Ran Mingyue helped her parents to the bed, took a good bath, and waited until the next day when the sun slightly peeked out of her head.
A brave man wearing armor, a helmet, and a sword at his waist came to the second elder's bed and suddenly knelt on the ground.
"Dong dong dong~~~!"
She kowtowed three times, her eyes filled with tears. She didn't know if there would be a chance to see each other after we said goodbye this time. She really wanted to stay in front of her parents for the rest of her life, as a sign of filial piety.
"Father, mother, please consider your daughter unfilial. If you go to the battlefield and survive by chance, you will definitely come back to serve your two elders..."
Wiping away her tears, she resolutely walked outside, feeling like the wind was blowing and the water was cold.
In the military camp outside the city, everyone has gathered.
"2998..."
"2999..."
"Hey, there is another Ran Jing. Why hasn't he arrived?" Mi Le closed the military register with a gloomy look on his face.
"Military law, no waiting after the deadline, those who have not arrived will be punished as deserters~~~~"
"Da da da..." The sound of horse hooves came from far and near, rushing in from the military camp.
"Uu~~~!"
"Hmph~~! Are you Ran Jing? Why did you come now?" Mi Le's face was full of displeasure, and he almost said directly, I am very unhappy now, because I have lost face in front of the superior.
Ran Jing bowed his hands and apologized, "Sorry, I bought a new horse, so I'm late."
"Wait~~!" Mi Le narrowed his eyes. He felt something was not right. He opened the military book. It clearly recorded that Ran Jing was a veteran who had fought more than ten battles. How could he be so young?
In fact, in this era, many people serve as soldiers in place of their fathers or brothers. It is also an unspoken rule that everyone in the army is well aware of.
But this time is different. Veterans are different from recruits. If they are recruits, they will be replaced. No one will care who the cannon fodder is.
But veterans are different. These people are just as courageous as recruits. In the eyes of the commander-in-chief, ten recruits are not worth one veteran.
Before Mi Le could say anything, Yang Qian walked out of the camp and said impatiently, "Are you ready?"
"Colonel, there is a soldier whose identity is questionable... he may be an imposter." Mi Le ran to Yang Gan and whispered.
"Replacement? A soldier? Forget it, that's it, go back quickly. I haven't taken a shower for three days, and I have lice on my body."
Yang Qian waved his hand, and Mi Le was helpless. A large force of three thousand people set off towards Yuntong City. Not to mention, the people in Wufeng County were all wealthy people. A group of three thousand people, With a thousand cavalry, Yang Gan suddenly felt that the gold in his home no longer tasted good.
A thousand horses, even ordinary war horses, would cost ten thousand gold. Of course, pack horses would be cheaper, but pack horses couldn't fight. Yang Qian didn't understand horses, so he thought they were about the same. When he saw pack horses, Thought it was a mule.
These people were in good physical condition. It only took half a day for the mighty team of three thousand to arrive at the largest military camp outside Yuntong City. Yang Qian had already greeted General Tian and made a separate camp for himself. Come to the small camp.
"Old Tian, I'm back~~~!" Seeing General Tian waiting for him at the door, Yang Gan ran towards the horse.
"Captain Yang, I didn't come here to wait for you." General Tian became arrogant, not at all like his usual majestic self.
"Damn it, you arrogant bitch. If I haven't seen you for three days, your tail will go up to the sky."
He took out a piece of exquisitely crafted silk from his arms and handed it to Yang Qian respectfully. Yang Qian became curious and immediately opened it to check. After a while, his eyes widened.
He said happily, "Hey, now I want to call you Sheriff Tian. That's great. You can eat 2,000 shi. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, you're rich."
General Tian bowed his head in the direction of Chao Xian and said with a smile, "I can't believe that your Majesty actually asked me to serve as the county governor and also the county magistrate. I will be paid 3,000 shi."
This edict is entirely written in classical Chinese. Yang Qian can only relate it to the context, and many words cannot be understood together.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, your Majesty, I really don't worry about you, I'm not afraid of you rebelling." Yang Qian teased.
Tian Zong's face changed wildly: "Young Master, be careful what you say, I am loyal to your Majesty, heaven and earth..."
"Stop it, I'm joking, you take it seriously, what about mine?"
"Haha, the king has promoted you to the position of general, commanding 2,000 troops." After saying that, he handed him his identity certificate and a small brass seal.
"Tsk, you're so stingy. There's no benefit at all. Why do you need an official position? It's better to give money."
Tian Zong also wanted to see Yang Gan's shocked expression. You must know that although General Anbei is good, he is only a general who leads the army. What is a county guard? It is the head of a county and a frontier official. In modern times, it is a province. It's long, and General Anbei only has 1,000 shi, so his salary has doubled several times, and he can buy some more farmland in his hometown.
Who would have thought that this kid would not be interested in an official position at all, but thinking about it again, he is already a king, so why would he want an official position?
"I want 2,000 people to train according to my method. Also, I want 2,000 sets of armor, helmets, heavy crossbows, iron halberds, shields and the like."
