Yuan Mai believes that different people should be treated in different ways, before chasing Hao Zhao under the moon, courtesy Wang Shuang, and now tepid about recruitment, all of which are the same reason.

Hao Zhao and Wang Shuang have a strong degree of uncertainty, they are both in opposition, and they may either work for the Yuan family or defect to other princes.

And as a traverser, Yuan Mai knew that the two of them were more likely to defect to Cao Cao, so he had to act like a corporal of Lixian, and he had to do his best to win them over, otherwise he could only watch these two work for the Cao family.

And the current Zhao is different from Hao and Wang, and Zhao is already a county lieutenant under Yuan Shao, which shows that he recognizes Yuan Shao's power and is willing to serve the Yuan family, even if the county lieutenant is just a low-level official position, he can be willing to take it, if he is given a chance to climb up, I believe that he will not refuse!

Sometimes it is better to retreat and move forward, and to try to get away with it. Yuan Mai told himself in his heart that if he wanted to be the king and hegemon in this troubled world, he must slowly learn the way of controlling people.

"Hehe, thanks to Childe's love, Zhao is very happy, but I don't know what kind of messenger Childe wants to recruit?"

Zhao looked at Yuan Mai with a smile, and did not show a very eager look.

It's just that I know that this is not what I really think in my heart. He has already done enough for this county lieutenant, and has been looking forward to a chance to get ahead, and now the opportunity has finally been sent to the door, but he feels that he needs to be reserved, he is too keen on chasing fame, and he will be despised by this Yuan Gongzi.

Yuan Mai secretly scolded "cunning" in his heart, but he didn't answer the question of pulling the trick directly, and asked: "I don't know what kind of messenger does the lead Zijing want?" Taishou or Thorn History? ”

Just now, it was to retreat, but now it is to retreat. Yuan Mai thought to himself, I want to see how you answer the Sutra?

Sure enough, Zhao Zhao was confused by Yuan Mai's words, but he didn't expect that this son was young and had such a city government, and he couldn't help but be a little flustered in his heart, lest he miss the opportunity to climb high, so he hurriedly collected Fang Cai's arrogance and tactfulness, and said respectfully: "How dare Zhao have such extravagant hopes, as long as he can follow Gongzi to serve in front of the saddle, Zhao is willing to give up this county lieutenant and go with you." ”

"Haha...... I see that you are a talent, follow me, you may really be able to achieve the position of Taishou in the future, if you follow me back, I will definitely ask you to join the army in front of my father. ”

Seeing that Hao Zhao softened, Yuan Mai hurriedly comforted him with kind words, and slapped a date to eat, which is the most clever way to control people.

After listening to Yuan Mai's words, Zhao immediately knelt down on one knee and thanked him: "Thank you for the grace of Gongzi, Zhao is willing to follow Gongzi to serve left and right." ”

The role of the county lieutenant was equivalent to that of a county public security bureau in later generations, mainly responsible for local security, arresting those who committed adultery, and cracking down on small groups of bandits, which had little prospect.

Joining the army is different, the staff officer in a unit, in this troubled era, wants to make a contribution, and fighting in the army is the fastest shortcut, obviously the future of a person joining the army is much brighter than that of a county lieutenant.

"Okay, let's have a drink!"

Seeing that he was obedient to his own training, looking at the three capable generals in front of him, Yuan Mai was full of pride in his heart, and a magnificent picture of hegemony appeared in front of him, as if winning the world was just around the corner, raising the bowl and loudly beckoning everyone to drink.

Not long ago, he was still an unknown and nominal son of the Yuan family; Now, he already has outstanding generals such as Hao Zhao, Wang Shuang, and Zhao Zhao under his hands, this is the benefit that the crossing brings to himself.

The next day, when the sun rose.

Yuan Mai took Hao Zhao, Wang Shuang, and the three generals of Zhaozhao, as well as forty or fifty followers, and drove more than 300 horses towards Yecheng. The battlefield has been cleared by the Lu County officers, the corpses are buried on the spot, and the blood stains on Funiu Ridge have dried up.

Tang Huan originally planned to follow him to Yecheng, but was ordered by Wang Shuang to take more than a dozen field soldiers who were unwilling to join the army to protect the women and children in the horse farm to return to their hometown. Yuan Mai didn't have much of a good impression of him, no more than him, no less than him, and he didn't say much.

