Three Kingdoms: copy Lu Bu's force at the beginning

"So it was Zhongqi who led the army." Gan Ning saw Deng Dang, dismounted from his horse, and greeted him with a smile.

Deng Dang hurriedly explained: "Brother Xingba, the leader of the army is not me, but my elder brother Deng Xian."

"Come on, brother Xingba, let me introduce you."

Deng Xian also strode over, stared at Gan Ning, cupped his hands and said, "General Gan."

Gan Ning also bowed his hands to Deng Xian: "General Deng."

The two of them had never formally met each other, but Deng Xian had met Gan Ning, so he recognized him.

After Gan Ning abandoned the thief and became an official, he was engaged in a civilian job, not a military commander, so there was no intersection between the two.

Immediately, Gan Ning introduced Xu Shu again: "Xu Shu and Xu Yuanzhi are engaged in Bingzhou Law Cao."

With the position of Bingzhou Mu, Hua Yu can reward the civil and military under his command.

Xu Shu arched his hands: "Xu Shu has seen two generals Deng."

Facao is definitely a member of the prefecture, although he is not from Yizhou, Deng Xian and Deng Dang also straightened their faces, and said, "I have met Mr. Xu."

As for Lu Meng, because he was wearing a soldier's clothes, both Gan Ning and Xu Shu regarded him as Deng Xian's personal soldier, so naturally they didn't need to pay any attention to it.

Gan Ning said with a smile: "Yuan Zhi and I have been ordered by our lord to meet General Deng and discuss the plan for this operation."

Lord?

Deng Xian's heart moved. From this title, it was enough to see that Hua Yu's ambition was not small.

The generals of an army, or the shepherds of a state, are all court officials, and civil servants under his command should also be court officials.

Since everyone is an official appointed by the court, it is natural to serve the court and be loyal to the emperor.

But Gan Ning called Hua Yu "Master", which means that Gan Ning is Hua Yu's general and is only loyal to Hua Yu.

Deng Xian glanced at Xu Shu again, thinking to himself, this person looks ordinary, but his gaze is profound and remote, he is definitely a wise man.

It has been heard for a long time that the champion Hou has gathered a group of people with extraordinary talents, and seeing him today, it is indeed true.

This person must have ambition.

But Dong Zhuo was able to control people like Hua Yu, no wonder this person was able to stay in the capital and control the imperial power.

Deng Xian asked, "Where is the fourth son of my family?"

Gan Ning said with a smile: "General Deng, just rest assured that the Fourth Young Master is safe and sound. After this matter is over, the Fourth Young Master can accompany General Deng and his party to go south to Shuchuan."

"Oh, I almost forgot. Before I came here, the Fourth Young Master wrote a letter and asked me to deliver it to General Deng."

As he spoke, Gan Ning took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Deng Xian.

"Thank you, General Gan." Deng Xian took the letter, took two steps outside, and opened it to read.

"Ah..." Before finishing reading, Deng Xian was taken aback, with an unbelievable expression on his face.

When Deng Dang saw this, he also walked over to watch it together.

Lv Meng was young and couldn't hold back his curiosity, so he also came to Deng Xian's left to watch together.

Seeing this, Gan Ning and Xu Shu thought to themselves, Deng Xian's soldiers are too unruly, do they really regard themselves as generals?
"Ah..." Lu Meng was young and his concentration was weak, so he immediately yelled, "The Fourth Young Master actually let Brother Deng fully obey the orders of General Gan and Master Xu, this... this..."

Deng Xian and Deng Dang naturally saw it too, and frowned together.

This is tantamount to handing over the military power of five thousand old soldiers to Hua Yu unconditionally.

Deng Xian thought to himself, the Lord Fu is really wise, he deliberately chose five thousand old people with a family, otherwise, if there is nothing to worry about, Hua Yu can easily control him.

After all, Deng Dang was young, so he immediately said angrily: "Brother Xingba, what the Champion has done is really too much."

"These five thousand old soldiers belong to the Yizhou Army, and they belong to the Yizhou Mutong."

