Chapter 2 Jian'an 24th Spring

Cold comes and summer goes, time flies, and the situation in the mainland of China is turbulent. In the blink of an eye, eleven years have passed.

The spring of the 24th year of Jian'an.

This year Liu Chan is 12 years old.

From the baby in Zhao Yun's arms before, it has grown into a young man now.

He wears armor and a red brocade robe. His eyes are big and bright, piercing like stars, and his appearance is bright and beautiful. He has bright eyes and sparse eyebrows, and slender long ears. Although he cannot be said to be more handsome than Pan An, he is still bright The eyes are bright and the teeth are bright.

He has completely inherited the excellent genes of Liu Xuande and Mrs. Gan.

Moreover, he is not skinny and tender, the calluses on his hands, and his tough and sturdy figure undoubtedly show that he is not a scholar with no strength to restrain his chickens.

For example, he is holding a longbow in his hand, and he is drawing the bow and nodding an arrow.

swoosh~
Only the sound of arrows galloping could be heard, and the arrows shot into the neck of the camphor deer ten feet away.

"Young master shoots!"

The sturdy young general in Xuanjia took the arrow from Zhanglu's neck, walked quickly to Liu Chan, and raised the arrow above his head with both hands.

"Compared to Anguo, my archery skills are far inferior."

This young general is none other than Guan Xing, the second son of Guan Yu, Marquis of Han Shouting.

"Young master is ridiculous. At Xingru's age, you can't shoot pigs and deer from ten feet away, but you have only practiced for two and a half years, but you can shoot the vital parts of the head."

After taking the arrow in Guan Xing's hand, Liu Chan put it in the arrow cage behind his back.

"We have been in Sheshan for so long, and Sima in the rear hasn't moved yet?"

Guan Xing shook his head.

"My son's army is brave and good at fighting, and there are three hundred of them. I'm afraid Zhang Yu won't be fooled."

"That's right. Sima at the back is proficient at using celestial phenomena to connect personnel and predict good and bad. The young master set up an ambush here. I'm afraid he already knew about it."

Liu Chan handed the long bow in his hand to the entourage around him, with a calm expression on his face.

"If Zhang Yu really knew astronomy and geography, he would not prevent our army from taking Hanzhong."

If this guy really knew everything, how could he be decapitated by Xuan De?
"Appreciate~"

Dust was flying in the distance, and a rider jumped out from the mountain path. This man was wearing a reddish-brown armor with a powerful face. He reined in his horse three meters in front of Liu Chan.

"Young master, I don't see any other Sima's actions, but the city knows that the young master is out of the city to shoot and hunt. The military commander is worried, and hopes that the young master will return to Chengdu as soon as possible."

The young general is Zhang Bao, the son of Zhang Fei, and his martial arts are also superb.

"Mr. Fengchu is worried."

At this time, Liu Bei was confronting Xia Houyuan in Hanzhong, staying behind in Chengdu, and it was the military adviser Zhonglang General Fengchu Pangtong who supervised the rear.

As for why Feng Chu didn't die at Luofengpo in Luocheng, but is still alive now, it is naturally his Liu Chan's credit.

Traveling through more than ten years, Liu Chan has done a lot, but there are very few that are really useful.

Keeping Pang Tong from dying early is one of Liu Chan's few achievements.

After all, he was too young, if he uttered shocking words, he might be arrested and drink the talisman water.

You can be a child prodigy, but you can't be too evil.

Liu Chan has demonstrated a lot of talent in the past ten years.

One is to show your learning talent.

"Shenzi", "Han Feizi", "Guanzi", "Six Secret Teachings" and other books, he can learn them almost instantly, and can learn by analogy.

The second is to practice martial arts diligently. Although he is only 12 years old, he knows almost everything about swords, guns, swords and halberds. He has 300 sons and soldiers under his command, and he has trained him well.

Just like his archery, he has only been practicing for two and a half years, and he can already achieve a hundred hits in a short distance.

In addition, at many critical moments, Liu Chan can have his own opinions, and he is already quite famous among Liu Bei's civil servants and generals.

This kind of fame is not only brought by him as Liu Bei's successor, but also because his talents have been recognized by everyone.

