Chapter 196: Digging Dong Zhuo's corner
As if in a dream, Li Qin was embraced by Li Qin and the generals into the lobby, Li Qin asked him to sit on the upper seat, and the generals were accompanied by the prime minister.
In the face of a hall full of people who are older than his officials, Li Dao's head is dizzy, and he can't distinguish between east and west, north and south, he has never received such respect in his life, he has never been taken so seriously, he almost can't believe that this is true, especially when Li Qin shouted one by one, it made him in the clouds, how to react, of course, he didn't dare to really call Li Qin a clan brother, that is, he kicked his nose in the face.
Several times, Li Dao wanted to open his mouth to apologize for Dong Zhuo, and asked Li Qin not to take the last incident to heart, for the sake of being an official in the same dynasty, to forgive Dong Zhuo's behavior, but every time he opened his mouth, he didn't say a few words, and he was diverted by Li Qin, not talking about official affairs, only talking about personal affairs.
Li Qin asked: "Brother clan, you are originally from Fuping, but why don't you work in Fuping, but you want to go to Bingzhou?" You went to the state first, and then went to the Western Regions, right? ”
Li Wei nodded and said: "Back to Li Lang's words, when he was young, he always wanted to make meritorious contributions, but his hometown was poor and difficult to survive, so he left Fuping with a team of people who moved south, and wanted to go to the Central Plains to make a living, but he met a robber on the way, I still had a few stupid strength, and I shot to repel the robbers, and was seen by a passing official, he accepted me as an entourage, he was an official in Bingzhou, and I followed him to Bingzhou, and then the official returned to his hometown, and recommended me to others before leaving, after several twists and turns, After several errands, he finally followed General Dong, and now he has come to the Western Regions with him, leading 400 elite soldiers to capture bandits on the Silk Road. ”
"I see!" Li Qin said with a smile: "It seems that the career of the clan brother in the first half of his life is still quite bumpy!" ”
The generals present nodded together, seeing that this Li Dao is not young, he has only brought four hundred soldiers after so many years, and he is not the chief general of a county, not to mention that he is still a soldier in the Western Regions, and the future is not bright.
Of course, except for Li Qin in the lobby, no one knows what Li Dao will be like in the end, and judging from Li Dao's official position now, it is indeed miserable, and it should be regarded as this life.
Zhang Yi said: "General Li, if you want to talk about how many soldiers I lead, in fact, I don't have many soldiers, but I am an official in Liangzhou, and I am the chief general of a county, so I can be regarded as at ease, and with Li Lang's help, I may be able to go up again in the future......"
Li Qin laughed and said: "Brother Zhang, you are polite, with your ability, even without my help, you can go up, I see that soon after, the errand of the captain of Beidi County, ten times will fall on your head, it is in your palm, we will call you Captain Zhang in the future!" ”
If you want to talk about the official position of the captain of Beidi County, there are generals in the Fujiao Army who can take on it, but Li Qin will take them to the Central Plains to fight after he comes, and secondly, he has to use Zhang Yi to set an example for others, as long as the people who are close to him Li Qin, even if they are not descendants, they can also be promoted, so that other generals will learn from Zhang Yi and become Li Qin's help, the power of the example is infinite, and Zhang Yi is exactly one.
Li Qin's words are not even hints, in fact, they are equivalent to making it clear in public, making it clear that Zhang Yi is the next lieutenant of Beidi County. When the generals heard this, they were quiet for a moment, and then they applauded, saying that Zhang Yi had a great merit and could be a colonel and captain, and Liu Jiu's Daxu was captured by him, and with this merit, becoming a colonel and captain was completely expected!
Zhang Yi was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, he didn't have much hope in his life, and he would be satisfied if he could be the chief general of a county until he retired, but he didn't expect that he came to support Li Qin this time, but he was just pregnant with the psychology of repaying his kindness, but he unexpectedly wanted to be promoted and become the chief general of a county, how could this not make him happy!
Zhang Yi thanked him repeatedly, and vigorously claimed that he was unwilling to be promoted, and only hoped that he could follow Li Qin's horse, kill more Hun soldiers, and do more good deeds for the people, which was enough!
Of course, he is polite, who doesn't want to be promoted, everyone wants to, it's just that he is the first!
In the laughter of the room, Li Dao also felt a little excited, the atmosphere here is completely different from Dong Zhuo's, Li Qin is generous, very easy-going to the generals, and following Li Qin can make great contributions and be a big official, this is a good boss that all officials hope to meet, as the saying goes, this is called encounterable but not sought!
Li Dao thought of Dong Zhuo again, Dong Zhuo wanted to be promoted, not to make much credit, of course, there was also merit, but Dong Zhuo was more focused on getting the trust of Shangguan, eager to become He Jin's henchman, and spent money to dredge, taking this promotion route. But no matter how much Dong Zhuo tosses, he is just a captain in the Western Regions, and he is afraid that he will not be able to serve for a long time, and he has to worry about not being promoted, not being able to please the officials, and worrying about countless things, even with him, he is worried about indiscriminately.
