The south wind of the snow-capped mountains melts the snow juice and turns it into the water of the Minjiang River.

I don't know how many paintings are new, but I feel that there are thousands of thunders in front of the building.

The Minjiang River, as one of the major water systems in Bashu, is an important factor why this place can become the land of abundance.

The famous Dujiangyan is on this river, just a little northwest of Chengdu, the destination of Liu Chan's trip.

They set off by land, and at this time they returned north by the boat provided by the county magistrate Zhang free of charge.

After all, with so many old and weak women and children, and so much grain and grass to be escorted, even if it is an anti-epidemic ship, it is much faster than taking a land route.

And one cannot march day and night, but can sail day and night by taking turns rocking the oars.

The only downside is ......

"Vomit ——!"

Because it was the first time to take a boat, Hu Li, who was very excited when he first came up, had already hugged the boat gang at this time, and vomited all the meat that was desperately packed into his stomach at the county magistrate's house in Zhang's house.

The two legs vomited softer than the third, and I almost couldn't stand up.

"Lord, lord...... How long will it take for us to ...... Can I get off the boat? ”

Although the boat was against the current, it had a tailwind.

Liu Chan made a slight calculation and said with a smile: "At most, two days can be in Chengdu." ”

Hu Li's face turned blue again when he heard this: "yue——!! ”

……

The people who live in the mountains all the year round have basically never taken a boat, and there are not a few people like Hu Li, or even worse.

Fortunately, the wind and waves in the river are not like the sea, and most of them have adapted to it after a long time, and there is finally no non-combat attrition by the time they disembark.

When they landed, the trail was lively.

Travelers on the way, caravans of goods, merchants on foot......

Even in troubled times, at least near Chengdu, there is still a bit of stability.

Liu Chan did not bring all the people in the cottage back to Chengdu, but divided his troops into two routes, escorting the old and weak women and children all the way first.

On the other road, he took the young man in the village to an open field that was still more than ten miles away from Chengdu City.

There was a large log barracks, which looked like it could easily accommodate at least a thousand people, unlike the makeshift camps they had set up on the road.

The top of the wooden wall is sharpened, there is a rejection of horses outside the gate of the wall, the four corners are expected to be built, the wall is displayed with a flag, and the red edge flag is written with a big Liu character.

This is the base camp of Liu Chan's daily garrison training.

It is also rumored that he hangs out with homeless people and bandits every day.

Every log here was cut down and built by him, without any help from others.

With the acquiescence of Zhuge Junshi, although other officials complained about Liu Chan's illegal construction, they were not good at interfering.

The sentries on the watchtower had seen Liu Chan's team early, and when they approached at this time, hundreds of strong men rushed out.

Quickly lined up in front of them, then knelt down on one knee.

"Greetings Major General!"

The shouts were neat and powerful, and the momentum was extraordinary, just like the soldiers under Liu Chan's command.

At least Hu Li didn't see any difference.

If I have to say it, they all have envy on their faces.

Hu Li didn't know what they were envencing, at least not because of his own surrendered bandits......

Liu Chan nodded: "Get up, go back to the camp and practice as usual." ”

"Yes!"

And they went back again, as they had come, hula la la.

"The villain thought that there were only 500 soldiers under the lord, but he didn't expect that the lord was confident and only brought out 500." Hu Li sighed.

Feeling that this gang of bandits is nothing in the eyes of the lord, and he obviously doesn't bring extra soldiers.

"Huh? I really only have five hundred soldiers, and they are not enough to be soldiers, they are only reserves. ”

“……”

Hu Li, who had just recovered from seasickness, almost spurted out another mouthful of old blood.

Such a well-trained man is not enough to be a soldier??

In other words, do you still need conditions to be a soldier?

It's the first time I've heard of Hu Lichang when he's so old, isn't it just a man to be a soldier and a living?

If you catch up with the government's forced military service, you can't even think about it, what are the conditions?

