In my memory, this guy only eats some meat with a little wine when he is happy.

"I told Yide that after that, some of my dividends will be allocated to you every month as living expenses. It's not a lot of money, but it's not a problem to buy a few house slaves. I'm really lonely. Just see which one is suitable and what to do next It's..." Liu Tao directly cleared out an area, and then sat down, um, cleaning is too much trouble.

"You don't plan to go home in the future?" Liu Yuan frowned.

"In the past ten days or so, I have to train soldiers in the militia. After ten days, I will lead the army to Jizhou. On the one hand, I will escort two businessmen back to Zhongshan County. This has been agreed. The second condition permits. If you have done enough to suppress the bandits in Jizhou, you will have to go to Luoyang to receive the reward, and you can’t name any county magistrate or county lieutenant...do you want to write a letter to let you go there?" Liu Tao said slowly.

"Are you kidding me?" Liu Yuanqi, who had originally sat down with Liu Tao, stood up abruptly at this moment, "I disagree! I didn't let you join Lu Zhi's family because I wanted you to join the army!"

Even if he is unworthy, he is still the only child in the family.If something happens, his lineage will be extinct!

"I'm just explaining to you that my plan doesn't mean to ask for your consent..." Liu Tao looked at Liu Yuanqi, and then bowed solemnly, "My child is not filial, and I want to make contributions this time, so I can't serve you! "

"You...you..." Liu Yuanqi pointed at Liu Tao excitedly. After a long time, he sat down slumped, "Get out, don't come back!"

Chapter 16 Liu Yuanqi's Fatherly Love

"The child is not filial, please take care of the father!" Liu Tao solemnly bowed to Liu Yuanqi, then got up and left.He originally planned to come back and discuss with Liu Yuanqi to see if he could recommend some brothers from the same clan...

In the current situation, it seems that there is no hope. I will go to my uncle Liu Zijing's house to have a look later.

I went back to the room and tidied up. To be honest, there was really nothing to tidy up.It is mainly a small booklet with a large amount of text written half in simplified Chinese and half in pinyin, which was secretly written by Liu Tao with charcoal pens.

He boasted that he didn't have such a good memory either. After traveling for a year, some things before the time travel were blurred.Who can guarantee when the history of the Three Kingdoms in the late Han Dynasty will be forgotten?Even if some big things are not forgotten, those trivial things that are not very concerned will gradually be forgotten.

A good memory is not as good as a bad pen, so it is better to write it down. At the same time, in order to worry about being deciphered, half simplified characters and half pinyin are used. Even if it falls into the hands of others, it is just a "book from heaven".

"The Yellow Turban Rebellion was nothing more than the Battle of Changshe, the Battle of Wancheng, the Battle of Dongjun and the Battle of Guangzong." Liu Tao looked at the 'Book of Heaven', "Basically there is no chance to participate in the first three, only Guangzong The Zong War may still be possible."

It seems that the imperial court dispatched troops in the middle and late February, among which Lu Zhi headed north, directly facing the main force of the Yellow Turbans.Huangfusong and Zhu Jun went south to deal with Bocai Yellow Turban in Yingchuan, so there was the battle of Changshe.

After that, Zhu Jun went to Nanyang to deal with Zhang Mancheng's troops.Huangfu Song went north and defeated the Busi tribe in Dongjun.Later, because Dong Zhuo was unfavorable in conquering the Yellow Turban, he had to continue to go north to deal with Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang...but Zhang Jiao seemed to have died of illness at that time.

"We will send troops here in March, and the battle of Guangzong must be in time. The key is how to deal with it after catching up. Before Zuo Feng arrives, help defeat Guangzong. After Lu Zhi was captured, follow him to Luoyang, or Stay and assist Dong Zhuo to continue to deal with Zhang Jiao..." Liu Tao thought slowly, and he realized that he really didn't have such a good mind, and he couldn't be like those colleagues who traveled through time, to be comprehensive and exhaustive.

"Forget it, don't think too much, just do your best and obey the destiny!" After putting away the 'Book of Heaven', Liu Tao got up and was about to leave. He had already brought some clothes to the barracks for a change of clothes. Just to get this 'book from heaven'.

When going out, Liu Yuanqi waited at the gate with a bag of things in his hand.

"It's so cold, why do you come here?" Liu Tao stepped forward and asked. In his memory, this old man never left the stove in winter unless he had to.

"Are you really planning to join the army?" Liu Yuanqi looked at Liu Tao with a strange expression.

"My reputation is useless waiting for Xiaolian. Taking advantage of the Yellow Turban to make trouble, it would be more practical to earn some military exploits." Liu Tao shook his head.In the area of ​​Zhuojun County, the generally accepted evaluation is that he is stubborn.Based on this evaluation, if the county wants to promote Xiaolian, it will not be his turn, but Liu Bei's "big filial son" is more likely.

"When will the troops be dispatched?" Liu Yuanqi asked after hearing the words.

"Looking at the current situation, it will take three months to dispatch troops." Liu Tao replied, not only because of equipment problems, but mainly because of the slightly cold weather.The weather starts to warm up in March, even if you camp outside, you will feel more comfortable.

Now that troops are dispatched, if the measures to keep warm are not done well, hundreds of people may fall ill overnight when they wake up the next day.In an era of scarce medical conditions, a cold and fever may be fatal.

If you want to prepare a large amount of warming materials, it will take up the space of the military rations, or the cost of transportation will increase, and the cost of protection will also increase... It seems cool to fight, but these trivial things are really driving people crazy!

"At present, the soldiers of the militia are basically the members of the Zhang family, right?" Liu Yuanqi asked again.

