Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 587

"As soon as you said 'Dang Tu Gao' and there was no sign of it, this general knew you were lying. I have been in charge of Nanyang and Huaiyang for many years, and I have seen countless people. Your trick to get caught is fine against ordinary people, but against this general, I found the wrong person!" Yuan Shu scooped a ladle full of wine from Jinpoluo, and returned to his bed contentedly.

Now that the atmosphere has calmed down, Liang Xi didn't mind saying some flattering words. He stooped and pretended to let go of his arrogance just now: "When I first left the mountain gate, I made a small plan to defeat Cao Cao's favorite general, Le Jin, in the Battle of Nandun. It's a bit petty. He underestimated the heroes of the world. He even used an ax in front of the general, which made the general laugh."

"It doesn't matter. When this general raised his troops to attack Dong Zhuo, he was also arrogant and wanted to conquer the world with his own strength. It's a good thing for young people to be aggressive, as long as they don't overestimate their capabilities." Yuan Shu looked at Liang. Xi, on the contrary, the more I look at it, the more satisfied I am.Suddenly seeing the women on both sides of Liang Xi, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and waved.

The two women were terrified immediately, but Liang Xi was still recalling the conversation with Yuan Shu at that time.At this time, he had realized that Yuan Shu had no intention of finding out his background at all, and he took the initiative to accept his rhetoric with a gesture of impatience.From this point of view, Yuan Shu wanted to become emperor because he was crazy, but he has not become emperor for so long, and there may be other scruples in this.

Just as Liang Xi was thinking about how to contact Jin Yiwei and slowly deepen Yuan Shu's arrogance, he suddenly heard a heart-piercing scream from outside the door.Liang Xi was startled suddenly, and when he didn't know what happened, he saw two more maids walking back with a huge lacquer plate each, came to him and knelt down on their knees, lifting the plate over the top.When he took a closer look, he was taken aback. There were two pairs of bloody hands on the plate!

Yuan Shu laughed out loud, looking at Liang Xi's unbelievable expression with great interest, he seemed to enjoy giving others such an exciting impression: "The two lowly maids just offended you with these two hands, so this general will make a brief introduction. Bo Punishment, I also hope that Mister will not be offended."

But what Yuan Shu didn't expect was that he, the newly-acquired strategist, was shocked for a moment, then returned to normal, and asked disgustedly: "Does the general want to follow the example of Prince Yan? Although I come from a poor family, I am not Jing Ke." If the general wants to invite those lowly people with the gift of giving a hand, I have no choice but to abandon the general and leave!"

What Liang Xi said was that during the Warring States Period, when Crown Prince Dan of Yan was beckoning Jing Ke, he once specially arranged for a beautiful woman who could play the piano and be good at drinking to cheer Jing Ke up.Listening to the melodious sound of the zither, Jing Ke looked at the beauty's slender, dexterous, white, and pure hands, and his soul was blown away. He praised repeatedly: "Good hands, good hands!".

Prince Dan saw that he liked this singer, so he wanted to give her to Jing Ke.Jing Ke was originally a martial artist, and he was not particularly interested in female sex. After seeing the performance of the singer, he repeatedly admired it. It's just the singer's hands that are amazing when playing an instrument.

But when Prince Dan heard about it, he cut off the beauty's hand and put it on a plate as a gift to Jing Ke.Since then, this matter has been known and passed down.But in the era of Confucianism and filial piety in the Han Dynasty, such behavior was undoubtedly very barbaric, cruel, ignorant and stupid.

The wine bottle that Yuan Shu raised to his mouth stopped, and he looked at Liang Xi seriously again, and asked in a puzzled and cold voice: "Mr. is a military strategist, and he has killed tens of millions of people with a single trick on the battlefield. Why is it that you are so mad at this time?" Human kindness? General, I heard that when you entered the city, you argued endlessly with the Duanmu doctor, and you showed no sympathy for those orphaned beggars. Could it be that you also love beauty?"

"The general looks down on Liang Min too much. What is there to cherish about these women and the lonely old people in the city? Now that the world is uncertain, it is right to sacrifice some ignorant and sluts. What I hate is the general's indiscriminate kindness." Liang Xi picked up A bloody hand was placed in the lacquer tray after careful observation, and continued to talk:

"At the beginning, Prince Pill tried to win over Jing Ke, and I heard that he exhausted all his skills. In order to satisfy Jing Ke's appetite, Prince Dan did not hesitate to kill his Maxima; Playing; for Jing Ke's words, he chopped off the singer's hand... But has the general ever thought that there has only been one Prince Pill in the millennium, and there has never been a shortage of knight-errants like Jing Ke?"

