The surrounding temperature dropped suddenly, and an icy chill came out of the hearts of Zhang Ke and Zhang Ke.
The two of them were so frightened that cold sweat broke out on their backs.
His whole face was stiff.
Zhang Ke hurriedly explained: "Sir, Lao Xu is in charge of recruiting new soldiers and has nothing to do with me."
Old Xu was one of the centurions under Cao Su's command. Because he was older, he seemed to be kinder. He was not like a rough guy like Cao Su, who would become cold-faced and full of sinister aura.
Luo Yiyan was concise and concise: "There must be a reason why Lao Xu is reliable."
After hearing what the two said, Cao Su's expression softened.
The violent momentum in the pavilion disappeared.
Cao Su snorted coldly: "Call Lao Xu over for me, and I'll ask him what's going on."
The two were so frightened that they quickly resigned.
After the two left, Zhao Xi led his soldiers to leave the yard.
There was a lot of noise in the yard, and Cao Su was the only one left again.
After a new breakthrough, my aura became a little difficult to control.
His body's strength, speed, reaction and other aspects have made new progress, and he has to adapt to the explosive growth in strength brought about by the new breakthrough.
"My skills are based on sword skills."
"The biggest characteristic of the Nilong Sword is that it is powerful and has a sense of perseverance and perseverance."
"The more adversity you face, the more you can accumulate strength, and then release it with all your strength at a certain moment."
This sword technique is a bit rogue, and combined with his immense strength, he can exert great attack power.
Compared with the previous Wind-Breaking Knife, which was said to be extremely fast, the power and lethality of the Inverse Dragon Knife has been significantly improved.
This sword technique is at least the top of the advanced techniques.
If others want to obtain this level of martial arts, they have to spend a lot of money and even participate in various bloody battles. Most of the time, even after pursuing it for a lifetime, they may not be able to obtain the martial arts they want.
But now, he has no shortage of skills, resources, and power, and the gap between him and warriors of the same level has widened.
On a whim, Cao Su fell into the courtyard and simply started practicing the Nilong Sword Technique.
The Flying Dragon Sword is heavy and the Wind-breaking Sword is heavy and fast. The Nilong Sword formed on the basis of the two sword techniques is even heavier.
The power of the sword is not directly visible, but it plays a very important role in the opponent's battle.
So he needed a longer knife with a heavier weight.
The Dayue Dao given by the Chen family before was good and easy to use, but the blade was too long and not convenient to carry around.
It would be nice if I could get a removable long knife in the future.
"After completing the full-body bone tempering, my body is stronger and taller, and my strength has increased by thousands of kilograms, and it is still growing."
When the strength reaches ten thousand kilograms, the various martial arts become completely different.
He casually punched an iron fist.
There was a sound of wind and thunder next to the punch. After the punch was punched in the air, the strength of the punch was concentrated and did not disperse.
The power of the sword and the strength of the fist have the same purpose but the same purpose.
As for the illusion caused by martial arts, Cao Su didn't care that much.
When you meet a real master, illusions are of little use.
It also requires close physical combat.
Boxing skills, sword skills, body skills, magical powers... He has gradually formed his own strength system. The next important goal is to cultivate his own first ray of inner strength as soon as possible.
After Cao Su thought about the way of cultivation in the courtyard for a while, someone else came over from outside the courtyard.
Zhao Xi came in to report.
"Sir, this is Xu Baifu."
Outside the yard, Old Xu was very worried. In just a few days, he had been worrying about recruiting in the city, and he was so tired that he became old.
But the effect was not very good, and I really didn't have the courage to come see Colonel Cao.
"Let him in."
At this time, Lao Xu heard the calm sound of water in the yard.
Gritting his teeth, he stepped in.
…
The next day.
The central location of Dengcheng City.
On the street not far from the city lord's palace, the rebel army was recruiting new troops.
After the rebel army entered the city, although Qiu did not commit any crimes, after all, he had no foundation in the city, and few residents signed up to join the rebel army.
Not long after, several soldiers wearing black armor walked out of the city lord's palace.
They gathered around Cao Su, the commander of the rebel army, and headed all the way to the recruitment point.
There were very few people, and there was no one to even consult.
After Cao Su came out, he attracted the attention of many passers-by.
"The word has spread that Mr. Cao is personally recruiting new troops today, and those who go to fight against the rebels will be exempted from tax for three years."
