Seeing that everyone was generously vowed, Wen Yuan said proudly: "Okay! Today, in front of everyone, I will set up this first military rule, and all brothers who join our army in the future will be in charge of three meals a day, at least one meal thick and two thin, and they will be full! Meat? I can give you a breath ahead of time, definitely! As for whether you can eat or not, it depends on whether you have the ability or not! ”

"Whoa!" The four thousand people roared like wolves, and their eyes glowed green, his grandmother's, this time the application was really right! Becoming a soldier this year, isn't the picture just not to starve to death, now it's okay, as long as you can join, not only can you have three full meals a day, but you can also eat meat depending on the situation.

This time, more than 4,000 people of black people bowed down one by one, and some even had tears in their eyes with excitement.

"But ......" Wen Yuan nodded with satisfaction, and changed his words: "If you want to become a member of our army, it is not easy, entering my military camp is my brother, my brother's life is not to eat and drink on weekdays, and he doesn't care if he goes to the battlefield!" It's a brother, I'm responsible for you, for your life! ”

"Yes!" The young men responded in unison!

"Saving life on the battlefield depends on hard training on weekdays, and the military discipline in our army is strict, and the law is unforgiving! You may abide by it! ”

"Yes!"

"Good! From today onwards, the official selection of soldiers, after many tests, is the siblings in our battalion, the layoffs, the grain and rice, each returned to the hometown, how about it? ”

"Yes!" Everyone responds!

"Okay, that's the case, now start the first round of selection, with Julu County as the end point, on the way, under the guidance of my personal guard, each person will be distributed five days of dry food! The first ten people will be rewarded with a thousand dollars, a pot of wine, five buckets of rice, two catties of meat, the first 100 people will be rewarded with 100 dollars, two buckets of rice, one pound of meat, the first 1,000 people will be rewarded with a bucket of rice, half a catty of meat, and they will arrive within three days to be qualified, and those who do not arrive within five days will not be rewarded. Do you understand? ”

"Yes!" Everyone said in unison.

Jizhou has nine counties under its jurisdiction, but among them, Changshan, Zhongshan, Zhao, Qinghe and other counties and countries, at this time the real Jizhou control is just Julu, Hejian, Bohai, Anping, Wei County, this training, one is to select the elite young and strong to enlist, and the other is not even the reason for Zhang Jaw: is to choose a piece of land that is enough to lay a foundation.

Seeing that the registration list for the distribution of dry food by everyone had been completed, Wen Yuan ordered the guards to go on the road first, and then shouted: "Let's go!" ”

More than 4,000 people made a noise, like locusts in transit running north along the official road, waiting for the people to disperse, Wen Yuan also led five or six people to accompany him on the road.

Ye distance from the giant deer (I really don't know how to pronounce the word that Zhuang went to Tujiaying, and it will be called Julu in the future, sorry.) Nearly 300 miles, fast horses can be reached in one day and one night, and the infantry army needs four or five days to march normally, but these people have no baggage, only food and dry food on their bodies, and they can arrive in three or four days, so Wen Yuan ordered his entourage to slow down, just pay more attention to the situation and topography along the way.

The terrain of Jizhou is high in the northwest and low in the southeast, it is a semi-ring shape to the southeast and descends step by step, Changshan, Zhongshan is connected with Taihang, Yanshan Mountain Range, the middle part is hilly, the rest are plains, the land is flat, and the fertile fields are thousands of miles.

Jizhou has a large population, when Emperor Heng of the Han Dynasty, Jizhou still has about 5.7 million mouths, second only to six million in Yuzhou, and in the ninth year of Yanxi (166 AD), Si Li and Yuzhou starved to death four or five, to the dead of households, three or four million starved to death in two places, Jizhou became the largest state in the world in one fell swoop, but after 40 years of continuous famine, a few years ago it was a yellow turban, Jizhou was repeatedly hit hard, and there was no detailed statistics, to eleven years later Cao Cao pacified Jizhou, check the household registration, found that 300,000 people, According to the proportion of the population of the young and strong and the old and weak women and children at that time, in just 50 years, there were only more than 1.5 million left in the entire Jizhou.

This is a natural disaster, this is war! What a life-devouring weapon! Zhang Wenyuan was silently moved and sighed.

But what can I do, life in troubled times is like mustard, everything I do now is just to survive in the troubled times, the people in front of me, the army in the future, is the capital of my life, as for where to go in the future, I can only take one step at a time.

Wen Yuan and his relatives walked slowly, contemplating all the way, and they couldn't even pay homage to the people on the road, and they didn't even know where the guards could find a place to stay at night.

After sleeping for a night, Wen Yuan got rid of some depressed thoughts the next day, moved his muscles and bones, and after breakfast, Zhang Wenyuan rode his horse and galloped, and his travel speed accelerated sharply. Along the way through Yiyang, the counties of Xiangguo did not enter, and passed around the city, and a large number of displaced people went north in the past two days, and the county town along the way thought that it was a bandit crossing, and even the city gate did not dare to open.

In the afternoon of this day, Wen Yuan threw off the brigade and entered the territory of Julu County, just bypassing Ren County, a piece of Daze lay in front of him, and the lake stretched to the sky, as if he couldn't see the edge at a glance!

Wen Yuan squinted at the beautiful scenery in front of him, only feeling relaxed and happy.

"This is the famous continent in history, and it really deserves its name! If you can build a villa here, in the embrace of three or five beauties, that day, tsk, **ah" Wen Yuan sighed and said, this continent Ze history is one of the nine ancient Ze servals, also known as Julu Ze, Guang Aze, Yang Ze, the battle of Julu at the end of the Qin Dynasty took place here, to the Ming and Qing dynasties, called the mainland Ze and Ning Jinbo, the famous "Continental Chengbo" is one of the twelve scenic spots in Shunde Mansion at that time, but the lake dried up in later generations, never to be seen again.

