Chapter 342 Sign up for the Volunteer Army

Speaking of the 20,000 Qingxu soldiers stationed in Lu County, since they went to Changzi County and Wohu City for a few times, everyone was jealous of the enviable treatment of the soldiers in Bingzhou, and were even more anxious for everyone to stay in the rich and ineffective ground. So they all started to abandon and begged the commander to lead the army to make some extra money. When they returned to Qingzhou and Xuzhou, they would also give an explanation to their family. (_)

These young commanders also had this idea, but were shocked by the power of several commanders and were a little embarrassed, but they wanted to say it but dared not say it. While everyone was hesitating, it was suddenly reported that the Qingzhou army commander Taishi Ci took the eldest son of General Zhenbei as his apprentice, and Xuzhou army military advisor Mi Zhu turned out to be Zhao Xing's eldest brother-in-law, so everyone's idea of ​​joining Bingzhou to make money and make meritorious contributions even stronger.

The news is not over here, and even more amazing things have been revealed one after another. Wu Anguo, who was mysteriously missing a few days ago, was actually a guest in Wohu City. Someone saw him go to the General Mansion of Zhenbei with his own eyes. The counselor Wang Xiu went to Taihang Academy to listen, but he was reluctant to come back after he left. Now he was hired as a guest teacher by Taihang Academy. Generals Sun Guan and Cao Bao visited the Wohu Martial Arts Hall in private, and each obtained a set of superior weapons that were handy, as well as a dagger that was cut into iron like mud...

The soldiers were in a state of great enthusiasm. The civil and military generals at the top of their relationship had already had secretly acquainted with Bingzhou, and were all busy making benefits for themselves! Since these generals took the lead, many soldiers from poor families in the Qingxu army bravely went to the recruiting office that was recently set up in Lu County, expressing their willingness to join Bingzhou temporarily and work hard to defend the cities in the north of Bingzhou. The "Volunteer Army Recruitment Office" specially set up for the Qingxu army was naturally unswerving. They opened their doors every day to accept the registration of Qingxu soldiers, and recruited nearly a thousand people within two or three days.

After this situation reached Taishici's ears, he seemed not surprised at all. He actually said to the guards who were passing the message: "Tell the generals of each battalion to restrain the soldiers. Since everyone has nothing to do in Lu County and joining the Bingzhou Volunteer Army can not only be trained but also earn wealth. We should not be evil people and cut off the wealth of our brothers. Those who are willing to participate in the Bingzhou Defense War will not block or interfere, but will all rely on voluntary action."

With the secret support of Taishi Ci, Mi Zhu and others, the number of Qingxu soldiers who went to the recruitment office increased dramatically, and sometimes even saw the whole garrison and the whole qu collective registration. This craze for joining Bingzhou did not end until ten days later. Qingxu soldiers, who originally had 20,000 people, chose to temporarily be employed in Bingzhou, join the "Northern Volunteer Army" of Zhenbei Legion, and went to Wuyuan and Yunzhong to assist the Zhenbei Legion in garrison.

The remaining seven or eight thousand people naturally did not want to be cannon fodder for people, or were afraid of the cold weather in the north, or were relatively lazy by nature. In short, these people chose to stay in Lu County and wait for the end of the war, and then return to Qingzhou and Xuzhou safely. For these people, even if they forcibly sent them to the front-line battlefield, it would only play a negative role in disrupting the morale of the army, so it is not necessarily a pity to let them stay in Lu County honestly.

So, did Wu Anguo, who was secretly kidnapped, really appear in Wohu City? The answer is yes. After Hua Weiguo tied back to Wuanguo at night, he ordered people to send him back to Wohu City and handed him over to his superior Li Jinsi to take care of him. Li Jinsi, who was in charge of guarding the house, was so idle that he had nothing to do. When he heard that he had tied up a military general who wanted to fight with Bingzhou, he immediately became excited and learned from his cousin Zhao Xing and played the trick of abducting Wu Anguo.

Wu Anguo was a man of a donkey temper. He was kidnapped from the camp in the dark, which made him feel very embarrassed. It was not until he was tied back to Wohu City that he realized that he had been plotted by Bingzhou. He thought he would be killed by Zhao Xing and hung it on the Huguan to scare Qing Xujun. Later, he heard that the entire Qing Xujun had been kidnapped into Huguan, and he had no idea for a moment.

