Lu Dynasty

Chapter 119 Conscription
I have already cleaned the Bingzhou army that Ding Yuan gave me. Now the three troops of Zhang Liao and others have almost no descendants from the family, but our men are not full yet.So, I came to the Governor's Mansion to apply to Ding Yuan to recruit troops. Although Ding Yuan had said that I should recruit troops by myself, I still had to ask him for instructions. Otherwise, Ding Yuan would be upset and I would be in trouble. After all, he is now is my boss.Seeing me coming, Ding Yuan pointed at me and said, "Well, Lu Baxian, you will really cause me trouble! Tell me, what do you want me to do with those people you dismissed?"

I laughed and said, "Just find a place to install it. Uncle Ding is so wise and powerful. Isn't this a trivial matter? My nephew really doesn't want those trash. My nephew is here to make contributions. You said those people are capable." Well? They can’t do everything they can, they should be very good at escaping!”

Ding Yuan said: "Isn't it really that bad? I also led them to fight against foreigners for several years. It's not as bad as you said!"

"That means they haven't fought any fierce battles!" I smiled and said to Ding Yuan, "Uncle Ding, if a hundred thousand enemies come, you only have 3000 men under your command, but your task is to delay the one hundred thousand enemies for an hour. This kind of task is obviously a bit of death, you said that those people I have laid off, can they not be of help at this juncture?"

Ding Yuan clicked his tongue and said after hearing my words: "Your request is too high! Three thousand is against one hundred thousand and you can't back down! Who can do this kind of thing?"

I laughed and said, "As far as I know, there are two of them!"

"Who?" Ding Yuan asked.

"The proud champion of the great man, Hou Huo Qubing, once led 20 cavalry into the desert to enter the court of the Huns!" I laughed and said, "The other one is..." I sold the pass, and Ding Yuan kept urging me to say, so I said: " The other is the former enemy of the Han Dynasty, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu! He once defeated the 56 Qin army in Zhanghan with [-] Jiangdong children, and later used [-] cavalry to defeat Gaozu's [-] coalition army in Pengcheng! Scared Gaozu to flee in a hurry, Abandoned his son several times on the way, and finally took away Han Xin’s handsome seal to settle down!” My words almost made Ding Yuan faint, are these two bosses comparable?

Ding Yuan smiled and said: "Nephew is very ambitious, but even if you train soldiers like Xiang Yu's eight thousand disciples, what's the use? These foreigners are not enough to see, and there are not enough people! If you practice according to your method, The Xiongnu, Wuhuan, Turkic and other foreign races are not enough for us to kill!"

I shook my head and said, "Uncle Ding, as the saying goes: People who have no long-term considerations must have near-term worries! Now is the time when the big man is full of disasters. I once predicted that the way of peace will be reversed. At this time, the way of peace is just like what I said back then. It's the same as what I said, I will definitely rebel soon, and I'm afraid that Uncle Ding's soldiers will not be enough!"

"I also know what you said. When Cai Yong listened to your words and wrote a letter to His Majesty, His Majesty even laughed at Bo Chi for worrying about the sky. In the past few years, he has watched the Taiping Road donate medicine to the common people, and he has not seen them do any harm. The matter of the big men is just that there are too many people, so why should Ba Xian be so wary of them?" Ding Yuan asked.

I sighed and said, "Uncle Ding, have you ever heard that the sky is dead and Huang Tian is in power. The world will be prosperous when the age is Jiazi. This nursery rhyme?"

"I've heard it!" Ding Yuan said, "What does that mean?" I was speechless to Ding Yuan, and the Taiping Dao almost shouted in Ding Yuan's ear: I'm going to rebel.But Ding Yuan still didn't see it.If Emperor Han Ling couldn't see it, it's because his subordinates didn't tell him, or he didn't know there was such a thing as the Taiping Dao, but Ding Yuan, as a big official, didn't even have this vision It really makes me feel sad for him.However, it annoys me that I can't do it unless I explain it to him.

I thought for a while and said: "Uncle Ding, both Cangtian and Huangtian are the symbols of the emperor, since Cangtian is dead, Huangtian should immediately say that Huangtian will replace Cangtian, which means that the Taiping Dao will change its dynasty!"

"Ah!" Ding Yuan exclaimed and said, "Doesn't that mean that Taiping Dao is about to rebel?" I patted my forehead, thankfully Ding Yuan reacted.

"The latter sentence is in the year of Jiazi, and the world will be prosperous, which means that they will rebel in the year of Jiazi!" I said to Ding Yuan.

"Isn't that this year?" Ding Yuan looked at me suspiciously and said, "No way! Taipingdao will rebel this year?"

"Uncle Ding doesn't believe it? This year will be over soon, Uncle Ding can wait and see!" I said to Ding Yuan: "If my guess is inaccurate, then I will go home and farm!" I thought to myself: Before going home to farm , I pinched Guo Jia first!Forget what I say, even he is not allowed!
"If Baxian really went back to farm, then Cai Yong would eat me raw!" Ding Yuan said jokingly.I can tell that Ding Yuan still doesn't believe it.But forget it, as long as I can recruit soldiers, I don't care whether he believes it or not.These people don't believe what others say, but when it really happens, they start calling so-and-so a genius.Rather than calling others great talents, it is better to say that they themselves are idiots.

When I came out of the Governor's Mansion, I handed over the recruitment order to Gao Shun, and Gao Shun started recruiting troops in Jinyang City.Speaking of Gao Shun’s recruitment conditions are really special, he only accepts people who have no family affairs, which means he only accepts orphans, of course, if the orphans here are over 15 years old, otherwise you ask me to bring a baby into battle, it’s not worth it If you are killed, you will also be laughed to death.But what I don't understand the most is why Zhang Liao was able to join the army at the age of 14. Could it be that Ding Yuan's recruitment is all about size?

Back at the barracks, Zhao Yun was integrating the army with the three hundred slaves.These 2000 house slaves were all treated as Shichangan and inserted into the army of more than [-] people. The original Shichang became deputy Shichang or was demoted to corps leader. Those who were very brave were promoted. Do you have the brains to say otherwise.

Not to mention, people here in Jinyang are really enthusiastic about joining the army, and within a few days my army was fully recruited.Looking at these [-] people, my heart was filled with high spirits. I asked Gao Shun to take the roster, and wanted to see if there were any 'acquaintances' in it.Not to mention, there really is an acquaintance!I pointed to Song Xian's name and said, "Bring this man up for me to see!" Gao Shun followed my order and brought Song Xian up.

I looked at Song Xian carefully, this person's appearance is really good. He is about 1.8 meters tall, with a thick back and a strong waist, and a square face with a Chinese character. Although his temperament is very ordinary, he has a kind of calmness.I am very surprised why he betrayed Lu Bu in history.I said to Song Xian: "Song Xian! How about your martial arts?"

"Report to the general! The villain's martial arts can barely be called proficient!" Song Xian replied.

I said to Gao Shun: "Zhengzhong will try his martial arts, if he can rush into the camp first! Be my personal guard!" Song Xian followed Gao Shun under the envious eyes of the surrounding soldiers.When he was still proud of being favored by me, he didn't know that if there was anything wrong with him, I would kill him with my own hands.
