Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

But on the other hand, they still thought about robbing Li Yi's food before. If they did that, they would be ridiculed by the world.

So, He Man started to give He Yi a look, implying that the previous proposal would be fine.

Dian Wei couldn't see what He Man and the others were thinking, but Dian Wei remembered that when Li Yi told him about it, he himself opposed it. After all, although Li Yi didn't lack two thousand shi of grain, it was just that. Dian Wei felt that it was too much of a loss to send it away.

So Li Yi told Dianwei that at the beginning it was necessary to send two thousand shi of grain, but there are so many yellow scarves in Yuzhou. After someone takes refuge, the grain sent every month will be reduced proportionally. Why so much food?

Counting the people who have come here for refuge, Li Yi actually spent very little food to support his own people, but at the same time gained a lot of fame and made a lot of money.

In the end, when almost all the Yellow Turbans in Yuzhou are willing to take refuge in Li Yi, the food sent out will be reduced like a cliff jump. At that time, the people of the Yellow Turbans will have no food again. What will they think?

Some people may scold Li Yi, but there will definitely be more people who think that their leader did not choose Li Yi, alienated Li Yi, offended Li Yi, and made them hungry.

Then, I saw that the internal conflicts among these people caused by food continued to escalate, intensify, and collapse. In the end, Li Yi could once again hold high the banner of benevolence and righteousness, and accept the Yellow Turban population to the greatest extent.

During the implementation of this plan, Li Yi has always been an image of a great benevolent person, and it can be said that he has made a lot of money.

Apart from these, there is also a very important point that if the food passes through Yuzhou, if you want to reach Nanyang safely, you must manage it along the road. Since you will bleed sooner or later, it is better for Li Yi to take the initiative to send some to gain the favor of the Yellow Turban.

Dian Wei was secretly admiring his lord's brilliance, when suddenly, Gong Du left the table, solemnly bowed down in front of Dian Wei, and said loudly: "General Dian Wei, Gong is a dull person, he is over thirty now, But apart from charging into battle, I have nothing to do. Recently, I often feel that half my life has passed, but I am still muddled, like a walking corpse. Until I heard the name of Xianghou benevolent and righteous, my heart was full of emotions and touched. Therefore, today I take the liberty to ask General Dianwei to express Marquis Xiang recommends, Gong does not ask for anything else, as long as those old brothers and family members can eat a bowl of food, as for Gong, if he can lead the horse and kick for the Marquis Xiang, he will have no regrets in this life!"

Chapter 277

When Gong Du said these words, he had officially stated that he would bring his subordinates to serve Li Yi, and moreover, he would vote unconditionally!

Dian Wei was naturally very happy with this upright attitude, but He Man and the others felt very uncomfortable, and even Liu Pi secretly ouched, this is different from what was discussed before.

It's not that Liu Pi became greedy, and wanted to rely on his own strength to make a move in front of Li Yi, and then conveniently get some benefits from Li Yi. It is really that they, as the leaders of a party, can of course choose to vote for Li Yi because of their personal favor. Yi, but at the same time they also have to take responsibility for so many soldiers under their command, as well as their families.

Like Gong Du, it is a pleasure to bow down at the slightest disagreement, but what about the rest of the people?

Even if you are selfish and don't think about them, if someone is dissatisfied with the status quo and causes trouble in the future, it will be a big trouble.

Therefore, although Liu Pi had already made up his mind, he still wanted to have a good talk with Dian Wei, but Gong Du's statement disrupted his plan all at once.

With a wry smile in his heart, Liu Pi also imitated Gong Du's appearance and went up to Dian Wei, saying, "I also ask General Dian Wei to recommend us to the Marquis Xiang. I also ask General Dianwei to complete it!"

Liu Pi had no other choice, even if he had thousands of words in his heart, at this time he could only pay his respects first, and then find an opportunity to negotiate terms, otherwise it would be easy for Dian Wei to have a different opinion of him.

However, thinking of Li Yi's reputation, Liu Pi felt that Li Yi's sageness should not disappoint them.

Looking at the two people worshiping in front of him, Dian Wei felt that his luck was really against the sky, and even reached the point where the lord said, "If you accept your head, you will worship". It took a lot of talking and talking to get these people to work. I didn't expect that after a while, the Lord took in two younger brothers.

"Please hurry up, both of you, haha, from now on we will be brothers of our own family, so there is no need to be so polite. My lord is eager to seek talents. If you two come, my lord will definitely use them!"

"Thank you, General Dian Wei!"

"In the future, I hope that General Dianwei will speak well in front of the Marquis Xiang!"

Dian Wei stretched out his hand to help the two of them up, Gong Du was filled with joy, although Liu Pi still had some concerns, seeing Dian Wei's joyful appearance was full of sincerity, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Dian Wei pulled the two of them to sit down, toasted each other with a bowl of wine, as a simple agreement, and then Dian Wei looked at He Man, He Yi, and Huang Shao with fiery eyes.

He Man and the others were very uncomfortable being looked at by Dian Wei.

