Chapter 26
After Guan Yu was impressed that night, Liu He led him to meet everyone, and everyone entered Zhangzhuang, sang with wine and sang happily.
The maid Zhang gave each person a cup of ear, took a gourd, scooped wine and poured it into pieces. The meat and wine were fragrant, but it had not yet started, and it was so intoxicating that people were intoxicated.
Zhang Fei couldn't wait, picked up his ear cup and drank it all, and said, "Good wine! Good wine!"
After fighting for the gourd, I poured it on myself and still drank it all in one drink. In this way, I drank three cups in a row before I slowed down.
"I haven't been so happy for a long time. Yun Chang is good at martial arts! I'm so comfortable. I respect you!" Zhang Fei said and drank a few more glasses.
It was not that Zhang Fei was not alone and drank alone. It was not that he was not blamed. At that time, the people lived a difficult life, and those who were poor did not eat enough food, and those who were better did not usually get drunk or meat. At most, they were in the wax, and during the festival, they worked hard to fight wine. Although Zhang Fei's family had little wealth, they did not fall from the sky. The meat of slaughtering pigs was sold very much. Although they could guarantee two meals a day, they were not common.
Guan Yu said with a serious expression: "Zhang Jun should know the superiority and inferiority of the superiors and subordinates. Lord Xu Jun and Huang Jun are at the table. You are the master. You should respect the guests as your master. How can you only care about yourself?" He picked up his ear cup, leaned on the table, toasted Liu He, and said, "I wish the lord to clear the border chaos and climb to the prefectures and counties as soon as possible."
Liu He held the cup with his right hand, held the left sleeve outside the cup, and returned the gift to Guan Yu: "Yun Chang is in love."
Guan Yu took the lead, and everyone raised their glasses together, all of them came to the table and said, "I wish the lord to clear the border chaos and climb to the prefectures and counties as soon as possible."
Liu He smiled and said, "Drinke with you!"
Everyone drank it all in one go.
After three cups and two cups, Liu He said: "Young Master He studied with his father, admired the heroic spirit of ancient times, and often had the ambition of traveling around the world and making friends with heroes from all over the world. After coming to Zhuo County, he met all the lords and realized that there were heroes in the grass. Thanks to you, you will be happy to be with me."
Everyone said, "We are like a flock of birds returning to the forest, and they are worthy of their place."
Liu He put his sword on his knee, pulled out a piece, and sang softly: "The scenery is different from autumn, and the sounds are heard from all sides. A cup of turbid wine is thousands of miles away, and the swallows are still unstoppable. The Qiangguan is covered with frost. Who would like to believe that? The Great Wall will never fall, the Yellow River will surging, and the beautiful mountains and rivers are spreading. I asked my country how it looks like a disease. Break the bloody road, wave your hand! If you want to work hard to revive the country, how can the country be trampled again? Yuan Jia's father attacked Hu... "
Liu He looked around and said with a hint of gratitude: "During the Yuan Jia Year of Emperor Xiaohuan, all the Qiangs in Liangzhou rebelled. He entered Yizhou in the south, Hanzhong, and Sanfu in the east, and was in trouble. He was a great disaster for the people. The people of our great Han people died because of the death of the county and state soldiers. The court issued a great military service to the county and state, and ordered them to go to the battle to fight with the thieves. Yide's grandfather was on the list of conscripts that year and also went to the border to kill the thieves with arrows. From then on until now, in the past thirty years, the Qiang people and Xianbei people have been together.
Hu Zong attacked my border almost every year, plundered my wealth and killed my people, which was a great trouble for our Han family. The cruelty of the Qiang and the great evil of the Hu people were endless. Chen Zi of the former Han Dynasty said: "Those who violated the powerful Han Dynasty in a wise way will be punished even if they are far away." Although scholars also had the wish to punish the country for heaven and destroy the great evil for the people. You are all heroes, and you are all heroes of our Han. How can a real man be invisible among the wild? Men should be like Ban Dingyuan and be granted the title of marquis at the border!"
Zhang Fei said in a drink: "Lord! Tomorrow, I will spend all my family wealth and recruit heroes, and follow the lord to the border to kill Hu!"
After hearing this, Liu Bei pulled out his sword completely, inserted it on the ground beside the couch, holding the handle of the knife, and said passionately: "That's right! Ma Fubo once said: 'If a man dies in the border, he is buried in horse leather and is buried in a body, how can he die in bed and in his hands?'? The story of Guan Ying, the former marquis of Yingyin, Han. Guan Ying is like me, a man who sells carvings and is named Wanhu Marquis because of his bravery. Can't I do what he can do?"
One of them is Ban Dingyuan, another of them is Chen Tang, and the other is Fenghou, and the Marquis of Guanying Wanhu. Everyone here is a man who is polite and brave and rude, and is flirting with passion by Liu He.
Guan Yu sat down with his arms and shouted loudly: "Of course we can do what he can do!"
No one was willing to show weakness in front of others, and they all shouted: "We all want to go to the border to kill the thief! A man should die in the border, and be buried in a horse and corpse."
"I did not misunderstand you. You are all men of our great men! I miss the land of Yanzhao, and there are many generous people. You are worthy of the name of your ancestors." Liu He stood up suddenly and praised everyone happily. Then he changed his subject, "However, although we are all men, although we are worthy of our ancestors, and although we all have the intention of serving the country and killing thieves, we cannot just go there."
“Why?”
"Yunchang, although you are both brave and brave, you are not a good military formation. War is a bad thing. If you go to battle rashly, it will be unbeautiful, and you will be afraid that you will lose your reputation. We are going to kill the thieves and serve the country in order to be a marquis, not to die. If you have this ambition, I am willing to use military tactics to train the recruitment of tomorrow, how about it?"
