With Wang Xu's words, the more than 5,500 sergeants in the audience did not make the slightest sound, and they all lowered their heads involuntarily, their faces full of guilt.

After slowly scanning the circle, Wang Xu took a deep breath, and then shouted loudly: "You are all elite, you are the best soldiers in the whole army, this is your glory." And you are gathered together, only unity can survive from the battlefield, only unity can be invincible. From today onwards, the slogan of all the Blue Dragon Knights is to never give up! No matter at any time, whether we charge or retreat, no matter how stubborn the enemy we face, we will never abandon our comrades. We want to create a myth and create a myth of our own! You will not only receive a reward, but also glory and dignity! ”

"Sue me! Did you hear that? ”

"I heard you!" Hearing Wang Xu's angry question, the soldiers replied in unison.

"Then you sue me, what is our slogan!"

"Never give up!" The sergeants suddenly replied in a loud voice.

"Louder! I can't hear you. Wang Xu frowned and shouted.

"Never give up!" This time, the sergeants were already shouting at the top of their lungs. The majestic voice was heard far away in the wilderness, and even the soldiers who were building the fortress there couldn't help but turn their heads to look at it.

"Good!" Wang Xu finally nodded with satisfaction and laughed loudly: "From today onwards, this is the slogan of the Blue Dragon Knight, remember!" No matter where you go, no matter where you are, you must remember that you are a member of the Blue Dragon Knights, the strongest cavalry. Let the people rejoice when they hear your name, let the enemy tremble when they hear your name, and let your name be written on the monument forever. ”

With Wang Xu's words, the blood in the hearts of the soldiers has been ignited. Looking at the excited faces, Wang Xu nodded with satisfaction and said loudly: "Okay, I'll be here today and give you two days of rest." Gather again the day after tomorrow morning, and I look forward to your new table. Disband! ”

"Oh!" As soon as these words came out, the soldiers immediately cheered.

Wang Xu smiled, but didn't pay attention to it anymore, turned his head to look at the tun chief who was still standing in front of him, and said, "What's your name?" ”

"General Hui, my name is Su Fei!" Seeing Wang Xu asking, he looked extremely shy.

"Su Fei?" Hearing this name, Wang Xu suddenly fell into deep thought. This person is quite deep in his impression, he is a loyal and courageous person, in history he was a general of Huang Zu, because he admired Gan Ning's talent, and saw that he could not be reused, so he helped him get away. Later, Sun Jian attacked Huang Zu, and Su Feili was captured in battle and was about to be beheaded. At that time, Gan Ning had already defected to Sun Quan and was deeply respected. Therefore, when Gan Ning cried and begged and was willing to fight for his life, he was pardoned by Sun Quan. It's just that after that, he may be disheartened and never appear on the battlefield again.

"General? Checkmate? What happened to you? Finding that Wang Xu was distracted, Su Fei couldn't help but call out nervously.

"Huh?" As soon as Su Fei called like this, Wang Xu immediately came back to his senses, immediately shook his head, and said with a smile: "Your name is Su Fei, so where are you from?" ”

Hearing this, Su Fei immediately replied with a smile: "The last general is from Yiyang County, Jingzhou. ”

"Yiyang? That's in Zhangling County, Jingbei, how could he go so far to Lingling to join the army? Wang Xu suddenly became curious.

"Oh! During the Yellow Turban Uprising, in order to take refuge, we moved our family south to Changsha. At that time, Yiyang still belonged to Nanyang County, and there was no Zhangling County! Saying that, Su Fei paused, and suddenly said with some frustration: "It's just that the last general doesn't know anything except for learning martial arts with his master for a few years and practicing martial arts, so his family is extremely poor." At the end of last year, I happened to hear that the general was recruiting soldiers, and he also divided the land for his family members and helped them settle down. I had the heart to come to join the army, firstly, I hoped to make meritorious contributions, and secondly, I also hoped that my parents and family could live a good life. So I moved here with my family and settled in Lingling Taoyang County. ”

"I see." Wang Xu nodded with relief, and then smiled slightly: "Hmm! Work hard, I, Wang Xu, will never bury talents. But ugly things must also be said in advance, and you will be promoted to be a military commander today, and you will also have to redouble your efforts. If you are incompetent, you will be removed from your post in the future, don't let me down! ”

"The general can rest assured, the last general will not be disappointed in the general's promotion." Su Fei immediately bowed firmly.

