The Shuhan Empire of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 5
Smell the chicken and dance
In this familiar yet unfamiliar home.After being busy, the Qin brothers settled down, and it was already dark, so they walked slowly into their room to have a good sleep, to reward their tired body after a day.

In my sleep, I had a dream: In the dream, I commanded thousands of troops and captured Chang'an City, so that Liu Bei could enter the capital set by Liu Bang in his lifetime and inherit the continuation of the Han Empire.But at this time, Sima Yi came in and broke through Chang'an City...

I have the habit of getting up early, and it seems that I heard the cock crowing just now. Zhuge Qiao got out of bed thoughtfully, got ready and walked to the Qin brothers' room. The Qin brothers' room was adjacent to him. Qin Hong also heard the knock on Qin Shan's door.

"It's really early, son, what's the matter now?" Qin Shan rubbed his eyes and said
"I came to you to ask if you have ever heard a cock crow"

"I didn't hear it just now, but now I hear it, what does the cock crowing mean?"

"The crowing of the rooster tells us that it is time to get up and practice swordplay," Zhuge Qiao said generously, pointing to the crowing rooster.

"It turns out that the crowing of the cock has another meaning," Qin Shan replied.

So, Qin Hong, Qin Shan, and Zhuge Qiao started training in the courtyard. Zhuge Qiao could only use fists and daggers, but in this era of cold weapons, he must be good at weapons, so Zhuge Qiao also found one. Spear, danced with the Qin brothers,

"Master, I got up before dawn to practice guns with the two people who came yesterday." The servant said to Zhuge Liang who had just woken up and was about to wash up.
Zhuge Liang smiled, didn't say anything, and left as if he didn't hear him, but no one could see that Zhuge Liang was full of energy at this time.

Zhaoshi, "Did Qiaoer rest well last night, she was so tired yesterday" Huang Yueying said with concern, it's no wonder that Zhuge Liang is nearly forty years old, and he hasn't given birth to a son for him, and this cheap son is from the elder brother , Where did Zhuge Jin adopt him?

"Good rest, I'll get up as soon as the rooster crows this morning," Zhuge Qiao responded with a smile
"Dancing at the crowing of the rooster is a talent that has been studied and practiced hard. Your army will arrive later, so prepare to accept it." Zhuge Liang said, maybe he didn't even know that he would dance at the crowing of the rooster. It became the dance of smelling chickens, which has been passed down through the ages, but the protagonist has become Zhuge Qiao.

Near noon, someone told Zhuge Qiao that his troops were coming, but Zhuge Qiao was so anxious that he finally came!So I came to the compound with the Qin brothers, and saw that there were ten rows and ten columns neatly in the courtyard, and there were 100 people in total. The people in this team seemed to be more young people, each with a long gun , looks extremely sturdy.

"Captain of the first team, Wu Tong reports to the head of the village, and all the troops of the village are here, please give the order from the head of the village." A burly soldier stood up
"Okay, listen to my order and leave the city" Zhuge Qiao ordered
In fact, before Zhuge Qiao went out last time, he had already chosen the place to station troops outside the city, and Zhuge's father also helped prepare the military tent and the things needed for the military camp. Zhuge Qiao was very proud of himself at this time.So he led this army out of the city in mighty strength.

After leaving the city, Zhuge Qiao continued to move forward into the distance. "Stop right here, ready to expand the camp." Zhuge Qiao pointed to a relatively open area ahead
Here is a small forest with many trees, backed by mountains, and a river not far away; this is a good place for a military camp,

At this time, everyone is working hard on the expansion, cutting trees, moving stones, leveling the ground, setting up tents and so on.In order to better integrate into this group, Zhuge Qiao also joined them and started to cut down trees; he also started joking with everyone

"What's your name?" Zhuge Qiao asked the young man beside him.

"Captain, my name is Chen Qi, and my style name is Yonghong. I'm the head of a team of San Shi Shi, and I'm from Nanyang," Chen Qi replied.
"When did you join the army and how old are you?" Zhuge Qiao asked
"I joined the army before the King of Hanzhong entered Sichuan. I came to Yizhou with Zhuge's army division. I am 24 years old now," Chen Qi replied.
"It seems that the soldiers Zhuge Liang gave me are elite soldiers." Zhuge Qiao thought, "Do you know these people?"

"We were originally under the command of General Zhao Yun, so we all know each other. Most of the people here are from Yizhou. They are supplemented. A small part are Jingzhou veterans. The oldest is only 27. I heard that Jingzhou is fighting and I don't know the result. I really want to help them." Chen Qi wished he could tell all about his life experience.

"I believe they will win." Zhuge Qiao didn't dare to look at him after finishing speaking; because he knew that the news of Jingzhou would soon spread to Chengdu, and there might be chaos in the palace

Zhuge Qiao continued to work, and continued to chat with them about some past events. Gradually, Zhuge Qiao discovered that these young people were easy to talk to, and they would definitely become good brothers and comrades-in-arms in the future.

Time flows slowly, and the sun is almost at dusk; the soldiers on the ground are still working. "Uncle Liu, hurry up and get the food ready, we'll celebrate together when we're almost done here," Zhuge Qiao said to an older person beside him, this Uncle Liu was brought out from the mansion to manage the logistics.

"Yes, my lord," Liu Bo replied

Tents are being set up on the construction site now, and Zhuge Qiao's first barracks will be completed in a short while. No matter how many armies he will be in command in the future, leading the troops this time will give him a new understanding.Looking at the soon-to-be-completed barracks, Zhuge Qiao also showed a long-lost smile.

This time, Zhuge Qiao expanded the training field of the barracks to a very large size, which can accommodate 500 people to practice. Everyone has to follow Zhuge Qiao's insistence, and I am afraid that only he himself understands why he did so.Watching the last wooden stake being laid down, "Everyone lean in," Zhuge Qiao shouted loudly

At this time, the soldier was also tired and sat on the ground, but when he heard Zhuge Qiao's order, he had to get up and run over, complaining in his heart.

"Soldiers, everyone has worked hard today. The barracks have been completed. From now on, this is your home. I am also your brother. I hope to advance and retreat with you in the future, and share weal and woe. The meals are ready, and today There will be braised pork tonight, everyone can eat it with confidence." Zhuge Qiao gave a very simple lecture, but he got to the point, which is to have meat tonight, which is a rare thing in the military camp.

The people below were upset at first, but they were a little more moved when they heard that the son of the military master Zhuge was commensurate with their brothers. When they finally heard that there was meat to eat, they all boiled over, saying that they were with the right person this time. , Zhuge Qiao has also slowly integrated into this barracks.

During the meal, Zhuge Qiao walked into the crowd and ate the same meal as them, "Master Tun, I have been in the army for so many years, and I have never met such a good general as you, who is worthy of our brother and eats the same meal as us, and you He is also the son of Zhuge Junshi, from now on I will follow you." Chen Qilai, who had just talked with Zhuge Qiao, said

"We are the subordinates of the King of Hanzhong. We should restore the Han Dynasty together for the King of Hanzhong. We should be called brothers."

"No matter what, as long as the captain doesn't dislike it in the future, I will always be at your disposal." Chen Qi clenched his fist and said
At this time, Zhuge Qiao felt a sense of loyalty from ancient times. Maybe there are still many enemies waiting for him in the future journey, but he believes that this loyalty is enough to make him look forward to the future.
