Chapter 47 Return to the Han Dynasty
Liu Bei opened his sleepy eyes, and the first words that came out of his mouth were, "Oh no, my notebook is still in my room, Third brother, move your legs, I need to get up."

"."

Liu Bei fell silent, staring blankly at the familiar style of the beams, with his second and third brothers beside him.
He returned to the Han Dynasty.

Liu Bei moved Zhang Fei's legs, put on his shoes, and slowly opened the door.

The cold wind filled my nose and rushed into my throat.

He was so frightened that he lost all desire to sleep.

Looking up, the sky is clear and cloudless; looking down, there are temporarily requisitioned houses, overgrown with weeds, and the fences and walls are dilapidated.

"puff"

There was a sound of something falling from the next room.

Liu Bei thought to himself that this was not ok. If he remembered correctly, that should be Xianhe's room.

He hurriedly closed the door and rushed to open Jian Yong's door.

What came into view was the broken teacup and Jian Yong hunched over the desk.

"Xianhe, what happened?" Liu Bei asked.

Jian Yong's body trembled when he heard the voice. He looked up suddenly. His eyes were red and tears were welling up in his eyes.

The moment he saw Liu Bei, he subconsciously shouted: "Your Majesty, you are still alive, it is really, really great."

"His Majesty?"

Liu Bei felt his head buzzing. He ran forward quickly and covered Jian Yong's mouth.

"Xianhe, don't talk nonsense, or you may get yourself killed!"

"Why are not you talking?"

"Woo woo woo" Jian Yong waved his arms in protest, as if to say, you covered my mouth, how can I speak?

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Liu Bei smiled awkwardly and let go of his hand.

Fortunately, Jian Yong was not angry with Liu Bei. He raised his sleeves to wipe away his tears.

Liu Bei remained expressionless as he sat next to Jian Yong, recalling their last exchange and already had a general idea in his mind.

But he still asked, "Xianhe, did you dream about my life?"

Jian Yong nodded and said with emotion, "As expected of you, Xuande. This is something you can do."

Liu Bei laughed, "I thought Xianhe would blame me for being impulsive and irritable as he did in the past."

"Xuan De," Jian Yong said, raising his voice a few times, "If others don't understand, then that's fine. We have known each other since we were young, how can I not understand? If I die in trouble, will you sit back and do nothing?"

Liu Bei said seriously, "Of course not!"

Liu Bei noticed the ashes on Jian Yong's desk. Based on his understanding of Jian Yong, he must have tied them into a bundle with mugwort, sprinkled them with oil, and handled government affairs at night.

He twirled the ashes on the table, looked at Jian Yong distressedly and said: "Xianhe, it is not appropriate to handle government affairs at night. If you are blind, how can you see us accomplish great things?"

Jian Yong lowered his head, "I know, I just want to help Xuande"

“No, it should be.”

Jian Yong raised his head, clasped his fists, changed the subject, and congratulated, "It must be the Lord of the Mansion."

"What Lord?"

A bold voice appeared outside Jian Yong's door.

Jian Yong looked back and saw Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, with Guan Yu stroking his long beard.

Zhang Fei laughed and said, "Brother Jian, why call me Envoy? That's what outsiders call me. Just call me Big Brother!"

"Big"

At Zhang Fei's instigation, Jian Yong opened his mouth, but did not utter a single word. He said firmly, "I have vowed that I will make the immortal recognize me!"

Zhang Fei shook his head. "Xianhe, Xianhe, you are still stubborn."

Liu Bei pulled on the corner of Zhang Fei's clothes and signaled with his eyes, "Third brother, shut up first."

Then he turned to Jian Yong and asked, "Xianhe, what are the details of the court's appointment?"

"I finished everything last night." Jian Yong said, "The court ordered us to recruit 3,000 people and set off for Liangzhou soon."

"Three Thousand People"

Liu Bei lowered his head and thought about it. You know, when he came to help Lu Zhi, he had only 500 people to gather the Yellow Turbans. After a long period of knowing each other, he basically understood the living conditions of these thousands of people. The poor accounted for the majority, and of course there were also ruffians and bullies. The ruffians and bullies were sent to the border by him. As for others who were willing to join the army and become soldiers under him, Liu Bei, as long as they were healthy, he would not refuse anyone. In this way, he absorbed thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers into the team, and the remaining Yellow Turbans who were unwilling to join the army were reorganized and resettled on the spot.

