Chapter 16 The Heart of the People
The next day, outside Xinye City.
There are two riders, one of whom is burly with a saber, in his early twenties, and the other carries a carved bow and a machete in his hand. He has a generous face and is full of energy.
At this time, Huang Zhong stroked his beard and squinted his eyes, and said, "There are so many people walking along the way, I never thought that this small town in Xinye would be so lively. It seems that Zhang Xiu is not a reckless man."
Wenpin nodded approvingly, "General Huang doesn't know that Nanyang has been through war for a long time, and the plague is rampant. It has already been empty, but this small city has such vitality. It is not much worse than Wancheng back then. It is really a great talent. .”
His ancestral home was Wancheng, and he had seen the decline of Nanyang in his early years, so he went to Liu Biao in Nanyang, but he couldn't use any of his merits, and he just became a centurion with his bravery.
"Let's go, and meet this person when we enter the city." Huang Zhong said with a rather indifferent expression.
The two rode forward,
"Stop, where did the two of you come from? Is there a way to guide you?" the centurion guarding the city said coldly.
"I am Zhonglang General Huang Zhong. He is Wenpin, a general of a hundred men. He was ordered by Liu Biao and Liuzhou Mu to be transferred under the command of General Po Qiang. Please let him go quickly." Huang Zhong took out the seal from his pocket and said in a deep voice.
"I have seen General Huang and General Wen. My lord has been thinking about it day and night, and has been looking forward to the arrival of the two generals. He specially told me to wait for the general to pay more attention. The arrival of the two generals today will surely relieve my lord's heart trouble." Respect Road.
"Oh~, Zhang Xiunian, what are we waiting for?" Huang Zhong raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"Forget it, lead the way ahead, and let someone see who the "old man" is, and specially ask the envoy to transfer someone here." Huang Zhong said, feeling very unhappy, because he and Zhang Xiu didn't know each other at all.
"The two generals, please."
In the city, the people's faces are glorious, without any sickness and paleness.
And the number of vendors hawking along the way is unknown, and there are voices everywhere.
This is all good, what surprised them the most was the patrols in full armor, with their heads up and their chests upright.
The difference is that the people in the city are not timid when they see this patrol team, but they are very kind, with respect in their eyes.
This is not pretending, but from the heart, such a performance is hard to see even at the feet of the emperor, such a family of soldiers and civilians is really rare.
"Old man, we are non-locals. I heard that General Zhang Xiu is recruiting troops here. I think I have some strength and want to seek a future. I don't know how General Zhang will lead the troops?" road.
"Young man, if you want to ask him something, this old man may not know, but since you ask Mr. Ming, then this old man will talk about it." The old man said excitedly.
"Ming Gong? Do you mean General Zhang Xiu?"
"Naturally, in Nanyang, who doesn't call him Duke Ming, and whose family hall doesn't have a tablet of Duke Ming's longevity?"
"Duke Ming cherishes the people like his sons, and treats us like family members. In such troubled times, instead of sending troops to plunder, he ordered his subordinates to help the victims with military rations and distribute good farmland."
"Duke Ming's kindness to us is like recreating. This old man has three sons under his knees. Except for the third son who died young, the other two sons were all sent to the military camp by this old man. He only wants to follow Duke Ming to fight in the battlefield and protect the country and the people."
The old man spoke passionately.
"Two generals, in such troubled times, there is no such wise person as Duke Ming. If the two generals are interested, they can worship under Duke Ming's command, and they will definitely be reused."
After the old man finished speaking, Wen Pin pursed his lips.
He was horrified, he had never seen such a man who won the hearts of the people, even though Jingzhou was rich and prosperous, the people still complained, why had such a scene never happened.
"Thank you, old man," Wen Pin clasped his fists.
Then the two of them thought about each other, and walked quickly to Zhang's mansion.
Shaoqing, in the mansion.
In the open-air courtyard is a large sand table.
The sand table is surrounded by mountain people from all over the world, as if Zhang Xiu is drawing a sand table map of Nanyang and its surrounding areas.
The rivers, water systems, mountains, roads, and cities are clearly marked on the sand table, and Zhang Xiu is discussing some details with many mountain people.
"My lord, two generals, Huang Zhong and Wenpin, are asking to see you."
"Huang Zhongwen hired? Hurry up, please come quickly." Zhang Xiu was delighted, and then said: "Forget it, I will welcome you in person."
At the gate of the mansion, seeing Zhang Xiu rushing towards him in a hurry, the two of them inexplicably added a hint of goodwill.
