11. Have a good conversation

The more Liu Qi looked at it, the more he liked it, he took out an arrow and put it on the bowstring, and was about to try the strength of the bow, when suddenly there was a shout from the front: "This stupid thing is running back, catch it, catch it!" ”

Liu Qi fixed his eyes and saw that the deer was forced by everyone to be anxious and ran in the direction where he was. With joy in his heart, he hurriedly pulled the bowstring.

The bowstring was not half opened, and Liu Qi complained in his heart, damn, this bow is too hard! I feel powerless before I get halfway through this, not to mention continuing to pull to the end, it is difficult to maintain the status quo.

"Don't, so many people are watching!" After fighting against the powerful bow arm for a few seconds, Liu Qi was still defeated, his left arm trembled involuntarily, his fingers could no longer pinch the tail of the arrow, and the feather arrow that was already about to leap out of his hand "swished".

"It's over, it's a shame this time!" Liu Qi closed his eyes, not daring to look at everyone's reaction.

There was a mournful roar in front of "Yo Yo ......", and Liu Qi opened his eyes and was taken aback. The feather arrow that escaped from his hand actually hit the galloping deer.

The villagers rushed over in cheers, it was the first time they had hunted such a big prey in the past few days, how could they not be excited, and they all praised Liu Qi's good skills. All the sergeants were also very happy, this deer was dozens of catties of meat, even if they didn't find anything today, it would be more than enough for the eight of them to eat for two days. It's not a loss to be a cultivator, and it's extraordinary! The two-stone hard bow looked at the more than 1,000 county soldiers, and those that could be full could be counted with one hand, except for Gao Hong, no one could make it, this weak-crowned young man's seemingly careless arrow could actually hit the prey that Gao Hong didn't even shoot three arrows just now.

Liu Qi wiped the cold sweat on his head, dealt with the villagers and Gao Hong's sergeants a few words, and returned the bow and arrow to Gao Hong with a red face: "Yesterday, I was punched by Brother Zhenxiang, and my arms are still swollen and painful, so I can't make this hard bow." ”

How could a master like Gao Hong not be able to see the truth and reality, and he didn't break it, put away his bow and arrows, and thanked him repeatedly.

Liu Qi didn't pay much attention to Gao Hong, but now he really admires it, in later generations, for the personal force of the generals, people are either extremely admired or belittled for worthlessness, in fact, both views are too biased, of course, the most important thing for the generals is strategy, when the two armies face each other, the generals will first have a heads-up, and the winning side will raise their arms, and the scene of the army behind them charging and winning a big victory will only appear in novels and movies.

First of all, if the military general can lead the army to fight, it will greatly boost the morale of the army, and the morale of the soldiers is undoubtedly one of the decisive factors in the war in the era of cold weapons.

The second is military training, and generals with high military force are most likely to form a personality cult for soldiers and grassroots officers, and the cohesion of the army will be improved as a result, making it easier for command and, more importantly, reducing problems within the army.

Therefore, the force and resourcefulness of the generals are indispensable, and they will meet all kinds of people when recruiting troops in the future, and they are both wise and brave talents.

This Gao Hong in front of him is quite in line with the standard, the force must pass, see that his sergeants are also in awe of him, so that Chaodong does not dare to go west, it is estimated that the army is not bad, and he has also read books, the key is to specialize in military books, the education level is guaranteed, and the profession is also the right counterpart, he is a talent!

Liu Qi had the idea of recruiting Gao Hong in his heart: "My brother has something unknown, my brother is both civil and military, why is he only one of the leaders in the army?" ”

"The virtuous brother does not know, although the foolish brother is conceited since he was a child familiar with the military book, proficient in martial arts, but unfortunately he can't meet the master, and now he succumbs to the Guling County Taishou Zhao Yun army, that Zhao Yun is a rotten Confucian ear, only knows to rely on his wife and brother Yan Tong, this person does not know the art of war, jealousy and jealousy, appoint a private person, I have repeatedly quelled the rebellion, bravely killed the enemy, but the war exploits were led by Yan Tong's cronies, half a year ago drunk, insulted Yan Tong two sentences, accidentally listened to this thief, and even swept the charge to remove our army from the post of Sima, if it is not for the military friends around, Zhao Wei and hindered the prestige of our clan, and fifty sticks. The day before yesterday, I went into the mountains with the army to suppress the thieves, and I was about to break the thieves, but that Yan Tong actually ordered me to lead ten new soldiers to investigate the thieves in public, one to humiliate me, and the other to kill people with a knife. ”

Gao Hong said that he was furious here, and smashed his fist on a big tree, leaving a clear fist mark on the trunk, and then said: "After that, I met the thieves, and I had to retreat because I was outnumbered, and I broke three people, and I lost my way in the forest in a hurry, so that I was able to get acquainted with the virtuous brother." ”

Liu Qi comforted Gao Hong a few words, and sighed secretly in his heart, most talented people have flaws in character, what he said must have moisture, and most of the reasons why he is not reused by his boss are both parties, as you can imagine, Gao Hong must have made military achievements at the beginning and was led by his boss's cronies, and he was not angry in his heart, and he must have complained often behind his back.

