Chapter 24: Xu Huang and Zhou Cang
"Lord, you're finally back!"
Guan Yu was just about to meet Liu Fan, but was supported by Liu Fan.
"Yun Chang is tired!"
Liu Fan has been gone for more than 20 days, and he has almost relied on Guan Yu to take care of it alone, which makes Liu Fan a little ashamed.
"Can the lord invite the big talent?" Guan Yu asked.
"Jia Xu just happened to go out to travel, but he never met him." Liu Fan shook his head regretfully.
"Don't regret it, my lord, I'll introduce you to two warriors." Guan Yu pointed to the two young men behind him and said to Liu Fan.
"Xu Huang of Yang County, Hedong greets the lord!"
"Hedong Dayangyi Zhoucang to meet the lord!"
After Guan Yu finished speaking, the two of them bowed to Liu Fan one after another, and directly called Liu Fan the lord.
In the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, the lord is the title of the lord by his subordinates, and Xu Huang and Zhou Cang call Liu Fan the lord, which means that they are willing to follow Liu Fan to do a career and never give up.
After the Yellow Turban Uprising, Xu Huang belonged to the Bai Bo Army and Zhou Cang belonged to the Yellow Turbans, they were obviously disappointed in the imperial court, and after Liu Fan's reputation spread, their minds changed and they did not take the old road of rebellion.
"Zhou Cang, the word Yuanfu, has the strength of a thousand catties in his arms, a rare fierce general on the battlefield; Xu Huang, whose name is Gongming, is not much weaker than me, and he is well versed in the art of war. Although the two of them signed up for their own numbers, Guan Yu gave Liu Fan a general introduction in order to let Liu Fan know them better.
When the two reported their names, Liu Fan was slightly shocked.
Zhou Cang is about 20 years old, with a black face and red lips, and he is very great, and he is decisive in history, sincere and loyal. Zhou Cang took refuge in Zhang Bao during the Yellow Turban Uprising, after the failure of the Yellow Turban Uprising, Zhou Cang fell into the grass in Woniu Mountain, Guan Yu walked thousands of miles when Zhou Cang was subdued by Guan Yu, became Guan Yu's personal guard, Guan Yu was defeated and beheaded in Maicheng, Zhou Cang cried bitterly in Maicheng, and then drew his sword to kill himself, and was called 'the first loyal person in the world'. Liu Fan's appearance prevented Zhou Cang from getting involved in the Yellow Turban Uprising soon after.
Xu Huang is about the same age as Zhou Cang, and he looks stable and mature. One of the five good generals of Cao Wei in later generations, he was a wise and brave general. In history, Cao Cao praised Xu Huang for having the 'wind of Zhou Yafu'.
"The new army was newly established, no one was available, I got two, like a fish in water!" Liu Fan personally helped the two of them up and said happily.
Zhou Cang can rank second-rate in martial arts in history; Xu Huang is even more amazing, he has fought with Guan Yu, Pang De, Wen Chou, Yan Liang, Gan Ning, Xu Chu and other fierce generals who are close to the top, or the top, although they did not win, but they did not die. The most important thing is that these fierce generals are all fierce generals who attack fiercely, which also proves that Xu Huang's martial arts are first-class, otherwise it is impossible to save his life.
"Bang Hai, go and gather all the soldiers, I, the county horse, want to meet with the soldiers." Liu Fan turned to Liu Hai and commanded.
"No!" Bangs clenched his fists and hurriedly ran out.
"I named Guan Yu as the cavalry governor, leading two thousand soldiers; Feng Xu Huang and Zhou Cang were the governors of the department, each leading 1,500 troops. The young generals under your command will be selected and appointed by you. Liu Fan considered that Guan Yu, Xu Huang, and Zhou Cang had no official positions, and they couldn't let go if they didn't have official positions to lead the troops.
However, with the military position of Sima of his county, the cavalry governor is already the largest military position he can appoint.
"Thank you, lord!" Guan Yu and Xu Huang thanked each other.
"My lord, my Zhou Yuanfu is just a rough man who sells smuggled salt, he doesn't know the art of war, and he can't lead troops to fight, so he can't take on this big responsibility." Zhou Cang has a heroic personality, and he doesn't have any fancy intestines, although he joined the army to make meritorious contributions, but he won't do anything that he can't do, even if he has greater rights.
Liu Fan nodded secretly in his heart about Zhou Cang's quality, and he also knew that Zhou Cang had no experience in leading troops to fight in history, only the experience of defending the city as the main general.
"If you don't want to lead the troops, then you can either be my personal guard, or be Yun Chang and Komeito's deputy." Liu Fan said quietly.
"I want to be Brother Yun's deputy, I admire Brother Yun's martial arts very much." Zhou Cang bowed to Liu Fan and pleaded.
According to the trend of history, Zhou Cang has followed Guan Yu for half his life, it seems to be providence, Guan Yu in history is extremely arrogant, and Zhou Cang is just a knife bearer with him. This time, Zhou Cang became Guan Yu's deputy general, Guan Yu's arrogance towards his own people has been much restrained, and he should not let Zhou Cang resist the knife anymore.
Besides, it is not appropriate to let a deputy general carry a knife for the main general, Guan Yu will not be so unmeasured.
"Okay, then I will still make you the governor of the ministry and the deputy general of Yun Chang. The 5,000 soldiers are each led by Yun Chang and Gongming, and each of you will elect five tooth generals, and each of you will choose five hundred generals, and each tooth gate will choose five hundred generals, and the brave men will serve as them. Another commander commanded three hundred cavalry. Liu Fan said solemnly.
The military positions of the Han Dynasty were too chaotic, which was not conducive to the deployment of grand strategy at all, and one day Liu Fan became the commander of an army and could open a government to govern affairs. The first thing he did was to reformulate the military ranks.
Guan Yu was the first person recruited by Liu Fan, if he was allowed to sit on an equal footing with Xu Huang, who was not able to do anything, he would definitely be unconvinced, so he gave Guan Yu three hundred cavalry. Everyone knows the importance of cavalry, and in the north, if 300 cavalry is used well, it is enough to be worth 3,000 infantry.
That is, the Lord, it is necessary to distinguish rewards and punishments, and judge the law fairly.
"Thank you, my lord!" Guan Yu, Xu Huang, and Zhou Cang bowed together.
"You and I will go to the school yard and take a look at our army together." Bangs had been out for a long time, and there was no roaring in the barracks, so the army was almost assembled.
"Wait a minute, my lord!" Guan Yu ran to the innermost part of the barracks, took out a set of armor from the cabinet, walked over and handed it to Liu Fan.
"This is the armor of the lord, the lord should have majesty, put on the armor and go away." After Guan Yu finished speaking, he took Zhou Cang and Xu Huang out of the camp.
