Chapter 107: Guan Yu's Spring and Autumn Sword Technique
Long-distance running is only the basis for recruiting soldiers, and Liu Zhang has already used it last time. This time, in order to increase the difficulty, Liu Zhang added a lot of other tests to it, such as fighting, courage and reaction. In the end, Liu Zhang selected 3,000 people to be included in the Tiger Guard Battalion. These 3,000 people are divided into three songs, each song is 1,000 people, respectively led by Zhou Cang, Zhao Lei, and Liao Hua, and Zhou Cang is under the command of Zhao Yun, when Zhao Yun is not there, it is under the command of Zhao Lei, and it is said that Chang Training is separated from the Tiger Camp.
The remaining 39,000 people were in charge of Huang Xu and Pei Yuanshao, Zhang Ren was under his command, and Huang Zhong was in charge of the entire Bishan camp. But Liu Zhang was not prepared to leave Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong in the camp, because they were handsome talents, and it was really a bit condescending to let them be in charge of military training. It's just that Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, and Pei Yuanshao don't have much literacy, and they only rely on Huang Xu, Zhao Lei, and Zhang Ren, and they have to train soldiers and train personal guards, Liu Zhang is afraid that they will not be able to catch them, so he let Zhao Yun lead the Huwei camp and Huang Zhong lead the Bishan camp.
In fact, Liu Zhang just wanted to train Zhang Ren, Huang Xu, and Zhao Lei into talents specializing in military training, and they would train them in the future, while Zhao Yun and others were responsible for conquering the city, after all, Zhang Ren, Huang Xu, and Zhao Lei's martial arts were much worse than Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, and Zhao Yun. It is indeed easy to earn meritorious deeds on the battlefield, and the dangers can also be imagined. Since martial arts are not top-notch, Liu Zhang is ready to let Huang Xu and others be in charge of training and defending the pass. Fortunately, whether it is Zhang Ren, Huang Xu, or Zhao Lei, they are all wise and brave generals. As for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Liu Zhang asked them to be bodyguards temporarily, and he still wanted to be close to Guan Yu!
In fact, Guan Yu's appearance in the camp made Liu Zhang very depressed. When Liu Zhang won the allegiance of Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping, he sent two people to visit Guan Yu everywhere, but there was no news, but he never expected that Guan Yu had already been recruited into the army.
Think about it, in history, before Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei formed a rebellion, it happened that Liu Yan sent a list to convene soldiers to fight against the Yellow Turban Thieves, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were also ready to join the army, but they were bewitched by Liu Bei, and Zhang Fei was the key to Liu Bei and Guan Yu's acquaintance.
Now, Zhang Fei was accepted by Liu Zhang in advance, and Liu Yan recruited troops before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Liu Bei had no chance to get to know Guan Yu at all. Under the pressure of life, Guan Yu had no choice but to defect to the Youzhou Army as a pawn. Although Liu Zhang was in charge of the training of the Youzhou Army, he only taught the training methods to Huang Zhong and Yan Yan, how could he know that there was such a big dragon in the Jixian army?
Since Guan Yu has already entered the army, how can Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping, two ordinary businessmen, be able to detect it? However, since Guan Yu can be found in the army, Liu Zhang decided to find time to carefully double the roster of his subordinates, God knows if there are still fierce generals and handsome talents hidden in it.
The elite soldiers were selected, and Guan Yu was also obtained, and Liu Zhang's mood was very good. So, he decided to leave Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, and Pei Yuanshao to guard the camp, and take other generals to Luoyang to drink. But Guan Yu was a little flattered, after all, before today, he was still a pawn, but now he is on an equal footing with the generals and even the lord, which makes him a little at a loss.