However, at this time, there are still dozens of miles in the mainland Ze, this is the time of high fish fat in autumn, the boat on the surface of the river is like a shuttle, fishing and catching shrimp, this side of the water and soil is worth countless people in this troubled world, and it can be regarded as immeasurable merit.

Wenyuan watched the beautiful scenery of the lake all the way, and unconsciously indulged in it.

After detouring dozens of miles along the lake, Wenyuan arrived at Julu County at dusk.

Julu, the county was set up in the Qin period, and the county was placed in the 25th year of the first emperor (222 BC), and the seat of governance was in Julu (now southwest of Pingxiang, Hebei). In the Han Dynasty, the county was changed to Zhuang (to Tujiaying) Tao, and it had jurisdiction over Ren County, Pingxiang, Xiaquyang, Nanhe, Julu, Quzhou, Guanggan, Guangzong and other fifteen counties, and Emperor Shun had 600,000 mouths, as for now, there is no real number to test.

Since Julu is the first stop of Wenyuan's recruitment and training, she can't be allowed to close the city gate when the troops arrive.

Guo Dian is an old man of more than 50 years old, eyebrows are slightly rough, strong and strong, quite able to see the heroic style of the year, this old through the scriptures, understand the military strategy, the first year of the Yellow Turban Uprising in Zhongping because of negligence to treat the crime, after the Zuo Zhonglang will Huangfu Song defeated the general Zhang Liang, Zhang Liang died in battle, beheaded more than 80,000 peasant army heads, Huangfu Song two famous officers and soldiers will gather the corpses of the rebel army in the south of the city of Xiaquyang, seal the soil for the mound, the name of Beijing.

After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Guo Dian was guilty of his merits, and he still served as the Taishou of Julu, and five years have passed.

"The general is under the command of the state, and Zhang Liao, the commander of the cavalry, meets the lord." According to the official rank, Zhang Wenyuan stepped forward to pay respects, Guo Dian hurriedly helped Wenyuan up, although he is a county guard, Wenyuan is like today's subordinate of the general He Jin, and there is Shangguan Jizhou Assassin Shi Han Fu's writing, no matter what, he dare not wait slowly.

"Ahem! Wen Yuan, please get up quickly, go, and talk to me in the ya. Perhaps he was used to being pampered, Guo Dian looked a little round, I saw him cough twice, holding Wen Yuan's arm into the ya, and his own servants offered fragrant tea and fruits, Wen Yuan made his intentions clear to Taishou, and according to what he thought in his heart for the past two days, he vaguely proposed to stay here for three months, and then return to Gyeonggi.

That's right, although he hasn't traveled all over Jizhou, after two days of careful thinking, stationing Julu has become a plan in Wenyuan's heart, except for a few feudal countries, among the remaining five counties, Julu is the most ideal place in Wenyuan's heart! The terrain is flat, the soil is fertile, and it is a rare place to produce money, and there is a lot of water in the county, so you can save a lot of effort for irrigation and fishing. It is the most suitable foundation for life.

In terms of geographical location, Julu has Changshan Mountain and Zhongshan Liangguo in the north, Anping County in the east, and Zhao State in the west according to the Taihang Mountains in the west.

As for Hejian, Bohai, Anping, and Wei County have their own advantages, but for example, Hejian, adjacent to Youyan, has been invaded by Gongsun Zhan and Yuan Shao for many years, and the situation is turbulent, so it is not suitable to be a place to live.

For example, Bohai, if expected, two months later, Yuan Shao fled from Luoyang, he would be named Bohai Taishou by Dong Zhuo, although Wen Yuan looked down on Yuan Shao, but he also knew that his fame at this time could not be compared with the illustrious guy of this family, the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, the protégés and former officials were all over the world, it can be said that since the decline of imperial power, after the defeat of eunuchs and relatives, the Yuan family has the most huge power in this era, even if Yuan Shao of this generation, Yuan Shu really has no ability, still made Wen Yuan dare not underestimate.

Fame, in this era, is sometimes even more useful than wealth and power, Wen Yuan has neither a family background nor a family, so he can only rely on the future to get it.

In addition, Wei County and Anping belong to Bohai, and Bohai is the same reason, a year later, because Han Fu let Xianju return to Yuan Shao, but these two places are where the state is located, and the other is too close to the base camp of Yuan Shao in Bohai.

In addition, there is one most important reason, but Wen Yuan is not sure of his plan now, and he needs to inspect the whole county before he can finally confirm it.

Getting back to the point, Wen Yuan here just vaguely has such a meaning Guo, what kind of person is Taishou, the sea has been up and down for many years, and he only mentioned it after a little groaning, and marked out Xia Quyang as a training place for the new army on the spot, and patted his chest, willing to supply some grain and grass and military supplies. He also has a good calculation, since the beginning of the Yellow Turban Uprising, Changshan Zhang Yan gathered a group of young people as thieves, and the mountains and Ze turned to attack, returned to Zhending, has gathered more than 10,000 people, and then invaded Zhongshan, Changshan, Zhao, Shangdang, Hanoi and other places, the thieves are huge, and the heyday is known as a million people! In recent years, the official army has repeatedly failed to attack and suppress, and recently, even the counties north of Julu often have traces of black mountain bandits.

Guo Taishou left Wen Yuan's 3,000 troops, first, to show goodwill to the general He Jin, and then to have 3,000 more sergeants, so that he could sleep peacefully.

The matter was negotiated, the two guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, and they drank and feasted in the hall until late at night, and Guo Taishou personally ordered his cronies to send Wen Yuan into the hall to rest.
