Chapter 43 Returning to Youzhou, Liu Zhang is in charge of the troops
Zhang Fei looked at Liu Zhang, and suddenly remembered the words of his father Zhang Xiong, although Zhang Fei always thought his father was verbose, but rarely violated his words. Of course, the practice of martial arts is an exception. I remember that before Zhang Xiong died, he didn't say anything, just told Zhang Fei that he had to follow Liu Zhang no matter what, even if it was to be a small guy. Now that Liu Zhang came to solicit him, Zhang Fei hesitated for a moment and knelt down and said, "Meet the lord!" ”
"Get up! Get up! Liu Zhang hurriedly helped Zhang Fei up and said: "You and my brother, there is no need to do this in the future, just call your eldest brother!" "Liu Zhang was originally here for Zhang Fei, and now that Zhang Fei has joined the service, Liu Zhang will not treat him badly. As for swearing to Zhang Fei, Liu Zhang didn't think about it, but the time had not come.
"Big brother!" Zhang Fei stood up and said: "Since I have followed the eldest brother, I will let people sell the house in a while and go back to Youzhou with the eldest brother!" ”
"Good!" Liu Zhang smiled and asked: "Yide, have you seen a big man with red phoenix eyes, lying silkworm eyebrows, a face like a heavy jujube, a grease-like lips, a two-foot long beard under his forehead, and a height of nine feet?" ”
Zhang Fei thought for a while and said, "I've never seen such a person, did he offend the eldest brother?" ”
"Not really!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "This person is also a hero, quite chivalrous, I want to invite him to work together for a great cause." I heard that he wanted to come to Youzhou, so I asked my brother about it. If you have seen him, it is the best, and if you haven't seen it, you won't force it! ”
Zhang Fei said with a smile: "Big brother, don't worry, since he is a hero, he will always cherish the hero, and sooner or later he will be the eldest brother's person!" ”
Liu Zhang smiled and shook his head and didn't speak, he knew that heroes cherish heroes, but there is not only one hero in the world. If Guan Yu can't be found now, then Guan Yu is likely to become Liu Bei's person. Liu Zhang saw Liu Bei in the market just now, if he wasn't afraid, he would definitely kill Liu Bei.
After a few more days, Zhao Lei's injuries were healed. In the past few days, Zhang Fei entertained Liu Zhang and others while dealing with family property. After Zhao Lei was able to withstand the bumps of the horse, Liu Zhang decided to set off back to Jixian County. Looking at Zhang's mansion, who had already taken off the plaque, Zhang Fei was a little reluctant, after all, this is the place where he has lived for more than ten years.
Liu Zhang saw that Zhang Fei was a little lost, and couldn't help but quip: "Yide, when you become famous, you can come back." When the time comes, we will buy all the houses in the neighborhood and expand. The peach orchard in the backyard is where the brothers drink and play! ”
"Yes! Eldest brother! Zhang Fei is a bold person, and he is a little embarrassed to be teased by Liu Zhang.
The seven of them drove away from Zhuojun with a carriage, but none of them saw it, and at the corner of the street, there was a big man with his hands in his sleeves, looking at their backs with resentment.
The county guard of Zhuoxian County is not stupid, when Liu Zhang arrived in Zhuo County, he transmitted Liu Zhang's news to Jixian County in the form of official documents. When Liu Zhang left, he sent the news out on a fast horse. Not long after Liu Zhang left Zhuo County, Liu Yan already knew that he was going back. For this well-informed and knowledgeable Zhuoxian city guard, Liu Yan promoted him to the captain of the broken captivity, until the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, Liu Zhang knew that this city guard was actually Zou Jing who promoted Liu Guanzhang in history!
Liu Yan stayed in Jixian County for five years, and during these five years, Huang Zhong and Yan Yan repelled Karasuma several times, which made Liu Yan can't help but admire Liu Zhang. No one could have imagined that just relying on rumors in the market, Liu Zhang would recruit two generals. What Liu Yan didn't expect was that the training method left by Liu Zhang actually made the 20,000 soldiers in Jixian County have such combat power.
Originally, when the Han people were at war with foreigners, the cavalry battle loss rate could reach two to one, and the infantry battle loss rate could reach five to one, which was considered a miracle. However, the soldiers trained by Huang Zhong and Yan Yan were able to attack more with less, and the battle loss rate was still very low, and sometimes in the face of small group battles, there could even be zero casualties. Of course, there are also reasons for Yan Yan and Huang Zhong, but in the final analysis, it is the training method of soldiers.
Finally returned to Jixian County, although Liu Zhang didn't stay in Jixian County for a year, but his parents are in Jixian County, and he hasn't seen his parents for five years.
"Childe!" There were two majestic men standing at the gate of the city, and behind the big man stood a couple, and when they saw Liu Zhang and his party from a distance, the big man immediately waved his hand to say hello.
"Hansheng! Yan Yan! "The size of the two big men is very obvious, and the couple behind them is blocked. Liu Zhang rode his horse and just finished greeting Huang Zhong and Yan Yan when he saw Liu Yan and his wife behind them. Liu Zhang hurriedly dismounted and kowtowed: "Meet my father, why are you here?" ”
"My son, you are so ruthless, you have been gone for five years!" Mrs. Liu took Liu Zhang into her arms and cried.
Liu Zhang looked at Mrs. Liu, who was crying like a tearful person, and immediately felt a little at a loss. Liu Yan still stood up to relieve the siege and said: "Madam, Zhang'er is back, it should be a happy thing, you cry like this, isn't it a ruin of people's interest?" ”
"Yes! It's my fault! Mrs. Liu burst into tears and said with a smile: "Zhang'er seems to have brought a lot of people back, why don't you introduce them to us?" ”
"I've seen my uncle and aunt (old man, old lady)!" Zhao Yun and the others were like brothers with Liu Zhang, and when they saw Liu Yan and his wife, they immediately saluted.
