In the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed. The time had already turned to the early winter of 194 AD. The weather in Xuzhou was still relatively cold. Xiao Pei's military camp was also converted from a tent to a shack under Yang Lei's urging. Although it could not compare to the so-called green brick houses, it was much warmer than the tents. Of course, all of this was the result of the joint efforts of the soldiers. After all, the Nine Mile Mountain was not far from their door. However, fire prevention was also a big problem. Yang Lei had repeatedly ordered him to do so. Of course, the military camp was an important place for fire prevention.
Yang Lei's riding skills had also improved a lot. En, he could now gallop on his horse even without the stirrups. Of course, if he were to fight on horseback, he would probably be swept off his horse in one round. As for archery, perhaps he had the foundation of shooting and using a small steel crossbow, so he improved faster. Only eight out of ten arrows could hit the target. As for whether it was a bullseye, uh, he still needed to continue practicing. The biggest improvement was still his level of literacy. After all, simplified characters were adapted from traditional characters. Although the traditional characters of the Three Kingdoms era were more complicated, there was still a foundation. After more than a month, he could already recognize more than a thousand characters. En, he had basically gotten rid of the range of illiterates. If he wanted to improve, it would take a lot of effort. As for the calligraphy, uhm, it was a tragic sight. Yang Lei still liked hard pens. En, it was the so-called quill pen. But looking at Jian Yong's disdainful eyes, he understood. Although Jian Yong could also see the benefits, from a scholar's point of view, he still maintained the orthodox position of the writing brush. Of course, he did not object to the soldiers practicing writing with this so-called hard pen. He even had a faint intention of encouraging them. After all, there were only a few people who could afford to buy ink, paper, and silk.
Jian Yong would write a letter about everything that happened in the Xiao Pei camp, describing the details of the matter and adding his own analysis. Then, he would send a messenger to Liu Bei in Xu Prefecture. From the beginning, when he ran to the Nine Mile Mountain, he cut down trees and carried them back one by one. Yes, he carried them on his shoulders. He followed the training methods of the later generations. Of course, at first, it was a small wooden block, but later on, it gradually became thicker. As for Yang Lei, he was made thicker from the beginning. With continuous practice, the barracks were gradually built. The soldiers 'endurance, balance, and coordination were also clearly increasing. What made the soldiers the happiest was that a few days ago, they could not resist Zhang Shan and Lin Feng's pleas. Yang Lei had also taught the second set of the Military Boxing. The soldiers of this era really could endure hardships, Yang Lei thought to himself. Their physical fitness was also extraordinarily good. Of course, for the sake of his living habits and nutrition, he changed his two meals a day to three meals a day. As for how they would get the extra supplies, they were looking at the Nine Mile Mountain at the entrance. There was a good saying,'rely on the mountain to eat the mountain, rely on the water to eat the water'. Moreover, there was the Si Water River in front of them. This era was still the best. There was no pollution and no major environmental damage. The birds and animals in the mountains and the fish and prawns in the river had become good supplies, not to mention that there were only about 200 people in this military camp. Every day, there would be specialized people hunting or fishing in the river. Of course, they would take turns. The night classes were the most lively. The professor's field had been moved from the school grounds into the shed, which was the first and largest. Yes, he wouldn't be shivering in the wind anymore. This was Jian Yong's first thought.
The Xiaopei Military Camp was quietly changing, and the situation in Xu Prefecture was becoming more and more stable day by day. Liu Guanzhang had already taken control of the military and had gained the support of the local clans. There were Mi Zhu, Chen Deng, Sun Qian, and Jian Yong for the civil side, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Guan Ping for the military side, Yang Lei who was training in Xiaopei, and Cao Bao and Xu Dan, the former generals of Xuzhou. One day, Jian Yong's letter arrived. Liu Bei opened it and saw the words: "Your Excellency, although Xu Prefecture is stable now, how many counties can your orders reach? To the north was Cao Cao, to the south was Jiangdong, and to the west was Yuan Shu. At this time, it was impossible to intimidate the subordinate prefectures without an army, and Xuzhou could not be defended without an elite army. Now Yang Jun Hou Xiaopei training army, outstanding results, why don't you personally invite him to train the army, in order to obtain elite soldiers. When the army is completed, the people of each county can be settled down, Xuzhou can be guaranteed peace, and the Han Dynasty can be protected to crusade against rebellion. Why didn't you come quickly? I bow." Liu Bei read the letter and showed it to everyone. Zhang Fei was impatient and said," Yang Lei is just a small fry. Why does Xianhe praise him so much? I'll just go and capture him. There's no need for you to go personally."”Guan Yu did not say anything, but he opened his phoenix eyes slightly. Although he knew that Yang Lei was talented, he was unwilling to let Liu Bei go personally. Moreover, Yang Lei was only a small military officer under him. At this moment, Chen Deng said,"Your Excellency, I think that it is enough to issue a military order and summon him here. There is no need for you to go personally."”Liu Bei was stunned and asked,"Why did Yuan Long say that?"”Chen Deng smiled and said," From Jian Xian and the letter, we can see that Yang Lei is a loyal man. Moreover, he is now the Lord's subordinate. He should be summoned by military orders." If it is any other great sage in the wild, my lord should personally go and invite him.”When Liu Bei heard this, he saw the approval on everyone's faces, so he nodded and asked Guan Ping to issue an official document ordering Yang Lei to come to Xuzhou. Some soldiers had already gone to receive the order.
