The Three Kingdoms: Zhaolie, the strategist, and the rise of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 14 Something big is going to happen in Xuzhou (Please read on!)

The girl followed Li Yi. Before Li Yi could speak, the girl spoke first:
"Can I, can I come with you?"

She was testing, but also inviting.

Li Yi nodded and turned to go into the house.

He didn't have much sense of immorality because that was the way the times were.

Now that you are here, adapt well.

If you think Li Yi will say, you are still young, wait until you grow up to say this, then you are wrong.

It would just seem stupid and disingenuous.

To put it bluntly, in the feudal era, these women were nothing more than the personal property of the landlords.

It can even be resold to others at will like a commodity.

Li Yi didn't even need to ask her name.

The lotus steps move lightly, and the red candles are in the mist.

There was a night of sparse rain and strong wind. Do you know, do you know, the green should be lush and the red should be thin.

"..."

……

The next day, early morning.

Li Yi opened his sleepy eyes and sat up in bed.

Although he had been busy for a long time last night and was still a little tired, he did not have the habit of sleeping in.

You have to get up at a certain time, because once you wake up it is impossible to go back to sleep.

As soon as he stood up, he saw a girl holding a copper plate, kneeling in front of the bed, and said:

"Are you awake, sir? Please rinse your mouth first."

Li Yi didn't expect that this girl could wake up earlier than him. He felt bitter in his mouth and his throat was dry, so he took the copper plate and drank a few sips.

At this moment, the girl suddenly bowed her head and said:

"I guess you don't know my name yet, sir. My name is Tao Hong."

"It was an honor to serve you last night, sir."

Normally speaking, the girl cannot speak up unless the host asks.

But this girl named Taohong took the initiative to introduce herself, and it seemed that she also wanted a long-term meal ticket.

For Li Yi, who has adapted to the local customs and can be considered a half-feudal person, he certainly does not need to be responsible for what happened last night.

If he doesn't agree, the girl will suffer a miserable fate.

This is the cruelty of the feudal era.

The fact that she dared to bring it up shows that she herself is aware of this problem.

If Li Yi agreed, he could take the girl in as a maid, a maid to fill the room...

There is not even an official status.

But even the qualification of being a maid was something that many girls in ancient times could not obtain.

Those with less luck would be sold directly to brothels, and those with even worse luck would be treated as playthings by wealthy families.

By the way, if you are in a good mood, you may even ask the servants to line up.

If your luck is even worse, your food will be eaten by the hungry people as food.

It sounds scary, but that's the reality.

Of course, this third type is purely a characteristic of troubled times.

This shows that she is still very strong at heart, and she chose the morning to introduce herself.

It means she is more careful in doing things.

It’s okay to keep such a brave and careful woman around.

After all, as the saying goes, I'm not afraid of opponents like tigers, but I'm afraid of teammates like pigs.

Throughout history, how many heroes have been betrayed by the servants around them.

It is still beneficial to choose a smart servant to be around.

Besides, this peach blossom was probably arranged by Lao Liu, so there was really no need to reject someone's kindness.

"…Please change my clothes for me."

Li Yi stood up and stretched out his hands.

Taohong was smart and immediately understood the hidden meaning in Li Yi's words.

He quickly stood up and nodded rapidly.

"Yes, yes, I'll change your clothes right away."

Taohong was overjoyed and carefully helped Li Yi put on his clothes.

She gently smoothed out every edge of the clothes, and scholars were particular about how they dressed appropriately.

Taohong said as she fixed her clothes:
"Just now the envoy sent someone to ask you to go to the lobby when you wake up."

"...Got it." Li Yi replied indifferently. In fact, when he saw Lao Liu's hesitant look last night, he had already guessed that something important must have happened today.

As for what it was, Li Yi had already guessed it in his mind, but he was not completely sure.

"Sir, please have breakfast before leaving."

"No need."

Li Yi is a workaholic and is very career-oriented. He got dressed and went straight out the door.

Outside the gate, he ran into Chen Dao head-on.

Chen Dao thought that he had been waiting here for a long time, so when he saw Li Yi coming out, he hurried forward to greet him.

"Sir, are you awake?"

"Please get in the car."

Just like last time, Chen Dao prepared a carriage to pick up Li Yi.

It should be Lao Liu who sent him here.

"...Shan, I'm sorry to have kept General Chen waiting for a long time."

"No, no, Chen just arrived as well."

Li Yi took a quick glance at the group of people. They didn't look like they had just arrived. It was obvious that they had been waiting for a long time.

It seems that Chen Dao has a high EQ.

"…Thank you for your help."

Li Yi thanked him and got on the carriage.

"Who are the people who came to the synagogue today?"

In the car, Li Yi suddenly asked.

Chen Dao turned around and replied:

"...Today, many people have come, including all the civil and military officials."

After a slight pause, he added, "Oh, by the way, Chen Biejia is here too."

"Chen Beijia?"

Li Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, "But they are from the Yingchuan Chen family, a prominent family in Yuzhou, Chen Qun and Chen Changwen?"

Chen Dao smiled and said:

"Sir, you are very knowledgeable. It is Chen Beijia."

"My lord and his father Chen Ji are old acquaintances, so when he was in Xiaopei, he recruited his son Chen Qun as his deputy."

"This gentleman is a man of great talent. My Lord has praised him many times for his elegance and reputation."

Li Yi's eyes narrowed slightly. Chen Qun could be considered a talent that Lao Liu had missed in the early days.

In fact, Lao Liu missed a lot of top talents in the early stage, such as Chen Qun, Chen Deng, Tian Yu, Qian Zhao and so on.

On the one hand, it also shows that Lao Liu is indeed very capable in judging people.

It is worth mentioning that many of the talents that Lao Liu missed were people he and he had a mutual admiration for.

For example, Chen Deng praised Liu Bei for his strategy of being a king and a hegemon, and Liu Bei also praised Chen Deng for his ability in both civil and military affairs and his extraordinary courage and ambition.

So many people say that the reason why Chen Qun and Chen Deng did not follow Liu Bei was that they simply looked down on him. This is of course nonsense.

Whether it was Chen Qun or Chen Deng, they all admired Liu Bei very much, and Liu Bei also liked them very much.

The reason why they were unable to get together was that while Chen Qun and Chen Deng admired Liu Bei, they were also constrained by their families.

Chen Deng was from a prominent family in Xuzhou, and he wanted to safeguard the interests of Xuzhou.

The Chen Qun is from a prominent family in Yuzhou. You, Old Liu, are going to play dungeons in Xuzhou. There is no way I can give up my family business in Yuzhou and start a business with you.

This is the real reason why the two broke up.

"By the way, sir, the lord has called a meeting of civil and military officials today. I think there is something important going on."

"Can you guess what it is, sir?"

Chen Dao was sent to pick up Li Yi early this morning, and he was a little confused.

Li Yi looked out the window, heading towards the east.

"Yesterday an envoy from Xuzhou arrived."

"The envoy from Xuzhou?"

"……Um."

Li Yi nodded, a slight smile on his face.

"Something big is going to happen in Xuzhou."