In fact, the boss is not necessarily prejudiced against you at the time, people, of course, there is a good thing to do with your own people, you have merit and I save it for you, by the way, test and test you, you don't have complaints, perform well, the boss understands in his heart, this time I owe you, next time maybe I will pay you a bigger one, even if there are complaints, they are hidden in the stomach, and turn complaints into motivation, which is the way of life of smart and good employees.

Besides, it is normal to appoint private individuals, who is the ruling class in this era? It is those wealthy families, what do these big families rely on to rule, rely on connections, and they are their own people from top to bottom in order to have smooth government decrees, so that wealth does not flow out, and the meat is rotten. Therefore, you either mix with the "own people" of the family, or you can only accept your fate and settle for the status quo.

can see that Gao Hong and himself have only known each other for a few hours, and they have begun to be bitter, and they must have said when they meet people, from ancient times to the present and then to the future, there will never be a shortage of people who fall into the well, there are more people queuing up behind him, who doesn't want to push the people in front of him to hurry up? His little report must have been piled up in his boss's room, who is this little shoe not for him to wear?

However, Zhao Wei and Yan Tong are obviously not good leaders, if Gao Hong wins the master, he must have a great future, Liu Qi asked tentatively: "If my brother is not satisfactory in Guling, and my brother has an old relationship with Zhao Zhen, the Taishou of Yongning County, you can introduce your brother, what is your brother's intention?" ”

Gao Hong was not as happy as Liu Qi imagined, but was embarrassed: "Hey, why don't you want to vote for the Ming Lord, but many people in the clan marry each other's children with Zhao Wei's children, uh, Neizi is the daughter of the Taishou clan's brother, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that the clansmen won't allow the foolish brother to make his own opinions!" ”

Liu Qi understands that Gao Hong's family relies on political marriage to tie up with Zhao Wei, and Gao Hong is also one of them, even if he has the idea of turning his back on Zhao Wei, he must first consider whether the interests of the family will be damaged, hey, I am afraid that such a talent cannot be used for himself at present!

However, Liu Qi still left a way out in his words: "If there is chaos today, there is Hu Yi watching from the side, and there are a group of heroes fighting inside, my big man is in danger!" The younger brother is not in seclusion and cultivation, but only wishes to help the Han family to serve the country, and make meritorious contributions to the glorious lintel, which has been approved by the teacher, and will go to Jiangzhou after the completion of the work. The brother and the brother hit it off at first sight, and they couldn't get along day and night, build their achievements together, and hope that the brother would come to get together in the future, and the brother would wait for him. ”

Gao Hong was also a little excited, and grabbed Liu Qi's arms: "The virtuous brother is really not an idle person, and he will become a great weapon in time!" Brother Xian is grateful, Brother Xian and wait in Jiangzhou, I went home to persuade the clansmen, and the family will move to Jiangzhou in the future! ”

"Hahaha......" Gao Hong saw the light on the way, Liu Qichu was helped by good generals, and the two were in a good mood, laughing and walking with arms.

The sun gradually turned westward, with the help of Yu Ji and Gao Hong's hard bow, and hunted a wild boar, although it was delayed for a long time, but hunted two such big prey, everyone was excited, carrying deer and wild boars, carrying a few hares and pheasants, and the group took advantage of the fact that the sky was not yet completely dark, and hurried back to the village.

It was almost completely dark, and the villagers, who were familiar with the mountain roads, lit two torches to lead the way, and climbed over the last hill to finally see the village from a distance.

"Huh? What is that? Liu Qi saw a long fire dragon in the west of the village winding towards the village.

Gao Hong was shocked: "There are a hundred and ten people!" There are no bandits nearby, could it be that the thieves in Fuming Mountain were broken by the official army, and the remaining thieves fled here? ”

When Liu Qi and several villagers heard this, they hurriedly threw down the prey in their hands and ran towards the village together.

In a moment, the fire dragon had jumped into the village, and suddenly there was a shout, and the screams rang out, Liu Qi was even more anxious, and quickened his pace, and suddenly vaguely saw several people coming to him, holding knives in his hands from time to time with cold light.

"Who is it!?" Liu Qi shouted, Yu Ji quietly blocked in front of him, and the others were also vigilantly guarded with bows and arrows.

I only heard a panic from the person on the other side, and suddenly a person shouted: "It's Yu Immortal, don't panic, it's not a thief." ”

Liu Qi heard the voice of Gao Hong's soldiers, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask, "What happened in the village?" ”

The four soldiers stammered, "Hundreds of people rushed into the village, killing people and stealing food!" Presumably bandits from the mountains came here to plunder. There are many thieves, so stay away from here with us, two immortals! ”

Liu Qi was suddenly furious: "As an official soldier, how can you run away without a fight when you see the thieves, and let the thieves slaughter the villagers!" Come back with me to meet the enemy! ”

With a master like Gao Hong and an immortal-level bodyguard like Yu Ji, Liu Qi is naturally not afraid of any bandits, and he is a defeated bandit. For him, all his knowledge of ancient warfare comes from movies and novels, so it is natural to think that a fierce general can drive a large group of ordinary soldiers like rabbits, and with double insurance around him, he instinctively feels that he is safe, and he never thinks about whether he is in danger.
