Although the voice was not loud, Liu Zheng was majestic, and Tai Shici also knew that it was Liu Zheng's voice, so naturally he didn't dare to continue fighting with this strong man here.

The brawny man saw so many people coming out, and he was also interested. He didn't come here to make trouble, he just came to see Liu Zheng.

So after Tai Shici stopped, he quickly stood aside.

"You righteous man, for no reason, you came to make trouble at the gate of my mansion. What are you talking about?"

"I'm not here to make trouble, I'm here to ask to see Master Liu Zheng."

The brawny man was straightforward, he ignored Liu Zheng's accusation, and instead answered Liu Zheng bluntly, unaware that the young man in front of him was the Master Liu Zheng he was looking for.

Liu Zheng smiled.

"Since you are here to see Mr. Liu Zheng, why don't you go to the door to ask for instructions, and insist on fighting here?"

That Tai Shici was also full of anger. He fought with this strong man just now and did not take advantage of it. Although Liu Zheng stopped him in time, Tai Shici was at a disadvantage. Liu Zheng still knew it, which made Tai Shici lose face. , so at this time, with a look of disdain, he said to the strong man.

"You are so stupid, you see a real person, but you don't know it."

After being told by Tai Shici, the strong man realized that the young man in front of him was the Master Liu Zheng he wanted to find.

He was surprised at first, and then stared at Liu Zheng carefully.

There were even some who were uncertain and looked at Liu Zheng with a puzzled look and asked a question.

"You are Liu Zheng?"

Liu Zheng smiled again, he was really teased by the strong man in front of him, so he could only spread his hands.

"If it's fake, tell me, what do you want from me?"

The strong man didn't talk nonsense, and when Liu Zheng asked, he opened his mouth to talk about his reason for coming.

"I heard in Yanzhou that you opened a recruitment list to call for talented people from all over the world. I came here from Yanzhou to join you. I have always heard people say that you are a great hero. I didn't expect that when I came to your Wu County, it was a day late. , your recruitment list is over, I didn't catch up, I finally came here, I don't want to go back empty-handed like this, so I came here to find you, see if you want me, if you think highly of me, Lao Dian, I'm old Dian will sell you this life!"

The strong man finished what he wanted to say in one breath.

Liu Zheng still listened calmly to the previous few sentences, but when he heard this man himself called Lao Dian, Liu Zheng was startled, and then thought of this man's superb martial arts. During the Three Kingdoms period, Tai Shici's martial arts were definitely among the best. One of the few people in the world, there are only a handful of people who can beat Tai Shici.

And there is probably only one person named Lao Dian.

That is Dian Wei!

"What did you say your name was?"

Liu Zheng's face changed slightly, and then he asked a question.

"My name is Dianwei, from Yanzhou. To tell you the truth, I killed someone in Yanzhou and fled to Yangzhou. I listened to you recruiting talents, regardless of these things. I have also admired your name for a long time, so I came to try my luck. of!"

Dian Wei is a rather simple person, he doesn't have a heart, and he tells his secret almost as soon as he opens his mouth.

When Liu Zheng heard that his name was Dian Wei, he had already confirmed that the strong man in front of him was Dian Wei in history, but after being confirmed by himself, Liu Zheng no longer had any doubts in his heart.

After being horrified, Liu Zheng calmed himself down and sized up Dian Wei. At this time, Dian Wei's clothes were a bit sloppy, and his burly figure also looked a little dirty. He really looked like he was fleeing in a hurry.

"Why did you kill?"

Chapter 542 Recruiting Dianwei

Liu Zheng didn't directly accept Dian Wei. That would have been too hasty. Even if Liu Zheng knew Dian Wei was powerful, those subordinates behind him would have objections.

Let Liu Zheng take in a fugitive from the imperial court. There are always some gossips. Although Liu Zheng himself is a fugitive from the imperial court, he must always find out why Dian Wei killed people and why he fled. After confirming that his character is fine, Liu Zhengcai is willing to accept Dianwei.

