Fortunately, at this time, there was no need for Chen Yuan to explain to him.
Liu Bei directly answered Guan Yu's doubts.
Although Guan Yu was unparalleled in arrogance, he also loved and cared for the common people, and especially hated some aristocratic families.
Therefore, after listening to Liu Bei's explanation, he couldn't help but think highly of Chen Yuan, his fourth brother.
It seems that my fourth brother is really not an ordinary person. This kind of knowledge is not something that ordinary literati can possess.
After unifying his ideas, Liu Bei called Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang over again. Liu Bei didn't waste any words and directly told the whole story: "You two, you can probably do it. Are there any difficulties?"
Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang looked at each other and began to think.
The resettlement of 20,000 to 30,000 people is not easy to do. If you say a few hundred people, it is not difficult for them. If it is a few thousand people, it can be done with gritted teeth.
But for the two to thirty thousand people, let’s not talk about money, food and manpower. The most important thing is that they have no place to put them, and they can’t be discovered by others. This is really difficult to handle.
However, Chen Yuan had already thought about it. Seeing the dilemma between the two, he said: "Brother Zhang, Brother Su, I have a suggestion when I first arrive. Can you guys take a look?"
Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang were in trouble. When they heard that Chen Yuan had a solution, they quickly asked, "Please Zichu give me some advice."
Chen Yuan said: "As far as I know, there is a mountain called Daxing Mountain about sixty miles south of Zhuojun City. There is a valley in this mountain and the terrain is quite open. It is not difficult to accommodate 20,000 to 30,000 people, but only money and food are required.
In terms of manpower, we still need two people to pay for it temporarily, and they will return it in the future when the army has money. What do you think?"
This is the last test for Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang. Although they have been accepted, if they do not perform satisfactorily in this matter and refuse to shirk, then they will naturally not be able to enter the core of Liu Bei's small group.
.
Fortunately, as two of them are giant businessmen, they have the gambling character of inheriting businessmen who can live with rare goods.
At this time, the two of them made up their minds to make a big gamble on Liu Bei.
So Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang handed over to Liu Bei and said: "My lord, this matter is left to me and the two of us. We will definitely feed these 20,000 people in vain."
When Liu Bei heard that the two agreed, he was very happy. He held their hands and said, "In that case, please take care of yourself."
The two of them said they didn't dare and went down to make preparations.
Now that the discussion is over, Liu Bei and the four are ready to set off.
Originally, Liu Bei and the others did not want to take Chen Yuan with them. The battle was dangerous and dangerous. It was very dangerous for Chen Yuan to fight with a scumbag. If he was not careful, he might end up in the battlefield.
But how could Chen Yuan be willing to stay in Zhuo County, because the upcoming war was Liu Guanzhang's first battle to make his fortune, and he could at least get one or two attribute points.
Therefore, Chen Yuan refused to stay in Zhuo County, so the three of them had no choice but to take Chen Yuan with them.
He brought five hundred volunteers with him to join Zou Jing and headed straight to the south of Zhuojun.
Many of the five hundred volunteers on Liu Bei's side were selected by Zhang Fei from his own manor. They are tall, round, and strong, and most of the others are also strong men.
On the other hand, the thousand soldiers in the Prefecture were usually managed by Lu Ding because Liu Yu was not good at military skills, and they had less training. Therefore, they did not look as capable as Liu Bei's five hundred volunteers.
This gap can be seen while walking. Liu Bei's team is traveling very fast, and the team can barely remain intact.
The thousand soldiers in the Prefect's Mansion were a bit stretched. After all, their speed was a bit slow, and their formation was already out of order. They looked like stragglers, which made Zou Jing feel very embarrassed.
After he rectified several typical examples, he could barely keep up with Liu Bei and others.
This made Guan Yu and Zhang Fei despise the commander of Zhuo County. He was really a loser.
However, neither of them said it. After all, they were officers and soldiers, and no matter what they said, they were just volunteers.
There was nothing to say all the way. When we arrived near Daxing Mountain, spies came to report that enemy troops were found ten miles ahead.
Zou Jing then called Liu Bei and others over: "Xuande, the enemy is not far away. How to deal with the enemy is all up to you."
When Zou Jing spoke like this, the commander among the thousand officers and soldiers was immediately unhappy.
According to the military system of the Eastern Han Dynasty, one thousand people per unit, two hundred people per qu, the leader of a unit is the captain or army commander, and the leader of a qu is the qu chief.
Zou Jing himself was the captain of this thousand people, but the remaining music commanders were basically promoted by Lu Ding. He was originally dissatisfied with Zou Jing. After Zou Jing punished a few soldiers on the road,
, they felt resentful in their hearts.
At this time, they would not be happy if they were asked to listen to the arrangements of a leader of the volunteer army.
Therefore, one of the music directors was a general from the Lu family, named Lu Fang. At this time, he snorted coldly: "Colonel, you let a leader of the volunteer army command us, and we don't accept it!"
The other four people also agreed: "Yes, we are not convinced!"
Zou Jing's face suddenly turned ugly. This was because he was losing face.
But Zou Jing also knew the identity of Lu Fang very well. If he punished him, he would definitely hurt Lu Ding. As the leader of the Zhuojun family, the Lu family would be in trouble in Zhuojun if they had bad relations with them.
It was difficult to move even an inch.
Therefore, Zou Jing was in a dilemma for a while.
When Zhang Fei and Zhang Sanye saw this, they immediately became angry.
What do you mean, you look down on my eldest brother? My eldest brother commands you because he looks down on you.
At that moment, Zhang Fei was about to get angry and wanted to step forward and kill these guys.
Liu Bei caught him. How could Liu Bei let Zhang Fei do it?
Taking action against the officers and soldiers is tantamount to rebellion.
Chen Yuan had no worries in his heart. These thousand officers and soldiers were not included in his plan.
Therefore, Chen Yuan said to Zou Jing: "Captain Zou, our two armies have never drilled together before, and we are not familiar with each other. Even if we go to the battlefield, we may not be able to cooperate well. I think it is better to simply divide our troops like this."
In both places, we each play our own role, but we can exert our greatest strength, what do you think?"
Zou Jing thought about it and found that there was no other better way but to adopt Chen Yuan's suggestion.
At present, the two armies were divided into two places, each preparing to fight.
When Zou Jing and others walked away, Liu Bei looked at Chen Yuan: "Fourth brother, what do you mean?"
Although they had not been together for long, Liu Bei already knew Chen Yuan somewhat. He knew that his fourth brother never did anything meaningless.
Chen Yuan smiled when he heard this: "Three brothers, if the old soldiers don't like us, I still don't like them. I'm afraid they will start fighting and drag us back. If we simply divide our troops, we can't do our best!"
Liu, Guan, and Zhang all nodded in agreement: "What the fourth brother said is very reasonable."
Of course, there is another purpose here, which Chen Yuan did not say.
That is because he hopes that these thousand officers and soldiers will suffer more losses, so that the capabilities of the four of them can be revealed.
What Liu Bei needs most at this time is to become famous, to become famous fiercely, so that he can get a good official position in the future after the Yellow Turbans are put down.
