In Pingkang Fang, the Flying Cavalry also set up a recruiting point in the Fang. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Before the recruitment point, there were very few participants, and occasionally someone asked, and they would shake their heads and leave!

After dealing with government affairs for a day, Gao Shengyan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, heard that the Flying Cavalry Army was recruiting troops in Pingkangfang, and forcibly changed the way of recruitment.

Gao Shengyan smiled at the corner of his mouth, holding the attitude of watching jokes, the carriage stopped in front of Wangjiang Tower, turned his head from time to time to look back, and walked into Wangjiang Tower!

I ordered a pot of warm wine, ordered two or three side dishes, and sat next to the window on the second floor.

From sunrise to dusk, about two hours, Gao Shengyan was always in a good mood, and unconsciously, he drank three pots of wine, and the pastries in the dining table were also changed and changed.

By dusk, he saw with his own eyes that the Flying Cavalry was only recruiting thirty or forty people in Pingkangfang, and with a slight hum, he closed the window and turned to leave the private room.

Chang'an one hundred and eight squares, if each square recruits thirty or forty people, it is only three or four thousand.

Walking downstairs and paying for the wine, Gao Shengyan hummed a small tune, walked out of Wangjiang Tower, sat in the carriage, and instructed the coachman: "Go, Yuwen Mansion!" ”

At this time, Yuwen Mansion was still full of friends, but there was no wine and laughter. Twenty or thirty people, some with joyful faces, some with bitter faces, did not have the excitement of the night before, pushing the cup and changing the scene!

When Gao Shengyan walked into the main hall, he saw that the military generals of Wenchen who had gathered in Yuwen Mansion last night were almost all gathered, and said with a smile: "King Yan does not give up, he is still recruiting troops today, and in Pingkangfang, only thirty or forty people are recruited, hahaha, funny, really funny!" ”

Usually, when I heard a joke about Yang Yue, I would definitely laugh and fall into the ground.

Today, no one in the civil officials and generals present laughed, and occasionally some people chuckled, but it was also a bitter smile!

Gao Shengyan looked at the officials and generals in the front hall with calm faces, his expression was stunned, and he couldn't help but ask Hubu Shangshu: "Liu Shangshu, what's the matter, isn't it that everyone has suddenly changed their sex, and King Yan can't recruit new soldiers, isn't it worth being happy?" ”

"King Yan hasn't recruited new recruits, where do you start?" Liu Zuoyang asked rhetorically, today, he went to the area of Yanpingmen because of official business, and saw with his own eyes the scene of longbows and tenant farmers flocking to join the army.

Hearing this, Gao Shengyan was a little confused in his heart, in the afternoon, within two hours, he clearly saw that the Flying Cavalry Army was only recruiting thirty or forty people in Pingkangfang, but listening to Liu Zuoyang's tone, the Flying Cavalry seemed to be recruiting a lot of recruits. "What's going on, ladies and gentlemen, who knows more?"

"Gao Shangshu, Pingkangfang, Dongshifang, Xishifang, etc., among the one hundred and eight squares in Chang'an, a slightly prosperous place, the flying cavalry did not recruit many recruits, more than 100 people, less than dozens of people, in Dongshifang, not even a single soldier was recruited." The left servant shot He Hengrui stared at Gao Shengyan, not as optimistic as Gao Shengyan, and said: "However, King Yan is in the area of Yanpingmen, Fengyi Liufang, at least recruit more than 10,000 new troops, Guiyi, Zhaoxing, Datong, Da'an Four Fang, also recruit six or seven thousand soldiers, according to the current situation, two days after tomorrow, the Flying Cavalry may recruit more soldiers, before the middle of the month, I am afraid that it will be easy to recruit 100,000 people!" ”

"How is that possible?" Gao Shengyan was surprised, and asked in a lost voice, in his opinion, King Yan canceled the rent of officers and soldiers, and paid directly with silver, and no one joined the army.

