Chapter 5 Liu Bei swore passionately, and the soldiers were determined to kill Zhang Ju.

Previous Chapter

After two days of arduous training, the 40 soldiers under Li Ziqiang and Chen Xueliang have become a little familiar with the weapons in their hands, and their movements are much more neat during the drills. These forty people can at least have the ability to protect themselves when they go to the battlefield, and the enemy will not be in a mess when they rush to kill.

Tomorrow is going to go out with the county order, Anxi County soldiers have just finished training in the afternoon, and they were called to the point of generals, listening to what the herald said is to boost morale in tomorrow's war, Anxi County ordered Liu Bei to take the two generals to swear in person.

Chen Xueliang and Li Ziqiang followed the flow of people and walked to Dianjiangtai together.

The Dianjiang platform is not far from the training ground, and everyone arrives in a few steps. Looking at it from a distance, you can see that many troops have been arranged in a phalanx and assembled. Chen Xueliang and Li Ziqiang found an open space and lined up their soldiers in place according to the rules, while the two stood in front of the phalanx, waiting for Liu Bei to swear an oath.

After a while, Liu Bei took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and the two generals appeared on the platform. As soon as he looked at Li Ziqiang from a distance, he recognized the long-bearded leader, and Li Ziqiang muttered in a low voice, "No wonder you hum like this, it turns out to be a general!" ’

When Chen Xueliang heard what Li Ziqiang said, he asked him, 'What? Do you still have a holiday with the general? ’

Li Ziqiang shook his head and said, "Just that bearded man, he is my sect leader, and he only gave us one move, saying that the rest of the battle will come back after the battle, and he will continue to teach!" What do you say is reasonable? ’

Chen Xueliang smiled and said to Li Ziqiang: "Ziqiang, people are generals, there must be arrangements from someone's family, and you obey orders." In the future, you are not allowed to make irresponsible remarks about others, if you provoke it, we will not be able to cut off ten heads! ’

Li Ziqiang nodded aggrievedly and stopped talking.

After about a stick of incense, all the soldiers in Anxi County were assembled, and this small point of general platform would definitely not be able to accommodate these three or four hundred people, and some troops were standing in a phalanx on the periphery.

After the herald counted the number of people, he informed Liu Bei that the soldiers had been assembled, Liu Bei nodded at him, and then looked at everyone, Liu Bei cleared his throat and paused again, and then said to everyone: "Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, we have fought bloodily for three years!" In the past three years, there has been no war, and the people have lived quite peacefully, but what are we here for? For the peace of the court, the peace of the people, and the peace of the world! ’

Liu Bei's words happened to speak the hearts of all the soldiers, and the audience burst into neat applause. Li Bochang stood at the front of the queue and heard Liu Bei say this, and then led the soldiers behind him to shout together: "The court is peaceful!" The people live in peace! The world is peaceful! ’

Liu Bei stood on the stage, looked at Uncle Li with great satisfaction, and nodded at him, as if the relationship between Uncle Li and the county order was one step closer.

Chen Xueliang sighed in a low voice: "What a talent! ’

Li Ziqiang didn't care about anything at this time, and kept shouting with everyone. A few days ago, when Li Ziqiang learned that the bandits had burned down his hometown, he secretly swore that no matter what, he would come out and wipe out those wicked people one by one!

Liu Bei waved his hands, and everyone in the audience quieted down, and Liu Bei continued, "But now Zhang Ju raised troops to rebel, and suddenly the world was in flames of war, and the people were even more miserable. In order to restore peace in the world, we must not stand idly by, so here I implore you to go to the battlefield with me early tomorrow morning, our soldiers are brave and good at fighting to join the battlefield will definitely make this war end as soon as possible, and the people can live a peaceful life as soon as possible! ’

The soldiers in the audience were obviously encouraged by Liu Bei's righteous words, and for a while, the people were angry, and they raised their weapons above their heads, shouting slogans "Kill Zhang Ju!" Kill Zhang Ju! Kill Zhang Ju! ’

Chen Xueliang led the troops to stand in the crowd and saw Li Ziqiang beside him, at this time, Li Ziqiang was simply inspired by Liu Bei's words, full of enthusiasm, and shouted with everyone! Chen Xueliang also smiled, whispered a few words and passed perfunctorily.