Looking at the nervous Guan Yu, Liu Zhang smiled and said, "Yun Chang, if you can stand by my side today, it means that I recognize you." In business, I am the lord, and you must obey my commands. Privately, we are all brothers. On the battlefield, I still have to rely on you to protect me! Just relax! ”
"Thank you, my lord!" Hearing Liu Zhang say this, a trace of heat flashed in Guan Yu's eyes. Mencius said: The king regards the minister as a sibling, and the minister regards the king as the heart; The monarch regards the minister as a dog and a horse, and the minister regards the monarch as a countryman; The king regards his ministers as mustard, and the ministers regard him as an enemy. Guan Yu is a righteous person, Liu Zhang treats him as a brother, how can he not trust him with his confidants?
Seeing that Guan Yu relaxed, Liu Zhang suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "Zilong, where did you put the weapons, armor, and horses that Su Shuang brought last time?" You go and pick a good horse, and then pick a piece of armor, and as for the weapon, bring the Qinglong Glaive Knife, I think Yun Chang should be very handy. ”
"Uh..."Guan Yu was stunned and asked, "How does the lord know that I am good at using knives?" ”
Liu Zhang smiled: "I guess! ”
The generals were speechless for a while! However, when the Qinglong Glaive Knife was raised, Guan Yu was very excited, and he picked up the knife and performed a set of knife techniques.
"Good knife technique!" Liu Zhang and the others are all military generals, so they can naturally see the subtlety of Guan Yu's sword technique.
Guan Yu scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "The family heirloom knife technique makes you laugh!" ”
Liu Zhang smiled and asked, "I don't know the origin of this knife technique, but "Spring and Autumn"? ”
"The lord has good eyesight!" Guan Yu said with a smile: "My father once said that if you want to fully master this set of knife techniques, you must be familiar with "Spring and Autumn", the deeper you read, the sharper the knife skills you comprehend. ”
"I see!" Liu Zhang secretly said in his heart: "No wonder Guan Yu in history is holding a copy of "Spring and Autumn" all day long. ”
Many people said that the reason why Guan Yu read "Spring and Autumn" was because the book was given by Zhang Fei. But even if it's a book from a brother, there's no need to hold it every day and read it. You must know that "Spring and Autumn" is 18,000 words, and with Guan Yu's ability, it is estimated that he will be able to recite the whole book in a few days, and he originally read "Spring and Autumn" to comprehend the knife technique!
"Thank you Lord for the sword!" Guan Yu was questioned for a long time, and he suddenly remembered that he hadn't thanked Liu Zhang for giving him a weapon. Guan Yu could see that this knife was by no means idle, at least it was cast in iron. You must know that weapons, armor, and war horses are all life-saving things for military generals, and now the three things Liu Zhang sent, except for the horses that are slightly worse, are high-grade war horses, armor and weapons are all high-quality, but the BMW god horse is not so easy to get. Being able to have a high-grade war horse was something that Guan Yu had never dared to think of before.
"Yun Chang doesn't have to be like this, since you have the ability, naturally I have to give you the best things, and I will help you get a good horse in the future." Guan Yu is grateful to Dade, but Liu Zhang is very dissatisfied, a general like Guan Yu just rides a high-grade war horse, which makes Liu Zhang very unhappy, he made up his mind, even if he can't get Chitu, he will get a good horse for Guan Yu.
Guan Yu was very moved in his heart, he knelt on the ground and said, "The lord treats me like this, how can I repay him?" Yu is willing to repay the lord with this life! ”
"Ahem... The clouds grow up quickly, why bother! Liu Zhang picked up Guan Yu and said secretly in his heart: "Isn't this a legendary personal promise?" ”
Thinking of this, Liu Zhang shuddered and said: "In order to celebrate that I have another tiger general, I will not return home if I am not drunk today!" ”
Among the generals, there are very few people who don't drink, and Zhang Fei is even more addicted to alcohol. Now that Liu Zhang wants to invite a drinker, how can Zhang Fei not urge? With the generals, Liu Zhang was about to leave the camp, but before he reached the gate, a small colonel rushed into the big tent and said: "General, there is an angel at the door who wants to see you!" ”
Liu Zhang was stunned, but the generals smiled and said, "The lord is going to see the angel, when can't you drink this wine?" ”
"Big brother just remember to owe us a drink. Of course, it's better to calculate some interest! These words were said by Zhang Fei, who was addicted to alcohol.
