Somewhere in the camp, Liu Bei found Guan Yu and asked him what was causing the disturbance in the camp.

"Hey!" Guan Yu smiled, "Just now Xi'er said that he found a warrior who happened to be holding a sword for me. Isn't this a joke? Guan has the hand, why do you need someone else to carry the sword?"

Liu Bei understood what Guan Yu said.

"Perhaps... Xi'er has found a talent and wants to introduce him to you. Second brother, why shouldn't he do it?"

Guan Yu looked down on Zhou Cang. To be precise, Guan Yu looked down on all the Yellow Turban thieves.

This time is different from when Guan Yu passed five passes and killed six generals. When Guan Yu passed five passes, he had to escort Liu Bei's family scrolls, and there were many unpredictable difficulties and obstacles ahead. Moreover, at this time, Guan Yu was single and weak.

In this critical situation, when he met Zhou Cang, Zhou Cang ignored the danger and was willing to abandon his village and risk his life to accompany him. For Guan Yu, this situation was a timely help. How could Guan Yu not dare to be moved? How could he not sigh?

Zhou Cang is loyal?

But things are different now. Guan Yu met Zhou Cang not on the way through the Five Passes, but when there was nothing going on. Zhou Cang was not the master of the village, but an ordinary soldier in the Zhuozhou Rebel Army.

The two situations were very different, so Guan Yu could not think highly of Zhou Cang.

Looking down on Zhou Cang, Guan Yu didn't say clearly that he looked down on him. He only said that there was no shortage of men under his command and there was no need to add more.

Liu Bei couldn't be more familiar with Guan Yu. Liu Bei knew that Guan Yu had always been cold and arrogant. He was lying when he said he had no shortage of people. He must have looked down upon people.

Guan Yu's judgment is nothing more than Guan Yu's judgment on people he doesn't like, but this Zhou Cang was chosen by Xi'er, and Liu Bei believed in Xi'er's judgment even more.

Liu Bei was thinking whether he should go to see this [Hercules] camp and see what kind of person Zhou Cang was.

Just then, Li Mengxi came in a hurry.

“Mr.

Liu Bei looked at Li Mengxi who was bringing people over, and couldn't help but look at Guan Yu. The two of them smiled knowingly.

The one who came with Li Mengxi was Liao Hua. There were no generals in Shu, and the Liao Hua who could be the vanguard lived from the Yellow Turban Rebellion to the late Three Kingdoms, to Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, and to the Liao Hua of Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition.

Li Mengxi enthusiastically introduced Liao Hua to Liu Bei and Guan Yu. Liu Bei cooperated very well with Li Mengxi. He warmly stepped forward and took Liao Hua's hand, asking questions for a long time. Liao Hua was flattered by his enthusiasm.

When it comes to interpersonal negotiation, Liu Bei is much better than Li Mengxi.

Liu Bei saw that Li Mengxi wanted to reuse Liao Hua, so he asked Guan Yu, "How about Yun Chang, Yuan Jian (Liao Hua, courtesy name Yuan Jian) ​​is put under your command?"

What Liu Bei said made Guan Yu unable to accept it.

Liu Guan, Zhang and Li Mengxi were each in charge of their own affairs, and Guan Yu was mainly in charge of the military affairs. Liao Hua would let his subordinates do whatever he said. Liao Hua was already serving as the commander of the cavalry.

When Guan Yu hesitated how to reply.

"General Liao Hua is very talented as a vanguard. I think how about letting General Liao Hua be the vanguard?"

Guan Yu thought about it, when asking for the Yellow Turban, most of the scouts and vanguards were led by his third brother Yide, but the scouts often sent out more than a dozen teams, and only Yide could not control them. It would be good to let Liao Hua be the vanguard.

So Guan Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at Liao Hua. Like Li Mengxi, Guan Yu looked at a person's physique first. Guan Yu looked him up and down and saw that Liao Hua looked Zhou Zheng. He was still young. He also had the appearance of a wasp's waist and ape's arms. He looked strong and strong.

appearance.

