Lu Zhi, a smart man, has made the truth very clear. There are more than 10,000 officers and soldiers in the fight against the Yellow Turbans in Jizhou. They have great connections and are the pillars of the Han Dynasty.

If this army is not under the control of the imperial court, the Han Dynasty will be in danger.

Especially Dong Zhuo, who was both a powerful nobleman in the northwest and a relative, and he was also domineering and must be guarded against.

The imperial court is in danger if it loses its pillar army.

What is more dangerous than this is that Zhu Shi's army falls into Dong Zhuo's hands.

In any case, there are many benefits to using Liu Bei's army to go back and regain military power.

First, the troops and horses can be returned to the hands of the imperial court. With these troops and horses, the Han Dynasty can feel a little more stable.

Both of them can control Dong Zhuo.

Third, Dong Zhuo is incompetent, and if the imperial army humiliates him, he will lose his army and generals, which will be detrimental to the war against the Yellow Turbans. If he can regain military power, the war against the thieves will be safe and smooth.

However, Lu Zhi looked at the four people of Liu Bei kneeling in the tent, his mind was confused, and he felt a deep tiredness.

"Xuande, it's already late at night, and I'm exhausted. Let's talk tomorrow." Lu Zhi asked with a smile, "Xuande, don't you have a place for me to rest in your army?"

Liu Bei stood up hurriedly, "How can there be nothing! Teacher, wait a moment."

Turning around, Liu Bei glanced at Guan, Zhang, and Li Mengxi, "Second brother, third brother, Xi'er, also rest early."

This is driving people away.

Li Mengxi and the other three had no choice but to go out.

Outside the tent, rain was pouring.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Li Mengxi were walking and chatting. During the conversation, Zhang Fei complained that Lu Zhi was unhappy.

"Third brother, be careful what you say." Guan Yu reminded him and looked back.

After all, Lu Zhi is the elder brother's teacher, and it is not good to speak ill of people behind their backs.

Lu Zhizhan was worried about looking forward and backward, but Li Mengxi could understand.

After all, it was the ancients who asked Lu Zhi to take the risk. It is normal for Lu Zhi to be undecided.

Li Mengxi was not sure whether Lu Zhi was willing to go back and seize military power. It was possible whether he was willing or not.

After walking for a while, Zhang Fei invited Guan Yu and Li Mengxi to continue eating meat and drinking wine.

Speaking of today's banquet, Liu Bei didn't let Guan and Zhang come to accompany him. It was because Liu Bei was taking care of Lu Zhi and thought that drinking and talking would delay the meal, so he deliberately didn't let Guan and Zhang come. He let Lu Zhi eat well first, and then called Guan and Zhang.

In the tent, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Li Mengxi entered the tent. "Brother!" The younger brother, who was gnawing on the chicken legs, immediately called Li Mengxi.

There was no one else in the tent, only Xiao Zhuan and Tian Bu who helped take care of Xiao Zhuan.

Xiao Bian gnawed at the chicken legs happily, while Tian Bu's hands were empty.

"Tian Bu, you can eat it too," Li Mengxi said.

"I've eaten, I've eaten." Tian Bu smiled.

On the side, Guan Yu picked up the fat chicken, tore half of it into pieces, and handed it to Tian Bu, "Here, pick it up. You are so happy."

Guan Yu gave in, and Tian Bu had no choice but to pick up the chicken and eat it.

Tian Bu was still restrained. After he finished his portion, he felt embarrassed to eat. He had to ask Guan Yu to let him eat before he ate.

Tian Bu's behavior is normal. There is hierarchy in the army. Guan and Zhang are both generals. He, Tian Bu, is a small medical officer. They drink wine and eat meat together. Tian Bu is extremely restrained.

"Come on, Tian Bu, do it!"

Guan Yu offered wine to Tian Bu, and Tian Bu quickly picked up the bowl in greeting.

Guan and Zhang have different personalities.

Guan Yu frequently toasted to Tian Bu.

Zhang Fei ate and drank on his own without taking care of Tian Bu.

Because it was a cloudy day, it got dark early, and now it was getting dark, and it was almost dark.

On the other side, Liu Bei gave up the Chinese army's tent, brought his own bedding, and carefully made Lu Zhi's bed.

