Chapter 163: Dead Dao Friends Don't Die Poor Dao

Last time, it was said that Liang Xu helped Guan Yu train Zhang Fei's Zhuang Ding and Liu Bei's clansmen who came over yesterday, after a few days of training, Zhuang Ding was basically familiar with the formation and discipline, but the Zhuang Ding's force was still very poor.

This is also a matter of no way, most of the ancients were malnourished, physical fitness is definitely not good, the foundation is gone, no matter how to build the building above, the effect will not be too good. Although these young people are still developing, Liang Xu and they really can't buy so much meat to supply these villagers, it's not a matter of money, it's really not in the market. Because the people who can eat meat are large families, there are not many such people, so the share of the meat market is very small, and the low demand leads to very few farmers.

Liang Xu could only comfort himself with the other party's bird-like appearance, because he was too demanding.

Before noon, Zhang Fei sent the horse to Zhuangzi and handed it over to Guan Yu. Then he took Liang Xu back to the county seat non-stop and went to find Liu Bei.

Liu Bei came back to Liang Xu because he didn't know the bottom of the matter of recruitment, because the people at the bottom either sympathized with the Yellow Turban Army or feared the Yellow Turban Army, and money couldn't move them against these people.

Just as Liu Bei thought, after a morning, he only recruited two or three kittens, all of them were thin and weak, and I heard that they couldn't open the pot at home, and they needed to advance military salaries, and some simply took the clay pot for prayer and said that they wanted to enlist.

Liang Xu followed Zhang Fei to Liu Bei's stall, asked Zhang Fei to take Liu Bei's people to continue to stare at the stall, and pulled Liu Bei into a nearby alley.

Before Liu Bei could introduce Liang Xu to the recruitment situation, Liang Xu grabbed the topic first: "Big brother, you still don't want to continue recruiting troops here." It's useless, many of the people have received the favor of the Taiping Sect, if you want them to fight the Yellow Turban Army established by the Taiping Sect, how can they be willing to follow you? ”

Liu Bei frowned and said, "Ergou, those people are not from the Taiping Sect, right?" ”

Liang Xu asked rhetorically: "Do the people know?" Can they tell? ”

Liu Bei retorted: "The people also know that it was the Yellow Turban that slaughtered their village. ”

"But with the exception of the survivors of the villages, most of them are afraid of death, so they won't die."

Liu Bei wanted to argue again, but Liang Xu didn't let Liu Bei speak, and continued: "Actually, it's mainly because I don't want to send them to death. ”

Liu Bei was a little confused, and looked at Liang Xu quietly, waiting for his next step.

Liang Xu continued: "Let's just talk about the eldest brother, your clansmen and the third brother's Zhuang Ding, they have not received military training, and their physical fitness is not good, and they all have a dish. You've seen all of this, you can beat ten of them with one person, isn't it a food delivery when you let them go to war? ”

When Liu Bei heard this, his face changed, and he couldn't bear to let Zhang Fei's Zhuang Ding go to death, if Zhuang Ding died on the battlefield, he didn't know how to explain to Zhang Fei and Zhang's father.

Liang Xu saw that Liu Bei's face was wrong, and knew that he had gone too far, so he hurriedly comforted: "Big brother, you don't need to worry too much, the situation on the second dog's side is not much better than ours, although they should be from the army, but they have no discipline at all, and their physical fitness is not much different from the third brother's Zhuang Ding, you can still beat ten of them one by one." ”

Please support the author, please go to QQ Reading, Start Reading or any other website under China Literature to support the author, I am very grateful.

Liu Bei's brows were relaxed again.

Liang Xu said again: "But don't recruit any more recruits, the recruits you recruit are not as good as your clansmen." Soldiers are expensive but not too expensive. And we now have more troops than Ergou, almost two of them can beat one of them. ”

Liu Bei shook his head and said, "I haven't seen those soldiers of Ergou. But the soldiers I saw in Liu Taishou's Mansion were not as weak as you said, and if they faced my people, they would probably be able to fight four or five at a time. ”

"Big brother!" Liang Xu interrupted Liu Bei and said, "What you see on the Taishou Mansion is Liu Yan's private army, which he raised out of his own pocket, and those who guard the city gate are the local defenders of the imperial court, so they can't be confused." ”

Liu Bei thought of the guards at the city gate, and estimated that he could fight three or four of them, but it was not as exaggerated as his fourth brother said that one beat ten of them, so he said worriedly: "I can also beat four of them......"

Liang Xu interrupted Liu Bei again and said: "It's the example I gave that is inappropriate, those who guard the city gate have a city gate tax that can be subsidized, and their lives are quite nourishing, and their physical fitness will be stronger than other defenders." ”

Liu Bei reminded Liang Xu: "Ergou has robbed a lot of villages recently, their lives should be quite moisturizing, right?" ”

"This ......" Liang Xu thought of Ergou's sturdy figure, and he said a little unconfidently, "The days are still relatively short...... The effect should not be outstanding. ”

Liu Bei came to a conclusion: "Then, let's continue to recruit soldiers for my brother." ”

Although Liang Xu couldn't bear to send others to death, he was even more reluctant to send others to death himself, he had more soldiers and his own heart was more stable, so it was better to let others die. Liang Xu didn't stop Liu Bei from recruiting troops, but gave him advice: "Big brother, you go to a poor place in the city to recruit soldiers, and only they will be willing to enlist." ”

Liu Bei thinks about the kittens he recruited today, and the common characteristic is indeed poverty. Although they can indeed be recruited, the quality of these kittens is even worse than the worst of his people. It's just that Liu Bei's thoughts are similar to Liang Xu's, he has more soldiers and more courage.

After deciding, Liu Bei took Liang Xu's hand, returned to the stall, handed Liang Xu to Zhang Fei, and led the servants to the City God Temple to recruit troops.

Zhang Fei asked Liang Xu where he wanted to go.

Liang Xu thought that since he had returned to the city, he would first go to see if Liu Bei and Guan Yu's weapons had been ready.

When he arrived at the blacksmith shop, he found that the weapons were all ready, Zhang Fei tried the big knife designed by Liang Xu for Guan Yu himself, and felt that it felt okay, but he felt that it looked ugly, like a long stick inserted under a unilateral bladed iron plate.

Liang Xu was very dissatisfied with Zhang Fei's comments on the works he designed, but he himself felt super ugly, but he didn't admit defeat in his mouth, saying that the most important thing was that it was easy to use.

Zhang Fei shook his head and did not comment, because his martial arts are very different from Guan Yu's, and his shots are accurate, just like killing a pig, he must identify the opponent's weaknesses and stab to the end. So he didn't know what this iron plate was good for, could he use it as a fly swatter to swatt the other party to death?

After trying the second brother's big sword, Zhang Fei picked up Liu Bei's double sword again. I picked it up, shook my head and put it down.
