Chapter 4472: different options

"I'm just telling you something so that you can be on guard." Seeing that Sima Ju was on guard, Zhou Cang felt a lot more at ease. What he was most worried about was that Sima Ju had been paralyzed in recent years and hadn't noticed these things. Pay attention. It's good to have arrived. The inner energy that can command an army is out of the body, so it's not so easy to trick someone to death.

"Okay, okay, please leave quickly. I want to see who else comes to the door." Sima Ju greeted Zhou Cang angrily.

Relatively speaking, Sima Ju is not very familiar with Liao Hua and Zhou Cang, because this group of people is considered another group of Yellow Turbans. In addition, both parties did not experience Guan Hai's death together. It can only be said that it was more than ten years later. We have seen each other a lot and become acquainted with each other a lot, but we are not considered brothers in life and death.

"I'm just here to give you some advice." Zhou Cang didn't stay long and left just like that. He was following Guan Yu's order to give these people a vaccination to prevent them from falling into the pit.

After Zhou Cang left, Sima Ju half-slumped in his independent tent, waiting for people to come to his door. He believed that someone would definitely come today.

Soon someone came to Sima Ju with a bottle of lemon juice, and it was also an acquaintance.

"Ah, Brother Sima, drink this bottle of lemon juice and help me take a look at the camp. I know you can command a legion, so help me take a look. I have to go back to my siblings to see what's going on with my father-in-law's family recently." Xu He Before anyone came in, the sound came in first.

"Go, go, put the lemon juice here, and leave the bag of sugar you got from the logistics department here. I'll take care of your legion for you for eight months. Get out of here as soon as possible." Sima Ju watched Xu He peeking in from the door of the camp. The half body that came in gave a direct answer.

When Xu He heard this, he chuckled and prepared to take back the half-fan of dried Indian sacred cow he was carrying on the spot. He was reluctant to eat it. He didn't need Sima Ju's help anymore, so he took it out as a favor. Otherwise, this would He can eat this thing for half a year, this is the best Indian sacred cow!

"Keep the beef for me too!" Sima Ju said with a dark face, why do such cowardly friends exist, and why would he still be friends with him?

Xu He and Sima Ju had a real life-long friendship. Even in the official history, the two brothers plus Li Tiao were both unlucky children who were chased and hacked to death by Xia Houyuan, Zang Ba, and Lu Qian. They can also be regarded as among the Yellow Turbans. Better combatants.

By the way, the most important point is that Xu He, like Qu Gong, was the iron brother who hinted through others that Sima Ju was willing to adopt a son for this unlucky child after Sima Ju was completely numb. Moreover, compared to Qu Gong's eight cubs, In this outrageous situation, Xu He only had two sons. After the second son was born, he was willing to adopt his second son to Sima Ju as his heir.

So even though Sima Ju said that Xu He was a coward, this coward actually had something to do with him. So when Xu He showed up with a playful smile, not to mention he came over with a bottle of freshly squeezed lemon juice and asked Sima Ju to help him take care of his men. Even if the soldiers didn't take anything, Sima Ju would still help.

But since the other party came over with half a fan of Fengan Shenniu, of course it had to be his own.

"The hard-earned sacred beef took half a year to dry and make. I just ate two slices." Xu He put the dried beef on Sima Ju's table and took out a knife to cut two big pieces for himself. He didn't even have time to eat it. It was just dried. If it was really ready, Sima Ju should eat it now. For Xu He, Sima Ju was also a purebred and a coward.

"Go away, go away, this is mine now. Remember to bring me some gifts or something when you come back." Sima Ju said angrily.

"Then I'm going to get lost. I'm really interested in how my father-in-law's family manages the fiefdom." Xu He was not polite and bought some of Sima Jucun's fine fried tea from Sima Ju. After stuffing it into his arms, he noticed that Sima Ju had something wrong in his eyes and was about to make a move, so he was about to run away.

As he walked away, he scolded Sima Ju in his mind for spoiling his dried beef. He even looked wrong at him for spoiling two bags of tea. This cowardly friend would have to break up sooner or later.

