Liu Yan, the assassin of Youzhou, saw the emperor's edict and discussed with the school captain Zou Jing, Zou Jing said: "I am outnumbered by thieves, and the Ming Duke should recruit troops quickly." Liu Yanran said that the counties under the rule of the list of Wenxing.
Bangwen went to Zhuo County, Zhuo County, a young man with big ears looked at Bang Wen, shook his head and sighed, and a person behind him shouted, "The big husband doesn't get rid of thieves for the country, why do you act as a woman?" Liu Bei looked at the person behind him, and saw that the person was more than a foot tall, with a swallow-jawed tiger beard, a leopard's head and eyes, and his voice was slightly weaker than a giant thunder, and his momentum was slightly worse than a galloping horse. Liu Bei was overjoyed, bowed his hand, and said, "I don't know the name of the strong man? The man said: "My name is Yan Ming, no word, passing by Zhuo County, I saw the list of texts, I want to go to join the army." Liu Bei couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw the other party's strong body, and took Yan Ming's hand and said: "Under Liu Bei, the cursive character Xuande, is a member of the Han family, after King Jing of Zhongshan, if you are interested in breaking the thief, Brother Yan will help me?" Yan Ming was overjoyed, he traveled thousands of miles, wandered in the rivers and lakes, and finally met a Han clan relative, how could he let it go, and agreed to come down immediately. Liu Bei took Yan Ming's hand and came to the tavern, first drank a few glasses to exchange feelings, the two were drinking, discussing how to recruit troops, a big man walked into the tavern, patted the counter of the tavern, and shouted: "The store quickly prepares food and drinks, I will go to join the army after eating." Liu Bei turned around and saw that the man was nine feet tall, his face was black and red, and a beard was sprinkled on his chest. The man lifted his eyelids and said, "I am Hebei Wenchou." Liu Bei said cautiously: "If you have the heart to break the thief, can Brother Wen help?" Wen Chou looked at Liu Bei, and his heart was abrupt, but he was a little white face, he turned his head and saw Yan Ming, and said in his heart Good guy, taller than me, it is estimated that the combat power is not bad, this big man has mixed up with him, it is estimated that this guy with big ears has two hits, nodded and said, "Okay." Liu Bei was overjoyed, let the store have more beef wine, drinking tasteless wine, suddenly remembered Liu Ze's burning knife, and sighed in his heart, which is wine, it is boiled water, if one day I soar and drink burning knives every day.
After the three of them finished drinking, Liu Bei said: "My former friend Zhang Fei went to Liaodong to join the army, leaving a peach orchard, the peach blossoms are blooming, tomorrow is a good day and auspicious day, I and the other three of us pray for heaven and earth in the peach orchard, become brothers of the opposite sex, and share wealth with thieves, how about it?" Yan Ming and Wen Chou nodded in agreement. The three of them finished worshipping, recruiting troops and buying horses, but unfortunately Liu Bei's family background is too thin, Yan Ming and Wen Chou are also penniless, when Liu Bei is helpless, suddenly there are Zhongshan businessmen Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping came, it turned out that the two of them went back and forth to sell horses from the north and south, and recently because of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the road was blocked and could not be made. Liu Bei agitated like a spring, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping admired it, and immediately agreed to give 50 good horses, 1,000 taels of silver, and 1,000 catties of iron. Liu Bei was overjoyed, thanked the two, and ordered the blacksmith to build weapons. Liu Bei finally gathered 300 people, and Liu Bei, Yan Mingwen, and the three of them led the team to see Liu Yan without mentioning it.
Liaodong County Mansion, Liu Ze received an edict from the imperial court, knowing that the Yellow Turban Rebellion had finally come, and he still remembered this year, it was 184 AD, and the time difference between the previous chaos finally reversed. Liu Zedu of the five counties of military affairs, can not sit idle, taking advantage of the warm spring, with Xu Chu Dianwei, Guo Jia began to inspect the counties, no matter the political affairs, the military must be managed, Taizu said: The power comes out of the barrel of the gun. I can't forget the teachings.
Lelang County is located in the southeast of Liaodong, and the Yellow Turban cannot be affected, that is, the Yellow Turban Army is coming, and it has to pass through Liaodong first, so Liu Ze went to Changli County first. Changli County guarded Yang Zhai's military power was taken away, and the boss in his heart was pimpled, Liu Ze came, and he was afraid of Liu Ze's military exploits, so he didn't dare not go to greet him, after all, people not only had outstanding military achievements, but also the Han clan, and Yang Zhai had to be on the pole to tie the knot. Liu Ze went to the Changli military camp accompanied by Yang Zhai, the soldier of the military camp Cao Yang Wei is Yang Zhai's younger brother, at this time he was gambling with a group of people, shouting five and drinking six, hearing outside the tent, Liu Ze was furious, his face was not good-looking, Yang Zhai looked bad, how did he know that this Liu Ze acted so vigorously, he was ready to take the wind first and then inspect, and he didn't say hello to this younger brother, who knew that he met a group of officers to gamble.
