Chapter 211: Inside the Big Tent

For Gao Yuan, Bai Yucheng's sudden arrival was just an unexpected episode. Bai Yucheng owed him a kindness. After being placed in Juliguan, Gao Yuan returned to the Niulan Mountain Camp

As the end of the new year approaches, the Niulanshan camp has gradually taken shape day by day, and the outer defensive facilities have been basically completed, but it will take longer to complete the various functions inside, which can only be done after the new year begins. One by one, the scale of the Niulanshan camp is several times larger than that of Liguan. This is also based on Gao Yuan's long-term consideration. In the future, the garrison here will never have only more than 2,000 people

Compared with the busy camp in the past, today's Niulanshan camp is extremely quiet, and many construction projects have also stopped. Except for the sentinels on the watchtowers around the barracks, the camp is extremely quiet. On the road that flows endlessly in the past day, no one can be seen walking at all

Because today is a big day for the Niulanshan camp, moving to defend Niulanlan, doubling the size of the troops, almost two months of training, today is the day for the new recruits to practice the big competition, and it is also the day to test the results of these two months , whether it is Gao Yuan, or Sun Xiao, the captain of the Fufengying Camp, and Zheng Xiaoyang, the captain of the Chimaying Camp, all attach great importance to this parade. For Yu Gaoyuan, this is the time to test the combat effectiveness of the army. Yu Sun Xiao and Zheng Xiaoyang In other words, it is a time to directly compete with each other

Different from the big competitions in the past, after today's big competition, there will be a flag presentation ceremony. The flags of the two camps of Fufengying and Chimaying will be handed out by Gao Yuan after the big competition. The winners of the big competition will have The right to embroider a star on the battalion flag is this star. Both Sun Xiao and Zheng Xiaoyang's eyes turned red. Both of them knew that the star was embroidered on the battalion flag. In the days to come, they could show off their might in front of their opponents. Sun Xiao considers himself Gao Yuan's confidant, so how could he be willing to lose to Zheng Xiaoyang, and Zheng Xiaoyang's qualifications in the army are much longer and older than Sun Xiao's, and he doesn't want to lose to a younger generation, the two sides are fully prepared strength. To compare males and females in this big competition

Compared with the tense atmosphere outside, on the edge of the school grounds, inside the tent that was set up temporarily, there was laughter and laughter. Dozens of people were crowded inside, making it extremely lively. Gao Yuan sat on the main seat, and the two leading guests were an old acquaintance and acquaintance, Wu Kai, the magistrate of Fufeng County, and the other was Zheng Jun, the magistrate of Chima County, who was much younger than Wu Kailai. Duo, in his early forties, is brand new and neatly dressed. There are three long beards on the slightly thin face, sitting upright, without squinting, looking like a typical literati, occasionally chatting with everyone, and his expression is also faint. He is dressed in casual clothes, and he knows Gao Yuan The casual Wu Kai formed a stark contrast

Gao Yuan also understood in his heart that Zhang Shouyue swiped his pen. Chima and Fufeng formed a unified border defense area, and his status immediately rose to a higher level. He was in charge of the defense army's military, political and civil affairs, and firmly suppressed Zheng Jun. Of course, this made him unhappy. No one wants to have a boss under their noses. Zheng Jun's displeasure is natural. Fufeng's Wu Kai is different. His mind is on selling wine. The wine sells well, and the rest can be ignored,

Gao Yuan is in charge of the military, political and civil affairs of the entire defense zone, which is a great thing for him, at least it won't be such a headache as before. On the top of his head, he never thought about it. He has seen too much of this guy's magic since he cooperated with Gao Yuan. When he heard that Gao Yuan was going to have a military parade, he was invited to come to watch the ceremony. He immediately rushed over excitedly. Gao Yuan became stronger , the happier he is, in the future, wherever Gao Yuan's army goes, his wine can be sold there, and it will be a unique business, and all competitors will be wiped out by them, so now, what does he think of Gao Yuan? how pleasing to the eye, how comfortable

In addition to these two, there is another special audience, that is, the horse bandit Sha Potian Bai Yucheng who is currently living in Juliguan, invited Bai Yucheng to come to watch the ceremony, Gao Yuan was actually just out of politeness, he did not expect After Bai Yucheng heard it, without saying a word, he rode over and rode over. His injury hadn't healed yet, but his face was a little pale as he bumped along the way. He sat beside Wu Kai, looking at the two with interest. A county magistrate with different expressions

Except for these three, the rest are Fufeng, the country gentry in Chima and the respectable people from various villages and towns, Gao Yuan has far-reaching thoughts, and the military parade brought these people here to let them see their fierce military might. , it will be of great benefit to my own control over these two places in the future, as well as future expansion

Of course, these gentry are also very happy to be invited by Gao Yuan, because this is another form of recognition of their status. Who is Gao Yuan? The scene where the Prime Minister Ye Tiannan's daughter bid farewell to Nanshan gave the county lieutenant a layer of legend. He dared to flap his wrists, dared not to ignore Zhang Shouyue, the prefect of Liaoxi County, and brazenly besieged the Prime Minister's wife. Let the big men from Jicheng be helpless, let these people not only admire Gao Yuan, but also be in awe

