In this era, the so-called Yazhang was actually a close guard under the direct command of the general, similar to a member of the guard company that protected Li Yunlong in Liangjian, and was considered a close confidant of the general.

Fang Linyan nodded and said:

"I respectfully respect the general's military orders and thank you for your extraordinary promotion!"

Goat also promptly added:

"When the general gives the order, we will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Xia Houyi nodded and said:

"You're quite nice to talk to. No wonder Liu Xia asks me to take care of you, but you can't talk about being promoted out of the ordinary, and I don't have the courage."

"You presented the topographic map of Jiangxia to Liu Xia, right? Without this reason, and besides your previous bravery in battle, I can't bring you to this position."

After Xia Houyi said this, Fang Linyan suddenly realized and understood the reason.

It turns out that Lieutenant Liu's name was Liu Xia, and when he handed over the topographic map of Jiangxia, he followed the path of the second-generation officials in Xiahou's family!

Needless to say, after some rumors about the Pearl of Friendship leaked out later, the importance of myself in Liu Xiaowei's heart skyrocketed, so he found a relationship with Xia Houyi again, and letting him go would only "make miracles happen with great force"

"Coming under the command of Tian Junhou and coming under Xia Houyi, the second-generation official, there is no doubt that the safety factor has skyrocketed.

At this time, an arrogant guy like Xia Houyi didn't say much - he just stood up and prepared to get out of the way.

Fang Linyan and Goat were able to chat with him for a few words, probably because of their legendary +1 status. Otherwise, people like Crespo, Vulture, Max, etc. would have been simply ignored.

And at this moment, a man with a big face, thick eyebrows and big eyes suddenly appeared from the side. He fell down directly in front of Xia Houyi and said in a tearful voice:

"General, it's great to see you again!"

As soon as this guy appeared, the goat immediately started complaining among the group:

"Here, this guy's flattery skills are quite impressive. Listen to his sincere words, and he even has a vibrato. He really is the embryo of a movie star!"

Fang Linyan always felt that this guy looked familiar. After a few glances, he suddenly remembered that this guy was the Necromancer who had just entered!

It's just that when Fang Linyan fought with him, this guy was sneaky and very careful to keep a distance from Fang Linyan.

And probably due to his own equipment, the Necromancer at that time still wore a hood, which was completely different from his current dress (probably because he wanted to conform to Xia Houyi's aesthetics), so Fang Linyan didn't recognize him until now.

Surprisingly, after Xia Houyi, who had always been a bit over the top, glanced at the necromancer for a few times, he actually frowned and said:

"Are you? The guy called Black Bone? Your father touched the gold captain?"

"Yes, yes, I didn't expect that the adults could still remember a mere name!"

Necromancer Black Bone said in fear.

Then the two people started talking. From the content of their conversation, they knew the reason why they met.

It turns out that a special event was triggered before: when rescuing Xia Houyi, Hei Gu and his teammates thought this was a great opportunity, so they went all out.

The result is just as Fang Linyan analyzed, the cost-effectiveness of this special event is very low! Because the chance of a second-generation official like Xia Houyi failing from the beginning is very small, and there are still problems with his character, so the investment of Heigu and his teammates is

It was watered down.

In the end, he gained very little military exploits and little reputation, but the only gain was that his relationship with Xia Houyi changed from indifferent to friendly.

This was a bad start, and there must have been complaints within the team.

Then Hei Gu and his team had another problem within their team. After they produced a piece of dark gold equipment, the captain's prestige declined, causing a lot of discord between people and hearts.

Under such circumstances, his team was transferred by Tian Junhou to select forwards and serve as a death squad, which was just adding insult to injury!

There is a saying that when times are poor, it is time to see justice!

Because on the battlefield, it was the time when teammates supported, trusted, and relied on each other. As a result, their team was in disarray, and two people died immediately.

In order to survive, the remaining people also used a lot of trump cards one after another. It can be said that their vitality was seriously damaged. This golden main line world almost used their trump cards as soon as it started. Many people didn't even complete the first phase of the mission, so what else?

A bird?

Therefore, it is not surprising that Hei Gu is thinking of pursuing a solo career.

Therefore, when he saw Xia Houyi, he immediately made plans to try his luck with him relying on his familiarity.

As a result, his fortune turned out to be good. Xia Houyi also lost dozens of men in his previous battle with Jian Yong.

And he was a second-generation official, and he had received reliable inside information: Although the vanguard's five thousand cavalry had a "small setback", it aroused the unrealistic ambitions of Liu Bei and others. They actually wanted to pick up the remaining troops and regroup, trying to

The Changban area relied on the terrain to snipe Cao's army.

In this case, as long as it is delayed until dark and Liu Bei cooperates with Guan Yu's troops who are rushing in, 80% or more of the baggage and young men can be sent to Jiangling.

But what Liu Bei didn't know was that Cao Cao's main army was speeding up. What he had to face was not the vanguard of Cao Cao's army, but the main force of Cao Cao's army that had an absolute advantage in strength! So being defeated was almost certain.

In the pursuit battle after the defeat, there is no doubt that the one with more men will have an advantage and can grab more loot.

