Chapter 16 What the People Want

The next day, outside Xinye Castle.

Two people and two riders, one is tall and burly, with a sword, about the early twenties, the other is carrying a treasure bow and carrying a hilt in his hand. He has a generous face and is energetic.

At this time, Huang Zhong stroked his beard and narrowed his eyes and said, "There are so many people along the way. I didn't expect that this small town of Xinye is so lively. It seems that Zhang Xiu is not a reckless man."

Wen Pin nodded with approval, "General Huang is not aware of what it is. Nanyang has been through war and plagues are rampant, and nine out of ten houses have been empty. However, this small city has such vitality, which is no less than Wancheng back then. He is really a talented person."

His ancestral home is Wancheng. In his early years, he had seen the decline of Nanyang, so Liu Biao in Nantou was unable to use his achievements. He just relied on his courage to become a centurion.

"Let's go, and come into the city to meet this person." Huang Zhong said indifferently.

The two of them walked forward,

"Stop, where are you two from? Is there a way to guide you?" said the centurion guarding the city coldly.

"I am Huang Zhong, the general of the Central Army. He is a hundred generals. He is ordered by Liu Biao and Liuzhou governor to be transferred to the command of General Po Qiang. He has not moved away quickly." Huang Zhong took out the seal from his arms and said in a deep voice.

"I have met General Huang and General Wen. My lord thought about it day and night, and was always looking forward to the arrival of the two generals. I specially told me to wait for the generals to pay more attention. Today, the arrival of the two generals will definitely relieve my lord's heart." The guard said respectfully.

"Oh~, what do Zhang Xiu misses us?" Huang Zhong raised his eyebrows and was surprised.

"Well, I'll lead the way and let someone see what "old friend" it is. I specially asked the envoy to transfer someone to this place." Huang Zhong said, not happy because he and Zhang Xiu didn't know anything at all.

"Please come from the two generals."

In the city, the people are glorious and are not morbid and pale.

The vendors who were selling along the way were unknown, and there were crowds of people everywhere.

This was all right. What surprised them the most was the patrol team with neat armor and straightened their heads and chests.

What's different is that when the people in the city saw this patrol, they were not timid, but were extremely friendly and had respectful eyes.

This is not pretending, but comes from the heart. Such a manifestation is hard to see even the emperor's feet. It is rare for the military and civilian family to be together.

"Old man, we are not locals. I heard that General Zhang Xiu is recruiting soldiers here, and he is proud of his own strength and wants to find a future. I wonder how General Zhang leads his troops?" Wen Pin led his horse and quickly stepped forward to stop a half-bian man and asked.

"Young man, you want to ask him about it. I may not know, but since you ask Dao Ming Gong, I will say it." The old man said excitedly.

"Ming Gong? Does it mean General Zhang Xiu?"

"Of course, in Nanyang, who is not called Ming Gong, and who doesn't have a tablet of Ming Gong's immortality in his house?"

"Ming Gong cherishes the people as his sons, treats us as his family. In such a chaotic era, he not only did not rob the troops, but instead ordered his subordinates to use military rations to provide relief to the victims and distribute fertile land in the house."

"Ming Gong is like recreating the kindness of us. I have three sons under my knees. Except for the three sons who died, the other two sons were sent to the military camp by me, hoping to follow Ming Gong to fight on the battlefield and protect the country and the people."

The old man spoke with excitement.

"The two generals, in such a chaotic time, no such wise man as Ming Gong, if the two generals are interested, they can be appointed under Ming Gong's command and will definitely be used with them."

After listening to the old man's words, Wen Pin pursed his lips.

He was shocked. He had never seen such a popular person. Even if Jingzhou is rich, the people still complained. How could such a scene have never happened?

"Thank you, my husband," Wenpin clasped his fists.

Then the two of them had their own thoughts and quickly walked towards the Zhang Mansion.

After a while, 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, just as Zhang Xiu is drawing a sand table map in Nanyang and surrounding areas.

The rivers, water systems, mountains, roads, cities and other cities on the sand table are clearly marked, and Zhang Xiu is discussing some details with many mountain people.

"Qi reported to the lord, Huang Zhong, the general outside the mansion, and Wenpeng, two generals, asked for their meeting."

"Have Huang Zhongwen been hired? Come on, please invite me quickly." Zhang Xiu was happy and then said, "Forget it, I will greet you in person."

