Chapter 16: Ambition

The huge dock lord's mansion meeting hall was obviously shining very brightly in the afternoon sun, but Li Ding's motionless figure made the flowing air seem extremely depressing. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Ding's cheeks, which did not have the slightest expression, suddenly pulled the corners of his mouth nervously.

"Isn't it worthy of the ability to be ambitious......

I, Li Ding, really gave birth to a good son!

Just a few months ago...... In other words, just before today, as long as Li Ding was willing, he could easily kill everyone around Li Cheng at any time for any reason, or even without any reason.

and even Li Cheng himself.

Because these are troubled times.

Relatives in troubled times may be the greatest help, or they may be the biggest enemies!

All grievances are just family matters; Who lives and who dies is just a means.

Kill and kill, it has nothing to do with it.

However, when Xiahouba showed the strength of the county soldier in front of everyone, he was a real "scholar" who needed absolute respect.

Beigou was originally based on recruiting displaced people, and there was no shortage of talents among the displaced people, either literary or military.

But how should the homeless people choose between the size and size of the twenty-six dock forts? Reputation is key.

A large dock like Lijiawu can provide security guarantees, which also requires better ability and a more loyal attitude.

Therefore, there are many displaced people who defect to Lijiawu every year, but there are not many who can really enter Lijiawu.

But in the same way, how a dock fort treats new immigrants and how it treats talents, such reputations and actions are also clearly displayed, and it is not a secret at all.

The homeless people will also decide which one to go to according to their own judgment, which is the choice of the Dock Fort.

Since Xiahouba is in Lijiawu, he is the "taxi" of Lijiawu, even if his identity is only the general of the second son of the dock owner.

Don't be disgraced!

It is true that the ability of the county soldier is only strong, and there is no ability to fly to the sky and the earth, and there is no invulnerability. As long as Li Ding was in Li Cheng's courtyard on that day, and arranged the archers, a round of salvo shots would not be enough.

However, now, as long as Li Ding does this, Li Jiawu's reputation will be completely stinky.

No pretentious person wants to go to a dock fort that is not respected, and there is not even a guarantee of life. Even a county magistrate is not spared, and the rest of the people, isn't everyone in danger? I'm afraid that there will be no displaced people in the future, and the fugitives will be indispensable!

It's just that for Li Ding, how can he rest assured to accept Li Cheng's sudden talent in civil and military affairs? How can we accept the status quo that a county magistrate is willing to be his general?

It all came too suddenly.

This kind of thing that is completely beyond ordinary cognition and almost unknown is always inexplicably frightening and cannot be stopped!

When Li Ding pulled down his face and received Xiahouba in this hall with great courtesy, he couldn't help but ask Li Cheng, who was accompanying him, about his changes and Xiahouba's origin.

In exchange, it was Li Cheng's undisguised pleasure ridicule:

"Father, are you scared? Afraid that I, the son who made you stranger, would no longer be able to be controlled by you? ”

"It's just that the appearance of a county magistrate makes you care so much, so even if the child wins the three counties of the East Pole, what confidence does the father have to take it over?"

"Father, I have heard the saying that a man's ability must be worthy of his ambition. And if the child can be controlled by you, then the end of the child's ability is only one county and one county. Because of your ability and vision, father, you can only be at ease in a place like Beigouyuan. ”

"By the way, the child's newly acquired home will be banned, but it is also ...... What about the county taxi! ”

When Li Cheng said the last sentence, the deliberate pause and the playful look made Li Ding unable to let go for a long time.

Originally, for this competition, Li Ding didn't think that Li Cheng would have any possibility of winning, he just wanted to see how far Li Cheng could support. As long as the situation is not too ugly, this test is passed.

And as long as Li Tan wins, then under the foreshadowing of his previous remarks, he can gain popularity and establish prestige in the dock fort. As for Li Cheng, after he was defeated, he could beat him up, and then send dock guards to accompany him in the name of experience.

Today, however......

"Dock Master...... About the dock pawn sent to the second son......? ”

After Li Yi sent Li Cheng off, he had actually been standing outside the hall for a long time, and seeing that Li Ding had always been like a wood carving clay sculpture, he finally couldn't help but think of a topic and asked.

Without waiting for Li Yi to finish speaking, Li Ding grabbed the teacup on the table and slammed it to the ground!

Fragments splattered, resounding crisply in the empty halls.

"Follow the example of Wen and Han, only give a hundred elites, and the rest, just make it up!"

Li Ding shook his sleeves angrily and smiled hideously.

