When Li Shushi was still in Xihe, Li Gan could be said to be the first group of Li clan members to follow Li Shushi all over the country. Together they fought against the Jie people's marauding group, went deep into the Wuwan people's gathering place, and also fought with all kinds of monsters and monsters.
Have fought.
It can be said that if Li Shushi was looking for someone among the young people of the Li family in Xihe who he felt was most capable and easy to use, then Li Gan could be said to be the best candidate.
When Li Shushi left Xihe, he wanted to take Li Gan with him as his confidant. However, Li Gan had become obsessed with the kind of chivalrous businessman's path of traveling all over the country while being a businessman and a spy for the Han Dynasty. On the other hand, it was also because he trusted Li Gan with him.
Li Gan felt that he had benefited a lot from Li Shushi's blessing, and although he could not often listen to his teachings, Li Gan felt that he had benefited a lot from both Lu Zhi and Li Shushi.
Personally, I am extremely grateful.
Later, also recommended by Li Shushi's letter, this once-relying assistant of Li Shushi became a hundred-man general under Lu Zhi. He took off his businessman's coat and officially embarked on a military career.
What has to be admitted is that although it cannot help in the identification of character, Li Shuzhen's ability to identify talents is impressive enough just by being able to see the five-dimensional basic attributes, and has become his
A big sign. And Li Gan is not Li Shushi's first famous work, nor will he be the last person to benefit from Li Shushi's "intelligent eyes".
Therefore, with Li Shushi's recommendation and Li Gan's efforts, Li Gan can now be regarded as a pillar of the Shuozhou Army. He and the young men from the Lishi family who united around him have become
A force that cannot be ignored in the Shuozhou Army can even be said to be second only to the mixed army under Qu Yi and the Yellow Turban Army represented by Zhang Yan.
In other words, with most of the previous two forces remaining in Shuozhou, Li Gan could even call himself "the number one general beside Lu Zhi" without any hesitation.
It is conceivable that Li Gan, who has such a status and has no lack of matching military exploits, received the courtesy in Chang'an City.
After all, even the Xiliang Army admires Li Gan, a frontier general with practical military exploits.
Even with Dong Zhuo's acquiescence, Li Ru, Li Jue and others quietly explored the possibility of recruiting Li Gan. Even after being sternly rejected by Li Gan, they did not show much anger. In fact, they even became more angry with Li Gan.
Some respect.
But what about now?
"Haha. That guy is the so-called 'famous general of Shuozhou' Li Gan. I don't think he's that good at all. I can easily defeat three of them like this. The so-called 'famous general' against the barbarians is probably just a massacre."
He raped a few small tribes of barbarians, and then took the heads of those herdsmen as military merits. Only those barbaric Xiliang people would take a fancy to someone like him."
"That's right, that's right. Fish look for fish, shrimp look for shrimp, and the only ones who can take a fancy to bed bugs are those rats who are also filthy. Hahahaha!"
"Master Situ is really kind. It's better to eradicate this guy who will become a traitor sooner or later. Maybe he wants to pity these cowards and wastes, hahahahaha!"
"..."
Bang!
"Brother Dare, why do we have to endure to this extent? Even if Quan Chang'an comes to deal with those frivolous young people, it will only take a cup of tea. If the tiger doesn't show its power, you really think we can't..."
Beep!"
"Yes, Mr. Lu has been retreating and forbearing, just because he doesn't want to hurt the old feelings. But look at what Mr. Lu got in exchange for being so righteous. There is only slander and the humiliation of scratching his nose and face. Shouldn't we
I will fight my whole life for this kind of person!"
"Yes, Brother Min and Brother Tao are so right! If this continues, we Shuozhou people will be completely embarrassed, and our Li family will also be completely embarrassed. How will we face the truth then?
Sir and the brothers who followed him to Bingzhou!"
With the loud noises of slamming the table and shouting loudly, the originally noisy wine shop suddenly fell into a strange silence. Everyone turned their attention to the only "lively" corner, as if they wanted to
See clearly who is "speaking arrogant words" there.
Soon someone recognized the identity of this group of drunkards who didn't care about the surrounding atmosphere at all, so they couldn't help laughing. After all, the "crazy words" spoken by those drunkards were indeed true in the eyes of insiders like them.
"Drunken Rampant".
