Chapter 148 Self-recommendation
When Liu Chang returned to the mansion, he found a person standing at the door, a thin young man.
Liu Chang recognized that this person was someone he had attended before in the School of Success, but Liu Chang did not remember his name, only remembered that he seemed not particularly enthusiastic.
When Cheng Huan saw Liu Chang coming back, he immediately bowed to Liu Chang. When he saw Liu Chang not seeming to remember his name, he quickly said: "The last general Cheng Huan has met General Liu. I heard that General Liu was visiting friends before. So I specifically waited for General Liu to come back here."
Liu Chang immediately greeted him warmly and said, "Since I'm waiting for me here, then come in first." After that, he warmly greeted Cheng Huan and himself.
After the few people sat down, Liu Chang said first: "I wonder what's wrong with you looking for me this time?"
Cheng Huan first knelt down to the ground solemnly, and then said to Liu Chang: "General, I came here this time to imitate Mao Sui's wisdom. I hope the general can put my awl in his pocket."
Liu Chang looked at this young man who took the initiative to serve him for the first time since he started the uprising. He couldn't help but feel a little proud. Finally, someone thought he was willing to take the initiative to join him.
Zhang Fei also felt very fond of this young man, so he took the initiative to speak, "Brother, I think he likes him very much, so why don't you let him follow me."
Liu Chang nodded and said, "As long as Cheng Huan is willing, I will let him follow you. It depends on your methods."
After hearing this, Zhang Fei laughed for a while, and then said to Cheng Huan: "You might as well follow me, Zhang Fei, I am the strongest person under my elder brother. If you follow me, you will never lack the opportunity to make achievements."
Cheng Huan saw that Liu Chang and Zhang Fei were very friendly, and being able to be called brothers must be very valued. Since Zhang Fei took the initiative to invite him, it is a good choice to follow Zhang Fei. After all, he is a very new person under Liu Chang's hands and has never made any contributions. It is definitely not his turn to have any opportunities. But looking at Zhang Fei and Liu Chang's friendship, he must be able to get a lot of opportunities. As long as he follows closely, he will definitely be able to get a lot of contributions. Moreover, he is also very brave and must be a hero.
So Cheng Huan quickly bowed respectfully to Zhang Fei and said, "Then please take care of me more. I am very willing to follow General Zhang."
Zhang Fei laughed cheerfully and said, "Very good, you will never regret following me. I like you very much, and you will follow me from now on."
Liu Chang was also very happy to see the harmonious scene between the two.
Liu Chang said with relief: "Yide, you two should make achievements together in the future."
Zhang Fei patted his chest and said, "Of course, following me, Old Zhang, will definitely have a bright future."
Liu Chang looked at the confident Zhang Fei and looked back at Cheng Huan.
Cheng Huan immediately expressed his loyalty and said, "I should do my best to assist General Zhang through fire and water, and I will never refuse."
Liu Chang thought about it and asked again: "I wonder how the rest of the soldiers are doing these days? What impact will the words I said before have on them?"
Cheng Huan thought of the colleagues who were injected with chicken blood and replied: "What the general said was like a enlightenment to us. We were all very encouraged and decided to follow the general to do something. So today I came to show the general my talents. I wonder if General Liu and General Zhang had anything to take the exam for me?"
Liu Chang was a little puzzled. He had never seen you so enthusiastic before. Is this person actually a person with a rich heart?
Zhang Fei said bluntly: "I don't have anything to take the exam now. Let's start working with me tomorrow."
A few days later, Liu Chang visited Tian Feng with a gift again.
After seeing Liu Chang, Tian Feng said, "I thank General Liu for his value on me, but I still have some questions that I hope the general can answer me so that I can make a decision."
Liu Chang quickly replied: "Sir, I'm right, I know everything."
Tian Feng nodded and asked, "What the general told me before will have many people taking the opportunity to do things. What will happen?"
After pondering for a while, Liu Chang said: "The imperial power is about to decline, and the emperor strengthened the rights of the governors and prefects in various local states. Next, these people will all become warlords. Once someone realizes that the noble emperor cannot actually control the world, those who are interested will immediately disperse their ambitions. The battle between King Chenliu and Shi Hou is that everything begins."
Tian Feng looked at Liu Chang with an indescribable look and asked, "I wonder what kind of person the general is going to be inside?"
Liu Chang sat upright and said, "I am naturally planning to be a person who can change the world's general trend, and a person who can make the world prosperous with one word."
Tian Feng also sat upright and said, "The General is really ambitious. I just don't know if the General has considered us scholars who have been greatly favored by the Han family in their lifetimes?"
Liu Chang smiled and said, "Maybe I am also a descendant of Emperor Gaozu?"
Tian Feng shook his head and said, "Although you call Emperor Gaozu, you have no respect in your words, deeds and expressions. This is not the attitude of your descendants towards your ancestors. So you just happen to be surnamed Liu."
Liu Chang said seriously: "The people are displaced, complaining from all directions, and the barbarians have repeatedly invaded. The destiny of the Han Dynasty has been like this, and it is not something you and I can change. Emperor Gaozu ended the tyrannical Qin according to the destiny, and now it is just that the reincarnation of the destiny has arrived. The noble people have been free from us, the lowly people for too long, and they don't know that we are also angry in our hearts."
Tian Feng shook his head and said, "If you just want to release your inner anger, I'm afraid I have nothing to teach you."
Liu Chang replied seriously: "When I lived in Zhongshan, I built water conservancy, encouraged farming, and reduced the exploitation of farmers. Although not everyone in Zhongshan County can eat a full meal over the years, no one can starve to death. I led my troops to fight against nearby thieves and repelled the nomadic people. This place is not suffering from military wars. I do not seek pleasure, I do not eat exquisite food, wear luxurious clothes, and do not take wives and concubines. I treat people around me well. Can't people like me do anything while they are at this time?"
Tian Feng said admiringly: "I admire the general's character and morality very much, but what's the use of a perfect person like the general to make us servants?"
Liu Chang thought for a while and said, "Don't you want celebrities to be like a person who has been around forever? Our lives will end one day. Even if the genius is like the First Emperor, it will end. Only fame can make people thousands of years later remember us."
The temptation to be famous in history was too great, and Tian Feng began to feel a little moved. But he didn't dare to make up his mind. He hesitated and said, "How can you know that the name we left behind is not a traitor?"
"If Liu Hou had been a follower of the First Emperor, there would be no name for Liu Hou."
"What do the general think we should do?"
"Nature is to build high walls, pay wide food, and be king slowly."
