Chapter 10

The reason why people are human is precisely because they have humanity and empathy.

If a person can slaughter his own kind without any scruples, regardless of the reason, how is it different from a beast!
Even if they are animals, most of them hurt their kind, and Qiuming is also sad.

Those who achieve great things don't care about small things, this sentence makes sense, and Lin Chao agrees, but it doesn't mean that he treats the lives of the same kind as nothing.

On the contrary, Lin Chao believes that when there is no interest, one must not kill people, this is the bottom line.

For Dian Wei, not only Liu Bei likes it, but Lin Chao also likes it.

His loyalty has been proven by history, so naturally there is no need to say more.

However, whether this person is a straightforward guy like Zhang Fei, or a murderer like Li Kui, Lin Chao still has to ask clearly.

If it is the former, it is naturally worth pulling into the camp as a confidant.

If it's the latter... This body of bravery can't be wasted, and it's not bad to be a tool man in the future, a pawn that can be discarded at any time.

After asking his own question, Lin Chao fixed his eyes on Dian Wei. If this person had the slightest averted eyes, or even the slightest hesitation, then Lin Chao would never believe his answer, and directly classified him as the latter. .

However, after listening to Lin Chao's question, Dian Wei's eyes became puzzled, and he couldn't help scratching his head.

"You little girl..."

Before he finished speaking, he felt his shoulders sink, and the knife in Guan Yu's hand suddenly pressed down.

Dian Wei knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, and continued to speak: "This gentleman's question is very strange. If the rich merchants naturally robbed the money. If there is a lot of money, it should naturally be distributed to the people at the foot of the mountain."

Lin Chao: "..."

He never thought that Dian Wei's answer would be like this.

Steal from the rich and give to the poor, you!

"How to deal with that person?"

"If the other party is willing to hand over the money obediently, I will not hurt their lives, and only take half of the money." Dian Wei replied without hesitation, "If they resist, after a certain family kills several people, they will also obediently give the money. "

"What about poor people?"

"Poor people..." Dian Wei pouted, "It depends on whether a certain family has money, and if so, give them some. If not, then give them some food. If a certain family has neither money nor food , that can't be helped."

As he spoke, Dian Wei spread his hands, expressing that he was helpless.

"So, you don't take any money from the poor people?"

Dian Wei said helplessly: "Sir, a certain family said that your problem is a bit strange, how can the poor people have any money to get?"

Lin Chaofu remained silent, he understood that he just asked a stupid question.

However, he finally understood what kind of person Dian Wei was.

Although this person occupies land and robbery, he still has a knight-errant style in his bones. He is not the kind who will not refuse anyone, let alone a murderous maniac.

"Mr. Xuande, this man's loyalty is commendable, and he also helps the people nearby, so he can be subdued."

Lin Chao pulled Liu Bei two steps away before speaking.

In fact, Liu Bei couldn't bear it long ago. After hearing Lin Chao's affirmative answer, he hurried back, quickly pulled Guan Yu's sword, squatted down and held Dian Wei's hand with both hands.

"Brave man, you are all skilled in martial arts. Wouldn't it be a pity to gather here in the mountains and forests? I am Liu Xuande, the captain of Anxi County. Right now, Zhongshan is in a rebellion. I have been ordered to hunt down the bandits. Would a strong man be willing to serve the court?"

It is natural that Liu Bei pulls the tiger's skin and pulls the banner when he is ordered to hunt for thieves, but this does not hinder his sincerity.

Dian Wei is straightforward, but not stupid.

As early as the beginning of the battle, he saw that Liu Bei's men and horses were in armor, and he knew that this group of people must not be thieves, and they might even be soldiers of the imperial court.Furthermore, the other party captures him but does not kill him, which shows that the other party should want to recruit himself.

Now that he has defeated himself in an upright manner, and has the status of an imperial court official, and Liu Gongxuande in front of him seems to be a benevolent person, Dian Wei has no reason to refuse.

"Dian Wei pays homage to the lord!"

"Haha, good, good!"

Liu Bei laughed, took Dian Wei's hand, and forced the newcomer to use the skill of swimming with arms.

This night, all parties got along very harmoniously, happily and contentedly...

After another two days of marching, Lin Chao's bowed legs got better, and the pain between his straddles also eased a little. He probably got used to it, and he can run wildly for a while on a horse.

It was also at this time that the large troops entered Zhending County with their baggage.

It is definitely not a big county, nor is it a county government. The city wall has gone through years of wind and moon but no one has repaired it. It looks dilapidated.

The current situation is turbulent, the world is chaotic, the people at the bottom are hungry, and the aristocratic families are all fighting for power and profit. Even the local tyrants only want to accumulate money and food, and expand their strength.

In this case, who will take care of the repair of the city wall of a mere county.

Even Liu Bei and others just want to use this place to recruit troops to conquer Zhang Chun.

Even Lin Chao never thought of placing his future base in Jizhou, the place of the Four World Wars.

Liu Bei is now only a county lieutenant and has no permission to recruit soldiers, so it is naturally inconvenient to enter Zhending City to recruit soldiers, so he simply camped outside the city.On the one hand, they sent people to inquire about the situation in Zhending and the surrounding counties, and on the other hand, they waited for news from Jian Yong.

Before setting off, Liu Bei had explained that after meeting the governor, he would declare that Zhang Chun was in rebellion. Liu Bei had no choice but to leave his post, and because of his loyalty to the imperial court, he prepared to recruit troops to quell the rebellion.

As for whether the governor believes it or not, it doesn't matter. Anyway, Liu Bei has made the first report, which cannot be denied.

In a word, if there is an order from the governor, he must recruit soldiers, and if he does not, he must recruit soldiers.

