Chapter 12 The crow catches the purple mandarin duck

(Recommended reading: "Recruitment! It's time to recruit troops! …… The Metropolitan Governor is recruiting! ”

The four gates of Chang'an City were wide open, and a team of Hongling messengers rushed out quickly, and then held high the red flag and galloped to all the cities in Guanzhong.

At the same time, the pavilion chiefs, Lizheng and other grassroots officials in Guanzhong were all mobilized, each with a gong, and the crazy banging and shouting of ten miles and eight villages must let every household know a news~~ The metropolitan governor is recruiting!

In the Qinling Mountains, a remote mountain village, a notice for recruiting soldiers was also posted here!

"Recruitment? That Metropolitan Governor recruits soldiers? ”

"I don't know, I heard that it's a new official, and he's still very young!"

"Young people recruit soldiers, is it reliable?"

The news in the mountain village is closed, and there are almost no literate people among the poor people, and a large group of people are stunned around the recruitment notice, it knows me, I don't know it, except for the red and big seal on it, I don't know anything else!

"Dodged away, a group of blind people, and they couldn't recognize the word 'one' when they fell down, all of them were dogs looking at the stars!" At this time, an old pavilion chief who could barely write his name and had been to a big place in the county town outside the mountains appeared, pulling on broken cowhide boots, looking at the sky with both eyes, and full of superiority in front of the villagers, after all, he was a literate person!

"This is the 'Governor of the Western Expedition' who sits in Chang'an-Xiao Yi, Lord Xiao's recruitment notice~~, what, Lord Xiao doesn't know, I'm really angry with Lao Tzu~~ Ghost-faced Xiao Lang, the greedy wolf star monarch descended to earth, the one who is specifically responsible for collecting people's lives, now I know!"

"Ghost-faced Xiao Lang! …… Hiss! ”

As soon as these four words came out, all the onlookers shrank their necks in unison, and the timid ones took a few steps back, as if those four words were ghostly ghosts!

Nowadays, in the land of Guanzhong, even those old women in the countryside who don't know a big word and have never even been out of the village know the name of 'Ghost Face Xiao Lang', and women often use him to scare those children who refuse to sleep at night.

And this prestige is piled up with countless corpses and bones, on the bank of the Weishui River, 50,000 wolf-like Qiang iron cavalry were wiped out, and the number of people killed in the battle alone was as high as 20,000, and the rest of them were redeemed with cattle and sheep all over the mountains, and it is said that the Qiang people are now also using the words 'ghost face Xiao Lang' to scare children, and the effect is better!

How about Li Dao and Guo Yan, those are the two fierce generals under Dong Zhuo, who have dominated Guanzhong for several years, and even the emperor Lao Tzu dares to bully the master, but they were not captured by this 'ghost-faced Xiao Lang', and they also cut off the heads of the two thieves with their own hands!

Now it is rumored in many places that this Metropolitan Governor is the heavenly 'Greedy Wolf Star King', the main killing, responsible for harvesting human lives, he not only kills the living, eats human flesh, but also detains the soul of the deceased, and puts it into the Nine Netherworld Fire to be calcined~~

All kinds of legends are becoming more and more evil and terrifying!

Now it's the Metropolitan Governor recruiting troops, what a good opportunity! The onlookers were all moved.

Since the Qin Dynasty Legalist figure Shang Ying came here and implemented the 'farming and warfare system', he clearly pointed out to them two ways of life, one is to farm well and pay grain, to be a good farmer, and the other is to go into battle to kill the enemy, and exchange the enemy's head for the fields, houses, wives, and everything else they need!

If you don't farm, you will be a soldier, this way of thinking has been ingrained in the minds of the people in Guanzhong, and it has been passed down for hundreds of years, and now the world is in chaos, and it is almost impossible to farm, even if you plant it, you may not be able to eat the food in your mouth, so being a soldier is undoubtedly a very good choice!

Moreover, although Xiao Yat's murderous reputation is prosperous, he also has a lot of good reputations, such as generosity, love soldiers like sons, every time he wins a battle, he will reward the soldiers of the three armies according to his military merits, which is a reward of real money and silver, never in arrears, and in the army of this Grand Governor, he eats three meals a day, and the meal is dry rice, and he can eat meat and drink wine once every three days!

Oh my God, it was a fairy-like day, you must know that the poor people basically have two meals a day, drink porridge every meal, and only eat dry rice when the farm is busy, as for wine and meat, it is a delicacy that will only appear on the table during the New Year, just to be able to eat enough food, eat meat, this soldier is also worth becoming!

"I'm going to be a soldier, and I have meat to eat!"

"I'll go too, and I still have wine to drink, and I've been drinking it for several years!"

"And me, there is a shortage of a wife at home, and if you have military merits, you can buy one!"

