The ink-colored battle flag of the Luoyang Army flew in the wind, making a "hulala" sound, fluttering violently in the sky above the barracks, like surging dark clouds.

Standing at the door of the barracks, looking at the people who were gradually moving away and still looking back at the barracks, Liu Wei's expression became more and more ugly.

"Your Highness!" Standing behind Liu Bian, watching the figures of the people slowly disappear at the end of the horizon, Guan Qing whispered to Liu Bian: "I didn't sleep all night last night, and I encountered so many things, Your Highness should go back to the tent to rest earlier." ”

"How does this king sleep!" Tightly twisting his brows, the muscles of Liu Wei's face twitched violently a few times, looked at the direction where the people left, and said to Guan Qing: "When eating and drinking, this king deliberately asked the villagers about the political voice here. The officials are quite incorruptible, but they ......"

"It's hard to find honest and good officials, and Your Highness shouldn't be too entangled!" Liu Wei only said half of his words before he stopped, and Guan Qing whispered behind him: "Officials who are honest and honest are better than favoritism and corruption after all. ”

"He has no political achievements, but he only instigates the people to work when the king passes through here." Pouting and sneering, Liu Wei said to Guan Qing: "Since it can't bring blessings to the place, what is the use of this king wanting these officials?" ”

After saying this, Liu Wei turned around and walked towards the barracks, and as he walked, he left a sentence for Guan Qing: "Someone went to invite the general's division, and this king has something to discuss with him." ”

"No!" From Liu Bian's face, Guan Qing saw that he was a little unkind, and knew that the officials here wanted to curry favor with Liu Bian, but unintentionally they were slapped on the horse's legs.

The soldier clenched his fists, bowed to Guan Qing without speaking, turned around and quickly ran into the barracks to find Pang Tong.

Along the way, Liu Wei saw a lot of Luoyang soldiers who had received cloth shoes, and they were smiling happily tying cloth shoes in one place with ropes, and hanging them around their necks to show off to those officers and soldiers who did not receive cloth shoes.

"Come here!" Seeing a young soldier smiling with a smile on his face and playing with the cloth shoes hanging from his neck with hemp rope, Liu Wei stopped and beckoned to the soldier.

Hearing Liu Bian's call, the soldier was taken aback, did not dare to slack off, hurriedly ran to Liu Bian, and saluted Liu Bian with his fists in fear.

"Show the king!" Holding out a hand to the soldier, Liu Wei muttered at the soldier's cloth shoes hanging around his neck.

got the cloth shoes, and he was very proud in his heart, but the soldier didn't expect Liu Wei to ask him to take a look.

He was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly took off the cloth shoes tied with fine hemp rope from his neck and handed them to Liu Wei.

took the cloth shoes, and Liu Wei put them in his hand and played with them carefully.

This is a pair of shoes made of thick black cloth with a thick black upper and a mille-feuille sole made of cloth. Touched in the hand, these cloth shoes give people a very thick feeling.

Just from that feel, Liu Wei can feel that if these shoes are worn on the feet, the walk should be particularly comfortable.

"Love these shoes?" Handing the cloth shoes back to the soldier, Liu Wei smiled slightly and asked him, "Could it be that the leather boots on your feet are not as comfortable as the cloth shoes?" ”

Taking the cloth shoes with both hands, the soldier bowed deeply, with a heavy trepidation in his tone, and said to Liu Wei: "Your Highness, leather boots should be more comfortable to wear than cloth shoes. It's just that these cloth shoes will make the villain feel like he has seen his mother again......"

"Oh?" Hearing what the soldier said, Liu Wei tilted his head slightly and asked him, "Could it be that your mother also made such shoes for you?" ”

"When the villain was young, he had a pair of such shoes!" Holding the cloth shoes in his hand, the soldier bowed deeply and said to Liu Wei: "That is the mother sewn for the villain with the accumulated cloth, which is a hundred times more comfortable to wear than straw sandals!" It's just that the villain is poor and has lived so big, but he only wears a pair of cloth shoes! ”

"Straw sandals are mostly made of nettles!" Looking at the soldier, Liu Wei nodded and said to the soldier: "It's really not very comfortable to wear on your feet." Cloth shoes are lightweight, and perhaps they are no worse than leather boots. When we were children, the shoes on our feet and the clothes on our bodies were full of the love that our mothers placed on us. I miss my mother, I have to live a good life, and one day I will make a meritorious career and correct this distorted troubled world, and you can return to your hometown and honor your mother......"

When Liu Wei said this, the soldier's face suddenly became extremely ugly. lowered his head and was silent for a while before he said to Liu Wei in a weak gnat voice: "When the Yellow Turban rebelled, the villain's parents were already starving to death!" There is no one else in the family except the villain! Even if you return home, it is meaningless. In this life, the villain is only willing to follow His Highness's army and fight with His Highness in the north and south! ”

"The world is in chaos, and it is the common people who suffer!" Reaching out and gently patting the soldier's shoulder twice, Liu Wei raised his face, squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the sky, sighed lightly and said: "This king also has a mother, and he is also permanently separated from his mother, and there will be no day to meet again." People like you and me who have lost their loved ones should work together to make the world stable and make this world less human tragedy of separation! We are not fighting for the sake of killing, but for the sake of no more killing in the world, no more separation of flesh and blood! ”

was slapped on the shoulder twice by Liu Wei, holding the pair of cloth shoes sent by the people to the labor army in his hand, the soldier nodded heavily, and responded very decisively.

