In the military camp, Li Hugo called all his generals together. He looked around and said slowly: "We are gathered here today for a very important matter."
The people around looked at me and I looked at you. They were all frightened. They didn't know whether Li Huguo was going to lose his temper or issue some harsh military order.
It should be known that when Li Huguo was governing the place, he was very generous to others. He was always known for his benevolence and righteousness, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, with enough food and clothing.
But Li Huguo was a different story in terms of running the army. He was very strict in running the army. The three major disciplines and eight points of attention were all very strict. Once someone violated it, no matter how old the official was, he would be punished.
The three major disciplines are very simple. The first is to obey the command in all actions, the second is not to take advantage of the masses, and the third is to return all seizures to the public and then distribute them.
The eight points of attention are easy to understand: speak kindly, be fair in transactions, return borrowed things, compensate for damaged things, do not beat or curse others, do not damage crops, do not molest women, and do not abuse captives.
There was once a little soldier who trampled on the people's dealers in order to save money. Li Hugo was so angry that he almost broke his legs. Such a scene also won the love of many people.
Of course, people don’t know that this is a framework put forward by a great man of later generations, and it is very simple and simple. Of course, it is not simple at all to implement.
Li Huguo said: "Today we are gathered together for one thing. I will select seven military generals as the seven generals."
Li Yuguo handed a scroll to Xun Yu, and Xun Yu immediately released it.
Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Gan Ning, Sun Ce, Guan Sheng, and Han Shizhong are the seven-star generals.
Then there are the four pillars, Xun Yu, Xu Shu, Cheng Yu, and Pang Tong.
After the announcement was finished, those who did not win the bid were very regretful, but no one was jealous, because each of the seven-star generals selected by Li Hugo had made great contributions, and some of them had even achieved unparalleled achievements.
The Four Kingdoms Pillars were four wise men who gave Li Huguo advice and were able to unify a land as large as Jiangdong, Jingzhou, and Huainan. The achievements of the Four Kingdoms Pillars are indelible.
After Xun Yu finished reading, he came to the team. Pang Tong said: "Wen Ruo, did you and the lord come up with this strategy?"
"No, it was my lord who came up with it. Originally, Ma Chao wanted to go back to the northwest. Now my lord has named him one of the seven-star warriors. From now on, Ma Chao will be tied to our boat in Jiangdong. With each move of the lord, The ten eagles with arrows can be said to be unparalleled in the world. Such a world-class reputation will definitely be talked about by future generations. If anyone leaves the lord, it is equivalent to giving up this world-class reputation. The lord's move is really too clever. ." Xun Yu said with his thumb raised.
In fact, Xun Yu admired Li Yuguo very much in his heart. This kind of strategy not only won people's hearts, but also made sense. It was simply the most brilliant plan in the world, and no one in the world could match it.
But although everyone was happy, there was one person in the corner who was silent. That person was Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu lowered his head and gritted his teeth, but his heart was burning like a fire.
Zhou Yuxin said: "Why am I not the pillar of the Four Kingdoms? Why? He, Pang Tong, is a arrogant and arrogant man! He, Xu Shu, is just an impulsive murderer who has killed people before! He, Cheng Yu, is just a subordinate of Cao Mengde. He escaped. He came here because he couldn't survive under Cao Mengde. He didn't expect that he would become the pillar of the Four Kingdoms all of a sudden! Who is he, Xun Yu? He is only a few years older than me. He knows how to keep accounts. How can he know what to do with him? When the soldiers are fighting, the lord never takes him with him into battle, so why can he become the pillar of the country? And who am I, Zhou Gongjin? I am the most talented man in Jiangdong, I... "
He was so angry that he couldn't breathe smoothly.
"Gong Jin, what's wrong with you? Seeing that you are breathing so fast, is it possible that you are not feeling well?" Sun Ce whispered to the side.
Zhou Yu was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother, but he thought to himself: Why is Sun Ce so straightforward? Of course he was angry that he was not given the title of National Pillar! But Zhou Yu still said with a smile: "No, it's nothing. Maybe I ate something in the morning and my stomach is a little uncomfortable."
"Do you want to go to the latrine?" Sun Ce said directly.
Zhou Yu clenched his fists, making them clatter, but he still said with a smile: "Later, go later..."
As the saying goes, when soldiers come, the water will be covered by the earth. Zhou Yu will naturally not show weakness blindly. So after reading the Seven Star Generals and Four Kingdoms Pillars, Zhou Yu mentioned the matter of Sun Shangxiang. He stepped forward and said: "My lord, Sun Sanmei is now in her prime." , My lord does not have a wife by his side, this is not a long-term solution, I am not very talented, and I hope that my lord can add a beautiful lady."
"Is this one person? These are three people. This matter is very important, so let's talk about it later. After all, although the parents make the final decision on their children's marriage, now Sun Shangxiang is focused on General Sun. Even if it succeeds, it will not be discussed. There's no rush." Li Huguo casually found an excuse to excuse himself.
Suddenly Zhou Yu felt as if he had been struck dumb, and was speechless for a moment.
After the meeting, Li Yuguo came to the tofu stall. At this time, Diao Chan had been waiting for Li Yuguo for a long time. In the past three months, Li Yuguo came here to eat every day. Once, he almost recognized Diao Chan, but Diao Chan had a sour plum in her mouth. He changed his voice to cover it up.
"General, you came a little late today, and the tofu is already cold." Diao Chan said, "Can I heat it up for you?"
"No, my head is just hot. Let's eat something cold to wake up." Li Huguo said very slowly.
Diao Chan smiled and said, "What's wrong? Did you encounter any trouble?"
"Well." Li Huguo put down the spoon, and without minding the people around him, he directly picked up a piece of pork belly and put it into his mouth. While chewing, he said: "A few of my brothers asked me to take concubines, and there are still a few of them. Little girl.”
As soon as these words came out, Diao Chan's heart sank, but she quickly calmed down and said, "Actually, there should be a woman around the general to take care of him. How about those little girls?"
"Very good, three of them. All of them are beautiful and fragrant. They are absolutely beautiful women from the south of the Yangtze River..." Li Yuguo sighed and finished the bean curd in one go. "Here's another bowl."
"Drink slowly. The weather is bad today, so I have left a lot for you." Diao Chan turned around, feeling a little uncomfortable. She bit her lip and said with her back to Li Hugo, "Then do you agree?"
"No, I don't like them. Although marriages between aristocratic families are very common, I just hate such matchmaking. I... have a small heart and the number of people I can accommodate is very limited." Li Hugo said.
"Oh? Then who is in your heart?" Diao Chan said with a forced smile.
Li Huguo said without hesitation: "My family is Hongchang."
As soon as she finished speaking, Diao Chan's hand trembled, and the bowl of bean curd that had just been filled fell to the ground...
