Cao Cao led the generals into the commander's camp and sat in columns.

After sitting down, Cao Cao looked at Xiahoudun and got straight to the point: "Yuan Rang, how are the soldiers training?" ”

"It will take two or three months to become an elite person." Xiahoudun made a slight estimate in his heart, and turned sideways to Cao Cao to answer with a fist.

The recruitment of soldiers is still young, and the training has only just begun, and if they are thrown into battle, they will only be a rabble. In addition to waving the flag and shouting, and rising power, there is basically no excessive killing.

As long as the enemy's iron cavalry charges back and forth twice, they can be easily crushed and crushed.

Cao Cao is a person who has led soldiers, and he knows that there is no urgency in training, and he does not put pressure on the generals, but just lets them train well and train an elite division as soon as possible.

The generals were ordered.

After sitting in the camp for a while, Cao Cao, who had finished explaining the matter, came out of the camp, and beside him, only Mao Jue was alone.

The two men made their way around the barracks, stopping at a high ground to look down on the phalanx of soldiers below.

Cao Cao's small eyes flashed with light, and he stood cross-legged, and these soldiers below were all his hopes for the future.

"Ming Gong, do you want to kill Dong Zhuo again?" Mao Jue beside him asked tentatively.

Cao Cao nodded, straightened his not burly body, and said in a majestic tone: "Dong Zhuo is a thief of the country, I eat Hanlu in the world, if I don't want to serve the country, how is it different from a beast?" I will ask for it!"

When these words were said, not to mention martial arts, even he, a scribe, suddenly felt his heart surging, and the short body next to him was infinitely magnified in his heart.

Sure enough, I didn't follow the wrong lord.

Suppressing the agitation in his heart, Mao Jue asked Cao Cao for instructions: "Duke Ming, do you want to send someone to inform the Yuan family brothers, or other princes." ”

It is good that Cao Cao has the idea of currying favor with Dong, but Dong Zhuo still has 100,000 tigers and wolves in his hands, and it may be difficult to deal with Cao Cao alone.

Cao Cao shook his head and rejected Mao Jue's proposal.

The last time he fought against the Dong Alliance, he completely saw the faces of these princes, and they spared their lives like gold, testing each other, and they couldn't punch on the battlefield.

In the end, if it weren't for Dong Zhuo's burning of grain and grass and being cornered, how could they fight hard.

Such an ally will only drag its feet and will not succeed enough, and it will be more than enough to lose.

Mao Jue was still a little worried, after all, there was too much difference in strength between the two sides.

"Dong Zhuo brutally lost the hearts of the people, and the people under him today all want to eat his flesh raw."

Cao Cao stood tall and said proudly: "In the past, Gou Jian lay down and tasted the gall, and three thousand Yuejia could swallow Wu; I have 6,000 armor soldiers today, how can I not break the national thief Dong Zhuo! ”

…………

Qingzhou, the county seat of Pingyuan.

It was a cold winter, and there were not a few people in other places who froze to death and starved to death, but only here, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, had land to cultivate, and could support themselves.

All thanks to the newcomer Pingyuan County Commander, surnamed Liu, is said to be a member of the royal family.

After the arrival of Liu County's order, he actively recruited nearby bandits, and everywhere he went, the bandits fell in despair; Inside, he is willing to give charity, and even ordinary people who are not scholars can sit and eat with him, and they will not have a choice.

In short, in the plains, this county is very popular.

On this day, the weather was extremely cold.

The three brothers, who were roasting charcoal in the house, couldn't help but talk about state affairs.

"Big brother, that emperor is just a puppet set up by Dong Zhuo, don't care what he does!" Since Zhang Fei's appearance gradually became rougher, his voice has also become much louder, and when he increases his volume slightly, it is like a thunderstorm.

"Third brother, don't talk nonsense!" Liu Bei reprimanded Zhang Fei, his brother, who has courage and loyalty enough, but is too reckless and impulsive and aggressive.

If he wants to be unrestrained, sooner or later he will have to break into a catastrophe.

Zhang Fei didn't care, "If you want me to say, eldest brother, you are a member of the Han family, and you are deeply loved by the people, this emperor should be ...... by you."

How could Liu Bei let Zhang Fei finish the rest of the words, hurriedly interrupted, and scolded angrily: "Although I am a relative of the Han family, I will definitely not do that rebellious thing." If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will call you second brother and seal your mouth. ”

"If you don't say it, just say it, who is rare......"

