Anyway, early in the morning, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei began to investigate in the agreed way.

Many soldiers put on civilian clothes to find out the news.

"This big brother, why don't you go and become a soldier?" A soldier of Liu Bei was wearing ordinary clothes and asked a man who was working on the side of the road.

"What? Soldier? The man was stunned for a moment and then said with some excitement: "I want to be a soldier, I've always wanted to, but people don't want me, what can I do, I went three times, three times, but I didn't want me." ”

The man became excited, and continued: "If you don't want the main battle army, forget it, but the defending army doesn't want it either, and in the end you can't even mix the militia. ”

"This brother, don't you have anyone to ask for it, seeing that you want to be a soldier like this, it is estimated that Master Zhang doesn't want you. But don't be discouraged, Master Zhang said that working hard is also a support for him. ”

The man said a call that made him completely confused, I don't want anyone? I'm a soldier now, okay?

The soldier Liu Beidu said slowly: "This brother said with a smile, how can no one want you like this, look at you in your early thirties, you are in the prime of life, this body is thicker than me." ”

The man sighed and said: "You're right, I'm in my early thirties, at this age, Master Zhang absolutely doesn't want it, it's okay from seventeen or eighteen to twenty-three, forty-five, don't think about it beyond this range, and I already have a wife and children, and it doesn't meet the regulations." ”

Liu Bei's soldiers somewhat understood, and the emotional family was talking about Zhang Yu's army, and they didn't think about Liu Bei's army at all.

The soldier breathed a sigh of relief, then said tentatively, "Brother, aren't there other armies?" Do you see that Liu Xuande and Liu Gong are not recruiting? ”

As soon as the soldier finished speaking, his face, which had only been slightly excited, suddenly turned cold.

"Hmph, Liu Bei's army, you go and ask, there are a few who will go. That is Lord Zhang's enemy, who dares to attack us, if it weren't for Lord Zhang's refusal, the people of our whole city would have taken weapons and driven them out. ”

"As far as Liu Bei's army, who can look at it, someone received a settling-in fee yesterday, and that settling-in fee is not even one-tenth of Lord Zhang, which is much, much less than my farming for a year, which is also called settling-in fee."

"And Liu Bei is also called the army, looking at their appearance, even our militia can't compare, I said brother, people must have ambition, although I can't be Lord Zhang's soldiers, but other armies are shit in my eyes, and it is impossible to go to other armies if you die."

The man said a bunch of things that made the soldier dumbfounded.

What's the situation, they're all army shit?

was so disgusted.

The soldier didn't dare to continue, for fear that if he continued to speak, he would be exposed.

He hurried to another place to find out, and he somewhat understood what the problem was.

The income of the people here is high, and the little settlement fee given by Liu Bei is not looked down on at all.

Moreover, if you go to Zhang Yu to become a soldier, you will be able to get the corresponding land immediately, and your family can also be treated preferentially.

But Liu Bei's soldiers and horses have nothing but a settling-in fee, who will follow him.

Liu Bei's soldiers sighed infinitely in their hearts, but they didn't expect that the money given would be too little.

You know, this is a troubled time, and being a soldier is just to make a living.

But it seems that all the people here are soldiers not for food, but for honor, for other things.

Eat with a mouthful, in Jiangdong, here in Zhang Yu, as long as you are willing to work, you can do it, and you can't be a soldier.

This was just a problem he discovered alone, and at first he thought it was just an isolated case.

Many other soldiers have suffered similar problems.

"Liu Bei's army?"

"The military salary is so low, I heard that the food in the barracks is still garbage, who will go."

"My family has ten acres of land, and when the farm is slack, I work more and eat more than in the barracks, who will go to their army to suffer."

"Ah, when did Liu Bei belong to Lord Zhang, I didn't want me to join the army three times, I want to follow Lord Zhang to fight the world."

"Liu Bei, hurry up and get out of Jiangdong in the end, and when Lord Zhang comes back, there is nowhere to run."

"What? Participating in Liu Bei's army to fight Zhang, are you stupid. ”

All sorts of strange reasons, all sorts of contempt and swearing.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were also dumbfounded when they received the news from the soldiers below.

"This, this, how can this be, second brother, what's going on." Zhang Fei's brain is insufficient.

Guan Yu was also speechless, he thought of many reasons, but he didn't expect this to happen.

There are many people who dislike Liu Bei for being poor.

They dislike their settling-in expenses too little, they dislike their low military salaries, and they dislike the poor food in their barracks.

In this era, it is good to have something to eat, but it is disgusting, and many armies do not even have military salaries.

The places where Zhang Yu ruled have become rich, this is the mouth of the Yangtze River, there are more opportunities, and the reign is long, the people here are living very well, and they know the treatment in Zhang Yu's army.

You must know that being a soldier here in Zhang Yu is an incomparably glorious thing, and it is a matter of honoring the ancestors.

Being a soldier in someone else's place is selling your life or selling cheaply, and being a soldier here in Zhang Yu is extremely glorious.

It will be respected by everyone, including all the officials in Jiangdong, as well as all the people, and the family will also receive all kinds of preferential treatment.

In this way, others come here to recruit soldiers is simply looking for abuse.

And Liu Bei attacked here, if it weren't for the officials in Jiangdong who didn't allow it, let them not mess around, they would definitely drive Liu Bei out together at this time.

This difference, coupled with the state of the enemy, it is strange that Liu Bei and they can recruit soldiers and horses here.

Guan Yu was very uncomfortable, he didn't expect it to be such a situation.

At the same time, they are also thinking about whether it is right or wrong for them to occupy this place.

"Let's go, let's go to the eldest brother and report everything here to the eldest brother." Guan Yu sighed and said.

The two went out, got on the horse, and then headed in the direction of Liu Bei.

On the way, the two of them were very dull, although this Zhang Fei didn't understand so much, he also faintly felt as if he had done something wrong.

In the second half of the night, they rushed to the place and met Liu Bei.

"Second brother and third brother, why did you come so late, how is the recruitment situation? When will it be full? ”

The situation the next day, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had not yet reported to Liu Bei, because the two planned to come to Liu Bei in person after the investigation was clear.

The two of them didn't speak silently, and Liu Bei saw that the faces of the two people were not right, and realized that there might be a problem.

"Don't worry, two virtuous brothers, speak slowly."

Liu Bei took the two people into the room and poured some water for them himself.

Zhang Fei didn't speak, Guan Yu drank his saliva and told Liu Bei the matter as it was.

Liu Bei's face became darker and darker, and he was actually despised, despised by a group of people.
