North of Xianyang, on a road that runs diagonally northwest along Jingshui, a queue of thousands of people lined up in a long line, slowly moving in the direction of Beidi County.

"I thought that the Great Shu Long March would open up us, and this time I could go to Xianyang to have a look, so that I could see the majesty of the emperor. How do you know that we can't even see the edge of Xianyang, so we have to go to the barbarian land. ”

On a carriage carrying people, a rugged man eight feet tall looked out of the car, muttered in his mouth, and spat casually outside the car.

His name is Fan Xu, he is from Pei County, and he is a dog butcher.

In the same car, another yellow-faced man smiled and said: "Brother Fan, let's be content, let's take the long march of the great uncle, serve as the staff of the guests, be treated politely by the county lieutenant along the way, and be able to take the car when we are in a hurry." If there is no captain, we will be counted in this conscription, and we will have to walk thousands of miles on foot, and we will have to fight with the barbarians on the battlefield, how can it be so refreshing. ”

"Brother Cao said the same, I don't know how the eldest chief knows my Fan Xu's name, I haven't seen him before, I really haven't figured it out all the way. Brother Cao, Brother Xiao, did you two think of why you were taken away by the Great Shu's Long March? ”

Fan Xu opened his big eyes and looked at the two people in front of him.

Cao Shen shook his head and said, "I haven't seen the eldest concubine either, and I don't know the reason. On the contrary, it is Brother Xiao, when the eldest chief passed by your Fengyi before, he also sent someone to send a gift to your house, he must have heard of Brother Xiao's name a long time ago. ”

Xiao He, who was sitting quietly in the corner of the car, holding a scroll of slips, raised his head and said lightly: "When I see the eldest minister, everything will be known, there is no need to think about it." ”

"Hehe, Brother Xiao is still so indifferent, he deserves to learn from Huang Lao."

Cao Shen shook his head with a smile.

Xiao He smiled slightly, and lowered his head to look at Jian Mo.

He guessed in his heart that the reason why the eldest chief knew his name might be recommended by Lu Xuan.

Everyone is from Fengyi and has met several times.

It's just that Xiao He couldn't figure out why Lu Juan would recommend him Xiao He to the chief of the house, and the attitude shown by the chief was very grand, almost treating him with the courtesy of a countryman.

In addition, he was also recruited with Cao Shen and Fan Xu.

After observing along the way, Xiao He found that this Cao Shen had read books, understood the law, and didn't know where to learn some art of war.

As for Na Fan Xu, although he is a butcher who kills dogs and does not have much culture, he has good strength, and his personality is straightforward and dares to fight, he is a rare brave warrior, not a mediocre person.

"Isn't the chief able to know people thousands of miles away?"

Xiao He suppressed the doubts in his heart, looked up at the road to the north that was still covered with snow, and there was some expectation in his eyes.

……

Outside Yiqu City, Beidi County, Zhao Tuo walked out of the camp tent, looked at the loess plateau after the snow melted outside the tent, opened his arms, and took a deep breath of the still cold air.

It is now February of the twenty-seventh year of Qin Shi Huang, and in the cold winter of snowfall, cavalry training cannot be carried out, and everyone can only stay in the camp tent to keep warm.

It's actually part of the training.

On the battlefield, the mutual cooperation and comradeship between robes are very important things.

Staying in the same camp with the soldiers of Shiwu for a winter, no matter how they can get acquainted with each other, cultivate some feelings, and train after the beginning of spring, there will be a more tacit understanding with each other. When they go to the battlefield and deal with the enemy, they will also support each other because of their comradeship.

The past few months of getting along with each other is the process of getting them to know each other.

In addition to this group of cavalry, which was regarded as an elite cavalry by Zhao Tuo, from January to the present, conscripts from many counties such as Sanchuan County and Yingchuan County have arrived one after another.

Nearly 100,000 troops have been hoarded near Yiqu City, and as far as the eye can see, there are all camps and crowds. However, this is far from the limit, and in the following time, nearly 100,000 troops will arrive here.

"Chen Sheng, Zhao Guanghui, the lieutenant of Surabaya County, will arrive with troops today, and when the time comes, you will go to greet you and invite the people I have recruited."

Zhao Tuo commanded.

It was afternoon.

Zhao Tuo, who was sitting in the military tent to check the intelligence outside the tent, heard a report from his cronies outside the tent, saying that Chen Ping had arrived with three people.

