Chapter 375: A New Guard

In this world, whether it is the people or the scholars, they care about their own interests, but the size of the interests, the people care about the interests of the food, the interests of the fields, and the scholars care about the status is the interests of the rights, instead of forcing the people to join the army, it is better to tempt the people with interests! The people are not saints, what they care about is their own interests, they came to this place, came to this barren Yangzhou, isn't it greedy for the few acres of land in Liu Mang's hands and the tax that is only thirty percent, their refusal to join the army is also a conflict of their own interests, the same things that can be obtained, why should I pay for my life.

If you want a person to be loyal or loyal to the country, there are only two possibilities, the first is to teach, use all kinds of singing or books to establish values in their hearts, so that the country or Yangzhou will become a holy place of faith in their hearts, but these people are ordinary poor people, how can they afford to go to school and read, even if it is too late to start reading now.

Therefore, there is only Jia Xu's second method, which is to tempt the people to benefit, as long as there are enough benefits, someone will naturally work.

"Benefits?!" Liu Mang looked at Jia Xu, Jia Xu's old fox is not lacking in a good idea, but what benefits can Liu Mang give to these people! Money? There is a lot of money and longevity, but if you rely on money alone, Liu Mang doesn't trust it at all, what is the difference between such a tribe and those rabble, and the people are more afraid of death when they have more money, and what kind of soldiers do they train.

; Grain and grass? Liu Mang himself is still in short supply of food in the spring, where is there more grain and grass to reward the people. So what other benefits does Liu Mang have to give to these people! Land? Although Liu Mang has a lot of land in his hands, he can't spread it anymore, he still needs to use it for himself when he needs to Tuntian! Moreover, giving too much land to the people can only be a curse for the people, not a blessing.

"My lord, the profit does not have to be money and food. The lord can give a lot! For example, officials! Jia Xu woke up Liu Mang with a word.

Liu Mang's eyes lit up, that's right, there is also a thing called the Gongwu Ape! Under Liu Mang's rule, there is a place in Yangzhou, with more than one million people, which is equivalent to a county and city in the previous life. There are already a lot of officials who need this, but there are not many small officials among them. According to the establishment, at least about 10,000 people are needed, and one person managing 100 people is equivalent to a small village head.

Now in Yangzhou, there are executives like Taishou Beijia, and there are really few low-level officials, whether it is criminal or judicial. The law and order are not on the right track, once there is any murder and brawl, it will be done in the Taishou Mansion, and these Taishou are very busy, and they are not busy to deal with these things.

"Mr. Wenhe has already been in his chest, no wonder he closes his eyes and squints!" Liu Mang got Jia Xu's Jianyì and didn't forget to pit Jia Xu, sure enough, as soon as Liu Mang said this, some other scribes and generals looked at Jia Xu's face. Because they haven't figured it out for so long, are you Jia Xu Jia Wenhe smarter than us, and the most important thing is that you Jia Xu Jia Wenhe came up with it, but you want to pretend to be some master to play these people and treat us all as fools!

"The minister is just dragging the lord Hongfu, and he can only remember it by luck!" Jia Xu just accepted the consequences with a wry smile, he originally just wanted not to offend his colleagues, so he was low-key. But who knows, now that Liu Mang said this, let alone being a low-key person, it is difficult to think of not being high-profile, and it is really offended, except for Ge Jun and Zhang Hu, the two old men of the Xiliang Army, everyone else looks at him Jia Xu's eyes are very unkind.

"Huang Zhong listens to the order!" Liu Mang looked at the generals below and suddenly ordered the generals under his tent.

"Huh?!" Huang Zhong was stunned, he had been protecting Liu Mang, and he also regarded himself as Liu Mang's personal guard, so he stood on Liu Mang's side and said nothing. Who knew that Liu Mang actually shouted at himself this time, which made him stunned for a moment. But then he knelt down to Liu Mang. "The last general!"

"Huang Zhong, this king has appointed you as the general of the garrison, and the task of selecting 300,000 strong soldiers will be handed over to you this time!" Liu Mang said to Huang Zhong, who was kneeling on the ground.

"My lord, I. I! Huang Zhong wanted to sue Liu Mang, he wanted to stay by Liu Mang's side as a personal guard.

