The next morning, Yi Ji and Liang Xi, newly appointed subordinates of Liu Bei's Chen Xi, came together to visit Chen Xi, to get acquainted.
There's not much to say about Yi Ji, who admired Liu Bei and had long wanted to switch allegiance. However, since Liu Biao treated him well, he remained loyal until Liu Biao was defeated. After settling things post-floods, he headed to Mount Tai.
As for Liang Xi, he was originally a military officer recommended by Zhou Yu but was captured during Fa Zheng's scheming in Xuzhou and had been detained ever since.
By the time Liang Xi was released, the world had changed. Simply put, if Liu Bei was a hegemon before, he was now vying for the throne.
Liang Xi is the kind of person who submits to the strong. Having been detained for so long, he switched allegiance when Liu Bei emitted his dominative presence while recruiting Li Tong. After some assessment, Liu Bei found Liang Xi capable, so he sent him to serve as a subordinate to Chen Xi.