Liu Zhang smiled bitterly and shook his head and came to the gate of the camp, only to see a small yellow gate greet him and say: "Champion Hou, you hurry up and follow me, Your Majesty wants to see you!" ”
"What's wrong?" Liu Zhang asked, while taking out a piece of horseshoe gold and stuffing it into the sleeve of Xiao Huangmen.
When Xiao Huangmen saw the gold, he immediately squeezed out a smile and said, "I really don't know what's going on, but I just heard that Your Majesty is very angry and wants to do something?" ”
After listening to this, Liu Zhang understood a little that this was definitely not to deal with him. So, Liu Zhang sent the little school to say hello to the generals, and after the banquet, he went straight to the palace with Xiaohuangmen. When he came to Weiyang Palace, Liu Zhang heard Liu Hong roaring outside the door, and after the little yellow door reported, he only heard Liu Hong's voice hoarse and low, and it seemed that the roar time was not short.
"Meet Brother Huang, what makes you so angry?" Liu Zhang had to salute when he entered the main hall.
Liu Hong waved his hand with a gloomy face and said, "Don't come to these false courtesies!" Look at this! ”
Zhang Rang, who was standing beside Liu Hong, immediately handed Liu Zhang a battle report, and Liu Zhang smiled after reading it: "Why should the imperial brother be angry about this, it's not worth hurting the dragon's body!" ”
"You think I'm going to be angry!" Liu Hong said angrily: "This group of waste, a little yellow turban thief stumped them. It was easy to pacify the Yellow Turban Thief, but the Qiang Beigong Boyu jumped out again. This Beigong Boyu has not yet calmed down, and another Zhao Ci ran out, and actually killed Qin Jie, do you think I can not be angry? ”
"Does the imperial brother want his younger brother to send troops?" Liu Zhang was a little puzzled, in his opinion, Liu Hong should not let him make a move easily.
Liu Hong said with a smile: "I want my brother to recommend a few people to pacify Zhao Ci and Beigong Boyu." ”
"Isn't General Zhu Jun still cleaning up the remnants of the Yellow Turban in Wancheng? It should be no problem for him to clean up Zhao Ci! Liu Zhang thought for a while and said, "General Huangfu seems to be still idle, so it's better to let him help Lord Zhang Wen." ”
Liu Hong smiled bitterly and said: "Zhu Jun is also a waste, although he defeated Zhao Hong, he was blocked by Sun Xia, and he really couldn't do anything about Zhao Ci." ”
Liu Zhang smiled: "Then let Sun Jian and Sun Wentai go!" With Sun Jian's ability, it should be easy to defeat Sun Xia and kill Zhao Ci! ”
"But Sun Jian is helping Zhang Wen clean up Beigong Boyu, if he is transferred now, in case..." Liu Hong hesitated, he looked at Liu Zhang and was a little moved, after all, Liu Zhang was the trump card in his hand.
Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Brother Huang, don't worry! General Huangfu was originally a stable person and was familiar with Jincheng and Wuwei. No matter how powerful Beigong Boyu is, he will not be the opponent of Huangfu Song, Zhang Wen, and Dong Zhuo, and the Qiang people are not as harmful as the Wancheng Yellow Turban. You must know that even if the Qiang people enter Liangzhou, they will only rob the materials of a state, but Wancheng Sun Xia and Jiangxia Zhao Ci are rebelling. If Sun Xia and Zhao Ci succeeded, it would be the Han Sheji who would be harmed! ”
Hearing Liu Zhang's words, Liu Hong immediately made up his mind and said: "Just do what the imperial brother said!" Zhang Rang drafted a decree and ordered Sun Jian to attack Sun Xia and Zhao Ci with Zhu Jun for Changsha Taishou, and ordered Huangfu Song to immediately go north and attack Beigong Boyu with Zhang Wen and Dong Zhuo. ”
