Chapter 2 The Only One General Liu(1/2)
By late February, the emotional development was in place, and my immediate skills were barely adequate.
The picture shows the difference.
The elder brother who took the lead opened the skylight and spoke frankly: "I love the truth, and I love my teacher even more! Balabala, the little devil..."
Anyway, someone above us will take you two rubes to Dongdu Wharf to see the world.
Who is in favor? Who is against?
Looking at the straw sandal soles dangling in his elder brother's hand, Guan Zhang Erbio, who was heartbroken, could only sign the four words "happily agree".
Leaving the infantry behind to escort Zhang Su, the three country warriors and fifty light cavalry bid farewell to their families and headed south to Beijing... If you don't rush for the exam, you won't get the exam.
Climbed snow-capped mountains, crossed meadows, traveled across oceans, wore out seven or forty-nine pairs of straw sandals, and endured ninety-nine and eighty-one disasters before arriving at Luoyang.
Luoyang is Luoyang, the eastern capital of the Han Dynasty.
It's March, the time when the spring breeze is warm and the grass grows and the orioles fly.
Before entering the imperial capital, Guan Zhang and others were already amazed.
It seems that all the auras between heaven and earth are gathered here. In the endless scenery of the royal garden, there are all kinds of rare birds and animals, and the exquisite pavilions and pavilions are looming near the mountains and rivers, which are fascinating.
"What are you looking at?"
"What are you looking at... No, the little lady is taking a bath. There's nothing interesting to see. You have to go on your way, let's take a walk!"
Zhang Xiaosan, who was dragged away belatedly, was extremely resentful: You have all seen it, of course you say so...
After entering the city, Liu Bei, who was in low spirits and unimpressed, could not help but be moved by it.
Looking around, there are row upon row of gleaming mansions, with beautifully carved beams and paintings, and a dazzling array of shops along the street. All merchants and pedestrians are filled with satisfied and confident smiles.
Towards the core, there are countless palaces, courtyards, steep walls, flying eaves and auspicious beasts on the roofs, which are extremely luxurious and magnificent. The atmosphere of respect is like the surging sea tide and the eruption of a volcano, and the brilliant light makes the sun, moon and stars eclipse.
This is the hub of power of the Han Dynasty.
This is the origin of the children of the Han family.
This is the confidence that Chinese civilization is proud of in the world.
Dongdu, what a Dongdu!
Looking at the pure gold authentic tile with the inscription "Chang Le Wei Young", the leading brother swallowed hard.
This time, the one who was forcibly dragged away was a big-eared thief whose heart was broken: Just one piece, I will take one piece away!
The second and third brothers showed no mercy: What are you thinking about? That’s the palace!
Follow each step, stop and go, be dazzled, unable to touch the east, west, north, south, and middle to make a fortune.
In the evening, these gangsters who had disgraced the elders of Zhuo County finally knocked on the door of Shangshu's house.
Hearing that they were the direct disciples of the head of the family, housekeeper Lu Gui did not dare to neglect them and welcomed the three brothers into the house.
Lu Shangshu of the previous dynasty has not yet paid his dues, so please wait.
Coincidentally, those who arrived in Luoyang on the same day as the three brothers also received an urgent military report.
"The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand. If you are aged for a year, the world will be prosperous."
Once the Yellow Turban Uprising was detonated, it spread like wildfire across the country.
At this time, the great sage Zhang Jiao had gathered hundreds of thousands of people in Jizhou, and rebellions broke out and were out of control.
Jizhou has been an important place for military strategists since ancient times, and there is no room for failure!
After receiving an urgent report, in order to compete for the candidate to be the head coach of the counter-insurgency, the bigwigs of the imperial court were fighting openly and secretly, and there was a stalemate.
Emperor Liu Hong, although he is often ridiculous on weekdays, he is still sober when facing important events.
He worshiped Shangshu Lu Zhi as Beizhonglang General and led the five schools of the Northern Army to Jizhou to suppress Zhangjiao's main force in the north.
He appointed Huangfu Song as the Left Zhonglang General and Zhu Jun as the Right Zhonglang General. Together they led 40,000 soldiers and horses to encircle and suppress the Yellow Turban Army in Yingchuan, the heartland.
At nightfall, Lu Zhi, who was about to go on an expedition, returned home and was comforted to learn that his disciple Liu Bei had arrived.
When he saw the heroic Liu Guanzhang, he even expressed his concern and concern.
When he learned that the three brothers intended to serve the imperial court, Lu Zhi's thoughts changed.
Forget about Xuande who is incompetent in literature and martial arts, but Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are truly fierce brothers.
Xuande, who had been holding back for a long time: Does it count if my disciple has a golden finger?