But he was stopped by Liu Mang, Huang Zhong was too condescending to be a personal guard, Liu Mang thought for a long time before deciding to make this decision, Huang Zhong is compared to the martial arts, the entire Lu Bu army is only Lu Bu can look down, in terms of talent, he can be regarded as a handsome talent, no less than Zhang Liao.

If Liu Mang just kept Huang Zhong by his side as a personal guard because of Huang Zhong's repayment, it would really be a big waste.

"Huang Zhong, Huang Zhong, don't think that I deliberately left this position for you, but they are too busy!" Liu Mang pointed to a kind of general below and said, Zhao Yun needs to reorganize the White Horse Congyi, Zhang Liao needs to correct the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, Cheng Yu and Huang Xu's Chengguan Army also cooperate very tacitly, Huang Xu Liu Mang can't let him come out alone to lead the army now. There is another person who is Wang Wei under Xu Sheng, Liu Mang also knows that Wang Wei is talented, but he really can't find anyone who can replace Wang Wei as the deputy general of the black chess army. So after thinking about it, Huang Zhong needs to come out.

This is 300,000 strong, even if it is a rabble, even if it is only a reserve, but don't forget it, it is also 300,000, not 3,000, not 30,000, not one who is not good but has something big, and there is no one present who has really organized the action of a large army! And those who have this ability are Huang Zhong and Zhang Liao. Therefore, Liu Mang naturally wanted to hand over this position to Huang Zhong.

"Loyalty!" Huang Zhong looked at Liu Mang and couldn't shirk it, so he could only clench his fists and say, he also knew that this was an opportunity for Liu Mang to give him and an opportunity for his Huang family, it was good to follow Liu Mang's side, after all, he could get Liu Mang's closeness! But don't forget jì, how old is Huang Zhong, how old is Liu Mang, once Huang Zhong is old and can't hold a knife, then this favor will be less.

Liu Mang's territory will get bigger and bigger, and there will be more and more things, how can he always remember Huang Zhong and the Huang family! Even if he has a son in the Chengguan army, but now Huang Zhong is still in the prime of life, although it is not the peak moment, but he also wants to go to the battlefield to make meritorious contributions, and he will seek fame immediately. Wolf Mountain seals Wolf Juxu, this is the dream of these generals, who doesn't want to be Huo Quai. The Huang family has two generals, and even after the war exploits come out, they can have one family and two marquis, so the Huang family can really reach the point of a scholar from an ordinary martial artist.

"Old general. Don't be busy thanking me, your task is very heavy, you are only allowed to succeed and not to fail, once you do it badly, then I will try to ask you Huang Zhong! Liu Mang said ugly that after the reserve was related to the exhibition in Yangzhou, Liu Mang was sparsely populated. In order to be able to have greater war potential, in addition to attacking the land, another thing is to prepare all the people to be soldiers, just like the small countries of South Korea in the previous life, all the able-bodied people of appropriate age must obey military service, once there is a war, they are front-line troops, and if there is no war, they are reserves, they are ordinary people. There are also some heavy projects in Shouchun, such as the dams. Liu Mang is also ready to build, with him, Shouchun can expand several times the fertile land, such a project Liu Mang must be built, before he was afraid that Liu Bei would break the dam and flood Shouchun when he attacked, and now Liu Bei was driven away, Liu Mang's expansion of the army will not let Liu Bei have the next opportunity to enter the hinterland of Yangzhou. It should be said that Liu Mang did not allow any war to be born in Yangzhou, so the 300,000 troops of this reserve are very important.

"Huang Zhong is willing to make a military order! If it doesn't work out, I'm willing to come and see you! Huang Zhong is full of confidence.

"It's good for the old general to have confidence, but the military order is not necessary, I believe in the old general!" Huang Zhong is confident that Liu Mang does not have it, at least not full confidence, he can only hope that this reserve can be trained a little, and the main thing is to use it for work.

"My lord, if Zhong is gone, who will be responsible for your safety!" Huang Zhong was still worried, although he was going to be the general of the 300,000 army, what he thought about was who would escort Liu Mang when he left.

