Chapter 117: Miscellaneous Soldiers
When you leave Bianliang City, you feel like you have two worlds in the depths. The city of Bianliang is full of green trees, and people come and go. But outside the city, there are now refugees. The trees were cut down by the refugees, and the leaves and bark became their food.
The refugees dug a pit in the ground and covered it with leaves, barely enough to accommodate one or two people to sleep in. This is the home of refugees.
"The white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles! This is probably better than the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms! Afraid of bumping into someone, Zhao Yu, who was leading the horse forward, couldn't help but sigh.
"Childe! Son! Do you think this daughter of mine is so peugeot? Just one stone of rice is enough! At this time, a woman suddenly rushed over from outside the official road, led a timid girl with one hand and approached, and said with a flattering face.
"What for! Don't come closer! Several of the Praetorian soldiers immediately became nervous, and they did not let their guard down just because the other was a woman. The long sharp knife at her waist was drawn halfway, and the woman was immediately frightened from coming any closer, and she took a few steps backwards.
Zhao Yu glanced at the girl, although it was only a hurried glance, but it could be seen that although the girl had not been groomed for many days, it was difficult to hide her iconic appearance. Although the figure is not proud, it is quite tall, and the wheat-colored skin exposed outside the clothes is full of healthy and sunny feeling. With a tall nose and timid eyes, it is easy for the middle-aged uncle to have the urge to invade.
Zhao Yu is not a savior, let alone **, the most important thing is that Zhao Yu knows that he doesn't want to buy it, even if it is wrong to give a little money and food to this woman. It's not that someone is robbing in broad daylight, but that other victims will be moved. In the face of these refugees, Zhao Yu is not beating, nor is he leaving, maybe there will be trampling on the world, and people did not save one, but killed a few people.
Seeing Zhao Yu leave without looking back, the woman gritted her teeth and said, "Son, half a stone!" Just half a stone of grain! You can buy my girl! Have pity on us, we haven't touched anything in two days! Just drink water every day, and in a few days, you're going to die! ”
Zhao Yu couldn't help but pause when he raised his steps. sighed a little helplessly, and said to Li Lizhong: "I'll go first, you wait and take this mother and daughter's family to the vicinity of the barracks, hurry up, otherwise you will be surrounded by other refugees, but it will be troublesome!" ”
"Yes!" Li Lizhong promised, hesitated, and said, "Lord Wang, you are too soft-hearted towards women!" ”
Zhao Yu scolded with a smile: "Only for beauties!" ”
Having said that, Zhao Yu also felt that he couldn't make a big deal, all because sometimes, it was easier to be soft-hearted. Look at Liu Bei, forty or fifty years old can be regarded as an achievement. However, he is decisive enough, his wife says to abandon it, and his son says to fall if he falls, a brother is like a brother, a woman is like clothes, how many soldiers and heroes have won the hearts of heroes?
When they arrived at the barracks, Han Ping, the commander of the box who was in charge of recruiting troops, had already led a group of subordinate officers to greet Zhao Yu at the gate. "The last general will wait to see the prince!"
One by one, they bowed their hands, neatly and neatly, but they were not mighty!
Zhao Yu also went to the barracks for the first time, although there was a forbidden army in Bianliang City, but the barracks was not a barracks, but it could be said to be a training ground. Moreover, the treatment of the forbidden army is good, few people will stay in the barracks for the night, and if they have the opportunity, they will go home, and no matter how bad they are, they will go to Fireworks Alley to fight tooth sacrifices.
Zhao Yu returned the salute and said, "You are too polite! Please get up! ”
Han Ping and others agreed, and Qi Qi stopped his waist. Han Ping stepped forward, made a gesture of please, and said, "Lord Wang, please come in, the roster has been prepared, just wait for Lord Wang to choose!" ”
The Song Dynasty generally rarely looked at real people when selecting soldiers, because the Song Dynasty had a strange system, depending on the height to get a salary, and to enter the forbidden army based on the height. Soldiers of the forbidden army not only have to be strong in martial arts, but also have to be more than 1.7 meters to enter. If you are as tall as the bantam tiger in the Water Margin, and you are still from a civilian background, even if you have Zhang Fei's bravery, it will be difficult to enter the forbidden army.
Because of this, the roster not only records the person's name, place of origin, rating, but also his height. And the general selects soldiers, and they also select tall men from these rosters.
Zhao Yu was the opposite, shook his head and said, "No, you gather all the soldiers!" This king has his own way to choose! ”
Han Ping doesn't matter, his commander is actually excessive. He was originally the commander of the forbidden army, that is, his superiors promised to promote him to the commander of the box, and after a while, he was appointed as a foreign official, and then he agreed to wade this troubled water. Otherwise, who would be happy to manage these outcasts?
Since these are not his future soldiers, Han Ping is naturally not afraid of being selected as good soldiers, resulting in the army not becoming an army. Han Ping readily agreed.
As the saying goes, there are more than 10,000 people, and there is no boundary. However, the feeling for Zhao Yu is not vast and spectacular, but helpless!
10,000 soldiers gathered half-dead in the open space, all disheveled, what clothes to wear when they came to join the army, what clothes to wear now. None of the queues were neatly arranged, so piled, there was a bunch, very messy.
That's not all, more than eighty percent of the soldiers Zhao Yu found that they didn't have bamboo sticks in their hands, and asked Li Lizhong to go down and inquire. The news I got made people laugh and cry! Why? It's not that I forgot to bring them, but these bamboo sticks are better, so I take them home to strengthen the house, and the worse ones are directly chopped and burned as firewood, and some are sold to vendors.
For the first time, Zhao Yu found that these scholars still had some foresight and did not give these soldiers weapons. Otherwise, in less than three days, there would be 10,000 more sets of weapons and armor on the market. That's a lot of fun!
"Ahem! Cough! Lord Wang, it's been a long time, and after a while, I'm afraid these soldiers will be dissatisfied! Han Ping reminded softly.
Zhao Yu's heart is happy, Nima's! Feelings, these guys or uncles?
Han Ping naturally knew the general idea in Zhao Yu's heart, in fact, if it weren't for this, how could he, Han Ping, go from a commander to suddenly cross the Xiang Yuhou and the deputy commander of the Xiang to the position of the Xiang Commander. Even if the status of the van soldiers is lower than that of the forbidden army, it will not be promoted like this!
Han Ping explained to Zhao Yu: "Lord Wang! You don't know anything, these are basically Qingzhou people. The people of Qingzhou are fierce, there are Qingzhou soldiers of Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms in ancient times, and when the five dynasties were in place, the Qingzhou soldiers should not be underestimated. These people are basically practicing martial arts, but ...... Well, it's just that the temperament is unrestrained, and you have to follow it! ”
Zhao Yu was amused by the "unrestrained" description behind Han Ping, and he couldn't imagine that this rough man had such a funny side. "That's it! This is what the king knows! ”
