    ?

    At this time, while Zhang Huanghu was marching southward, Li Wuke was also attacking the city in the north. His strength was still higher than that of Zhang Huanghu, and the imperial court was now being defeated by him.

    A group of officers and soldiers defeated by him was fleeing to Wuchang Mansion at this time. These officers and soldiers who fled could neither return to their hometown nor have other livelihoods to live on.  The team plundered wealthy households, and eventually embarked on the road of rebellion against the imperial court.

    But at this time they caught up with a coincidence, and they met the gentry and wealthy households in Wuchang who paid money to recruit soldiers, so they were all recruited.

    This newly recruited army is called "Chu Mansion Soldiers", and there is no general in Wuchang Mansion, so everyone publicly elected Xu Xirong, a long-time strategic official, as the commander of the Chu Mansion Soldiers.

    It seems that the situation is very good, everyone in Wuchang Mansion is excited and enthusiastic, just waiting for Zhang Huanghu to come and decide the outcome.

    ?He Yuxian, the other rich gentry and the Chu army commander Xu Xirong also thought that Wuchang was safe and secure, and they were a little bit smug.

    It is said that in the Huangzhou area of ??Qizhou, after Zhang Huanghu attacked the city, many officers and soldiers were also beaten and scattered.

    When they heard the news of Wuchang Mansion's recruitment, they all rushed to apply for it.

    Therefore, in the past few days, more and more people have come to the recruitment office of Wuchang Mansion to apply.

    Being a soldier and receiving food and pay, there is a way for these defeated soldiers to survive.  Moreover, Wuchang Mansion's recruitment of soldiers from Chu Mansion gave the soldiers very good treatment. I heard that even Shang Meizhang's soldiers were jealous when they heard about the conditions.  It forced Shang Meizhang to increase his salary once, and he was so angry that he scolded his mother all night in the Chinese army tent.

    It is already April weather at this time, and the weather in Wuchang has become hotter.

    This day, as soon as the recruiting office opened early in the morning, a lot of applicants came in groups.  From the shape, it can be seen that it is a military uniform issued by the imperial court, but whether it is thick or thin, people can't guess whether it is winter clothes or spring and summer clothes.

    Although it can be seen that they are wearing military uniforms, the military uniforms worn by these people are also different, and it is estimated that they should be teams from different places.

    And these people also spoke various accents, shouted loudly, and were crowded in front of several registration desks in the recruitment office.

    The whole recruiting office was full of noise.

    Suddenly, there was a rude shout from a registration desk: "Straight mother thief! I don't go to join the rogues to join your 'Chu Fubing'. You want to ask me for regular money. What's the reason for that!" an unshaven beard  , the big man with his clothes hanging in pieces was patting the registration table and pointing to a fat scholar-like man sitting behind the table.

    Immediately afterwards, several rout soldiers who came with him also shouted and cursed.

    A few soldiers from the Chu government who maintained order rushed over with whips, "Who is making trouble here? I'm tired of life!" He said and beat the broken soldiers who were screaming with whips.

    "Straight mother thief! How dare you do it!"

    The few rout soldiers who came to sign up and scolded immediately scuffled with the soldiers of the Chu government who were maintaining order.

    Others who came to sign up, some stood far away to watch the excitement, and some felt angry after learning about the situation, and fought with the soldiers of the Chu government who were maintaining order.

    "Stop!"

    Seeing that things were getting worse and worse, more and more people came to sign up, and they all blocked the door of the recruiting office, asking what happened.

    The soldiers of the Chu government who maintained order could no longer hold back, and began to retreat one after another.  Someone ran to call more soldiers from the Chu government.

    This finally alarmed the recruiter Zhang Zhiyou who was drinking tea in the next room.

    He brought a few armed guards to the recruiting office and gave a loud shout.

    Seeing that the guards behind him were holding weapons in their hands, the unshaven man who led the trouble didn't dare to do anything again.

    Other troublemakers who signed up for the rout also stopped one after another.

    Zhang Zhiyou was very proud of his power. He stood with his horsewhip in his hand, raised his head, and proudly asked the crowd: "What happened? Who is making trouble here?"

    Everyone looked at him without answering.

    At this time, a soldier from the Chu family who was beaten to maintain order here came up, pointed at the unshaven man and said: "He is the one who took the lead in making trouble and beat us!"

    "Hey, you're so brave, take it down for me!" Zhang Zhiyou immediately ordered the guards.

    A group of rout soldiers who came to sign up immediately surrounded the big man, staring at Zhang Zhiyou and his guards, all of them had twitches on their faces.? A desperate expression.

    And those who came to sign up were all commotion.

    Those guards originally wanted to go forward, but seeing this situation, they hesitated and did not dare to go forward.

    Zhang Zhiyou said angrily: "You idiots, hurry up and take it down!"

    These guards of the Chu family soldiers were recruited just now, and they had sympathy for the defeated soldiers who came to sign up, but now they saw that a recruiter in Zhangzhi actually yelled at them, and immediately felt dissatisfied, and they all stared at them coldly  He doesn't move.

    "You" Seeing this situation, Zhang Zhi couldn't help feeling scared.

    "Everyone stop!" Suddenly a majestic voice shouted.

    A middle-aged scholar with three long beards, an elegant appearance, but not angry and arrogant, came slowly with only two entourages.

    At this time, the middle-aged scholar and his entourage had heaving chests and were panting slightly, obviously rushing over here in a hurry.

    Behind them was a soldier from the Chu family, it seemed that he was the one who ran to find the middle-aged scholar just now.

    Seeing the middle-aged scholar, all the soldiers of the Chu Mansion present stood up solemnly and said, "Commander Xu."

    The middle-aged scholar who came was none other than Xu Xirong, the commander of the Chu army.

    Xu Xirong nodded slightly and said, "What happened?"

    Recruiting officer Zhang Zhiyou hurriedly stepped forward and said to Xu Xirong: "Commander Xu, I have been appointed by He Dashi, all the gentry and elders, and the government to recruit soldiers here. How could I have expected that some lunatics from nowhere would disturb the order of recruitment.  It is being processed at this time."

    Xu Xirong didn't look at him, but looked at the crowd and asked: "Is what Mr. Zhang said true? If you have anything to say, just say it, this leader will make the decision for you!"

    Zhang Zhiyou saw that Xu Xirong didn't look at him, but asked the crowd again, standing there in embarrassment.

    In the crowd, the rout soldiers and villagers who came to sign up looked at each other without opening their mouths.

    One of Xu Xirong's entourage stepped forward and said: "Everyone, my family leader has said it. If you have anything to say, just say it. My family leader will make the decision for you!"

    After a while, the unshaven man finally squeezed out from the crowd, came to Xu Xirong, knelt down on one knee and gave a military salute: "I bow to Commander Xu."

    Xu Xirong looked at him and said, "There's no need to be too polite, but you have something to say?"

    "That's right, I do have something unclear and would like to ask Commander Xu." The big man stood up and said, looking straight into Xu Xirong's eyes.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
