049 Back to the old place
Suddenly found that because the drunkard was greatly off the list, the apprentice entered the second place on the second-level new book list, and there were still more than 2,000 points away from the strong son, so the apprentice was impulsive~
MD can't be !! This week, it will continue to explode, with four chapters guaranteed in one day, and five more on Saturday and Sunday! Brothers who have flowers also come to vote over, I really don't ask for it next week~~~
Unexpectedly, this dividend actually sent as much as 3,000 gold, and the business strength of the Zhen family couldn't help but surprise Wen Yuan, Wen Yuan thought that his Xiuwen Academy was being built, and his heart moved, and a whimsical idea suddenly came to his mind.
After thinking about it for a while, Wen Yuan spoke: "Old man, I have something unclear and want to ask the old gentleman for advice. ”
Steward Zhen waved his hand again and again in fear: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be!" Adults, please ask, the villain must know everything, and say everything. ”
Wen Yun said with a smile: "I heard that all the big families live in the dock fort are prosperous, the craftsmen and shops are all available, and the Zhen family is rich and well-established, presumably there must be a lot of skilled craftsmen in the fort, right?" ”
Seeing Lord Taishou ask about this, Steward Zhen couldn't help but have a trace of pride on his face, and he smiled and said: "Other villains don't dare to boast, if I say that I am in Zhenjiawu Fort, it is really a skilled craftsman, with everything, three religions and nine streams, everything." ”
Wen Yuan was overjoyed and said with a smile, "Oh? I don't know that your lord can be in Zhongshan at this time, and I haven't seen you for almost a year, and I want to visit recently. ”
Steward Zhen was overjoyed and said: "My lord is willing to come to the Zhen family, which is the luck of my Zhen family!" My master is at home, and if he hears this, he will be waiting for him! ”
Wen Yuan got up with a smile and said, "In this way, I will bother the old man to go back and spread the word first, saying that Zhang Liao will visit in ten days." ”
Steward Zhen hurriedly bowed down and said, "Don't dare, don't dare!" The little one will go back quickly and tell my master. ”
Sending away Steward Zhen, Wen Yuan began to prepare for the northward trip to Zhongshan, anyway, the important work of Julu at this stage has already started, and he doesn't need to worry about it anymore, and this time he went north to Zhongshan, if he can cooperate with the Zhen family to negotiate a deal, it will be greatly beneficial to Julu's future development!
So before leaving, Wen Yuan did his homework, recruited a few craftsmen in the city, and worked hard for three days without leaving home, before he was satisfied with rewarding these craftsmen and letting them leave.
Three days later, Wen Yuan led Zhang Yu and 300 relatives to ride out of the north gate of Ghoutao, all the way through Yang's and Xiaquyang, and went to Zhongshan Wuji.
When passing by Xiaquyang, Wen Yuan deliberately ordered the guards to fill their feet and carefully observe the changes here.
Xiaquyang used to be the place where Wenyuan first came to Hebei, and now although Wenyuan has become a county guard, he still can't help but feel a little emotional.
I remember a year ago, he set up a real army of his own here, every day with the soldiers to practice, together with the wasteland farming, every inch of land in Quyang is condensed with his hard work and sweat, now, he has a wider sky, and Xiaquyang, still like a shining sun, to provide themselves with an endless stream of energy and power.
The 3,000 sergeants who walked out of Xiaquyang have now become the backbone of the 30,000 Julu Army, and 80% of the middle and lower-level officers in the army are all from the Xiaquyang line, and almost all of Wenyuan's 300 personal horsemen are also from here.
This is Wenyuan's second hometown, and he hasn't returned for eight months, and Wenyuan can't help but be excited.
Speaking of personal horses, since the defeat of the Black Mountain thieves, Wen Yuan felt that the casualties of the personal guards during the foot war, coupled with the capture of nearly a thousand war horses after the war, Wen Yuan gave all the personal guards under his command horses, and now these personal guards are familiar with riding for a month, although they can't all fight on horses, but if they are just marching, they are safe.
When he was thirty miles away from the city, he saw a neat array of soldiers and horses in the north, standing beside the road, as the first general, wearing a helmet and crown, it was Zhang Nan.
