Chapter 23, the pattern, the pattern is small

Ran Mingyue helped her parents to the bed, took a good bath, and waited until the next day when the sun slightly peeked out of her head.

A brave man wearing armor, a helmet, and a sword at his waist came to the elder's bed and suddenly knelt on the ground.

"Dong dong dong~~~!"

She kowtowed hard three times, her eyes filled with tears. After saying goodbye this time, she didn't know if there would be a chance to meet again in this life. She really wanted to stay in front of her parents for the rest of her life, as a sign of filial piety.

"Father, mother, please consider your daughter unfilial. If you go to the battlefield and survive by chance, you will definitely come back to serve your two elders..."

Wiping away my tears, I walked resolutely outside, feeling as if the wind was blowing and the water was cold.

In the military camp outside the city, everyone has already assembled.

"2998..."

"2999..."

"Hey, there is another Ran Jing, why hasn't he arrived?" Mi Le closed the military register with a gloomy look on his face.

"Military law, no waiting after the deadline, and those who have not arrived will be punished as deserters~~~~"

"Da da da..." The sound of horse hooves came from far and near, rushing in from the military camp.

"Uu~~~!"

"Hmph~~! Are you Ran Jing? Why did you come now?" Mi Le's face was full of displeasure, and he almost said directly, I am very unhappy now, because I have lost face in front of the superior.

Ran Jing bowed his hands and apologized, "Sorry, I bought a new horse, so I'm late."

"Wait~~!" Mi Le narrowed his eyes. He felt something was not right. He opened the military book. It clearly recorded that Ran Jing was a veteran who had fought more than ten times. How could he be so young?

In fact, in this era, many people serve as soldiers in place of their fathers or brothers. It is also an unspoken rule that everyone in the army is well aware of.

But this time is different. Veterans are different from recruits. If they are recruits, they will be replaced. No one will care who the cannon fodder is.

But veterans are different. These people are just as courageous as recruits. In the eyes of the commander-in-chief, ten recruits are not worth one veteran.

Before Mi Le could say anything, Yang Qian walked out of the camp and asked impatiently, "Are you ready?"

"Colonel Lieutenant, there is a soldier whose identity is questionable... he may be an imposter." Mi Le ran to Yang Gan and whispered.

"Replace? A soldier? Forget it, that's it, go back quickly. I haven't taken a shower for three days, and I have lice on my body."

Yang Qian waved his hand, and Mi Le was helpless. A large force of three thousand people set off towards Yuntong City. Not to mention, the people in Wufeng County were all wealthy people. A group of three thousand people,

With a thousand cavalry, Yang Qian suddenly felt that the gold in his family no longer tasted good.

One thousand horses, even ordinary war horses, would cost ten thousand gold. Of course, pack horses would be cheaper, but pack horses couldn't fight. Yang Gan didn't understand horses, so he thought they were about the same. When he saw pack horses,

I thought it was a mule.

These people were in good physical condition. It only took half a day for the mighty team of three thousand to arrive at the largest military camp outside Yuntong City. Yang Qian had already greeted General Tian and made a separate camp for himself.

Come to the small camp.

"Old Tian, ​​I'm back~~~!" Seeing General Tian waiting for him at the door, Yang Gan ran towards the horse.

"Captain Yang, I didn't come here to wait for you." General Tian became arrogant, not at all like his usual dignified self.

"Damn it, you arrogant bitch. If I haven't seen you for three days, your tail will go up to the sky."

He took out a piece of exquisitely crafted silk from his arms and handed it to Yang Qian respectfully. Yang Qian became curious and immediately opened it to check. After a while, his eyes widened.

He said happily, "Hey, now I want to call you Sheriff Tian. That's great. You can eat 2,000 shi. Tsk, tsk, tsk, you're rich."

General Tian bowed his head in the direction of Chao Xian and said with a smile, "I can't believe that your Majesty actually asked me to serve as the county governor and also the county magistrate, and I will be paid 3,000 shi."

This edict is entirely written in classical Chinese. Yang Qian could only relate it to the context, and many words were incomprehensible together.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Your Majesty, I really don't worry about you, I'm not afraid of you rebelling." Yang Qian teased.

Tian Zong's face changed wildly: "Young Master, be careful what you say, I am loyal to your Majesty, heaven and earth..."

"Stop it, I'm joking, you take it seriously, what about me?"

"Haha, Your Majesty has promoted you to the position of General, commanding an army of 2,000." After saying that, he handed him his identity certificate and a small brass seal.

"Oh, that's so stingy. There's no benefit at all. Why do you need an official position? It's better to pay for it."

Tian Zong also wanted to see Yang Gan's shocked expression. You must know that although General Anbei is good, he is only a general who leads the army. What is a county guard? It is the head of a county and a feudal official. In modern times, it is a province It's long, and General Anbei only has 1,000 shi, so his salary has doubled several times, and he can buy some more farmland in his hometown.

Who would have thought that this kid was not interested in an official position at all, but thinking about it again, he is already a king, so why would he want an official position?

