Wei and Jin cooks

Although Zhao Hanzhang said nothing, the relationship between her and Liu Kun cooled down rapidly, and their honeymoon period ended just as it had begun.

Although Zhao Hanzhang still smiled when facing Liu Kun, she acted much more forcefully. After Liu Kun sent the letter and made an appointment with Tuoba Yilu, she immediately started recruiting troops.

What Zhao Hanzhang and Liu Kun didn't expect was that the recruitment announcement had just been posted, and before they had time to beat gongs and drums to announce it to the world, young men from Jinyang rushed to the military camp to apply.

Not only men, but also women between the ages of sixteen and thirty came here in large numbers, all wanting to serve as soldiers.

Zhao Hanzhang picked up two children from the team and put them in front of the wheel to gesture. One was only taller than the wheel, and the other was only one finger short of the wheel.

She reached out and wiped the dirty face of the shortest child again, and was speechless for a while, "You are still young, at least you have to be as tall as my ears to join the army."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

The two children immediately stretched out their hands to grab the corners of her clothes and begged eagerly: "Please accept us, please accept us. Although we are young, we are good at fighting and can already hold a knife."

The eldest child was afraid that Zhao Hanzhang would not believe him, so he wanted to reach out and grab the guard's knife.

The guard's eyes were sharp, his hand pressed on the handle of the knife without moving.

Zhao Hanzhang waved his hand at him and smiled with the child: "This is not a matter of strength. It is because you are too young. If you want to serve the country, you will be older in a few years."

The child said without thinking: "I don't want to serve the country, I just want to follow the envoy. I want to repay, and I also want to repay the envoy."

He raised his head and looked at Zhao Hanzhang eagerly, and said: "Your Majesty, please accept me. I want to live, and my brother also wants to live."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Hanzhang lowered his head to look at the short child again. She also looked at her with round eyes, full of expectation.

Zhao Hanzhang asked: "Didn't Governor Liu set up an asylum to take you in?"

The two children lowered their eyes and said nothing at the same time. The older child took a step back and pulled the younger child to leave, but he was not willing to leave just like that.

When Zhao Hanzhang saw it, his heart softened, and he turned around and said, "Come with me."

When the two children heard this, their eyes lit up and they immediately followed.

The guards did not stop them anymore, but they were not allowed to get too close to Zhao Hanzhang.

Zhao Hanzhang led them into the military camp and said to the female soldier Zhao Jiaya who followed him: "Take them down to freshen up and find them two sets of clothes."

Zhao Hanzhang pointed to the shorter child and said, "Find her girl's clothes."

As soon as the two children heard this, they knew that their disguise had been seen through. They lowered their heads in embarrassment and followed the female soldier to wash up and change clothes.

Zhao Jiaya is a 16-year-old girl. She was rescued by Zhao Hanzhang four years ago. At that time, she entered the Yushan Hall and Academy, studied and practiced martial arts, and was finally selected for special training.

She only joined the army as Zhao Hanzhang's personal guard when she turned sixteen this year. Her current surname and first name were both given after she was rescued.

She is very familiar with the state of her two children. Wasn't she the same situation four years ago?

She turned around and asked the two of them, "How old are you?"

The boy said: "I am eleven years old, my brother and my sister are nine."

Zhao Jiaya found a set of clothes for each of them and said, "When you return to Luoyang, you can go to school."

The little boy felt uneasy and asked, "Are we going to leave the envoy and fend for ourselves?"

"Don't worry, children in Yushan Hall, unless people in the army starve to death, Yushan Hall will not run out of food. You are still young and can't do much with the envoy. You must first learn your skills and learn them well. I will repay the envoy later."

Zhao Jiaya said: "I am a child who came out of Yushan Hall. I was the same age as you when I first entered. In four years, I will be able to serve the envoy."

The little boy's eyes lit up and he asked, "Do you have any money?"

"Of course, I call this military pay! It's a shilling a month."

The two children were amazed again and again, and the little girl who had been silent couldn't help but ask, "Will my brother and I be separated?"

"If you don't want to be separated, you won't be separated," Zhao Jiaya said: "But when you arrive at Yushantang, the places where you sleep at night must be separated. Boys live with boys, and girls live with girls. They are not allowed to cross."

“We mostly go to class together during the day, eat in the same place, and work in the same place.”

The little boy asked anxiously: "What work do you want to do? Farm the land? Dig canals and build city walls?"

"Farm the land," Zhao Jiaya said speechlessly: "How old are you, how can you be used to dig canals and build city walls?"

"With your stature, you can do light work such as transplanting rice seedlings, sowing seeds, pulling weeds or harvesting. The heavy work will be done by adults. If you are talented, you can also learn things like carpentry and weaving. If you can learn it, then It will be easier when assigning jobs." She said: "I just don't have the talent. In the end, I was the best at swordsmanship, so I was selected to train and serve as a soldier in the army."

Both children gasped and looked at her in amazement.

Zhao Jiaya raised her chin proudly. Seeing that they had lowered their guard slightly, she asked casually: "What can you do? I may not be able to discover your talents. I will introduce you to a few teachers in advance, from Yushan Hall and the school." I know everyone well, and several of my classmates are helping out in the school and studying at the same time, just to teach people like you who are new to the school and don't know anything how to read."

The boy immediately said: "I am strong and can fight. I think I can also be a personal guard."

As for the personal guards, they are the confidants around the governor. They may even become generals in the future.

The little girl also looked at Zhao Jiaya with bright eyes, wanting to be like her.

Zhao Jiaya smiled and asked, "Did you often fight before?"

Half an hour later, Zhao Jiaya went to see Zhao Hanzhang and reported to her: "They are a family of eight who moved here. They heard about Liu's reputation as governor. The land at home was encircled by the Huns for pasture, so the whole family came to join them." ."

"But in just three years, their grandfather, father and brother all died in the battle to defend the city. This time the Huns besieged the city again. One of their mothers died of starvation, and the other died because of fighting with others for food when they went out to beg. "Death," Zhao Jiaya paused and then said, "They are cousins. There are traffickers in the city who specifically target girls under the age of fourteen in the city, and select the beautiful ones to take away and traffick to other places."

"The price is no more than five pecks of rice, and the price is low, and the person is gone with just two buns. However, theft of girls occurs frequently in the city, and the Yamen has no effective measures to stop it."

Zhao Hanzhang tightened his face and asked, "Does Jinyang Ling live for a living?"

Zhao Jiaya didn't say anything. Only then did Zhao Hanzhang remember that Jinyang Ling was really working hard and was still being held in her military camp.

Zhao Hanzhang asked: "Is Xu Run's illness cured?"

"The fever has subsided."

"Then send him away early tomorrow morning, directly back to Luoyang, and let people keep an eye on him. As long as he does not leave Luoyang and follows the law, if he dares to escape privately, he will be killed without mercy; if he commits a crime, he will be dealt with according to the law. !”

"yes."

I'm too sleepy today, so there's only one update. I'm going to sleep.
