"Hehe, three little brothers, you are tired of leaving, go to the courtyard and have a drink, and other things will be discussed later."

At this time, it was noon, and Zhao Fan saw that Xu Jia and the others were sweating profusely, and couldn't help but speak out. "Yes, yes, let's go have a glass of wine first, I said you three boys too, what are you doing on this hot day, I just said to look for you." Li Mu led Xu Jia and the others into the courtyard, and said as he walked.

At this moment, Zhang Zhi and Lin Hu were unexpectedly not shouting, they looked at Zhao Fan, with a trace of strangeness and admiration in their eyes, but Xu Jia, with a calm face, did not look different.

"Brother Li Mu, I heard that your brother-in-law not only taught Jiao Hei and them a lesson two days ago, but last night, he made a plan to raid Jiao Hei and others, killing all these bullies, are these things true?" Zhang Zhi's surname was the most anxious, he pulled Li Mu and whispered in his ear.

Li Mu glanced at him a few times, knowing that the incident of last night had been spread, and he did not hide it at the moment, and told the cause and effect of the matter.

"That Xu Jia is quite good, but in history, there seems to be no record of this person." Zhao Fan leisurely glanced at the scenery in the courtyard, he didn't care about the strange expressions of Zhang Zhi and Lin Hu, but Xu Jia's calm expression made him quite surprised.

Although Zhao Fan cared a little about this person in his heart, he didn't show it on the surface.

After listening to Li Mu's words, Zhang Zhi and Lin Hu's eyes flashed with admiration, and they laughed heartily: "I didn't expect Brother Zhao Fan to be so good, last night's behavior of killing Jiao Hei has spread all over Bairen City, and everyone is cheering for you." ”

Zhao Fan smiled and said indifferently: "Eliminating evil and promoting good is what each of us should do, so there is nothing to praise, everyone still goes to the house to drink the bar." ”

After Zhao Fan finished speaking, he took the lead in the house, and behind him, Li Mu and the others also followed, and that Xu Jia glanced at Zhao Fan thoughtfully, not knowing what he was thinking.

The five of them walked into the front hall and sat on the ground, Zhao Fan poured a lot of wine, and didn't speak, just played with the wine cup gently, because he knew that Li Mu had something to say.

"Brother-in-law, three brothers, let's have a good drink, and in the future, I don't know how long it will be before we get together again for a drink." Li Mu raised his wine glass and said loudly to the four of them.

Hearing this, Zhang Zhi and Lin Hu were slightly stunned, and then said in surprise: "Brother Li Mu, what do you mean I don't know how long it will take to get together again to drink?" Are you going to go far these days? ”

"My father asked me to go to Cloudsdale to be a soldier, and I don't know how long it will take to come back." Li Mu raised his neck and drank the wine in the cup, and then said in a low voice.

The two of them were stunned, and their eyebrows were a little gloomy, but they didn't say anything to keep them, because they knew that Li Mu's ambition was here, and they all understood the truth that their father's order could not be violated.

Zhao Fan silently looked at the expressions of the two in his eyes, and seeing that they didn't make a sound, he couldn't help but shake his head at the moment, and then turned his gaze to Xu Jia.

Zhao Fan knew that Xu Jia was quite different from ordinary people, and he also had some hope in his heart at the moment, but when he glanced at Xu Jia, he saw the latter sitting on the seat, holding the lamp in his hand, and his eyes were slightly closed, as if he was asleep.

Seeing this scene, Rao was surnamed Zhao Fan, who had always been calm, and he couldn't help but feel a little angry, he took a sip of wine lightly, and when he was about to speak, he saw Xu Jia's eyes suddenly open, just colliding with Zhao Fan's sight.

Zhao Fan was slightly startled, and the words in his mouth couldn't help but swallow back.

Xu Jia's eyes burst out with a fine light, he smiled at Zhao Fan incomprehensibly, and then said, "Brother Li Mu, what are your plans in mind when you go to Cloud City this time?" ”

"Plans? Naturally, he helped his father lead the troops to fight, swept away the Hu people, and made meritorious contributions. Li Mu was slightly stunned and said subconsciously.

"Fighting with troops? I've heard that it's not so easy to lead troops into battle, not to mention that when you go there, you're just a lowly-level non-commissioned soldier, and if you want to be promoted to a general and lead a soldier, you don't know how long it will take. Xu Jia smiled slightly.