In order to make Wu Anguo believe it, Li Jinsi made three rules with Wu Anguo and took Wu Anguo to Lu County secretly. He happened to see a team of Qing Xu soldiers going to the recruiting office to register. Wu Anguo had nothing to say and had to return to Wohu City depressedly.

In order to further stimulate Wu Anguo, Li Jinsi took him to secretly watch Professor Taishici Zhao Zhenbang's martial arts. Mi Zhu discussed with the Zhao Mansion's butler Liu Jili and Qin Yilu. Wang Xiu stood on the podium to teach students at Taihang Academy. Cao Bao and Sun Guan were in the Crouching Tiger Martial Arts Hall and the Bingzhou generals in the Bingzhou lecture hall, which made Wu Anguo unbelievable facts.

Finally, Li Jinsi and Wu'anguo had a showdown, saying that the wind had been released. Wu'anguo was the inner responder of the Bingzhou army hidden in the Qingxu army. Now that the mission has been completed, he has successfully returned to Wohu City.

Although Wu Anguo has a stubborn temper, it does not mean that he is stupid. He also understands that what Li Jinsi said is not to scare people, but because of the current situation, the blame for secretly taking over Bingzhou has been on him and cannot be removed at all. So in desperation, he had to agree to Li Jinsi and then apply for Bingzhou. Li Jinsi also patted his chest and promised that he would arrange for people to secretly take Wu Anguo's family to Bingzhou to avoid being framed.

As for Cao Bao and Sun Guan, Zhao Xing specifically told Li Jinsi not to launch a mass attack on him, and only arranged for these two people to go to the Chouhu Martial Arts Hall for training for a period of time to improve their skills, and to return to Xuzhou to continue listening to Tao Qian's tent. Zhao Xing did this for a long time. He was afraid that Tao Qian, who had not many generals under his command, would be quickly annexed by Cao Cao, so he wanted to secretly help Tao Qian, which could be considered as a stumbling block to Cao Heizi in the future.

Wang Xiu was originally a scholar and didn't like fighting and killing. He followed Kong Rong before and dealt with some official documents and civil affairs. This time he followed the team north to Bingzhou. He was persuaded by Kong Rong to agree. Since he arrived in Lu County safely, Wang Xiu felt relieved and could not help but have a encouragement from Mi Zhu. He went to Taihang Academy to study early. As a result, after he went there, he met a wise man like the hospital and Guan Ning. After talking, he felt that he had met too late and felt that he had met too late. He volunteered to stay in the academy and happily became a visiting professor.

In fact, since Li Jinsi successfully recruited the most difficult Wu'anguo, all the middle and senior generals of the Qing Xu army who participated in the Zhao campaign have been "red". Whether it is Taishi Ci and Mi Zhu who have committed suicide in Bingzhou, Cao Bao and Sun Guan who have a good impression of Bingzhou, and Wang Xiu, who are devoted to teaching, they have new understandings and views on Bingzhou deep in their hearts. They have sympathized with Bingzhou's experiences from personal emotions, and will not be easily attracted by other forces in the future.

The only exception is the adviser Chen Deng, who is a family of Xuzhou. His father Chen Gui is also a visionary and intelligent person. He once told Chen Deng specifically that he should not be accused of Bingzhou, but he also warned Chen Deng not to surrender to Bingzhou. The Chen family should just take a cold-eyed attitude towards the war between the imperial court and Bingzhou. Chen Deng, who was warned by his father, watched Qing Xubing sign up for the Bingzhou defense battle, but he did not stop him. However, he politely declined the olive branch extended to him by the General Mansion of Zhenbei. He just went to Zuixian Tower every day to order a few side dishes and drank a few cups of wine happily. As for other matters, he did not ask about anything else.

Bingzhou has always been the priority to recruit generals. He never used despicable means to threaten wise scholars, so Zhao Xing followed Chen Deng to wander around Shangdang. I believe that with his wisdom, he would never do anything to put himself in a dangerous situation.
