Double penetration: This Three Kingdoms has dragon energy

Chapter 62: Subjugating Dian Wei
After leaving the prefectural government, Xizhong quickly calmed down.

Thinking back to the scene just now, a chill suddenly rose in my heart.

However, he realized that he was too impulsive just now and almost fell into Zhang Miao's trap.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Miao has no ability in commanding the army and pacifying the people, but he is quite good at plotting and scheming!
Of course, the main reason why he almost fell into the trap was not that Zhang Miao was more intelligent than him.

But he cared too much about Ji Qiu.

As he spent some time with Ji Qiu, he increasingly realized that Ji Qiu was definitely a wise leader with great potential.

Following him will not only allow you to display what you have learned throughout your life, but also give you a very bright future.

This made Ji Qiu's status in his heart higher and higher, and he would not tolerate any insult from others.

That's why when he saw Ji Qiu being humiliated, he was so excited that he almost lost his mind.

This can only be described as a coincidence.

By accident, Zhang Miao hit Xizhong right on the weak spot!
Xi Zhong couldn't help but say with guilt, "I lost my composure just now and nearly fell prey to Zhang Miao's scheme. I truly feel guilty for the trust you placed in me! Please punish me!"

"Zhicai, why do you say that? Don't I know that you are angry because of me?
What crime have you committed? The guilty one is Zhang Miao. He is a man without moral integrity and talent, and his methods are despicable. He is truly despicable!
Zhicai, don't worry, I won't let him go easily. I must deal with him properly, so that I can vent my anger!" Ji Qiu hurriedly comforted him.

In fact, it was Zhang Miao who humiliated him, and Xizhong was angry on his behalf. Logically, he should have been angrier than Xizhong.

But in fact, he didn't feel that angry.

This is the difference between modern and late Han environmental concepts.

Modern people tend to value interests more. As for dignity, face and the like, they are all subordinate to interests.

For the sake of money, being shameless is the norm.

It was different at the end of the Han Dynasty. People here valued dignity more, and sacrificing one's life for justice was the choice of most people when faced with insults.

This is why even a wise man like Xi Zhong almost lost his mind when faced with Zhang Miao's humiliation of Ji Qiu.

Although Ji Qiu was not particularly angry, he was still angry.

After all, no one wants to be insulted for no reason.

However, he was able to remain rational and knew that under the circumstances at the time, if he made a big fuss, he would definitely suffer immediate losses, so he temporarily backed down.

But the feud has been formed, and there will be a time to settle the score in the future!
"But from another perspective, this is also a good thing. Now we can directly recruit Dian Wei!" Ji Qiu chuckled.

Because Dian Wei was Zhang Miao's personal soldier, if Ji Qiu wanted to recruit Dian Wei, he had to say hello to Zhang Miao.

This is the unspoken rule of the Dragon Qi Three Kingdoms world.

But now that Zhang Miao had humiliated him, he could ignore this unspoken rule and contact Dian Wei directly!

"What kind of ability does Dian Wei have that our lord is still obsessed with him?" Xi Zhong asked in surprise.

Ji Qiu was able to remain calm in the face of Zhang Miao's humiliation, which made Xi Zhong admire him even more.

He deeply felt that joining Ji Qiu was the wisest decision he had made in his life.

However, at this moment, Ji Qiu suddenly thought of the disappearance of the obstacles to Dian Wei's recruitment, which really made him a little overwhelmed.

Dian Wei is a little-known person. What abilities does he have that make Ji Qiu pay so much attention to him?
For a moment, Xizhong felt a little jealous.

Ji Qiu laughed heartily and said, "This Dian Wei is certainly extraordinary! As for what makes him so extraordinary, Zhicai will naturally know once I recruit him!"

"In that case, why not let me handle this matter? My lord, just wait for good news!" Xi Zhong thought for a while and said.

Dian Wei was just a sergeant in Zhang Miao's personal army, which was equivalent to a garrison commander commanding fifty soldiers in the normal official army.

There is really no need for Ji Qiu to show up in person to recruit such people.

This will not only make Dian Wei flattered, but will also cause dissatisfaction among Ji Qiu's subordinates.

Previously, Ji Qiu had to come in person because he wanted to greet Zhang Miao.

Now that they have to bypass Zhang Miao, there is no need for Ji Qiu to go in person.

At the same time, Xizhong was feeling both uneasy and angry. He was uneasy because, as a man of intelligence who should always remain calm, he had impulsively almost led Ji Qiu into trouble.

It's really a big loss of points.

Wo Fu was still filled with anger towards Zhang Miao.

So he urgently needs to do something now.

You should demonstrate your abilities to give yourself extra points.

He wanted to hurt Zhang Miao again to vent his anger!
It just so happens that recruiting Dian Wei meets both conditions.

Of course it was an active proposal!
"Okay, since Zhicai is willing to make the trip, I'll leave this matter to you! I'm in the camp, waiting for your good news!" Ji Qiu glanced at Xi Zhong, saw what he was thinking, and chuckled.

Afterwards, the two men left the city and returned to the military camp.

A day later, Ji Qiu met Dian Wei in the military tent.

Dian Wei was a strong man who was eight feet tall and had a sturdy appearance.

His sturdy arms are longer than the average person's waist, like an iron tower, and he is naturally intimidating.

He had no hair and a short beard.

The high brow bones, short beard and bald head give off a "beast-like" sense of oppression.

He knelt respectfully before Ji Qiu and said in a muffled voice, "I, General Dian Wei, pay my respects to you, my lord!"

"Haha, please get up quickly. I've been waiting for you so eagerly!" Ji Qiu laughed and helped Dian Wei up.

Xizhong is indeed very capable.

He said he would recruit Dian Wei for him, and he really recruited Dian Wei for him.

And it only took one day!
Of course, this also has a lot to do with Dian Wei's current low official position and his unhappiness in Zhang Miao's army.

As a celebrity official, Zhang Miao valued people's family background the most when hiring them.

Disciples from poor families have no chance of promotion under his command.

What's more, Dian Wei was not just from a poor family, he was just a chivalrous knight on the streets.

Because of his bravery, he was recruited by Zhang Miao into his personal army and served as a sergeant.

But that's about it.

It is impossible to give a higher position.

Therefore, even though Dian Wei had made many military achievements in Zhang Miao's army, he still could not be promoted.

Not only was he unable to get promoted, but because of his many meritorious services, he was even ostracized by his peers and superiors whose military achievements were not as good as his.

After all, when everyone is a loser, you perform so well, so who else should we exclude if not you?

So Dian Wei was very dissatisfied with Zhang Miao.

But even if he was dissatisfied, he could only suppress it in his heart because he had nowhere to go.

He is not alone, he has an elderly mother at home.

How could he abandon his mother and leave alone before finding a new job?
Historically, he only realized his chance to leave and defected to Cao Cao when he learned that Cao Cao and Zhang Miao had joined forces to fight against Dong Zhuo.

But things are different now.

Ji Qiu's appearance gave him the opportunity to leave Zhang Miao early.

So after Xi Zhong appeared, he decided to take his mother with him to seek refuge with Ji Qiu after just a little persuasion!

"From today on, Dian Wei will be the deputy general of my personal guard camp!" Ji Qiu said with a smile.
