Liu Yi smiled slightly: "Lord, I have already jumped on your chariot, so how could I possibly trick you? If I trick you, wouldn't I just trick myself?"
Wang Chen nodded: "Then why do you recommend these three people to me?"
Liu Yi said seriously: "These three people have no ambitions. They only want to be brave and half ruthless, greedy for some visible money, and become rich men in the countryside. But on the other hand, these people are powerful and have many subordinates. A group of brothers who can fight are definitely elites that can be relied upon on the battlefield. To put it simply, their requirements are not high, but the strength they are willing to pay for them is not small."
Wang Chen's brows were still furrowed: "But wouldn't using such a person ruin the reputation of our Wang family?"
Liu Yi smiled and said: "My lord, don't you even use people like the Diao brothers? No matter how bad the three boys from the Zhuge family are, they are still better than the Diao brothers."
Wang Chen shook his head: "It's different. The Diao Kui brothers are also scholars after all, and they are children of aristocratic families. They are greedy for money, but how many aristocratic families are not like this? If they don't love money and only want power, they will become Our fierce enemies, we use them to be greedy, because they only like money and not power."
Liu Yi nodded: "That's it. My lord uses the Diao family brothers only for their greed, but we use the three heroes of the Zhuge family for the same reason. What the Diao family wants is a Zhongzhou governor who can make them crazily keep slaves and make money. , but the three heroes of the Zhuge family want even less. They may only need to dominate a village. What the Diao family can give you is nothing more than money. These three Zhuge family can charge on the battlefield and kill the enemy with blood. "
Wang Chen curled up his lips and said, "But our Wang family is still a high-ranking family. You and Liu Yu are scholars after all. Even if your family fortune has fallen into decline, you still have the status of scholars, so we can still deal with you. But the Zhuge family came from a poor family. Why did the Xie family leave Liu Laozhi alone to make friends with Liu Yu? Is it just because Liu Yu is obedient or innocent? Isn't it because Liu Laozhi is a soldier for generations and has a cold status? .Xile, the separation between scholars and common people is like heaven and earth. It doesn’t mean it will disappear.”
Liu Yi gritted his teeth: "Since my lord doesn't like the three Zhuge brothers, it doesn't matter. I can make friends with them and become brothers. Apart from them, the same is true for Gao Su and his son. I will be with Gao Yazhi." They make friends, and in addition, Liu Xi, Liu Gui and others among the veteran generals of the Beifu Army can also be won over. As long as the Lord is willing to bend the knot, even if it is just a pretense, he can win people's hearts."
Wang Chen rubbed his nose impatiently: "Okay, Xile, I know what you mean. But this matter is related to the reputation of our Wang family. Befriending a child from a poor family may lose the support of the upper-class family. So you Go make friends with these people for me first. Whatever conditions they need, I can transfer them to them through you. Don’t the three brothers Zhuge Changmin only want money? I have plenty here, but don’t reveal that I gave it to you. Just say it was you. That’s fine, how about it?”
Liu Yi sighed, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and said, "Okay, this is the only way."
Wang Chen looked at Liu Yi and smiled: "Xile, why don't you introduce your good friend He Wuji to me? In fact, I have always wanted to hear you recommend him."
Liu Yi curled his lips: "Wuji will not join us easily, so there is no need to mention it to him now."
Wang Chen softly said "Oh": "Why? Hasn't he always been very close to you? And he is also a scholar and wants to rise. I can give him these."
Liu Yi sighed: "He Wuji is Liu Laozhi's nephew, don't you know?"
Wang Chen was slightly stunned and asked in surprise: "Is there still such a relationship?"
Liu Yi nodded and said seriously: "Although He Wuji is a fierce and passionate man, he is just like Liu Laozhi. The city is actually very deep. Shen Yi has many plans. He seems to be very close to me, but he has deep thoughts. But he would never reveal it to me easily. In fact, I always thought that deep down in his heart, he wanted to date Liu Yu more."
Wang Chen shook his head: "Liu Yu's best friend is the fat man Liu Muzhi, and his closest brother is the idiot Liu Jingxuan. He Wuji may not be able to get into Liu Yu's heart, at least he is not the closest."
Liu Yi shook his head: "Liu Muzhi is too weak to help on the battlefield. Liu Jingxuan only has muscles and no brain. Liu Yu still needs someone who can kill the enemy with him and make suggestions. He Wuji is the most suitable person for this." candidate. In addition, he also needs someone to maintain contact with me, and He Wuji can just be this bridge, so we can cooperate with He Wuji, but we must not be on heart-to-hearts."
Wang Chen nodded: "I understand, thank you for the reminder, Xile. After you go back, you will be the same as before, but if you need money, military positions, or ordinary titles secretly, you can contact me. Also, Xie Xuan You're not stupid. If you come out with me like this, will he not be suspicious? You have to think carefully about how to deal with it."
Liu Yi smiled slightly: "I just want to show it to Xie Xuan, let him know that if he doesn't take me seriously, he will always let Liu Yu overpower me. It's not that I won't switch to another place. He now wants the Beifu Army to unite and not split. Otherwise it would be difficult to do the Northern Expedition, so even if you know that I have the intention of finding another place, you will not touch me at this time."
"And I just said that the Xie family is not monolithic. Xie Yan will also find his reliable helpers in the army. In the past, he often contacted veteran generals like Zhu Qianzhi and Liu Xi, but now he should know that the Beifu Army's The future belongs to these young men in the Tiger Force who are not afraid of anything. Therefore, after I go back this time, he will also take the initiative to come to me. At that time, I will use my performance during the Northern Expedition to stir up internal strife between their cousins. Fight, and this is what can best help the lord."
Wang Chen laughed: "Liu Yi, I'm a little scared of you. When you said you were full of conspiracy, I became scared for the Xie family. If you treat me like this one day, what can I do?"
Liu Yi smiled and said: "My lord, no matter what you say, I, Liu Yi, am just a low-class scholar with no foundation at all. If I want to strive to become a high-class noble, it will take at least three or four generations of hard work. Before that, I can only rely on a super aristocratic family like yours to climb up slowly. As for what will happen in a few generations, we will have become bones by then, do we still have to worry?"
At this point, a smirk flashed across Liu Yi's face: "Besides, didn't you just say that you would give me whatever the Xie family gave Liu Yu? We can still get married."
Wang Chen was slightly startled: "Don't you have a wife?"
Liu Yi's eyes flashed coldly: "Wu Qi can kill his wife to beg the general, but my yellow-faced woman should divorce her as proof of my loyalty."
