Deng Zhi saw that Liu Qi was kind-hearted, so he had no choice but to order ten bronze-armored guards to cut off the rear. The four guards, Chen Chun, Chen Xia, Chen Qiu and Chen Dong, would serve as the vanguard and march towards Changshan with more than a thousand fleeing people.
Fortunately, the weather was fine. It cleared up for several days and no bandits were encountered. Liu Qi and his entourage, together with more than a thousand poor and hungry people who had no clothes to cover their bodies, slept in the open air and traveled under the stars and at night. Soon they arrived at Changshan Zhending.
Liu Qi led more than a thousand people who were about to enter the city, but saw the city gate opened, and about several thousand people and horses marched out majestically from the city gate. The first one stepped off the white dragon horse, wearing a white helmet and white armor, holding a bright silver gun, and asked about
He was in his thirties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a broad face and handsome appearance, and a majestic appearance. Isn't this person Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong, who was famous throughout the Three Kingdoms?
Liu Qi's mood suddenly became excited. The historical records were indeed true. Didn't Zhao Yun lead these thousands of troops to vote for Gongsun Zan? It was better to come early than to come too late. The thousands of weak and weak people behind Liu Qi were blocking the way.
Staying in Zhao Yun's way is a perfect opportunity to meet Zhao Yun.
Since Liu Qi's horse was given to a frail old man, even though Liu Qi was tall, he could only look up at Zhao Zilong who was riding on the big white horse. After calming down a little, he took the initiative to clasp his fists and salute Zhao Yun: "This person is so chivalrous.
General Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong, whose righteousness soars to the sky and makes corrupt officials frightened?"
"I don't dare to be a general. I am, are you Liu Qi, a young master with kindness among the people?" Zhao Yun immediately raised his hand and responded politely. He had heard before that there was a young master named Liu Qi who helped the people, so he felt that he was so kind.
It is rare to find someone who loves the people. As soon as he left the city, he saw more than a thousand displaced people blocking the city gate. Looking at the ten bronze-armored guards with the banner of "Liu", he knew the heroic figure in front of him without asking.
The young man is the young master Liu Qi.
"The general is overly praised. I am here to travel in my spare time. I don't want the poor and weak people to live with me. I heard that the general is chivalrous and heroic, so I thought about leading the people to find a place in Changshan. I didn't want to block the general's way. It is really a sin.
Unforgivable." Liu Qi still had a humble look on his face. He did not show off, and without showing his love for talents, he said to Deng Zhi: "Brother Bo Miao, let the people squeeze on both sides to make way for the general.
It feels like a light on my back."
Liu Qi didn't meet and asked Zhao Yun where he was going. It was the first time they met. Don't say too much, just follow the etiquette. However, Liu Qi stepped forward to support an old man on crutches, as if he wanted to tell Zhao Yun what he wanted to say.
He said: "Master, the rice can still last for three or two days. I will immediately send people back to Jingzhou to transport grain. If I, Liu Qi, have a mouthful of rice, I will have a bowl of soup to drink."
The old man trembled, coughed several times, and burst into tears: "Young Master is a good man. If I hadn't been rescued by Young Master, this natural and man-made disaster had no relatives, and my old bones would have been fed to the wild wolf and tengu."
"Sir, please slow down. God will not let the people down. Life is not easy. I will not leave a single person alone. I can rest assured and stay here. Slow down, slow down..." Liu Qi slowly helped the old man as he spoke.
Looking to the side, he showed a benevolent attitude of saving people from fire and water.
Liu Qi's words were meant for Zhao Yun. What does it mean to not leave the people alone? If Zhao Yun saw these poor and weak people and ignored them, he would not be Zhao Yun. Liu Qi determined that Zhao Yun would make friends with Liu Qisheng because of his love for the people.
meaning.
Active friendship and passive friendship are two different things. If Zhao Yun takes the initiative to help the elderly and care for the people like Liu Qi, and Liu Qi treats Zhao Yun with courtesy, the chivalrous Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong will definitely attach themselves to Liu Qi sooner or later. After all, he precedes Gongsun Zan.
Meeting Zhao Yun with Liu Bei, the beauty of making friends first is not something ordinary people can understand.
