The army set off, but as Zhuge Liang said, it had not been out for half a day. When the army had just arrived more than thirty miles north of Changsha, it suddenly rained heavily. All the soldiers had to take a good bath in the sultry weather.
A cold shower.
As a result, Zhuge Liang stopped him again, but Liu Bei insisted on moving forward——
In the end...the army had not yet reached Lingling. As soon as it reached a mountain not far from Lingling County, the army could no longer move.
This army with Lei Xu's bandit army as the main body and supplemented by Liu Bei's own main force does not mean that it lacks combat effectiveness and is not as good as real elite soldiers. It is just that humans are humans after all, and the sultry weather in June suddenly hit us.
It was raining heavily, and the soldiers were still on their way despite their cold armor.
The mountain road was difficult to travel, and the dry food became damp and moldy within a few days... Under such circumstances, many people caught the wind and cold, and became dizzy and heavy-footed, with a large amount of dizziness forming.
There was still a hundred miles away from Quanling City in Yesuo, Lingling County. It seemed that he would arrive in two or three days. Zhuge Liang finally couldn't hold it in any longer and quickly stopped the army and stationed themselves against the mountains and forests.
.
Liu Bei was panicked now, but he was fine. He had someone to protect him from the wind and rain, and his salary had risen sharply from the original lack of clothing - almost catching up with Liu Xie's salary.
Being hypocritical, he heard the complaints from the soldiers and was worried that his image would plummet in the hearts of these newly recruited people, so he hurriedly used his rest time to show off his acting skills.
Not to mention his excellent acting skills, he also insisted on bringing Zhuge Liang with him, which made Zhuge Liang extremely painful.
Wandering around many groaning soldiers, looking at those busy walking back and forth, changing clothes for the soldiers...Liu Bei screamed without realizing it:
"ah!"
It turned out that he didn't scream, but when he screamed, many soldiers who had been resting were suddenly awakened. When the voice came out, many people stared at Liu Bei angrily, some simply rolled their eyes, and some
Because I was in such a bad state, I couldn't express my anger, but...
Everyone basically felt that Liu Bei was actually here to cause trouble.
How are Liu Bei's acting skills?
It was not bad before, but the soldiers who have been with him for a long time know that Liu Bei has one trick from the beginning to the end - cry. After that, basically not many people will be moved by Liu Bei's fake tears. They follow Liu Bei because
Liu Bei's identity is because of Liu Bei's purpose, but it is definitely not because of Liu Bei's character.
But...after all, there are many new soldiers.
Two lines of clear tears rolled down Liu Bei's face. Liu Bei sniffed and the details of his trembling lips were beautifully done. He looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle. It was late at night, and the moonlight shone on his face, making him
The tear stains became more obvious.
"It's all my fault... I shouldn't have been so rash. I just wanted to capture Lingling as soon as possible and give an explanation to all the soldiers who have been following me, Liu Bei, for a long time... But I never thought that my rashness would offend so many people."
The soldier is seriously ill... I... am not worthy to be this lord..."
Liu Bei kept talking and tears kept streaming down his face. Zhuge Liang couldn't stand it anymore and kept muttering in his heart:
"I obviously told you a long time ago..."
"If God sees that my reckless decision has harmed so many soldiers, what will it do to me?"
"God, if you hear this, please punish me! Punish me for this incompetent lord!"
Liu Bei's voice is usually not loud, but at times like this, it is particularly loud.
Liu Feng and Liu Qi in the forest were stunned for a moment. Zhang Fei was always the sweet-tempered man and would never doubt his eldest brother Liu Bei. He walked up directly from the side, knelt in front of Liu Bei, and used his
That huge voice roared:
"Brother! No! We only follow him wholeheartedly because we know how he behaves. Now he is indestructible, which is a big worry for us... If brother insists on accepting God's punishment, then let God punish me.
Fly!"
Good guy... Zhuge Liang was stupid. Although he knew that Zhang Fei, Liu Bei and Guan Yu were sworn brothers, it was only today that he really saw how much Zhang Fei trusted Liu Bei.
Obviously Zhang Fei didn't notice that Liu Bei was talking about the situation. As a result, this fool had no rehearsal and cooperation, and he suddenly raised Liu Bei's level a lot.
The most obvious one is Lei Xu, who has a confused look on his face.
Lei Xu was originally a bandit, and what he valued most was the ease of his brothers. Seeing this scene, he was a little dissatisfied with Liu Bei for marching in the rain rashly, but now he wishes he could become brothers with Liu Bei.
"Lord! I didn't expect... I didn't expect that the lord is so eager to take over Lingling... I'm sorry that Lei Xu didn't know before, but he even doubted the lord's decision... Isn't it just a cold? This is a minor illness.
, how can it be difficult to live with men like us who have the sky above their heads and the earth under their feet! Brothers! Listen to me!"
Lei Xu was so excited that he obviously became the most successful person in Liu Bei's instigation.
With a cruel look on his face, he yelled:
"The Lord does not disdain our origins and is willing to take us in. From now on, we will go through mountains of swords and trees, fire pits and hells, gritting our teeth and following the Lord!"
"Now! Who wants to be a coward anymore! I, Lei Xu, just let him go! If you don't want to be a coward, pack up and let's set off!"
"Roar!!"
Lei Xu spoke, and those who had been following him finally cheered up. Speaking of bandits, compared to those elite soldiers who have experienced countless big scenes, the biggest advantage may be that they are easy to incite, right?
They roared and cheered, shaking the entire mountain forest. For those who didn’t know, they thought there was a landslide——
Liu Bei's tears were still flowing. He looked at Lei Xu with a grateful face, but Lei Xu knelt directly in front of him. Lei Xu raised his hand to Liu Bei and was moved to tears:
"Lord! It was Lei Xu who complained about the lord before. Lei Xu is guilty. Please punish me, lord!"
"General Lei! Get up quickly. I was too eager for quick success and did not take into account the feelings of the soldiers. Today there is no distinction between right and wrong between you and me! Let it go!"
"My lord! Lei Xu is willing to follow the example of a dog and a horse, and he will do whatever it takes to do it!"
Lei Xu stood up tremblingly, his eyes even flashing with light, thinking that he had really found a lord that he could follow for the rest of his life, so he said these words in desperation.
Zhang Fei on the side seemed to be infected by this loyalty and shouted at Liu Bei:
"Me too!"
Liu Bei smiled and patted the two of them on the shoulders, and began to whisper to them about "digging out their hearts" as they walked further and further away.
Looking at the soldiers around them getting up in a hurry, some of them dragging their sick bodies but still struggling to go into battle to kill the enemy, saw that they were about to collapse after taking only three or two steps.
Zhuge Liang felt that all the books he had read in his life might have been in vain.
