Chapter 44 Eighteen years old
But everything you think is a cloud, and it is the king to take away the strong men.
Liu Feng generally understood Deng Fang's words. However, he was still a little confused. He bent down to Deng Fang and said, "I generally understand the meaning of the old man, but I am puzzled. Why is the old man willing to send the descendants of these tribes to join the army?"
"It's very simple. In today's chaotic times, there is no peace for a long time. Joining the army is also a good way out. And I also like you, just like you like my grandson named Deng Ai." Deng Fang's eyes were full of wisdom, he looked at Liu Feng deeply, and said with a smile.
Liu Feng couldn't help but admire the old man's wisdom. In the troubled times, there was only a short peace and no long-term Kang Tai. In the near future, the old man's words will come true. According to historical records, most of the tribesmen in Deng Village were wandering north like Deng Ai and went north to Wei State.
However, when Deng Ai mentioned Deng Ai, Liu Feng deliberately ignored it. Deng Ai's cattle herding, and the cow was Deng Fang's. It was not surprising that Deng Fang knew some of Deng Ai's things.
"Don't worry, old man, I will definitely not treat my clan members unfairly under my tent." Liu Feng bent over to Deng Fang and said.
"Haha." Deng Fang smiled kindly.
Liu Feng bowed to Deng Fang again and brought Xu Tian, who was listening quietly beside him, to Zhang Dao.
"Major General, my subordinates are incompetent..." Zhang Dao stood up in guilt when he saw Liu Feng coming. He couldn't let Zhang Dao finish his words, and Liu Feng smiled and said, "It's okay."
As he said that, Liu Feng took a step forward, replaced Zhang Dao, and stood in front of the crowd of strong men.
His eyes slowly swept across the bodies of these men. Some of them were wearing coarse cloth shirts, some were dressed as scribes and had cloth scarves wrapped around their heads.
The Deng tribe is a very large ethnic group, and of course there are differences in the rich and the poor.
While Liu Feng looked at these people, these people also looked at Liu Feng.
For those of Liu Feng and others, there are some curious people, some disdainful people, and some respect them.
What I was curious about Liu Feng's 18-year-old but came out to command the army. The disdain was also because Liu Feng was eighteen years old. In the eyes of some people, he was the type of person who was flawless and did not do things well. Of course, he had no future with Liu Feng.
What we respect is not because of respecting Liu Feng, but because of respecting Liu Feng's father, Liu Bei. This Zuo General who brought stability to Xinye.
Anyway, no one trusts Liu Feng's ability.
Even if they want to join the army, these people may choose to travel fifty miles to join Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei and others are unwilling to follow Liu Feng.
"I am eighteen this year. In gentle terms, I am the age of a young man, but I have to travel outside and recruit soldiers. I will go to fight to kill the enemy in the future. Why?" Liu Feng raised his breath and said this sentence with great pride.
Why?
Following Liu Feng's words, these strong men were aware of this problem. According to the principle, Liu Feng had a very good background, Liu Bei's stepson. There was a world-famous man on top, and a group of civil servants and military generals on the bottom.
Why do you need to recruit soldiers at the age of eighteen and kill the enemy? People will die on the battlefield.
Facing these puzzled gazes, Liu Feng did not raise his hands and shouted, but smiled calmly: "It's very simple, because I am a restless person, and I don't want to waste time under the wings of my father. I want to go into battle to kill the enemy and grow into a general like my father. This is my ambition."
Although it was very plain, Liu Feng's naked expression of his ambition still caused many people to be excited.
Although most of the people present like ordinary people, there are also one or two people who are not afraid of death and restless. They may not be due to ambition, but are just uneasy about the status quo.
These people listened to Liu Feng's words, and a feeling of identification arose from their hearts.
Are they really wanting to cultivate fields and work for a lifetime? The doubts in their hearts emerge.
This is what Liu Feng wants, he is to incite the restless people among this group of people.
Liu Feng pointed at his heart with his finger and shouted: "I am eighteen years old. I have not proved my ability and have never led troops to fight, but I dare to fight and kill. How about it, do you want to follow me and see if I can walk out of the army with a different path."
To be honest, Liu Feng is not a man who is excited. He has a relatively calm personality. However, some words are not something that can only be said with enthusiasm.
Incitement is a speaking skill and a manifestation of ability.
In this regard, Liu Feng was born.
Looking at the group of strong men in front of me, there are those who are eager to try and look angry.
Liu Feng didn't feel anything yet, but Zhang Dao and Xu Tian, behind Liu Feng, had a feeling in his heart. There was a strong feeling that with this man, there would definitely be a bright road waiting for them.
Although Liu Feng claimed that he was incompetent and had never led troops to fight.
Zhang Dao, a senior minor official under Zhang Fei, and Xu Tian, a minor official from a noble family and very experienced one.
Both of them have this feeling, let alone these ordinary people in Dengjia Village.
One after another, more than a dozen people turned their impulses into actions and walked out of the group of more than a hundred strong men.
"Thank you for your trust." Liu Feng solemnly bent over to the group of people, and then Liu Feng turned to Zhang Dao and said, "The record is in the sect, each person is given 10,000 yuan. Those with offspring, regardless of the gender, will add 2,000 yuan if they have extra one."
"Believe me, you may die with me, but you will never leave any regrets." After giving Zhang Dao, Liu Feng suddenly turned his head and said to the more than ten people.
The infectious words once again aroused the ambitions of this group of people.
After a little hesitation, all the worries about Jiaxiao turned into firmness at this moment.
Following Liu Feng's order, Zhang Dao sat down again, unfolded the blank bamboo slips on the table, and wrote down the words Dengjia Village and other words first. "Go ahead." Then, he looked up and said to a Deng Village villager who was joining the army in response to Liu Feng's call.
This is a man who is over twenty or thirty years old. He is wearing a coarse short shirt and is very rough. He first glanced at Liu Feng, with a restless ambition in his eyes. Then he stepped forward and said, "Deng Guang."
"How many children do you have in your family?" Zhang Dao asked as Liu Feng's instructions.
"Two sons and three daughters." Deng Guang replied rudely.
"Come, come and get 20,000 yuan." Zhang Dao turned around and sang to Xu Tian.
"No." Xu Tian nodded solemnly, took more than ten capable soldiers brought by Liu Feng this time to withdraw money, and sent it to Deng Guang in front of everyone.
At this time, Liu Feng next to him said, "Take the money back home, you will be at home for three days, and then this report will be reported three days later."
"Major General Xie." Deng Guang was a little worried about his family. He was overjoyed when he heard this and said gratefully to Liu Feng.
Although he was going here to make a fortune, Deng Guang, who was already quite young, also knew that the battlefield was dangerous and people would die. He had only three days left to spend with his family, which was really urgent. After thanking Liu Feng, he immediately turned around and left.
"Next." After Deng Guang left, Zhang Dao said loudly.
I swept my forehead and felt anxious, feeling quite energetic.
