The time limit agreed between Wu Zhao and Zhong Haoqiang was five days. In the past five days, many people from dock forts, mountain villas, and even cottages have come to participate in the battle. These heroes brought five or six hundred soldiers, and there were dozens of people with a few, and Wu Zhao also assigned his generals to accept the arrangements regardless of their status and status. It's just that most of these soldiers and horses are small forces, and several big dock forts with names and surnames in the Zhending Territory did not send troops to come, but found some reasons and sent some grain, grass, gold and silver to show their support. Wu Zhao did not dislike it, he smiled and accepted them one by one, made a register, and counted them as merits.

When the time came, Wu Zhao dressed in military uniform and took the stage to order. After sacrificing heaven and earth, worshipping the Son of Heaven from afar, Wu Zhao stood by the sword, and the voice was like a bell: "I will follow the order of the Son of Heaven and inspect Hebei." There are those who wish the family to set up ambushes to assassinate the general, and openly rebel! Now this will be on behalf of the heavens, in order to seek revenge. You are all local heroes and heroes in Hebei, familiar with the road, I don't know if you want to open the road first? The one who enters Zhujiazhuang first can be a lieutenant colonel of my Han Army and a reward of 100 gold! Which hero dares to be a pioneer? ”

The words fell, and everyone was silent. Wu Zhao was not in a hurry, raised his voice, and asked twice. Finally, a strong man came out and replied loudly: "General Wu, I am wishing to go!" ”

The man was in shabby clothes, his hair and beard were disheveled, and he was on a rusty knife. Seeing him stand up, someone in the crowd coaxed: "Guo Bangmal, you are a farmer who kills pigs and sheep, what are you doing to make a scene?" You are a pioneer, and there are only a dozen mud legs under your hands, and if you can't touch the door of Zhujiazhuang, it will be gone, what kind of battle will you fight? Don't go down quickly, don't be ashamed. ”

Guo Bang's mallet turned red: "What's wrong with killing pigs and sheep?" If I slaughter you, I won't need a second knife! Have the ability to come out and compare? ”

Wu Zhao saw that the person who made a mockery was dressed in brocade, tall and strong, with a look of disdain and disdain, and his heart was disgusted. He said loudly: "If the hero doesn't ask where he comes from, what about the person who kills the pig and the sheep?" If you can kill the enemy, you are a good man! This strong man, you come to the stage! ”

The man rushed to Wu Zhao and hugged his fist, pressed his right hand on the table, jumped on the platform, and was also neat.

Wu Zhao nodded: "You see that you are majestic in appearance, and you must have courage." Make a knife and show it to me. ”

The man's face was full of red light, and he replied loudly: "Yes! ”

After saying that, his face was solemn, he hugged his fists and bowed to Wu Zhao, and retreated to the open space next to him. Then put on a posture, the rusty knife danced, and one move and one style also had a clear eye. When dancing the knife, the muscles on the body are exposed from time to time, and they are very strong and strong.

Wu Zhao was not very proficient in swordsmanship, and turned his head to look at Wu Song. Wu Song nodded slightly: "It's okay." ”

Wu Zhao nodded: "Okay!" What is your name? ”

The strong man's name is not bad: "Guo Mang! ”

Wu Zhao's eyes showed a look of approval: "Good! Guo Mang, I will appoint you as the vanguard officer of all the Zhengyin, give you the position of Sima of the other department, and lead the first department. Within ten days, you will be able to recruit a thousand strong men, including Qu Chang, Tun Chang, and Dubo, all of whom will be appointed by you. Ten days later, Ben will buy wine for you, and the soldiers will send a blessing to the family. As long as you enter Zhujiazhuang, you will be immediately promoted to the captain of Fenwei, and you can command 5,000 troops! ”

Wu Zhao is well aware of the principle of buying horse bones with a daughter, and this Guo Mang is the first to stand up, that is, a benchmark. Reusing Guo Mang, the rest of the people saw it in their eyes, and they were naturally hot in their hearts. What's even more powerful is that Guo Mang was also given the right to appoint subordinate generals and recruit soldiers, which is tantamount to giving the dozens of people brought by Guo Mang also a chance to make contributions. As soon as this example came out, even if Haoqiang could sit still in other places that had not yet come out, his subordinates would not be able to sit still.

