Chapter 4 Zhang Fei is here

After listening to what Zhang San said, Li Qi calmly stood up from the bamboo chair and said: "Counting the days, it's time for him to come! Come on, come with me to go out and have a look."

Zhang San looked confused, you are a cultural person, why did you speak like a blind man telling fortunes?

When he arrived at the hall, he was eight feet long, with a leopard head and eyes, a swallow's jaw and a tiger's beard. Isn't he the legendary Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide?

Zhang Fei spoke with a voice as loud as thunder and as powerful as a galloping horse: "Are you the one in charge? Can you lend me some food?"

Li Qi: "Yes."

Zhang Fei: "..."

How on earth do you want me, Lao Zhang, to respond?

All plans have been disrupted!

You can't say that someone was generous enough to borrow food, so he was killed by you, right?

If this spreads out, it will insult the emperor's uncle's reputation for benevolence!

However, although Zhang Fei is fierce, he has a sharp mind. He thought about the remote ancient city, where no one might recognize him, so he loudly said: "I want to lend you a thousand dendrobium of grain! I will give you a written certificate."

Li Qi: "..."

There are only four to five hundred dendrobium in the granary. You want to borrow a thousand dendrobium?

Are you trying to say that you are being reasonable by establishing evidence?

Li Qi smiled and said: "Could the person who came here be Uncle Liu Huang's brother, General Zhang Fei?"

Zhang Fei was stunned, damn, someone recognized him?

Zhang Fei: "How do you know my name?"

Li Qi: "The general is loyal, brave and invincible in the world. Even Lu Bu dare not confront the general head-on. Who in the world doesn't know this?"

When Zhang Fei heard this, he almost laughed out loud: Finally, someone who knows the truth thinks that I am stronger than Lu Bu!

Li Qi continued: "Moreover, Emperor Liu's benevolence has spread all over the world, and we, the common people, admire him greatly. So General Zhang wants to borrow grain, and I will definitely borrow it without saying a word. But there is really no thousand dendrobium of grain to borrow in the city.

If you don’t believe me, I’ll take you to see it.”

Zhang Fei is very embarrassed. If it is reasonable to say, it is not the uncle who borrows money in this era. People are talking about this, what else do you want?

Zhang Fei said: "How much food do you have here? I'll just borrow some."

Li Qidao: "There are less than 500 dendrobiums of food in the warehouse, and we have to deal with the imperial court's recruitment. At most, we can only lend 100 dendrobiums."

Zhang Feixin said that a hundred dendrobiums would be enough. There were only about ten people around him, and one hundred dendrobiums would last him a long time.

Just as he was about to speak, Li Qi said again: "Actually, there is a better way."

"Appreciate further details?"

"I have always admired the reputation of the general. I am lucky enough to meet you today. How can I bear to see the general wandering around and homeless? If he is not abandoned, the general can live in the ancient city and recuperate while asking people to find out about the emperor's uncle.

news."

"How did this happen?" Zhang Fei is a decent man. Hearing what Li Qi said, he couldn't help but feel ashamed of his original plan.

"My admiration for the general is like the water of the Yellow River, flowing endlessly. If the general looks out, he is looking down on me. Come, prepare wine, I want to wash my hands with General Zhang." Li Qi said.

Hearing the word "wine", Zhang Fei couldn't help but suck the corner of his mouth, and then cupped his hands and said: "In this case, it's better for Fei to be respectful than to obey!"

There is no conflict between temporarily taking Zhang Fei in and Li Qi not planning to take refuge with Liu Bei. When the time comes, Li Qi will naturally inform Zhang Fei about Liu Bei's whereabouts. With Zhang Fei's impatience, he will definitely not wait in the ancient city.

Then Li Qi can take advantage of these days to befriend Zhang Fei and leave a way out for himself.

If one day Liu Bei is able to secure his position and he encounters difficulties, he can go and seek refuge.

Zhang Fei respects gentlemen but does not care about villains. Li Qi knows this. But it doesn't matter, he is a cultural person!

Li Qi raised the wine bowl and said: "You can laugh a few times in your life, but you have to get drunk when you meet in a drinking competition. General Zhang, I'll do it!"

