The book continues from the previous chapter.

He Jin said: "General Hussars, what do you think of the Northern Army?"

Li Zhi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he understood what He Jin meant, and his heart was churning.

He did not expect that He Jin's hand could actually reach into the Northern Army.

You must know that the Northern Army is the army that protects the safety of the capital, and it is also the army that Liu Hong values ​​​​the most.

Countless pairs of eyes were staring at the Northern Army, but no one dared to interfere with the Northern Army for fear of offending Liu Hong.

Even those aristocratic families just sneaked two people in to act as spies.

He Jin actually dared to install his own forces in the Northern Army openly. Isn't he afraid of Liu Hong's blame?

Seeing Li Zhi's shocked expression, He Jin knew that he had misunderstood, and quickly explained: "It's just one battalion, not the entire Northern Army."

"Huh..." Li Zhi breathed a long sigh of relief. He had been shocked just now, thinking that He Jin's power had expanded to such an extent.

If it was just one battalion, it would be nothing. After all, the Yuan family also planted a secret agent in the Northern Army to control a battalion of soldiers and horses.

Not only the Yuan family, but Li Zhi also has his brother Guan Yu serving as a captain in the Northern Army. Everyone is the same, so it doesn't matter.

But thinking about it this way, Li Zhi felt sad for Liu Hong. The military power he clung to was slowly divided up by the ministers in Beijing, and Liu Hong didn't know anything yet.

Seeing that Li Zhi was stunned again, He Jin asked impatiently: "General Hussar, what do you think of the Northern Army's horses?"

Li Zhi was awakened by He Jin. Seeing his anxious look, Li Zhi thought to himself: "It seems that He Jin has been forced into a hurry by the aristocratic family, otherwise he would not have spent such a large amount of money to win over me."

Thinking of this, Li Zhi said to He Jin: "The soldiers and horses of the Northern Army are very majestic, and I admire them endlessly."

When He Jin heard this, he gritted his teeth and said with regret on his face: "General, I heard that the Northern Army lacks a leading colonel. I wonder if General Hussar can recommend someone?"

When Li Zhi heard this, he laughed, thought for a while, and replied: "I have a brother, whose surname is Xu, whose name is Huang, and whose courtesy name is Gongming. During the Yellow Turban War, he made great contributions.

But because he had something to arrange for him at this time, his reward was delayed.

Now that there are free positions in the Northern Army, why not put my brother in the Northern Army? What does the General think?"

He Jin heard this, closed his eyes, and said with pain on his face: "Yes!"

"Hahaha..." Hearing this, Li Zhi burst out laughing. He raised his wine cup and saluted He Jin, "General, please enjoy yourself. I would like to lend you the general's wine to toast the general. Please."

He Jin heard this, opened his eyes, looked at Li Zhi for a while, nodded expressionlessly, then raised his wine cup and responded to Li Zhi: "Please."

After saying that, He Jin drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.

After Li Zhi also finished drinking, He Jin asked impatiently: "Has General Hussar agreed to the family matter?"

Li Zhi heard the words, nodded, and said nonchalantly: "I have a bad relationship with the family. Now that I have the opportunity, I will not let it go. I wonder what the general has planned?"

After speaking, Li Zhi looked around, and then looked at He Jin with a half-smiling look.

After hearing what Li Zhi said, He Jin's eyes lit up and he quickly said what he had prepared: "This general wants to fight with those..."

At this point, He Jin felt someone tugging on his sleeve again.

He Jin knew it was his staff again, so he turned around and asked impatiently: "What do you want to do?"

The staff member didn't care about He Jin's attitude. He looked around with his eyes and whispered to He Jin: "General, be careful what you say, and be cautious of villains talking too much."

He Jin was stunned when he heard this. He was not a fool. He knew that people talked a lot and dealing with them was a family matter. He really couldn't say it in public.

Thinking of this, He Jin suddenly thought of another thing and hurriedly asked the staff member: "I think Li Zhi also knows this truth.

Then why does he dare to agree to this general to deal with the noble family in public?"

When the staff heard this, he smiled bitterly: "The reason why General Hussar did this is just to wait for a price."

"Awaiting price?" He Jin asked confused: "What does it mean? Please explain it to me quickly!"

The staff member glanced at Li Zhi and said with admiration: "General Hussar knows that today's conversation with the general will definitely reach the ears of the noble family.

At that time, the family has three options. The first is to deal with the general and the hussar general at the same time.

The second is to win over the Cavalry General, or let the Cavalry General choose neutrality.

The third is to concentrate our strength to deal with the Cavalry General who seems to be easier to deal with."

Having said this, the staff member looked at He Jin and asked with a bitter look on his face: "What would the general choose if he were from a noble family?"

He Jin heard this, thought for a while and then replied: "Of course I, the general, must first

To deal with Li Zhi, after all, it’s easy to pick the weak ones.”

After hearing He Jin's choice, the staff shook their heads: "General Hussar is not a soft persimmon. He may have been before, but since he exposed the secret method, few people dare to provoke General Hussar.

After all, if it really arouses his murderous intention, even if the hussar general massacres an aristocratic family, he will only be dismissed from office based on his merits."

At this point, the staff member sighed: "Now the Cavalry General only has the power of one blow.

