Chapter VIII Recruiting Soldiers
A month flies by like a white horse passing by, and ends in the blink of an eye with the sunset and sunrise.
After a month of convening the old tribe and the remaining Yellow Turban tribes, about 10,000 people came to join us.
At this time, the chess and card school captain came in and reported: "General Lu, after a month of recruiting troops and horses, we now have two thousand cavalry, one thousand of which are your former Xiliang cavalry, and more than five thousand infantry, of which five hundred are
The camp that fell into the camp of the former General Gao also included more than 5,000 Yellow Turban infantrymen."
Lu Bu listened to these numbers with a smile on his face.
"You go down first."
Gao Shun stood up first and said: "Brother, it seems that our comeback is not far away."
Nie Zefeng stood up and said seriously: "Brother, second brother, we can't be complacent now. There are few people around Mangdang Mountain. We can survive recently. As time goes by, food and grass will be our biggest problem, not to mention weapons and utensils...
…”
Lu Bu kept nodding his head as he listened, and Gao Shun also thought he was impressed.
At this time, the chess and card captain ran in again and said, "Report, general, there is an old member of the Yellow Turbans outside the door, calling himself Zhou Cang, leading about a thousand people to surrender."
When Nie Zefeng heard about Zhou Cang, he realized that Zhou Cang would be Guan Yu's future adjutant. He was a useful general and should not be missed.
Gao Shunze took the lead and said: "Brother, our food and grass may not be able to support these people, unless we are capturing some cities!"
Lu Bu also hesitated, and Nie Zefeng immediately began to speak impassionedly: "Brother, I think if we reject these old Yellow Turbans this time, will there be any old Yellow Turbans who will join us in the future? What should we think of the old Yellow Turbans who have joined us now? Now we have already
It's January, and I've calculated that our food and grass can only last for a month, so we should set off for Wancheng now."
Lu Bu finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, third brother, I will listen to you this time."
"Brother, I would like to welcome you personally."
"Go ahead."
Nie Zefeng turned around and left the tent and walked outside the village gate. Nie Zefeng saw that some of the yellow scarf soldiers were sitting, some were standing, some were leaning against the wall, and some generals were on horses, but there was one general who kept
He was spinning around under the horse and cursing.
"Master Fang, I have long heard that Lu Bu is a villain and a domestic slave with the third surname. Is he going to take him in or not?"
"I said General Pei, can you be quiet for a while?"
Nie Zefeng had actually seen them a long time ago. He hid behind the village gate for a while before coming out and saying with a smile: "Everyone, please wait, please wait. I am here to apologize to you on behalf of General Lu."
A big man with a black face immediately clasped his fists and said: "May I ask who the general is? Will the village accept us?"
The captain's chess and card officer behind me said sternly: "This is our General Lu's third brother, General Nie."
When everyone heard that it was Lu Bu's third brother, they immediately became rude.
"See the three generals, see the three generals."
"Brothers, since we are able to see each other even though we are thousands of miles apart, we are brothers. For this friendship with you, I would like to thank you. Let's hurry up and enter the stronghold."
These began to enter the stronghold one after another. As soon as they arrived at the stronghold, Nie Zefeng told his men: "Here are the people coming. Prepare good wine and meat to help these brothers wash away the dust."
At this time, the black-faced man immediately bowed and said disrespectfully: "Little Zhou Cang thanked the general. I have voted for several lords. They were all arrogant and rude. Only you are informal and can respect us. Zhou Cang thanks you again here."
