Chapter 116 Red Star Army

The three brothers embraced each other and wept. It took a long time to stabilize their emotions and take their seats.

"Hehe, Yun Chang wanted to make an apology as soon as he came, but I forgot for a moment that this battle in Jingzhou was a great victory?" Liu Bei smiled helplessly.

After this battle, not only was Jingzhou not lost, but we also took Guiyang back, and there was not much loss in our troops, and we even extorted... ahem, and claimed a large sum of money and food.

On the contrary, it was Sun Quan who lost his troops, lost his generals, ceded land and paid compensation, shouldn't he be the one who cried?

Why are the three of us crying?
Zhang Fei slapped the table: "That's right, the second brother rejected Cao Wei in the north and flooded the Seventh Army with water, and refused in the east Sun Quan's killing of the enemy and beheading the generals. It's nothing more than meritorious service. What's the crime?"

It's not like when he lost Xuzhou back then, it was really lost, even his brother's family members were lost...

Guan Yu shook his head and sighed: "Although the result is so, there must be mistakes after all. Besides, if it weren't for Adou, the results of this battle would definitely not have been achieved, and it was not my credit."

Liu Chan was a little helpless after hearing this, but it was not surprising that the words came from Uncle Guan's mouth.

Old Liu waved his hand when he heard this: "Since the loss in this battle is not big, and Guiyang was recaptured, it will be considered that the merits and demerits are equal, and there is no need to punish."

"Thank you, brother." Guan Yu cupped his fists and saluted.

After saying this, Lao Liu finally turned his head to look at Liu Chan, and said with a straight face: "Hmph, what a great thing you did secretly!"

The tone and demeanor were almost exactly the same as what Liu Chan had learned on the boat before.

"Pfft!" Zhang Fei just wanted to drink water to moisten his throat, when he heard this sentence, he sprayed water on the ground, coughing and still couldn't help smiling.

Looking at Guan Ping also secretly pinching his thigh, even Guan Yu, who was filled with guilt, smiled faintly at this time.

Old Liu looked at them suspiciously: "Yide, what's the matter?"

"Ahem...uh, there's nothing wrong with it, it's just choking." Zhang Fei waved his hand.

When Lao Liu saw this, he didn't go into it, he turned his head and said with a stern face: "Didn't you go to escort the soldiers? Why didn't you come back?"

"The military adviser once told my boy that Jiangdong had always wanted to win me Jingzhou. At that time, my second uncle was leading the army, and my boy was worried that my second uncle's rear would be unstable, so I stayed to help." In fact, what Liu Chan said was basically the truth.

"Hmph! With such a big battle, how can you be of much help?"

What's the situation, while training me in my mouth, I increase my goodwill in my heart... The increase in goodwill doesn't delay training me, right?

"Brother, this statement is wrong." Guan Yu smiled, "Jiangling besieged Lu Meng shot him to death with an arrow, and the 6000 people left behind by the river broke Lu Xun and captured the enemy's lieutenant general. Burned his granary, and finally defeated his army...

"Everything is done by Adou. Without Adou, I'm afraid my life will end, but it has helped me a lot."

At this time, because paper was not widely used, the message was often delivered in extremely concise words, and many things in the previous battle report only mentioned the result.

He really didn't know that Liu Chan had done so many things after burning Jiangling.

Although the second brother may have deliberately exaggerated, but A Dou still helped if he thought about it.

Liu Bei's tone softened a lot: "Ahem. Even so, fighting on the battlefield is no better than practicing martial arts to suppress bandits. If you miss, you will be..."

"I can't lose my hand!" Zhang Fei waved his hand and laughed, "Brother, you didn't see that, Ah Dou entered the Wu army formation single-handedly, as if he had entered the land of no one! At the same age, he was not so brave.

"A Doulian's pro-army is also all brave and not afraid of death. They are very elite. Fighting Wu soldiers is like killing chickens and dogs. How could they miss?"

"Even so, you are young and inexperienced after all, then Sun Quan..."

"Sun Quan is a fart!" Mr. Zhang said with joy, obviously in high spirits, regardless of the face of his brother who was interrupted one after another, his face was already darker than him...

"Brother, you don't know that Sun Quan sent someone to ask for peace. During the interview at the riverside, A Dou refuted him speechlessly. In the end, he not only obediently withdrew from the police, but also cede land and pay compensation for a truce!"

[Swordsmanship talent upgraded to excellent talent]

Liu Bei stopped talking and just stared at Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei smiled awkwardly: "Brother, you continue."

Only then did Liu Bei turn his gaze back: "..."

"What the hell am I trying to say?"

Seeing Liu Chan obediently waiting for his next words, Lao Liu suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Liu Bei, whose favorability has been pulled to 81, now thinks how pleasing his son is.

