Chapter 771 Liu Ji is out, ask for a monthly ticket)
Pei County.
Liu Ji was walking on the streets, feeling like he was in another world.
Ever since Lin Ze led his army to sweep across the world, how long had he been forced to hide in the mountains and forests and eke out a living?
It's probably been more than a year.
For more than a year, he felt that he was wandering in the Mangdang Mountains like a wandering soul, feeling terrified all day long.
He didn't even dare to stay in the same place for more than three days, for fear that someone would find traces and lead to pursuit.
Occasionally I meet an Orion, and no matter how happy the conversation is, in order to block the news, I have to kill him in the end.
Feeling the hard stone slabs under his feet instead of the soft mountain mud, Liu Ji couldn't believe that he actually came out and appeared in the world again.
Just when he was in a daze, a Confucian scholar next to him reminded him: "Pei Gong, it's time for you to summon your old troops, revive your troops, overthrow the violent Qin, and restore a peaceful world to the world."
Liu Ji glanced at the Confucian scholar in surprise: "Are you so anxious? This is my first day out of Mangdang Mountain."
The Confucian scholar glanced at Liu Ji and said calmly: "This is the decree of the Confucian sage."
There is one thing that Liu Ji has always done well, and that is knowing current affairs.
Confucianism is powerful, and the Confucian sage himself spoke, so naturally he would not think of rejecting it.
So Liu Ji replied with a smile on his face: "Sir, wait a moment, I will ask someone to contact the old department. I will definitely complete what the Confucian sage told me."
After speaking, Liu Ji had a straight face and ordered to a guard captain beside him: "Go to the military advisor, Mr. Xiao. Mr. Cao comes over and says that I have something important to discuss with them."
"As for the location..."
Liu Ji thought for a while and said: "Let's go to the county government of Peixian County. If the magistrate of Peixian County understands the current affairs, I will spare his life. If he does not understand the current affairs, I will sacrifice him to the flag."
After receiving the order, the captain of the guard bowed to Liu Ji and left in a hurry with two of his men.
A quarter of an hour later, Liu Ji was sitting in the lobby of the county government office, watching coldly as a group of guards cleaned up the body and cleaned away the blood stains.
The magistrate of Peixian County, whose cultivation was no more than the fourth level of martial arts, refused to surrender to Liu Ji to avoid harming his family in Chang'an, so naturally he had no other choice but to die for his country.
Liu Ji ordered the huge head to be hung on the city wall to tell everyone in Pei County that he, Liu Laosan, was back.
Zhang Liang and the others who came after receiving the news couldn't help but frown slightly when they saw this scene. Liu Ji's move was a little too impatient.
When Liu Ji saw the three people coming in, he stood up quickly and said with a bright smile: "You three are here just in time. Please take a seat quickly."
In his words and deeds, he doesn't look like the master of three people, but rather like the subordinates of three people.
Zhang Liang and the others naturally did not think so, but bowed respectfully to Liu Ji and said, "Meet my lord."
Liu Ji quickly pretended to be displeased and said: "Why are you so polite? Sitting here and there is just making Gu uncomfortable."
Zhang Liang coughed lightly and said: "The etiquette cannot be abolished. In the future, more and more people will worship my lord. My lord should get used to it as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Liu Ji had a look of embarrassment on his face. When Xiao He saw this, he quickly smoothed things over and changed the subject: "I wonder what the Lord has ordered me and the other three to come here?"
The embarrassment on Liu Ji's face immediately disappeared, and he talked like a normal person: "The thing is like this, the Confucian sage issued an edict, asking Gu Zao to get up and raise the banner of anti-Qin."
"In Gu's opinion, the three of them are Gu's right-hand men and humerus ministers. I would like to ask the three of you how to get back on your feet?"
Zhang Liang frowned slightly when he heard this and said, "My lord has just come out of the mountain. It's not clear what the situation will be. If you are so impatient, haste may lead to waste."
Before Liu Ji could speak, the Confucian scholar next to him said sternly: "This is the decree of the Confucian sage, do you dare to neglect it?"
Zhang Liang looked at the Confucian scholar with cold eyes and said in a cold voice: "How dare you falsely pass on the Confucian sage's edict? Are you seeking death?"
