Chapter Fifty-Nine: Zhou Cang

"Who are you?" Koji Yi glanced at Zhao Zhao and asked disdainfully.

"Under the command of General Yuan, he joined the army, and his surname is a trick!" He replied cautiously.

Yuan Mai still has some understanding of the little cleverness of the trick, and nodded and said: "What is the best plan for Zijing, come quickly!" ”

Tian Fengnai is a celebrity, and he has heard a lot about some celebrity deeds, and after listening to the registration number, his face moved: "Your Excellency is not the righteous man who escorted Le Yin's body back to his hometown?" ”

He replied with a smile: "It's exactly below." ”

"Well, Your Excellency is a person with affection and righteousness, and there must be great talents, so it doesn't hurt to speak out!" Tian Feng smiled when he heard this, and praised a few words.

He gave a salute and talked eloquently: "Our army's grain and grass were robbed in Changshan Country, and the minister of state should be held responsible. Changshan country is a large county in terms of output, with 70,000 or 80,000 stone grains and grasses, and there are still some of them. ”

Tian Feng thought for a moment, and said approvingly: "The only plan for today seems to be the only way." Our grain and grass were robbed in Changshan Country, not Dong Cen, but who? ”

The plan stopped, and the generals dispersed. Koji Yijia sent men to strengthen patrols at night, and began to set up sentry posts from three or five miles away from the camp.

Yuan Mai returned to the tent with a tired body, and still felt a lot about today's vicious battle, this is just a melee of tens of thousands of people, it is so bloody, so cruel, thinking that the battle of more than 100,000 people will be bloody, and the corpses will be in the wilderness.

"General, today I captured a thief among the Black Mountain thieves, extremely fierce, I thought that Gongzi was thirsty for talent, so I didn't kill him, and waited for the general to deal with it?" As soon as Yuan Mai felt sleepy, Hao Zhao walked in and reported.

"Thieves? How is the martial arts? Hearing that a talent had been captured, Yuan Mai suddenly became interested and asked with vigor.

"Although it is not as good as the prince, it is much better. What's more, this person is not afraid of death, if he can be subdued, he should be a rare general. Hao Zhao stood solemnly and said very humbly.

"Huh...... Bo Dao is modest, the Black Mountain thieves are a rabble, and there are probably not many who can defeat you. Yuan Mai thought that Hao Zhao was modest, and patted him on the shoulder and said.

"It's not that Hao Zhao is modest, I'll let someone bring it up, and the son will know it at a glance!"

After Hao Zhao finished speaking, he shouted outside the tent, "Escort that thief up." In a moment, several soldiers pushed a black-faced man into Yuan Mai's tent.

Yuan Mai looked at it fixedly, good guy, it was really a man. I saw that he was eight feet tall, unusually strong, his exposed muscles were as hard as a rock, his face was dark, and half of his face was covered by beard, and when he came in, his eyes were wide open, staring at Yuan Mai, and he was silent.

"What a man, why is he a thief?" Yuan Mai looked at this thief with a smile on his face, and before he could ask his name, he had a slight taste of appreciation.

"Hmph, the court is mediocre, and the people are not happy. What do you eat if you don't follow the thief? It's better than starving! The black-faced man snorted coldly and replied.

"I don't know the name of the strong man?" Yuan Mai wanted to ask him who he was first, if he was a person with a name and a surname, I should loosen the tie personally. Isn't it all the way when the victor interprets the heroes in romance novels?

"Hmph, if you don't change your name, if you don't change your surname, Zhou Cang is also!"

"Zhou Cang?" Yuan Mai was surprised and delighted, could this be Zhou Cang who carried the big knife for Guan Gong? That's right, look at his appearance, isn't it Zhou Cang in the novel!

In Yuan Mai's thinking, many later generations of bricks said that there was no such person in history, but it was fictional, so they didn't think it was him, and they were happy to hear him report his name at this moment. Although Zhou Cang's IQ is average, and he can't lead troops into battle, he should be much better than an unknown person like the Fan brothers to be a bodyguard or something.

In the romance, Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army, Zhou Cang was skillful in water, and he went into the water to capture the fierce general Pang De, which is the most colorful stroke in his life history! In this period when talents are almost divided, being able to receive a warrior like Zhou Cang is already the biggest gain!

"Oops, it turned out to be Zhou Zhuangshi, who has been famous for a long time, and he was offended!"