Guo Mang was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately knelt down on one knee, his voice trembling: "Thank you, thank you!" My Guo Mang's more than 100 catties of good meat is the lord's, and the people who are born are the lords, and the dead ghosts also follow the lord! ”

Wu Zhao glanced at him, and couldn't cry or laugh in his heart: this kid is worthy of killing pigs and sheep, and when he says good things, he can't help but be awkward and creepy. There were also people below who laughed in a low voice, and the companions brought by Guo Mang were even more excited.

Wu Zhao pressed his hands weakly, waited for everyone's voices to subside, and said solemnly: "Guo Mang, this general is the leading general of the Han Dynasty, not the lord." I'm not interested in your flesh, so keep it for yourself. A beckon: "Present!" ”

Beside him, a soldier trotted to deliver a tray, and inside was a new set of other Sima armor, as well as a sword, a pair of bows and arrows, and a long knife. Wu Zhao prepared a number of sets of armor and weapons in advance, and according to Guo Mang's figure, the soldiers below selected this set and sent it up.

Wu Zhao waved his hand: "Put it on for him." The soldiers trotted over, and their movements were very neat to put on Guo Mang's helmet and armor, and hang swords, bows and arrows.

People rely on clothing, and Buddha relies on gold. Guo Mang's figure is already majestic, and this armor upper body specially built by Wu Zhao immediately looks extremely powerful, and he immediately changes to a person, as if a god will descend to earth. Everyone in the audience couldn't help but secretly cheer. There are even people who are familiar with Guo Mang who applauded loudly: "Guo Bangmal, you are majestic enough today." Wear this outfit back, and the girls in the village won't be able to let you go! ”

The soldier handed over the long knife, Guo Mang took it in his hand, danced, a cold light swirled like a silver dragon, and couldn't help shouting: "Good knife!" Really good knife! ”

This is also a one-star treasure knife specially created by Wu Zhao, and it can be regarded as a bloody investment.

Wu Zhao. Next, they arranged various responsibilities such as the supply of grain and grass, various rescues, and the rear team. The self-army sits firmly in the middle army and does not move.

Ten days passed in a flash, and Guo Mang really brought a thousand people here. This Guo Mang is quite reliable, and the soldiers he brought are decent and their morale is high. Wu Zhao distributed weapons, equipment, food and grass, and the thousand people should set off first. There is an example of Guo Mang, and many people came to vote in the past ten days, and those who were summoned did not refuse to be rejected, and arranged them one by one. It's just that the army has always held the camp firmly and has not moved.

When the news reached Zhujiazhuang, Luan Tingyu couldn't help but sigh: "The little junior brother has made a lot of progress!" I mean, why did he delay coming, it turned out that he had a long-term vision and had already focused on the overall situation of Hebei. Those who came to help in the war naturally expressed their intention to serve. Those who do not come to serve are naturally enemies, and they can clearly distinguish between friend and foe. This trick is not bad to buy horse bones, this trick goes out, and the people who come to Hebei must be like a carp crossing the river. The junior brother came to Hebei to support Liu Xuande, and recovered a lot of capital. Senior brother, how should we deal with his trick? ”

Sun Li touched his beard: "After all, this kid has been in a high position for a long time, so naturally he is not comparable to the stunned young man at the beginning." He occupies the righteousness and has power, so it is not too much to attract some powerful help. It's his strength, but it can't become his weakness? ”

Luan Tingyu's eyes lit up: "Weakness? How so? ”

Sun Li said with a smile: "If he personally leads elite soldiers and strong generals to come, or sends capable people like Liu Jinding, it is really not easy to provoke." But how powerful can these places be? According to the informant, the pioneer of his newcomer was originally a reckless man who slaughtered pigs and sheep, and he did have a bit of a reputation in the local area, but how could he compare with the real fighting man? Let's win this first battle, capture that reckless man alive, so that none of the thousand people can go back, and kill his prestige. The first defeat was miserable, and there were not so many people who voted for him. ”

Luan Tingyu frowned: "Do you really want to be so ruthless?" ”

Sun Li smiled narrowly: "Let's be senior brothers, why don't we show our hands well, even if we go to help him in the future, how can we be respected by him?" When others know about it, they will also think that we are relying on relationships, what kind of face do we have? ”

Luan Tingyu nodded: "Okay!" For my brother, I will go to tell the owner of the village and arrange heavy troops to meet the battle! We don't have to win this first battle cleanly! ”
