March of the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an (AD 219)
Xichuan is located on Mount Emei, more than 300 miles southwest of Chengdu.
In a village built against a mountain, a young man was sitting on a bearskin mat in the center of the main hall.
This young man has a face as beautiful as a crown jewel, and is handsome and handsome, but the most eye-catching thing is his slender arms.
The fair complexion was inherited from his mother, Mrs. Gan, and the long arms came from his father, Liu Bei, who was fighting in Hanzhong.
The young man is the famous Gundam pilot in history, the second male lead in the Battle of Changbanpo (small pendant), the recipient of the shocking "Legacy"..., the creator of the idiom "I am happy to miss Shu", and the evaluation and support of future generations. The mud on the wall is between brothers - Comrade Liu Chan and Liu Adou.
Fortunately, apart from driving the "Zhao Yun Gundam", other incidents are far from happening.
This soul from later generations still has the opportunity to swerve in the mud of life and avoid the original historical trajectory.
"Tsk tsk, good fellow, it's quite the same thing as the 'Loyalty Hall'. You also have a hundred and eight generals in your village?" Liu Chan looked at the rough and shabby plaque on the hall and smiled with amusement.
He was in the process of changing his voice, and his voice sounded very ridiculous.
But the strong man kneeling in front of him did not dare to raise his head, let alone smile.
Hearing this, the man smiled bitterly and said, "Young Master is joking. I am the only one who knows martial arts in the village. There are not a hundred or eight generals here."
He was almost in tears.
With so many generals, how could the stronghold be breached so quickly!
I don’t know which evil spirit he offended, but this young master led hundreds of soldiers to attack early in the morning.
The sentries set up in the mountains and forests were touched down without even passing a fart.
The cry of suicide rang out, and it took less than half an hour for the village gate to be broken down...
Needless to say, the one who can lead such elite troops in this area must be under the command of General Liu Bei of the Left.
But didn’t he lead the troops to capture Hanzhong?
After more than two years of fierce fighting, it was not enough to mobilize troops and transport food to the front line year after year. Where did this group of people appear from?
"Huh?"
Liu Chan's soft voice did not frighten the man to death.
I saw him immediately kowtow as if he was pounding garlic: "Young master, I know that every word of this villain is true, and I will never dare to tell a lie!"
He couldn't help but not be afraid. In a bandit village like theirs, even if the young men in front of him slaughtered all the old, weak, women and children in the village, the most they would leave in this world would be "In a certain month and year, he went into the mountain and suppressed the bandits with merit."
Have they ever been seen by an official as a human being?
Liu Chan's eyes returned to the man in front of him, and he looked at him without saying a word for a long time.
The silence in Zhongyi Hall was eerie for a moment.
It was a chilly spring day, but the man's back was gradually wet with sweat.
But he didn't know that Liu Chan's silence at this time was not due to dissatisfaction.
Instead, a line of small words suddenly appeared in the field of vision:
Hu Li (bandit leader): Current favorability is "minus 20".
This kind of favorability reminder is not unusual for Liu Chan. Every time someone else's favorability reaches a certain value, Liu Chan will get a corresponding improvement in his abilities.
This is his biggest reliance to survive in troubled times and prepare to hear from the princes, and it is also one of the biggest secrets.
What surprised him was that not just any cat or dog could trigger the favorability prompt.
But he couldn't remember which figure in the history of the Three Kingdoms was named Hu Li.
After a while, Liu Chan shook his head and gave up thinking.
His knowledge of the history of the Three Kingdoms is only to the extent of having watched the 1994 version of the Three Kingdoms TV series, plus some history lessons and short videos.
Besides, some skilled craftsmen, business elites and the like can also trigger favorability prompts. Perhaps this person is also outstanding in some aspects.
Originally I didn't plan to tell him too much, but since it can trigger the favorability prompt... then the situation is different.
In order to achieve his goal, even if a wild goose flew in front of him, Liu Chan would still have to shed some hair.
Just when Hu Li couldn't withstand the huge psychological pressure and was about to step forward and hug his thighs, cry and beg for mercy, Liu Chan finally spoke again.
"Since you have martial arts skills, why are you a thief in this mountain?"
This man actually has some tricks up his sleeve, but he doesn't look like a layman who only relies on brute force.
Hu Li's nerves, which had been tense for a long time, relaxed when he heard this. Liu Chan asked this question, and his words seemed to be soliciting. Then they would have a chance to survive.
He quickly told the story of his group of bandits in detail.
It turns out that his father was a general under Ma Xiang, the Yizhou Yellow Turban, who claimed to be the "Emperor" thirty years ago.
And the man who dared to call himself the emperor also had a very proud record with his army.
The Yellow Turbans, which swept across the state, were defeated in just a few days by Jia Long, who was engaged in Yizhou at that time and led only a few hundred troops.
This is not to say that the combat power is not high, at least they can be regarded as the best rabble...
It's simply terrible.
Later, the remnants of Ma Xiang were either wiped out by Liu Yan who took control of Yizhou, or they hid in the mountains and became kings.
Hu Li's father took his troops and fled into Mount Emei.
He is in his early twenties and has been in the village since he was born. After his father died during a robbery a few years ago, he became the leader of the village.