"The man I killed was called Li Yong. He was a dog official. He relied on his own power to bully men and women in our village. I have a good brother who has some land at home and a beautiful younger sister. Then Li Yong Li Yong conspired to defraud my brother of his property, and forced her sister to sell her into a brothel as a slave, I couldn't see it, so he avenged my brother and killed that dog official."

"Although the dog official had hundreds of guards in his house, I didn't force my way in. Instead, I pretended to be a street vendor and squatted at the door of his house. Kill him! Hahaha, what a joy!"

When Dian Wei saw Liu Zheng asking about it, he didn't hide the matter at all, on the contrary, he was a little proud, and he even said clearly how he killed the person.

He didn't need to hide anything about these things, because Liu Zheng only needed to send someone to Yanzhou to inquire casually, and he would be sure to know whether what Dian Wei said was true or not.

And Liu Zheng didn't care about Dian Wei's murder at all. In the troubled times, who hasn't killed a few people? Even Liu Zheng killed hundreds of enemies on the battlefield.

I am used to seeing life and death, and I also know that heroes like Dian Wei are heroes who love to fight against injustice, and killing people is naturally a common thing for them.

"So, the people you kill are only those who commit crimes and crimes?"

"That's natural. I, Dian Wei, behaved well and stood upright. How could I kill people indiscriminately? Then Li Yong is a dog official. I killed him to eliminate harm for the people."

At this time, Liu Zheng already understood Dian Wei's tough character, a straightforward man with no scheming.

Although he is a bit naive, Liu Zheng likes it very much. After all, whether it is in his behavior of killing harm for the people or in terms of his excellent ability, Liu Zheng values ​​it.

"I, Liu Zhengguang, recruit talented people. I will not reject you thousands of miles away just because you killed someone. On the contrary, your act of eliminating harm for the people is very popular with me. From today on, you will follow me." Let me mess it up!"

After learning about Dian Wei's story, Liu Zheng immediately opened his mouth and accepted Dian Wei as a general. After all, if he hesitated, Liu Zheng would be afraid of Dian Wei and ran away.

The people around him heard that Liu Zheng agreed to this person's request for refuge so easily. Although they were a little surprised, they didn't say anything. Only Dian Wei was stunned for a moment, and then his face became overjoyed.

"Haha, are you serious?"

"Of course it's true. I, Liu Zheng, seem like a joker? Dian Wei, I saw that you are very brave, but I happen to be the captain of the guards. From today onwards, you are the captain of this group of soldiers. Train them well for me. !"

Liu Zheng pointed to the guards who had climbed up from the ground. These guards are usually personal soldiers with Liu Zheng when he goes out to fight. When he is resting, he will become the guards who guard the house. Liu Zheng's sudden words made everyone's faces look a little ugly.

But these soldiers also knew that after being punished by Dian Wei, they were ashamed in front of Liu Zheng, and they should be reprimanded.

Dian Wei also did not expect that Liu Zheng would directly give him an order to serve as the captain of Liu Zheng's personal army. After being stunned for a moment, he was immediately overjoyed.

"Thank you sir!"

Dian Wei happily followed Liu Zheng, and quickly changed his identity.

"Ziyi, you take Dianwei down to arrange a residence in the mansion, and teach him some rules. I will take Yuan Yao to the school to organize the army."

Liu Zheng gave instructions to Tai Shici who was behind him. Tai Shici was quite critical of Dian Wei at first, but now when Liu Zheng accepted Dian Wei as the captain of the personal guard, he let go of the little grudge in his heart.

Although the captain of the personal guard is not a high-ranking official position, it is a very important position. It is a position that must protect Liu Zheng's safety anytime and anywhere. If he cannot be trusted, it will be difficult to assume it.

As soon as Dian Wei and Liu Zheng met, Liu Zheng was so convinced that Tai Shici knew that Dian Wei would have a place in Liu Zheng's army in the future, so he treated Dian Wei politely.

Dian Wei is also a smart person. Although he is a bit naive, he can also see the situation clearly. People like Tai Shici have strong strength, and Dian Wei will pay him some respect.

