Chapter 899: Luoyang City, the Imperial Capital of the Millennium (22)

The corners of Zhang Liao's mouth showed a helpless wry smile. I really threw my flattery to the blind man, and now I completely lost face.

He took the initiative to stand up and make a statement, and his colleagues rolled their eyes. People didn't take a fancy to it, so how could he continue to mix in the army? Becoming the laughing stock of the whole army is already an ironclad thing.

After he stood up yesterday, his colleagues and Lu Bu looked at him differently! If Gao Yang didn't want him, then he wouldn't be able to stay in the army.

When Zhang Liao was still secretly sad, Gao Yang had already quietly hooked the corners of his mouth, a subtle bright color flashed in his eyes, and he said with a smile, "Listening to Wenyuan's accent, it seems that he is also from Bingzhou?" ”

"Back to Captain Gaodu." Zhang Liao bowed, sorted out his emotions, and said in a deep voice, "The last general is a person from Yanmen County, Bingzhou. ”

"Oh?" Gao Yang had a surprised expression on his face and said, "It turns out to be a fellow villager." After a pause, he continued, "Then Wenyuan, are you willing to win fame with me?" "In this era, it is useless to say anything about the righteousness of heaven. For these martial artists, promoting officials and wealth, and sealing their wives and sons is what they want to do the most.

"The last general is willing to serve the adults and serve the dogs and horses!" Zhang Liao was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly leaned down and saluted.

"Hahaha~~~" Gao Yang laughed out loud as he learned the scene in the ancient play, and raised his hand to touch his beard. When I touched my beard, which had grown hard stubble, I remembered that I didn't have a beautiful beard. pursed his lips and said, "I have Wenyuan, like a tiger with wings!" ”

Gao Yang eventually took Gao Shun and his two trapping camps, as well as a cavalry led by Zhang Liao.

According to the analysis of various historical records, the biggest possibility of trapping the camp is a heavy infantry riding horses! They moved on horseback, and their combat was mainly on foot. Dressed in heavy armor, brave and fearless! It is the best soldier in the world! It is also the only elite force that Gaoyang can get hold of in the short term.

Gao Shun is reluctant to follow Gao Yang, even if Gao Yang is his own family. Merely. Lu Bu's words had already been released, and he could only accept them helplessly. In this era, face is more important than life, especially for those who value reputation so much.

Since Gao Shun is a loyal and righteous person, he has already served Gao Yang. Naturally, there will be no more moths. And after Lu Bu got the news, his wound burst out, but he was helpless.

He never thought that a turtle who had just come down from the countryside to Luoyang City would actually know the prestige of the trapped camp. The flow of information in this era can be extremely congested. Not to mention news in the military.

Originally, Lu Bu threw out Zhang Liao, who took the initiative, just to use the young and up-and-coming Zhang Liao to block Gao Yang's mouth. Who would have thought that Gao Yang would directly pull away the trap camp that he valued the most. didn't turn his face on the spot, which already made him himself can't believe it.

The big words have been spoken, so it is absolutely impossible to go back. Although he Lu Bu is not a person of great loyalty and righteousness, he still needs this bit of face.

"Humph!" Re-wrapped the wound, Lu Bu, who was sitting in front of the desk eating meat and drinking wine, had a gloomy face, and said coldly, "Lao Tzu pulls another trap camp out, what's the big deal!" ”

Of course, it's just talk. Lu Bu knew very well in his heart that the trapped camp could have today's strong power. and Gao Shun's commanding ability is inseparable. It's just that he has no other choice now but to die with a hard mouth. At the same time, he has hated Gao Yang to the bone in his heart!

Dong Zhuo provided a military camp for Gao Yang's newly acquired subordinates. It is also in Luoyang City, which was previously a camp of the Northern Army, and has all the facilities.

After Gao Yang brought more than 1,000 soldiers here, he appointed Gao Shun as the marching Sima and Zhang Liao as his deputy to command all the soldiers.

Gao Yang sent Huang Liang and his servants out on the way, and told him to go to the market to buy a large amount of grain, meat, and wine. Get ready to reward your newbies. In this era, if you want to win the hearts of the military, this is a necessary investment.

Gao Yang now has fifteen hundred gold on his body. One thousand was given by Dong Zhuo, and five hundred was won by betting on himself. Gao Yang didn't care about these things outside his body, if the storage space could be used. There are many such things. Gold in this era is not just about gold. And white gold, which is silver. as well as copper.

However, I want to win people's hearts. This kind of thing is essential.

Truckloads of meat and alcohol were brought into the barracks. After Gao Yang gathered all the soldiers. Gao Yang, who had already been dressed up and put on a brand new battle armor, strode onto the stage.

The sharp gaze swept over the soldiers in the audience, nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice, "From today on, I will be your commander!" I am responsible for your food, clothing, shelter and transportation. I will let you eat the best food and drink the best wine! The only thing you have to do is obey my orders! Do you understand?! ”

The army of this era is also very single, and the main general is prestigious, so if you can eat your stomach, then follow you! Gao Yang asked, and the soldiers who had been staring at meat and wine for a long time immediately responded in unison.

