Chapter 130: Slaves want to train elites
Within a few days, the horses that Tao Qian needed were ready, and Mi Zhu took Mi Zhen to drive the horses to Xuzhou. Liu Zhang and Mi Zhu discussed, and all these war horses were exchanged for grain. Mi Fang is familiar with everyone under the leadership of Zhang Fei, and he will integrate into Liu Zhang's collective in a very short time. However, due to Mi Fang's limited ability, Liu Zhang put him in the same position as Liao Hua and Pei Yuanshao. Of course, Mi Fang and Liao Hua have a future than Pei Yuanshao, because they are only fifteen or sixteen years old, and youth is capital!
"Big brother, what are your plans?" On the way back to Xuzhou, Mi Zhen asked Mi Zhu.
"What else is going to do?" Mi Zhu shook his head but showed a pleased smile, he smiled at Mi Zhen: "Little sister, I used to make a choice for you and Zifang, but now Zifang seems to have made a choice for me!" However, Zifang's choice this time is not bad, perhaps the wisest choice in his life! ”
"It seems that the eldest brother is quite optimistic about the champion Hou! Then we will return to Xuzhou this time to transfer some of the industry to the state, so as not to be too late! Mi Zhen looked at Mi Zhu with a smile on her face, in fact, she knew that Mi Zhu was reluctant to leave Xuzhou.
"This..."Mi Zhu thought for a while and said: "Transfer your and Zifang's share first, and as for mine, stay in Xuzhou for the time being, in case of emergency!" ”
"Alas!" Mi Zhen asked helplessly: "Big brother, can't you let it go?" ”
"I can't let go of anything..."Mi Zhu smiled, looking light, but Mi Zhen knew that he still had a longing in his heart. This longing is not as Mi Zhu said, it is his gratitude to Tao Qian, but a trace of affection. It's a pity, if there is no accident, this feeling, Mi Zhu is destined to hide in his heart for a lifetime!
Just when Mi Zhu and Mi Zhen went to Xuzhou and were about to transfer their family wealth to Bingzhou, Mi Fang was incorporated into the new army by Liu Zhang and was suffering from that training.
"Zifang, how are you doing these days?" Mi Fang joined the New Army for a few days of training, and Liu Zhang had to visit him almost every day and ask him if he could stand it. Liu Zhang failed to get Mi Zhu, but kidnapped Mi Zhu's younger brother, if Mi Fang couldn't be tempered, Liu Zhang felt a little sorry for Mi Zhu.
"Lord, don't worry! My Mi Zifang is not a person who can't endure hardship! Mi Fang moved his sore arm, he really didn't expect that there was a world of difference between learning martial arts in Xuzhou and being a soldier under Liu Zhang. In the past few days, he finally understood one word, and that is hellish torture.
"It's good to stand it!" Liu Zhang smiled and patted Mi Fang on the shoulder and said: "Meng Ziyun: The heavens will descend on the Si people, and they must first work their muscles and bones and starve their bodies and skin..."
"Stop!" Mi Fang and Liu Zhang became more and more familiar, and also understood Liu Zhang's surname, he saw that Liu Zhang was about to preach again, and couldn't help but interrupt: "Lord, I understand all these truths, can you say something I don't understand?" ”
Liu Zhang smiled and said, "Train hard, you have to be stronger than ordinary soldiers, otherwise how can I use you!" If you want to go to the battlefield, you have to ensure that you don't die, open your eyes first, and ask Yide and Yunchang for advice. One day, if you can survive a hundred moves under their full attack, I can rest assured that you will be able to go into battle! ”
"Thank you, my lord!" No matter what Liu Zhang's purpose was to recruit Mi Fang, with this heart, Mi Fang was moved. You must know that many princes don't treat their younger brothers as human beings.
Seeing that Mi Fang, a rich man, could resist the strict training in the army, the big stone in Liu Zhang's heart was also put down. In fact, he really wanted to recruit Mi Zhu directly, but with Mi Zhu's heart surname, before Tao Qian's death, he would definitely not be able to recruit him, since this was the case, he recruited Mi Fang, and used Mi Fang as the link between him and Mi Zhu. If Mi Fang couldn't stand the harsh training of the Bingzhou army, Liu Zhang would rather drive him away than use him. Liu Zhang is unwilling and disdainful to do things that mislead people's children! Of course, if Mi Zhu is willing to defect, Liu Zhang doesn't mind raising more family!
As time passed, the population of Jinyang became more and more abundant, and the troops of Jinyang reached 20,000. Most of them were domestic slaves of the Mi family. To tell the truth, Mi Zhu was really generous, after the first batch of horses was transported back, he immediately transferred more than half of the family property to Jinyang, and at the same time, there were 50,000 slaves. According to Mi Zhu's words, his younger brother and sister are all in the merger, and they can't let the merger be in danger.
Liu Zhang selected young people as the first army and those in the prime of life as the first army from the 50,000 slaves of the Mi family. The young men were trained to do so, while the prime were the ones who defended the city. As for the people who brushed it down, Liu Zhang transferred them to the civil register and went to Tuntian. Although the grain output in Bingzhou is not high, it is necessary to plant some, otherwise Liu Zhang will not be able to stand it just by buying grain.
In order to thank Mi Zhu, Liu Zhang allocated 1,000 people from the tiger guard to Mi Zhu as a guard, and these 1,000 people have experienced a hundred battles and can be used as at least three or five thousand people. It is said that after these 1,000 people arrived in Xuzhou, they had a conflict with Cao Bao, the defender of Xuzhou, and they rushed into Cao Bao's military camp and beat Cao Bao to death, and the troops under Cao Bao's command were killed by them as if they were in a no-man's land. was so angry that Lao Tao Qian almost couldn't get up in one breath! However, Tao Qian's two sons were very interested and pestered Huwei to train together every day.
