In the Xinye government office, Han Gang was attentively watching his master deal with all kinds of government affairs in an orderly manner. In the past few days, Han Gang had been learning everything that his master taught him with peace of mind. Generals Guan, Zhang, and Zhao often called him over to learn, but they only took advantage of the fatigue of his brain and took a break to balance work and rest.
Even though he couldn't make any rapid progress in a short period of time, Han Gang still gained a lot. With Han Gang's talent, although his progress wasn't fast, he would practice the basic movements of hacking, spear techniques, and riding horses every day when he had free time. His foundation was quite solid.
The only thing that he lacked was the Han Family's saber technique or spear technique that was suitable for him in the Life and Death Realm. Han Gang was smart, but being smart did not necessarily mean that he could really reproduce his own martial arts. Therefore, no one could say for sure what Han Gang's future martial arts achievements would be.
This was also something that could not be helped. Thinking that Master's words had already pointed it out clearly, if Han Gang was still like before, wouldn't he be a fool who knew his mistake and made a mistake? He was also a person with his own ambitions, and he was not willing to just be a common battle general in the army.
Just as Han Gang was thinking about something, Zhuge Liang explained calmly,"Although the administrative affairs here aren't very complicated, it's enough for Gang Er to see the big picture. If you don't handle the administrative affairs well, it will cause the hearts of the people to be unstable and the design to collapse. Although government affairs were small, they had to be treated seriously, but there could not be any fluke mentality.”
Listening to his master Zhuge Liang's teachings, Han Gang's face turned solemn. He nodded solemnly, indicating that he had remembered it.
At this moment, someone called out from outside the door,""Military Advisor, Jingzhou Young Master Liu Qi's army has already reached two miles from Xinye. The Lord asked me to call Military Advisor over.”
Listening to the words of the messenger soldier, it was not hard to tell that Han Gang currently did not have a position or status. This was not because Liu Bei looked down on Han Gang, but because he had wanted to reward Han Gang with an official position many times, but he had been stopped by Zhuge Liang. Firstly, Han Gang was too young and could not give convincing reasons. Secondly, Liu Bei had rewarded him with an official position in the army or an official position since he joined the army. These were all official positions with real power. To Zhuge Liang, Even he himself believed in " no merit, no reward ". Now, he even humbly accepted the position of " military advisor ". How could he just watch his disciple accept the official position that was criticized by others?
Although Liu Bei had no choice but to admit that he was a "substitute leader", even the most foolish person would know that Liu Bei did not take his words seriously. If Zhuge Liang was a "substitute leader", then who else could be qualified for this official position? Without a doubt, Zhuge Liang was expressing his determination to not accept a reward without merit. He had just served and did not want to give the old man in the army a chance to criticize him.
After hearing the summons from the messenger soldier, Zhuge Liang put down what he was doing and said to Han Gang,""Gang 'er, let's go. Follow me to welcome Young Master Liu Qi.”
After his master finished his instructions, Han Gang did not ask any more questions and quickly said,"Alright! Master, please."
The two of them followed the soldier and walked towards the government office. After a while, they arrived at the city gate. Except for some generals who were in charge of the city defense, almost all of them were there. Seeing Zhuge and his disciples arrive, Guan Yu smiled and shouted to Han Gang,"Yuqi, have you been practicing your martial arts these few days? Although you have a lot of things to do, you can't lose this martial art that can strengthen your body!”
Guan Yu's concerned warning sounded in Han Gang's ears, causing the latter to be startled. He did not dare to say anything and only replied,"I thank General Guan for your concern. I will not let go of my martial arts.”
Although Guan Yu felt uncomfortable looking at Han Gang's well-mannered manner, he could do nothing about it. He realized that Han Gang had been very respectful to him since that day. This was something that was understandable, but Guan Yu felt a faint sense of estrangement. Sometimes, Han Gang would even come to visit him, which confused Guan Yu. However, after thinking about it, Han Gang seemed to treat others the same way. For example, his third brother Zhang Fei, his fourth brother Zhao Yun, and some of the people who were familiar with him. Guan Yu put down his doubts.
