Local finance buys off the local army, which is the prototype of warlords. Once the army can maintain itself without the support of the central government, then you need to decide who to fight for.
Chen Xi has been avoiding this kind of thing. Even though Chen Xi almost controls the entire country's finances, Chen Xi has never distributed military expenditures to the army in his own name. He has always distributed military expenditures based on the fate of the country and in accordance with procedures and regulations.
Similarly, Liu Bei has been avoiding this matter. The leader of the army must be himself, relying on popularity, prestige, and organization. Liu Bei has always controlled this, but what does it mean now?
At this moment, Liu Bei's face was ashen, Bi Laoliu was trembling with fear, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. If someone else asked, Bi Laoliu would never tell them all so honestly, but the question was about leaving, so even if it was another question,
Even if he is afraid, he will tell the truth.
Even if Bi Laoliu knew very well that after he spoke out, he would probably be implicated, but after more than ten years of living under his family, he had no food to eat, no clothes to wear, and no house to marry a wife and have children.
, food, clothing and security, how did all this come about? You must have some conscience.
So Bi Laoliu knelt down silently and told everything he knew.
Liu Bei was furious when he heard this. This anger was not towards Bi Laoliu, but towards people like Yanzhou Nongliang. Bi Laoliu just happened to meet at the right time. As the commander of the East County garrison, when the opponent was trying to control the situation, he belonged to the middle class.
Bi Laoliu, a key general at the top, only accepted his share of the New Year's gift, so what he said was not outrageous, but Liu Bei was really angry.
"Xuan Degong, calm down, the matter is not that big yet." Chen Xi looked at Liu Bei's angry expression, clapped his hands and said. Chen Xi could also see that Bi Laoliu didn't think about anything else at all. What did Liu Bei ask?
Just tell me directly if you know.
However, Bi Laoliu may be a marginalized figure in this matter. He knows more because as the commander of the Dongjun garrison, others cannot get around it, and it is impossible to kill Bi Laoliu. He retreated from the battlefield and did it.
The guys who have been sent down from the Jingling Guard for three years are not that easy to kill.
It is completely different from the technician who handled it before. There are many brothers like Bi Laoliu who have carried guns together. If something really happened, someone will come down to investigate. The friendship accumulated on the battlefield will be really harmed. Those who have carried guns together will be killed.
The gun brother came here in person, and it would be strange if he didn't check it from beginning to end for you.
"Isn't this a big deal?" Liu Bei looked at Chen Xi like a lion and roared.
"How should I put it? I can barely tell if I encounter this kind of thing." Chen Xi sighed and said, "Look, at least one of the three commanders in the garrison has not been corroded, right?"
"No, no, no, Er Xiong is the same as me. Neither of us cares about this matter." Bi Laoliu said quickly, "We all know that there is such a thing, but we don't go into it deeply."
"Er Xiong?" Liu Bei recalled for a while, "Can that thing be used as a composer? Isn't there something wrong with his brain?"
Bi Laoliu fell into deep thought, why could Liu Bei remember Er Xiong?
"That's not right. There are three commanders in the East County garrison. How can Er Xiong be the commander? Where's Huang Fang?" Liu Bei thought for a while, dug out a bunch of relationships from the depths of his memory, stared at Bi Laoliu and asked,
"Huang Fang is still the name I changed. Where is the person?"
"Brother Huang fell while riding a horse two years ago and hit his head on a rock." Bi Laoliu said with some regret, "Then everyone recommended Er Xiong to be the music leader."
"Are you sure that guy fell and wasn't tricked? That guy was born in the cavalry, and there weren't many local garrison horses. When he was decentralized, he specifically approved a horse. Why do I think there's something wrong with this?
What?" Liu Bei squinted his eyes and looked at Bi Laoliu. It is impossible for Liu Bei not to think wrong about such a big matter.
Bi Laoliu fell into deep thought, and his face turned blue after a while, but he still did not speak. At that time, many brothers checked, and finally the horse was buried with Huang Fang.
"If that idiot Er Xiong was recommended and submitted, who recommended it?" Liu Bei had obviously entered the stage of doubt at this time. Er Xiong had mental retardation, but he was stupid, big, black, and thick, a macho man who had become a gangster by practicing Qi.
A man who is really two meters tall is not suitable to be a music director at all.
However, the local army usually recommends people, and then compares the files with the superiors. As long as the problem is not serious, it will not be rejected. Although Er Xiong has an intellectual disability, he is very good at killing people. The records in the first row of the file only need to be reported.
, the review will definitely not be stuck.
"It's Brother Li." Bi Laoliu shrank and said. He was not a fool. How could a ruthless man who had accumulated military exploits on the battlefield be a fool?
"Li Huan?" Liu Bei asked after recalling for a while, "Call your men, call Li Huan over, and say that I, Liu Bei, asked him to come over."
When Bi Laoliu heard this, he trembled and ran out to inform the guards to find Li Huan, without daring to say a word during the whole process.
"How many trustworthy subordinates do you have?" After Bi Laoliu came back, Liu Bei obviously felt a little tired, but he still cheered up and said to Bi Laoliu.