It's been a few days since they got along, and Liu Chan knew what kind of fart he was holding in his heart when he saw this kid's expression.

However, at this time, he didn't elaborate, only said: "You first take the young and strong people in the village to take a look, and if you want to stay as a soldier under my command, if you don't want to, I will arrange a place with the old and weak, and I will never force it." ”

Seeing this, Hu Li didn't ask much, and went in with more than two hundred equally curious young men.

It was just that the soldiers who had escorted him all the way were smiling at this time.

The composition of that smile is a little complicated, like waiting to see a joke, and it seems to be a little nostalgic.

About a moment later.

These men scrambled to come out again, and their eyes were green.

plopped and fell to his knees, and some people even used the high-end technique of slipping and kneeling.

"I'm willing to be a soldier!"

"I do, too!"

"I'll come out first!"

"I'll get down on my knees first!"

These bandits immediately made a chaotic noise, in stark contrast to the soldiers in front of them.

Hu Li, who came out from behind, felt a little ashamed, and he was too unproductive to copycat these people.

There's no way, they're all rough people who haven't seen the world, and they can't be expected to be like themselves...... Kneeling so gracefully.

"My lord! And me, me, Hu Li! Damn who pulled my pants! ”

Hu Li came out late, and squeezed forward violently at this time, but he didn't squeeze far and was pulled back by the pushers and grabbers.

Everyone else is also green-eyed, the cottage is scattered, everyone is a soldier, who cares if you are the former owner of the village.

Liu Chan also felt a little funny, this was not the first time that the scene in front of him had been staged.

Of course, he knew why it had this effect, because it was time for dinner, and the camp should be eating.

The bandits had not yet entered the barracks when they smelled a strong smell of meat.

This is not the smell of air-dried meat, the thieves who have just opened meat at County Magistrate Zhang's know that this is the smell of stewed fresh meat!

Although it is relatively cheap and fishy pork, it is also meat!

A thief wiped his harazi and mustered up the courage to come forward and ask, could it be that today is a festival?

The reserve soldier mysteriously approached and whispered to him......

"What?! Meat to eat every day? ”

With the incredulous shouts of a bandit, the crowd completely boiled, and so there was the scene of Fang Cai......

……

Liu Chan glanced at Li Er on the side, and Li Er nodded.

"Silence!"

I saw him slam the spear in his hand to the ground and screamed.

Tong!

"Silence!"

The other soldiers followed the spear shaft and shouted in unison.

Five hundred voices converged into one, shaking the bandits' eardrums.

The black-armored soldiers stood with spear tips, the cold light flashed, and a killing momentum was immediately revealed.

The originally noisy bandits immediately quieted down, including Hu Li, who had a few more big footprints on his clothes.

"It's good that people are very welcoming, but it's ...... The soldiers under my command are not something that anyone can be if they want to.

"Today you will have a full meal, so that you may rest. Tomorrow, we will select the school and select those who pass to enter the reserve team. ”

Looking at the playful expression on Liu Chan's face, Hu Li couldn't help but shudder.

Looking at the expression of the lord, I'm afraid that this selection is not something that can be easily passed......

However, Liu Chan's expression quickly froze, and he slapped his head, as if something big had happened.

"Huh~~" put his finger to his lips and whistled loudly, and the black horse that was grazing leisurely in the open space immediately galloped over.

Liu Chan flew on the horse neatly, and whipped the horse without looking back.

"Li Er, I'll leave it to you here!"

Lao Luo, the captain of the guard, also hurriedly turned over and got on his horse, and the other Bai Yu guards ran at an astonishing speed to chase after him.

Liu Chan did remember a big event...... said that whenever he went out, he would send someone back every month to report his mother's safety, but this time he forgot.

If it is said that with Zhao Yun's [Unyielding] and [Gentian], there is something else in this world that he is afraid of.

In addition to the soles of his father Lao Liu, there are only the tears of his stepmother, Mrs. Wu......

"I hope mom won't make any mess......"