Guan Yu smiled at Han Gang but didn't say anything else.
When Liu Bei saw Zhuge Liang arrive, he naturally welcomed him eagerly and began to chat about some political and military matters. Time slowly passed as everyone chatted.
In the blink of an eye, 15 minutes had passed. Not far ahead, a group of about 3,000 people appeared. One of them was dressed in scholar clothes, and his face was sickly pale, giving off a somewhat worrying aura. Behind him, a few soldiers were protecting the carriages as they rushed towards Han Gang's men.
Han Gang didn't need to guess to know that it was definitely some grain and weapons for the army. He said more and quietly waited for this team to arrive in large numbers.
To be honest, the arrival of 3,000 soldiers should have been enough to intimidate Han Gang. One had to know that Han Gang was a special force soldier in the modern world. He had only been on missions and had never fought any large-scale wars between countries. Usually, when he was on a mission, 800 people were considered a major event, let alone 3,000 people.
However, let's not forget that Han Gang had once led a small team to slaughter many enemies. Just based on the 8,000 soldiers that Liu Bei often practiced in Xinye City, it could be said that Han Gang had seen the aura of ancient soldiers holding weapons. Therefore, Han Gang did not care much about the 3,000 Jingzhou soldiers. However, he did not know if Han Gang, who knew that there would be a Battle of Changbanpo, could maintain his current calm when facing Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of troops.
Just as Han Gang was thinking about it, the person had already arrived in front of him. He dismounted and greeted,"Qi 'er greets Uncle Xuande."
Seeing Liu Qi's respectful attitude, Liu Bei hurriedly went forward to help him up and sighed,"Ever since the last time Uncle escaped from danger in Jing State, how long has it been since I last saw Qi 'er? Now that my nephew is here, I can really relieve the pain of my uncle's longing!”
Liu Qi was even more touched that Liu Bei did not mention the prince of Jingzhou, but instead called him his nephew. Thinking about the current situation in Jingzhou and his own situation, Liu Qi sighed at the coldness of the world. After the change in human relationships, he became even more cordial to his uncle.
Seeing Liu Qi's expression, how could Liu Bei not see it? He smiled and patted the latter's shoulder, encouraging him,"Since ancient times, there has been a need for the young and the old. I still need to pull myself together. I promise you that as long as I have a breath left, I will definitely support you.”
When Liu Bei said this in front of the two armies, it was obvious that he was expressing his determination. One had to know that Zi Gu's words were like water that had been poured out. Since Liu Bei had said it in front of so many people, he had to do it. Otherwise, who would believe him in the future? Who would still submit to him?
At this moment, Liu Qi was already speechless. According to his thoughts, it was not just his uncle's support. Many of the soldiers he brought this time were soldiers from the Jing State. Naturally, there was no lack of spies from the Cai Family. His uncle's words in front of them were obviously a warning to the other party. How could Liu Qi not be moved?
Seeing Liu Qi's expression, Liu Bei smiled encouragingly. He took the latter's hand and introduced him to Liu Qi,""Come, nephew, let me introduce you. You've seen most of the generals in my army, but you probably don't know this master and disciple.”
After saying that, he pointed at Zhuge Liang and said excitedly,| This was Nanyang's "Mr. Wolong" Zhuge Kongming. He was a great sage! Uncle must be like a fish in water to survive in this chaotic world!”
As soon as he said this, Guan and Zhang were a little jealous, but they did not say anything to undermine him. Zhuge Liang saw their reactions, but he only smiled and said,"Lord, you praise me too much. I'm afraid." After saying that, he did not continue this topic. He bowed to Liu Qi and said,"I am Zhuge Liang. Greetings, Young Master.”
