Chapter 44: Spring Blossoms

"The last general!" Dian Wei shouted loudly, after waiting for so long, he finally waited for himself to be arranged, and he was a little excited in his heart.

Dian Wei's figure and appearance are similar to the records of the Three Kingdoms that Tang Xiaobai is familiar with, with a burly appearance, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, much taller and more powerful than Xu Chu. His muscles are not beautiful, but they are like a mountain, giving people a solid and reliable feeling.

Tang Xiaobai looked at Dian Wei with a smile and said, "Dian Wei, I don't want to arrange a position for you, and I don't want you to lead troops to fight. ”

As soon as Dian Wei heard his lord say this, he was stunned, and his tall and mighty momentum became decadent, and the dignified and brave general looked at Tang Xiaobai with dry eyes like a wronged little daughter-in-law at the moment.

Several strategists on the side also looked at Dian Wei with a smile, as if they had already analyzed Tang Xiaobai's next arrangements, but Xu Chu, who was also a burly general next to him, couldn't sit still, and hurriedly said: "Lord, Dian Wei's momentum and force, but he is a proper general, if the lord has no arrangements, I don't know if I can let Dian Wei and I train the Tiger Guards together." ”

Dian Wei looked at Xu Chu with a grateful face, I don't know why he has an inexplicable good impression of Xu Chu, I believe that Xu Chu is the same, maybe the two are similar in stature, similar in personality, and similar in force value, so the heroes sympathize with each other.

Tang Xiaobai smiled and waved his hand, signaling Xu Chu not to worry, and then Tang Xiaobai said: "Dian Wei, you also know that although I am now your lord, I am not as good as Guo Jia, Xun Yu, and Xu Shu in terms of wisdom. ”

Tang Xiaobai looked at the three of them, and the three strategists also saluted modestly. Then Tang Xiaobai looked at the other generals and said, "In terms of force, I am not as good as the generals here. ”

The generals also saluted modestly. Tang Xiaobai looked at Hua Tuo again and said, "I don't know anything about medical skills, and I don't even dare to mention Mr. Hua Tuo's name with myself." ”

Hua Tuo hurriedly and modestly saluted.

"However, as the lord and the backbone of White Sugar Town, once I have three long and two short, won't everyone be leaderless?"

Everyone nodded again and again, they obviously knew the importance of Tang Xiaobai in this world, once Tang Xiaobai had three longs and two shorts, it would not be as simple as a group of dragons without a leader, but the entire White Sugar Town would be wiped out in an instant.

Tang Xiaobai was not in a hurry, and still said slowly: "So, I want to keep a fierce general, always by my side, can protect my safety, can give me orders, I don't know if you are willing?" ”

Dian Wei was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, this is a personal bodyguard for the lord, this is a supreme glorious thing, he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "A certain general is willing to protect the lord with his own life, so that the lord will never have to worry about this again!" ”

Xu Chu also reacted at this time, looking at Tang Xiaobai's eyes with stars, and there were some ...... mixed in As if to say, isn't Zhongkang your intimate padded jacket anymore?

"Haha, that's it! All arrangements have been made, from now on, each will perform its duties, and when our army has sufficient food and grass, and the soldiers are trained, then we will point to the world!! ”

Tang Xiaobai pulled out his seven-star treasure knife, pointed at the sky, and then slid down and pointed fiercely at the area north of the Qing River in the sand table, which was the place where there were more than thirty forces.

All the soldiers knelt down on one knee together and shouted: "What the lord's sword is pointing at, what our hearts want!" ”

Tang Xiaobai's heart was full of pride, the blood in his whole body seemed to be boiling, and he shouted in an almost hoarse voice: "Battle!! ”

All the soldiers got up, pointed their swords at the sky, and shouted in unison: "Battle!! ”

The sound in the council hall erupted, through the roof, and resounded through the sky until the Nine Heavens!!

……

In the center of White Sugar Town, several generals made a few tables and chairs, lined up, sitting upright, in front of them there were many young people queuing up to fill out the form, and some were even already showing their abilities, not knowing what they were doing. Take a closer look at the flagpoles behind several generals There is a notice hanging on the flagpole, which reads: The XXX army is now ordered to expand, recruit XX soldiers, and pay a monthly salary of one gold, and those with martial arts skills and excellent physical fitness are preferred.

It turned out that they were recruiting troops, and they responded to Tang Xiaobai's call to "not forcibly recruit and not bewitch", and all conscription was based on the premise of voluntary. In Tang Xiaobai's view, these are all inappropriate, most of the soldiers who are forcibly recruited will have resentment, or they are themselves lazy, lazy, weak and incompetent, and there is no benefit in the army, on the contrary, it is very likely to drop the chain at a critical moment.

Everyone still underestimated the fierceness of the people of White Sugar Town, and on the first day of recruitment, the stalls of several generals were crowded, including some white-bearded old men, who wanted to throw some blood on the battlefield, and some yellow-mouthed children with candy in their hands, who ran over with a milky voice and said that they wanted to fight for the town elder, which made people cry and laugh.

Later, there was no way, after several generals reported to Xun Yu, Xun Yu found Tang Xiaobai, and the two perfected the details of the conscription, but those who are over the age of 18 and under the age of 35 can join the army, and special talents can be exempted from the age limit, which stabilized the entire conscription. Those white-bearded old men could only lie on the rocking chairs, looking at the group of young dolls excitedly holding their own signs, and sighing that it was good to be young.

And those lovely children were also persuaded by adults to decide that they would work hard to pass the assessment of the academy in the future, enter the military academy or medical school, and later come out to serve as soldiers on the battlefield or become a doctor to save lives.

Tang Xiaobai passed through the conscription office and came to the Liuqing River, now this part is already his territory, the two mountains that he named "Taihang" and "Wangwu" formed a natural barrier, at this moment Zhou Yu and Huang Tiangong are driving a small boat at the foot of the mountain to investigate, preparing to build a maritime defense base. On the other side, the willow trees along the river have grown green branches and leaves, hanging down to the water, and the wildflowers on the banks are blooming in various colors.

"It's already March spring, and the ice and snow are melting and the grass is green. However, the weather is still cold, and I don't know when summer will come. A gust of spring breeze blew, Tang Xiaobai shrunk his neck, feeling a little cool, and the fat tiger he was holding also squeezed into his arms.

"Lord, although it is March now, the weather is unusually cold, you have to pay attention, don't catch a cold."

Dian Wei appeared behind him at some point, and put on a warm coat specially made by the old tailor in the village for Tang Xiaobai.

Tang Xiaobai continued to walk forward, Dian Wei followed behind him, always paying attention to the surrounding situation, but if there was a little trouble, I was afraid that Tang Xiaobai would run away.

"Dian Wei, don't be nervous, this is in the town, our own territory, are you still afraid that I will be taken captive? It's you, you can't find a suitable mount, that's a big problem. Tang Xiaobai turned his head and said to Dian Wei.

Dian Wei remembered that he had gone to choose a mount this morning, and touched the back of his head with some embarrassment.
