"Xu Shu!" Liu Mang was excited when he saw Xu Shu. This was a famous person. He was comparable to Brother Pig, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, and Old Man Chen in Lujiang. But now, this person wanted to assist him and work for him! How could Liu Mang not be excited?
"Yuanzhi!" Liu Mang opened his mouth. Liu Mang, who is still injured, rushed out of bed and tightly held Xu Shu's hand. Excitement and pain made Liu Mang's expression very wonderful. Liu Mang is barefooted and wearing a nightgown. If it was a normal time, this would be rude. But now, Xu Shu felt a special kind of emotion.
Liu Mang's body was seriously injured. Xu Shu also saw the wound on his buttocks. His clothes were torn apart, blood and flesh mixed with his clothes. When the clothes were torn apart, blood and flesh were mixed together. But even so, the King Of Shu still got out of bed and held Xu Shu's hand when he saw him. This treatment was really a big gift for a poor child like Xu Shu!
In the original history, Xu You was afraid that Yuan Shao would punish him, so he fled to Cao Cao's military camp in Guandu. Cao Cao was preparing to wash his feet and sleep. When he heard the news, Cao Cao rushed out to greet Xu You without wearing shoes. This action made Xu You extremely touched! Xu You believed that this was Cao Cao's way of showing his sincerity. This made Xu You even more determined to help Cao Cao destroy Yuan Shao!
But now, Liu Mang was doing much more than Cao Cao! Two days ago, he was beaten unconscious. Xu Shu saw it on the spot. But today, when the new lord woke up and heard that Xu Shu was coming, he got up and held Xu Shu's hand regardless of his injuries! This was enough to show that Xu Shu was seriously injured! Xu Shu was a poor child. Although he had just finished his studies and returned! But there was still a kind of humility that belonged to poor children!
Especially for Xu Shu. When he was studying, it was said that Xu Shu studied hard, but don't forget the reason behind it! It was those nobles who looked down on Xu Shu. They thought that Xu Shu was a lowly commoner and a bandit. Therefore, Xu Shu was forced to work hard and endure other people's disdain. Therefore, compared to Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, Xu Shu paid more attention to other people's opinion of him. Now, Liu Mang, as the Prince of Shu, did not care about his own safety and held him like this. That kind of emotional and painful expression on his face was definitely not faked.
The king treated himself as a country knight, treated himself as a country knight. This was the friendship between ancient people.
"My lord, Shu is just a commoner. Why do you treat Shu like this!" Xu Shu was different from others. Others basically treated Lü Bu as their lord and called Liu Mang as Lü Bu's son-in-law. Even people like Huang Zhong and Gan Ning who were persuaded by Liu Mang to surrender were the same! But Xu Shu was different. He directly treated Liu Mang as his lord. Liu Mang was his lord! So, Xu Shu directly called him Lord!
"It's not the same, it's not the same!" Liu Mang was in so much pain that he was trembling! His mouth was already incoherent.
"I understand!" Xu Shu nodded and knelt down again. "My lord, Xu Shu swears that I will serve my lord for life!"
The ancient people knew how to repay kindness. A drop of water should be repaid with a gushing spring. Although China's five thousand years of history was a history of war, it was also a history of civilization and morality. How could many strategists and generals not know that their lord's actions were wrong? Take Yang Hong for example. When Yuan Shu declared himself emperor, Yang Hong also knew that it was treacherous. His ending would definitely not be good! But Yang Hong followed Yuan Shu without hesitation. Ji Ling and the others were also the same! In the end, except for Yang Hong, everyone else died!
But they did not regret it. Because Yuan Shu treated them as country knights, they would definitely repay him as country knights.
"Get up, get up!" Liu Mang gritted his teeth. "Han Sheng, help me!" Liu Mang could not stand it anymore. His injuries were not healed yet. The scabs that had just formed were torn by Liu Mang. His clothes that had just been washed were also red. He could only let Huang Zhong support him to lie on the bed.
