Cui Yi was not in Lu County. The doctor who took care of him complained to Liu Xiang, saying that this was not the first time that Cui Yi had gone to fight with someone. His injuries were not healed yet. He refused to listen to what he said and could not control him.
.
"Where have you gone?"
"Ji County."
"Who to fight with?"
"Guan Yu."
Liu Xiang laughed angrily, "This careless guy was probably unconvinced and went to find someone to blame."
He was not in a hurry to go to Jixian. It was not a desperate battle, and it was not the first time he went there, so nothing big would happen.
Under the leadership of Su Wei, he went to Tian Yu's home, which was twenty miles south of Lu County and belonged to Yong Nu's territory.
Tian's mother avoided seeing him, and Tian Yu was waiting for guests in the front hall. He was ashamed and said, "General, please forgive me for breaking my promise." He didn't say the reason, but the child had a strong personality. In order to take care of his self-esteem, Liu Xiang didn't ask for the reason.

He asked with concern: "Have you got the property back?"
"Thanks to the general's concern and sending several brothers to help, all the assets and properties left by my father have been recovered."
"Can you study?"
Tian Yu shook his head.
"Have you finished your elementary education?"
"My father has enlightened me. I have several books at home and I have read them all."
Liu Xiang didn't ask what kind of book it was. He studied by himself with a few volumes, but he couldn't learn anything famous, and it couldn't be considered scholarship.
"Are you willing to follow me in your heart?"
"If you are willing, the general's kindness must be repaid."
That would be easy to handle.
"Tell your mother that the general's government has appointed you as secretary, responsible for sorting out the tens of thousands of books in the government. I am a clan member of the Han Dynasty, and I actually control Youzhou. There are five quotas for filial piety and integrity every year. When you come of age, I will
May you have one."
The promotion of filial piety and integrity was the official path of the Han dynasty, which was equivalent to being a Jinshi after the imperial examination. With the qualification of filial piety and honesty, one's official career would be much smoother. Besides filial piety and incorruptibility, there was also Mao Cai. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, prefectures and counties no longer promoted Mao Cai.
Only the princes, generals, and Guang Luxun were qualified, and they were selected from among the officials who had already served as officials and those who were filial and honest.
Of course Liu Xiang does not have the right to promote filial piety and honesty now, but he will have it in the future. It will not be difficult to deceive a country woman.
What she was worried about was her reputation as a thief and the dangers of the battlefield. She told her that she was a member of the clan and a family member of the emperor, not a thief. She recruited her son into the palace and had thousands of books for him to study.
It can also provide a proper path to becoming an official in the future.
Any question?
Liu Xiang felt there was no problem.
Tian’s mother also felt that there was no problem.
Therefore, Tian Yu changed from his personal guard to his little secretary. He lost his military status and military benefits, but got a promise for the future. Anyway, no matter what his title, Liu Xiang wanted to train Tian Yu, so
I don't know if they made a profit or a loss.
It doesn't matter, there is no need to worry about such trivial matters.
Take Tian Yu and continue the journey to Ji County to find Cui Yi and take a look at Guan Yu.
Guan Yu's character was really good. He shouldered the livelihood of his family of more than thirty people without saying a word. Perhaps he was afraid that if he didn't bear the responsibility, these people would be killed.
After all, they are the family members of the enemy. If they are angered, the outcome will not be easy.
Before his wounds healed, he took the men among these people out to do business. They could have scarce goods, but they were selling needles, threads, brains, fruits and vegetables. There was no profit, and they could barely make a living.
It’s not much different from the jujube seller Liu Xiang guessed.
There are some people whose character alone is worthy of admiration.
Liu Xiang prepared a salute when he came to the door. It was not expensive and he just followed the etiquette. Maybe one day, Guan Yu would die in his hands, but before that, he didn't want to be rude.
When they came to the door, Guan Yu and Cui Yi came out to greet them. Before Guan Yu could say anything, Cui Yi ran over with a big smile, grabbed Liu Xiang's hand, and said excitedly: "Hahaha, my lord, I haven't seen you for many days.
