Chapter 116 Difficult task
Zhao Yun and Zhang He each brought more than 100 plots. Half of the Zhao family's plots were cavalrymen, while Zhang He's plots were mainly infantrymen, nearly 80% were halberds, all holding a serpentine and a rival halberd. These more than 200 people were much stronger than the divisions brought by Liu Xiu from the Mao family. Not only were the equipment better, but the overall mental outlook was also one level higher. From this, it can be seen that the training level of the Zhao and Zhang families was much stronger than the big-headed soldiers like Dunwu.
This is a matter of level. Dunwu's martial arts are of course nothing to say, but training is not enough for personal martial arts, just like a good athlete may not be a good coach.
When Liu Xiu brought these nearly 500 people to Ningcheng, Xia Yu was surprised and happy and was in a very good mood. Liu Xiu took advantage of his happiness and said that Zhao Yun, Zhang He and the Mao family wanted to be commanded by Lu Min. Although Xia Yu was a little unhappy, he didn't care too much. He just said with emotion: "I am overjoyed to have the help of Mr. Lu, how dare I have a bad idea."
When Liu Xiu saw that he was sad and said, he felt a little sour. On the contrary, Xia Yu was very open-minded - perhaps because he was used to it - he explained the situation briefly and went to patrol the city. Liu Xiu wanted to see Wang Chan and Xian Yuyin, but after asking, he found out that they were accompanying Lu Min to get familiar with the situation. When Liu Xiu heard this, he hurriedly took Zhao Yun and Zhang He over.
Lu Min was wearing a scale armor and following Mao Qian, who was holding his bronze helmet in his arms. He was walking down from the city. While walking, he was discussing something with Wang Chan, who was wearing a bandage, Xian Yuyin, and his face was exhausted. When he saw Liu Xiu, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said loudly: "Deran, when will he come back?"
"I just arrived and saw the lieutenant just now. I'm here to find you." Liu Xiu looked at his armor and frowned and said, "Senior brother, there is no war. Isn't it heavy to wear this iron armor every day?"
"Of course it's heavy." Lu Min's voice was hoarse, with endless fatigue, but more strong: "I haven't adapted for a few days now. When the Xianbei people come, I even breathed when I put on this armor and walked. What else can I fight?"
Liu Xiu looked at him with both heartache and admiration, and attached himself to his ear and said, "The matter is done."
Lu Min smiled and exchanged a wink with Mao Qian. Mao Qian turned his face and turned his head aside. The joy came out of his eyes. He handed Lu Min's bronze helmet to Liu Xiu's hand, and quickly walked towards the Mao family's troops.
"Senior brother, this is Zhao Yi's younger brother Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong. This is the descendant of Liu Hou Zhang Liang. Zhang He and Zhang Yi from the Zhang family in Hejian are all righteous men who come to help their senior brother fight against the Xianbei people."
When Lu Min heard this, he understood it and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him. Zhao Yun and Zhang He did not dare to be negligent and expressed their admiration with Lu Min. Lu Min's words were mostly polite, but their words were real. Of course, they did not see Lu Min's face, but Lu Zhi's face.
When they greeted them, Liu Xiu turned around and frowned and looked at Wang Chan, and then looked at Xian Yuyin. Before he could speak, the two of them blushed. Wang Chan smacked his lips: "I'm so ashamed that I have almost no face to see you."
Xian Yuyin was also very embarrassed: "You said Huai Zong was very skilled in martial arts. I didn't believe it at the time. I thought it was a bit too much for you to break his legs. Later I realized that what you said was true. Hu Gou broke his legs and even strangled two knights guarding him. If his legs were not injured, we probably wouldn't be able to escape."
Although Liu Xiu did not underestimate Huai Zong, he did not expect that his martial arts were so high. Wang Chan was a war-torn soldier, and Xian Yuyin was also a proud and arrogant person. They said this in unison, and it was impossible for them to be false. "So powerful?"
"It's true." Wang Chan said solemnly: "He said that he will come to you soon. Deran, if you meet him again, you should be careful."
