Chapter 49: Li Dian and Li Tong and Wei Yu

Li Tong, the word Wenda. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the Li family in Shanyang.

Shangwu since childhood, although he is favored by the elders of the family, he has always called himself a ranger in the Jiangxia area. Li Dian's younger brother, there is no detailed record of this blood relationship in history.

Li Tong's early experience is also very legendary. At the beginning of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Chen Gong raised troops, and Li Tong joined his subordinates.

At that time, in the land of Jiangxia, there was a strong man called Zhou Zhi, with about 2,000 men and horses, and Chen Gong was in harmony on the surface, but he couldn't lack dirty things in private. At that time, Li Tong offered a plan to ask Chen Gong to kill Zhou Zhi, but Chen Gong was afraid and did not dare to do it. So, Li Tong was the master, invited Zhou Zhi to come to his house to drink, killed him, and annexed his subordinates.

Because of Li Tong's ability, his prestige soon surpassed that of Chen Gong, although Chen Gong was extremely dissatisfied with Li Tong, but he was also forced to hand over the leadership of this army.

Chen Gong's wife had a younger brother, Chen He, who was angry that he beheaded Chen Gong and raised troops to confront Li Tong. Li Tong was furious when he heard the news, and after the soldiers broke through Chen He, he beheaded him and came to Chen Gong's tomb to pay respects.

Even though Chen Gong did a lot of things that couldn't stop Li Tong, Li Tong still respected his old boss and avenged him for his blood revenge. Such a flesh-and-blood man was immediately respected by the surrounding rangers. When the winter was delayed this year, he even scattered all his savings to help the victims and share the chaff with the Confucian scholars.

Not long ago, Li Tong finally exterminated the Yellow Turban in the Lujiang area of Jiangxia through a bloody battle, captured Wu Ba, the commander of the canal, and successfully surrendered the rest of the army.

All of a sudden, Li Tong's power had skyrocketed, but at this time he got a letter from his uncle and teacher.

The letter stated that his brother Li Dian had already defected to Yuan Shu, and for the sake of the Li family's family business, the family decided to let him take his subordinates to Cao Cao.

He knew that this was a ploy of the branch, but he was very unwilling in his heart. For so long, he had heard of Yuan Shu's goodness, and even when he gave relief to the victims, he also took Yuan Shu as an example, if he didn't have the letter from his family, he would have gone to Yuan Shu when the imperial army went south to attack Pengtuo.

Why is it always Li Dian! Since he was a child, he thought that Wen Taowu was not inferior to his brother, but the people of the family obviously valued Li Dian more, and in a fit of anger, he left Shanyang and gave up the status of the family. was originally a freewheeling life, but it was ruined by a letter, and he didn't understand why he even needed to be a subordinate of Li Dian in terms of choosing the amount of the lord!

He was angry, he was unwilling, when he knew that Yuan Shu was leading the East Road army south, he decided to live for himself! If you can be under Yuan Shu's subordinates, you can let the family know which one is stronger and weaker than Li Dian!

However, just when he was close to Yuan Shu's army, he once again received a letter from his uncle Li Yan, this time the content was actually to give up and join Cao Cao and switch to Yuan Shu!

Although he didn't understand the reason, he was still very happy in his heart, so that he would not disobey the will of the family, and he would be able to comply with his wishes.

It is said that Li Tong has also experienced a lot of wars, but now that he is in Yuan Shu's camp, he still feels very nervous, Yuan Shu is not a cowardly person like Chen Gong, he doesn't know what kind of treatment he will give him in the future.

The tent was pushed open, and Li Tong instinctively looked back, and it was not Yuan Shu who fell into his eyes, but the person he liked the most.

"The lord will be here soon, Wenda will wait a while." Li Dian looked at Li Tong and said a few words casually, but he stood on the other side, reluctant to approach.

