Liu Bei and his party still had a heavy responsibility to shoulder, and they had to hurry to Ye City and the capital.
Therefore, he spent half the afternoon at the Zhen family's house drinking and taking a break.
Another night was already the limit.
"Brother is finally awake. Everything has been settled.”Li Tian whispered in his ear.
Liu Bei was stunned, then he sighed in admiration,"
"Is it really settled? Sigh, she was just pretending to be asleep. She didn't expect that she would really fall asleep after drinking too much.”
"Boya is so efficient. I don't worry about you. How much did the Zhen family promise?”
As Li Tian reported, he brought a bowl of dogwood sour and spicy hangover soup to Liu Bei's mouth."
"Donate 10 million yuan to help the army!"
"Moreover, you can also give us a batch of military supplies at a low price.”
"Zhen Yan didn't say it clearly, but I guess Zhang Chun didn't have the time to take the goods away after paying the deposit.”
Liu Bei was completely shocked.
"So many?"
"How?"
"Boya, you really are…the tongue of Yi, Qin!”
Li Tian smiled and said,"
"Not only is it a lot of money, but it's also paid quickly."
"While Elder Brother was still drunk, Second Brother and Third Brother were already outside the city. They found a manor that the Zhen family had borrowed and erected a flag to recruit soldiers.”
"I did some calculations. With the Zhen family's money and our direct subordinates in Anxi County..."
"The county soldiers that can be gathered in the next few days have been defeated."
"It's not difficult to gather a total of two thousand troops.”
……
He heard that he might be able to gather 2,000 troops.
One-third of them were veterans, and Liu Bei felt very satisfied.
"We're finally going to rise up. We can't be arrogant and complacent!”
"The veterans I have are at most twenty percent of Brother Bogui's, and their quality is far inferior to Brother Bogui's uniform cavalry.”
Liu Bei hinted to himself.
After some mental preparation, Liu Bei finished drinking the dogwood fish soup. He stood up and dusted his clothes.
"Let's go, Boya. Let's see how Yun Changyi is doing.”
The two of them left Zhen Manor on their horses and went out of Wuji City.
Not long after they walked west, they arrived at a village in the suburbs.
Upon seeing Liu Bei, Zhang Fei happily came over to show off.
"Big brother, my appeal is not bad, right?”
"So many people came to apply!"
"I'm going to raise money here for a day!"
"Wuji and Zhen Ding are both small places. It would be good if they could recruit three to four hundred strong men!”
"After that, we'll reorganize and bring them to Zhuo County.”
"When we reach our hometown in Zhuo County, there will be almost two thousand people.”
Li Tian was worried that he might miss out on Yun Zhao, so he reminded her,"
"One day is not enough, right? Zhen Ding might not even have received news of the recruitment.”
Zhang Fei retorted,"
"Fourth brother, don't worry about military matters! That's not for you pale-faced scholars to care about!”
"Just now, we have already recruited two groups of local soldiers who came from Zhen Ding crossing the river.”
Zhang Fei had heard Liu Bei call Li Tian "brother" for two days and was used to it.
He would occasionally call Li Tian " Fourth Brother " to take advantage of him.
Liu Bei nodded in satisfaction.
It seemed like Li Tian's advice to him last time was finally effective.
He ordered in relief,
"Then we're not in a hurry tonight. Let's just spend the night here and not return to the Zhen residence.”
"We brothers are going to part ways soon. Before we leave, let's do something together.”
The brothers personally went into the recruitment process.
Li Tian didn't know much about military life, so he found a tile-roofed house and sat down on the porch to rest.
Looking at the bustling recruitment, the sky gradually darkened, and some big pots were set up in the manor.
Liu Bei instructed all the recruits.
Regardless of whether they were selected or not, they would be able to get a full meal.
……
After dinner, Li Tian saw that the sky was dark and felt bored.
He chatted with Liu Bei under the porch for a while before closing his eyes.
When she was in a daze, she was woken up by a commotion.
"What happened?" Liu Bei and Li Tian didn't know what to say.
"Marquis Zhang's men are fighting with two groups of recruits! It seems to be a conflict over the meal."
Amidst the chaos, Liu Bei and Li Tian quickly squeezed through.
In the crowd, a brawny man argued,
"County Lieutenant Liu fought bravely against the Black Mountain Bandits before.”
"If you go back on your word, won't you ruin County Lieutenant Liu's reputation?”
"Even if there are thousands of people eating here today, each of them will only eat millet and pickled vegetables. How much can they eat you?”
"Why do we have to show off our strength to get food?”
"How could it be easy for others to walk over ten li?”
Li Tian secretly observed and thought to himself,"
Wasn't this burly man Zhao Yun?
But it didn't seem like it.
He looked too…majestic and wild.
Well, there was a young man beside the burly man who was trying to mediate the fight.
He looked more handsome and seemed to know some martial arts.
Could he be Zhao Yun?