With this mentality, Xia Houyi simply let Heigu follow him to make up for the shortcomings from the previous battle.

Xia Houyi was headstrong on the battlefield, but he was also a master of calculating accounts in business.

In his eyes, Heigu can be regarded as a veteran, quite loyal to him, and he was willing to run to save himself when he was besieged before. Such a person is also quite comfortable to use, and it is better than those recruits recruited temporarily.

Danziqiang, those people are just common people.

Besides, one more person might be able to grab hundreds of thousands more wealth. Xia Houyi felt that the more the merrier in this kind of thing with no cost and huge benefits.

***

Soon, Fang Linyan and others were officially brought under Xia Houyi's command, and then they officially set off to part ways with Tian Junhou and his group.

Obviously, it would be much better to follow a tall, handsome and rich man like Xia Houyi than to follow a big boss like Tian Junhou who only knows that "big force can produce miracles".

Of course, Xia Houyi is not a good bird who loves soldiers as much as his sons, but he has a noble status.

To put it bluntly, if Xia Houyi and Tian Junhou are in danger at the same time, it goes without saying that the surrounding Cao army will definitely come to their aid with all their strength.

Youdao is not worried about the inequality of poverty. Seeing Fang Linyan and the others climbing high branches, and Hei Gu successfully changing jobs, the rest of the people also wanted to come and build relationships. Unfortunately, Xia Houyi all refused.

This kid still knew his priorities. The Tian Er fool in front of him had already lost his army and suffered heavy casualties. It was already unreasonable for him to poach Fang Linyan and others and Heigu.

If he picks up his hoe again and digs out his veterans, then Tian Er suddenly turns against him, wouldn't it make everyone look bad?

Of course, the order entrusted to Xia Houyi by the superiors at this time cannot be a hard-core mission such as attacking a fortress, a vanguard, or the like!

Even if Xia Houyi took the initiative to ask for help, his superiors would not let him follow him. Instead, they would give him a very thought-provoking task:

Guard the Chinese army camp......

This task sounds pretty important, and it is most of the time.

But the problem is that Cao Cao himself is still dozens of miles away, hurrying towards this direction. At this time, in addition to the prepared civilians, there is only some food and baggage in the Chinese army camp, which has Mao's defensive value.

ah.

Not to mention that Liu Bei is now frantically shrinking his troops and trying to regain his strength. He is panicking, fearing that Cao Jun will attack and hoping to get more time to prepare for war. How can he still have the strength to attack this superficial Chinese army camp?

?

Therefore, in fact, this is a task with a lot of freedom. I almost didn't tell Xia Houyi directly that you can go raid and loot the nearby areas. Those unsighted and unscrupulous people didn't even come to greet Master Wang. They must be

Liu Beijun's spy!

Especially those whose families have money, those who have mines in the mountains, and those who have fields in the fields, as long as there is oil and water, they will all be squeezed out.

Fang Linyan and others were not sent out to do these chores. They were exhausted from the previous battle with Jian Yong, so they took the opportunity to recuperate now.

And they also discovered that there were actually seven or eight other contractors in Xia Houyi's camp, and they didn't know how they got in touch with Xia Houyi.

At this time, there are still a lot of manpower in the Chinese army camp, such as handymen, chefs, etc. After all, although Liu Bei brought 100,000 people away, the majority of them still refused to leave.

of.

What's more, the original lord of Jingzhou, Liu Biao's son Liu Cong, also directly surrendered to Cao Cao, so Cao Jun can now legitimately settle in Jingzhou, which is much more comfortable than Liu Bei.

Fang Linyan and others entered a camp directly, and a cook got up and greeted them enthusiastically. He asked the military masters what happened. The goat directly threw a bunch of money to him, saying that he and the others were tired and hungry, so he asked

He got some hot drinks for the two mouthfuls.

The guy immediately went to get a steaming pot and brought it up with great enthusiasm.

You can see that the pot is covered with a layer of snow-white cake slices with a brown outer skin, and underneath are meatballs, solitary vegetables, seasonal vegetables, and bamboo shoots. The smell is fragrant.

After everyone ate it, they found that the cake slices were delicate and plump, melting in the mouth, the meatballs were chewy and elastic, and the soup base was extremely delicious. After asking, they realized that this stuff was famous.

Jingzhou fish cake.

This fish cake is made by removing the bones from the fish and then mincing it into minced meat, then mixing the fat, tofu, and egg white to make a cake, and then cutting it into slices. The meatballs are made of fish and yam, and deep-fried.

The meatballs and vegetables are placed on the bottom, the fish cake is placed on top, and finally the tripe slices and kidney slices are fried and topped.

Although it was just one dish, it was steaming hot with more than a dozen kinds of ingredients, and it was quite rich! Everyone was full of praise for the meal.

However, when they were halfway through eating, the goat suddenly froze, and then said:

"The necromancer Black Bones chatted with me privately and said he wanted to cooperate with us."

Max was the first to say disdainfully:

"Cooperation? Just because he looks like a lost dog now??"

Goat said:
To be continued...
