Chapter 25 Searching for Generals
His whole body was bathing with his eyes closed, and suddenly the guards came to report that Dong Zhuo was coming.
He walked down the steps and stood in the courtyard to greet him, and soon, Dong Zhuo's huge figure greeted him, and he saluted slightly.
"You can't do that with a virtuous brother." Dong Zhuo hurriedly stepped forward a few steps to help him.
"What's the matter with the general?" Li Yuan asked.
Dong Zhuo raised his head, and then said with a smile: "Brother Xian, I am only more than ten years older than you, if you can afford to look down on Dong, you will be a brother." ”
Li Yuan also saw Tian Yi and Hu Zhen who came with him.
"That's a lot of virtue." Li Yuan said with a smile.
"What do you say about climbing high or not climbing, everyone has something that you don't know today." Dong Zhuo was noncommittal.
"What my brother said is reasonable." Li Yuan invited them in.
However, He Man and Hu Zhen were outside to learn martial arts, and the four of them sat down.
Now Li Yuan can't sit on the couch, he can only sit on the couch, and Dong Zhuo is also sitting on the couch with a big grin.
"Hey! There was a famine in Liangzhou, and now there are people everywhere! The two talked for a while, and Dong Zhuo suddenly changed his words.
Li Yuan didn't know what to do, and sighed: "War hurts people, but it hurts those honest people. ”
Dong Zhuo slapped his thigh and said, "It's not!" The day before yesterday, I went outside for a walk, and the people all ran to Hanzhong. ”
He didn't know if Dong Zhuo was pretending to be hypocritical, but now he didn't have the brutality and ruthlessness he had a few years later, and he complied: "Who said it wasn't!" ”
"Brother, what do you say we should strike?" Dong Zhuo blurted out.
Li Yuan glanced at Tian Yi and found that this guy was gloomy and didn't speak, but he was annoyed, so he hurried back to his home, spent some money to buy an official, and said, "The little brother has already had this intention, when will it be a head to fight like this?" ”
When Dong Zhuo heard this, his mouth grinned even bigger, and said, "In a few days, we will make it clear to the adults." ”
Li Yuanyuan hurt and said, "Brother, I'm just a little Sima ......"
Before the words fell, Dong Zhuo took over the conversation and said: "Brother, you don't know yet, the old general Huangfu has seen that you made meritorious service last time, and he has already reported your merits to the court, and I believe that you will be promoted soon." ”
When Li Yuan heard this, he suppressed the excitement in his heart and said, "Okay! But I just don't know if the rebels are willing to sue for peace? ”
Dong Zhuo's eyes narrowed and said: "I can't tolerate them, now they have an army of more than 100,000 people, and there are countless grains and grass every day, so they can only plunder and be self-sufficient, but this year's disaster in Liangzhou, how can they be allowed to talk about the conditions again." ”
As the conversation deepened, Li Yuan slowly recalled, although the current Han Dynasty was stormy, it still had the majesty of a great power, even if Liu Hong wanted to fight it, the ministers below would definitely have to stop it.
You can beg to surrender, but what kind of bullshit is to ask for peace, he agreed just now, and now it is not easy to repent, and said: "The war between the two countries is called peace, we might as well surrender?" ”
Dong Zhuo didn't know what to do, his eyes stared at him stunned, and he agreed.
After sending Dong Zhuo and his party away, he muttered: "What is this Dong Fat Man doing here, inexplicable?" ”
At this time, Huang Shao came into the house, holding a few bundles of bamboo slips in his hand, and said, "My lord, the military book has been borrowed." ”
This book was asked by him to the Wugong County Commander, and it was Sun Tzu's Art of War, and he was going to study it.
"Hmm. How is the training of soldiers and horses? Li Yuan asked him to put it on a case.
Huang Shao said: "The soldiers all work hard. ”
Li Yuan thought for a moment and said, "You go!" ”
Huang Shao retired, he spread out the bamboo slips, and slowly browsed.
