Chapter 6 Hesitating
Xiao Haohu held up a Pisces mirror and looked at his own face.He is only 40 years old this year, with long eyebrows and wide mouth, with a lush mustache. He looks dignified, tall and mighty.Coupled with a luxurious brocade robe, who can tell that he is a small hundred household who led the army into the Central Plains?

This kind of tolerance deserves a bigger cause!

Xiao Haohu nodded in satisfaction, stood up with his knife in hand and went out.

Outside the door, several strong men in leather armor and armed with knives and guns stood there.

Xiao Haohu looked them up and down, saw that these people were all full of energy, and immediately ordered in a deep voice: "You follow me!"

Gaoyangguan Walled City, which was originally dilapidated and not looking good, changed its appearance in less than half a year in Xiao Haohu's hands.The inspector's office, which originally occupied only one-tenth of the platform, has expanded several times in size. According to the pattern of the frontier fort that Xiao Haohu is familiar with, ditches and earth barriers have been built around the periphery, and turrets have been erected.

A group of people marched along the edge of the camp, and wherever they went, the soldiers all paid respects with military salutes.

Xiao Haohu is a deeply Sinicized Xiren.His ancestors were attached to Daliao, made many meritorious deeds, and were given the surname Xiao.

Later, when the Great Jin destroyed the Liao Dynasty, in order to sever the Khitan people's desire to restore the country, they changed the surnames of the royal family of Yelu on a large scale, and changed the surnames of the Shulu and Shenmi clans among the noble Khitan clans to Shimo on a large scale.On the contrary, the Xi clan was not affected.

Until decades later, in the so-called "Yaoqian, Zhaoguya Jiumeng'an" along the Great Wall in northern Xinjiang, many officers of the tribal army of the Xi nationality still had the surname Xiao.

Since Dajin established the country, he has conferred eight tribal army Jiedu envoys successively on the grasslands of northern Xinjiang, and two of them are from the Xiao clan of the Xi clan.But now the leader of the Mongolian tribe, which dominates the grasslands and dominates thousands of miles, was nothing more than a tribal military governor.

This fact has always reminded Xiao Haohu that his ancestors were rich.

For this reason, Xiao Haohu never regarded himself as an ordinary hundred household, but wholeheartedly wanted to make meritorious deeds on the battlefield and gain wealth and fame.Since the Taihe period, he has been regarded as a famous and powerful figure in Qianli Bianbao Wall God.

Even if the situation in the northern border of the imperial court is in decline, and the stars of the army are scattered into the fortress, Xiao Haohu is still a very small number of officers who can maintain their subordinates in a big defeat.After capturing Gaoyang Pass, he took this military fort as the center, gradually coerced the surrounding scattered forces, and rapidly expanded his influence.

Since then, Xiao Haohu has been waiting for a chance to start again.

Beginning at the end of last year, the center of the imperial court issued orders several times. Due to the heavy military pressure in Beibi, Zhuozhou, Yizhou and other places, the military jurisdiction and patrol envoy positions under the defense prefectures and governor prefectures in the east and west of Hebei were successively removed. Promoted to Commander of the Seventh Rank Capital.

The commander of the capital is in charge of five hundred soldiers, and the number of subordinates is the same as that of the military commanders of the capitals of Zhufu towns.If something happens on the frontier, its troops are the reserve team that the imperial court can deploy.

It is easy for the imperial court to order, but it is difficult for local governments to raise funds.

In the past few years, the prefectures in Hebei have been plagued by drought and locusts, and the frontiers have continued to use troops.In Anzhou, in the face of the frequent conscripts from various recruiting divisions, Xuanfu divisions, and general management offices, it is an understatement to say that fishing is exhausted.The city prison army and the food shooting army have all been withdrawn; after many years of fighting, not one out of ten soldiers can return.

Tu Shanhang is another newly appointed governor.No matter how hard he tried to cheer himself up, no matter how strong his background was, how could he conjure up five hundred soldiers out of thin air?
Therefore, Tu Shanhang naturally focused his attention on the rout soldiers scattered in Anzhou and nearby counties and counties, and sent people to communicate with the leader of the rout soldiers several times, revealing his intention to recruit them.

All the rout leaders were tempted by this, but Xiao Haohu was the only one who responded the fastest.He personally went to Ocheng County to pay a visit to Tu Shanhang, and then he did a cruel thing, that is, dispatched capable men to quickly attack and kill many potential competitors.

The activity is in the direction of Ansu Prefecture. Guo Ning, who has always acted independently by relying on his own bravery and fighting skills, is one of them.

There are several other people, all of whom are well-known and good men.For example, Yu Liye, a Khitan stationed east of Gecheng.When this person was in Northern Xinjiang, he even fought side by side with Xiao Haohu.But Xiao Haohu didn't hold back at all.

They all blocked Xiao Haohu's way, and they had no choice but to die.

After the news of these people's death came out, it took only a day or two for other villages, villages, and clan forces from all over Anzhou to send people to Gaoyangguan to express their goodwill.It can be seen that if you want to achieve great things and become a high-ranking official, you must not hesitate, you must be ruthless, move your hands, and see blood!

Thinking of this, Xiao Haohu stopped in his tracks and stared at the hundreds of soldiers who were forming a team on the open space in the city.Under the swaying firelight, the fierce faces of these soldiers were reflected, as well as the occasional flashes of weapon reflections.