However, Xu He ran away with the tea leaves and waited for Sima Ju to boil the water. He was going to drink tea and eat dried beef and enjoy it. Xu He ran back again, then pulled a chair and sat down with Sima Ju. Opposite him, he was waiting for Sima Ju to pour him tea, and then eat and drink on the spot.

Sima Ju stared blankly, but finally poured a bowl of tea for Xu He, then placed the sliced ​​air-dried beef on the table, and the two of them sat down to eat.

Xu He stopped what he was doing when he was half-way through the meal, sighed and said to Sima Ju: "There are some things that I don't really want to say, but I'm going to get out of here. If I don't say them, I'm a little worried that something will happen to you. , so there’s something I think I need to tell you.”

"Say it." Sima Ju calmed down the annoyance on his face and said to Xu He.

"Now I am taking advantage of you by saying that I will adopt my son to you, but I still have to say, you'd better arrange your heir as soon as possible. If I have anything to say between us brothers, I will speak it out. To tell the truth about my son, I will also I don’t want to give it to you. I only have two sons. If you want an heir, you should find Du Yuan or Qu Gong as soon as possible. These two people are trustworthy." Xu He said seriously.

Although they are cowardly friends, Xu He is really reliable. At least when it comes to Sima Ju, Xu He really thinks it through.

"I want two." Sima Ju told the truth. After all, sitting across from him was Xu He, a brother who had died decades ago. That was no joke.

Xu He's face turned green. Our three brothers told you about the adoption before, but you didn't follow up. It's because our three brothers only gave you one adopted son. You bastard. I only have two sons. I'll give you two adopted sons. I'm old. What to do with the Xu family's incense? Break off the relationship. We must break off the relationship today.

When Du Yuan arrived, he saw Xu He and Sima Ju wrestling fiercely. In the end, it was Du Yuan who pulled the two brothers apart.

"Ah, Lao Du, you are here. Just give me your military talisman and I will look after it for you. You should go back as soon as possible." When Sima Ju saw Du Yuan, he knew what Du Yuan was here for, so he gave it directly. answer.

"Ah, thank you so much, brother." Du Yuan was a relatively rigid person, with a cold face and a warm heart, so he thanked Sima Ju immediately after he spoke.

"Thank you, if you want to say thank you, why not adopt your son to me." Sima Ju said angrily. He really wanted to understand now. If you adopt one, there may be problems. If you adopt three, others may catch the flaw. , but there is no problem in adopting two people. At worst, after I die, one person will have half of the fiefdom, and I will extend the favor to myself, and the country will not object.

"Ah?" Du Yuan was stunned, then shook his head and refused, "No, no, Brother Sima, before my brother wanted to give you an adopted son, it was because he wanted to provide for Brother Sima to provide for him until he died. Now, that's because he is greedy. "Forget it, we also have a piece of the fiefdom. Although it is not as good as Brother Sima, one piece for each of my three sons is enough, so it is better to say goodbye. This is not good."

"Damn it, these days when I'm not good for you, you three cowards stick to me, and when I'm good for you, you three actually refuse. What's wrong with this?" Sima Ju's eyes were a little red, and he was dead Staring at the two of them, as for Qu Gong, Qu Gong had already gone to deal with the process at this time. If he was not here, he would probably be silent.

"You two go back and think about how to prevent me from being defrauded of my family property." Sima Ju pushed the two of them directly out of his camp.

Du Yuan and Xu He were both scratching their heads outside the camp. Back then, they had given Sima Ju a pension until the end of his life, which saved the man from having to eat any incense in the future. Especially Xu He, who only had two sons. I was so determined that I had to kneel down to my wife to get her to approve the proposal.

Du Yuan is relatively good, but Du Yuan only has three cubs, purely for the sake of brotherhood.

"Let's go and find Qu Gong. Damn it, why did he have eight children in six years? Is there any secret medicine?" Xu He and Du Yuan stood at the gate of the camp for a long time, and finally Xu He dragged Du Yuan away. Stay away.

