Xu walked out of the hut and saw Jia Xu and Jia Mu with strange expressions. She didn't expect her husband and eldest son to come back so soon.

Xu still took out a piece of clothing for Jia Xu to change into as usual, but Jia Xu stopped Xu with his actions, put on the clothes himself, and respected each other like guests.

"If only my husband had come back more than an hour earlier." Xu said to himself.

"Why?" Jia Xu asked.

"There are guests from Hedong County, who have come thousands of miles to visit you." Hui replied.

"What is his name? Let me know. Jia Xu paused, and then asked again.

Wuwei County is in the front section of the Hexi Corridor, which is far away from Hedong, and Jia Xu knows that even if he rides a horse to Hedong, it will take half a month to travel.

And Liu Fan was eager to seek talent, and it only took ten days to come to Wuwei.

"His name is Liu Fan, he is tall and handsome, very temperamental, and a very polite young man." Xu Shi thought for a moment and said to Jia Xu.

"Hedong Liu Fan, is it the Marquis of the Western Qin Pavilion who has the power to resist Ding." Jia Xu thought of the horseback boy he had just met at the entrance of the village, and hurriedly asked Xu: "What is he looking for me?" ”

Xu shook his head, and then told Jia Xu what Liu Fan said before leaving: "He said that you have the talents of Zhang Liang and Chen Ping." ”

Jia Xu's face changed, and he stood in place for a long time before he looked up to the sky and asked, "Liu Fan, do you know me?" ”

More than ten days later, Liu Fan appeared outside the city of Jiangyi.

"Master, you're finally back." Liu Hai, who was standing at the gate of the city and was talking to the soldiers guarding the gate, saw Liu Fan coming on horseback and ran over excitedly.

Guan Yu was afraid that Liu Fan would not be able to find the military camp after he returned, so he sent Liu Hai to guard at the gate of the city and wait for Liu Fan to come back.

"Bangs, can the five thousand soldiers be recruited completely, and can the armor and weapons be in place?" When Liu Hai took Liu Fan to the barracks, Liu Fan took the opportunity to ask Liu Hai.

"Five thousand soldiers were recruited just yesterday; The armor and weapons were also delivered by Shaoyang a few days ago, including 800 bows and 200 crossbows. Bangs replied.

The bow and crossbow are expensive, and Wang Yi has also made a lot of money, especially the two hundred arm crossbows, the arm crossbow has a range of three hundred steps, and it can be pulled away when it is full of two stones, which is a sharp weapon against the cavalry.

"How many of the recruited soldiers are higher in martial arts than you?" Since Liu Fan recruited three hundred private soldiers, Liu Hai has been very juvenile, and no one is convinced except him and Guan Yu. For this reason, Liu Fan also trained him many times.

Liu Hai touched his head embarrassedly, blushed and said, "At least there are dozens of people who are better than me in martial arts, and two of them are very valued by the teacher." ”

During the Han and Tang dynasties, martial arts were extremely popular, because of frequent foreign wars, as long as they could take care of food and clothing, many people would choose to practice martial arts. The three hundred private soldiers recruited by Liu Fan last time were all selected from the homeless people, and there were few martial arts practitioners, and the people who came to join the army this time came from all over Hedong, and there were many aspirants among them.

Liu Hai worships Guan Yu as a teacher, so he calls Guan Yu a teacher, and the title of master in this era refers to the emperor's teacher. The master among the masters refers to the prince and the prince, and the fu refers to the prince and the prince, which has been passed down in the Qin and Han dynasties.

It was not until the Tang Dynasty that the word master became master and was used for the people.

"Learn martial arts from Yun Chang well, Yun Chang's martial arts are the top in the world, don't look at my strength to resist Ding, fight to the death, I am definitely not Yun Chang's opponent. As long as you learn Yun Chang Sancheng martial arts, you can become a first-class military general in the world, in addition, you have to learn more about the art of war, otherwise even if the martial arts are high, it is only a brave ear! Liu Fan encouraged Liu Hai. At the same time, I should be vigilant in my heart that there are people in the world, there are heavens outside the sky, there are those who have left their names in history, and there are those who have not been recorded in history.

Although Liu Hai's strength is not third-rate, he is only fifteen years old, and Liu Hai's strength and perseverance are good, as long as he is carved well, he is a piece of beautiful jade.

"Don't worry, master, I will definitely be your right-hand man, who dares to stand in your way, it depends on whether I agree with the big knife in my hand!" Liu Hai said with high morale, and after speaking, he also raised the gold-backed broadsword in his hand.

As soon as they arrived at the barracks, they met three hundred private soldiers in red armor, who were practicing their riding skills. Since this was Liu Fan's first army, Guan Yu was very strict with them, practicing riding in the morning and archery in the afternoon. But they didn't complain, because they were just homeless people who couldn't get enough food to eat. They were willing to use their lives to repay the kindness of the Western Qin Pavilion Marquis to them and their families.

"Meet the head of the house!" When Liu Fan and Liu Hai arrived, everyone immediately found out, hurriedly dismounted, and knelt down on one knee.

"I am a Sima of the First Army, and you will call me Sima in the future, and you will no longer be the guardian of the Marquis Mansion of the Western Qin Pavilion in the future, but the cavalry of Hedong County, and you must not disobey the order!" The private soldiers' kneeling and shouting did not make Liu Fan happy, but reprimanded.

"Meet Sima!" Everyone hurriedly changed their voices.

Liu Fan nodded with satisfaction and asked them to get up and continue training.

After arriving at the barracks, Liu Fan saw that there were soldiers training everywhere, basically a team of 100 people, each training its own, and each team had a leader, who should be a junior general promoted by Guan Yu.

Liu Hai took Liu Fan to Guan Yu's camp, although the soldiers around him didn't know Liu Fan, they knew that Liu Hai was Guan Yu's protégé, and no one stopped him.

At this time, Guan Yu was in the barracks talking with two young men in armor about the way of military training. The two young men were more than eight feet tall, and one of them listened very attentively, asking a question from time to time; The other was absent-minded and apparently did not like the way of military training.

After Guan Yu saw Liu Hai break into the camp tent, he just wanted to scold, but he saw Liu Fan who was entering the camp tent immediately after Liu Hai entered the camp, and immediately got up to greet him.

Seeing Guan Yu get up, the two young men naturally didn't sit still, and immediately got up and followed behind Guan Yu, although Guan Yu had no position, but they were all recruited by Guan Yu, not to mention anything else, Guan Yu's martial arts convinced them.
