Chapter 586: Barbarians and Generals

"coming!"

Following Dian Wei's excited voice, Liu Zhang also returned to reality from his thoughts, and quickly looked into the distance.

I saw the banners fluttering in front, the team stretched endlessly, and the soldiers raised their heads high, as if they were the return of the victorious division!

Everyone's faces are filled with confidence and smiles, and there is no trace of fatigue on their faces after traveling thousands of miles.

However, Lu Su was not seen in front of the entire South Returning team, but Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Zhang Ren, and Yan Yan, four generals.

After the four of Zhao Yun found Liu Zhang's figure, they hurriedly mobilized their horses and rushed to the city gate at a faster speed.

"Meet the lord!"

After five years of separation, seeing each other again, the excitement is beyond words.

Especially Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao, they have a very deep friendship with Liu Zhang.

"Four generals, hurry up!"

Liu Zhang was not stingy with his arms, and helped everyone up one by one.

In the past five years, Zhao Yun and others have experienced more than a hundred battles in Nanzhong? Without their efforts, how would there be stability in Nanzhong today?

"Thanks for your hard work!"

Liu Zhang was full of relief, and kept scanning the four people with his eyes, and finally turned a thousand words into three words.

The simple three words, the feeling for the four people is by no means a literal meaning, which contains Liu Zhang's recognition of them.

Zhao Yun and the others deeply felt Liu Zhang's mood, and bowed their hands again.

"Thank you, my lord!"

He helped the four people up again, exchanged a few simple greetings, and several more people came on horseback.

"Zijing, Ziqiao, unknown!"

The arrival of Nanzhong's greatest hero made Liu Zhang happy again.

Lu Su, Zhang Song, and Zheng Du got off their horses quickly, walked quickly to Liu Zhang and bowed down.

"Meet the lord!"

"Get up!"

After five years of living in Nanzhong, the immature skin of the three people in front of them has become rough.

Especially Lu Su, after five years of training, he has completely lost his childishness, and he seems to have the demeanor of the governor of the Eastern Wu Dynasty.

"Zijing... well done!"

Liu Zhang originally prepared thousands of words to praise Lu Su's five-year achievements, but when he saw Lu Su's face, he felt that the exaggerated words were disrespectful to Lu Su.

Obviously, Lu Su and Liu Zhang had the same thoughts, and he always had a smile on his face. In his mind, Liu Zhang's simple sentence was a great recognition of him.

"My lord, it's a good luck that Lu Su did not disgrace his life! I heard that my lord went to the Northern Expedition and brought back 30,000 barbarian warriors for my lord's command!"

"Oh?"

Liu Zhang's eyes lit up. He knew in advance that Lu Su would come with barbarian soldiers, but he didn't expect that there would be 30,000 of them!

Lu Su waved to the rear, and three very strong generals in armor came up.

"This is Yizhou Mu, General Wei, and Liu Zhang, the lord of Yizhou. You Nanzhong barbarians can have everything you have now, because General Wei sacrificed a lot to get you in exchange for you!"

Lu Su's words were sharp, he flattered the barbarian general, and put all the credit on Liu Zhang.

However, what Lu Su said was not a compliment. Without Liu Zhang's full support, the Nanzhong matter would never have been successful.

In the past five years, Liu Zhang has not only acquired more than tens of millions of stones of food and grass, tens of millions of money, but also tens of thousands of elite troops.

Since all the elite soldiers were in Nanzhong, Liu Zhang was also unable to launch effective military operations.

The three barbarian generals looked at each other, then knelt down in front of Liu Zhang.

"Busy teeth!"

"Bone!"

"Zhu Meng!" "Meet the lord!"

The three of Zhu Meng not only knelt down to salute, but also kowtowed three times in a row to express their respect to Liu Zhang.

"Three generals, please rise up! If you can lead the barbarians to help, it will not be in vain for the general's thoughts on the barbarians!"

The three of Zhu Meng stood up, their eyes still full of deep respect.

"My lord, the barbarians will never forget your help to the barbarians! From now on, the whole barbarians will be willing to be driven by the lord!"

At this moment, Liu Zhang also felt that the effort was worth it, and the barbarian might really be his great help!

"Zhu Meng, what is your relationship with Zhu Qiao?"

"My lord, Zhu Qiao is my father."

Zhu Meng didn't hide his clumsiness. After mentioning Zhu Qiao, the gratitude in his eyes was even more indescribable.

"My father asked me to bring a message to the lord. He is very grateful to the lord for the gift back then, and even more grateful for the lord's gift to the barbarians."

Liu Zhang nodded with a smile. It was really a wise decision to let Zhu Qiao go.

Zhu Qiao played a big role in being able to subdue the entire barbarian tribe in recent years. Without him lobbying around, the progress would have been much slower.

"Work hard, don't let your father down, and don't let down the title of barbarian warrior!"

Zhu Meng's face was flushed, and the blood in his whole body was completely stimulated by Liu Zhang's few words, and he wished he could go to the battlefield and charge immediately.

"The last general...obey!"

Nanzhong is more than a thousand miles away from Chengdu, and the soldiers must be very exhausted.

Right now there were 70,000 troops gathered outside the city, Liu Zhang immediately asked the generals to arrange for the soldiers to go to the camp to rest, and ordered the arrangement of the barbarians.

As the soldiers slowly dispersed, the materials Lu Su brought back from Nanzhong were fully presented in Liu Zhang's eyes.

There are hundreds of carts!

In addition to food and grass, there are countless materials, of which gold, silver, copper, iron and other raw materials account for a large part.

There are also all kinds of rare things that are dazzling.

Liu Zhang immediately arranged to move into the treasury one after another, and gave Zhang Song and others a one-day long vacation.

Everyone left with their hands together, leaving only Liu Zhang and Lu Su walking side by side in the city.

"Zijing, I... hey!"

Liu Zhang shook his head and sighed as he walked, his face full of guilt.

Lu Su shook his head lightly, although there was regret in his eyes, there was more relief in his eyes.

Liu Zhang's attitude made Lu Su so moved that he couldn't help himself.

"My lord, you don't need to be like this. Life and death are destiny. My lord has taken care of my mother and grandmother in every possible way. Lu Su is already very grateful!"

"Grandmother is old, she can be regarded as the end of her life! Su heard that the lord personally pays filial piety, so the old man must be able to rest in peace!"

Two years ago, Lu Su's grandmother's health took a turn for the worse. Liu Zhang knew that her death was approaching, so he quickly sent a flying horse to report to Lu Su.

At that time, it was a critical moment in Nanzhong, and Lu Su finally chose to stay in Nanzhong.

It was precisely because of this time that Lu Su never saw his grandmother again.

It can be said that Lu Su chose to stay in Nanzhong to preside over the overall situation entirely because of Liu Zhang's great cause.

But even so, Liu Zhang has always been apologetic, especially after seeing Lu Su today, the guilt buried in his heart burst out.

"Hey, if I hadn't asked Gan Ning to go to Dongcheng County, maybe the old man wouldn't have to endure the pain of running around, or maybe..."

Everything has a cause and an effect. Although there was no Gan Ning to go to recruit Lu Su, Lu Su's grandmother would not have survived 198 years, but Liu Zhang still wanted to admit these things.

"My lord must not be like this!"

Lu Su was very terrified, he really didn't expect Liu Zhang to be like this!

"My lord, when General Gan Ning recruited my subordinates, it was difficult for me to travel far because of the inconvenient health of my old mother and grandmother. Do you know who persuaded my subordinates in the end?"