You want to harm me."
"Is the injury healed? Have you been beaten?" Liu Xiang asked him narrowly.
Cui Yi was a little shy and replied stiffly: "You have won several times, how can you say you were beaten?"
Look at me."
That means getting beaten.
Liu Xiang ignored his complaints, turned to Guan Yu, bowed his hands and saluted, and went to visit him. There was no reason to neglect his master.
"Fox slave Liu Xiang, whose courtesy name is Yicheng, is visiting Brother Yun and has taken the liberty to come to the door. Don't be surprised if he disturbs you."
Guan Yu bowed and returned the salute: "Guan paid his respects to General Liu and thanked him for his life."
"It doesn't have to be like this. There are no personal grudges in battles on the battlefield. Treating wounded soldiers after the war is the right thing to do. Yun Chang doesn't have to worry about it."
"General benevolence and righteousness."
Guan Yu was very indifferent. He had no worries about the whole family's lives depending on Liu Xiang's thoughts. He just thanked him according to the etiquette, neither humble nor overbearing. After seeing the ceremony, he asked everyone in the family to come to see him and thank him for his life.
With this attitude, he couldn't find an opportunity to recruit. Liu Bei and Zhang Fei's family members were trembling with fear. Liu Xiang didn't want to be a bad guest or waste any more time, so he took Cui Yi and left.
On the way, Cui Yi asked: "Master, do you want to recruit Guan Yunchang?"
"It's difficult."
Cui Yi chuckled: "Yun Chang was both talented and virtuous, and it's a pity that he was buried like this. I'll leave this matter to someone. My lord, please wait for good news."
Liu Xiang rolled his eyes: "You should recover from your injuries first. You are really good at finding someone to fight even though you are injured."
"It's a minor injury, don't worry about it. I'm just sorry that the injury happened at the wrong time. My lord conquered the elite of the Northern Army. It's such a shocking battle that I can't participate in it. It's hateful and annoying." Cui Yi beat his thigh, feeling very regretful.
Liu Xiang advised: "There will be many more battles in the future. You should recover from your injuries first. I have to leave. This time I am here to check on your injuries. I am relieved that you are okay."
"Why is my lord so anxious?"
"Huangfu Song has defeated Zhang Liang and his army has turned to the northwest. Zhang Bao may not be alive for a few more days. The barrier that can block the imperial court will be gone. I can't feel at ease. You can recover well and I will set off now."
"Farewell, my lord."
When the two said goodbye and Liu Xiang hurried back to Beixin City, it was already the tenth day of November.
The sentinel reported that Huangfu Song's army had passed Ying Tao, and its front was pointing directly at Quyang, where Zhang Bao had gathered more than 100,000 people and was reorganizing his army to prepare for war.
Xiaquyang is located at the northernmost point of Julu County, only more than 40 miles away from Wuji County, Zhongshan State, and more than 300 miles away from Beixin City.
It is not difficult to guess the outcome of this battle. Zhang Bao will be defeated. Not only because Liu Xiang has read history books, but Zhang Bao has a large number of people but few elites. Although he is under the banner of the Yellow Turban, most of his troops are refugees and bandits.
The personnel under his command are mixed, the command is not smooth, and the combat power is really not very good, not as good as the main force of the Yellow Turbans commanded by Zhang Liang.
Facing Huangfu Song, what can he win?
An army does not become more powerful with more people.
Since Zhang Jiao died of illness, the Yellow Turban Uprising has been considered over. With Zhang Liang's death in battle, Zhang Bao is about to be finished, and the end of the Yellow Turban Army has come.
In the years to come, those who carried the Yellow Turban banner were just bandits from all walks of life. They were not the same concept as the Yellow Turban Army led by Zhang Jiao and could not be compared.
Liu Xiang felt like he was witnessing history, and there was a sense of powerlessness as the wheels of fate rolled forward, and human power was irresistible.
