Soldiers come to the world

The person who came was the bandit leader known as the Zuo King of Jiangxia. He was originally a general of Liu Pi in Runan. Because he was from Xiangyang, Liu Pi ordered him to go back to Jingzhou to build a new foundation. However, the people of Jingzhou were determined and unwilling. It took him three years to become a bandit on the mountain before he pulled out an army of more than a thousand people, which was far from the goal of ten thousand a year that he had sworn to Liu Pi.

Today he happened to go down the mountain to pick up his brother who had returned from the robbery, but he heard that his brother Wang Tai met his benefactor, he knew very well that Wang Tai's benefactor was Liu Jing, Liu Biao's nephew, which made him anxious and urged his horse to come after him.

Dozens of steps away, Liu Jing looked up and down the bandit leader. He was 25 and [-] years old, with a stature of eight feet and a handsome appearance. He was holding a long knife weighing at least fifty catties, wearing an eagle-prismatic helmet and armor. , Where does he look like a bandit, he is clearly a general.

Jiangxia Zuo Wang was also looking at Liu Jing, who was a little taller than himself, young and handsome, with an extraordinary appearance, his eyes seemed to be sharp enough to see through his own heart, and he thought to himself, "So this is the well-known Mr. True to its name. '

But at this time, Jiang Xia Zuo Wang was more concerned about his subordinates, he got off his horse, stepped forward and said to Wang Tai: "Second brother, do you really want to abandon brother and leave?"

Wang Tai sighed, pulled the leader aside, and persuaded him in a low voice: "Brother, in fact, this is an opportunity. The Runan Yellow Turban has been destroyed, Liu Pi and Gong are both dead, and the elder brother has been fighting for three years. Is there any hope for the future?"

Wang Tai's words hit the heart of Jiangxia Zuowang. He originally came to Jingzhou to fight with great hope, but three years later, he only had a thousand people under him, and it was difficult for him to support only these thousand people, otherwise he would not They will cross the border and run to the river to loot.

They can't get along anymore, their reputation is notorious, life is getting more and more difficult, officers and soldiers are encircling and suppressing each time more fiercely, it is very likely that Liu Biao will also send troops to encircle them, and more importantly, the Runan Yellow Turban Army is dead. If he perishes, what is his future?

Jiangxia Zuo Wang sighed, "Even Gan Ning surrendered to the government, so why do I want to be a thief all my life? I wanted to join Liu Bei. After all, he came from Runan. Liu Pi and Gong both surrendered to him, but I feel that I have no future with Liu Bei, and I can't make up my mind."

Wang Tai understood the elder brother's thoughts very well, he had great ambitions, but his talents were not met. He wanted to follow the example of Gan Ning and seek refuge with Liu Biao, but he was afraid that Liu Biao would not allow him, so he handed him over to Huang Zu. Liu Biao's nephew is also my benefactor, he is benevolent and tolerant, and he will not worry about his future."

Jiang Xia Zuo Wang was also a little tempted, this is Liu Biao's nephew, he will be a prince of Jingzhou in the future, he pondered for a while and said, "I don't know if he will accept me?"

"I'm going to speak for my brother!"

Wang Tai quickly walked up to Liu Jing again, bowed his head and said: "Young Master, my elder brother is also a talented person, both civil and military. He doesn't want to be a thief for the rest of his life. He is willing to follow you. I wonder if you want to be included?"

Liu Jing took another look at Jiang Xia Zuo Wang who was not far away, and saw that he was looking at this side expectantly, with a bent whip in his hand, looking a little anxious, no matter how he looked at him, he didn't look like an ordinary bandit, Liu Jing's heart moved, Then he asked, "What's the name of this Jiang Xia Zuo Wang?"

"His surname is Liao Minghua, his character is Yuanjian, and he is from Zhonglu, Xiangyang."

Liu Jing was stunned, and then he was pleasantly surprised. It turns out that the left king of Jiangxia is Liao Hua. No wonder he doesn't look like an ordinary thief, but looks like a general. He is sincerely working for me, and I will definitely use him again."

Wang Tai galloped away, not long after, Liao Hua followed him quickly, and knelt down in front of Liu Jing, "The bandit Liao Hua, Mr. Meng Jing never gave up, it's because you are doing the work of a dog and a horse!"

Liu Jing hurriedly got off his horse and helped Liao Hua up, "General Liao is a great general, it's a pity to be reduced to a yellow scarf. Fortunately, the general wakes up, and it's not too late. Since the general is willing to serve me, Liu Jing, I will never treat you badly." to you!"

Liao Hua felt both ashamed and joyful, ashamed because he still laughed at Gan Ning for joining the government, but he himself finally took this path, joyful because he felt Liu Jing's sincerity, and did not despise him because he was born as a Yellow Turban bandit , This respect made him feel a sense of being human again.

He also said very sincerely: "Liao Hua has been confused for many years. Today, meeting the Lord of the Ming Dynasty is like seeing the sun through the clouds. I am very happy. Liao Hua should change his mind and start a new life."

For some reason, Liu Jing suddenly thought of the saying, "There are no generals in Shu, Liao Hua is the vanguard." In fact, in turn, Shu Zhong is not that bad, but it proves that Liao Hua can conduct himself in the world.

. . . . . .

Although Liao Hua was eager to follow Liu Jing, Liu Jing did not take him with him immediately. Liao Hua surrendered to Liu Jing because of Wang Taizhi's persuasion. Although his tone was very sincere, Liu Jing always felt a little rushed. Time, so he asked Liao Hua to clean up the cottage, dismissed the tribe, and made an appointment with Chaisang to meet.

