Chapter 98 Departure
West Garden, military camp.
Since Ye Zhao returned to Luoyang, he felt that his former residence had become cold. In order to make Dong Zhuo feel at ease, he simply moved into Xiyuan Camp with all his guards, eating and sleeping with the soldiers every day, and practicing soldiers, and living a comfortable life.
Now he has no more things to do in Luoyang. The benefits of Luoyang are almost the same. What he misses now is a great righteousness, a great righteousness that can be famous for his own knowledge in the future. So he is waiting for this great righteousness to appear, and he believes that this great righteousness will not be too far away.
In addition, Ye Zhao also wanted to collect some talents before leaving.
This talent is not just a strategist, military general. From wise men, historical generals, to veterans with skills, they are all recruited by Ye Zhao. As the capital of the Han Dynasty, Luoyang is not only full of families, but also talents from all walks of life are also considered top-notch people in Luoyang. With Ye Zhao's current reputation, it is really effortless to recruit these people. After all, Luoyang is in turmoil and influential. For these people living at the bottom, Ye Zhao is willing to take in and protect them.
"Lord, can this thing you made really make someone walk on the ground immediately?" Dian Wei looked at the war horse that had not changed much, but a stirrup was added on both sides, and the cloth pad on the horse's back was changed to something like a Hu bed. He didn't know what this thing had to do with horse war.
"You'll know if you try it?" Ye Zhao sat with a craftsman and smiled: "I'm very relieved about Guo Jiangshi's craftsmanship."
Dian Wei glanced at Guo Jiangshi, who was half sitting beside Ye Zhao with a restrained face, muttered, "How to try?"
"Simple, Guan Hai, you can fight with him!" Ye Zhao signaled to Guan Hai.
"I will obey the order!" Guan Hai stood up excitedly when he heard this, picked up his sword, turned over and rode a war horse without new objects, and proudly hooked his finger at Dian Wei and said, "Come on, Lao Dian, what's the ability to be powerful in the siege? We men should fight for power on the horse's back. Come up, I promise not to beat you to death!"
Dian Wei can also ride a horse, but it can only be used for transportation. Don’t see him being alive on the ground. But if he fights a horse, Guan Hai, one of Ye Zhao’s powerful generals, could be able to impose Dian Wei within 80 rounds.
"Lord, can you fight?" Dian Wei looked at Ye Zhao with a sad face. Guan Hai's arrogance made him secretly hate him, but if it was a horse battle, Dian Wei was really not Guan Hai's opponent. Just one step forward, how can he learn horse battle?
"It's okay to try it, and you may not lose!" Ye Zhao gave Dian Wei a look of 'I'm optimistic about you' and encouraged him.
Dian Wei could only turn over the horse in a depressed mood, and habitually clamped his feet into the horse's belly, but he happened to step on two stirrups. He was stunned and took two steps to ride the horse. He unexpectedly found that he could sit firmly without having to clamp the horse's belly. He couldn't help but be amazed. This inconspicuous gadget actually has such a magical effect? A pair of stirrups can almost match the skills that others have worked hard for years, and it is really magical.
"Old Dian, I'm sure!" Guan Hai carried the big knife and clamped his legs, and rushed towards Dian Wei. The big knife drew an arc in the air. It was accurate that when he rushed to Dian Wei, this arc could just cut Dian Wei, and he could exert the greatest strength. On the ground, he could not compare with Dian Wei. On the right moment, he would enjoy the pleasure of shooting Dian Wei down with his strength.
When Dian Wei came to his senses, Guan Hai had already rushed over and quickly folded the two halberds and went up one.
"Bang~"
With a muffled sound, Dian Wei's butt was stuck in the saddle and did not move at all. Guan Hai was so shocked that he almost slid down from the horse's back. If he hadn't tried his best, the recoil force alone could have shaken him away. He couldn't help but look at Dian Wei in surprise and said in surprise: "My lord once said, "Being shameless will only be brave. It seems that Lao Dian, you have been practicing riding skills a lot during this period!"
A genius practices that thing!
Dian Wei felt it in surprise. He knew whether he had practiced or not, but at this moment, he was sitting on the horse's back, like a rider who had been learning riding since childhood. He rode his horse forward a few steps, quite steadily. He couldn't help but feel a little more confident. He raised his head and looked at Guan Hai with a sneer and said, "Come again, I'll tell you to see my ability right away!"
After saying that, without waiting for Guan Hai to speak, he urged the horse to charge forward in an abnormal manner. When he got closer, he stood up from the horse's back in a horrified gaze. His burly body was like a hill with an unspeakable sense of oppression. A pair of iron halberds slashed at Guan Hai, and Guan Hai quickly raised his knife to resist.
"Clang~"
With just a muffled sound, Guan Hai's arms numb. Before he could take action, his body had been pushed down from the horse's back by huge force. He stared blankly at Dian Wei who was sitting back on the horse's back and said in surprise: "How is this possible?"
It should be noted that in the era when there were no stirrups, the knight had to sit firmly on the horse's back in battle, and at least half of the strength had to clamp the horse's belly with his legs. Dian Wei stood up directly from the horse's back like that. Even if he had that strength, he had to pinch the horse to death.
