Rebirth of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 131 Snow White Brewing Wine

It is none other than Deng Zhi, a villager at the foot of Fenghuang Mountain who was almost ransacked by Du Chang, a bandit from Montenegro, and a descendant of Deng Yu, the founding hero of Emperor Wu of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the first prime minister. .

When Liu Qi ordered people to post recruitment lists everywhere and asked not to miss any village in Xinye, naturally the recruitment list was posted in the village at the foot of Fenghuang Mountain where Deng Zhi lived.

Seeing the recruitment list, Deng Zhi pondered over and over again, and finally gave up on Pang Xi, who went to Luoyang after the next year to join a good scholar, and unveiled the list at home to wait for the first day of the twelfth lunar month to take the exam in Xinye.

In Deng Zhi's view, being recruited by others and taking the initiative to seek refuge are two different things. Since Liu Qi, the county magistrate of Xinye, has posted a list of recruiting talents, he is recruiting sages all over the world. From this, it can be seen that Liu Qi is a person who really loves talents, which is a big surprise to Deng Zhi .

Unexpectedly, on the first day of the twelfth lunar month, there was the first heavy snowfall in the second year of Chuping, that is, in 191 AD. No matter how heavy the snowstorm was, it was hard to see the Shu Han who was sent to Soochow in history without fear of Sun Quan. The famous general Deng Zhi.

Deng Zhi was worried about the recruitment list, packed some simple clothes, carried a thin bag, and said goodbye to his grandfather. He walked for more than [-] miles in the wind and snow to Xinye to take the exam early at five o'clock. Familiar with the location, Deng Zhi did not get lost in the plain area where the road was blocked by heavy snow, and successfully arrived in Xinye County in time despite the wind and snow.

Seeing that it was Deng Zhi, Liu Qi immediately showed a gratified smile on his face. The charm of the talent recruitment list is only most useful to a great talent like Deng Zhi. Only by unveiling the list and recommending himself can it show Deng Zhi's incomparable confidence and extraordinary talent.

Chen Wu also yelled loudly: "It's strange, there are no roads under the heavy snow, and someone really revealed the list to take the exam."

Chen Wen held his breath, looked at the person carefully, and said: "My lord, this person is Deng Zhi who was almost robbed by bandits at the foot of Fenghuang Mountain."

"Haha, brother Wen has a good memory, it is this person, this young master is waiting for him." Liu Qi stepped forward in three steps and two steps in parallel, and shouted excitedly: "Everyone, follow me to meet Deng Zhi."

"Yes." Everyone answered in unison, elated that Young Master Liu Qi had finally found the person he was waiting for.

Liu Qi didn't care too much, and walked towards the knee-deep snow with difficulty, Chen Chun and Chen Xia guarded him on the left and right, Liu Qi almost fell down in the snow several times.

Deng Zhi obviously saw the scene in front of him, but when he saw Liu Qi, the magistrate of Xinye, wearing a padded jacket, running towards him regardless of his identity, tears filled his eyes, and his heart felt warm.

"Brother Bo Miao, brother Bo Miao." Liu Qi yelled loudly as he struggled on the snowy ground.

"Brother Bo Miao?" Deng Zhi was taken aback, wondering how the eldest son Liu Qi knew his name?Presumably the eldest son has been secretly concerned about him for a long time, thinking that the eldest son regards him so much, Deng Zhi almost wanted to take out a knife and dig out a red heart to show Liu Qi's loyalty, and responded hoarsely: "Eldest son, eldest son... ..."

When Liu Qi stumbled and touched Deng Zhi in the knee-deep snow, Liu Qi took off the big padded jacket that Huang Wudie carefully sewed for her without hesitation, put it on Deng Zhi, and choked: "Bo Brother Miao, thank you for your hard work."

Deng Zhi couldn't stand this kind of situation, the county magistrate condescended to take off the cotton-padded clothes for him despite the cold and snow, this is a great favor.

Deng Zhi is a person who has read a lot of poetry and books, so he naturally understands the dignity and inferiority of kings, relatives and teachers in the world. When he was moved in his heart, and after a long journey in the wind and snow, he would bow down when his legs softened, and burst into tears: "My lord, Bo Miao As a commoner, how can you be so virtuous, please accept such a great gift from the young master, please let Rong Zhi pay respects."

