Three Kingdoms: Liu Bei seeks the master and seeks to conquer the world

Chapter 236 The Frightened Bird, Chen Deng's Strategy for Weary Soldiers

Although the [-]th army stick will bruise the skin and flesh, it is basically a skin trauma, and it will not hurt the muscles and bones.

But those with rough skin and thick flesh like Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin didn't need to rest in bed after being beaten by [-] military sticks.

They are all licking blood with knives, so how can they be afraid of these twenty army sticks.

Although Guan Yu's face was cold, this punishment was already extrajudicial.

"If the [-]th army stick shouts pain, you are not qualified to see Guan Junhou again." Qu Yi looked at Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin as if looking at perfect jade in the rough.

In terms of physique alone, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin are already the best candidates to be the first pawns!
Zhou Tai felt the provocation, and said: "Don't say it hurts, even if I snort, I'm not a good man!"

Jiang Qin also said: "If twenty army sticks cry out for pain, then I might as well draw my sword and kill myself."

Qu Yi laughed loudly: "How courageous! I hope you will be as tough as you are now. Come here, prepare for execution!"

Zhou Jing looked at Zhou Tai worriedly: "Brother——"

Zhou Tai interrupted Zhou Jing's words, stroked Zhou Jing's forehead, and said, "Don't worry, you brother, I have rough skin and thick flesh, and I can withstand beatings."

Soon.

Four soldiers came with military sticks and executed them at the gate of the camp.

When the twenty army sticks went down, neither Zhou Tai nor Jiang Qin groaned, which made all the soldiers gasp in amazement.

Withstanding [-] army sticks, the first infantry present can do it.

But if you want to be like Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, you don't even hum, not every soldier who goes to the camp first can do it.

Being brave and not afraid of death does not mean not crying out in pain.

"Sure enough, I can bear beatings." Qu Yi liked it more and more.

There are too many losses in the Xiandeng camp, and now there are less than 200 Xiandeng dead soldiers brought from Liangzhou.

Most of the rest of the first stepping infantry were supplementary recruits.

Qu Yi's conditions for selecting soldiers are very strict, and the requirements for generals are even more stringent.

Qu Yi offered an invitation: "Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai, would you like to join Xiandeng's camp and be classified as Xiandeng's infantry? You two can join Xiandeng's camp, and you can directly serve as Dubo."

"Frankly speaking, the infantry who boarded the camp first are the most elite infantry in Qingzhou!"

"The others, such as the Ruishi camp, the Baipao camp, the Baima camp, and the Feijun camp, are not as good as going to the camp first."

The Baimu Camp is a personal guard camp formed by Chen Dao for Liu Bei. With Chen Dao as the chief general and Guan Hai as the deputy general, all of them are tall and mighty men, all wearing iron armor and holding iron shields, and using hand axes as weapons.

The formations used in daily drills are also based on defense.

Bai Muying does not seek meritorious service, but seeks to be free from faults, only to protect Liu Bei alone!
The Flying Army Camp was formed by Tai Shici, who had recruited good water warriors from Donglai County after he transported fifty warships back to Qingzhou from Wu County.

Invincible, able to solve difficulties and dangers.The name is Flying Army.

Flying barracks all wear light leather armor, equipped with short knives and light bows. On the boat, they walk like flying on flat ground, and in the water, they are like fish in water with white stripes in the waves.

Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin looked at each other, but did not agree immediately.

"Thank you General for your kindness, but Aqin and I are still guilty, and I don't know if Guan Junhou can accept us." Zhou Tai said tactfully.

Jiang Qin also said: "If Guan Junhou is willing to accept us, he is willing to be under the general's command."

Qu Yi laughed loudly: "If the Lord had no intention of letting you join the camp first, why would he only punish you two with twenty army sticks?"

"Inviting you now is because I was afraid that Tian Yu would rob you."

Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were a little taken aback.

Qu Yi explained: "First of all, there are infantry camps and cavalry camps. The infantry camp is in charge of the general, and the cavalry camp is in charge of Tian Yu. That guy Tian Yu, relying on his fellowship with the lord, often follows him. Ben will steal people."

"Last time, there was a man named Xu Sheng who was deceived by Tian Yu. Tian Yu lied that he was inseparable from Zhao Yu and Zhuge Xuan, the famous officials in Langya, and that Zhuge Xuan's two nephews were both respected by the emperor. descendants of the younger generation."

"It is also said that Xu Sheng is from Langya, joining the cavalry camp will make it easier for him to honor his ancestors and be appreciated by the princes."

"That boring gourd Xu Sheng was really fooled by that fellow Tian Yu."

Qu Yi was a little annoyed.

It was not easy to find a strong man, but Tian Yu relied on being Master Lu's disciple, and told Xu Sheng the benefits of joining the cavalry battalion in various ways.

He didn't give Qu Yi a chance to interrupt.

Just like that, Qu Yi could only watch helplessly as Xu Sheng joined the cavalry camp.

"That guy Tian Yu will definitely go to the tent later."

"Don't listen to Tian Yu fooling around. That guy was just lucky. He became Mr. Zigan's disciple with General Yide, but he is actually not as good as this general."