Looking at Li Dian's dress, it was obvious that his status in the Yuan Shu army was not low, although he was jealous, Li Tong couldn't help but ask: "I don't know what position Man Cheng has in the Yuan Gong Army." ”

The eldest brother Li Tong is reluctant to be called, and he has not officially surrendered to Yuan Shu, so he can only call Yuan Gong.

"Lieutenant Colonel."

Lieutenant in the Eastern Han Dynasty in the military establishment, is the rank second only to the general, a lieutenant generally has four or five military horses, each military Sima is a 500 division, so a captain is a direct subordinate of 2,000 to 3,000, self-contained.

Li Dian just voted for Yuan Shu and has already become a lieutenant, how can this not make Li Tong red-eyed. Li Dian was very calm when he spoke, but in Li Tong's opinion, it was Chi Guoguo's provocation!

As soon as Li Tong was about to speak, the curtain was pushed open again, and three people had already walked in, led by the exquisite silver armor, which looked like the superior person.

"See the lord, see the military advisor." As Li Dian quickly bowed down, Li Tong had already determined that this person was Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu had many military advisors in the army, and he could sit in the right seat.

"Yes." Yuan Shu sat on his main seat, and now his army has stopped in Qian County, originally he was going to travel with Wei Yu today, but because Li Dian told him that his clan brother took his subordinates to vote, there was no way Yuan Shu could only take Xun Yue and Liao Hua here.

It must be done, although he is optimistic about Li Dian these days, it does not mean that he is also optimistic about Li Dian's brother, and this Li Tong is still a concubine who has not been at home for a long time. In his opinion, he was just a second- or third-rate general, and if he didn't want to reassure Li Dian, he was not willing to meet him in person.

"You're Li Wenda?"

Yuan Shu rubbed his temples, and asked casually, the thunderstorm for a few days made the wound on his shoulder faintly painful. Without the slightest feeling of sleep, he dragged Xun Yue to talk all night, so his mental state can be imagined.

When Li Tong heard this, he already knelt on one knee, although Yuan Shu's appearance was very casual, but he couldn't help but relax at all.

"Back to Yuan Gong, the villain is Li Tong."

"Hmm!" Yuan Shu got a response and reluctantly squeezed out a smile, "I heard Mancheng say that you killed Wu Ba in Jiangxia?" And also co-opted his subordinates? It is indeed a man. ”

Li Tong was overjoyed and said: "The villain is just a fluke, and now there are 5,000 subordinates who are willing to listen to the queen's dispatch together!" ”

Yuan Gong has become the lord, and Li Tong has begun to show his family background at this moment, ready to surrender.

"Five thousand subordinates is not a lot." Yuan Shu seemed to be thinking, and after a while, he said: "Since Wenda is recommended by Mancheng, why don't these five thousand subordinates be temporarily under the command of Mancheng." ”

After Yuan Shu finished speaking, he glanced at Li Dian, "There is indeed no captain under 5,000 men, but the appointment of this partial general still needs to be signed by the imperial court, and when this southern expedition is successful, I will protect Mancheng to the imperial court." ”

"Thank you, lord!" Li Dian immediately knelt on the ground, but Yuan Shu was lying on the chair, as if he was done, and he didn't care about Li Tong at all.

Li Tong in the camp had a pale face, and the subordinates he had just brought were given to Li Dian in a blink of an eye, not to mention, he didn't even get a position, how could he not be angry?

Xun Yue frowned, already seeing Li Tong's expression in his eyes, he approached Yuan Shu and whispered in his ear: "Lord, this Li Tong is sincere after all, so he can't not give him a position." ”

Yuan Shu, who was still thinking about the situation on Wei Yu's side in his mind, was woken up by Xun Yue, cast an embarrassed smile at Li Tong, and said: "Don't blame Wenda, there have been too many things recently, and this memory has fallen, since Wenda and Mancheng are brothers in the clan, I will temporarily wronged Wenda in any other department under Mancheng." Wait until he makes a contribution and then make a reward. ”

Sima of the other department is already a good position, if it is according to Li Tonglai, it is far higher than him

Expect. But now it's different, Li Dian is just a captain more than ten days before himself, and according to Yuan Shu's words just now, he will soon be recommended as a partial general. And he is a small Sima of another department? What's even worse is that Li Dian is still in moderation?

