Chapter 33: The Yellow Turban is not afraid of 10,000 people
In the next four days, Liu Tao sent Zhang Fei and Guan Yu to rotate to help Zou Jing deal with the conscription.
At the same time, he personally organized the non-commissioned officers to conduct drills, from the most basic officer selection and formation, to standing and walking in unison, as well as left, right, backward and other skills, he demonstrated to Zou Jing one by one.
Just yesterday, he had already worked with Lu Yan, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in the Zhuangzi peach orchard, preparing incense cases, sacrifices, bathing and changing clothes, and burning incense offerings to the heavens: "Reading Liu Tao, Lu Yan, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, although they have different surnames, they are brothers, and they work together to save the poor and help the needy; Report to the country, under An Lishu. I don't want to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but I want to die on the same day and month of the same year. The emperor and the queen of heaven, learn from this heart, betray righteousness and ingratitude, and kill heaven and man together! ”
Liu Tao is twenty-three years old and is the eldest brother. Lu Yan is a few months younger than Liu Tao and is the second brother. Guan Yu is one month younger than Lu Yan and is the third. In the end, Zhang Fei was nineteen years old and could only be the fourth child obediently. Of course, Guan Yu changed from the second master to the third master, and Liu Tao was somewhat awkward.
When I think about it, I don't think there's anything wrong with it...... Since he traveled through this era, the world line has changed! The four of them became brothers with different surnames, and since then they have lived and died together, shared wealth and hardship, and the relationship between the earliest mutual use naturally disappeared......
"Sun and Wu, the two masters of the art of war, when it comes to the way of military training, is nothing more than sitting up, stopping and acting, left and right, front and back, dividing and merging and knotting and solving. Now that I see Deran training like this, I understand the mystery. Zou Jing looked at the recruits in front of him at this moment, and nodded again and again, it is this kind of basic thing, but not everyone can know it, and not everyone can do it well.
"That's what the lowly will do, just don't be laughed at by the general." Liu Tao hurriedly replied.
His appointment has been formalized, Liu Yan knew the identity of his Han clan relatives, and Zou Jing recommended him, so he recruited him as Sima of other departments, directly belonging to Liu Yan, but his status is slightly lower than Zou Jing, and he is not a general, so he is not called a subordinate, but a humble position.
"For recruits, these foundations are the most important thing. The method of fighting is still too far away from them, but it's a pity that Deran can't stay, otherwise I can make it easier. Zou Jing sighed, Liu Tao was scheduled to leave yesterday, but he left him for another day, and after today, he was going to lead the army to go on the expedition, and there was no way to continue to help him.
"In life, we should restrain ourselves with loyalty, filial piety, and faithfulness. Since Tao had already promised others to escort him back to Zhongshan County, how could he not keep his word? If the thieves are huge and there are signs of going north to Youzhou, it is better to come to report as soon as possible, so as not to be caught off guard. When Liu Tao heard this, he immediately said the excuse he had prepared.
"Ha, if you make a contribution on the battlefield and become developed, don't forget Zou!" Zou Jing teased.
"Certainly, it must be ......" Of course Liu Tao will not take it seriously, this Zou Jing followed Liu Yan to Yizhou in the future, that is the real Feihuang Tengda, naturally he does not need to carry him.
Before leaving in the afternoon, I had to take a look inside the recruits. Mainly looking at a certain tun, Liu Tao didn't expect that because of his own relationship, Liu Bei also won the favor of Zou Jing, and was directly promoted to the commander of the tun when he joined the army, and he had a hundred recruits under his jurisdiction.
Liu Bei called friends again, and recruited more than a dozen rangers into the team, and for a while, he was the strongest in the whole army! So with this result, Zou Jing attached more importance to him, and seemed to plan to promote him to the military after a while, with 500 recruits under his command.
This Liu Bei is still going to make a career in the end...... Liu Tao sighed for a moment, then turned to leave.
