If he said that he traveled to Soochow or Cao Wei, Liu Chan would think a lot.
Is it because he is so troublesome that his father feels threatened? Did he want to keep his personal guards in his hands to prevent him from having dangerous thoughts? Yes or no……
However, here, Liu Chan almost immediately guessed what Lao Liu was thinking.
The old man just doesn't like the soldiers he trained!
Since he was designated as the successor, safety issues were also a top priority, so he wanted to arrange for elite soldiers to be handed over to him as personal soldiers.
Liu Chan believed that he had good intentions and was thinking about himself.
So thank him, sincerely and warmly all the way to Han Emperor Liu Bang!
If you really agree to this, how can you execute the plan?
No matter how elite the Bailian soldiers are, can they follow him to "make mischief" unconditionally?
The Battle of Xiangfan was about to begin, so how could he have so much time to cultivate their loyalty.
The loyalty of his soldiers cannot be demonstrated by words alone.
The treatment with no worries about food and drink, strict training and discipline, the information cocoon brought by food and accommodation in the military camp, equal treatment and concern for each of them, the worry-free family policy, and even the pension for those who died in battle...
Without any of these links, it would be impossible to achieve the current results.
It's a good thing for you, you just want me to start from scratch with just one sentence, right?
Liu Chan glanced at Zhuge Liang secretly, and Uncle Zhuge nodded with a smile that seemed to be casual.
I understand, this matter still needs to be discussed.
"Thank you very much, father. The soldiers I have trained are enough to protect me. There are not many elite soldiers in Baijie. How can we spend five hundred people just as my personal soldiers? I will forgive you for the difficulty in this matter." After saying this. Liu Chan bowed and looked like he was willing to sacrifice himself for the Liu Group's cause.
Although Old Liu still had the same poker face, he couldn't help but twitch his beard and nod, obviously very satisfied with Liu Chan's answer.
[Family harmony trigger]
[Liu Bei's favorability +3]
But this also strengthened his idea of replacing his son with personal soldiers.
Old Liu said happily: "Well... I am very pleased that my son has such an idea. You don't have to worry about the military strength. This matter has been settled."
Liu Chan was dumbfounded.
Aren't you very pleased? Even the favorability level has been increased, so you agree!
"Please, father, please take back your life!"
Um? Old Liu felt something was wrong. This kid didn't seem too polite. It seemed like he really didn't want the elite soldiers?
Old Liu, who always had a poker face, was actually very happy. He stopped showing off the score of the King of Hanzhong, pointed at Liu Chan and said: "The elite soldiers of Baijie, each one is as good as the ten personal guards you have now! five hundred!"
Old Liu stretched out five fingers, as if he was afraid that Liu Chan wouldn't understand.
"How many people do you know who want my father to hand over these elite soldiers to their disposal? You actually don't want to?"
Liu Chan didn't hesitate for even a second: "No."
It was as if what Lao Liu wanted to give him was a rabble, and his group of homeless bandits were the elite.
Treason!
Old Liu was so angry that he stopped talking and was breathing heavily.
Everyone present wanted to persuade him, but they couldn't open their mouths.
They are all close friends of Lao Liu and know his thoughts in their hearts.
It was such a major matter related to their son's safety. If they spoke for Liu Chan, if something really happened afterwards... it would be inappropriate.
Seeing that things were at a standstill, both father and son were stiff-necked and refused to give in. Suddenly one person spoke.
"My lord, why don't you let the prince show his strength before making a decision?"
Liu Chan looked up in surprise, only to see that it was Fazheng who spoke.
He cast a grateful look, and Fazheng nodded and smiled.
The kindness Liu Chan showed before was immediately reciprocated.
"This..." Lao Liu was in the honeymoon period with Fazheng at this time, and he hesitated when he heard this.
"My lord, what Fa Xiaozhi said makes sense. Liang Liang has been in Chengdu for a long time, and the young master's soldiers are indeed very good. Why not take a look?"
At the critical moment, Uncle Zhuge is still reliable.
