Everything went according to plan, and Yuan Mai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

I went back to my courtyard and rested for an hour, and when I woke up, it was almost dusk.

He got up and went to Yuan Shao, and reported that Yuan Xi was afraid of long nights and dreams, so he had led his subordinates to leave Yecheng, saying that he would wait until he received Liyi's team to come back to complete the wedding.

Yuan Shao was quite surprised by Yuan Mai's words, and didn't understand that the second son happily agreed to the wedding a few days later, and promised to go to Yanmen after the marriage, but somehow in a blink of an eye, he suddenly changed his mind?

"Alas, maybe Xianyi has been pressed by the boss and the third for too long, so when he has the opportunity to have a force that really belongs to him at this moment, he can't wait for a moment. Let him go! ”

Yuan Shao sighed, said that he knew, and then waved his hand to let Yuan Mai retreat.

was not found by Yuan Shao, a stone in Yuan Mai's heart finally landed, turned around and retreated, and returned to his courtyard.

At this time, Xiao Qi had already returned from visiting his parents, and when he saw Yuan Mai getting up, he went to the dining room to cook for Yuan Mai.

While eating, Yuan Mai pondered in his heart for a while to see Zhen Mi, what kind of poems should he give to her, so that he would fall for his talent, and he would not marry?

After racking his brains and exhausting 13,827 cells, Yuan Mai finally brewed a masterpiece.

"Haha, that's it, I must let this beauty admire me, think about it!"

Yuan Mai laughed and got up, washing his face while talking to himself proudly.

"Childe, why are you smiling so today?"

Holding a towel, Xiao Qi, who was waiting on the side, finally couldn't help it, and sincerely threw out his own questions.

"Uh...... Is it yindang? It's just a man's true colors, you haven't grown all your hair, I don't understand! ”

Yuan Mai teased, wiped his face, hung the sword at his waist, carried the carved bow, carried the quiver, and strode out.

"Hey, Childe, are you going out again?"

Xiao Qi realized that Childe was no longer the otaku who didn't go out for half a month before, and he was faintly sad in his heart.

Yuan Mai laughed and went out, arrogant, "Of course, Childe, I am now the supervisor of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and I will never be as idle as before in the future!" ”

Looking at Yuan Mai's distant back, Xiao Qi pouted and complained: "Son, you are on the expedition, what should I do?" Wouldn't you be unemployed? But, though, you look so handsome with a bow and arrows on your back! ”

The horses galloped all the way to the camp of the Northern Expeditionary Army, which was located five miles northwest of Yecheng.

Hao Zhao went to recruit pro-soldiers for himself today, he couldn't ignore it, he wanted to go to the beauties, but at least he should come over and get to know the soldiers, and make a welcome speech or something to show respect.

Lu Yi is arrogant and arrogant, and even Yuan Mai is not very serious, not to mention Hao Zhao, a small military captain. sent someone to bring weapons and equipment to Hao Zhao, as well as grain, grass and salaries, and allocated another twenty horses, so Hao Zhao and his subordinates could solve the food by themselves.

Hao Zhao didn't bother to mix with the people of Kojiyi, so he was in the middle of it. I chose a few people with a slightly weak physique to be the fire head army, set up a stove, and made a fire to cook.

When Yuan Mai arrived, Hao Zhao was feasting with his brothers, raising a glass and drinking.

There were already 100 people who had no worries at home and packed their bags and came to the barracks to report for duty. Hao Zhao deeply understood the important surname of mingling with the soldiers, so he sat on the ground with the soldiers outside the tent, eating meat and drinking a lot, and drank happily one by one.

"Hey, Childe is here, don't eat, hurry up and pay homage to Childe."

Seeing Yuan Mai coming, Hao Zhao hurriedly put down the wine bowl in his hand, stood up and beckoned the newly recruited brothers to meet Yuan Mai.

All the soldiers agreed together, and formed a circle to salute Yuan Mai: "The villain and others see the son, and they are willing to serve the work of the dog and horse for the son, and go to the soup and fire, and do not hesitate!" ”

Looking at the soldiers of more than 100 people, most of them were sturdy men in their twenties, all of them with sturdy bodies and simple faces. Yuan Mai was very satisfied and affirmed Hao Zhao's work.

In the past, it was said that the overlord of Chu was based on 800 Jiangdong disciples and swept away the princes, although he finally collapsed, but the combat effectiveness of the soldiers was not to be taken lightly.

From now on, these people will follow themselves to dominate the world, become kings and defeat the king, and in the end, whether they are kings or cowards, these people are the most important.

