"Are you Deng Zhi?" Liu Qi couldn't help but be moved after hearing the young man's name. Could it be that this is the famous Deng Zhi in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms?
Historical records record that after Soochow killed Guan Yu, Liu Bei became enemies with Sun Quan, failed in the attack on Wu, and died of illness in Yong'an. Deng Zhi went to Soochow in accordance with Zhuge Liang's instructions, and died without fear, fulfilling his mission, prompting the reconciliation between Shu and Wu, and becoming Deng Zhi.
The biggest highlight of Zhi’s life.
It is said that in history, Deng Zhi entered Shu when he was young and was not reused, so he went to ask Chang Yu, who was good at physiognomy. Chang Yu said that he would definitely be able to become a marquis and a general in his later years. So Deng Zhi first sought refuge with Pang Xi, the governor of Brazil, and was soon summoned by Liu Bei as the dignitary of Pixian County.
Governor, and later served as magistrate of Pixian County, prefect of Guanghan, and minister. After being envoy to Soochow, he successively served as the Central Supervisor of the Army, General Yangwu, former military advisor, former general, governor of Yizhou, and Marquis of Yangwuting. Finally in the 6th year of Yanxi
He was appointed as a general of chariots and cavalry and awarded the Fu Jie. In the 11th year of Yanxi's reign, he led his troops to Fuling to quell the rebellion and won. He died in the 14th year of Yanxi's reign.
The fortune teller Chang Yu's prediction was extremely accurate, and Deng Zhi was granted the title of marquis and general. This also depended on the fact that the young Deng Zhi had a clear goal in life. It seems that the fortune teller's words cannot be fully believed, and must not be disbelieved! From this, Liu Qi thought of what he wanted to do in Jiangling.
When he returned to Longmen Town after stealing the Goujian Sword, he encountered Hu Banxian who was pestering him about the word test. Liu Qi decided to become a king on the land. He might not be able to become a king in the future. This ancient fortune teller was so accurate.
"That's right." After Deng Zhi replied, he saw that Liu Qi seemed numb, but he didn't know that Liu Qi, who had traveled through the special forces, was already wandering in the sky of history.
"Oh, Deng Zhi, here are some horses whose legs have been cut off and cannot be ridden. Let the villagers drag them back to the village. They can survive for a while by marinating some horse meat during the Chinese New Year." Liu Qi expressed concern.
"Thank you, eldest son." Deng Zhi bowed to Liu Qi and was deeply impressed by Liu Qi's love for the people.
"Go." Liu Qi waved his hand, suppressing the joy in his heart at meeting Deng Zhi, and ordered Chen Wu, who was already dressed as a thief: "General Wu, enter the city overnight, march urgently, and set off."
"Yes." Chen Wu responded and led eight strong men dressed as thieves to gallop towards Xinye City.
Deng Zhi looked longingly at Liu Qi leading the two hundred soldiers to march towards Xinye City. Suddenly, he felt a huge sense of loss in his heart. From the look of joy in Liu Qi's eyes, Deng Zhi thought Liu Qi would immediately recruit him into the army.
Unexpectedly, Liu Qi ignored him with indifference, which greatly affected Deng Zhi's self-confidence.
Deng Zhi originally wanted to have a chat with Liu Qi, the brave and upright Xinye who truly loved the people, so that Liu Qi could feel how talented and strategic he was. However, it turned out that the eldest son did not have the intention to recruit talents. Deng Zhi suddenly felt that this young man who had just taken office had no intention of recruiting talents.
The Xinye County Magistrate lacked discernment, so he suppressed the urge to recommend himself and planned to go to Luoyang to join the good scholar Pang Xi after the New Year.
A man who has done something good will definitely be able to become a marquis and become a prime minister. The words of the fortune teller Chang Yu often came to Deng Zhi's mind. Although the eldest son Liu Qi loves the people, he is not a good scholar. Could it be that Deng Zhi, who is full of knowledge, is so unworthy of you, the eldest son of Jingzhou?
The Dharma Eye?
Deng Zhi regretfully looked at Liu Qi's army that was gradually disappearing into the night. He felt helpless. He sighed deeply and said to the old man: "Grandpa, the eldest son has gone far. I will ask the villagers to cut the horse meat."
The old man hunched over and waved his hands repeatedly: "No, Uncle Miao."
Deng Zhi knew that grandpa was timid and afraid of getting into trouble, so he asked with a smile: "Is grandpa afraid that after eating the horse meat from the thieves, the thieves will massacre the village in revenge?"
The old man worriedly said: "This is exactly what I am worried about."
