Chapter 71: Expansion of the Army

Holding a beautiful woman in his arms, stepping on the snow to search for plums, feeling each other's heartbeats and the trembling of his body, the feeling at that moment, whether it is a lofty past life or this life, has never been experienced. At that moment, he really realized what it is I only envy the mandarin ducks, not the immortals. If this life can be like this every day, every time, what can I ask for!

The only fly in the ointment is that they are obsessed with that quiet two-person world, completely forgetting the passage of time, and when they return to the city, it is the beginning of the lantern season, and the consequence is that Ye Feng was beaten by Ye Shi. As a result, when Ye Feng cried and found Gao Yuan, Gao Yuan could only be coaxed and made a lot of promises. The parties involved did not receive any punishment from the Ye family, which was a fortune among misfortunes.

With a satisfying aftertaste and joy, Gao Yuan happily returned to the barracks on the third day. The moment he saw the barracks, Gao Yuan was stunned and rubbed his eyes vigorously. He thought he had gone to the wrong place. .

There was no mistake, it was indeed his own barracks, but, when did the grass huts surrounding the barracks appear? At least one of those large groups with tattered clothes, yellow faces, and thin skin, could not find a few taels of flesh. Where did the two hundred men who were sitting or lying down jumped out?

"Gao Bing Cao is back!" The two spear-wielding sentries guarding the gate of the Yuan saw him when Gao Yuan's eyes widened for no reason.

With this shout, not only the soldiers pouring out of the dormitories, but outside the barracks, the men in ragged clothes suddenly stood up, and the soldiers rushed to Gaoyuan together.

Gao Yuan was taken aback by the huge battle, and he almost turned his horse and ran away. A hero does not suffer immediate losses. Gao Yuan still understands the truth. He just tightened his hand and suddenly reflected, no, this is his own military camp. The people in front of them have their own soldiers, why did they run away? Cao Tiancheng and Sun Xiao were the ones who ran in the front. Well, the wound in my heart is almost healed, of course, maybe the scar is hidden deeper.

Looking at the appearance of the soldiers and those men, they seem to be getting along very well. What is going on? He turned over and dismounted, and led the horse to meet the crowd.

"Bing Cao!" Cao Tiancheng and Sun Xiao ran up to Gao Yuan, their faces flushed with excitement, at the same time they clenched their fists with their left hands and slapped them hard on their right chest. "I want to kill us."

Gao Yuan laughed, "I miss you too! How about you, you didn't slack off when I wasn't around?"

"How dare you be lazy?" Sun Xiao said with a smile: "I was trained by the army officer for a few months, and now if I don't practice him a few times a day, my whole body is itchy."

"The commander has traveled a long distance and has been working hard all the way, but he still didn't forget to bring us a New Year's gift. Many thanks to the commander!" Cao Tiancheng said gratefully.

"Since it's a brother, then no matter where you go, you naturally have to think of everyone. A little trifle is nothing more than a thought. By the way, Tiancheng, what's going on!" Gao Yuan looked at the soldiers around the soldiers. A man with a hopeful face.

With Gao Yuan's gaze, more than two hundred men all knelt down with a hula, and kowtowed like smashing garlic. Kneeling around in the middle doesn't seem to be very pleasant.

"Gao Bing Cao, accept us!"

"Gao Bing Cao, we will follow you as a soldier!"

"Gao Bing Cao, we are going to kill the Donghu people!"

"Gao Bing Cao, we want revenge!"

"Gao Bing Cao, take us to take revenge!"

The thunderous roars from outside bombarded Gao Yuan to the extreme. Seeing these men with expressions of excitement or grief, he couldn't help being dumbfounded, and stood there speechless.

"Gaobing Cao, go back to the barracks first, let's talk slowly!" Seeing that the situation was not right, Cao Tiancheng quickly gave Sun Xiao a wink, Sun Xiao immediately separated from the two infantrymen, Yan Haibo came over to lead the war horse, and led Gao Yuan all the way. Entering the Yuanmen. But Cao Tiancheng stayed behind, comforting the group of men there.

Walking into the Yuanmen, at a glance, I saw Zheng Xiaoyang, who was smiling but not smiling, standing there holding his arms, looking like he was watching a joke.

"Brother Zheng!" Gao Yuan clasped his fists and called out politely.

"Brother Gao has worked hard all the way. This time, I went to Liaoxi City with Lu Xianwei, which must have opened my eyes!" Zheng Xiaoyang returned a salute, but he was still a bit yin and yang.

"Don't dare, it's really an eye-opener, Liaoxi City is worthy of being a county town, it's not something we can compare with the wind, and when we get there, we realize that we are really a remote rural area, Yangxi City is like this, I don't know what Jicheng is like. If you have a chance, you must go and see it.”

