Back to the Three Kingdoms

Li Bo picked up the wine glass and said apologetically: "Bi County is no better than Luoyang. It only has turbid wine to serve guests. Please forgive me!"

Chen Lang picked up the wine glass and drank it, and said, "This wine is so sweet to me!"

Li Bo was very pleased, and quickly raised his head to dry the wine. Immediately after putting down his wine glass, he stood up and walked to Chen Lang. He bowed deeply and said sincerely: "Xiaguan, on behalf of the fathers and veterans of the county, the officials and the people of the whole county, return to the command of General Yingyang!" Then he said apologetically, "Previously. Therefore, if you didn’t return immediately, I was really worried that it was not the general's intention! This time the general came, the subordinates no longer have any doubts!"

Chen Lang was about to say a few words of encouragement, but suddenly a loud voice came from outside: "My lord, why don't you just ask me to make a hasty decision on such a big thing?"

Chen Lang and the others turned their heads to look, only to see two tall and thin guys with a breath of air coming in together.

Li Bo hurriedly said: "Didn't we have discussed it? Why did the two suddenly say such things?"

The two ignored Li Bo and went straight to Chen Lang. The older man clasped his fist and said, "The general must be a general under General Yingyang!" Chen Lang nodded, "Yes. What is your Excellency." People?" The human said: "I am the local Israeli army commander Li Tie." Pointing to another person next to him, "This is my brother, Li Mu. Both of me are local volunteers commanders." Li Mu immediately clasped his fists. Said: "I have seen the general."

Chen Lang nodded and said; "The two can help County Madam Li resist external humiliation. It is admirable!"

Li Mu glanced at Li Bo, and said unceremoniously: "If you want to say the credit, we two brothers don't let it go, and the county magistrate is in charge of the grain and grass!" Li Bo looked ashamed. Li Tie said loudly: "Brother, you can't say that. Even if this is true, I can't help but give the magistrate face."

Chen Lang smiled and asked, "Are your brothers thinking differently from County Order Li? It doesn't matter, just say anything if you have anything to say."

Li Tie clasped his fist and said: "Don't dare! I'm very honored to be able to serve as the powerful General Yingyang! It's just that there is one thing I want to clarify before that!"

"Oh? But it doesn't matter."

The eyes of the two brothers Li Tie and Li Mu radiated desire. Li Tie asked eagerly: "I don't know if I have served General Yingyang, how will General Yingyang reward us?" Li Mu hurriedly said: "We have ten thousand horses, and let General Yingyang occupy such a large piece of land for nothing. General Yingyang can't be stingy with an official position!"

Chen Lang nodded, "I understand." He glanced at the two of them and asked, "What kind of official position do you want?"

Li Mu hurriedly said, "At least we have to let our brothers become prefects!" Li Tie nodded.

Chen Lang said, "I need to send someone back to ask for instructions on this matter."

Li Tiedao: "It's understandable that the general can't completely call the shots. But General Yingyang should understand that we can sell to him, and of course we can sell to others!" Li Mu immediately said, "Yes! Ying Yang is great! If the general can't meet our requirements, we will sell it to others! It's always the higher price!" Li Bo couldn't stand it anymore, and scolded with a red face: "You, how can you be so rude to the general?! "

Chen Lang smiled and waved his hand, and said, "It's okay. What the two leaders said is the truth. Please go back and wait a while. I will give you a satisfactory answer soon!" The two were overjoyed. , Li Tie clasped his fists and bowed; "Then we will wait for the good news from the general!" Then the two left the hall.

Li Bo bowed to Chen Lang infinitely in shame: "The general forgive me, I didn't expect them to be like this!"

Chen Lang smiled indifferently and said, "Master Li doesn't have to apologize, it's not your fault." Then he asked, "Who are these two people? Are all the volunteers in this city controlled by them?"

Li Bo sighed and said: "I heard the news that the Huns were going southward, and when I was flustered, I asked them to come forward to organize the rebels to guard the city. The two of them were brothers, originally local hunters, but later pulled up a group of people to run wild. In the village, the government had no way to deal with them. I originally thought they had the ability to organize a team against the Huns, and it was true, but I didn't expect that when the Huns retreated northward, they would become more rampant and even I couldn't control it! "

"They completely control the rebels in this city?"

Li Bo sighed and said, "Although it can't be said to be complete, it's almost the same. Except for the rebel army formed on the basis of the native soldiers, they are all controlled by them."

Chen Lang thought for a moment, and said: "Listening to what they said just now, they seem to be still in contact with other forces. Do you know who it is?" Li Bo frowned and shook his head, "I don't know about this official. "Then asked worriedly: "Will the general canonize them as prefects?"

Chen Lang did not answer and asked, "Do you think it is better to agree or refuse?"