Deng Zhi said: "Grandpa, you are too worried. The thieves are powerful warriors. Without officers and soldiers to suppress them, they will naturally plunder the people. With such a powerful officer and soldiers stationed in Xinye, the thieves will either fight for the city with the officers and soldiers, or they will flee to other places to avoid them."
Sharp, of course, has no time to take care of the people's granaries, not to mention that the people's granaries are almost empty and there is no profit to be made."
The old man was a little unconvinced and still half-convinced: "Bo Miao, what you said seems to make sense. Are you really so sure that the thieves will not enter the village again?"
Deng Zhi patted his chest and said loudly: "Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely not make fun of the lives of the people in the village. I have been familiar with military books since I was a child, and I have a good grasp of the psychology of horse thieves. If I can't predict such a trivial matter, then
I have wasted twenty years of my life."
"Okay, as Bo Miao said, my grandfather and grandson went to the village to ask people to carry the horses to cut the meat. It would be a pity to waste such good horse meat. With these fresh horse meat, the folks in the village can live a prosperous life.
It’s New Year’s Eve, and it’s really timely help. It’s all thanks to the eldest son.”
The old man believed that Deng Zhi's conclusive analysis confirmed that the thieves would not harm the villagers. He was very excited and kept talking with Deng Zhi's support:
"Bo Miao, it's the eldest son who is the county magistrate who decides for the people. If the eldest son hadn't stepped forward and led the officers and soldiers to wipe out these horse thieves who killed a thousand people, I'm afraid I don't know whose girl would suffer.
Already."
"Bo Miao, in troubled times, aspiring young people should seek refuge with the Ming Dynasty. I think the eldest son Liu Qi, magistrate of the Ming Dynasty, is brave and upright. He must be a man who has won the hearts of the people. The eldest son will have immeasurable future."
"Bo Miao, you should never forget your roots. I think the eldest son Liu Qi is a good person. When Bo Miao is born, he can join the eldest son's sect and repay the kindness of the eldest son for sacrificing his life to save the villagers."
The old man's mother-in-law said a lot, but it made sense. Deng Zhi felt a little worried on his face. Just now, he was thinking about going to Luoyang to join Pang Xi after the New Year. Now his grandfather wants him to join the young master Liu Qi to repay the kindness of saving the villagers.
, This makes Deng Zhi very embarrassed. The old man is right, you can't forget your roots as a person. People eat the roots of the tree of conscience. If a living person loses his benevolence, righteousness and morality, he will be a body without thought and soul.
Thinking that Liu Qi had no intention of recruiting talents, but had the grace to save his life, Deng Zhi was very conflicted in his thoughts on the way to help the old man back to the village. In the end, he decided that it would be better to surrender to the eldest son who was not a good scholar, especially if he had to tolerate it.
The good scholar Pang Xi gained respect from his disciples...
Liu Qi was riding on horseback and sensed Deng Zhi's psychological expectations. This is because God has eyes. When he was about to take over the new country and there was a shortage of talents, he sent Deng Zhi, a famous general from the Three Kingdoms with great talents and strategies, to come. Liu Qi was not happy.
Strange.
Liu Qi was convinced that the Deng Zhi he met in the village at the foot of Fenghuang Mountain was a historical person, not an ordinary person with the same name. Why? Liu Qi learned from the history books he read before his rebirth that Deng Zhi was indeed a new savage from Yiyang, that is,
Xinye, Nanyang County during the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Deng Zhi looked to be around 20 years old, that is, he was born around 171 AD, which is basically consistent with historical records.
Deng Zhi, whose courtesy name was Bo Miao. According to historical records, Deng Zhi had an upright and simple character in his life, and did not know how to embellish his emotions. Therefore, no scholars made friends with him. Moreover, he did not have much respect for the people of the Eastern Han Dynasty at that time. Only Jiang Wei had high regard for Deng Zhi.
After serving as a general for more than twenty years, he made clear decisions on rewards and punishments, and showed compassion for the soldiers. He obtained food and clothing from the government and did not manage private property. His wife and children even suffered from hunger and cold, and there was no extra property at home when he died.
Judging from Deng Zhi's experience in leading troops to Fuling to quell the rebellion in the 11th year of Yanxi's reign, we can see that Deng Zhi was a man of both civil and military talents. Now that we are suppressing bandits and employing people, it is God's stroke of luck that we meet Deng Zhi.
There is a reason why Liu Qi did not recruit Deng Zhi immediately when he met Deng Zhi. Considering Deng Zhi's upright and simple character, I am afraid that asking Deng Zhi to join Liu Qi's sect will easily arouse Deng Zhi's suspicion and disgust.
He felt that Liu Qi was proud of himself for exterminating the thieves and saving the villagers from the chaos, so it was too strong to force his words.
