The voice did not fall. Then a strong man lifted the curtain and came out. When he stood still at the bow of the boat, he saw that he had thick eyebrows and short beards, tiger-backed ape arms, and was more than eight feet long.

Look around the ten-mile rice fields, and look at the water pavilion and heavy buildings. Then he sighed: "Lou Sang Shaojun, his name is well deserved. ”

Su Shuang raised his head and smiled: "Uncle, Liu Bei is now reinstated." It should be called the young prince. ”

The strong man also smiled: "In this case, why do you still call him by his name?" ”

Su Shuang scratched his head and sneered: "We know each other when we are young, and we are used to it." ”

"I see." The strong man nodded.

"Gou is rich and noble, and there is nothing to forget." Zhang Shiping quipped: "Su Shuang and Shaojunhou are young friends." Now he lives in the palace of the young prince. Eat a meal with the young prince every day, and feed the horses with grass. It is to learn words, and it is also the personal transmission of the young prince and the marquis! ”

The strong man only laughed silently.

Entering the water bar, the water pavilion comes into view.

The lake is as green as blue. The pavilion is towering and stretches along the shores of the lake. The buildings are connected to each other by a waterfront covering. There are stone steps on both sides of the courtyard gate to enter the water, which can be used to park boats.

The people of the water pavilion come and go, that is, they use boats.

The boat docked behind the water barrage, and everyone walked along the waterfront overlay to the middle of the city. The corridor is based on stone pillars and beams made of large wood. Covered with bluestone slabs. The walls are made of camphor wood, which repels mosquitoes. At each pavilion, there is also an incense burner for people to rest.

This repetition alone would have cost a lot of money to build. And Lou Sang is full of high-rise buildings, which shows how rich he is.

If it's just that the young prince's family is rich and rivals the country, don't be surprised. However, how is it possible for every family to be rich and have oil?

The strong man asked: "Dare to ask the two little friends, every family in Lou Sang is so rich?" ”

"Wealth is nature." Zhang Shiping said with a smile: "However, Lou Sang can become today's Lou Sang, all thanks to the power of the young prince and marquis." "This will exchange the bedding for the giant wood of Liaodong, and buy it on credit to the people of the city in advance, allowing it to repay everything in many years, and talk about it in detail.

The strong man showed admiration on his face: "If you are like this, why worry about the successors of the country!" ”

Listening to him praise Liu Bei, Zhang Shiping was also happy.

I heard that Su Shuang, Zhang Shiping and others have arrived at Baihu. Liu Bei went out to greet him.

Follow the street. Su and Zhang, who greeted the crowd around them from time to time, looked up and saw Liu Bei standing under the five-zhang mulberry with a smile, so they rushed over and saluted.

"Zhang Shiping is fortunate not to be dishonored!"

"Haha, Liu Bei, I'm back!"

Liu Bei returned the salute: "I have worked hard all the way, (Liu) Bei thank you a lot." ”

kept getting up, and saw the big man standing in the group.

Touching Liu Bei's eyes, the strong man hugged his fists and said: "Liaodong Xu Rong, I've seen the young monarch!" ”

Xu Rong?!

Liu Bei's eyes lit up suddenly.

Zhang Shiping introduced to Liu Bei: "Young Junhou, this is the righteous man of Liaodong who protects me all the way!" ”

"It turned out to be Xu Yishi!" Liu Bei had already grinned with a smile: "Let's go into the mansion." ”

"Please!" Xu Rong was also not polite, and followed Liu Bei into the Hou Mansion.

The host and guest are seated.

Liu Bei hadn't figured out how to speak. Xu Rong took out a letter of recommendation from his sleeve: "Liaodong Tianjun's recommendation is here, please take a look." ”

It turned out to be Tian Shao!

Tian, Liaodong clan. Patriarch Tian Shao, the boat travels north and south, and the rich side is on the first side. Xu Rong is rarely brave, often walks in the Tian caravan, and has also protected Tian Shao's safety. Later, his fame grew, and rangers came to vote one after another. coincided with the Xianbei Koubian and plundered the border people. Xu Rong pulled up a team and killed Hu and took the horse. The horses were sold to the Tian family, and most of the copper coins obtained were shared with the people.

It is quite famous in Liaodong.

