Liu Bei went to Xiangyang to visit Liu Biao, Liu Biao said about the Jiangxia war, Liu Bei already knew almost everything, he was relieved at the moment, stayed for a few days, and then returned.

Before returning, I visited Liu Xian by the way, and Liu Bei mentioned during the conversation between the two: "Liu Beijia, I promised to find a teacher for Budo before, a few days ago, I went to visit Mr. Shuijing in Shuijingzhuang, his knowledge is extraordinary, there is thaumaturgy, if you still want to apprentice, I am going to take him to see, I don't know how Liu Bei drives." ”

Liu Xian sighed lightly, these days, he was planning to escort Zhou Budo to the north again, he was afraid of encountering accidents again, and Zhou Budo was unwilling to go, and now seeing Liu Bei proposed to apprentice, he planned that Zhou Budo had a master, and he was busy with learning and the master's discipline, so he would not be so noisy, so he agreed: "There is Lao Liu Envoy, since this is the case, let Budo go." No one cares about the whole day in the province, delaying the good time. ”

After that, the two chatted some more, and Liu Bei said goodbye and left.

The next day, Zhou Budo dressed neatly, came to Xinye, accompanied by Liu Bei and Xu Shu, and went to Shuijingzhuang to meet Sima Hui.

Sima Hui entertained everyone, and Liu Bei pleaded after explaining his intentions: "I don't doubt that I am smart and sensitive, and I am very teachable. ”

Sima Hui smiled and said: "The envoy is too polite, but he has no name in vain, so the gentleman is still serious." ”

Liu Bei said: "Sir, if I look at Yuan Zhicai, I can know that Mr. is so humble, why should Mr. be so modest?" ”

Sima Hui stroked his beard and said: "Since the envoy is so respected, then I am a little ignorant of the promotion, okay, I will accept this apprentice." ”

Liu Bei turned his head and said, "No doubt, come and apprentice." ”

Zhou Budo immediately stepped forward and said, "Student Zhou Budo visits the master." ”

Mr. Shuijing, Sima Hui, helped Zhou Budo to say three good words in a row, and then pointed to Xu Shu and said, "Come, no doubt, I have seen your senior brother." ”

Zhou Budo stepped forward to meet Xu Shu and said, "Mr. Xu, from today onwards, we will be senior brothers, and I will thank Mr. for his previous teachings." ”

Then, Zhou Budo bowed again: "Senior brother, there is no doubt that it is polite." ”

Xu Shu returned the salute and said, "Senior brother." ”

After that, Sima Hui entertained Liu Bei, Liu Bei instructed Zhou Budo to study well, after dark, Liu Bei and Xu Shu returned to Xinye, and Zhou Budo stayed to study.

Liu Bei, with the assistance of Xu Shu, began to plan the management of the people of Xinye, setting up a neighborhood chief for every five neighbors, a tun chief for every ten neighborhoods, and a township chief for every ten neighborhoods, so as to maintain the youth and strength of each neighborhood within a reasonable range.

In this way, take care of each other and help each other. Responsibilities are clear and easy to manage.

Liu Bei of the army also carried out restructuring, and continued the previous establishment of the Han Dynasty, Shi, Qu, etc., but the number of people was changed, stipulating:

Set up a chief to lead ten people, called a team of ten, set up a chief to lead ten teams of ten people, called a team of 100 people, set up a general to lead ten teams of 100 people, called a team of 1,000 people, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other generals to lead a team of ten thousand people, called an army.

Liu Bei ordered Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to personally lead the team to train the soldiers and horses, and at the same time instructed Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to try their best to remember the names of all the soldiers under their respective subordinates, and the names of the generals above the rank of each other should be remembered!

As soon as Zhang Fei heard this, he greeted and said, "Big brother, I have 6,000 people under my command, how can I remember it, and what is the use of these ordinary pawns and their names?"

Liu Bei knew that Guan Yu was better and knew how to sympathize with the soldiers, but Zhang Fei was different, he looked down on the soldiers and was mostly a small person, and he didn't take them to heart at all.