Liu Ze didn't speak, walked to the big tent of the Chinese army, ordered Xu Chu to beat the drum and gather the generals, and the five hundred elite soldiers brought by Liu Ze were divided into the big tent. The drum sounded, Yang Wei, the military commander, was inexplicable, and a group of officers who accompanied the gambling said: "Bing Cao, who is so bold that he dares to beat the drum and gather generals?" Yang Wei threw away the gambling cards and said, "Go, take a look, let me know who it is, I can't spare him." A large group of officers slowly came to the big tent of the Chinese army, and when they saw this formation, they were startled, and hurriedly walked into the tent, Yang Wei looked up, and met his brother who slammed his eyes at him, and looked at Liu Ze, I don't know it, Yang Zhai shouted: "I am ordered to supervise the military affairs of the five counties of Liaodong, Liu Ze and Lord Liu have arrived, and you still don't want to go forward to worship?" Yang Weixin said, "Mom, why is this lord here?" Liu Ze's prestige has already spread all over Youzhou and even all over the Han Dynasty, Yang Wei's legs trembled, and he knelt on the ground, "Cao Yang Wei, a lowly Changli soldier, see Ming Gong." "Those low-level officers were also busy signing up to pay homage when they saw it. Liu Ze snorted coldly: "Yang Bing Cao, what is the crime of gathering people to gamble in the barracks?" "This?" Yang Wei snorted, not that he didn't know, but he didn't dare to say it. "Fengxiao, tell me, the military discipline of the Han Dynasty, what should be the crime of gambling in the military camp?" "Yes, the military discipline of the Han Dynasty, the military camp gambling, the chief officer is beheaded, and the official cane spine is fifty." Yang Zhai couldn't stand still, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "Ming Gong, it's all to blame the lower officials for not being strict with Yang Wei and the others, please Ming Gong bypass them once, if you commit it again, it's not too late to kill them again." "If you commit it again, will Lao Tzu give you a chance to do it again? If you come here, you want to have military power, since you have the opportunity, how can you let it go, and Yang Zhai Yang Wei has no image in his mind, so if he kills it, he will kill it. Liu Ze said coldly: "Yang Gong, you are also the guardian of a county, and my Han law is equivalent to child's play?" Yang Zhai was speechless, and Liu Ze said: "Come on, drag Yang Wei out and behead!" The rest of the participants in the gambling gathering, each with a spine of fifty. "Who is Yang Wei, my brother is too guarded, he is used to showing off his martial arts on weekdays, where is he willing to swallow this breath, his arms shook, and shouted loudly: "In my military camp, who dare I see?" Liu Ze laughed, "Your military camp? Isn't it my Dahan barracks? Escort out, chop. Yang Wei jumped like thunder, shouting out to the pro-soldiers outside the tent, Xu Chudianwei stood at the door of the tent, and there was a pro-soldier who dared to move. Suddenly, Yang Wei's head fell to the ground, and Yang Zhai sat on the ground, why was he so unlucky, he wanted to have more eyes, and he would not be like this if he informed Yang Wei in advance. Look at the execution, more than a dozen military attaches were beaten half to death, and they had to come in to thank Liu Ze for not killing, Liu Ze said: "Changli is located on the border, and the soldiers will shoulder the important task of protecting the peace and tranquility of my Han people. Xu Chu listened to the order and ordered you to lead 200 elite cavalry, Ren Changli soldiers, rectify military discipline, and strictly practice, without mistakes. Xu Chu was overjoyed to receive the order.
Liu Ze left Xu Chu, he had no bottom in his heart, he didn't know if this reckless man could do a good job, and discussed with Guo Jia, Guo Jia also had no bottom in his heart. Liu Ze sighed secretly, there were too few people under him. Although Yang Zhai was killed by his younger brother, he was sad to death, but he still had to pretend to be and deal with Liu Ze. After transferring a few military camps, Liu Ze said goodbye and wanted to go to Liaoxi, but unexpectedly, an urgent report of 800 miles came. It turned out that Lu Zhi attacked Zhang Jiao and was framed by Zuo Feng for not doing his best, and Emperor Ling of Han was furious, sent a car to Beijing, deposed Lu Zhi, and ordered the deputy general Zong Yuan to preside over the military. Emperor Ling intended to let Dong Zhuo succeed Lu Zhi, but Taiwei Zhang Wen said: "Dong Zhuo is located in Xiliang, which is even farther away than Liaodong. Liu Hong was overjoyed and said: "The captain didn't mention it, he almost made a mistake, and sent an edict to Liaodong, ordering Liu Ze to speed his troops and horses to Jizhou and exterminate Zhang Jiao.
