Chapter 24 ?
Liu Pi, the two of them, came from Bingzhou.
The Black Mountain bandit Zhang Yan was originally from the Yellow Turban lineage. However, after the Yellow Turban was destroyed, this person abandoned the name of "Yellow Turban" and was known as the "Black Mountain Army" and accepted the imperial edict.
Zhang Yan is now becoming increasingly powerful. Now that the people have more troops, they are close to one million, and they are scattered across Bingzhou and invading counties. The court cannot find it difficult for him to control him.
Liu Pi, the Gongdu, was a staunch Yellow Turban clan, so he left Bingzhou and planned to go south to Sanfu and go to the Central Plains to hang out.
As a result, he met Zhang Xiu, and his entire army was wiped out. Now that he is alone, he thinks of Zhang Yan again, hoping to make a comeback in Bingzhou.
Liu Pi and the two of them were still careful when they left the camp. After walking for a few miles, they started to freely start.
"My brother is a clever plan to deceive Zhang Xiu first. Then find the opportunity to escape. Even if Zhang Xiu is the bravest army, he would not have thought that we were surrendering." Liu Pi rode his horse north while holding a big gun and playing with a gun flower, very happy.
Gongdu smiled and looked arrogant and said, "Zhang Xiu was brave and very strategic. But after all, he was shallow when he was young and did not know that people's hearts were sinister."
Simply put, it means despising Zhang Xiu for his youth and not being beaten by society.
The two led tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans to the south, but were defeated by Zhang Xiu. They were so angry that they had deceived Zhang Xiu that they had a breath of anger and had a happy chat.
"Da da da da da."
At this moment, a sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded in front of me. This was too strange. It was quiet late at night, but there was suddenly a sound of horse hooves.
Liu Pi, both his confidants, changed his expressions.
Soon after, the other party showed clues. A torch lit up in front of him, and then there were 30 or 40 figures of horse riding horses.
"Pang De! Hu Che'er!" Liu Pi saw it clearly and suddenly screamed. His heart trembled, and the big gun in his hand fell to the ground unconsciously.
"How could it be!" Gongdu also opened his mouth wide, and he could stuff a goose egg.
These two people were not guarding the military camp, so how could they come here to intercept them?
Liu Pi and the two of them thought about it carefully and were very scared. They were sweating coldly for a while.
The people leading the troops in front were Pang De and Hu Cheer. Both of them were not wearing armor, but they had weapons, so they were obviously prepared.
"It seems you have guessed it. You don't think about it. You were so tough when you were taken down. After three days of locking up, you just bowed down and surrendered easily. Why don't my Lord Sima beg you?" Hu Cheer yawned and stared at the two of them dissatisfiedly and said, "You two didn't run early. We trained the soldiers during the day and pretended nothing was wrong. We have been waiting here at night for seven or eight days."
Although Liu Pi had already guessed in his heart, he still felt cold after hearing Hu Cheer's words.
Zhang Xiu really thought that they would slip away...
Such meticulous thoughts are simply terrible.
Liu Pi was still confused while his heart was trembling. He couldn't help but look up at Hu Cheer and asked, "Since Zhang Xiu expected that we would leave. He guessed that we would sneak out of the camp at night, so we recognized this. But why did he expect that we would go north?"
"You came from Bingzhou. This time you escaped, probably to go to Bingzhou to join Zhang Yan. That's what Lord Sima said." Hu Cheer explained, then impatiently played with the spear and shouted: "Are you two planning to surrender, or are you stabbed to death by us?"
Of course Liu Pi was not afraid of death, but he suddenly didn't want to die. He looked up at Gongdu.
All of them smiled bitterly and sighed to Liu Pi: "Brother. This Zhang Sima is bravest and meticulous, and can use strategy. A hundred times better than us, and the future will surely be bright. Now the great wise and good teachers are dead, and we are actually lonely ghosts. We are not buried after our followers of Zhang Sima."
"Hi!" Liu Pi also sighed, and together they all turned over and dismounted, bowed to Hu Cheer, Pang De and the others.
"This time it's probably true." Hu Cheer muttered, then looked up at Pang De.
"You two follow me back to the camp and will send you into the city to see Lord Sima tomorrow." Pang De said lightly. According to his wishes, it would be better to cut these two people with one knife.
But Zhang Xiu had already issued an order that it would be best to capture him alive. He had always obeyed the orders, so he had to give up killing.
Not long after, under the surveillance of Pang De and Hu Cheer, Liu Pi and all returned to the camp together. The next morning, the four people, accompanied by their entourage, rode their horses to Huaili City to see Zhang Xiu.
When they came, Zhang Xiu was watching military books in Zhang Ji's study. Dian Wei led four people into the study together, and then stood beside Zhang Xiu, pressing his sword.
After they entered the study, Pang De and Hu Cheer just bowed together and then retreated to both sides. Liu Pi, after all, looked at each other, knelt down on one knee.
"Mr. Sima. We are guilty."
"I knew you two had bad intentions." Zhang Xiu sighed and placed the bamboo slips in his hand on the table.