How could it be that nearly 20,000 recruits were suddenly recruited in the six squares near Yanping Gate and the four squares in Guiyi?

At this time, Liu Zuoyang looked bitter and a little angry, and said: "Gao Shangshu, I underestimate King Yan, and even more so the power of silver, the group of untouchables in the Fengyi area, when they heard that ordinary soldiers participated in the Flying Cavalry Army, they had at least three taels of silver every month, so it was strange not to rush to it!" ”

"Isn't there anything to stop it?" Gao Shengyan sat cross-legged on the cushion and asked unwillingly.

He Hengrui reminded: "How to stop it, King Yan is recruiting troops in one hundred and eight squares in Chang'an City, and everyone knows it, if you block it secretly, once someone pokes it out, the matter will be big, and the emperor will know about it, do you still want to mix in the court?" ”

"But, the left servant shooting, is it watching King Yan recruit 100,000 cavalry?" Gao Shengyan looked unhappy, yesterday, he informed the government soldiers that they were not allowed to participate in recruitment, he had completely offended Yang Yue, if the other party consolidated his position little by little, he would be forcibly eradicated by Yang Yue sooner or later.

For a while, there was silence in the main hall, none of them wanted to watch Yang Yue's position consolidate, but they were helpless.

In silence, Yuwen Shi, who was sitting in the center of the main hall, said: "Everyone still despises King Yan's methods, and the matter of recruiting soldiers for the Flying Cavalry Army has passed, and everyone has been quiet recently, wait patiently for the right opportunity!" Who feels unhappy and takes the initiative to provoke King Yan, don't blame the old man for not reaching out to help! ”

The matter of recruiting troops is already unstoppable, and the people are like a surging flood, no one can stop it, and if you forcibly block it, you will definitely be drowned by the monstrous flood!

Yu Wenshi knows very well that sitting in the official has the ability to suppress public opinion, but it will cause an uproar and set himself on fire!

…………

In the Yanwang Mansion, in the study, Yang Yue was sitting on the soft couch, Yan Yuefeng, Sima Kuo and other five people were there, their faces were full of smiles, talking softly to each other, waiting for Yang Yue to make a decision.

Sima Kuo stepped forward, swept away the haze of the day before yesterday, and said happily: "Lord Wang, great joy, at the end of today, I will recruit more than 15,000 new soldiers with General Zhou in the six squares around Yanping Gate. General Li and General Yang have also raised more than 6,000 soldiers in the four squares of Guiyi, and according to today's momentum, it is estimated that they will be able to easily recruit 100,000 people before the middle of the month. ”

However, Yang Yue didn't have much smile on his face, on the contrary, his expression was very solemn, and he reminded: "Sima Saijiu, you are too optimistic, today's recruitment, this king is just to build momentum, except for the inherent 10,000 veterans in the Flying Cavalry Army, today's real recruitment, Chang'an one hundred and eight squares, the real number is only more than 10,000 people." Moreover, the recruitment of local soldiers may not all meet the requirements of the king, and after the internal assessment, it is difficult to predict how many suitable soldiers can be selected! ”

"Lord, you mean....?" For a while, Sima Kuo was a little confused, but soon realized that it was incredible. It is no wonder that at the beginning of the recruitment, many people were impassioned and enthusiastically joined the army, but it turned out that in order to build momentum, more people were encouraged to join the army with longbows and tenant farmers!

Yang Yue's palm waved slightly, signaling Sima Kuo to be quiet, and continued: "Today's momentum is a good start, this king estimates that in the next two days, in Chang'an City, the number of people in each square will join the army, you must be prepared!" ”

"Yes, don't worry!" Sima Kuo's six people hugged their fists together.

At this time, Yan Yuefeng stepped forward, looked at Yang Yue and asked, "Lord Wang, is the training of the Flying Cavalry still in accordance with the training method of the Right Martial Guard?" (To be continued.) (To be continued.) )