"Okay, okay...... Yes, one by one, they are really alive. After buying, it is up to you brothers to make your career successful! ”

As a traverser, Yuan Mai naturally knew how to get closer to the soldiers. Putting on a high shelf, that's what the stupidest people do.

Seeing that Childe did not look high, the soldiers were overjoyed in their hearts, glad that they had finally followed the right person, and cheered in unison, shouting in unison, "Swear to protect Childe to the death." ”

Hao Zhao waved his hand, signaled the soldiers to continue eating, and then led Yuan Mai into the main general's tent set up by himself, and reported to Yuan Mai on the work situation.

"Yu Gongzi, today's recruitment situation is really smooth, with Lord Chen Lin's inscription, many people have come here. At the end of the day, more than 900 people signed up. ”

Hao Zhao asked Yuan Mai to sit behind the handsome case, handed over a bowl of tea, and reported today's results.

Yuan Mai nodded, very satisfied: "Very good, all this is your credit." I'll give you a great credit. However, my father told me to recruit 500 men, so that the surplus quota would be cut, so as not to give people the authority to say that we were ambitious and did not obey orders. ”

Hao Zhao knelt down next to the handsome case, nodded and said, "Zhao is exactly what he meant, after my selection, five hundred people have been selected." They are all hardcover men aged about eighteen to twenty-five, if there is some blood relationship, such as brothers, fathers and sons, nephews, uncles and nephews, etc., appropriately relaxed, what does the son think? ”

"Okay, fight the tiger brothers, go into battle father and son! Only then can there be combat effectiveness. "Yuan buys the auction in favor.

"Among these individuals, there is one named Jiang Cheng, whose ancestor is a horse breeder, has good riding skills, and has a lot of strength, and there is another named Xue Qin, who used to be a ranger and can make a good swordsmanship. Therefore, Zhao pondered promoting the two of them to be the tun chief, I don't know if it is possible? I'm going to call him and the two of them to see Gongzi recently, can you see if you can make it? ”

Hao Zhao spoke, and was about to get up and call these two people in for Yuan Mai to know.

"No need, these trivial matters, you can make your own decisions, you don't need to ask me."

Yuan Mai waved his hand and stopped Hao Zhao.

In this era, those who have some skills can leave their names in history, and those names that they have not heard of are estimated to be a centurion's material, and it doesn't matter if they don't look at them in front of famous generals.

Hao Zhao was very grateful for Yuan Mai's trust, and nodded: "Thank you Gongzi, Zhao will definitely live up to his trust." ”

"Well, you look at the team. I'll have to go home tonight, and when I'm done with the chores tomorrow, I'll officially move into the barracks. ”

After talking about the matter, seeing that it was completely dark outside, Yuan Mai got up and prepared to leave.

Seeing that Yuan Mai planned to return to the city alone, Hao Zhao was not at ease, and insisted on taking someone to escort him into the city: "It's getting late, Gongzi is afraid that he is in danger alone, Rong Zhao will take someone to escort you into the city." ”

Yuan Maitou shook like a rattle, and he would have to go to a tryst with the goddess later, how can he take you with him!

"No need, it's just three or five miles, it's just a moment. Besides, Childe, I am not a weak scholar who is helpless, you and the sergeants should rest. ”

Yuan Mai smiled confidently at Hao Zhao, slapped the carved bow behind him by the way, and said in his heart, I was not afraid of being in the wilderness last night, let alone a few miles away, can I make a big fuss?

Hao Zhao's temper was very stubborn, and he refused to let Yuan Mai go alone: "This team is responsible for the safety of Gongzi, if Gongzi doesn't need our escort, then simply disband, Zhao went home to hunt." Why waste military salaries in vain? ”

Looking at Hao Zhao's stubborn appearance, Yuan Mai had no choice, and people were kind, so they relied on him.

Shaking his head and smiling bitterly: "Okay, okay, then it's up to you to take someone to protect my son back to the city." ”

Seeing that Yuan Mai agreed, Hao Zhao breathed a long sigh of relief, and joked with a smile: "The responsibility of the small school, if you are lazy and lazy, and you are caught by the son for a reason, won't you die unjustly." ”

Seeing Hao Zhao's loyal and sincere appearance for his own sake, Yuan Mai's heart warmed, and he laughed and said: "You, you, you are really a bull, I will call you a bull in the future." ”

Hao Zhao and Yuan Mai looked at each other and laughed: "A bull is a bull, it's better than being beaten by a board!" ”
