Liu Cong is lenient to them, how can they not know, if they don't do something, they will not know how to advance or retreat. So after returning to Jiameng after the training, several people immediately found the stolen farmers' homes, kowtowed to admit their mistakes, and explained to several farmers again and again. These farmers were honest farmers, and their cattle had been recovered, and they had been subsidized by wages.

Then several people came to the county government and asked to see Liu Cong.

Seeing the behavior of these people, Liu Cong also breathed a sigh of relief, and finally lived up to his hard work.

"Get up, Li Hui, tell me what's going on?" These people are more important to Liu Cong, they were originally under Yang Huai, and they were also the tun chiefs and captains under Yang Huai, and they also trained very well when they arrived at Liu Cong, and they were selected as the tun chiefs and captains of these 500 people.

The elite of these elites is actually a cattle thief, of course Liu Cong is depressed, thinking about it carefully, he feels that he may have a hard time, and today is just taking the opportunity to ask. Sure enough, the person named Li Hui knelt down again: "General, this matter has nothing to do with them, it's me who is not good, I instigated them!" ”

"Brother Li, what nonsense are you talking about?" Everyone said in unison: "General, don't believe him, here's how it ......"

It turned out that Li Hui was a superintendent in the county in his early years, and his brother-in-law was Jianling's county order, and Li Hui was dismissed from office if he had illegal behavior. Because Ji Xi is a powerful family in this area, Taishou Dong He suppressed the matter and did not remove Li Hui from office. But Li Hui was upright, dismissed himself as an official, took his mother to Jiameng to join the army, and soon became the commander of the tun.

It's just that his mother suddenly fell seriously ill, and Li Hui didn't have much savings a few years ago, so he borrowed money from a few good brothers. They are all soldiers, there is money there, and if there is money, they will not be soldiers. These people are like brothers to Li Hui, and they all regard Li Hui's mother as Meng Niang, and when they heard that Meng Niang was seriously ill, everyone was in a hurry, and they remembered stealing cattle. Of course, this matter has to be hidden from Li Hui. It wasn't until Liu Cong asked everyone to gather and Pang Tong said those words that Li Hui understood everything.

He is a person who dares to take responsibility, and naturally he doesn't want his brothers to be expelled from the barracks and cut off their livelihood because of their own family affairs, so they all thought about it on the way here and prepared to carry it down alone. Although Liu Cong did not pursue it before, Li Hui certainly knew that after carrying this stain, it would be difficult for his brothers to be reused and promoted in the future, whether under Liu Cong or in Yang Huai.

Seeing several people competing for responsibility, Liu Cong was very happy, if he met a group of timid and afraid people, it would really be in vain for Liu Cong's hard work. Watching several people arguing with each other, Liu Cong was silent on the side. Perhaps everyone was also aware of it, so they gradually fell silent and waited for Liu Cong's fate.

"A few of you have violated the military order, in view of your filial piety and righteousness, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime is unforgivable, from now on, each of you will train twenty miles!"

"Thank you, General, thank you, General!"

Although twenty miles was far away, it was nothing compared to capital crimes, and everyone naturally rejoiced.

"You all go down, Li Hui, you stay!"

"General?" The faces of everyone, who were still smiling, suddenly froze, they were obviously worried that Liu Cong would severely punish Li Hui alone.

"Go down, ink again, and put them all in prison!"

Li Hui also repeatedly signaled everyone to leave quickly, and several people saw that Liu Cong was angry, so they slowly retreated.

"Li Hui, I heard that you used to be the superintendent of Guling County?"

"General Hui, this is indeed the case." Li Hui was stunned at first, how could this General Liu know everything and investigate himself so quickly?

"Do you know about the crime of stealing cattle?"

"Yes!" Li Hui was not a person without responsibility, so his face was not afraid.

"It's good to know, in the future, we must strictly control them, and don't regenerate incidents! Liao Hua, go and get 20,000 yuan and hand it over to Li Hui. ”

"This ...... General ......"

"Needless to say, it's important to treat your mother's illness, I will borrow this money from you, and I will pay it back when you have money in the future."

"Thank you, General, thank you, General!"

"What are the big men doing with tears. Remember my words, no matter what difficulties you encounter, you must not do anything that violates military orders, you must know that those farmers are not richer than you, and if the cattle do not come back soon, their families will starve and freeze! ”

"Li Hui remembers the general's teachings! I thank General for my great kindness for a few brothers! ”

"Let's use it on the training ground!"

"Yes!"

