Although Renqiu City is small, it is a strategically important place. It goes to Youzhou in the north and Jizhou in the south. After Cheng Yuanzhi captured Renqiu, he stationed here. From time to time he sent troops to Youzhou or Jizhou to plunder, but those who went out today
Three of the four teams have returned and have plundered a lot of food, but it is almost dark and the other team has not returned. Cheng Yuanzhi, who is a general of one party, banged hard with his hand and it became swollen.
He raised his head and said to Deng Mao who was below him: "General Deng, send out scouts to check and search for the situation of the grain transport team going to Youzhou today!"
Then Deng Mao yawned, stood up, and said: "General, in this Youzhou or Jizhou, who has the strength to compete with me and others now? Who can kill a thousand men and horses at once? General, there is no need to worry!"
Although Deng Mao was Cheng Yuanzhi's lieutenant, he was a direct disciple of the great virtuous master. Cheng Yuanzhi did not dare to be presumptuous in front of him. He suppressed his dissatisfaction and said to the guards around him: "Go outside the camp gate.
Watch, if the grain transport team comes back, shout out to me, General!" Just as the guard was about to take the order, he heard a small colonel from the front camp running in and said loudly to Cheng Yuanzhi: "General, one is named Liu Bei.
The people came with a thousand soldiers and horses to serve, and also snatched the lost grain from the Youzhou grain transport team from the army, and are now asking to see the general outside the camp!" Upon hearing this, Cheng Yuanzhi fell into deep thought, and
Then Deng Mao laughed and said: "That's a good thing, General. Let's go see him as soon as possible!"
Cheng Yuanzhi waved his hand and said, "I'm not busy. Let's see what's going on first. It's already late now. Wouldn't it be difficult if it were officers and soldiers?" "Humph!" Deng Mao sneered: "Officers and soldiers?
The general must be too careful. The officers and soldiers in Youzhou have just experienced Wu Heng's attack. It's too late to hide from us now, and they dare to mess with us. Not to mention Jizhou, the entire Jizhou's available troops are now
In the hands of Lu Zhi, he is now being forced by my wise and good teacher not to move. How can there be a large-scale official army in the entire Jizhou?" Cheng Yuanzhi heard this Deng Mao's sarcasm, his face changed greatly, "Then you dare to guarantee them
Aren't they pretending to be officers and soldiers?" Deng Mao saw that Cheng Yuanzhi's expression changed, but he was not afraid. He just sneered: "Don't you know, the general, that you will send someone to observe first?" "You!" Cheng Yuanzhi said with an angry look on his face.
"Pa" the cup in Cheng Yuanzhi's hand was crushed. Deng Mao glanced at Cheng Yuanzhi and ignored him, but he sneered in his heart.
Liu Bei and his thousand sergeants were wandering outside the camp gate. Although they were equipped with a lot of weapons now, they were all inferior goods from Youzhou. After all, the regular army in Youzhou was not fully equipped with equipment. Even Liu Yu
No matter how much this person cares about brotherhood, he must first care about the country's regular army. Fortunately, he is only equipped with these defective goods, but even these defective goods make these Cheng Yuanzhi's sergeants envious.
Liu Bei's troops were lazily sitting outside the camp gate, and some even fell asleep on the grain carts. Liu Bei didn't care about these. Liu Bei knew that Cheng Yuanzhi has not seen him and will not let him go.
It was obvious that he must be observing him from the sidelines? So he carelessly took a pig's trotter he had snatched and sat on the grain truck to gnaw it, but his mind was far away.
Liu Bei's family was well off. When he was a boy, he spent all day walking around the streets, playing with dogs and hawks. His life was very uncomfortable. However, he did not expect that the good times would not last long. The Wuheng people invaded Zhuo County.
He burned, killed, robbed, and looted all kinds of evil in the city. His parents and brothers were also killed by the Wuheng people during this robbery, and his home was burned clean by the fire. If he hadn't been hiding in someone else's cellar,
He died a long time ago. Since that time, he has become nothing. All his playmates have left him and even laughed at him. It was at that time that he understood that people can only gain power.
Only status and fame will gain the respect of others, so from that day on, he went to worship Lu Zhi, who was famous in the world, as his teacher. From that day on, he began to tell himself that he was the Queen of Zhongshan King Jing, because he knew,
Having a good birth is more important than anything else. Of course, he is not afraid of others exposing him, because Zhuoxian County was originally the fiefdom of King Jing of Zhongshan, but this branch has long declined or even disappeared. Even if you check, you can't find it out.
Now, when you gain power, who dares to doubt your identity?
Liu Bei was thinking freely here, while Cheng Yuanzhi and Deng Mao were secretly observing. However, Deng Mao was much more impatient than Cheng Yuanzhi. After all, Cheng Yuanzhi was the commander of the camp, and he was just the deputy commander.
And Deng Mao has always wanted to suppress Cheng Yuanzhi. If he obtains these thousand sergeants, his strength will greatly increase, because these thousand soldiers are all real guys, and even Cheng Yuanzhi's direct descendants can't.
In comparison, I am even worse. Most of my weapons are wooden sticks or some hoes.
"We can't wait any longer. I think Liu Bei is sincere in his service. If he neglects others, he will get angry and leave, and we will suffer a big loss!" With that, he pushed aside the crowd and strode out.
Cheng Yuanzhi originally had some scruples in his heart, but when he saw Deng Mao going out, he couldn't bear it anymore and walked out quickly. After all, Deng Mao couldn't let Deng Mao take advantage of such a good thing.
When Liu Bei saw the two men coming out, he quickly jumped off the grain cart, wiped the oil on his mouth with his sleeve, and laughed loudly: "Two generals, let Xuande wait easily!" Deng Mao was the first to step forward and clasp his fists.
"If someone didn't believe Brother Liu, it wouldn't have taken so long!" As he spoke, he turned his eyes towards Cheng Yuanzhi. Cheng Yuanzhi's face changed drastically, his hand clenched the handle of the knife, and there was a trace of killing intent in his eyes. Deng Mao
He also held the handle of the knife, and when Liu Bei saw it, he knew that the two of them must have been at odds for a long time, and he already had a dispute in his heart. He quickly stepped forward and said with a smile: "You don't believe me, Xuande. This is human nature. After all, this is
This is an extraordinary period, Xuande knows it in his heart! If Xuande were in charge of the camp, I would be just like the general, or even worse than You!"
Liu Bei's words made Cheng Yuanzhi regain his composure, but Deng Mao curled his lips. Liu Bei smiled slightly and said: "However, Xuande also thanks General Deng for his trust! From now on, we are all brothers and a great teacher."
Serve!" Liu Bei's words made both Cheng Yuanzhi and Deng Mao feel very useful. They put down the hilts of their knives and raised their hands together and said: "Brother Liu Xian, please!" "Two generals, please!"