Yuan Mai learned from the ancients, personally loosened the rope tied to Zhou Cang's body, and said while unraveling: "Captain Hao doesn't know that it is Zhou Zhuangshi, please ......forgive me for the offense."

Zhou Cang was a little surprised, this person eats soft and not hard, if you come to cross with him, he will not give in if he cuts off his head, but if he plays soft, his brain will not be enough. Some of the second monks were puzzled and said: "I am just a military candidate under the commander of Dahong Qu, you are the son of Yuan Zhoumu, but how do you know my name?" ”

"I have long heard that the highest martial artist in the Yellow Turban Army is a warrior named Zhou Cang, but unfortunately he is not reused. Otherwise, if Zhou Zhuangshi can be a party commander, he will definitely make a difference. Yuan Mai couldn't say the allusion to Zhou Cang, so he could only close his eyes and make it up, and beckoned him to sit down: "Zhou Zhuangshi, please sit down, I've been tied for a long time, I'm afraid my arms are a little numb, right?" ”

"It's not tight, I'm not afraid of death, are you still afraid of being tied up?" Zhou Cang said very heartily, and said: "I don't dare to claim to be strong in martial arts, but under Da Hong, I have the highest martial arts, but it's a pity that Da Hong doesn't reuse me!" Otherwise, it would not have been possible to lose so badly today. I used to follow Zhang Man into a handsome mix, but then Zhang Shuai died, and I took refuge in Dahong halfway, so I was not trusted by him. Zhang Shuai competed with me when he was alive, and the two of us were half a catty. ”

Seeing Zhou Cang's pleasant face, he was no longer as hostile as he was at the beginning. Yuan Mai was happy in his heart, it seems that he is expected to accept Zhou Cang, in history, he admired Guan Yu's martial arts, so he was willing to lead a horse and carry a knife for him, I have to find Wang Shuang, a guy with strong martial arts, to accompany him to drink, so that he can join my command.

Hao Bodao. Hurry up and summon Wang Shuanghe, let's have a drink with this Zhou Zhuangshi! Yuan Mai gave the order and ordered the soldiers to set up a table of wine banquets.

Zhou Cang was a little puzzled, at the beginning, he was still a prisoner, how could he have a blink of an eye, and he had to set up a banquet to entertain himself, and he couldn't turn a corner for a while, "I won't surrender to you and kill your brother, you don't want to talk to me, since I Zhou Cang has followed the great sage and good teacher, I will not go against his disciples again!" ”

"Hehe, don't worry, Zhou Zhuangshi, I won't let you kill your brothers when you come. On the contrary, I would prefer to have them join my army, to confer official positions on them, and to make them accomplished. Second, if Zhou Zhuangshi is unwilling to create a foundation with Yuan, after drinking, you will leave yours, and no one will force you. ”

Yuan Mai pulled Zhou Cang to the table and sat down, the first half of what he said was heartfelt, and the second half of the sentence was hypocritical. Zhou Cang wants to leave, can you let him go? If it is used, it will be just used, and if it cannot be used, it will be erased from the world. In Yuan Mai's heart, he has already demanded himself with such a code of conduct!

It was not a good effort, Wang Shuanghe led Hao Zhaodu to come to Yuan Mai's military camp, although he was a little disdainful of drinking with the Black Mountain thieves, but seeing that Zhou Cang was quite powerful, he did not despise it, and the son had a life and a good wine to drink, so they all came to Yuan Mai's camp to drink.

"Zhou Zhuangshi, the world is big, and the power of the Yellow Turban is weak, do you still want to go back to be a Black Mountain thief? If you serve under my command, I will first make you a military candidate, and if you make meritorious service in the future, you will not be allowed to become a knight! Yuan bought a few drinks, and when he saw that the time was ripe, he advised.

Zhou Cang pondered for a moment, got up and knelt down on one knee: "If Gongzi promises that I won't kill the prisoners of the Black Mountain Army, I will be willing to die for you!" ”

Yuan Mai laughed and helped Zhou Cang up: "Okay, good...... Zhou Zhuangshi is really affectionate and righteous. How about the captured Montenegrin Army, who are willing to join the army, and those who are unwilling to be repatriated to their hometowns to be good citizens? ”

"Okay, in that case, I Zhoucang will work hard for my son and repay you for your kindness!" Zhou Cang laughed heartily, determined to serve Yuan Mai. Damn, the officers and soldiers are not as vicious and vicious as the commanders say? Besides, I can still be an official, so I will take refuge in the Yuan family!
