Chapter 116: The First Success in Recruitment
As for why Liu Bei asked the children to come over.
When the children were playing in the barn, Liu Bei held the little doll in his arms, and the two men, one large and one small, watched the children playing under the pavilion.
Liu Bei kept talking and laughing, pointing out the playing scenes in the field to the little baby in his arms, making the little baby happy.
Now, you should understand that Liu Bei was very kind to the Li Mengxi brothers before, not all because of Li Mengxi's outstanding resourcefulness.
Now this unknown doll is all alone, and Liu Bei is taking care of it with the same care.
Seeing that the children were afraid of strangers, Liu Bei asked them to come over and play, and he went to a lot of trouble just for this.
Seeing this, Li Mengxi was filled with admiration.
No matter what, Liu Bei had a kind nature, which suited Li Mengxi quite well.
Appetite is the most important thing.
It doesn’t matter whether it suits your taste or not. What do you care about? Territory?
The traverser is extremely bold and capable of swallowing thousands of miles. He is confident of defeating any chassis, no matter how big the chassis is.
Or, look at power?
Laughing, the ancients thought that princes and generals would have peace. As a modern person, if you ask Li Mengxi, he was walking on the road and was walking well when he was suddenly kicked to the ground by an officer and soldier, saying that a powerful person wanted to pass.
Ask Li Mengxi, who was kicked to the ground and had to kneel with his head on the ground, looking at the luxury cars and horses passing by, and the rows of gorgeously dressed warrior beauties, and what Li Mengxi did when he saw powerful people at this time.
What do you think?
Do you suddenly feel that this is what a man should do?
No, more decisive than that.
When the ancients saw powerful people, they also wanted to become powerful people and do tyranny.
As a successor, when I see such a powerful and domineering person, I have only one idea. Even if this person is a dog emperor, you and I are walking. Kick me over and destroy you as a dog!
Therefore, for a person with a rebellious spirit, seeking refuge with a powerful person, the greater the power, the more rules there are, and the greater the constraints on seeking refuge.
The power is overwhelming, Dong Zhuo? Yuan Shu? Yuan Shao?
hehe.
The harmony of the three views is actually the most important thing for travelers when choosing a tree to live in.
Liu Bei coaxed the baby for a long time. This baby was slightly bigger than Xiao Bian and slightly smaller than Li Mengxi. A baby of about six years old soon became less afraid of birth.
The child pointed to the children playing outside and asked, "Can I go and play too?"
The child's voice was weak and he timidly pointed to the children playing outside and asked. He also wanted to go out and play.
Liu Bei smiled and rubbed the child's head with his hand, "Drink the medicine later and you will be cured."
The child let out a cry of disappointment.
After the military doctor boiled the medicine, he brought it over.
Nine times out of ten, Chinese medicine is bitter.
The medicine was very hot. Like an elder, Liu Bei blew the medicine to cool it down. He took a sip of the medicine and found that it was no longer hot before feeding it to the baby.
After drinking the medicine, Liu Bei let the children play.
Li Mengxi finally had time to find out where this child came from and why he was sent back alone.
The cavalryman was neither tall nor handsome, and the horse he was riding was just a brown horse. He was the cavalryman who carried the sick boy alone. His name was Xiahou Zhuan.
Xia Houzhuan told Li Mengxi about the baby.
He said that he had encountered a group of refugees, and then he shouted that he would surrender and that he would have food, and then he saw a woman who came out with her child in her arms.
Then, Xiahou Zhuan said, seeing that the sick baby in the woman's arms was unconscious and it seemed that the illness was serious, he decided to take it upon himself to bring the baby back first and let the military doctor take a look before talking.
Hearing this, Li Mengxi couldn't help but take another look at this person.
I have to say that Xiahou Zhuan does things to his liking.
This is a righteous act for those who are anxious.
So, Li Mengxi stood up and saluted Liu Bei, "Mr. Xuande, our rebel army is now sending troops to recruit the Yellow Turbans. This is also a military matter.
That is to say, military service should be rewarded with merit.
The actions of General Xiahou Zhuan fully demonstrated the benevolence and righteousness of our army. I think, this time, how about remembering that Xiahou Zhuan was the first to recruit people?"
Liu Bei raised his palms and praised, stood up and said in a deep voice, "Xiahou Zhuan obeys the order!"
The commander of the cavalry, Xia Houzhuan, looked excited and immediately knelt down on one knee to obey the order.
"According to what the military advisor said, you will be the first to be recruited.
The recruitment is not over yet, but we must continue our efforts and reward you later!"
Xiahou Zhuan took the order and left.
Li Mengxi and Liu Bei watched Xiahou Zhuan walking and whistling in the wind. They suddenly became full of loyalty and enthusiasm. Xiahou Zhuan walked to the war horse, took off the reins, and got on the horse.
Before leaving, Liu Bei and Li Mengxi bowed to Liu Bei and Li Mengxi from a distance in the pavilion.
Liu Bei and Li Mengxi solemnly clasped their fists in return. One was taller, the other short, and their movements were exactly the same.
It was obviously a matter of merit, but the reward was postponed. For this director to get the first merit, he was so excited that he felt as if a strong man had gone away and never returned.
Li Mengxi and Liu Bei watched as Xiahou Zhuan rode away and disappeared from sight.
Then, the two of them looked at each other and smiled.
In this compartment, Xia Houzhuan sent the child back, then hurriedly followed the original route to meet up with the cavalry team.
On the other side, Xiahou Zhuan's brothers led the 120 surrendered Yellow Turban refugees and hurried back slowly.
It is said that if a soldier is in a raging state, a general will be raging in a den.
In other words, what kind of person is the commander of an army? This army will have some of the commander's personal style.
Before Li Mengxi came, Li Mengxi had no way of knowing whether Liu Bei had severely punished his subordinate Xiang Yong for stealing a chicken from the common people or bullying others.
However, although Xiahou Zhuan's cavalry team had a very bad attitude and sometimes beat people, they did not stab people to death with a single shot in anger.
For an army of Xiangyong's level, Liu Bei's Yijun is very good.
These one hundred and twenty people were on their way in a hurry.
The peasant woman who gave the child to Xiahou Zhuan and took it home first was worried about her child and chased after her again and again to ask questions.
The corps commander was so annoyed by the questions that he couldn't do anything, so he gave the order to speed up the march.
The cavalry has to travel two days, and the infantry has to travel for five or six days.
The Yellow Turban refugees who met Xiahou Zhuan's group were lucky.
The situation of tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans scattered in Zhuo County is still worrying.
Guan Yu's troops encountered the enemy. Due to the lack of cavalry in the army, Guan Yu had to go forward and personally serve as scouts to investigate the enemy's situation.
When I passed through a dense forest, I didn't notice it at first.
But after walking a few hundred steps, the horses came to another woodland, and the sound of horse hooves caused the birds in the forest to fly wildly.
Guan Yu suddenly realized something was wrong. Just as he passed the front forest, the sound of horse hooves came, and the forest was silent, with not a single bird rising.
When things go out of the ordinary, something strange must happen.
Guan Yu beat the horse and then turned back, heading straight into the forest.
When Guan Yu came towards him without anyone arriving, the remnants of the Yellow Turbans hiding in the forest panicked.
Suddenly there was a panic in the forest.
There was a yellow scarf cavalryman who hurriedly pulled an old horse out of the forest. While getting on the horse, he turned back and waved to drive away a half-year-old child who was chasing him.
"Dad!" A child jumped off the ridge and came over with a knife.
"Yao'er! Take your mother and leave!"
The yellow turban cavalryman's face was full of anxiety and he scolded him sternly.
Chapter completed!
