C5 No One Is Available

Taishi Ci has served only three people in his life: Kong Rong, Liu You and Sun Ce.

When Kong Rong recruited Taishi Ci, the price he paid was the simplest. When he heard that Taishi Ci was a "strange person", he specifically ordered Taishi Ci to take care of his mother. After Taishi Ci ran to the Liaodong and returned home, his mother told him: "You have to repay Kong Beihai for taking care of me."

At that time, the remnant of the Yellow Scarf wreaked havoc on Qing Prefecture, and Kong Rong's Beihai City was already surrounded by tens of thousands of Yellow Ribbon Bastard. Taishi Ci did not say anything after he heard the old lady's words, and rushed into the encirclement alone, and when he saw Kong Rong, he expressed his willingness to lead the troops to kill the Yellow Ribbon Bastard, all because Kong Rong took care of his mother.

To recruit such a filial son, of course he had to start from his mother.

Although the old manager did not understand, but when he saw Xiao Yan's confident look, he could not help but think to himself: Duke has really grown up and has a mind to do things, it seems like I don't need to say more.

At the same time, in Zhang Fen's residence.

"Haha, what a treasure. This Golden Beast has plenty of gold, and its carving is so exquisite. Truly rare."

Zhang Fen was holding a small golden beast. This was sent over by the Wealthy Class Huang County family in order to curry favor with him.

Old Longevity Yang Duke was punished by Zhang Fen and died in prison. He was like a chicken to a monkey.

This caused all of the Wealthy Classes within the Huang County to be filled with fear, and as a result, all of the Wealthy Classes present their gifts.

"Zhang Fu, go to the Xiao Family and urge them to quickly hand over the land to Xiao Yan. It's not like we aren't going to pay." Zhang Fen instructed Strong Servant, who was beside him.

"Alright patriarch, this servant will go now."

Zhang Fen was confidently waiting for Zhang Fu's good news. Unexpectedly, Zhang Fu's face was full of panic.

"Bad news, Patriarch!"

"What is it? That Xiao Yan still dares not resist, looks like this Duke Mansion will have to carry out two useless affairs in succession. " Zhang Fen said with a dark expression.

Zhang Fu took a deep breath, "Patriarch, that Xiao Yan..." That Xiao Yan, he gave three hundred days to the Liu family! "

"The Liu Clan?" Zhang Fen's expression changed when he heard that.

With his elder brother's prestige, Zhang Fen could be said to be arrogant in Huang County, but there were only two people that he could not offend, and that was Hsu Shen and Liu Qi. Hsu Shen was a family with a deep background, and as for Liu Qi, he was in the family, so how could he dare to bully the lord with his slaves?

Bang!

With five fingers on the table, Zhang Fen's eyes lit up: "Good boy, you want to stir up trouble? Hmph! Master, how can you do as you wish? "

"Patriarch, what should we do?"

Zhang Fen waved his hands, "Forget it, I just forced the death of Old Marquis Xiao. It's not good to make a move on other people. For now, let it go, we'll talk about it later."

Just like this, Zhang Fen's situation came to an end, and Xiao Family Dock Fort construction and recruitment began.

"Remember, those who have a wife, or whose parents are still alive must not recruit those idle men." Xiao Yan explained.

It was a good thing that the soldiers were concerned about him. This way, it would not be easy for them to betray him. It had something to do with it.

Hundreds of people gathered in a spacious field. Each one of them looked sincere and sincere. After all, they were farmers who worked in the countryside for generations. Naturally, there was no need to talk about arrayed troops, as they were scattered all over the place.

Xiao Yan looked at the group of people and frowned. He said to the person beside him, "Xiao Shi, how many people have been recruited?"

"Duke, there are a total of 1200 people here. Nearly half of their youths are here."

Xiao Shi was also a servant of Duke Mansion, but he was born to be a head taller than Xiao Yan. If he were to fight in armor, he would at least be a valiant soldier.

Therefore, Xiao Yan let Xiao Shi temporarily be the leader of these 1200 people. After all, he didn't know a thing about military strategy and tactics. This Xiao Shi was tall and strong, but at least he had the dignity of a leader.

"From today onwards, you are my Duke Mansion's general. Are you willing to be in charge of training these one thousand two hundred people?" Xiao Yan asked.

Xiao Shi was overjoyed. His family general was much better than his family servant: "Duke ordered, you dare to disobey?"

The new officer was under fire. Xiao Shi also wanted to show off in front of Duke, so he coughed and shouted, "Don't make any noise. Listen to my command and quickly line up!"

One thousand and two hundred people heard the order and immediately began to move. However, they had never been in a formation before. They only knew how to line up, but didn't know how to line up.

Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw Xiao Yan's dissatisfied expression. Xiao Shi wiped his sweat and walked forward a few steps, raised his whip and lashed it on a person's body. Stand up for me! "

"Does Fang Zhen know? If not, you will eat my whip! " Xiao Shi shouted.

However, his actions caused the group of farmers to become even more confused. All of them wanted to quickly arrange the formation, but the situation had become even more chaotic.

"Forget it, there's no need to arrange a formation." Xiao Yan waved his hand, "Make more stone locks and other items. Order everyone to work hard."

He finally saw clearly that this Xiao Shi was tall and big, in fact, he did not have any talent in leading troops, which made him completely blind. If these thousand odd people were to meet Yellow Ribbon Bastard, they would not be able to last past a single exchange.

Sigh, there's nothing Xiao Yan can do about it. He doesn't know military strategy, and the modern military training method probably won't work either. Besides, he only knows how to queue up, so he doesn't know anything else.

When other people crossed paths, they would cast force when their tiger body shook. They trained their troops and horses, but they only had a big stupid fellow by their side.

Hm? Wait, isn't Taishi Ci already a famous general?

Although he had yet to grow up to become a great general that even the little overlord Sun Ce had a whole new level of respect for, he was still stronger than Xiao Shi, right?

"Prepare the carriage, this marquis will invite TaiShi Ziyi to the banquet!" Xiao Yan said loudly.

"..."

That night, within the Duke Mansion.

Xiao Yan and Taishi Ci each sat at a table. The copper furnace was emitting a strange fragrance, and a few rows of candles were emitting light. The four maids entered the room one by one and placed the delicacies on the plates in front of them.

"Brother Wu Tie, there's no need to stand on ceremony. Please." Xiao Yan raised his wine cup towards Taishi Ci and downed it in one gulp.

"Thank you, Duke."

Taishi Ci was much less reserved and also finished his drink in one gulp.

"Duke has invited Ci Ci many times, but he is only a mere official. I really can't thank you enough." Taishi Ci said with a straight face, "Although his status is low, he knows how to repay kindness. I wonder if there is anything that can repay Duke?"

Taishi Ci's eyes were shining brightly. Xiao Yan understood clearly in his heart: "It seems like Taishi Ci is not stupid. I have already guessed that Taishi Ci has a request for him because I value him so highly."

"In that case, I won't hide it."
