Chapter 5 ? Recruiting Teenagers
Seeing Yan Song, who was so arrogant that he was so embarrassed that he was walking away with his face, the crowd of people present burst into laughter. Yan Song was usually domineering, which really made them feel angry.
Then many people were worried about Zhang Xiu.
Yan Song is the county Gongcao and a powerful figure with the highest number in the county. If he dealt with Zhang Xiu, there would be a hundred ways.
An elderly man came up and clasped his fists at Zhang Xiu and said, "Although Zhang Lang is happy to do this, he is careful of future troubles."
"Thank you for your care. It's just Yan Song, who is just a clown in my opinion, is not afraid of it." Zhang Xiu smiled and hugged him.
Although the onlookers were worried that Yan Song would take revenge on Zhang Xiu afterwards, they also made Zhang Xiu strong.
"It is worthy of being Zhang Lang who bent his bow and shot the tiger himself, and he is as brave as a bowl."
Although it was a coincidence, Zhang Xiu was both bent his bow and shot the tiger, and he was not as innocent as Yan Song. His reputation was really rising and he soon became a celebrity in Youfufeng.
This matter will become a discussion among many people after dinner, but Zhang Xiu himself does not care about it and continues to set up stalls to sell tiger skins.
Not long after, a real customer heard about this and came to buy tiger skins. They were worth hundreds of gold and were free from being deceived.
Zhang Xiu happily traded the tiger skin with the guest. After taking out a hundred gold coins, he returned to Zhang's house with Hu Cheer and others without any expenses.
Zhang's house is very big and has a living room. It was used to entertain guests when Zhang Ji was at home. Now that Zhang Ji is not here, the living room has been used by Zhang Xiu.
After entering the living room, Zhang Xiu knelt down in the hall and asked Hu Cheer and others to kneel down on the left and right.
Although Zhang Xiu had no official position at this moment, he also had a general's aura. He looked around at everyone, and everyone felt that the sharpness was coming, so they did not dare to look at Zhang Xiu, and they all lowered their heads.
"Now the world is chaotic and when heroes use their weapons, I want to learn from my uncle to raise an army and immediately gain fame and wealth. Unfortunately, I have few people under my command. I will take out ten gold for today's money. You don't have to follow me after that, and divide it into two parts. One is commanded by Zhang Long, and I will recruit idle and hungry boys on the street. The other is commanded by Wang Shi, and I will buy tents and wood on the street. I will set up camp outside the city. I will perform military and military training and train soldiers."
Zhang Xiu put his hands flat on his knees, his body straight like a javelin, his words calmly, and his demeanor was the general.
All the men regard Zhang Xiu as their respect in daily life, and now they realize more of an extraordinary aura. Naturally, they dare not disobey and agree to the promise.
Then, Zhang Xiu took out ten gold, that is, ten gold cakes, from the hundred gold coins, and asked Wang Shi and Zhang Long, the young man, to do business.
Soon, the two boys led their men to disappear.
Zhang Xiu was about to get up and leave, but suddenly saw Hu Cheer depressed. He was stunned at first, then understood and couldn't help but smile and said, "Hu Cheer, but I blame me for not giving you an errand?"
"Don't dare." Hu Che'er shook his head and denied it, but then he still showed his heart and said in a depressed manner: "Since the little master is going to raise an army, I, Hu Che'er, should be the front guard. In terms of talent and courage, I am above Wang Shi and Zhang Long. Since the little master wants someone to do the job, why don't he appoint me? It's not that I am not convinced, but I just don't understand."
Zhang Xiu nodded, but also smiled and said, "You don't know anything about Hu Cheer. Wang Shi, Zhang Long is just a military waiter, Sima's talent. And you."
Zhang Xiu came to Hu Cheer's side, stroked his back, and praised him, "Hu Cheer, you are a rare general, you follow me first. When the time is right, you will lead the army to fight for me."
Hu Cheer immediately shook his depression when he heard this and bowed excitedly, "Thank you for your cultivation."
As a king, just arrange personnel and win people's hearts. Zhang Xiu was impatient to do it himself. Just wait for the time to delay, he could obtain a young army of hundreds of people, and then join Dong Zhuo's army and devote himself to this bloody and dark chaotic world without hesitation.
As for people like Yan Song, although they are also big names on Youfufeng, they are small people in the world, and Zhang Xiuzhen didn't take them seriously.
But the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop.
After arranging everything, Zhang Xiu picked up his big gun and came to the yard to practice spear routine.
The Zhang family's marksmanship is divided into foot battles and horse battles.
There are routines in infantry battles, but horse battles actually only have skills. After all, people riding horses cannot make some moves. If they really fight, they are quick-eyed and quick-handed.
Fast, accurate, and cruel.
However, before Zhang Xiu started practicing, an old man in the house came to report: "Little master, there is a man who claims to be Pang De outside the door asking for a visit."
Zhang Xiu was a little surprised, but then he realized what Pang De was coming, and his heart was slightly warm. He threw the big gun to Hu Cheer next to him, and then went out to greet Pang De himself.
