"There's nothing to be surprised about. I heard that a lot of large family's women have all gone to register. They don't want anything that isn't pretty."
Although Yang Lin was only preparing to recruit over a hundred female soldiers, he didn't expect that not only would it cause a stir in Chi County, it would also cause a stir in the entire Youzhou and the other Jizhou. Within a few days, it had spread throughout the various counties of Youzhou. There was an endless stream of young and strong people coming to register for the army. Every day, tens of thousands of people would come to the registration office to watch the show.
Liang Tian and Dong Jian stepped aside in the crowd and heard the discussions of the crowd. They only chuckled, but their eyes continued to look around professionally as their eyeballs kept rolling around. Not long later, they arrived at the entrance of a hotel. Liang Tian raised his head to look at the pretense of "Zhuo County Wine", and nodded at Dong Jian.
"Here it is."
Once the two entered the hotel, the bartender came to welcome them. Facing the passionate and smiling faces of the bartender, Liang Tian and Dong Jian did not have a single trace of a smile on their faces. Liang Tian waved his hand and walked towards a seat close to the window. This was the distance of their line, sitting by the door and windows, making it easier to escape.
"Pour us a cup of water, we'll wait for someone."
Seeing that the two of them did not ask for food or wine, the bartender left unhappily. Liang Tian did not bother with him. Just as he turned his head, he saw a familiar gaze looking at them from outside the window. Their four eyes met, and they smiled at each other. Liang Tian shook his head, and then that person walked over to the hotel.
"Congratulations to the two of you for your good fortune, in just a few days, you two have become a thousand generals of the Youzhou Army. I say, is your ancestral grave smoking? "
"Hehe, Brother Wu Feng, this is called the turning point of the times. Speaking of which, it's quite a coincidence that we ran into Lord Yang. However, us brothers haven't forgotten about you guys even though we have a future ahead of us. Didn't I send you a message for you guys to come? "
The person called Wu Feng was a skinny little guy who seemed to be around thirty years old. He had a fair face and two big eyes that were brimming with vigor, just like a scribe. But who would have known that this was the famous bandit Wu Feng's Shadowless Hand.
"What is it? Let me be an officer too? "
"Yeah, that's what we meant when we sent you a message."
"Isn't this a joke? My famous bandit turned into a government official in the blink of an eye? I'm not even used to it myself. "
"Hehe, speaking of this, I am now a thousand generals of the Youzhou Army. On the streets, there are at most a hundred generals. But even if I see those soldiers, I'm still very cautious. "
"Hahaha …"
The three of them laughed, both happily and self-deprecatingly. Even as a bandit, the fear hidden in his heart reminded him that he had once been a bandit.
"Let me be your soldier. If your Lord Commander finds out, they won't punish you, right?"
"Hehe, you're overthinking it. Lord Commander let go of us to recruit soldiers, and we even specially recruit brothers from the underworld."
"Ah …"
This time, it was Wu Feng's turn to be shocked. He raised his head, and looked at Liang Tian and Dong Jian with eyes full of questions. With his experience, Liang Tian and Dong Jian did not lie to him, and he could not help but shake his head.
"I really don't understand. Other officials would recruit young and strong male s. But your Youzhou Army is recruiting female soldiers and craftsmen, that's one thing, but why are you recruiting brothers? "
"Hehe, you don't know about this, right? There is a division in the army called exorcism, which is a scout, spy, and specializes in spying on the enemy. Our lord wanted us to recruit brothers from the underworld just for this, understand? "
"Ah …" This Lord Commander is really considerate. "
Wu Feng nodded his head heavily, he obviously knew what the exorcism was doing, the other teams all picked some smart soldiers to serve as their exorcism, but this lord did not trouble them, he actually wanted to recruit their brothers.
"What do you think?"
"If I work for you, give me an official?"
"Hehe, if you can recruit 180 brothers from the underworld, then you are a hundred generals."
"Alright, it's a deal then."
According to Yang Lin's description and requirements, they quickly designed the Takahashi's saddle, stirrups on both feet, and the style of the horseshoe palm. With the efforts of over a dozen blacksmiths, carpenters and cobblers, it only took them a day to produce a few samples.