After all, since the death of Dong Zhuo, the cowardice and forbearance of Shuozhou soldiers have spread throughout Chang'an City. Not to mention the soldiers from Yizhou who were stranded in Chang'an City, even the private soldiers secretly raised by the ministers seemed to be stronger.
A few points ahead of them.
Fortunately, these people thought that these guys who were admired by the Xiliang people were also scary before, but now it seems that it is actually a conspiracy set by the Xiliang people.
Taking in the reactions of the people around him one by one, Li Gan, who was still somewhat sober, slowly tasted the bad wine in his hand while frowning and thinking about something.
Different from ordinary soldiers and even middle- and low-level generals, as a subordinate whom Lu Zhi relies on, Li Gan has a better understanding of the current situation. He knows very well that Lu Zhi hopes to use his concessions in exchange for most of the courtiers.
of unity.
But he knew better that although such noble behavior was admirable, it was not suitable for this era. Today, when the imperial power has weakened, of course, if you want to be an emperor, you will face the consequences of a group attack, but if the emperor's order is not enough
It has the strength to back it up, but how much deterrent is it?
Especially since he has many correspondence connections with Bingzhou, he has long known Bingzhou's attitude towards this matter, which makes him even less optimistic about the group of courtiers who are jumping happily on the stage now. The princes who can survive in this troubled times,
Even if it’s Li Shushi
The heart is not dark enough, or maybe it is Liu Bei, Yuan Shao who hopes to maintain a certain old order, and will never hesitate to use thunderous means to protect his own interests. The unscrupulous behavior of the courtiers will only bring about the only result.
The only possible difference is whether Li Shushi came directly by himself or whether he would kill with a borrowed knife for the sake of his reputation.
So...
Seeing that although all of the people next to him were already drunk, their eyes looking around were full of indifference and murderous intent. Li Gan couldn't help but smile in his heart - enough resentment had accumulated, and it was time to put it down
When lit.
Although doing so disappointed Lu Gong, he also hoped to use this fact to tell Lu Zhi that some things cannot be reversed by just a few people. If you do it forcefully, not only will you not get the results you want, but you will not get the results you want.
Moreover, it will also make you fall into a depressed and decadent situation. On the contrary, following the trend is the only way to gain access to your thoughts.
Who said... there are so many people in this world who overestimate their abilities!
"Brothers, copy the guy!"
So, in just half a day, the Shuozhou Army generals slaughtered all the Yizhou Army soldiers and powerful private soldier leaders in a tavern, and then raided the Yizhou Army's camp outside Chang'an City. The soldiers in the camp were not combatants.
The deceased was the Yizhou general who was captured and left behind.
The leader Gao Pei was captured by Shuozhou Army General Li Gan after only ten more fights. Only a small number of Yizhou soldiers were lucky enough to escape because they were attending a secret meeting in Situ's Mansion. However, these people could only stay in Situ's house at this time.
The people in the mansion were trembling and did not dare to lead the troops back to their base.
Obviously, the sudden actions of the Shuozhou people completely shocked everyone in Chang'an City.
It even includes Lu Zhi, who has been living in a state of intoxication at home, the Third Duke who still retains the position of Taiwei.
"You, why are you doing this..."
"Gong Lu also knew Li Zhoumu's private evaluation of Wang Zishi. Judging from this period of time, we do not believe that Wang Zishi and his party members are capable of saving the country of Han Dynasty. Rather than letting these people destroy the last hope of our country,
It is better to leave the hope of reviving the Han Dynasty to those who have the ability to achieve it. This is what the true loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty should do!"
"One Dong Zhuo is enough. The big man can't stand the torment of the second Dong Zhuo. Although Prince Master is a little impatient, I know him well. There is no way he will become Dong Zhuo's second."
"But with the prince's teacher here, how many of the princes in the world will be crowned kings and how many will be crowned emperors! Does he have the ability to intimidate those young people?"
"Aren't you still here? Unless you are no longer willing to be loyal to His Majesty, then you don't need to make noises with me, a bad old man. You can cut off my head early to collect the reward from your new master."
"If Mr. Lu is willing to raise his arms, we will naturally be willing to die for him. But that prince, huh! He will not stop until he dies!"
"Hey... what I'm most worried about is this. You are going to put me on the fire. One Dong Zhuo is enough."