"Young Master." Zhao Yun, who was about to surrender to Gongsun Zan to find his master, shouted "Young Master" among the lightning and flints. He got off his horse and stepped forward to help the old man to the side with Liu Qi.
When Liu Qi heard Zhao Yun call him "Master," his heart warmed up. He knew he was in for something, so he turned around and sincerely called out: "General Zilong."
Zhao Yun was slightly older and looked more stable and powerful, while Liu Qi was in his eighteenth and nineteen-twenties in his prime. The two heroic men looked at each other again, and everything was unspoken.
After helping the old man to the side, Zhao Yun waved his hand and ordered the three thousand rebels behind him to separate on both sides to make way for the common people to enter the city first.
"The general loves the people, Deng Zhi admires him greatly. I wonder where the general is going? Why is he wearing armor?" Deng Zhi saw that it was not good. After Zhao Yun's rebel army separated and allowed the people to enter the city, Zhao Yun did not give up the idea of sending troops out of the city.
He had no intention of talking to Liu Qi in the county town, so he immediately went up to ask Zhao Yun, preparing to persuade Zhao Yun to stay.
"I just met the general. I was so excited that I forgot to introduce him. I am the commander of Jingzhou Biejia, Liu Qi, the commander of Xinye. This brother Bo Miao is the commander of my department, the county magistrate, and the general Deng Zhi and Deng Bomiao." What is the meaning of farewell?
Bu Sima? It means general.
Liu Qi mentioned a series of official positions, indicating that he had great power, and vaguely conveyed the meaning that as long as Zhao Yun relied on him, he would have a bright future.
Liu Qi thought that there were tens of thousands of officers and soldiers in Xinye, and it was time for his officers to be promoted, so he casually appointed Deng Zhi as Sima of another department. This was a coveted position.
, in the future, if he is entrusted with the other divisions, he will not offend other generals. It means that he is the most capable general under Prince Liu Qi.
"Disrespectful, disrespectful." Zhao Yun bowed his hands to Liu Qi and Deng Zhi, his face was calm as usual, but his heart was so hot that he started a lawsuit. He dared not to admit that Liu Qi, the benevolent and caring but elegant young man in front of him, was Jingzhou's farewell driver.
, and also served as county magistrate, and his official position was larger than Gongsun Zan's.
"Deng Sima asked me where I want to go and what I want to do? I will tell you the truth. In today's troubled times, people are in ruins. I want to take three thousand armors to surrender to the Ming Lord and go to Youzhou to join the benevolent Lord Bogui." Zhao Yun said.
Duke Bogui was none other than Gongsun Zan, nicknamed Bogui. Zhao Yun told the truth about his intention to surrender to Gongsun Zan, but his tone seemed a little lacking in confidence.
Zhao Yun lived for thirty-seven years and was considered a well-informed man. Gongsun Zan, who wanted to join him, had only heard about benevolence and was warlike, but the young master in front of him, Liu Qi, was truly benevolent and caring for the people.
, he is a heroic young man who spared no expense of his family's wealth to help the people regardless of his own hunger and cold, and he also has the identity and status of a clan member of the Han Dynasty. This man must not be a thing in the pond, and he has the potential to soar into the sky.
"It is commendable and admirable for a general to express his intention to serve the country. I have something to say, but I don't know whether to say it or not?" Deng Zhi caught a trace of hesitation in Zhao Yun's eyes. This was when Deng Zhi showed off his eloquence.
When persuading Zhao Yun to attach himself to Liu Qi.
Zhao Yun saw that three thousand volunteers had quickly divided into two lines, and more than a thousand civilians supported the elderly and the weak and slowly entered the city. He felt a little anxious and said: "Deng Sima, please tell me something."
Deng Zhi spoke bluntly and said: "The Duke of Bogui is on one side, and General Zilong is a hero of the world. It is a time when heroes and heroes gather together. In troubled times, when traitors are in power, the emperor is abused, and the common people suffer, it is time for an enlightened master to act.
It is only a heroic act to command the world with a banner, clear out the rebellious parties, support the Han Dynasty, and save the people from fire and water. In today's world, the government's principles are not upright, who can raise the banner of righteousness to support the Han Dynasty and command the world? With all due respect, it is neither Bogui Gong nor Zilong.