"How did you do it?" Guan Hai stepped forward and said, "You come down and let me try!"
"Don't think about it!" Dian Wei said proudly.
Ye Zhao was about to speak, but he saw Fang Yue strode over and bowed and said, "Lord, there is a down-and-out general coming to join him outside the camp!"
"Military General?" Ye Zhao nodded and said, "Let him come in, Dian Wei, put away the horse, don't let others see it. Guo Jiangshi, this matter is related to our army's secrets, so don't leak it."
"Don't worry, lord." Guo Jiangshi hurriedly said.
"It turns out that there is something wrong with the horse, right?" Guan Hai saw Dian Wei coming down, and hurried forward to look carefully. He couldn't think of it for a moment, so he could only ask Dian Wei.
"I know in the future." Dian Wei smiled proudly. With this thing, it was the same as on the ground on the horse's back. Although it was still a bit inconvenient, it could at least exert 70% of his martial arts on the ground and the impact of the war horse. In terms of power, it was stronger than before. However, this tactic needs to be carefully considered. After all, this cavalry battle is different from the infantry battle.
After a while, Fang Yue came in with a man with a vicissitudes of life. Although he looked strong, he didn't look like Dian Wei. Guan Hai looked very powerful, but his eyes, although they showed a sense of fatigue, had a sense of perseverance. When he saw Ye Zhao, he just bowed slightly.
These days, there were military generals or some down-and-out poor men who came to surrender, but most of them were ordinary military generals or civil servants. Not to mention great use, there were not many people who could use it in the army. At most, they were just military marquis and team leader skills, but the people in front of them gave Ye Zhao an unusual feeling.
"Can a hero be a common name?" Ye Zhao stood up and smiled.
"I'm Xu Rong." The visitor bowed.
"Xu Zhuangshi, he has accent, like a native of Youzhou." Ye Zhao smiled. He has been in Youzhou for three years. Although the dialects of different places are different, the taste is unmistakable.
"Ye Hou has good eyesight." Xu Rong nodded and said, "I am from Xiangping, Liaodong."
"I have also been an official in Youzhou for several years. Yan has many heroic people since ancient times. I think of Xu Zhuangshi, and I am also very human. But I don't know why I have traveled thousands of miles to come to Luoyang?" Ye Zhao looked at Xu Rong and asked with a smile.
"I just want to show what I have learned in my heart. I have heard of the name of Ye Hou for a long time. I came here today and came here to join me." Xu Rong bowed and said.
"Shi Zhuangshi Xu is very confident." Ye Zhao smiled and said, "I just don't know what kind of skills Xu Zhuangshi has?"
"I have been familiar with the military strategy since I was a child. I have led the villagers to fight against bandits and bandits, but I have never lost it." Xu Rong bowed and said.
"Governors? Bandits?" Guan Hai and Dian Wei came up, and couldn't help but sneer when they heard this: "I wonder how many villagers there are, and how many bandits there are?"
Xu Rong said: "In the second year of Zhongping, a bully Zhao Xiong in Xiangping rebelled in the name of the Yellow Turban Thief. He gathered 3,000 people to plunder the village. He gathered 371 villagers below. He first abandoned the village and lured them to disperse them, and then defeated them one by one. It took nine days to annihilate 700 enemies and kill Zhao Xiong, and the rest of them scattered."
"I fight ten with one, and I am leading a group of villagers?" Guan Hai raised his eyebrows and looked at Xu Rong with disbelief.
"That's it." Xu Rong's voice was a little hoarse, but there was a sense of instinctive convincing firmness.
"It's not easy to do this." Ye Zhao looked at Xu Rong and smiled and said, "Looking at the world, being able to do this is enough to call him a famous general. If you really have such skills, this general is lucky! I wonder what Xu Zhuangshi's martial arts skills are?"
"Although he has martial arts, Xu rarely fights with others." Xu Rong shook his head and said.
"It's just right, let's try it with me." Guan Hai was excited and wanted to get the face he had lost on Dian Wei's side.
"No need to compare." Ye Zhao waved his hand: "Xu Zhuangshi said that he does not value martial arts."
"If Xu Zhuangshi is willing, he can be with me first. If you are really capable, your official position, wealth, and a woman, you will not be stingy. In our army, you can use your talents." Ye Zhao smiled and said, "As for now, how about you first entrust your position as a marquis of the army, how about you? "
"Xu Rong pays homage to the lord!" Xu Rong didn't say nonsense, and bowed his head and bowed.
Ye Zhao did not stop him. He only helped him up and said, "Do you understand how to train troops?"
"I understand a little." Xu Rong nodded.
"Then train that song of troops first and let me see your ability to train troops." Ye Zhao said.
"Here!" Xu Rong nodded without saying anything.
"Fang Yue, share his troops." Ye Zhao turned his head and looked at Fang Yue and said.
"Here!" Fang Yue agreed and took Xu Rong straight away to select troops.
Looking at the two of them leaving, Ye Zhao groped his chin. Xu Rong's name, he naturally knew that his origin was similar. If Xu Rong was as powerful as history said, he had picked up the treasure this time.