When Liu Bei heard this, he immediately thought, "It's time for you to change your temper." ”

Then he said, "What, is this difficult?" Now we can say that we are in the most difficult time, sending people under the fence, and strong enemies are watching.

And at this most difficult time, these 12,000 soldiers are still with us, shouldn't we thank them, soldiers are the foundation of the general's meritorious service.

Lu Yao knows that the horsepower has been seen in the hearts of the people for a long time, and now it is the people who are truly loyal to us who do not leave us, and once the opportunity comes, our soldiers and horses will be more and more, at that time, how many of these soldiers can be left now, remembering their names is not only to remember the years of our struggle, but also to remember the memories that will never be forgotten.

Yide, I know, you look down on them, but our three brothers are not ordinary people, why do you forget your roots when you have a little identity? ”

Zhang Fei said: "How can I have it, big brother." ”

Xu Shu interjected: "Third general, don't forget that there is also me, a market ranger. ”

Everyone laughed. Liu Bei said: "Yide, remember, to forget them is to forget our former selves." ”

Xu Shu said: "The lord sees that we don't occupy the sky, and we don't have a location to rely on, so let's gather people." ”

Zhang Fei said: "I know big brother. ”

Liu Bei said: "Okay, set up a military order." This military order is a bit special, once you whip a soldier, I won't beat you, I want you to write a notice and apologize in front of the new wild people and soldiers. ”

Zhang Fei was taken aback and said, "This, no, big brother." ”

Liu Bei's face sank and said: "You are not allowed to have an opinion, come and stand quickly, your second brother and Yuan Zhi are witnesses." ”

Zhang Fei had no choice, he made a military order with a bitter face, and Liu Bei said to Guan Yu again: "Second brother, you will go to the military camp later." ”

Zhang Fei couldn't help but feel a little dizzy when he heard it, the eldest brother made it clear to himself, and Guan Yu took it and agreed.

Xu Shu also formulated military discipline, Liu Bei ordered it to be read out to all the soldiers, and then sent literate people to teach military discipline to the soldiers, so that everyone knew it, everyone could write, and everyone abided by it.

Spring and autumn alternately, time flies, time passes in a blink of an eye, because Liu Bei is in good health after taking the immortal peach, and pays attention to exercise, so Mrs. Gan Jian'an gave birth to Liu Chan in seven years, and now he is three years old.

The Yuan brothers in the north struggled like the setting sun in Cao Cao's attack.

Liu Bei sent Jian Yong to Jiangxia several times to inquire about the situation and see if there could be an opportunity to rise up to Jiangxia.

But every time it ended in disappointment, and this time it was the same, Jian Yong returned to Xinye and brought back the news of Jiangxia's calm.

Liu Bei let out a long sigh and said in his heart: "God, God, where is my Liu Bei's first day!"

Jian Yong saw that Liu Bei was silent and said, "But this time it's not like there is no gain at all, I brought back the person you were worried about." ”

Liu Bei was stunned and said, "What." ”

Turning his head and thinking about it, he immediately understood: "Could it be Gan Ning Gan Xingba." ”

Jian Yong said: "It's this person, this person is now outside the door, do you go to greet him in person, or do I call him in." ”

Liu Bei straightened his clothes and said, "Quick, lead me forward."

Jian Yong laughed and turned his head and said, "Xingba, my lord has come out to greet you."

I saw a big man in the hall turn around and say: "Gan Ning Gan Xingba pays a visit to Liu Yuanjun."

Liu Bei picked up Gan Ning and said: "Xingba, please get up, how can I Liu Bei, how can I do it, I actually work hard to see Xingba."

Gan Ning said: "How dare you, I have heard the name of the king for a long time, and it is really fortunate to see it today."

The three of them entered the courtroom and sat down, and the three of them began to talk, talking about the depths. Jian Yong said: "Xingba is good at water kung fu, Huang Zu is a mediocre person, and he can't use it."

Gan Ning smiled: "Mr. Jian praised it, but he blamed his bad background."