The Confucian scholar was startled and said urgently to Zhang Liang: "Who falsely conveyed the Confucian sage's edict? You must not slander anyone."
Zhang Liang said word by word: "With the respect of a Confucian sage, how can you not know the truth that haste makes waste? You keep saying that it is an edict from the Confucian sage, how can it not be false?"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the hall looked suspicious and looked at the Confucian scholar who spoke.
The Confucian scholar had never experienced such a battle before, and said angrily: "The Confucian sage's decree clearly stated that Pei Gong must gather all the men within half a month, and then sacrifice to heaven to condemn the crimes of violent Qin and show his determination to destroy Qin."
"How dare I lie about such a big thing?"
A look of surprise appeared on Zhang Liang's face, and he said loudly: "Everyone has heard it. The Confucian sage clearly said that within half a month, but this person previously lied about it immediately. What does this mean if it is not a false edict?"
When the Confucian scholar heard this, his anger suddenly froze and he was speechless for a long time.
Upon seeing this, Liu Ji quickly smoothed things over and said, "Military advisor, please don't draw any conclusions first. This gentleman may just be too concerned about the Confucian sage's decree and is a little impatient. He has no intention of misinterpreting the Confucian sage's decree."
"If you have to give me mercy, please forgive me, and don't pursue it any further, okay?"
Zhang Liang glanced at the Confucian scholar coldly and saluted Liu Ji: "I will obey my lord's order."
The Confucian scholar wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, saluted Liu Ji and said, "Thank you, Mr. Pei, for your understanding."
Liu Ji laughed and replied: "There is no need to be polite. We are all Confucian sages who obey orders and should be considerate of each other."
Having said that, the Confucian scholar looked at Zhang Liang with a hint of resentment.
The Confucian scholar's expression naturally could not escape Zhang Liang's eyes. The latter just smiled secretly and did not pay attention.
Even if such a fool relies on Confucianism, what kind of trouble can he cause?
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little low, Xiao He spoke again: "Although it is not the best time now, it is not impossible to summon people. As far as I know, there are many people loyal to the lord in Pei County. Why doesn't the lord summon them first?"
Liu Ji nodded repeatedly and said, "What Mr. Xiao said is absolutely true. Why don't we leave this matter to you?"
Xiao He clasped his hands and said, "I have my wish, but I don't dare to ask my ears."
Then Liu Ji looked at Zhang Liang and said: "If we want to conquer Qin, a large army is indispensable. Gu Xiang entrusts those guards to military advisors to train them into an army."
"In addition, the military advisor is asked to take full responsibility for recruiting soldiers. What does the military advisor think?"
Zhang Liang cupped his hands and said, "I should live up to your Majesty's expectations."
Finally, Liu Ji looked at Cao Shen again and said, "The military advisor and Mr. Xiao have other things to do. How about leaving the Peixian county government to Mr. Cao to take charge?"
Or because he was afraid that Cao Shen would think too much, Liu Ji explained: "It's not that I have a bent to bend my talents, but that I currently have no place to establish myself, so I can only entrust him to the county. If I promise again, if I get the county, I will entrust it to the county. If I get the county, I will entrust it to the county."
If I am alone, I will entrust him with the province. I will never be indebted to Mr. Cao."
Cao Shen cupped his hands and bowed in reply: "My lord, I understand in my heart, and I will never complain about it. Please rest assured, lord."
Liu Ji breathed a sigh of relief and said, "In that case, I'll trouble you all."
After speaking, he stood up and bowed to everyone.
Liu Ji's move immediately caused a panic in the lobby. Some people wanted to step forward to help him up, but others could only follow and salute.
Zhang Liang said anxiously: "My lord, no."
It's a pity that he said it a little late. Liu Ji finished his salute and stood up.
When Xiao He saw this, he suddenly yelled: "My lord is so good, why don't you teach me how to die?"
The rest of the people reacted and shouted loudly: "I, my subordinates, are willing to die in the service of our lord."
Liu Ji looked at Xiao He with eyes that became softer and softer. This is the most ideal minister in his mind. He is capable, knows how to advance and retreat, and can solve the lord's worries and solve problems.
Unlike some people, they are capable and have a good temper.
