: Drinking is not enough

These days, the recruitment is going quite smoothly, there is a list posted by Wang Lei, and many people from the subordinate counties have come to join the army. After all, if you can be selected as a pro-soldier, the salary is still very high, even if you can't be selected as a pro-soldier, you can eat food and receive a salary as an ordinary soldier, and your family's taxes can be halved, and now the world is peaceful, and there is no danger in being a soldier, so within a few days, ordinary soldiers have been recruited, but Zhao Yun's requirements for pro-soldiers are relatively high, and there are more than 100 people missing.

Today, Zhao Yun was sitting in front of the Taishou Mansion as usual, and saw a big man in the distance striding straight over, followed by a group of people, there were thousands of them. Zhao Yun was overjoyed, so many people came to apply, and he should be able to recruit enough today.

The big man arrived in front of him in a blink of an eye, Zhao Yun took a closer look, this person was more than seven feet tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and a majestic style. Zhao Yun secretly praised, a good man, and said to him: "You don't have to try, you can be directly selected into the pro-soldier team, but you can register over there." ”

The big man ignored it, stared at Zhao Yun twice, and laughed loudly: "You are Zhao Yun?" I think it's just a hairy child. Hahaha......"

Zhao Yun heard from his words that he was not good, and stood up with "Huo" and said, "I am Zhao Yun, aren't you here to apply?" ”

"Less nonsense, eat me first and then speak." After Dahan finished speaking, he stepped forward and raised his hand to punch. Zhao Yun was not in a hurry, his body twisted slightly, and he was able to give up this punch, and his left hand returned the palm to him. The two of them went back and forth, fighting for thirty or fifty rounds, and the big man was strong and fierce, and his fists and feet were endless. Zhao Yun is not very old, but he is also born with divine power, although Zhao Yun is not hard with him, he just lifts weights lightly, wanders around, and can't tell the winner for a while. The two sides fought for more than 30 rounds, and the big man's strength could not last, and his skills gradually slowed down. Zhao Yun saw that the time had come, and suddenly exerted his strength, punches and feet in a row, and suddenly gained the upper hand, and the big man parried and slowly showed defeat. Zhao Yun was unforgiving, and when he was unprepared, he made a mandarin duck leg method, which hit the man's lower abdomen. The man snorted and fell into the crowd.

A burst of cheers erupted in the crowd, and the big man got up, still rushed forward, and said, "It's better to be ashamed of yourself with your fists and feet, let's compare with weapons again." ”

Zhao Yun remembered Fan Juan's instructions to help Lord Taishou do things seriously, so he didn't want to fight him anymore, and said: "This big brother, I am recruiting troops here on the orders of Lord Taishou, if you are here to apply, please go over there to register, if you are here to make trouble, I see that you are extraordinary, and I am not embarrassed by you, please leave." ”

The big man didn't comply, snatched the spear in the hand of the soldier in front of the door, and shouted at Zhao Yun: "Boy, show your weapon!" ”

Zhao Yun was immediately furious, and he also took a spear and fought with him.

said that since Liu Yun came, Liu Xin was very relieved that he would hand over the recruitment of troops to him. During the day, he either went to check the progress of Zhang Jun's house, or took Dian Wei to train recruits, or urged the counties to step up the collection of taxes, and at night, the clip was with Ma Yunqingqing and me, and Xiao Yuzi lived a happy and fulfilling life.

With the help of Fan Jing, Zhang Jun finally completed the seizure of Li Cheng's family property. In order to retaliate against Li Cheng's suppression of himself for many years, Zhang Jun copied all the family properties of the five Li Cheng brothers in one go, and when Liu Xin knew that the wood was already in the boat, he had to make a mistake. Zhang Jun originally meant to sell all the daughters of the Li Cheng brothers into prostitutes, but first, the place between the rivers was not big, and there were not so many green buildings, and secondly, Liu Xin resolutely did not allow him to do this, so Zhang Jun had to give up. But the families of the Li Cheng brothers have all been driven to the countryside, and the land of these people has been confiscated by Zhang Jun, and there is no way to live, only to sell themselves as slaves or beg along the streets, and he finally eliminated the hatred in his heart.

