Chapter 12: Who is the Candidate?

Xiao He still has to continue to be busy with his work, if there is nothing to do, Deng Yulong does not need to disturb him, before he is officially appointed as a general, it is Deng Yulong's free time.

In ancient times, there was no Internet and there was a lack of entertainment programs, so he asked Xiao He for some classic materials in order to understand the world more clearly, and at the same time, it could be regarded as passing the time.

In modern times, although you can learn about ancient times through the Internet and books in book purchase centers, after all, modern times only understand and analyze the situation of a certain period of ancient times through ancient book records and unearthed cultural relics, and what you can understand is relatively limited.

It's different when you're actually in this time and space, you can consult the books of this time, you can hear and see, you can experience it yourself, and you can understand more and more comprehensively than in modern times.

Deng Yulong selected a batch of bamboo slips and asked Wang Dahu to move to the desk in the bedroom.

Back in the bedroom, Wang Dahu finally couldn't help but be curious and asked, "General Deng, everyone calls you a general, but I don't know what kind of general you are." ”

There are many ranks of generals in the Han army, Deng Yulong has not yet officially joined the army, and many people only know that the king of Han treats him very well.

Deng Yulong smiled: "Do you think I am a general of that level?" ”

Wang Dahu scratched his head, hesitated for a moment and then said: "In the Han army, General Fan, General Zhou, General Lu, and General Cao have the highest military ranks, you just defected to the King of Han, it is impossible to be like them!" ”

Deng Yulong shook his head and said, "I guessed wrong, in less than half a month, you will naturally know." ”

Wang Dahu didn't want to ask again, he stacked all the bamboo slips, and said: "I really envy those generals who can lead their troops to gallop across the field." ”

Deng Yulong said casually: "What is there to envy, you may lose your head at any time in the war, be a squire and be safe." ”

Wang Dahu didn't say anything more, he couldn't help but say what he said just now.

Deng Yulong didn't pay much attention to this attendant, he looked at the futon behind the desk, even if this body can adapt to kneeling and sitting, but he is from modern times after all, adaptation is not the same as liking or getting used to it, and the height of the desk is about the same as the height of the modern chair, he simply sat on the desk with his buttocks, picked up the bamboo slip and read.

Looking at Deng Yulong like this, Wang Dahu was very surprised, but he was just a servant and didn't ask.

For two days after that, Deng Yulong was reading books, occasionally asking Hanzhong County officials about certain things.

In the past two days, Deng Yulong has gained a comprehensive understanding of the living customs of people in this time and space, the types of agricultural products, farming and breeding methods, output, scientific and technological conditions, medical standards, and life expectancy.

During this period, there were still many people who could not even solve the problem of food and clothing, the average life expectancy was only more than 40 years, and many modern minor diseases were terminal diseases in this era.

In the past few days, Liu Bang has been playing, sometimes hunting, sometimes going to the mountains and rivers.

Two days later, in the afternoon, the capital of the Han Kingdom was bustling with activity, and the southbound Han infantry and grain and grass baggage finally arrived in Nanzheng.

A small number of infantry entered the city, most of them camped in the open space outside the city, and a cart of grain and grass was transported into the city.

Liu Bang issued an order, and all the military generals gathered at the official office tomorrow to discuss major matters.

The next morning, all the generals came to the official office and walked towards the lobby.

Deng Yulong came out of the bedroom and strode towards the lobby.

When they walked to the door of the lobby, it happened that Fan Xu also walked here, and the two took a photo.

Looking at Fan Hao up close, he has a leopard head and ringed eyes, swallow jaws and tiger whiskers, and a beard, and his appearance is quite similar to Zhang Fei and Li Kui in film and television dramas.

Fan Hao glared at him, snorted and stepped into the lobby.

Not only Fan Xu, but several generals looked at him quite unkindly, because Deng Yulong was treated favorably by the King of Han, which made some people jealous and dissatisfied.

At four o'clock, all the people arrived, standing according to their status, Deng Yulong stood next to Xiao He.

Liu Bang said loudly: "Soldiers, Xiang Yu forced us to Hanzhong, this is our home, but this is only temporary, we will also fight back to Guanzhong and Peixian's hometown." ”

This is the pain in everyone's hearts, the emotions of the generals were suddenly mobilized, and everyone gritted their teeth, scolding Xiang Yu and expressing their hatred for Xiang Yu.

Deng Yulong did not speak, and watched coldly.

Liu Bang didn't stop it immediately, first let the generals vent their anger through their mouths, and after a while, everyone quieted down.

"As the saying goes, a snake can't be without a head, and it is necessary to appoint a military wizard to serve as a general and lead the Han soldiers to go out of Guanzhong, and the widow decided to go to the altar to worship the general and canonize the general five days later."

As soon as this remark came out, all the generals were surprised, and most of them asked themselves if the general could not be themselves.

The highest status in the Han army was Zhou Bo, Cao Shen, Lu Xuan, and Fan Xu, who had an upright temperament, and also felt that he could not be a general, and asked himself if he had the ability to command the three armies.

And the other three have a kind of mentality, will the general be himself?

The rest of the generals "know" that the future general must be one of the four, and among the existing generals, there are no people who are particularly capable of being outstanding, let alone having qualifications that cannot be compared with the four.

No one would think that Deng Yulong would be a general, although he had a plan to burn the plank road, the King of Han would give him a small strategist at most, and now he is standing next to Xiao He, many people think that Deng Yulong is a civil official.

Fan Hao first asked, "King Han, who is the general?" ”

Xiahou Ying said: "Is it General Zhou, General Cao, or General Lu?" ”

Guan Ying said: "Although it will be officially canonized in five days, please ask the King of Han to say it, and we can pay homage to the general first." ”

……

Many generals spoke, but Cao Shen, Lu Xuan, and Zhou Bo were silent, they all felt that it might be themselves, and they all wanted to become generals.

Finally, Xiao He said to the generals: "What the King of Han means is to wait for the generals to be on the altar five days later, and then announce the candidates for the generals. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Deng Yulong again.

Liu Bang said: "Prime Minister Xiao Cheng is responsible for the political affairs of the Han Dynasty, and the general is responsible for the affairs of the army. ”

After finishing speaking, Liu Bang left.

Dozens of generals continued to chat in the lobby.

Fan Xu, who was anxious, walked up to Xiao He, showed a sincere smile, and said in a low voice: "Prime Minister, who is the general set by the King of Han?" Can you tell Lao Fan first? ”

Xiao He is Liu Bang's most important person, and he thinks that Xiao He must know the inside story.

I only heard Xiao He say: "King Han didn't even say anything to me, and I also want to know who it is." ”

"Hey!" Fan Xu looked disappointed, glanced at Deng Yulong next to him without comment, and "snorted" again.

Looking at Fan Xu, and then at dozens of generals, Deng Yulong thought to himself, on the day of the altar to worship the generals, everyone will definitely be surprised, and some people will inevitably be unconvinced, and Fan Xu must be one of them.