At this moment, Liu Qi still looked surprised. After three breaths, Liu Qi greeted in panic,"I've long heard of Mister's great name, but unfortunately, I've never been able to see you. Today, I've finally resolved my regrets by meeting Mister in my uncle's tent.”
Liu Bei could tell that Liu Qi already knew about Zhuge Liang's reputation. He looked at the latter in confusion. At this time, Zhuge Liang explained,"When I was farming in Nanyang, Liu Jingzhou had summoned me to Jingzhou many times to listen to my orders. Unfortunately, I liked to travel all my life, so I never received any orders from Zhao.”
Zhuge Liang's words were clearly trying to save face for Liu Qi. Who could not tell? All the traveling and other things were just excuses. If Liu Bei did not visit him personally and was sincere enough, Zhuge Liang would probably say the same thing when he met Liu Bei in the future.
Seeing his nephew's awkward expression, Liu Bei secretly laughed and quickly changed the topic,""Come, let me introduce you to this young man.”
After saying that, he pointed at Han Gang and introduced him to Liu Qi,"This is Mr. Zhuge's disciple. His surname is Han Gang, and his name is Yu Qi. He is also a young talent who is not rare.”
Hearing Liu Bei introduce him, Han Gang smiled and greeted him,""Greetings, Young Master."
It seemed that Liu Qi only had a good impression of Han Gang. He smiled and said to Han Gang,"Yu Qi has an extraordinary temperament. He is indeed a rare young talent. I am Liu Qi. Greetings, Brother Han."
Although Liu Qi's attitude was very modest, he could tell that he did not pay much attention to Han Gang, who was still young. It was not strange to think about it. Although Han Gang was also dressed as a scholar, he was indeed not worthy of being called a teacher at his current age. Liu Qi was already giving him enough face by treating him with such an attitude.
Han Gang obviously knew his position, so he didn't mind. He smiled slightly and expressed his goodwill, then didn't say anything.
Everyone walked into the city while exchanging pleasantries, but they seemed to have thought of something. As they walked, Liu Qi suddenly had an awkward expression on his face as he whispered to Liu Bei,"Uncle, my father has been ill for many days. Now that the power of Jingzhou has fallen into the hands of the Cai family, I can be said to be in fear in Jingzhou. I'm afraid that I'll be harmed by the Cai family one day.”
As soon as Liu Qi said this, Liu Bei was also worried. He immediately said to Liu Qi,"Nephew, don't worry. How about I ask the military counselor?”
When Liu Qi heard this, he was pleasantly surprised and quickly nodded in agreement. Liu Bei did not dare to be negligent. He quickly walked up to Zhuge Liang and whispered something in his ear.
When Zhuge Liang heard this, he seemed to recall Liu Qi's attitude towards Han Gang. Zhuge Liang thought for a moment, then smiled and whispered to Liu Bei,""Call Young Master and ask Yu Yu Qi! I'm sure you'll gain something."
After saying that, Zhuge Liang smiled at Han Gang, who was being pestered by Guan Yu to ask about martial arts. Ignoring the confused Liu Bei, he said confidently," If I am willing to teach you a strategy, I believe you will have no worries about your name.”
Liu Bei seemed to be infected by Zhuge Liang's confidence. He walked towards Liu Qi and whispered something to him.
Liu Qi looked suspiciously at Han Gang, who did not know that he had been "sold" by his master. After a while, he felt that he had nowhere to go. Liu Qi respectfully said to Liu Bei,"Uncle, please help me arrange a quiet place after lunch. I'll give it a try!”
Hearing Liu Qi's words, Liu Bei seemed to want to see how Han Gang's strategy was. He nodded and smiled,""Yes!"
From then on, the two of them looked at the elegant and calm Han Gang in the distance and seemed to really have some anticipation.
Han Gang had displayed his powerful close combat skills earlier, but now he had displayed his wisdom in strategy. Dear readers, please do not slack off in your support, hehe! Thank you, everyone.