"Do you know why Guan Junhou's soldiers are called Xiandengying? Because this Xiandengying was originally founded by this general."

"Later, I was going to attack Dong Zhuo with Guan Junhou and Mr. Zigan. There were too many casualties among the Xiandeng dead soldiers, so Guan Junhou organized the remaining Xiandeng dead soldiers, Danyang elite soldiers, and Youzhou cavalry into a new army."

"Guan Junhou thought that this new army should retain the title of Xiandeng, so he divided it into an infantry battalion and a cavalry battalion."

"The slogan of the first to climb the camp, 'Dare to advance on the mountain of swords, the sea of ​​​​fire will never retreat; every battle must be the first, and death will not follow', which is also the slogan of the first climbers before this general."

"Join the infantry battalion, and only then can you truly inherit the spirit of Xiandeng!"

"If you are willing to join, I will give you two altars of Mochizuki when you return to Qingzhou. That is the best wine in Qingzhou. It is not only sweet and delicious, but also as clear as a spring!"

In order to win over Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, Qu Yi also started fooling around.

As long as Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were allowed to join the infantry battalion before going to Guan Yu's tent, Tian Yu would have no way to rob people.

Zhou Tai subconsciously asked: "Is there really such clear wine?"

Jiang Qin's eyes also brightened.

Qu Yi had a bit of a taste.

Having said all that, are you interested in wine?

If I had known earlier, I might as well just talk about wine.

Under Qu Yi's promise, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin finally agreed to join the infantry battalion.

Zhou Jing said happily: "Brother has joined Xiandeng camp, so can I work under Guan Junhou's command?"

Zhou Tai immediately looked at Qu Yi with difficulty.

Qu Yi was not interested in Zhou Jing's slender arms and legs, and said, "You Ping, your younger brother is not strong enough to be a fierce soldier."

"However, you are the Dubo who first boarded the camp, so you are qualified to send your younger brother to the official school in Linzi City to learn how to read and write."

"If your younger brother is smart enough, maybe you can get advice from Mr. Kang Cheng."

Zhou Tai's tone suddenly became a little urgent: "Kang, Kang Chenggong? Kang Chenggong, a great scholar in Beihai? Really, really?"

Zhou Tai is not an ordinary person, and the Xia Cai Zhou family can be considered powerful.

But because Zhou Tai's father died early and his family declined, he was forced to join Yuan Shu's army.

Although Zhou Tai practiced martial arts, he was still very eager to practice prose.

The biggest difference between the powerful and the gentry is that most of the children of the gentry study literature, and there are famous officials and scholars as teachers.

Qu Yi said: "It's just that there is a chance, but it may not be possible. You should have heard of Liu Ye from Huainan, right? He is now Duke Kang Cheng's student."

Zhou Tai took a deep breath, and said solemnly to Zhou Jing: "Brother, you don't need to stay in the army anymore. I'll send you to the government school in Linzi City."

Jiang Qin was also envious: "Is it only Du Bo who is qualified?"

Qu Yi said: "Ordinary soldiers, if they have enough meritorious service, can also exchange their nephews and brothers for the qualifications to enroll. Dubo doesn't need to exchange for meritorious service."

"If the two of you have made meritorious service, you can use your meritorious service to exchange for qualifications, so that your nephews and nephews can attend Kang Chenggong's lectures."

Zhou Tai's eyes turned red immediately: "What if you want to become Kang Chenggong's student directly?"

Qu Yi smiled and said, "Don't think too much about it! For someone like you who hasn't made an inch of merit, if you want to directly make your nephew and brother Kang Chenggong's disciple, at least you must have the merit of capturing Yuan Shu alive."

"From the princes down, all the generals in the army want to covet this great achievement."

Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin looked at each other. Although they didn't speak, they already had an idea in their hearts.

Qu Yi remained calm, but when he turned around, his face was more sly.

Capturing Yuan Shu alive can obtain the qualification of Zhengxuanmen, this is not the regulation of Qingzhou.

It's more recent.

It was Zheng Ping's own letter to Guan Yu, which spread throughout the three armies.

Whether it is a general or a pawn, as long as Yuan Shu is captured alive, his nephews and brothers can become Zheng Xuan's disciples.

If there are no sons, nephews or brothers, the soldier who captured Yuan Shu alive can go by himself or give it to anyone.

Zheng Ping understood the mentality of these soldiers who were not afraid of life and death.

Who doesn't think about risking their lives on the battlefield?

The soldiers of this era are not the soldiers of later generations, and they do not yet have such a high awareness of defending their families and the country.

They all came to the battlefield to work hard for the benefits.

If there is no benefit, who would really give up their lives?
And Zheng Ping is another one who will give benefits.

Who is Zheng Xuan?

Famous scholars in the world!

As long as one can be Zheng Xuan's disciple, it is tantamount to crossing the class.

From then on, he is no longer an ordinary general, but a real scholar!

People are profit-seeking.

Especially soldiers in this era are more profit-seeking.

