Zhang Liang looked at his brother dumbfounded, and then looked at Zhang Ling with a shy face. Remembering that his niece was hiding behind the screen just now, for a while, he suddenly realized.

No wonder my brother behaved so strangely today, no wonder Chen Xu was suddenly stopped when he was leaving, and was suddenly stopped when he was about to approach.

All this is to let his niece see Chen Xu's appearance clearly.

Where Chen Xu had just stayed, Zhang Ling could see him clearly from behind the screen.

"Brother, what do you mean by marrying Ling'er to Wen Zhao?"

Zhang Jiao looked at his daughter with her head down and a shy face, and said to her, "Ling'er, I'm a little hungry, go and help me get some gruel!" ”

"Ahh

When Zhang Ling heard this, she didn't care about it shyly, 'um', took small steps, and hurriedly ran out.

Zhang Jiao looked at his daughter's back, his face full of kindness.

After Zhang Ling left, Zhang Jiao asked rhetorically: "Third brother thinks it's good to marry Ling'er to Wen Zhao?" ”

After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Liang nodded vigorously and said, "Ling'er is not young anymore, it's time to get married." Looking at the Yellow Turban Army, there are not many young talents like Wen Zhao who are not yet married. ”

"If Ling'er is married to Wen Zhao, it will not be a good marriage. However, but ......" Zhang Liang wanted to say something, but he just wanted to say something.

Zhang Jiao waved his hand and said, "The third brother has something in his heart, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Zhang Liangyi gritted his teeth and said: "I also cherish Wen Zhao very much, but he is a yellow turban general after all. Since ancient times, generals have inevitably died in battle, and even my two brothers don't know when they will be in different places, let alone generals like Wen Zhao. ”

"If possible, I would rather marry Ling'er to a big family and let her live an ordinary life."

Since Zhang Ling's mother died, she has followed her two uncles. It can be said that her two uncles treat her as their own daughter and love her very much.

Zhang Liang's worries, why didn't Zhang Jiao? His original intention was also to marry Zhang Ling to an ordinary family and be incognito. When the time comes, even if he is defeated and killed, he can keep his daughter.

However, since he met Chen Xu, there was a strong impulse in his heart. He seemed to have a feeling that this young man, who was still a little immature, would become a great man in the future.

After being silent for a long time, Zhang Jiao's eyes burst into light and said, "I believe in Wen Zhao and will definitely help me take care of Ling'er." And I, too, will pave the way for his future! ”

Chen Xu returned to the school field, feeling very depressed, and unconsciously walked around the school field.

"Good! Good! Good! ”

Suddenly, Chen Xu heard bursts of cheers. He looked up and saw a large crowd of people around the shooting range, and they were shouting there.

Chen Xu was a little curious in his heart, and walked towards the shooting range.

Everyone was watching the center of the shooting range, and the young man's powerful archery skills did not notice Chen Xu's arrival at all.

"Huh?"

Chen Xu let out a light 'huh' and found that the person who shot the arrow was the boy who always couldn't shoot the target when he was in Qiu County.

At that time, Chen Xu had taught the boy once, but the boy was too nervous and still couldn't shoot the target. Chen Xu once made an agreement with the young man that he would check his archery skills after five days.

Five days later, Chen Xu really found the boy as promised. The boy's face was flushed with excitement, and his performance was also decent, and the accuracy of shooting the target did become very high.

But I don't want to, today's teenagers, since archery has reached this level.

I saw that in front of the shooting range, people kept throwing clumps of debris into the sky, and the boy could shoot the debris very accurately every time.

Originally, because archers were extremely difficult to train, the training of archers in the army was not to shoot sundries, but to kill targets. Because, for the accuracy of archers in the army, at the beginning, the generals didn't really care very much.

In large-scale battles, archers often form phalanxes, and when the enemy reaches within range, they shoot in unison, forming a large-scale rain of arrows. Often, this area where the rain of arrows is formed can be regarded as a death zone for the charging army.

Generally speaking, the charging army is fast. According to the book of war, the archer 'does not have more than three shots at the enemy', which means that the archer usually only has time to fire a salvo of three times before the enemy charges.

Some archers, due to their slower hand speed, may only have time to shoot two arrows; Some people with fast hands may be able to shoot four arrows.

Due to the dense rain of arrows, as long as the archer can send three bows and arrows in battle, the accuracy is not too bad, and he can shoot to the designated position, which can basically meet the requirements of junior archers.

Of course, the accuracy of the archer is naturally as accurate as possible. Therefore, those marksmen can often hold certain positions in the army, and will be specially awarded a wrench to protect the thumb.

