In 196 A.D., when Liu Bei avoided trouble, Chen Zhi defected to his command, and then followed Liu Bei to fight in the Quartet. Since then, Chen Zhi has followed Liu Bei from birth to death, diligent, hard-working; The position is often second to Zhao Yun, until Liu Bei established himself in Sichuan and Shu, and the position he obtained was still inferior to Zhao Yun, but he served as Liu Bei's close guard commander for a long time. Therefore, he has been under the light of Zhao Yun for a long time, and Zhao Yun, the victorious general, is only the last of the five tiger generals, and he is the sixth person after the five tiger generals of Shu Han.

In later generations, the well-known five tiger generals of the Shu Han Dynasty all had the merits of writing books and biography. In comparison, Chen Zhi was overshadowed, and he only had the name of the commander of the guards on his head. However, there is one point that cannot be ignored, that is, the "White Soul Army" trained by Chen Zhi and personally led by him is indeed the most elite army under Liu Bei.

In addition, in history, Chen Zhi was known for his loyalty and righteousness, which has been passed down for thousands of years until later generations.

In fact, among the many generals of the Three Kingdoms, there are not many generals who are truly known for their loyalty, and they can be called only a handful. There are people with names and surnames, such as Dian Wei and Xu Chu of Cao Wei, Tai Shici of Jiangdong, and Zhang Fei and Chen Zhi of Shu Han; In addition, there are some generals who are not well-known. As for Guan Yu, who is known as the martial saint, Zhao Yun, the victorious general, Jiangdong Zhou Tai, Cao's and Xiahou's generals, although they also have the name of loyalty, there are many intriguing and controversial points.

Therefore, looking back at the annals in his mind, in Li Li's view, Chen Zhi is not only an extremely rare loyal general, but also a tiger general who is allowed to be martial arts, and a dusty tiger general.

After some scrutiny and speculation, Li Li was already sure that the heroic young man standing in front of him was the future "General Bai Yu" Chen Dao.

Historically, Liu Bei fled from Xuzhou to Runan after his defeat two years later, and immediately recruited soldiers on a large scale. In order to make a comeback. At this time, Chen Zhi defected to Liu Bei, and after several battles, he was appreciated by Liu Bei, who had extraordinary eyesight, and was promoted to the leader of the guards, supporting the left and right, and serving as Liu Bei's personal commander for a long time.

Because of this, after Chen Zhi served as the commander of his own army, he lost the opportunity to lead the army to fight, so he had to guard Liu Bei's side all the year round, and he did his best, but his reputation was not obvious. And so on. His military exploits and fame naturally cannot be compared with Guan, Zhang, Zhao and others, and he is completely hidden behind the five tiger generals, and the tiger generals are covered with dust, and he has been like this all his life.

Throughout the first half of Liu Bei's life, he hid in Tibet. repeatedly abandoned his wife and children, and the old and young rushed for their lives, and were displaced. Shift to the north and south. Precarious. In the midst of repeated defeats, even Zhang Fei, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun and other 10,000 enemies were almost killed, but Liu Bei repeatedly survived desperately and lived well. It can be seen from this that Liu Bei's personal guards are so elite and brave; If there is no desperate protection of these pro-soldiers, there is no such effective pro-soldier commander as Chen Zhi to protect the left and right. I'm afraid that Liu Bei would have died a long time ago, how could he come to the Shu Han Dynasty in the future!

However, pro-soldier generals are often people with little reputation, and they belong to the real heroes behind the scenes.

Historically. But those who serve as pro-soldier generals by the side of Xiaoxiong are rare famous generals who have repeatedly made meritorious contributions. The dynasties before the Qin and Han dynasties are not said for the time being, just in the annals of the Three Kingdoms melee, Dong Zhuo's personal soldiers led Dong Yue, Cao Cao's guards commanded Dian Wei, Cao Chun, Shi Jian and Xu Chu, Liu Bei's Chen Zhi, and Sun Quan's Zhou Tai and Pan Zhang. These famous and surnamed generals are actually very talented, and they can be called the talents of generals, but they are not the most prominent generals in the Three Kingdoms period.

However, talented people will never be completely buried, and their sharpness will eventually be revealed. For example, Xu Chu under Cao Cao, and Zhou Tai beside Sun Quan; Both of them were repeatedly rescued by their own lords, so they were reused, and they were given the right to lead the troops into battle, standing out from the generals of the own soldiers and achieving amazing results. Compared with them, Dian Wei, who was the savior alone, was not able to leave a name in history until he died in battle, because he was praised by Cao Cao. On the other hand, Chen Zhi next to Liu Bei and Cao Chun under Cao Cao have been conscientiously leading the Chinese Army Guards for decades, and their reputation has not been great all their lives, and their achievements are not obvious, until people mention the "White Yu Army" and "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry", they suddenly remember that the two of them have served as the leading generals of these two elite troops for many years.

Combing through the memories in his mind, Li Li couldn't help but think of Li Zhi, the commander of the pro-soldiers beside him.

In the past three years, Li Zhi has made rapid progress, transforming from an illiterate "savage" to a pro-soldier general with both civil and military skills. However, since he became the commander of the guard, it has been both a blessing and a misfortune. said that he was lucky because he came from a humble background and had a miserable background, until he was appreciated and reused by Li Li, and after several cultivation and training, he gradually grew into a rare general.

