It had been a week since he came back from the last hunting trip, and he had not found a suitable pet. Jiang Hua asked Taiyi to take a trip on a fat ray, and more than a dozen rabbit rays came back. Their bodies looked like cats, and their hair was thick and fat. It looks like a fur ball, but it has short legs that make people laugh. When it stands up, it looks like a cat lying down. When it moves forward, it looks like a fur ball rolling. Pick two and keep them at home, and the rest of Jianghua Take in space.
With the pet, Jiang Hua was abandoned. Tian San, under Jiang Hua's instruction, found a job for him and recommended to Liu Yu: "Master Zhou Mu, I have a friend who is from Zhuo County. He has been brave since he was a child. It's a shame that I have no way to serve my country. I personally led my servants to fight against the Yellow Turbans many years ago. Although I didn't achieve much success, I still managed to keep the surroundings peaceful. I came here to recommend him. Now that Gongsun Zan is strong, I have already made plans to find a place for him."
Liu Yu was sitting on his knees on the main desk, handling government affairs. Although paper was available in the Han Dynasty, it was expensive. Generally, bamboo slips were used for writing, and occasionally silk was used: "There really is such a person. Alas, since the Yellow Turban After that, the world became even more chaotic."
Liu Yu lowered his head and thought for a moment, then turned to ask Zhou Mu about his field work: "What do you think of Zitai?"
Youzhou Mu works, which is equivalent to the secretary of a high-ranking official. Tian Chou, whose courtesy name is Zitai, is a descendant of the Tian family in Youbeiping. In the novel, after Liu Yu died, he retired to the mountains and later surrendered to Cao Cao: "If this man is really so brave, what will happen to Youzhou?" Stability is also a big help. There are thieves in the mountains and forests around Fan Yang, so this person can show off his skills."
Liu Yu gently stroked his short beard and said, "Taifeng, you and Wei You are going to visit you. I hope he will join the army and work hard for the stability of Youzhou."
Jiang Tianqi, whose nickname is Tiansan, whose pseudonym is Qishan, whose courtesy name is Taifeng, is now a guest of Youzhou Mu Zhang. He brought Wei You to visit Jiang Mansion. Jiang Hua hosted a banquet in the main hall. Wei You said, "Qi Shan recommends Mr. Yan. The state pastor thought of his bravery and sent two of me to follow you to suppress the bandits, and use this military merit to gain promotion."
Jiang Hua said: "Then according to the wishes of Zhou Mu, I will take my servants with Mr. Wei to suppress the bandits."
The two hundred people who had been arranged were summoned. This was the first time that the servants had used force since their training. Before setting off, Jiang Hua explained the purpose of the trip: "Everyone, since the Yellow Turbans, wars have been going on all over the states, and there are now rogue bandits. This time Jiang will come to you to suppress them." Bandits, do your best for the stability of Youzhou."
With a neat answer, the three people took the lead on horseback and set off with dry food. Because they only had a few days of travel, there was no special transportation of food and grass. Each person traveled with ten kilograms of dry food and a wooden shield and long sword. With the body of the current servant They said that it was not a problem to run for a day with a hundred kilograms of weight on their backs. In order to hide their clumsiness, Jiang Hua did not even let them ride horses.
After marching for more than half a day, they reached a mountain top. The place was densely covered with jungles and there were many traces of people. Jianghua sent 20 people, led by Taier, as scouts to detect traces of the bandits.
It was getting dark soon, so Jiang Hua ordered everyone to set up camp. It was the end of summer and the weather was still hot. He found a flat and open place, collected firewood and built a bonfire in preparation for late night warning.
Soon after dark, Taier led his team back and reported: "Master, we have found out the enemy's situation. More than 300 people are entrenched on the other side of the mountain. They were the remnants of the Yellow Turbans. After inquiring, we found that they robbed caravans and robbed people for a living. Not a kind person."
"Okay, go down and let the others take turns to keep watch. We will go to suppress the bandits tomorrow." Jiang Hua watched as two hundred people spread blankets on the ground and began to rest and recharge their batteries.
In the blink of an eye, at dawn, Jiang Hua organized himself and began to enter the mountain forest under the leadership of his scouts. Jiang Hua, Wei You, and Jiang Tianqi followed with a hundred people. As soon as they crossed the top of the mountain, there was a panic. The bandits must have discovered everyone.