The enthusiasm of the army was suddenly ignited, the people shouted one after another, and some of the anxious ones were about to turn around and run home, so as to take out the ancestral armor and sword, sharpen it, and oil it.

"Wait, wait, it's all monkeys with burning butts, I forgot what the ancestor said, those who can fight are not busy, the Metropolitan Governor is recruiting soldiers, but the notice also says that there are three kinds of people who don't want it!" Seeing that the crowd was about to be chaotic, the old pavilion chief slammed the gong in his hand and called the person back again!

"What's not to be a soldier? Strange! ”

Nowadays, in order to expand the soldiers and horses, the princes of all walks of life are all going around to force strong men, down to sixteen, up to sixty, as long as they can carry the spear, almost everyone will accept it, this Xiao Dadu is fresh, and there are people who push people out, isn't the more soldiers, the better?

"Everyone, listen up, the notice said that soldiers are expensive but not too expensive, so there are three don'ts!" The old pavilion chief cleared his throat and began to chant one by one!

"First, greedy for life and afraid of the dead, don't!"

"Roar! ......" As soon as these words came out, the people below were bursting into laughter, since ancient times, Qin soldiers are good at fighting, resisting war, and fighting to the death, which is known to the world, when did our Guanzhong men ever be afraid of death!

"Second, if you have a serious illness, don't!"

There is some truth in this article, the sick seedlings naturally can't go to the battlefield, whether they die or not is secondary, in case they infect others, it will be troublesome, the army will fight, one person gets sick, and the whole army suffers!

"The third one, the only child in the family, don't!"

"The Governor of the Metropolis is benevolent!" If the mountain people agree with the second point, then the third point is support, what is the most important thing in the hearts of the Chinese?

The answer is to pass on the ancestry, so that their bloodline can continue, for this article, the people can do whatever it takes, even as deserters, but also to save their lives, not afraid of death, but unable to die, cut off their own bloodline, sorry for the ancestors!

The young son does not go into battle, this is an ancient admonition in Guanzhong!

Back then, the Qin people and the Six Kingdoms of Kwantung fought to the death, even when the war was difficult and the supply of soldiers was scarce, they would also leave a son to the people's families to continue the bloodline!

"Okay, after the notice is read, all the young men who want to fight for a military future, go back and prepare, tomorrow and the old man will go to the county seat to gather, most of the governors are benevolent, and the food and travel expenses to Chang'an are all paid by the government, in addition, anyone who goes to be a soldier, each family can receive five fat sheep, five thousand money, as a settlement fee!"

After reading the rest of the notice in one breath, the old pavilion chief patted his old waist and legs depressedly, such a good recruiting condition, they have never encountered it in their lives, if they can be twenty years younger, they have to fight for this future, but unfortunately, old man, I can only look at the future generations!

"The Grand Governor is victorious!"

"The Grand Governor is victorious!"

Not only can you eat enough, but you can also receive money and sheep at home, such preferential recruitment conditions have pushed the enthusiasm of the people to the peak, that is, those who were still a little hesitant were also ruthless, this money and food, brother is determined!

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

With such generous recruitment conditions, coupled with the fact that the commander is also the famous 'Ghost Face Xiao Lang', in addition to the ordinary mountain people, another kind of people's enthusiasm for joining the army has also been ignited, that is, one of the specialties of the land of Guanzhong~~ Swordsman!

Swordsmen, that is, those who have a martial arts, are unwilling to be honest farmers, but have no chance to get ahead, in desperation, they have to put on felt clothes, with blades to run around, not only chivalrous and righteous, but also robbed houses, wandering between black and white, relying on licking blood on the edge of the knife to beg for a living!

In this recruitment, Xiao Yi specially noted in the notice, no matter the background, no matter the family, no matter the past, as long as the person is strong and has the heart to serve the country, he can come, and the governor of this city will treat everyone equally!

This is equivalent to opening a convenient door for these swordsmen, you know, in the past, the Han government recruited soldiers, all of them selected the children of good families, and it would be better if they were the children of the family, and for those swordsmen who were wandering around, they didn't look at it, and sometimes they had to send troops to encircle and suppress them, and they were completely regarded as thieves!

In this regard, Xiao Yat did the opposite, in his opinion, the 'swordsman' is the best source of soldiers, these people are not only strong in martial arts, not afraid of death, but also have a chivalrous style, people who can be righteous to their friends, will naturally be loyal to their bosses, as for their black and white background, it is not a matter!

He Xiao Dadu Governor is a mixed bag, what kind of background is not, as long as he is a useful person, he dares to ask for it, and he can even use it to describe it as 'recruiting and surrendering rebellion', the most typical example is the three thousand 'digging army', all of them were born as bandits, what is the result, it is not a meritorious service, and everyone treats it as the God of Wealth!

