As the prefect of Changshan, Yuan Shu should have troops from Wuqu County under his command. There can be more or less soldiers from Wuqu County, but the maximum number of soldiers is only 500. If there are more, it will be over-staffed, so according to Han law, he can command
His military strength is only 2,500 in Wuqu, plus a thousand of the prefect's guards, which is only 3,500. Even if he adds county soldiers, he can really control no more than 5,000 soldiers.
Horses, so what he needs most now is to rebuild the Wuqu County troops and make them elite. At the same time, he must also find ways to build troops that are free from Wuqu.
Time passes day by day, and Ji Ling has been gone for a week in a blink of an eye. The waiting is really crazy.
"Sir, General Ji Ling is back~"
A personal guard rushed to Yuan Shu's door and shouted loudly inside.
Upon hearing Ji Ling's return, Yuan Shu jumped out of his wits and rushed out.
"Where is Ji Ling now~"
"Reporting to my lord, General Ji Ling has entered the city and is waiting outside the mansion~"
The guard knelt on one knee and reported to Yuan Shu.
"Open the gates of the mansion and I will personally pick up General Ji Ling~"
"No~"
"Crunch~"
The door of the prefect's mansion was slowly opened by the guards. Ji Ling was about to enter the mansion, but he saw Yuan Shu smiling at him.
"Yongyi, thank you for your hard work~"
Ji Ling only felt a shiver on his body, and a warm current surged into his heart. A man will die for a confidant, and a woman will look good for someone who pleases her. Why should she be reserved when she meets the right person? Even if he is notorious, even if he achieves nothing, he
Live only for him.
"Lord, Ji Ling is not bitter~"
With a snap, Ji Ling knelt down on his knees and formally respected Yuan Shu as his master. From now on, he would break away from the Yuan clan and belong to the Yuan Shu lineage. Even if Yuan Shu and the Yuan clan met in battle, he would not have any
Any swing.
"Ding dong~ Congratulations to the host for recovering the famous general Ji Ling, and you will be rewarded with a special lottery~"
Seeing Ji Ling's name change from white to emerald green, Yuan Shu was overjoyed. Ji Ling was Yuan Shu's number one general in his previous life. He had his own merits, and now he finally belonged to him.
Now that you can win a famous general and draw a lottery, how can you be so happy?
"If Yongyi is there, come to the house and talk~"
After saying that, he took Ji Ling and walked into the prefect's mansion.
"Lord, I really made a lot of money this time~"
The guest of honor wanted to sit down, but Ji Ling stood up again, his face filled with uncontrollable excitement.
"Speak slowly if you have something to say~"
Looking at Ji Ling's expression, Yuan Shu knew that this time it was done.
"My lord, I have spent a lot of money this time. Not only did I bribe the ten permanent servants, I also contacted the generals He Jin and Yang Biao. I finally earned the position of Guanhou for you and was responsible for organizing and training the ten thousand Polu army~
Damn it, if Zhang Wen's guy hadn't come out to stop you, you might have been awarded the title of Champion, it's really abominable~"
Ji Ling's words made Yuan Shu's heart tremble. Fortunately, he is not a champion. It's okay.
There were two champions in the Eastern and Western Han dynasties, and they were both glorious and glorious. One was Fenglang Juxu, and the other was Yan Ranle. This was the supreme honor of ancient China, but unfortunately the fate of the two champions was not good.
, an early and violent death, a master of great achievements was given death.
"Don't be discouraged. A champion can be rewarded casually. A champion is beyond my imagination, not to mention the organization of the Polu army. This is the most important thing."
"Lord, here is a handwritten letter from Lord Sikong to you."
"Really? Show me quickly~"
After receiving the handwritten letter from Ji Ling, Yuan Shu opened it directly.
"My son's highway kiss:
This time, my father has gone through all the trouble to obtain the title of Marquis for you, allowing you to establish a shogunate.