When he arrived, the two sides were already confronting each other in front of the village. Jiang Hua walked out, and the leader on the other side shouted: "Who are you? We are strangers to each other. Why do you want to offend me?"
Jiang Hua looked at the bandit leader. Judging from his appearance and body shape, he should be a martial arts practitioner. He stepped aside and said, "This is Dongcao from Youzhou. I'm here to kill you and other bandits. Who are you? Tell me your name." .”
There was a panic on the other side, and the bandit leader glanced at several people: "I am Li Bian, just an unknown person. These people want to destroy us. They are really wishful thinking."
Of course, the thieves had the advantage in terms of numbers. After saying that, with a wave of his hand, more than a dozen arrows were shot from the village. Jiang Hua pulled out the Jinsong Han Sword, which he had not used for a long time, and easily deflected it. The servant behind him set up a wooden shield to protect Wei. You and Jiang Tianqi retreated into the woods.
It's disrespectful to come without reciprocating. He didn't bring any bows and arrows with him this time, so Jiang Hua ordered a team of ten people to cover their advance with shields and use torches to set the wooden wall on fire. Bandits are also bandits. If Jiang Hua set up camp, they would have to set up camp on the wooden wall. Apply mud on it to make a mud wall.
Looking at the already on fire wall, the thieves hurriedly extinguished the fire, spilling soil and water, and the fire was quickly extinguished. At this time, a group of people used iron rods to pry open the wall, and the gap expanded. The two sides began to fight hand-to-hand. Due to the strict discipline and tacit understanding of the servants during training, the thieves were defeated step by step with shields and long guns.
Jiang Hua met Li Bian. After using his left hand to block with the scabbard several times, Jiang Hua knew in his mind that this man was a low-class character. He swung the long sword with his right hand and easily cut his throat. , looked around and found that the servants were in formation and forming an overwhelming force, so they did not intervene and let these rookies see blood.
He came to Wei You and said, "Mr. Wei, let's see how strong my servant is."
Wei You's face lit up with joy: "Mr. Jiang is so familiar with military formations, he will definitely have a bright future in the future. These two hundred people are like tigers and wolves."
The battle ended quickly, and they were all killed. He was very confident in the detection of the guards, and said that those who were not good people deserved to die. After the war, they cleaned up the battlefield and buried these corpses to prevent the plague from happening.
This battle was not difficult at all. Only a few servants were slightly injured, which is understandable. With the strength of all the second-rate generals, it was easy and enjoyable to kill these thieves.
After reorganizing, everyone headed towards Fan Yang. It was evening when they arrived at the city. Two hundred people were stationed outside the city. Jiang Hua followed Wei You and Jiang Tianqi to visit Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou.
Entering the government office, Jiang Hua waited alone. The two of them went in to report. After a while, Jiang Hua was led into the government office by Jiang Tianqi, who came out. What caught his eye was Liu Yu who was sitting in the main seat. There were many people on both sides. Jiang Hua bent over and handed over his hands: "I have met Mr. Zhou Mu. "
Liu Yu had a smile on his face at this moment: "Haha, I didn't expect that you are so skilled, but you are so fair and elegant. Wei You has told everyone about this trip. With this achievement, I will make you a military lord and lead the army." Hundreds of people."
Before Jiang Hua agreed, someone objected: "No, I think that bandit is very common and can be easily killed. Just give him a village commander."
Raising an eyebrow, Jiang Hua asked playfully: "Then you are an ordinary person, but you have been around all year round, why don't you get rid of it?"
"Those thieves are extremely cunning. Our army set off and defeated them many times. If our army encountered them, we would not kill them but they would be decapitated."
"Then why have these thieves stayed here for several years and not left?" Jiang Hua continued.
Jiang Hua's provocation also irritated the man, so he drew his sword and gritted his teeth and said, "You... are provoking me. Let's see if my sword is sharp."
Liu Yu, who was sitting at the top, waved his hand to stop him and said: "Gongsun Ji, it is a happy event that Jun Yi has made great achievements in exterminating the bandits. Why are you still not retreating after doing this?"
He also followed the locals and gave himself a name: Junyi.