General, his benevolence and righteousness are spread in all directions, his loyalty can be seen in the sun and the moon, and Liu Qi, the son of the clan of the Han Dynasty."
"What Deng Sima said is true. It's just that it's unbelievable why the young master didn't raise the flag of righteousness and went to a foreign country." Seeing Liu Qi's calm imperial style, Zhao Yun was already moved by Deng Zhi's words, but not yet.
He believed Deng Zhi's words and decided to abandon Gongsun Zan and join Liu Qi directly.
Deng Zhi laughed and said, "General Zilong knows that the young master will not raise the flag of justice? The young master abandoned Xiangyang's fine clothes and went to Xinye with only two hundred soldiers to suppress the bandits and bring peace to the people. What do you think? In less than half a year, under the young master's benevolent rule, Fangyuan
Five hundred miles, the wilderness turned into fertile soil, hungry people became rich, the people had fields, clothes, food, and singing. A small Xinye County was comparable to Luoyang, and Chang'an was prosperous, with hundreds of thousands of households at one time, and the rebel army surrendered
Just like the crucian carp crossing the river, the teacher of benevolence and righteousness is the most brave in the world. Under the rule of Gong Ziren, Xinye has become a peaceful land in troubled times, a paradise for the people to live and work in peace and contentment. In all of this, how can the word benevolence and righteousness be fulfilled?"
"Young Master is mighty." After hearing what Deng Zhi said, Zhao Yun's eyes were full of admiration. He cupped his hands towards Liu Qi who looked calm and calm. With just one sentence, "Young Master is mighty", he expressed his respect for Liu Qi in his heart.
"General, you are mighty." Liu Qi responded with a calm face and cupped his hands to Zhao Yun. Liu Qi was delighted to have Zhao Yun's respect, which was a great thing. The happier he was, the more he had to act indifferently, so that it seemed natural and not artificial.
Obviously, Zhao Yun was persuaded by Deng Zhi's eloquent words. The beautiful scenery of Taoyuan where people could avoid war and live and work in peace and contentment was Zhao Yun's ideal. Whether he defected to Gongsun Zan or fought alone, the people would have no worries about food and clothing.
In order to completely dispel Zhao Yun's last concern about surrendering to Gongsun Zan, Deng Zhi added: "As the saying goes, a good bird chooses a tree to roost, and a good minister chooses his master to work. Although I am a commoner, I have received the kindness of the prince. The prince is always benevolent and righteous."
The soup in the cup is given to the soldiers and the common people, and they often lament the suffering of the common people. As a member of the Han clan, I have a hard conscience. Hundreds of thousands of people in Xinye praise the young master for his kindness. The young master is always worried about the people of the world, but there are too few righteous people around him, so all directions
I am traveling around and want to gather celebrities and righteous people to support the Han Dynasty. I wonder if General Zilong is willing to help the young master in his work?"
Deng Zhi was really good at talking and asked Zhao Yun if he was willing to surrender to Liu Qi. He asked Zhao Yun very directly, and it sounded like Zhao Yun was ready to make a move.
Zhao Yun is not stupid. His ears are deceptive and his sight is belief. Opposite him, Liu Qi, a handsome young man standing in the wind, has won the support of all the people at a weak age. It is incredible.
This was Deng Zhi conveying Liu Qi's feelings. Deng Zhi expressed the words that the young master could not say face to face. After Deng Zhi finished speaking, Zhao Yun, who was in a state of excitement, saw Liu Qi's eyes shining with anticipation and couldn't wait for Zhao Yun to express his position.
Zhao Yun is a sensible person. If he misses the young master Liu Qi today, I am afraid that in the future he will become an enemy of the young master Liu Qi, who is a member of the Han clan and loves the people. That is not the result that Zhao Yun wants to see. He defected to the Han clan.
Dear Liu Qi, raising the banner of righteousness to help the world is the orthodox official career of building meritorious services.
A man who is a true man must be punished if he continues to fail. Zhao Yun has made up his mind. When asked whether Deng Zhi is willing to assist Liu Qi together, Zhao Yun blurts out, shocking Yunxiao: "I am willing."