Guan Yu nodded and said to Liao Hua, "That's good. You will be the vanguard officer of our army and temporarily serve as General Zhang Fei's deputy."

This was regarded as a promotion, and he had surpassed other old Yellow Turbans. Liao Hua was very happy and hurriedly said that he would not do his best to serve his orders.

Li Mengxi thought about Liao Hua's arrangement. Since when Liao Hua reaches the top, he will be a pioneer general in Shuzhong. Although Li Mengxi doesn't know what kind of ability is needed to hold the position of pioneer, since Liao Hua can be

Pioneer, that means that Liao Hua has some potential as a pioneer.

Therefore, it is necessary to cultivate at a designated location.

Within one day, Li Mengxi found two famous generals among the Three Kingdoms. Li Mengxi was very proud of himself.

After Liao Hua returned, Liu Bei looked at Li Mengxi who looked excited and hesitated to speak.

"Xi'er." Liu Bei called.

"Ah?" Li Mengxi looked up.

Liu Bei looked at Li Mengxi with a smile and asked with a smile, "There is Zhou Cang in front of you and Liao Hua in the back. You value these two people so much. Do they have any talents?"

"Of course!" Li Mengxi nodded affirmatively, "Given time, these two will definitely become the backbone of our army!"

"That's good." Liu Bei smiled and nodded, "It's just that this matter seems a little inappropriate."

Li Mengxi was suddenly stunned. He frowned and asked quickly, "What's wrong?"

"According to the method of appeasement, all the Yellow Turbans who are generals will be packed into the cavalry for placement.

This is true for all the old Yellow Turban generals, but Xi'er you only promoted Zhou Cang Liao Hua. Do these two people have military merit? How can they have military merit? Since they have no military merit, why do you promote these two people alone?

Is this fair? Is it appropriate? Don’t the other old people in the Yellow Turbans feel resentful?

This is only one and the other two. I know it from the war. Due to the lack of military resources, our army has not yet discussed the merits and rewards. Our soldiers have not yet discussed the merits. The old people of the Yellow Turbans have promoted them first. Wouldn’t it be a shame to everyone?

Heart?"

Li Mengxi looked at Liu Bei in astonishment, then he frowned and began to think seriously.

(Did I do this wrong? Shouldn’t Zhou Cang and Liao Hua be promoted?) Li Mengxi thought to himself.

If you think about it seriously, it seems that it is indeed not very fair, indeed very unfair.

Why should Zhou Cang and Liao Hua be promoted first? They were just two well-known military generals during the Three Kingdoms period. That's all. Because they became famous in the future, they felt that these two people must be more important than others. But, is this really the case? Are Zhou Cang and Liao Hua really two people?

, far superior to other Yellow Turban generals?

I don’t know. Not necessarily.

In troubled times, those who survive are not all due to their abilities.

For example, Hua Xiong, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou all fell first, while Zhou Cang and Liao Hua were not as numerous as Hua Xiong and Wen Chou, but they survived for a long time. Similar to this, let's ask the hundreds of thousands of people in the Yellow Turban Zhang Jiao Department

, is there really no one who is more talented than Zhou Cang and Liao Hua, but died long before Zhou Cang and Liao Hua and declared that he has not appeared in the world? It is possible that there is.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Therefore, Zhou Cang Liao Hua is not necessarily the most outstanding person among the old Yellow Turban generals.

Li Mengxi later realized that the best way to deal with Zhou Cang and Liao Hua was not to give any special treatment. Treat Zhou Cang and Liao Hua just as you would treat other old Yellow Turban generals. As long as fairness and justice are guaranteed, then as long as

Zhou Cang and Liao Hua are capable and will definitely stand out.

On the contrary, if Zhou Cang and Liao Hua failed to stand out, what does that mean? It means that Zhou Cang and Liao Hua are not as good as other Yellow Turban generals at all, and it means that there are people more worthy of training.

When re-employing talents, they should be selected in a fair and just manner in accordance with the Basic Law, and should not be selected based on likes and dislikes.

