0134: Liu Bei arrives
Guangzong, just a few days after Li Yi left, a force of nearly 10,000 people arrived in Guangzong. The appearance of this army undoubtedly attracted all the attention of the officers and soldiers and the Yellow Turban Army, because since Li Yi left, the city of Guangzong was as quiet as if it were a backwater.
"Liu? Could it be the princes and kings? However, the Han court seems to not allow the princes and kings to leave the fiefdom, ah......" Zhang Jiao stood on the city wall, looked at the banner strangely, and muttered to himself.
On the other side, Lu Zhi, the commander of the officers and soldiers, was directly stunned, and at the same time scolded wildly in his heart. He didn't know that this army belonged to the princes and kings of that road, but now that he led the army to leave the fiefdom and come here, no matter what the purpose, he would definitely be held accountable and punished by the court after the war, and it could even be said that it would be the best result for this old man to retain the throne at that time.
But what about Lu Zhi? At that time, Lu Zhi said that he had nothing to do with this prince and king, who would believe it?! Lu Zhi can imagine that when the class teacher returns to the court, he may be taken away and imprisoned directly by the imperial court at the city gate. Yes, the requirements for princes and kings in this era are so strict.
It's just that although he was angry, Lu Zhi had to greet him in person, after all, no matter what the system is, people are also princes and kings.
But when that army got closer and closer to the barracks, Lu Zhi was dumbfounded, because the first person was not his former bastard disciple Liu Bei, who was it?! He remembered very clearly that this Liu Bei was always not good at studying when he was under his door, and every day he either wooed his classmates, or made friends with heroes in Zhuo County under his own name. Hate Lu Zhi's teeth. If it weren't for Nian Qi being a descendant of the Liu family, and he was indeed talented and intelligent, Lu Zhi would have kicked him out a long time ago.
"Disciple Liu Bei, meet your teacher!" When this army was less than 100 meters away from the barracks, Liu Bei suddenly got off his horse, walked quickly in front of Lu Zhi and bowed his head.
In a word, many of the generals who came with Lu Zhi were immediately dumbfounded.
"Not the princes?"
"Is it a disciple of General Lu Zhonglang?"
"Liu Bei? I've never heard of it......"
Feeling the commotion of the people behind him, Lu Zhi suddenly helped Liu Bei up with a wry smile, "Liu Xuande, Liu Xuande!" You kid really haven't changed at all! "How did he not know Liu Bei's careful thoughts? After all, I have been with him for so long in the past, and I really know Liu Bei too well.
In Lu Zhi's view, Liu Bei's actions were just because he was worried that he would be a down-and-out descendant of the Liu family when he first arrived, which would make many generals not treat him very well. And now that they worship like this, no matter what their hearts are, how can they give Lu Zhi face on the surface, right?
Of course, these are just what Lu Zhi thinks, in the eyes of others, Liu Bei is nothing more than a little too excited to see his mentor who he hasn't seen for a long time. Even many people appreciate Liu Bei's attitude, after all, the way of respecting teachers is very particular in this era.
Hearing Lu Zhi's somewhat mocking tone, Liu Bei's face did not change in the slightest, and he still said respectfully, "Teacher, after hearing the news of the Yellow Turban thieves, the disciple was restless day and night, but he never knew what to do. Later, I heard that the teacher was ordered to crusade against the Yellow Turban thieves, so the disciple hurriedly summoned the village warriors and came to vote with a cheeky face, hoping to help the court pacify the thieves as soon as possible, and not to dishonor the surname left by the ancestor to the disciple. ”
In the end, Liu Bei's tone carried a trace of self-blame and grief and indignation, and everyone behind Lu Zhi was a little infected by it. And that Lu Zhi, while listening, looked at the disciple who was kneeling on one knee in front of him, and from his expression, Lu Zhi could only see sincerity and regret.
It wasn't until he finished speaking that Lu Zhi sighed, "Xuande, you have a heart!" Lu Zhi didn't know if Liu Bei really thought so, after all, Liu Bei didn't give him a very good impression before. But now, not to mention anything else, just because Liu Bei came all the way from Zhuo County, Youzhou to join him, this heart is much stronger than many people who can only speak well!
After speaking, Lu Zhi helped Liu Bei up, and then looked at the army of 10,000 people behind him with some confusion and asked, "Xuande, although you said that you were recruiting Xiangyong, but these people ...... Isn't it too much? ”
This doubt is obviously also the doubt of the generals behind Lu Zhi, because Liu Bei's army of 10,000 people is too much. Where can we recruit so many people? And it's still a white body recruiting. Speaking of which, the reason why Lu Zhi, Zhang Jiao and others thought that it was the princes and kings who came was because of the number of this army. And looking at their equipment, it seems that they are quite complete......
Hearing Lu Zhi's words, Liu Bei hurriedly replied, "Hui Enshi, Bei Yu recruited about a thousand warriors in Zhuo County, and defeated several Yellow Turban thieves along the way, among which there were many poor people who were forced to join, so Bei took matters into the team privately......
"Hmm...... Xuande's approach, although there are some Meng Lang, is also benevolent and righteous. Lu Zhi nodded and said, and then motioned for Liu Bei to bring the troops into the barracks.
Watching these troops continue to march into the barracks, Lu Zhi nodded again, because he could see from the march of these troops that Liu Bei was not just temporarily recruited to increase the number of troops, but a selection of strong soldiers.
Subsequently, Lu Zhi gave Liu Bei an official position in the army, although Liu Bei brought 10,000 people, but after all, he was a newcomer, and Lu Zhi could not give him too high an official position. And in this regard, Liu Bei naturally will not have any objections.
It's just that after learning about the current situation, Liu Bei felt more helpless. He defected to Lu Zhi in the hope of establishing a career at such a time, and taking this as an opportunity to gradually restore the glory of his ancestors. It's just obvious that now in Guangzong, he doesn't seem to be able to get what he wants.
However, Liu Bei did not show this, but practiced the 10,000 troops with Zhang Fei every day, and at the same time befriended many generals and Simas with the title of Lu Zhi's disciple. I have to say that Liu Bei's communication skills, even Lu Zhi has to admire, you must know that none of his subordinates are good at stubble, and the reason why Li Yi was able to integrate quickly in the past was because of the aura of the champion Hou, as well as the various achievements that had already been passed along the way.
And Liu Bei, Bai Body, and the descendants of the Liu family have such a natural alienated aura, plus the record is far less than Li Yi, but it is also a great ability to integrate into everyone so quickly.
On the other side, Zhang Jiao stopped paying attention to the troops under the banner of Liu after they entered the barracks. After all, for him, since he didn't plan to go out of the city to fight with the officers and soldiers, it didn't make a difference whether there were 80,000 or 90,000 people besieging Guangzong City.
