Liu Kun's troops soon left the plain and entered a hilly area sandwiched between the Taihang and Taiyue mountains, where the mountains were high and the roads were rugged and difficult to navigate. The troops then marched north along the narrow valley along the banks of the turbid waters, sometimes directly on the dry winter riverbed. Along the way, the troops continued to recruit soldiers and food.

Although most of the densely populated villages of the past have been abandoned, some of the displaced people are hidden in the mountains and ravines. As Liu Kun's army advanced northward, more and more displaced people came out of the mountains and joined the army from the land. The number of them is far greater than that recruited by the Shangdang a few days ago.

Three months ago, 6 Yao fought and fled along this route, and the soldiers and horses became fewer and fewer, until they were finally defeated. Who would have thought that if this road was retraced at this moment, the team would swell up like a snowball, and the number of people in the entire team would approach eight thousand.

These vassals were strict and affected the progress of the troops. In recent days, the army had been able to advance only twenty or thirty miles a day. According to this posture, I am afraid that I will not be able to reach Jinyang in the beginning of spring, but will become the target of the Huns.

Sure enough, as the troops marched, the small tribes of the Hu people scattered all over Shangdang also heard the news. These small tribes were vassals of the Xiongnu, and each tribe was usually only ten to twenty in size. The so-called "Luo" is the basic unit of the Hu people's subordinates, which is probably a family group of two or three tents and about 20 people. In wartime, about five cavalry can be dispatched for each fall.

After the Xiongnu army assembled to the east of the river, these Zahu tribes still stayed in Shangdang counties to eat. The one who was annihilated by Liu Kun's personal guards in Changping Pavilion was one of the tribes. The warriors of the Zahu tribe gradually approached Liu Kun's troops in the scale of dozens to hundreds, and during this period, relying on the complex terrain of Bingzhou, they repeatedly approached with small groups of cavalry to carry out tentative attacks and harassment.

Correspondingly, Ding Miao, the cavalry general under Liu Kun's command, also dispersed his cavalry into multiple squads, and conducted a large-scale search and attack within a hundred miles of Liu Kun's headquarters as the center of the circle.

In just a few days, dozens or even more cavalry squads were detached and changed, attacking and defending each other, and the sound of fighting sounded from time to time. Ding Miao's cavalry suffered considerable casualties, and the losses of the Hu people were more than multiple.

This situation lasted for five days, and Liu Kun had to send an order to stay in Yangyi County, first, to let the displaced people recover a little, and secondly, to take this opportunity to reorganize the ranks of the displaced people, and select young and strong soldiers and horses to prepare for the battle with the Xiongnu.

The county seat of Yangyi was narrow, and the troops settled in Jicheng, thirty miles southeast of the county seat. Jicheng is the city fortress of the Jin people stationed in the spring and autumn period, the camp is more than six miles around, and the terrain is flat and open. Liu Kun set up his big tent of selling golden cowhide in the central open space. He is a wealthy and high-ranking official, and although he is not deliberately extravagant, he is still not comparable to ordinary officials. The incense beast stove is placed on the left and right of the big tent, the ground is covered with fine fur carpets, and the two wings of the halberd armor warriors outside the tent are lined up until the gate, which is really magnificent. The rest of the armies shall make up their own tabernacles; Then rely on the old base of Jicheng to set up a wooden fence, and occasionally set up a camp with heavy vehicles.

After the first day of camping, all the sentinels came out from afar, and cooperated with Ding Miao's elite cavalry to force the Zahu troops far away.

From the next day, each general school will select the elite and strong to serve in the army to enrich the establishment. Although the person presiding over the assignment is the respected veteran Ling Husheng, but how can such things be relieved to let people do it for him, as soon as the sky dawned, more than a dozen generals under Liu Kun who were qualified to form a unified army rushed to the gate of the camp camp and erected banners for recruiting troops.

