Chapter 16: Liu Yuanqi's Father's Love

"The child is not filial, please take care of your father!" Liu Tao solemnly saluted Liu Yuanqi, and then got up to leave. He originally planned to come back and discuss with Liu Yuanqi to see if he could recommend a few brothers from the same clan......

Now this situation, it seems that I can't count on it, so I'll go to my uncle Liu Zijing's house later to take a look.

I went back to the room and cleaned up, and honestly, there was really nothing to clean up. It is mainly a booklet, on which a large number of characters with half simplified characters and half pinyin are written in small block letters, which Liu Tao secretly wrote with charcoal.

He boasted that he didn't have such a good memory, and after a year, some things before the crossing were a little blurry. Who can guarantee that the history of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty will be forgotten when? Even if some big things are not forgotten, those small things that you don't care about too much will gradually fade away.

Good memory is not as good as a bad pen, and it is better to record it, and at the same time, in order to worry about being deciphered, I used semi-simplified Chinese characters, semi-pinyin method, even if it falls into the hands of others, it is just a 'book of heaven'.

"The Yellow Turban Rebellion is nothing more than the Battle of Changshe, the Battle of Wancheng, the Battle of Dongjun and the Battle of Guangzong." Liu Tao looked at the 'Book of Heaven', "The first three basically don't have a chance to participate, only the battle of Guangzong may still be possible." ”

It seems that the imperial court sent troops in mid-to-late February, in which Lu Zhi headed north and directly faced the main force of the Yellow Turban thieves. Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun went south to deal with the Bocai Yellow Turban in Yingchuan, so there was the Battle of Changshe.

After that, Zhu Jun went to Nanyang to deal with Zhang Mancheng. Huangfu Song went north and defeated Bu Sibu in Dongjun. Later, because Dong Zhuo's expedition against the Yellow Turban was unfavorable, 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.

"Our side will send troops in March, and the battle of Guangzong will definitely be in time. The key is how to deal with it after catching up, and help knock down Guangzong before Zuo Feng comes. Or after Lu Zhi takes it, follow him to Luoyang, or stay to assist Dong Zhuo to continue to deal with Zhang Jiao......" Liu Tao thought slowly, and he found that he really didn't have such a good mind, and he couldn't do everything like those colleagues who crossed over, and he had no last resort.

"Forget it, don't think too much, do your best, and obey the destiny of heaven!" Put away the 'Book of Heaven', Liu Tao got up and was about to leave, change his clothes, he had already taken some to the barracks before, and he came back this time to actually take this 'Book of Heaven'.

When he went out, he didn't want Liu Yuanqi to wait at the gate, and he seemed to be carrying a bag of things in his hand.

"It's so cold, how do you get out here?" Liu Tao stepped forward to ask, in his memory, this dad never left the stove in winter unless he had to do so.

"Are you really planning to join the army?" Liu Yuanqi looked at Liu Tao with a strange expression.

"My reputation, waiting for filial piety is not a play at all, taking advantage of the yellow scarf to make trouble, it is more realistic to earn some military exploits." Liu Tao shook his head. He is in this area of Zhuo County, and it is estimated that the accepted evaluation is - stubborn. According to this evaluation, if the county wants to be filial piety, it will not be his turn, and Liu Bei's 'big filial son' is more likely.

"When will the troops be dispatched?" Liu Yuanqi asked when he heard this.

"As things stand, it will take three months to send troops." Liu Tao replied, not only because of the equipment, but also because the weather was still a little cold. The weather starts to warm up in March, so even if you camp outside, you will feel more comfortable.

Now that the troops are dispatched, if the warmth measures are not taken well, it is possible that hundreds of people will fall ill overnight when they get up the next day. In an era of lack of medical care, a cold and fever can kill you.

If you want to prepare a large amount of warm materials, it will occupy the space of military rations, otherwise the cost of transportation will increase, and the cost of protection will also increase...... Fighting a war looks cool, but it's these trivial things that really drive people crazy!

"At present, the soldiers of the militia are basically the members of the Zhang family, right?" Liu Yuanqi asked again.

"Yes, speaking of which, I also have a plan, to select a group of young people in our clan to be pro-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 heard this, and took the opportunity to say his original plan.

The so-called surname is not Liu, not the meaning of the son-in-law, but the in-laws of the Liu family, and they are half of their own people.

"Okay, I'll go to the ancestral hall now, five days at most, and I'll pick fifty for you! Our Liu family in Zhuo County, the people are still very prosperous, not to mention fifty, five hundred young children can be selected for you. Liu Yuanqi replied.

"I'd rather have a shortage than an abundance, I don't go to the battlefield and come back." Liu Tao immediately reminded, saying that something suddenly came to mind here, and added, "There is still ...... Don't Liu Bei! ”

"There's no need to pull him, I already had a plan to see if I could talk to Jun Cheng after the year and recommend Liu Bei as filial piety. If he succeeds, he will naturally go to Luoyang to serve as a Lang official. Liu Yuanqi replied casually, this son and Liu Bei had a good relationship when they were children, but after returning from Luoyang, the relationship became worse and worse.

Maybe it's because we can't get used to each other, right? The two who came back from Luoyang, one is still as gentle and elegant as before, and the other is becoming more and more stubborn. But this son, who seemed to him to be hopelessly stubborn, actually wanted to join the army......

It's hopeless, it's really hopeless! Only fools will join the army in these years, which of those military men is not constrained by civilian officials everywhere? It's up to the sky, that is, a military candidate or a school captain, those generals, partial generals, not relatives of the family can't be a relative!

I complained like this in private for a long time, decadent for several days, and finally looked away. It is already remarkable that such a stubborn son can muster up the courage to join the army. If you can really mix up with a military captain, then it can be regarded as a result, and it is better than doing nothing at home and being an unknown squire.

Now that he is going to go on the expedition, being a father can't help much, after all, he doesn't know anything about military affairs. But helping to choose a few pro-soldiers, this kind of thing, he can still do it.

Outside, it's better to have a few trustworthy people around. They are all members of the Zhang family, and at the critical moment, I am afraid that they will only protect Zhang Fei and ignore Liu Tao.

"That'...... I'm back in the barracks? Liu Tao pointed to the door.

"Whatever, if you don't get some grades, don't come back!" Liu Yuanqi directly gave way to a position.

"Tonight's celebration feast...... To come? Liu Tao asked again.

"It's your celebration banquet, it has nothing to do with me......" Liu Yuan saw Liu Tao go out, walked out too, turned around and closed the door, and then locked it, "Whatever you want, but after tonight, drink less." I don't know so much about the others, but I still know about the prohibition of alcohol in the army......"

"I'm not a drinker myself." Liu Tao retorted.

"But your brother-in-law is!" Liu Yuanqi went back directly, "It is said that I have been drinking with my grandfather since I was a child, you have to watch this drunkard, you can't tell when you get drunk and make a mistake, and you don't know if you are killed." ”

"Uh...... I think I really should talk to him......" Liu Tao was speechless, Liu Yuanqi looked at Zhang Fei really accurately.

The two fathers and sons chatted with each other, and finally separated at the corner of the street......
