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

Chapter 28 Selecting generals and trainees, Guan Yu is still arrogant

Gaotang County, Xicheng.

A military camp is planned here, with high wooden fences, far away from the downtown area, for county soldiers to train.

Gaotang County only has [-] county soldiers, unlike Pingyuan County, where another military camp will be built outside the city near the mountains and rivers.

In the school grounds, three hundred county soldiers stabbed with spears or slashed with swords, and the momentum of the drill was vigorous.

On the crude general's platform, a tall and straight general with red phoenix eyes, crouching silkworm eyebrows, long beard reaching his belly, and a haughty face stood with his sword.

It was Liu Bei's sworn brother Guan Yu, who is also the current county captain of Gaotang County.

The hot sun shone on his face, adding a layer of blush to his already flushed face.

"Compared to the Yanzhao heroes, the soldiers in Gaotang County are much weaker in stamina and perseverance."

Guan Yu's face was a bit unfriendly.

The county soldiers are uneven, and it is extremely difficult to practice.

"Report! The county lieutenant, the county magistrate asked to enter at the gate of the barracks."

"allow!"

Hearing the guard's report, Guan Yu's sharp eyes softened a little.

Jin Ming sounded, causing the flag to wave.

The [-] county soldiers suspended the drill and looked at Guan Yu who was on the stage.

"Line up!" The flag officer shouted.

The county soldiers hurriedly gathered to the eight flags in front of the general's platform.

But the movement of gathering was still a little messy, Guan Yu couldn't help frowning.

During the gathering of the county soldiers, Liu Bei, Zheng Ping and Zhang Fei came on horseback.

When Zhang Fei saw Guan Yu standing on the stage, he immediately shouted: "Second Brother, Big Brother has invited Mr. Zheng back, and I will practice county soldiers with you in the future!"

If there is no Zheng Ping, Liu Bei is going to let Zhang Fei come to serve as the county magistrate.

Guan Yu never liked to deal with scholars, but only liked the atmosphere of the military camp. The county magistrate had to be a trusted person, so only Zhang Fei could concurrently serve.

Guan Yu jumped off the platform and walked towards Liu Bei, looking at Liu Bei with admiration: "Brother!"

"Yun Chang has worked hard on the military exercise!" Liu Bei got off his horse and took out a sweat towel to wipe the sweat off Guan Yu's face.

It was not the first time for this skillful movement.

Guan Yu's aloofness disappeared in an instant in front of Liu Bei, and he didn't stop Liu Bei from wiping his sweat. He said in a concentrated voice, "Sharing the elder brother's worries, my stupid brother's duty!"

But when he looked at Zheng Ping, his aloofness was restored in an instant.

Seeing Guan Yu's appearance, Liu Bei quickly recommended him, "Yun Chang, this is Zheng Ping, the son of Mr. Kang Cheng in Beihai, and his name shows his conspiracy."

"Mr. Zheng has the talent to manage the world. Brother Yu has already worshiped Mr. as the magistrate of Gaotang County."

Holding the fan, Zheng Ping bowed slightly: "Beihai Zheng Ping, you're being polite!"

Guan Yu squinted his eyes, glanced at Zheng Ping, and then slightly cupped his hands: "County Lieutenant Guan Yu, I have seen Zheng County Cheng."

Both Liu Bei and Zhang Fei respectfully addressed him as Mr. Guan Yu, but Guan Yu directly called him Xiancheng. This feeling of birth was written directly on his face.

"Second Brother, Mister is a great talent, not a rotten Confucian." Zhang Fei approached Guan Yu and whispered softly.

Liu Bei was also a little embarrassed.

Guan Yu's nature is not aimed at Zheng Ping deliberately, but at all scholars.

"Sir, Yun Chang's personality has always been like this, and it's not intentional." Liu Bei also explained in a low voice.

Seeing that Liu Bei and Zhang Fei were so cautious towards Zheng Ping, Guan Yu's impression of Zheng Ping was even worse.

Knowing Guan Yu's personality, Zheng Ping shook his head lightly: "It's okay! Let's see how the county soldiers go out to practice first!"