Unexpectedly, Liu Chan defeated the stronghold with just a few hundred men, and it only took half an hour.
It can be considered that the "famous reputation" left by the Yizhou Yellow Turbans has not been lost...
After saying that, Hu Li raised his head with a smile on his face: "Sir, Mr. Xuande has a reputation for benevolence and virtue, and he is dedicated to helping the Han Dynasty, which is admirable.
"Young men often have the desire to serve their country. Now I am willing to serve as a pawn under Duke Xuande. I hope you will take me in with kindness."
Liu Chan glanced at the motionless "minus 20" favorability score and smiled without saying a word.
This kid's talk is all over the place, and his calculations are rattling in his mind, but his favorability is not deceptive.
If he just agreed, the other party's favorability would not increase much.
Moreover, this kid is talking about joining Lao Liu's command. Is he really going to get what he wants and go all the way to perform voluntary labor?
Liu Chan deliberately darkened his face and sneered: "Haha, you always have the heart to serve the country? Then when we entered Sichuan, why didn't we come to join him?"
"Ah..." Hu Li's smiling face immediately froze.
"In the autumn of the 22nd year of Jian'an, who took advantage of the lack of defense in Nan'an County and led the crowd to loot the county?"
"..."
"Who was it that repeatedly set up ambushes on the important waterway in the northeast of Mount Emei and robbed passing caravans? Is this how you serve your country?"
Liu Chan was still talking one after another, but Hu Li was already heartbroken.
This young master who came with the troops did not just fight randomly, he obviously came well prepared.
"Young Master!" Hu Li knocked his head heavily on the ground, "The villain has realized his crime."
Speaking of this, he no longer expected to survive, but he still begged with a glimmer of hope.
"The villain has done many evil things, and it is not a pity to die. But there are still many women and children in the village, and they have never done any evil. I just ask you to be merciful and spare their lives!"
Liu Chan stood up and walked slowly to Hu Li.
Those kicks seemed to step on his heart.
Then a cold voice came from above his head: "You have committed countless crimes since the Yellow Turbans, and your intention to rebel is obvious. According to the "Shu Ke", you must be executed, the Yi tribe."
Be beheaded, the three Yi tribes...
At this point, the last glimmer of hope in his heart was ruthlessly extinguished by Liu Chan.
Hu Li's vision went dark, and his head buzzed as if he had been hit by a sledgehammer.
Only the emotions of sadness and resentment lingered in my heart.
There was a famine at that time, and the government was still oppressive. Dad didn't want his family to starve to death, so he joined the Yellow Turban.
Dreaming about the Taiping Sutra that they have heard of, it can really bring peace to the world.
Unexpectedly, the "Emperor" Ma Xiang would indulge in debauchery as soon as he gained power, and he would not be less generous than the worst princes.
Later, when the army was defeated, they hid in the deep mountains and forests, just to find a way to survive.
After suffering from hunger and cold for so many years, he worked hard to cultivate land in the mountains, fish and hunt, and collect wild fruits to eat. Finally, his life became better.
My son was just 4 years old. I wanted to save some money and send him to the city to find a serious identity so that he would no longer have to be a bandit. Unexpectedly...
He just wants to live with these people, and live a decent life if possible.
Isn't this world so big that it can't accommodate them?
Hu Li lowered his head, his expression gradually turned ferocious and crazy, and his body tensed up.
At the same time, favorable impression prompts began to flood the screen below Liu Chan's field of vision.
Hu Li's favorable impression -10, -10, -10...
The heat is almost done.
Liu Chan suddenly said: "But..."
As soon as these two words came out, the goodwill that had been falling like a dive was immediately locked.
Hu Li suddenly raised his head and looked over, his ferocious expression turning into confusion, with a hint of hope mixed with disbelief.
Liu Chan's stern face softened: "Losing the county town, but not burning, killing, raping, and plundering the poor people. Looting the business roads, but not harming ordinary passers-by. Why is this?"
Hu Li was silent for a while and sighed: "Sigh... They are all miserable people, so why should I embarrass them?"
Suddenly, a pair of hands stretched out in front of Hu Li's eyes and helped him up.
Although these hands are young and white, they are unusually strong, and they are full of calluses. They are completely unlike those of ordinary rich men.
"The principles of the law are nothing more than human feelings. Since your heart is still intact, it is not impossible to spare you."
Hu Li's lips were trembling and he was speechless for a moment.
The ups and downs in life came so suddenly that his heart couldn't bear it.
"Follow me, as long as you can achieve the word 'loyalty' in this class, I will let you live like a human being from now on, how about that?"
Hu Li in front of him was stunned again.
It took a long time to regain consciousness, and suddenly he knelt on the ground again with a pop.
The unshaven man could not help crying loudly at this time.
This young master did not promise him any high-ranking official or generous salary, nor did he mention any gold or silver rewards.
But living like a human being was a dream that Hu Li had been dreaming of for generations.
"Young Master will not abandon you now. The villain Hu Li is willing to lead everyone to follow you to the death. If you have second thoughts, heaven and earth will not tolerate it!" Hu Li wiped his tears and said, "You still don't know your surname?"
Hu Li's favorability +10, +10, +10...
Liu Chan looked at the prompt on the screen below his field of vision and smiled with satisfaction.
"My name is Liu Chan."
