Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin had no merit at all, and it was impossible for Liu Zhang to appoint generals and let them lead their own army. He could only slowly start from the rank of captain, just in time to discuss the issue of the naval army with Gan Ning.
The position of school captain is nothing to the current Liu Zhang, but to Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, who were born as water thieves, it is very different.
In the minds of these two people, it is no exaggeration to describe them as gifts!
"Xing Ba, we will use troops against Nanzhong soon. The navy must train as soon as possible. Jinfan Battalion will be needed to join the battle."
"As you command!"
Liu Zhang felt a little guilty for Gan Ning. He had just returned from Yangzhou, and it was a bit excessive to send him another mission before he went home to rest for a day.
But Gan Ning didn't think so at all. On the contrary, he was pleasantly surprised. The more tasks Liu Zhang assigned him, the higher the importance he attached to him.
Gan Ning joined Liu Zhang's staff for a very short time. How could he stand out if he didn't have extraordinary abilities?
"My lord, this is Liu Ye and Liu Ziyang, who is the same clan as my lord."
Liu Zhang followed Gan Ning's gaze and carefully looked at this talented person.
Liu Ye's appearance is really ordinary, and he would not stand out in a crowd, but his eyes are different, which makes people feel at ease when staying with him.
"Zi Yang, I have been waiting for you for a long time!"
Liu Zhang didn't know why Liu Ye chose to be loyal to Cao Cao in history, but he knew that at this moment, Liu Ye must have the dream of reviving the Han Dynasty.
"Thanks to General Wei for his respect, Liu Ye is really scared!"
Liu Zhang smiled and nodded, patting Liu Ye on the shoulder.
"Zi Yang, after we settle down, you and I can talk about old times again!"
"As you command!"
Liu Zhang didn't say anything, but Liu Ye was deeply moved by his words and deeds, and even the feelings shown in his eyes.
Liu Zhang turned to look at the last person, the wise man who surprised him the most.
"Zijing, I really didn't expect you to come to help!"
Looking at Lu Su's sincere smile, Liu Zhang felt unusually warm.
Lu Su doesn't look like a good old guy, but his demeanor gives people a very sincere feeling.
"General Wei admires it so much, how dare you disobey it?"
Ever since Liu Zhang called out their names in a familiar manner, Lu Su had been smiling at them.
"Hahaha, come on, let me introduce it to you."
Liu Zhang did not hold a grand welcoming ceremony, but he was very thoughtful, and those who followed him were all top talents under his command.
"These are my generals, Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, Tai Shi Ci, and Zhao Yun!"
After greeting each other, Liu Ye's eyes stayed on Dian Wei.
"Could it be that this Dian Wei is even called the Ancient Evil?"
Dian Wei, who was usually carefree, turned red at this moment, which surprised Liu Zhang.
"That's right! His courage comes from evil, and there are few rivals in the world! He once knocked Lu Bu off his horse!"
Lu Su focused his attention on Taishi Ci and Zhao Yun.
"I heard that General Wei has a battalion of cavalry called Wu Feng Camp. Who is the general of Wu Feng Camp?"
Taishi Ci took a step forward, raised his hands and looked at Lu Su.
"I am Tai Shici, currently serving as General Wu Feng."
"It really lives up to its reputation!"
Taishi Ci is tall, has a three-dimensional face, and his body exudes a sharp aura that makes people look at him!
"I heard that there is a general under General Wei. His marksmanship is unpredictable and it is difficult to find an opponent in the world. It must be this Changshan Zhao Zilong!"
Zhao Yun stepped forward slightly, not feeling any proud of Lu Su's praise, but still very serious.
"Mr. Lu is too complimentary!"
After introducing the general beside him, Liu Zhang stretched out his hand to the counselor.
"Zijing, Ziyang, this is my chief counselor. Don't drive Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe in Yizhou. Without Wenhe, I, Liu Zhang, would not be where I am today!"
When Liu Zhang said these words, Liu Ye and Lu Su were shocked again.
Is it Jia Xu who is too capable, Liu Zhang who is too humble, or both?
"Greetings, Mr. Biejia!"
Jia Xu was also very humble and quickly returned the gift, but his eyes showed deep gratitude.
Liu Ye and Lu Su were absolutely very important to Liu Zhang, otherwise they would not have stood at the city gate so solemnly and anxiously for half an hour.
However, Liu Zhang's purpose in introducing himself to the two of them was naturally self-evident.
"These two are also talented people in Yizhou, Zhang Song, Zhang Ziqiao, Zheng Du and Zheng are unknown. Now both of them are joining the army under the command of our General Wei."
The four of them greeted each other, but Zhang Song's eyes were filled with respect.
Liu Ye and Lu Su's eyes swept across Zhang Song's face countless times, but there was no movement between the two of them, and they were not affected by his weird and ugly face at all.
Based on this alone, Zhang Song has natural respect for these two people.
"Okay, as we all know, the State Shepherd's Office has prepared meals just for you!"
"Thank you, General Wei!"
The reception banquet was very sumptuous, and Liu Zhang specifically ordered all the good wine and meat to be brought out to express to the four of them that he valued them.
Although Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were rough people, they were also heroic and they soon became friends with Dian Wei and others. Gan Ning made great achievements this time, Liu Zhang was full of praise for him, and he integrated smoothly.
The civil servants were not as presumptuous as the generals. Lu Su and Liu Ye were polite, lowered their posture and took the initiative to toast. They also welcomed everyone who proposed a toast to them, and they quickly won the favor of everyone.
The banquet became more and more lively and lasted until late at night.
Needless to say, Liu Zhang was extremely excited as he had gained two tiger generals and two top wise men today.
All the stories about going south to the six counties and the barbarians were forgotten. The huge excitement had covered up all the sorrows, and he had already drunk himself unconscious.
Don't worry about Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, and Jiang Qin. With Dian Wei here, they will definitely not be able to walk out. In the end, they were all carried out by soldiers.
Even Zhao Yun, who had always been calm and never drank too much, was drunk. He staggered when he walked and almost fell to the ground with every step he took.
Lu Su and Liu Ye deeply felt the enthusiasm of the Liu Zhang Group and were not left out in the cold from the beginning to the end of the banquet. The two enjoyed themselves so much that they finally went to rest with the help of their servants.
Almost everyone was drunk, and the most sober one was Zhao Yun.
This was also the first time since the pacification of Bajun that Liu Zhang and his ministers drank like this. Not only passion, but also a release of the heart.
Everyone knows that once the conquest of the six southern counties begins, it cannot be stopped and will continue until the final victory.
If the only civil and military person in the room who is sober is Yizhou Biejia Jia Xu.
Since Jia Xu was entrusted with the important task by Liu Zhang and succeeded Yizhou Biejia, Jia Xu has never been drunk. His brain will remain awake at all times so that he can make the most appropriate response to emergencies.