Lying on the bed, Liu Mang was able to hear the report of the past few days from Xu Shu.
After Liu Mang was beaten unconscious, the first unlucky person was Wei Yan. This Wei had a poisonous tongue. Before Liu Mang was beaten up, he had already told Chengyu how to deal with Wei Yan. Wei Yan was a talented person, but he was too arrogant. He always thought that he was number one in the world. So, before using him, Chengyu had to suppress him! Destroy his morale!
Liu Mang and Shi Xiang were beaten because of the military law. This Wei Yan also could not escape. He provoked a fight and caused trouble for no reason. He also needed to be beheaded. But because the City Guard soldiers did not explain clearly, he did not deserve to die. Although he could escape death, he could not escape punishment. So, he was beaten 40 times!
Liu Mang was beaten unconscious because of this matter. So, how could the City Guard soldiers be polite to Wei Yan? Wei Yan went up and gave him a good beating. The forty beatings were abruptly reduced to sixty beatings, but Wei Yan was also tough. Although his mouth was croaking, he didn't cry out in pain and endured the sixty beatings.
Zhao Yun and Wang Wei were also beaten 40 times. Zhao Yun was very cooperative. Ever since Liu Mang was willing to enforce the military law, Zhao Yun had a whole new level of respect for Liu Mang. He also praised the General of the White Horse Gongsun Zan. However, Liu Mang's words made Zhao Yun confused. Zhao Yun was educated to be loyal to the king and love the country. But Liu Mang's words were disgraceful. Although Zhao Yun's blood was boiling because of Liu Mang's words.
What about Wang Wei? There was no other way. Zhao Yun was also willing to accept the punishment. If he did not do something, he would be beaten 60 times like Wei Yan. Moreover, if he resisted now, only death would await him. The City Guard's swords were not to be trifled with. Moreover, there was Huang Zhong who was a fighting machine.
"They were all beaten?" Liu Mang originally only wanted to punish Wei Yan. But now, they were all beaten. "What about them?" If these people left after being beaten, Liu Mang would cry.
"Not a single one is left. All of them are under control." Xu Shu stood at the side and explained to Liu Mang. If Liu Mang did not say those disgraceful words, Xu Shu would not have done this. But since Liu Mang said those words, naturally he would seal those people's mouths.
What kind of people were the easiest to seal? One was a dead person, and the other was his own people. When Liu Mang fainted, Xu Shu told Huang Zhong his idea. He wanted to let Huang Zhong control all the outsiders. Huang Zhong was not an idiot. He had decades of experience in this field! Naturally, he nodded. Three thousand City Guard unsheathed their swords. All the poor children were under control. Otherwise, they would be killed.
These people would either become his own people and have a chance to live, or they would become dead people! Dead people's mouths were the most tightly sealed. In the two days when Liu Mang was not here, Xu Shu relied on his own ability to make Huang Zhong and other veterans look at him in a new light. Except for those who were under control, the other poor children who came later were also in good order.
"Yuanzhi, you did well!" Liu Mang nodded. He did not expect Xu Shu to control all these people. In this way, Wei Yan and Zhao Yun could not escape even if they wanted to.
"This is what I should do." Xu Shu was not greedy.
"Yuanzhi, I don't know how to reward you. Everything will be decided when I write a letter to father-in-law. Now, Yuanzhi, you are my military advisor. You are Liu Mang's military advisor, including the City Guard, the Black Flag Army, and Gan Ning's twelve thousand navy. "
"Military advisor?" Xu Shu's eyes flashed. He thought that Liu Mang would at most give him the position of an advisor. He did not expect him to be a military advisor.
"What's wrong? Do you think it's too small? " Liu Mang was not easy to deal with. Xu Shu was also a person who was good at both the pen and the sword. His martial arts were not weak, but his strategy was better. If such a person was under Lao Cao or other people, he would be able to command an army. It was like Zhou Yu's position under Sun Cejun.
