In the following months, Chen Cheng has been wandering around the land of Jizhou. He is physically strong and will neither get sick nor suffer from frostbite. His "item" is full of various supplies, so he does not feel uncomfortable living in the wild.
hardship.
On this day, he picked up some branches, pulled out some thatch, lit it with a lighter, and prepared to roast the rabbit he had brought. Because he had experienced it in ancient times before, he knew what he needed to bring. This time
He prepared a lot of ginger, garlic, Sichuan peppercorns, pepper, cumin, honey, sugar, soy sauce, and other seasonings.
First, the rabbit is disemboweled, peeled off the fur, then pierced with branches, brushed with honey, and roasted on the fire. When it is half cooked, brushed with soy sauce and roasted until golden, it is a delicious dish. The only thing
The bad thing is that it takes too long. If you eat like this every day, it will take more than half of the time just to make the food, which is not interesting at all.
Nowadays, the world is tired, rebellions are everywhere, and bones can often be seen on the roadside. At this time, being able to eat a delicious meal in peace can make people feel happy. After finishing his lunch, he put the empty box and waited
They recycle the things, bury the bones and other garbage, and then continue on their way.
The shoes were too worn out for a long time, so Chen Cheng walked barefoot on the ground. Farmers in this era were like this most of the time. They would only wear straw sandals and cloth shoes when they were not working or attending sacrifices and other activities.
.He walked barefoot and calmly to the gate of a city, and saw a large group of people surrounding the city gate, and someone was reading something loudly inside.
Chen Cheng stood behind the crowd and listened for a while. The general idea was that someone had rebelled, and the court wanted to recruit troops to fight the enemy.
War is naturally dangerous. Not only do you have to travel long distances, but you also have to fight bloody battles with the enemy. You may die. Who of the serious people would serve as a soldier to fight? However, there are many people in the world who are afraid of poverty and hunger rather than fear of death. Those who recruit soldiers
As soon as the announcement came out, there was an uproar, and many villagers who were proud of their bravery became interested.
Oh, it only started in the Song Dynasty that good men should not be soldiers. In the Han Dynasty, there was no imperial examination. The best way for local powerful people to get ahead was to join the army and fight. Secondly, give yourself a knife and become a eunuch in the palace.
It was also a good choice. Eunuchs were a very important part of the political ecology of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Nowadays, the power of the Ten Chief Ministers was so great that even famous generals like Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi had to bow to them.
But if there is no other way, who would want to be a eunuch?
Chen Cheng watched the villagers' lively discussion with great interest and thought to himself: It makes sense to say in the history books that "the only Han Dynasty will be destroyed by force". With such people, even if China is divided into pieces, they can still defeat the barbarians around them.
.
He was looking at others, and others were looking at him. The average height of people in the Han Dynasty was about seven feet. He was 1.78 meters tall. Converted to the measurement of this era, that was more than 7 feet 5. Such a tall person stood in the crowd.
, it’s difficult to make people not pay attention.
The officer who came to recruit soldiers was a young man. Seeing that Chen Cheng was smiling but not enthusiastic, he couldn't help but said: "Man over there, why are you laughing?"
Chen Cheng is now dressed in rags, with a thick layer of mud on his face and body.
Everyone looked at Chen Cheng. Chen Cheng was stunned for a moment, then touched his stubbled chin and said, "Am I smiling?"
The officer looked unkind and said: "Now that the country is in trouble, you don't want to serve the country, but instead laugh. What a shame!"
"this......."
The villagers nearby also said: "A good man naturally wants to gain wealth from horses!"
Chen Cheng is not from this era, so naturally he does not identify with the imperial court. But...
The officer continued to ask: "Let me ask you, are you Han?"
"Of course I am Han Chinese!"
The officer sternly said: "Since you are a Han Chinese, what else can you say to defend the country against the barbarians?"
Chen Cheng was speechless for a while. After a while, he took a deep breath and cupped his hands and said, "What your Majesty said is that I will join the army right now to wipe out the remaining thieves for the country!"
The villagers cheered, and the officer's face brightened slightly. Chen Cheng asked, "I wonder who you are?"
The officer said: "A certain Tian Yu, what do you call me brother?"
Chen Cheng smiled and said: "It turns out to be General Tian, I am Chen Cheng. Today, the general is responsible for his righteousness. How dare you not die in service?"
With Chen Cheng taking the lead, dozens of people joined the army on the spot. In the next two days, dozens of people came one after another. Tian Yu recruited more than a hundred people, and left a few people to continue recruiting. He took the more than a hundred people with him first.
They went to the military camp. On the way, Chen Cheng and Tian Yu talked for a while before they understood what they were going to do.
The world now is a powder keg, with rebels everywhere. Although the Yellow Turban Army is powerful, it is not the first to rebel, nor is it the last. Before the Zhang Jiao brothers, the Xiliang Qiang people rebelled and captured Han
Sui Bianzhang and coerced them into becoming the leaders of the rebels. After the defeat of the Yellow Turban Army, Zhang Ju from Yuyang claimed to be the emperor and wreaked havoc in the north. The government and army were defeated in repeated battles.
The imperial court had no choice but to appoint Gongsun Zan as the governor of Liaodong, and ordered him to recruit strong men on his own to suppress the rebellious Zhang Jujun. Tian Yu followed Gongsun Zan's order and came to recruit soldiers.
