Under Wei Shuo's nonsense, everyone's emotions were finally mobilized, and everyone's attitude towards Hu Ren was no longer just fear, but more anger.

In addition, after a few days of contact and chat, more and more people have accepted Wei Shuo. However, not everyone wants to see Wei Shuo mingling with ordinary soldiers.

Recently, many middle and senior officers in the Xuzhou army have seen that the hearts of their subordinates are gradually being restrained by Wei Shuo, and they feel that they can no longer sit idly by.

But Wei Shuo was personally appointed by Lord Assassin Shi to engage in Cao, and everyone didn't dare to come openly, so they had no choice but to go to the Assassin Mansion to pester Pei Dun.

Someone pretended to be mysterious and said to Pei Dun: "My lord, now the soldiers and horses in Xuzhou are weak, and the newly recruited soldiers still lack training. In the face of the Hu people who are eyeing the tiger, I Xuzhou should hurry up and rectify the soldiers and horses, but since the guard Cao took office, he has only cared about messing with ordinary soldiers, and has not engaged in military training at all. ”

Besides, in just a few days, the soldiers below were subdued by the guards Cao. The lower officer is worried that if this continues, the officers and soldiers in the army only know that there is a soldier but they don't know that there is a history of assassination! I'm afraid to repeat Sima Ao's old story! ”

Sima Ao can be said to be a thorn in Pei Dun's heart, Pei Dun was born in a famous family, and he has never lost such a big person when he is so big, and he has almost become a laughing stock in the entire Xuzhou officialdom. Although many people didn't dare to say anything to his face, I don't know how many people were laughing at him behind his back. Now that someone is talking about Sima Ao, even if Pei Dun relies on Wei Shuo again, it is impossible for him to have no mustard in his heart.

"Inform Lord Wei that tomorrow's Japanese officials will go to the barracks to inspect."

On the morning of the second day, Wei Shuo waited for the arrival of Master Assassin Shi on the school grounds with 1,500 soldiers of the New Army, which was the second time that Assassin Shi had come to the barracks in recent times.

"Lord Thorn Shi has arrived!"

"Xiaguan and others welcome Lord Assassin Shi!"

Although Pei Dun is here to find fault today, he still has to give Wei Shuo some face. After all, Wei Shuo was still engaged in the soldier Cao Cao he had just appointed before, and although he had committed some taboos, he didn't want to beat himself up so soon.

"Everyone, please get up!"

Pei Dun stood on the stage, looking at the more than a thousand familiar faces in the audience, and somehow suddenly felt a little strange. Although the person in front of him was no different from the person who participated in the competition that day, he looked at it and there was a spirit emanating from the outside.

"There is nothing special for this official to come here today, but I heard that Lord Wei has been working very hard in the military camp recently, so I specially came to express my condolences to you. Come, and distribute the reward of your own rulers. ”

Pei Dun waved his hand, and a team of officials from the Assassin Mansion appeared on the school ground, each carrying several strings of copper coins with trays in both hands. There was a commotion in the crowd, and it was clear that the stabbing of the Shifu had surprised many people. Many of the soldiers who took the money suddenly became elated, and everyone thought that Lord Assassin Shi was very kind for a while.

In the face of the assassin Shi using money to compete for the hearts of the soldiers, it is impossible to say that Wei Shuo is not worried at all. A soldier is just an ordinary person, and when faced with temptation, he cannot be as rational as a saint. But it is not necessary to elevate it to the point of being alarmist, but it can be used to examine who is the most reliable person.

At the time of Laoshan, given the lack of human resources, it was impossible for Wei Shuo to expand the army on a large scale. This time, he was appointed by Pei Dun as a soldier, which gave him a chance to expand his army in an open and honest manner. At the same time, there is no better thing to train the troops than to spend their own money.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Lord Assassin Shi also took time out of his busy schedule to comfort everyone, which shows that Lord Assassin attaches great importance to the training of the new army. After everyone has taken the bounty, they should train well and master the ability to kill the enemy as soon as possible, so that the Hu people can defend their homeland when they come. This money is the hard-earned money paid by the people of Xuzhou, and now it is back in everyone's hands, I hope you can use it to support your family. ”

"Everyone, please thank Lord Thorn Shi for the reward!"

