51. Never leave
Liu Qi, who had not closed his eyes for a day and a night, fell asleep on the spot next to Gao Teng, with Gan Ning presiding over the overall situation, and Gao Tan and Gao Jing guarding him by his side, he didn't have to worry about it at all, so he slept exceptionally peacefully.
After dawn, Liu Qi opened his eyes and saw that everyone's faces were full of joy, knowing that the condition of the wounded must have improved, and sure enough, Gao Teng's body temperature dropped a lot and his pulse increased, indicating that his physical functions began to recover, and it can be said that if there is no accident, he is out of danger.
The condition of the other wounded was also stable, most of them woke up, Liu Qi hurriedly washed his face and went to visit the wounded, and saw with his own eyes that they were indeed recovering well, and felt very relieved.
Cheng Guan, who was as strong as an ox, was the first to wake up, and after seeing Liu Qi, this murderous iron man who didn't blink was crying like a child and couldn't speak, struggling to get up and kneel for Liu Qi, Liu Qi hurriedly comforted him for a long time before calming down Cheng Guan's excited emotions.
Seeing Liu Qi exposing the strip of cloth on his shoulder to bandage the wound, Cheng Guan looked ashamed: "How can a villain be worthy of such a cheap life, Mr." β
The class concept of the ancients is really deep-rooted, and it is difficult to change even if it is worn out, Liu Qi was very helpless, so he had to condense his eyebrows and feign anger and said: "Is Wen Chang still willing to follow me in the future?" β
Cheng Guan was startled and hurriedly replied: "Naturally, the villain has no second heart for Mr." β
"The righteousness of brothers, never abandon them!" Liu Qi got up and raised his hand to point at the people present and said word by word: "In the future, everyone in our army must keep this in mind, as long as you can do these eight words, then you will never fight alone, and your brothers will always be by your side to kill the enemy!" β
Gao Tan Gao Jing fell to one knee with tears in his eyes and shouted in unison: "Lord! We will follow the Lord to the death, and never turn our backs! β
Cheng Guan also struggled to get up and salute again, and choked up: "Lord! The villain's life will be handed over to the lord from now on! Go to the soup and die without giving up! β
And the other people in the room listened to Liu Qi's words, and their eyes also became hot.
It was the first time I heard someone call himself the main father-in-law, Liu Qi felt very awkward, and at the same time, I was full of emotion for getting Cheng Guan's sincere approval.
But at the door, Guan Zhao, who had just returned from changing the guard, saw the expressions of his subordinates very angry, this son is taking the opportunity to buy people's hearts and dig into his own corner, is this worth it?!
Guan Zhao glanced hard at Gan Ning beside him, as if he was accusing Liu Qi of immoral behavior, but seeing that Gan Ning didn't notice him at all, he had to glare at Liu Qi hatefully and turn around and go out.
Liu Qi also noticed Gan Ning and Guan Zhao, it seemed that there were no pursuers following, so he couldn't help but completely settle down, and after comforting Cheng Guan for a few words, he stepped in front of Gan Ning.
"Brother Shuran, ...... this?" Liu Qi looked at Guan Zhao, who was leaving angrily, and asked.
Gan Ning shook his head helplessly and smiled slightly: "The second brother is just hard-mouthed, but he admires Ziyuan very much in his heart, Ziyuan forgive me." β
Liu Qi hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile: "Where, where, I can only be grateful to Brother Shuran, and I have nothing else to think about." β
Gan Ning suddenly asked, "Would Ziyuan like to go out for a walk with me?" β
"Uh, of course, Brother Xingba, please." Liu Qi was stunned for a moment, then understood what Gan Ning meant, asked Gao Tan Gao Jing to rest, and walked up the hillside with Gan Ning.
Gan Ning didn't take the initiative to speak, and Liu Qi was nervous like a little boy on a first date, he understood what Gan Ning meant, so many people followed him into this big day of right and wrong and killed and injured more than half of them, it was time to give them an explanation.
But Liu Qi didn't know where to start, he really wanted to take Gan Ning's fierce general under his account.
After thinking about it for a long time, Liu Qi still couldn't figure it out, so he simply got straight to the point: "Brother Xingba, go to Jiangdong with me!" β
Gan Ning didn't expect Liu Qi to come to such a sentence without a head, and couldn't help but be stunned, and then asked puzzled: "Jiangdong?" What did Ziyuan do in Koto? β
Liu Qi said sincerely: "Brother Xingba, Liu Jingzhou is definitely not a good master, if my brother intends to make a career in history, he can't do it unless he goes to Jiangdong!" β
The more Gan Ning listened, the more difficult it became to understand: "Does Ziyuan want to go to Jiangdong to go to Yangzhou to assassinate Liu Xuan?" β
Liu Qi shook his head and smiled: "Hehe, Brother Xingba, why do you have to find someone to defect, can't we build a foundation of our own?" β
"Huh?!" Gan Ning was taken aback, stunned for a long time before he was sure that he had heard correctly, and looked Liu Qi up and down.
Is this young man so ambitious, or is he just a fanatic who talks about his ambitions?
However, Gan Ning had to admit that he had been depressed by the fence for many years, and his youthful spirit had almost been exhausted, but he was re-energized by Liu Qi's simple words.
"Ziyuan, is this true?" Gan Ning was not as calm as before, and his voice trembled slightly......
