Zhang Jiao is not a good thing!

Liu Cang specifically revealed to him about his taro cultivation, and he really wanted to use his words to gain another reputation among the refugee people.

Well, we are just such philistines.

As a result, despite Zhang Jiao's boastful words, after one night, until both parties broke up, Liu Cang's karma only increased by five points.

Karma 847, what do these five points of karma represent? It means that Zhang Jiaohe had no intention of publicizing Liu Cang's righteous act of "worrying for the people".

It's hard to believe that he would also give orders to those around him last night to keep silent.

Liu Cang said, Zhang Jiao is really not a good person!

Last night, due to Liu Cang's "intermittent convulsions" and Cai Yong's failure to cooperate with Zhang Jiao, the two parties ultimately did not have any in-depth exchanges. The night passed without any surprises, and both parties went their separate ways early in the morning.

Liu Cang didn't stab Zhang Jiao to death, and Zhang Jiao didn't bother Liu Cang. Taiping Road was not yet the Yellow Turban Army in the future. Liu Cang, instead of stabbing Zhang Jiao for shame, might as well spend more time thinking about Zhang Rang.

really.

The encounter with Zhang Jiao became a trivial matter on the road, and Liu Cang and his party embarked on the journey to Luoyang again.

Traveling by carriage and horse is not as fast as riding alone. When the speed is slower, dozens of horses need to be replenished along the way.

When Liu Cang and others stopped for the first time in a county town in Jizhou to replenish supplies, the eunuch's statement that there would be "support" along the way was also confirmed.

And Liu Cang is really experienced. Today's Zhang Rang is really awesome. He has power and is not scary. But he who dares to use it indiscriminately is awesome.

The county magistrate welcomed him and sent him various supplies. The county magistrate, who was said to be a descendant of a certain family in Jingzhou, even gave Liu Cang a group of soldiers to serve as his troops to prevent chaos along the way.

There is no shortage of war horse armor and weapons. The standard armament is a gift, not a loan. It is a private soldier, not an official army.

If it was just such a county magistrate, no matter where Liu Cang passed, no matter whether it was a county or a county town, there would always be some descendants of a certain family who were in official positions to send food and troops to Liu Cang.

Yes, I feel like I can't afford it. No, the visitor implies that these people can be dismissed at any time, and all the war equipment they bring are public property.

These gifts without soldiers or people are more like gifts of war horses and armaments in disguise.

Either they were county officials or inconspicuous civil servants, and most of the people who came were descendants of some obscure family, but anyway, the so-called support never stopped.

I went out with twenty songs, but before I finished my journey to Jizhou, the accompanying cavalry had already collected two hundred and one songs. Not to mention Liu Cang, Cai Yong was a little flustered.

Zhang Rang, do you want to be so cruel?

Most of the people who supported Liu Cang along the way kept a low profile, but when the low-keys gathered together again and again, it was really shocking.

Originally, Liu Cang was worried that Zhang Rang's doing such a thing would damage Cai Yong's reputation. But these people seemed not to know the existence of Cai Yong at all. Cai Yong was sitting in the car. These people only asked Miss Zhang's family, and even asked about Cai Yong.

Liu Cang had a lot to deal with.

Zhang Xiu Niang was flustered. Liu Cang was confused and asked Cai Yong to discuss what Zhang Rang meant by doing this.

Call him a protest, that's a bit like it. But compared to ignoring Cai Yong, if Cai Yong is pulled out, it will obviously have a greater impact on Cai Yong's reputation.

After all, for people like Cai Yong, it is almost a matter of course that they should oppose the eunuch group. The crazy overtures of the eunuch leader are not a good thing.

Cai Yong was also a little confused about Zhang Rang's abnormal behavior. In the end, he could only conclude that Zhang Rang cared about family ties and spoke up for Zhang Xiu Niang, but he didn't want Zhang Xiu Niang to have a hard time with Liu Cang.

Zhang Xiu Niang felt grateful that Cai Yong would not do anything to provoke other people's affection. But like Liu Cang, Cai Yong also felt that this was inconsistent with Zhang Rang's character.

When Jizhou entered Yanzhou, it seemed that the officials in Yanzhou were more generous than those in Jizhou. They didn't have any serious property, but they were more young and strong. They were given horses and weapons, and they were given as gifts for life and death.

No? The children of each family have made it clear that they should be disbanded on the spot or become refugees. Anyway, we can't afford to support them here.

