Xuande

Chapter 142 What is Luo Yang Dingliu?
Liu Bei looked at the two strong men who followed Cao Cao, quite puzzled.

"Meng De, who are these two?"

"Let me introduce, this is Xiahou Dun, whose name is Yuanrang, and this is Xiahouyuan, whose name is Miaocai. They are both descendants of Xia Houying, the founding father of the Han Dynasty. They are from the same hometown as the Cao family. The Cao family and the Xiahou family have been friends for generations. He has a very good relationship with me, and both have courage."

Cao Cao patted Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan on the shoulders with a smile, and said: "This time you are going to fight against the Taiping Dao bandits, I can't go with you, but after thinking about it, I don't feel at ease, so I ask the two of them to come with you Go out and protect your safety.

Originally, I also wanted to choose some from the Cao clan, but the suitable candidates among the Cao clan were either serving as officials in other places or studying abroad, some were young, and some were not good at martial arts. People are the most suitable. "

Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan stepped forward and saluted Liu Bei.

"Meet Liu Jun."

Liu Bei was suddenly surprised.

"Mengde, this...Yuan Rang and Miaocai are your family friends. Following me on the expedition is full of dangers and difficulties. If something happens to them, I...how can I explain to you?"

Cao Cao shook his head.

"Xuande, if you are willing to give me a future for the Cao family, it is equivalent to giving a future for the Xiahou family. The Cao family and the Xiahou family have intersected for generations. Both are prosperous and both are prosperous. They are all willing to follow you to fight and protect your safety. of."

Liu Bei looked at Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan.

"You two, this..."

Xiahou Dun took a step forward.

"Don't disturb Liu Jun, I'm here willingly. Liu Jun's kindness to Meng De and the Cao family is as great as a mountain. I am honored by the Xiahou family. It is an honor to follow Liu Jun to conquer the thieves."

Xia Houyuan also took a step forward.

"I was not good at reading since I was a child, but I only practice martial arts. I have no other strengths. I am willing to serve Liu Jun on the battlefield. I hope Liu Jun will not despise us as rude."

Both of them looked eager and excited. It seemed that they really wanted to play for Liu Bei.

It's no wonder that the descendants of Xiahou's family are all involved in this job. It's such a good opportunity to get in touch with Liu Bei, a future star, through Cao Cao's network, how can they give up?

If they can get Liu Bei's appreciation because of this relationship, and Liu Bei's slight promotion and win over, such as allowing their offspring to be accepted as Liu Bei's disciples, life and death are insignificant.

Speaking of this, Liu Bei felt that he had nothing to say, so he accepted Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan to join.

Then he took Cao Cao's hand and invited the three of them to drink and chat in his mansion together to increase their understanding.

It was only later that Liu Bei learned that Cao had thought a lot about going out on his own.

Cao Cao is the eldest son, and his official position is higher than that of Liu Bei, so he is not suitable to fight with Liu Bei. However, the Cao family is deeply favored by Liu Bei. The Xiahou family bound together.

Cao Cao called Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan, two brothers whom he had played with since he was a child. Xiahouyuan was brave and fierce since he was a child. Ask them to lead Cao's elite servants to follow Liu Bei to fight, and protect Liu Bei's safety no matter what.

There are quite a few families following Liu Bei, but the Cao family believes that they have the highest status and must be different, so they dispatched fifty elite family members in one go, each riding a horse, good at riding and shooting, and raising their own equipment. They vowed to protect Liu Bei with all their might. safety.

Fifty elite knights, all the resources are allocated by themselves. In case of death in battle, the Cao family needs to provide them with generous pensions and care for their families. This expenditure cannot be finished in a few words.

Good guy, Liu Bei suddenly felt that when he was on the battlefield, it was definitely not only his own family who worried about his safety the most, but all the families who counted on him to make a fortune were also worried.

As long as they can protect Liu Bei's safety, these people are really willing to exchange their lives.

This time, I guess it is really difficult to die.

What is Luoyang Dingliu?
If it weren't for the absence of a reclining chair at the moment, Liu Bei would have to recline tactically.

This is the resource brought by status, and this is the resource that an officially recognized classic inheritance family can leverage.

Liu Bei has just started, and the Liu family in Zhuo County, Zhuo County has just started, and has not even been officially inherited, and the official position is very low. If this is the case, then how much resources can an old family like Yuan and Yang leverage?
Before the ruling order of the Eastern Han Empire completely collapsed, the energy of the Five Classics and Fourteen Family Laws was really terrifying.

Even though Liu Bei is young and has a low official position, he cannot legally mobilize more resources, but he is just a newcomer in the political arena, and he has already stood at the forefront of many people and has become an object they can't reach.

This situation, even a year ago, was not something Liu Bei could have imagined, but now it has become a reality.

So the path I chose before was so correct...

With the support and followers of so many people, of course Liu Bei himself couldn't stretch his hips. He took these followers to join Lu Zhi's army, and then matched with the recruited army of 1000 people, and then participated in unified training.

After going to the battlefield, the role of individual bravery will be reduced to a very low level, the strength of the group is the most important thing, and the most important thing is to understand the general's orders and act according to the general's orders.

Liu Bei has been on the battlefield and knows this very well, so he participated in Lu Zhi's pre-war training very seriously, and asked those who joined the army with him to also train in accordance with the requirements of the army.

They are willing to follow and protect themselves, Liu Xuande is very happy, but when entering the army, the military law is like a mountain, and if there is any violation of the military order, the military law will not be merciful!
A total of 450 seven people who followed him to the battlefield, mainly to protect him, swore to him to obey his orders, follow his instructions, and never do anything against the orders.

The rest of the recruits who had been drafted into his command followed suit.

Of course, their slogans are less sincere.

They mainly fight for money. If you have enough money, you can talk about anything. If you don’t have enough money, don’t blame the old men for putting oil on their feet.

People who trade their lives for money have very clear values ​​and views of right and wrong. They look at money in everything. Apart from money, there is nothing that can really move their hearts.

There is a tentative explanation for this matter, the military forces are intensively preparing for the war, but at the same time, the political whirlpool in Luoyang City has no intention of stopping.

Just as Yuan Shao was worried, although the Eastern Han Empire still had its own coping capabilities and coping mechanisms for major issues, it was not necessarily the case beyond that.

Political struggles must be carried out even in times of war, especially wars that may involve internal affairs.

Dealing with the Taipingdao uprising is one track, and liquidating Taipingdao's forces in Luoyang City is another track. This track is even more dangerous and terrifying.

why?
Because Liu Hong has already been appointed and announced to the public, it was this group of Taiping Dao thieves who assassinated him back then.

Therefore, everything related to the Taiping Dao bandits is no longer simple, not only there is a risk of being related to the rebellion, but also the risk of being related to the assassination of the emperor.

This problem is getting bigger.

But if this relationship is involved, it can directly connect you to the matter of assassinating the emperor back then, so that's okay?
