In the previous chapter, it was mentioned that Zhao Gou ate a small snack made by Hu Die, praised it loudly, and was happily waiting for the main dish in the future, Wang Boyan took three volunteer soldiers into the house to meet him.

Zhao Gou looked at the three newcomers, all of them were not bad, especially the one standing in the middle, this sturdy body was definitely a strong man, and he drew a bow for two hundred catties like chopping melons and vegetables. Sure enough, Wang Boyan arched his hand on the side and said, "King, my subordinates first recruited volunteers in the Xiangzhou garrison, and these three people are the best of the best ten commanders. ”

Zhao Gou heard that Wang Boyan was selecting volunteers from the Xiangzhou garrison, although he remembered that Wang Boyan was a traitor, but he was still moved. Dismantling the platform of one's own lineage and recruiting volunteers for others is such a sincere gesture of goodwill.

Zhang Erlang and Zhang Sanlang also understood the attitude of Xiangzhou Zhizhou, and the two of them exclaimed several times when Wang Boyan explained.

And Lan Qi likes to speculate on others with the greatest malice, so when Wang Boyan said that these three righteous warriors were in the defenders, he didn't say anything superfluous, but when Wang Boyan presented the Xiangzhou tax account table, treasury silver, and treasury grain list, he couldn't help but praise a few times.

Zhao Gou flipped over Xiangzhou's assets, and his first reaction was that he finally had money; The second thought is that this little money, this little food, is not enough for an army of 10,000 to eat for a month; Of course, soon, he also thought of the third thing - buying people's hearts. So, Zhao Gou closed the thick account book, stacked it, and handed it back to Wang Boyan with both hands, and said seriously, "Wang Shuai, the relevant matters of Xiangzhou are still in your charge." ”

You must know that in ancient China, every time power was transferred, it was necessary to let three ways, the emperor was in charge of the government, resigned three times, the ministers usurped the throne, and humbly conceded three times, and it was best to squeeze out some tears when refusing. If you don't back down, you will be laughed at by the people of the world and the history books of later generations. Therefore, regardless of whether Wang Boyan and Zhao Gou are sincere or not, they must be humble.

So, Wang Boyan naturally offered it again as usual, "Xiangzhou is the residence of the king, and it should be the prime minister of the Generalissimo's Office." ”

"Oops", it's a pity that Zhao Gou is a modern person, he doesn't like it, and he doesn't have the heart to refuse and accept it in a roundabout way, he resolutely stuffed it into Wang Boyan's hands, "Wang Shuai, this marshal is handing over the relevant affairs of Xiangzhou to you, you know, you do things, I can rest assured." This Xiangzhou is under your rule, if it is not handed over to you, who will be in charge? Wang Shuai, don't shirk humility. ”

As soon as Wang Boyan heard this, he didn't shirk it, arched his hand, looked sincere, and said, "That subordinate will manage Xiangzhou for the king." ”

If Zong Ze was present at this time, Zhao Gou would definitely hypocritically say that you are managing Xiangzhou for the official family, not Marshal Ben. But at this time, the people in the house were either traitors or cronies promoted by Zhao Gou himself, so he didn't follow the routine, he just nodded with a smile, anyway, he had already regarded himself as the lord of the world in his heart. Then, his eyes were fixed on the main dish served by the handyman of the Zhizhou Mansion - fried pork with pine nuts. Strange to say, this is the first stir-fry dish that Zhao Gou has seen since he crossed. Zhao Gou hurriedly added a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth, well, fried until the outside is charred and the inside is tender, good craftsmanship, really good craftsmanship.

Zhao Gou made a gesture of invitation to Wang Boyan and the three strong men he brought, and asked, "Wang Shuai, have you eaten?"