"Yes, speaking of it, I also have plans to choose a group of young people from our clan to be our own soldiers, about 50 or so, [-] would be the best, it doesn't matter if you don't have the surname Liu..." Liu Tao took the opportunity to put his original I plan to speak out.

The so-called not surnamed Liu does not mean the son-in-law who came to visit, but the in-laws of the Liu family, who are considered half of us anyway.

"Well, I will go to the ancestral hall now, and I will pick fifty for you in five days at most! Our Liu family in Zhuo County is still very prosperous, let alone fifty, five hundred young children can give You choose." Liu Yuanqi replied.

"Ning Que Wu Lan, I didn't go to the battlefield and come back." Liu Tao immediately reminded him, saying something suddenly came to his mind, and added, "And...don't Liu Bei!"

"There's no need to pull him in. I've already planned to see if I can talk to Jun Cheng in the next year and recommend Liu Bei as Xiaolian. If he succeeds, he will naturally go to Luoyang to be a Lang Guan." Liu Yuanqi replied casually , This son and Liu Bei had a good relationship when they were young, but after returning from Luoyang, the relationship became worse and worse.

Maybe it's because they can't understand each other?Of the two people who came back from Luoyang, one was still as gentle and elegant as before, while the other became more and more stubborn.But this, in his opinion, his son, who was already hopelessly stubborn, wanted to join the army...

It's hopeless, it's really hopeless!Only fools join the army these days. Which one of those soldiers is not restrained by civil officials everywhere?To the top of the sky, that is, a military marquis or a school lieutenant, those generals, partial generals, not even relatives from aristocratic families can do it!

I complained like this in private for a long time, and I was decadent for several days, and finally let it go.For such a naughty son to muster up the courage to join the army is already very remarkable.If he could really be a lieutenant in the army, that would be considered an achievement, and it would be better than doing nothing at home and being an obscure country gentry.

Now that he is going to go to war, being a father can't help much, after all, he doesn't know anything about the military.But to help choose a few soldiers, he can still do this kind of thing.

Outside, it's better to have a few trustworthy people around you.They are all members of the Zhang family. At critical moments, they will only protect Zhang Fei and ignore Liu Tao.

"Then... I went back to the barracks?" Liu Tao pointed to the gate.

"Whatever, don't come back if you don't get some results!" Liu Yuanqi stepped aside.

"Tonight's celebration banquet...will you come?" Liu Tao asked again.

"It's your celebration banquet, and it has nothing to do with me..." Liu Yuan raised his eyes to see Liu Tao go out, walked out too, turned around and closed the door, and then locked it, "You can do whatever you want, but after tonight, drink less alcohol. Others I don’t know that much, but I do know that alcohol is banned in the military..."

"I'm not that kind of alcoholic myself." Liu Tao retorted.

"But that brother of yours is!" Liu Yuanqi answered directly, "It is said that he has been drinking with his grandfather since he was a child, you have to pay attention to this alcoholic, you may not know when he got drunk and made a mistake, even if he was killed."

"Eh... I think we should really talk to him..." Liu Tao was speechless, Liu Yuanqi was really accurate in seeing Zhang Fei.

The two father and son chatted one after another, and finally separated at the intersection of the street...

Chapter 17 Lu Yan Recommends Jian Yong

Liu Tao was walking on the street, all he could think of was Liu Yuanqi's actions just now.

From the day he crossed, he felt that Liu Yuanqi was a complicated existence.On the one hand, he was desperately looking forward to his son becoming a dragon, but on the other hand, he never really cared about Liu Tao.However, when I felt that Liu Yuanqi was morbidly placing all his hopes on Liu Bei's side...

After he disappeared for a few days, he secretly went to inquire about his movements.After failing to stop him, he took the initiative to help him plan the matter of personal soldiers.Is it connected by blood, or should I just start paying attention when I see that my side is starting to rise?

Theoretically, Liu Yuanqi is not his father, but strictly speaking... Liu Tao would rather believe that it is Liu Yuanqi's fatherly love for Liu Tao, which has not disappeared, but has been hidden deeper.

"Brother?" Zhang Fei tried to ask.From the very beginning, Liu Tao didn't say a word when he came back, he looked preoccupied, he hesitated for a long time, and finally plucked up the courage to ask.

"Huh? Oh, Yide..." Liu Tao was taken aback, and then realized that he had returned to Zhuangzi's side before he knew it.Looking at the sky, it was already almost dark, and thanks to the fact that Zhuangzi was outside the city, the curfew might have already started in the city at this time.

"Did something happen?" Zhang Fei asked with concern.

"It's nothing, I chatted with my father... He promised to help me find fifty soldiers before March. By the way, are there any people on your side who are good at counting, or who can read and write? , I really lack everyone..." Liu Tao said casually, then looked at Zhang Fei and asked.

"If it's just an existence like the shopkeeper, you can still find it. It's just that they may not be willing to join the army. Besides, the family's property cannot be separated from them... As for the rest of my clan, it's not a problem to keep them safe. They are too reluctant to be aggressive. "Zhang Fei shook his head.

He became the head of the family early on, and he originally planned to choose a few qualified clan members to help run the business, but found that he couldn't find any, so at his age, he gave himself the crown ceremony, and then began to take care of everything in the family.

"Then do you know where there are talents in this field in Zhuo County?" Liu Tao also casually mentioned it.

"Brother, it's a little inappropriate for you to ask me this. Almost all of my circles are merchants, and there are also some poor families who are not well-known. It's just that when I get along with them, I always feel that they look down on me... Besides, if you want to find this kind of people Talent, why don’t you go to a military advisor?” Zhang Fei directly pointed out the way for Liu Tao.

"That's right, then I'll go over and ask..." Liu Tao suddenly realized that he really meant to ask Yu Blin just now.
