Lu Yang was indeed worried, worried about what Liu Cheng had done not long ago to capture the general.
After all, this is a member of the government.
Moreover, the direction that he and others are heading is not right either.
If you are going somewhere else from Luoyang and don't want to listen to the orders of the imperial court, then there is nothing to say about passing the border, capturing the general, or even beheading the general. After all, you don't want to follow the imperial court.
But now the schedule for me and others is exactly the opposite.
The destination of himself and others was Luoyang, the center of the entire Han Empire.
I went on this trip not to rebel or anything, but to use Cao Cao's head as a stepping stone to become attached to the court, do something, and make a name for myself.
As a result, this is what happened now...
Is this really good?
Lu Yang is not Liu Shui. As long as he follows his brother, he doesn't care about anything. He cannot help but worry about this situation.
Finally, he couldn't help it anymore and found an opportunity to come to Liu Cheng and express his worries.
"Brother Cheng, why don't we put back all the county captains from Zhongmou? These people will also be disbanded, leaving only Liao Hua and a few others. In this way, we won't be as ostentatious as we are now. Going to Luoyang will encounter many obstacles.
There must be more than just this one, and the others after this will be easier and won't cause too many troubles."
After expressing his worries, Lu Yang hesitated and then gave his own suggestions.
Liu Cheng nodded, and then shook his head. Seeing such a scene, Lu Yang was a little puzzled and a little anxious.
"Go and shout over Yuan Jian and my newly appointed acting commanders and team leaders. I will tell you everything that is on my mind, so that everyone will not feel unsure or uneasy."
Liu Cheng said this.
Although he did not explicitly reject Lu Yang's proposal, it was actually no different from rejecting it.
Lu Yang did as he was told.
In a short time, these people had gathered in front of Liu Cheng.
"I believe that many of you are worried about the future. In order to relieve your worries, I will now let you know what is in my heart, so as to reassure you and prevent you from being anxious."
Liu Cheng looked at the people gathered together and said this.
Hearing Liu Cheng speak, the place suddenly became quiet, and everyone stared at the young man in front of them who had become their actual leader and appointed himself Qu Junhou.
"The court has changed. The person in charge of the court is no longer the old Confucian scholar family, but Dong Zhongying, who was born in the Liangzhou army. This person's behavior is completely different from those before, and he is not very different from the ordinary generals who came from the army.
Same.
He is decisive in style, very courageous, and likes to do things outside the rules. Before he was just a border general, he seized the opportunity and became a big shot in control of the court. He quickly abandoned the emperor and established a new king.
You can see it.
If the people in charge in the court were still the same people at this time, then I would not do any of these things, but the situation is different now.
On this trip, we said we were offering the heads of the rebels Cao Cao and Chen Gong to receive rewards, but in fact we were also taking this opportunity to find a good way out.
If you do nothing else and just rely on these two heads, you can get a good harvest, but I am not satisfied and want to lead everyone to get better things!
When a man is born in this world, who doesn’t want to do more things, become a high-ranking official with a good salary, have a group of wives and concubines, and have a wife and children?!
If you want to get better things quickly and gain a higher status, you must show your strength!
To say something unpleasant is just like selling something.
Only when you show all the benefits of the goods and show the value, will others be willing to pay a high price to buy the goods from you.
This is what I am leading everyone to do now, but the ‘goods’ themselves are ourselves!”
Liu Cheng looked at everyone, said sincerely and without losing his pride, and told everyone what he was thinking.
There is nothing false about what Liu Cheng said, it is the true thoughts in his heart.
As Liu Cheng expressed his thoughts to everyone so openly and honestly, all the people present, whether they had thought about it so much before, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt a sense of peace of mind, and what followed.
Pride and motivation rose from within.
What also rose up along with it was a deep admiration for the Qu Junhou in front of him.
Before, when Liu Chengcai defeated Liao Hua and then took these people into his own possession, many of these guys were not convinced by Liu Cheng.
It's just that it didn't show up due to various reasons.
Now, after just two days of contact, the dissatisfaction these people felt towards Liu Cheng has completely disappeared and turned into respect!
It has even surpassed Liao Hua, the commander-in-chief who has led them for a long time.
Liao Hua himself was convinced of these changes, because he knew clearly what Shaojun had done with them during this period of time.
"Of course the next thing will not be smooth sailing. After all, there will be risks, and you may encounter great dangers. Even if you die, it is just an ordinary thing! If you want to seek some high positions and some wealth, you need to take risks.
Need to fight for it!
I will tell you this first so that you can all be prepared."
Liu Cheng said this. After a pause, he spoke again: "It's not too late now. For those who are worried, it's still too late to leave. I'll provide you with money and food. People are not grass and trees. It's normal to be afraid. There's nothing wrong with it."
Who will laugh at who?"
Liu Cheng said this and looked at everyone.
No one present said anything to leave.
"Junhou! We all are people who can't survive. If they could survive, no one would follow the Yellow Turbans at first, and then go up the mountain to become bandits!
The head is pinned to the waistband, just to earn a life and have a full meal!
Now that Junhou has seen the hope of living well and living like a human being, who would leave?"
Someone spoke and said excitedly.
"That's right! A person who is just like a weed has a low life. As long as he has a good life, who cares about his life?"
"I was willing to risk my life just for a bite of moldy pancake, so there's no reason why I should give up now!"
Everyone expressed their opinions one after another, and their morale was very high...
…
"Ahead is Sishui Pass, which is a famous pass. I really want to see how you get there when the time comes."
While eating, Li Jin was put down from his horse by Liu Cheng.
This guy's mouth is stuffed with pancakes, but it still can't stop him from talking...