Li Bo hesitated and said, "If you agree, I am afraid that these two people will be unbearable. But if you refuse, I am afraid that there will be unpredictable changes."

Chen Lang said, "Major Li, I want you to find out who the two brothers are in contact with." Li Bo nodded, clasped his fists and said, "I'll go under the officer." Chen Lang exhorted: "Don't let it. He thinks I asked you to understand, and you have to make them think you want to get on the same boat with them." Li Bo nodded and said, "Xiaguan understands! Xiaguan retire!" He bowed to Chen Lang and hurried down. Up.

Li Gun couldn't help but said, "My son, I'm afraid those two brothers won't break their promise and tell you the magistrate, right?"

Chen Lang smiled and said, "Since they want to bargain with me, how could they not reveal a little information." Then he said to Li Dang: "I want you to pick a few clever brothers immediately and pretend to be locals and go to the vicinity of the Simen City Gate. Keep guard, and then..." Chen Lang confessed to Li Gun, and Li Gun clasped his fists to promise, and walked down quickly.

After receiving Chen Lang's confession, Li Bo hurried to the barracks of the two brothers Li Tie and Li Mu, and saw the two brothers. Li Tie said mockingly: "What did the magistrate do not accompany the envoy of the general to come to us?"

Li Bo smiled and said: "The two people who have reached an agreement with me before, why are they different from what they said before?"

Li Tiedao: "Our brothers have their own plans, so I don't need to worry about it."

Li Bo begged: "I said that two people, we are in Gaodu, we are in the same boat, two people can't leave the official! The official dare not fight with the two, but please two For the sake of the fellow townsman, I can get the official down! Is there a better place for the two of you to talk to the envoy of the general just now?"

Li Tie said with a smile: "Since the county magistrate has spoken to this point, if I don't explain it, wouldn't I be sorry for the feelings of the villagers? Okay, let me tell you. In fact, the Southern Xiongnu sent a secret envoy not long ago. Contact me and hope that I can lead the soldiers and Gao Du to submit to them."

Li Bo was surprised and said: "The Huns?" He frowned, "What benefits can the Huns give us?"

Li Tiedao: "The conditions given by the Huns are very generous. If the general can't let me be the prefect, we will have to take refuge in the Xiongnu Shanyu." Li Bosi nodded, and then pleaded: "Please be sure. Help me on the premise of the Huns! Please! Please!" Li Tie said generously, "This matter is easy to handle. We will talk to him when the Huns come next time." Li Bo is not grateful. "Thank you, thank you very much! The life and wealth of the official depends on the two brothers!" "You are welcome," Li Tie said with a smile. Li Bo handed his hand: "I will leave it to the two brothers for everything! There are still some trivial matters in the lower government office, so I'll leave." "No."

Li Bo bowed to the two and hurried away.

Seeing Li Bo had gone, Li Mu couldn’t help saying; “Brother, the county magistrate wanted to vote for General Yingyang all day long, so how could he suddenly change his mind? I think he’s probably acting for Yingyang. The envoy of the great general came to see our brother's tone!"

Li Tie sneered and said, "Of course I know."

Li Mu was taken aback, and hurriedly asked; "Since the older brother knows, why tell him such a thing?"

Li Tie smiled and said, "Brother, if you want to buy a good price, you have to let the buyer know that he is not the only buyer, and that other buyers are bidding higher than him!" Li Mu froze and understood. , Thumbs up and said excitedly: "Big brother is really smart! I don't think even those military divisions in ancient times are as smart as my elder brother!" Li Tie smiled triumphantly, and said: "You go and prepare General Yingyang to enshrine us. It was revealed to the messengers of the Huns for the prefect, to see what price they could offer!" Li Mu replied and hurried away.

Li Bo returned to the county office and immediately informed Chen Lang of what he had inquired about. Chen Lang frowned and murmured: "Are you the Huns? These people want to take refuge in a foreign race!" Li Bo said angrily: "I didn't expect them to have such plans." Then he said nervously: "If General Yingyang can't meet their demands, I'm afraid they will really have to take refuge in the Huns!"

Chen Lang smiled coldly and said: "No, this kind of thing will not happen." Li Boxi said: "Can the general agree to their request?"

Chen Lang said: "If the general agrees to this request, how can he command the army? How to manage the locality?"

Li Bo asked in a puzzled way: "But the general just said...?"

Chen Lang smiled and said: "How can the dead go to take refuge in a foreign race?" Li Bo was startled, "General, the general is going to get rid of them?!" Chen Lang said, "I didn't want to do this. But they forced themselves into it. It's a dead end." Li Bo panicked and said in a panic: "But, but what should I do? With my strength, basically... Unless the generals can arrive as soon as possible!"