Wei Shuo's words immediately reminded many soldiers: Yes, Lord Shi's money didn't come out of thin air, and it wasn't all the people's fat and people's ointment that were scavenged from us, and we were grateful to him just now! Bah! If he hadn't issued orders randomly, would Lao Tzu have been arrested as a Qiu Ba?

Thinking of this, the soldiers suddenly lost their interest, and shouted a little absentmindedly: "Thank you, Lord Thorn Shi!" ”

Pei Dun's face was very ugly, but he couldn't accuse Wei Shuo of saying something wrong, because what Wei Shuo said was the truth. All the wealth of the family is basically obtained by plundering the wealth of the lower classes. But he never expected that Wei Shuo would dare to point out all this in front of everyone.

It can be said that the little prestige he had just established has also disappeared. Wei Shuo's prestige among the recruits remained unshakable.

"Lord Wei, the main purpose of this Assassin is to check the military training of the recruits, I wonder how the recruits are trained?" Someone asked maliciously.

"I'm sorry, but the recruits haven't started their training yet."

"What? Lord Wei, is this how you repay Lord Pei's trust? Master Pei does not dislike your low background, and entrusts you with high-ranking officials, hoping that you can quickly rectify the soldiers and horses in Xuzhou, in order to resist the threat of the Hu people at hand. I didn't expect you to be so slack, it's just dereliction of duty! A mid-ranking officer reprimanded with righteousness.

"How do you know that this officer is derelict in his duties?" Wei Shuo looked at each other with some amusement.

As if he had grasped something, the middle-ranking officer asked loudly: "Isn't it a dereliction of duty for you to mingle with a group of ruffians all day long if you don't hurry up to train the soldiers?" ”

In the face of the provocation of his colleagues, Pei Dun, who also swore to support him a few days ago, was indifferent when he saw this situation, and he had no intention of relieving Wei Shuo at all. For Pei Dun's performance, Wei Shuo was a little surprised. I don't know what went wrong in the middle, it will make Pei Dun's attitude towards him change a lot.

I saw him stand up calmly, walked up to Pei Dun and said, "Lord Pei, although I haven't trained the recruits these days, I have never neglected my duties. If you feel that you are incompetent, you can remove me from my official position and let me go back to Laoshan. ”

Although Pei Dun was a little suspicious of Wei Shuo, he would never withdraw Wei Shuo at this time. Now that the catastrophe in Xuzhou is coming, he knows that at this time, only Wei Shuo can help him turn the tide. I saw him smile and said: "The two of you are serious, since this official has appointed Wei Shuo as the soldier of the Assassin Mansion, there is no reason to give up halfway." ”

"As we all know, the Hu people are about to invade the south, and Xuzhou urgently needs strong troops to protect its own safety, and Lord Wei, your recent behavior will inevitably make people suspicious. If you want to dispel people's doubts about you, it is best to have some evidence. ”

"That is, if you are not negligent in your duties, please show evidence!"

Wei Shuo lowered his head and pondered for a while, then raised his head to look directly at the questioning officer and said, "Then why don't we make another bet!" ”

"Bet!?" Somehow, when everyone heard that Wei Shuo was going to make a bet, they suddenly felt a little lacking in confidence. At the beginning, Wei Shuo relied on betting to get to the position, but now he suddenly proposed to bet again, but no one dared to agree.

Wei Shuo despised these rotten aristocratic bureaucrats from the bottom of his heart, in fact, the nobles of all dynasties and dynasties would go through the process of rising to declining, but it was really jaw-dropping that the nobles of the Wei and Jin dynasties fell so quickly.

"What? Don't you dare? In that case, let me show the results of the last few days from another angle, and let Lord Thorn Shi see with his own eyes whether he is derelict in his duties, and ask your lord to administer justice for you. Wei Shuo said proudly.

What Wei Shuo showed everyone was very simple, it was just to make the recruits fight against the escort again. It's just that the performance of the recruits in this confrontation really surprised many people. Although the recruits are still far from the escort team in terms of military appearance, the recruits have made great progress compared to the last time in terms of momentum, at least no one is so frightened that they lost their weapons and fled as last time.

At this time, everyone had nothing to say, and Pei Dun had to pinch his nose to praise Wei Shuo, but in order to avoid the concentration of military power in the hands of Wei Shuo alone, he allowed other officers to form a few new battalions. At the same time, in order to appease Wei Shuo, Pei Dun expanded the number of troops under his command to 3,000 people.