Tian Zong covered his head, "Are you a debt collector? Why are you so cruel? They are equipped with all kinds of weapons. They are just ordinary cannon fodder, not an elite force."
"Haha, isn't it too much?"
"Do you want to make meritorious deeds? Do you want to be ranked among the Nine Ministers, shoulder to shoulder with the three princes?" Yang Qian said directly. Tian Zong is an average person about money, but he really values the merits.
No one is perfect, almost everyone has weaknesses, and as long as you master them, you can carry out a devastating blow to the target person and control them.
If it were said from other people's mouths, Tian Zong would not believe it, but since it was Yang Gan who could say this, his masterpiece of torturing the little master to death should be a bit of a stir.
"Appreciate further details."
Yang Gan smiled and said, "My method of training soldiers is different from yours. If I train all these 2,000 people into elite soldiers, equipped with the best weapons, armor, and horses, if I can destroy the Xiongnu, Lao Tian will be the governor at that time." What is there to do in this position? Why not be a general of hussars and generals of cavalry? Wouldn’t it be nice?”
Yang Qian's words were exactly what Tian Zong wanted. He didn't like wine or money, as long as it was enough, he didn't have much ambition for power, but he only had one hobby, which was to lead troops into battle to kill the enemy.
"Okay~~Then I'll send someone..."
"Stop sending people, I'll let the soldiers get it themselves." Before Tian Zong could finish speaking, Yang Qian took over and asked him to send weapons? Stop talking nonsense, Tian Zong, this guy, doesn’t care about money, but equipment is more important than life and foundation.
After all, he is the son of the king. It is true that he uses the general's armor as his armor, and the defensive performance is considered to be top-notch on the border. But what about the iron halberd and the iron sword? All are street goods.
The purpose of giving yourself armor as a general is to prevent yourself from dying too quickly. Even the iron swords of the elite troops are much sharper than your own. They are too picky.
Tian Zong's face was a little flushed. If Ji Zhao hadn't been the king's son and dared to touch his weapons, he would have had to take off his head. However, he calmed down and showed a smile that was uglier than crying: "Master, Remember to take less.”
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Lao Tian, the pattern, the pattern is too small, you know?" Yang Qian said with a look of disdain.
Tian Zong was helpless, "Oh~~~ It's your own thing anyway, so feel free to take whatever you want, but don't waste a good weapon."
Yang Qian was not happy, and his smile gradually faded: "Old Tian, do you think these weapons belong to my family?"
"Isn't it true? The entire Xia Kingdom belongs to the king, doesn't it belong to your family?"
Yang Gan shook his head, rarely showing a serious look on his face, "Old Tian, this is wrong. The Xia Kingdom belongs to the entire Xia Kingdom, not my family."
Tian Zong, who was accompanying Yang Qian, was immediately startled, with a look of horror on his face. He looked at Mi Le as if he hadn't heard anything, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Young Master, be careful what you say. If word of this reaches Chaoxian, how big of a storm will this cause?" Tian Zong tried his best to suppress his overwhelming emotions.
"Will you betray me?" Yang Gan glanced at Tian Zong inexplicably.
"Don't worry, young master, I will never tell anyone."
After arriving at the armory, Yang Gan waved his hand to his men in the distance and shouted, "Come here, everyone, heavy crossbows, heavy bows, feather arrows, armors, halberds, take whatever you see, take the most." The general will give you many rewards."
"Wow~~~!"
Two thousand people suddenly burst into an uproar and rushed towards the armory crazily. Many people brought their own weapons, but they were just like that. Wufeng County is a large silk producer, and the blacksmiths there have no problem making farm tools and needles. Let them make weapons?
Weapons are linked to wealth and life, and there is no room for flaws.
What is the concept of two thousand people? Looking at it at a glance, Yang Qian thought that everyone would rush in and rob the huge area. Unexpectedly, under the arrangement of the veterans, the recruits entered the armory one by one in an orderly manner and carried the weapons. Wearing many weapons and armor.
Only then did Yang Gan realize. No wonder Mi Le was not good at the veterans' treasures. Yes, that was autonomy. They knew what to do without the general saying anything.
Unlike the new recruits, who stood there stupidly, Yang Qian didn't speak, and the new recruits didn't react. They were no different from wood.
Two thousand people marched toward the nearby camp. This place was organized by Tian Zong when Yang Qian left. His own training method was not very suitable for this era, but it was not far different, but it was mainly for the sake of confidentiality.
After the weapons were put away, everyone came to the school grounds and saw a large group of people. Yang Gan took a closer look and saw that a group of people stood in a standard shape and were a bit older.
It was probably those veterans, and a large group of soldiers, standing sparsely, their faces still full of childishness, their eyes showing confusion and a little fear.
Yang Gan stood on the high platform, his black general armor lost a trace of light under the sunlight, and he had a sword on his waist. It was a pity that he didn't have a cape, otherwise he would have been so cool.