Cao Su sat steadily on the recruitment platform, and on the left was Lao Xu standing silently.
After this order was spread, there was not much response, but more people came to watch.
Most people came to see this actual ruler appear.
They all showed curious eyes...
"Another order is passed. For those who join the rebel army today, the head of the household can become a member of the Mining Association for a period of one year..."
Dengcheng Mining Association is the most popular term in Dengcheng recently.
After these days of publicity, ordinary people know that if you join the association and become a member, you can obtain mining qualifications in the future.
There are not many other resources in Dengcheng, but its mining resources are famous far and wide.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the association founded by Cao Su will fundamentally change the social status quo of the previous government control and hand over profits to the majority of participants.
Participants are also investors, but the premise is that you must first become your own person.
How to become your own person?
That is to join the Mining Association and become a member.
Only in this way can the government and the four major families take you to play together.
So when Cao Su spread the news, many ordinary people who came to the city were a little moved.
Cao Su was determined to add fuel to the fire.
He said directly: "Only for today, no waiting after the expiration date!"
At this moment, the waiting people rushed out of the door and gathered in front of Cao Su.
Not all of them came to sign up, but Lao Xu was even more stunned.
Because many of these people are rebel sergeants who have changed into civilian clothes.
These rebel sergeants pretended to be residents, crying and shouting: "I want to sign up, I want to join the rebel army!"
"The policy to fight against the rebels is so favorable, why should I stay at home and make salted fish? Please accept me!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "I also want to be a member, Lord Captain, one of my own!"
The residents who didn't have time to go out were nervous and anxious to discuss it at home.
Then some young men rushed out of their homes and officially joined the registration army.
Not long after, these residents who had a herd mentality got together with the navy and successfully signed up.
Five, ten, twenty...
In just half a day, more than 500 people signed up.
In the evening, these people gradually dispersed.
Cao Su threw the pen to Lao Xu.
"Okay, let's not recruit anymore. We will carefully screen the people here and mix them with the young people selected from the government army. You will be responsible for leading the new recruits."
After Cao Su finished speaking, Old Xu was overjoyed.
Let him lead new soldiers? Although the combat effectiveness of these new soldiers is weak, they have potential, and there are many of them. Counting those selected from the government army, there are at least seven or eight hundred people.
"In the end, I only accepted 400 people, and together with our original rebel army, we formed an army of nearly 1,000 people. Please don't let me break the rules."
Cao Su was still just a captain, and the number of people under the captain's command was only 500.
By then it will definitely be inappropriate if there are more than 1,000 people.
With more than 900 people, it barely exceeded the approved range.
"It's not about having too many soldiers but about being good at it. After we enter Yuzhou in the future, we will need elite soldiers to fight."
Cao Su casually mentioned a few words to Lao Xu.
Lao Xu listened very seriously and almost took out his notebook to record.
"There is no need to remember. This kind of thing relies on understanding. Lao Xu, you are a little older and are more prudent in your work. I believe you can lead the troops well."
"Of course, even if you can't lead me well, I won't blame you. I just think that I don't know people well."
Old Xu was moved after hearing what Cao Su said.
For a moment, I didn't know what to say.
…
A few days later.
Cao Su was practicing in the city lord's mansion.
The master came to the city lord's mansion to look for Cao Su.
In the past few days, Cao Su has completed adjusting to the new state after the breakthrough and is exploring the warrior's next breakthrough path.
The master hurried to the yard.
His face was not very pretty, and the dark circles under his eyes were heavy, and he looked like he was extremely sleep-deprived.
"Master, what's so urgent?"
Cao Su sat steadily in the courtyard, calm and unhurried.
After the master approached Cao Su, he whispered: "Sir, someone beat the drum of injustice at the Yamen. The sound of the drum was so loud that it attracted the attention of the people in the city. Would you like to go and have a look?"
Whining a grievance?
I am here to collect troops and people, not to be the county magistrate. I am here to beat drums and redress grievances. Should I take care of this?
He was about to refuse, but felt it was inappropriate.
Now that the entire city is under his control, and the people's hearts have gradually moved closer to him, there should be no negative impact at this time.
At least until the rebel forces leave, the general tone of harmony and stability here cannot be changed.
After Cao Su thought for a while, he waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "This is unreasonable! Who can complain about injustice in broad daylight? You can lead the way, and I will go and take a look in person!"
