Luo Shang was appointed as a military candidate and led a battalion of generals, and Yang Yi even gave the right to recruit, that is, to select two clever ones from the Praetorian Guards at will, and then the rest were selected from the army at will.

Decentralization of power, the position of the general is left to Luo Shang's autonomy, not to mention others, and even Yang Yi allowed Luo Shang to expand the army and horses, and gave soldiers armor.

Now Yang Yi has opened copper mines, iron mines, and coal mines, and the armor is already self-sufficient, and Yang Yi is also very clear about the Shudi mine, and it is no problem to supply it for his own use.

At this time, Luo Shang first led a group of soldiers and horses first, and the group was only a dozen people, and they acted in cavalry, which was naturally expensive in speed, although Fa Sui had followed Counselor Jiang Wei for many years, but he also focused on civilian affairs, and he was still insufficient for military affairs.

Now in Hanzhong, it can only be defense, so Yang Yi intends to let Luo Shang develop in Hanzhong, if it is feasible, Luo Shang can give full play to Wei Yan's ability back then, which can be regarded as sharing Yang Yi's worries.

Recruit generals first, Luo Shang also has his own plan, this time he came quickly, it was to contact the family he liked, and this time the target was Zhang Teng.

Hanzhong County has a dangerous terrain and controls the key points, scattered in a township around Hanzhong, but there is a Zhangjiazhuang.

Zhangjiazhuang is located in the northeast of the city 30 miles away, Zhangjia digging ditches, annexing land, the surrounding thousands of acres are all the private property of the Zhang family, there are no less than 300 strong men in the clan, together with the attached tenants of no less than 1,000 people.

It is said that this is after the waiting, of course, after the waiting, it is divided into several branches, these hundreds of years, it has already stretched, the surname Zhang in the world, more said to be after the waiting.

However, this family is not ordinary, according to the news that Luo Shang inquired, this generation of Zhang's Zhuangzi is talented.

Zhang Teng's father Zhang Ping, who was originally a general in the Hanzhong camp, was unfortunately killed on the battlefield early, because Zhang Teng was still young at the time, but Zhang was also given a field and a pension, but he did not join the army.

In the future, time has changed, and this Zhang Teng wants to enter the army to serve the country, so naturally there will be no place.

However, this person's martial arts are not ordinary, that is, last year, the Wei people invaded, there were stragglers in the countryside to collect grain, at that time the rural righteous people united to resist desperately, and the dead were not few, but at that time the Wei people wanted more, it can almost be said that these villagers did not have to die, not only to grain and grass but also women and iron tools, which made the villagers have to resist.

Zhang Teng also stood out, led more than 20 people to ride, took the lead, galloped and struck, killed dozens of people in a row, was unstoppable, and boosted morale at a critical time, which was praised by the villagers and heard by Yang Yi.

Yang Yi also wanted to recruit this person, but he didn't have time to go, this time Luo Shang was willing to go to Hanzhong to suppress the thief, and Yang Yi also asked this person to recruit this talent.

Luo Shang is also willing to have such a talent under his command, so he came here to look for it first, at this time, only to see the countryside for several miles, cross a board bridge, and see a village courtyard in the distance, and the back is overlapping with hills.

At this time, Luo Shang took a few horses and rushed to the front of the village to watch, at this time, there was Zhuang Ding vigilantly watching, and hurriedly entered, and after a while, he saw an old man coming out of the village.

Luo Shang looked at this old man, about fifty years old, but he was still in good spirits, and he looked like a housekeeper, so he stepped forward and saluted him and asked, "This official, I don't know what happened to my Zhangjiazhuang?" ”

Luo Shang turned over and dismounted, and said: "I am a person from Jinguan City, I heard that your young master is good at riding and shooting, and has bravery, so I came to meet you." ”

The old man said with a smile: "Since you are a guest from Jinguan City, welcome, come in with me, the young master of my family is working hard in the back, and he will come out to meet the guests in a moment." ”

His eyes swept over the cavalry behind Luo Shang, his eyes were sharp, and he immediately saw that these soldiers had leather armor in their clothes, and their weapons were also excellent, and their clothing was uniform, so it could be seen that this person was not small!

When he got inside, the old man gave orders for tea, and went inside.

In just a moment, a young man came out, this person seemed to have just finished exercising, only wearing a single coat, revealing his strong muscles and bones, he was one meter eight tall, in ancient times, he was a warrior who was the top of the sky, with a straight nose and a square mouth, a slight red beard on the cheeks, and an open chest.