But look at Li Qin, don't worry about anything, and the generals who follow him don't have to worry, Li Qin can do everything for them, and the road to promotion doesn't have to spend money to pave it, and there is no need to flatter, as long as there is merit, it will be done, and following Li Qin, making some merit is the easiest.
Li Wei was envious in his heart, although he had no intention of surrendering, but he thought about how good it would be if he could follow a boss like Li Qin!
As if he understood his thoughts, Jia Xu, who was also a fellow Li Dao, spoke, he sat next to Li Dao, and everyone else was talking to Zhang Yi, but he whispered to Li Dao: "General Li, when it comes to relationships, we are still relatives, and we are all fellow villagers, we can be regarded as a family or not, and we all grew up drinking Fuping's water!" ”
Of course, Li Wei knows Jia Xu's identity, this is the military officer of the Fujiao Army, and he is also Li Qin's brother-in-law, not only is he close, his official position is big, but his words are quite weighty.
Li Wei also whispered: "Jia Juncheng, I already knew your name, but I didn't have the opportunity to meet before, this time I came to Dunhuang with a humble position, and I specially prepared a thin gift for you, and when the banquet is over, I will send it to your house." ”
Jia Xu smiled and said, "How can I have a mansion here, and our Fujiao Army is not interested in giving gifts." However, since it is a friendship of General Li, then I can't shirk it, and when you leave, I will also have a gift for you, and I hope you can accept it with a smile! ”
Li Dao was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "You don't have to return the salute, Jia Juncheng, you are too polite." ”
Jia Xu waved his hand, no longer talking about the gift, he said: "General Li, we are our own people, and the family does not speak two words." As the saying goes, if you don't kiss your hometown, you fight as brothers, and you go into battle as father and son, we treat you as brothers, because we are originally brothers, but Dong Zhuo may not treat you as a brother, right? Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent you this time! ”
Li Wei's face was gloomy, Jia Xu's words reached the key point, which just touched him. Usually he thinks that Dong Zhuo is not bad to him, but people have to die compared to people, and goods have to be thrown away, he saw how Li Qin treated his generals today, and then compared with Dong Zhuo, he immediately felt that Dong Zhuo was too uninteresting to him, not to mention it, and he couldn't remember it for a while, just said that it was close, before this mission came, everyone thought that it was a great loss of face and difficult to raise his head, but none of his colleagues said a word for him, but Dong Zhuo had to send him to let him come to Li Qinpan's relatives, for a military general, This is indeed a very cheap thing.
Li Dao said: "Jia Juncheng, what you said is reasonable, I, Li Dao, have been adrift for half my life, and I have never met the master!" He feels that he is quite capable, but he is not developed yet, so of course he is unlucky and has not met a good boss.
Jia Xu said: "The master does not know the master, and we never value this in the Fujiao army." If you don't believe General Li, please see, everyone calls Ah Qin Li Lang, how can anyone call him an official position, and I am his brother-in-law, I don't even need to call Li Lang, just call him Ah Qin, we are different here and elsewhere, there is the word love and meaning everywhere, you think that's the case, right? ”
Li Wei looked around, and saw that the general was drinking with Li Qin, everyone was talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was harmonious, and what was even more rare was that everyone did not look at them, which was just convenient for him to whisper to Jia Xu. I didn't feel that everyone didn't look at them, there was something wrong, maybe it was because everyone was very excited, especially that Zhang Yi, who was about to be promoted, so he was very excited, and he was gulping wine, and everyone was looking at him.
Li Wei did not doubt it, and then whispered to Jia Xu: "What Jia Juncheng said is extremely true, it is really a great pleasure in life to be able to follow Li Lang and follow him to make contributions!" He was very eager for Jia Xu to recruit him for Li Qin, but he was embarrassed to say it, so he could only show his yearning as much as possible, expecting Jia Xu to take the initiative.
Jia Xu is really a good person, he really took the initiative to mention this matter, he said in a low voice: "General Li, there is no future with Dong Zhuo, why bother to be angry under his men, you will do all the dirty work." Since you are Ah Qin's brother and I are relatives, it is better for me to build a bridge, and you can resign from your official position in the Western Regions and return to your hometown! Where to be a soldier is to eat and kill, why be angry, the fallen leaves return to the roots, even if you want to be a soldier, you are also defending your hometown, how can there be a reason to defend other people's hometowns, not to mention that others do not treat you as their own people! ”
Li Wei was silent for a moment and said: "I just have this intention, I just feel that after following Dong Zhuo for a while, if I leave like this, I can't stand him, although he is not too good to me, he is not too bad." ”
Jia Xu snorted and said, "He sent you this time, it's not too bad?" What should I do if it's too bad, can't I send you to kill Liu Jiu? Well, let's do it, this time Ah Qin sent troops to drive Liu Jiu away, even if you completed the task and saved Dong Zhuo's life, don't say that you don't owe him anything, even if you owe him, you have to pay it off this time, and he in turn owes you a favor! ”