"Brother, I've seen Adou's soldiers before, they're not bad."
"Yes, my lord, Yun Guan's troops are well-organized and have strict military discipline. They don't look like ordinary homeless bandits."
When Liu Bei saw that several people were saying this, he finally relented: "In that case, I'll see what's so special about your soldier."
Liu Chan was overjoyed and immediately bowed and said: "Thank you, father..."
"Hey, wait a minute." Liu Bei said, twirling his beard, "You can choose a few people, and I will order Chen Dao to choose the same number of people to compete with them. If you lose, you can follow the arrangements of your father, how about it?"
Liu Chan pursed his lips.
Aren't you bullying people?
But he knew Liu Bei's temper, and he had already spoken to this point, which was his biggest concession. It was useless to say more at this time.
"My son... obey your orders!"
After saying this, Liu Chan bowed, bowed his hands to the people around him, and left the camp without looking back.
As soon as Liu Chan left, Fazheng said: "My lord, the white soldiers are the elite of our army. They have been on the battlefield for a long time. How can the prince's soldiers be defeated?"
There is something wrong with him. If you treat me well, I will share my heart with you.
If anyone dares to mess with me, even if it takes ten years, I will find an opportunity to dig up his ancestral grave.
Liu Chan had never seen him before. Just seeing him appear here, he would treat him equally with Zhuge Liang and other former ministers and close ministers.
This not only shows Liu Chan's goodwill towards him, but also shows that the crown prince is a smart man.
Fa Zheng likes smart people.
So he still wanted to try his best. In fact, in his opinion, it was not a big deal.
Now that the troops are strong and the horses are strong, is it still necessary for the prince to go to the battlefield in person? If you are willing to lead troops and train them, just do so.
As soon as his son was no longer around and only the old brothers were left, Lao Liu immediately lost his composure.
At this time, he chuckled and said: "I just want to put some pressure on him and see how well his soldiers are training. I just said 'according to my father's arrangements', but I didn't say how to arrange it specifically?"
Several people looked at each other in astonishment, and then laughed.
…
After leaving the camp, Liu Chan immediately hurried back to the station and gathered all the 700 people he had brought with him.
He was not in as good a mood as some of the people in the tent.
For him, this competition is not as simple as whether to change his soldiers or not.
It is a major event related to the Liu Group and his own future destiny.
God is not as good as man. He thought he had noticed every aspect, but he didn't expect that Lao Liu would pose such a big problem to him.
After everyone had gathered, Liu Chan, with a stern look on his face, got straight to the point: "My father told me just now that he wants you to go out and compete with his elite soldiers."
The array of seven hundred people was silent, and no one frowned.
"If you lose, you will be replaced by white soldiers. Those who are unwilling to join the army will go home, and those who are still willing to join the army will be incorporated into the Chengdu garrison and will no longer be under my command."
After saying this, Liu Chan saw...horror in the eyes of the people standing in the front row.
Even for the first time in actual combat, I had never experienced such panic.
However, the array is still neat and quiet.
Discipline has become an instinct that is almost ingrained into the bones of this team.
"Brothers, I don't want to command the Bailian soldiers."
When Lao Luo, who was behind Liu Chan, heard this, his mouth twitched and he felt a little sour.
What happened to Bai Mingbing? Young Master, have you forgotten that I have carried the flag for you for so many years?
He didn't think there was anything wrong with replacing all the young master's personal guards with white soldiers.
"Defeat them for me! Do you have the confidence?"
"have!!"
The deafening roar caused the soldiers in the surrounding camps to look sideways, wondering what was going on.
Almost every one of the seven hundred soldiers stared with red eyes and burst into the most ferocious roar.
Without Liu Chan, they would lose everything they have today.
Money, food, food and clothing for the family...
There is even something called dignity, which I never dared to ask for.
It all can be summed up in one sentence - the hope of living as a human being.
If someone intends to take away this hope, they will fight tooth and nail... no matter who the other person is.