At the gate of the mansion, watching Zhang Xiufeng approaching quickly, the two of them inexplicably added a hint of favor.

"Hansheng, Zhongye, I'm sure I've been looking forward to you. Come and go to the mansion for a while." Zhang Xiu stepped forward excitedly, grabbed the forearms of the two without any sense of incongruity, and walked towards the mansion.

"Uh, this..."

The two of them had a black line at the end, a little confused.

Is this too hospitality?

As they walked in, they couldn't help but feel surprised when they passed by the sand table.

"General, is this the topographic map of Nanyang and Yingchuan? This is too detailed!" Wen Pin raised his eyebrows.

Fortunately, Zhang Xiu refused to leave and solemnly explained: "That's right, Cao Cao has taken Yingchuan for several months. His subordinates have been prosperous and Wuchang, and he may soon be on the southern expedition. As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy will never be defeated. I can only make plans early."

"But now I have Han Sheng and Zhong Ye helps me, how can I be afraid of Cao's thieves?"

Zhang Xiu opened his arms, his voice cheerful, and the invisible trust made the two of them look sideways.

"General Xie is grateful for his love, but a certain inch of his achievements is achieved. How can he fight wits and courage with the powerful generals under Cao Cao? I wonder where the general is interested in someone?" Wen Pin asked.

"Haha, who can be born as a general? Although Zhongye lacks experience in leading troops now, how many people from Cao's camp can compare with Zhongye in the past?" Zhang Xiu praised without hesitation.

Wenpin trembled physically and mentally. How much praise is this?

"Zhongye, I have recruited 5,000 new soldiers. I wonder if you dare to lead the army?" Zhang Xiu said boldly.

"Five thousand?" Wen Pin was stunned, then his body and mind trembled, and he hurriedly thanked: "Thank you for your trust, so why don't you dare to do it?"

He joined Liu Biao and had been in trouble for a year or two, but he was the centurion, and Zhang Xiu actually spoke up and gave him a built-in army. What a courage.

In other words, Wenpin was promoted from the village chief to the mayor, and he crossed countless levels.

"Zhongye does not need to be polite. These five thousand soldiers are delivered to you. In the future, you will love soldiers like your sons and read military books. Don't plan to lose your life and lose your soldiers." Zhang Xiu patted Wenpin's shoulder and said earnestly.

Whether loyalty or righteousness or martial arts, Wenpin was the best. When he was stationed in Jiangxia, he often fought with Guan Yu, and he won more than defeated less, and he was a good general.

After saying that, Zhang Xiu looked at Huang Zhong. Wen Pin was easy to control at this time, but Huang Zhong himself had military achievements and his family was extraordinary, so it was difficult for him to die.

"Hansheng, I heard that you are extremely brave. A mountain knife makes you so amazing. The treasure bow on your waist is even more firing. I wonder how much you compare to Xu Chu and Dian Wei?"

"Hmph, it's just a native chicken and a tile dog! If you see, within thirty rounds, you will definitely kill the heads of these two fangs." Huang Zhong proudly stroked his beard without any fear.

"Cha, so brave. Do you know that these two men are brave enough to say a lot of men, so why dare to speak wildly?" Zhang Xiu asked, but he also saw Huang Zhong's current martial arts value, 109, and I'm afraid there are very few who can tie him today.

"If the general doesn't believe it, he can make a military order. When he sees these two people in the future, he will definitely beheaded his head and offered it to his tent." Huang Zhong said.

"Okay, if others fight these two people, I hope Han Sheng will not forget what he said today." Zhang Xiu clanged and said:

"I will also allocate five thousand troops to train you. I will not ask how to train you. However, they must have the power of a battle at the beginning of the spring of the next year, and at least they cannot be weaker than Zhongye's trainer."

Huang Zhong looked at Wen Pin sideways and then said, "How can a mere young general be compared with someone? But someone wants to meet the generals of Cao's camp, so what's wrong with you?"

Huang Zhong guarded You County and pacified Shanyue bandits many times. Needless to say, his bravery was the most important leader in the war. On the contrary, Wenpin was unknown and looked down on him.

"Okay, with two generals helping each other, even if the Cao bandits attacked one million troops, what are you afraid of?" Zhang Xiu said happily and bravely.

"Cao Cao may invade at any time, so he should train his soldiers as soon as possible. I will not entertain you."
