"Yes, let's go quickly."
Xu Yi responded and quickened his pace.
He never expected that he would have such an opportunity, and as soon as he came here, he would be able to uncover the mystery that Zhu Shisan had never figured out.
However, upon reflection, it is not that Zhu Shisan is incompetent, but that the information he possesses is simply incomplete.
However, Xu Yi didn't dare to ask too much about this stall, for fear that the slightest mistake would expose the truth.
After all, Ming Liding is also looking for the treasure of Laofulin. No one knows where Ming Liding has gone.
If it was an unintentional act that inspired Ming Liding, and the treasure was obtained by Ming Liding, it was just a trivial matter, and his identity was exposed, then it would be worthless.
Entering the Jade Palace, Xu Yi met Ming Liding.
Commander Ming, who was usually seen on the general stage with an air of magnanimity, became extremely amiable, pulling Xu Yi along to talk, laugh and encourage him a lot.
Xu Yi has received the care of Zhao Ling, and knows that what Ming Liding cares most about is the contribution from Dongshan Prefecture.
Anyway, filial piety is something in the future. Xu Yi made a big promise and said a lot of disgusting words. Anyway, no matter what, he had to wear the official title of Dongshan Prefecture first.
The rest will be discussed later.
Ming Liding had never been in contact with Xu Yi. He only knew that this was a new general under his command. He originally thought he was just a brave man, but he never thought that Xu Yi was so smart. He was completely relieved.
Although Ming Liding is enthusiastic, after all, you are busy with things, so your patience in socializing with Xu Yi is a great honor to Xu Yi, and you will not keep Xu Yi around for a long time.
It took only half a cup of tea to meet Xu Yi, but someone came to see Ming Liding. Xu Yi understood and left immediately.
Not a moment later, Xu Yi returned to the camp of the fifth song.
But he saw the remaining thirty people from the fifth song gathering in front of his tent.
Everyone's face was beaming with joy. Seeing Xu Yi return, Zhong Wu was so angry that he shouted, "Salute!"
More than thirty people put their hands on their chests, stamped their right feet on the ground, and performed a military salute in unison.
Xu Yi waved his hand, "What are you doing, Old Zhong, it's noon and I don't let you guys rest, what are you doing?"
Zhong Wu blushed and said with a smile, "Marquis, we all know that you are going to be a Sima soon. If you go to Dongshan Prefecture, you are a subordinate. We came here specially to congratulate the Marquis. We also hope that the Marquis will not give up in the middle of the road. The Marquis of the Army alone can become an immortal, and he is as good as a chicken or a dog..."
Zhong Wu was so excited that he was a little incoherent.
Xu Yi smiled and said, "You all know? The news spreads very quickly. Well, I would like to know if you would like to go to Dongshan with me."
"I am willing to die for the military lord!"
The roar is like thunder.
Xu Yi disbanded the team, and Zhong Wu came up again, smiling so hard that he couldn't see his eyes. "Take off the soldier's skin and become a Prefectural Office soldier. There is no risk in eating the royal food. Unless you have a broken brain, don't go. Besides, everyone knows that Lord Junhou has a bright future. If he follows your footsteps, he will not suffer..."
Xu Yi waved his hand to interrupt Zhong Wu's rambling, "Okay, stop talking nonsense and help me recruit some people. It doesn't need to be many, just thirty or forty. Is it possible?"
When he went to Dongshan Prefecture, it was a deal between Zhongshan Prefecture and Fanyang Prefecture. Zhongshan Prefecture wanted troops from a division. Although he knew that Fanyang Prefecture could not send so many people, in fact, Fanyang Prefecture only planned to support one song.
However, since Zhongshan Prefecture requested a division chief, Commander Ming simply went along with the flow and promoted Xu Yi to Army Commander, so that he could take over the subordinate position of Dongshan Prefecture.
Although, there is no need for Xu Yi to really gather all the people. After all, he still holds the title of Army Commander. If he only takes more than thirty people to go to Dongshan Prefecture, even he with such a thick skin will inevitably feel guilty.
Therefore, recruiting people has become necessary.
He couldn't afford to raise more men and horses. After a little calculation, recruiting more than thirty people would be the limit.
What's more, there are only so many yamen soldiers belonging to the order yamen.
He gathered these troops together, and when the time came, he would be able to turn into a government officer, so he wouldn't have to face another trouble.
Zhong Wu slapped his thigh, rushed up and said, "You can do it so well. The military princes don't know your current reputation. They said that I would go to Dongshan Prefecture with you to serve as a yamen soldier or a combat soldier. As long as your flag is raised, recruiting troops will be a piece of cake."
Xu Yi faced huge pressure that day and asked Zhong Wu to gather the seriously injured soldiers and retreat first. This move has already spread and has had a huge impact.
In fact, Xu Yi's move also added a heavy weight to Ming Liding's consideration of who should go to Dongshan Prefecture.
Just as Zhao Ling thought, at Ming Liding, Xu Yi has also become a thorn in the side. If Xu Yi continues to be retained, it may become a clear rule to recruit seriously injured soldiers in the future.
If this is true, how can someone drink the blood of soldiers in the future?
However, they said that after Zhong Wu took the order, Xu Yi began to handle the handover and deal with the aftermath.
First, his Sima's seal was issued, and the weaving was newly made.
Early the next morning, he led his entire army and set off.
At this moment, his army still numbered more than thirty people, but Zhong Wu was no longer among them.
Previously, Xu Yi asked Zhong Wu several times about the situation of recruiting men and horses. Zhong Wu was just trying to show off the situation in a mysterious way. He only said that Xu Yi could rest assured that he would not be disappointed. He also said that he would lead the men and horses to join him after Xu Yi set off.
After driving fast all the way, after passing the top of the eastern mountain, a group of dark clouds floated from the west sky.
From a distance, Xu Yi saw the leader Zhong Wu and immediately stopped the team.
Not long after, the dark cloud fell down, and it was Zhong Wu who led the large group of people. After careful counting, there were as many as fifty-six people.
"Greetings to Sima, luckily you have fulfilled your destiny!"
Zhong Wu prostrated himself on the ground and said loudly.
Xu Yi pointed at the crowd and said, "Hey, why are there so many familiar faces? I didn't ask you to recruit more than thirty people. Why are there so many people? They almost doubled."
Zhong Wu said with a proud smile, "It's not my fault. If it's your fault, it's Sima. You are so famous now. When I say you want to recruit troops, how can any of the brothers not respond? Brothers, they retired from various places and came here specifically for you, Sima."
Almost at the same time that Zhong Wu was laughing proudly, Ming Liding's Chinese army tent was swarming with people, but Regimental Commander gathered in a swarm, shouting for Chongtian Qu, and at the same time they denounced Army Commander Xu Yi who had disappeared long ago.
The one who shouted was more miserable than the other, and the one who accused was more miserable than the other.
Indeed, after two consecutive wars, almost no new people joined. Those who can survive can be regarded as elite soldiers in hundreds of battles. As long as the resources are sufficient, a group of the Transcendent Realm strong men can be cultivated immediately.
So many elite soldiers were abducted by Xu Yi. How could the Regimental Commander not be angry?
But everyone has left, and even the establishment has been transferred out. Ming Liding wants to make decisions for everyone, but he can't. He can only sternly reprimand the generals for their incompetence in leading the troops. However, he is very happy in his heart. Fortunately, this thorn has been removed. If he is left to stay, who knows whether the entire military system will collapse.