Not to mention, Tao Qian, an old boy, is not very good, but his two sons are quite able to endure hardships. The only pity is that these two boys are good at martial arts, but they have no potential to practice martial arts, plus they don't like to read, they have no brains, and they are purely high or low. Perhaps this is also the reason why Tao Qian would rather give Xuzhou to Liu Bei than let his son inherit it!
With the troops, Liu Zhang's mind began to come alive. A unit that has never seen blood will never be called an elite! However, if the recruits are allowed to fight against the foreigners, the odds are not great. You must know that when Liu Zhang was in Youzhou, he dared to touch foreigners with recruits, because the people of Youzhou were fierce, and the Youzhou people had blood feuds with foreigners. Now most of Liu Zhang's troops are domestic slaves of the Mi family. These people are accustomed to groveling, but as for the blood surname and fierce spirit, there are not many.
If it was in other states and counties, Liu Zhang could still lead troops to suppress bandits, but most of the robbers in Bingzhou acted alone, and even if they were entangled together, there would be at most one or two hundred people, and there would be no more. If you use the troops in your hands to suppress bandits, it is completely anti-aircraft guns to fight mosquitoes, and it is useless! As a result, military training has become a piece of Liu Zhang's heart!
What does it mean to be sleepy and meet a pillow? Liu Zhang feels this way now! It turned out that Liu Zhang had been having a headache about military training, but there were no bandits, even if Zhuge Liang came, there was no way. On this morning, Liu Zhang was discussing government affairs with Guo Jia and others, when suddenly a small colonel rushed into the meeting hall, saying that a group of Qiang troops had rushed into Shangjun, and it should have been defeated and fled here.
Liu Zhang hurriedly took the map and opened it, it turned out that Shangjun bordered Liangzhou, and it may be that Liangzhou's Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou's subordinates were forced to have no way back by Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song, and as a result, they broke into Bingzhou. However, the Qiang people who broke into the state can be regarded as eight lifetimes of blood mold.
"Where is this?" Beigong Boyu panicked all the way and plunged into Bingzhou. He looked at the desolate scenery in front of him and couldn't help but be a little surprised. Even if there are few people in Liangzhou, there are always people, but he led the troops for dozens of miles, and he hasn't seen a single person until now, as if he has arrived in a dead land.
After opening the map and looking at it, a Qiang man replied to Beigong Boyu: "King Qiyu, this should be Shangjun!" ”
"Kami-gun?" Li Wenhou, who was beside Beigong Boyu, said suspiciously: "I've been here in Shangjun, how long has it been, why are there no people?" ”
"Uhhhh You must know that Li Wenhou, as a handsome Qiang man, has the same status as Boyu of the Qiang King Beigong, he doesn't know what happened, how can others know?
"No matter!" Beigong Boyu was also a little tired after running for two days and two nights, he waved his hand and said, "Let the army disperse to find food and grass!" ”
It turned out that Beigong Boyu was chased and beaten, and as a result, the grain, grass, and livestock were all lost. It's easy to get rid of Dong Zhuo and the others, of course he has to find something to satisfy his stomach, as for finding a way, the only way is to rob the people. However, soon Beigong Boyu was stunned, and his subordinates scattered for more than ten miles, not to mention food, and he didn't even see a single one. Even if you find a village, it is either ruins or empty buildings!
"What's going on!" Beigong Boyu, who got the news, looked into the distance and muttered, "Is the sky going to die for me?" ”
"The king doesn't have to be discouraged, as long as we enter Shuofang from Jingbian, are we afraid that there will be no food?" Li Wenhou and Beigong Boyu rebelled together, and they were also close friends. Seeing that Beigong Boyu was a little distracted, Li Wenhou immediately comforted him.
"Yes!" Beigong Boyu stood up and ordered: "The whole army listens to the order: get on the horse and march quickly, target: Shuo Fang!" ”
When the Qiang people received the order of Beigong Boyu, they immediately ignored the fatigue on their bodies and the hunger in their stomachs, and got on their horses and went to Shuofang. Their greatest hope now is that they will meet some people on the road and let them grab them! But will Liu Zhang be able to make their wish come true? The answer is no!
Dong Zhuo, Huangfu Song, Zhang Wen and the Qiang people have been fighting for more than a year, and it is not the first time that Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou have entered the state, why were Dong Zhuo and others thrown off this time? Could it be that the Qiang people are good at learning or that Dong Zhuo and the three of them have become stupid when their heads are in water? Of course not! Because there was no history of thorns and state pastors in the past, even if there were, Dong Zhuo and the three of them were not afraid. But now it is Liu Zhang, and without Liu Zhang's consent, even if he is as domineering as Dong Zhuo, he will not dare to enter the state! What's more, Dong Zhuo and others knew that Liu Zhang had no good impression of these foreigners.
"Look, King!" Beigong Boyu led his subordinates to gallop on horseback, and suddenly Li Wenhou reined in the war horse and pointed ahead in great horror, only to see that not far away, there was a force standing there quietly, about 10,000 people.
After ordering the troops to stop, Beigong Boyu led the generals forward and asked, "Dare to ask who is in the way?" ”
"And the state pastor Liu Zhang!" Liu Zhang wore an armor and helmet, held an overlord gun, and a dragon in his crotch, standing in front of the Qiang army like a god.