Xiao Yi took a fancy to the swordsman, and in turn, the swordsmen didn't take a fancy to Xiao Yi, his origin, his rise, that is a mythical story!

Xiao Yi, before the age of seventeen was still an unknown mountain boy, no one knows his origins, let alone his past, but since Yanmen joined the army, this is the young man with his unparalleled martial arts and military achievements rose rapidly, in just a few years, he was the official worship of the 'Governor of the West', became a famous general in the world, he is like a beautiful meteor that pierces the sky, radiant, but also illuminates the hearts of countless aspiring teenagers!

They all have martial arts, they all have the ambition to become famous, and they are not afraid of death, you can do it, why can't I?

I don't know how many teenagers regard Xiao Yi as their idol in life, and vow to learn and surpass it, and if you want to learn from an idol, the best way is to get close to learning, and joining the army is the best way, even if you can't become the second ghost face Xiao Lang, become the third, or the fourth!

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

In Chang'an City, Xiao Yi, who was busy recruiting soldiers, naturally didn't know how many fans he had, but he received a gift, a peculiar gift, a dead head!

Niu Fu, Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, is also the guard of Hangu Pass, after Xiao Yifei broke through the pass, this person disappeared in the chaos, but I didn't expect that after a few months, his head was actually sent, and the person who offered his head was no one else, it was Niu Fu's henchman - Hu Chi'er!

It turned out that after the defeat of the army, Niu Fu took Hu Chi'er to hide in the wilderness, and at the same time paid attention to the changes in the situation, if Li Dao and Guo Yan could block Xiao Yi, then he would have a chance to make a comeback, but unfortunately, it backfired, Li and Guo not only failed to hold Chang'an City, but even sent their own heads out, and the Xiliang Group completely declined!

In despair, Niu Fu was ready to flee back to Xiliang's hometown and take refuge with the local warlords Ma Teng and Han Sui, if it didn't work, then be a horse thief, anyway, when he escaped, he carried a lot of treasures with him, enough to eat.

It's a pity, Niu Fu wants to forget it, but Hu Chi'er doesn't want to, he has worked hard for many years to get from a horse thief to his current status, and now how willing to go back to his old job, just when Xiao Yi's recruitment notice appeared, he moved his mind to defect, and he also has a skill, why not go to the new master, mix a future, but if you want to defect, the meeting gift is indispensable, and the best gift is the head of the old master!

Although killing the old master is a little lacking in morality, but in these years, people are not for themselves, and the heavens and the earth will be destroyed!

made up his mind, and while Niu Fu was asleep, Hu Chi'er cut off the old master's head, packed it neatly, and sent it to Chang'an City!

"The Metropolitan Governor is powerful and invincible in the world, that Niu Fu does not know the current affairs, and vainly tries to collude with Ma Teng and Han Sui, and the villain is killed because of this, and the head is a courtesy. Offering the head, Hu Chi'er knelt on the ground with a flattering face, and in his opinion, the door to wealth was opened!

"Yes, I like the gift!" Xiao Yi nodded with satisfaction, Niu Fu is also a fierce general of Xiliang, and he has the qualifications to become a 'skeleton cup', and his collection is rich again!

"Hu Chi'er, you are Niu Fu's confidant and favorite general, and according to Xiliang customs, you once considered him the master?"

"This ......, yes!" Looking at Xiao Yi's smile, Hu Chi'er felt a little cold in his neck, everyone knows, 'Ghost Face Xiao Lang', a smile and a touch of the nose are going to slaughter people.

"The governor of Pontus traveled in all directions, and once heard a wise old man of the grassland say something like this, the crow caught the purple mandarin duck, and the cheap servant rounded up his master, how can there be such a truth in the world!"

"Most of the governors spare their lives, and the small ones are brave and loyal!"

"You failed to be loyal to your old master, so I don't expect you to be loyal to me!" Xiao Yi's eyes showed murderous intentions, if Hu Chi'er came empty-handed, he might still accept it, but this guy actually brought the head of the old master, a white-eyed wolf, he must not stay!

"Where is Dian Wei, drag this disloyal man down and let his filthy blood be shed!"

"No!"

Dian Wei has always been loyal, and what he looks down on the most is this kind of villain who betrays the master, and when he heard the order, he immediately strode forward, grabbed Hu Chi'er's neck and dragged him out......

"Tear and pull...... Yes! ”

With a rapid scream, when Dian Wei came back to give the order, he was carrying a bloody human head in his hand, and the jagged wound was actually unscrewed by him with both hands!

"The unrighteous deserve to die, but one thing he said is right, Ma Teng and Han Sui are like two evil wolves wandering at the door, it's a trouble!" Looking at the northwest, Xiao Yi fell into deep thought.

"Trouble, it must be solved!"
