Chapter 434: Xiji
When Dian Wei opened his eyes again, he was already in the Chang'an Army tent. He was beaten unconscious, and when Chen Gong found out, Luo Jiu ordered his men to carry him back.
As soon as he woke up, he heard Cai Wenji say, "The wounds on your face are all superficial. The bleeding areas have been medicated. The bruises will probably disappear in three to five days. I'll give you a bottle of medicinal wine to apply on yourself."
Dian Wei was about to speak when he heard Luo Jiu say with a smile: "If you are too lazy to wipe it, you can drink it."
Dian Wei looked in the direction of the voice and saw Luo Jiu writing at the desk.
She said, "This is a letter of recommendation to Zhang Miao. If you want to realize your ambition, give it to him. If you think I am meddling, you can throw it away."
Dian Wei stood up awkwardly, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Fu Bao opened the curtain and came in, looking Dian Wei up and down as he stood there stupidly, "Hey, you're awake? Let's go, your horses are all fed."
Dian Wei took the double halberds and the letter, lowered his head and followed Fu Bao out the door.
Watching Dian Wei mount his horse, Jia Xu hurriedly asked Fu Bao in a low voice: "General, can you shoot an arrow a hundred steps away?"
Fu Bao said confidently: "Two hundred steps is no problem."
Jia Xu turned around and said to Luo Jiu, "It's not too late for the mistress to change her mind. He is still within a hundred steps. You can kill him with one arrow."
Luo Jiu shook his head. "I am sure that after this incident, he will not become our enemy. It's just a pity..."
Unfortunately, I can’t use it.
Luo Jiu sighed and turned around. Suddenly, he heard the clatter of horse hooves behind him. Dian Wei, holding the letter written by Luo Jiu in his hand, jumped off his horse, knelt down with a plop, and cried out with tears streaming down his face, "My lord!"
Chen Gong coughed lightly and said, "We call her mistress here."
Dian Wei immediately changed his words and said, "Madam! Dian Wei is here to surrender sincerely, please accept me."
After saying that, he hugged Luo Jiu's legs and burst into tears. His head was now swollen. After reading Luo Jiu's letter, he cried with snot and tears. His tears mixed with the ointment and oil on his face, and his face looked like an oil painting.
Luo Jiu accepted a powerful general early in the morning, and everyone was very happy.
Chen Gong took Dian Wei to settle down. Luo Jiu returned to the tent and changed clothes hurriedly. Dian Wei rubbed a lot of tears and snot on her clothes.
Cai Wenji saw it and said hurriedly, "Your clothes are all dirty. Take them off and I will wash them for you."
Luo Jiu hurriedly said: "No, you don't have to do this job, there is... there is a washing machine to do it."
"Xi Ji?"
"Yes." It was the washing machine. Luo Jiu and the others threw all their clothes into the fully automatic washing machine in the space.
Luo Jiu added: "If you are not busy today, come with me to Chenliu later. Dian Wei is Zhang Miao's subordinate after all, I want to go to Zhang Miao in person to greet him and give him some gifts as an apology."
Cai Wenji immediately presented a golden sheep and said, "This is my dowry when I got married, and it is worth a thousand gold. Zhang Taishou was born in the year of the sheep, and if you give this to him, he will definitely like it."
Luo Jiu was stunned for a moment, "How can I take your things for free? Well, I'll ask Zhong Zhubu to give you 1,000 taels of gold."
Cai Wenji said hurriedly, "No, I had already disposed of all my private property the day I came to the military camp, and I got a total of more than 50,000 taels of silver and more than 3,000 taels of gold. There are also some gold and silver ornaments that I can't sell for the time being, and I have packed them in boxes and sealed them for future use.
I think, Madam, since it will cost a lot to raise an army, Wen Ji is willing to give everything she has to help you achieve your great cause."
Luo Jiu was surprised and sighed. She had heard that there were a lot of venture capitalists during this period. When Cao Cao started his army, he also found a big investor to get the first round of financing. Most of the princes during this period had huge financial support from the gentry. However, she didn't expect that someone had already offered funds before she even thought about it.