"Brother Bo Miao, absolutely not. You and I, brother, don't like this." How could Liu Qi make Deng Zhi bow down? Wouldn't this bow make Deng Zhi a little shorter?

In order to prevent Deng Zhi from bowing down, Liu Qi staggered forward. If the guard Chen Chun hadn't supported him in time, he would have prostrated himself in front of Deng Zhi.

Seeing that Liu Qi valued himself so much, Deng Zhi was even more excited and moved. Regardless of the cold wind hitting his chest, he took out the recruitment list from his arms, and put his hands above his head, looking serious and upright: "Deng Zhi is not talented, and I will take the exam. The county magistrate asks the question."

Liu Qi took over the recruiting list, tore it into pieces, and shocked Deng Zhi, but he heard Liu Qi say: "Just this recruiting list almost mistook Bo Miao brother in this wind and snow, what do you want it to do? How can talented people be recruited by a list of papers?"

Seeing that Liu Qi's scene of bitterness was almost finished, Chen Wen stepped forward to persuade him, "My lord, brother Bo Miao, don't freeze yourself if it's so cold, please go back to the manor and talk."

"Yes yes yes, hurry up, General Wu, please help Uncle Miao back home." Liu Qi ordered loudly with even more concern.

"Please, son." Seeing Chen Wen calling Liu Qi as son, Deng Zhi changed his name to son instead of eldest son, and naturally integrated into Liu Qi's circle.

"Brother Bo Miao, please." Liu Qi made a gesture of invitation, and then took Deng Zhi's hand and walked towards the county government on the snow, holding Deng Zhi's hand like a baby, smiling happily.

Chen Wu supported Deng Zhi. He hated whoever provoked the young master Liu Qi and waited in the snow to suffer from the cold. The so-called hatred has disappeared at this moment. He was completely overwhelmed by Deng Zhi's sincerity in disregarding the heavy snow and revealing the recruitment list to join the young master. It can make the young master Such a highly regarded person must be an extraordinary person, besides, Chen Wu dare not underestimate the person whom Young Master Liu Qi regards highly.

When Deng Zhi and Liu Qi walked to the gate of the mansion hand in hand, and saw soldiers sweeping away the snow at the gate of the county government office, clearing the open space to welcome Deng Zhi, Deng Zhi was inexplicably moved again, and the elder son Liu Qi greeted the virtuous in the snow. The kindness of knowing you, undressing and giving warmth is enough for Deng Zhi to repay for a lifetime.

Before Deng Zhi unveiled the list, he had heard that the magistrate of Xinye County released military rations to relieve the hungry and cold people in severe cold weather. Liu Qi quickly gained a foothold in Xinye County and won a good reputation among the people. As a clan member of the Han Dynasty, Deng Zhi is a smart person, and he can already foresee that Liu Qi, the eldest son who is so thirsty for talents, loves the people like a son, and is deeply loved by the people, has a bright future...

"Bring Baixue to make wine, and wash away the wind and dust for Brother Bo Miao." Liu Qi ordered loudly, and was overjoyed for a moment. In this snowy day, the outside of the city is all white, and it is a snowy day, where is the dust coming from?It is not necessary to wash the dust, but it is just the right time to catch the wind.

Soon, in the lobby of the county government office, the food and wine were served, just in time for lunch.

Liu Qi, Deng Zhi, Chen Wen and the others drank and sang happily, and there was no need to talk about the exam. The gods from all over the world chatted and drank to the height of their spirits. Liu Qi picked up the wine glass, took Deng Zhi's hand, and said drunkenly : "Brother Bo Miao, come here, drink this cup, I have something to say."

As Liu Qi spoke, he picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp. Deng Zhi wanted to ask if he had anything to say before drinking, but seeing that Liu Qi had drunk the glass upside down, he had no choice but to tilt his neck and drain the wine in one gulp.

Maybe it's because the pure brewed grain wine without industrial alcohol in ancient times didn't have a high alcohol content, or maybe Deng Zhi already had a lot of alcohol, anyway, Deng Zhi and Liu Qi drank a jar of wine together, nothing happened.