At this time, Zhao Tuo got up and strode out of the account.

"General, these three are Xiao He, Cao Shen, and Fan Xu who were recruited by the General."

Chen Ping stretched out his hand to introduce.

Seeing a general in armor walking out, the three people on Chen Ping's side hurriedly saluted.

"Xiao He, meet the general."

……

"Three of you."

Zhao Tuo bowed slightly, looking at the three talents in front of him that he had longed for.

Xiao He is in his thirties, with a slender figure, a short beard and a long face, and looks quite capable.

Cao Shen next to him is younger than Xiao He, with a round face and long beard, but he is slightly shorter, standing with Xiao He, one tall and one short is prominent.

Zhao Tuo muttered in his heart.

"Is Cao Cao a descendant of Cao Shen? If so, could it be that his short stature was inherited from his ancestors? ”

Thinking like this in his heart, Zhao Tuo's gaze fell on Fan Xu on the side.

I saw that this person was nearly eight feet tall, with a full beard, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and his arms were very thick, and he looked like a brave and strong man.

Zhao Tuo's eyes lit up, who could not love a strong and mighty man?

In the Hongmen banquet in history, Fan Hao broke into the military tent angrily, and asked Xiang Yu with disgust, Xiang Yu not only was not angry, but gave wine and shoulders, and called him "strong man", which shows the majesty of this person.

Just when Zhao Tuo looked at the three of them, Xiao He and the others were also secretly surprised in their hearts.

They had already heard of a series of almost legendary deeds of this general, who had won a hundred battles on the battlefield and made all kinds of magical creations outside the battlefield.

With the blessing of status and fame, Xiao He and the three of them behaved very respectfully, even Fan Xu, who had always been rude, restrained his temper at this moment and stood in front of Zhao Tuo in a restrained manner.

"I'm waiting for the three, but it's really long-awaiting, and now the three are finally here, my heart is really happy, hurry up and follow me into the account. Chen Sheng, let people prepare a feast, I want to catch the wind for the three of them. ”

Zhao Tuo's attitude was extremely friendly and enthusiastic, which made Chen Ping a little surprised, and hurriedly turned his head and ordered someone to get it.

Xiao He, Cao Shen, Fan Xu and others were also full of surprise, they never expected the general to do this to them.

You must know that among the three of them, except for Xiao He, who served as an official in the county, Cao Shen and Fan Xu are still the heads of Qian, and they don't even have a title, and they are almost at the bottom of the Qin society.

Now they were sent by the high-ranking general to recruit here, and the general himself greeted him warmly, which made the emotions in their hearts very complicated, which can be called a surge of heart.

Since Zong Zhou, the values have been emphasized by a "soldier who is a confidant dies".

In the Spring and Autumn Period, Youyu let the lacquer body swallow carbon, and assassinated Zhao Wuxian many times to repay Zhibo's kindness.

Since the Warring States Period, Yan Zhongzi has offered a huge amount of money to celebrate the birthday of Nie Zheng's mother, Nie Zheng felt his kindness, and assassinated Han Xiangxia in the mansion with the momentum of the white rainbow, and destroyed his face with a sword, gouged out his eyes, and committed suicide by disembowelment.

Just a few years ago, there was Jing Ke who reported the virtue of Dan, the prince of Yan, and assassinated the king of Qin at the cost of his life.

This is the value of the whole era, especially a strong dog slaughterer like Fan Xu, who lives in Chudi, and the best thing is this one.

Seeing General Zhao Tuo's posture at this moment, Fan Xu's eyes were red.

Xiao He and Cao Shen are more rational than Fan Xu, but they are also very moved.

In this world, not all the people in high positions can achieve such a posture as a general.

At the same time, the question in their hearts became stronger and stronger.

Why would the general go to such great lengths for the sake of these three little-known and obscure small roles in Peidi, and still make such a gesture of seeking talent?

After being introduced into the tent by the general, Fan Xu was the most straightforward and asked directly: "I, Fan Xu, am not a dog slaughterer in Peiyi, I don't know grammar, I only have some strength, and my biggest reputation is in the few where I slaughter dogs, and I am called the dog butcher." And the general is a famous general in the world, high in the sky, I don't know why I should be so good to a person who slaughtered dogs? ”

Xiao He and Cao Shen saw Fan Hao asking the question in their hearts, and hurriedly looked at Zhao Tuo.

They also want to know.

Zhao Tuo smiled faintly.

He has the perfect answer for this era.