"Han Sheng, Zhong Ye, I've been looking forward to your coming, hurry up, enter the mansion for a while." Zhang Xiu excitedly stepped forward, grabbed the forearms of the two without any sense of disobedience, and strode towards the mansion.
"Uh, this"
The two had black lines on their heads, a little confused.
Isn't that too hospitable?
Quickly stepping inside, the two couldn't help showing surprise when they passed the sand table.
"General, is this the topographic map of Nanyang and Yingchuan? This is too detailed!" Wenpin raised his eyebrows.
Fortunately, Zhang Xiu did not leave, and solemnly explained: "Exactly, it has been several months since Cao Cao took Yingchuan, and his subordinates are prosperous in Wuchang, and he may march south soon. As the saying goes, knowing yourself and the enemy will not imperil a hundred battles, so I can only make plans early .”
"However, now that I have Han Sheng and Zhong Ye to help me, how can I be afraid of Cao thief?"
Zhang Xiu opened his arms, his voice was hearty, and the invisible trust made the two of them look sideways.
"General Xie's love is just for a certain achievement, how can he compete wits and courage with Cao Cao's powerful generals? I don't know what the general is looking for?" Wenpin asked.
"Haha, who is born to be a general? Although Zhongye lacks the experience of leading troops in combat, given time, how many people in Cao Ying can be compared with Zhongye?" Zhang Xiu praised without hesitation.
Wenpin trembled physically and mentally, what kind of appreciation is this?
"Zhongye, I have newly recruited five thousand soldiers. I wonder if you dare to lead the army?" Zhang Xiu said boldly.
"Five thousand?" Wen Pin was taken aback for a moment, then trembled physically and mentally, and quickly thanked him: "Thank you, my lord, for your trust, why don't you dare to hire?"
He voted for Liu Biao, he has been around for a year or two, but he is only a centurion, yet Zhang Xiu gave him an organized army at his own words, what a boldness this is.
In other words, Wenpin was directly promoted from the village chief to the mayor, spanning an unknown number of levels.
"There is no need for Zhongye to be polite. These five thousand soldiers will be handed over to you. In the future, you will love soldiers like your own sons and read military books well. Don't lose the lives of soldiers because of poverty." Zhang Xiu patted Wenpin on the shoulder and said earnestly.
Whether it is loyalty or military strategy, Wenpin is the best. When he was stationed in Jiangxia, he often fought with Guan Yu. He won more victories than he lost. He is really a good general.
After finishing speaking, Zhang Xiu turned his attention to Huang Zhong. At this time, Wenpin was in good control, but Huang Zhong himself had military merits, and his family background was extraordinary, so it was difficult for small favors and small benefits to make him die loyal.
"Han Sheng, I heard that you are very brave. You have a mountain knife that makes you superb, and the precious carved bow on your waist is even more powerful. I wonder how it compares to Xu Chu and Dian Wei?"
"Huh, it's just a chicken and a dog! If you see it, within a certain thirty minutes, I will definitely cut off the heads of these two fangs." Huang Zhong stroked his beard proudly, without any fear.
"Hey, how courageous. Do you know that these two are brave men, why dare to speak out?" Zhang Xiu asked, but he also saw Huang Zhong's current force value, 109, I am afraid that he can be tied with him now There are very few of them.
"If the general doesn't believe it, I can issue a military order. When he sees these two people, he will behead their heads and offer them to the tent." Huang Zhong said openly.
"Okay, if we fight against these two in the future, I hope Han Sheng will not forget what he said today." Zhang Xiu clanged and said:
"I will also send you 5000 troops. I don't care how to practice, but they must have the strength to fight in the spring of next year, at least not weaker than Zhongye's training division."
Huang Zhong glanced sideways at Wenpin, and immediately said: "How can a mere young general be compared with a certain one? But a certain one wants to meet the generals of Cao Ying, so why not agree with you."
Huang Zhong was guarding You County, and many times he pacified the bandits in the mountains. Needless to say, he was brave, and the most important thing was that he led the army and fought well.On the contrary, Wenpin's family name is unknown, so it is only natural to look down on him.
"Okay, with the help of two generals, even if Cao's bandits come with a million troops, what is there to be afraid of?" Zhang Xiu said proudly.
"Cao Cao may attack at any time, you should train your soldiers as soon as possible, and I will not entertain you two."
"Zhang Xian, take the two generals to the barracks to select soldiers and armors." Zhang Xiu raised his hand and ordered.