Chen Xu couldn't help but applaud loudly when he saw that the young man's archery skills had improved so quickly. At this time, everyone found out that their master was coming, and they saluted Chen Xu one after another.

Chen Xu waved his hand and said, "Since we are in the army, you brothers don't need to be polite." ”

After finishing speaking, Chen Xu came out of the crowd, came to the young man, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Yes, the progress is so fast." ”

After saying that, he took off the cowhide wrench on his thumb and handed it to the boy.

The young man was a little confused at first, but after taking the wrench, he suddenly realized. Immediately ecstatic, knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Thank you Qu Shuai for the reward!" ”

Chen Xu laughed, helped the young man up, and said, "Behave well, if you can make meritorious contributions on the battlefield next time, I will give you a promotion." ”

Ancient archers, because they often drew their bows to shoot arrows, their thumbs were easily injured by the bowstring. Therefore, many archers with status will have their own wrenches.

At this time, the wrenches were not like decorations in later generations. Most of their functions are to protect the fingers.

A general like Chen Xu will personally charge into battle. In order not to affect the generals, they fought on the battlefield with weapons. The wrenches they wear are often made of animal skin.

Therefore, a soft and flexible wrench is a good wrench. And the wrench that Chen Xu handed over is a very good wrench.

Chen Xu wanted to say a few more words, but suddenly a pro-soldier with a horn ran over and said breathlessly: "Chen Shuai, the great sage and good teacher passed you over!" ”

Hearing this, Chen Xu's face collapsed, and he could only follow behind the pro-soldier and walk towards Zhang Jiao's house again.

Pushing open the door, Zhang Jiao was eating porridge. Chen Xu stepped forward to salute the two, and then asked, "I don't know why the great sage and good teacher summoned the last general?" ”

Zhang Jiao handed the bowl in his hand to Zhang Liang, was silent for a long time, and said: "I have a daughter, twenty-nine years old, beautiful and dignified, gentle and considerate, I want to marry it to you, I don't know if Wen Zhao is willing?" ”

"Huh?" Chen Xu felt that this sentence was so familiar?

Yes, when Zhang Jiao asked himself about his age and whether there was anyone he liked. According to the script, this sentence should have been said a long time ago. It's just that for some reason, I didn't say it until now.

Chen Xu suddenly heard this, and his head was a little stunned. He opened his mouth, wanting to speak, but didn't know what to say.

Say agree, he has never seen Zhang Jiao's daughter, and he doesn't even know what she looks like. What if you rashly agree and take an ugly daughter-in-law?

Although Chen Xu is not a person who judges people by their appearance, he 'loves people, everyone has it', and he Chen Wenzhao is naturally no exception.

If you don't agree, let's not say that you are now Zhang Jiao's subordinate, and refusing to say so will refute his face. Personally, he felt that he also needed a daughter-in-law to warm his bed.

Besides, if he marries Zhang Jiao's daughter, he is the son-in-law of the great virtuous teacher. In this way, if the Yellow Turban Army is defeated in the future, he can be regarded as the legitimate heir of the Yellow Turban Army. If he wants to do something, he only needs to raise his arms and shout, and countless Yellow Turban soldiers will defect to him.

Therefore, Chen Xu was a little hesitant.

Seeing this, Zhang Liang's face sank, and he said with a little anger: "What, are you afraid that my niece is not worthy of you?" ”

Chen Xu was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly replied: "How could the last general have such an idea?" It's just that the last general is afraid that he is not worthy of your young lady? ”

Although he knew that Chen Xu was a little insincere, Zhang Liang's face still looked a lot better.

He waved his hand and said, "In this case, you are the commander of my account, and my parents have long since passed away, so I can be your elder and make decisions for your marriage." ”

Hearing Zhang Liang's words, Chen Xu wanted to cry without tears. Is this an arranged marriage that has been criticized by many people in later generations?

Chen Xu thought about it, but after all, he didn't refuse.

The reason why he came to defect to the Yellow Turban was to brand himself with the label of the Yellow Turban Army. In this way, in the future, he will also have an excuse to recruit the defeated Yellow Turban Army from all over the world.

Ever since he was framed in Puyang, Chen Xu's ambitions have begun to swell.

What is the joy of life, and what is the sorrow of death? The big husband lives in the world, when he is vigorous!

Becoming Zhang Jiao's son-in-law is definitely a good political capital. Thinking of this, Chen Xu gritted his teeth and said, "But it is up to General Tiangong and General Rengong to be the last general!" ”