But the force of this blow will cause heartache.

Therefore, as long as no one is forced into panic, no one dares to provoke the Hussars General."

He Jin heard this and said with a displeased face: "So, didn't the general give the position of captain of the Northern Army to Li Zhi for nothing?

besides……"

Having said this, He Jin glanced at Li Zhi out of the corner of his eye and said cautiously to his staff: "Since Li Zhi is so difficult to deal with, then our plan..."

The staff heard this and shook their heads: "It's free, it's free. The position of a mere school captain is not worth the effort of the general.

Could it be that the General has forgotten? The reason we invite General Hussar to come today is not for family matters, but for..."

After saying that, the aide quietly pointed upward, then made a gesture of wiping his neck, and then said nothing.

He Jin heard this, slapped his forehead, and said with sudden realization: "Why did I forget the important matter, general? As long as the matter is accomplished, what is the use of a mere aristocratic family!"

After saying that, He Jin put on a bright smile again on his face, patted his staff on the shoulder, and said appreciatively: "Thanks to your reminder, otherwise, I would have gone astray without realizing it."

When the staff heard this, they shook their heads and bowed respectfully to He: "The general is so complimentary. I am the staff of the general. Naturally, I have to plan for the general in everything and check for leaks and fill the vacancies for the general. I am

It’s just my job.”

When He Jin heard this, the smile on his face became even brighter. After nodding towards him, he turned his eyes to Li Zhi.

Seeing that He Jin was so happy, the staff shook their heads in disappointment and sighed in their hearts: "He Jin is so happy that he is not a human leader! Alas! How difficult it is to choose a bright leader!"

He Jin didn't know that his staff had already given him a big cross in their hearts and were exchanging cups with Li Zhi.

Li Zhi was also confused at this time. He didn't know why He Jin was so happy suddenly. Didn't He Jin and the staff see his trick?

After Li Zhi thought for a while, an idea flashed in his mind, and he suddenly seemed to understand something. He looked at the enthusiastic He Jin thoughtfully.

At this moment, Cao Cao came over, toasted Li Zhi with a wine cup, and whispered to Li Zhi: "My dear brother, be careful and don't fall into He Jin's scheme."

When Li Zhi heard this, he nodded silently, and then he drank with Cao Cao enthusiastically, as if nothing had happened just now.

When He Jin saw Cao Cao coming, he asked him, "Who are you?"

Cao Cao was stunned, looked at He Jin and asked in puzzlement: "The general sent an invitation to Xiaguan, how could he not recognize Xiaguan?"

Li Zhi also looked at He Jin and saw that his face was full of confusion. He knew that He Jin probably didn't know Cao Cao, so he quickly introduced him: "This is Cao Cao, Cao Mengde, who currently lives in Luoyang."

"Oh?" He Jin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he looked at Cao Cao with interest and said, "This general has heard of you. You are a big celebrity in Luoyang City. You have punished many dandies in the city. You are awesome!

Come, I will give you a toast, general."

With that said, He Jin raised the wine glass in his hand and saluted Cao Cao.

When Cao Cao saw this, he pretended to be flattered, hurriedly picked up the wine cup in his hand, and said to He Jin: "How dare you, how dare you, I am the one who respects the general. General, please!"

After saying that, he drank all the wine in his hand.

Seeing that Cao Cao was so knowledgeable, He Jin nodded with satisfaction and drank down the wine in his hand.

Later, He Jin asked Li Zhi: "General Hussar and Meng De know each other?"

"That's right." Li Zhi nodded: "When I first came to Luoyang, I had a very happy relationship with Brother Meng De.

After the Yellow Turban Incident happened, Brother Meng De and I strangled the Yellow Turban together, so they were considered colleagues.

Brother Meng De is a wise general on the battlefield and has made great achievements in marching and fighting, which has benefited me a lot."

When He Jin heard this, his eyes shone brightly, he looked at Cao Cao and said with enthusiasm: "I didn't expect Meng De to be a talented commander of troops. Come on, I will give you another drink, general."

Hearing this, Cao Cao smiled bitterly: "You are a wise man... The general of the hussars has promoted the lower officials. Compared with the generals of the hussars, the humble behavior of the lower officials is not worth mentioning."

When He Jin heard this, he waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "That's wrong. General Hussar is an unparalleled talent. Compared with General Hussar, everyone is mediocre.

Since Meng De can get a compliment from the Cavalry General, he must be something special. Meng De should stop being modest.

.”

When Cao Cao heard this, he shook his head and did not refute. Except for Li Zhi, he had never been convinced by anyone else, so he drank all the wine in his hand, which was regarded as agreeing with He Jin's words.

After Cao Cao finished drinking, Li Zhi looked at the staff behind He Jin and asked harmoniously: "I don't know your surname, brother. Is it an honor for me to have a drink with you?"

After hearing the words, the staff member glanced at He Jin. After He Jin nodded, the staff member bowed his hands to Li Zhi and said, "Excuse me, General Hussar. I am Yingchuan, Chen Qun, and Chen Changwen. I have met General Hussar."

"Chen Qun?" When Li Zhi heard this, he immediately became energetic and asked Chen Qun, "Brother Changwen is from the Chen family in Yingchuan?"

"Exactly" Chen Qun nodded.