"Xuande, you go to sleep, you are not busy anymore. I will sleep too." Lu Zhi said in a calm tone.

Liu Bei, who still had something to say, heard what Master Lu said, so he had to bow his hands and say, "Teacher, take a rest early. Call me if you need anything."

After that, he exited the tent and closed the tent door.

After Liu Bei left, Lu Zhi stood there for a long time, "Alas." Lu Zhi let out a long sigh.

Lying on the bed, half-covered by the quilt, Lu Zhi stared at the tent in trance, until the tent became dark and night fell completely. Late at night, Lu Zhi tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

Lu Zhi became more and more confused about the matter of borrowing Liu Bei's military power to regain military power, and could not make up his mind for a long time.

Spend the night.

The next day, Lu Zhi woke up to the sound of roosters crowing.

When I opened my eyes, it was still dark in the tent.

The cock crows and clucks, one after another.

In this half-awake and half-drowsy moment, I suddenly felt as if I was at home.

"Where did the cockcrow come from?" Lu Zhi was surprised.

It is said that since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, since Lu Zhi led the army to conquer, he traveled to various places for several months. On the way, he saw that the people's livelihood was in decline, and he had not heard the rooster crow for a long time.

But in Liu Bei's army, the rooster crows loudly.

Feeling strange, Lu Zhi got dressed, got up, and followed the crowing of the cock.

After a while, Lu Zhi came to a motorcade.

Lu Zhi saw several chicken and duck carts. The carts were filled with wooden cages filled with chickens and ducks.

Next to the car, there was a farmer carrying a basket and a spoon, putting duck food into the cage.

Even far away, Lu Zhi could smell the fishy smell unique to rotting fish.

"Are there fish intestines in the basket?" Lu Zhi asked.

The farmer who was feeding the chickens and ducks looked back and saw Lu Zhi. He was wearing a big cloak and his attire did not look like that of a farmer. He just thought that Lu Zhi was one of the teachers.

"It's fish intestines." The farmer replied, then turned around and continued working, "There are also fish gills, fish bones, and snail shells."

The farmer who was feeding the chickens and ducks was a chatterbox, and he kept chattering, "But there is no swim bladder."

Lu Zhi was curious, "Why is there no swim bladder?"

"I heard that the fish bladder has boiled into glue," the farmer replied.

Lu Zhi immediately remembered that isinglass can be used to make arrows. Yesterday, he heard from Liu Bei that the army's fishing team could catch two thousand kilograms of fish in one night, so they must have used fish maws to boil the glue.

It seems that Liu Bei managed the army well and could even make his own arrows.

Lu Zhi could imagine that the purpose of isinglass is to make arrows.

In ancient times, craftsmen were looked down upon. A few people would deliberately understand the technical details. Lu Zhi was also not familiar with technology. It would be good to think that isinglass is used to stick arrow feathers.

Unexpectedly, what Min Fu said next made Lu Zhi surprised again.

"There is a boat over there, can you see it?" The farmer pointed it out to Lu Zhi, "The boats on the car over there are made of boiled glue."

Lu Zhi looked along what he was pointing and saw, a little further away, some small boat-like things on the ground beside the motorcade.

Lu Zhi, full of curiosity, walked quickly.

This is the convoy of the fish camp. Because the troops were stationed yesterday, something unexpected happened. The fish team did not go out to fish, and the osprey boats were left in the camp.

As he got closer, Lu Zhi saw a small boat with a strange hull.

This small boat actually has two cabins connected together, and the cabin is curved like a soap locust shape.

There was nothing unique about the boat, except that it was so small that even young Lu Zhi doubted whether it could carry people.

He kicked the osprey boat's feet with his feet, causing the boat to clank.

From the opposite side of the motorcade, a person turned around and looked over.

A rough man was dissatisfied and asked, "Why are you kicking my boat?"

Lu Zhi didn't take it seriously, smiled and arched his hand towards the man.

"Little brother, can this boat be launched into the water?" Lu Zhi asked.

The man glanced at Lu Zhi and said angrily, "They say it's a boat, but it can't be launched into the water?"

Lu Zhi asked again, "I see that you have quite a few small boats like this in your army. May I ask, what is this boat used for? Is it for crossing water? Is it for transporting troops?"

The man stared and asked, "What about crossing the water to transport troops? Where did these people come from?"