After Tai Shici entered the mansion, Liu Zheng led Yuan Yao to the school grounds. On the way, Yuan Yao congratulated Liu Zheng and got another strong general.

Liu Zheng could tell from Yuan Yao's face that Yuan Yao actually had a bit of disdain for people like Dian Wei. If it were someone else, if they met Dian Wei who came to the mansion looking for trouble, most of them would drive them away if they didn't arrest them to see the officials. gone.

Only Liu Zheng was able to keep him, and he was promised a heavy responsibility.

Liu Zheng was caught by Yuan Yao's slight contempt, but Zhou Yu, who was following Liu Zheng on the other side, didn't understand. On the way to the school grounds, he couldn't help asking behind Liu Zheng's ass.

"Master, the big man just now is clearly a fugitive. He came to join us, in fact, he wanted to escape the court's pursuit. Why did the master accept him and let him be the captain of the personal army? It's because of his martial arts Gao Qiang?"

Zhou Yu raised his head and looked at Liu Zheng suspiciously, as if he wanted Liu Zheng to explain to him.

Liu Zheng looked at Zhou Yu, and was quite satisfied with Zhou Yu's spirit of not being ashamed to ask questions. He first smiled at Zhou Yu, and then explained.

"Yu'er, it is important to be strong in martial arts! But it is not absolute. Even if the martial arts are the best in the world, if the person's character is not good, he will inevitably provoke the world's heroes to attack him. The most important thing is to see if a person can be used by you. What matters is character."

"This person is able to act righteously for a friend. It can be seen that he is not a bad person. He is righteous and has a good disposition. As long as he is not a bad person, he can be used by us. Not to mention his martial arts are good. Let him be investigated first. If he is talented, he will be thrown into the army to practice in the future, wouldn't he be another capable general?"

Zhou Yu understood what Liu Zheng meant, and nodded quickly. Yuan Yao, who was standing beside him, seemed to understand something, and nodded accordingly, but he didn't say a word the whole time.

Chapter 543 Sending Troops

They soon arrived at the school grounds.

The school grounds in Wu County are not large, and only 1 horses are stationed here.

These 1 people are all soldiers under Tai Shici's men. In the previous battle of Jingzhou, although Liu Zheng led Tai Shici's men to surprise Jingzhou, Tai Shici's men did not suffer much losses.

Most of the elites survived. Originally, Tai Shici's men and horses had been trained not long ago, so they could not be regarded as the elite troops under Liu Zheng's command. However, after the battle of Jingzhou and the baptism of war, the combat experience of these soldiers has increased. .

Now it can be regarded as an elite force.

When they arrived at the school grounds, Liu Zheng took Yuan Yao to tidy up here, and after boosting their morale, he let the soldiers rest for a day, and set off for Changsha County early tomorrow morning.

If he wanted to rescue Jiang Xia, he had to go to Changsha County and then surprise Jiang Xia. Liu Zheng didn't need to send people to Nanyang to deal with Ding Yuan directly. He only needed Chen Bing to be at the border between Jiang Xia and Changsha. Ding Yuan would come naturally after receiving the news.

After all, it is impossible for Ding Yuan to fight on both sides, unless he is sure to defeat Yuan Shu quickly, and then turn back to deal with Liu Zheng.

With Liu Zheng's series of actions, Yuan Yao was temporarily relieved and rested in Wu County that night.

After Liu Zheng returned to his mansion, he first met Dian Wei and talked with Dian Wei for a long time, mainly because he wanted to build a good relationship with Dian Wei and buy people's hearts.

By the time he left Dianwei's place and went to his own yard, it was already very late.

Zhang Muyu walked over with a big belly, but Liu Zheng didn't come back, and she didn't rest.

"My husband is back."

When Liu Zheng saw that Zhang Muyu's belly was so big, he was still walking around here, and he was also worried.

Counting the days, Zhang Muyu was already eight months pregnant.

Calculated according to the time, the childbirth will be soon. Liu Zheng originally wanted to be by Zhang Muyu's side. After all, he was not able to accompany Cai Yao's remaining children by Cai Yao's side. Liu Zheng still has some guilt in his heart.

