Chapter 88 The Battle of the Counties (2)(1/2)

Liu Chuang just asked casually.

After all, being able to fight Xu Chu for five rounds before losing is enough to show that this person's martial arts are good.

If someone asks Liu Chuang what he needs most now?

Liu Chuang’s answer must be very simple: “Talent!”

Yes, talent.

People say that in the Three Kingdoms era, there were many talents.

But there are only a handful of talents who can use for him.

He hadn't discovered this problem before, and even felt that he had a lot of talents under his command. Yes, Taishici, Xu Chu, Guan Hai, Xu Sheng... Which of these people was not famous in the Three Kingdoms era? But when it was really used, he found that there were actually not many people available under his command. Yes, Taishici and the others were all very powerful, but you can't always let these people charge in the battle.

This is like asking a team leader to do the squad leader's work.

In other words, Liu Chuang is short of people now, and those who work at the grassroots level or at the middle level!

For example, the defense affairs of the counties just now were assigned, and it seemed that only Xiao Ling and Xu Sheng could be used. If they seize Qianzuo and Langya in the future, and even then capture Beihai and Donglai... so many territories and so many affairs, would it be possible that Chengdu must take care of everything personally?

Especially when Liu Chuang saw Zhuge Liang, he felt even more intense.

Later generations said where Zhuge Liang’s failure was?

Isn’t it just his shortcomings that he always has to do everything in detail?

Top general? As for now, Liu Chuang no longer needs...or, he can't find him. He needs the kind of middle-level general who can stand alone. Previously, he captured a Wei Yue in Pengcheng, but unfortunately this guy was stubborn. He would rather be a prisoner than serve Liu Chuang.

If it weren't for this, how could he let Xiao Ling go to the counties?

Xiao Ling is skilled in martial arts, is proficient in guns and horses, and has also learned a lot of things with Taishi Ci during this period.

But after all, he had no experience in this area. It was a decision made by the lame man to choose generals and make it a last resort. If Wei Yue was willing to surrender, then Liu Chuang would let him guard the counties without hesitation. At least from the present point of view, he is more reliable than Xiao Ling.

"The son's surname is Wu'an, and his name is a national character.

It seems that his right hand was seriously injured, so he couldn't exert his strength. But with his left hand alone, he could withstand me for five rounds... If his hands were intact, he could at least compete with me for twenty rounds. It would be a pity! But despite this, this guy is indeed a hero."

The surname is Wu'an and the name is a country.

Liu Chuang was stunned when he heard this. Isn’t that Wu’anguo?

Liu Chuang is not unfamiliar with this name.

Wu'an Kingdom... In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Lu Bu challenged in front of Hulao Pass. All princes came forward to face the enemy.

The book records: Mu Shun, the general in Zhang Yang's army, took out a horse and thrust his spear to meet him. Lu Bu raised a halberd and stabbed Mu Shun and his horse... A subordinate of the prefect of Beihai Kong Rong came out and said, "I have been in court for ten years, why not repay him for his death?" Rong looked at him, and the warrior Wu Anguo, who used an iron hammer to weigh fifty kilograms. Anguo came out and drove his halberd to meet him. After more than ten rounds, he cut off Anguo's wrist.

There is no doubt that Wu'anguo in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, his surname is Wu and his name is Anguo.

The three heroes fought against Lu Bu did not seem to have happened, and Kong Rong did not have a person like Wu Anguo under him.

The Wu'an Kingdom mentioned by Xu Chu is the duplicate Wu'an, with a single name and a national character. From this point of view, there seems to be no relationship between the two.

Wu'an is a common surname. If you trace its ancestors, you can go to Bai Qi.

Qin general Bai Qi was named Wu'an Jun for his merits, and his descendants later named Wu'an as their clan.

Chinese people often say "subject name", but in the pre-Qin period, surnames were divided into different parts and were not one. It was not until the Han Dynasty that surnames gradually became the same meaning.

Could it be that Wu'anguo is a descendant of Bai Qi?

But how did his hand get hurt? Why is his situation so similar to Wu'anguo in Romance of the Three Kingdoms?

Liu Chuang suddenly became interested and asked in confusion: "How did Brother Tiger know that he is a hero?"

Xu Chu smiled, "I heard that this person had the opportunity to escape, but because the Dongwu County Magistrate refused to abandon the city, he stayed in the county government office and wanted to die with the Dongwu Order. If such a loyal and righteous person is not a hero, how many people in the world can be called a hero?"

Dongwu Order? There is an affair!

Liu Chuang immediately realized that there must be a relationship between the Wu'an Kingdom and the Dongwu Order.

"Then Dongwu Order is still alive?"

"Haha, when I saw this person loyal and righteous, I didn't want to start a massacre.

Now Dongwu Ling is extremely family members, I took them in the inn by me and did not harm them. Meng Yan, isn’t it because he is interested in Wu’anguo?”

"Wuan, after the Qin general Bai Qi, I think there are some stories about this person.