After the sample was taken out, Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang tested it out. The effect was not ordinary, Zhang Shiping immediately ran over and invited Yang Lin to the stable to see their results. Yang Lin wanted to let his brothers try out these new harness s, so he invited all his brothers and went to the stable together.
Just as Yang Lin and his brothers arrived at the horse shed, a group of female riders suddenly ran over. Everyone turned to look, to see that it was Kang Ying and Zheng Wei bringing their girls here. They were all wearing iron helmets, wearing silver armor, carrying bows and arrows, and carrying sabers at their waists. All of them were fair, delicate, and valiant.
"Hehe, what a mighty female general!"
Seeing Kang Ying and Zheng Wei's heroic bearing, Yang Lin smiled and greeted them. In order to choose a new set up female cavalry unit, Yang Lin asked Kang Ying and Zheng Wei to recruit female soldiers and to choose a fresh and lowly woman.
"Lord Commander, there is a person who wishes to join the female cavalry." Lord Commander, there is a person who wishes to join the female cavalry.
Zheng Wei walked up, cupped his fists and bowed towards Yang Lingong, and said loudly, looking like he was doing business. Yang Lin told her to call him big brother, but she insisted on calling him Lord Commander. There was nothing Yang Lin could do, he just let her do it.
"Who is so important that you guys have to come and ask for instructions?"
"That's her!"
Kang Ying suddenly pulled a lady, fully armed, and pushed her in front of Yang Lin. With so many girls, Yang Lin had never looked at anyone seriously, nor was he able to recognize them. However, Yang Lin felt that they were all very familiar, and that they seemed to be acquaintances. Who was she?
"She's Xiao Qing."
"Ah …" Xiao Qing? "
Wasn't Xiao Qing Hua Tuo's little disciple? How could he be a girl? No wonder why Yang Lin felt that it was so familiar, but Yang Lin really did not recognize the sudden change in attire. But now that Xiao Qing had changed into his medical worker clothes, he looked a lot better than when he was wearing his clothes.
is Mr. Hua Tuo's daughter, upon hearing that we wanted to recruit female soldiers, he ran over to us, wanting to become our female soldier. She's a doctor, can't we consult you? "
"Hehe, so that's how it is. Xiao Qing, you want to become a female soldier, does Mr. Hua Tuo agree? "
"I've already told him, and he has to agree."
Xiao Qing pouted and said unhappily. Yang Lin could understand from one look that Hua Tuo definitely did not agree, but he could not be stubborn enough to let this little girl come. Yang Lin thought, and since this was a good chance to trap Hua Tuo, he smiled and said that to Xiao Qing.
"Well, I agree. Xiao Qing, just follow Kang Ying and Zheng Wei, the two big sisters. "
"Thank you Big Brother Yang Lin."
Only then did Xiao Qing start laughing happily, laughing so brilliantly. It could be seen that this little girl didn't want to learn medicine from Hua Tuo. A little girl her age was just when it was fun and lively, how could he be willing to treat patients? She pulled Kang Ying and Zheng Wei and was about to leave, but was stopped by Yang Lin.
"Kang Ying, Zheng Wei, Xiao Qing, you guys hurry up and pick out the fresh female, get her to make a headgear for everyone. There is anything drawn on it, the more frightening it is, the better it is."
"Just to scare people?"
"Right, to scare people."
"Alright, let's go."
"Wait, come take a look at our new harness."
Yang Lin waved his hand, Su Shuang brought out a horse, and placed the completed Takahashi's saddle down, and then used a piece of leather to bind it, causing the Takahashi's saddle s to be connected to his stirrups. The tall, fresh horse, coupled with the Takahashi's saddle made the warhorse seem even more mighty.
"Aiya, big brother, this is a good thing! You only managed to figure it out in the stable for the past few days?"
Although no one knew about saddles or stirrups, they were all horsemen. The brothers were so intelligent that they understood the purpose of this thing the moment they saw it. Dian Wei's eyes were wide open as he quickly asked.
"Hehe, this is a good thing. Brothers, who wants to try first? "
If this was a normal situation, the brothers would definitely rush over. However, with the addition of Kang Ying, Zheng Wei, and Xiao Qing today, everyone became much more cultured in an instant.