Except for those who went out on duty, Guan Zhao's remaining subordinates all slept with their heads covered, if they would have gotten together to drink, gamble, and talk about bragging in normal times, but now no one is in the mood anymore, after burying the dead villagers in the village yesterday, a dark cloud shrouded everyone's hearts for a long time and could not disperse.
What's more important is that their second brother Guan is not pleasing to anyone now, and no one wants to find unhappiness in the second brother Guan's anger, so everyone stays away from him and rests honestly.
Guan Zhao was walking aimlessly in the village alone, and when he saw Gan Ning and Liu Qi walking towards the outside of the village, he unconsciously followed far behind, and after the two of them stopped on a hillside, Guan Zhao also leaned against a big tree, folded a branch of grass, and squinted at them with long grass in his mouth.
Guan Zhao actually admired Liu Qi's righteousness from the bottom of his heart, otherwise he would not agree to help him save people at the risk of going and not returning, but for the hatred of the fall when they met for the first time, Guan Zhao, who was obsessed with practicing martial arts, couldn't turn that corner for a while.
He thinks that Liu Qi used trickery to win his own tricks, and if he relies on real kung fu Liu Qi's thin arms and tender legs can be slapped with a slap, so he always feels uncomfortable with the admiration and closeness of everyone around him to Liu Qi.
Gan Ning is better than himself in every aspect, and I have no opinion on admiring Gan Ning, but you Liu Qi are not qualified!
Guan Zhao had long wanted to find a chance to compete with Liu Qi again, but he didn't open his mouth because Liu Qi couldn't spare time to treat the wounded, and it was easy to find an opportunity at this moment Guan Zhao couldn't bear it, and threw the grass roots in his mouth to the ground and strode towards the two.
At this moment, Gan Ning and Liu Qi are already talking more and more speculatively, Gan Ning quickly calmed down after a short period of excitement, and raised all kinds of puzzles, after all, most of Jiangdong in this era is still a wild place compared to the Central Plains, and starting a business from scratch is not a simple matter.
Although the choice of Jiangdong as the starting point was only a whim of Liu Qi, and Liu Qi, who had no clue at that time, was just to find Sun Ce to help him fight the world, but Liu Qi was not naΓ―ve enough to wait and enjoy the success, he also carefully analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of this plan, and the result was extremely satisfactory to him.
Of course, all this is based on his limited understanding of this era, but Liu Qi's true purpose cannot be discussed with anyone, so he can only take one step at a time to adapt to the situation.
Therefore, Liu Qi can be said to be confident in persuading Gan Ning, because Liu Qi, who is familiar with this period of history, knows that it is impossible for Gan Ning to be willing to do nothing under Liu Biao, so he will definitely be tempted by his "Jiangdong policy".
But despite this, Liu Qi was still extremely nervous looking forward to Gan Ning's reply, and now Liu Qi's heart that mentioned his throat and eyes could finally be put back in his stomach.
Liu Qi was full of confidence and eloquent conversations, and the answers were fluent, dispelling Gan Ning's concerns one by one.
In fact, Liu Qi was much more relaxed this time than persuading Liu Hong, Gan Ning, as a professional soldier, did not have much concept of political affairs such as population, agriculture, and governance, and he was naturally more concerned about military issues.
In this era, the means of information dissemination are extremely scarce and backward, although Gan Ning has studied for a few years, but what he has learned is really limited, compared with Liu Qi, his grasp of the general trend of the world is as great as the gap in martial arts between the two of them.
After Liu Qi's detailed explanation, Gan Ning can be said to have opened his eyes, and also understood the unique advantages of Jiangdong, and now the princes of all parties and Dong Zhuo of Luoyang contain each other, and they have no time to take care of the areas far away from the Central Plains, and the stronger forces around Jiangdong are Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Yuan Shu of Runan and Tao Qian of Xuzhou, these three are self-guarding and short-sighted, and there is nothing to fear.
Now the Jiangdong counties themselves are not strong, it is indeed a good opportunity to take advantage of the void, as long as they occupy any county, attack and annex the weak from afar, and secretly accumulate military strength, then it is too late to wait for the princes of all parties to notice, because the Yangtze River moat can be worth 100,000 male soldiers, who dares to attack easily?
Gan Ning naturally understood this a little bit, and it was best that a trace of worry disappeared.
What made Gan Ning even more excited was to learn Liu Qi's true background, Liu Qi, who was born in a wealthy family, not only did not mind his humble background, but put his heart into himself, so sincerity made Gan Ning grateful.
There are two main systems for the selection of officials in the Han Dynasty, one is the "inspection system", that is, local officials recommend noble character and outstanding talents to the imperial court through inspection, and then grant official positions after assessment.
The imperial court will ask some questions about governing the country and economic righteousness for evaluation, called "policy questioning", and the person who should be promoted answers the questions raised by the imperial court is called "shooting strategy" or "countermeasures", and the person being investigated needs to pass one or several policy questions before being hired.
The probationary system began with Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and officially became a system by the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, which was intended to break the restrictions of the family class and discover talents with equal talent and virtue in the lower strata of society, but for the popularization of education in the Han Dynasty, the effect of the probationary system did not play a historical role.
Because even if Cai Lun improved papermaking in 105 AD, the cost and output of paper at that time still could not be widely popularized in China, let alone the previous era, so before the two Jin Dynasty, bamboo slips and expensive silk silk were still the main carriers of books in China, which means that books are precious items that are difficult for ordinary people to access.