"Old general, you don't have to worry about this!" Liu Mang smiled: "Someone." Let Zhou Zhuang take charge of the strong man and come up! ”

"Huh?!" Huang Zhong frowned, he didn't know what kind of Zhou Zhuang was here, Guan Zhuang Shi! While Huang Zhong frowned, two sturdy men walked forward from outside the hall; Both men use war knives. Both of them are carrying war knives, the one on the left is slightly larger, it looks like he has entered the prime of life and is going to middle age, he looks very burly, and he is quite honest and has an extra scar on his face that can almost wrap the entire face, half of the nose and mouth are gone, and it looks very infiltrating, but the one on the right is a little younger and nearly thirty years old, this person is not as terrifying as the person before, but there is a kind of stupidity, Qi Qi hugged his fist towards Liu Mang and said, "The grass people have seen His Royal Highness the King of Shu!" ”

"Come on, old general, let me introduce you, this strong man standing on the left is Guan Hai, Guan Jian!" Liu Mang pointed to the strong man whose entire face was about to be disfigured and said to Huang Zhong.

"Guan Hai?!" The generals of Liu Mangjun's army below are all monks who can't touch their heads, and few people know each other, but one person was very surprised to call out Guan Hai's name, and this time it was Zhao Yun, who has always been known for his calmness, exclaimed.

Zhao Yun can not be surprised! Guan Hai is not a person he has not encountered, a few years ago, at that time on the Qingzhou Beihai was still Kong Rong Kong Wenju was in charge, this Guan Hai appeared, at that time Guan Hai was the largest Yellow Turban leader in Qingzhou at that time, the boss of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army Guan Hai, that's right, now the Qingzhou soldiers who are the main force in Cao Cao's army are still the Qingzhou Army under the command of Guan Yu, which is his former part of Guan Hai.

"Qingzhou Guanhai?!" Zhao Yun was a little unsure, but as soon as Zhao Yun's words came out, Guan Hai's face over there was a murderous intent, and Zhao Yun's guess was immediately confirmed, and the appearance of this person really made Zhao Yun stunned for a moment, Guan Hai's martial arts are also very strong Kong Rong's soldiers are in Duchang, he led the army to besiege Kong Rong, and once killed Kong Rong's general Zong Bao, it can be seen that Guan Hai's martial arts are still good, but he is still not seen by Zhao Yun, Zong Bao is just a second-rate general, what makes Zhao Yun stunned is that this Guan Hai should be a dead man.

You must know that when Kong Rong Kong Wenju was besieged in Beihai, he sent Tai Shi Ci to look for reinforcements, who was Tai Shi Ci looking for, it was Liu Bei Liu Da'er who was in the plains at that time, at that time Zhao Yun was sent by his old lord Sun Zan to Liu Bei's side, although he Zhao Yun did not directly participate in this battle, but he also knew the outcome of this battle.

Guan Hai was directly killed in Beihai by Liu Bei's second brother Guan Yu Guan Yunchang Shihe, because of Guan Hai's death, which made the entire Qingzhou soldiers and horses chaotic. In the end, the siege of Beihai was lifted, but isn't this Guan Hai dead! How could it have appeared again.

"Exactly!" Guan Hai spoke in a very low tone, as if he didn't want to recall that time. There was a painful look on his face, but he immediately recovered, especially when Zhao Yun mentioned the name Guan Yu, Guan Hai's face was awe-inspiring.

"XX did not die in the hands of Guan Yu. Behind is Guan Yu's death! Guan Hai said, licking his lips, and his hand couldn't help touching the knife in his crotch.

That's right, this person is the former Qingzhou military commander Guan Hai, Guan Hai attacked Beihai back then, and originally had millions of yellow turbans in his hands, even if they were all rabble, but there were tens of thousands of elites, and Liu Bei only had 3,000 elite soldiers in his hands. No matter how strong he Liu Bei is, he can't touch the predicament of Beihai, and he may even put himself in, but Guan Hai made a very strict mistake, he was provoked by Guan Yu, Guan Yu was born very arrogant, and he came to the front of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army single-handedly. said that he wanted Sanhe to kill Guan Hai, but as soon as he said this, Guan Hai jumped up in anger.

Sure enough, Guan Hai went to war, Guan Hai's martial arts are not weak, and it can even be said that he is still very strong in the Yellow Turban Army, otherwise he would not have become a party commander, and he has not been exterminated by the imperial court, four rounds. In five rounds, Guan Yu couldn't take Guan Hai for a long time, even if he won Guan Hai, he would have to be more than Lily, just like Lu Bu beating Zhang Fei, if Guan Hai was killed outside of Lily, then Guan Yu would fail, at least he would have no face to see people, and Guan Hai would definitely run away if he was exhausted, and it would be difficult to kill with the Qingzhou Army.