You are so popular this time, and you are the legitimate son of the Yuan family. In order to ensure your safety, all your father's requests before you go out are invalid. Now what you have to do is to play around as much as you like, and make trouble according to your temper. Which nobleman doesn't?
Just open your eyes and it will disappear, don't worry.
Only by defiling yourself and letting all parties relax their vigilance can you develop your own power with peace of mind.
Remember, no matter what happens, your father will be behind you, and the Yuan family will be behind you."
Linglong very wisely brought a brazier, and Yuan Shu lit Yuan Feng's handwriting on fire, threw it into the brazier, and stared at it turning into ashes.
"Don't worry, let's go make trouble. Father, I will make trouble even if you don't tell me. Liu Hong will die of illness soon, and the world will be in chaos. If we don't expand our strength now, it will be too late by then~"
"And what should we do with Zuozhou?"
Since Yuan Shu was not entangled, he had nothing to say. Suddenly he remembered that Yuan Shu asked him to take him to Zuozhou in Luoyang. He originally thought that he would be asked to go to the palace to show his face. Everyone who took him treated him as nothing, so he had to be
.brought it back again.
"Zuozhou, ask him if he wants to die or live. If he wants to die, he will be pushed to the square and beheaded. If he wants to live, he will use the gold, silver and jewelry they have accumulated over the years to pay for his life."
"No~"
Ji Ling stood up and was about to leave.
"Ji Ling, please be patient and don't be impatient. This matter should not be rushed. Linglong~"
Yuan Shu shouted at Linglong.
"Master~"
Linglong smiled slightly and bent slightly towards Yuan Shu.
"Prepare a banquet, and invite Yan Liang and Wen Chou to come over. Today I will take care of Ji Ling."
"No~"
In the evening, the living room is brightly lit.
Yuan Shu sat in the first seat, followed by Ji Ling, and Yan Liang and Wen Chou sat side by side.
"Ji Ling, Yan Liang, Wen Chou~"
"The humble position is here~"
All three people responded.
"I thought about it and decided to divide the Polu army into upper and lower armies. The upper army will have Ji Ling as its captain and the lower army will have Yan Liang as its captain. They will be responsible for training five thousand Polu elite soldiers respectively. At the same time, Changshan Wuqu
Compiled into one unit, the number was expanded to ten songs, with a total of five thousand elite soldiers, headed by Wen Chou, and the salary and treatment were equal to Ji Yan, how do you feel?"
"My lord, since Your Majesty has given you the right to open a palace and recruit troops, it is certainly feasible to break the army into two parts, but it is absolutely impossible to expand Changshan's five songs into ten."
"That's right, the state has national laws and families have family rules. It is really not allowed to expand the family. Otherwise, someone with a heart will sue you to Luoyang, and you will lose your official position in the least, and be beheaded in the worst."
Ji Ling and Yan Liang stood up together to persuade Yuan Shu.
"so what should I do now?"
Yuan Shu was stunned for a while. He really didn't know what was going on. Didn't he even have the right to expand the army by 2,500 people? Although Yuan Feng wanted him to make trouble, he really couldn't mess around with the expansion of the army.
"It's not difficult~"
Wen Chou, who was drinking at the side, rolled his eyes and suddenly said to Yuan Shu.
"Say something quickly~"
Looking at Wen Chou, Yuan Shu felt an indescribable fondness. Although he looked ugly, his strength was first-class, even half a step ahead of Yan Liang.
"His Majesty once issued an imperial edict, ordering all states and counties to form and train their own militia to resist the Yellow Turbans and defend the country. Until now, this imperial edict has not been revoked. If the lord wants to form and train a new army, the best thing is to do so under the banner of
The flag of the training militia is underway~"
Wen Chou's words were like a ray of light, directly opening Yuan Shu's memory. He recalled the scene in the first episode of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms where Liu, Guan, and Zhang Taoyuan became sworn brothers, and then organized and trained militia groups.
