Sun Ce smiled and said, "Why are you kid, you won't fight if you don't have soldiers, right?" Su Feigu was ready to be appointed as the lieutenant of the northern region. In this way, Gusheng Gan Ning is the military Sima, Sun Shao is the Zhonglang, and all the subordinates will be under you. As for your headquarters, go and recruit yourself. ”

Qiao Ren thought about it in his heart, now he has about 3,000 soldiers and horses, all of whom are elite soldiers, and he can also recruit some Danyang elite soldiers by himself, and there is no problem in fighting just a few bandits. "Thank you, my lord. I don't know what happened to my subordinate officials. "The soldiers and horses are solved, but the staff team is still white.

"Hmm" Sun Ce thought about it carefully, Qiao Ren was only sixteen years old and didn't have much fame, so he couldn't recruit celebrities. "So be it! Lone appointed Zhang Yun as your chief bookkeeper and Bu Xiao as a separate driver. You can recruit the rest of the subordinate officials yourself. Sun Ce thought about the people under him, and appointed two famous men with both ability and political integrity in Wu County as Qiao Ren's subordinate officials.

"Zhang Yun." Qiao Ren thought to himself, isn't this the governor of Jingzhou's navy? And Lu Su on the side saw Qiao Ren's puzzled face, and played the role of an encyclopedia. "This Zhang Yunai is a famous man in Wu County, not the one in Jingzhou."

Sun Ce thought of something again, and said, "Your current new capital Taishou is only a lonely appointment. If you want to stay until next year, you want to let Gongjin raise you as filial piety, and then send someone to Xu Du to ask for the seal, so that you can be justified. After saying Qiao Ren's matter, a flash of fire flashed in Sun Ce's eyes. It seems that Sun Ce did not come to Changsha just to announce his appointment. "Ziyan, where is Old General Huang?"

Hearing Sun Ce ask Huang Zhong, Qiao Ren had no choice but to smile bitterly: "Lord, since the opening of the city, General Huang has not seen outsiders in his home. Ren had only seen him a few times with Uncle Zhang. "Huang Zhong, this old man, is stubborn and competitive. However, the mind of making contributions is very heavy and he does not accept old age, otherwise Zhuge Liang in the next generation will only use his old age to provoke him, and he will explode the small universe. Now that Sun Ce has come to invite him personally, there is a great chance of being effective, but Huang Xu is a problem.

Thinking of this, Qiao Ren planned to tell the truth: "Lord, General Huang's surname is Ge Gangyi, but his loyalty is unparalleled. The old lord has an old relationship with him, and if he uses the old feelings to greet him, he will definitely help the lord and the public to do great things. It's better to invite one of the three old generals to come" "Haha" Qiao Ren was only halfway through his words, and he was interrupted before he could reach **, but when he heard the voice of the person, Qiao Ren didn't dare to be angry at all.

"Qiao Boy hasn't seen a lot of knowledge in a few months, and he actually thought of going with Zhou Dudu." I saw a veteran about forty years old, wearing gold armor with double whips hanging from his waist and striding into the middle hall, regardless of Sun Ce, he went directly to Qiao Ren, and slapped his left hand on Qiao Ren's shoulder, and the slap collapsed. The corners of Gan Ning's mouth twitched when he saw it. After that, the veteran greeted Sun Ce. "The last general, Huang Gai, has seen the young master." The old man was Huang Gai, one of the three veterans that Qiao Ren had just talked about. For Huang Gai, Sun Ce was quite respectful and returned a salute.

"Boy Qiao, I don't know where my brother is?" After Huang Gai saw Sun Ce, he asked Qiao Ren again. However, Qiao Ren just wanted to reply, "Who is your brother?" "But I really don't dare, Huang Gai was his teacher when he practiced martial arts in Sun Mansion. In the past, when he was practicing martial arts, he was very tidy by Huang Gai, but now Qiao Ren has no temper at all in the face of him.

Seeing Qiao Ren's face with the look of your clan brother, Huang Gai was not angry and said: "It's the fault of a certain family, my clan brother is the old general Huang you said." "Both of you are General Huang, and everyone in the hall is complaining." The ancestor of the family was Nanyang Taishou Huang Zilian, and later a grandfather moved to Lingling. Brother Hansheng is the one who stayed in Nanyang, in the past, when he and Hansheng were in Nanyang to discuss the yellow scarf, they had already continued the genealogy, and Brother Hansheng was the brother of a certain clan. ”

It turns out that although the Nanyang Huang clan is not as good as the Xiangyang Huang clan, it is the hope of the state and county, but it is also a prestigious family. At the end of the Han Dynasty, the concept of family was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the brothers were very close to each other. For example, Cao Ying's individual brothers, after Cao Ying's unification of the northern officials and worship the prime minister, they still called him to express his words.

