The portable magic tower of the Three Kingdoms

He knew very well that Liu Tao's militia had to escort the two merchants from Zhongshan back in the last few days, and they had to go south to join the crusade army of the imperial court.It was because of this that he hurriedly wrote down the soldiers and sent them to him, right?

"Probably these few days." Liu Tao replied immediately, feeling a little uneasy.

"The documents to be sent back to Ji County will come within two days, at least within four days. Don't leave," Zou Jing reminded.

"Here!" Liu Tao immediately replied.

After Liu Tao left, Zou Jing opened the manuscript again and began to read it slowly.For a general, this thing is really rare, and the last little entanglement in his heart has disappeared.

"Speaking of..." Zou Jing suddenly thought, "Liu Tao is so capable, so what if Bogui mentioned Liu Bei...?"

It is estimated that Liu Tao didn't even know that his "excellence" made Zou Jing notice Liu Bei's existence.

"Brother..." On Liu Tao's side, as soon as he returned to Zhuangzi, Zhang Fei came over, "I'm going to help with the conscription today. Guess who is going to apply for it?"

"Since you asked me to guess, it should be someone I know. As expected, it should be my brother Liu Bei, right?" Liu Tao thought for a while, and then replied.Of course, he was not surprised that Liu Bei would join the army.

It's really thanks to my father that he recommended him to the sheriff in a while, and he would probably follow Zhu Jun's path as a small official in a certain county.Perhaps in Liu Bei's view, taking advantage of this turmoil and killing the enemy is the fastest way to gain merits rather than slowly simmering through his resume.

Indeed, even Liu Tao himself thought so.If you miss this time, after a few years, you can almost only choose one prince to take refuge in, and see if you can become a minister of the dragon.After all, with his background, not to mention Yang Biao and Yuan Shao, the four generations and three princes, even Cao Cao, a family of officials and eunuchs, can't compare.

He wants to become a vassal from the separatist side.No matter in terms of family background or fame, he was inferior to others, but he was a Han Dynasty clan relative, and he could fool those foolish fools a little bit.

"That guy lingered at the conscription point for a while, and finally I couldn't stand it anymore, so I pulled him over and registered him directly. Hehe, that means we walk fast, or else we have to practice and drill him!" Zhang Fei laughed.

After all, the trajectories of life are different, otherwise Zhang Fei would have become sworn brothers with Liu Bei and Guan Yu in Taoyuan on this day.

It's a pity that in this world, he is the one who wants to be sworn brothers with Zhang Fei and Guan Yu Taoyuan, and Lu Yan is also dragged into the water by him.It's a pity that Changshan Zhao Zilong couldn't be found, otherwise the five knots would be good.

This time I went to Zhongshan, if conditions allowed, I had to take a detour to Changshan to have a look. I remember where I read it. At this time, Zhao Yun had been elected by the village to lead the villagers to resist the Yellow Turbans.If you go to Changshan at this time, you will definitely be able to see him.

The problem is a detour for a few days, I am afraid that I will miss the opportunity... I still remember the Tumu Fortress Change, which was the Yingzong's personal conquest. Under the instigation of the eunuch Wang Zhen, they ran around, causing the soldiers to be exhausted, and finally defeated by the Oirat army.

Taking history as a mirror, we can see the ups and downs. Since you can't have both fish and bear's paws, Liu Tao can't help it.

"If he can achieve some results, that's good. After all, it's the clan brother, so don't make things difficult for him." Liu Tao shook his head. The name clan brother is a bit painful. If you change someone else, find a chance to directly Shoot to death, lest you become your own hindrance.

It has nothing to do with personal preferences, it's just from the standpoint, if anything that will hinder him from becoming king and hegemony can be eliminated in advance, why should he let the other party sit on the big side? !

It's not that I didn't think about it, with the help of Zhang Fei's relationship, I found someone to kill Liu Bei secretly.However, Liu Bei was quite admired by the rangers in Zhuo County, Zhang Fei couldn't find someone to take advantage of, and it was easy to be exposed, so he had to shelve it in the end.

"Four more days of preparation, and then we will set off!" Liu Tao took a deep breath and looked at Zhang Fei.

