Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 397
Xia Houbo tapped the target lightly with his toe, it landed lightly on the ground, and put the saber back into its sheath.

"Whoa!"

The arrow target suddenly collapsed and fell to the ground in pieces.

Everyone was shocked, but Feng Yao's eyes lit up, and he said in his heart: "If you cut these logs, there is nothing strange, but to achieve such an effect, you must have extremely high martial arts skills. At the same time, the knife you use It can never be an ordinary knife!!"

Feng Yao suddenly remembered that when Xiahou Bo drew his saber just now, a cold light flashed on the saber, he was only focused on Xiahou Bo's light work and martial arts at that time, and did not look at the saber carefully, "Xiahoubo's saber must be a famous treasured saber!! ..."

In the school grounds, the Huwei, Xiongwei, five hundred cavalry archers and generals who came back to their senses burst into applause.

Xia Houbo came in front of Feng Yao, knelt down and cupped his fists and said, "My lord!!, I have basically demonstrated what my subordinates have learned!"

Feng Yao hurriedly helped Xiahoubo up, and he looked closer to Xiahoubo than before, and asked with a smile: "Zihu, would you like to lead the army to fight outside, or would you like to lead the army and follow me, the guards?" Am I safe?"

"My lord, what my subordinates have learned is not the ability to fight among thousands of troops. I am willing to follow my lord! And it is not just my subordinate who has this desire. Among the clansmen who came from Changshan together this time, There are dozens of chivalrous men who have been following his subordinates all year round, each with different skills, and hope to become the entourage of the lord, so that he can protect the lord from danger, and live together with his family conveniently!" Xia Houbo did not hesitate He hesitated and answered immediately.

Feng Yao also has this intention, and also hopes that Xia Houbo can stay as his personal entourage, and he has a little selfishness, Feng Yao is not easy to say for the time being, thinking about it, it is better to wait for Xia Houbo's character to be fully determined in the future. not too late.

Xia Houbo had just finished speaking, and Feng Yao hadn't opened his mouth yet. Zhao Yun stepped forward, clasped his fists and said: "Please don't worry, my lord, those clansmen and knights who follow us have been going through life and death with their subordinates all year round, and fighting bandits together is all right. A person who entrusts life and death, Yun is willing to guarantee it with his life!"

"Hehe, that's great, Zihu, I will now appoint you as the commander of the fourth team! You can choose your clansmen and friends as your subordinates, and I will choose from the army to make up for the shortage. A full arrangement!" Feng Yao said happily.

Hearing this, Xia Houbo was so excited that he knelt down again, bowed to Feng Yao, and said: "Thank you for your kindness, my lord. Bo can gain my lord's trust, and I can't repay you. From now on, this life belongs to my lord, even if it's my lord's life." If you want Bo to die, Bo will never frown! I, Xiahou Bo, hereby swear, if there is any violation, please be punished by heaven and man, my whole family will perish, and even if we go to hell, we will never be reborn! ………”

Feng Yao immediately helped Xia Houbo away, stopped him from swearing again, and sighed: "Zihu, I can use you as a follower, how can I not trust you, don't make such a poisonous oath again, as long as you Such loyalty is better than any oath!!"

Xia Houbo's poisonous oath made all Feng Yao's relatives look sideways. Although they had sworn to Feng Yao, at most they only swore with the lives of the whole family, but Xia Houbo dared to swear the poisonous oath with the whole family !Xiahoubo's amazing skills just now won the admiration of all his followers, and now they have a great affection for Xiahoubo!
Apart from Yang Wu, Feng Yao's subordinates are at the same level as Xiahoubo. They are Xu Ding, Fan Neng, and Han Shuang. Fan Neng has been very familiar with Xiahoubo along the way. , Naturally very happy, Xu Ding and Han Shuang both showed strange lights in their eyes, and looked at Xia Houbo, with a heart of acceptance.

Feng Yao looked around the crowd, his eyes touched Xiahoulan, and his heart moved, "Xiahoulan's name is Ziyong, while mine is Zimou, Zhao Yun's name is Zilong, Xiahoubo's name is Zihu, why do I feel like God is above me?" Seems like it has been arranged? Strategy, bravery, dragon, tiger... In this case, it is better to simply designate Xia Houlan as a general of the Chinese army. His martial arts is not as good as other generals, and his resourcefulness is not good, but he has a brave heart. Now that the army is large, I can't supervise it alone, and there is still a lack of a person who manages military discipline! Perhaps someone with Xia Houlan's personality dares not to be afraid of the official positions and backgrounds of the generals, and severely punish all soldiers who violate military discipline!"

With a certain idea, Feng Yao smiled, looked at Xia Houlan, nodded, and ordered: "Zi Yong stepped forward to listen to the seal!"

Xia Houlan was overjoyed, stepped forward hurriedly, knelt in front of Feng Yao, clasped her fists and said, "Meet my lord!"

"Ziyong, you have come a long way, and you have accomplished my mission so well. You have added Zilong and Zihu to our army. You have made great contributions. I have already promoted you to a general at the level of a school lieutenant. No post, now I appoint you as the officer of our army, to supervise all violations of discipline in the army, regardless of the other party's official position, you have the right to intervene!" Feng Yao said.

Although the post of Junzheng is a formal official post, it is not permanent. The reason is that when the princes are not strong enough to set up this official post, it is to divide their own power, which is not conducive to commanding the army. When a certain scale is reached, this official position is very necessary.

Now that Feng Yao has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, he no longer has this concern. What he has to do is to manage these generals who are gaining power. Compared with generals such as Gan Ning and Wei Yan, if Feng Yao directly punishes them for violating military discipline, It is inevitable that the second general will think that he does not miss the old love, and if the army is punished, then everyone will be equal in front of the army, and there will be no distinction between familiarity and familiarity, and the second general will have nothing to say.

Even if one day, a cronie like Xu Chu violated military discipline and was questioned by the army, Feng Yao could intercede and exonerate him from the crime. Even the lord's cronies will be punished if they violate discipline, let alone me?"

Xia Houlan was a surrendered general, and was dispatched as soon as she surrendered. She was almost unfamiliar with Feng Yao's generals, and because she had no human concerns, she was indeed the most suitable candidate.

"Thank you, my lord, for your kindness. Lan will strictly enforce the military law, but if anyone dares to violate it, if there is no lord's forgiveness, I will never forgive you!!" Xia Houlan sternly shouted.

When the generals heard it, they looked at Xia Houlan's frosty face and cold eyes, and couldn't help but tense up, and began to care about their words and deeds.

Some generals, seeing Feng Yao setting up the army, nodded excitedly, not only did not worry at all, but looked forward to the future even more!

General Zhou Cang and Chen Daoer saw that Feng Yao had finished his work, they nodded at each other, they both stepped forward and said: "My lord, in this battle of Yingchuan, we have obtained a lot of money and servants, and returned If we don’t have time to deliver them in the future, why not take advantage of all the generals here, and reward these slaves of money and wealth one by one according to their military merits! It also saves a lot of trouble!"

Hearing this, Feng Yao's eyes lighted up, and he had a flash of inspiration. He immediately remembered what the two brothers had said when they made fun of him in the morning, and thought to himself: "How dare you laugh at the elder brother for recruiting a large number of beauties in every battle? Good!! This time the elder brother will not take the blame again, The female slave you two brought from Yingchuan, you two will solve it by yourself!! I see if you dare to share the difficulties with big brother..."