'Now that he is getting older', Tian Shao 'can't bear to bury him in the countryside and end up on the couch'. wrote a handwritten letter recommending Xu Rong to Liu Bei's door. He also said that Xu Rong was 'fierce and strategic, sympathetic to the corporal, and was the talent of a general, and he was indispensable to the master'. I hope that Liu Bei will 'be under his command and keep it for great use'.

A sufficient supply of salted wood is a great blessing. Now he recommends Xu Rong to vote. Liu Bei really couldn't repay it.

Liu Bei got up and bowed: "If it weren't for Tian Jun, I would have lost my talent!" (Liu) is not talented, just ten miles of pavilion waiting. Mengjun does not give up, and he comes thousands of miles to vote. If he succeeds in the future, he should be treated as a national soldier! ”

When Xu Rong heard this, he knelt on the ground solemnly: "The lord is above, Xu Rong will be smeared with liver and brain, with the ambition of the whole monarch and the marquis!" ”

"Congratulations to my lord, you have won this good general!" Geng Yong and Cui Jun, who rushed to hear the news, both bowed in.

"Rejoice, rejoice!" Liu Bei then helped Xu Rong up: "Come on, go and invite all the gentlemen quickly, and pick up the wind and dust with Brother Shiping and Xu Jun!" ”

"Whoa!" The elite pawn in the house, this will go to the city to preach the news.

Liu Bei was young and inconvenient to drink.

Huang Zhong and the others are fine. The best Songquan brew just has to be served. Let's not talk about Huang Zhong, Cui Ba, Han Meng and others are also fierce generals. is also Ren Xia, and he is on the opposite side of Xu Rong. Push the cup and change the lamp, and soon get acquainted. Especially Han Meng, it can be said that he hated to meet late.

During the banquet, Xu Rong asked about Lou Sang. Han Meng answered them one by one. He also said that the second floor of the martial arts field is mostly vacant. Just move there and learn martial arts.

Xu Rong spoke. Liu Bei naturally agreed a hundred. The second-floor fine house of the martial arts arena was originally built for generals. It is a duplex pavilion in the floor. The first floor is divided into upper and lower floors. Hall, hall, room, kitchen and toilet are all available.

The house is tall and spacious. Beautifully decorated and richly furnished. There are doors and windows in the front and back, surrounded by corridors, and you can quietly watch the beautiful scenery of Lousang. There are many houses, even if the family moves here, they also live down.

Cui Ba and Han Meng lived in their respective houses in the martial arts arena. Huang Gai lives in the water military academy on the north shore of Baihu Lake. There are also barracks in the school grounds. It is convenient for military training nearby.

Xu Rong asked Lou Sangbu again. Han Meng then sent his troops, elite soldiers, sailors, assault horses, and assassins, and each team one by one.

Xu Rong brought nine people with him this time. They are all heroes of Liaodong, and they are good at horse warfare and foot warfare.

Killing Hu and taking horses is really for your own use. Xu Rong also said that there are more than 100 companions in Liaodong, and they can be summoned by letter and used by the lord.

Han Meng hurriedly informed Liu Bei of the matter.

If it is someone else, it may be deceitful. Xu Rong came to vote, and there was a letter of recommendation from Tian Shao, and Liu Bei did not doubt him.

And so he said yes.

Xu Rong thanked him again.

It turns out that giving many brothers a certain future is what he has always been worried about.

It is no wonder that Tian Shao said that he was 'fierce and resourceful, and sympathetic to the corporal'. It is for the sake of many ranger brothers that Xu Rong is willing to worship under Liu Bei. Otherwise, you can only go to the army and fight to the death with a good background. In the end, it was cheaper than Dong Zhuo's old thief.

There is a barracks in the martial arts arena.

In addition to the navy, the team is stationed here.

As soon as Xu Rong settled down, he hurriedly sent a letter. With the Tian merchant ship back to Liaodong, he has been looking forward to it day by day.

The news that Shaojunhou had a new general soon spread all over Lousang.

The martial arts arena is even more difficult to find.

I heard that Xu Rong and his subordinates are also good at horse warfare. Ulian was not convinced. This is the invitation to fight. Each led a team of men and horses (ten people) to line up in the martial arts arena.

Liu Bei originally wanted to equip Xu Rong and others with enamel armor. Unexpectedly, he was rejected by Xu Rong. As soon as I asked, I knew that several people under his command were all rangers similar to Xianbei! The so-called 'archers'!

It is not advisable to wear heavy armor.