The army of this era has a lot of money. But. There must not be many of them, that is, the level to which the soldiers will not starve to death. Only the elite troops are better treated. Eating meat and drinking alcohol. Unless it is a great victory, the Lord will reward it. Or just go to looting. Otherwise, it's hard to come across. Even if they're elite traps.

LΓΌ Bu governed the army strictly, and looting was rare. And the food and salaries allocated by the Xiliang Army were enough for the soldiers not to starve to death.

Although Lu Buwei was famous, those Xiliang troops did not dare to do anything, and the food and salary were all allocated in full. However, if you want to eat meat and drink alcohol, it will be difficult. What's more, they are still cavalry, and they need to take good care of their war horses. This is even more costly.

Gao Shun looked embarrassed, but he just looked at the enthusiastic soldiers, but he didn't say anything more in the end. For Gao Shun, who values loyalty, since Lu Bu has handed over him and his corporal to Gao Yang, he will inevitably serve Gao Yang!

Gao Yang waved his hand, signaling that he could eat. The soldiers suddenly burst into laughter. Except for the soldiers who stood guard at night, everyone else arranged in their own ranks to find a good place and wait for the cooks to prepare the meat.

The meat in this era is mainly dog meat, and everyone slaughters dogs. Beef and mutton were eaten only by the rich and nobles, especially beef, which was the most important tool of labor.

Meat is not likely to be eaten regularly even by these superior people. As for the wine, the wine made with grain fermentation is even more expensive.

The real goods in circulation in this era are not gold and copper coins, but grain! Especially during the Three Kingdoms period, when natural disasters* were rampant!

It's better now, in a few years, the war will be all about food. Whoever has more food will have a greater chance of victory. During the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao was full of confidence because he had more food. As long as there is enough food for the soldiers, as long as there is enough food, there is as much as you want. When the granary was burned down, he lost his belief in winning! As for meat, everything that could be eaten was eaten, and in the end only dried meat was left. It's the kind of dried pork that is made into barbecued pork buns.

"General." Gao Yang stepped down from the platform and came to Zhang Liao Gao Shun. Both bowed at the same time.

"Come on, come on." Gao Yang narrowed his smiling eyes, took the arms of the two of them and walked towards the military tent, saying as he walked, "I will not get drunk today!" ”

The Bingzhou army is a border army, and it fights with the nomads on the grassland all the year round, and when it comes to the elite level, it is definitely not under the Xiliang army. After so many years of running-in, it naturally has its own set of marching rules. Gao Yang has no interest in changing, for him, it is enough to win over generals who can do things.

The next morning, the sun was shining. The warm sunlight shines through the papier-mΓ’chΓ© window into the room, waking up the sleeping sun.

"Whew~~~" Gao Yang, who rubbed his head vigorously, sat up and got up to find water to drink for his dry throat.

In this era, the alcohol content is low, but it can't stand the large amount. Not only with Zhang Liao Gaoshun, but also with those military candidates, tun commanders and even team leaders! These grassroots officers are the cornerstone of the army, and Gao Yang naturally has to have a good life. Drinking alcohol is the most effective way to do this.

When there are more people, there will naturally be more wine. Under the admiring gaze of the generals and colonels in the army, Gao Yang, who was tested by alcohol, finally got drunk.

Of course, being in this time and space that does not belong to him, Gao Yang is not really completely unconscious. Even when he was drunk and slept, he was still able to maintain a trace of vigilance!

Gao Yang has a lot of gold, but he has more people under him. What's more, he still buys extremely expensive meat and alcohol. Last night was just a meal, and Gao Yang's net worth that he had just saved had shrunk by almost half.

He needs to find a way to get money and food.

As a person valued by Dong Zhuo, the Xiliang Army would not card him on money and grain. However, even a little bit of it was not enough for him to raise the army under his command for nothing, let alone recruit new troops.

Gao Yang needed a new approach.

After a brief wash, Gao Yang dressed up and went to see Dong Zhuo. Today, Dong Zhuo will arrange a place for Gao Yang and his soldiers and horses.

"Hahaha~~~ Zihou." Dong Zhuo, who was fat and unshapely, laughed loudly and walked to the inner hall with Gao Yang in his arms. I was about to laugh in my eyes. said with a smile like a bell: "God let me get such a good general, it is really my great luck." ”

"The last general is willing to die for Xiangguo!" Gao Yang is telling lies now, and he doesn't blink his eyes. The expression on his face is solemn, and there is a resolute look in his eyes, and he has an actor-level performance. When you see people, you talk about people, and you talk nonsense when you see ghosts.

"Hahaha~~~" Dong Zhuo continued to laugh in his signature style and said yes in a loud voice.

In the inner hall of the Xiangguo Mansion, the battle armor flashed, and the stars gathered. Gao Yang glanced at it, and it seemed that except for Lu Bu, other generals with names and surnames had come.

Lu Bu is still recovering from his injuries. However, Gao Yang thinks that he is more likely to be cultivating his heart. Without a long period of cultivation, the agitated mood calmed down. It is estimated that Lu Bu will continue to disappear for a while. (To be continued)