Liu Xin looked at the account books presented by Zhang Jun, and the family property of these people was more than 70 million, and in addition to the two components that were given to Zhang Jun, Fan Jing and those soldiers, there were still 60 million. Liu Xin knew that Zhang Jun's official was bought, and he was also an official who was bought through Zhang Rang, so he ordered Zhang Jun to escort 30 million yuan to Luoyang and hand it over to the imperial court through Zhang Rang. Of course, Liu Xin himself also dictated a piece of music, asked Fan Jing to write it, and asked Zhang Jun to take it to Luoyang together. handed over 30 million at once, although Liu Xin was distressed, he understood that Liu Hong was a greedy person, and he copied all five Li Cheng brothers, and he didn't know if it was in line with the rules, if someone took the opportunity to slander and frame himself, it would be more than worth the loss. As for Li Lin, Liu Xin directly sentenced him to beheading.

After dealing with all this and sending Zhang Jun away, Liu Xin easily turned back to Taishou Mansion. With Zhao Yun guarding the door, Ma Yun's safety no longer has to worry, and Liu Xin can let Dian Wei follow him again. The two of them did not bring any soldiers, so they walked down the street, and saw a sea of people in the direction of Taishoufu from a distance. Liu Xin was taken aback, and hurriedly ordered Dian Wei: "Quick, separate the road, something is wrong!" ”

Dian Wei got the order, opened his throat and said loudly: "Hurry up!" Hurry up! His voice was already loud, but at this time, he used enough strength, like thunder, and it spread far away. There are many people in the crowd who know Dian Wei's reputation for killing, and when they heard that this fierce god was coming, they immediately exploded, and they didn't care about watching Zhao Yun compete with the big man, and ran away, just like seeing an evil ghost, and there was a slow reaction, and he was washed to the ground by the crowd, and many people were injured in a blink of an eye.

Liu Xin was shocked, isn't this the legendary stampede? hurriedly said to Dian Wei: "It's not good! Calm everyone down! Don't move! ”

Dian Wei raised his throat again and shouted: "Stop me, no one is allowed to move!" After listening to Dian Wei's words, the crowd really stopped tickling and slowly quieted down. Seeing that the situation had calmed down, Liu Xin hurriedly rushed towards the Taishou Mansion, followed by Dian Wei along the way, and the crowd automatically moved out of the way. Liu Xin walked over quickly, but saw that in front of the Taishou Mansion, there were two people in the crowd, and Zhao Yun and another big man were standing opposite each other with spears. When Dian Wei saw it, he rushed over with a big iron halberd, and shouted: "Who dares to come to Taishou Mansion to make trouble, and he is impatient!" ”

Just now, Zhao Yun was about to make a move with the big man, first there was a confusion behind the crowd, and then there was a thunderous roar from Dian Wei. These days, Zhao Yun and Dian Wei have already become familiar with each other, and the two often compete in martial arts together, which is quite a bit of a taste of seeing each other late. Zhao Yun heard Dian Wei's voice, and he didn't know what was going on, so he stopped and looked out, but he didn't expect Dian Wei to kill the big man with an iron halberd. Zhao Yun hurriedly stopped and said, "Evil comes to Hugh and wants to do it, watch me capture him." ”

At this time, Liu Xin had already walked in and said in a deep voice: "Stop it!" ”

Zhao Yun and Dian Wei listened to Liu Xin's words, and stopped their hands one after another, and the big man turned his head to see Liu Xin's official uniform, and also lost his spear and stood aside.

Liu Xin looked the big man up and down and asked, "Who are you, why did you come to my house to make trouble?" ”

The big man saw Liu Xin's momentum and knew that this young man must be the new Taishou Lord, so he immediately arched his hand and said: "Lord Hui, Xiaomin is a native of this county, surnamed Zhang Minghe, I heard that there is a young man in the house who is strong in martial arts, Xiaomin is not convinced, and he came to look for him to compete." ”

When Liu Xin heard this, he suddenly realized that it was him! He is one of the five good generals under Cao Ying, and he is tied with Xu Huang, so he said: "It turns out that I have heard of the great name for a long time, and now I see it, and I am really a hero!" Come on, come on, let's go in and talk together. ”

When Zhang He heard this, he was shocked, when did he become so famous, even Lord Taishou had heard of me? Liu Xin took a step forward, took Zhang He's hand and walked towards the mansion, and instructed the soldiers at the door as he walked: "The crowd was tickling just now, and many people were injured, you go and organize treatment, and all the expenses will be borne by the Taishou Mansion." ”

This cost is said to be borne by the Taishou government, but in fact, it is borne by the Taishou himself. When Zhang He heard this, he couldn't help but admire Liu Xin from the bottom of his heart, and said: "It is a blessing for the people to have an official like an adult in the river who loves the people like a son." ”

Dian Wei has always ignored these false names, but Zhao Yun secretly gave a thumbs up, it seems that he is not following the wrong person.