Speaking of the loss of relatives, Liu Bian's face also became very lonely. It has been a few years since he came to this era, and he has never found a way to return to the past era, although there are many people here who need him to spend his life guarding, he has been a little hesitant, even if he is given the opportunity, will he willingly return to the era in which he lived before, but the longing for his parents is a heart disease that can never be healed in his heart.

Following behind Liu Bian, listening to Liu Bian's words, Guan Qing's expression also became a little lost. She has no parents since she was a child, and followed Guan Hai to vote for the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, and since then she has lived a life of fighting in the south and the north, and fighting with blood and swords and swords all day long.

The troubled times have made them orphans without parents, and they have lost their dearest relatives in their lives at the age when they should have snuggled up to their parents' knees.

Whenever Liu Wei mentions his lost parents, everyone will naturally think of Empress He who was killed by Dong Zhuo. But no one knew that what Liu Wei really missed in his heart was not the hard-working queen, but his biological parents after two thousand years.

"Let's go!" Gently patted the soldier's shoulder, and when the soldier nodded in response, Liu Wei greeted Guan Qing who was following behind him, and walked quickly towards the handsome tent.

led Guan Qing into the tent, Liu Biancai sat down in the tent, and the voice of the guards came from outside: "Your Highness Qiqi, the military division has arrived!" ”

"Advisor, please come in!" Hearing that Pang Tong was coming, Liu Wei hurriedly shouted outside.

As soon as his shout fell, Pang Tong lifted the curtain of the tent, walked in from outside, bowed with his fists folded, and saluted him.

"Strategist, please take a seat!" He made a gesture of invitation to Pang Tong, and when Pang Tong sat down, Liu Wei sat up straight, faced him, and said to him: "Please invite the military division to come, but this king does not know how to deal with something, so he invited the military division to get an idea for this king." ”

"Your Highness is talking about this Hedong official?" Before Liu Wei's words fell, Pang Tong continued his words and said: "The officials here have ordinary political reputations, and their political achievements are even more unparalleled. When the army passed by, they didn't think about how to hide their tracks for the army, but instead instigated the people to work the army, which can be described as extremely stupid! ”

"Those who know me, military advisor!" Staring at Pang Tong with both eyes, Liu Wei nodded heavily, and said to Pang Tong: "What this king needs is officials who can benefit the locality, not a group of mediocre talents to govern the locality. ”

"What Your Highness said is very true!" Pang Tong nodded, with a smile on his very irregular face, he clenched his fists and said to Liu Wei: "Your Highness doesn't want to remove all the officials here and replace them with some talented people!" ”

"Exactly!" Liu Wei nodded without hesitation, and said to Pang Tong: "This king invites the military advisor to come, one is to give the king an idea, and the other is to ask the military advisor to seek virtue and govern the place!" In the future, under the rule of this king, he will not be able to use mediocre officials! ”

"No!" To Liu Wei's surprise, it was his words that fell, and Pang Tong categorically rejected his proposal and said to him: "Your Highness's appointment of virtuous people is understandable, but people who are honest but have no political achievements also have their use!" ”

"Oh?" After listening to Pang Tong's words, Liu Wei frowned slightly, and asked Pang Tong: "What is the use of a mediocre official?" This king doesn't know, and he hopes that the military advisor will solve his doubts! ”

"Honesty and honesty are the norm!" Putting down the fists he picked up, Pang Tong said to Liu Bian: "Seeking virtue from the people and entrusting them with important responsibilities, these people have not been in the officialdom at first, and they can still maintain their integrity, but if the breath around them gradually becomes turbid, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not form a party for personal gain and fill their pockets in the future!" Once the virtuous person is degraded, it is more terrible than the mediocre! ”

First of all, he briefly analyzed the pros and cons of finding virtuous officials from the people, and Pang Tong then said to Liu Bian: "If virtuous people enter the officialdom, the officialdom is clear, although most of the officials are mediocre, but no one forms a party and no one fills their own pockets. ”

"What the military advisor said is very true!" At first, he knew that most of the local officials were incompetent, and Liu Wei had already generated a raging anger in his heart, but after Pang Tong said this, his anger was suppressed slightly, leaned forward slightly, stared at Pang Tong without blinking, and asked Pang Tong: "With the intention of the military division, how should this matter be handled?" ”

"Looking for virtuous people from the people, you can't directly appoint local important posts!" Before Liu Bian's words were asked, Pang Tong said to him: "Let them first temper their lives for a few months in some places related to people's livelihood, and if they really have significant political achievements and are deeply affected by the wind of integrity, they will be entrusted with important tasks!" ”

"That makes sense!" Liu Wei nodded, looked at Pang Tong and said: "This king is too impulsive, he only thinks of one of them, but he doesn't think of going deeper, if it weren't for the military advisor, he almost missed a big thing!" This matter will be handed over to the military division to deal with, and the military division can start to prepare, and after the army returns to Luoyang, it will be implemented immediately! ”

"No!" After being appointed by Liu Bian, Pang Tong hurriedly stood up, clasped his fists with both hands, bowed down to Liu Bian, and said to Liu Bian: "Your Highness, rest assured, the minister will live up to his expectations!" ”