"Ha!" Zheng Xiaoyang laughed, "I'm afraid it's rare!" With a flick of his sleeves, he turned around and went back to the dormitory. The soldiers behind him immediately followed him into the door, and the door closed with a bang.

"Gao Bing Cao Mo is angry, he just hasn't been to Liaoxi City, and his eyes are hot Bing Cao went!" Sun Xiao laughed at the side.

Gao Yuan looked at the closed door and said thoughtfully: "They seem to be a little different!"

"In these days when Bing Cao was away, we still carried out training according to the tasks assigned by Bing Cao. At the beginning, these guys were still watching the fun, and they would not get up until they didn't sleep until the sun was up. Later, they were probably a little embarrassed. Soldier Cao also followed our example and organized his dozens of soldiers to start training, not to mention, after training for more than 20 days, these dozens of soldiers seem to be more energetic."

Gao Yuan smiled and nodded, "Yes, it seems that this Zheng Bing Cao is not completely a dry eater. It is good to be able to practice, to be willing to practice, and to have this heart, this Zheng Bing Cao will also have great achievements in the future. "

Pushing open the door, a burst of hot air blows in, the windows in the room are almost bright, and the big kang is burning hot.

Seeing that Gao Yuan had some doubts, Sun Xiao quickly explained: "In these days when Bing Cao was away, we would come to clean Bing Cao's house every day. After Yan Haibo and the infantry returned to the barracks, we didn't know when Bing Cao would come back, so we made the big kang every day. Burn it well, so that when the soldiers enter the door, the fire will be cold and autumn smoke."

"I have a heart!" Gao Yuan nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, I really feel like going home, sit down and talk, what's going on outside?"

Pointing to the outside, Gao Yuan asked.

"Gao Bing Cao, these are the survivors from the village outside when the Donghu people invaded a month ago. They were young, they ran fast, and they escaped by luck, but their family members..." Sun Xiao shook his head." I heard them say that after returning, some found the bodies of their relatives, while others found nothing, and they were all alone."

"Then what's the matter with them gathering with us?" Gao Yuan asked dissatisfiedly.

Sun Xiao suddenly became excited, "Gao Bing Cao, you don't know, these days when you were away, you only brought Yan Haibo and the infantry out of the city, and you killed more than a dozen Donghu people. The deeds are now in Fufeng County. But everyone knows it. Storytellers even make up stories and tell them in teahouses! Every day there are huge crowds of people. These men originally came to the county to ask the magistrate to decide for them. After listening to these stories, They came to us, wanting to be a soldier, wanting to learn skills from Bing Cao, so as to kill the Donghu people to avenge!"

"We are the army!" Gao Yuan couldn't help laughing, "They come as soon as they want? Besides, such a group of guys who have been dazzled by hatred really understand what an army is and what is military discipline?"

"Bing Cao, when you first came, didn't we also understand nothing? But you look at us now, we are banned, right, this is the word you said, these people are full of hatred in their hearts, better, hatred can make people Full of strength, after a few months of practice, he is definitely a good player." Sun Xiao said excitedly.

Gao Yuan stood up and walked around the house for a few times, "You are right, these people are not concerned now, but they can be accepted. We are going to be stationed at Curie Pass after the new year, and now there are people outside Curie Pass. With such an unruly Donghu tribe, I'm afraid that there will be no less conflicts, and the hundred of us are indeed a bit alone."

"Yes, yes, when these people came, Tiancheng said that Gao Bingcao would definitely accept them. These days, Tiancheng cooks a pot of porridge every day to save their lives. If Bingcao promises to accept them, then today we will accept them. Can we feed them according to the regular soldiers' meals? It's just soldiers, our team only has one hundred soldiers, if they come, what will happen to this number?" Sun Xiao was excited, but a little embarrassed.

"Take it first, and tell them that now I don't have any military salaries to pay them, so I can only take care of the meals. When I have money next year, I will be able to re-issue the military salaries. As for the number of troops, don't worry about it, I will go to the county. Wei said."

"Come on, why did I forget that the county magistrate is your uncle!" Sun Xiao said happily.

"You go out and tell them that if you want to join the army, you have to strictly observe military discipline. You first tell them what military discipline is, and you can recite it to them one by one. If you can't stand it, ask them to leave. For the past two days, let them first Give me the general discipline by heart, I will check it after two days, and if you can't memorize it, I will not accept it!" Gao Yuan said sharply.

"Understood!" Sun Xiao said loudly as he straightened up.

Watching Sun Xiao go out, Gao Yuan couldn't help smiling, and when he was really dozing off, someone brought a pillow over.

There was a sudden loud cheering from outside, and it was obvious that Sun Xiao had already told these refugees outside who had lost their homes of his decision.