"Didn't you once say it, Mr. Lu? It doesn't matter if you suffer a little infamy for the sake of the great Han Dynasty. Looking at the world, you are the only one who has the ability and prestige to clean up this mess. If you hesitate to move forward just for the sake of a little reputation,
Then the country of the Han Dynasty is really in danger, is this what you want to see?"
"Haha, why do I feel that these words are not something you can say? Tell me, who taught you."
"Some of them were brought up by Mr. Li, and some of them really came to mind because of my experiences these days."
Looking at the young man in front of him, Lu Zhi fell into deep thought.
Blame the other person for not understanding you?
However, he was not unaware of the insults and censures received by the other party and those who had followed him through life and death to fight for the glory of the Han Dynasty, and now worked tirelessly to follow him into the dangers of Chang'an.
Lu Zhi had gone through it more than once when he was wronged. Even now, he is going through it, and the bitterness is truly heartbreaking.
The reason why a saint is a saint is that he can endure things that ordinary people cannot endure for his own goals. But just such a simple sentence makes a saint a being that the world looks up to. From this we can see the hardships involved.
How terrifying.
Lu Zhi himself is still some distance away from being a saint, so he feels that he is not qualified to ask others to become saints. Not to mention that at this point, it is not easy for those who used to follow him to tolerate it because of him.
.
So blame Li Shushi for inciting the emotions of these young people?
This is even more of a joke. As I said just now, these original prides have experienced such ups and downs that their original emotions have been suppressed to a very dangerous level. Even if Li Shushi does not take action, it is only a matter of time that such a conflict will happen.
.Not to mention that Li Shushi and them still have a kindred spirit. If it weren't for Lu Zhi's suppression, Wang Yun's blatant suppression of Li Shushi, the current leader of the Xihe Li family, would be enough to anger these straightforward frontier men.
It can be said that after gaining power, Wang Yun not only showed no kindness, but also began to eliminate dissidents before the external pressure was completely relieved, intending to use the emperor's majesty to command the princes of the world. Such an action itself was no different from Dong Zhuo, and did not even have enough power to support it.
What Wang Yun did was even more ridiculous than Dong Zhuo's, and the harm it caused was even greater.
But Wang Yun, who has a tough personality, would definitely not think so.
Seeing that he was no longer able to convince the representative of the Shuozhou Army in front of him, even Du Ji, who had always been loyal to him, also adopted a tacit attitude on this matter. Lu Zhi picked up the wine gourd next to him and thrust it in hard
Finally, let the pungent bad wine from the wine gourd pour in, burning the throat and intestines.
The stomach, and even the limbs of the body. Even if he couldn't help coughing loudly, even if the sprayed wine syrup had covered his gray beard and the crane cloak that was a little gray from too much starch, he didn't mean to stop. Even Li
Even Gan Da and Du Ji were unable to wrest the wine gourd from the hands of this old man with both civil and military skills.
What they faced was an arm as hard as a rock.
"Okay. I'm tired. Leave me alone for a while."
After saying that, he threw away the empty wine gourd in his hand. Du Ji and Li Gan stood up and left without looking at Du Ji and Li Gan, who were beside them with wry smiles and sneers on their faces. Although they staggered as they walked, they pushed stubbornly.
He opened the door and planned to come to help him.
"It looks like we really made the old man angry."
Although he didn't think there was anything wrong with what Li Gan and the others did, seeing the exhausted back of Lu Zhi, whom he admired like a teacher and father, the bitter smile on Du Ji's face became even more intense.
Sadness and uneasiness.
"Even if Mr. Lu plans to compete, we can't just watch him suffer like this. Although what we do will make Mr. Lu suffer the slander of Xiao Xiaoxiao, but compared with the great justice of the world, even ordinary people know that this kind of trivial loss should be punished.
How to choose? Allowing those little ones to control the government is the greatest disloyalty to the Han Dynasty!"
Looking at Li Gan's indignant face, Du Ji couldn't help but sigh deeply, but he didn't say anything more, but patted the other party's shoulder hard, and Li Gan also pressed his hand as if he had a tacit understanding.
When they looked at each other's hand that was about to leave his shoulder, everything was unspoken.
But what they didn't know was that Lu Zhi, who seemed to be faltering, actually heard clearly what they just said.
He stood silently in the corridor and looked up at the roof. After a long time, he shook his head and continued walking towards his bedroom.