Even if it is a temporary military candidate, his status is not as good as that of another department, but considering the historical trajectory of this person, this development is really not a good sign.
"Is it because of his identity...... Liu Tao sighed, changing his individual identity, he could kill Liu Bei before he made a career. But it was Liu Deran who crossed through, and many things became embarrassing.
But with a different identity, can Zhang Fei obediently marry himself? Obediently pay to form a militia group? What he values is nothing more than his identity as a 'Han clan relative', at least at the beginning!
changed to a few people, Mu was stunned and ran to use distillation technology and Zhang Fei to bet that it was possible for others to kill themselves and take the technology for themselves. In this era, we can't underestimate the simplicity of others, let alone underestimate the sinister nature of the world!
Back on Zhuangzi's side, the soldiers had already made the final preparations, and everyone seemed to know that they were going to leave tomorrow, so they began to pack their bags. The busiest are still the baggage troops, they have to load the supplies, and at the same time check for any omissions, it is estimated that it will be very late tonight before they can rest.
"Brother, why do you need to prepare two carts of Jiuxian Brew?" When Zhang Fei met Liu Tao, he had to step forward to ask. There were more than 50 bottles in a car, hundreds of bottles in the car, and most of the inventory in the cellar was gone.
Coupled with the part purchased by Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang, Zhuojun may not be able to drink the Jiuxian brew in June in the past two months.
"These two cars of wine, I have my own wonderful use, if you use it properly, I can't say that the Zhang family can go further!" Liu Tao smiled when he heard this, "If it is operated properly, you can't say that you are a wine immortal, but it will become a tribute!" ”
Tribute was collected from all over the country, and the items that were paid tribute to the Imperial Palace, and the freight and cost were naturally provided by the producers themselves. But in the same way, how many people wish that their things become tribute, because in this era, tribute is just a signboard, and if it is not the best, it cannot get this title.
Zhang Fei naturally understands that if this Jiuxian brew becomes a tribute, then let alone Zhuojun, I am afraid that businessmen from all over the country will flock to Zhuoxian County and squander thousands of dollars to get a bottle of Jiuxian liquor in June. He had also had this plan, but there was no way!
"Really?" So after listening to Liu Tao's words, he was suddenly excited, and at the same time suffered some gains and losses, "Then it should also wait for the cellar to come out for a year, and then operate!" ”
"I can't wait for time, and if I don't take advantage of this opportunity, I can't function. In addition, the cellaring year is too different, and the quality of the wine is a little different from year to year. When the time comes, Your Majesty will drink it, feel different from last year, and lose your temper, what should I do? Therefore, the rules of tribute have always been the best to keep oneself, and those who produce energy will pay tribute to the palace, which is just right in June! Liu Tao hurriedly explained.
Just like in later generations, the top red robes were enjoyed by the tea merchants themselves, and the inferior ones were paid tribute to the imperial court. The emperor thought that he had drunk the best red robe, but he didn't want the best, and he never enjoyed it.
"It turns out that there is still this exquisiteness, thanks to my brother's reminder, otherwise I am afraid that Fei will make a big mistake!" Zhang Fei was stunned when he heard this, but after thinking about it, he felt that it made sense, and hurriedly thanked him.
He really planned to give it to Luoyang after a while, that is, when the good wine that had been cellared for a year came out, to see if he could mix a tribute, with this golden signboard, the Zhang family could prosper even if he was not there.
But as soon as Liu Tao said that, he knew that this tribute was also risky and exquisite, and thanks to knowing it in advance, otherwise something would really happen, and it would be too late to redeem it.
As for Liu Tao, he also has a plan, that is, to take advantage of Zuo Feng's inspection to see if he can secretly build a good relationship, it is always good to have one more way, otherwise Lu Zhi will be imprisoned, and it is estimated that he will be very hanging!
"Report!" Just when he was talking to Zhang Fei in detail, a scout came to report, "There is a Yellow Turban army, attacking Zhuo County!" ”
