Three Kingdoms: The opening incorporates Li Cunxiao

Chapter 497 Lu Meng’s Choice
In the next few days, Lu Meng finally saw what it means to be an emperor among horses.

Every day at noon, after Chi Ji has used the fodder, the grooms will bring in a variety of horses for him to choose from.

As dusk approaches, Chi Ji will also go out for a walk under the accompaniment of a dedicated person.

The salary of the grooms is also ridiculously high.

There is wine with every meal and meat with every meal.

These former warriors on the battlefield would also wrestle and wrestle every day after dinner.

Those who knew this was Chi Ji's stable, but those who didn't knew thought they were entering a military camp.

Lü Meng also boasted that he was brave enough to compete, but he couldn't even defeat Xu Yan, who was missing an arm.

In fact, Xu Yan can only be regarded as middle-class among the grooms.

I found out after asking.

Those here were all at the lowest level of Feixiong or Yunhui's camp school level.

The most powerful one is named Chen Xun. It is said that when Zhang Wu fought against Xianbei, he was the flag-bearing officer beside him.

"Amon, why are you sitting here alone, what are you thinking about?"

"Yes, why are you so shy? You are all your brothers here. No wonder Chi Ji doesn't like it because you are so coy."

"Hahahaha, don't tell me, this kid is going to that one, quietly like a little girl."

Xu Yan cursed and sat down next to Lu Meng.

"Don't take it seriously. Men who come from military camps have rough mouths."

Lu Meng shook his head. Not only was there no dissatisfaction in his eyes, he was completely filled with yearning.

This is not so much a stable as it is the epitome of a powerful army.

As long as you quietly listen to each of their stories, you can understand Zhang Wu's glory from another perspective.

The fascinating golden sword and iron horse, the old armor of yellow sand that makes people passionate.

What Lu Meng saw from them was something that no one in the Jiangdong Army had ever experienced before.

Even if the general is in danger, they are always ready to rush to the battlefield and die for Zhang Wu.

"Brother Xu, can you tell me about the general?"

"There's nothing wrong with this. It's just that I'm clumsy with my tongue and I can't say enough good things about the general."

"I'm all ears."

"Everyone in the world knows that generals are brave. There are always victors in battles in the north and south, and it is common to pick generals by breaking through. You should also know this, so I won't go into details. I can only tell you about the generals in my mind."

Lu Meng nodded, and Xu Yan continued: "After the battle in Puyang, I lost an arm. At that time, I no longer wanted to live. I came from Xiliang and was under the command of Li Guo. I have seen too many ways they treat wounded soldiers, or Bury them on the spot, or leave them to three or five elders to fend for themselves."

"I have become like this. I am dragged along so hard that my parents, wife, and children will suffer along with me. But the general does not think that I am disabled, so he recruits me as a horseman. Even among thirty thousand flying bears, he can clearly remember Live my name."

"You have also seen that I am not so much Chi Ji's horseman as I am a useless person who comes here to enjoy the blessings. Not only me, but also anyone who was injured by the old army or arranged an errand in a close place, or the general divided a place in the city. The land provides for their living. Ninety-nine percent of the 20,000 households in the Zhang family’s settlement belong to useless people like us.”

Xu Yan was hoarse and burst into tears: "If I'm lucky enough, I, Xu Yan, am willing to serve the general to the death to repay the kindness of the mountains and seas!"

"Xu Datou, it's not your turn to die serving the general. With your martial arts skills, you'd better save your life and collect my body."

"What? Xu Datou can't do it, but you, Zhu Laosi, can do it? A man with a broken leg has the nerve to fight for it?"

"Don't accept the trial and try to live? I broke a leg and I will deal with you just the same."

"Come just come, I'm afraid you won't make it!"

Looking at the two people in the distance who took action as soon as they said so, Lu Meng felt a little emotional.

Everyone knows that Zhang Wu and Cao Hong are the most famous misers under Cao Cao. I never bring money with me when I go out for a banquet, and I always find ways to make money from other people.

Lu Meng thought the same thing when he was rejected for borrowing money.

But even such a person can pay for the care of wounded soldiers at his own expense.

Are you saying he's just trying to gain fame? But outsiders never know these things.

Character is seen in the details.

I really am blind to the vastness of the world.

It's time to make a decision!

"Hey~ It looks like dinner is about to be served. Why are you leaving?"

Lu Meng turned around and clasped his fists: "Thanks to you for taking care of me these days, Lu Meng is not an unjust person, so he has fulfilled your unfulfilled wish. If you are lucky one day, I will come back here to feed the horses with you!"

In Jiangdong, he is a little transparent. If he hadn't been his childhood sweetheart with Sun Shangxiang's maid Jiu Yue, perhaps no one else would even know who he was. Naturally, he has no special sense of belonging to Sun Ce.

If he was allowed to choose, he would prefer to serve as a soldier under Zhang Wu.

At least with such a general here, even if he dies, he won't have to worry about what happens after his death. He can still have his name engraved in Cao Wei's Yingling Pavilion and enjoy the incense of the world!

"Okay, you don't have to fight. The limelight has been stolen by Amon."

"Okay, if you go, at least come back to the camp, otherwise I will be embarrassed to say hello to people when I go out."

Report! ~
"General, Lu Meng would like to see you."

"This guy came quickly enough." Zhang Wu muttered and waved his hand at the messenger: "Please come in."

After a while, Lu Meng came in and saw Zhang Wu. He knelt on one knee and clasped his fists: "The last general, Lu Meng, pays homage to the general. I also ask the general to designate an old soldier to teach Mongolian martial arts. Once he has learned it, he can be used by the general."

"You are not a martial artist. If you don't believe me, you can just ask my groom."

"."

Zhang Wu pointed to the bookshelf in the hall: "But I have prepared some military books and formation strategies for you."

"This!" Lu Meng raised his head and looked at Zhang Wu blankly.

In this era, especially military books, each one is worth tens of thousands of dollars and is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"What? Can't read?"

Lu Meng kowtowed heavily: "I dare not say thank you for my great kindness. I will relieve the general's worries in the future. If you go against this, you will die a good death if thousands of arrows pierce your heart!"

"Okay. In this case, don't follow me as a guard of honor. You can study in the house during your free time."

"Here!"

Lu Meng himself looks good, so he is naturally qualified to serve as a guard of honor.

Zhang Wu arranged this because he was afraid that some people would not appreciate it because they got it too easily.

Since he had made up his mind to train Lu Meng, he naturally couldn't let him grow crooked.

Just like in later generations, when everyone has books to read, they feel that it is ordinary and unimportant.

With the same resources, it is not uncommon for some people to take the exam of Qingbei and some to take the exam of Lan Yangyu.

Of course, Lu Meng is just one part of it.

Zhang Wu had previously sent a message to Yecheng to transfer Lu Su to the post of governor of Hefei.