Hearing this, Li Mu opened his mouth, he didn't know what to say, he just thought that he could become a general and lead soldiers when he went to Cloud City, how could he have thought that it would be so troublesome, a young and vigorous teenager like them, which one would be willing to be a pawn?

Although his father is the county guard of Yunzhong County and is in charge of the military and political power of a county, Li Mucai does not dare to expect that his selfless father will give his son any privileges? For as early as the very beginning, his father had told him that when he went to Cloudsdale, he was not allowed to let others know that he was his son, lest his subordinates treat him differently.

"Ordinary soldiers are ordinary soldiers, and I, Li Mu, will never rely on my father to be promoted." Li Mu said loudly, his eyes were clear, and there was nothing wrong with him.

Zhao Fan glanced at him appreciatively, he really deserved to be one of the four famous generals of the Warring States, none of them were easy to match, even if he was still young now, but a famous general is a famous general, you can never treat him as Zhao Kuo on paper.

Seeing Li Mu's righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, Xu Jia was not in a hurry, and said with a smile: "The barracks is not such an easy place to live, there, the officers wantonly oppress the soldiers, the veterans gang up to oppress the recruits, and the soldiers form gangs and factions to fight openly and secretly, Brother Li Mu, you go alone, I'm afraid it will ......."

Zhao Fan was slightly taken aback, this Xu Jia is just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, how can he understand so much?

Li Mu is not a careless person, he saw that Xu Jia had something to say, and he couldn't help but ask directly: "Xu Jia, if you have anything to say, just say it directly, how many brothers do we have, what else do we need to go around?" ”

Xu Jia took a sip of wine unhurriedly, set his eyes on Zhang Zhi and Lin Hu, who were also a little confused, and said with a smile: "What? Don't you two want to go to Cloudsdale with Brother Li Mu to show off your skills and make contributions? ”

Hearing Xu Jia get to the point, Zhao Fan's heart also moved slightly, and he observed Zhang Zhi and Lin Hu without moving, seeing how they reacted.

I saw that Zhang Zhi and Lin Hu's eyes suddenly lit up, but then they dimmed again, and said with a wry smile: "Shibo is the county guard of Yunzhong County, so Zhang Ruicai sold Brother Li Mu's face and allowed him to go to Yunzhong City, several of us are orphans, where is Zhang Rui willing to release people?" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Fan was also stunned, and then he reacted, during the Warring States Period, the war was continuous, and various countries tried their best to expand the source of troops and implement a new military service system in order to meet the needs of the annexation war. During this period, the county conscription system was widely implemented in the land of Zhao.

The establishment of the county conscription system and the establishment of the local administrative organization of the county was the basis for the Zhao State to implement the conscription system. Zhao's conscription system relied on the widespread establishment of counties and counties. Because of the establishment of the county system, which facilitated the centralized rule of the monarch, the entire population was registered in the state. When a man reaches the age of the year, he must register his name, which is called "Fu" or "Fu", and "Fu" is "attached", which means that the name is attached to the household registration about the age of the Zhao man's Fu nationality, and there is a lack of clear records in the literature. "Warring States Policy: Chu Ce II" contains that Sima Zhaochang, the great Sima Zhao of Chu Dongdi, "knows five feet to sixty, more than 300,000" to resist the Qi army, and "five feet" refers to an adult child who is about fifteen years old; "Qin Jian: Chronicles" records that he was "Fu" at the age of seventeen. It can be inferred from this that the age of the Zhao man's Fu nationality is probably sixteen or seventeen years old. Military service is compulsory at any time from the age of sixteen or seventeen, and is exempt from military service after the age of sixty.

Zhao used counties as conscription units, and in general wars, only strong men from counties and counties near the battlefield were often recruited to participate in the war, and counties that were not close to the battlefield were not often recruited, so that they could recuperate and recuperate in case of accidents.

In the area of Bairen City, there have been no battles in recent years, so even young people such as Zhao Fan and others who are eighteen or nineteen years old have never entered the military camp and participated in the war.

However, on the Fu book of Bairen City, there are names of themselves and others, as long as there is a war here, they will have to participate in the war immediately.

"This ...... It turns out that you all want to go to Cloudsdale with me, although I am also very willing, but what should Zhang Rui and my father do? After Li Mu knew what Xu Jia and the others meant, there was also a hint of hope in his heart, he and the three of them had been playing since childhood, and it would be great if they could go to Cloudsdale together, but it would ......
