Chapter 181: Many People Are Troubled (Second Watch)
It's been two days, and the people in Seven Star City who have signed up for the army are still crowded at various registration points.
"Wait, wait, general, what's wrong?"
Hou Bufan was still discussing the training plan, and when he heard this, he immediately asked, "What's wrong?"
"The new recruits alone have recruited more than 30,000 people in the past few days, and now not only is there no place to place them, but even food and weapons are not enough!"
"My eldest brother and General Mi know about this?"
"Yes, Your Highness and the general, now that their heads are big, they have been walking around the command hall!"
After calming down a little, Hou Bufan understood General Mi's intentions, and asked tentatively: "General Mi asked you to come, right?
"There are too many people, and it's a trouble!"
Guo Jin's words completely said that Hou Bufan's heart was in trouble, and after smiling faintly, he said: "Since you found me, I have to handle this matter well!"
"Brother Fan, this is tens of thousands of people eating, drinking, and Lazar, can you really do it?"
"Didn't we just talk about something? What do you think?"
"Do you want to? I understand, arrange manpower immediately!" After Guo Jin left, Hou Bufan asked the messenger to bring a message back, and followed them.
When the group came to a mountain, Hou Bufan and the others changed into the clothes of ordinary people, and deliberately got some cars out of the space.
Soon after the convoy moved forward slowly, the people hiding in the shadows spotted them and reported back the news.
In fact, as soon as he moved, Yang Guo had already discovered him, smiled and whispered: "The fish is hooked!"
Hou Bufan nodded slightly, walked in the front, and waited for the other party to come.
Ten minutes later, they entered the enemy's ambush circle, and a large group of fierce men with weapons in their arms quickly surrounded them.
"We are all ordinary people in the city, heroes spare their lives, heroes spare their lives!"
In the crowd, a middle-aged man with strong muscles all over his body walked out, looked at them coldly, and said, "People, are there people as rich as you? Say, which city is the son of a rich family?"
Hou Bufan saw that he was in trouble, his face turned sideways instantly, and he said: "It seems that if we don't give you some great taste today, we won't be able to get by!"
"Don't be ashamed, brothers, take him!"
When these people just moved, Yang Guo and Guo Jin moved first, and they took the middle-aged man who spoke.
He was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and after taking three steps back, he drew the long sword at his waist and swung out a large sword shadow, but Yang Guo went up against his sword qi, and when the Xuantie heavy sword in his hand cut off his long sword in an instant, Guo Jin had already locked his throat.
These series of actions, they completed in three seconds, and when the others had not yet reacted, Hou Bufan took the first step in front of the other party.
"If you don't want him to die, just step down for me!"
"Brothers, stand back, stand back!" a thin young man commanded everyone to slowly retreat.
"The Dusk Monarch sent a large army to encircle and suppress the Seven Star City, and you didn't fulfill your duty to defend the land, and actually came here to rob the passing merchants and people?"
"General, at first glance, he is not a good person, if you kill him, what do you have to say to him!"
"Wait, who said we didn't fight the Imperial Eagle Dogs, we came here to loot supplies to deal with them!"
"No matter what your purpose is, it's not right to rob!"
"What can we do! General Mi Tianze of Seven Star City said that we are bandits and rogues, and he is unwilling to let us join the army, so we can only unite a dozen or so cottages around us and fight with them. ”
This person's words deeply shocked Hou Bufan, he really didn't expect that these people, after being detained as bandits and rogues, would be so united.
"You said you fought against the Imperial Army, what proof do you have?"
"Do you remember when Seven Star City was besieged a few days ago? If we hadn't cut off the other side's reinforcements, Old General Liu Zhengming would not have lost. ”
Hou Bufan finally understood that the scout came back to report a strange sentence, it turned out that all this was done by these bandits and rogues.
Yang Guo said, 'Very good!' and let him go.
"On behalf of the entire people of Seven Star City, I would like to thank all the heroes for their high righteousness!" Hou Bufan said sincerely as he bowed his hand.
The middle-aged man hadn't reacted before, but when he came back to his senses, he ran to Hou Bufan very excitedly and said, "I heard them call you generals just now?
His words infected everyone, and everyone followed his example and got down on one knee.
"I can't do such a big thing! Well, I'll go back and discuss it with them, and I'll give you an answer, okay?"
"General, you are prevaricating! If you don't agree to our request, I'll kneel down here and die!"
Hou Bufan is now difficult to ride a tiger, he originally came to find these bandits and robbers of the other party's grain, but now not only did he not find a grain of grain, but there were two or three hundred more people.
"You guys get up first! General, there is a general's difficulty, please don't embarrass him!"
Which of the thieves was thin, but suddenly shouted excitedly: "I know who you are! Hou Bufan, General Hou!"
"What! You are General Hou, and the person I admire the most is you!"
"Please, General, be sure to accept me!" shouted hundreds of people in unison.
Hou Bufan knew that if he didn't agree to them today, it would be difficult to take in such a person in the future.
"Okay! I promise you!"
"Okay, haha! General Xie, General Xie!"
Looking at the group of people who looked excited, Hou Bufan knew that as long as they trained this group of people well, they would definitely be able to surprise the enemy on the battlefield in the future.
"What's your name?"
"Villain! No, the last general, Zhan Can! His name is Lu Ming, and he is the chief military division jointly elected by all of our cottages!"
"Well, I remember you! I want to ask, how many of your thirty-six cottages are there?"
"I just counted it earlier, and it's fifteen thousand seven hundred and thirteen!"
Hearing his words, Hou Bufan's face became even more bitter, and he said to himself: "There are many people, many people are troubled!"
"General Hou! Isn't it just food and weapons? Although we don't have much food, there are a few more sets of weapons in each cottage! Thirty-six cottages together should have tens of thousands of sets!"
"Okay, okay, hurry up and get ready and send it to Seven Star City!"
Yang Guo stood next to him and didn't speak, but suddenly said: "I want to ask, how many people can you live in a cottage at most?"
"A thousand people is no problem!"
"Gather all the newly recruited soldiers into these thirty-six cottages, so that the problem of having nowhere to station can be solved. ”
"It's good, but suddenly more than 20,000 people are eating, and food is a big problem!"
"How much food do you have left?"
"If 1,000 people eat, it will last for about twenty days!"
"Okay! General Lu, I'll let them come over first, I'm sending someone to train you, you and Lu Ming, you and Lu Ming, you must manage these 36,000 people well! I ask you!"
"What is General Hou talking about! You can look down on me and Zhan Can, we can't do the work of dogs and horses!"
"Brother, I really didn't misunderstand you!"
Just as Hou Bufan turned to leave, Lu Ming came to him and whispered: "If the general really wants to find food, you can go to Bishui Town in front!"
"Where can I get food?"
"Yes, general, don't you know! Where is there a big grain household, his family's grain, even if it is for 100,000 troops, it is enough to eat for several years!"
"Okay! I'll find someone to do it as soon as possible, you guys are going to be busy with the cottage business, no!
A sentence of Mandarin that suddenly changed the title, but Zhan Can and Lu Ming remembered that it was these two people who led the army to save his life when he was dying. (These are all afterwords!)
