But your nephew Zhang Xiu was defeated first, and then tried to attack and kill Tietuo, Li's favorite general. Everyone has seen this matter, and it cannot be denied.

If you, Zhang Ji, don't give Li an account of today's matter, wouldn't my tens of thousands of soldiers in the Wuwei Army be chilled, who will be loyal to me in the future!

It has been said since ancient times that the father's debt is paid by the son.

Your nephew has done evil things, Li will naturally not let you, Zhang Ji, pay for it, but someone has to stand up and atone for your nephew.When the master is in trouble, the subordinates will do their best.How about this, Hu Che'er stayed behind to redeem Zhang Xiu in place of your nephew, you two can leave with your own soldiers! "

"Ah! This." Zhang Ji was shocked when he heard this, and after a cry of astonishment, he didn't know how to respond.

Li Lide was not forgiving, so he asked Zhang Ji to choose between Hu Che'er and Zhang Xiu, what should be done.

Zhang Xiu is his only nephew, and he is very likely to become his heir in the future, inheriting the Zhang family business.

And Hu Che'er is his favorite general. He has followed him for many years, is loyal and has made great contributions.Zhang Jineng has the status and strength he has today.Hu Che'er has made great contributions and is absolutely indispensable.

How to choose, who to abandon and who to keep?

According to Zhang Ji's previous style of doing things, he would rather kneel and kowtow to Li Li, shameless, and would not weaken his own strength, let alone abandon his beloved general Hu Che'er.

However, through today's contact, Zhang Ji can see Li Li's way of handling things.

Li Li's appearance is modest and elegant, and he is very friendly.But he is actually a ruthless, uncompromising and domineering person.

Now that Li Li has spoken out, it means that he has made up his mind and will never change it.

Zhang Ji was very tangled in his heart, he thought over and over again, and carefully weighed which of Zhang Xiu and Hu Che'er was more important.Thinking about the way forward.

In fact, how should Zhang Xiu and Hu Che'er choose.People with discerning eyes already know it well.Because Li Li has already given the answer that everyone knows.

Hu Che'er accepted it on behalf of the master. Before that, he was Zhang Ji's general, but he will change his master in the future, and become the servant of Longxiang Li's mansion.

Seeing Zhang Ji pondering for a long while but still hesitating, Li Li squinted his eyes slightly and murmured leisurely: "Does General Zhang Ji have a decision?

Your nephew Zhang Xiu's injury doesn't look serious.It was still barking just now, but it doesn't bark now.You have to hurry up, otherwise, if something happens to Zhang Xiu, it has nothing to do with Li.It was you, General Zhang Ji, who delayed the treatment and killed your nephew! "

"Uh!" Zhang Ji murmured in astonishment, and then said flatteringly: "General, I wonder if this matter can be accommodated? Zhang is willing to offer three hundred war horses, three thousand shi of grain and two hundred gold as compensation." , Redeem Hu Che'er. I don't know what the general wants?"

"Hehehe!" Li Li laughed loudly when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "General Zhang is really generous, his family is well-off, and he spends a lot of money!

As the saying goes, a poor man has short ambitions and a thin horse has long hair!

Liangzhou is bitterly cold, Wuwei County is poor and few people, I, Li Li, is also a poor prefect, otherwise how could I collect money through the wedding ceremony!

It's just that Mr. Li has one advantage, that is, we are poor but our bones are very hard, and we are born with a bullish temper.

Mr. Li is poor, so poor that he has only this little backbone left!I would rather die standing up than live on my knees!

General Zhang, is there anything else you want to say?If not, I have to trouble you to go there yourself to explain the whole story to Hu Che'er, so that he won't mistakenly think that Li is bullying others!Let's go, Mr. Li will go with you. "

Li Li's words almost didn't choke Zhang Ji to death.

Now that things have happened, Zhang Ji can only admit his failure, abandon Hu Che'er, and save his nephew Zhang Xiu.

There is no way, fierce generals are rare, but since ancient times there is a difference between closeness and estrangement.

Even though Zhang Ji was reluctant to part with Hu Che'er, he still couldn't overcome the hurdle of intimacy.

After all, Zhang Xiu was his nephew, and although Hu Che'er was loyal and brave, he was only a family general, and could not be compared with Zhang Xiu after all.

"Forget it, according to the general's wishes, Hu Che'er will be the general's slave from now on!" Zhang Ji tried his best to suppress the resentment in his heart, and said in a deep voice.

Li Li smiled slightly when he heard the words, walked up to Zhang Ji, and said with a smile, "That's very kind. Please, General Zhang!"

Zhang Ji cast a gloomy look at Zhang Xiu, who was lying on the ground moaning in pain, and walked towards Hu Che'er with his head down. Li Li followed behind him with a smile on his face.

Half an hour later, Li Li took Li Xuan and others to personally send Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew and the three hundred accompanying soldiers out of the mansion, and watched them leave.

"My lord, in fact, three hundred war horses, three thousand stones of grain, and two hundred gold treasures are quite a lot. Was my lord really tempted at that time? Hehehe!" Seeing Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew drifting away, Li Xuan laughed comfortably. road.