Although Yuan Shu said that he would be rewarded for his meritorious service every day, whether he made meritorious service or not was not a matter of Yuan Shu's words? When will this day be waiting?

"Thank you, Lord." Li Dian pressed his teeth and thanked him, but his mind was already thinking about whether it was right to defect to Yuan Shu.

Who doesn't want to be able to make a career and have a bright future? Now Yuan Shu's attitude is obviously not optimistic about himself, so what's the use of trying hard? What's more, under Li Dian's hands, he has been able to foreshadow his bleak prospects.

Yuan Shu lay on the backrest again and waved his hand, meaning to let the two of them retreat. He seemed to be a little tired, since he couldn't go to Xujiazhuang with Wei Yu today, he was planning to rest on the spot.

The footsteps below had already sounded, and Yuan Shu, who had closed his eyes, knew that it must be Li Dian and Li Tong who were ready to retire, but when he was about to calm down and fall asleep, he was startled by a loud noise.

"Which one is Li Tong!" Wei Yu tore open the curtain and strode in, and Xu Shu, Huang Zhong, and Huang Wudie behind him all looked at each other, not knowing what kind of neurosis Wei Yu had.

"Which one is Li Tong?" Wei Yu didn't notice Yuan Shu at all, just looked everywhere in this tent, except for the three people he brought back from Xujiazhuang, they were all familiar faces.

Those guards who protected Yuan Shu in the account did not count, Wei Yu glanced at it and soon saw a fresh face.

"You're Li Tong?" Wei Yu's eyes were already red because of the army's poor rest, but in Li Tong's eyes, it seemed to be angry.

Coupled with the constant roaring of his name, Li Tong even thought that Wei Yu had a blood feud with him, but he really couldn't remember where he had a bond with this young man.

Xun Yue blackened his face, walked down, patted Li Tong and said, "This is the Weiyu Guard." ”

Wei Yu's name is really thunderous to describe it, Li Tong thinks that he doesn't have a sin Wei Yu, so he calls himself only one possibility... The depressed Li Tong was like grasping a life-saving straw.

"I've seen the military division, and the last general is Li Tong."

Wei Yu glanced at the young man, stared at Li Dian for a while, and found that his appearance was indeed somewhat similar.

Wei Yu swore that Li Dian was Li Tong's brother in the romance, and he still heard Xu Shu talk about this blood relationship on the road.

Maybe he just blindly paid attention to Xu Jiazhuang, and fundamentally ignored Li Dian's recommendation of Li Tong to Yuan Shu, and after being disappointed from Xujiazhuang today, as soon as he heard Xu Shu mention it, he hurried back. He estimated that he didn't blow the wind himself, and with Yuan Shu's two hundred and five personality, he would snub Li Tong again.

"Mancheng is your brother?"

"Exactly."

"What weapon do you use?"

"A halberd ear."

"Who are Li Yan and Li Zichang?"

"It's the uncle of the last general, and it's also the mentor of the last general."

"You can't be wrong! You are indeed Li Wenda! Wei Yu's roaring had stopped, and he slapped Li Tong's shoulder with great joy, and those who didn't know thought they were old friends again.

But Wei Yu knew that this person was definitely a fierce general who was underestimated by history, and it was needless to say that he was righteous, when Cao Cao conquered Zhang Xiu, it was this person who brought troops to help him in the starry night and broke Zhang Xiu.

When Cao Ren encircled and suppressed Guan Yu, he also came to help, and when he encountered a horse and deer antlers on the road, he personally bowed down to deal with it, but unfortunately he died of a serious illness on the road.

