Chapter 44 Two visits to the thatched house

A week after the battle, Zhang Fei's military camp.

Zhang Feile looked at the soldiers in his own battalion, and he felt pleasing to the eye.

Zhang Xi behind him didn't think it was right.

If this is coupled with the armor uniform, the proper Ming Dynasty Qi family army crosses the scene on a large scale.

The equipment in the army was also changed by Zhang Fei, and there were two guys carrying two bamboo poles all day long in every ten people.

What I know is that I am equipped with a wolf sword, but I don't know that I think that Liu Beijun is so poor that he can only let soldiers carry bamboo as weapons.

Imagine the battlefield in the future, in the originally serious and neat Liu Bei's army, such a team with a variety of weapons suddenly appeared...... Well, I hope Liu Bei's mental quality is strong enough.

I guess so...... After all, it's Emperor Zhaolie.

Zhang Fei completely used the simulated version of the Mandarin Duck Array that Zhang Xi had figured out by himself to the whole army.

After all, unlike Zhang Xi, who is half a bucket of water in the army, Zhang Fei is a veteran general in the army and has extremely rich experience, and there are some problems that Zhang Xi needs to ponder to find in many ways, Zhang Fei knows what to do at a glance.

For example, Zhang Xi has always been dissatisfied with the problem of long-range firepower of archers, and Zhang Fei easily solved it.

Zhang Xi's idea was to have the archers assemble before the battle, shoot a few rounds of arrows, and then return to the team to act as waist knife men...... This involves a question of the timing of the formation coordination after joining the team.

It is basically impossible for the soldiers of this age to cooperate perfectly, and there will always be people who loosen the formation to a certain extent due to various problems.

The last time Zhang Fei conducted a military exercise against Zhang Xi, Zhang Fei seized this moment of loosening of the formation, sent troops to assault Zhang Xi, and divided Zhang Xi's team into two pieces, or even more.

Zhang Fei's way of solving this matter is very simple and rude, he specially picked out one hundred and fifty people, full-time archers, after shooting arrows, these archers do not need to return to the battle, directly as the commander's Chinese army guards, and in the actual mandarin duck array, the configuration of archers is directly canceled, and the waist knife soldiers are only responsible for killing the enemy in close quarters, and there is no longer a need for archery.

In this way, although the coach also needs to move forward when attacking, when defending, he can maximize the characteristics of the mandarin duck formation, and operate with the coach as the center, and no longer need to worry about being unable to command effectively after being divided.

The manager is in the middle, and if this can still be divided, it means that the manager himself is already in danger...... Then there is no need for the enemy to divide you, just attack the boss directly.

Of course, this is also because the coach is Zhang Fei, and he really dares to do this, because he believes that even if he faces a small assault force, he is confident to lead the guards around him to fight back.

If Zhang Xi is replaced, it is estimated that there will be only one result left - to be caught.

All in all, Zhang Fei improved the simulated version of the Mandarin Duck Formation, which really made this unit look more combative.

Actually, no one knows if you don't really go to the battlefield to fight.

However, judging from the exercise, this unit will have a very good chance of winning, not to mention attacking the city, but at least engaging people on flat ground.

At least that's what Zhang Fei thinks, and then this is the goods..... It's a.

This black guy will basically only do one thing - go to his eldest brother to brag.

Liu Bei was also blown by Zhang Fei at the beginning, but blowing and blowing, this black guy was blowing a little too much.

"Even the eldest brother's own soldiers came to fight, and I dare to ask them to come and go!"

That's it, that is, if Liu Bei really treats Zhang Fei as a brother, if you change to Boss Cao, I'm afraid that the black guy should worry about when he will be borrowed.

The subordinates felt that their soldiers could easily kill the lord's own soldiers...... What do you mean?!

Liu Bei only thought that Zhang Fei was bragging at first, and he didn't mind the third brother saying such things to himself, but ...... Liu Bei is also a veteran, and he is also proud of a soldier.

Not to mention anything else, Liu Bei trusted his own personal troops with a million trusts.

Trust not only in their loyalty, but also in their fighting power.

Liu Bei's pro-soldier troops, that was the famous white soldier later.

The current commander of this army is Wei Yan, and the previous commander is Chen Dao.

It's not that Chen Zhi was beaten to the end by Liu Bei, the main reason is that Liu Bei felt that Wei Yan had the ability to command a large army, but now his own troops were limited, and he couldn't give Wei Yan a chance to train the army, so he let Wei Yan temporarily take charge of the Bai Yu Army.

As for Chen...... That is Liu Bei's real confidant, temporarily wronged, responsible for the intelligence work around him Liu Bei.

And whether it was Chen Zhi or Wei Yan, Liu Bei didn't feel that the ability of his own henchmen and personal army leaders was poor.

Although for the time being, it is not as good as Guan and Zhang's ability to lead the army and attack the city, nor is it as good as Zhao Yun's specialty in training and commanding cavalry, but when it comes to commanding his own personal soldiers and giving full play to the maximum combat effectiveness of his personal soldiers, Liu Bei still believes in them.

Is it true that he has been able to run around all these years, relying on his own luck and running fast?!

Without the protection of the pro-soldiers around him, he Liu Bei had been arrested I don't know how many times.

As soon as Liu Bei's arrogance came up, he argued with Zhang Fei for a few words, and then he was squeezed by Zhang Fei and promised to try it with Zhang Fei's army in the drill code.

Liu Bei's pro-army had 500 people, so it was decided that each side would send 500 people to face each other on the school field.

