"I hurt the people?"

Liu Zhong was stunned for a moment, and carefully recalled the past few months, he had never done anything to hurt the people at all! Liu Zhong looked at Xi Zhicai a little strangely,

"When I have done something that has hurt the people, please tell me what I wanted. ”

"Isn't this the attack on Xingyang?"

"Xingyang riots, anti-thieves rebellion, I am leading the imperial court to suppress the riot, but you slander me for hurting the people, Mr. Xi Zhicai, what are your intentions?"

, I'm afraid that this drama is not sick, and the master will treat you.

Liu Zhong's eyes were cold, and he released the coercion on his body, accompanied by a murderous aura that continued to emanate, and everyone immediately felt a burst of invisible pressure, and they all felt uncomfortable.

Among them, Xi Zhicai was taken care of by Liu Zhong.

Xi Zhicai is not cowardly.

"Hmph"

He snorted lightly and said:

"Today, the Han family is unconscious, the eunuch Zhang Rang is in trouble, the general He Jin has done nothing, since the Yellow Turban Uprising, the people's life is not as good as a day, and things that change children and eat have happened from time to time.

I heard that Xingyang Li Mu and Zhao set up a righteous army, beheaded corrupt officials, and opened the granary to distribute to the people, this is a good deed, and what is the crime.

General Liu, you just said that the people are the most important, but just because the Son of Heaven ordered you to exterminate the righteous army, the final victim is not Li Mu, Zhao Li and others, but the people of Xingyang, it can be seen that in your heart there is only the Son of Heaven and no people!"

Xi Zhicai did not back down in the face of Liu Zhong's coercion, although the cold sweat had wet his back, he still argued with Liu Zhong, and what he said did have some truth in him.

However, as soon as Liu Zhong wanted to refute, Xun Yu couldn't stand it anymore, he stood up and reprimanded:

"Zhicai, I know that you care about the people, but after all, the Son of Heaven is the current saint, and Zhang Rang and others are disturbing, so he will make a wrong judgment, you shouldn't slander the Son of Heaven like this, it's really a big rebellion. ”

Among the people present, Xun Yu is the most traditional and the most supportive of the Han family, in fact, Xun Yu has debated with Xi Zhicai many times in private, and it is also because of the Han family, if it weren't for the very good relationship between the two, I'm afraid they would have waved goodbye long ago.

In fact, these four Xun Yu and Chen Qun are biased towards the Han family, while Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai are just the opposite, as the so-called Tao is different, but they can still be friends, it can be seen that this relationship is iron, probably because they are conquered by each other's talents.

And the reason why they have different ideas may be because of their different backgrounds, Xun Yu and Chen Qun are wealthy scholars, while Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai are both poor talents.

"Wen Ruo, Zhicai, what are you doing here, didn't we say that we would not argue about this matter anymore, why did we quarrel again?"

Chen Qun hurriedly came out to stop it, every time he made a big noise, he was the peacemaker, but Guo Jia was heartless and drank on the sidelines, as if the matter in front of him had nothing to do with him.

Liu Zhong shook his head, although Xi Zhicai is talented, he is still too young, impulsive, and not very thoughtful.

Liu Zhong retracted the coercion on his body and said, "Hey, maybe everyone here has such questions, but do you know that what you have heard is only an incomplete part of it, so it is normal to have a misunderstanding about me. ”

"What's the misunderstanding?" Xi Zhicai also calmed down a little.

"You only know that Li Mu opened the granary, but you don't know that he only bought people's hearts, and he only distributed a small part of the grain, and the rest fell into his pocket.

Moreover, he connived at his subordinates, and Zhao Li's gang who conspired with him was born as a bandit, and they did everything in the city, robbing the people everywhere, robbing and captive many people's daughters, and Li Mu also killed the local rich family and occupied their mansions.

There are many other evil deeds like this, and people like him are leading the righteous army, perhaps because they have blocked the news, so you don't know about it. ”

In fact, he didn't know what Liu Zhong said at first, and only after communicating with the local people after capturing Xingyang did he know that Li Mu and others had done such things, and it was normal for Xi Zhicai and others in Yingchuan not to know.

"Is there such a thing, General Liu Zhong, what you said is true?" said Xi Zhicai.

Liu Zhong nodded.

"What I said is true, if you don't believe it, you can go to Xingyang to ask the local people in person, if I deceive you, I will be thundered by the sky, and I will never be able to turn over!"

Until now, Xi Zhicai also felt that Liu Zhong didn't need to deceive him, even if he wanted to deceive him, he didn't have to swear a heavy oath.

hurriedly hugged his fists and apologized: "It's that I don't distinguish between right and wrong, I blame General Liu, and I ask General Liu for forgiveness." ”

"Hahahaha, Zhicai, you care about the people, what is the crime, it's really interesting to be able to argue with Mr., come, let's continue to drink." ”

Liu Zhong laughed, no longer cared about what happened just now, and personally poured wine for Xi Zhicai.

"General Liu, this cup is self-punishment that I don't know,"

Xi Zhicai drank it all, and then poured another glass for himself.

"This cup is my toast to you. ”

"Okay!" Liu Zhong also raised his glass and drank freely.

After some heated debate, Liu Zhong began to get back to business, this guy's purpose here is not to simply drink, but to dig up talents.

These are all great talents in the world, and it would be a pity not to abduct them.

He said to everyone: "It is also fate to be able to meet you today, you are all well-educated people who have read poetry and books, and you must have some ambition in your heart. ”

"The situation in the world has always been divided for a long time, and it must be divided for a long time, and now the Han family is weak, and the heroes and heroes of the world are rising together, in fact, they are all waiting for the time to be ripe, competing for the Central Plains, and competing for hegemony in the world, I don't know what you think. ”

Guo Jia's face changed, he didn't expect Liu Zhong to say such a thing directly.