When he arrived in the hall, he arched his hand and said: "This guest, I just boiled my muscles, but I neglected you, please don't blame you...... Dare to ask what is the guest's surname? ”

Luo Shang said with a smile: "My surname is Luo, my name is Shang, and my name is true, so I can be regarded as a native of Jinguancheng." ”

Luo Shang grew up with his uncle, grew up in Jinguancheng, and then traveled with his uncle to study in various counties in Shudi.

"Roshan? I'm Zhang Teng! The young man frowned, as if he had heard of it, but he couldn't remember it for a while, but he said again: "The visitor is a guest, and it's almost noon now, I wonder if you can eat some country food with me?" ”

Luo Shang laughed and said: "Let Brother Zhang see and laugh, I have led people all the way, I have traveled for dozens of miles, and I am hungry in my stomach, so I can eat whatever I have!" ”

Zhang Teng was overjoyed and said: "Brother Luo is refreshing, come here, serve the wine, yesterday in the Zhuangzi, there happened to be an old scalper who died, we have a mouthful, there is beef to eat, and we will serve it together." ”

Not long after, in the hall, Zhuang Ding put down a plate of beef, some vegetables, and a pot of chicken, and served wine.

Luo Shang was not humble, let alone shirked, and ate more with chopsticks, but at this time, he saw Zhang Teng's chopsticks raining, and he was also gulping down, and thought to himself: "This poor man is rich and martial, and if he wants to become a warrior, it is necessary to eat a fight, plus the flesh, although this Zhang Teng is young and lonely, but looking at this situation, it is good." ”

In this era, if the pillar of the family unfortunately dies, it is a very terrible thing for a family, even if it is a big family, if there are only children in the family, then it is equivalent to a child holding gold in the market, and Zhang Teng looks at this situation, but he is doing well.

This is the ability, like ordinary people, in this case, it is difficult to eat enough, even thousands of years later, the same.

Just when he was adding food again, the housekeeper came over and said something secretly, Zhang Teng was shocked all of a sudden, and dropped his chopsticks: "You are the Luo Shang who killed a team of Wei thieves a few days ago?" Oh? I heard that you are the general of Han? ”

Luo Shang laughed and said, "It's me!" ”

I am also proud in my heart, Luo Shang is here, and he didn't come empty-handed, although he is a little famous, Luo Xian also gave him a name, but not many people know about it in this Hanzhong County, so he came to do things first, ran for hundreds of miles, and directly attacked a cottage left by the Wei people when they retreated, of course, this was done together with Guan Yi, the guard of the Sword Gate.

Guan Yi sent more than 100 horsemen to help, after all, these Wei people are also hidden dangers for Jianmen.

The military strength of Hanzhong County is not enough to clear these thieves, so Luo Shang came here to kill these people first.

After all, Luo Shang's reputation can't run here now, unless he is specially venting the wind and building momentum for himself, but this also has to have merit to do such a big thing, sure enough, even Zhang Teng heard his name.

For this reason, he owes a lot of favors, and Guan Yi also has a lot to do with it, after all, if Luo Shang can't clean up, Guan Yi will also have to bear the consequences of failure.

However, if you win the bet, it is naturally good; Guan Yi was also rewarded, and Luo Shang has now been promoted to a first-class knighthood, and his position is also a fake thief captain.

Zhang Teng looked at Luo Shang in disbelief, this person is only one or two years older than himself, and now he is already a general, his father back then, after many years of bloody battles, he did not have such a position.

Back then, his father was also brave, and he had struggled for ten years, but he was just a general, two levels lower than this person!

"General Luo is not far away, why did he come to me?" Although Zhang Teng is a warrior, he is not general, knowing that this person must have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and he must have a purpose here, so he immediately asked.

"Hey, since Brother Zhang is refreshing, I won't hide it, but I heard that Brother Zhang Yongguan Township, I have the trust of His Majesty, pacify the thieves in Hanzhong, and now there is a shortage of warriors, I heard that Brother Zhang's name is great, so I specially came to visit, and I want to invite Brother Zhang to join the army!" Luo Shang's previous preparations were very meticulous, and he had already sent people to spread the news around Hanzhong County, touting himself.

If you ask the right question, you will be favored by your majesty; Since then, he has traveled hundreds of miles and wiped out hundreds of thieves in one fell swoop, this is a legendary story, and the storyteller who came specially came was talking about foaming at the mouth, and the people who listened to it were full of relish, and they were amazed.

Naturally, it is the story of "losing his father since childhood, being appreciated by the master, and once he made meritorious service, he became a general", and such legendary stories naturally make people amazing and praise a lot.

Hearing this, Zhang Teng's eyes lit up, and he said: "General Luo came a hundred miles to recruit a certain family, and he was grateful, he should have responded immediately, but he was just ......."