So Guan Yu and Guan Erye showed a flaw and was caught by Guan Hai, beat his horse and fled, and Guan Hai chased after him regardless of it. In the end, there was only one ending, and Guan Erye's dragging knife skill was chopped off the war horse, Guan Erye's dragging skill was that Huang Zhong couldn't eat it, let alone Guan Hai, as soon as Guan Hai landed, the blood splashed and suddenly didn't move, and Guan Hai fell. The Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army was naturally dispersed under the impact of Liu Bei's army, and the siege of Beihai was suddenly contacted, and Guan Hai, who was cut to the ground, had no one to take care of it, Guan Yu was busy with his eldest brother.

Guan Hai was cut down to the ground, but he didn't die by mistake, and because of the accumulation of corpses, he escaped, and when Guan Hai woke up, the Qingzhou army had been defeated, and the army had been decided, Guan Hai could only kill the few soldiers who cleaned up, and left Beihai with a wound.

Guan Hai has been hidden for many years, he is in the deep mountains, practicing martial arts in the dense forest, and the subordinates are not convened, and they can't be convened, his old brother Guan Hai has long been dead and wounded, and this qiē is all caused by Guan Yu's knife, so Guan Hai's goal is to find Guan Yu and take revenge.

Waiting for Guan Hai to finally break through, it's now, this time is the time when Liu Bei and Liu Mang started the war, Guan Hai didn't catch up with the big war, but he came to Shouchun's recruitment hall, after all, he is a person who has been Qu Shuai, and naturally knows that he doesn't want to take revenge by himself, only by joining the big forces can he have the opportunity to find Guan Yu for revenge, and Liu Beijun has a grudge against Lu Bujun and Cao Cao's army, Cao Cao's attention is all in Hebei now, where is there spare time to manage Liu Bei in Yuzhou, even if it is managed, How could he be reused by Cao Cao for a yellow scarf!

And Liu Mangjun is different, although the current Liu Mangjun and Liu Beijun have only started a war, but for the sake of this Central Plains, sooner or later there will be another war, now it is just a licking of the wounds of both sides, and Liu Mang's Zhaoxian Pavilion is really a meritocracy, he doesn't care about your origin, what if you are the remnant of the Yellow Turban, he Liu Mang is not a person from this world.

It's also a shame that Guan Hai said his real name when he joined the Recruiting Hall, and Liu Mang also happened to know that Guan Hai was such a person, and when he saw Guan Hai's martial arts, what else did Liu Mang need to think! Naturally, Guan Hai was brought under his command.

"As for the one on the right, it's Zhou Zhuangshi, Zhou Cang!" Liu Mang pointed to another strong man on the side and shouted.

As for Zhou Cang on the side, there are few people who know him, but Liu Mang knows it, Zhou Cang, the character Yuanfu, is a character in the historical novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Liu Mang originally thought that there was no such person in the world, but such a living person appeared in front of Liu Mang in front of him, which had to make Liu Mang believe, fortunately, Liu Mang also encountered something that was not recorded in history, and it was not strange.

The reason why this Zhou Cang came to Shouchun is also because of this Guan Erye, Zhou Cang was originally a general under the command of Zhang Bao, the general of the Yellow Turban Thief, after Zhang Bao's death, Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao, who was also a Yellow Turban Army, led their troops to gather in the mountains and forests, and Zhou Cang was different from others. It stands to reason that Guan Yu, the executioner of the Yellow Turban Army, should be the person Zhou Cang hates, but Zhou Cang did the opposite, and he became more and more worshipping Guan Yu. The princes of the Eighteenth Road will be in the tiger prison, Guan Yu Wenjiu killed Hua Xiong, Guan Yu's three brothers besieged Lu Buna, all of whom he worshipped Zhou Cang, Guan Yu cut Guan Hai to relieve the siege of Beihai, and then Guan Yu's qiē, this Zhou Cang worshipped the idol Guan Yu to a certain extent.

But Liu Mang made Guan Yu's idol begin to change in Zhou Cang's heart. Liu Mang thanked General Guan for the arrows, which directly made Guan Yu's scandal famous all over the world, and Jingzhou's famous dish braised turkey also has an idol Guan Erye.