"Sir, please tell me." After Deng Zhi finished drinking the wine in the glass, Naishi took a spoonful of wine and filled Liu Qi's glass.

Liu Qi held a full glass of wine, shook his head, seemed to be overwhelmed, and swayed: "Brother Bo Miao, if you come, you will be safe. Everyone is a brother, and all of you here are generals. I will make Brother Bo Miao a partial general now." , as the captain, in charge of a hundred bandit soldiers who have just been trained and uniformed, and I hope that Brother Bo Miao will not make money as an official."

When Deng Zhi heard this, he was pleasantly surprised. Young Master Liu Qi is so generous. With just one word from Young Master, he has become a general who can command troops and have real power. Young Master Liu Qi really regards himself as a great talent.

Although Deng Zhi was pleasantly surprised, she was able to hold her breath, and imitated Liu Qi to return the gift, drained the wine in the glass in one gulp, and said, "My lord, after drinking this glass of wine, Zhi also has something to say."

Liu Qi naturally drank the wine in one gulp, and said, "Brother Bo Miao, please tell me."

Deng Zhi put the cup in his hand on the table, turned around and bowed to Liu Qi, with a look of sincerity and trepidation: "Thank you for your appreciation, and I feel even more grateful for your appreciation. Although Zhi is not talented, I dare not forget your kindness." The sage said, if you don’t get rewarded for meritorious service, if you become a general before you have been under the son’s tent for a day, you are afraid of being criticized, Zhi really dare not be a general.”

Liu Qi laughed loudly: "Brother Bo Miao is modest, and saints have their own opinions. It is a waste of money to be talented and not take on great responsibilities. Brother Bo Miao braved the wind and snow to work with me. Me, why worry that the Han Dynasty cannot be helped? Why worry that the world cannot be stable? Why worry that the people cannot be happy?"

Deng Zhi was baffled by Liu Qi's atrocities, and wondered if a sage had said that?However, Deng Zhi was still infected by Liu Qi's arrogance for the world, and he praised Liu Qi sincerely: "My son's benevolence is the great fortune of the people of Xinye, and it is the great fortune of the people in the world."

"That's right, Brother Bo Miao, don't refuse if we have our Master Zuo to help the Han Dynasty secure the world." Chen Wen also got up and held up his wine glass to persuade Deng Zhi to accept the general.

"Yes, yes, Brother Bo Miao, please don't refuse, lest you spoil the young master's heart." Wen Dai, Chen Wu and others also echoed.

"Come on, I am grateful for the love of all brothers, and I am grateful for the noble mind of the son. Deng is not talented, and the post of general will be put on hold for a while. I will not be too late after I have made meritorious service." Really humbled up.

"Alright, let's let go of the post of general for the time being. Brothers, Bai Xue cooks wine, innocent, heroes gather, life is happy, drink, and get drunk." Liu Qi took the lead and drank it all. Strong hero, full of pride.

After drinking for two full hours, which is equivalent to four hours on the current clock, after a careful calculation, Chen Wen, Chen Wu and others were a little staggered after drinking for an entire afternoon.

Deng Zhi drinks a lot, and from the rhetoric of all the officers and men here, he has basically figured out the strength and combat power of Liu Qi's current troops. He understands that Liu Qi's most depressing thing is that he still needs [-] soldiers to attack Goose City, and he will attack Goose City in January. After capturing Goose City on New Year's Eve in Nei, they opened warehouses to distribute grain to the people, and liberated tens of thousands of poor tenants who were struggling to die from hunger and cold and were controlled by the three major local tyrants and evil gentry.

Deng Zhi was so highly valued by Liu Qi, thinking about how to establish a remarkable feat, so that he could become a general in a legitimate way, looking at Liu Qi and the other soldiers who were a little depressed, Deng Zhi suddenly had an idea, and decided to serve Liu Qi tonight. In the last nomination certificate, on a snowy night, he came up with a clever plan to help Liu Qi capture Goose City immediately.

Deng Zhi clung to Liu Qi's ear with a solemn expression, and asked half-excitedly and half-consultingly: "My lord, I have a clever plan, three hundred soldiers can capture Goose City, dare or not?"
