Chapter 18: Convincing Lu Bu
"Big brother, thank you very much."
After staying in an empty room in Xu Huang's house, after a brief dinner, Ding Xiao specially expressed his gratitude to Lu Bu.
"Brother is not welcome, this is my job!" Lu Bu waved his hand indifferently.
"Big brother, I still know a lot about talents like Xu Huang, I wonder if my eldest brother is interested in recruiting them all with me?" Ding Xiao asked.
"Oh? Do we still have such good talents in the state? ”
Lu Bu was very surprised.
"It's not a state, it's the world!"
Ding Xiao's expression was excited, and his tone was a little heroic.
"The world?"
Lu Bu was slightly stunned, "Our sphere of influence is the merger of states, if we go outside the merger state to recruit talents, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate, right?" Besides, the official positions in the state are limited, and the army is only 30,000, even if we can recruit talents from other counties, there is no suitable place to arrange it! ”
"Big brother doesn't know."
Ding Xiao smiled slightly, adjusted the set of words he had said to Ding Yuan, and said it again, "...... So when the time comes, the world will be in chaos! Dahan will usher in a situation of separation! ”
"Oh?"
Lu Bu was shocked, feeling that Ding Xiao's analysis was a little unbelievable, but he thought of Ding Xiao's recent miraculous performance, but he believed a little in his heart, "In this case, what should we do?" ”
"Heroes have been born in troubled times since ancient times! In these troubled times, it is a great time for us to make contributions! "So big brother, we have to prepare in advance." ”
Ding Xiao's words ignited the desire in Lu Bu's heart, as a man, a man who thinks he is invincible in the world, he naturally wants to make contributions and leave a name in history.
"Opportunities are reserved only for those who are prepared."
Ding Xiao saw that Lu Bu was already a little moved, so he continued to agitate, "Now, the heroes of the world who have a little vision have begun to recruit talents, if we want to make a difference in the troubled times, we must also act in advance!" ”
"Hmm."
Lu Bu's thoughts at this time had been taken away by Ding Xiao, and he couldn't help but nodded, but he still had some concerns, "But Brother Xiao, I not only serve as the chief secretary of the state, but also have a position in the army, if I go with you, what will happen to these jobs?" ”
"It's just a master book, why should the eldest brother value it so much?"
Ding Xiao smiled lightly, "If the eldest brother believes me, follow me!" I promise, in less than three years, I will be able to make you at least pay homage to the general! ”
"Is that true?!"
Lu Bu's eyes lit up.
It must be known that although the Bingzhou Army usually calls Ding Yuan, Lu Bu and others generals, it is actually just an honorific title.
If you talk about the military position officially canonized by the imperial court, Ding Yuan at this time is just a captain, and he is still one step away from a real general.
And Lu Bu is only a Sima in the army, and his official position is even lower.
If he can be named a general within three years, even if he is a partial general, it will save Lu Bu a lot of time, and he will naturally be excited.
"I'm talking at least!"
Ding Xiao smiled confidently, this matter was easy for him!
In fact, in the future, once the division of the heroes begins, the major forces will reward their own generals, so that a large number of "miscellaneous generals" will emerge.
What's more, he was already preparing for the "Son of Heaven" at this time, if he could successfully hold the little emperor in his hands and canonize Lu Bu as an official general, wouldn't it be a matter of being captured?
"Good! I promise you! Whatever you say in the future, I will do it! ”
Lu Bu had been infected by Ding Xiao's pride at this time, so he nodded happily and agreed.
"Great! With the help of big brother, great things can be done! Thank you for your trust! ”
Ding Xiao was overjoyed.
The meaning that Lu Bu promised him was not only that Ding Yuan's life was guaranteed, but also that he added a layer of insurance to his own safety, he was equivalent to bringing an ace bodyguard with him, and he was basically at the height of invincibility!
What's more, some things that he was not sure about before, because of Lu Bu, have also become hopeful.
For example, the assassination of the Ten Standing Attendants, or even the assassination of Dong Zhuo, can be arranged now.
"Haha! Brother Xiao doesn't need to be like this, we are brothers, and we should help each other! ”
Lu Bu was also in a good mood, and completely recognized Ding Xiao, the righteous brother, in his heart.
This night, the two of them were very excited, and they chatted until late before falling asleep, and it was not until Xu Huang knocked on the door to bring breakfast that the two woke up and turned around.
After a hurried bite of food, several people rode to the county office and pulled out the county order that had also been sleepless all night.
To Lu Bu and Xu Huang's deep surprise, Ding Xiao insisted on parading the county order to the public, and also specially asked Xu Huang to find a few nurseries, and mixed in the crowd to throw some dirty things such as fruit peels and clods to the county order, which made the county order disgraced and miserable.
"Brother Xiao, we have to hurry in a while, why do you need to do this extra and waste time?" Lu Bu frowned and asked.
"Big brother, this Yang County is not big, and it doesn't take much time to parade the streets...... Besides, I am doing this to unite the people. ”
Ding Xiao did not hide his motives, and of course, he did not explain the special purpose of Minxin for him personally.
"Childe's move is very second!"
Xu Huang praised with relief, "If you want to have long-term peace and stability, you must unite the people!" Please look at the main book, my people just started to throw a few times, and they have already stopped, and now they are throwing things, but they are ordinary people! This proves that this county order is not popular at all in Yang County! Today, as soon as the people are so angry, the people's dissatisfaction will naturally drop a lot. ”
Hearing this explanation, Lu Bu nodded and stopped urging Ding Xiao.
After a while, Ding Xiao saw that the scene was almost hot, so he separated the crowd and walked into the middle.
"Alright, everyone calm down!"
He waved his hand to silence the audience, and then said with a smile, "I am the son of Ding Yuan, Ding Xiao, everyone listen to me." This county ordered Niu Fu to accept bribes, scourge the township, and die innocently! But the country has national law, and even if he is a capital crime, I have to take it back and let my father interrogate him, and then convict him before it is too late. ”
Seeing that there was some commotion in the crowd, he raised his voice and emphasized, "Rest assured, we will never cheat for personal gain!" To tell you the truth, I arrested this county order! In the name of my father Ding Yuan, I promise you that I will definitely punish this person severely according to the law and give the people of Yang County an explanation......"
Finally persuaded the excited people to get out of the way, and Ding Xiao, who was sweating profusely, finally got the reward of the system.
[Congratulations to the host, harvest a little power of faith!] 】
[Congratulations to the host, harvest a little power of faith!] 】
[Congratulations to the host, harvest a little power of faith!] 】
……
In a short period of time, Ding Xiao collected more than 40 points of popular support one after another.
And every once in a while, the people's morale is still growing slowly little by little.
It made him happy.
"This trip not only recruited Xu Huang and persuaded Lu Bu, but also gained so much popular hearts, it's really worth it!"