But there are two sides to everything. In terms of his own martial arts alone, Li Zhi has no less skills than the god of war Lu Bu, and his martial arts are strong enough to be proud of the generals in the world. What's more, he is thoughtful, humble, meticulous and conscientious. If he is allowed to lead the troops to fight outside and take charge alone, even if he can't get the meritorious service, he is still a tiger general with both civil and military skills. However, he has always served as Li Li's personal commander, always guarding Li Li's side, and has no chance to lead the army alone at all. In the Xiliang Army, he is known for his martial arts and loyalty, and he is quite famous among the generals in the army, but this prestige is only limited to the Xiliang Army and is not well known to the world. Therefore, in the minds of all the princes of the world, he is still a nameless person, and his reputation is not obvious.

"Could it be that Gongzi had heard of my grandson's name before?" Seeing Li Li staring at his grandson Chen Dao, who was speechless for a long time, Chen Fang asked softly in surprise.

Hearing Chen Fang's words, Li Li smiled happily: "What the old man said is good, I did hear the name of Shu Zhi before I went down." Although Sun Chenzhi is not very old, he is quite famous in the Runan area, loyal and brave, chivalrous and righteous, and has won the praise of the people of Runan County. In the next group of people along the way, they also heard about it, and they secretly regretted that such a hero had no chance to see him, and they didn't think that he was actually the grandson of Chen Gong. There is no greater wonder in life than this. Hehehe! ”

"Childe praised it falsely, and he didn't dare to be ashamed!" Hearing Li Li praise himself like this, Chen Zhi couldn't help but blush slightly, and bowed down slightly ashamedly and said.

Li Li smiled and helped Chen Dao up, pulled him to his side and sat down, as a sign of closeness.

In fact, Li Li had never heard Chen Zhi's name along the way, and what he said just now was just a coincidence, giving Chen Zhi a few good words before Chen. Although the words were false, they were out of kindness, trying to make Chen Fang feel relieved, and he didn't have to worry about Chen Zhi all the time. In addition, Li Li also took this opportunity to express his appreciation for Chen Zhi and put on a posture of eagerness for talent, so that Chen Fang could send Chen Zhi to him with complete confidence.

In the art of war, please be better than agitated.

Li Li's move has the same meaning.

For a loyal and righteous general like Chen Zhi, since Li Li saw it, he couldn't miss it, and vowed to take it under his command. However, it is better for the old man Chen Fang to take the initiative to hand over Chen Zhi to him. In this way, Chen Zhi defected to the Xiliang Army on the orders of his grandfather, and there was naturally no problem in terms of loyalty, and he could be called with confidence.

Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that Chen Zhi's sitting posture was very restrained, Li Li smiled and signaled that he didn't need to be nervous, and then turned his head to Chen Fang and said, "Chen Gong is old, and he has no children and no daughters around him, but now he has asked Uncle Zhi to go with me. In this way, there is no one around Chen Gong to take care of him, and he lives here alone and widowed, which makes Wenchang feel unbearable! Therefore, Wenchang had a reluctant request, hoping that Chen Gong could move to Li's mansion to live, so that he could serve in the morning and evening, and also let Uncle Zhi be able to bear Huan's knees and be filial piety. I don't know what happened to Chen Gongyi? ”

"Oh? Childe, this 、、、、、、" Chen Fang never expected that Li Li would invite him to move to Li Li's mansion to live, and he was really moved by such hospitality, and he was so excited that he spoke out for a while.

Finally stabilizing his mind, Chen Gong said with great gratitude: "The son is gracious, and the old man has received it." It's just that the old ancestors live here, and now they are more than ancient, and it is really difficult to leave their homeland, and I hope that they will sleep in their hometown after a hundred years, and the fallen leaves will return to their roots. Moreover, the old man still has thousands of acres of thin fields and some savings, and there are more than 20 servants and maids in the house, which is enough to enjoy his old age in peace, and he does not need to worry about his uncle.

In this chaotic world, swords and soldiers are everywhere, it is a good time for young people such as Gongzi and Shuzhi to make contributions, and the opportunity cannot be lost, and the time will not come again. Therefore, the son does not have to worry about old age at all, and he can leave with his uncle. As long as my grandson can make a name for himself in the future, he will be able to make a name for himself in the future, and even if he dies, he will be able to smile at Jiuquan! ”

Hearing this, Li Li stood up suddenly, bowed, and said with a very sincere expression: "Chen Gong's high righteousness makes Wenchang admire him to the fullest!" ”

Chen Fang hurriedly got up and helped Li Li, and said with a kind smile: "The son can take in Chen Dao, it is already a grace of heaven and earth, and the old man can bear the gift of the son!" It's just that there is still something unclear about the old decay, and I hope that the son will tell him. ”

"Chen Gong doesn't hurt to say anything, and he should know everything when he makes up his mind." Li Li said casually with a smile on his face.

Without waiting for Li Li's voice to fall, Chen Yi continued: "I don't know where Gongzi Xianxiang is?" If there is any inconvenience, the right to ask more than that. ”

"Oh?" Li Li groaned, his eyes changed slightly, but the smile on his face did not change at all. He looked sideways at the white-haired Chen Fang with a smile, and after a little hesitation, he said with a smile: "Thanks to Chen Gong's promotion, Zheng (Zheng) Feng's original surname was Li, the word Wenchang, and his ancestral home was Beidi County, Liangzhou, and he was the same age as his uncle. I don't know if Wenchang answered like this, is Chen Gong satisfied? ”

"Li Wenchang, from Beidi County, Liangzhou?" Chen Fang was slightly stunned when he heard this, and Gu Zi muttered to himself, feeling that he seemed to have heard this name somewhere, but he couldn't remember it.