Faced with these knights who had no soldiers and no people, and faced with their hopeful looks, Liu Cang was a little greedy for a while and finally took them under his wing.

Only a small number of these private soldiers actually have military experience, and the rest are simply armed refugees.

When entering the territory of Yuzhou from Yanzhou, Liu Cang had eighty carts, five hundred cavalry, and five hundred infantry.

At this point, both Liu Cang and Cai Yong had somewhat come to their senses, but they no longer dared to accept people, let alone deport them. Even if you killed them on the spot, Liu Cang would not accept them.

If he continues to collect this, he might be able to pull out a battalion of soldiers as soon as he reaches Luoyang.

How much is a battalion? The base is two thousand, and the leader can be like a school captain.

Thousands of private soldiers, chariots and horses accompanied him. Even Cai Yong could not keep up with this number.

Under normal circumstances, whether Liu Cang would be taken down as a traitor or not, the annual oral tax for these thousands of private soldiers alone would be more than 400,000 yuan. This does not include the livestock tax and property taxes that the cavalry needs to pay to plow horses and war horses.

Tax.

Liu Cang has lived for eighteen years now. It's hard to say whether his entire property is worth 400,000 yuan. Under normal circumstances, this would not be called a strong army, and there would be no hope of salvation.

There was no need for face or reputation. Liu Cang felt guilty when he thought about having to take care of these people's food and drink in the future. Liu Cang found various reasons to go around the city.

It is right for aristocratic families to conceal their population, but there must be a limit. Otherwise, they will be ignorant of what is being said. If it loses its importance, they will be betrayed and prosecuted by the officials. They deserve it and no one will care.

Without Zhang Rang, these more than a thousand private soldiers would have been Cai Yong's limit. Thanks to the jade beads Zhang Feng sent home earlier, Liu Cang still had some confidence to support these people.

A team of thousands of people lined up in an orderly manner, and among these thousands of people there were also leaders.

The first twenty people who left Zhuoxian County with Liu Cang became the team leaders in a daze.

After passing another mountain col, the road ahead was flat. Liu Cang rode his horse in a roundabout way, holding a waning moon halberd. While patrolling, he spotted a strong man wearing iron armor. That man was the leader of the army appointed by Liu Cang to lead the management team.

"General Pan Feng, you need to pay more attention to the physical strength of the infantry." Liu Cang rode his horse and raised his halberd, approaching the strong man. As he spoke, he saw the strong man trembled as if frightened.

"Sir, please call me Old Pan. How dare Pan Feng be called a general?" The eyes of the strong man whom Liu Cang called Pan Feng were a little erratic. He avoided Liu Cang's gaze and looked back from time to time, as if after checking.

The situation of the soldiers in the team.

Well, Liu Cang collected a lot of private soldiers here and there, and there were some surprises among them.

For example, the man in front of me has a black and brown horse under his crotch, and is holding a long-handled mountain ax. Although he has no piercing armor, he is also wearing half-length iron armor with a defense far beyond that of ordinary soldiers.

He is tall and strong, with thick eyebrows and deep eyes, a cold temperament, and a majestic face.

But it was the legendary unparalleled general Pan Feng, well, the one who was beheaded by Hua Xiong again...

This man has a majestic temperament, unusual weapons, and is also wearing iron armor. When he was first sent here, Liu Cang could see his unique and arrogant air at a glance.

An attribute observation was thrown at him, and it turned out that good guy, Pan Feng, had a physique of 83/180. Although his karma was just over 100 and his qualifications were only at the general level, Liu Cang was convinced that this guy would be a famous unparalleled general in later generations.

Liu Cang said nothing more and entrusted him with the important task of directly promoting the commander of the entire army to help him coordinate the leadership of his own team.

At this time, Pan Feng secretly looked at the 'Master of Ming' whom he once naively thought of, and then looked at the gap-filled ax blade in his hand. This man was not like a good man. Every time he called him "General" affectionately, he never called him "General".

Good thing!!!

Either I would spar with him, or I would spar with him. Every time I practice, my hands and feet are weak. Don’t we, Pan Feng, not want to lose face?!

"General Pan has the qualifications to be a fierce general, how can he be so humble? Come on, the terrain here is flat, let's make a few moves." Liu Cang looked at Pan Feng with a face filled with joy, shook his hand with the Waning Moon Euphorbia, and said kindly.

Well, after eating earlier, my physical condition increased a bit, so I just had a try with Pan Feng to see if it can be added to the actual physical condition.
