Liu Wei ignored Tang Qi, sat on his horse and said to Yang Gu from afar: "Yang team lead, I want you to camp here with thousands of people, and you need to go to the Chinese military tent to rely on my banner of 'Tianwei Invincible Sima of Other Departments'." ”

Yang Gu was stunned for a while, and it took a while before he replied, "Won't the last general go to Yingyang City with His Highness?" ”

"No need, just Zifeng goes to Yingyang with me." Liu Wei waved his hand and said, and then took off the dagger that he had always carried with him from his waist, and threw it at Yang Gu Dao: "You will take this dagger and order the whole army, even if other commanders and military marquis also have to listen to your orders, when the camp is stationed, the march and retreat, or attack and defend, it is up to you to decide." ”

Yang Gu took the dagger, panicked inexplicably, it must be known that he had only been at Liu Bian's side for a few days as a doctor, and the time he had followed Liu Wei was not the same as these tiger soldiers, and now as a team leader, it was already a special favor from Liu Bian, how could he do this thing to lead the whole army now, and how could such a heavy responsibility not make him not panic?

Liu Wei saw it in his eyes, and his heart naturally had some calculations, so he looked around the whole army and said loudly: "Today's appointment of me, don't be unconvinced, don't hide it from you, this Yang Gu Yang team rate in front of you is the author of "Luo Shen Fu" on the main monument of my Han Hongdu Gate, and it is my Han Wenzong, whose status is comparable to that of Confucius on the main monument of Taixue, although his person is the team leader today, it is just me Liu Bian today is just another Sima, he is above the court, among the sheji, the status of Yang Gu, At least you should be ranked in Jiuqing, and you belong to such a civil and military elite leader today, but is there anyone who is not convinced? ”

After such words, the individual soldiers who were still scheming and speaking out in detail immediately stopped speaking, and all of them were led by the chief officer of the army where they were located, and echoed Liu in a loud voice: "There is no dissatisfaction!" ”

All of a sudden, thousands of people numbered, and the sound of shouting was magnificent.

After all the sergeants finished shouting, Liu Wei praised a few times, then turned his horse's head and walked towards Tang Qi's side in front. Although Tang Qi did not understand why Liu Wei only went to Yingyang with the number of thirty people, he did not get an answer from Liu Wei's mouth, but he had the excellent quality of being a soldier, and in a moment, he selected thirty strong men from the Tiger Ben army, and when Liu Wei spoke, they had already finished the queue.

Seeing Liu Wei coming to his side, Tang Qi arched his hand and said: "They are all capable and strong men, compared with moths and thieves, one is ten, and it is not a problem."

Liu Wei couldn't help rolling his eyes and said with a smile: "There are only thirty people, counting you and me, there are only thirty-two people, don't say that all of us are just one to be ten, what is the use of one as a hundred?" There are tens of thousands of moth thieves. ”

Unexpectedly, Tang Qi asked Liu Wei about this statement, but he didn't refute it, but nodded again and again: "In this case, why didn't Your Highness order the whole army to be sent out, now our army still has a thousand people, no matter what, it is always better than thirty." ”

"What about a thousand-thousand?" Liu Wei shook his head again and again, and said with a wry smile: "The crowd of thousands of people, but three hundred tiger soldiers and seven hundred new troops, are all people who have no experience in warfare, and if they really want to attack Yingyang City, the number of thousands of people may not be able to withstand a few rounds of arrow rain in waves, in this case, why send them to death?" ”

"If as His Highness said, a thousand people are going to die, and now thirty people are attacking Yingyang, isn't it sent to death?" Tang Qi's face was red, and he seemed to be extremely anxious.

Liu Wei spread his hands helplessly, shook his head and smiled: "But I didn't say that I was going to attack the city and die." ”

When Tang Qi heard this, he was speechless for a while, and he couldn't answer, but he listened to Liu Wei continue: "I intend to find twenty or thirty people pretending to be moth thieves and searching for Lu Sima's traces along the way. ”

Tang Qi was dumbfounded when he heard this, and he couldn't believe Yu Liu's plan.

Seeing this, Liu Wei didn't explain more, but just nodded at the thirty sergeants who had finished the line and said, "Thirty people seem to be a little more, so let's go to half more, only fifteen people." ”

Liu Wei ordered while speaking, and at the same time slightly rode around the side of these thirty tiger warriors, shook his head and said: "And you can't choose tiger warriors, the moths and thieves are all poor and miserable, hungry refugees, thin and weak should be reasonable, and the tiger warriors grew up in Luoyang Palace, and they are really burly and majestic." ”

At the time of such words, Liu Biao shouted to the 700 new troops: "There may be young people in the army who have not reached the weak crown, or have not yet tied their hair."

Some of the sergeants looked at each other, but no one dared to take the lead.

Liu Wei chuckled a few times, and then slowly rode his horse to these new soldiers and said with a smile: "Since you don't dare to go out of the battle, then it's up to me to do it."

As soon as the words fell, he saw Liu Wei waving his horsewhip and pointing lightly at a few weak people in the army.