Liu Bei also introduced the situation that the imperial court sent Zhonglang General Meng Yi to lead the cavalry captain Gongsun Zan to suppress the situation at this time, which was very beneficial to his own side, with many soldiers on his side and few soldiers on the enemy side. So that all the soldiers will think that this is a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and their only bit of timidity will be wiped out.

The oath-taking meeting was very successful, at least everyone was full of enthusiasm, thinking that they would be able to go to the battlefield at this time, and they would be able to make meritorious contributions if they grabbed the enemy and killed them! Liu Bei also ordered the gang to kill pigs and sheep, prepare good wine, and practice for the strong men!

After the meeting, Chen Xueliang and Li Ziqiang led the troops on the way to the gangroom, Li Ziqiang still did not wake up from Liu Bei's words, and kept talking in Chen Xueliang's ear about how to kill the enemy and how to kill the enemy when he arrived on the battlefield tomorrow. The soldiers behind Li Ziqiang also 'swore an oath' with the chief!

Chen Xueliang actually didn't want to kill the enemy in his heart, he heard that Zhang Ju had 9,000 soldiers, and with the support of Minister Zhang Chun, there should be tens of thousands of soldiers, so many soldiers! And the imperial court sent Zhonglang to lead Meng Yi to lead the cavalry captain Gongsun Zan to suppress it, which is naturally also a large army! And he is just a small leader who manages twenty people, a lot less, and not much more. Chen Xueliang secretly decided that this battle should save his soldiers and let them return safely!

The two leaders soon came to the room, 'Huh! What meat to eat! Before entering the door, Li Ziqiang smelled the smell of fragrant meat, and before Chen Xueliang could wait, he rushed in with his own soldiers.

Chen Xueliang shook his head helplessly, and walked in.

The master stood in the front row and shouted at the soldiers who came to eat: 'Tomorrow, everyone will go to fight Zhang Ju, and today Liu County will reward meat to eat!' Everyone has eaten and made a lot of meritorious contributions! Hahaha~'

This meal is very meaningful, this is the first battle in the lives of Li Ziqiang and Chen Xueliang, and it is also a battle in which they each control the lives of their twenty men. Tomorrow's war, all annihilated, is uncertain. Chen Xueliang clearly knew how big the advantage Liu Bei said was, it was just to boost morale, and no one knew the real situation. And Li Ziqiang was clearly confused by Liu Bei's words, Chen Xueliang would definitely not let him die!

After they had eaten and drunk, all the soldiers went back to their camps to rest. Chen Xueliang quietly approached Li Ziqiang's tent and opened the curtain, when Li Ziqiang had already fallen asleep.

Chen Xueliang quietly approached the sleeping Li Ziqiang and woke him up with his hand. I saw that Zhang Xueliang wanted to open his mouth and shout before he opened his eyes at this time.

Chen Xueliang was shocked and hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand to prevent him from screaming. Li Ziqiang opened his eyes and saw that it was Chen Xueliang, and then quieted down.

Chen Xueliang saw that Li Ziqiang was quiet, so he let go of his hand. Li Ziqiang looked at Chen Xueliang with a puzzled expression, and whispered to him, "Why are you running away from me if you don't sleep?" ’

Chen Xueliang told Li Ziqiang the doubts in his heart: "Do you find that we have just come here to be officials, and we are going to fight as soon as we become officials!" ’

Li Ziqiang didn't think anything, so he said to Chen Xueliang, "What's so doubtful about this, didn't you say that Uncle Li has taken a fancy to us." ’

Chen Xueliang then said, "At first, I thought so, but tomorrow there will be a war, you say this... ’

Just when the two were discussing their doubts, Cheng Zishi shouted at Li Ziqiang through Li Ziqiang's tent, 'Li Shichang, Lu Shichang asked me to ask you and Chen Shichang to go to his tent to discuss important matters!' ’

After Chen Xueliang heard this, he called them at this time to be suspicious for tomorrow's affairs, but Lu Shi didn't follow the rules if he didn't go to make an appointment, so he nodded at Li Ziqiang.

Li Ziqiang said to Cheng Zishi outside the battle, "I know, I'll go!" ’

Chen Xueliang and Li Ziqiang hurriedly put on their clothes, and before their hair was still in order, they ran out of the camp and walked towards Lu Shi's strengths.