All these scenes were recorded by the people assigned by Xu Shu, who were constantly evaluated and analyzed. Of course, some not-so-good things happened during this period, but at least they were within control.

"I can't tell who has a problem." Xu Shu looked at the records with a headache. Although all kinds of messy situations occurred, the performance of these people was at least in line with the performance of these people all the time, even if Xu Shu specially screened it. The few generals and colonels who came out with high suspicions did not show any difference from before.

"Normally, Guishuang's secret technique is not so easy to crack." Guan Yu said flatly, and then looked at Xu Shu, "Who are the generals who took the initiative to stay?"

Xu Shu handed the list to Guan Yu, "These people have basically decided to stay, but relatively speaking the number of generals who will stay is less than we expected. Will this cause any hidden dangers at the command level? Reserve generals are not qualified generals after all. .”

"It's not a big problem. Some of the remaining generals can serve as regimental commanders themselves, but they just gave up their responsibilities for various reasons." Guan Yu looked at the list and quickly found a group of old people. He is capable enough to be promoted to legion commander, but he was not promoted due to various reasons. Now he is just a temporary legion commander, so it is not a big problem.

"Do we have so many reserve army commanders?" Xu Shu looked at the list in surprise. Although it was compiled by him, are these generals and colonels with five names on them all qualified?

Xu Shu named these people out just to inform Guan Yu that these people might not be qualified.

"Yes." Guan Yu said calmly, "At least we only talk about battlefield command. They are definitely qualified. They commanded tens of thousands of people more than ten years ago, and have experienced more than ten years of front-line command. They command legions and It’s not a problem.”

This is actually what Kou Jundang said about the promotion path of the army commander, except that none of these people can be promoted, but because of the use of ultra-high-grade materials, they have accumulated amazing experience.

Now after more than ten years of fighting on the front line, the foundation has been completed. There is no hope of commanding a large army, but it is still no problem to command a reorganized army. After all, people headed by Li Tiao, Sima Ju, and Xu He have actually commanded the army before. Thousands of people.

"It's fine if there's no problem. I'm just worried that the army lacks command and Guishang will catch him." Xu Shu felt relieved after Guan Yu gave an accurate answer.

In Chang'an, Wang Ke relied on traveling day and night, working hard, being young and energetic, changing horses without changing people, and successfully reached the destination first. Even at this time, Liu Bei, who received the news and was inspecting the local area, did not have time to come back.

"I've met Chen Hou, Military Advisor, Military Advisor Guo, and Dr. Fa." Wang Ke almost ran as fast as he could. After passing the review, he rushed into the Political Yuan with the official document, and then saluted a group of people. That's right, Wang Ke knew all the senior officials present.

"You are running too fast." Li You looked at Wang Ke and frowned and said, "It's not like your inner energy left the body, why did you come back so quickly?"

"The first one to pass the approval, then work day and night, working hard, igniting the light of faith in every horse." Wang Ke said with high spirits, without any respect for Li You, and even some high-spirited ones mean.

"Okay, give me the official document and I'll sign it for you, but the captain hasn't come back yet." After Li You looked at Wang Ke, he felt that this stupid kid must have lost his mind and directly hit all his teammates at the same level, and then He ran back, thanks to being young enough. If he were older, he might have died suddenly if he was playing like this.

"Ah, does the Taiwei also have to seal it?" Wang Ke was stunned.

"Princesses have to be sealed, and they even have to use the imperial seal on public documents. Do you think this is a small matter?" Chen Xi glanced at Wang Ke and said, "By the way, is your father okay?"

"It's okay, I'm just aging a little fast, and now I'm taking care of my grandson at home." After hearing this, Wang Ke first shook his head like a rattle, and became more and more aware of how important this matter was, and then quickly answered Chen Xi's question.

This is why Chen Xi and others are reluctant to deal with General Ganghe, because Chen Xi really knows these people. Even if they can't call them by name, they can still feel that they look familiar. For example, the first one running back now is a few years younger than Chen Xi. Chen Xi really knew the young general, who was almost thirty years old, and could even name him. He even knew his father.

