Jian Shuo dismissed everyone with just two words.
When almost everyone had left, he suddenly realized that some people were still there.
At first glance, it turned out to be the deputy general Fengyun.
"General Feng, aren't you leaving yet?"
Fengyun was waiting for this opportunity, and stepped forward and whispered:
"Commander, let's find a quiet place to talk."
Jian Shuo didn't know what Feng Yun was going to say. Since he made such a request, it was obviously something that could not be made public.
He nodded understandingly and immediately stepped forward to lead the way.
Until we reached a deserted corner.
After looking around, Jian Shuo finally looked at Feng Yun:
"I wonder what General Feng wants to talk to me about?"
This kind of eunuch is not an old fox like Zhang Rang. What he can't accept the most is that others look down on him.
Fengyun flattered him first.
"Congratulations, General Jian, for becoming the leader of our eight colonels today."
"No, no, General Feng, you're too polite. You know my level. I don't have the ability to be a commander. I hope General Feng will support me."
Fengyun didn't expect that Jian Shuo was self-aware.
He quickly raised his hands and clasped his fists and said:
"That's right, since General Jian has already said so, I won't be polite. Do you need help training your troops?"
Jian Shuo's eyes lit up now. How could he train soldiers?
This is a pillow given to you just when you want to go to sleep.
"General Feng, are you going to help me train my troops?"
"As long as the general is willing, I have no problem with that."
Fengyun looked at him happily. He was happy to help with this small favor.
But this guy was still not satisfied and said:
"General Feng, you see, I was originally just a eunuch, and I don't have much savings. Now that His Majesty has stopped even giving me military funds, I really can't come up with any. I don't know..."
Well, this guy is quite direct.
You don’t have to export it yourself.
Fengyun smiled even more brightly.
"Don't worry, I'll cover this money."
Seeing Fengyun being so generous, Jian Shuo thought he had heard it wrong.
However, seeing the other party's sincerity, he was so moved that he almost cried.
Now I can finally report to His Majesty.
Jian Shuo immediately took out his military commander's token and handed it to Feng Yun.
Seeing Feng Yun was about to leave immediately, Jian Shuo called him back.
"Wait, General Feng, go to the Imperial Guards and select the soldiers yourself."
You must know that the Imperial Guards are the most elite force of the Han Dynasty.
He was the face of the royal family in the past.
But now the court's salaries are difficult to pay on time, which has caused the morale of the imperial guards to drop, and they have all started to do side jobs.
It can be seen from the sparse guards on the city gate that the defense of Luoyang is now somewhat useless.
This made Liu Hong think about building another army.
Fengyun was very happy, because he knew it.
The Imperial Guards are the elite of the Han Dynasty. Although they were not seen during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, they are the benchmark of the Han Dynasty.
Liu Bang spent a lot of effort to build this elite force.
Although the military equipment is now slack, the foundation is still there.
Fengyun asked uncertainly:
"Are we really going to select people from the Royal Guards?"
Jian Shuo saw that Feng Yun looked down on him, so he patted his chest and said:
"Yes, I will make sure that General Feng can select a satisfactory sergeant. Come with me."
Jian Shuo brought Feng Yun directly to the check-in point of the Imperial Guards.
As soon as he came in, he had a bad face and scolded a military advisor on duty:
"Hurry up and gather everyone. The Eight Captains of Xiyuan, appointed by His Majesty, are coming here to select candidates."
But the other party was hesitant.
"Father-in-law, they...they..."
"What happened to them? Tell me quickly."
Jian Shuo grabbed the soldier's collar and said viciously.
"Father-in-law, there are not many people in the camp. They are all out making money."
This really pissed Jianshuo off, he put his hands on his hips and cursed:
"How shameless! Instead of staying in the army, you're out there doing nothing. What are you imperial guards doing for a living?"
After being scolded, the sergeant said aggrievedly:
"Father-in-law, they don't even have money for food now. If they don't leave now, they will starve to death."
It would have been better if he hadn't said anything. Once he did, he got scolded even more miserably.
"What are you talking about? Are you saying that His Majesty didn't give you any money? Would His Majesty be short of this little money from you?"
"Yes, father-in-law. It's been a long time since I gave you money."
Seeing Jian Shuo about to explode again, Feng Yun quickly interrupted:
"Okay, stop explaining. What did they do?"
Only then did Jian Shuo stop scolding.
I only heard the sergeant say:
"Some of them are acting as boosters for adventurers, some are out hunting for treasures, and some are acting as bodyguards. There are even some who...they..."
The soldier couldn't continue speaking, but Fengyun asked him to continue.
"It's okay, just say it."
"They acted as robbers, robbing merchants along the way."
"This is outrageous. How can this be tolerated?"
Jian Shuo was about to be pissed off to death by these people, but Feng Yun waved his hand and said with a smile:
"That's fine. Go get the ten thousand strongest soldiers in the army to come back. Tell them someone has given them long-term meal tickets, and their salaries are twice as much as the imperial court's."
"Ah?" The soldier looked at Fengyun in disbelief.
"Really? General?" Seeing Feng Yun's confident look, the soldiers were obviously in turmoil.