Liu Xin said modestly: "It is within one's duty to serve as an official and benefit one party. However, there are too many affairs, and Liu lacks skills and helpers. ”

Zhang He suddenly fell to the ground and said: "If the adults don't give up, I am willing to serve the dogs and horses!" ”

Before Liu Xin could speak, Zhao Yun was already beside him and said: "My lord, Brother Zhang is strong in martial arts, and he has the courage of ten thousand people, please accept him!" ”

Liu Xin smiled and pulled Zhang He up and said, "Jun Yi is willing to help me, I can't ask for it!" Let's go in and talk slowly. ”

Liu Xin unexpectedly received another fierce general, and he was in a good mood. asked Zhao Yun about the recruitment of troops again, and said: "Zhao Yun, your requirements are too high, and it is really not easy to recruit enough people." Well, you've been busy for so many days, and you're going to have to rest and rest, so that's the end of the recruitment. From these people you selected, 800 people were selected to form the personal guards of the officials, and they were named Flying Tiger Guard, and they were led and trained by you and Dian Wei, what do you think? Liu Xin knew that Cao Ying's personal guards were called the Tiger Guards, and Dian Wei was one of the commanders.

Zhao Yun and Dian Wei naturally had no opinion, and Zhang He said on the side: "Then what kind of errands do you have to arrange for you to go down?" ”

Liu Xin thought for a while and said: "Junyi, there were more than 2,000 soldiers in the barracks, plus the newly recruited, there are now 6,000 people, but there is no one to command, so you can go and be a captain." When you arrive in the barracks, you must strictly enforce military discipline, strengthen training, and do not slack off! ”

Zhang He didn't expect that he would become a captain as soon as he came, and he was overjoyed: "The last general will definitely live up to the trust of adults!" ”

The four of them set up a feast in the Taishou Mansion. Although the alcohol content was not high at that time, Liu Xin was very strict with himself since he was a child, and he usually insisted on not drinking a drop of alcohol, and today he was very happy, and he couldn't help but drink three bowls in a row. Liu Xin only drank three bowls and refused to drink again, Zhao Yun was young, Liu Xin directly did not allow him to drink, Zhang He was not very good at drinking, this was bitter Dian Wei, and finally got the opportunity to let go of drinking, but there was no opponent, he hated him so much that his teeth itched, and he secretly decided that he must find someone who likes to drink in the future.

Zhao Yun returned to the East Cross Courtyard and met Fan Juan. Fan Juan asked happily, "Brother Yun, why did you come back so early today?" ”

Fan Juan and Zhao Yun have played since childhood, they can be described as childhood sweethearts, and now there is Liu Xin, who is too guarded to protect the media, and the relationship between the two has been established, but Liu Xin thinks that they are too young to let them get married for the time being, but the relationship between the two has gone further.

Zhao Yun took Fan Juan's hand and said, "I was too busy during this time, and I didn't accompany you well, and now the recruitment is finally over." ”

Fan Juan asked happily, "Did the lord appoint you to any official position?" That's what my dad cares about the most. ”

Zhao Yun knew that his father-in-law was the one who knew him, so he hurriedly told Fan Juan: "The Lord has established the Flying Tiger Guard, which is the personal guard of the Lord, and Dian Wei and I are the left and right commanders. He and I took turns following the adults, and I will be able to accompany you when I have time in the future. ”

Fan Juan leaned her head on Zhao Yun's chest and said gently, "Brother Yun, you have to help adults do things well, don't worry about me." I'll go see Madame when I'm fine, and Madame is very kind to me. By the way, Madame said something today, I don't understand it very well, so I'll tell you about it. ”