Wang Boyan arched his hand, "Back to the king, the subordinates have already eaten." ”

Zhao Gou nodded, and before stuffing the second piece of fried meat into his mouth, he said, "Then you can introduce these three to Marshal Ben, right?" ”

Wang Boyan said yes, he pointed to the big man standing in the middle, who looked the most stable and strong, and said, "Wang, this is the head of our Xiangzhou official army, with good martial arts and loyalty, surnamed Zhao, and named Guang'an." ”

Zhao Gou smiled, "Zhao Guang'an, well, good name." This marshal wishes that the world of the Great Song Dynasty can be as your name. ”

Wang Boyan sighed, "The king is benevolent. Then, he pointed to the young military general on Zhao Guang'an's right hand and said, "Great King, this is Han Yuan, the archer of Xiangzhou, within three hundred steps, there are no arrows. ”

As soon as Zhao Gou heard the archer, he became interested, he looked Han Yuan up and down, and saw that this young man was so beautiful that he even had a little bewitchment, but he didn't expect that this Pan An ordinary person had archery skills as strong as Lu Bu. Zhao Gou pointed to Zhang Sanlang who was standing beside him, and smiled at Han Yuan, "Han Yuan, this is Zhang Sanlang, the archer of Cizhou, and the archer of the two states are under the command of this marshal, God really helps me." ”

Zhao Gou was talking here, who knew that Zhang Sanlang was staring at Han Yuan with a provocative face at this time, and after a while, he probably couldn't help it, he came out of the queue and said to Zhao Gou, "King, I want to compete with Han Yuan, please let the king call the shots!" ”

Zhao Gou was stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart that it is not marriage than an arrow, why do you use the word "master"?

Before Zhao Gou understood what was going on, Han Yuan also stepped forward, bowed to Zhao Gou, and asked, "Generalissimo, there is no first in the text, there is no second in the martial arts, although the last general and San Lang are now comrades-in-arms, they must also be divided into high and low!" ”

Shi Erlang probably saw that Zhao Gou was very strange about how the two sides were on the open guns and hidden arrows, he came over and whispered in Zhao Gou's ear to explain, "Wang, last year, there was a staff member in Xiangzhou who held a Zhanghe archery competition, Han Yuan was the first fixed target, Zhang Sanlang was the first mobile target, and the two of them should have played an extra game to decide the winner." But who knew that this Han Yuan was the son-in-law of the other member, so the rules of the competition were temporarily adjusted, and when the total score was calculated, the fixed target was counted as sixty percent, and the moving target was only counted as forty percent, so Han Yuan won the championship with points, which made San Lang particularly unconvinced. ”

Zhao Gou thundered on the spot when he heard this, and said in his heart, isn't it a folk competition? It's not archery to marry, and it doesn't win real money, as for making it so disgusting? Zhao Gou frowned and shook his head, nodded again, and said, "Okay, San Lang, Han Yuan, when the time comes, naturally when the two of you compete, this marshal will be fair and strict, and he will call the shots for you." ”

The two of them said in unison, "King Xie/Generalissimo." ”

Of course, Wang Boyan could see that Zhao Gou was displeased, he dragged Han Yuan back into the queue of three, and then patted the last strong man, and said, "Please forgive the king, this last person has just joined the army, but he is really good, and his subordinates know that the king is eclectic, so he also brings a recommendation to the king." ”

Zhao Gou put down his chopsticks and looked at the newcomer Wang Boyan was referring to, only to see that he was about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with a height of one meter seventy-five and seventy-five. The figure is also strong, but not as good as Zhao Guang'an; Although his appearance is also considered to be thoughtful, he is not as outstanding as Han Yuan. I don't know where this strong man is excellent, he just joined the army and was discovered by the traitor Wang Boyan and recommended him.

Wang Boyan said, "King, this soldier is not conspicuous in stature, but he can pull out a three-hundred-pound hard bow, and the waist crossbow," Wang Boyan paused, and his tone became more serious, "King, he can trigger the waist crossbow of eight stones." ”

Zhao Gou listened to these two data, felt familiar, and his heart moved, thinking that this strong man would not be ...... Zhao Gou waved his hand to signal that Wang Boyan didn't need to repeat it, he only felt that his heartbeat was about to stop, so he couldn't wait to lean forward, his tone was tense and he was short of breath, and asked directly, "Zhuangshi, dare to ask the name of the honorable man?" ”

The strong man bowed and said loudly, "Back to the generalissimo, subordinate Yue Fei." ”