"Just follow the lord's arrangement."
Liu He put the sword in his hand and stood up in front of everyone, looking around and saw Xu Rong, Huang Zhong, Liu Bei, Liu Xiu, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu and others, as well as every clique in the courtyard, all looked passionate. He didn't feel that he was secretly happy, and he was happy that his own plan was sold.
It should be noted that these gentlemen are different from those ordinary soldiers. They are all unruly and unwilling to discipline. If there is no reason to really not train them, the marching formations will not be restricted.
The next day, Zhang Fei sold his family's capital to recruit, and Zou Jing, Liu Bei and others spread the news that the gentlemen, heroes and evil young men from far and near the villages came to vote.
Liu He came without any rejection. No matter what purpose he was for, he would accept it as long as he was willing to join his disciples. There is only one thing: if he can't stand the pain of training, he would be sorry. For the sake of reputation, he would not drive away those lazy people, but instead offered money, treat them with food and drink, and then sent them with respect. Everyone has a scale in his heart, especially these angrily dying rangers, their right and wrong are very simple, and what they are to do is to use. While eating, drinking, wearing, using Liu He's, he still refuses to do his best, just want to be lazy and behave well, and deserve to drive them away!
In this way, in the past twenty days, four hundred people had gathered. Zou Jing, Liu Bei, and Guan Yu also took advantage of his reputation to summon 100 to 20 people, a total of 500 people.
Liu Bei also recommended a scholar - Jian Yong, whose courtesy name was Xianhe.
Guan Yu was strong and had beautiful beards, thick beards, dark and shiny, but he was strong and arrogant, and was rigorous in dealing with things. Although Zhang Fei had no beautiful beards, he was tall and majestic, and he had a strong manner. He knew that he would have courage when he looked at him, but his words and deeds were biased and polite, like a gentleman. Jian Yong's appearance was not as good as Guan Zhang, and he could observe his words and expressions, be understanding, and was very capable of doing it.
During these days, Liu He walked with his friends, and stayed with him, pushed his clothes and clothes, and promoted food and food, and used all the means to win over others, making everyone devoted themselves to their hearts.
These people, especially some leaders, were brave, most of them had horses, and there were more than a dozen without horses. Liu He paid for his own money to buy good horses from the market and distributed them. Everyone brought weapons, including swords, swords, bows and arrows, and a few had spears, halberds, and strong crossbows. In order to facilitate practice, Liu He bought bows and arrows for those without bows and arrows, and also distributed them to bamboo guns without spears. In this way, not to mention swords and swords, everyone was equipped with at least a mount, bows and arrows and guns. At that time, the wealthy families often hid a lot of soldiers, and some landlords and powerful people even built their own weapons, so it was easy to buy some bows and arrows from the market.
Liu He also selected the gentleman who was good at shooting, which would make the spears light, and taught those who could not. Fortunately, these people had the foundation of martial arts, so it was not difficult to learn. At the same time, he also asked the maid of Zhang Fei to make several banners, divided into different colors, each color had different meanings, either moving forward, retreating, or going left, or going right. While learning shooting and spears, he also taught them to identify the flags. He also taught them to distinguish the sound of drums, and the sound of drums also had their own meanings.
After more than a month of use, in early August, everyone had learned about riding and shooting, guns and spears, and they could distinguish the flags and drums, and they took them out for hunting.
During the hunting process, Liu He was in charge of the army and ordered Xu Rong and Huang Zhong to lead two divisions, each with his own troops to obey the orders, using flags and drum sounds as signals, or two divisions went hand in hand, or one out alone, the teams were divided or scattered, gathered or gathered, and used the art of riding and shooting, expelling with spears and guns, and surrounded the prey. At first, everyone was not used to it, and they were often busy and could not beat a few rabbit pheasants all day. Gradually, they practiced a lot, adapted to the changes in the flags and drum sounds, and they became skillful in riding and shooting, spears and guns, and they became more and more cooperative with each other, and they always gained a lot of money.
Sometimes when Liu He watched them gallop and acted, although he did not dare to enforce the orders, he had already advanced as soon as he heard the drum and waved the flag. When he was chasing the hunt, he raised his spear and guns, his bows and arrows, and his war horses were galloping. Everyone was brave enough to be the first, as if he was a little in the army, and he was quite happy.
What surprised Liu He the most was that Guan Yu was good at using spears and halberds. He immediately realized that "Romance of the Romance" was written in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. At this time, it was the Eastern Han Dynasty that there were no three treasures for horses - horseshoes, high bridge saddles, and double-sided stirrups. The cavalry and horse battles all depended on horse sprinting.
In the Han Dynasty, "the halberd system was the most prosperous, with spears and spears second". In the Han Dynasty, there was no long-handled sword like the Qinglong Yanyue Sword. This Yanyue Sword appeared in the Tang and Song dynasties and was mainly used for practice, and was not used in actual combat. "The Three Kingdoms": "The envoys of Cao Zhang Liao and Guan Yu were the vanguards. Yu saw Liang's brigade, and rode Liang to the crowd and killed his head." Chen Shou's "sting" gave people many questions. If it was a knife, it should be the sayings of "slashing" and "cutting".
Although the knife can also be stabbed, Guan Yu was fast and Yan Liang was caught off guard. Therefore, it was called a stab. At that time, there was no Qinglong Yanyue Sword. Guan Yu might have stabbed Yan Liang with a spear or a halberd, and then wore a ring-headed sword or a horse-slashing sword on his body and slashed his head.
