Chapter 35 Zhou Cang

Outside You County, the army has been assembled, and Liu Qi and others are ready to leave at any time.

Liu Qi is making a final explanation with Liu Pan: "Brother Pan, the most taboo thing as a general is to be angry. If there is anything you don't understand after I leave, you can discuss with Ji Chang or ask General Huo. From today on, you are a general. Any decision you make is not only related to your life and death, but also to the survival of your subordinates. Don't be hasty. Although Ji Chang is about the same age as you, he has experienced more than you, and he should study hard. This county will be handed over to you.

Liu Pan looked solemn: "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely guard You County for you. Brother should also be careful when you go here."

Liu Qi nodded and looked at Huo Jun and said, "General Huo, my second brother is here for you. Please take care of General Huo."

"The general can rest assured that as long as I am still alive, I will protect Mr. Liu Pan. The last general wishes that the general will calm down the rebellion and return triumphantly as soon as possible." Huo Jun led a salute to a large official in You County.

"Let's go."

The army started and headed for Linxiang.

"Brother Yuan, do you think Pandi can guard You County?" Liu Qi was still worried about Liu Pan and came to Xu Shu to ask.

"Although Mr. Liu Pan is a little reckless at ordinary times, has the general found that it is often like that when he is related to the general? Mr. Liu Pan still knows the importance of other things. What's more, Ji Chang is the least able to protect Mr. Liu Pan. And Huo Jun is not a general person. Under his governance, the people of You County live in peace and have a perfect guard, which takes a lot of effort. From this, even if the Jiangdong army comes to attack, You County will not be lost for a while. And the news from the organization came that Huo Jun was personally appointed by the state herdsman and thought he would not do that rebellion. Xu Shu knew that Liu Qi was concerned about chaos. He knew Liu Qi's layout in You County. He could see Liu Pan's position in Liu Qi's heart from Liu Qi's arrangement.

Liu Qi nodded and was finally relieved. Thinking of Huo Jun's number of soldiers and horses in Changsha, he was a little worried: "Then Huo Jun said that Zhang Xian had at least 35,000 soldiers and horses. What did Brother Yuan Zhi think?"

Xu Shu nodded and said, "I think it should not be bad. This envy has been in Changsha for more than ten years, and its power is unfathomable. There are really not many 35,000 soldiers and horses for him. It seems that he knew Liu Qi's worries and Xu Shu continued, "General, don't worry, the marching war will never win if there are more soldiers and horses. This Xian's control of Changsha's soldiers and horses will definitely cause other people's dissatisfaction. Changsha must be a lot of contradictions. As long as we grasp this point, it is not difficult to deal with Zhang Xian. I have sent someone to Linxiang to inquire about the news. I think there will be news soon.

"What does Brother Yuan Zhi think of Gan Ning?" Liu Qi has never stopped being in Gan Ning's cage, but Gan Ning just doesn't let go. Although Wu Xiong has made some progress, he can subdue Gan Ning as soon as possible, and his men will also have more strength.

Xu Shu took a look at Gan Ning not far away and smiled and said, "General, don't worry, Gan Ning has long wanted to defect to the general, but he has never had a chance."

Liu Qi asked doubtfully, "How do you say this?"

Xu Shu smiled and said, "Although Gan Ning is cautious in appearance, he is an arrogant person on the inside. He has no credit under the general now. In the future, as long as the general makes contributions, he will definitely use it as a gift for the general."

Liu Qi was about to ask again, but he heard a noisy sound in front of him. Liu Qi accidentally asked Ma Zhong to check. After a while, Ma Zhong came back and reported to Liu Qi: "General, someone in front of us stopped our army and wanted to see the general. The sergeant was injured in conflict with him."

"Go and have a look." Liu Qi urged Ma and Xu Shu to come to the front of the team together. There was a big man standing in the middle of the road, as if he had been working a long way. The clothes had been scratched by the branches on the road, carrying a big knife. The big knife is covered with rust, and the blade is a little rolled, and there are many gaps.

Liu Qi looked at the person in front of him and asked, "Who are you?" Why do you want to see me?"

The big man looked up, and Liu Qi saw that he was tall but only in his twenties. He said, "Are you General Zhengnan? I'm here to join the army."

Liu Qi looked at the young man who didn't want to be Jing Xiang and asked, "I'm General Zhengnan. If you want to join the army, you should report to the barracks everywhere. Why are you stopping the army from advancing here?"

The young man said with a hateful face, "I'm going to go with you to beat Zhang Xian's old thief?"

Now Liu Qi was a little surprised to hear this tone. The young man seemed to have a grudge against Zhang Xian: "Do you have a grudge against that Zhang Xian?"

The young man looked a little ferocious: "He killed his father."

Liu Qi was a little confused. No wonder he was going to kill Zhang Xian. He looked at the young man and said, "You are not a Jing Xiang person?"