When Liu Bei has thousands of elite soldiers in his hands, as long as the court is not stupid, he will definitely choose to appease, and it is natural to make an official and make a wish.

Fortunately, Jian Yong did not disappoint Liu Bei. Just two days after everyone arrived at Zhending, Jian Yong hurried over.

He didn't bring many people with him, and his traveling speed was much faster than Liu Bei and others. In addition, Yecheng was not far from Zhending, so he was able to go so fast.

Hearing Jian Yong's return, Liu Bei, who was preparing to recruit soldiers outside, hurried back.

Before entering the account, he asked the soldiers outside the account loudly: "I heard that Xianhe is back, where is he now?"

Jian Yong went out of the tent and replied: "Master, Xianhe is here."

Seeing Jian Yong, Liu Bei burst out laughing, his joy was undisguised.Seeing that Jian Yong was busy in the world, and his brows were full of exhaustion, he dragged Jian Yong into the tent and sat down, and poured a bowl of wine himself.

"Xianhe, it's hard work for you." Liu Bei sighed
Seeing that Liu Bei didn't ask about the result of the trip in the first sentence, but was concerned about himself, even Jian Yong, who has always been informal, was also moved, and quickly shook his head to express that he didn't work hard.

"My lord, Yong Xing is not disgraceful!"

After all, Jian Yong took out an envelope from his bosom, and there were sweat stains on it, presumably Jian Yong kept it close to his body, and it was stained by the exhaustion of traveling and traveling.

Liu Bei took the envelope and opened it. Inside was the recruitment order with the seal of Jizhou governor.

Seeing this, Liu Bei couldn't hide his excitement, and he looked up to the sky and laughed.

With this thing, my behavior of recruiting soldiers this time cannot be said to be a violation of the court's laws, but was ordered to recruit soldiers, and everything became reasonable and legal.

At this time, Lin Chao also walked in from the outside, and before he could react, Liu Bei dragged him to read the transfer order.

"Let's take a look at the beginning, with this thing, everything will be easy to handle."

Compared to Liu Bei's excitement, although Lin Chao also showed a smile on his face, he was much calmer, and pointed out that there seemed to be a letter in the envelope.

Only then did Liu Bei discover that when he opened the envelope again, there was indeed a letter inside, and the inscription was inscribed by Liu Yan, the governor of Jizhou.

Although it is Liu Yan's personal letter, it is full of official language and ambiguous.

Liu Yan first affirmed Liu Bei's loyalty, and highly appreciated his behavior of denouncing Zhang Chun, then he was noncommittal about Liu Bei's private recruitment of soldiers, and finally encouraged Liu Bei to continue to serve loyally, and the court will definitely reward him.

Looking at the whole article, Liu Yan seems to have said everything, but thinking about it carefully, there is no substantive explanation at all.

As for Liu Bei's reward for reporting Zhang Chun's rebellion, as the loyal governor of Jizhou, he naturally had to report it to the court and wait for His Majesty the Emperor to make a decision.

After all, Liu Bei had never been a high-ranking official, so he was confused for a while, and his face was full of doubts.

"Xianhe, what is your attitude when you go to envoy the king?"

Confused, Liu Bei had no choice but to ask Jian Yong.

But Jian Yong's answer made Liu Bei even more confused. According to his description, the governor Liu Yan believed Jian Yong after seeing the witnesses and physical evidence.

After all, verification takes time, and after Jian Yong arrived, the news of Zhang Chun's rebellion would probably come soon after, so Liu Yan couldn't help but believe it.

Next, Liu Yan, as a model of a great Han official, immediately summoned Jian Yong, first praised Liu Bei, and then said that he would immediately report Liu Bei's achievements to the court.

Even Liu Yan quickly issued the order to recruit soldiers, and Jian Yong brought it back.

After listening to Jian Yong's narration, Liu Bei nodded: "You are worthy of being a clan member of the Han family. After all, you know the general situation. Not only did you not blame us for leaving our posts without authorization, but instead issued a recruitment order."

In this regard, Lin Chao has a different view.

"Mr. Xuande, don't be too happy." Lin Chao pointed to Liu Yan's letter and said, "If the envoy really believes in Mr. Xuande, I am afraid that there will be only a piece of transfer order and no money or food."

"What does Zichu mean?" Liu Bei didn't understand again, "If the envoy doesn't believe me, why bother to issue this recruitment order."

Facing the puzzled Liu Bei, Lin Chao smiled. He probably already guessed what Liu Yan was thinking.

Like this kind of old-fashioned officialdom fritters, they will never express their opinions easily, but they will not easily deny them either.

The letter he wrote to Liu Bei is full of words of praise, but it has no practical meaning at all.

As for the order to deploy troops, since you, Liu Xuande, like to make troubles, you can go there as you like.I only give you a piece of paper, and whether you can accomplish anything depends on your own ability.

If you have contributed to the suppression of the chaos, I, Liu Yan, will naturally receive the most of the credit. This letter and the recruitment order are proof that I ordered you, Liu Xuande, to fight back.

After all, as the governor of Jizhou, Zhang Chun's rebellion could not escape his oversight, and Liu Bei's meritorious service just made up for his fault.

It doesn't matter if you, Liu Xuande, fail to accomplish anything, after all, what Liu Yan paid for him is only two thin pages of paper.

This is a blatant conspiracy, forcibly tying Liu Bei to himself.

Liu Bei made great contributions to calming the chaos, and Liu Yan sat back and enjoyed his achievements.

Liu Bei failed to suppress the rebellion, and he, Liu Yan, did not suffer any losses.

However, there is nothing wrong with Liu Yan's move. Anyone else would probably do the same.

It's just that this guy looks a little ugly, and he doesn't even have a symbolic meaning to give food to soldiers and horses.