"Take your things and get out. I will fill in the rest of the process and go to your father-in-law. If they are dissatisfied with your research process, show this to them." Li You said A blank official document was given, but it was stamped with the seal of Yushi Zhongcheng.

"Thank you, strategist. Thank you, strategist." Wang Ke replied very excitedly. He thought he would have to wait here for two days for the Taiwei to come back to sign and seal. Unexpectedly, Li You took a shortcut.

How can we wait for such a big event? We absolutely can't wait. Every minute and every second is a waste of life. Wang Ke is ready. He will rush back to Mount Tai before tomorrow evening and take his own with him the morning after tomorrow. My wife rushed to Central Asia and reached the Zheng family's fiefdom in Central Asia in Xingyang within half a month. Study hard and do research. This is your own inheritance!

"I won't keep you here anymore. Your heart and soul have flown to your hometown now." Li You waved his hand to Wang Ke and said, "Go back quickly and take a look at your father for me."

Wang Ke’s biological father is Wang Liang. He is not a big shot, but he used to be a Xiliang cavalryman, and he is not a Xiliang bully. He followed Li You through Jincheng and captured the flag. When he was training new cavalrymen in Mount Tai, , Wang Liang is the gatekeeper of the camp.

However, Wang Liang had his arm removed by the Xiongnu Imperial Guards during the Battle of Northern Xinjiang. The technology at that time did not have the ability to reattach a severed limb, and Wang Liang himself did not have the talent for super-speed recovery, which resulted in him being directly disabled. With a seventh-level title, Retired.

There was no way. During the early Battle of Northern Xinjiang, when military honors had just been launched, most people had relatively low titles. Those who could reach the seventh-level title at that time were basically godly men. In fact, people like Zhang Yong and Li Huan were If this guy didn't kill the prisoners and lose his title, he would probably only have a seventh-level title.

As the son of Wang Liang, Wang Ke was initially assigned to Hua Xiong's command because of his father's military exploits. Later, he followed Guan Yu in the first group to go south, and he was considered to have made many military exploits. In addition, Wang Liang was considered a person in front of Li You, so Chen Xi and others Everyone knows this guy.

Although Chen Xi advised Wang Ke not to go to the battlefield, Wang Liang believed that the Liangzhou people had no future if they did not go to the battlefield, so he went to the battlefield in the end. Now he has a very good arrangement.

"If I remember correctly, Wang Ke's wife is the daughter of the Zheng family in Xingyang?" Chen Xi looked at Li You and asked. Chen Xi knew this because after the Battle of Northern Xinjiang, Wang Liang came to Li You with one arm and asked. Li You inserted his son into the blind date list.

Compared with marrying an ordinary village woman, the quality of the concubines produced by major aristocratic families is really good, and knowing the book and being courteous is not empty talk.

Wang Liang himself married an ordinary wife and gave birth to Wang Ke, and he didn't think there was any difference. But one day when his son was thinking about getting married, Wang Liang really felt that he had to marry someone who was knowledgeable and polite, who could change the situation. Wife of three generations.

So Wang Liang bit the bullet and went to find Li You, because among the people he could contact, only Li You could definitely get in touch with the person in charge of this matter.

Otherwise, how could Wang Ke, who was only twenty years old at the time, join a large-scale blind date ceremony that only elite centurions could participate in.

Although Li You is said to be cold-blooded, he can't be said to be unkind, especially when Wang Liang came to find him with one arm. After Li You scolded him, he chose to practice favoritism.

This is why Chen Xi thinks that although Li You is crazy, he is actually still humane. If he refused directly in this situation, Chen Xi probably thinks that Li You does abide by the law, but I am afraid that he really will not have a close relationship with Li You. It's Chen Xi's business to agree or disagree. At least Li You said it and tried his best.

So Chen Xi remembered Wang Liang and Wang Ke, and modified the requirements to allow older elite centurions to recommend a descendant to participate, but there were not many older elite centurions at that time.