"But Champion Hou was named Bingzhou Shepherd by the emperor, but he wants to covet Yizhou soldiers. Could it be that he has some ambition?"

Xu Shu opened his mouth and smiled slightly: "It seems that you have misunderstood something."

"Champion Hou has an agreement with the Fourth Young Master to borrow five thousand old soldiers to accomplish one thing."

"After the matter is completed, the fourth son will be able to lead the old soldiers to the south and return to Shu. The Champion Marquis has no intention of coveting the old soldiers."

Deng Xian frowned, and asked: "Dare to ask Mr. Xu, what is it?"

Xu Shu thought to himself, if he didn't tell them anything, he was afraid that Deng Xian would be dissatisfied, which would not be conducive to commanding the old soldiers to fight in the next step.

After thinking for a while, Xu Shu smiled slightly: "What is the specific matter is the secret of Champion Hou's plan, please forgive Xu Shu for not being able to tell for the time being."

"However, what I can tell General Deng is that it was just a battle."

"Champion Hou Jiuwen, among the armies in Yizhou, the old soldiers are the most powerful, so I borrowed the old soldiers."

Is this a battle?
When the three of Deng Xian heard this, they couldn't help being taken aback. Hua Yu used the Yizhou Army to fight?

So weird.

The combat effectiveness of the Xiliang Army is unparalleled in the world.

Hua Yu is also the God of War of the Xiliang Army. The Xiliang Army worships him extremely. He commanded the Xiliang Army as if he was swinging his left and right arms. How could he even borrow foreign soldiers to fight?

After all, Lu Meng was still young, and he had never read military books. When he heard that there was a battle to be fought, his eyes lit up immediately, and he almost yelled "Cai".

Deng Xian was worthy of the qualifications of a famous general, and his heart moved, as if he had caught something.

Well, it must be that chaos is about to happen in Chang'an, and Champion Hou wants to profit from it, but he can't reveal anything.

Not long after Gan Xingba joined Champion Hou, this Xu Shu must also be the same. If the two of them lead old soldiers to fight, no one will doubt Champion Hou.

After all, who is the opponent in this battle?

Is it the Xiliang Army, the Bingzhou Army, He Jin's old army, or the army Dong Zhuoxin recruited in the Sili area?

Also, who is the opponent's general?
How are Gan Ning and Xu Shu's leading combat skills?

These are all ignorance, which is equivalent to handing over [-] lives to the unknown.

It is about the life and death of 5000 people, and Liu Yan's entrustment, how dare Deng Xian be careless?
Taking a deep breath, Deng Xian asked: "General Gan, Mr. Xu, the life and death of 5000 people are at stake. Deng Xian dare not make decisions privately, and wants to see the Fourth Young Master."

In Deng Xian's opinion, Gan Ning and Xu Shu would definitely reject his request.

After all, Liu Zhang is fish and meat, and Hua Yu is Daozu. He does not have any confidence or support for this request.

Unexpectedly, Xu Shu smiled and nodded: "Of course."

"It's just that, if General Deng wants to see the Fourth Young Master, he has to enter Chang'an City. It's not suitable for many people."

"I would also like to ask General Deng to go alone and leave the Second General Deng here to lead the army. I don't know what General Deng wants?"

Deng Dang said hastily: "This matter is absolutely impossible."

"Brother is the leader of the five thousand old soldiers, and he bears the great trust of the mansion, how can he leave the army so easily?"

"It's better to let the younger brother go to Chang'an for the elder brother, meet the fourth son, and pass the word on his behalf. That's the best plan."

Gan Ning and Xu Shu knew that Deng Xian and the others were still worried, but they didn't bother to explain.

At this time, Lu Meng suddenly shouted: "Brother-in-law, my younger brother will go to Chang'an with you to protect brother-in-law's safety."

Only then did Gan Ning and Xu Shu realize that this short soldier was actually Deng Dang's brother-in-law, not an ordinary soldier.

Deng Xian thought for a while, then shook his head: "No, I will go to see Champion Hou in person."