As the magistrate of Xinye County, considering Deng Zhi's arrogant character and a special talent like Deng Zhi, Liu Qi certainly had a way to make Deng Zhi return to his family soon, even if he played hard to get.
Liu Qi immediately murmured that in order to recruit talents, he must have fantastic ideas. He thought that in the future, there would be a famous historical figure Deng Zhi by his side in Xinye to accompany him to govern the county. It would be a very glorious and brilliant thing to reborn the Three Kingdoms.
Twenty or thirty miles away, it only took half an hour to march. Chen Wu and his eight strong men had already rushed to Xinye County to open the city gate in advance, while Liu Qi followed behind with his infantry at a distance of one or two kilometers.
When Chen Wu led eight soldiers dressed as thieves and rode to the moat of Xinye County, he deliberately ordered the knights to circle and raise smoke and dust. There were also knights waving a broken "Du" flag in front of the city gate and waving it desperately.
The guard at the gate did not suspect a fraud, thinking that Du Chang was returning to the city at night from plundering from other counties. He slowly lowered the suspension bridge, and Chen Wu took the lead. Eight strong men on horseback rushed into the city brandishing their spears and spears.
Chen Wu pretended to open the city gate so easily without encountering any questioning. This shows that the military quality of the thieves was very low. He didn't even have a password. Perhaps the guards were anxious when they saw that "Chang Du" had brought his brothers.
Those who opened the city gate to show their merit never expected that officers and soldiers would invade, let alone officers and soldiers dressed as thieves to occupy the city.
Du Chang deployed not many thieves to defend the city gate, and he couldn't afford more men. They were only dozens of people. There is no doubt that Chen Wu occupied the city gate in just a moment, and the heads of the guards who disobeyed even a little fell to the ground.
, the man who abandoned his knife, knelt and knelt to beg for mercy, escaped death.
After General Chen opened the city gate, Liu Qi led 200 soldiers and escorted 20 carriages containing military and living supplies, and quickly entered the city, leaving a team of people to guard the city while the rest waited to escort the surrendered city gate.
The guards found the county government office controlled by the thieves, and immediately surrounded the county government office. With just a cup of tea, they controlled the thieves in the county government office. Those who resisted died and those who begged for mercy lived. More than eighty people were detained at one time.
There was a thief, and the prison where the robber was held was overcrowded.
The thieves in Guandong roamed the mountains and forests, and they may have been strong in robbing houses, but staying behind to manage the city was really not flattering. Liu Qi took control of the county overnight and officially took over Xinye, becoming the first powerful county magistrate in the history of time travel.
The county government office is very large, with a large courtyard, seven or eight small courtyards, a main room, a side room, a kitchen, a miscellaneous room, the county magistrate's hall, and dozens of rooms in a row, which can house more than a dozen maids and Chen mothers and a
Two teams of personal guards seemed more than enough.
The design of the entire county government compound is very humane, warm in winter and cool in summer, with patios, wells, whitewashed walls, tiles, horse-head walls, brick, wood and stone carvings, as well as stacked courtyards, high ridges and cornices, winding corridors, pavilions and pavilions.
etc., located in Henan, the county government office in Xinye has quite an Hui-style architectural style.
Such a beautiful and elegant county government office, suitable for working and living, is obviously an ideal place for Liu Qi to take charge of the new country. It is a bit regrettable that such a county government office, which looks like a folk Forbidden City, was somewhat dilapidated by the thieves who entered the house.
There was human urine and horse excrement everywhere, making the place stink. It seemed that the defeated Montenegrin bandits were just living in this place and had no intention of staying there for a long time.
It is not difficult to carry supplies into the house and clean the house. Liu Qi leaves these chores in the county government office to Wen Dai to clean up. Wen Dai has his own way to lead thirty personal soldiers to guard, take the maids, and Chen mothers, for
Young Master Liu Qi sorted out the bedrooms, study rooms and the lobby where prisoners were interrogated.
Anyway, the county government office could not be accommodated for the time being, so Liu Qi was determined to cut off the trouble quickly and ordered Chen Wu to lead a team of people to the address provided by Jiang Zou, kill all the thieves hiding in the houses overnight, and escort them all to the gate of the county government office to wait for County Magistrate Liu Qi the next day.
of hair loss.
After a night of clearing out the gangsters in the city, Wen Dai's efficient cleanup work brought the clean, elegant and elegant Xinye County Mansion with Huizhou architectural style to the world's eyes.
While the people of Xinye City were still sleeping, the new Xinye County Magistrate Liu Qi eliminated the Black Mountain bandits in the city in one fell swoop on a cold winter night, took office overnight, and successfully took charge of Xinye. As the morning sun rises, Liu Qi will reveal