But there were more than a thousand more troops all of a sudden. Liu Bei had never fought such a rich battle.

"In that case." Liu Bei made a decision, "Return to Youzhou and recruit soldiers!"

"Yes." Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, and Jian Yong responded.

Youzhou, Zhuojun, Zhuo County, and an unknown village in the suburbs.

Erniu held up the hoe and weeded the field bit by bit. His feet were steaming in the heat, his back was scorching in the sun, and his sweat soaked his short coat, but he did not complain at all and continued to swing the hoe tirelessly.

A poor woman and a child appeared on the ridge of the field.

The poor woman's left arm was hanging on a bamboo basket, and her right hand was holding a child, who was holding a pot of water.

They walked to the man, who immediately put down his hoe. The child handed him the pot and called out in a tender voice, "Father, drink some water."

"Good good."

Erniu gulped down the water, picked up the child, touched the child's nose with his calloused hands, and said with a smile: "My son is really getting heavier!"

The poor woman handed Erniu a bowl of corn rice mixed with wild vegetables and said, "My dear, eat.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Xiaojun."

Erniu took the bowl and started eating the rice in big mouthfuls.

Suddenly he saw a familiar figure.

He immediately shouted, "Brother Hu, why are you going home so early today? Aren't you going to farm anymore?"

"Why are we still farming? Lord Liu, please publish a notice to recruit soldiers. I heard that not only will you get money, but you can also eat meat every month!" 'Brother Tiger' replied.

"Meat?"

Hearing this word, not only Erniu, but even his wife and children began to drool.

Erniu hurriedly called out to Brother Hu: "Brother Hu, which Lord Liu are you talking about? Did someone trick you?"

"Impossible, Lord Liu is none other than Liu Bei Liu Xuande of Zhuo County! How could Lord Liu's words be false? I heard that even if they are not selected, they will be given enough food to delay the busy farming season!"

"Do you still need to choose?" Erniu was stunned.

"Of course not! Those who want to serve under Lord Liu have to line up here from the county gate!"

"Then me too"

"Don't even think about it. Even though you are strong, Lord Liu doesn't want his only son easily!"

"Is that so? But I want to go and see it." Brother Tiger, can we go together?

"That's no problem."

After agreeing on the time, "Brother Tiger" left in a hurry and disappeared from Erniu's sight.

Erniu looked at the poor woman and said, "My dear, I..."

The poor woman grabbed Erniu's hand and said, "My dear, you are the head of the family, why do you ask me? It's good that you have made up your mind. It's just that my mother is old, so you have to think about it carefully."

"No," Erniu bowed his head and said ashamedly, "I just didn't let you live a good life."

The poor woman's hand trembled.

Erniu raised his head again, "I heard that Lord Liu is a man of his word, I want to go and see what's going on."

The poor woman pursed her lips and said, "Why not ask mother?"

"it is good."

When he got home, Erniu told the old woman everything.

The old woman stared at Erniu and said, "Your father and brother were indirectly killed by bullies. Lord Liu drove away the bullies in the village. He has done a great favor to our family. I am very pleased that you have this heart."

"But." Erniu saw his gray-haired mother and became hesitant again. He said, "But if I leave, who will take care of you?"

Upon hearing the sound, the old woman picked up a stick and hit the ground at Erniu's feet. She said angrily: "Why did I give birth to a boy like you! How can a man only guard a small piece of land? Liu Fujun is a very capable person. If you deliberately don't do it, I will beat you to death!"

a few days later.

News came that Erniu was selected.

Erniu's mother was both happy and sad.

Suddenly a young man wearing a crown came in and said gently, "Are you Wang Niu's mother?"

The young man talked to the old woman for a long time. In the end, he just wanted to teach her how to assemble the chairs and some small skills, which would be enough to support the family. In addition, the money Wang Niu received in the army would be sent back, and even the family's fields would not be left idle. They would give them a considerable amount of food and rent them farmland.
The old woman was both surprised and puzzled. When did this kind of recruitment of soldiers come about?

　Sorry for coming back late today. I'll see if I can write another chapter before 12 o'clock. I wonder what you think of this chapter.