If it were Liu Chan in history, at the age of 12, he would probably just grow up in the compound of the State Shepherd's Mansion in Chengdu, how could he have the qualifications to lead troops out of the city?

"The location here is good, so let's make a fire here and set up camp."

Zhang Bao had already jumped off the horse, and he was a little stunned when he heard Liu Chan's words.

"Young Master, after all, Sheshan is fifteen miles away from Chengdu, and I only have 300 people under my command, so if anyone cares."

Zhang Bao's words were very cryptic, but Liu Chan didn't know what he meant.

"How can you catch tiger cubs if you don't enter the tiger's den? What's more, I have two warriors guarding me, and I have three hundred healthy soldiers guarding me. Why should I be afraid of ordinary people? If you don't come, then go ahead. If there are really people with ulterior motives, I will just kill chickens to make an example of others."

Zhang Bao opened his mouth, obviously wanting to continue to comfort Liu Chan.

On the contrary, Guan Xing stroked his short beard under his chin, laughed, and said: "Zhuge military master once said that the young master is very witty, and he often plans before acting. Now that he is camping in Sheshan, it is obvious that the young master has his own concerns. Brother Bao Why worry about it?"

Zhang Bao fought with his father before, and he didn't get along with Liu Chan for a long time, but he had heard about Liu Chan's virtuous and wise name for a long time, so he no longer had any objections to the camping.

"promise."

Immediately, everyone set up camp.

Soldiers will start patrolling, scouting, standing guard, setting up barracks defense facilities, such as cutting down trees to set up antlers and wooden fences, or resting on the spot to eat some dry food.

The heavy soldiers accompanying the army began to set up tents, cook pots for cooking, and dig pits to clean up "waste".

The 300 people performed their duties. Although the number was small, the speed of setting up camp was very fast.

And they are professional, as if they have done this camp countless times.

For example, a temporary wooden wall needs to be built around the barracks, and there are many doorways in it.

First cut two rows of trunks, one long and one short, burn the bottom of the trunks and bury half of them in the soil. The long trunks are arranged in a tight row outside, the short trunks are arranged in a row inside, and then the two rows of trunks There are wooden boards in between, which are divided into upper and lower layers, so that the part of the long trunk becomes a protective wall. The upper layer of the wooden boards can allow soldiers to patrol and watch, and the lower layer can store defensive weapons and allow soldiers to rest.

The sky was gloomy, and the simple camp had already been built.

In the main tent of the Chinese army in the small village, today's prey from Sheshan was roasting.

The pheasants, hares, and deer pigs are roasted on the charcoal fire one by one, sprinkled with some spices, the taste is really amazing.

It was Zhang Bao, Guan Xing and the two, their throats were shaking now, obviously they were attracted by the delicious food.

"Come on, you're welcome."

Liu Chan tore off a deer leg and handed it to Zhang Bao. The latter was not polite, took it with his hand, and began to bite.

And Guan Xing had already started eating a roast chicken, his mouth was full of oil, not to mention how delicious it was.

"The meat is still delicious."

After eating and drinking, Guan Xing patted his belly full of abs, with a satisfied smile on his face.

"good."

Zhang Bao thinks so.

The battle ahead is tense. Liu Bei and Xia Houyuan have been confronting each other in Hanzhong for more than a year. When the cannon fired, the gold was ten thousand taels.

To fight is to burn money. Compared with the rich and prosperous Central Plains, although Bashu is known as the land of abundance, but the previous Liu Zhang did not know how to manage the place, and connived at Dongzhou soldiers to cause disaster.

In addition, in order to control Bashu, Liu Bei resorted to wars and rebellions, and now he is fighting in Hanzhong, so the logistical pressure is enormous.

So much so that men are fighting and women are lucky.

The people are exhausted, and there are many people who are hungry. Liu Chan, Zhang Bao, Guan Xing and others are among the nobles, and they will definitely not be hungry, but like these meats, if you want to enjoy them unscrupulously, that is also the case nowadays. impossible.

After all, Liu Bei's time in control of Shu is too short, and his foundation is too shallow.
