"Wen Ji," Yuan Xi said softly, "If nothing else, your father will come over in a few days." You'll have to persuade him when the time comes. ”

Cai Yan hasn't asked about this recently, but now when he heard Yuan Xi mention it, he immediately became excited, and said excitedly: "Husband, do you mean it really?" ”

"When did the husband cheat on you?" Yuan Xi smiled: "It's just that your father is too difficult, and there are some things going wrong on the road, in short, when he comes, don't let others know the news of his coming, is it clear?" ”

"Yes, husband." Cai Yan took a deep breath and responded softly.

Yuan Xi gave a few more commands, then said goodbye to the second daughter and walked outside.

Walking to the gate, Yuan Xi summoned Yuan Le and Yuan He, and said to the two: "Madame, every time you go out, you two must follow, if there is a problem, I will only ask you two." ”

"Please rest assured, the second son, we will protect Mrs. well."

After Yuan Xi told everything in the house, he took Yuan Xiang and Yuan An to set off on a fast horse.

Since Yuan Shao had already sent someone to say, there was no need for Yuan Xi to go to Yuan Shao to report, Yuan Xi could go straight to Yangxin under Bohai by car.

At noon, Yuan Xi and his entourage, who had been speeding all the way, finally arrived in Yangxin.

Leading the horse into the city, Yuan Xi saw a long line in the city from a distance, slowly moving forward.

Unexpectedly, before he came, he had already started recruiting troops, Yuan Xi was stunned, and walked forward at a faster pace.

After a while, he walked to a government office, a square table, a middle-aged man who looked like a literati, was writing hard.

Yuan Xi gave him a look, and Yuan An quickly stepped forward to ask, and then turned back to him and said, "It was the lord's subordinate Shi Liangli who asked him to recruit troops first." ”

"Liang Li?" Yuan Xi frowned slightly, he didn't have this person's information in his head, he thought it was an unfamous account official in Yuan Shao's early stage. This time, it is estimated that he came to assist himself in the name of Yuan Shao.

But this person is also interesting, he didn't come to recruit soldiers first, and he is not an ordinary ignorant eye.

Before Yuan Xi reached the door, he saw a chubby man swaying out of it, looking at his face, about thirty years old.

"Humble Liang Li, see Second Son."

Liang Li saw Yuan Xi, his small eyes widened instantly, and he bowed his head.

A smile appeared in Yuan Xi's eyes, and he said falsely: "Liang Changshi is exempt, this recruitment, I hope you and I will cooperate more." ”

Liang Li smiled, his little eyes were almost squeezed into his round fleshy face, "The second son is modest, this time I came here to assist the second son on the order of the lord, I haven't seen the second son arrive for a long time, so I will start recruiting troops first, and I hope the second son will not be blamed." ”

"Sooner or later, you have to recruit soldiers, so what's to blame." Yuan Xi smiled, "But this long team of people, the speed is a little slow, it is better to divide into two teams, today you and I have to raise a lot, Liang Changshi, what do you think?" ”

Liang Li nodded and said, "It should be like this." Just as he wanted to call someone to come over to record, Yuan Xi interrupted him and said, "I have Yuan An available, so I don't need to call others anymore." ”

Yuan An understood, walked directly to the prescription table and sat down.

Yuan Xiang on the side walked to the front of the long line, and a thick voice sounded: "People in the back can go to line up over there, now there are two locations that can apply." ”

The people in line were stunned, and immediately dispersed in a hurry, running over and not knowing how many.

Liang Li shook his head, said politely to Yuan Xi, and went in again.

Yuan Xi doesn't care about him, there are many talented people in Hebei, he inexplicably got the opportunity to recruit soldiers this time, so naturally he will not let go of the opportunity to know the talent. At that moment, he stood beside the middle-aged scribe and Yuan An, watching and listening one by one, the appearance and name of the people who came to sign up.

"Next."

"Adult, little Wu Song, locals, hehe."

Yuan An raised his eyes and looked at the thin man, nodded, and recorded his name and address.

"Next ......"

Yuan Xi waited behind them for most of the hour, and he didn't hear any thunderous names, so he couldn't help but be a little impatient. At the same time, he is also a little self-deprecating, where is this celebrity so easy to know.

asked Yuan Xiang to bring a bench for himself, Yuan Xi leaned against the shelter of the wall, and looked at the ordinary people who came to apply for the recruitment with some boredom.

Recruiting sounds fun, but in fact, that's what it is, and after a long time, I'm a little too lazy to watch it again.

When he closed his eyes and took a nap, when he was in a daze, Yuan Xi heard the man again: "Little Zhang Nan, a person from Dingguo, has learned some stick marksmanship since he was a child. ”

Yuan Xi's eyes opened suddenly, and he looked at the person in front of Yuan An seriously, looked at it for a while, and then came up again: "Xiao Jiao Touch is also a person from Dingguo, and my martial arts are a little better than Zhang Nan." ”

A smile appeared in Yuan An's eyes, and he turned his head to look at Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi was also a little funny at this time, these two people would be the generals under his command in the future, but he didn't expect to be known by himself now, and he was really destined.

Zhang Nan and Jiao Touch in memory rebelled against Yuan after Yuan Shao's death, established themselves in Youzhou, and surrendered to Cao Cao soon after, and were named liehous, but during the Battle of Chibi, the two were brave and both died.

Well, counting it, the two of them are just third-rate generals, and their sincerity is not enough, Yuan Xi is thinking about whether to reuse the two of them.

Yuan Xi leaned against the wall, stared at it for a while, and thought: "At that time, the Yuan clan was declining, and there were countless surrenderers, so the two of them were just taking advantage of the trend. If it is reused today, the two of them were generals at the beginning, and they must be much stronger than ordinary soldiers, use them well, they are not Yuan Xi in the past, what is there to be afraid of?

At that moment, he called the two of them over, inquired, and said with a smile: "You two fight against each other, let me see the martial arts, if it is true as you two said, I will give you centurion." ”

Zhang Nan and Jiao were overjoyed, and after Yuan Xiang drew a circle, the two started fighting.

After dozens of rounds of back-and-forth fights, Yuan Xi asked the two to stop, and said with a smile: "I am Yuan Xi, the second son of Bohai Taishou, and you two should remember that you will come here tomorrow to report, and you two will temporarily take the centurion yourself." The official position I can give is only so big, if I make another contribution in the future, I will definitely report to my father and promote you two. ”

Zhang Nan and Jiao Touch are just Dingguo rangers, they came to join the army today, and they were still muttering about whether they could be selected, but they didn't expect to be directly promoted to centurion, how could they not like it at the moment, kneeling down is to kowtow, shouting that they will repay Yuan Xi in the future.

Yuan Xi said in his heart: If you two don't rebel against me in the future, it's okay, if you repay me or something, forget it.
