Chapter 021: Expedition
Since the grain, grass and equipment had been prepared, and the war was indeed tight, Lu Peng nodded lightly to Liu Bei and agreed to send troops.
Liu Bei immediately slapped the horn on his chest: "Don't worry, my lord, since Taishou has such a thoughtful arrangement, we should not push back and hinder, the state affairs are big, please wait for a while, my four brothers, immediately point up Xiangyong, and then meet Lord Taishou with the adults." ”
Guan Yi nodded again and again at that time and praised Liu Bei's righteousness, this is the person who is truly loyal to the country.
So Guan Yi stood up and said: "Since Xuande Gong is so anxious for justice and righteousness, I shouldn't sit here, and allow me to follow Xuande Gong to the competition to see the 500 tigers under Xuande Gong." ”
This proposal was immediately welcomed by Liu Bei's hands, this is the time for him to show his face, how can he give up this opportunity to show his face easily? Show your strength and lay a solid foundation for yourself to be more valued in other townspeople in the future, how can you give up this opportunity?
With the sound of rumbling drums, 500 villagers who were resting everywhere immediately heard the drums, dressed as fast as they could, and then grabbed their weapons and ran like a threshing floor, when the second drum sounded, these soldiers had already begun to look for their squads, holding the number and began to form a team, when the local three-way drum sounded, 500 soldiers lined up in five neat phalanxes on the threshing floor.
500 soldiers stood on the threshing floor, lined up in a neat horizontal and vertical phalanx, all of them looked at the platform, did not talk to each other, did not shake their bodies, and an invisible murderous aura rose up in the sky above this small team.
Guan Yi actually has no interest in Liu Bei's so-called five hundred tigers, in his opinion, Liu Bei's so-called five hundred people are just a group of rabble, and it would be good to be able to make up this number, but at this glance, he was surprised.
Although in terms of the entire equipment, the officers and soldiers in various places far exceed this small team, but whether it is in the speed of the whole team, or the neatness of the team, it cannot be compared with this team, especially look at these 500 soldiers, all of them are strong and ruddy, and there is no other officer and army that is old and mixed, and the phenomenon of indiscriminate filling, especially the spirit and spirit, is the difference between heaven and earth. It's just a simple gathering of generals, and the elite or not is judged.
Guan Dian couldn't help but applaud: "Xuande Gong is really from the royal family, he studied under Lord Lu, and he really has a strategy, just from this small team in such a short period of time, he has been trained by Xuande Gong to be so strong, it can be seen that Xuande Gong is really a great talent, I will report this situation to Taishou to know, and then Xuande Gong will be reused by Taishou, soar to the sky, and achieve a great cause." ”o
Liu Bei was praised by Guan Yin, and his heart was a little fluttering, and his mouth was humble, but he didn't mention who was in charge of training this elite army.
Guan Zhang also takes this for granted, and the credit for the work done below is, of course, attributed to the superior leaders, no matter what dynasty it is.
Now that the whole army was completed, Liu Bei took a few steps forward, faced the soldiers below, and after making an impassioned mobilization, he immediately ordered the army to pull out.
The news of the army's action reached Zhuangzi, and the people in the village came to see off the old and the young, looking at their son and husband who were about to part with him, and the whole Zhuangzi was crying.
At this time, Liu Bei's eyes were full of tears, and he said goodbye to everyone on a blind date, and then turned to Lu Peng: "Sir, the grain and grass of my army has been taken over by the government, and our remaining grain and grass will be useless, so we will distribute it to everyone now as the cost of settling down." ’
Lu Peng couldn't help grinning bitterly. The purpose of asking the government for grain and grass is to terminate the contract and reserve the grain and grass here, and to accumulate materials for future battles.
According to history, you Liu Bei finished fighting the Yellow Turban Army, and was unloaded and killed by others, and gave you a small county lieutenant, and sent you away, and your little county lieutenant couldn't afford to raise these 500 brothers who were born and died with you, so you could only give up this most loyal force and become a bare-bones commander for the first time. In this troubled world, Commander Guang Zhuer has no future.
But now that Liu Bei has made such an arrangement in order to buy people's hearts, of course there is no need for him to be this wicked person and chill the hearts of the 500 soldiers, so Lu Peng showed an excited face and clapped his hands and said: "A certain person has this heart, take it as an ear." ”
So, Liu Bei distributed the grain and grass that Liu Bei pulled around to the surrounding people, and the people cheered Xuande Gong Gao and Mr. Han Qiang's kindness, which somewhat diluted some of the parting sorrows, and also reassured the soldiers who went out.
In troubled times, everyone has a bad life, this time, don't you want to fight for a chance to survive for your family in troubled times? Now, the family's year of chewing is over, and it is not so sad.
The army traveled all the way for more than one day, and on this day, when it was noon, it finally arrived at Jicheng, the seat of Youzhou Zhi, and the army was arranged outside the city and camped on an empty field against the city wall.
Guan Yin came back first, and at this time, according to the original agreement, he had already escorted the grain and grass materials in advance, and was waiting in the camp that was about to be built.
The camp is actually very easy to establish, everyone is from a peasant background, and it is not a problem to do some work, so they cut down trees and dig ditches, receive material tents, and then according to Lu Peng's regulations, the tents must be set up neatly according to the screenwriters of each hundred-person team, and at the same time, it is also required to dig drainage ditches between the tents, and also set up in the fence of the camp in accordance with the rules of every ten tents and a thatched pit, so that the barracks can be clean, and at the same time, the protection of the camp can be enhanced. That's a lot of power.
So under Lu Peng's continuous planning and strict supervision, everyone was very busy.
Now Youzhou is quite stable, the Yellow Turban thieves are still far from here, and the other recruited villagers have no idea of building a camp at all. So a group of people from east to west for a while, chaotically gathered around Lu Pengxiangyong's Thursday to watch the excitement, and ridiculed and ridiculed.
When he was busy with these things, even Zhang Fei raised objections to this extra thing. I: "I said sir, the brothers have been traveling day and night, tired like dogs, and finally come to the end, and you don't let them rest well, what trenches do you dig and what fences do you dig and build?" Then he said to Lu Peng playfully: "The world is peaceful here, and there are no thieves, it's just a superfluous move." Then he puffed up his chest and glanced around proudly, and said loudly to the villagers in other places: "Even if a thief wants to raid us, with a certain family holding eight snake spears, how many, such and such will let it come and go." ”