It turned out that this person was Gongsun Ji. In the novel, it was he who betrayed Liu Yu to Gongsun Zan of the same surname. Jiang Hua handed over his hand and said, "Lord Zhou Mu, since this person doubts my military achievements, why not let us compete with each other?" So that the adults can make a decision."
Liu Yu looked at the people around him, and Gongsun Ji handed over his hand: "Lord Zhou Mu, let me find out his background."
Liu Yu thought for a while, then nodded in agreement: "In that case, then you two go to the yard to compete, and it will also open the eyes of everyone here."
Jiang Hua and Gongsun Ji went out to the front yard, and the civil servants and generals present came out to watch. Gongsun Ji pulled out his long sword and got ready. Jiang Hua took off his sword and laid it across in front of him, signaling the start.
Gongsun Ji saw Jiang Hua despising him so much that he refused to take out his sword. He was full of resentment. He shouted and rushed over. He stabbed Jiang Hua in the chest with his sword. Jiang Hua struck him with the sword and then slapped him with the scabbard. The power on his body directly repelled Gongsun Ji, but he was unwilling to accept it. He rushed forward several times, his face became more and more ferocious, and he didn't know whether it was pain or jealousy. Jiang Hua looked like he was strolling in the court, which made the onlookers see the difference between the two. The gap in force.
As Jiang Hua increased his strength again and again, Liu Yu couldn't stand it anymore: "Stop, this competition is over."
Jiang Hua followed everyone back to the lobby, and Liu Yu looked around: "I think Jun Yi has extraordinary military power and must be a general. However, it was difficult to get his previous position. I want to make him a captain. What do you think?"
Gongsun Ji had no face to come back at this moment. Everyone here was familiar with Jiang Hua's military force, so they didn't have any objections, because they were all engaged in the work and were appointed as captains, and the position of captain was not yet visible to them.
In this way, Jiang Hua became a captain in Youzhou. He had the ability to confuse magic. Jiang Hua was sent to garrison in Zhuo County, where he could recruit local warriors and command thousands of troops.
In the next two months, the manor developed quietly, and the crops planted were harvested. The yield of corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and soybeans was amazing. Without the use of chemical fertilizers, the yield of corn was 500 kilograms per mu. Potatoes and sweet potatoes were even more stunned. The farmers in the village were weighed heavily.
Jianghua also asked farmers to raise pigs, cattle and sheep, and then sell them after they were raised, and then deduct the credit of the young ones. These livestock were all species that produced a lot of meat. They were fed with crop leaves and roots, and the animal excrement could be fertilized for fertilization. This formed A virtuous cycle.
The weather has turned cold, and the harvested cotton has also been put to use. Home spinning is also a source of income. It can not only provide winter clothing, but also exchange for some money. The farmers in the village can live a comfortable life.
A lot of things have happened in Zhuojun recently. Some noble families gathered their forces to attack each other, causing heavy casualties. Jiang Hua sighed, so he wrote a letter to Liu Yu, hoping that he would send someone to adjust. However, a few days later, the prefect of Zhuojun and Gongsun Ji was attacked while leading his troops to adjust. The soldiers raised by the nobles were also excellent, and the vitality of both sides was severely damaged.
Later, the school captain Xian Yufu led the army and joined Jianghua's 500 soldiers to suppress it. Most of the nobles were killed and wounded, and the captain guarding the county was killed. Jianghua asked Tianliu to perform outstandingly, and by the way took over the post of Zhuojun's captain to protect the safety of Zhuojun.
If Jiang Hua wants to take over Zhuojun, he must weaken the influence of the gentry, otherwise who will he listen to in the future? This is Jiang Hua's rear area and must be stabilized. After this incident, these nobles should be able to settle down for a while. Jiang Hua let Tian Si Tian Tian Wu Tian Liu continue to provoke, and he took the opportunity to spend money to acquire a large amount of land.
The situation in Luoyang was even more treacherous. Lu Bu stabbed Ding Yuan and escaped. Du Ba assumed the alias Chen Du and helped rescue him. He became Ding's personal captain and commanded a thousand guards of Ding Yuan. Chen Du, who was strong in military force, became Ding Yuan's subordinate. A famous man, this is a great man who can fight against Lu Bu. Even though he is a captain, no one dares to underestimate him.