Gongsun Zan... Chen Cheng has heard of this name, but he can't say he knows much about it. He only knows that he is Liu Bei's senior brother. He studied under Lu Zhi together, and later competed with Yuan Shao for Hebei, resulting in a war.
Defeat and die. Apart from that, there is nothing more.
Tian Yu respected Gongsun Zan very much, and seeing that Chen Cheng seemed very interested, he told some stories about Gongsun Zan. It turned out that although Gongsun Zan came from the famous Gongsun family, his mother was not the official wife, so he could only work as a minor official. But he was eight feet tall.
He was very beautiful and had a loud voice, so he was appreciated by the prefect Liu Qi. Later Liu Qi was sent to Jiaozhou for breaking the law. Gongsun Zan resigned from the official position and escorted Liu Qi to Jiaozhou, which was thousands of miles away.
Because of his deeds of willing to lose his official position and escort his late master, Gongsun Zan was later promoted as a filial and honest person and became the chief minister of the Liaodong vassal state. Later, he relied on repeated bloody battles to finally sit in the position of the governor of Liaodong.
When Han Sui and Bian Zhang caused rebellion in Xiliang, the imperial court wanted to recruit Gongsun Zan to go to the northwest to quell the rebellion. But who would have thought that there would be someone even more insane who dared to call himself the emperor. The imperial court was furious and appointed Gongsun Zan as the governor of Liaodong to suppress it.
Destroy the traitors.
After finishing speaking, Tian Yu's eyes shone with admiration, as if he thought he was actually Gongsun Zan. But Chen Cheng felt it was inexplicably inconsistent. Is Gongsun Zan actually such a person? This was different from what he remembered.
Ah. But then he felt relieved. His understanding of Gongsun Zan came from the romance novel "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" rather than the history book "The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms".
Besides, even if it is a history book, wouldn’t it be different from the real situation?
After two days of walking on the road, we arrived at the military camp. The military camp was not big and there were not many soldiers and horses. In addition to the more than 100 newly recruited people, there were more than 400 people in the barracks. According to the order of Wu, Shi, Team, Tuen, Qu
According to the formation method of the Han army, on top of Qu, there is a larger organization called the Ministry. But Tian Yu is only a captain, and the force he can lead is a Qu. If he is promoted to another level and becomes a captain
If you are a lieutenant, you can have a troop of soldiers and horses, and the army under your command can also be called the "Tian Yu Department".
After arriving at the military camp, Tian Yu first gave the new arrivals a good meal, and then appointed several powerful people to lead the army. Chen Cheng was one of them. In this way, he immediately became a ten-man general.
This made him a little uncomfortable. In the past, he always worked alone. Even in his original world, he didn't like team building and other activities.
How do you say that? Is it because games are not fun, or are novels and movies not good to watch?
More importantly, he originally planned to come here to deal with it, and then find an opportunity to run away. If he really became an officer, wouldn't he be trapped? And he wouldn't be able to do his best for his subordinates? So he found Tian
Yu said: "General, I'm new here and I'm not suitable to be directly appointed as a commander. It's not because I'm being modest. You'd better hire someone else."
He is a responsible person, so it's fine if he doesn't agree. If he really becomes an official, he will have to fulfill his responsibilities. Since he was planning to run away from the beginning, it's better not to become an official.
Tian Yu put down the bamboo slips in his hand, smiled and said, "Who is born with this skill?"
Seeing that Chen Cheng seemed to be saying something, Tian Yu asked again: "Isn't your martial arts not good enough for this?"
What Chen Cheng hated most in his life was lying. He especially hated lying. Every time he lied, it made him feel uncomfortable. He opened his mouth and thought about it, but he really had nothing to say.
Tian Yu suddenly darkened his face again and scolded: "Where do you think the army is? Is it for you to bargain? Since it has been decided that you will be the commander, then it is you! If you do not do well, I will naturally
I will remove you, will you not be able to do well?"
Chen Cheng sighed deeply in his heart. He was too honest. The guy in front of him was also so eloquent that he actually felt that what he said made sense. He reluctantly held up his hand and said, "Of course I can do it."
good."
Tian Yu smiled and scolded: "Looking at you, you seem to have been wronged a lot. Those who don't know may think that you have been deprived of your official position."
The corner of Chen Cheng's mouth twitched and he said, "Why is a leader called an official?"
He said this purely subconsciously. It was a habitual action that he had done after chatting with people online for a long time. After he said it, he felt that it was inappropriate. Who knew that instead of being angry, Tian Yu laughed and said, "That's good."
!What kind of official is this? It’s a good job to do it. As long as you make meritorious service, I will definitely recommend you to General Gongsun!”
After walking out of Tian Yu's tent, Chen Cheng understood why Tian Yu reacted this way. During the Han Dynasty, people had a strong sense of achievement. There is a saying that "a man cannot live without five pots of food, and he must die for five pots of food."
" spirit. On the one hand, everyone wants to serve the country and get ahead. On the other hand, when there is no hope of getting ahead, they will easily devote themselves to the cause of rebellion.
In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, there were rebels everywhere, which was also related to this ideological trend. Most of the time, weapons were sharper than thoughts, but sometimes, thoughts were more powerful than weapons.
