Chapter 179: Recruiting
Chapter179: Recruiting and Buying Horses
The morning sun rose from the horizon and shone on Shucheng, coating Shucheng with a light golden yellow. The blood stains on the wall have been cleaned up, and the clean bluestone lies quietly there. There are still traces of blood in some stone cracks, witnessing the tragedy of the war.
The trap below has also been renewed. The real tower is full of busy crowds. They carry stones and walk slowly towards the wall, or look at rolling wood, etc. They are all doing their best to contribute to the defense of the city wall.
Yo! Yo!
A burst of hard-working sounds floated over Shucheng.
"Brother, do you think Xiahou's team will come to attack the city?"
No matter what, as long as he dares to come, our adults must tell them not be able to eat and walk. Isn't it enough for them to be taught by me last time, and they still want to be beaten by us? I think they have probably become shrinking turtles now. Look at their turtles huddled in that small dirt pile, not what turtles are.
Haha! Or brother, what are you saying?
There were bursts of laughter around.
"They may be hitting the mouse hole," came another voice.
The result was another burst of laughter.
It has been four days since that battle. During these four days, Xiahou's team has been stationed far away without huge movements. Not to mention the siege, they are waiting for the arrival of reinforcements. Each of their spies looked at Shucheng from afar and dared not approach him too much.
"How long will their reinforcements come?" Huo Yun looked into the distance and said.
"If it's ten days, if it's slow, it's a month. If the King of Zhongshan sends the leading troops, it will only take eight or nine days to arrive. If you want to wait for all the troops of the King of Zhongshan to arrive, I'm afraid it will take a month." The mountain wind said worriedly.
"What if we go out of the city to attack!"
"No, no, we are now seriously injured. If we fight against them head-on, we must not be their opponents. We can only confront them with the help of the city. If we go out of the city, we will definitely be annihilated by them. Your excellency, you also know the combat effectiveness of our army."
Well, I knew it would be such a result.
Your Excellency, what do you say to General Fengling's letter of support?
Hearing this, Huo Yun cheered up, "I guess it's the same speed as the army of the king of Zhongshan. Now we have to wait. To tell you in my heart, I'm unwilling to look at the fat in front of me, but I can't eat it. How sad it is.
There's nothing we can do. It's already very good for us to do this.
Your Excellency, you are now a lieutenant. It is reasonable to have a team of 5,000, but now there are very few strong men in Shucheng, and it is estimated that you can only recruit about 2,000. If you hadn't run a lot before, you might have recruited more people.
"Two thousand, two thousand is already good, and with the current more than 1,000, it is almost 4,000, but their training is still good, brothers."
"Adults, don't worry, we will train them seriously," the military Hou Hou, who have been listening to Huo Yun talking with Shanfeng, said one after another.
After experiencing this battlefield, they have recognized Huo Yun's leadership position from the bottom of their hearts and have no slightest regard for Huo Yun.
With your training, I am very relieved that you will train according to my requirements. You can ask A Da about specific things, and he will explain it in detail.
No!
Now that Shucheng has just settled down, please be careful not to disturb the people and don't force them to join the army. We will welcome them if they want. If they don't want us, we won't force them.
In fact, Huo Yun is worried. Now his prestige in Shucheng is very high, and there are still a lot of people who sign up for the army.
The dead brother of the adult............
"For a thick burial, the pension of their family must be distributed." Huo Yun said firmly.
"But the pension given by the court is less, which is not enough to fulfill the words of the adults at the beginning." Wu Ke said hesitantly. The court did not make it difficult for the pension. The money has now been received, but there is still a lot of gap in the promise made by Huo Yun.
"Let me put it on, and then you can go to my mansion to get it."
No!
"Your Excellency is really powerful. We will follow you in the future. Your Excellency should take more care of him in the future," Wu Ke said loudly.
Don't worry, follow me. If you have me, I will have you. I won't treat you badly. Huo Yun always felt that when he said such a thing, it was like the underworld pulling his little brother in the past. But in essence, it may be the same, Huo Yun secretly thought.
"Adults are powerful"
Your Excellency is powerful!
Several soldiers suddenly roared loudly, and the soldiers around them also roared, and their voices gradually became louder and louder.
Huo Yun knows that he has really embarked on the road from now on. They will be an important force in their hands and only listen to their own strength.
Go back to the school yard to train troops!
No!
In a small pavilion in Wuchuan, a beautiful figure sat there, with a moving curvature slightly raised at the corners of his mouth.
"Is that all Qihe has? Is there any other news?"
At present, we know that there is only so much. Xiahou's army defeated and did not take Shucheng. It is waiting for the army of the king of Zhongshan, while Fengling sent 50,000 people to Shucheng to defend the city. It is estimated that there will be a big war in the direction of Shucheng. The king of Zhongshan kicked on the iron plate this time.
You know why Fengling sent 50,000 horses to Shucheng.
"Isn't it just to prevent the attack of the King of Zhongshan?"
"No, no, if only it was really that simple. I guess this decision could have a great relationship with the situation in the court." Yingli's white slender hand picked up the teacup and took a gentle sip, and Liu's eyebrows frowned slightly.
Qi He nodded as if he had understood something.
"Now we have basically controlled most of the mob in Youzhou and Shandong. Our teaching has spread rapidly in that place. Now the number of religious people has reached more than 500,000. At present, it is still rising further, and the strength of our teaching has been greatly improved.
I know that what I didn't expect was that Xiahou would be defeated by Huo Yun this time. Xiahou is a leading force of the king of Zhongshan, and Xiahou himself is also a good talent. I didn't expect that he would lose.
"Hmm! That's because he is blindly arrogant and doesn't know the depth of heaven and earth," Qihe said disdainfully.
"This is the reason. On the one hand, the reason is Huo Yun. He didn't expect that he would subdue the hearts of the city defense forces in such a short time and organize them to defend the city. He may become our great enemy in the future." Ying Li said seriously.
"It's just a boy who has won a battle. It's still a little early to say that he is our enemy." Qihe obviously does not agree with Yingli's view.
"Maybe! Who knows what will happen in the future!" With that, he looked at the sky.
"He is really an interesting person, and I'm getting more and more interested in him now."
Qi He couldn't help but have a bad idea in his heart. Shouldn't his master fall in love with him? After thinking about it, he threw out this terrible idea, because that's too bullshit. They haven't seen each other more than three times so far. Presumably the master is just curious.
Xu Jiuying withdrew her eyes and felt the strangeness of Qi He's eyes. She squeezed the corners of her mouth into a line and said with a smile, "Qi Hufa, what's wrong with you?"
No! Nothing!
Qi He withdrew his eyes.
The two were talking when a maid ran over.
"Miss Yan Wang asks for a meeting"
Yingli couldn't help frowning slightly. Why did he come again? Isn't he annoyed? Since he moved to this elegant residence, the king of Yan has come every few days. He is very clear about the king of Yan's thoughts. Due to his identity and the current cooperative relationship between the two sides, Yingli has not given him any color.
Yingli said, "Where is it now?"
In the hall.
Go and tell King Yan, and I'll come right away.
With that, he said to Qi He, "Let's meet the King of Yan now."
Well, Qihe stood up and followed Yingli to the hall.