Although he was a little bitter, he knew that he could not deceive his heart, because he also felt that Wang Yun's approach was inappropriate. It could be said that his heart had actually been shaken before Li Gan led others to take action.
Now, he just planned to use the inferior wine to pay tribute to those former friends and comrades-in-arms. After a sleep, he, Lu Zhi, would stand up and clean up the mess left by those young people.
He, Lu Zhi and Lu Ziqian, finally had the day to decide the rise and fall of the Han Dynasty.
It seems that I can finally have a good sleep.
In a daze, Lu Zhi saw the ugly-looking middle-aged scribe guarding the door of his bedroom.
This person can be called one of the oldest people in Lu Zhi's house, because he is one of the "legacies" left to Lu Zhi by the deceased Dong Zhuo, but he is different from the other "legacies" Dong Zhuo left to Lu Zhi.
The difference between the servants is that this middle-aged scribe had already been influenced by Lu Zhi and betrayed Dong Zhuo.
Because of his existence, the original plan of Lu Zhi and Wang Yun became a lot more convenient. It was precisely because of his achievements that after Dong Zhuo's death, this hateful-looking man who looked more like a butcher than a scribe became Lu Zhi.
The little boss in charge of the handymen in Zhi's house can be regarded as one of Lu Zhi's more trusted subordinates.
If I treat others with sincerity, they will treat me with sincerity.
Although such thoughts have long been shattered by the mysterious court, it is precisely because of Lu Zhi's behavior that his men and subordinates are devoted to him and help him survive one difficulty after another.
"Shen Xiu, you go and have a rest. I don't need anyone to take care of me right now."
Even though he was just a servant, even though Lu Zhi was in a complicated mood and didn't want to say anything more, he still cared about the other person for a few words, and then staggered past Shen Xiu, preparing to go into his bedroom to relax.
Clear your mind.
But just when he was about to step into the bedroom, suddenly...
Pain, severe pain.
Accompanying the severe pain was a smell that strongly irritated the nasal cavity.
Seeing the ever-expanding pool of blood on the straw mat spread on the ground, Lu Zhi knew clearly that it smelled like death.
"There is no good or evil in politicians."
This was the warning given to him by a senior he respected when he was young and ambitious and embarked on an official career.
"On this road, there is only the blood shed by yourself and others. Since you have embarked on this road, you must have this kind of awareness."
He has always remembered these words, and he even had this realization a long time ago.
The heart was penetrated, and the blood flowing back due to the rupture of the heart didn't seem serious. It seemed that as long as there was no blood supply to the brain, he would not be finished according to the strange laws of this world.
But...
The body has gradually turned green, and unlike ordinary poisons, the poison extracted from the dagger is mixed with the tentacles of a strange creature that is said to come from the fairy islands in the extreme south.
The previous poisons came from the venom obtained by sea poisonous snakes in the same place, the venom from the terrible fish in the deep sea of the far east, and the tail stinger of the highly poisonous scorpion from the far west, supplemented by sulfate.
The ultimate poison obtained by Huang Zhishu.
The poisoned person will not only lose HP rapidly, but his body will be paralyzed and his brain will be stiff. Not only will he be unable to make movements, but he will even be unable to implement life-saving strategies. It can be said that it will not take long for the poisoned person to have any hope of survival.
possible.
You asked Lu Zhi why he was so aware of the toxicity of this poison.
Because in order to test the power of this refined poison, and at the same time in order not to attract the attention of some people, a large number of innocent people were sacrificed as experimental subjects. Although the conclusions reached were
People were happy, but then various unexpected changes made this poison useless.
Originally, this thing that hurt Tianhe should be destroyed, but who would have thought...
With his eyes filled with bloodshot eyes full of anger and unwillingness, Lu Zhi fell down with a distorted face.
Although the body was caught by the perpetrator and no unnecessary noise was made, the angry eyes could not be closed, as if they were scolding the murderer and the real culprit behind the murder, stern and majestic.
The murderer was timid. He knew exactly what kind of person he was attacking and what kind of prestige he had. No matter which aspect it was, it was enough to make him feel unprecedented fear.
Run away, run away, run away...
Only the body that quickly rotted and stinked was left behind, and a pair of eyes filled with anger and unwillingness... (To be continued...)
