Chapter 143: Guan Yu joins the army
ββOutside Zhuoxian County
A man with a long beard and a red face looked at the person at the city gate with some vigilance.
He already knew that the man had been asking if there was a man with a red face and a long beard, lying silkworm eyebrows, and red phoenix eyes.
Isn't that me?
No need to ask, this person is Guan Yu, who was respected as a martial saint by later generations.
Guan Yu has been living in the rivers and lakes since he killed people in his hometown, and when he came to Zhuo County at this time, he heard that the Yellow Turban Army was in turmoil, so he wanted to join the army to get a war exploit and atone for his sins.
"I didn't expect that there was also an enemy here, I heard that there is a county lieutenant Liu Bei outside the city, who is recruiting Xiangyong, it is better to vote..."
Ma Qiang probably never dreamed that Guan Yu, who he wanted to recruit, still voted for Liu Bei's military camp according to the inertia of history.
The inertia of history is so great.
In the barracks, Liu Bei looked at the increasing number of sergeants, stroked his beard and smiled, and said to Liu Deran, who came to help on the side, "The people's hearts are available, the people's hearts are available!" I didn't expect that in just a few days, nearly 1,000 people were recruited! β
Liu Deran is Liu Xin's elder brother, his name is Liu Zheng, and Liu Xin's name is connected to the meaning of revitalization.
"It's all caused by Xuande's benevolence and righteousness on weekdays, if it weren't for the fact that you helped the people of Zhuo County survive the plague in the past, how could there be a grand occasion of gathering in the army today!" Liu Zheng responded with a smile, "By the way, the Lu family seems to have sent someone too?" β
"Yes, it is Lu Jie, the eldest son of my division, who asked his servants to bring grain, grass, thousands of stones and soldiers of the fifty clans." Liu Bei couldn't help but feel a little grateful to Lu Zhi as he spoke.
These fifty clan soldiers are all elite soldiers who have been practicing martial arts all year round, and they are not comparable to the righteous and brave soldiers recruited now, and Lu Jie gave these people to him, which is really a great gift for Liu Bei, who is just starting out.
"Big brother, it's not good, big brother, Brother Yide and people are fighting! We can't stop it! At this time, Shiren ran out of breath and shouted to Liu Bei.
"What? Oh! Wing De is in trouble again! Liu Bei asked Zhang Fei to be responsible for recruiting troops, and at the same time tested whether the recruited volunteers were suitable for joining the army, but he didn't expect Zhang Fei to actually start with people.
Liu Bei hurriedly rushed to the camp gate with Liu Zheng, but saw Zhang Feizheng wrestling with a red-faced man.
"Xuande, I'm not mistaken, Yide is actually retreating?"
Liu Zheng knew that Zhang Fei was powerful, this demon king, he had never caused trouble in Zhuo County.
"Yide, strong man, stop!" Liu Bei stepped forward, grabbed one with one hand, and used a skillful force to stagger the two of them violently, and the two of them couldn't contain their strength at once, and they both fell to the ground.
Guan Yu looked at Liu Bei in surprise, he knew what he was capable of, but the cow didn't have as much strength as himself, who was this person, he was so powerful.
"Yide, why are you fighting people?" Liu Bei glared at Zhang Fei and shouted.
Zhang Fei lowered his head, scratched his head a little embarrassed, and said, "I see that this monkey's butt face is very strong, and he can't hold back for a while..."
"Poof.."
"Hahahaha!"
The people watching around listened to Zhang Fei's words, and they couldn't hold back their laughter all of a sudden, Guan Yu heard someone say this about himself for the first time, and he wanted to be angry, but the more he thought about it, the funnier it became, and he actually laughed along.
At this time, Guan Yu was also in his early twenties, and he had not yet reached the point where he was so unsmiling.
Liu Bei also smiled when he saw Guan Yu, first scolded Zhang Fei, and then said to Guan Yu, "Under Liu Bei Liu Xuande, temporarily the county lieutenant of Zhuo County, under the order of the county guard, recruit soldiers here. β
Guan Yu smiled, and sighed with some embarrassment, "Don't hide it from Liu County Lieutenant, in Xia Guan Yu, Hedong people's clan, the word Changsheng, because he killed someone in his hometown, changed the word Yunchang, came here to join the army, hoping to kill the enemy to serve the country, and atone for his crimes with his military exploits!" β
Zhang Fei patted his chest and said, "I am optimistic that you are polite when you speak, it can be seen that you are not a bad person, then the one killed by you must be a bad person, big brother, this big brother Guan has a lot of ability, he should be accepted, and he should be made an officer!" β
Liu Bei also nodded and said, "Yide is reasonable, now that the Yellow Turban is in turmoil, the imperial court is a plan to use people, and the preparation of officials is light, so I can only let Yun Chang temporarily become a military marquis, and please don't dislike Yun Chang!" β
Zhang Fei was overjoyed and said, "That's the same as me, come on, come on, wait for the soldiers and horses to be recruited, let's have a drink together, I have the red star two pot heads here, that's a must!" β
"Yide, drink less in the army!" Liu Bei blamed helplessly, and Zhang Fei said with a grin, "Don't drink too much, don't drink too much, just a small sip, a small sip!" β
Guan Yu looked at Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and the others who were happy, and suddenly wanted to join them, and wanted to be brothers with these people, it would definitely be soon.
