"The grass-roots people pay homage to Lord Zhou Mu."
"The grass-roots people pay homage to Lord Zhou Mu."
Xu Huang and Wang Xiang knelt down in front of Yuan Shu.
"Okay, come with me."
Yuan Shu smiled and helped the two of them up.
"Lord Zhou Mu, don't know where you want to take us?"
Xu Huang frowned and asked Yuan Shu.
"Where to go? Of course to the Prefectural Shepherd's Mansion. You are frightened after all today. I have to throw a banquet to help you calm down."
Seeing Xu Huang frowning, Yuan Shu still smiled.
"Sir, I still have my mother and young brother at home waiting for me to return, so I won't go to the Prefectural Mufu."
Xu Huang had no objection, but Wang Xiang shook his head.
"What's so difficult about this, Zhang Di."
"The humble duty is here."
Ying Yang, who took the lead, quickly responded with his troops.
"You immediately take people to Wang Xiang's home and bring his mother and younger brother to the Prefecture Mufu."
"No, please tell me the address, little brother."
Zhang Di returned the gift and quickly got on his horse. After asking for Wang Xiang's address, he led his men and ran out of the city.
"Let's go."
After everything was arranged, the two obediently followed Yuan Shu on the prepared carriage and rushed to the Prefecture Mufu.
The banquet was quickly served, with Yuan Shu taking the lead, and Xu Huang and Wang Xiang sitting at the vice banquet.
After all, Xu Huang was one of the best generals in the future, and he could remain calm and composed in the face of such a scene, but Wang Xiang was not stage frightened at all at such a young age, and Yuan Shu couldn't help but look at Wang Xiang high.
"Wang Xiang."
"The grassroots are here."
"Have you ever been able to read?"
After all, Wang Xiang was only in his teens. Ninety percent of the people in the late Eastern Han Dynasty were illiterate. Wang Xiang's father had passed away, so Yuan Shu asked this question.
"Literacy, my father taught me when he was still alive."
Wang Xiang bowed his hands to Yuan Shu.
"I want to open a school in Jizhou to help students solve their doubts. At the same time, I want to set up a university and invite Cai Yongcai to teach. Are you willing to come to school?"
Now that Cai Yong has arrived in Jizhou, Yuan Shu has no intention of letting him idle. He plans to set up a public school in Jizhou to teach school-age children how to read and write for free.
The top of the school is the university, with Cai Yong as the principal and responsible for everything. Although this has not been discussed with Cai Yong, he believes that Cai Yong will not refuse this proposal.
"Cai Yongcai is starting classes, can I go and study?"
Hearing Yuan Shu's words, Wang Xiang, who was still very elegant at first, suddenly lost his composure. After all, not everyone has the opportunity to learn from Cai Yong.
"What Honshu Mu said is worth a thousand dollars."
Looking at Wang Xiang, Yuan Shu couldn't help but smile. After all, he was still a child and could not express his emotions and emotions.
"Thank you so much, sir."
Wang Xiang quickly got up from the wine table and saluted Yuan Shu as his disciple.
"It doesn't matter. The so-called wise eye recognizes heroes. Being able to recruit a disciple for the Cai family is also considered the beauty of an adult."
After Yuan Shu finished speaking, he glanced at Xu Huang who was drinking.
"Lord Zhou Mu, look at what I do. I am a martial artist. I'm afraid Cai people can't teach me."
Xu Huang drank all the wine in one gulp, and then spoke to Yuan Shu.
"Gongming, are you willing to recognize me as your lord, overcome obstacles for me, and accomplish great things?"
When it comes to military generals, Yuan Shu doesn't have that many tricks up his sleeve. A straightforward attack is sometimes more effective than anything else.
"I have to think about this, and I can't give you an answer for the time being."
Yuan Shu wanted Xu Huang to recognize him as his master as soon as they met, which made him a bit unable to turn around. In fact, in this letter, he had the idea of defecting to Yuan Shu, but that was just an idea.
"I am going to form a new army called the Yokoye Army, with a tentative number of ten thousand people. If Gongmei is willing, you must be General Yokoye."
Yuan Shu remembered the general title that Xu Huang once held, General Hengye, so he wanted to establish the Hengye Army.
"Me? General Yokono?"
Yuan Shu's words almost frightened Xu Huang. He had just met his first general and asked him to command an army of ten thousand soldiers. How confident he was.
"That's right, Hengye Army means running rampant in all directions and being invincible. I think you, Xu Huang and Xu Gongming, can do this as General Hengye."
Yuan Shu nodded.
Xu Huang felt that Yuan Shu's behavior was a bit difficult to understand, but he didn't know that Yuan Shu knew everything about him.
"Your Majesty, you believe in me so much? If I were just a loser, wouldn't I have ruined an entire army for nothing?"
Looking at Yuan Shu's firm eyes, Xu Huang was a little shaken.
"I, Yuan Shu, have always believed in my own vision. If I say you can do it, you can do it. Why, do you feel that you can't handle the important task? If that's the case, then let it go. I don't know how to judge people."
Xu Huang can say this, which proves that there is a chance to accept him. The saying that it is better to provoke a general than to invite a general, it is simply to throw out a provoking method.
"I, Xu Huang and Xu Gongming, have never been weaker than others since I returned from learning martial arts. Since you value me so much, Xu Huang is willing to serve your lord as a dog and horse."
Having said this, Xu Huang's arrogance also rose. As the saying goes, "Wen Wu is the first and Wu Wu is the second." He can do what others can do, and he can do it better. Therefore, the Yokoye Army
He took the job.
"Ding dong, congratulations to the host for recovering the famous general Xu Huang. You will get a special lottery opportunity." (Note: The host needs to establish a Yokoye Army within three months and hand it over to Xu Huang for training, otherwise the relationship between Xu Huang and the host will become hostile.)
"Okay, okay, come, let's have a drink together and pay tribute to my General Yokono."
Seeing Xu Huang's name turn emerald green, Yuan Shu was completely relieved. There was nothing more satisfying than regaining a famous general.
"Thank you, Lord."
"Congratulations to Brother Xu for being promoted to General Hengye."
Wang Xiang also raised a toast. Xu Huang was a blessing in disguise this time. Not only did he become a genuine general, but he was also able to lead an army on his own. This was simply a way to reach the sky in one step.
"Okay, Wang Xiang, as long as you return from your studies, I will at least give you a governor and let you govern the country."
Feeling Wang Xiang's sourness, Yuan Shu chuckled.
"Wang Xiang would like to thank Mr. Zhou Mu in advance. I will study hard and live up to your trust."
After listening to Yuan Shu's words, Wang Xiang also became excited and decided to appoint the prefect. This operation can be done.
"Okay, then I'll wait for you to come back from your studies. Cheers."
"Thank you, Lord."
"Thank you, sir."
After the guests of honor had a great time, Wang Xiang's stepmother and brother were picked up by Yuan Shu and had a feast. Then Zhu was placed in the Prefecture Mufu to work, which ensured that their family would have no worries about food and clothing.
Time flew by, day and night passed by, and finally it was the day of Yuan Shu's wedding.
On this day, the entire city of Xindu was awash in red, with red hangings in front of every house, and the prefecture's pastoral office turned into a sea of red.
Cai Yong took his wife and children out of the city in the morning and went to the specially built post house five miles away.
When the auspicious moment came, three thousand cavalrymen wearing red armor and riding red horses went as the vanguard towards Xindu.
