Yang Lin brought She Yi, He Man, Liu Pi, and Gong Dou to the taiwai Palace. He did not expect that the person who would receive them would be the Cui Xiang of the Shu Province, who was also the brother-in-law of the Zhuoxian County's tyrant, Wang San. Yang Lin and the others caused a huge ruckus in the court of Zhuoxian County, wounding the bailiff and constable of taiwai Palace. He didn't expect that Yang Lin would actually come looking for him today. If he didn't deal with you guys now, when would he?
”Someone, take these criminals down.”
In Cui Xiang's eyes, Yang Lin was just a commoner, he only had two coins, to fight against the officials, he was simply overestimating himself. Therefore, when he saw Yang Lin, he was immediately enraged. He did not think much of it and immediately ordered the constables to arrest them.
”Who dares!”
Almost at the same time, He Yi, He Man, Liu Pi and Gong Dou started shouting. Towards this small County, Yang Lin did not care at all.
”Insolent bastard, how dare you roar in court!”
Cui Xiang was angered to the point that he even dared to roar in the court. He suddenly slammed his fist on the wood and bellowed at Yang Lin and the others. Seeing that He Yi, He Man, Liu Pi, and Gong Dou were about to rush up to him, Yang Lin stretched out his hands to stop them.
”Before you take us down, you had best inform the Lord Taishang so that you won't lose your head in confusion.”
”You still dare to challenge the This Official?”
”Weibo, you? Not worth it. How can a little County like you be able to take responsibility for delaying a bandit's business? I advise you to go and report that the ambitious Yang Lin and your brothers have come to the Lord Taishang to ask for instructions on the great matter of calming down the yellow cloth. ”
This time, Cui Xiang was stunned. If he wanted to capture them, those bailiffs would not be his match. If he were to report it to them, he would be truly unwilling and lose face. They said that they wanted to see the taiwai for the sake of being a bandit, and if they delayed it, the Lord Taishang would definitely blame them, and they had no choice but to compromise.
”You guys wait here. I'll deal with you guys later.”
Yang Lin did not wait long before he asked the bailiff to invite Yang Lin and the others in. When Yang Lin walked into the taiwai Main Hall, the first thing he saw was Lelang County Imperial Guard Zheng Ping sitting next to him. In the main seat of the Main Hall, there was a middle-aged man dressed in official uniform, which was most likely Lord Taishang Wei You. Beside him sat a tall and sturdy military general. This man's face was pale and one of his arms was dangling; he was obviously injured.
”Greetings, milords.”
”You are Yang Lin?”
”How does Lord Taishang know?”
”Hehe, no wonder the Mr. Zheng was praising you, it is indeed a mighty Hero and hero, with such a hero serving the imperial government, the Yellowtowel rebel can easily be destroyed.”
”Master, you are too kind. We brothers wish to recruit village heroes and have our orders to rob bandits.
”The imperial government summoned all of the Hero and hero s in the world to raise troops and settle the rebellion. If you want to recruit brave villagers, there is no need to report to the This Official. However, since you've come, you should know your place well. Come come come come come, you already know Mr. Zheng, come over to greet Youzhou Army field officer Zou Jing Zou, and fought a big battle with Guang Yang yellow scarf seriously injured. ”
”Zou Jing?”
Yang Lin was familiar with this name, and had heard a lot of people mentioning it recently. He was currently the highest ranked officer of the Youzhou, and could be considered a historical figure. Is he hurt? Defeat! It must be the defeat of Guo Xun and Liu Wei! He was here to call for reinforcements.
Zou Jing was dressed in armor and it looked like he had just arrived at the taiwai Palace. He looked to be in his forties, tall and sturdy, with a thin face and bright eyes. He looked at Yang Lin, and after a moment of hesitation, he nodded lightly.
”Young Master Yang, to be honest, the Youzhou's army and the's army were defeated. Yellowtowel rebel Cheng Yuanzhi, Deng Mao, Zhang Ji, Liu Bao, and Wang Hui had attacked Guangyang and killed both Lord Ci Shi Guo and taiwai Liu Wei. Only I was severely injured and brought over a hundred riders to escape. Originally, he wanted to ask the taiwai of Zhao County for help, but there were only a thousand odd soldiers under him, and he had only just started recruiting village heroes. I heard from Mr. Zheng that your caravan had more than ten thousand elite guards who had survived the bloody battle.
”Lord Zou, the reason why we brothers recruited the righteous and brave was to pacify the citizens, report this to the country and flatter the people. Today, the Yellowtowel rebel has killed officials and officials in Guangyang City. He has harmed the people, how can we brothers sit idly by? ”Lord Zou can be at ease, I already have over 10,000 guards. We're preparing to recruit another 5000 people, and we'll be starting the army in a few days.”
”Alright, alright, alright. The Young Master Yang has the heart to share his worries for our country. As expected of me, Yan Zhaoyi, a hot-blooded man. However, Young Master Yang, that Yellowtowel rebel has a hundred thousand people and you only have ten thousand, I'm afraid you are a little too weak. Do you have confidence in defeating Yellowtowel rebel? ”
”Are you confident?”