Li Li was taken aback when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "Yuan Zhong, you are the chief steward in charge of the Wuwei army's money, food and military equipment, so you value food and property more than other things. Because of this, the military equipment, money and food are entrusted to you." , I am very relieved.

But I am exactly the opposite of you. I am the commander-in-chief of an army, and I value talents and generals more. I firmly believe that there are no weak soldiers under a strong general.

There has been a saying since ancient times: If you save people and lose land, you will save both people and land; if you save land and lose people, you will lose both people and land.

Therefore, I believe in the concept of people-oriented, and always believe that as long as there are talents and generals, no matter how poor and miserable we are, we will eventually become stronger.

Zhang Ji is generous and generous on the surface, but in reality he is too petty!

Hu Che'er has followed him for many years, worked hard and made great achievements, is it only worth such a little money?If this happened to me, Li Li, even if I exchanged a thousand horses for a general, I, Li, would not frown! "

After Li Xuan heard what he said, he shook his head with a wry smile, and murmured in a low voice, "That's because we have enough war horses in Wuwei County, and there are two horse farms for raising war horses, otherwise you wouldn't have said that."

"Uh, Yuan Zhong, what are you mumbling about?" Li Li asked curiously.

"No, it's nothing. By the way, my lord, Hu Che'er's injury is not serious. Commander Talu is very measured. It looks bloody, but it's actually some skin trauma. It can be cured within half a month of recuperation." Li Xuan Said sternly.

Li Li nodded slightly and said: "That's good, otherwise, if Hu Che'er is really injured too badly, I can't bear it. He is a loyal and brave general. Maybe he still lacks resourcefulness, but as long as he uses it properly, he is also a powerful general." general!"

Li Xuan nodded deeply and said: "What the lord said is very true. Hu Che'er was able to fight with Tie Xiao for nearly a hundred rounds without losing. His martial arts are really good, and then he sacrificed his life to protect Zhang Xiu. He is indeed a hero of loyalty and bravery." People. Thinking about it this way, my subordinates feel that Zhang Ji was indeed a bit stingy just now, if he doubles his property again, maybe the lord will agree."

"Hehehe!" Li Li laughed loudly when he heard the words, and said, "Yuan Zhong, you are really hopeless, you have fallen into the eyes of money and you can't get out! Didn't Zhang Ji give us a sum of money today? Why are you still not satisfied? "

Li Xuan smiled and said: "My lord, although our Wuwei army is strong and powerful now, there are still many places to spend money, and the consumption of money and food is huge. For this moment, my subordinates dare not relax. In this way, our Wuwei army will become stronger and stronger, dominate Liangzhou, and watch the world as a tiger!"

After a short pause, Li Xuan said to Li Li with a smile: "My lord, when you talked with Zhang Ji just now, there was a sentence that inspired my subordinates a lot. That is to make good use of your big wedding, lord. Let's try to save as much as possible." Take some money, and later his subordinates will spread the news of Zhang Ji's three hundred gold congratulatory gift and arrange a seat for him.

In this way, those generals and ministers who have not yet sent congratulatory gifts have to weigh their own. The congratulatory gifts sent will definitely not be too light, and they must be ten gold or twenty gold, otherwise the subordinates will arrange them. At the bottom!Hehehe"

"Huh?" Li Li was really shocked this time, and was very touched. Li Xuan's idea is so similar to the wedding banquets and celebrations of later generations.

At this point, Li Li said with a smile: "Yuan Zhong, you really have a good idea, so let's do it like this! In addition, the wedding banquets of our Longxiang Li Mansion will all be arranged according to the severity of the gifts, regardless of his official position. If it's too light, let him sit at the bottom!

In this matter, you don't have to give face to those veteran officials of the three dynasties, if they dare not come, you can send someone to the palace to ask Dong Yue to post an invitation in the name of Grand Master Dong.Either don't do this matter, or do it well if you want to do it, and wipe out all the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, and there must be no one left! "

"Eh? My lord, what you said is the truth, not a joke? Sangong Jiuqing, we also arrange seats according to the congratulations?" Li Xuan asked in surprise.

Li Li nodded without hesitation and said: "Of course it is true! No matter who he is, he will be treated equally, and the seats will be arranged according to the congratulations, even grand master Dong's relatives and royal family members are no exception!"

"Isn't that bad? If Grand Master Dong blames him, I'm afraid it will be difficult for my lord to explain." Li Xuan said hesitantly.

Li Li smiled slightly when he heard this, shook his head and said: "Yuan Zhong is too worried. Grand Master Dong's beloved daughter Dong Wan is going to marry me soon. This is equivalent to Grand Master Dong holding a wedding event. Naturally, the higher the threshold, the better. If Grand Master Dong knows, I'm afraid he will be even more happy, our Grand Master Dong was a master at making money in his early years, and this kind of thing is the rest of his old tricks!"

After Li Xuan heard the words, he was stunned for a while, then laughed and said: "Okay, that's great! If that's the case, the congratulatory gifts received from this wedding banquet are enough for our Wuwei army to consume for a year. It's really worth it." No effort at all! Hahaha."