Naturally, it is impossible to directly refuse. Although He Man and He Yi wanted to defect to Yuan Shu, there was no need to have a conflict with Li Yi, but Dian Wei was like this, waiting for them to express their position so clearly, what did they say?

Reluctantly, He Man coughed lightly, and did not answer, but asked: "Ask General Dian Wei, what positions will the two brothers Liu Pi and Gong Du take under the command of the Marquis Xiang, and what should the other leaders under them be? How to arrange it?"

He Man's voice was very soft, but the content was straight to the point, expressing the core of Zhao'an in one word.

How to arrange the troops after the recruitment, whether to break up and reorganize, or keep them unchanged, whether the original leader should strip the military power, put it on the shelf or even erase it secretly, or entrust it with important tasks, these are all very important issues, and it is also possible after the recruitment. The contradiction that caused the conflict.

Therefore, He Man's question is very troublesome. If Dian Wei can't answer it well, he may lose the hearts of the people he just received.

Hearing He Man's question, the others, including Liu Pigong, all looked at Dian Wei, waiting for Dian Wei's answer. After all, this was a question that was actually relevant to them.

Being stared at by so many people, Dian Wei didn't panic, because Li Yi had watched many historical dramas before traveling, and had watched the drama of Zhao'an many times. For this seemingly fatal, but actually very common problem, it is naturally He explained to Dian Wei early on.

Dian Wei wiped the greasy corners of his mouth, recalled, and said: "According to my lord's explanation, if all of you here intend to enter Nanyang, you will all be captains, and you can command the original elite."

A look of disappointment flashed in the eyes of He Man and He Yi. They were only a school captain. I didn't expect that although Li Yi had a good reputation and looked generous, he was too fussy about his official position.

Take He Man as an example, he has 7000 elite soldiers under his command. If he is mobilized, counting the old and the weak, he can definitely pull out a [-]-scale army. Yuan Shu was thinking about the position of General Zhonglang.

As for people like Liu Pi and Gongdu, although their strength is slightly weaker than that of He Man, the gap is not too big. As a result, Li Yi can only be a mere school lieutenant. This kind of return is far from what He Man expected. big.

He Yi and He Man have the same views, but Liu Pi and Gong both think that a school lieutenant is completely acceptable. After all, they have their hearts on Li Yi's side, and naturally they also consider Li Yi. Given Li Yi's current situation, if given If these newcomers are placed too high, internal instability is likely to occur.

And Dian Wei also promised that it is already very good to let them still command the elite of the headquarters.

While everyone was thinking, Dian Wei continued: "If the two brothers go to Nanyang, apart from the army commander, the first appointment of the two military officers at all levels under their command will also be fully decided by the two."

Everyone was only waiting for Dian Wei to continue, but He Yi suddenly interrupted: "Wait, General Dian Wei just said that the first appointment can be made by brothers Liu Pi and the others. Doesn't this mean that future appointments will not be guaranteed? ?”

The rest of the people were taken aback when they heard the words. They didn't pay attention when Dian Wei said it before, but now that He Yi reminded them, doesn't this mean that Dian Wei dug a hole for them?

Liu Pigong was fine, but the rest of the people looked at Dian Wei a little less friendly, because they felt that Li Yi wanted to cross the river and tear down the bridge.

Dian Wei also probably knew what other people were thinking, but he didn't care, and admitted decisively: "It's true."

"This"

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

"Ha ha"

Dian Wei suddenly laughed and asked, "Are you afraid that my lord will tear down the bridge when he crosses the river?"

"Of course not."

"General Dian Wei is overthinking."

Several people chatted insincerely, even Liu Pigong had a trace of doubt in his eyes, Li Yi doesn't seem like such a bad person, could it be Dian Wei's personal thoughts?

Dian Wei never minded being scapegoated for Li Yi, but this time there was really no scapegoat for him. Dian Wei patiently explained: "Actually, you probably don't know yet. My master is building an academy, and he will be able to enroll in a year later. , my lord, whether he is a civil servant or a military officer, if he wants to be promoted, he must first enter the academy for further study, and only after passing the final assessment can he be qualified for promotion. Of course, this is just the qualification for promotion. The real promotion requires corresponding credit .”

The group of people here are all big and rough, and they don't know many words when they add up. They can't understand the profound meaning of Li Yi's move in a short time. They just think that if they want to be promoted, they have to go to school first. road?

Liu Pi and Gong Du felt a little shaken in their hearts. After all, whoever was told that no matter how hard you struggle in the future, there is no possibility of promotion, and everyone will despair of life.

Seeing the change in their faces, Dian Wei asked, "Why, what are you two worried about?"

Liu Pi and Gong both looked at each other, Liu Pi cupped his hands and said with a wry smile: "Liu is a rough man, I can only ask General Dianwei to take care of him in the future."

Gong Du also said: "Both of us are rough people. It would be a blessing if Marquis Xiang could take a liking to us. I dare not have any extravagant hopes. But according to General Dian, if it goes on like this for a long time, won't Marquis Xiang be all How can civilian officials lead troops?"