Guan Yu couldn't help snorting coldly: "Brother, the county magistrate is in charge of civil affairs, and the county lieutenant is in charge of military affairs. How can the person in charge of civil affairs intervene in military affairs?"

"Yun Chang, don't be rude!" Liu Bei reprimanded softly: "Go to practice the county soldiers, let me and my husband see the results."

Seeing that Liu Bei was slightly angry, Guan Yu immediately turned around with cupped fists, took the command flag from the flag officer's hand, and began to practice the three hundred county soldiers.

"Sir, did Yun Chang's rehearsal catch your eye?" Liu Bei was slightly proud: "Although they can't be called elite, these county soldiers used to be chaotic even in formation."

"Captain Guan County is indeed capable of training a mob from a county into an army." Zheng Ping praised lightly, and then shook his head: "It's just that this kind of training method can only be used for patrolling a county. It’s hard to do anything.”

With sharp ears, Guan Yu couldn't help being sullen when he heard Zheng Ping's comment.

Danfeng narrowed his eyes, and Guan Yu looked at Zheng Ping with an unkind expression: "Does Zheng Xiancheng know how to train troops?"

The feather fan shook slightly, but Zheng Pingping did not change his expression, and chuckled lightly: "I understand!"

A "little understanding" made Guan Yu even more angry.

A little understanding, not really a little understanding.

To use the word is either modesty or disdain.

In Guan Yu's eyes, Zheng Ping was obviously disdainful!
Even if you understand a little, it is better than Guan Yu's method of training soldiers. This is more annoying than saying that Guan Yu is not good at training soldiers!

Guan Yu's nine-foot body stood upright like a demon god, and his words were a little more chilly: "I would like to hear the county magistrate's opinion!"

Zheng Ping glanced at the county soldiers who lined up again: "I don't dare to be a high opinion, I have some humble opinions, please comment on the county captain Guan."

"Among the county soldiers, are there any brave men who are not afraid of death in battle?"

Guan Yu thought Zheng Ping was mocking, and shouted to the county soldiers: "Zhang Hu, Zhang Can, Dong Qin... come out!"

The 12 people whose names were called out rushed out.

These are the 12 most fearless of death among the 12 county soldiers, and they are also the [-] most admired by Guan Yu.

Even if they are not the most burly and brave in martial arts, they have the heart to fight to the death!

"Major Zheng, this is a brave soldier of the county soldiers, but is it still in your eyes?" Guan Yu's tone was still not kind.

Zheng Ping didn't answer Guan Yu's question, but continued to ask: "Is there anyone who is full of vigor, strong and brave, and tyrannical?"

Guan Yu was stunned for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "It seems that the county magistrate feels that there are no brave men among the county soldiers."

"Tao Erniu, Wu Huzi, Zhang Sanduo,... come out!"

The ones who came out this time were all tall and round, but there were only six of them.

"Is there anyone who is good at using the long sword, cherishes the reputation, can line up neatly, advance steadily, and not rush?" Zheng Ping asked again.

But Guan Yu was a little dazed: "Why do you ask this?"

Zheng Ping didn't answer, and continued to ask: "Is there anyone who can win by stretching the distance, stretches the hook to straighten, is tyrannical and fierce, has amazing arm strength, and dares to go straight to the enemy's center, destroy the enemy's golden drum, and seize the enemy's flag?"

"Is there someone who can climb high and travel far, is light and flexible, and good at running?"

"Is there anyone whose father and brother died at the hands of the Yellow Turban and wanted to avenge their father and brother?"

"Are there any sons-in-law and servants who want to wash away their shame and make a name for themselves?"

"Is there anyone who used to be a prisoner and wants to escape and cover up this shame?"

"Is there someone with talents and skills beyond ordinary people who can carry heavy loads and travel long distances?"

After asking for a while, the arrogance in Guan Yu's eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by embarrassment.

Guan Yu could understand every word of Zheng Ping, but he couldn't understand the meaning of these words combined.

On the contrary, Liu Bei had some impressions: "Sir, could it be that what you are talking about is the method of training scholars in "Six Secret Teachings"?"
