Chapter 62 Your son's name is Shen Ying?
Lu Yong led his troops on a lightly equipped and swift journey, arriving at the mountain road north of Jing County three days later.
The infantry rested on the spot, while Zhang Fei led the cavalry to continue scouting forward.
At this moment, the soldiers finally realized Lu Yong's good intentions in pushing them to their limits every day.
They ran for three days and three nights straight, with the longest rest period being only two hours, yet they didn't feel too tired.
In the past, I would have been exhausted, let alone fighting, I probably wouldn't even be able to stand up.
Shen Yi, who had previously taught the new army, was also brought out by Lu Yong.
He originally thought Shen Yi was just an ordinary schoolteacher.
Unexpectedly, he actually had some ideas and insights.
So Lu Yong appointed him as the military advisor, responsible for managing logistics and daily affairs.
Because Shen Yi was the teacher of these soldiers, everyone respected him very much.
In some matters, Shen Yi's intervention is even more effective than Lu Yong's.
Shen Yi walked to Lu Yong's side with dry rations and water and said:
"Lu Zhonglang, the brothers are in excellent spirits and physical condition. Your training methods are truly admirable!"
Lu Yong nodded slightly in thanks, then took the dry rations and began to eat.
"Dry and hard, with no texture at all, it's really awful..." Lu Yong muttered, "I must improve the dry rations when I get back."
Shen Yi sat next to Lu Yong, holding the dry rations and lost in thought.
Seeing this, Lu Yong couldn't help but ask, "Gongxu (Shen Yi's courtesy name), what are you thinking about?"
Shen Yi snapped out of his reverie and replied with a smile, "I was thinking about the child... Don't laugh at me, strategist, but I finally had this son when I was over thirty."
"That's great, is he/she one year old yet?" Lu Yong asked curiously.
"Just turned 100 days old, not yet a year old."
"Have you chosen a name yet?"
"It's settled, the name will be just one character, Ying."
"Shen Ying, that's a nice name."
Lu Yong subconsciously replied, then paused slightly, thinking to himself:
"Shen Ying?? Could it be the historical Shen Ying, the governor of Danyang in Eastern Wu, known for his 'unwavering loyalty and integrity'?"
"Considering the timing, it does seem to be about the same!"
Shen Ying was not only brave and skilled in battle, but his book "Linhai Shuitu Zhi" also left the earliest record of Taiwan.
He can be considered to be both scholarly and martial.
"Holy crap! I found a treasure here?" Lu Yong suppressed his excitement and said, "I'll go see your son when we get back."
"Thank you, Zhonglang!" Shen Yi was somewhat moved.
He was originally just a down-on-his-luck scholar from a poor family. Because he was not good at socializing, he even had trouble getting food on a daily basis.
It was only after Liu Bei and Lu Yong arrived in Danyang that they began to recruit a large number of scholars, which gave Shen Yi a job opportunity.
He came to teach in the military camp.
Lu Yong not only didn't look down on him, but also taught him many things.
Finally, he was promoted to the rank of Military Advisor, which was a formal appointment and guaranteed his livelihood.
The turning point in my life began when I met Lu Zhonglang.
A scholar will die for one who understands him!
Shen Yi made up his mind to repay Lu Zhonglang's kindness with his own life.
But he never expected that Lu Yong had already set his sights on his son...
the other side,
Zhang Fei led the cavalry ahead.
He rode at the head of the procession, with three hundred cavalrymen lined up along the mountain path.
He turned his head and glanced behind him, sighing:
"The method of the Eight Trigrams Scouting Ridge taught by Huai'an is indeed very useful."
"I don't know what's in this kid's brain; he knows way too many weird and wonderful things."
Just then, a scout rode back from the front.
Upon arriving before Zhang Fei, the scout clasped his hands in greeting and reported, "General, we have spotted a large group of people about five miles ahead, heading this way."
Zhang Fei reined in the horses: "How many people are there?"
"I can't see clearly, but there are at least a thousand people!"
Zhang Fei glanced back at the terrain on both sides of the mountain path.
There are steep slopes on both sides, and only the narrow path in the middle is passable.
If the cavalry is blocked here and cannot maneuver, they will likely be wiped out.