"Why?" Yuan Shu was attracted by the military strategist's unique point of view, so he couldn't help asking.

"Have you thought about it, general, if Prince Dan didn't kill the thousand-mile horse, don't throw away all the money, and didn't chop off the hand of the singer, but gave him all the horses, delicacies, gold, silver and jewelry, fertile land and beautiful houses, and beautiful wives and concubines?" If it is given to Jing Ke, will Jing Ke bid farewell to Prince Dan in Yishui and go to Qin to assassinate the First Emperor?"

"Naturally not. Alcohol, lust and wealth only corroded Jing Ke's ambition, making him eliminate his will to die because of endless desires such as appetite, lust, possessiveness..." Yuan Shu was startled when he said this, and drank his bottle of wine After calming down, he opened his mouth and asked: "Mr., do you mean?..."

"That's right! I just feel that the general treats his subordinates with too much favor, so that the world is not yet settled, and these people are already proud of being favored and spending their time. I can't but the new ones, so the general cut off the maid's hand as a temporary apology. This is a clear proof. The general has indeed seen countless people and has a good command, but the general is open-minded and heroic, but it is not the characteristics of the master. For the general, for the foundation, and for the world, I ask the general to be clear about rewards and punishments, and not to be easily abused. Ender!"

Yuan Shu never imagined that this Liang Min could see such a serious problem from the trivial matter just now.As expected, I was not mistaken, this person is an admonishing minister, a true loyal minister: serving others instead of seeking benefits for oneself, but instead coming up to cut off other people's financial opportunities, who doesn't like this kind of foolish counselor!

So, with a grateful heart, Yuan Shu asked Liang Xi hypocritically: "Mr. Liang, if this is the case, the general's subordinates will definitely regard you as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh. How can this make the general feel at ease?"

"For the sake of the world, why worry about personal gains and losses?!" Liang Xi replied generously, looking more heroic and angry than Jing Ke at the Yishui River: "What's more, the great cause is not yet prosperous, and there are many places to spend money and food. The general should be in the morning Make a plan, don't regret it until it's too late!"

Yuan Shu was instantly complacent, seemingly 120% satisfied with this new recruit.He got off the bed, took down two wine bottles, filled them with wine from Jinpoluo respectively, gave a wine bottle to Liang Xi and said, "This general's husband is just like Gaozu's ovary. Come, drink and win!"

After finishing speaking, Yuan Shu drank it with a gesture of accomplishment.Accompanied by Liang Xijing, he also seemed full of pride.

"Come on, pass on the order. From today onwards, Mr. Liang Min will join the army under the general's command and control the army. This time, I will arrange for you to live in the Keqing Pavilion first. You must serve him with all your heart, just like serving this general. No slack."

The rank of joining the army is not considered high, but Yuan Shu added the words "control the army" afterwards, which made joining the army a real important position.From then on, Liang Xi had the power to counsel and deploy all of Yuan Shu's troops. In the event of a major war, he usually joined the army as the supervisor of the army. It can be said that this is Yuan Shu's great trust in him.

Hearing this sentence, Liang Xi quickly leaned over to thank him.

"Mr. Liang, from now on, you can just ask what you want. Gold, silver and jewelry are fine, as well as fine wine and beauties. Even if it is the person I love, this general will never be stingy. As long as you are loyal to this general, this general will Guarantee you to enjoy the glory and wealth in this paradise on earth!"

"My lord, what I just said just now, did it become a joke, and let the lord forget it?" Liang Xi stepped forward to remind Yuan Shu with a calm expression.

Yuan Shu immediately burst out laughing, but asked with some concern: "Sir, there is no greed in your heart, so how can I let this general feel at ease?"

"The subordinates have greed in their hearts, but the subordinates are greedy, and the world is peaceful! As long as the lord thinks about the world in everything in the future, the subordinates will go through fire and water, and they will do whatever they want!" Liang Xi responded with emotion, and then cupped his hands Worship and go away in style.

Yuan Shu stared at Liang Xi's receding figure infatuatedly, and couldn't help but say to himself after a long while: "Unexpectedly, this general was only in his forties to have such a golden and jade talent. The sky has eyes, and my Yuan family will finally see the light of day what!"