But Liu Mang did not have this power. He could only control his own twenty thousand soldiers. He couldn't possibly give up his position to Xu Shu, right? Not to mention whether Lü Bu would agree or not, even if Lü Bu agreed, his soldiers would be willing.
"No, it is enough." What was a military advisor? Although it was only an advisor, it was the head of the civil officials. It was the second most important person in the army. Just like when Sun Ce attacked Wan Cheng, Lu Su was the military advisor. After Sun Ce left, he became the head of the camp.
Two days passed. Although the wound on Liu Mang's buttocks was still bloody, Liu Mang was able to walk a little. As soon as he could get off the bed, Liu Mang could not wait to get out of bed and ran towards the camp in Hefei.
That was the place where the commoners who were under control and the military generals who had sided with them were located.
After entering the camp, Liu Mang discovered that he had underestimated Xu Shu. That day, the number of people in Hefei was not small. Liu Mang could see that there were more than a thousand people in the camp. These two days, Xu Shu had also changed the minds of many people. Some of them wanted to join Liu Mang's army. There were more than a thousand such people. There were more than three hundred scholars and more than six hundred generals.
Even so, there were still more than a thousand people in the camp under Xu Shu's control. Next to the camp was the City Guard's camp. Next to the camp was the Black Flag Army's camp. Now that Hefei City's defense was handed over to Gan Ning's navy, Gan Ning did not have anything better to do.
The two elite camps were stationed here to prevent the thousand people in the camp from rioting. One must know that there were three generals in the camp who could fight. There were also many scholars. If there was some planning, it would be hard to say. With the City Guard and the Black Flag Army, it would be double insurance.
After entering the camp, the first place Liu Mang went to was Wei Yan's tent. This guy was not a well-behaved master, so he was given a special tent.
Before entering the tent, he could hear a burst of trivial cursing. It was none other than the people scolding Liu Mang, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and the City Guard soldiers who beat Wei Yan.
Still not well-behaved! Liu Mang opened the tent door and walked in. Wei Yan also heard the commotion. He opened his mouth and said, "Who is looking for me?"
"Your grandfather is here!" In front of so many people, Liu Mang had to maintain the solemnity and etiquette of the King Of Shu. His mouth may be lax with Wei Yan, but there was no one else. Liu Mang only had Huang Zhong, Xu Shu, and Xu Sheng by his side. Huang Zhong and Xu Sheng already knew that Liu Mang had a poisonous tongue. His poisonous tongue was good for generals, but it was even better for scholars. Didn't you see Sun Ce's banquet in Wan Cheng? It was a vulgar way to deal with generals. Mom, dad, whatever you want.
Xu Shu was originally from a poor family. Although he was surprised by his lord's "eloquence", he quickly got used to it.
With these people, Liu Mang was more relaxed.
"His grandmother, whose grandfather are you?" Wei Yan was lying on the bed inside the tent. His buttocks were not lightly beaten. Originally, he was beaten forty times, but now he was beaten sixty times by the City Guard. It would be strange if he felt good. He could not sit up, so he could only lie down. Although Wei Yan had a doctor, he was not as diligent as Liu Mang. So in these four days, Wei Yan's buttocks did not bleed.
Wei Yan turned his head and saw Liu Mang's face. "It's you!"
"It's me, your grandfather!" Liu Mang walked in front of Wei Yan. Wei Yan was like an injured tiger. No matter how injured he was, he was still a ferocious beast. But Liu Mang did not care. Not to mention that Liu Mang was also a martial artist, Huang Zhong and Xu Sheng on the side. If these two people could not subdue this ferocious beast, then Liu Mang would not be able to control Wei Yan.
Wei Yan looked at Liu Mang awkwardly. One must know that he came here because of the recruitment order. His life in Jingzhou is not that good. He is almost 30 years old, but he is still only a gate guard captain. How can Wei Yan, a person with high ambition and boundless ambition, accept this position? But Wei Yan is not the son of a noble family, he does not have the wealth to open a path. His mouth is also very ugly, it is impossible for him to be put in an important position. So, he can only slowly endure in the gate guard position. Wei Yan is not the son of a noble family, he also does not have the wealth to open a path.