Seeing that it was his uncle's order, Guan Ping hurriedly issued a military document to Xiaopei to transfer Yang Lei to Xuzhou. The soldier took the letter and rode straight to Xiaopei. When he arrived at Xiao Pei, he didn't go to the military camp but went straight to Jian Yong. There was no other reason. Firstly, Jian Yong was the most senior in Xiao Pei. Secondly, this soldier was sent out by Jian Yong, so he should reply to Jian Yong. When Jian Yong saw the military order and saw that it was to transfer Yang Lei to Xu Prefecture, his brows furrowed. He sighed to himself: Although Yang Lei is sincere in dealing with people, I can see that his arrogance is no less than that of the Second General. The lord did not personally come to invite him, but used military documents to recruit him. Although it was reasonable, it lacked affection. He sighed to himself, looked at the time, and headed to the military camp.
Yang Lei looked at the military order in his hand and listened to Jian Yong's analysis of the matter. He was a little excited. En, he used to manage at most 20 people, but now he had more than 200 people under him. From Jian Yong's analysis, it seemed like he was going to become the commander of Liu Bei's army. If he didn't have tens of thousands of people under him, he would at least be a senior colonel in his era. It seemed that he had to perform well. Jian Yong was observing Yang Lei. When he saw the excitement on Yang Lei's face, he heaved a sigh of relief. En, this meant that Yang Lei was still loyal to Liu Bei. As she thought about it, she became more cheerful.
In the military camp outside Xu Zhou, Guan Ping was very happy to see Yang Lei. The two exchanged a few pleasantries before Guan Ping brought Yang Lei to the city to meet Liu Bei. He went straight to the front of the government office, entered the courtyard, and came to the front of the hall. Guan Ping motioned for Yang Lei to wait for a while, and then he went into the hall. He saw Jian Yong was also here. It was Jian Yong who came here with Yang Lei today. Jian Yong first entered the city, while Yang Lei had to enter the military camp first. Therefore, Yang Lei arrived late, and Jian Yong arrived first. Liu Bei was chatting and laughing with everyone when he saw Guan Ping enter. He asked,""Ping 'er, has Yang Lei arrived?" Guan Ping didn't dare to be negligent and hurriedly replied,""Envoy. Yang Lei is waiting outside the door." Hearing this, Liu Bei's spirits were lifted and he quickly said,""Hurry up and invite him in." Guan Ping glanced at his uncle in surprise. He was caught off guard when he saw Guan Yu squinting at him. He panicked and quickly retreated. When he arrived outside the hall, he called out to Yang Lei,"Yuting, the lord wants to see you." Yang Lei was excited and could not help but tidy up his clothes. Although he did not tidy up his head, after all, this military uniform was really unstylish. Then, he followed Guan Ping into the hall.
When he came to the hall, he saw a person sitting on the throne. His face was like jade, his lips were like grease, and his forehead was slightly wide, as if his ears were protruding. There were two people standing beside him. One of them was eight feet tall, had a leopard head and eyes, and had a swallows and tiger beard. One could tell at a glance that he was a fierce general. The other was nine feet tall and had a beard two feet long. His face was as red as dates, his lips were as smooth as butter, his eyes were red like phoenixes, and his eyebrows were like silkworms lying on the ground. He looked dignified and majestic. There were another four people sitting below, one of them was Jian Yong. Seeing this, Yang Lei hurriedly knelt down on one knee and saluted."Subordinate Yang Lei greets the envoy and all the lords.”"Please get up quickly," Liu Bei hurriedly said. Yang Lei stood up. Liu Bei looked closely and saw that this person's hair was no more than an inch and he was more than eight feet tall. He was slightly taller than Zhang Fei and shorter than Guan Yu. He had sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. Although he was dressed as a general, he gave off a gentle and refined feeling. "Yang Lei, I heard Xianhe say that you have great talent, and Pinger also said that you have the talent to train soldiers." I wonder what you can teach me today?”
Hearing this, Yang Lei secretly encouraged himself. En, it seems like the first impression is not bad. Next, it's time to test my ability. He thought for a moment and asked,"May I know what Your Excellency is aiming for?"”When Liu Bei heard this, he thought, Oh, he asked a question in return. His tone was quite big. He must be either an arrogant and ignorant person or a person with great talent. At this moment, everyone was staring at Liu Bei, waiting to see how he would answer. Everyone was also surprised. If he was a warrior who only had the talent to lead troops, he would not ask such a question. It seemed that he was a man who was both civil and martial. However, Jian Xian and the previous letter said that he was literate with the soldiers. It seemed that he was not very proficient in writing. On the other side, Liu Bei was still thinking about it, so he replied,""My ambition. First, he hoped that the people would live and work in peace and contentment. Second, he hoped that the Great Han Dynasty would be stable forever. Third, he hoped that the country would be rich and the people would be strong, and that there would never be foreign invasions. I wonder what you've learned, Yuting?”After saying that, everyone agreed and looked at Yang Lei to see how he would answer. Yang Lei heard Liu Bei's ambition. Although he scoffed at the concept of a family, he knew that this was the era. Seeing everyone looking at him, he replied,"It's a blessing for the people. What Lei learned could be summarized in one word. Wen can lift the pen to stabilize the world, Wu can mount a horse to stabilize heaven and earth.”Everyone's expression changed drastically. This was too much of a boast. He was just a small military marquis. Jian Yong was also stunned. The person who had been learning to read from him a few days ago suddenly said such words, no one could stand it. Guan Yu opened his phoenix eyes. Zhang Fei's face was filled with anger. Only Liu Bei's expression remained unchanged, but there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