"I can't wait any longer!" Zhang Fei also looked eager to fight.

He has long been a little tired of daily training and so on.It is said that a year of practice is worse than a battle. No matter how long you practice in Zhuo County, if you don't go out to fight, what's the point? !

Chapter 33

For the next four days, Liu Tao sent Zhang Fei and Guan Yu to take turns to help Zou Jing handle the conscription.

At the same time, he personally organized the soldiers to conduct drills, from the most basic officer selection and formation, to standing and walking in unison, as well as left and right, backward turning and other skills, he demonstrated to Zou Jing one by one.

Just yesterday, he and Lu Yan, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei were in the Taoyuan of Zhuangzi, preparing incense tables, offering sacrifices, bathing and changing clothes, burning incense and offering to God: "Remember Liu Tao, Lu Yan, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, Although they have different surnames, they become brothers, and they will work together to save the poor and help the poor; report to the country, and go down to the common people. I don’t want to be born on the same day in the same year, but I just want to die in the same year. , Heaven and man will kill together!"

Liu Taoxu is 23 years old and is the eldest brother.Lu Yan is a few months younger than Liu Tao and is the second elder brother.Guan Yu was one month younger than Lu Yan and was the third child.In the end, Zhang Feixu was nineteen years old, so he could only obediently be the fourth child.Of course, Guan Yu changed from the second master to the third master, and Liu Tao was somewhat awkward.

Thinking about it carefully, I didn't think there was anything wrong... Since he traveled through this era, the world line has changed!The four became brothers of different surnames. From then on, they lived and died together, shared wealth and adversity, and the earliest relationship of mutual use naturally disappeared...

"Sun and Wu, two masters of military art, talked about the way of training soldiers, nothing more than sitting and rising, walking and stopping, left and right, front and back, dividing and combining, and combining and solving. Now I see Deran training soldiers like this Only then can I understand the mystery." Zou Jing looked at the recruits in front of him and nodded repeatedly. It is such a basic thing, but not everyone can know it, and not everyone can do it well.

"That's the trick of the humble job association, just don't want to be laughed at by the general." Liu Tao replied hastily.

His appointment has been formalized. After Liu Yan knew his identity as a clan member of the Han Dynasty, he was recommended by Zou Jing, so he was recruited as Sima of another department, directly under Liu Yan, but his status was slightly lower than that of Zou Jing, and he was not a general. , so it is not called a subordinate, but a humble job.

"For recruits, these foundations are the most important. The way to fight is still too far away from them. It's a pity that Deran can't stay, otherwise I can be more relaxed." Zou Jing said with emotion, Liu Tao was scheduled to set off yesterday, but in the end he Leave him for another day, seeing that after today, he will lead the army to go out, and there is no way to continue to help him.

"When you are alive, you should restrain yourself with loyalty, filial piety and righteousness. Since Tao has promised others to escort him back to Zhongshan County, how can he not keep his word? This expedition can also find out the situation of the Yellow Turban Bandits in Jizhou. If the bandits are large, If there are signs of going north to Youzhou, it’s better to report it early so as not to be caught off guard.” Hearing this, Liu Tao immediately said the excuse he had prepared.

"Ha, if you make contributions on the battlefield and become prosperous, don't forget about Zou!" Zou Jing teased.

"Definitely, definitely..." Of course Liu Tao wouldn't take it seriously, since Zou Jing went to Yizhou with Liu Yan in the future, that would be the real prosperity, so naturally he doesn't need to support him.

Before leaving in the afternoon, I had to take a look inside the recruit team.The main thing is to look at a certain village, Liu Tao did not expect that because of his own relationship, Liu Bei also won the favor of Zou Jing, enlisted in the army and was directly promoted to be the head of the village, with a hundred recruits under his jurisdiction.

Liu Bei summoned his friends again and recruited more than a dozen rangers to join the team. For a while, his fighting power was the strongest in the whole army!With this result, Zou Jing valued him even more, and seemed to plan to promote him to be a military marshal after a while, with five hundred recruits under his command.

After all, this Liu Bei is about to make a fortune... Liu Tao sighed, then turned and left.

