Chapter 334 Under Yue Fei (please subscribe!)
...

After listening to Zhang Xian's self-introduction, Li Yan asked calmly, "Have you ever learned the art of war?"

Zhang Xian replied respectfully: "I have learned."

Li Yandao: "Hey, you stay in the first army to serve as the commander of the first infantry battalion, and I will promote you according to your performance in the future."

In fact, Li Yan originally made up his mind to suppress the newly recruited generals, especially those with the ability to command the army, and put all the outstanding generals around him to slowly cultivate their influence, so as not to spoil the seedlings.

Just like Niu Gao.

You know, Niu Gao is a real general with both wisdom and courage.In the fourth year of Shaoxing, when the Yue family army attacked the six prefectures of Jingxiang and Puppet Qi in the north, Zhang Xian and Xu Qing, another fierce general of the Yue family army, led troops to attack Suizhou.After Yue Fei got the report, he sent Niu Gao to support him. Before he left, Niu Gao only brought three days' food and grass, but before the food was exhausted, he captured Suizhou, captured [-] enemies, and captured Wang Song alive.It can be seen that he is good at fighting.

But for Niu Gao, Li Yan pressed desperately, not letting him stand out for the time being.

As for Zhang Xian, Li Yan finally let go and let him lead 500 people from the start.

Why?

Just because I like it so much, Zhang Xian's personality, Zhang Xian's bravery, and Zhang Xian's loyalty are all Li Yan's favorite.

Therefore, Li Yan was afraid of pressing too hard, so he pushed Zhang Xian away.

Therefore, Li Yan couldn't help but loosen his hand and gave Zhang Xian a command.

Zhang Xian was overjoyed when he heard that Li Yan appointed him as the commander, and he was still the commander of the First Army, and said, "Thank you for the cultivation, Commander-in-Chief!"

A strong general is different from a commanding general.

A fierce general can fight.

However, the commanding general has to be cultivated bit by bit.

Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Liu Qi, Wu Jie, including Niu Gao and Zhang Xian, the reason why they can become commanders who command tens of thousands or even 10,000+ soldiers is not born, but acquired one by one.

Li Yan knew this very well, so he couldn't help telling him: "Jing Ren, our Liangshan Army has a lecture hall and a battle case analysis hall. I hope you can learn more, after all, you are still young and you have a long way to go."

Zhang Xian was very smart, and understood Li Yan's intention to train him, so he bowed to the ground and said: "The young general must learn as much as possible."

Li Yan nodded, and said: "Go to Yu Cheng later, he will arrange for a commander."

Zhang Xian said: "Thank you, Commander!" After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Xian said again: "Governor, the young general still has a friend..."

Li Yan smiled and said, "Call me over to have a look."

After Zhang Xianyan said it, he hurriedly bowed again: "Yes!"

Not long after, Zhang Xian led a person and said, "Governor, this is my good friend Wang Jing. He has practiced literature and martial arts since he was a child, and he is proficient in six arts. He also wants to serve as the governor."

Wang Jing was in charge of the rear of the Yue Family Army.Yue Fei fought against Cao Cheng at Moxie Pass, Han Shunfu, the fifth general of the Yue Family Army, and Cao Cheng's general Yang Zaixing failed in the battle. Just as Wang Jing led his troops to transport food here, he joined forces with Zhang Xian, the former commander of the army, defeated Cao Cheng's army, and captured Yang Zaixing alive.

"Being able to lead an army alone like Zhang Xian is enough to show that Wang Jing's talent should not be bad."

Thinking of this, Li Yan said: "I'll give you two choices. The first choice is to become a team leader under Jing Ren's team. The second choice is to compete with any one of the four of them once. If you win, you can compete with Jing Ren." Ren also leads a battalion in the First Army."

Wang Jing didn't think much about it, and said: "The villain listens to the big governor, and the big governor asks the villain to compare, and the villain compares. The big governor makes the villain the team leader, and the villain becomes the team leader."