- on an avenue
Guo Yuan took several people and desperately whipped the war horse under his crotch.
They fought desperately out of Jixian County, and then ran along the road to Shanggu County.
"Everyone is holding on, and it will be safe when you arrive in Uetani County!" Guo Yuanqiang endured the stinging pain in his throat, boosting the morale of the people around him, they had not eaten or drunk for half a day, they were already extremely tired.
"Whew!"
"Ahh
Suddenly, an arrow flew out of the woods on the side of the avenue and hit Guo Yuan's shoulder directly, and he screamed so badly that he almost fell under his horse.
Then seven or eight more arrows shot the two men under the horse.
"There is an ambush, go quickly!" Guo Yuan didn't even dare to raise his head, bent down, continued to hold the horse's belly, and wanted to rush out of here, but he heard a sound of horses in front of him, and the knight in front of him fell to the ground with his horse, and the road ahead couldn't see how many horse traps told Guo Yuan why he fell.
The horse pit is actually very simple, it is a small hole slightly larger than the horse's hoof, when the war horse is galloping, it is easy to fall because of stepping on these small holes, and the fast galloping war horse falls, the fractures of the people on it are considered light, and the serious ones will even fall to death.
"Ril!!" Guo Yuan desperately pulled the war horse, he looked around, the surrounding woods were still quiet, he and the remaining three knights all pulled out their ring head swords and guarded.
"I am the nephew of Guo Xun, the assassin of Youzhou, and I went to Luoyang on the order of the assassin history, and I also asked the good man to raise his noble hand, I am willing to offer gold cakes to buy the road!" Guo Yuan took out a golden cake from his arms and raised it high, and then let him fall to the ground.
"Hahaha! Guo Duwei, don't come to harm! A hearty laugh came from the woods, and a group of cavalry rode out on horseback, leading the general, holding a curved bow in one hand and three arrows in the other.
"Yan Rou.... How could it be you? Did Ma Qiang also take refuge in the Yellow Turban thieves? Guo Yuan said in disbelief, he had thought that it was the Yellow Turban Army, that it was Wuhuan or Xianbei, and that it might be a strongman, but he really didn't think that it would be Ma Qiang's Red Star Battalion.
"Guo Yuan, you betrayed the court, abandoned the city and fled, where do you want to go now? Don't hurry up and get off the horse and surrender! I'm going to take you to the official! Yan Rou's words ignited a glimmer of hope for Guo Yuan, and he hurriedly argued, "I didn't betray the imperial court, I broke through on the order of Guo Tingshi, and I can go with you to see the Changping Order!" β
Guo Yuan also thought that Ma Qiang was asked by Changping to help defend him.
Yan Rou signaled, and several Wuhuan cavalrymen pulled Guo Yuan and the others off their horses, and then tied them up, although Guo Yuan felt pain, he did not resist.
Yan Rou stepped forward and searched Guo Yuan's body, but only found a silk book, Guo Yuan shouted, "That's what Guo Tingshi asked me to hand over to Yuan Taiwei, he can prove that I didn't run away!" β
Yan Rou opened it and looked at it, and when she saw the Great Seal of Thorn History covered below, she was sure in her heart, and then waved her hand and said, "Search!" β
Several Wuhuan cavalry began to search for the horses, and sure enough, they found the Great Seal of Youzhou Thorn in the saddle of the war horse that Guo Yuan was riding.
In fact, the so-called big seal is not very big, the seal of the Han Dynasty is only a little more than an inch, and the kind of seal as big as a brick seen in later generations only appeared after the Six Dynasties.
Yan Rou got the stab Shiyin, his face changed, and with a wave of his hand, those Wuhuan cavalry immediately killed Guo Yuan and others on the spot, poor Guo Yuan, who should have been appreciated by the Yuan family, was too guarded, but now he is a wild ghost in the wilderness.
