Chapter 43: Returning to Youzhou, Liu Zhang's Armed Soldiers
Chapter 43 Returning to Youzhou Liu Zhang takes charge of the army
Zhang Fei looked at Liu Zhang and suddenly remembered the words of his father Zhang Xiong. Although Zhang Fei always thought his father was verbose, he rarely disobeyed his words. Of course, the matter of practicing martial arts was an exception. I remember that Zhang Xiong said nothing before his death.
, just told Zhang Fei that he must follow Liu Zhang no matter what, even if he is a servant. Now that Liu Zhang came to recruit him, Zhang Fei hesitated for a moment and then knelt down and said: "Greetings, my lord!"
"Get up! Get up!" Liu Zhang quickly helped Zhang Fei up and said, "Brothers, you don't have to do this in the future, just call me big brother!" Liu Zhang originally came for Zhang Fei, and now that Zhang Fei has surrendered, Liu Zhang will not treat him badly. As for
It was not that Liu Zhang had not thought about sworn sworn sworn relationship with Zhang Fei, but the time had not come yet.
"Brother!" Zhang Fei stood up and said, "Since I have followed my brother, I will have the house sold and go back to Youzhou with my brother!"
"Okay!" Liu Zhang asked with a smile: "Yide, have you seen a tall man with red phoenix eyes recently, silkworm eyebrows, a face like a jujube, greased lips, a two-foot-long beard under his forehead, and a height of nine feet?"
Zhang Fei thought for a while and said: "I have never seen such a person. Could it be that he has offended my elder brother?"
"That's not true!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "This man is also a hero and has a very chivalrous heart. I would like to invite him to work together to achieve a great cause. I heard that he wanted to come to Youzhou, so I asked my dear brother. If you want to see
It’s best to live up to him, so I won’t force it if I haven’t seen it before!”
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Don't worry, brother. Since he is a hero, he will always cherish heroes. Sooner or later, he will be my brother's man!"
Liu Zhang smiled and shook his head without saying anything. He knew that heroes cherish heroes, but there is not only one hero in the world. If Guan Yu can't be found now, then Guan Yu is likely to become Liu Bei's man. Liu Zhang saw Liu Bei in the market just now, if he hadn't
He must kill Liu Bei if he is afraid of it.
After a few days, Zhao Lei's injuries were almost healed. During these few days, Zhang Fei entertained Liu Zhang and others while handling the family property. After Zhao Lei could withstand the jolting of the horses, Liu Zhang decided to set off back to Jixian
.Looking at the Zhang Mansion that had taken off the plaque, Zhang Fei felt a little reluctant to leave. After all, this was the place where he had lived for more than ten years.
Seeing that Zhang Fei was a little disappointed, Liu Zhang couldn't help but joked: "Yide, you can come back when you become famous. At that time, we will buy all the nearby houses and expand them. The peach garden in the backyard is where the brothers drink and play!"
"
"Yes! Brother!" Zhang Fei was a bold and bold person, but he was a little embarrassed to be teased like this by Liu Zhang.
Seven people drove away from Zhuo County with a carriage, but no one saw them. At the corner at the end of the street, there was a big man with his hands in his sleeves, looking at their backs with a look of hatred on his face.
The governor of Zhuo County was not stupid. When Liu Zhang arrived at Zhuo County, he passed the news about Liu Zhang to Jixian in the form of official documents. When Liu Zhang left, he sent the news out on a fast horse. Not long after Liu Zhang left Zhuo County, Liu
Yan already knew that he was going back. For this knowledgeable and knowledgeable Zhuoxian City Guard, Liu Yan promoted him to Polu Xiaowei. It was not until the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out that Liu Zhang knew that this City Guard was actually Zou who promoted Liu Guanzhang in history.
Jing!
Liu Yan stayed in Jixian for five years. During these five years, Huang Zhong and Yan Yan defeated Wu Wan several times, which made Liu Yan admire Liu Zhang. No one could have imagined that Liu Zhang could recruit two generals based only on market rumors.