"Neither of you are going up? "Then I'll do it."
Yang Lin did not stand on ceremony with them, he walked up and put one foot into the horse stirrup, then with a little strength, he jumped onto the horse and sat on top of the Takahashi's saddle, he casually took the spear from Zhao Yun's hands.
"Giddy …"
With a pinch of the horse belly, the large fresh horse started to gallop. Yang Lin hung the horse reins on the saddle and let the horse gallop forward. He sat on the horse and brandished his spear with both hands, as though he was extremely proficient in riding.
"Alright …"
Zhang Fei took the lead and shouted. The few brothers immediately followed suit, their faces full of joy. After Yang Lin ran a few rounds, everyone quickly surrounded him. Only then did they truly understand the meaning of this small Takahashi's saddle and its stirrups.
"Oh my god, with this thing, who in this world can be a match for us brothers?"
Guan Yu also stared closely at the saddle and stirrups. He had just heard Yang Lin mention forging it today and it was so suitable for him as well. This group of brothers, with such a huge warhorse and all this new stuff, destroying the yellow scarf would be a piece of cake.
"Big brother, this is a really good item."
"Hehe, let's take a look at the horseshoe palm."
Yang Lin waved his hands, and a few blacksmiths led their horses over to the two wooden stakes and fixed the horses. They then lifted up one of the horses' hind hooves, and used a brush to clean the horse's hoof, and then used a sharp knife to remove the wasted horn on the horse's hoof. They placed a metal lump that was the size of a horse's hoof at the horse's feet, took out a few barbed iron nails, swung the hammer and began to nail it up.
"Ah …"
Before they could scream for pain, Kang Ying, Zheng Wei, Xiao Qing and the rest cried out in shock. They immediately covered their eyes, and even the little girls turned their heads away. But the blacksmiths ignored their shouts and hammered their hands into the horses' hooves. Not long later, all four horseshoe palm were nailed to it.
"Brothers, who's going to give it a try now?"
"Allow me."
This time, Zhang Fei was no longer polite and took the lead to jump out. The horse ran even more merrily, as if in a new shoe, and jumped a few times on the ground. Zhang Fei was even more pleased with himself as he danced on his spear vigorously. After running a few rounds, he jumped down, still shouting loudly.
"It's fun, it's really fun! You don't have to worry about horses in the future when you're at war. "
Soon after, each of the brothers rode a few laps. In the end, Miss Zheng Wei could not hold back his curiosity. He personally jumped onto his horse and rode a few rounds.
"Lord Commander, load the horses you gave us as well."
"Alright, not only must your horses be mounted, all the horses that have set off must be mounted as well. Everyone, please do your best to build them as fast as possible, we cannot be held up in time to set off for the war. "
At about the same time, Liu Bei also slowly walked on the street. After just a few days, Liu Bei looked much more haggard. As he walked, his gaze was also searching the crowd, hoping to find his. Unfortunately, the pedestrians on the street were too ordinary.
"Big brother Liu Bei, you're here."
The one who called him was his fellow villager, Liu Shun, a young lad who often sold shoes with him. That day, after He Yi and the others found Liu Bei and settled the shoe making matter, Liu Bei found Liu Shun and asked him to help them recruit people. In the past few days, Liu Shun had recruited quite a few, so he came specially to take a look.
"How was the recruitment?"
"The craftsmen only recruited more than fifty men, all of whom wanted to join the army. Ever since the Youzhou Army started recruiting female soldiers, many of the young lad came over and asked us if we were recruiting, I had no choice but to send them away. "
"Oh, we only recruited over fifty people? This won't do, we still have to admit it. "
"Big Brother Liu Bei, aren't you the Han Dynasty, always saying that you want to take the enemy's side and restore the imperial court? Why don't you recruit? "
"Liu Shun, you don't know, but this recruitment requires brave generals, food, and money. I currently have nothing, so how can I recruit warriors?"
How could Liu Bei not want to recruit soldiers? But other than being filled with ambition, there was nothing for him to do. Liu Bei was also an extremely intelligent person, he had long seen that Yang Lin did not like him, and knew that he would have no future following him. Thinking of this, Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh towards the sky.
