Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 9 Recruiting Dian Wei
After Liu Qi and others cleaned up the battlefield and helped the people in the small village clean up the village destroyed by the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, the sky gradually darkened.

Liu Qi had planned to set up camp before, but he didn't expect to encounter the remnants of the Yellow Turbans.

He rejected the kindness of the village head and old man, and asked people to set up camp outside the village entrance, not planning to disturb the villagers who had not yet reacted to the invasion of the remnants of the Yellow Turbans.

Although most of the villagers were saved, some of them died in the hands of the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, and the villagers were still intoxicated with grief.

"Xiao Wu, how about our casualties?" Liu Qi asked, looking at the people who were setting up camp.

"Returning to my lord, General Huang and General Wei beheaded several Yellow Turban leaders, and the morale of the Yellow Turban remnants plummeted. We only had injuries, and there were no deaths in battle, and they were all minor injuries. Recover!" Xiao Wu cupped his hands.

Liu Qi nodded, and was very satisfied with the result. After all, he trained these people by himself, and Huang Zhong and Wei Yan helped each other, as well as sharp weapons. Even the poor Yellow Turban remnants can die in battle, so it's a bit weak.

"Three boxes of grain were sent to the village and distributed to the people. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the remnants of the Yellow Turban, the life of the people is not easy!"

This is also the reason why Liu Qi didn't plan to enter the village. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the people were living in dire straits and mourned everywhere, and after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the people had no food at all, so how could he accept the hospitality of the people.

"promise!"

Xiao Wu cupped his hands and turned around to make arrangements.

Dian Wei, who was following behind, looked at Liu Qi in surprise, because the clothes on Liu Qi and the others showed that they belonged to wealthy families. People like these generally don't care about the life and death of ordinary people. It's just the upper class.

Liu Qi didn't know what Dian Wei was thinking, even if he knew, he wouldn't take it seriously. He wasn't really a rich boy, and all he cared about now was the six big boxes on the carriage.

When I came out of Jingzhou, I bought six big boxes just to put on a show. In fact, not all of them were filled with gold and silver treasures, but only half a box. He is not the person in power in Jingzhou, so he got them by some means. Money, apart from secretly promoting Liu Biao to become the governor of Jingzhou, building weapons, daily expenses, etc., there is still half a box left, which is already very economical.

Of the remaining five boxes, four boxes are filled with various foods, and the remaining one box is used.

Xiao Wu took a few people, moved the three boxes left behind, and drove the carriage with the remaining three boxes into the village. According to Liu Qi's instructions, the three big boxes of grain were distributed to the people in the village.

In the evening, outside the village entrance, piles of tuition fees were ignited.

Liu Qi and others gathered around the tuition fire to drink and eat meat, and there were some children running and playing beside them. Even the people in the village all came out, like a tuition fire party.

Originally, Xiaowu brought in three big boxes of food to distribute to the people in the village, but the people refused to accept it, and it ended up like this, inviting all the people out to help with the food and eat and drink together .

Because of Liu Qi's determination, the old village chief couldn't continue to refuse, so he brought the people out to have dinner together.

Liu Qi, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Xiao Wu, Dian Wei, and the village elder ate and drank around a pile of tuition fees, while the rest of Liu Qi's subordinates and people were in other places.

"Brother Dianwei, I respect you with this glass of wine. You have offended me before!" Wei Yan raised his glass and drank it in one gulp.

Dian Wei also raised his wine glass, drank the wine in one gulp, and said with a smile, "Haha, we don't even know each other!"

Seeing this, Liu Qi also smiled. After Wei Yan's explanation, he also knew why Wei Yan fought with Dian Wei before.

It turned out that when Wei Yan was chasing the big boss, he was desperate to die. The big boss was running in the direction where Dian Wei was, and when he was about to catch up, the big boss had already run in front of Dian Wei.

Dian Wei saw a yellow-turban thief wearing a yellow scarf running over in a panic on horseback, and wanted to chop off at him with a machete. How could he be soft-handed? On the horse's leg, he hit the head of the big boss who fell to the ground with one blow, and killed the big boss with one move.

Seeing that his target was killed by a strong man, Wei Yan couldn't accept the fact that his head was robbed, but seeing the people behind Dian Wei protecting him, and five or six corpses of the remnants of the yellow scarf lying on the ground, he knew that Dian Wei Not on the side of the Yellow Turbans.

So he asked Dian Wei for hand-to-hand combat. As for the next thing, Wei Yan was unilaterally abused!
"Brother Dianwei, why do you appear here?" Liu Qi asked.

He also felt very strange about this. It is recorded in history that Dian Wei was accepted by Cao Cao when Chen Liu was chasing the tiger. It was only recorded that Dian Wei fled after killing a man, but there was no intermediate process.

Dian Wei took a big sip of wine and sighed: "To tell you the truth, I was originally from the Chen Liuren family. Because my friend was bullied by the gentry, I got angry and avenged him by beheading the gentry, and then fled. Outside, I passed by here two days ago, and stayed for two days, planning to leave tomorrow, but I didn't expect to encounter such a thing!"

"You are truly a man of righteousness, I offer you a toast!" Liu Qi raised his glass.

"I'll toast you too!"

Huang Zhong and others also raised their glasses.

"You are also benevolent people. Knowing that the village is in trouble, more than [-] people came to help. I should respect you!" Dian Wei raised his glass.

"Haha, we won't shirk each other anymore, how about drinking together?" Liu Qi laughed.

"Drink together!"

Several people looked at each other, then raised their glasses and drank happily.

"I don't know what plans Brother Dianwei has in the future?" Liu Qi asked, putting down his wine glass.

Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, and Xiao Wu all looked at Dian Wei, and they all knew that Liu Qi wanted to recruit Dian Wei. During the fight between Dian Wei and Wei Yan, it was clear that Dian Wei was a fierce general, and Liu Qi wanted to recruit him. It is also a very normal thing.

The old village chief didn't speak either, but he could also understand what Liu Qi meant when he asked this question. He was already very old, so he could still understand this bit of sophistication.

"I don't have any plans. Although my arrest warrant has not been lifted, it has been so long that no one will pay attention to it. I am going to visit Chen Liu. I heard that the prefect of Chen Liu, Mr. Zhang Miao, is conscripting the army. , I want to try my luck and make a living!" Dian Wei said casually.

Liu Qi thought for a while, and said straight to the point: "Since Brother Dianwei hasn't made up his mind yet, why don't you stay as my bodyguard chief and lead my bodyguard team?"

Huang Zhong and the others looked at Liu Qi in surprise. You must know that they don't have any positions now, and they still deviate from the existence of the guards, but now they want to hand over the command of the guards to Dian Wei.

But thinking of Dian Wei's ability and their own specialties, I also know that the position of commander of the guards is suitable for Dian Wei, not them, and they have never been assigned positions. It is only Liu Qi himself, except Liu Biao's eldest son. The head also has no duties.