Li Yan thought: "This is either an obedient person, or a flatterer... Yue Fei's political acumen is not good, but he can actually know people, so the possibility of him being the former should be greater."

Li Yan rushed to Suo Chao, who was standing in front of the horse battle sign among the four Jiao Ting, and said, "Compare with him."

Under Zhou Jin's persuasion, Suo Chao finally voted for Li Yan.

Considering that Ma Yijun currently lacks a deputy commander, Li Yan asked Suo Chao to join Ma Yijun as Lin Chong's deputy.

And Ma Yijun has always been acting with Li Yan, which is equivalent to half of Li Yan's relatives, and this time is no exception and also came to protect Li Yan.

Li Yan knew about Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in Tangyin County, so he asked Suo Chao, who was almost healed from his injuries, to assess Ma Zhan.

Suo Chao said: "Great, I can finally exercise my muscles."

Suo Chao and Wang Jing put on their respective outfits and then put on their horses.

The ax came and went, and the two fought for fifty rounds, regardless of the outcome.

Li Yan was afraid of hurting the two of them, and Suo Chao hadn't been fit to fight fiercely, so Li Yan stopped Suo Chao and Wang Jing, and then let Wang Jing also lead a battalion of infantry.

Recruiting continues.

Because Zhang Xian and Wang Jing had taken command of Li Yan's First Pro-Army Army as soon as they arrived, more people signed up.

However, people as high as Zhang Xian and Wang Jing's martial arts have never appeared again.

However, Li Yan was not in a hurry, and still sat firmly on the Diaoyutai.

Li Yan believes that Yue Fei, who has a vengeful heart, will definitely come, definitely!
……

At noon eight days later.

Seven young men came to the recruiting point.

The leader has a dignified body and a resolute face. The fly in the ointment is that one eye is small and the other eye is small.

When these seven young people came, they were just in time to recruit for dinner.

A young man said: "It's not the right time, let's find a place to eat."

Another young man said: "Why don't you go to see senior brother, maybe he can treat us to a restaurant for a good meal."

The young man with big eyes and small eyes said: "Nonsense, if the governor knows that I am looking for the senior brother before the assessment, it may misunderstand that I am looking for the senior brother to clear up the relationship."

A young man with a very stable appearance said: "Brother's words are very true, and there is no rush to see the senior brother. It will not be too late to see the senior brother after we finish the assessment."

A boy who was the youngest, only thirteen or fourteen years old, said: "I'd better listen to brother Zhang Xian and eat something first, so as not to have the strength to respond for a while."

Zhang Xian said: "Erlang also wants to be recruited?"

The boy named Erlang said: "The recruiting document of the governor clearly stated that it is only necessary to be over 13 years old. Why can't I participate?"

The reason why Li Yan lowered his age to 13 was actually for the generals of the Yue family army. You must know that some generals of the Yue family army are only [-] or [-] years old now, and Yue Fei is only [-] or [-] years old now.

At this moment, a rough man came to the seven of them and said, "Are you here to recruit?"

The young man with big and small eyes cupped his hands and said, "That's right, I don't know what advice does Eldest Brother have?"

The rough man said: "The governor has an order that anyone who comes to apply for recruitment will be in charge of food. Since you are here to apply for recruitment, come and eat together."

The young man with big and small eyes declined and said, "Thank you, brother, we are going to eat outside..."

The rough man said: "If you really want to go out to eat, I won't stop you, but if it's because of embarrassment, then you don't have to. Those who squat over there to eat cakes and drink broth are all recruited, while those over there The row of sheds is the relief point set up by the governor, that is to say, anyone can eat here, of course, the food for recruits is better."

The young man with big eyes and small eyes had actually seen these two groups long ago, especially the group of civilians who were queuing in front of dozens of sheds in the distance to receive porridge and wait in line for medical treatment, but he did not expect that this was set up by Li Yan.

The young man with big eyes and small eyes said: "I'm going to Yue Fei, they are all my brothers, I wonder if the elder brother can tell us in detail, what's going on with the shed over there?"