What made Liu Yan even more unexpected was that the military training methods left by Liu Zhang actually gave Jixian's 20,000 soldiers such combat power.
Originally, when the Han people fought with foreigners, the cavalry casualty rate could reach two to one, and the infantry battle casualty rate could reach five to one, which was considered a miracle. However, the soldiers trained by Huang Zhong and Yan Yan were actually able to hit more with less.
, the battle damage rate is still very low, and sometimes in small group battles, there can even be zero casualties. Of course, there are also reasons for this, such as Yan Yan and Huang Zhong, but ultimately it is the training methods of the soldiers.
Finally returned to Jixian. Although Liu Zhang didn't stay in Jixian for a full year, his parents were both in Jixian. He hadn't seen his parents in five years. Liu Zhang felt a little uneasy. Maybe this was due to his shyness in the countryside!
"Sir!" Two majestic men stood at the gate of the city, and a couple stood behind the men. When they saw Liu Zhang and his party from a distance, the man immediately waved and said hello.
"Han Sheng! Yan Yan!" The size of the two big men was very obvious, but the couple behind them was blocked. Liu Zhang rode over and just finished greeting Huang Zhong and Yan Yan, he saw Liu Yan and his wife behind them.
Liu Zhang quickly dismounted and kowtowed: "Greetings to my parents, why are you here?"
"My son, you are so cruel, you have gone away for five years!" Mrs. Liu hugged Liu Zhang into her arms and cried.
Liu Zhang looked at Mrs. Liu who was crying like a woman, and immediately felt at a loss. Liu Yan stepped forward to save the situation and said: "Madam, Zhang'er is back, which should be a happy thing. If you cry like this, aren't you ruining my mood?"
"Yes! It's my fault!" Mrs. Liu burst into tears and said with a smile: "Zhang'er seems to have brought many people back, why don't you introduce them to us?"
"I've met my uncle and aunt (master and old lady)!" Zhao Yun and others were like brothers to Liu Zhang, and they immediately saluted Liu Yan and his wife when they saw them.
"Hey, whose little girl is this? She's so cute!" Mrs. Liu took a liking to Zhao Yun's sister at a glance. She pulled Zhao Yu over and said, "Little girl, can you be my goddaughter?"
Liu Zhang smiled and said: "Mother, she is the sister of my junior brother Zhao Yun, so she is naturally your daughter. Why do you need to be a goddaughter?"
"I have given birth to four of you brothers, but I don't have a daughter. I want to recognize a goddaughter, so naturally I hope she is willing." After Mrs. Liu threw a big eyeball at Liu Zhang, she turned to Zhao Yu and asked: "Little girl, are you willing?"
?”
Zhao Yu is also a poor person. She lost her parents when she was young. Although she has her eldest brother and second brother to protect her, she still lacks maternal love. When she saw the gentle and graceful Mrs. Liu, the little girl's eyes turned red. She threw herself into Mrs. Liu's arms and whispered
cried: "Mother!"
"Okay!" Mrs. Liu was very happy, even though she was only in her early forties.
Liu Zhang and Liu Yan were chatting while walking. Liu Yan was here to learn about Liu Zhang's life in the past five years, while Mrs. Liu was learning about little girl Zhao Yu's family background. Although Mrs. Liu's move was a bit redundant, she did it for Liu Zhang's good. In the world
Almost all women hope that their husbands will only love them, but mothers want their sons to sweep away all the good girls in the world. Maybe women are so conflicted!
When Mrs. Liu heard that Zhao Yu had no father or mother since he was a child, her eyes immediately turned red. Originally, she accepted Zhao Yu as her adopted daughter in order to help Liu Zhang win over the Zhao Yun brothers, but now she really fell in love with Zhao Yu, a smart man.
Little girl. Just as the two women were holding each other's arms and crying, they actually heard Liu Yan scolding Liu Zhang, and Liu Zhang was scolding Huang Xu for being quick-talking. If Huang Xu hadn't led Liu Zhang and five people to pick a bandit stronghold,
Liu Yan wouldn't be angry if I told him.
