Chapter 19 Westward Journey to Yingchuan
Mi Fang was lying on the ground and humming in pain, Xu Chu gasped, and seemed to be still resentful, and the big copper bell rolled his eyes, wanting to add two more feet.
Suddenly heard a sound of 'Zla' behind him, Xu Chu's ears were sensitive and tight, and he heard it all at once...... It was the sound of a crossbow pulling its strings.
When he turned his head, he saw the potter holding a delicate little crossbow in his hand, sitting upright on the main seat, swaying from side to side, aiming at himself back and forth.
The crossbow is small, but it's too close to look scary.
The potter still looked like a humble gentleman, he nodded politely at Xu Chu, and said, "Xu Zhuangshi, kicked the chief general of our army in my handsome camp, is it too much?" ”
The horizontal flesh on Xu Chu's face trembled, as if he was quite angry, but he looked at the crossbow pointed to him in the potter's hand......
The power is definitely not as powerful as the big yellow crossbow, but in this small camp, it is quite troublesome to take a hit......
Forget it, those two feet will not be added.
"A certain family didn't deliberately look for him to be unlucky, who let this guy take advantage of the chaos to steal, teach him a lesson, and let him know how powerful a certain family is."
The Tao merchant said dissatisfiedly: "Xu Zhuangshi, it's not Tao who said that you're not, our grievances are put aside for the time being, I am a dignified Xuzhou official and army, and I don't sleep at night to help you pacify the thieves and protect your Xu Zhuang from the catastrophe...... Don't you feel like you owe me a thank you? ”
Xu Chu paused when he heard this, suddenly knelt down on one knee, arched his hand at the pottery merchant, and said: "Master Tao, although I, Xu Chu, am a reckless man, I also know that the eldest husband stands between heaven and earth, and there is a reason to repay kindness!" If it weren't for the help of the eldest prince last night, a whole village, I'm afraid that no one can survive, this kindness, this virtue, a certain family is difficult to repay in this life, grateful! ”
The potter put down his bow and crossbow, revealing a warm and cordial smile: "That's right, this is what we should say, now we are also colleagues and comrades-in-arms who have carried guns together, how can we fight and kill as soon as we meet, it seems that there is more life...... Hurry up. ”
Xu Chu pounced on the soil on his knees with his hand, and without waiting for the potter to help, he got up by himself and said, "What Master Tao said is that the original intention of a certain family when he came here was also to thank you...... Who would have thought that as soon as they saw this surnamed Mi, they would not be angry, and they would start in a trance...... Master Tao, if you send someone to beat dozens of military staff from a certain family, it can be regarded as giving General Mi a bad breath. ”
The potter shook his head and said, "Then how can I make my Tao family known as a gentleman in the world, how can I do such an unrighteous thing to my friend." ”
Mi Fang stood up with a hum at this time, and couldn't help but say angrily when she heard the words: "You are righteous to him...... Then I'm going to get this kick in vain? ”
Before he could finish speaking, he saw that Xu Chu's hand had already put on Mi Fang's shoulder, and a cruel smile appeared on his face: "Although General Mi has stolen a certain family's livestock three or four times, it is not appropriate for a certain family to suddenly make a move, otherwise, how many punches will the general beat back a certain family?" It can also be regarded as a family chatting to express their hearts. ”
Grandson!
Mi Fang scolded angrily in her heart, but she had to squeeze out a smile on her face that was more ugly than crying, and said: "As the saying goes, the first time you see strangers, you see each other again, we are all meeting for the third time, and we can be regarded as old acquaintances." Kick a kick, kick a kick, I can fight for a fist, a kick for a foot. ”
Xu Chu sneered: "Familiar, if you steal a certain family's livestock, you still have to pay compensation!" ”
Mi Fang looked at Xu Chu's big hand holding his shoulder, the fist like a sand bowl shook his head dizzily, and the smile on his face became stronger: "It's easy to say, who is our brother." ”
Mi Fang's performance is really eye-catching, so eye-catching that the potter can't stand it, and he interrupts his words.
"Xu Zhuangshi, Your Excellency's martial arts are outstanding, brave and powerful, it's a pity to be buried in the mountains, my father Tao Qian Tao Thorn History, known as a gentleman and benevolent and righteous, Brother Xu might as well come to our Xuzhou Army, with Brother Xu's skills, why worry about not becoming famous in the future?"