After a while, Liao Hua brought 20,000 yuan and handed it to Li Hui, Li Hui took the money and knelt down again with trembling all over: "Thank you, General!" ”

Liu Cong hurriedly motioned to Liao Hua to help Li Hui up, and then sent him home.

"General, why are you so nice to them?" Liao Hua was very puzzled, this general is usually strict, and this time these Yizhou soldiers violated the military order and stole three ploughing cattle, which is a big crime. The general not only did not pursue it, but also lent money to Li Hui, which is incredible.

"Liao Hua, if the nurse is seriously ill and you don't have the money to treat her old man, what should you do?"

"This ......" The nursing mother in Liu Cong's mouth will be Liao Hua's adoptive mother Wang, and Liao Hua's feelings for her are naturally extraordinary. was speechless by Liu Cong's question.

"You might also take a risk, so they can be forgiving!"

Liao Hua scratched his head and walked away embarrassedly. Liu Cong was also secretly happy in his heart, this time he seized another opportunity, this matter will soon spread all over the Yizhou soldiers, and these elites trained in Jiameng will even tell this episode as a story to the tens of thousands of Baishui Pass guards.

And Li Hui is not an ordinary person! Speaking of this Li Hui, others don't know, but the traverser Liu Cong naturally knows it very well.

Liu Bei defeated Liu Zhang, captured Chengdu, and appointed Li Hui as the master of Cao Zuo (the official who holds the merits of officials), and there are fugitive sinners who framed Li Hui for participating in the rebellion, and the relevant departments arrested Li Hui.

In the first year of Zhangwu (221 AD), Emperor Zhaolie of the Shu Han Dynasty (i.e., Liu Bei), Deng Fang, the governor of the five counties in Nanzhong, died. Liu Bei originally intended to appoint Li Hui, but he deliberately asked Li Hui first who could succeed him? Li Hui quoted the scriptures and said a very decent sentence: "People's talents have their own strengths and weaknesses, so Confucius said: 'It makes people also instrumental' and the husband is on top, then the subordinates enjoy themselves, it is the battle of the first zero, Zhao Chongguo said, 'Mo Ruo old minister', the ministers do not steal themselves, but His Majesty observes it." ”

It not only shows that he has great strength and courage to shoulder heavy burdens, but also shows that he is decent and highly cultivated. So Liu Bei released Li Hui as the governor of the capital, stationed in Pingyi County (now between Pu'an and Liuzhi, Guizhou), and concurrently served as the assassin of Jiaozhou. With Li Hui leading the history of Jiaozhou, it was Shu Han who put on a posture of competing with Wu for Jiaozhou's territory, and so far, Li Hui has become a "big man" of Shu Han.

Later, Zhuge Liang killed Gao Ding and Ping Yong, captured Meng Shu seven times, and Li Hui closely echoed with it, chasing the north and south, with the most military achievements, and named Li Hui as "Hanxing Pavilion Marquis" (Hanxing is near Xingyi, Guizhou today). At the beginning of the autumn of the third year of Jianxing, Li Hui was stationed in Dianchi County (now Jincheng, Jinning County, Yizhou County), and Nanzhong was pacified. Immediately changed Yizhou County to Jianning County, with Li Hui as the Taishou, and General Anhan, he led the history of the state assassination and moved the county to Wei County (now Qujing).

Li Hui served as the governor of the seven counties in Nanzhong, and directly controlled Jianning County, the central area of Nanzhong. After Prime Minister Zhuge handed over the important task of governing Nanzhong to Li Hui, he returned to Chengdu in the winter. Although the leading figures with the surname of Nanzhong were all transferred to Chengdu to be officials, the local heroes still rebelled and killed the guards after the army returned to the north.

Li Hui personally sent troops to conscript, extinguished the rebellion, and moved the heroes from all over the country to Chengdu; Thousands of Yongchang Pu people were also relocated between Jianning and Yunnan counties to develop the production of the two counties. In the fifth year of Jianxing (227 years), Zhuge Liang said in the "Teacher's Table": "Now the south has been decided, the soldiers and armor are sufficient, and the three armies should be awarded, and the Central Plains will be determined in the north." As a result, the Shuai army was stationed in Hanzhong in the north and began to compete with Cao Wei. The formation of this situation is inseparable from Li Hui's fulfillment of the strategic task of stabilizing Nanzhong.

Historically, Li Hui was an important minister of the Shu Han Dynasty, and he once recruited Ma Chao for Liu Bei! If you can buy the hearts of tens of thousands of people with just 20,000 yuan and recruit Li Hui to work for you, why not?