Even if it is a temporary military officer, his status is not as good as his other Sima, but considering the historical trajectory of this man, this is not a good sign.

"After all, it's because of my status..." Liu Tao sighed, changing his status, he could kill Liu Bei before he made a fortune.But it was Liu Deran who traveled through, so many things became embarrassing.

But with a different identity, can Zhang Fei obediently become sworn brothers with him?Obediently pay money to form a militia?What he valued was nothing more than his status as a 'clan member of the Han Dynasty', at least at the beginning!

If it was someone else, Mu Leng Leng went to bet with Zhang Fei with the distillation technology. It is possible for someone else to kill him and take the technology for himself.In this era, one cannot underestimate the simplicity of others, let alone underestimate the dangers of the world!

Back at Zhuangzi, the soldiers had already made the final preparations, and everyone seemed to know that they were going to leave tomorrow, so they began to pack their bags.The busiest thing is the supply unit. They have to load the supplies and check whether there are any omissions. It is estimated that it will be very late tonight before they can rest.

"Brother, why do you have to prepare two large carts of Jiuxian Niang?" Zhang Fei had to ask Liu Tao when he met him.There are more than 50 bottles in a car, and hundreds of bottles in the car, and most of the inventory in the wine cellar is gone.

In addition to the part purchased by Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang, Zhuo County may not be able to drink Jiuxian Niang in June in the past two months.

"I have a wonderful use for these two carts of wine. If I use them properly, the Zhang family can go further!" Liu Tao said with a smile, "If they are used properly, it's impossible to say that your Immortal Wine will become a tribute!"

Tributes are collected from all over the country, and the shipping and cost of items paid to the palace are naturally provided by the producers themselves.But in the same way, how many people would like their own things to become tributes, because in this era, tributes are just a signboard, and if they are not the best, they cannot get this title.

Zhang Fei naturally understood that if the Jiuxian Niang was a tribute, businessmen from all over the country would flock to Zhuoxian County, not to mention Zhuo County, and spend tens of thousands of dollars for a bottle of June's Jiuxian Niang.He also had this plan before, but there was no way out!

"Really?" So after hearing Liu Tao's words, he was immediately excited, and at the same time worried about gain and loss, "Then we should wait for the one year's storage to come out, and then operate it!"

"Time doesn't wait for me. If I don't take advantage of this opportunity, I won't be able to operate. Besides, the cellar has changed a lot in one year, and the quality of the wine is different every year. When the time comes, Your Majesty will drink it and feel that it is different from last year. What should I do if I lose my temper? Therefore, the rule of paying tribute has always been the best to keep yourself, and only pay tribute to the palace if you can produce energy, and the month of June is just right!" Liu Tao quickly explained.

Just like the later generations, the top Dahongpao is enjoyed by the tea merchants themselves, and the second-class ones are paid tribute to the court.The emperor thought he was drinking the best Dahongpao, but he didn't want the best, which never belonged to him.

"It turns out that there is still this particularity. Thanks to my brother's reminder, otherwise Fei will make a big mistake!" Zhang Fei was stunned when he heard the words, but after thinking about it, he felt that Po made sense, and quickly thanked him.

He really planned to give it to Luoyang after a period of time, that is, when the good wine that has been cellared for a year comes out, to see if it can be mixed as a tribute. With this golden signboard, the Zhang family can prosper even if he is not around.

But after Liu Tao said that, he realized that the tribute was also risky and particular, and thanks to knowing it in advance, otherwise something really happened and it would be too late to recover.

As for Liu Tao, he also has a plan, that is to take advantage of Zuo Feng to come to inspect and see if he can secretly establish a good relationship. It would be good to have an extra network, otherwise Lu Zhi will be imprisoned, and he is probably in danger!

"Report!" Just as he was talking to Zhang Fei, some scouts came to report, "There is an army of yellow scarves attacking Zhuo County!"

Chapter 34 Tens of Thousands of Yellow Turbans Attack Zhuo County

Since Zou Jing came to Zhuojun, it meant that Cheng Zhiyuan and Deng Mao, the commanders of the Yellow Turban Bandits, might go north during this period.