This Liu Zhong is talking about Haojie, obviously talking about himself, although Liu Zhong is not strong now, but the momentum emanating from his body is very domineering.

Guo Jia thought that he was the best in the world, but he didn't expect Liu Zhong to be unfathomable and so domineering.

Looking at everyone's surprised faces, Li Yuan was very satisfied, and after a long time, Guo Jia and the others gradually calmed down, Guo Jia hugged his fists and said:

"I didn't expect that General Liu Zhong was not only good at attacking the city and attacking the pool, charging into battle, but even the general trend of the world in a word, I admire it!"

Xi Zhicai thought more and said:

"General Liu Zhong is here to say this, in the final analysis, to recruit us, as General Liu said, since there are so many heroes and heroes in the world, why do you think we should favor you, we have a lot of choices.

First, you don't have many soldiers and horses.

Second, you are restricted by the general He Jin in the court.

Third, General Liu, you don't have a fief, then Dong Zhuo, Sun Jian, Liu Yan, Liu Biao, Ding Yuan, Gongsun Zhan, the Yuan family, and even Kong Rong and Tao Qian are more powerful than you, if you really want to choose, they are more worthy of my equal loyalty. ”

What Xi Zhicai said is indeed reasonable, in their opinion, Liu Zhong has no power, no food and no money, how can he compete for hegemony with a group of princes.

"Looking at the general trend of the world today, although heroes are rising, there are very few people who can achieve things.

Although Yuan Shu in Nanyang is good at soldiers, he has enough food but has a narrow amount of energy, and his eyes will be rewarded; although Gongsun Zan of Beiping has great wisdom, he is proud of his soldiers; Liu Biao's name in Jingzhou is Bajunwei Town, but Kyushu has a false name;

Jiangnan Sun Jian is more than brave and brave but not enough strategy; although Liu Yan of Yizhou is fertile and a country of thousands of miles of abundance, he is weak and incompetent, and he is more than capable of defending and not enterprising;

Although the Yuan clan in Hebei bears the name of the Fourth World and the Third Prince, Yuan Shao himself is fierce and timid, scheming and indecisive, doing great things without sacrificing his life, forgetting his life when he sees small profits, and it is difficult to achieve great things; although Dong Zhuo of Xiliang holds the army of tigers and wolves, he is extremely brutal and daring, and he is really a horse; except for Cao Cao and Liu Bei, the rest are all idle people, so there is no need to worry. ”

"Hehe, you may not know yet, I am now the emperor's own Zhenbei Zhonglang general, and I have five thousand unyielding divisions in my hands. ”

"Although I, Liu Zhong, don't have a fief now, but after I arrive in Naliangzhou, it will be difficult to say. ”

"Then you may not be optimistic about Liangzhou, it is a bitter cold place, but in my opinion, it is not, it is the backbone of the entire Central Plains, if you grasp it properly, you can enter the Central Plains, retreat to take the grassland, and all over the Western Regions. ”

Liu Zhong talked eloquently, as if everything was under his control, quite a bit of a pointer, this time everyone was confused, and they were really convinced.

Liu Zhong not only analyzed the general trend of the world thoroughly, but also knew the major princes well, and this intelligence can be called unpredictable.

And now there are soldiers and horses on hand, go to Liangzhou, with Liu Zhong's talent, as Liu Zhong said, will there be no place to stand, that is obviously impossible.

In fact, Liu Zhong was embarrassed in his heart.

He said all this from the real-world history of the Three Kingdoms. If there was no plug-in like the history of the Three Kingdoms in the real world, he would not have been able to see the world so thoroughly, and he would really be more resourceful than Guo Jia and others.

"General Liu cares about the people and is eloquent, but you don't dislike us and others who come to recruit in person, which is really touching, and I am willing to assist General Li to contribute to the people of the world. ”

Xi Zhicai knelt down to pay respects, "Subordinate Xi Zhicai to meet the lord." ”

"General Liu's wisdom is far superior to mine, although my talent is insignificant, but for the sake of the people of the world, I, Chen Changwen, am also willing to follow General Li!" Chen Qun also knelt down to pay respects.

"Haha, I am like a fish in water with Changwen and Zhicai, you guys hurry up. Li Yuan personally helped up Xi Zhicai and Chen Qun.

"Congratulations to General Liu for receiving two great talents, but General Liu's wisdom is profound, I think I am far behind, and I am used to a free life, so I can't help General Li, please forgive me. ”

Guo Jia declined Liu Zhong's solicitation.

"General Liu is eloquent and strategic, he is the master of one party, but as a citizen of the Han Dynasty, I only serve the Han Dynasty, I understand General Liu's intentions, please forgive me for not being able to serve. Xun Yu was also apologetic.

Damn, sure enough, talented people are not so easy to fool.

It's really unwilling to give up like this.

You've got to figure it out.

Of course, Liu Zhong was reluctant to Xun Yu and Guo Jia, the two great talents. But he really couldn't understand how the real-world history Cao Cao persuaded Guo Jia and Xun Yu, two talented figures.

Liu Zhong waved his hand, "It's okay, as the so-called good birds choose trees to perch, and virtuous ministers choose the lord to serve, it is my luck to be able to meet you today." ”

But now Liu Zhong is wondering if he should kidnap these two guys first.

As for convincing them in the future, I believe that as long as you keep them by your side, you will be moved by them.