After only a few steps, the two came to the tent of Lu Shichang's camp, Chen Xueliang stopped Li Ziqiang, who was about to break in, and waited outside the door and said, "Lu Shichang, you called us?" ’

When Chief Lu Shi heard Chen Xueliang shouting, he said to them, 'Yes, you guys come in!' ’

Chen Xueliang and Li Ziqiang opened the curtain and entered it, at this time, Lu Shichang was sitting cross-legged at the table, staring at the paper on the table, and tapped his head with his hand. The two of them took two steps forward and asked, 'Chief Lush, what is the matter with us at such a late hour?' ’

Lu Shi waved his hand at the two of them and said, "Sit down, I won't call you over if it's okay!" ’

Chen Xueliang and Li Ziqiang looked at the two cushions placed next to them, and the two approached and sat cross-legged, waiting for Lu Shichang to speak.

Seeing the two of them sitting still, Lu Shi lowered his voice and said to them, 'Do you know that there will be a war tomorrow?' ’

No one knows about tomorrow's war, and the oath meeting was held in the afternoon, not only the soldiers in the barracks knew about it, but even the ordinary people spread it!

The two of them nodded at Lu Shi and said, "Yes." ’

He then tapped his head a few more times with his hand, and said to them, 'That's why I called you here, look at this!' After speaking, Lu Shi Chang handed the letter in his hand to the two of them.

Chen Xueliang just took the letter paper, but he didn't see it clearly. Li Ziqiang answered the call too quickly, and just listened to him, he said to Lu Shichang, "I can't read!" In the war tomorrow, we will definitely kill them without leaving a piece of armor! ’

Chen Xueliang saw Li Ziqiang talking like this, so he pulled the corner of his clothes and told him to shut up. I saw the letter paper in my hand with peace of mind, and saw what the letter said, because of the needs of tomorrow's battle array, Li Bochang, Chen Xueliang, and Li Ziqiang led their respective soldiers to act as forwards and set up on the right side of the battlefield to obey orders!

It seems that this is the headache of Lu Shi, as a striker, if the enemy army is huge, he will be trampled to death by his own people if he does not fight with the enemy, which is not a good thing. If it is really as Liu Bei said at the oath meeting, the enemy army is only a defeated army, this is a great opportunity for meritorious service. With such a close relationship between Chief Lu Shi and Chief Li Bochang, the opportunity for meritorious service will definitely be left to Chief Lu Shi. It seems that this arrangement should not be a problem, but why is Chief Lu Shi worried?

After hearing Li Ziqiang's bold words, Lu Shichang's head didn't hurt anymore, and he gave Li Ziqiang a thumbs up and said to him, 'Okay! Our army lacks such heroic qualities as you! To tell the truth, in the war tomorrow, our Li Bochang will be sent as the vanguard, and you and I will have to act as the vanguard, the first to engage the enemy. But you don't have to worry about the enemy being just a rout, I'm worried that you will occupy such a heavy position the first time you go to the battlefield, and I'm afraid that you won't be able to deal with it! ’

As soon as Li Ziqiang was about to open his mouth, Chen Xueliang replied first: 'Tomorrow's enemy army will be either 3,000 or 2,000. ’

Lu Shi Chang laughed and replied, "Uncle Li is still worried about you, if the enemy's advantage is too big tomorrow, our cavalry on the right side will open the way, and the infantry will follow, and no one can hurt us if they are injured. ’

Chen Xueliang thought to himself how could there be such a beautiful thing in this world, if it was really as Lu Shichang said, it would be excellent. However, Li Ziqiang was unwilling to say: "Tomorrow, no matter what, I will kill the enemy!" ’

Lu Shichang laughed when he heard Li Ziqiang's words, looked at him and said, "To kill the enemy, you must kill, but it is still important to save your life." Speaking of which, tomorrow the soldiers will be in chaos, whether you want to rush or guard, you will see for yourself! When he had finished speaking, he waved his hand at them and told them to go back.

Chen Xueliang and Li Ziqiang got up to say goodbye to Lu Shichang, left Lu Shichang's tent, and walked to their own tent together. On the way, Li Ziqiang was still unconvinced, muttering about wanting to kill the enemy, killing the enemy and something like that.

Chen Xueliang must be worried that Li Ziqiang has gone to the battlefield, if he comes in chaos, it is very likely that he and his subordinates will die in a total of 21 people! Thinking of this, Chen Xueliang suddenly stopped, pressed Li Ziqiang's shoulders with both hands, and said to him seriously: "No matter what happens tomorrow, you have to listen to me." If you run around and lose your life, I don't care about you! ’