Xu Chu was silent for a while, and then said: "To be honest, although Xuzhou Tao Qian has the name of a gentleman, he does not have the appetite of a certain family...... However, Tao Dagongzi is my benefactor of Xu Zhuang, and I Xu Chu has nothing else to repay Tao Dagongzi, only this one life, or ...... It's just that there are two things that the eldest prince needs to rely on. ”
The potter's heart was very excited, and his joy overflowed: "What are the two things that Xu Zhuangshi wants to confirm?" ”
Xu Chu replied: "A certain family has to join the army with the clan soldiers in the village, is the eldest prince Tao full?" ”
The potter nodded heavily: "Your question is very pertinent...... No problem!! Xuzhou's grain and grass hoarding is quite abundant, and I can't starve you! ”
Xu Chu asked again: "A certain family works for the Tao prince, will he be able to survive in the future?" ”
The potter raised his hand and pointed at Mi Fang: "How does Xu Zhuangshi think of me, the commander of the three armies?" ”
Xu Chu squinted at Mi Fang, and two words burst out of his mouth: "Shit." ”
The potter nodded in agreement: "The shit is all out, what are you afraid of?" ”
When Xu Chu heard this, he arched his hand and said loudly: "In this case, a certain family has no two words, and I will return to the village later, fight the clan soldiers, and come to the account of the eldest prince Tao to listen to it!" In the future, the knife mountain is dangerous, and we will not give up! I also hope that the eldest son of Tao will not forget today's words! ”
The potter's heart was much more relaxed now, and he said happily: "If you have to allow a strong man to vote, the big thing will be done!" ”
Xu Chu said to Tao Shang again: "The eldest prince, there are less than 1,000 people who can enter the army with a certain family leading the soldiers of the Zhuangnei clan, but the remaining old and young people in the village have nothing to rely on in the future, I don't know if the prince can allow them to move into Xuzhou?" It's okay, but the worries of the men in the army. ”
The potter smiled: "There is no problem with this, I will take a letter of resignation and hand it to my father, and there will naturally be scheduling in Xuzhou." ”
Xu Chu was happy and said: "In this way, a certain family will be carefree!" ”
"There is one thing, I hope Brother Zhongkang can help me." The potter pondered for a moment and said, "The Yellow Turban Army that came here last time has a total of more than 4,000 people, and now I am not sure about the method of subduing these people...... Tao has never led soldiers, General Mi is also a shallow reader of military books, General Xu has led the militia for a long time, I don't know if there is any way? ”
Xu Chu said heartily: "This thing is difficult to say, but in fact it is also simple, most of the people of the Yellow Turbans are rogues, and they have become thieves because they have broken the way to survive. ”
After a pause, Xu Chu continued: "After ensuring that you have food, you can gradually rein in your heart, and you can divide the surrendered Yellow Turban Army into eight tuns, each with 500 people, with a husband commander, and then a hundred people under it, and 4,000 people and a captain, and supervise the production at all levels, so there is no big problem." ”
The potter looked at Xu Chu for a while, and suddenly said: "Our soldiers and generals in Xuzhou are all officers and soldiers, and the establishment and management methods are different from the militia...... Those captains and 100 captains are all selected from your clan's soldiers, how about it? ”
"This ...... Tao Gongzi, a certain family came to work for the first time, and Tao Dagongzi handed over this burden to me, it is a little hasty, how dare a certain family take on this heavy responsibility. Xu Chu never expected that he had just defected to the potter's command, and the potter would give him such a heavy burden...... More than 4,000 soldiers were all commanded by themselves, and this kind of courage and trust really made Xu Chu look down on the potters.
The potter patted Xu Chu on the shoulder and said: "Don't use suspicious people, don't doubt people, make the best use of their talents, if this army wants to integrate into our army in a short time, it can't rely on me or General Mi, and only Brother Xu can take on this important task, even if I ask Brother Xu for a favor!" ”
When it came to this, Rao is Xu Chu had a violent and fierce personality, and he couldn't help but be a little moved in his heart, and arched his hand: "Since the eldest prince is so wrongly loved, a certain family dares to disobey his fate!" ”
****************************
In the first year of the first peace, after the Xuzhou Western Expeditionary Army suppressed the Fuyun Yellow Turban Army, Xu Chu organized the soldiers of the clan under his command to join bravely.
According to Xu Chu's method, the potters divided the 4,000 Yellow Turban Army into eight tuns, handed them over to Xu Chu's command, and marched towards Yingchuan, where Kong Ling was located, after the soldiers and horses were prepared.
Yingchuan County is named after Yingshui, the county is eighteen, the governance is located in Yangzhai County, Yangzhai is the central city close to the southern edge of the Central Plains Zhucheng, is located in the transition zone between the remaining veins of Funiu Mountain and the East Plain of Yuzhou, known as the first capital of China, and was the capital of the Xia Dynasty, the first slave dynasty in the vast China.
From the Xia Dynasty to the Eastern Han Dynasty, after a long period of more than 2,000 years, Yingchuan has become a major cultural center in the interior of the Central Plains because of its long history and special long cultural continuity.
The private schools of the Han Dynasty were all over the Central Plains, but if they were the most prosperous, they were naturally dominated by Yingchuan!
Running a school is also the same as opening a vegetable market, like to gather together, celebrities and scholars are in Yingchuan to open a museum to accept apprentices, over time, a little famous or private everyone, also moved the private school here, it is really a hundred flowers blooming.
In this period, the celebrities who came out of Yingchuan Private School, the most prestigious ones are undoubtedly Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, etc.
Of course, these celebrities have basically graduated from private school, and it is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack if the potter wants to find these people in the huge eighteen prefectures and counties of Yingchuan, not to mention that they may not still be here...... Even if they stay here and the potters go to them, they may not necessarily urinate the potters.
Xu Chu's service was due to the common enemy of the Fuyun Yellow Turban Army by chance, and it was impossible for the pottery merchant to expect another Yellow Turban Army to come and attack the Yingchuan Academy and give him the opportunity to make friends with Yingchuan talents.
Where to search for the top strategists and generals, scattering the king's eight qi pretending to be geniuses, that is the lucky person who is shrouded in colorful auspicious clouds can do it, the potter is very practical, he has to solve the matter in front of his eyes.
There is only one thing to do in Yingchuan, and that is to find Yuzhou Assassin Shi Kong Ling...... Let's see if we can get him to help solve the food problem.
After all, as Mi Fang said before, the addition of the Yellow Turban Army and the children of the Xu Chu clan is more than 5,000 mouths for eating out of thin air.