It turned out that Zhang Nan had heard that the lord was going to pass through Xiaquyang, so he led the army out of the camp early and waited here.
At this time, seeing Wenyuan's people arriving, Zhang Nan flew to greet him, stayed in front of him, rolled the saddle and dismounted, knelt on one knee and said: "The last general Zhang Nan, meet the lord!" ”
After not seeing him for eight months, Zhang Nan seemed to have lost some weight, obviously because he was in charge of a local military and political affairs, and he suffered a lot until June, when Wen Yuan sent a new county order to Xia Quyang, he was relieved.
However, looking at Zhang Nan's still resolute eyes, Wen Yuan felt a heat in his heart, dismounted and helped Zhang Nan up, and then came to a bear hug that he had not seen for a long time, and said, "Good brother!" ”
Although he knew that it was the lord's trust in himself to let him stay in Quyang, but he couldn't go out with the army to fight in the tiger prison, Zhang Nan still held back a stomach of resentment, this resentment could not be vented to the lord, Zhang Nan could only train the 2,400 soldiers who stayed in Quyang in his spare time, as long as he watched the soldier not pay attention to the drill on weekdays, he stepped forward to be a military stick, so that the sergeant in Quyang saw Zhang Nan during the drill as if he saw the king of Hades, and did not dare to be careless.
Fortunately, although Zhang Nan is not angry in his heart, he is not a violent person, otherwise he would not have entrusted Wenyuan with a heavy responsibility, although the drill is strict, but he is very good at mastering proportions, plus the military household division system is extremely binding on the soldiers, no one wants to be expelled from the military household registration because they can't support the rigorous training, and there are Xuanxiang officials in the army who relieve them from time to time, but nothing major happened, but the two thousand four hundred auxiliary soldiers who stayed behind were trained into a screaming elite!
Now Wen Yuan's sentence of "good brother" has completely eliminated the resentment in Zhang Nan's heart, Zhang Nan only felt that the heart was hot, and the dignified man who was more than seven feet tall had uncontrollable tears.
"I've wronged you! Brothers! Xiaquyang is our foundation place, if there is no old and trustworthy person to lead the army, I really don't worry! Wen Yuan couldn't feel Zhang Nan's excitement at this time, he was also excited, he patted Zhang Nan's back, put his shoulder on his shoulder, and personally sent him on the horse, and then said: "Okay! I haven't seen you for eight months, let me take a good look at the army you trained! ”
Zhang Nan put away his tears, patted his chest proudly and said, "Lord, just look at it!" Please get on board! ”
Wen Yuan happily got on the horse and went first, Zhang Nan walked on the right side, half a horse behind Wen Yuan, and after that, three hundred relatives rode in formation.
Wen Yuan's pro-guard army is all selected from 30,000 soldiers, and everyone must be proficient in at least two skills in bows and arrows, spearmanship, and swords and shields, and have at least the middle or above military ranks, even if they are placed in the ranks of soldiers, they can at least secure the position of even more than the chief.
It can be said that these three hundred guards are the proudest existence in the entire Julu 30,000 army, and being able to join this army represents the greatest honor for the Julu soldiers!
Now this pro-army is walking behind Wen Yuan and Zhang Nan, wearing a brand-new fiery red suit, a crown armor, the black and bright armor leaves reflect the cold brilliance, and the majestic war horse under the crotch snorts from time to time.
And the faces of the three hundred pro-riders were engraved with fortitude, and their eyes were full of arrogance that swept everything, as if even if there was a big mountain in front of them, they could push the mountain down and let the lord pass safely!
With such a strong army and such equipment, how could it not be the envy of the more than 2,000 sergeants in Quyang.
Zhang Nan's expression was solemn, and he raised his right hand and shouted: "Stand!" ”
"Drink!" More than 2,000 Quyang soldiers shouted in unison as if they were conditioned reflexes, and the sound shook the sky!
In just an instant, the momentum of the Xia Quyang army soared, and the air was suddenly filled with a solemn aura, and the sergeants' faces were tense one by one, their eyes did not squint, and their bodies stood upright like pine, and even Wen Yuan's three hundred personal guards were stunned when they saw it!