Hearing-impaired teacher: Isn’t that a luxury? Can it be wiped clean? Doesn’t it hurt?
Xuande, who didn't understand why, stared blankly at his shining middle finger, thinking that he had poor hearing.
Lu Zhi knows his own family affairs well, and his martial arts skills are passable. A pair of armor can suppress him into asthma.
Now the emperor asked him to lead the army to suppress the rebellion, but the five lieutenants under his command kept silent, fearing that the boss would be dissatisfied.
In this era, disciples are closer and more filial than sons. Even if your own son is still nursing, it would be nice to have a disciple to support the scene.
Besides, at this critical moment, Xuande and Junbao arrived on the same day. Isn’t it God’s will?
Besides, that spell...has come since then, right?
"To be honest with Xuande, the imperial court received an urgent report from Jizhou: the Taiping Demon Road has spread its horns and the situation is critical. Your Majesty sent an order to command the five schools as a division and set out for the expedition tomorrow..."
Hey! What a coincidence, I didn’t lose a whole day.
Liu Bei knew that Zhang Jiao was dead this time.
With all your military exploits and dazzling qualifications, is there anything happier than having sex for free?
In other words, it is easy to enjoy the shade under the big tree, and there are people in the court who are easy to serve as officials.
The good student patted his chest and volunteered: "We are going to Jizhou. The mountains are high and the roads are far away and the pits are deep. I am willing to ride for my mentor and do my best."
After a pause, he added: "My brothers Yun Chang and Yide are both heroes. They are loyal to the emperor and serve the country with sincerity. I ask my mentor to fulfill them."
Guan Yu quietly pulled Zhang Fei, and they both knelt down: "I beg the minister to grant me permission!"
"Okay! Okay!"
Lu Zhi smiled brightly, twirled his beard and said: "We are brothers fighting tigers. Father and son are going into battle. The chaos has begun, and it is the time for you to serve the country. In this case, go out with me tomorrow!"
The master and the apprentice have reached an agreement, and each gets what he wants, a win-win situation, a win-win situation, a win-win situation.
On the eighth day of March, male soldiers go to war and female soldiers have a holiday.
Lu Zhi led the three brothers and his entourage to Xiyuan and ordered troops to go out with the deputy general Zong Yuan.
The troops and horses of the five schools are the heavy cavalry camp, the light cavalry camp, the heavy armor infantry camp, the archer Changshui camp and the crossbowman Shesheng camp.
Each battalion has a school lieutenant as the commander, with a full complement of 700 people, and a total of 3,500 people in the five schools.
Coupled with a small number of personal guards of mid-level and senior generals and civilians transporting baggage, the total army totaled more than 4,100 people.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Because there is a quota system for the troops of the five schools, the three brothers and their party were temporarily designated as personal guards by Lu Zhi.
There were originally only ten members of Lu Zhi's generals and bodyguards, but with the addition of Liu Guan and Zhang, not only did the scene become much more beautiful, but the fifth captain also looked at him with suspicion.
Liu Bei, his disciple who was closer than his son, also became Lu Zhi's adjutant and captain of the bodyguard without any controversy.
The emperor does not need hungry soldiers, let alone the general's bodyguard.
I rushed into the royal armory and almost died from eating so much. All kinds of top-notch equipment are available.
The Zhuo County bumpkins, who were even more miserable than beggars, turned into regular soldiers, direct descendants of the emperor, and dignified and loyal soldiers.
As powerful generals, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei unanimously chose the Changshan as their main weapon.
No matter whether you start immediately or not, both of them understand the principle that every inch is longer and every inch is stronger. Of course, the price of a tree is also the most expensive.
Liu Bei, a smart player, chose the slender Bailianhuanshou Dao, which is close to the saber of later generations.
When charging or pursuing, this thing is more efficient and less labor-intensive against infantry.
The military situation is on fire and there is no time to delay.
The majestic five schools of the Northern Army marched all the way to Jizhou, killing Guangping and locking Zhang Jiao's main force.
At this time, there were two main Yellow Turban forces in Jizhou.
Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang led 30,000 believers who had just captured Guangping, while Zhang Bao led 20,000 troops and occupied Xiaquyang.
Capture the thief and capture the king!
With the first blow, General Lu Zhi struck Guangping.
It’s better to be a peace dog than a person in troubled times.
Entering Jizhou, villages and towns of all sizes encountered harassment, looting and even massacres by Yellow Turban believers, which became more and more serious.
The emperor's soldiers, who have lived in Kyoto for a long time and have no idea of the sufferings of the world, have never been exposed to such bloody and tragic scenes.
The excitement turned into silence, and the anger contained in the silence grew day by day.
Liu Bei secretly rejoiced that he left in time. If he had been a few days later, he would have been trapped.
To be continued...