Zhang Fei was stunned, what a literary talent! He couldn't help blurting out: "Me too!"

After saying that, he drank all the wine in the bowl.

Li Qi personally poured wine for Zhang Fei and said: "Three cups lead to the road, and a fight leads to nature. General Zhang, I've done it again!"

Zhang Fei: "Me too!"

Li Qi: "Singing to wine, what's life like? It's like morning dew. It's going to be a lot of hardship in the past. Come on, General Zhang, it's done again!"

Zhang Fei: "Me too!"



The next morning, Li Qi patted his head and wondered if he had made any mistakes.

It seems that Boss Cao’s poem has been revealed in advance!

If this poem is circulated by unintentional people, then in the future they will only be able to claim that Cao Cao is a plagiarist, and they cannot admit that they came from time-to-time!

After changing clothes and going out, he saw Zhang Fei striding through the door: "County Magistrate, County Magistrate, you missed something big because of your drinking yesterday!"

Li Qi asked in shock: "What's the matter?"

Zhang Fei said: "I forgot to ask the county magistrate Gao's name!"

Li Qi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "My surname is Li, my given name is Qi, and my given name is Zhenghong."

Zhang Fei said: "Okay, from now on I will call you Zhenghong, and you can just call me Yide. This will save you a county magistrate and a general, and make you appear more senior!"

Li Qi secretly sighed that Zhang Fei was really a cheerful person, otherwise he wouldn't have given Liu Bei's property in just a few words.

While the two were chatting, someone suddenly came to report in a hurry: "Brother Zhenghong, something serious has happened!"

Li Qi looked at him and saw that the person coming was none other than the outlaw Zhang San, and asked, "Why are you so alarmed?"

Zhang Sandao: "When I was guarding the city gates these days, I found that the number of people entering the city every day far exceeded the number of people leaving the city. I suspect that there is someone sneaking into the city!"

Li Qi smiled and said: "You observe carefully, good job! But don't jump to random conclusions."

Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao asked: "What is Zhenghong's advice?"

Li Qidao: "If the army wants to attack the ancient city, with our strength, there is no need to send out soldiers. Even if we send out soldiers, it will only be one or two at most. How can they come in batches or two? Is our ancient city so difficult to attack?"

Pei Yuanshao said: "But the population is increasing for no reason. I think it is necessary to check it out."

Li Qi nodded and said: "Then I will entrust Brother Pei to investigate carefully. If the city's policy of tax exemption and equal land sharing has attracted outsiders, be sure to register them carefully, resettle them properly, and send a troop of soldiers to help them open up wasteland."

Zhang Fei asked curiously: "You still send soldiers to help farmers open up wasteland?"

In Zhang Fei's traditional understanding, if soldiers do not steal the fruits of farmers' labor, it means they are running the army well and their merits are immeasurable.

Li Qidao: "The military and civilians are all close!"

Pei Yuanshao said awkwardly: "I can't write!"

Li Qi felt that this was also a problem, so he found a literate person to be Pei Yuanshao's secretary, and ordered his master to issue an announcement. Anyone who was literate in the city should come to the county government office to report.

Later, Li Qi will assign these slightly educated people to corresponding jobs for the county government to use.

Zhang Fei learned about Li Qi's governance policies and was sincerely impressed: "Zhenghong is a talented person. If I have the opportunity, I will definitely introduce Zhenghong to my eldest brother, but it's a pity..."

Li Qi comforted him and said: "The emperor's uncle is kind and virtuous. I believe you will meet again one day."

Zhang Fei gritted his teeth and said: "I hate Guan Yu for betraying his trust and taking refuge with Cao Cao. When we see you on the battlefield one day, I will kill him to vent my hatred!"

Li Qidao: "Yide's words are wrong. General Guan is so loyal that he will never renege on his oath. I expected that General Guan surrendered to Cao Ying because of the two ladies. Think about it, if General Guan died heroically, then what would happen if General Guan died heroically?"

If the two ladies fall into the hands of Cao Cao, what will be the consequences?"

Zhang Fei was stunned, Thief Cao is such a good wife!

But what does it matter?