Recruiting soldiers is a major matter, but it is also a small and troublesome matter, and it must be done according to a complete set of processes. After more than ten flags were in place, Linghu Sheng took the stage to beat the drums, and the detachment cadres gathered the young people who were willing to join the army in the open space in the center of the camp.

The displaced people are stationed on the north side of Jicheng, and there is no rule in the already noisy city, and it is even more chaotic and noisy at the moment: it is not like a military camp, but like a certain fang market in Tongdu Dayi. Linghu Sheng gave three orders, and invited a military stick to serve, and dealt with a few people who made a lot of trouble, which calmed down the order a little.

Afterwards, each general entered the selection of troops, limited to the three-way drum, each selected 200 people, and all the young and strong people who were selected went to the flag gate of the general to belong. Therefore, all the generals showed off the bright military flags and fine armor, and the entourage of soldiers naturally used tall and lofty people to show the majestic spirit of their own army in front of the displaced people.

6 Yao is a little embarrassed, all because he is an empty general, and there are only two subordinates, Xue Tong and He Yun. There is only one flag, fluttering alone in the cold wind, which is really disgraceful.

When he was helpless, he heard the sound of drums on the high platform, so he asked He Yun to wait with the military flag, and walked with Xue Tong to the homeless community first.

It must be known that not all of these thousands of people are ordinary people, and there are some people in the remnants of the Bingzhou Army, 6 Yao Xue Tong are all senior officers of the Bingzhou Army, so naturally there are some connections that break bones and tendons, and in the blink of an eye, several old acquaintances appeared among them.

Shen Jinnai, a native of Yanmen Mayi, is a colleague of 6 Yao for many years, can shoot a ten-stone strong bow left and right, and is known as a brave name in the Bingzhou army, and the Qianghu cavalry under the command of Chen Yong, the captain of the Yue cavalry, is a very effective elite cavalry. After Chen Yongbing was defeated and died, Shen Jin was lucky enough to break through and successfully escaped into the mountains with more than 20 cavalrymen, until he rushed to join the army the day before yesterday. Shen Jin and his cavalry were all tall and majestic men, and they also had horses and complete armaments, so they were targeted by many of Liu Kun's subordinate generals as soon as they came. However, Shen Jin and 6 Yao are old acquaintances, and they directly serve as the cavalry commander of 6 Yao, and the generals have no chance at all.

Shen Jin also recommended his brother Deng Gang, whom he met while hiding in the mountains. Deng Gang is a native of Jinyang, about forty years old. He is a veteran who has spent half his life in the barracks, and at the age of eighteen he was recruited into the army as a son of a good family. Maybe it's because he's seen too many vicissitudes of life and death, his words are very modest, and he seems to be stable and reliable.

was talking to Deng Gang, only to hear an uproar in the camp, it turned out that there was a man arguing with someone. The man was born very strong, nine feet tall, with a bee waist and ape arms, a messy hair, a high nose and deep eyes, and seemed to have some Hu blood. The other party who quarreled with him was a local clan, and more than a dozen mouths were on the same page, and the man was angry when he scolded; When he was proud, the man became furious, and beat more than ten people with one punch like a gourd on the ground.

6 Yao only cheered, Xue Tong yelled and pounced, and the two big men hugged each other and laughed.

It turned out that this man was a fellow villager of Xue Tong, named Gao Xiang. This person was originally the captain of the personal army of Nie Xuan, the general of Bingzhou, and his martial arts were the champion of the whole army, and he was regarded as a sharp blade in the palm of his hand by Nie Xuan. Gao Xiang himself is also quite pampered and arrogant, and his personality and temper are extremely bad.

In that great battle in which the state army was defeated, Gao Xiang rode alone and broke through the formation, which frustrated the spirit of the Hu people several times, but it was impossible to save the defeat of the army, and finally fled into the mountains alone. However, he was a little unlucky, he got lost in the deep mountains and old forests, and after more than a month of turning, he came out, and the wolf was like a wild man, and his weapons and armor were lost.

