Chapter 22 Kou Feng’s “Happy Event”

From the moment Zhang Fei called Zhang Xi "Army Sima", it was no longer just a casual chat about old times, but a serious official business.

Zhang Fei led Zhang Xi out of the tent and beat drums to gather the generals. In a short time, all 800 people under Zhang Fei's command had arrived.

The distribution of military strength in Liu Bei's army is actually very simple, because Liu Bei only has a few generals who can lead troops.

There are 800 men in Zhang Fei's camp, 800 men in Zhao Yun's camp, 1,000 men in Guan Yu's camp, and Liu Bei has 500 troops, for a total of about 3,100 men.

These are regular soldiers, that is, retired professional soldiers.

Others, such as Jian Yong, Mi Zhu and Liu Yan from Yi, also had their own private armies, but they were not many, with only thirty or fifty men each, and the total number did not exceed five hundred.

These people are not counted as regular soldiers. Their daily food and drink are taken care of by their masters. On the battlefield, they are only responsible for protecting their masters' safety.

Of course, there have been three more people under Kou Feng's command recently, but these three hundred people have been divided among the generals since the last training ceremony. Even Kou Feng and Zhang Xi saw him appear in Zhang

Flying in the camp.

To a certain extent, Kou Feng was also unlucky. The soldiers he finally brought out were gone in an instant. He could only serve as a junior colonel in Zhang Fei's camp, regardless of the soldiers who came with him.

One hundred and fifty old troops.

But it seemed that Kou Feng was quite happy. When he saw Zhang Xi, he even smiled silly at Zhang Xi.

But now that the occasion was about ordering troops, Zhang Xi could only pretend that he didn't see the stupid expression on this idiot's face and watched Zhang Fei order his troops.

Zhang Xi took a closer look and found that although the overall quality of the soldiers under Zhang Fei was much better than that of the refugees recruited by Kou Feng, they were still somewhat uneven.

For example, the three hundred people in the middle of the school field are Zhang Fei's soldiers, and they are also veterans who followed Zhang Fei all the way from Xuzhou. Their overall quality is very high, and they stand motionless in the middle of the field.

The remaining 500 people were not doing so well, and they looked not as neat as the 150 people brought by Kou Feng.

Most of the soldiers under the recruitment system have this characteristic, and the quality of the soldiers varies from good to bad.

Good soldiers are basically organized into generals by the generals. When charging on the battlefield, ordinary soldiers are basically cannon fodder. Only generals are the key factor in determining victory or defeat.

Of course, except Qi Jiajun.

How about Shaobao's reputation for future generations?

But no matter what, the total number of soldiers under Zhang Fei's tent, including those brought by Kou Feng, was 950, which looked much better than when he first trained Kou Feng's army.

At least you don’t have to start with supplementing nutrition and conditioning your body.

After ordering the troops and generals, Zhang Fei officially introduced Zhang Xi, the army commander, to the entire army, and made it clear that Zhang Xi would be in charge of army training in the future.

After that, the tents were closed, and people of military rank and above came to the military tents to discuss matters, which could be regarded as supporting Zhang Xi.

There are six primary schools under Zhang Fei's tent, each with 150 people in charge. The number of students is not large, so Zhang Fei introduced them to Zhang Xi one by one.

Zhang Xi silently wrote down the names of these people, and everyone will become colleagues from now on.

Another thing, Zhang Xi also needs to see if there are two people named "Fan Qiang" and "Zhang Da" here. If there are, he must quickly find a way to get them away.

Fortunately not.

It is also possible that Fan Qiang and Zhang Da were not under Zhang Fei's account at this time, and they might have joined later.

And speaking of it, Fan Qiang and Zhang Da really cannot be entirely blamed for Zhang Fei's assassination. There are also big problems with Zhang Fei's own character and way of doing things.

Not only does he like to whip soldiers, but he is so big-hearted that he regards the soldiers he whips at every turn as his confidants. Isn’t this a lack of heart?!

Anyway, now that Fan Qiang and Zhang Da are not available, Zhang Xi also has time and wants to see if Zhang Fei can change his habit of whipping soldiers.

Although Zhang Xi thinks there is little hope.

Except for Kou Feng, none of the names of the six primary schools attracted Zhang Xi's attention. In other words, in Zhang Xi's "brain", most of these people were unknown people.

Unknown people are not necessarily incompetent people. Zhang Xi still understands this truth. Maybe it's just that the world doesn't give them the opportunity to grow up.

Therefore, Zhang Xi did not dare to underestimate these people, especially the small school who fought out from Xuzhou with Zhang Fei and took charge of Zhang Fei's army.

Those are Zhang Fei's true confidants and should not be viewed based on their official positions.

On the first day of work in Zhang Fei's office, Zhang Xi got to know his colleagues.

Of course, I didn't drink this time. All Zhang Fei's wine had just been confiscated, so he couldn't drink it even if he wanted to.

After the accounts were settled, Zhang Xi was about to go home alone, but he didn't expect that this kid Kou Feng also followed him.

"Brother, slow down!" Kou Feng stopped Zhang Xi, came up to him with a look of disdain on his face, and said, "I wonder if brother has any free time, uncle invites brother to his home as a guest!"

Zhang Xi was slightly stunned, somewhat surprised.

The relationship with Kou Feng can be said to be quite strong. One really regards him as an elder brother, and the other really regards him as a younger brother.