"Sigh …"
"This big brother here, what reason is there to sigh so deeply?"
Just as Liu Bei was feeling emotional standing, a loud voice came from behind him, scaring him out of his wits. He turned around and his eyes immediately lit up.
So it turned out that there were two tall Young people s standing behind him. The two were eight feet tall and tall. One of them carried a large hammer while the other carried a large axe. It was obvious that they were practicing martial arts.
Liu Bei who was feeling depressed was overjoyed, as if a rain had arrived after a long drought. However, he did not show a trace of excitement on his face.
"I am from Han Dynasty, my surname is Liu. Today, I heard that Yellowtowel advocated chaos, and had the desire to break the thieves and settle the people. I could not hate it, so I sighed deeply in my ears. "
"Oh, so Big Brother Liu Bei is also someone with ambitions. To be honest, Brother Liu Bei, the two of us came together, and just as we were about to submit to the Youzhou Army … How about we join the army together? "
"Oh, come come, brothers, it's fate that we meet each other. Let's go have a drink."
The three of them went to the hotel, ordered a few dishes and drank to chat. It turned out that the Young people with the sledgehammer was called Gao Li and the young and strong one with the axe was called Wang Zhi. One of them came from Guangyang and the other from fishing yang.
Their hometown had caused a ruckus, so they had no choice but to escape from their hometown. When they heard that the Youzhou Army was recruiting for female soldiers, both of them became interested and specially rushed over to join the army. They did not expect to meet Liu Bei halfway.
"Brothers, I can tell you two are current Hero and hero s with just one look. Now that I want to raise troops to put an end to the rebellion, with your help, my Han Dynasty will be safe. "Come, come, brothers, take up your wine glasses. We will drink this wine together and work together to help save lives. We will report this to the country, and we will go down to An-Li Shu."
Initially, the two of them came here from their hometown and wanted to go to Youzhou Army to look for food. The two of them were young and impulsive, but now that Liu Bei had said it, they stood up immediately and touched their wine cups with Liu Bei's, before raising their heads and drinking the wine.
"Big brother Liu Bei, since you are Han Dynasty, we will follow you. If you don't mind, the three of us will become brothers and work together to serve our country, how about it? "
Wang Zhi was also an enthusiastic person, and seeing that Liu Bei was from Han Dynasty, he immediately suggested to become sworn brothers. Hearing that, Liu Bei was so excited that he wanted to hug Wang Zhi and kiss him.
Immediately, the three of them went to the hotel and asked the bartender for Wu Niu, Bai Ma, and the rest to come. They placed the incense on a table, lit a candle, and placed the three offerings.
"Although Liu Bei, Gao Li and Wang Zhi have different surnames, and have become brothers, they will work together to save the situation, and report this to the country, with An Li Shu as his subordinate. Not for the same year and the same month, only willing to die the same day and the same month. For those who have lived through the heavens and earth, their hearts will be judged, their gratitude forsaken, and they will be massacred by all! "
After the oath, since Liu Bei was the oldest, he took Liu Bei as his boss, Gao Li as his second brother and Wang Zhi as his third brother. In the end, Liu Bei did not waste his work and found two of his underlings. He was satisfied with the results, so it was no wonder that he was smiling so happily from start to finish.
Liu Bei had finally found two of his lackeys, and their martial arts were not bad. Immediately, he changed the sign of recruiting craftsmen for the Youzhou Army into the sign of recruiting brave soldiers. It just so happened that in the past few days when the Youzhou Army was recruiting female soldiers, some of the unknown Young people s ran over to Liu Bei's side. In just two days of time, Liu Bei had recruited over a thousand people.
However, there was a person who was able to stop Liu Bei, where did the weapons and equipment come from? No matter how he thought about it, he still had to seek for those rich people to resolve the issue. Thus, he brought Gao Li and his two brothers to find people to resolve the issue. The rich people of Zhuo County were also frightened by the xanthopanax. When they heard that Liu Bei was going to level the traitors, they all began to speak generously, and Liu Bei also raised a lot of money.
