After hearing the mountain warrior announce his name, Wei Yan was stunned on the spot.
His mind was in a mess.
Obviously, this name shocked him.
The Tai surname was a noble surname more than a thousand years ago. One was a descendant of Taibo, the eldest son of King Zhou Tai, and the other was a descendant of Tai Dian, a minister of King Wen of Zhou. However, after more than a thousand years, the descendants of this scattered and declining aristocratic surname were scattered all over the country, and their lives were miserable.
It is also within common sense.
Wei Yan shook his head vigorously and stopped thinking blindly.
No matter what the origin of his surname was, this man was actually a real warrior. Wei Yan only needed to know this, and that was enough.
"Xiongtai's surname and first name are extremely extraordinary, and his background is definitely not ordinary. May I ask where Xiongtai is from?"
Taishan returned the greeting and said, "I dare not. I am just a barbarian from a small village. How can I be so extraordinary? I am from Taiyuan, Bingzhou, Hebei Province. Because of the large number of troops deployed from the north, and because Shifeng's family was defeated, I had no choice but to go to the Central Plains. How can I help the Central Plains?"
There have been many wars in the land in recent years, and the three great heroes in the north fought fiercely at Guandu, causing many disasters. I heard that Jingzhou is a land of prosperity and happiness, so I came south."
Wei Yan suddenly said: "So it turns out that this is just Brother Tai's skill. Since he came south to Jingzhou, why did he hide in the mountains and forests and bury himself in vain? Isn't it a pity?"
Taishan's face turned red, and he said with some embarrassment: "If you talk about this matter, it's really hard for me to talk about it. After I came down to the south, I secluded myself in the mountains and forests. On the one hand, I didn't want to get involved in the chaotic and troubled world, and on the other hand, I was not on the right track.
Thirdly, there are no people I know well, and secondly, I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child. Apart from being able to use swords, guns and sticks, I have no special skills. How can I make a living if I don’t live hunting in the mountains and forests?”
After Wei Yan heard Taishan's reasons, he felt that they were reasonable.
Today is a time of great chaos, and there are too many homeless people like him who have moved away to avoid disaster.
Wei Yan found a clean stone, asked Taishan to sit down with him, and said: "What Brother Tai just said, some people think it is not a big deal. You said you don't want to get involved in this chaotic world, but you don't know this
A time of great chaos is also a time of great strife. In this age of great strife, it is time to make achievements. My brothers have excellent martial arts. Could it be that they learned it just to shoot these birds and beasts? The man has a lot of skills, but he buries himself in the mountains and forests.
It’s such a pity.”
Seeing that Taishan seemed to be interested, Wei Yan continued to persuade: "As for the lack of proper guidance or recommended people, what do brothers Tai have to fear when I, Wei, are here?"
After Wei Yan said this, he saw Taishan showing a surprised expression: "General Wei is willing to introduce me? But, we have just met you?"
Wei Yan patted his chest vigorously and said: "So what if we just met? As the saying goes, heroes cherish heroes. It is an honor for me, Mr. Wei, to meet Brother Tai. I don't appreciate anything else in my life. What I admire most is having the ability and ability."
If you are still a humble person, if you don't dislike me, I will definitely recommend you to General Huang when I go back, and I hope that Brother Tai will not refuse."
Taishan was humble again, and Wei Yan finally agreed after a lot of hard work.
…
After recruiting soldiers and generals, Wei Yan immediately returned to Changwucheng and reported the results to Huang Zhong.
After Huang Zhong listened, he was satisfied with Wei Yan's results and praised them.
Wei Yan was very proud and said to Huang Zhong: "I have also recruited a brave man for General Huang this time, which will be of great use!"
When Huang Zhong heard what Wei Yan said and saw his serious face, he was quite curious, and then said: "Please tell me carefully about the article."
Wei Yan immediately reported to Huang Zhong the details of his excavation at Mount Tai.
Huang Zhong stroked his white beard, nodded while listening, and thought for a while: "Where is Mount Tai now?"
Wei Yan said with a smile: "Just wait outside the hall, waiting for General Huang to be summoned in person!"
Huang Zhong waved his sleeves and said boldly: "Let him come in! Let me see for myself, what a brave man he is!"
When he was young, Taishan was called into the hall to meet Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong looked him up and down for a while, then asked about his situation and where he came from.
Taishan answered truthfully, and there were no omissions.
Finally, Huang Zhong looked at Mount Tai carefully for a while and said, "Boy, how old are you this year?"
Taishan cupped his hands and said, "I just turned ten this year."
Huang Zhong saw that he was only about that big in appearance, so he counted the famous generals in Taoshang's camp with his fingers, and it seemed that they were indeed not that small.
"What skills do you have? Show me a few tricks!"
Taishan immediately said: "Please give me a sword, General Huang!"
Huang Zhong immediately ordered someone to take the knife.
There was no doubt that Taishan was Ah Fei, but Tao Shang specifically told him not to use a gun if he went to Huang Zhong's camp, because Zhao Yun once felt that Ah Fei's marksmanship was quite familiar, and Tao Shang would inevitably find Huang Zhong's flaw and let him
He tried to use as few guns as possible.
In addition to practicing spear since childhood, A Fei was also quite proficient in other martial arts. He immediately took a big sword and showed it in front of Huang Zhong in the courtyard.
As the saying goes, an expert will know if he is good as soon as he makes a move. As soon as Huang Zhong saw Taishan's martial arts, he knew that this person was very capable. He must be a good hand who has practiced spear and stick hard since he was a child.
At least for now, this guy's martial arts skills should not be inferior to Wei Yan's.
Huang Zhong stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction.
If this boy is well trained, he will definitely become a fierce general in the future. If he faces the Jinling Army this time, he will surely be of great use.
Huang Zhong stood up and told Wei Yan: "This child is indeed very capable. Chief Wen, you need to train him well. The enemy is coming in the near future. I will let him be by your side so that you can train him well. He will be established the next day."
Thanks to your hard work, I will definitely put him to good use."
Taishan hesitated for a moment, then suddenly said: "General Huang saw that I have not made any meritorious service, so it is reasonable for him not to give me a military position, but I wonder how many stones this monthly salary ration is worth?"
Huang Zhong was stunned when he heard this.
Why did this guy ask me about my monthly salary as soon as I got here?
This is too immodest!
Wei Yan frowned and said, "Brother Tai, please don't be rude. General Huang is such a heroic figure, so naturally he won't treat you badly."
Taishan's face turned red: "I was just asking."
Huang Zhong came back to his senses, smiled, raised his hand and pointed at Wei Yan: "You can have as much as he takes, okay?"
Taishan turned to look at Wei Yan and said, "General Wei, how much salary do you get every month?"
Wei Yan rolled his eyes and almost slapped him.
Taishan asked Huang Zhong directly about the monthly salary. The pottery merchant had taught him in advance and strictly required him to do it.
Although asking for money directly would arouse Huang Zhong and Wei Yan's resentment, it could invisibly eliminate their suspicions.
You need to know that a person with no desires and strong abilities suddenly appears in front of Huang Zhong and Wei Yan. They may be very happy at first, but as time goes by, they will think... such a powerful person, how can he run away?
When you come to me, you are very righteous and have no desires or desires. Is there something wrong?
On the other hand, Ah Feiyue was consulting about money. Let them see that he came to join the army for a purpose and that he was an ordinary person with emotions and material needs. Only then would they completely let down their guard and stop turning Taishan into a spy.

This routine is the same as how Liu Bang proclaimed himself emperor and Xiao He took the initiative to be greedy for money.