Although Gao Xiang and 6 Yao have no deep friendship, they also have a relationship. Coupled with the friendship of Xue Tong's fellow villagers, this fierce general of the Bingzhou Army also naturally devoted himself to the command of 6 Yao.

After strolling around the camp for a while, 6 Yao took Shen Jin, Gao Xiang and others back to the place where he had erected the recruitment flag, and was surprised to see that dozens of men had gathered in front of the small banner.

He Yunzheng, who was guarding the flag, was laughing with those men, and suddenly saw 6 Yao coming not far away, He Yunxi said: "Look, isn't this the general coming?" ”

I saw the crowd parting left and right with a "whoosh", and a young man in ragged clothes strode over. This young man was slender, his steps were fast and powerful, he looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, younger than He Yun, and he was born with big ears and a dignified appearance. Looking at his exposed arms and thick calluses on his palms, he is undoubtedly an experienced fighter.

6 Yao hurriedly stepped forward a few steps, and was about to say hello, when the young man looked 6 Yao up and down a few times, and suddenly asked loudly, "You are 6 Yao?" Is it the 6th Army Master of the Merge State Army? ”

It is extremely rude to call someone's name in person, but 6 Yao does not care about these false words. With the title of "6th Army Master", he knew that this young man must be the remnant of the Bingzhou Army, which made him feel a sense of intimacy. So 6 Haruka smiled and said, "I am 6 Haruka." I don't know if you're ......, little brother."

Before he finished speaking, the young man was already prostrating himself on the ground: "6 Army Lord, Chu Kun, who is from Xiannan County, and the brothers are here to join you!" ”

"yes, yes! We're here to come to you! Many of the soldiers behind the young man bowed down with him, shouting and shouting.

"Don't be polite, get up! Get up and speak! 6Haruka hurriedly lifted them up one by one.

These soldiers didn't recognize any of them, but they knew the name of 6 Yao, and they all said that they must follow 6 Yao. It is said that when they served in the army in the past, they had heard of a 6th army master who was kind to his subordinates, and rarely beat and scolded the soldiers; He didn't pay attention to food, clothing, and housing, and shared whatever rewards he got with his subordinates.

6 Haruka didn't expect that he would have such a reputation among the soldiers of the Bingzhou Army, which was really unexpected. These behaviors are purely natural for 6 Yao, and they don't mean to deliberately sell their reputation, but in the eyes of the soldiers, they are really rare good bosses.

This situation really makes 6 Haruka don't know what to say. In the eyes of the high-ranking officials and generals of the imperial court, Bingzhou is a powerful feudal domain in the world, a powerful general with elite soldiers, and a strategic place to compete for the authority and glory and wealth of the world; And the soldiers who forgot to fight to the death in Bingzhou couldn't even ask for a commander who did not withhold military rations, and it was an extravagant hope that they would not be abused, beaten and scolded.

He comforted the soldiers in a loud voice, and prepared to lead them to the back to rest.

This recruitment trip has such a gain, 6 Yao is very satisfied. Shen Jin and Gao Xiang were both fierce soldiers in the former Bingzhou army, and they were brave enough to fight against hundreds of people; And Deng Gang's old Cheng Lianda and Chu Kun's youthful spirit all made him admire. Not to mention that those veterans who have experienced a series of battles are by no means comparable to ordinary strong men. Such an old soldier of 200 people, as long as he is properly commanded, is enough to be worth an ordinary army of 1,000 people; And if the supply of soldiers is sufficient, with the old pawn as the core, ten times the number of soldiers can be formed and trained with a light yì!

When he was about to register the names of the soldiers and compile the inventory, someone not far away sneered: "The nobody suddenly got a high position, and he really behaved in a coma, and he dared to call friends and make a noise in the place where the generals were selected!" ”