After a while, more than 20 old and weak soldiers stood in front of the 700 new army formation, Liu Wei stepped forward one by one, and after some interrogation and instructions, 15 people were selected from them, and only then did he say to Le Mayan: "Don't panic, this time you went to Yingyang not to ask you to die, but to wait with me Liu Wei to make great contributions!"

The sergeant seemed to be in disbelief, still looking at each other, with a frightened look on his face, Tang Qi saw it in his eyes, and finally stepped forward and suggested: "Your Highness, these weak soldiers are all people who have to join the army in order to make a living, and now Your Highness wants to do such an important thing, these people are still not as reliable as the tiger soldiers."

Liu Wei waved his hand again and again, and said with a smile: "The more this is the case, the better it is."

Then he said to the fifteen recruits in front of him: "This trip to Yingyang is really a dangerous thing, so I don't force it, if you are cowardly and dare not take risks, you will be listed, and I will do it, and I will not blame it."

Before everyone could react, Liu Wei said: "But if you can do this with me willingly and with all your heart, I, Liu Bian, will also be grateful, no matter how old you are, you will be rewarded."

In this way, at first, a few people wanted to speak and stopped, and when the soldiers who were about to come out of the ranks stood still again, they seemed to change their decisions again, and after a while, a childish young man came out of the team and asked in a loud voice: "What is the heavy reward that Your Highness said?"

Liu Wei glanced at him, but he didn't answer, but asked, "I see that you are immature, but how old are you now?"

"Fourteen years old!"

"Fourteen?" Liu Wei bowed slightly: "At such an age, how did you think of joining the army?"

"Your Highness is not more than ten years old, and you can still be Sima and run a thousand armies, but I am fourteen years old, why can't I join the army?" The young man replied proudly, and when he saw Liu Wei looking at him with interest, he suddenly said in a loud voice: "Is it because His Royal Highness is the prince?" What kind of prince will Xiangning have? ”

Then, between these words, an old man behind him suddenly dragged him back to his side, and then slapped the young man, shouting and scolding: "You cheap seed, talk nonsense, don't hurry up and excuse yourself."

While acting like this, the old man secretly glanced at Liu Bian, and saw that Liu Bian was still sitting on a high horse, as if he was smiling, but he didn't say a word, he still looked at the young man so calmly, his beard was slightly curled, and he kicked the young man heavily, and scolded angrily in his mouth: "You cheap species, such nonsense, big rebellion, can you still be wronged by your Highness?" ”

After that, he kicked the young man who had already fallen to the ground, and the young man was already thin and weak, and he was hit by the old man's heavy feet, and he actually lay on the ground, but he still shouted to himself: "The prince will have a kind of Xiangning, and he will have a kind of Xiangning!" ”

The soldiers around him were all panicked, even Tang Qi's handsome face showed three points of fear, but when he saw Liu Wei leaning over, he got off the horse, walked to the young man lying on the ground, and slowly squatted down.

When the old man saw Liu Wei stepping forward, he hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed again and again, and confessed his guilt.

Liu Wei smiled and waved his hand at the old man, and said, "You are not guilty. ”

After that, he ignored the old man's behavior, looked at the fallen young man and said, "You have a lot of backbone, but who gave you these words?" ”

The young man patted the dust on his face, straightened up, and knelt on the ground, but when Liu Wei asked, he stopped talking.

Seeing this, Liu Wei couldn't help but smile and said: "Just now you asked for rewards in front of the battle, and what kind of prince and general are so arrogant, why can't you speak at this time?" ”

The young man raised his head suddenly, glared at Liu Wei and said, "Don't blame the eldest father, I can talk to you." ”

Liu Wei pointed lightly at the old man who was still kneeling and bowing to himself, and asked, "This person is your grandfather?" ”

The boy nodded.

"Your grandfather reprimanded you like this, and you still protect you like this, but you are also a dutiful young man." Liu Wei smiled calmly: "Although I, Liu Bian, am young, I am by no means a domineering person. ”

After that, he actually went to the old man in person, helped him up, and said: "Even if I am the prince, the elder does not have to bow down to me like this, I respect the elder and be filial, and if the elder behaves like this, I am afraid that my luck will be ruined somewhat." ”

The old man helped Liu Wei up, and when he heard his words, he immediately covered his face with his hands and thanked him.

Liu Wei ignored it again, returned to the young man, and said, "Are you willing to say it now?" ”

The young man's eyebrows soothed slightly, and he raised his head and said, "What does Your Highness want me to say?" ”

"Who taught you the so-called princely generals?"

"All the way south to the Central Plains, where do you need someone to teach these words?"

Liu Wei thought for a while, and immediately understood: "I am so stupid, and the words in it are naturally what you heard from those moth thieves, yes or no?" ”

"Since Your Highness understands it, why bother asking."

Liu Wei was speechless for a while, but because of these many soldiers standing beside him, although he was just a child, he couldn't deal with a small soldier as Sima or even a prince, so he immediately laughed and said: "I didn't think that you were a pawn, but I was quite a bit of an argument, what is your name?" ”

"Zhang Liao." The boy said calmly.