As the saying goes: A son of a rich man should not be in trouble. There is also a saying: A gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall. In Liu Yan's view, Liu Zhang is both a son of a rich man and a gentleman, so naturally he should not act so recklessly. However, although Liu Zhang was taken by Liu
Yan Xun's submissiveness actually didn't agree with him in his heart. He was going to be the champion of the Han Dynasty, so how could he be afraid of some dangers. Of course, Liu Yan was just worried about Liu Zhang's safety. The so-called deep love means deep responsibility!
Back at the Youzhou Governor's Mansion in Ji County, Liu Yan had already prepared hot water and a change of clothes for Liu Zhang and others. After washing, Liu Zhang came out with Zhao Yun and others, and Liu Yan's eyes suddenly lit up. Not that Zhang
Liu Yanduo was surprised by the figures of Fei and others, but it was their temperaments that were different from ordinary people.
You should know that Zhang Fei was forced to practice essays by his father since he was a child. In addition, he has good looks and is somewhat like a Confucian general. Zhao Yun and Zhang Ren are Tong Yuan's disciples. Although Tong Yuan is a martial arts master, he has been studying martial arts since he was a child.
, his disciples are naturally different from others. In the Han Dynasty, scholars who had no power to tie a chicken were not valued by people. On the contrary, people who were able to become generals and generals were valued more. If you want to be generals and generals, you should naturally
Zhao Yun and others are of this type. However, although Zhang Fei is also talented in both civil and military affairs, his character is too reckless.
After washing, it was natural to have a reception banquet. Looking at the table full of food, not to mention Zhao Yun and Zhao Lei, children who had been eating hard since childhood, even Liu Zhang had saliva left in his mouth. In the mountains, Liu Zhang and others often went hunting for tooth sacrifices, but they
The purpose was to train archery skills. Even if they caught game, it was just a simple cooking. It was not as delicious as the food cooked by the special chef of the governor's office! Liu Zhang and others devoured the food, which made Mrs. Liu wipe her tears. Until the banquet was over,
She kept saying: "My son has endured hardship!"
After eating and drinking, Liu Zhang and others went to the room arranged by Liu Yan and had a good sleep. Early the next morning, Liu Zhang and others woke up under the influence of the biological clock. When Liu Yan got up, Liu Zhang and others had already
After practicing martial arts for a long time on the small training ground in the backyard. After breakfast, Liu Zhang and his brothers found Liu Yan.
Seeing his son arriving, Liu Yanxiao asked, "My son, are you still used to sleeping last night?"
Liu Zhang smiled and said, "I'll tell you back to my father. It's natural to sleep more comfortably at your own home."
Liu Yan nodded and asked again: "What important matter do you come to see me as my father?"
Liu Zhang smiled and said: "Father, I want to lead troops! These brothers of mine also want to join the military camp to gain experience."
"Oh! Tell me what you think!" Liu Yan knew that Liu Zhang had been determined to be Huo Qubing since he was a child, and it was normal for him to want to join the military camp.
Liu Zhang smiled and said: "Twenty thousand people from Ji County are given to me as commander-in-chief. Huang Zhong will be my direct subordinate. Zhang Fei, Zhang Ren, Zhao Yun, Huang Xu, and Zhao Lei will join Huang Zhong's command! As for Yan Yan, let him make another ten thousand people.
People!"
"This... is not good!" Liu Yan hesitated. He was not afraid that Liu Zhang would take power, but that he was worried that the troops under his control would exceed the scope allowed by the court.
"Father, don't worry!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "It has been five years since Huang Zhong trained the troops in Jixian County! This time I came back not just to train in the army, but to take the initiative. Wait until I bring Wu
If Maru wins, the imperial court won't say that we have too many troops. If I lose, there won't be many of the 20,000 men left, and the imperial court won't say anything!"