"Madam, it's so late, why haven't you rested yet?"

"My husband hasn't come back yet, how dare I sleep alone."

Ever since Zhang Muyu became a woman, she changed her previous temperament and became very gentle. Perhaps it was because she got what she wanted. Women at this age will become gentle, or after she is pregnant with a child, her maternal nature is rampant. Liu Zheng is always very considerate.

Liu Zheng hugged her carefully, and touched Zhang Muyu's belly with his hand.

Touching slowly, like touching a small animal with fluff.

"Fool, it's so late, you don't sleep, you have to think about your child."

"These days, he's been quite obedient, he hasn't moved at all, but occasionally there will be some movement at night, which makes me restless when I sleep."

"Haha, like me, this kid is really naughty, wait for him to come out and see how I teach him."

Liu Zheng laughed, and hugged Zhang Muyu even tighter.

But Zhang Muyu smiled sweetly.

"This is not necessarily a boy, maybe it is a daughter."

"Whether it's a boy or a daughter, they are all my children."

"Then if the boy is like your husband, handsome and brave, if the daughter is like me, gentle and virtuous."

"It's so stinking, to actually say that I'm gentle and virtuous."

"Hmph, am I not?"

"Yes, yes, my wife must be gentle and virtuous, the most gentle and virtuous in the world."

Liu Zheng held Zhang Muyu in his arms, and after being tender for a while, he led her back to the room to rest.

Although Liu Zheng has two wives now, during the time in Wu Jun, Liu Zheng spent most of his time with Zhang Muyu and Cai Yao, because there were children to take care of, in fact, at night, It's not too good to come to accompany Liu Zheng.

Because of Zhang Muyu's pregnancy, although Liu Zheng can't do indescribable things, there is nothing wrong with the two sharing the same bed, the most important thing is affection.

On the second day, Liu Zheng and Zhang Muyu talked about their upcoming trip to Changsha.

Although Zhang Muyu had a lot of reluctance, she, who had always been well-educated, agreed to Liu Zheng's departure. After all, men need to focus more on their careers, and staying by Zhang Muyu's side is a bit too restrained.

Especially at this stage, Liu Zheng still needs to do something for the people of Yangzhou and Jingzhou.

This time, Cai Yao didn't follow either. After all, Zhang Muyu was about to give birth, so leaving Cai Yao at home to take care of Zhang Muyu was better than having no one at home.

After leaving reluctantly, Liu Zheng led Tai Shici's five thousand soldiers and horses to leave.

Leading Taishici's men and horses away did not take Taishici's men directly to Changsha County, but let Taishici's men and horses allocate [-] troops to garrison Danyang County.

Liu Zheng wants to take Huang Zhong's men from Danyang to Changsha.

Firstly, Tai Shici's men had already fought a battle in Jingzhou battlefield before, and it was time to recuperate, while Huang Zhong's men had recuperated for a long time, it was time for them to go out to exercise their muscles and bones up.

At the same time, the opponents Liu Zheng will face this time may be Ding Yuan's generals, not to mention Lu Bu, but Zhang Liao, Gao Shunle and others are enough for Liu Zheng to drink a pot.

So if he didn't bring his elite and top-notch fighters to the field, Liu Zheng would really feel a little scared.

After letting Taishi Ciren, some of them were stationed in Wu County and some of them were stationed in Danyang County, Liu Zheng took Huang Zhong with him, and then went straight to Changsha County.

As early as a day ago, Liu Zheng had sent a message. Now in Changsha County, there are another [-] soldiers waiting for Liu Zheng.

Ten thousand belonged to Zhou Cang's army, and the other ten thousand belonged to Gan Ning's troops.

Liu Zheng put Gan Ning's men and horses in Changsha County for training, and led Zhou Cang's soldiers and Huang Zhong's 1 horses to the border of Jiangxia County.

The [-] troops rushed towards Jiangxia aggressively. Although the speed was very fast, the spies deployed in Changsha County quickly passed the news back to Liu Biao in Nanjun.