"Oh. In this way, the two old generals Huang are still clansmen. It just so happened that Ren Bucai was willing to lead the way and take the lord and General Huang to the Huang Mansion. Qiao Ren said and led the way forward. Hey, Uncle Zhang Shi is also from Nanyang. I don't know if the three of them get together and talk about a lot of topics? ”

Huang Zhong's residence was an extremely ordinary house, no different from the houses where ordinary people lived. Qiao Ren stepped forward and knocked on the door, and it was a middle-aged woman who looked peaceful, but there was a little worry between her eyebrows. Seeing that the outsider was Qiao Ren, and then there was a young man in a purple Hou suit, and there was a husband of his own age, and the veteran Meiyu always had a sense of déjà vu.

"Jen has seen his uncle." Zhang Ji is commensurate with Huang Zhong's brothers, and he is also close to Qiao's father. Naturally, Huang Zhong also rose to the status of an uncle, and Qiao Ren was still thinking about how to let Mrs. Huang let them in. Huang Gai on the side shouted directly.

"I've seen my sister-in-law."

"You are," although there was déjà vu between Mei Yu, Mrs. Huang was not sure who it was.

"Sister-in-law smiled, it was Huang Gai. Ten years ago, I often looked for my brother to drink in Nanyang. "Generally speaking, the guy who pulls his husband out for a drink in the middle of the night is the easiest to remember.

"It turned out to be my own brother!" Huang Gai and Huang Zhong continued the family tree, of course, they are their own brothers. "Who is this Hou Ye?"

Huang Gai heard the words and said: "This is the young master of a certain family, the eldest son of General Sun in the past. "It's not that Huang Gaituo is big, but Sun Jian, and Mrs. Huang have also seen it, so it's more humane to talk about it.

"It turned out to be Wu Hou, and the old man has seen Wu Hou." said that he was about to give a salute, but was stopped by Sun Ce. "Bo Fu has seen his uncle." Sun Ce gave a salute first. Mrs. Huang had no choice but to give up, and the outside of the house was full of regular customers and old acquaintances, and Mrs. Huang directly took the person to the main hall.

Huang Zhong's mansion is very small, and the main hall is only a ten-square-meter room, which is much shabby compared to the atmospheric main hall of the Han Dynasty.

"My husband and Mr. Zhang are in Xu'er's bedroom, so you can rest for a while. I'm going to call him. Unexpectedly, Zhang Ji also looked forward to this meeting more and more in Qiao Ren's heart.

Everyone waited for less than half a moment before they heard a hearty laugh from outside the hall. "Haha. Publicizing the old brother. The three of them looked out and saw that Huang Zhong and Zhang Ji were both wearing linen short clothes and coming side by side. It was Huang Zhong who spoke just now.

"I haven't seen my brother for many years, and I want to kill my brother." Huang Gai recognized Huang Zhong at a glance, and grabbed Huang Zhong with a bear hug as soon as he stepped forward. said that the two of them were actually more powerful, but Huang Gai couldn't hold on for a minute before he could hold on. "My brother's strength is good." It's rare that Huang Zhong got cheap and behaved, "Brother's strength, I won't be an opponent if I give it another ten years." ”

It seems that compared to strength, Huang Gai has never won against Huang Zhong. "Oh, brother, I'll introduce this person..." "Zhong has seen Wu Hou" Before Huang Gai finished speaking, Huang Zhong saluted Sun Ce. Sun Ce originally looked very similar to Sun Jian, and now who else can wear a marquis in Changsha besides Sun Ce. Seeing that Huang Zhong was the first to give a salute, Sun Ce quickly dodged away, and only received a half-salute. said to Huang Zhong again: "Ce, I've seen my uncle." ”

One sentence stunned Huang Zhong, he Huang Zhong and Sun Jian have a good relationship, but unlike Huang Gai, he has not yet reached the point of being called a brother. "Although this Marquis Wu is young, Corporal Zhijie is a hero."

"I've seen Wu Hou." Zhang Ji's words interrupted Huang Zhong's infinite reverie.