Zhang Fei muttered a few words in a low voice that felt aggrieved, and then said to Liu Bei and Guan Yu: "Big brother and second brother, I'm going to practice martial arts, you guys talk slowly." ”

After speaking, he walked out of the hall and went to the courtyard where he practiced martial arts.

After a while, an official ran in from outside and reported to Liu Bei: "County order, someone outside wants to ask to see you." ”

See me?

Liu Bei didn't know who it was, so he took the initiative to get up and walk out.

Outside the house, a young man in ragged clothes stood with a wooden cane, like a fleeing refugee.

Seeing Liu Bei personally come out to greet him, the young man seemed to be a little flattered, and after saluting Liu Bei, he hid his face and said sadly: "The villain Chen Shu, a native of Runan, originally went to Jizhou to defect to his relatives, but he was entangled on the way and robbed by bandits. Passing through here, I want to ask the county order for a loan or two. ”

After Liu Bei heard this, he didn't immediately ask someone to take it and entangle it, but asked the young man first with a pleasant face, have you eaten.

The young man was stunned for a moment, his expression was a little dazed, as if it was the first time he had seen such a polite county official, and he didn't know whether to answer yes or no.

Liu Bei already knew, and while asking people to prepare meals, he asked his second brother Guan Yu to fetch some coils. He himself grabbed Chen Shu's wrist and walked towards the mansion.

On the road to the hall, there were only Liu Bei and Chen Shu.

Liu Bei pulled Chen Shu forward, and the latter's eyes flashed with murderous intent. But thinking of Liu Bei's performance, the erasure machine was well hidden by him.

When he arrived at the hall, Liu Bei asked Chen Shu to sit with him.

Chen Shu hurriedly shook his head and shook his hand, and said in his mouth: "It's not proper, how can you sit at the same table with the county honor." ”

Liu Bei didn't think much of this, and smiled and signaled him to relax and not care about those etiquette.

Liu Bei's benevolence greatly moved Chen Shu. When the meal came, Liu Bei pushed all these meals in front of Chen Shu and let him eat enough.

Then he kindly asked him about some trivial daily life, such as how many people in the family, whether they can get married, and other topics, just like a kind big brother next door, without the slightest county official frame.

Chen Shu admitted frankly that he was an orphan and his parents died early.

At this time, there were only two people in the hall, he and Liu Bei, and it was the best time.

As long as you do it, you will be able to kill it with one hit!

Chen Shu lowered his head and pulled the rice grains in the bowl, but he couldn't make a final decision.

After finishing the meal, Liu Bei sent him out of the house, took the coil in Guan Yu's hand, and handed it to Chen Shu.

"It's far away to Jizhou, so be more careful on the road to Brother Tai. If there is any more difficulty, just come back to me Liu Xuande. Liu Bei said generously and rightly, and said goodbye to him.

In this situation, Chen Shu's tears burst out of his eyes all of a sudden, he fell to his knees, slammed his head on the ground, and was full of remorse: "County order, the villain deserves death!" ”

Liu Bei was also a little stunned when he saw Chen Shu's actions, and asked out loud: "What do you mean by this?" ”

It turned out that this person was not called Chen Shu, his real name was Chen Zhi. In the morning, when he passed through this place, he was bewitched by Liu Ping, a county citizen, saying that Liu Bei was cruel and unkind, and bullied the people in pervade.

Chen Zhi didn't do an investigation at that time, so he decided to 'do the right thing for heaven' and came to assassinate Liu Bei.

However, after seeing Liu Bei, Liu Bei's honesty and kindness made Chen Zhi completely dispel his thoughts. He finally realized that he had been deceived by others.

almost killed Xianneng by mistake, and Chen Zhi was full of hatred in his heart.

At the moment, he only wants to die.

Liu Bei did not let him be arrested, but helped him up with his own hands.

After learning that Chen Zhi had no fixed place to live and had martial arts, Liu Bei became convinced: "Uncle Zhi, are you willing to serve under me?" ”

When Chen Zhi heard this, he was pleasantly surprised in his heart, how could he be unwilling, and immediately clasped his fists: "Thanks to Ming Gong for not giving up, I am willing to serve the work of dogs and horses!" ”