Liu Bei got up and walked in front of Gan Ning and said: "Xingba, why did you say this, the prince will have a kind of Xiangning, and Emperor Gaozu was just a Surabaya pavilion chief back then." Xingba, I'll tell you the truth, with your water kung fu to deepen your knowledge of Jingzhou's reality, if you devote yourself to Jiangdong, you will inevitably be reused. The land of Jingzhou will make it useless for you to dominate you. I Liu Bei is not talented, although you and I meet for the first time, but I feel that God sent you to me, I can't miss it, forgive me for taking the liberty of it, I implore you to stay and help me to achieve a great cause. "Say goodbye, give a deep salute.

Gan Ning hurriedly got up and helped Liu Bei up and said: "Envoy, Gan Ning is just a water thief, how can he afford to be so loved by Envoy."

Liu Bei Zhengse said: "Manly husband, why do you say this, Huang Zu doesn't need you, you are a lost talent in Jingzhou, and it will be a blessing for you to stay."

Gan Ning said: "Thank you for making Jun so loving, I have known Mr. Jian for a while, Ning also knows a lot about what Jun does, and admires it very much in my heart, how dare I disobey you when you open your mouth today!"

Liu Bei was overjoyed and said: "With Xingba to help me, the Han family is expected to prosper again." ”

Gan Ning couldn't help but boil his blood and said: "The envoy takes me so seriously, which makes Gan Ning panic. Today, I would rather have a word that I hope you will hear. ”

Liu Bei said: "I want to hear it in detail."

Gan Ning said: "Now that the Han family is in decline, Your Majesty is covered with dust, Cao Cao is rampant, and he will usurp the throne for a long time. If Cao Cao pacifies the north, he will inevitably go south, and then Jingzhou will inevitably suffer, so that Jun Su will win the heart of the world, and he should start with Jingzhou as the foundation, and be in the world of Xu Tu, otherwise, he will miss the opportunity and regret it too late. ”

Liu Bei said happily: "Xingba is really a general's talent, and his knowledge is extraordinary. Xingba's policy is reasonable, and reviving the Han Dynasty is my obsession. It's just that it's inconvenient to implement it at the moment, so we need to wait for the right time. Liu Biao accepted me when I retreated, and treated me as benevolent and righteous, and I could not take revenge. ”

Gan Ning said: "What the envoy said is also true, the eldest husband should be gracious and righteous. Despite this, Liu Biao is not a person who entrusts big things. I am willing to return to Jiangxia to see if I can help you. ”

Liu Bei said: "So there is Lao Xingba. Xingba but if you need it, you can send someone to come. ”

Gan Ning promised. Liu Bei said again: "It is a happy thing in life to return to me. Let's stay for a few days. How is it. ”

Gan Ning arched his hand and said: "Disturb the king." ”

Liu Bei said: "Why should Xingba say anything from the outside. ”

Immediately set up a feast to entertain you. But for fear of exposure, only Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Xu Shu are accompanied, Gan Ning is straightforward and heroic, but he is also very speculative with Guan Zhang.

Three days later, Gan Ning returned to Jiangxia, Liu Bei said goodbye, Gan Ning said: "Lord, I'd rather go to Jiangxia, act when the opportunity comes, and when the time is ripe, I will help the lord to achieve great things."

Liu Bei said: "Xingba be careful, take care." The two broke up without mentioning it.

After Gan Ning left, Liu Bei turned his head to Jian Yong and said, "This time, I can get the merit of Xingba and Xianhe." ”

Jian Yong said with a smile: "Where, if it weren't for the lord who asked me to go to Jiangxia, where would I know Gan Ning." is also the lord Hongfu, Huang Zu doesn't need Gan Ning anyway, and Gan Ning shot Jiangdong general Ling Cao, and he is hesitant to go to Jiangdong. In a dilemma, I took the opportunity to move. ”

Liu Bei let out a sigh, as if he had exhaled all his boredom, his heart was happy, and he secretly thought to himself: "Jiangxia is the place where I rise, and now there is Gan Ning as the internal response, and great things can be expected." Gan Ning is good at water warfare and is an excellent candidate for the commander of the water army. God help me! ”