"Hmmm! That's good. He glanced at Su Fei with a smile, and saw that the soldiers around him had already lined up to return to the city in an orderly manner, and couldn't help but say, "Okay, you can go back and rest too!" ”

"No!" Su Fei immediately nodded in response.

After taking the soldier's leave, Wang Xu went to the construction site of the fortress to take a turn, looked at the general situation, and rushed back to the Taishou Mansion.

When I was thinking about going back to take a bath and resting well, I suddenly ran into Tian Feng, who was about to leave the Taishou Mansion.

"My lord! Didn't you train today? I'm going to look for you outside the city! Tian Feng was slightly stunned, and immediately asked.

"Oh! The soldiers have been training at high intensity for so long, and some of them can't bear it, so let them rest today and tomorrow. Saying that, Wang Xu looked at the bamboo slip in Tian Feng's hand, and couldn't help asking, "But what is the matter with Yuan Hao looking for me?" Looking at you in a hurry? ”

As soon as Wang Xu mentioned this, Tian Feng suddenly remembered his purpose. was about to speak, but suddenly thought that he was at the gate of the Taishou Mansion at this moment, looked around, and couldn't help shaking his head and said: "Lord, this is not the place to talk, find a quiet place to report to you alone!" ”

"Hmmm! Okay, then go to my study! Wang Xu nodded immediately.

Asking Tian Feng about all aspects of the matter all the way, the two rushed to the door of the study after a while, and happened to see the maid Xiaoling cleaning up the study. This Xiaoling, like Xiaoyu, is one of the closest maids to Wang Xu and Xu Shu, she is delicate and cute, although her personality is not as gentle as Xiaoyu, but she is also lively and cute. So when he asked casually, "Xiaoling, where did Xu Shu go?" Why didn't you see her? ”

Hearing Wang Xu's voice, Xiao Ling suddenly turned around. Because Tian Feng was also there, he immediately bowed. "Master, the master mother took Xiaoyu to the workshop to send new design drawings."

"Oh!" Wang Xu nodded, and when he took Tian Feng into the study and sat down. waved his hand and said, "There's no need to clean up here, you go and make me and Yuan Hao two pots of tea." ”

"No!" Xiao Ling nodded, and immediately left obediently, and closed the door of the study with her hand.

Seeing this, Wang Xu turned his head and looked at Tian Feng and said, "Yuan Hao, what's the matter?" ”

"That's right, the officials in charge of the affairs of Changsha and Wuling counties have just sent an urgent letter at the same time." Tian Feng didn't procrastinate, and immediately went straight to the point.

"Oh? But what went wrong? Could it be that they haven't brought the supplies, money, and food over yet? Hearing this, Wang Xu frowned, and his tone was a little unkind. Hum! Anyway, the number of surprise inspections is already there, and if they dare to lose a penny, I will definitely have to explain to him personally. ”

"Don't worry, my lord, there's nothing wrong with this, they have all chosen to obey. And it has been all checked two days ago, loaded and shipped, and it is expected to arrive in four or five days. Tian Feng said with a smile.

"That's fine, it looks like they're not stupid!" Wang Xu couldn't help laughing, this feeling is good. But then he thought of what Tian Feng said, and couldn't help but say suspiciously: "Since this has been resolved, what else is there?" ”

"My lord, the problems of the two counties are different. How to say it! Sun Jian's side obeyed all the orders, and the soldiers of the county government had begun to be reduced, but the troops in his hands were still very strong! Tian Feng said.

"Oh? Is he using the county government's money to support private soldiers? Wang Xu frowned suddenly, he really didn't want to tear his face with Sun Jian at the moment.

