Chapter 291

Four people were detained here today, namely sun Wang, Liu Wenxiu, AI nengqi and Li Dingguo.

They are all young officers, but they can't be called generals. They are all 17 or 18 years old, but they have made military achievements and become officers at the level of 100 family officers. You know, Zhang Xianzhong's old camp is actually equivalent to his family. The 100 families of the family army are not below the 1000 family officers of the ordinary army.

There are even rumors that these young and promising young officers may be accepted as adopted sons by their commander Zhang Xianzhong and trained to become the rising stars of Zhang Xianzhong's army.

This is normal in this era, that is, every general will adopt a large number of servants, and they will even let these servants follow his surname and accept them as adopted children.

In fact, this kind of adoptive son is not a traditional adoptive son, but a means to win the hearts of the people. It can be regarded as a means to completely bind everyone's interests together, because in this era, many things are executed. If the Lord general commits a crime, his relatives, entourage and adoptive son are also liquidated, so it can be regarded as completely binding both sides together.

There is no doubt that most of the generals in the army will go all out to cultivate them after they are accepted as adopted children by the Lord's general.

Moreover, this is not that the old adopt the young in the traditional sense. As long as it is his subordinates, he can adopt as long as he wants to win over. Moreover, this system is not unique to the Ming Dynasty. These things have happened as early as the end of the Tang Dynasty, that is, the local festival envoys, but they take all their confidants as their adopted sons, This made them work hard for them, and the two sides were completely bound together.

Liu Bu sent someone to inquire. Zhang Xianzhong hasn't accepted these people as adoptive sons. If he is accepted as an adoptive son, he will have a little trouble. That is to become Zhang Xianzhong's adoptive son. He must be one of the people named by the imperial court to be killed. He can't start and stop it.

If it is an ordinary general, it is different from officers and soldiers. He can operate from it. According to the practice of the imperial court, all these rebellious people are beheaded. It is not too late. However, Liu Bu wants to intercept some people, which is not difficult.

The enemy troops were defeated and captured by him. He has a great say in these people. Even he can regard these people as property, hand them over to battle prisoners, or intercept them all and become his own people. It depends on his heart.

Therefore, Liu Bu ordered him to escort these people to his eyes. He wanted to see for himself whether they were worth taking in. He wanted to know that these people in future generations, but the four famous generals known as the great western country, who were regarded as the iconic figures of the Great Western army, continued the prestige of the Great Western army after Zhang Xianzhong's failure to resist the Qing Dynasty.

When the four men were brought in, they were trembling because they had just eaten a full meal and were still big fish and meat.

You know, they have been hungry for two or three days. The officials and soldiers of the imperial court don't treat them as adults at all. Where will they be given food? They are all in prison. Many people are hungry and close to their backs, but suddenly greet them with big fish and meat, which frightens these people, because they have committed the great crime of rebellion. Wherever they go, they are the end of killing the nine families and executing them late.

They are not allowed to eat at ordinary times. Now let them have a good meal. If there is no accident, it should be a broken meal.

But there is also some improbability, that is, the officials and soldiers of the imperial court don't treat them as people at all. Even if they cut off their heads, they may not abide by the ancient custom and give them a decapitated meal. The officials and soldiers of the imperial court won't care whether they are evil spirits or full ghosts.

What surprised them even more was that they were escorted into the handsome mansion of the imperial court's military leaders and generals.

Although Liu Bu is only a guerrilla general, far from the general army, he now lives in the Fengyang general army house for office without hesitation, and no one thinks there is anything wrong with him in doing so. Everyone thinks it's natural.

At this moment, Liu Bu is working in Xingyuan, governor of Fengyang, where he lives. No one will say anything about him, let alone live in a general military mansion.

And everyone knows that what Liu Bu has done now is amazing. No matter how harsh the imperial court is, he will be rewarded with half a post. At least he should start as a chief soldier, otherwise it will be difficult to convince people all over the world.

Now, because Liu Bu is the only person who holds military power in the whole Fengyang City, and also the only person who owns the army and violent organizations, many dignitaries come to visit him every day, ask to see him, flatter him, hope to get his recognition and support, recover his land and rob his family and treasure.

