Calculating the time, it really took around three months to complete the preparations and start the expedition.

"Deran, Uncle Shi told you to go out..." Two days later, when it was mid-February, Lu Yan came to the school grounds and shouted.

"Canshan, you and I have agreed to be sworn brothers, so my father, isn't it your father? Ordinarily, you should call him 'Father'." Liu Tao put down the stone lock in his hand, and walked towards him while wiping his sweat. past.

"That's what I called it at first, but he just said what he said." Lu Yan spread his hands, and he really didn't blame him for this.

"Well, my father has this personality..." Liu Tao was taken aback when he heard this, then shook his head and walked out of the camp.Even if it is a militia, a military camp is a military camp, so it is natural not to allow irrelevant personnel to approach.

As soon as I arrived at the outskirts of the militia camp, I saw Liu Yuanqi who hadn't seen him for a few days, and there were many young people around him.Only then did Liu Tao remember that this father had said before that he was going to help him find some soldiers in the clan, but he forgot about it.

"Why are you wearing so little? Although the weather has turned warm, it's still a bit cold..." Seeing Liu Tao coming out in a single suit, Liu Yuanqi frowned.

"I was working hard just now, and I was sweating all over. I took off my coat when I got hot." Liu Tao quickly explained, almost instinctively.When any children are questioned by their parents, they will subconsciously explain or shirk responsibility.

"Have you wiped your sweat? Forget it...you are such a big person..." Liu Yuanqi wanted to say a few words, and then he realized that the Liu Tao in front of him was no longer the kid in his memory, he was even taller than him Gao Gao, "Let me introduce you, you all come up!"

The two young people behind him immediately brought over 50 other young people to Liu Tao.

"The next 50 people are all descendants of the Liu family. Their seniority is either your cousin or your cousin. Of course, there are also one or two clan nephews. They are basically from the fifth service. These are the soldiers I found for you. "Liu Yuanqi took the lead in introducing the next 50 people.

Liu Tao glanced at it and found that there was no Liu Bei inside, so he nodded to express his understanding.As for the appearance of a nephew, even a nephew who is older than him, it is not surprising.In my memory, Xun You is six years older than Xun Yu, and he still calls him 'uncle'.

"Marching and fighting is no child's play. Even if I am the founder of this militia, I can't take special care of you just because you are my clan..." Liu Tao looked at the 50 people and shouted, "If you can't bear hardships, you are greedy for life and afraid of death. Yes, it's best to go straight back."

"..." However, the 50 people had no intention of going back at all.

"What you said is actually meaningless..." Liu Yuanqi coughed lightly, "Those who are timid and afraid of getting into trouble, those who love to relax and work hard, basically don't come here. Don't be polite to them, the stricter you are, the happier they will be."

"I can't, are they all a group of people who like to be abused?" Liu Tao asked Liu Yuanqi in a low voice when he heard the words, his head was full of black lines.

"What stupid words?" Liu Yuanqi patted Liu Tao's head when he heard the words, "These tribesmen are actually the bastards of various families, or the second sons..."

To put it simply, it is difficult to inherit the family business. Basically, in the future, you can only rely on your own hard work.Just like Liu Tao fooling the four people, Liu Yuanqi had to fool his clansmen like this, and then recruited fifty fools full of dreams.

How can anyone not die in a war?You can see the meritorious deeds, but you can't see the corpses behind...

"Anyway, you're dawdling at home and doing nothing. You take it to the army to practice well. No matter what, it's better to have some people of your own in the army." Liu Yuanqi further explained.

"As long as you are not afraid of death and are willing to obey orders..." Liu Tao immediately came to them when he heard the words, "I, Liu Tao, Liu Deran promise to you that one day I will be rich and honored, and I will never treat you badly! I will have a bite of dry food , I will definitely not let you drink anything dilute!"

"Thank you, leader!" Everyone responded one after another. Liu Tao's identity is not a general after all, so it's not good to call him indiscriminately.Finally, after much deliberation, he simply called him the leader.

Liu Tao nodded. With this momentum and attitude, the first impression is really good. Afterwards, as long as he supports the daily practice, then with them as his personal soldiers, he will indeed be much safer.It's just that I'm not used to calling Liu Tao like this, and I feel like I've become the king of the mountain.

"The other two are these two..." Seeing that Liu Tao had already greeted them, Liu Yuanqi pushed the other two young people up.In fact, just now, the two had been sizing up Liu Tao.

At the beginning, it was a school test or observation, and even a little disdainful, but then his complexion improved a little.

"First of all, this one!" Liu Yuan first introduced the one on the left, "Your Zijing uncle's concubine son, your elder brother Liu Ge, nicknamed Zirui, is the one who stops fighting and becomes martial. Ten years ago, he started everywhere... Well, you are very proficient in studying abroad, martial arts, riding and archery..."

It is said to be a study tour, but in fact, he went out to become a ranger, and then added the skills of horse riding and archery, plus the skills of ring sword and marksmanship.Considering that he is the son of Liu Zijing's family, even if he is a bastard, his knowledge should not be too bad.

Liu Zijing, yes, that's the name. A few months ago, when Liu Yuanqi asked him to send some things to Zijing's uncle's house, Liu Tao was shocked for a moment, and then the memory about Liu Zijing surfaced in his memory. .