But Liu Mi. To be honest, Zhang Xi and Liu Mi were not familiar with each other, and they had never met each other a few times.

But, Liu Bi is Kou Feng's uncle and can be regarded as Zhang Xi's elder. He invited Zhang Xi to be a guest, and it was really hard for Zhang Xi to refuse.

Furthermore, Zhang Xi also wanted to ask Kou Feng why he ended up in Zhang Fei's camp.

But it was very strange that when Zhang Xi asked Kou Feng about this, Kou Feng just ignored him and kept urging Zhang Xi to go to Liu Bi's house.

Zhang Xi, who had no idea what kind of medicine this guy was selling, could only temporarily put aside his doubts. After passing by the market and selling some things as door-to-door gifts, he followed Kou Feng to visit Liu Mi at his home.

Liu Mi did not come to greet him in person. Zhang Xi, led by Kou Feng, entered directly and met Liu Mi and Kou Feng's mother in the hall.

Zhang Xi quickly saluted and greeted.

Zhang Xi and Kou Fengshou are "brothers", so Liu Bi and Kou Mu are Zhang Xi's elders, and they must bow and greet each other seriously.

And, in a sense, this is the friendship of "going to court to worship one's mother".

Although it is only once for the time being, it may be that Kou's mother, as the only person in charge of the Kou family, came out to meet her son's friends. But if Zhang Xi salutes Kou's mother every time he comes here in the future, it means that the two families have a life-long friendship.

.

Going to court to worship one's mother without avoiding his wife is the highest state of friendship in ancient times. This is not Guo Degang's nonsense. This is true.

After paying homage to Kou's mother and Liu Bi, they exchanged a few words of greetings. It was nothing more than Kou's mother asking about Zhang Xi's situation, and Zhang Xi answered them one by one.

While chatting casually, when it was time for dinner, Liu Bi held a banquet and entertained Zhang Xi with his mother Kou Feng.

Then, Zhang Xi knew why Kou Feng appeared in Zhang Fei's camp today, why Kou Feng was still having fun despite being deprived of his military power, and why Kou's mother and Liu Bi invited Zhang Xi to dinner.

There is only one reason - the lord Liu Bei wanted to adopt Kou Feng as his adopted son.

Zhang Xi really didn't expect this.

Zhang Xi remembers, in history, it was because Kou Feng picked up a piece of meat that fell on the ground and ate it, and said that food should not be wasted. Liu Bei thought that this child was not only brave, but also knew how to sympathize with his subordinates, so he moved to adopt his adopted son.

heart of.

But these days, Zhang Xi basically hangs out with Kou Feng and doesn't see him picking up meat to eat.

Could it be that this world is based on romance, and Liu Bei just looked at Kou Feng and accepted him as his adopted son?!

This is too hasty!

Zhang Xi had to find out the details of this. After all, this matter was quite big.

This kid Kou Feng didn't make any fuss, he told everything from the beginning.

It all starts with that practice.

At that time, Zhang Xi was kidnapped by Zhang Fei. Kou Feng was very worried, and he couldn't leave the table directly, so he was a little distracted.

Liu Bei saw that something was wrong with Kou Feng, so he asked about it.

Kou Feng was really sincere. He expressed his worries smoothly and told Liu Bei that he had always regarded Zhang Xi as his elder brother, and Zhang Xi also regarded him as a wise brother. Now that his brother was kidnapped by the gangsters, what was on his mind?

There is chaos and no intention of feasting.

Liu Bei burst out laughing on the spot, but the more he looked at Kou Feng, the more he liked him.

After all, Liu Guan and Zhang Fei were also sworn brothers. After the Battle of Xuzhou, the whereabouts of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were unknown, and Liu Bei often did not think about food or food.

Liu Bei seemed to see the shadow of his own youth in Kou Feng.

In addition, Kou Feng was really handsome, and he had just accomplished military training. He was also good at martial arts, and he had read a few books. The more Liu Bei read, the more he liked Kou Feng.

After asking about his family background again, Liu Bei learned that Kou Feng was also a clan member of the Han Dynasty. After thinking about his current situation, he became somewhat tempted.

Liu Bei is already forty-five years old. In this troubled world where the average life expectancy is only thirty years old, Liu Bei has already entered the ranks of the elderly.

It was not that Liu Bei had no children, nor did he have no sons, but he had been wandering around for many years, and his sons either disappeared or died in infancy. During these years, disappearance and death actually meant the same thing.

Although Jingzhou has settled down in recent years, Liu Bei and Mrs. Gan worked hard for several years and gave birth to two daughters but no son.

As Liu Bei got older day by day, some things became more and more difficult for him, so Liu Bei came up with the idea of ​​having an adopted son.

What he liked was Liu Feng.

Of course, adopting an adopted son is a big deal. Accepting an adopted son in these days is different from recognizing a adopted son in modern society.

In modern society, the recognition of godson is purely a matter of liking and getting closer to each other. Two families are still two families, they just have an additional title.

But if you adopt an adopted son this year, you really have to join the family tree, which is equivalent to the treatment of a real son, and you will have the right to inherit family property in the future.

This is also the reason why Meng Da was able to persuade Liu Feng and Zhuge Liang was able to persuade Liu Bei.

If Liu Feng is just an idle prince without inheritance rights, Zhuge Liang is afraid of "the world is difficult to control". You don't have a share in this country, right?!