"Hey, whose little girl is this, it's so cute!" Mrs. Liu took a fancy to Zhao Yun's sister at a glance, and she pulled Zhao Yu over and said, "Little girl, will you be my goddaughter?" ”
Liu Zhang smiled: "Mother, he is the younger sister of my junior brother Zhao Yun, so he is naturally your daughter, why do you need to do anything to be a goddaughter?" ”
"I gave birth to four of your brothers, but I have no daughters. If you want to recognize a goddaughter, you naturally hope that she is willing. After Mrs. Liu threw a big eyeball to Liu Zhang, she turned to Zhao Yu and asked, "Little girl, are you willing?" ”
Zhao Yu is also a poor person, she has been sluggish since she was a child, although she is covered by her eldest brother and second brother, she still lacks maternal love. Seeing the gentle and graceful Mrs. Liu, the little girl's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and she threw herself into Mrs. Liu's arms and whispered, "Mother! ”
"Good!" Mrs. Liu was relieved, even though she was only in her early forties.
Liu Zhang and Liu Yan chatted while walking, Liu Yan learned about Liu Zhang's life in the past five years, and Mrs. Liu was learning about Zhao Yu's family history. Although Mrs. Liu's move is a bit redundant, she is also good for Liu Zhang. Almost all women in the world want their husbands to love them alone, but the mother can't wait for her son to kill all the good girls in the world, maybe women are so contradictory!
When Mrs. Liu heard that Zhao Yu had no father or mother since she was a child, her eyes immediately turned red. Originally, she accepted Zhao Yu as a righteous daughter to help Liu Zhang win over the Zhao Yun brothers, but now she really likes Zhao Yu, a clever little girl. Just when the two women hugged their heads and cried, they actually heard Liu Yan scolding Liu Zhang, and Liu Zhang was slandering Huang Xu's mouth, if Huang Xu hadn't told Liu Zhang that Liu Zhang had picked a bandit village with five people, Liu Yan would not have been angry.
As the saying goes: The son of a daughter does not hang down. There is also a saying: A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. In Liu Yan's view, Liu Zhang is not only the son of a daughter, but also a gentleman, so naturally he should not act so recklessly. However, although Liu Zhang was submissive by Liu Yan, he didn't think so. He is the one who wants to be the champion of the Han Dynasty, how can he be afraid of some danger. Of course, Liu Yan is just worried about Liu Zhang's safety, the so-called depth of love, and the responsibility is serious!
Back in Youzhou Thorn Mansion in Jixian County, Liu Yan had already prepared hot water and a change of clothes for Liu Zhang and others. After washing, Liu Zhang took Zhao Yun and others out, which made Liu Yan's eyes suddenly light up. It's not that the figure of Zhang Fei and others surprised Liu Yan, but their temperament is not like ordinary people.
You must know that Zhang Fei was forced by his father to study literature since he was a child, and he is good-looking, which is quite a bit of a Confucian general. Zhao Yun and Zhang Ren are Tong Yuan's disciples, and although Tong Yuan is a martial artist, he has also studied and practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his apprentices are naturally different. In the Han Dynasty, scholars who were powerless were not valued, but the kind of people who were in and out of the picture, and were more valued. If you want to get out of the phase, you are naturally both civil and military. Zhao Yun and others are exactly this kind of people. It's just that although Zhang Fei is also both civil and military, his surname is too reckless.
After washing, it was naturally a reception banquet, looking at the table full of food, not to mention Zhao Yun and Zhao Lei, children who had never eaten hard, even Liu Zhang left saliva. In the mountains, Liu Zhang and others often went hunting to fight tooth sacrifices, but they were training archery. Even if it hits the game, it's just simple cooking, how can there be something delicious made by the special chef of the Thorn Mansion! Liu Zhang and the others devoured it, and Mrs. Liu, who watched it, wiped her tears, and until after the banquet, she kept saying: "My son has suffered hardship!" ”
After eating and drinking, Liu Zhang and the others came to the room arranged by Liu Yan and slept beautifully. Early the next morning, Liu Zhang and others woke up under the influence of the biological clock. By the time Liu Yan got up, Liu Zhang and the others had been practicing martial arts in the small teaching field in the backyard for a while. After breakfast, Liu Zhang took his brothers to find Liu Yan.
Seeing his son arrive, Liu Yan smiled and asked, "My son, are you still used to sleeping last night?" ”
Liu Zhang smiled: "Back to my father, in my own home, it is naturally more comfortable to sleep." ”
Liu Yan nodded and asked, "You came to find your father, what's the matter?" ”
Liu Zhang smiled: "Father, I want to lead the soldiers!" These brothers of mine also want to go to the barracks for training. ”
"Oh! Tell us what you think! Liu Yan knew that Liu Zhang had been determined to be Huo Qu since he was a child, and it was normal for him to want to enter the military camp.
Liu Zhang said with a smile: "The 20,000 people in Jixian County were handed over to me as the commander, Huang Zhong was my direct subordinate, and Zhang Fei, Zhang Ren, Zhao Yun, Huang Xu, and Zhao Lei entered Huang Zhong's command!" As for Yan Yan, let him do another 10,000 people! ”
"It's... Not so good! Liu Yan was a little hesitant, he was not afraid that Liu Zhang would take power, but that he was worried that the troops under his control would exceed the scope allowed by the imperial court.
"Father, don't worry!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Jixian County's troops have been handed over to Huang Zhong for training, and it has been five years!" This time I came back not only to train in the army, but to take the initiative. When I win Karasuma, the court won't say that we have too many troops. If I lose, there is not much left of these 20,000 people, and the court will not be able to speak! ”