Three days later, the imperial decree finally came, to the effect that he still wanted to urge the troops to completely eliminate the traitors, and in the end, Li Yuan was only mentioned in a few words, and he was promoted to the rank of captain for his merits, and the official was promoted to one level.
declined the invitation to the banquet of Huangfu Song and others, and at this time in Li Yuan's residence, Dian Wei, He Man, Huang Shao and other generals were all there, but He Yi was still seriously injured.
"Congratulations, my lord, I respect you." Huang Shao smiled and picked up a glass of wine.
Li Yuan said happily: "You kid! ”
The gunshot wound did not recover, and he only took a small sip.
"Don't worry, in a few years, you can become a general." Li Yuan saw that he finished drinking, and then said.
"That's a good idea." He Man said excitedly.
Looking at the happy appearance of the three of them, Li Yuan couldn't help but feel the power of wealth and glory, but he couldn't tell his heart, but he also had to motivate them.
"In this troubled era, it is the time for the husband to make contributions, and he must not slack off." He said to Huang Shao again, "Have you heard of Guan Hai? ”
"I've met once." Huang Shao said.
"I've seen it too." He Man shouted from the side.
"Hmmm! What about the people? ”
Huang Shao thought for a while and said: "Guan Hai is a good person, chivalrous and righteous, and the most important thing is that he is strong in martial arts. ”
Of course, Li Yuan knew that his martial arts were extraordinary, and he could fight Guan Yu for dozens of rounds, and his skills were definitely not low, and said, "Can you convince him to come?" ”
Huang Shao hesitated, and Li Yuan continued: "Don't worry, as long as he is willing to come, I will protect him as an official." ”
Huang Shao had some brains, knowing that Li Yuan said this, he would definitely not treat himself badly as an old man, but the road was far away, but when he saw Li Yuan staring straight at him, he agreed: "I am willing to persuade him to come to adulthood." ”
Li Yuan nodded and said, "A thousand troops are easy to obtain, but a general is hard to find." Whether you succeed or not, you have to come back quickly, I can't live without you. ”
Huang Shao was moved: "My lord, just rest assured, after finishing this, I will definitely return soon." ”
Li Yuan suddenly remembered a few more people, and said: "When you come back, you go to Hebei again, I heard that there are four strong martial arts people in Jizhou, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, and Gao Lan, as long as you inquire a little, you don't have to look for it." ”
Huang Shao happily accepted the order and asked, "My lord, when will you leave for your humble position?" ”
Li Yuan knew that Guan Hai was just an ordinary person and would almost come, but Hebei Sitingzhu would almost not come, he was just holding a fluke mentality.
"If the time is long, I am afraid that something will happen, so you will pick thirty brothers tomorrow, bring some more coils, and take my codex to avoid unnecessary trouble." Li Yuan got up, walked to the bookcase, wrote a sentence for the country and the people, and hoped that the government would be accommodating, and finally branded his own seal and handed it to Huang Shao.
Huang Shao put it down, and Li Yuan said again: "He Man, it's up to you to train the troops these days." ”
He Man made a bitter face and said, "My lord, how can I train soldiers?" You'd better find someone else! ”
Li Yuan smiled inwardly, but it didn't show it on his face, and said, "You can't train soldiers, don't you know how to fight?" Every day you pick out a hundred men to fight against the rest, but every man has a club, and he can't kill anyone. ”
When He Man heard this, he thought it was okay, so he agreed.
The next day, Huang Shao came to say goodbye to Li Yuan, and he asked him to pay more attention, and the thoughtful words that came back earlier made his eyes a little moist, and Huang Shao was so moved that he didn't know why.
When the time came to July, Li Yuan's injury was completely unhindered, and He Yi was fine, but he couldn't exercise vigorously yet, and the other wounds on his body were well healed, but there was only one wound that directly penetrated his shoulder, and I don't know if it would leave sequelae.