The young man nodded and said, "There was a war in my hometown, and the village was destroyed and there was no place to go. I heard that a man named Pei Yuanshao was recruiting people. I wanted to go to his place, but I didn't expect to meet my father on the way. My father took me in. Some time ago, Zhang Xian sent someone to Xiangyang to kill my father.

"Who is your father from Xiangyang?" Some time ago, the people who died in Xiangyang City were indeed related to Zhang Xian, but they didn't know who the young man's father was.

"Dad is the head of the prison in Xiangyang City." The young man said that he looked depressed.

Liu Qi nodded. Xiangyang Prison was robbed, and Zhang Yue was indeed robbed by Zhang Xian. Liu Qi has decided to accept him: "What's your name?"

"My name is Zhou Cang." The young man said.

"Zhou Cang. Your name is Zhou Cang?" Liu Qi couldn't believe that Zhou Cang was Guan Yu's personal guard in history, and his martial arts were extraordinary. Later, after Guan Yu's death, Zhou Cang also committed suicide. Liu Qi couldn't believe that the person in front of him was the Zhoucang in history.

The young man who claimed to be Zhou Cang nodded and said that he was Zhou Cang.

"Can you do martial arts?" Since Zhou Cang's martial arts in history are good, you can tell whether he is Zhou Cang or not by testing his martial arts skills.

The young man nodded and said, "I learned something when I was a child."

"Go and try his martial arts." Liu Qi said to Ma Zhong.

Ma Zhong came forward and pulled out his sword, and the people beside him made room for them. Zhou Cang also raised his big knife rudely and was ready to compete with Ma Zhong.

Ma Zhong did not take action on the court. He was just on guard and waited for Zhou Cang to take action. Zhou Cang raised a big knife and hit Ma Zhong's head. Ma Zhong raised his sword to block Zhou Cang's knife, but he didn't expect to be stabbed back a few steps by Zhou Cang's knife.

"What a lot of strength." Ma Zhong was shocked and was with Zhou Cangdou. Ma Zhong's swordsmanship is extraordinary, and Zhou Cang's strength is very strong. Both of them are incomprehensentable for a while.

Ma Zhong just learned that Ma Zhong's strength will no longer fight with him, but uses the flexible change of swordsmanship to attract the key to Zhou Cang, and Zhou Cang was a little panicked for a moment.

"Roar." Zhou Cang seemed to be annoyed by Ma Zhong. He did not defend but raised a big knife. He split the knife on Ma Zhong and wanted to fight with Ma Zhong. Ma Zhong stabbed Zhou Cang to death with a sword, and he couldn't get better. He had to collect the sword and swim around Zhou Cang to look for opportunities.

"Okay, that's it." Ma Zhong and Zhou Cang had to fight again, but Liu Qi told them to stop. At this time, Liu Qi had determined that the person in front of him was Guan Yu's personal guard Zhou Cang.

Zhou Cang's knife skills are fierce, which is the opposite of Ma Zhong's dexterity in swordsmanship, but if you really want to die, you really have a better chance of Ma Zhong. As long as you pull a little distance, you can easily shoot Zhou Cang with your archery. Zhou Cang's fierce knife is suitable for rushing in the army. In the army, people like Zhou Cang can serve as vanguards and disperse the enemy's troops.

"Would you like to stay with me?" Liu Qi asked.

"As long as I can kill Zhang Xian, I am willing to do anything." Zhou Cang said.

"Good. Zhengping, take Zhou Cang down and clean it up." Now Zhoucang is similar to that of a beggar.

Ma Zhong came forward and patted Zhou Cang on the shoulder and said, "Well, you can follow the master with me in the future." After saying that, he took Zhou Cang down to change his clothes.

Zhou Cang smiled and said, "Please give me more advice in the future." The two of them talked and left.

The army started here. Although the competition just now was short, the fierce fight still made the soldiers extremely excited.

"Brother Yuan, what do you think of this week's warehouse?" Liu Qi is still a little excited to think about it.

"Congratulations to the general on getting a fierce general." Xu Shu said with a smile. He saw Zhou Cang's bravery, and he was also happy that Liu Qi could accept such a fierce general.

"I'm going to send Zhou Zhou Cang to Brother Yuan. What do you think?" Liu Qi said with a smile.

Xu Shu was shocked and said, "A fierce general like Zhou Cang can only play its role in the morning army. Isn't it a great use to send him to me?"

Liu Qi smiled and said, "Don't worry, expedition brother. I mean that Zhou Cang usually stays with you and is responsible for your safety. As for how to use it, it's up to Brother Yuan to decide."

Xu Shu was a little moved. Liu Qi said that was tantamount to handing over an army to him. Zhou Cang could only play the greatest role on the battlefield, and Liu Qi gave him the decision-making power, which means that he wanted the command of the general team.

In these troubled times, who will give the foundation of standing to others even for a quarter of an hour, but Liu Qi's trust in Xu Shu can be seen in this way.
