Chapter 12: Candidates for Lieutenants
Chen Gong rubbed his eyeballs, looked at them carefully, and said in surprise: "The lord is right, this person is indeed a woman." Strange, why did women also come to join the army, didn't she know that only men could join the army? ”
Lu Bu said: "Of course she knows, otherwise she wouldn't be a woman dressed as a man." ”
"How can this be justified, I will send someone to drive her out."
"There's no hurry."
Lu Bu stopped Chen Gong and said: "People disguise themselves as men and want to join the army, it can be seen that there are reasons why they have to join the army, and there are hardships as a last resort, so why should we be that wicked person?" Let her join the army, and see if she can hide it from the soldiers in the army. ”
"Huh? Lord, this.... ”
"Why, am I not good at talking?"
"Of course you can talk, but it's the rule. How can you let a woman join the army? ”
"Why not? I think she has extraordinary strength and is not inferior to the generals in the army. Lu Bu smiled and said: "Besides, I'm also curious, can a woman join the army and make contributions like a man?" ”
Chen Gong rolled his eyes.
In fact, Lu Bu has not yet figured out how to deal with the relationship with Fan Lihua, since the other party has no intention of revealing his identity, then he will plan and arrange Fan Lihua in the military camp. It also gives him enough time to understand and come up with a way to deal with it.
Otherwise, if you rashly come forward to recognize each other and do not handle the relationship between the two people well, it is very likely that you will lose this general.
This is one of the four great heroines of ancient China, who is proficient in the art of war, tactics, strange arts, and martial arts, if you really can't keep it, the consequences will be serious.
Lu Bu and Chen Gong stood in place and watched for a long time, and only after Fan Lihua registered in the army did they leave slowly.
Back in the middle of the school field, Gao Shun had already selected two hundred loyal men, and the rest of the soldiers were disbanded, leaving only the two hundred people standing in place, waiting for Lu Bu's admonition.
Lu Bu glanced at it and asked Gao Shun, "These people.... Are they all Xiliang veterans? ”
"It's not."
Gao Shun shook his head and said, "They are the original state army, they have followed the lord since ten years ago, and they are the most reliable and loyal in the whole army. ”
Lu Bu took a closer look and found that the youngest of these people standing in front of him was thirty years old, and the oldest had a white beard, no less than fifty-five years old.
Lu Bu said with relief: "Okay, with these loyal people, you won't be able to cure Xuzhou." ”
"Gao Shun."
"Yes."
Lu Budao: "Register them, according to their usual performance, age in the army, combat exploits, etc., they will be divided into three, six, nine and so on, and six more people will be selected from them, and I will be entrusted with important tasks!" ”
"No."
Gao Shun is very familiar with these people. It's been an old relationship for more than ten years. He immediately called six people out and said, "Lord, these people are the ones who have been in the army for the longest time and have made the most meritorious contributions. ”
"Okay."
Lu Bu nodded and said, "Come with me." ”
After two quarters of an hour, arrive at the study.
Lu Bu asked everyone to sit down, and asked someone to serve tea.
It was the first time they had received such courtesy, and the soldiers were trembling and confused. Holding the tea bottle in his hand, he said excitedly: "The lord is too polite, if you have anything to order, I will not give up." ”
"Who told you to die?"
Lu Bu smiled bitterly and said, "Didn't you make it clear in the school field just now, I want to entrust you with a heavy responsibility!" ”
"The current Xuzhou, although it is superficially attached, but the big families still have illusions about Liu Bei, I will send you to the counties, serve as the county lieutenant, and watch those restless people for me."
"It is our honor to be able to share the worries of the Lord." The soldiers were very excited. They have been in the army for more than ten years, although they have made countless meritorious contributions, but they have not been too many officials, and when they were in Bingzhou before, they also served as captains for a few days, but since they followed Lu Bu to Dong Zhuo, they were completely suppressed by the Xiliang Army, and their official ranks could not go up. Now Lu Bu finally remembered them again, from the rank of chief and chief of the army, he was directly promoted to the rank of county lieutenant!
Lieutenant, this is a great officer with military power.
Chen Gong brought pen and ink bamboo slips and registered them for everyone.
"My lord, this is their name." Chen Gong handed over the bamboo slip.
Lu Bu glanced at it and almost didn't squirt out the tea. Of the six names, none of them are good. What cow eggs, Yang Baba, pig Sanshun... A whole bunch of messes.
If such a name is spread, won't it laugh off the big teeth of all forces?
Lu Bu coughed lightly twice and said, "Eh... Ladies and gentlemen, your name... It's too ordinary, how about I get one for you? ”
Everyone looked at each other, and they all arched their hands and said, "Please give the Lord a name." ”
Lu Budao: "Okay, I'll give you the surname Lu." In the future, he will be the most loyal and trustworthy person in my Lu Bu. As for the name, choose from the six words 'loyalty, filial piety, righteousness, etiquette and honesty'. How is it? ”
"How do you choose this?" The crowd was puzzled.
"Won't choose? I'll teach you. ”
Lu Bu asked them to stand in a row, and in order, they handed out the six words, and said: "Your name is Lu Zhong, your name is Lu Xiao, and your name is Lu Jie..." "I shouted them one by one.
The soldiers finally understood that Lu Bu wanted them to remember that loyalty, filial piety, righteousness, courtesy, righteousness and shame. Suddenly, everyone straightened their backs and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I won't let my lord down." ”
"Okay."
Lu Bu took the talismans of each county, handed them to them with his own hands, and said, "Everyone, please! ”
"I am willing to serve the lord and serve the dogs and horses!"
The crowd shouted loudly with excitement.
"The lord's trick is really clever, I believe that in the future, they will sincerely do things for the lord, and there will be no dissent." Sending the six people away, Chen Gong returned to the study and said.
"But they have never led troops, and I don't know if they have the ability to command a large army."
"Don't worry, my lord, I will let General Gao Shun teach them. When they have almost learned something, send them to the counties. ”
"That's very good."
After finalizing the selection of the county lieutenant, Lu Bu also breathed a sigh of relief, as long as these six people did not rebel, there would be no major events in the counties. As for the appointment of the county guards and county orders, Lu Bucai didn't bother to take care of it, and handed it all over to Chen Gong.
All he is thinking about now is how to subdue Fan Lihua and Xiao He, this is the most important thing at the moment!
Finally, after waiting for three days, Lu Bu received news that a man who claimed to be Diao Chan's father went to Xiaopei City and was captured by the enemy troops stationed in Xiaopei.
"What? Caught?! ”
Lu Bu was so anxious that he hurriedly found Zang Ba and Hou Cheng, and ordered: "Quickly go to the school field and order 5,000 soldiers, I will go to Xiaopei again!" ”