I suddenly became interested, and I couldn't help but Wu'anguo and the Dongwu Order! Brother Tiger, can I accompany me to visit?"

“Which?”

"Of course it's the Dongwu Order!" Liu Chuang said, and asked again: "What's the name of the Dongwu Order?"

"Huang Zhen!"

This name is really strange, and Liu Chuang has never heard of it.

Bu Zhi hurriedly said: "This person is from Changguang County, Donglai County, but the specific situation is not clear.

I only know that this person has a good reputation for his official position. Since he was appointed as the Dongwu Order, he has praised him and the local people have also respected him very much."

"I see!"

When Liu Chuang heard this, he nodded and was about to go out.

But after taking two steps, he suddenly stopped again and turned around and looked at Taishi Ci.

Taishici said in surprise: "Young Master, don't look at me. My ancestral home is Huang County, not from Changguang. Although I had made a report on the county’s history when I was young, it was many years ago. Besides, I left home to take refuge in Liaodong ten years ago, and I knew very little about the people in Donglai County, so I never heard of it."

Liu Chuang laughed, "Ziyi, don't explain, I think you may not know this person either.

However, since you are from Donglai, he is also from Donglai, and now he is a prisoner, if you see your fellow countrymen, you will feel kind... Zishan also said that he is a good official and I have no intention of taking his life. So, why not let me go and persuade him to surrender on my behalf? "

"this……"

Taishici thought about it and nodded in agreement.

"This is not too difficult, I wish to go to the line."

Xu Chu said: "Young Master, then you still have to visit Wu'anguo?"

Liu Chuang thought about it and suddenly turned around and asked, "Kong Ming. What do you think?"

Zhuge Liang was stunned and looked at Liu Chuang in confusion. He really didn't understand why this chubby guy always liked to ask him about his ideas.

However, I still feel a little happy in my heart.

After all, although Zhuge Liang suffered from family difficulties, he was not as close as he had when he was in Yuzhang. He had to take on the burden of his family alone. Now, although he is lonely, he has no need to worry about his future life with Liu Chuang.

It is precisely for this reason that Zhuge Liang still has some youthful habits.

Liu Chuang asked his ideas again and again, which also made Zhuge Liang feel valued.

He pondered for a moment, and then said softly: "According to Uncle Hu, Wu'anguo is very stubborn and has a strong backbone.

So I think. If Mr. Liu, if you persuade him to surrender now, he may not listen. Since he can sacrifice his life for Huang Zhen, it means that Huang Zhen must have had a life-long friendship with him. If he can say that he surrendered Huang Zhen, it would be easier to persuade Wu Anguo again. Therefore, instead of going to see Wu Anguo now, it is better to wait for Uncle Ziyi to go and say that he surrendered Huang Zhen and then see him. Maybe this effect will be better."

Liu Chuang and Xu Chu immediately pulled their faces down.

It doesn't matter if you call Uncle Taishici. Just look at his beard and you will know that he is not young.

But……

Xu Chu turned his head and asked, "Zishan, do I look very old?"

Liu Chuang's face was even longer. He was originally the same generation as Xu Chu, but Zhuge Liang called him, and he was a generation lower than Xu Chu. He was so annoyed!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Huang Zhen, a native of the Changguang family of Donglai County, was named Bo Zuo.

According to historical records, this person was once a county magistrate during the Jian'an period.

In other words, this is a person who has left his name in historical books... However, countless people emerged in the Three Kingdoms era, and Liu Chuang could not remember them all.

That night, Taishi Ci visited Huang Zhen at night.

After learning that Taishici was a fellow villager, Huang Zhen relaxed his mind.

It turned out that Huang Zhen was also considered a scholar-official, but his ancestors were not well-known. His father had some friendship with Liu Rong, the king of Langya Shun of Langya, so in the third year of Chuping, Huang Zhen's father died of illness. Seeing that Huang Zhen had no support, Liu Rong appointed him as the Dongwu Order.

Unfortunately, the third month after Huang Zhen was appointed as the Dongwu Order, that is, in the spring of the fourth year of Chuping, Liu Rong died.

This made Huang Zhen suffer.

He is Liu Rong's man, so Tao Qian naturally won't reuse it.

Therefore, he sat in the seat of the Dongwu Order for four years.

Although Dongwu was in good weather and the people could live and work in peace and contentment under Huang Zhen's governance, they had never been promoted.

After Tao Qian's death, Xuzhou was in chaos.

Xiao Jian was Langya County and did not value Huang Zhen's life or death, but was busy surrendering to Cao Cao.

In short, Huang Zhen was full of resentment. After inexplicably becoming a prisoner, he became even more frightened and confused about the future.

After hearing Taishi Ci talk about Liu Chuang's origin, Huang Zhen was shocked.

Overall, Huang Zhen always had a loyalty to the Han Dynasty... Not to mention that the person who promoted him was Liu Rong. Liu Chuang had nothing to do with Liu Rong, but based on the relationship between Liu Chuang and Liu Rong's Han Dynasty clan relatives, Huang Zhen expressed his willingness to surrender without saying a word.
