Chapter 16 Liu Yuanqi's Father's Love
"You are unfilial, please take care of me!" Liu Tao solemnly bowed to Liu Yuanqi, then stood up and left. He originally planned to come back and discuss with Liu Yuanqi to see if he could recommend a few brothers from the same clan...
It seems that I can’t count on this situation now, so I’ll go to my uncle Liu Zijing’s house later to take a look.
I returned to the room and cleaned up. To be honest, there was nothing to clean up. The main thing was a booklet, which was written in small fly heads, with half simplified characters and half pinyin. This was written secretly by Liu Tao with charcoal pen.
He claimed that he did not have such good memories. Some things that had been traveling through time for a year and before traveling through time became blurred. Who can guarantee that he would forget the history of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty? Even if he did not forget some big things, those trivial things that he didn't care much about would gradually fade away.
A good memory is not as good as a bad pen, so it is better to record it. At the same time, in order to worry about being deciphered, I used semi-simplified characters and semi-pinyin methods. Even if it fell into the hands of others, it would be just a "Heavenly Book".
"The Yellow Turban Rebellion is nothing more than the four major battlefields of Changshe, the Battle of Wancheng, the Battle of Dongjun and the Battle of Guangzong." Liu Tao looked at the 'Shistorical Book', "The first three basically had no chance to participate, and only the Battle of Guangzong might be possible."
The court seemed to have sent troops in mid-to-late February, with Lu Zhi heading north and facing the main force of the Yellow Turban thieves. Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun heading south and dealing with the Bocai Yellow Turban in Yingchuan, so the Battle of Changshe was launched.
Later, Zhu Yan went to Nanyang to deal with Zhang Mancheng's tribe. Huangfu Song went north and defeated Bu Si tribe in Dongjun. Later, because Dong Zhuo was not good at fighting against the Yellow Turban, he had to continue to go north to deal with Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang... However, Zhang Jiao seemed to have died of illness at that time.
"We sent troops in March, and the battle of Guangzong will definitely be in time. The key is how to deal with it after catching up. Before Zuo Feng arrives, help defeat Guangzong. Or after Lu Zhicheng takes down, follow him to Luoyang, or stay to help Dong Zhuo continue to deal with Zhang Jiao..." Liu Tao thought slowly, and found that he did not have such a good mind and could not do everything and make every decision like those colleagues who traveled through time.
"Forget it, don't think too much, do your best and leave it to fate!" After putting away the "Shistorical Book", Liu Tao got up and left. He had already taken some of the clothes he had been to the military camp before. This time, he came back to get this "Shistorical Book".
When he went out, Liu Yuanqi didn't expect that he was waiting for the door, and he seemed to be carrying a bag of things in his hand.
"The weather is so cold, why did you come out here?" Liu Tao stepped forward and asked. In his memory, this father never left the stove unless he had to force him to do so.
"Are you really planning to join the army?" Liu Yuanqi looked at Liu Tao with a strange expression.
"My reputation is not a good thing for filial integrity. It is more practical to make some military achievements while the Yellow Turbans are in trouble." Liu Tao shook his head. In the area of Zhuo County, the recognized evaluation of his name is - naughty. In this evaluation, it is not his turn to be a filial integrity in the county. It is more likely that Liu Bei's "big filial son" is.
"When will the troops be sent?" Liu Yuanqi asked after hearing this.
"From the current situation, it takes three months to send troops." Liu Tao replied, not only because of equipment problems, but mainly because the weather is a little cold. The weather starts to warm up in March, and even if you are camping outside, you will feel more comfortable.
Now that the troops are sent, and the warmth measures are not done well, hundreds of people may fall ill overnight when they wake up the next day. In the era of lack of medical conditions, a cold or fever may be a life-threatening person.
If you want to prepare a large amount of warmth, it will occupy space for military rations, otherwise the transportation cost will increase, and the cost of protection will also increase... Wars may seem very good, but these trivial things really make people crazy!
"At present, the soldiers of the militia are basically servants of the Zhang family, right?" Liu Yuanqi asked again.
"Yes, I have plans to choose a group of young people in our clan as personal soldiers, about twenty or so, fifty people are the best. Even if they don't have the surname Liu, it doesn't matter..." Liu Tao took the opportunity to tell his original plan after hearing this.
The so-called "not surnamed Liu" does not mean that he is a son-in-law, but the Liu family's in-laws, and at least he is half his own.
"Okay, I'll go to the ancestral hall now, and I'll select fifty of you in five days at most! Our Zhuo County Liu family is still very prosperous. Not to mention fifty, five hundred young children can select you." Liu Yuanqi replied.
"I would rather be insignificant than indiscriminate. I wouldn't go to the battlefield and come back." Liu Tao immediately reminded, saying that something suddenly came to mind here, adding, "And... don't want Liu Bei!"
"There is no need to pull him up. I already had plans to see if I could talk to the county magistrate after the New Year and recommend Liu Bei as a filial and honest official. If it succeeds, he will naturally go to Luoyang to serve as a lieutenant." Liu Yuanqi replied casually. This son and Liu Bei had a good relationship when they were young, but after returning from Luoyang, their relationship became worse and worse.
Maybe they don’t like each other? One of the two people who came back from Luoyang is still as gentle as before, while the other is becoming more and more naughty. But this son, who is already hopelessly naughty in his opinion, is actually going to join the army...
It’s really beyond help! Only fools will join the army these days. Who are not constrained by civil servants everywhere? It’s just a military officer or a captain, and those generals start with the generals. They are not a family and family relatives, and they can’t be treated as a clerk!
I complained like this for a long time in private, and I was decadent for several days, but finally I was relieved. Such a naughty son can muster up the courage to join the army, which is already very amazing. If I can really be a military captain, it would be considered a success. It would be better than doing nothing at home and being an unknown squire.
Now that he is going to go to war, he can't help much as his father. After all, he knows nothing about military affairs. But he can still do this kind of thing when it comes to choosing a few personal soldiers.
Outside, there are a few trustworthy people around you who are better. They are all servants of the Zhang family. At the critical moment, I am afraid that they will only protect Zhang Fei and ignore Liu Tao.
"Then... am I going back to the military camp?" Liu Tao pointed to the gate.
"Whatever you want, don't get any results, don't come back!" Liu Yuanqi directly gave up one position.
"Tonight's celebration banquet... will it come?" Liu Tao asked again.
"That's your celebration banquet, it has nothing to do with me..." Liu Yuanqi saw Liu Tao go out, and walked out, turned around and closed the door, and locked it, "Whatever you do, but after tonight, drink less wine. I don't know so much about the rest, but I still know this in the army's prohibition of alcohol..."
"I am not the kind of alcoholic person myself," Liu Tao retorted.
"But your righteous brother is!" Liu Yuanqi went back directly, "It is said that he has been drinking with his grandfather since he was a child. You have to watch this drunkard, and you may not know when he was drunk and was killed."
"Uh... I think I should really talk to him..." Liu Tao was speechless. Liu Yuanqi saw that Zhang Fei was really accurate.
