Chapter 9 Come to the Bowl

Gao Shun was stunned at first, and then subconsciously wanted to refuse, but saw Zhang Cai staring directly at him.

"It was me, how did Brother Zhang find out." Gao Shun let out a sigh of relief and admitted.

"You know too much." Zhang Cai shook his head, seeing Gao Shun's suspicious expression, he explained:

"You said that you came to join relatives from other places, but your accent is obviously local, and you know too much about Xiapi.

I am a local, so it is not surprising that I know so much, but you, a foreigner, how can you know so much? "

"I see." Gao Shun smiled wryly, and said, "Brother Zhang is not an ordinary person who can observe these things."

"That's right, I have served in the army, served as a commander under Tao Shijun, and participated in the battle against Dong." Zhang Cai admitted freely: "After Tao Shijun died of illness, I didn't want to follow others, so I went home. "

Veteran!Gao Shun was a little surprised, he didn't expect to meet someone who was a soldier in this remote mountainous area.

But if you think about it carefully, it’s not surprising.When Tao Qian was the prefect of Xuzhou, he vigorously recruited soldiers, and more than half of the males in the territory joined the army.

After Tao Qian's death, Liu Bei didn't like the hearts of the local people, so naturally some people left the army.

Seeing that Zhang Cai confessed his identity, Gao Shun no longer concealed it, and explained his real name and identity, but he did not say the purpose of his trip.

"You are Gao Shun? Gao Shun of Lu Bu's men?" Zhang Cai said in surprise that he had heard his name.

"That's right, that's right." Gao Shun smiled wryly, "But now Gao Shun is Cao Cao's subordinate."

"You... Xiapi City was captured?"

"Yes, Lu Bu was killed, so I voted for Cao Cao." They were far away from Xiapi, so it was normal that they didn't know the details.

But Gao Shun didn't say much, just explained a sentence lightly.

Then the two fell into silence, only the occasional slight crackling sound from the oil lamp could be heard.

"By the way, why are there no people in the surrounding villages, but you have so many people here?" Gao Shun asked his doubts.

"We have no choice but to." Zhang Cai has his own difficulties:
"The thieves have become more and more rampant in recent years, and several bandit families gathered on the nearby mountains, and they came down to loot every now and then.

In the past few years, several villages were looted and most of the people in the village died.

Tao Shijun was better when he was there, and he would send troops up the mountain to suppress bandits, but since Shijun died of illness, when the others took office, they didn't care about the bandits on the mountain at all.

In desperation, we can only gather the nearby villages together, with more people and more young and middle-aged people, so that we can still have some self-protection ability when the thieves come. "

"That's true." Gao Shun nodded, but decided to directly state his purpose:
"I'm here this time to recruit soldiers!"

"Recruitment?" Zhang Cai was a little puzzled, "Isn't the general..."

Gao Shun knew what he was going to say, so he smiled bitterly and said: "That was under Lu Bu, but under Prime Minister Cao, there were no new recruits at all, and now there is not a single soldier!"

"This..." Zhang Cai fell into silence. Gao Shun's intention was obviously unexpected to him, and he didn't know what to do at the moment.

Some of them have been in the army, including him, they are all veterans.But how many people are willing to return to the army again?

Don't talk about others, just ask yourself if you are willing to give up the life with your wife and children, go to the army, and fight on the battlefield.

the answer is negative.

Seeing that Zhang Cai fell into silence and Gao Shun stopped talking, he could also feel the entanglement of this bold man.

After a long time, Zhang Cai raised his head and said sullenly: "Tomorrow, you can try it in the town. I don't guarantee whether they will follow you, but no matter how many people you take away, you must promise me two things." .”

Zhang Cai stared at Gao Shun, and said in a hoarse voice: "I escaped from the army because of two reasons, one is that the army owes us wages, and the other is that those officials don't regard our lives as human lives.

You can't do this. Since they are leaving with you, you have to treat them like your soldiers. If you let me know that you have done something wrong to them, I will chase you to death. "

Looking at the serious man in front of him, Gao Shun nodded slowly.

"Go to bed earlier, I will accompany you tomorrow morning." Zhang Cai blew out the oil lamp.

……

Early in the morning, Gao found his equipment and silver by the way, and followed Zhang Cai to the open space in the center of the town.

"Folks, this is General Gao from Xiapi City. He is here today to recruit troops."

Seeing Zhang Cai leading a well-equipped stranger, the people around him naturally gathered together. At this time, they all started whispering when they heard Zhang Cai's words.

"Folks." Gao Shun knew that it was time for him to stand up, and he untied the bag of silver in his hands: "I don't serve as a soldier for nothing, and I give one tael of silver as a settling allowance!"

The white silver rolled to the ground, making the sound of metal colliding, and the sound of the collision was accompanied by the sound of people around swallowing.

This is money, white money.

From Gao Shun's point of view, these few hundred taels are not a big deal, even though he bought it from the house seller, it is far from enough to recruit soldiers.

This is from his point of view, and those ordinary people don't think so.

You know, money, even a tael of silver, can buy a few stones of millet, enough to feed a family for several months.

And this is just the settlement fee, who knows if the military salary will continue to be paid in the future?

Gao Shun is very satisfied with the current effect, the surroundings are completely silent, which makes it easier for him to act next.

Just as he was about to continue talking, a thin figure suddenly jumped out from the crowd, ran directly towards the silver on the ground, grabbed two handfuls and ran away.

"Little bastard!" Gao Shun reacted quickly, grabbed him back, and lifted him by the neck, annoyed and funny.

A little boy, who seemed to be in his early ten years old, was caught by him and still holding the money in his hand tightly.

"Whose family does this belong to?" Gao Shun took the silver out of his arms easily, and asked how the strength of a child could compare with that of an adult.

"I, my family, offended the military master, so please military master..." An old man squeezed out of the crowd and looked at Gao Shun timidly.

Gao Shun took a closer look and saw that this was the father-in-law who had previously misunderstood him as a thief. He chuckled twice and said, "You have to take good care of your child, that is, me. If it were another person, I might not be able to teach him a lesson."

After saying that, he let go of his hand, and the boy jumped into the old man's arms, turned his face and looked at him timidly.

After this frolicking, the surrounding atmosphere became active, and people kept asking Gao Shun questions.

"Master, do we have military pay?"

"Master, are we going to fight?"

"Master Jun, can we come back and see our family after we serve as soldiers?"

For these questions, Gao Shun had already drafted in his heart, and the answers were fluent:
"Of course there is military pay. Ordinary soldiers pay half a tael per month, and each level increases."

"Wars must be fought. Is it possible to be a soldier without fighting?"

"I agree, and you can come back."

Gao Shun answered the question, clapped his hands again, and said loudly:
"Folks, it is a good thing to be a soldier. The army not only provides food, but also pays the army, and can also support the family. If one person joins the army, the whole family is honored.

There have been many natural disasters in the past few years, and I can't grow any food by farming, and I can barely fill my stomach. Why don't you join the army?
When you become a soldier, you have the ability to protect yourself, and you will not be robbed by thieves on the mountain.

Not only that, I will take you up the mountain to suppress the bandits and completely protect everyone's safety! "

　Why are there more people investing but no collections?