In front of the gate, Pang De held the horse in one hand and waited with the other, and his face showed a sense of worry.
"Brother. But come for Yan Song?" Zhang Xiu strode out of the door and bowed to Pang De.
Pang De was not surprised that Zhang Xiu guessed it, but was still a little worried. He nodded and said, "That's true. I don't know anything. Yan Song had something to do with the Ten Generals, so even the prefect respected him three times. You humiliate Yan Song in public. How could Yan Song give up? I'm afraid my life will not be easy."
Zhang Xiu smiled but did not say anything. Instead, he asked an old man to take care of Pang De's horse, and then took Pang De's hand to the living room and sat opposite him in front of a desk.
Zhang Xiu asked Hu Cheer to get some water.
Zhang Xiu took the kettle from Hu Cheer and filled the water cup with him and Pang De. Then he said, "Thank you for your concern, brother, I am not afraid of Yan Song. First, my uncle led his troops in the county, and he was a general. Now the world is not peaceful, and there are many bandits and bandits. If one day a bandit invades the county city, my uncle will have to lead the troops to guard the county. Second, although Yan Song has something to do with the Ten Generals, is there much connection with Dong Gong?"
"Dong Gong led his troops to attack the Yellow Turbans, but he was defeated. He bribed the Ten Generals and immediately resumed his post. How could the friendship be comparable to Yan Song and others?"
Pang De suddenly felt polite when he heard this. The Zhang family was not afraid of Yan Song. However, after thinking for a while, Pang De said, "But brother. He is the illusion of power in the county. Even if he can't shake you, if he causes some small troubles, he is afraid that you will be overwhelmed by your brother."
"I have to be careful." Zhang Xiu picked up the water cup and took a sip of water, his face slightly serious.
After the two brothers talked about this, they said goodbye and left because Pang De had something to do. Zhang Xiu sent Pang De to the door and watched him ride away.
"I hope you don't mess with me, otherwise...hey." Zhang Xiu stood firm for a moment, then smiled and turned to the house to continue practicing martial arts.
Until it was getting dark, my aunt Zou came to ask him for dinner in person.
"Dalang, it's time to have a meal." Zou's clothes were wearing pale yellowish-flavored clothes, standing tall in the corridor, calling out lightly.
"Yes, aunt." Zhang Xiu bent down and saluted, threw the big gun to Hu Cheer next to him, and followed Zou and came to the central hall. There was nothing to say about the food. There was fish and meat, but it tasted a little bad.
However, this time before Zhang Xiu served the bowl and started eating, Zou said lightly: "Dalang, I heard you were in trouble on the street?"
Although this aunt was plain, she was very imposing. Zhang Xiu was usually respectful, but she was not a shame. She smiled and said, "Auntie, don't care, this is a small matter."
"Yes." Zou looked at Zhang Xiu indifferently and nodded slightly. But his heart was a little fluctuating. The situation she learned was not a trivial matter.
The other party is the Gongcao in the county... but she was not very worried, after all, her husband was called Zhang Ji.
Zhang Xiu was prepared for Yan Song's affairs, but he didn't take it seriously. In the next few days, Yan Song didn't come to cause trouble.
Zhang Xiu temporarily put this matter behind his mind and entered the training mode wholeheartedly.
Zhang Long and Wang Shi followed his order and took out ten gold. On the one hand, they made friends with idle and hungry boys on the street, and on the other hand, they built a camp on the Zhang family's own fields outside the city.
Because they were generous, in just five or six days, there were rogues on the street, idle and slutty, hungry teenagers following them, willing to make a living.
Zhang Xiu let Zhang Long and Wang Shi do this, and did not ask much about it. Although these two people were young, they had been playing guns and sticks since childhood and grew up in the army, so it was not a problem to train hundreds of people.
But he rode his horse out of the city from time to time and looked at the camp.
However, people are easy to recruit, but training is difficult. Although "rewards must be trusted, punishment must be powerful. You can spend all your money to raise soldiers" is the secret.
But just like iron, only a hundred refinements can make a strong man. Zhang Xiu went to and from the military camp and Zhang's house, and guessed in his heart that it would take at least six months for this army to barely use.
But no matter what, this is also a starting point, a starting point for the world. Zhang Xiu was still quite happy.
On this day, Zhang Xiu and Hu Cheer rode their horses together to inspect the situation. They did not interfere much, but were watching Zhang Long and Wang Shi train their soldiers.
Currently, it is mainly about marching, running and boxing.
After Zhang Xiu looked at it, he said to Hu Cheer: "Hu Cheer, let me tell Wang Long for a while and ask him to buy cloth, neatly made clothes with leather, leather armor, and buy some spears and bows from the blacksmith in the city. Next, we not only have to practice boxing, but also weapons and archery."
"promise."
Hu Cheer agreed with a loud promise.
Who doesn’t want to achieve fame and fortune? They and Zhang Xiu were masters and servants who grew up, and they all prospered and lost. Zhang Xiu now has the ambition to get fame immediately, and they are all enthusiastic.
At this moment, a fast horse came from the sky. After entering the military camp, he came to Zhang Xiu and Hu Cheer without stopping.