"Except for the new recruits who are local young men, the backbone are all locals who have been on the battlefield with me. These people are all trustworthy." Bi Laoliu was already mentally prepared at this time.
"Let your people prepare." Liu Bei exhaled and said. He no longer believed that Zhang Ji could blockade Dongjun. If Li Huan was corroded, the blockade would be a ghost!
"Call Er Xiong as well. You must also know the people under Er Xiong, and call for those you can trust." Liu Bei sighed and said.
Bi Laoliu nodded. At this time, he had already estimated what would happen next. When he returned, he put on his armor and prepared to fight. However, when he thought that he might be facing his former comrades, Bi Laoliu was obviously a little depressed.
"Do you think Huang Fang was murdered?" Chen Xi asked after taking a sip of tea.
"If it's not the best, if it is, then we can only send out the army." Liu Bei's face looked neither sad nor happy, but Chen Xi knew very well that Liu Bei was really angry now.
"Do you remember the one named Li Huan?" Chen Xi asked curiously.
"When Yuan Benchu sent people to attack Mount Tai, Li Huan led his people in a bloody battle." Liu Bei sighed and said, "During the decisive battle in the north, he killed two Euphorbia soldiers, but he was also seriously injured. In addition, because of his age, his family
And I only had two daughters, so I applied to be discharged from the army, and with my accumulated meritorious service, I was transferred to a local place to be a music director."
"Are you worried that he interfered?" Chen Xi looked at Liu Bei and asked.
"He must have intervened. Since Er Xiong was not brought up by Bi Laoliu, it can only be Li Huan." Liu Bei sighed and said, "It's okay for Er Xiong to kill the enemy. Let him be the commander. He won't be able to win the army."
It's strange that the generals don't know the soldiers and the generals don't know the soldiers. I think it was Bi Laoliu and Li Huan who helped. If someone intervened, this would be the best opportunity, and Bi Laoliu is not very experienced in the world..."
Liu Bei didn't say anything further, but Chen Xi understood that it was absolutely impossible for Er Xiong to participate in this matter, not because of his integrity, but because he had a brain problem and couldn't figure out this logic at all, so Er Xiong was just a decoration.
Just get paid like Bi Laoliu.
Maybe Er Xiong still thinks that the money comes from the state, but Er Xiong doesn't have this understanding at all about Yanzhou Agricultural Food.
"Er Xiong had a fever when he was a child and his brain was burned out. He joined the army at the age of 16 or 17 and was taken by someone else. But he is very strong and can fight well. If it weren't for his brain problem, I think he would be able to leave his body with Qi." Liu Bei
Recalling the two-meter-tall Er Xiong, he said with some emotion, "It's impossible for him to distinguish these things. In his eyes, Yanzhou Agricultural Food means the same thing as logistics."
"You can't bribe him no matter how much you pay." Liu Bei shook his head, "So if any of the three of them has a problem, it can only be Li Huan."
At the same time, Bi Laoliu has rushed to Li Huan's home. Li Huan has always been busy in the past two years. The two parties drink less often and their relationship has become weaker. However, Bi Laoliu has already made some guesses after Liu Bei's inquiry.
, but I still hope this is fake.
So after notifying others, Bi Laoliu picked up his spear and came to Li Huan's home in person, and Li Huan happened to be at home.
"Well, Lao Liu, it's rare to see you come to my side." When Li Huan saw Bi Lao Liu, he was stunned for a moment, and then welcomed him with a smile.
"Li Tou, let me give you a word, how much do you know about Yanzhou Agricultural and Grain?" Bi Laoliu looked at Li Huan and asked directly. Now that we have reached this level, there is no need to waste time.
Li Huan was stunned when he heard this, then he smiled and said, "Sixth, why are you suddenly interested in this? I called you before, but you didn't have any interest at all?"
"I'm not interested. I'm just here to ask for an answer. Li Tou, the two of us have been carrying guns together. It has been fifteen years since we went to the battlefield. Counting the time when we were thieves together, it will be even more." Mr. Bi.
Liu Jiang knotted the spear, held it in his hand and asked Li Huan.
"Who wants to know?" Li Huan also didn't smile.
"Brother Huang underground wants to know." Bi Laoliu stared at Li Huan and asked, "Li Tou, you were the one who collected Brother Huang's body. I took Er Xiong and others to carry it out. To give my brother the truth, what happened back then?"
Who did this?"
"The person who did it has already been killed by me." Li Huan saw the hatred in Bi Laoliu's eyes, and then said calmly, "That family was the one who died in the fire last year."
Bi Laoliu breathed a sigh of relief. In any case, Li Huan did not do it to Huang Fang, so the two sides could still talk. If Li Huan did it, then he would have no choice but to take action.
"Lieutenant, I'd like to invite you." Bi Laoliu put away his spear, no longer as aggressive as before, and then made a gesture of invitation.
"Sure enough, this day has come." Li Huan sighed, then looked at his wife behind him, "I'll go and have a few words with her."
"Li Tou, the lieutenant should still remember you, he still remembers us people." Bi Laoliu put away his gun and said suddenly when he saw Li Huan turning his head.