I would like to ask, whether it is Zhou Cang or Liao Hua, can we see the strength of the two men? I haven’t seen it, so I don’t know if the strength of these two men is the top among the Yellow Turban generals.

Zhou Cang is the commander of the Yellow Turban Warriors, and he is considered a special talent. However, Zhou Cang is not the only commander of the Yellow Turban Warriors. How can we be sure that Zhou Cang must be the most suitable leader?

Li Mengxi knew very well that he had made a major mistake and should not judge people by their names. In the future, even if he, Zhao Zilong, came, he would have to be treated as normal and put into a group of generals to compete fairly. If he, Zhao Zilong, could even compete with ordinary generals

However, why do you conclude that Zhao Zilong will be an unparalleled general?

Li Mengxi looked at Liu Bei with a serious look on his face, "What should we do now? People have been promoted, how can we make up for it? We can't remove the officials anymore, right?"

Li Mengxi was at his wits end.

Liu Bei thought for a while and said, "It's not too late to make up for it. Since we have already promoted Liao Hua in Zhoucang, let's simply discuss the merits of the whole army tomorrow."

This is the remedy Liu Bei said.

——

The next day, outside the south gate of Julu City, flags were fluttering, countless cloths and silks were piled up, people and horses lined up to clean up, and the momentum was huge.

On that day, there was a big discussion about merit and rewards in the army.

This is the most important military merit calculation since the Yellow Turban Zhang Jiao tribe was defeated and the Yellow Turban war was over. After all, Zhang Jiao tribe is gone and the war is over. There will be no major wars in the next few years. If we fail to reward them this time, we will

If we are able to gain a foothold, it will be even more difficult to gain a foothold in the military in the future.

When discussing the merits, the first merit was attributed to the military advisor Li Mengxi, the first merit was attributed to the second general Guan Yu, and the first merit was attributed to the third general Zhang Fei. Each of these first merits was rewarded with hundreds of coins, and the whole army was convinced.

Also, those who conquered the city first and those who survived the battle were also rewarded with two hundred pieces of money, including a lot of cloth, money and grain. Because the military resources were scarce, the money had to be kept to buy grain. The grain was also insufficient, so it was necessary to keep it.

Support, care, reward more with cloth and less with grain, and others with military coupons, which will be distributed in the future.

Also, those who are injured and disabled due to war, and those who are injured but not disabled, are promoted to military positions and generously rewarded with cloth, silk, money and food. Those who are injured and disabled are not promoted to military positions, and the rewards of money and food are twice as generous.

Also, for those who have the merit of beheading, each head will be rewarded with two pieces of cloth and thirty guan of money.

Military merits continued to be rewarded, dozens of captains were added to the army, and hundreds of officers were promoted.

At the end, Liu Bei solemnly said to the entire army, "Xia Houzhuan, who stayed in the field in Zhuozhou, will be specially awarded with second-class military merit, promoted to the first class, and rewarded with five pieces of cloth and eighty pieces of money."

Liu Bei's move made Li Mengxi extremely surprised.

Liu Bei suddenly mentioned Xiahou Zhuan and other field officers who were far away in Zhuozhou, and Li Mengxi was very puzzled.

Then, Li Mengxi understood and began to admire Liu Bei.

Li Mengxi himself had forgotten about Xia Houzhuan's group of people who stayed behind, but Liu Bei still remembered it and wanted to give military merit to those who stayed behind.

Liu Bei still handled things safely and without leakage.

Although the people who stayed behind in Zhuozhou did not fight in battle, they had no merit but still had a lot of hard work, so they were awarded second-class military merit, which was very appropriate.

Li Mengxi learned another important point. The reward for military merit should not only be based on the head, but also on the fighting for attacking the city. People who are responsible for transporting grain and grass have to work very hard day and night. Military merit must be given to them in terms of size, and they are also responsible for building bridges.

Even though one of the shipbuilders was not beheaded, going down the river to build a bridge in the middle of winter was no easier than fighting, and even the slightest carelessness could lead to death.