These people used to be high-level people. If you put it aside, don't say you are a guerrilla general. Even if you are a general soldier, they don't look at you. But now, unlike in the past, after the toss of the roving bandits, they are much more sensible. They all know that the soldiers are the cattle, and the soldiers can make you look good.

Liu bu also knows that these are dignitaries who should not be offended, so many people can help and try their best to help, but if he flatters to serve, he will not serve, because his own self setting is that he is a rebellious rich second generation. If you speak well, he will naturally respond well. If you dare to put on airs and face for him, He won't dump you directly.

If Liu Bu dared to do this before the war, he would certainly be dragged out by these people in public to fight or complain, but today is different.

What's the difference? The main reason is that he defeated Zhang Xianzhong's army, captured Zhang Xianzhong alive and became one of the world's famous generals. As a world famous general, he has a temper and tyranny, which many people take for granted.

Since we know that he is a tyrannical and temperamental person, and others have great power in evil, others will certainly not provoke him.

This created Liu Bu's unique high position in Fengyang city.

At this time, sun Wang, Li Dingguo and others were escorted into the general military house, but they seemed a little flustered and afraid.

Because Liu Bu sat on the chairman of the general military office, and then the soldiers of the two classes were ferocious, and their eyes were cold.

After they went in, they hesitated and didn't know what to do. As a result, the soldiers escorting them behind kicked them directly on their feet, and they immediately knelt on the ground.

Liu Kang next to Liu Bu said loudly, "who kneels down and doesn't report his name?"

Sun hope they were still hesitating. As a result, they were kicked by the people behind them, so they immediately said loudly, "villain sun hope."

Sun hope is the eldest of the four. Even sun hope has signed up, and other Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu and AI nengqi have begun to report their names.

Liu Kang said loudly, "Dengzhou guerrilla General Liu Bu is here. Don't you salute soon!"

In fact, I don't know how many general soldiers are under the vagrant bandits, and there are more guerrilla generals, but this one in front of me is a big cow, so they don't know what to do. After all, this guerrilla general looks very awesome.

For a moment and a half, they didn't know how to salute to please the general.

Liu Kang said sternly, "kowtow!"

The four had to knock their heads repeatedly.

At this time, Liu Bu said slowly: "you look like a talented person. Why don't you work for the country? You'd better take refuge in the rebels. Aren't you afraid to kill the nine tribes and cut thousands of knives?"

Li Dingguo said to him, "the villain revolt is because there is really no one to eat. The tax collection of being an official is too much. My parents are dead. I can't live anymore."

Liu Bu pondered a few times and said, "you have been a thief for many years. You should have been beheaded with Zhang Xianzhong, but Ben will remember that God has the virtue of living well. Would you like to work for him?"

The status of the two sides is very different, and Liu Bu has no temptation, but directly export and solicit immediately.

The four did not expect that it was the general of the Ming army who defeated them. Guerrilla General Liu Bu openly solicited them. This was a surprise. For a while and a half, they didn't know what to do.

Liu Kang scolded loudly: "if you don't agree, do you want the general to wait for you? If you don't want to, you'll launch it immediately."

Sun expected the four people to be overjoyed and quickly said, "I'm willing, I'm willing."

One thing they are very realistic about is that if they dare to say "no" in it, it is estimated that the Ming army will immediately push them out and behead them. You know, the Ming army has been catching the leaders of Zhang Xianzhong's army these days. All those who commit the crime of slaughtering the people have been taken out and beheaded one by one. They are also in constant panic, I don't know when I was taken out by the officers and soldiers and beheaded, and I ended up in a different place.

They certainly didn't become soldiers for any ideals or feelings, not to mention their ambition to disrupt the world. In fact, they were forced to have no way, in order to make a direct rebellion.

So they joined Zhang Xianzhong's army and fought desperately. In fact, they wanted to live a better life so that they could eat enough. In the army of roving bandits, just like the officers and army, only soldiers who fought desperately could eat enough. As for others, they just managed to eat half full.

Now, after their defeat, they will inevitably be charged. If they can join Liu Bu's army, they will naturally be exempted from being prosecuted. It must be a very ideal place to go.

Unexpectedly, Liu Bu ordered people to escort them here. Unexpectedly, they wanted to attract them. They were overjoyed and expressed their loyalty to Liu bu one after another.