According to legend, this person's halberd method is superb, and his strength is one of the best, and what is even more rare is that he is brave and loyal, and he has been unmoved in the face of Yuan Shao and Liu Biao's solicitation several times.

Such a good general, how could Wei Yu let Yuan Shu snub him?

Yuan Shu saw Wei Yu's expression and knew that he must have underestimated Li Tong, and came to Wei Yu with an apologetic smile, as if he was waiting for Wei Yu to ask.

This is not to say that Yuan Shu was afraid of Wei Yu, but how many famous generals Wei Yu recruited for him, and now he is a good general sent to the door, but he almost buried him, no matter how he said it, he was ashamed of his old subordinates' good intentions.

Being able to bend and stretch and know how to be humble is also the advantage of Yuan Shu in this time and space.

Wei Yu sighed, and asked, "Wenda came with five thousand soldiers, I don't know what position the lord arranged for Wenda?" ”

"This... For the time being, it is another Sima, and he will be rewarded for meritorious service in the future. ”

"Hey, the lord has been overworked recently, and I don't know the name of Wenda. According to the language, Wenda only did Sima of other departments, and he was indeed wronged. ”

Of course, Wei Yu would not lose Yuan Shu's face in public, so he bowed down and said: "My subordinates implore the lord to order Wenda to be the captain, and the five thousand subordinates he brought are still controlled by him." ”

Yuan Shu nodded immediately when he heard this, glanced at Li Tong, and appointed him on the spot, he was absolutely convinced of Wei Yu's discerning vision, so he had already begun to look forward to how Li Tong would perform well in the future.

Li Tong, who was overjoyed, had already thanked him, and now because Wei Yu came back, Yuan Shu naturally couldn't continue to rest, so he immediately asked everyone to sit down, wanting to ask about Wei Yu's visit to Xujiazhuang today.

"Xu Zhuangshi has seen it, he is indeed a man, under the situation of the Yellow Turban Rebellion here, he led the township to build a dock wall to protect himself, and his good name can be passed on for 800 miles."

Xu Shu shook the feather fan and began to report to Yuan Shu, you must know that they were not allowed to see Xu Zhu when they went to Xujiazhuang a few times before, but now they have not only seen but also been praised by Xu Shu, how can Yuan Shu not be moved.

"Did Yuan Zhi tell him about solicitation?"

Wei Yu interrupted Xu Shu, who was about to speak, and preemptively said, "When I saw Zhongkang today, he was leading Xiang Yong to fight against the nearby bandits, and when I saw him, I stepped forward to help, and finally destroyed that gang of bandits."

I have already said the intention of the lord's solicitation, but Xu Zhongkang is also strange, and he said that he is tired and will talk about it tomorrow if he has something. ”

"Don't you want to be a leader? Or did I not use my kiss to go, so that he did not see sincerity? ”

"The lord is definitely willing to go out, the lord did not go in person should be a big reason, Xu Jiazhuang has thousands of relatives, this Xu Zhu must be looking for a master who can comfort his clan."

Xu Shu glared at Wei Yu, as if he was blaming him for robbing himself, and now when Wei Yu finished speaking, he also said: "I and Zhong Dao also understand what he means, and immediately said that the lord will go in person tomorrow, and his clan will also be properly arranged, but he also mentioned a request." ”

"What requirements?" As soon as Yuan Shu asked, the people in Xujiazhuang who were present and didn't go all pricked up their ears.

"It's to compete with him." Huang Zhong smiled bitterly, "This Xu Zhongkang made such a request and left directly, and he showed his hand before leaving. ”

"Huh?" Yuan Shu was even more angry, which could make the peerless tiger general Huang Zhong embarrassed, and he wanted to know what Xu Zhulu's hand was.

Huang Zhong spread his hands and said, "If you say that you will fight with that Xu Zhongkang, Zhong will naturally be sure to defeat him." But if you lift hundreds of pounds of boulder with one hand like him, you can't do it..."