There seems to be a problem.

Luo Shang arched his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang's thoughts, I understand a few points, let me say a few points first." ”

Seeing Zhang Teng's acquiescence, Luo Shang said the words of the day again: "After the Fajun guards the famous family, he is heroic and martial, and he is a famous minister, if you take refuge in him, it will not be in vain for your martial arts." ”

After all, Zhang Teng is from Hanzhong County, and Fa Sui's reputation here is not bad, so it is naturally better to say bad things than good things.

Seeing Zhang Teng's head, Luo Shang smiled secretly in his heart, and then said: "However, although the Fajun guard is heroic, his subordinates are full, brother, you are here, it is not easy to get out of the way." ”

Zhang Teng was silent, indeed, there is no place for him there at all now, and Fa Sui has also sent people to recruit, but the position is very low, if he is only a military chief, he is naturally unwilling.

Of course, Fa Sui will definitely recruit, and when he becomes more famous, he will naturally have a better position.

Luo Shang said again: "Brother Zhang's brave champion, I think it is more than enough to be a general, but brother, your qualifications are too shallow, and there are rules in this army, if you come to me, first be an acting general, and when you show your bravery, no one in the natural army is dissatisfied, and you will be promoted to a military candidate immediately, and in the future, with merit, I am a captain, and I can be a captain!" ”

Seeing that he was still silent, Luo Shang said again: "I know that my brother is still worried, it is this Zhangjiazhuang." ”

At this time, Zhang Teng spoke: "What the adults said is that what I am concerned about is this Zhangjiazhuang, my family has taken root in Hanzhong County for hundreds of years, if I am a general, what if I am an enemy in Japan?" ”

"The water flows to the low place, and the people go to the high place, this Zhangjiazhuang is not in ancient times, there are scriptures, and there is also the right, and now His Majesty has opened a new county, there are hundreds of thousands of acres of land, and it is more than enough to settle the Zhang family, besides, we are also thieves in Hanzhong, and there are no thieves to sweep, so there is no need to worry about this safety."

"Moreover, if you are out of office now, if you become famous in the future, it will be easy for Your Majesty to summon you at that time, but if you are in other places, it will be difficult, I don't know what Brother Zhang wants?"

Zhang Teng heard this, but he hesitated, Luo Shang is now in charge of the army independently, and he is a captain, and he may immediately become a general, which is absolutely difficult to obtain in a short period of time in the county law-abiding place.

In addition, I have heard about people's deeds, which is very good, not a mediocre person, and I specially came to invite, which shows the sincerity.

I wanted to agree, but I don't know why, I always felt unwillingness in my heart, which made him hesitate.

Talents are all arrogant, especially the more respectful, the more they look down on them, and then they regret it.

It's just that Zhang Teng is not that kind of person, he just waited for a while, looking at Luo Shang's earnest gaze, Zhang Teng finally made up his mind and said: "The general came from afar, and he is willing to serve the general." ”

said, and made a big salute: "The last general, Zhang Teng, greets the general." ”

Luo Shang laughed and said, "Zhang Teng, I will appoint you as the acting general, please hurry up!" ”

"General Xie!"

It will be revised in a moment

Luo Shang arched his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang's thoughts, I understand a few points, let me say a few points first." Seeing Zhang Teng's acquiescence, Luo Shang said the words of the day again: "After the famous family of Fa County, he is heroic and martial, and he is a famous minister, if you take refuge in him, your martial arts will not be in vain." ”

After all, Zhang Teng is from Hanzhong County, and Fa Sui's reputation here is not bad, so it is naturally better to say bad things than good things.

Seeing Zhang Teng's head, Luo Shang smiled secretly in his heart, and then said: "However, although the Fajun guard is heroic, his subordinates are full, brother, you are here, it is not easy to get out of the way." ”

Zhang Teng was silent, indeed, there is no place for him there at all now, and Fa Sui has also sent people to recruit, but the position is very low, if he is only a military chief, he is naturally unwilling.

Of course, Fa Sui will definitely recruit, and when he becomes more famous, he will naturally have a better position.

Luo Shang said again: "Brother Zhang's brave champion, I think it is more than enough to be a general, but brother, your qualifications are too shallow, and there are rules in this army, if you come to me, first be an acting general, and when you show your bravery, no one in the natural army is dissatisfied, and you will be promoted to a military candidate immediately, and in the future, with merit, I am a captain, and I can be a captain!" ”

Seeing that he was still silent, Luo Shang said again: "I know that my brother is still worried, it is this Zhangjiazhuang." ”