"My good son, let my father take a good look at your ability and what kind of ambition you are worth!"

…………

"Childe, what you said to the dock master is too heavy...... It is not necessary to steal it. ”

On the narrow and tight trail in the dock, Li Cheng walked proudly in the front, enjoying the awe and curiosity of the dock people on both sides of the dock and the guidance and eyes; On the left-hand side, Xiahou Ba couldn't help but whisper.

Li Cheng stopped, turned around and glanced at Xiahou Ba with deep meaning.

"Zhongquan, I know that Sima Zhongda seized the foundation of Cao Wei's power and forced you to leave Shu Han, which you hate. But as a rare and wise general who is both a soldier and a politician, his words have always been something I admire...... Even if I know this, it is a compilation that has nothing to do with history books. ”

Li Cheng took another step and returned to his courtyard after a short time.

The dock fort is so large that it can accommodate more than 10,000 people; However, the dock fort is small, and the real distance is only a short time, and most of the corridors are looped, which adds to the distance.

After the ban closed the door of the upper courtyard, Li Cheng turned around and stood still: "That's what Sima Zhongda said...... I just can't get used to the situation where I want to get power beyond my own power, and this kind of ignorance spreads everywhere. ”

With an indifferent smile, Li Cheng said in a deep voice: "Although I also hate the Sima clan for stealing the supreme in the world, they wantonly squander the good world of great unification, unable to hold the northern frontier of China, and let the five chaos happen...... But at least at that time of Sima Yi, he was indeed much better than Cao Shuang! ”

"In a peaceful world, maybe it is not a big problem for mediocre people to seize power. But in the world of great contention, how much power you have, how much power you have, this is a matter of course. And those who are incompetent should know themselves and keep order, so that the people will not be in turmoil, and the people will not be wiped out. ”

"Li Dingmei calls himself a hero, not to mention his strength, but he is a high-grade county scholar, who can be subdued; It is said that his vision and means are only comparable to the likes of Kanjun County. Calculate everywhere and think you are proud, in fact, you can't count it, it's not that you can't count the North Ditch Plain! ”

"If he can know for his own sake, for the sake of not making me self-made, this cheap father will not be able to keep him rich and prosperous for the rest of his life; But if we work hard to win the three counties, or even a wider land, he wants to take them all as a father...... Hehe! ”

Li Cheng smiled coldly.

"Let him know earlier that it's for his good!"

Xiahou Ba was silent.

Because Li Cheng's words, although too cold, are indisputable facts.

The truth in troubled times will never be warm.

You know, you can live well; If you don't understand, no one will help you understand slowly, only the cold blade will make you regret it.

"Childe."

Yu Ban, who wanted to be low-key and silent, suddenly spoke, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"You have great ambition, great perseverance, and such a ruthless and decisive heart...... The posture of a hero, used to describe the son, should be very appropriate. It's just that I have a word, don't ask unpleasant: whether it is the King of Wei, the Marquis of Wu, or other heroes of the world, they all have unruly arrogance; If he can't be with his son, his son ...... Will you not hesitate to remove these stumbling blocks? ”

"What, I'm afraid that I'll be like the story of King Goujian?" Li Cheng asked with a smile.

Yu Ban clenched his fists and bowed his head and stood silent.

"You people are really a little too serious......"

Li Cheng put on a lazy and depressed expression, and spread his hands helplessly.

"In my time, at least on the table, there weren't so many fights and killings, life and death...... Even if there is, it's not something that a small character like me can access, right? ”

"It's just that I'm just like Sima Zhongda, and I can't get used to it...... I can't get used to seeing that era, a large number of incompetent people stealing high positions, patting their heads, squandering the people's fat and people's ointment at will, and even giving them to relatives and friends, and to foreign countries! ”

"When your desire for power only comes from the enjoyment of high-ranking officials, not from the sense of responsibility to our Chinese Han'er, the most intelligent, hard-working, and most down-to-earth and sincere hundreds of millions of people in this world, you are not worthy, and I am not convinced!"

"Sadly, it was a time of ridicule of dreams, a time when grass people were powerless and had no choice but to complain. I can't be an exception either...... That's why I cherish the opportunities in this life, and I will respect you even more...... Whether it's King Wei, or Marquis Wu, or someone's dream. ”

"Oh, as for what the spit is, you won't want to know......"

Li Cheng's face showed a slight mocking smile.

That was the only dissatisfaction we could express when we grass people couldn't even say dirty words.

It's not like now, there is such a possibility, I can use my life's efforts to change all dissatisfaction......

This is the greatest ambition of my life!