"Adou really contributed a lot this time. Although I lied to myself, the original intention was good after all. It's really too much to reprimand him as soon as he comes back."

"Well... that's all, but if you want to do something important in the future, you need to inform the widow in advance, and you can't take risks."

"Yes." Liu Chan readily agreed to this, without any rebellious intentions at all.

If it was the old Liu, maybe seeing Liu Chan suddenly being so honest, he would wonder if he was going to make some excessive demands or do something out of the ordinary.

For example, during the time before he went to Jingzhou, he kept his own order and was diligent and studious every day.

But at this time, he only felt that his son had grown up and became sensible.

"Speaking of which, since the widow has promised to use your people as the prince's army, there is no need to use your private property to support his expenses in the future." Liu Bei said again.

"Thank you, father, the father only needs to keep their original treatment unchanged."

Liu Bei said proudly: "They have followed you through life and death, and they have made great contributions this time. Since they have formally formed an army in the future, their food and salaries will naturally be doubled."

Liu Chan still looked very well-behaved, but with a sly smile hidden in the corner of his mouth, he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Father."

Seeing that Liu Chan didn't speak loudly to him like before, Liu Bei twisted his beard and said with a smile: "Does this army have a number? Since it is an elite, you can take a number to increase the honor and disgrace of the soldiers. If..."

"Let's call it the 'Red Star Army'." Liu Chan blurted out without thinking much.

Lao Liu hastily swallowed the following "If you don't have a serial number, why don't you get one for you, my father?"

"Red Star..." Fazheng smiled after a little thought, "Han inherited the virtue of fire and ruled the world, and the virtue of fire is red. The prince's baby name is also related to the stars...It is good to use Chixing as the name of the army."

Liu Chan silently praised Fazheng in his heart. Although it was far from what he really thought in his heart, you explained it very well!

How much trouble I saved myself.

Old Liu nodded when he heard the words: "Okay, let's call it the Red Star Army."

In the twelfth lunar month of the 24th year of Jian'an, Liu Chan's prince's army was officially named the Red Star Army.

"Father, I want to expand the number of Red Star Army to 2000, do you see?"

Now Liu Chan counts the reserve team, and there are only less than 1000 people, which is not large in terms of the prince's army.

Since Lao Liu promised to reimburse their expenses, he can also take this opportunity to expand.

It is not difficult for Lao Liu to agree to bring his own army to make such a great contribution.

As for whether Lao Liu would suspect him because of this... that's impossible.

Although this period is the so-called "ritual collapse and music decay", there have also been many inhumane massacres and other things.

But before Sima Yi's eternal fart was released, courtiers had many taboos about seizing power, so they had to keep it under control.

It is unbelievable that his own son murdered his father to take over the throne.

Not to mention that Liu Chan naturally lacks competitors, and has no such motivation and necessity at all.

Even this is a good thing for Lao Liu.

The prince made such a great contribution and took this opportunity to expand his strength. No matter who he is, he will have nothing to say. This is a great opportunity to strengthen the central military.

What's more, of the two factions in power now, the leader of the Jingzhou faction is Zhuge Liang, and the leader of the Dongzhou faction is Mrs. Wu and Wu Yi's Wu family, as well as Fazheng.

Due to Liu Chan's special status of being respected by both the Jingzhou and Dongzhou factions, he will certainly not give any resistance to this matter.

Sure enough, Lao Liu said without much hesitation: "I think it's all right, what does Xiaozhi think?"

Fazheng is really cruel to those he hates or offends him, but he is also really kind to those he likes.

He immediately said: "The soldiers of the Red Star Army are elite, and the prince is wise and brave. Expanding the army is good for the prince's safety and the improvement of our army's combat power. Why not?"

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others will not have any opinions.

That's how things were settled.

Of course, the cost of the Red Star Army may be slightly different from what Lao Liu expected...

But Liu Chan believes that he will be able to make Lao Liu realize in the near future that he spent the money well.

Power comes from the barrel of a gun.

Big fists make it easier for others to understand your own reasoning.

To accomplish anything, it is necessary to have a powerful armed force.

And Liu Chan's military expansion and reorganization this time is not only to increase the size of the army by a notch, but also to continue to adjust the internal structure of the Red Star Army.

The Red Star Army is also his "experimental field", through constant adjustments and experiments, trying to replicate that legendary army as much as possible.

Some things are different in times, environments, and people's ideological foundations, so they cannot be copied mechanically.

But there are also some things... that are the most instinctive pursuit of human beings, even after thousands of years.

Using these unchanging things as the foundation to adjust the problems that do not conform to this era is the "experiment" that Liu Chan is conducting on the Red Star Army.

If he succeeds, he will have an army that can crush this era, even if it uses all the equipment of the same era, it can still crush it.

After all, that army even beat the enemy with outdated equipment and fewer people...

At least from the current point of view, the experimental results are still optimistic.