The number of soldiers of the Xi clan who followed Xiao Haohu from Fuzhou to Hebei was about a hundred.Later, he successively recruited a group of strong men, and now he has nearly [-] warriors on hand.

Since the autumn harvest was over, these people mixed together and practiced intensively for more than two months.Responsible for training them is Xiao Haohu's powerful arm, Xi Rentang Gudai.

Tang Gudai is a very experienced officer. He restrains his subordinates with military law and exercises strictly, which is very effective.So a few days ago, the raid on the leaders of the surrounding defeated troops was like a boulder pressing an egg.

According to Xiao Haohu's arrangement, these [-] warriors will be included in the Anzhou Capital Military Division together as the future low-level officers and backbones.

With these 300 people, in addition to supplementing the manpower that has been attached in the past few days, the posts of the Anzhou Capital Military Division can be fully filled.Even if Governor Tu Dan tried to seize power on a whim in the future, he would not be able to shake Xiao Haohu's position.

In the next few years, the frontier wars will only become more and more intense, and it is the time when generals will flourish.As long as you firmly grasp the strength in your hands and add a little luck, it is not unimaginable to command thousands or even tens of thousands of people!

Xiao Haohu couldn't help puffing out his chest, full of ambition.

At this time, Tang Gu stepped forward to salute.

The man's hair was disheveled, and his eyes were fierce.He is not tall, but he is extremely burly, with broad arms and a round waist. At first glance, he looks like a wild boar or a brown bear.The two exposed forearms are even more tangled like iron, which is truly terrifying; not to mention, there is still a bloody smell on his body.

Xiao Haohu said to this competent subordinate: "The soldiers went out to attack and kill in the past two days. It was very hard work. However, it was not time to rest. Just now Zhu Zhang sent someone to report that Yu Jingchun from the Xinqiao Camp had arrived, and there were still people around him. Bring soldiers and soldiers. Urge the soldiers to cheer up, but don’t let those peasants overwhelm you!”

Tang Gu said with a sinister smile: "Hundreds of households don't worry! I'll let the soldiers line up to meet them, and let them see the murderous look!"

Tang Gu took himself to arrange.

Xiao Haohu walked a few steps towards the gate of the village, ready to welcome Yu Jingchun.

After all, Yujiazhuang is one of the few rich families in Gaoyang County, and it was the first one to come to Gaoyangguan to flatter them after Xiao Haohu wiped out many routs, so we can't wait any longer.

At this time, it gets dark very quickly.Just now there was still the setting sun, but now it is already twilight.

Xiao Haohu's subordinates lit more pine torches to light up.

As the distance between the two sides approached, Xiao Haohu saw Zhu Zhang and Zhang Jiao being driven ahead, like servants leading the way.Behind the two of them, Yu Jingchun, an old scholar with his chest out and his belly out, walked calmly side by side with a tall soldier beside him.

After that, there are still some young men, which are not worth mentioning at all.

But this soldier...

Xiao Haohu stared at him a few times.

This person was wearing an iron helmet and a cloth scarf around his neck, so his face could not be seen clearly.But Xiao Haohu is an old soldier who has experienced mountains of corpses and seas of blood. You can tell from his walking posture that this person must be a good fighter who is wearing heavy armor and can fly and fight vigorously!
Xiao Haohu couldn't help but take a few more glances...

I don't know why, but it's really a little weird?
A mere soldier, does it scare me?
Xiao Haohu sneered a few times, and decided to concentrate on dealing with the situation first.

He recruited a guard: "You bring some people and bring up those detained in the water prison. No way, I'm going to make an example today! Go!"

The guard hurried away.

Xiao Haohu recruited another person: "Go and call Tart!"

Isn't Tart also another famous warrior under Xiao Haohu's subordinates.He also had a share of the credit for attacking and killing all the defeated soldiers before.

But this person has a rough personality and a good drink.So Xiao Haohu didn't rely so much on him like he did on Tang Gudai, and usually only used him as the leader of the guards.

At this time Xiao Haohu asked suddenly, the guard was stunned for a moment before he said: "Officer, you haven't come back yet!"

"Where did he go, why hasn't he come back?" Xiao Haohu said angrily.

The guard was clever, and immediately replied: "Don't the officials remember? After attacking and killing Guo Ning's troops the day before yesterday, Tat also brought the two Sabo brothers back halfway, saying that he would make up the knife just in case. He also said that he planned to find Guo Ning's headquarters and search for property..."

What looting property?Guo Ning and his gang are well-known poor ghosts, what kind of property can they have!No, this guy is just trying to take advantage of Guo Ning and others' family and women while his companions are away!

Xiao Hao thought about it for a while, and sure enough, he agreed at that time.I've been thinking too much these past two days, so I forgot.

But who knows, this fellow will never come back?
What a ignorant fool!When can't I do that thing in the crotch?Want a woman, what kind of no?Right now, when he is employing people, this guy only cares about himself!

Xiao Hao cursed nonsense, shook his head and said, "Forget it! Forget it!"

　Hello, masters, ladies, masters and ladies, have you eaten yet?By the way, I just found out that the McDonald's outside the community is gone... I'm a little sad, I can't eat maple syrup...