And Liu Jing took Wang Tai and other twenty or so of the military slaves he released back then. Unlike Liao Hua, they were determined to follow him. Drive south.

Liu Jing stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the river with his hands behind his back. The further south he went, the wider the river became. Extra wide.

At this time, Xu Shu walked slowly to his side, looked at Jiang Mian and said with a smile, "I never thought that this accident would turn out to be a great harvest in the end."

"Yuan Zhi didn't blame me for accepting the Yellow Turban Bandit as a subordinate?" Liu Jing glanced at him and asked with a smile.

Xu Shu shook his head and sighed, "Actually, I admire Cao Cao very much. No matter how high or low he is, he should only focus on his talents. It's easy to say, but it's very difficult to do it. You can see it from Liu Jingzhou, not to mention his status." He is humble, even the high-status northern gentry, he would refuse to use him, let alone someone with a humble background, Mr. Jing, regardless of Liao Hua's yellow scarf background, resolutely included him, which made me admire your son's heart even more. You are an outlier in Jingzhou! "

There was a wry smile on the corner of Liu Jing's mouth. He was indeed an outlier in Jingzhou. There was no distinction between high and low family in his mind. Although he had already integrated into this era in his speech habits, his thoughts still retained a little bit of equality for later generations. Those who did not receive the education of this era naturally did not bear the brand of this era.

Although Liu Jing is also trying to integrate, the things in his bones will not change. He has always had a wish in his heart. He hopes that one day, not he will adapt to this society, but this society will adapt to him.

At this time, Xiao Baozi blamed it from the cabin, "You are not sencha, it is decoction. Sencha can't be distracted at all. If you are like you, it will disappear in a blink of an eye. You should die of thirst."

Liu Jing and Xu Shu looked at each other, and they both showed knowing smiles. This is Xiao Baozi teaching Hou Wu a lesson. Hou Wu is the five monkeys. He is only 11 years old today, the same age as Xiao Baozi, since he was three years old. He was begging for food on the street, and he had been a bandit in the mountains for three years. Liu Jing liked his wit, so he took him in, named him Liu Zheng, and nicknamed him Hou Wu.

Hou Wutian was quick-witted by nature, especially good at observing words and expressions. As soon as he got on the boat, he tried his best to please Xiao Baozi and work for her. Unfortunately, he was not a material for sencha, and he failed to sencha twice, and was scolded by Xiao Baozi.

Liu Jing walked into the cabin slowly, and saw Hou Wu standing with his head down, hands down, with a dejected expression on his face, while Xiao Baozi had his hands on his hips, looking like a savage elder sister, teaching Hou Wu of his futility.

Seeing Liu Jing coming in, Xiao Baozi had no choice but to say angrily: "Forget it, you are not the material for making tea, I will come here in the future, and you don't need to fold the son's clothes, you can just serve tea and water, and run errands!"

"Hou Wu, go and learn how to sail a boat from the boatman!"

Liu Jing patted his round head and said with a smile: "Manly man, don't learn about women all day long."

"Thank you for your teaching, my lord, I understand!"

Hou Wuchong stuck out his tongue to the little bun, made a grimace, and ran away in a hurry, even Xu Shu couldn't help laughing, this guy looked young and mature, but he was still a child at heart.

． ． ． ． ． ． ．

The ship traveled for another two days. This morning, Hou Wu on the top of the mast pointed to the distance and shouted: "Here we are, Chaisang City is here!"

Chaisang is the Jiujiang of the later generations. When Liu Biao established the county in the sixth year of Han Gaozu and ruled Jingzhou, it belonged to Jiangxia County. It is located in the southeast of Jiangxia County and is a strategic point in the east of Jingzhou. Making it a battleground for military strategists, every time the Jiangdong army marched westward, they always pointed at Chaisang.

In fact, Chaisang had changed hands several times between Jingzhou and Jiangdong, but most of the time he was under Jingzhou's control.

In the long-term war between Jingzhou and Jiangdong, because Jingzhou was in the place of the Four Wars, the north was threatened by Cao Jun, and the south was fighting against Jiaozhou, so it has been on the defensive in the war with Jiangdong, facing the aggressive offensive of Jiangdong Army again and again.

For this reason, Chaisang City was built extraordinarily tall, three feet high, all built with huge bluestones, wide and thick, and three carriages could drive side by side at the top of the city.

But Chaisang City is not big, the city wall is only fifteen li in circumference, and the population is only more than [-] including the farmers in the nearby villages, which can only be regarded as a middle county.

At present, there are 1000 troops stationed in Chaisang County, and the military and government are unified.

In addition to the Zhou family in Chaisang County, there are two other families, one is the Tao family, the number one merchant in the south of the Yangtze River, and the other is also a half-businessman, the Zhu family, but the Zhu family is more land, Chaisang has always had the Tao family The theory of boats and Zhu Jianiu.

These days, Chaisang County is extremely lively. The old master of the Tao family will celebrate his [-]th birthday, and invitations will be distributed everywhere. Nearly a thousand celebrities from various counties in the south of the Yangtze River will gather in Chaisang.

Even Liu Biao personally wrote a congratulatory letter, and sent his second son Liu Cong to celebrate Mr. Tao's birthday instead, and also to appease the Tao family's surprise in the case of smuggling weapons last time.

Interestingly, Liu Jing, Liu Biao's nephew, also came to Chai Sang to pay his respects, but he came in a private capacity.

All of a sudden, chaisang city is in a state of chaos, dragons and snakes are mixed together, and a big drama is slowly kicking off.