Luo Jiu held Cai Wenji's hand and said, "We are not short of money for the time being, so you can keep this money. But I promise you that the great cause will be accomplished, and I will not let you down for your help today."
Cai Wenji accompanied Luo Jiu to visit Chenliu Governor Zhang Miao, who had no big opinion on the matter. After all, Dian Wei was only a sergeant in his place, and Luo Jiu came to explain in person and gave him a valuable gift, so he naturally had nothing to say. The two sides had a pleasant meal and reached a consensus on Dian Wei's transfer.
When Dian Wei heard that a golden ram was used to redeem him, he stamped his feet in pain and shouted, "How much money does Zhang Miao only give me a month? If I had known that I would go back by myself, I would have resigned first and come back later, and saved this money."
Everyone laughed but said nothing. The Chang'an Army's garrison has become more and more lively in the past two days. Now there are more generals than soldiers. Feng Qi, Fu Bao, and Dian Wei each lead a thousand soldiers to compete in training.
On the second day after Dian Wei arrived, Cai Yong also arrived.
In fact, Cai Yong did not join voluntarily, mainly because his daughter had already joined the anti-Dong forces, and he was still under Dong Zhuo's nose, which was extremely dangerous. Dong Zhuo was not like other princes. Some people did not care, but Dong Zhuo could not. Thinking of Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance to fight against Dong, Dong Zhuo wiped out Yuan Shao's uncle's family. Cai Yong thought twice, quickly packed up his bag and ran back.
The task given to him by Luo Jiu was to work with Cai Wenji on clerical work, to first get the Chang'an Monthly done, and then the other things could be dealt with later.
Everyone seemed to be working on a new project. In the early stages of entrepreneurship, everyone was full of passion. The three thousand surrendered soldiers became energetic in just a few days. The Cai family father and daughter used their own reputation and family influence to run around and raised tens of thousands of military pay for the Chang'an Army.
Luo Jiu discussed with Chen Gong and Jia Xu, "I think it's time for us to find a place to stay."
The three of them were analyzing and discussing the map when they heard a commotion outside.
Luo Jiu asked hurriedly: "What happened?"
The soldier said, "Madam, another general has come to challenge us. Commander Cheng has sent someone to inform General Fu."
The three of them were all stunned when they heard this. Chen Gong said, "With Dian Wei as an example, who else can't see that the abusive letter is a trick? Why would someone come here? Is this person stupid?"
Luo Jiu frowned, and names flashed through his mind.
Jia Xu asked again: "Did the visitor introduce himself?"
The soldier replied: "He said his name was Xu Chu."
"Xu Chu?" Chen Gong said, "I have heard of him. He led the local youths in Qiao County to resist the bandits. How did the mistress know him?"
Luo Jiu chuckled, "I heard from others that this man is good at martial arts. With a little experience, he may become a capable general."
Jia Xu said pessimistically: "I think it's difficult. Judging from this matter, he is more stupid than Dian Wei."
Luo Jiu couldn't help but smile and shook his head, Xu Zhu was famous for being as strong as a tiger, but he was indeed not smart, or was famously stupid, so people nicknamed him "Tiger Crazy".
Tiger Chi is a more polite name. If he were in a modern rural area, he would probably be called: Xu Dashazi.
Luo Jiu dropped the things in his hands and said, "Let's go and take a look."
Fu Bao took his soldiers to the mountains nearby for training. At this moment, Dian Wei arrived first.
Only three days had passed, and although the swelling on Dian Wei's face had subsided, it was still covered in blues and purples, as if it had been painted.
Seeing Xu Zhu cursing just like he did that day, Dian Wei couldn't help but kindly remind him, "If you're here to seek refuge, be honest, or leave quickly, or you'll suffer."
How could Xu Zhu listen to such nice words? He came here with a lot of anger in his heart. As soon as he arrived, someone gave him a lesson. Without saying a word, he picked up the Fire Phoenix Knife and chopped at him.