Why is it required that the commanding general be rewarded and punished clearly?
The "Sima Law" has long explained: Rewards are not overdue, and the people are expected to quickly obtain the benefits of doing good;

Zheng Ping wanted to use Zheng Xuan's name again to raise the morale of the soldiers to its peak.

If you don't capture Yuan Shu, you will never return!
Handsome account.

Guan Yu waited quietly holding "Lu Shi's New Book".

Tian Yu came after hearing the news.

And behind Tian Yu, Xu Sheng, a warrior recruited in Langya County, followed.

"Second brother, I heard that two warriors have come to the barracks?" Tian Yu smiled openly, as if he was determined to win.

Guan Yu gently put down the "Lu Shi's New Book" in his hand, stroked his beard and said: "Guorang, you came too late, Bowei probably has already asked Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin to join the infantry battalion."

Tian Yu didn't take it seriously: "That's because they don't understand the benefits of cavalry camps. Cavalry camps have war horses."

"So what if there are war horses? Is it better than the strong bows and crossbows of the infantry battalion?" Qu Yi's loud voice came from outside, blocking Tian Yu's wooing Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin as soon as he opened his mouth: "Don't even think about it Youping and Gongyi are already the Dubos of the infantry battalion."

Tian Yu chuckled and said, "Such a fierce man, isn't he a mere governor? If you come to my cavalry camp, you can be a captain."

Qu Yi opened his eyes and said, "Become a captain when you first came here? Will the generals of your cavalry battalion be convinced?"

Tian Yu pointed to Xu Sheng who was beside him: "If you don't accept it, just conquer it. Wen Xiang just defeated the five Dubos and became the captain."

Qu Yi was quite speechless.

In terms of eloquence, Qu Yi was no match for Tian Yu.

"Okay." Guan Yu dissuaded in time: "Bowei, Guorang, don't argue about this kind of thing. Since Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin have joined the infantry battalion, they will be the captains of the infantry battalion from now on."

Tian Yu felt a little regretful: "It's a pity, why isn't I patrolling tonight?"

After thinking for a while, Tian Yu asked again: "Two heroes, I still need two captains, but are there any villagers I know? They need to be skilled in riding, loyal and righteous."

Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin shook their heads.

Tian Yu was even more regretful.

Jiang Qin suddenly said: "There is a small official named Cang Ci in Huainan. He has a clear contract. He should be a Chinese official in the army."

Zhou Taidao: "Cang Xiaoren is good at farming, Aqin, you let him be a Chinese official in the army, it's a bit of a shame."

Jiang Qin said: "That's different. Although Cang Xiaoren has great talent, he is just a petty official who is not valued in Huainan. If he can be a civil servant in the army of a prince, he will govern one side after he has made meritorious service. How could it be Qu Cai?"

Guan Yu silently memorized the name.

Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin are both warriors who value righteousness. A petty official who can be admired by the two must have something outstanding.

Guan Yu has gradually acquired the mindset of a state shepherd, and began to consciously search for talents.

Guan Yu is naturally very skilled in marching and fighting.

To govern the region, Guan Yu is needed to promote capable and trustworthy talents.

With the addition of Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, Xian Dengying's combat power has once again increased.

The two also provided Guan Yu with a lot of information about Yuan Shujun.

Knowing that Guan Yu was going to use an offensive strategy, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin took the initiative to ask for orders.

"Your Majesty, General Mo also has some old acquaintances in Yuan Shu's army, and they all joined the army under the coercion of Yuan Shu." Zhou Tai said with emotion: "General Mo is willing to lobby with Gong Yi."

Guan Yu frowned and said, "The two of you have offended Yuan Shu's general, Le Jiu, so if you go back to lobby your old acquaintances at this time, wouldn't it be a sheep in the mouth of a tiger?"

Zhou Tai said fearlessly: "The last general's old acquaintances are only the low-level generals of Yuan Shu's army, and they usually camp at the outermost periphery."

"What's more, if Gong Yi and I can break through in front of Le Jiu, we won't be afraid of being seen by Le Jiu again."

"If we meet him this time, we will just kill him!"

Guan Yu Zhuang said: "How courageous! In this case, the two of you will be responsible for the execution of the heart-attack strategy, and this Marquis will temporarily deploy the coordinating soldiers to you two."

After letting Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin rest for the night, Guan Yu asked them to lead the old and weak soldiers who were willing to call their father and brother to Yuan Shu's camp.

I don't want to kill the generals and capture the flag, but I just want to disturb Yuan Shu's army.

"Your Majesty, just letting Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin lead the crowd to disturb Yuan Shu's army will not be enough to defeat Yuan Shu's army."

"It's better to hang up the sky lanterns and use the strategy of exhausting soldiers."

Chen Deng suggested.

Guan Yu smiled knowingly: "Does Mr. Yuan Long want Yuan Shu to recall the past in Fengqiu City?"

"If the sky lanterns were hung up, Yuan Shu would think he was in an ambush again, and either the whole battalion would be on alert, or he would flee in a hurry."

"No matter what the result is, Yuan Shu will exhaust his army."

Chen Deng also laughed and said: "The art of using soldiers is not true. Even if Yuan Shu has doubts, he dare not gamble!"

"Let Yuan Shu be a bird of fright first!"