"Besides having some force, you are not afraid of death, and your loyalty to Zhang Jiao is considered an advantage. But in fact, you are a tiny talent. But now I am just using people and I am concerned about you. Otherwise, after the war that day, you will be pushed out and beheaded."
Liu Pi, Gongdu was ashamed when he heard this. Gongdu looked sick and looked red at this moment. Not to mention that Liu Pi had a red face, but his face seemed to be burning with fire.
After looking at the two of them, Zhang Xiu sighed again and asked, "Do you know how to read?"
Liu Pi honestly clasped his fists and replied, "Report to Lord Sima, I don't recognize it."
Gongdu also simply replied: "Reply to Master Sima's words, I read and read books and read in my early years. I recognized a lot of words, but the books were too profound and I had never read a few books."
Zhang Xiu sighed again, one was illiterate and the other was semi-illiterate. But the two of them were just like this, and there was nothing to look forward to.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Xiu said to the two of them: "As the saying goes, the sea of knowledge is endless. Look at me. My mind is deeper than you and my strength is higher than you. But when you have time, you will also learn literature and martial arts. You read at night with a lamp and you will not put down the book. It is because there is heaven beyond the sky and there are people outside of the people. If we are generals, if we do not enrich ourselves, we will sooner or later become ghosts under the sword. Just like you, if you were not useful to me, you would have become dead souls long ago."
After listening to Zhang Xiu's words, Pang De thought something. He often read military books to enrich himself. Hu Cheer looked indifferent. He knew how to read, but he basically didn't read books.
Zhang Xiu glanced at the two of them and shook his head in his heart. Pang De was a true general, and Hu Cheer could only be regarded as a brave man at most.
Pang De can command the army as a marshal, and Hu Cheer is at most a general who obeys orders.
As the saying goes, "The instrument has its own special purpose", everyone has their own status and ability. Now he is trying to change Liu Pi and the common capital, which is so difficult.
Zhang Xiu looked at Liu Pi again. The two of them were ashamed and lowered their heads deeply.
"You have many problems, but it is not impossible to change. Start from the most basic ones. Starting from tomorrow, you ask my brother Pang De for military discipline and raise soldiers. Then there is a marching and formation."
"Tonight, let that play beg you to read, Sima Qian's [Records of the Grand Historian], the biographies of famous generals in Ban Gu's [Book of Han], especially the [Book of Zhou Yafu]. Let's see how Zhou Yafu led his troops. Then, start reading military books [Wei Wuji's Art of War], [Wu Qi's Art of War], and [Sun Tzu's Art of War] are all good military books. And you, Hu Che'er."
As Zhang Xiu spoke, he saw Hu Cheer's indifferent face and couldn't help but turn the gun head, his eyes very sharp.
"Uh." Hu Che'er was furious when he saw that the fire actually hit him. He glared at Liu Pi fiercely, and he was two of them.
These two guys hurt me!
"No." Liu Pi, the two of them, had no temper and bowed to agree.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiu sighed again. It was a long way to go. I hope these two unreliable Yellow Turban generals can become a useful and qualified general under the influence of the military books Pang De and military books.
Their personalities are still good. Generals are not afraid of death. They are loyal to Zhang Jiao, and they will be loyal to him in the future and have force.
These are congenital and are difficult to cultivate.
If you add the influence of military books, you will become more cautious and you will have a high chance of becoming a good general.
Looking at these two people, Zhang Xiu remembered one person.
Wang Ping, the general of Shu Kingdom.
This person just doesn't know a basket of words, but he is calm and good at using troops. After his development, he often asked people to read to him.
Finally, he became more and more powerful. In the end, Wang Pingguan was appointed as the general of Zhenbei and was at the highest position.
There is also Lu Meng. When he was young, Lu Meng was a brave and fierce general. When he got older, he started studying. He finally became the third commander of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River in Eastern Wu and even murdered Guan Yu.
These are all the teachers of future generations who have made a gorgeous counterattack.
Thinking of these two people, Zhang Xiu's expectation for the two-person guy in front of him and Hu Cheer, the half-person guy, has increased a lot.
This matter is a small episode, and defection can also be written off.
"I will not blame this matter for the past. Let's get up. Since we are all here, let's have lunch together." Zhang Xiu raised his head and said to Liu Pi and the two of them in a friendly manner.
"Thank you, Lord Sima." Liu Pi, both of them bowed and answered honestly before getting up.
There must be generals in the army. After Zhang Xiu spent lunch with the generals, he asked Pang De to lead everyone back to the military camp outside the city.
He himself practiced martial arts during the day, studied at night, and waited for the result of Yingchuan opera Zhicai.
It was inside the sword hidden box that the dragon was deep and its sharpness was restrained. It quietly tempered itself, waiting for the emperor to die, and the civil strife in Luoyang, and then Dong Zhuoshi was shocked and started the competition among the heroes.
But as the saying goes, the plan cannot keep up with the changes. At this moment, something that disrupted all Zhang Xiu's plans happened.