Zhang Feile returned to the camp and told Zhang Xi and the colonels of each battalion about this, and the next day he began to select 500 people in the army, and selected 500 people to fight.

You must know that if these 500 people win, they will not only get a reward from Zhang Fei for storing wine, but also a reward from the lord Liu Bei...... Double reward, who doesn't want it?!

Of course, Zhang Fei's ultimate goal is not a reward, he has no shortage of these things.

Zhang Fei's purpose, in addition to showing off, was also to let Liu Bei see Zhang Xi's ability, and hoped that this training method could be extended to the whole army.

The final selection result was that 300 people were selected from Zhang Fei's army, plus 150 people from Kou Feng's army, to form 450 people to participate in the battle.

It's not that I don't want to add more people, the key is that the training of the Mandarin Duck Formation is not completely mature, and there are only so many people who can really fully master the operation of the formation and obey the orders of the coach.

Kou Feng's troops were the first to train the Mandarin Duck Formation, and they were the most experienced.

Zhang Fei's troops are the strongest in terms of physical fitness and combat effectiveness, and Zhang Fei is easy to command.

Other troops do not have this prerequisite, after all, the new method of training the army, in the case of unskill, is not more than the merrier.

Zhang Feile continued to preside over training in the camp, while Zhang Xi was called away by Xu Shu again.

It's been almost a month since the last time I visited Zhuge Liang.

In the past month, Liu Bei was busy building a good relationship with the Huang family, the Pang family and other big families in Jingzhou, and also contacted the son-in-law Liu Qi, and the son-in-law Liu Qi was drinking and chatting, Liu Qi was moved, and the "uncle" had already been called.

The preliminary preparations are being carried out in an orderly manner, and Xu Shu thinks that it is almost time to plan what to do next.

By the way, Xu Shu also persuaded Liu Bei again, saying that Zhuge Liang had "the talent of the heavens and the earth, and the wisdom of stabilizing the country", and persuaded Liu Bei to visit again and ask Zhuge Liang to come out of the mountain.

Liu Bei readily agreed.

The first time they met, they gave themselves a strategic plan, and now Liu Bei is also a little looking forward to what Zhuge Liang will prepare for himself when they meet for the second time.

And Zhuge Liang naturally did not disappoint Liu Bei, and on his second visit, Zhuge Liang gave Liu Bei a "closed door".

"My husband went out to meet friends, as short as a few days, as long as half a month, and the return date is uncertain."

Xu Shu was so embarrassed that he almost wanted to slam the door directly.

Zhuge Liang is not at home, is he going out to meet friends, can Xu Shu not know? !

Before bringing Liu Bei to visit, Xu Shu wrote a letter to tell Zhuge Liang, for fear that this product would go out to play again and be not at home...... What's going on now, play me?!

But Xu Shu is not easy to debunk.

If Liu Bei knew this, Zhuge Liang was obviously at home but avoided it...... There will be no next time, Zhuge Liang, you will die in the mountains and forests.

And Xu Shu also knew why Zhuge Liang did this.

Zhuge Liang is a person who has read a lot of books, so he also believes in what the books say.

He believes that looking at people can be considered from seven aspects.

Occasionally look at its aspirations by right and wrong; The poor occupy the rhetoric and watch the changes; Consult it with a plan and look at its knowledge; Tell him to see his courage in calamity; drunk to see its sex; In order to benefit and look at its cheapness; It is expected to be based on the facts.

In the first six items, in addition to being drunk with wine, Zhuge Liang had already tested Liu Bei when they met for the first time, and the results also made Zhuge Liang very satisfied.

Only for the last item, Zhuge Liang couldn't draw a conclusion for the time being.

He is a man in the mountains, how can he expect Liu Bei, the general of Zuo, to do something? !

Although it can't be expected, Zhuge Liang also has to look at his belief and see what Liu Bei's attitude towards himself is, whether he can do it from the beginning, whether he can use it when he uses it, and throw it aside when he doesn't need it? !

That's why he was obviously at home, but he deliberately said that he was out, just to see Liu Bei's reaction.

And Liu Bei's reaction was the same as what was written in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Although Liu Bei was a little disappointed that he couldn't see Zhuge Liang, he also expressed his understanding, and personally left a letter, asking the boy to hand it over to Zhuge Liang, and then bowed to the grass house before leaving with Zhang Xi and Xu Shu.

To a certain extent, Liu Bei's personality charm is really strong.

After eating a closed-door soup, or a white-bodied closed-door soup, Liu Bei was not angry at all, and on the way back, he kept praising Zhuge Liang, feeling that it was unfortunate to come this time, and he couldn't talk to the virtuous people.

This is really not acting, facing Xu Shu and Zhang Xi, Liu Bei doesn't need to act at all.

If he is really dissatisfied, just keep his mouth shut, anyway, his Liu Bei's character is not the Uncle Liu Huang who cries at every turn in the romance line, Liu Bei in this world is closer to historical facts, he is really a person who is invisible.

It can be seen that Liu Bei is really regretting that he didn't see Zhuge Liang this time.

And the more Liu Bei behaved like this, the more Xu Shu felt ashamed...... Not only did he feel ashamed that he failed to complete his mission, but he also felt that Kong Ming was ashamed to use such a small trick.

If you don't vote for such a clear master, you still have to tempt it...... Zhuge Liang's way of looking at people is nothing more than that.

Xu Shu finally didn't expose Zhuge Liang's meaning, but took Zhang Xi, who didn't know anything, and accompanied Liu Bei back to Xinye.

And a few days after returning to Xinye, it was the day of Liu Bei's army.