"Order the entire army to withdraw from the valley and form ranks for battle," Zhang Fei said, then added, "Send two more men back to report to the strategist."
Three hundred cavalrymen quickly retreated, drawing their swords and nocking their bows.
Not long after, the opposing team came into view.
Leading the way was a tiger-head flag.
One of his fierce generals
He was half a head taller than Zhang Fei, with a broad back and thick waist, and a face full of fat. He was carrying a mountain-splitting axe.
The man saw Zhang Fei's troops in the distance, reined in his horse, looked them up and down, and suddenly grinned.
He spurred his horse forward a few steps, slammed his axe into the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust, and shouted, "Who goes there?!"
Zhang Fei slung his spear over his shoulder and replied, "Zhang Fei of Yan!"
"Zhang Fei? Liu Bei's third brother?" Upon hearing this name, Lei Hu immediately dropped his arrogant expression and said:
"I am Lei Hu! Zhang Fei, do you dare to fight me!"
Zhang Fei sized him up, then suddenly sneered, "A novice like you dares to challenge your Grandpa Zhang?"
Lei Hu's face darkened. He raised his axe, spurred his horse, and charged straight at Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei was not afraid at all and charged forward with his spear.
Lei Hu raised his axe and cleaved Mount Hua in two with tremendous force.
Zhang Fei reined in his horse and dodged the powerful blow, then thrust his spear forward, aiming for Lei Hu's chest.
Lei Hu retracted his axe and swung it horizontally, striking the spear shaft.
The spear was knocked away, and Lei Hu's body swayed, his hands feeling numb.
His expression changed, and he muttered, "This guy has incredible strength!"
Zhang Fei didn't say anything. Using the rebound force, he swung the spear in a wide arc and swept it horizontally, aiming straight for Lei Hu's waist and abdomen!
Lei Hu didn't have time to change his move, so he could only hold his axe upright to block.
The spear shaft slammed into the axe handle, the impact sending numbness through his entire upper body, and he almost dropped the axe from his hand.
However, before Lei Hu could regain his footing, Zhang Fei's third spear came.
The shot was fired from below upwards.
The tip of the spear grazed Lei Hu's breastplate, sparking a shower of sparks.
Lei Hu was so jolted backward that he slid off the horse and landed hard on his backside.
The entire room fell silent.
Lei Hu sat on the ground.
He stared blankly at the breastplate with a white mark on its surface, his mouth agape, unable to believe it.
Three strokes!
Known as the fiercest warrior in Jing County,
How could someone with the charcoal-black leopard head not even last three moves?
Zhang Fei sheathed his spear and asked, "Do you submit?"
Lei Hu raised his head, dusted himself off his backside, stood up, and said in a deep voice, "I refuse to accept this!"
Zhang Fei raised an eyebrow slightly.
Lei Hu patted his belly and continued:
"He led his brothers through the forest for several days and traveled for several days. They were exhausted and hungry."
"You'd better wait until I've eaten and rested before you try to beat me up!"
Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Alright, I'll wait for you."
This guy is actually kind of cute.
Upon hearing this, Lei Hu turned and waved to his team, saying, "Bring over the deer we captured today; I want to barbecue it!"
His men seemed to be used to their leader's style, and they quickly built a pyre and started a fire.
The deer was cleaned and roasted on a pile of firewood, and soon a fragrant aroma wafted out.
Zhang Fei found it amusing, so he took a water bag off his horse and threw it at Lei Hu.
Lei Hu caught it, uncorked it, and a strong aroma of wine instantly filled the air.
"This is..." Lei Hu brought the bag to his nose and couldn't help but swallow.
Zhang Fei laughed and said, "My strategist brewed this fine wine, which you can't buy on the market. Here, have a sip."
Lei Hu tilted his head back and took a big gulp, then froze.
His eyes widened, his cheeks puffed out, and he made muffled whimpering sounds.
After a long while, he finally swallowed the wine and let out a long breath.
"Good wine! Good wine!!!" Lei Hu hugged the water bag tightly and refused to let go, quickly taking another gulp.
This time, however, I took a smaller bite than before, and then squinted my eyes, savoring the taste for a long time.
"Such fine wine exists in this world! I've wasted the last twenty years of my life!"
"You look like this in your twenties?" Zhang Fei couldn't help but twitch his lips.