"Nope." Tian Feng shook his head.

"Then how does he raise soldiers?" Wang Xu suddenly wondered.

"Hey! Did the lord forget? Sun Jian is the Marquis of Wucheng, Wucheng County is a big county, and there is a lot of food for him, which is enough to raise many private soldiers. And this person is very charismatic, has the support of many families, plus he himself is also from a big family. So even if you exclude the county soldiers, he also raised about 11,000 people, plus the troops under his command who relied on Yulu to support them, a total of almost 15,000 people. ”

"So much!" Wang Xu was really surprised.

After a long time, he couldn't help but ask: "Then what should we do now, is it better to limit the number of private soldiers?" In this case, there will be some obvious arguments against him, and it is likely to reveal our true purpose. ”

This subordinate also felt very embarrassed. Restrictions cannot be restricted, after the Yellow Turban Uprising, His Majesty famously asked the wealthy clans in various places to assist the imperial court in suppressing banditry, so now Sun Jian's private soldiers are in line with the law. If we impose restrictions, it will be difficult for us to account for them. Tian Feng also immediately shook his head and vetoed.

"So we can only let it go?"

"I'm afraid that's all it takes." Tian Feng nodded, seeing that Wang Xu's face was not very good-looking, he couldn't help but comfort: "But the lord doesn't have to worry too much, Sun Jian raises so many soldiers, although I don't know how well he is trained, but the equipment is definitely not as good as ours." The elite troops formed by the lord with all his money and the help of the materials of the four counties are no longer than his troops. Besides, under the lord's account, the capable ministers and military generals gathered, but Sun Jian was far behind! ”

"Huh! Yuan Hao, that's not right. Hearing this, Wang Xu immediately shook his head and said with great certainty: "Yuan Hao, Sun Jian is definitely not to be underestimated. My soldiers may indeed be well-equipped and well-trained, and even have expensive cavalry. But Sun Jian's soldiers will not be bad, and this person is a fierce tiger, once he has minions, it is very painful to bite people! Therefore, although we cannot limit his development, we must also maintain sufficient vigilance and attention. ”

"Hmm!" Tian Feng immediately nodded.

"What about things over there in Wuling?" Knowing that the matter in Changsha could not be solved for the time being, Wang Xu did not drag his feet, even when he asked Wuling.

"Very bad!" Tian Feng shook his head suddenly. Although Cao Yin was forced to hand over all the money, food and materials by the name of the lord, he was very dissatisfied and often became angry for no reason during this time. Moreover, with regard to the disarmament of the main bus generation, a procrastination method has been adopted, and neither refusal, nor has it been refused, but it has also been refused. Always find all kinds of excuses to shirk. Now even our officials are shunned. ”

What does he mean by that? Could it be that he thought that if he could drag it out for a while, he could drag it out for a lifetime? Wang Xu suddenly wondered.

"That's why I'm in a hurry to discuss with the lord, because I discussed it with Guo Jia, and we both felt that Cao Yin must have some conspiracy, otherwise it would be impossible to do such a useless thing." Tian Feng replied.

"Oh? So what do you think will be a conspiracy? ”

"This ......" Tian Feng hesitated this time and shook his head helplessly. Guo Jia and I don't dare to speculate on this, because we don't know Cao Yin at all. ”

Hearing this, Wang Xu couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and it took a long time before he spoke: "Since this is the case, then it is better to issue an order first, limiting that he must cut off the army, otherwise he will be reported to the court for disobedience." In addition, I also sent some spies to inquire more about Cao Yin's recent whereabouts, and also, immediately collect Cao Yin's life and personal preferences, I want to understand this person thoroughly. ”

"No!" Tian Feng suddenly smiled and arched his hand.

Seeing this, Wang Xu also picked up the teacup and took a sip gently, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. "I want to see what tricks this Cao Yin is going to play, I originally wanted to give him a good ending, but since he is so disobedient, then don't blame me for being ruthless."
