Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 5 Recruiting the First General

When the two Zhang family members were about to leave, Liu He quickly chased after them.

"Uncle Zhang, please walk slower."

The two members of the Zhang family did not dare to disobey and quickly retreated.

Liu Qian thought his son was going to play with Ergou again, but he was in a good mood now, so he didn't say anything to stop him. He thought it would be okay to let his son relax for a day.

After Liu He stopped the Zhang family father and son, he walked up to his father, bowed, and then said: "Father, I want to study literature and martial arts next, but it's too boring to be alone. I see that Zhang's elder brother is strong and has some strength. I would like to ask for your permission to let him stay with me so that he can be a companion."

Liu Qian obviously did not expect his son to make such a request. He instinctively wanted to refuse at first. His family was not rich, and it would be difficult to support the family with suddenly one more mouth to feed.

But when he looked at Liu He's pleading expression, he couldn't say no even though the words had come to his lips.

"Oh, never mind. My son needs to have some achievements in the future, and he will need a few close friends. The Zhang family knows them well, and they are diligent and honest. If we choose to train them from a young age, maybe they can really help my son in the future."

After figuring this out, Liu Qian was no longer prepared to refuse. As for food, he would slowly find a way. No matter how hard and tired he was, he would never treat his precious son unfairly.

"Well, my son is getting old, and it's time for him to find a companion for study and practice. How about this, Zhang brothers, let Ergou stay at my house. My Liu family will take care of his food and accommodation. From now on, he will be responsible for accompanying my son in his studies and martial arts, and we will never treat him unfairly."

Zhang Tong was overjoyed when he heard this. It would be a better future for his son to be Liu He's attendant than to stay at home and work. Not to mention that he could learn some skills, the food rations he could save in a year would be a lot.

Ergou was also very happy, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed several times. He was not good at speaking and didn't know what to say, so he could only kowtow continuously. This kid was also very honest, and his head hit the ground with a "bang bang" sound. Liu He quickly helped him up.

"Ding, the host has successfully subdued the first subordinate that he intends to train as a military commander, and obtained 10 mission points."

A system prompt sounded in Liu He's mind. He didn't expect to complete the first task so easily. He was very happy.

Xu added a bed in Liu He's room and laid out bedding, which would be Ergou's future residence.

After the adults gave them some instructions, Liu He pulled Ergou all the way to the hill behind the house and told him his thoughts.

Ergou is also a straightforward child. Although he doesn't understand what Liu He wants to do, he still pats his chest and assures Liu He.

"Brother Liu, no matter how you want Ergou to practice, I won't say a word!"

He is two years older than Liu He, and Liu He used to call him brother. However, Liu Tong had just given him special instructions, so this time he called Liu He brother instead.

After all, Liu He's soul is that of a modern man, so hearing the name Ergou always feels a bit awkward.

"Well... Ergou, how about this, since you follow me, I will give you a name."

It was common practice for families to give slaves and servants new names, and they liked to add auspicious words to their names, such as "Fu", "Gui", "Fu" and so on, so Ergou didn't think it was strange.

"Okay, okay, whatever name my brother says I should be called, Ergou will be called that from now on!"

After thinking for a while, Liu He patted Er Gou on the shoulder and said in an adult tone, "Well, since you have followed me, you should fight bravely for me in the future. I will change your name to Zhang Yong."

Liu He's tone, coupled with his eight-year-old body, was indeed somewhat out of place. Zhang Ergou felt like laughing when he saw it, but he still tried hard to hold back the urge to laugh and bowed respectfully.

"Hehe, all right! From now on, I will be called Zhang Yong, and I will be your brave general, Master Liu!" "Okay, next, let me tell you about our future training plan."

Liu He stood on a stone, looked down at Zhang Yong, then cleared his throat and acted as if he was giving orders, which was really funny.

In his previous life, Liu He was also a sunny young man who loved fitness and had quite a bit of experience in this area.

He had already made a training plan for himself, and now he just wanted to share it with Zhang Yong.

Liu He's childish voice sounded quite convincing when he was preaching, but Zhang Yong had never heard of many of the terms, such as sit-ups and push-ups, so he only had a vague understanding of them and was completely confused.

"Hey, what... Brother Liu, what do all these mean? Ergou is a bit stupid and doesn't quite understand..."

He scratched the back of his head sheepishly.

"Uh... I was so excited that I forgot about this."

Liu He quickly jumped off the big rock and demonstrated all the movements to Zhang Yong one by one.

Although Zhang Yong was not as smart as Liu He, these movements were not difficult. He learned them after being taught twice, and started exercising by imitating them.

While Liu He was training himself, he would occasionally point out some irregularities in Zhang Yong's movements, such as raising the buttocks too high in push-ups and not pressing the legs evenly enough in horse stance.

However, neither Liu He himself nor Zhang Yong was careless in their training.

Four days passed in a flash. During these four days, the two of them insisted on exercising for at least two hours every day.

Early that morning, Liu He took Zhang Yong with him as usual and prepared to go up the mountain to continue training.

"Ouch..." Zhang Yong, who was walking on the mountain road in the back mountain, suddenly tilted his body and almost fell down. Fortunately, Liu He was quick to catch him.

"Yongzi, be careful. If your legs and feet are really inconvenient, just take a rest today..."

Liu He looked at Zhang Yong's gritted teeth and endured the pain, and suddenly felt a little bit sorry for him.

"Ah, it seems that I still overestimated my own and Zhang Yong's ability to bear..."

Even though his strength had been weakened a lot based on the training in his previous life, both of them were still sore all over after these four days.

Zhang Yong almost fell down because his legs were numb and painful. In fact, Liu He himself was not much better. His hands were shaking while he was eating, which made Xu feel distressed. Even Liu Qian wondered if he was setting too high standards for his son.

However, Liu He was not worried at all. As he was keen on fitness and sports in his previous life, he knew this matter very well. As long as he continued to train and endured these few days, his body would adapt to this intensity of exercise. Then the soreness and weakness would quickly subside, and be replaced by stronger strength than before.

But Zhang Yong was really too much. Even though he felt so uncomfortable, he didn't even complain or say anything about asking for a rest, which made Liu He feel embarrassed.

"That won't do! I said, I will train however Brother Liu tells me to. How can I just stop because of a little discomfort? I have to...hiss..."

Zhang Yong was halfway through saying this when he didn't know which muscle he had pulled and was grimacing in pain.