However, a recruitment notice sent to Changsha attracted Wei Yan's attention. Only the talented would be chosen! Wei Yan had a lot of talents! In terms of martial arts, Wei Yan had absolute confidence in the formation of troops. But in Jingzhou, he was just a small captain of the city gate. He only had a dozen people under him. How could he show his martial arts and formation of troops? Who would he show it to? Moreover, Changsha was located in the inner part of Jingzhou. It was not adjacent to Jiangdong, so there was no war. Heroes have no place to show their skills!
"How is it? How is your injury? "Liu Mang knew that Wei Yan was too embarrassed, so only Liu Mang could break the ice. "This is the Golden Sore Medicine. The effect is very good. You can try it!" Among the books that Liu Mang brought, there are some medical books that he wrote later. Modern medicine is based on instrumentation. No matter what you do, you will need to get an X-ray, MRI and other things. Without instrumentation, you will not be able to use it. Therefore, Liu Mang did not bring any of these books. What he brought were some books on traditional Chinese medicine and some descriptions of medicine for bruises. The Golden Sore Medicine was developed from those medical books and some old traditional Chinese medicine doctors who were more skilled in medicine at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It could remove blood stasis, promote blood circulation, and promote wound healing.
Liu Mang also knew that because Wei Yan was beaten 80 times, those Urban Army soldiers and Huang Zhong did not say anything, but in their hearts they were very dissatisfied with Wei Yan. It was good enough that they could stop the bleeding. How could they give him the Golden Sore Medicine that was circulated in the army? So Liu Mang brought it over.
"Stop being a hypocrite!" As usual, Wei Yan had a poisonous tongue. He questioned Liu Mang's good intentions. "Hmph, I was beaten up by you!" Wei Yan's face was full of dissatisfaction. He even wanted to sit up and hit Liu Mang. He could not help but hurt his wound.
"You all go out first!" Liu Mang smiled slightly in his heart and said to Huang Zhong, Xu Sheng and Xu Shu who were standing at the side.
"Little Lord! Let's go out. " The three of them were puzzled because Wei Yan's martial arts were not weak. Although he was not as good as Huang Zhong, he was comparable to Xu Sheng. Xu Sheng was not as good as Wei Yan because of his age. If they went out, Liu Mang's safety would be in danger.
"Don't worry! I am not a person without the strength to truss a chicken! "Said Liu Mang with a smile. Right now, Liu Mang is already a second-rate general.
"But!" Huang Zhong was still worried. He had fought with Wei Yan before. Although Wei Yan's buttocks had been smashed, this kind of injury wouldn't affect a general's fighting strength too much. One must know that this kind of injury was very common on the battlefield. After all, it was much better to have someone's buttocks explode in a bloody scene. Once Wei Yan went berserk! It is not that Huang Zhong is looking down on Liu Mang's skill in martial arts. Liu Mang is only able to fight with top notch generals when he is in a killing intent state. If Liu Mang is like now, Wei Yan will be able to defeat Liu Mang in less than ten rounds. Moreover, Liu Mang is injured.
"You all stand outside the big tent. How can he escape after injuring me? Han Sheng, are you doubting your archery skills? " Liu Mang is not worried about his own safety. He knows that Wei Yan will not be able to hurt him. Even if Wei Yan is crazy, Huang Zhong is known as the God of Archery. Even if Lu Bu wants to borrow an arrow from Huang Zhong, he will need to focus his attention, let alone Wei Yan.
"Yes! I got it! " The three of them left the tent. Xu Sheng and Huang Zhong were still carefully paying attention to the movements inside the big tent. Once something happened, they would rush in to protect Liu Mang. Xu Shu was much calmer because he knew that if his lord could put himself in such a dangerous situation, then he must be confident. Xu Shu did not know where his lord's confidence came from, but in his heart, he could not help but believe in him. Perhaps this was the charm that Liu Mang brought to Xu Shu.