"Soon?" Liu Xiu remembered what Feng Xue said, and was a little unsure. Huai Zong is really Xiaoqiang. While thinking, he introduced Zhao Yun and Zhang He to them. Everyone was about the same age and became familiar with each other soon.
"Deran, who is this woman?" Wang Chan glanced at Lan Lan who had been following Liu Xiu, and said with a wink: "A Hu girl is not enough. Where did you get such a beautiful girl? Your taste is really weird, but you like to bring guys."
"Shut up your stinky mouth!" Liu Xiu whispered to him angrily: "You are still boasting that you are a veteran, but you actually let a prisoner with two broken legs run away. The face of the captain was thrown away by you. If you had known this, you would have caught some slaughtered. It would have been better if you just cut it with one knife at that time. Now, it's better to leave a root of disaster for me. What do you think you should do?"
Wang Chan was ashamed and shook his hands repeatedly: "Deran, stop talking. The lord has scolded me. Not only that, the other brothers did not make me feel comfortable. They almost regarded me as a woman. Let me tell you that when I see Huai Zong again, I will be ashamed even if I fight for this life."
"Just you?"
"I can't beat him alone, but I have brothers." Wang Chan stumbled on his neck, "I don't believe it anymore. Can his mother's single person fight twenty crossbows? I'll poison all the crossbows. As long as he gets a little bit of it, let him be sad and go to his mother's Chishan to return to his position."
"This is also a solution." Liu Xiu nodded in agreement. There was no openness on the battlefield. Since Huai even wanted to kill him, he could not be prepared at all. Although there were fierce people like Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and Zhang He who were beside him, he still did not dare to take it lightly.
"Deran, come, I have something to discuss with you." Lu Min called Liu Xiu and took him straight to the lieutenant's mansion. He is now the chief of the lieutenant's mansion. Xia Yu arranged for him to work and rest on the side of the lobby where he listened to the matter. Mao Qian lived next door. When Liu Xiu was away, she was mainly responsible for Lu Min's daily affairs. She kept the place in an orderly manner, tidy and elegant manner. There was also an incense burner in the house, which was filled with unknown incense, which made people feel refreshed when smelled.
After sitting down, Mao Qian rushed over and prepared to make tea with a copper pot. Lan Lan quickly took it over and walked out quickly. Mao Qian did not fight, so he hurriedly sat over and asked Liu Xiu about his experience of returning to Taogu. Liu Xiu told the matter and finally said, "Senior Brother, Master Mao said that these people are all for you. He is still working hard. There are still two thousand stones of grain, and more than two hundred people are coming. You must prepare the military camp in advance."
"This is great." Mao Qing was furious and Lu Min was also very happy, but he just waved his hand and interrupted Liu Xiu: "Deran, I have been waiting for you to come back these days, and I have something to do."
"There are so many people here, what must I do?" Liu Xiu asked in confusion.
"Hehe, this matter... I really can't find a suitable person to do it, so I can only place my last hope on you." Lu Min put away her smile and her face became very ugly. He stared at Liu Xiu for a long time before saying, "The governor sent Li Jun to the comfort building, hoping that he and Qiu Liju will send troops to help, but... they said it was broken."
Liu Xiu was shocked and subconsciously raised his body: "I haven't even handled Li Ding?"
"Yeah." Lu Min's face was heavy, "Li Jun came directly from Baishan to Ningcheng and informed the school captain. The school captain was very angry and was going to launch troops to conquer the Nanlou at that time."
Liu Xiu rolled his eyes and thought to himself that Xia Yu wouldn't be so stupid. He was probably doing it again, and then he put Lu Min, a silly scholar. "Then did the senior brother persuade him?"
Lu Min was very embarrassed.
Liu Xiu scratched his eyebrows, suddenly turned his head and said to Mao Qian, "I said sister-in-law, what you promised me will not change your mind, right?"
Mao Qian was stunned, then shy and annoyed: "You can still think about this at this time, and you first think about whether you can convince Nanlou or not."
