Chapter 24 On Talent and Wine Tasting (1)(1/2)

“Good wine!”

Guan Yu was sitting opposite Li Zhi, taking a sip of wine and cheering loudly.

But that night, Li Zhi left Guan Yu to have a banquet.

Although Guan Yu liked the wine very much, he was not intoxicated by it. He drank a few glasses and stopped.

"Brother, how much do you want me to train my troops? Where will I station them?"

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Guan Yu's face turned even redder, but he did not forget about business, so he asked Li Zhi.

"To kill Cao Jie, we must do it strictly, without making any noise, and we don't need many troops."

Speaking of which, he took a sip of wine

"My brother has transferred more than eighty people here for my virtuous brother to train. My virtuous brother must refine them into elites."

Li Zhi was a little embarrassed when he said this.

After all, asking this Martial Saint to train more than eighty people is overkill.

However, he did not expect that Guan Yu would secretly breathe a sigh of relief at this moment.

Although Guan Yu was famous in later generations, but...he is just a young man of 16 years old now.

Although he has outstanding military strength, even if he is asked to fight on the battlefield, he is not afraid.

However, he had never trained soldiers or been on the battlefield. Now that he heard that only about 80 people were being trained, he became even more confident.

"Brother, don't worry, I will live up to my trust!"

"If this doesn't work out, I'll come and see you."

Guan Yu cupped his hands and assured with a proud look on his face.

When Li Zhi saw that he had issued a military order, he hurriedly said

"Good brother, you don't have to be like this."

"The time for this matter is quite tight. Brother Xian only has less than twenty days to train troops. Time is so urgent. How can we train troops well?"

Li Zhi saw that he had some misunderstanding and hurriedly explained to him

"It's easy to kill the thieves this time, but it's not easy to get more."

"As a brother, I let my virtuous brothers train my troops. I choose thirty of them from among them."

Having said this, he looked at Guan Yu sincerely.

"I don't have any generals under my command. When the time comes, I will have Brother Lao Xian to take action."

When Guan Yu heard this, his face straightened and he said loudly:

"Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world."

"I am also a subject of the Han Dynasty. It is my duty to eliminate thieves. How dare I refuse to do so to my death!"

"good!"

When Li Zhi heard this, he was moved by his pride and loyalty and applauded loudly.

Li Zhi knew his own affairs. He wanted to kill Cao Jie, not for the sake of the people in the world, but for his own reputation.

After all, in this day and age, fame is also a talisman.

If you want to live comfortably in this era, you must have a great reputation.

Since he came to this era, his safety has always been very low, he is always suspicious, and he almost has a persecution delusion.

Now Li Zhi heard Guan Yu's heroic words and felt his willingness to sacrifice his life for the country and the people, and was greatly affected.

"My virtuous brother's heart for the country and the people is obvious to all, and he can be called a righteous man."

At this point, Li Zhi picked up the wine cup and said in awe:

"The heart of a good brother is admirable. Take a glass of wine to respect your good brother and drink it as a saint!"

After he drinks it all

"Brother, you are so complimentary. I feel ashamed that I don't deserve it."

After saying this, Guan Yu also drank the wine in one gulp.

The two of them had a very interesting chat, and by the time the wine was over, the moon was already in the sky.

Li Zhi arranged for someone to take Guan Yu to rest, and he returned to his room.

After washing up, Qiu'er asked Qiu'er to bring him a glass of water, and he leaned on the soft couch and fell into deep thought.

Guan Yu's words today touched him a lot.

Since he came to this era, he has met many people who are concerned about the country and the people.

There were people like Xun and Guan Yu who were loyal to the Han Dynasty.

He is also like Xi Zhicai. Although he is not loyal to the Han Dynasty, he still cares about the people of the world.

In comparison, he is more like an out-and-out villain.

It is indeed a bit petty to plan everything just for your own interests.

"Even if the world is in ruins, people who are loyal to the Han Dynasty are still like carps crossing the river, countless."

Thinking of this, Li Zhi sighed and murmured to himself: "The Canglong fell to the ground as a Canglong. The prestige of the Han Dynasty has lasted for hundreds of years..."

"Cao Cao never proclaimed himself emperor until his death. I'm afraid it's for this reason."

"Liu Bei can achieve great success by taking the name of a Han clan clan member who is not sure whether it is true or false."

"The afterglow of the Han Dynasty is really terrifying!"

"If there is an emperor like Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han, maybe the Han Dynasty can be revived!"

"If that's the case, why should I work so hard as I am now?"

Thinking of this, Li Zhi shook his head.

"That's all... If the Han Dynasty can be supported, it doesn't matter if I support it, it can be regarded as worthy of the title of Han."

"If it can't be helped...then it's not my fault!"

Thinking of this, Li Zhi firmed up his expression.

"I don't want to think so much anymore. There will be wine sales tomorrow, and the plan is about to start. Let's go to bed first."

At this moment, his drunkenness gradually increased, and he lay down on the couch and fell into a deep sleep.

next day

After Li Zhi woke up, washed and had dinner, Guan Yu came to see him.

"Where is my brother now?"

"Time is too urgent, so I want to train him immediately."

Li Zhi pondered for a moment after hearing the words, and then nodded.

"That's fine. Time is indeed pressing for this matter. I wish my dear brother had trained them earlier."

After speaking, he asked a servant to take him to find Guo De.

Looking at Guan Yu's back as he hurried out, he thought to himself: "He is really a loyal and righteous man."

After sighing, he walked to the main hall.

Arriving at the main hall, Xun and three others had been waiting here for a long time.

"Brother Xing is here."

"Now that the wine has arrived, how can Brother Xing sell the wine?"

Xun asked anxiously after seeing Li Zhi come in.

"Brother Wen Ruo, don't be anxious. I know you have a case in mind about selling liquor."

At this point he paused, and then said to Xun

"I just have something, I'm afraid I have to ask Wen Ruo for help."

"What's the matter?"

Xun asked neatly

"I want to hold a wine tasting conference, but I have to ask Brother Lao Wenruo to write more invitations and invite more people."

“Remember, we are not selling wine but tasting wine, lest some

People who maintain their own identity are unwilling to go."

He was afraid that Xun would make a mistake, so he warned Xun.

"This time we will not only hold a wine tasting conference, but also a talent discussion ceremony."

"When the time comes, I will not only judge a wine master, but also the most talented person in Luoyang."
