Li Mengxi reprimanded the dull young man there, saying all he could to say good things, and repeatedly explaining what to do if he didn't clean himself and get the plague.

The young man seemed mute, lowered his head and sobbed with red eyes.

Seeing the young man like this, Li Mengxi became angry. He didn't bully you, so you cry like a hammer.

Just then, footsteps came, "Xi'er."

Liu Bei called.

Li Mengxi looked back and saw that Liu Bei was wet all over and his hair was dripping with water. He looked very unattractive. If Liu Bei shook his head, the water droplets on his hair would definitely be like a drowned dog.

Facing Liu Bei's questioning gaze, "He won't take a shower!" Li Mengxi pointed at the stubborn young man and complained angrily.

Liu Bei laughed, it was rare that Li Mengxi was so angry.

Then, Liu Bei looked at the young man.

Upon seeing this, Liu Bei immediately let out a light sigh and looked a little strange.

Liu Bei looked at the young man again. He lowered his head and grabbed his sleeves with his hands, scratching uneasily. His movements were a little cautious. Liu Bei was a little suspicious, as if he had thought of something. Liu Bei suddenly realized it and suddenly felt relieved.

"Xi'er, did you let the woman bathe in the river?" Liu Bei asked.

"Ah!" Li Mengxi nodded, "Women also have to wash themselves."

"Downstream." Li Mengxi pointed to the distance of the river.

Liu Bei nodded.

He came over, glanced at the young man, pointed, "Let's go downstream!" Liu Bei called to the young man.

Then, Li Mengxi followed Liu Bei without knowing why and sent the boy downstream.

After walking a few miles downstream, a local hero was guarding the river, with his back to the river bank.

At this moment, Li Mengxi suddenly realized that he had neglected to find some women in Zhang Fei's village to help manage the refugees.

It was too immoral for a group of men to guard women bathing in the river.

Fortunately, Liu Xuande's military discipline was actually quite good. He knew how to avoid taboos and knew how to keep his back to the river and not to peek.

Liu Bei brought the young man here. Liu Bei pointed to the river and said, "Ni'er, wash here."

The young man snorted like a mosquito.

At this time, Li Mengxi was extremely shocked. He looked at the "young man" in great surprise. He seemed to understand that this young man was not mute, but turned out to be a girl...

Li Mengxi looked at them, and the girl carefully walked to the water's edge. Seeing that Li Mengxi was still staring, the girl was too embarrassed to walk into the water.

When Liu Bei saw this, he pulled Li Mengxi's head over and said, "Xi'er, let's go!"

After walking far away, Li Mengxi recovered from his surprise. He turned back as he walked, "She is a girl!" Li Mengxi said incredulously.

When Liu Bei heard this, he looked down at Li Mengxi and laughed, "What do you think?"

Why does a woman disguise herself as a man? She is a girl, why should she pretend to be a man?

Li Mengxi couldn't understand it for a while.

And why did Liu Bei guess it right away?

Because, in this era, when people were fleeing famine, women were afraid of encountering bad guys or being harmed, so they stained their faces so that others could not see clearly, and pretended to be men to protect themselves.

As for the girl who mingled among the refugees and kept pretending to be a man. She was afraid of revealing her secrets, so she kept silent and pretended to be mute. She was driven to the river by Xiang Yong to take a bath, and then she could no longer pretend to be exposed.

Then why does this girl pretend to be a boy?

Guessing the reason, it may be that the girl's parents and elders told the girl before they died, "Don't let people know that you are a girl, or someone will harm you." The girl's elders gave worrying advice before they died.

arrive.

Therefore, this girl, who had a worrying ability to survive and did not have much knowledge or courage, kept in mind the words of her parents and elders, carefully concealed her gender, and then arrived in Zhuozhou City safely.

In the chaos of war, human nature cannot withstand scrutiny.

This is what happened on the first day of recruiting refugees.

So, Liu Bei is sitting in the rear, Guan Yu is leading his troops out, and Zhang Fei is intimidating the small people in the city. Today, the refugees have arrived at Zhuozhou City. Zhang Fei should have been waiting under Zhuozhou City, but Zhang Fei is missing. Where did Zhang Fei go?

Zhang Fei is not the only one who is powerful in Zhuozhou.

A few days ago, Liu Bei defrauded the powerful men in the city of a large amount of food, and all the powerful men hated Liu Bei.

How can the powerful men endure this tone? They have long wanted to regain their position. While they are asking people to find connections, they are walking around to communicate with each other. At the same time, they also want to train some soldiers secretly. They want to train the soldiers well and grab all the food.

come over.

But as long as these guys had some courage, when the Yellow Turbans came to Zhuozhou City, if they had the courage and ability, they would have led their troops to fight against the Yellow Turbans.

Now we are busy, just to reach an agreement with each other, more than a dozen large companies, it took nearly ten days to basically complete the coordination.

Just as Li Mengxi expected, even if the big families have the courage to join forces and gather troops to fight against each other, by the time they really have the strength to fight the rebels, the rebels will have already recruited many Yellow Turbans, and their military strength will have swelled.

The powerful are no match for the rebels.

Time is completely on Liu Bei's side.

On the day of the grain grab, if the powerful people turn against each other on the same day, they may still have a chance of winning. The longer the delay, the greater the gap between the two sides.

The powerful men secretly colluded with each other and recruited people everywhere. Finally, they gathered an army of a thousand men and were about to start training for revenge. Who would have thought that on the first day, the powerful men gathered their troops together to prepare for training?

One day the Yellow Turban refugees happened to come to vote.

Liu Bei has more than a thousand refugees to help him. How can the powerful coalition win?

Zhang Fei got the news and heard that the powerful men were also training troops, so he went to the big grain field where they were training troops without being invited. Si Hao did not regard himself as an outsider.

Zhang Fei left and sat on the millstone under the big locust tree as if no one else was around, watching with interest how the powerful men were training their troops.

The powerful men were unhappy that Zhang Fei was watching, but they did not dare to chase him away, so they could only ignore Zhang Fei.

This was not the end, Zhang Fei scoffed at the soldiers recruited by the powerful men.

"Ah! Look at you guys walking away. Is this a fucking formation? If you don't know better, you think it's just herding sheep!" Zhang Fei pointed and laughed.

"Tsk, there's armor! You don't have enough armor. When you go into battle, you won't be able to withstand knives or guns. You'll have to be armored! You poor man!"

When he saw the spears and halberds that the powerful men had obtained from nowhere, Zhang Fei pointed at them excessively and laughed, "The weapons are really good. Children, can you use them? No? Come on, come on, Third Grandpa."

Teach you!"

Zhang Fei was very venomous and scolded the powerful soldiers as worthless.

The faces of the powerful heroes turned blue.

"What are you looking at?" Zhang Fei glared, "For people like you, let alone anything else, fighting with the Yellow Turbans is not a fight!"

In this way, Zhang Fei single-handedly mocked the enemy formation and destroyed the morale of the powerful men to pieces.

The leader, the grain merchant Zhao Er, couldn't stand being mocked by Zhang Fei. He said with a straight face, "Go back, we will practice again tomorrow!" After that, he left.

The first day of military training ended without any problems.

The powerful men dispersed their troops, and Zhang Fei watched them leave.