It is not surprising that the characters are the same. Hu Zhao from Yingchuan, like Zhuge Liang, both have the character Kongming; according to some gossip from later generations, it is said that Gao Shun and Sima Yi are both named Zhongda.It's just that the Sima family won the world later, so they didn't hide his name in order to avoid taboo.

Compared with Liu Yuanqi, an aspiring father, Liu Zijing is a standard country gentleman.When Liu Bei pointed to the big mulberry tree in the southeast corner of the house and said, "I will definitely ride in such a Yubao covered car in the future", Liu Zijing immediately persuaded him, "Don't talk nonsense, and our family will be punished."

With just that one incident, Liu Zijing's image as a local squire has basically been highlighted.

Liu Yuanqi still hoped that the younger generation would be successful, but Liu Zijing only wanted to live in peace and stability, and his life was better than Liu Yuanqi's. He had several wives and concubines, so he had many more children than Liu Yuanqi.

As a concubine, Liu Ge is naturally not welcomed at home, and he will have to rely on himself in the future.He did not learn to cultivate land, nor did he learn a craft like Liu Bei. Instead, he went to be a ranger for ten years and came back after learning all the skills.

"By the way..." Liu Yuanqi finally concluded, "Liu Ge beat those 50 people to the ground, and showed his strength, so I will recommend it alone."

"If the clan brother is really capable, I will use it at my own discretion!" Liu Tao nodded, and then promised him.

"I don't even have the qualifications to be a leader?" Liu Ge frowned, confident in his skills.

"The militia is not my own militia. If the other two commanders have no objections, then I have no objections. After all, if you can take care of your own people, you must take care of your own people." Liu Tao laughed, "In addition..."

Chapter 26 The Talents in the Clan

"Also..." Liu Tao looked at another young man next to him, "Don't tell me this guy has no plans to become a commander?!"

"If I have this opportunity, I will do my part." The latter replied with a smile, with a very good attitude and self-cultivation.

"By the way, let me introduce..." Liu Yuanqi also remembered that there is another person, but there is no way, this person can only be regarded as half of the old Liu family, "This person is called Shangguan Yu, whose name is Xingming. He's your cousin."

So it turns out that although the surname is not Liu, he is a cousin of the old Liu family, and should be the daughter of a married daughter of an old Liu family.

Speaking of which, this name is very characteristic. The first impression is that Shangguan is to Zhuge, Yu is to Liang, and Xingming is to Kongming.Then he took a closer look at this guy, and he must have better self-cultivation than Liu Ge, but overall he looked like a warrior rather than a scribe.Carrying a two-stone bow on his back, it can be seen that his archery skills should be good.

"It's a pleasure to meet you!" After a little thought, Liu Tao still stepped forward to salute.

"To each other...Yu originally went back to her natal family with her mother to visit relatives, and happened to meet her cousin who came to recruit people and heard about the militia. I liked to dance knives and guns since I was a child, but my family only wanted me to study hard. Now There just happened to be an opportunity in front of me, so naturally I couldn't miss it." Shangguan Yu returned the gift, and then explained the reason for his coming.

It turned out that he was also a member of the family who came to serve as a soldier... After listening to his words, Liu Tao probably understood the key points.

"Anyway..." Liu Yuanqi spoke up, "People brought them here for you. You look at the arrangement, and if it's suitable, you can stay. If it's not suitable, it's all relatives, so help send it back. After all, Zhuo County is so big. It’s not easy going.”

The last sentence is definitely for them, Liu Tao promises.Not just finished, one or two is like a chicken blood.

"Then you..." Liu Tao still asked.

"Me? I have feet, just go back by myself..." Liu Yuanqi turned around after speaking, and was about to leave.After walking about two steps, he stood still, and without replying, he just said, "Be careful..."

After saying this, he really walked straight away, without any intention of stopping at all, and even accelerated his pace a lot.Looking at his back, Liu Tao suddenly felt that this father is actually quite cute.

"Follow me into the barracks first... that's right!" Liu Tao was about to bring them into the barracks when he realized something. Unless you can become a commander, your opinions will be ignored directly, and obedience will become your only criterion... But before that, you still have a choice, and that is whether you want to step into this barracks!"

"I dare not tell others..." Liu Ge took a step forward and walked into the barracks, "I will be the commander!"

"I'm not necessarily worse than you..." Shangguan Yu immediately took a step forward and entered the barracks.

"..." The other 50 people looked at each other, and then walked in one after another, and no one flinched.

"I hope you are not acting on your will." Liu Tao nodded, and led them to the school grounds, and shouted at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei from a distance, "Yun Chang, Yi De! Just a moment, come here!"

Hearing this, the two first turned their heads and saw the people around Liu Tao stunned, then came over.

"Brother!" The two stepped forward, "These are..."

"These are members of the Liu clan in Zhuo County. Of course, they also have a cousin. This time they came here to serve as my own soldiers. I will be responsible for their training. At the same time, I plan to decentralize the spearmen and archers as well." Liu Tao Said slowly.

"I see." The two nodded. As members of the tribe, these people are naturally the most trusted by Liu Tao. It is not surprising that they are entrusted with important tasks, but they are somewhat uncomfortable.