"I want 2,000 people to train according to my method. Also, I want 2,000 sets of armor, helmets, heavy crossbows, iron halberds, shields, etc."

Tian Zong covered his head, "Are you a debt collector? Why are you so cruel? They are equipped with all kinds of weapons. They are just ordinary cannon fodder, not an elite force."

"Haha, isn't it too much?"

"Do you want to make meritorious deeds? Do you want to be ranked among the Nine Qings, shoulder to shoulder with the three princes?" Yang Qian said directly. Tian Zong is a man who only cares about money, but he really takes merit very seriously.

No one is perfect. Almost everyone has weaknesses. As long as you master them, you can carry out a devastating blow to the target person and control them.

If it were said from other people's mouths, Tian Zong would not believe it, but since it was Yang Qian who could say this, with his masterpiece of torturing the little master to death, it should be a bit of a stir.

"Appreciate further details."

Yang Gan smiled and said, "My method of training soldiers is different from yours. If I train all these 2,000 people into elite soldiers, equipped with the best weapons, armor, and horses, if I can destroy the Xiongnu, Lao Tian, ​​then the county guard What is there to do in this position? Why not be a general of hussars and generals of cavalry? Wouldn’t that be great?”

Yang Qian's words are exactly what Tian Zong wants. He doesn't like wine or money, as long as it's enough, he doesn't have much ambition for power, but he only has one hobby, which is to lead troops into battle to kill the enemy.

"Okay~~Then I'll send someone..."

"Stop sending people, I'll let the soldiers get it themselves." Before Tian Zong could finish speaking, Yang Gan took over and asked him to send weapons? Stop talking, Tian Zong doesn't care about money. , equipment is more important than life and foundation.

After all, he is the king's son. The armor he wears is the general's armor, and the defensive performance is considered top-notch on the border. But what about the iron halberd and the iron sword? They are all roadside products.

The purpose of giving yourself armor as a general is to prevent yourself from dying too quickly. Even the iron swords of the elite troops are much sharper than your own. It's just too picky.

Tian Zong's face was a little flushed. If Ji Zhao hadn't been the king's son and dared to touch his weapons, he would have had to take off his head. But he still calmed down and showed a smile that was uglier than crying: "Master, Remember to take less."

"Tsk tsk tsk, Lao Tian, ​​the pattern, the pattern is too small, you know?" Yang Qian said with a look of disdain.

Tian Zong was helpless, "Oh~~~ It's your own thing anyway, so feel free to take whatever you want, but don't waste a good weapon."

Yang Gan was not happy, and his smile gradually faded: "Old Tian, ​​do you think these weapons belong to me?"

"Isn't it? The entire Xia Kingdom belongs to the king, doesn't it belong to your family?"

Yang Gan shook his head, rarely showing a serious look on his face: "Old Tian, ​​this is wrong. The Xia Kingdom belongs to the entire Xia Kingdom, not my family."

Tian Zong, who was accompanying Yang Qian, was immediately startled, with a horrified look on his face. He looked at Mi Le and seemed not to hear him, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Young Master, be careful what you say. If word of this reaches Chaoxian, how big of a storm will this cause?" Tian Zong tried his best to suppress his overwhelming emotions.

"Will you betray me?" Yang Gan glanced at Tian Zong inexplicably.

"Don't worry, young master, I will never tell anyone."

After arriving at the armory, Yang Gan waved his hand to his men in the distance and shouted, "Come here, everyone, heavy crossbows, heavy bows, feather arrows, armors, halberds, take whatever you see, take the most." The general will give you many rewards for you."

"Wow~~~!"

Two thousand people suddenly burst into an uproar and rushed towards the armory crazily. Many people brought their own weapons, but they were just like that. Wufeng County is a large silk producer, and the blacksmiths there have no problem making farm tools and needles. Let them make weapons?

Weapons are linked to wealth and life, and there is no room for flaws.

What is the concept of two thousand people? Looking at it at a glance, Yang Qian thought that everyone would rush in and rob the huge area. Unexpectedly, under the arrangement of the veterans, the recruits entered the armory one by one in an orderly manner and carried the weapons. With many weapons and armor.

Only then did Yang Gan realize. No wonder Mi Le was not good at the veterans' treasures. Yes, that was autonomy. They knew what to do without the general saying anything.

Unlike the new recruits, who stood there stupidly, Yang Qian didn't say anything, and the new recruits had no reaction. They were no different from wood.

Two thousand people marched toward the nearby camp in a mighty manner. This place was organized by Tian Zong when Yang Qian left. His own training method was not very suitable for this era, although it was not far different, but it was mainly for the sake of confidentiality.

After the ordnance was put away, everyone came to the school grounds and saw a large crowd. Yang Gan took a closer look and saw that a group of people stood in a standard shape and were a bit older.

It was probably those veterans, and a large group of soldiers, standing sparsely, their faces still full of childishness, and their eyes showing confusion and a little fear.