Before leaving, Hao Zhao suggested setting a fire to burn down the horse farm, lest this well-fortified fence become a lair for bandits.

A fire ignited, and it didn't take long for the raging fire to engulf the horse farm, and the horse farm that the Wang family had operated in Lu County for many years was reduced to ashes.

More than 100 miles away, most of the day arrived, in the evening, Yuan Mai with his entourage, drove the horses into the camp of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

In two or three days, all the 10,000 people allocated by Yuan Shang had been in place, and in stark contrast to the improvement of the quality of the soldiers, Yuan Shang still did not resolutely implement his father's arrangement, and still selected 1,000 inferior horses to be sent to the camp of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

However, the so-called inferior quality is relative, these horses are the worst horses selected by Yuan Shang among the 12,000 war horses in his hands, not inferior horses in the absolute sense, it is still okay to fight on the battlefield, but compared to Gongsun Zhan's white horse Yicong, and Cao Cao's newly formed tiger and leopard horse, it is a world of difference.

Hearing that Yuan Mai led people to bring back a large number of good horses, Koi Yi and Tian Fengle were broken, and ran to Yuan Mai's personal barracks to see the horses, only to see that more than 300 horses were of the highest quality, and Koi Yi immediately proposed to enrich all the horses into the cavalry.

"Okay, these horses are coming back to enrich the team, but I have one condition."

Yuan Mai's brain was spinning, and he immediately made up his mind, took Koji Yi and Tian Feng into his Chinese army tent, and put forward conditions.

"Okay, if you have any conditions, just say that as long as you can do it, I will definitely agree."

Koji Yi rubbed the scar on his cheek, and while pondering what conditions Yuan Mai wanted to propose, Hetian Feng sat on both sides of the main general's table.

Hao Zhao, Wang Shuang, and the three of them, as well as the henchmen brought by Liyi, stood on both sides, waiting for dispatch.

Yuan Mai glanced at Lu Yi: "My condition is that all the princes under me will serve as the commander of the cavalry!" ”

"Uh...... This can't work, if you want to command a cavalry team of 1,000 people, at least at the level of a general, these people under your command, the highest position is a military captain, how can you be a cavalry commander! ”

As soon as he heard that Yuan Mai was going to rob the cavalry of the military power, Lu Yi immediately quit and loudly rejected Yuan Mai's proposal, in this case, he would be too loser. You must know that the cavalry team is too important, and that would not be the core of the army handed over to others.

"Humph!"

Yuan Mai's face suddenly turned cold, he snorted coldly from his nose, and glared at Koji Yi angrily: "Yesterday, the person with the highest position under my command was a captain, which does not mean that there will be no generals in my army tomorrow." Besides, leading troops to fight depends on ability, right? Is it a position? ”

Koji Yi didn't do it anyway, and he wasn't a fool, so he stood up and said, "No, no, I just can't say no!" Mai Gongzi is just a supervisor, I am the main general, and the personnel arrangement must be decided by me. I don't want your horse, you can keep it for yourself......"

Koji Yoshi's head shook like a rattle, and he was about to leave as he spoke......

"Peng" sounded......

Yuan Mai slapped the table case heavily, thinking that it should be time to give Liyi a dismissal, and let him again, I am afraid that this guy will be arrogant and arrogant, and the problem of no one in his eyes will be committed again. Besides, there are now Wang Shuang, Hao Zhao and other three people on his side, and if he really starts to do it, he is afraid that he will not succeed......

"Stop!"

Yuan Mai got up and drank majestically.

Koji Yi pretended not to hear, lowered his head and wanted to leave, and said in his heart that he had known this, why bother to provoke him, if he didn't make the cavalry team of 1,000 people snatched away by him, it was really a waste of chickens and rice!

Seeing that Lu Yi turned a deaf ear to his words, Yuan Mai glanced at Wang Shuang, Hao Zhao and the others, and motioned to stop them.

Wang Shuang nodded, quickly rushed out of the Chinese army's big tent, raised his "Tiger Roar" big knife, greeted Fan Hu and Fan Bao brothers, blocked the gate of the tent, and said in a deep voice: "Didn't you hear General Yuan's words?" Whoever dares to go, leave his head behind! ”