Of course I'm sure. If I wasn't sure, would I dare to boast like that? But I can't tell you, and I'll frighten you. I've been waiting for this day for a long time. You should at least express your feelings. I can't help you for nothing.
”Master Zou, the battlefield is ever-changing. There has never been a decisive battle. There was only a sliver of hope, and he would have to fight for it a hundred times more. Furthermore, Guangyang is right next to Zhuang County, so maybe Cheng Yuanzhi, Deng Mao, Zhang Ji, Liu Bao and Wang Ying will attack Zhuang County next. ”
Zou Jing's eyes became moist, and his image became larger. He was truly a righteous person, a loyal subject, Zou Jing was so touched that he almost cried tears. He stood up excitedly, cupped his fists, and bowed towards Yang Lin.
”Young Master Yang is truly a man of righteousness. Just to be on the safe side, you should hire more men. From what Mr. Zheng said, you promised to send troops to send him to Leroy County, and I allowed you to recruit 30,000 people in the name of Youzhou Army. However, I can only give you a temporary official position, that is, the commander of the Youzhou Army, if the Young Master Yang attacks Guangyang, exterminating Cheng Yuanzhi, Deng Mao, Zhang Ji, Liu Bao, Wang Hui, the This Official will definitely head to the imperial government and request for merit from the Young Master Yang, please bestow the title of Young Master Yang to the imperial government. ”
You really aren't on your way, what do I need your help for? What officials? You are just a small Commandant of Youzhou, why would anyone pay attention to you when people talk so softly? If I wanted to become an official, I could just buy it with money. However, as the commander of the Youzhou Army, this official is not bad. In any case, all of the Youzhou Army s have been killed by the xanthopanax.
”Master Zou, you also know that the food in our caravan is privately funded, so it is very difficult to gather food. Now that we have become the Youzhou Army, if we were to eliminate the Yellowtowel rebel and capture him, can we let these captives farm the fields of the Youzhou to help us gather food. ”
”Of course.”
”That's great. We will immediately start recruiting. We guarantee that we can enter Guangyang City within this month.”
When Yang Lin entered the city in the morning, he had already brought along She Yi, He Man, Liu Pi and Gong Dou. These riders were all carrying Youzhou Army's Banner, as they majestically entered Yang Lin's camp.
When the Youzhou Army's Banner was inserted into Yang Lin's camp, the temporary camp immediately became a military camp for the Youzhou's soldiers. According to Zou Jing's orders, Yang Lin immediately called for people to send orders for the ten thousand odd guards to gather. They were ordered by the highest military officer of the Youzhou Army, Zou Jing, to discipline the newly joined Youzhou Army soldiers.
Yang Lin accompanied Zou Jing to the sports field, and met Guan Yu and the other twelve brothers who were practicing martial arts. Their tall and sturdy bodies, and their powerful martial arts immediately attracted Zou Jing's attention. He quickly jumped off his horse and walked towards his brothers.
”Lord Commander, these are my twelve brothers. Brothers, come over here and greet Lord Commander. ”
Seeing that Zou Jing was so interested in his own brothers, Yang Lin immediately went forward to introduce him, and emphasized that he was my brothers. He was afraid that Zou Jing would also attack his brothers.
”Greetings Lord Commander.”
”Good!” Good! ”Good!”
Looking at the twelve tiger generals standing in a row, Zou Jing loudly called out the word 'good', and his face revealed a pleasantly surprised smile. He stepped forward, slapped each of them hard on the shoulder, and laughed.
”Hahaha …” Commander Yang, with you acting so brazenly, xanthopanax Cheng Yuanzhi is not far from death. ”
Hearing Zou Jing's words, Yang Lin let out a long breath, and a stone in his heart dropped to the ground. It seems that he was too petty, Zou Jing did not even try to poach him, he had already been scared sick by Liu Bei, this big eared thief.
”Lord Commander, all soldiers have gathered, Lord Commander is invited.”
Zou Jing was also a very experienced general, he walked with the stride of an officer, up the stage. Although he was heavily injured and had one arm still hanging from his shoulder, it was impossible to tell from his footsteps that he was a wounded man.
”Brothers, from now on, you are the generals and soldiers of the Youzhou Army. Of course, if you don't want to join Youzhou Army, you can leave right now. If you do not withdraw, then you must follow the rules of our Youzhou Army. ”Is there anyone who wants to quit?”
Everyone just found out about the matter of the army counterattack. They were still discussing about it just now and thought that it was Yang Lin's private army. Unexpectedly, a Commandant of Youzhou suddenly came and announced that everyone had become the army of the Youzhou. From the joy on everyone's faces, they could tell that everyone approved of participating in the Youzhou Army.
However, there were also some troublesome matters. Chen Ze, Zhang Liang and more than a hundred fifty people were originally The soldiers of the prefectural city of Zhuang s, it was not impossible for them to ascend to Youzhou Army s. However, they were soldiers after all, so they had to give an explanation to the officials of Chu. Furthermore, Chen Ze was the young master of the Lord Taishang.