This is a county captain who doesn't pay much attention to the prime minister of the country. If he offends him, can he have good fruit? Received the invitation to watch the ceremony, besides being happy, it is necessary to prepare a generous gift to show that you are not overwhelmed. Even Zheng Jun, the magistrate of Chima County, had to follow the trend and prepared a gift, which surprised Gao Yuan. When they come over, they can also receive a big gift

But now Zheng Jun is annoyed by this matter, because Wu Kai, the magistrate of Fufeng County, who is of the same status as him, came empty-handed. Comparing the two, he seems to be inferior. People gathered together and whispered in whispers, Zheng Jun felt left out even more, and his heart was even more displeased

For Zheng Jun's reaction, Gao Yuan naturally saw it, but he didn't care. When the county magistrate saw his army, no matter how dissatisfied he felt, it would disappear. Zhang Shouyue divided Fufeng Chima into a unified In fact, I have assigned these two areas to myself as my territory, so as to facilitate my outward expansion, and hope to become his barrier in the west of Liaoning in the future. In this case, I naturally don't have to give him too much color When I was recruiting soldiers in Chima County and collecting grain and taxes, the county magistrate did not give up on him. He made things difficult this time. Kay will go to pull him again, in short, he must be made submissive

First make him submissive, and then start to win him over. This person is different from Wu Kai. Wu Kai is a half-educated scholar and a full-fledged businessman, but this Zheng Jun is a full-fledged scholar and a qualified bureaucrat. Such a border county has gained a firm foothold and is running well. It can be regarded as the banner of a talented person, but there is a shortage of such talents. Gao Yuan told Wu Kai unreservedly about this matter, and Wu Kai sighed. At the same time as Gao Yuan's means, he was also worried about Zheng Jun's loyalty.

"There are no disciples when people are perfect, and there are no fish when the water is clear!" Gao Yuan didn't care about this, "I use his talents. As for whether he is loyal or not, Mr. Wu, do you think that in front of my brilliant military might, Does Master Zheng dare to have second thoughts?"

Bai Yucheng didn't understand Gao Yuan's intentions, seeing how different Gao Yuan's attitude towards the two county magistrates was, he was not only secretly surprised, but also made him pay more attention to the relationship between these two adults and Gao Yuan

"Brother, you have a very cool face. I don't know where he is from?" Suddenly, Wu Kai turned around and looked at Bai Yucheng. Bai Yucheng is a famous horse bandit, even in Fufeng and Chima , everyone has heard about him. In order to avoid the squires in the tent from being afraid, Gao Yuan did not introduce him to them.

"Bai Yucheng!" The leader of the horse bandit who killed the sky cupped his hands, "I have heard Mr. Gao mention Mr. Wu's name many times."

"Bai Yucheng?" Wu Kai immediately widened his eyes, "I know you, Gao Yuan told me after he came back, the Battle of Yulin was thanks to you, wonderful, you are indeed a hero, and you are indeed a good friend, but you How did you know that Gao Yuan is going to hold this grand military parade today?"

Bai Yucheng smiled wryly, "To tell you the truth, Mr. Wu, now I was beaten into a dog in the water by Miranda. I lost my troops and lost my generals. I fled to Mr. Gao to take refuge."

"That's it!" Wu Kai said with a regretful expression on his face, "It's okay, it's okay, we are all good friends, since we're here, we can stay here with peace of mind, although Fufeng is not big, it can accommodate your brother Bai."

"I'm a horse bandit, Mr. Wu's parents are not afraid of me resuming my old job here?" Bai Yucheng joked

Wu Kai laughed, "First, you are Gao Yuan's friend, I don't worry; second, you are the enemy of the Donghu people, and the enemy of the enemy is a friend, I understand this; third, you help Gao Yuan After killing Yulin, everyone in Liaoxi County owes you a big favor, especially the frontier counties like ours are very grateful for your kindness, the fourth!" He lowered his voice and moved his mouth to Bai Yucheng's ear Go up, and whispered: "If you really dare to resume your old career in Fufeng, Gao Yuan will definitely not let you go. Although Brother Bai is famous, in my opinion, he is far from being Gao Yuan's opponent."

Bai Yucheng smiled and said, "Master Wu has a lot of confidence in Mr. Gao."

"Of course I have confidence!" Wu Kai straightened up and said proudly, "I watched Gao Yuan walk out step by step. Two years ago, Gao Yuan was just a ruffian. Two years later, he was already in command of thousands of people." General, if I don’t have confidence in him, who else should I have confidence in? Brother Bai, let me say something that shouldn’t be said, since Donghu can’t go back there, why don’t you follow Gao Yuan?”

The smile on Bai Yucheng's face faltered slightly, "Let's discuss this matter later!"

"Okay, let's talk about it later." Wu Kai nodded with a smile

While speaking, the sound of rumbling military drums suddenly sounded outside, and with the sound of the drums, the chatter and laughter in the big tent instantly quieted down, and Gao Yuan stood up, "Everyone, the auspicious time has come, let's go out to watch the ceremony!" "