Seeing that his idol was disgraced by another person, he was almost sent back to his hometown, and then Liu Mang even entered Yuzhou, so that the idol Guan Erye guarded Ruyin but did not dare to fight. Regardless of Liu Mang's strategy, this time the idol of God in Zhou Cang's heart was shattered, and the image of the idol was not Zhou Cang's heartache, and under this heartache, he wanted to see who made his idol become such a wolf, so he came to Shouchun and entered the Zhaoxian Pavilion, originally just wanted to see Liu Mang and then go to the idol Guan Erye. But Liu Mang knew that he was Zhou Cang, and would let him go!

Liu Mang is not good at other things, this big flicker technique is still very good, and after a few sentences, this stupid big Zhou Cang stayed.

Guan Hai, Zhou Cang, the martial arts of these two people are not peerless generals, but they are definitely not bad, Guan Hai was able to fight with Guan Yu before without falling behind, but he was cut off the horse after winning Guan Yu's knife dragging technique. It is enough to see his ability, the current Guan Hai is much stronger than before, what about Zhou Cang! Liu Mang has also seen Zhou Cang's knife, and he has the strength of the second-rate peak if he can't reach the first-class, is it still a problem to protect Liu Mang's safety with two people!

The surrounding generals couldn't help but nod. They were all comparing themselves with the two strong men in the field.

Only the corners of the mouth showed disdain, not only did not hide the slightest concealment, but also exhaled directly, "The big Han thief, the remnants of the yellow turban, my lord is merciful, favoring Yuer, etc., don't think about repaying the favor, forget it, and dare to go to the hall with a war knife, I really think that this Shouchun is your family!" ”

"Old general?!" Liu Mang was stunned for a moment, this voice was Huang Zhong who was standing next to Liu Mang, you must know that Huang Zhong is the oldest among the generals, and his son Huang Xu is a general, so Huang Zhong is very kind to Zhao Yun, Xu Sheng and others as an elder, and he has never said anything like this.

And now, although the two people under this hall are good, they are the remnants of the Yellow Turban, but don't forget it, Liu Mang is a meritocracy, and he doesn't care about being born, you must know that if he cares about birth, like Xu Sheng, Gan Ning, one of these people is a former enemy and the other is a Jinfan thief, how can they be in Liu Mang's army!

Liu Mang wanted to stop it, but when he saw Xu Shu, Liu Ye, and Jia Xu who were calm below, his heart suddenly settled down, these three old foxes with outstanding IQ and little foxes still didn't move, if he, the lord, moved first, wouldn't it be a joke!

"Take the war knife, kneel on the ground, and wait for your life, otherwise I will send you to see your Tiangong General!" Huang Zhong sneered at the two very unceremoniously.

"You!" Huang Zhong's words suddenly made the whole scene cold, originally Liu Mang was to introduce two new robes to everyone, Huang Zhong is so good, he is about to become a full martial artist.

Guan Hai Zhou Cang stared at Huang Zhong in unison, Zhou Cang was the first to speak, he is a stupid big man, and he can be regarded as a stubborn temper, otherwise he would not fall into the grass and become a yellow scarf: "Why do you want us to drop our weapons, this is the one that Brother Liu asked us to take to the palace!" Who are you? "Brother Liu? Everyone present was stunned for a moment and shook their heads randomly and smiled bitterly, as long as they are stupid, as long as they are a little hearted, they will call the lord, even if they are not Liu Mangjun, they will call His Royal Highness the King of Shu instead of the current sentence Brother Liu, and a prince is called a brother and brother, except for the same princes, no one really dares to do this, not to mention that Liu Mang is still the title of prince.

Guan Hai also spoke, he stared at Huang Zhong deadly, Zhou Cang couldn't feel it because Zhou Cang was a relatively big nerve, he saw that Huang Zhong subconsciously thought that Huang Zhong was an old man because Huang Zhong's beard was already white because of Huang Xu's problem, instead of treating Huang Zhong as a general, but Guan Hai He could feel the horror of the veteran above, this kind of feeling was like being targeted by a tiger in the woods, that kind of immobility, as soon as he moved, he might suffer the most violent blow from the tiger, if possible, He Guan Hai didn't want to confront this person even if he encountered ten tigers, but now he still had to choose, he still looked at Huang Zhong coldly and replied word by word, "People can die, but knives can't be abandoned!" ”

"You're looking for death! In this case, I, Huang Zhong and Huang Han, will be promoted to fulfill you! The golden-backed machete on Huang Zhong's waist suddenly came out of his body, and a killing intent abruptly rose! Rush towards the two of them!
