Chapter 1607: Good Birds Choose Trees to Perch
To tell the truth, Qin Tian at this time was actually a little confused.
This Zuo Yuanhao's name, Qin Tian has long been like thunder.
In his early twenties, he was already the strongest person of the younger generation of the city guards.
Therefore, two years ago, Lei Shi took great pains to snatch Zuo Yuanhao from Xiao Zhan's hands, won over all kinds of troops, and handed over his trump card troops to Zuo Yuanhao to lead.
Over the years, Zuo Yuanhao has lived in a simple life, but he has also earned enough face for Lei Shi and made a lot of military achievements.
Qin Tian had met with him a few times, but they were all nodding acquaintances, and he didn't even say anything at all except for a simple greeting.
I really didn't expect that this time, Zuo Yuanhao would come over with 10,000 troops of Lei Shi!
"Commander Zuo, my appearance surprised me too much, hehe...... As I recall, I did not write to you...... Come on, come on, let's not talk about these things yet, please inside!
Qin Tian was overjoyed, and held a banquet to entertain the three generals of Gao Fei and Zuo Yuanhao.
Gao Fei and the three of them were Xiao Zhan's descendants before, and they were Xiao Zhan's staff members, and they had a very good relationship with Qin Tian.
Everyone was drinking happily at the banquet, Zhou Yang hurriedly came from outside, walked to Qin Tian's ear, and said in a low voice: "Boss, the people of Lei Shi, Xingshi is here to ask for guilt, it is estimated that he is here to ask for Zuo Yuanhao." ”
Qin Tian smiled faintly and said, "It's just in time, please!"
After a while, Zhou Yang led a middle-aged man in armor in, and everyone present recognized that this person was Wang Zhongyuan, Lei Shi's staff.
"Zuo Yuanhao, what do you mean!? What are your intentions in carrying General Lei on your back and bringing 10,000 people to Xiaochi Town? Have you forgotten General Lei's kindness to you!"
As soon as he entered the hall, Wang Zhongyuan shouted at Zuo Yuanhao.
Zuo Yuanhao said unhurriedly: "Master Wang, what are you talking about? I was ordered by the Governor of Qin to come to Xiaochi Town to meet and discuss the military, and I also heard that General Lei is coming, isn't it? Why are you here, isn't General Lei also coming?"
"You ......"
Zuo Yuanhao skillfully spoke, which directly made Wang Zhongyuan hesitate and didn't know what to say.
"You, you led the troops out, and you didn't tell General Lei at all, how do you explain this?"
Wang Zhongyuan pointed at Zuo Yuanhao and was ready to scold.
Qin Tian didn't give him a chance, waved his hand, and said, "Master Wang, Commander Zuo doesn't need to explain, I ordered him to lead the troops here." Not only that, you came just in time, I also want to question you, the order of the Governor of Pontus has been issued, and General Lei is going to Xiaochi Town today to discuss the important affairs of the military aircraft, why didn't he come?"
"This ...... This...... I ......"
Qin Tian asked with majesty, but it was beyond Wang Zhongyuan's expectations, Wang Zhongyuan shook his head, changed the topic, and said: "Governor Qin, the lower official is ordered by General Lei to come to negotiate with the Governor of Qin, and the lower official wants to take Zuo Yuanhao and his 10,000 soldiers and horses back to Haicheng to garrison, and ask the Governor of Qin not to stop him." ”
"Why don't you stop it? My order is to let Commander Zuo bring people here to wait for the order, you General Lei, do you have any other orders?"
Qin Tian stood up and questioned Wang Zhongyuan again.
Before Wang Zhongyuan could speak, Qin Tian asked again: "Even if General Lei has other orders, then, you said Commander Zuo, should you listen to me or General Lei?!"
Qin Tian had something to say, and while speaking, he walked in front of Wang Zhongyuan, and his domineering attitude was exposed, making Wang Zhongyuan take several steps back.
"This kid, why is he so domineering and majestic now!"
Wang Zhongyuan was surprised in his heart, and said in his heart that the Qin Tian I saw before was not like this, he usually respects me when he sees me, why is it that today, when he was promoted, he was so unreasonable?
"I am now acting as the governor, and you General Lei do not listen to orders, do you have different intentions!"
Qin Tian had already approached Wang Zhongyuan and asked loudly.
Wang Zhongyuan was so frightened that he staggered, and hurriedly said: "No, no, my general...... Well...... I wasn't feeling well, so I didn't come today, and the lower official came to explain the situation to the governor on behalf of my general. ”
"Okay, I already know the situation. You go back and tell Lei Shi immediately, and say that after the military meeting, Zuo Yuanhao will temporarily garrison Xiaochi Town, and after my orders and tasks are completed, I will join you!"
"This ...... Qin Du Du ...... This ......"
"Do you have an opinion?"
"Xia Guan didn't ...... It's just that...... I'm worried about my family general......"
"Are you worried about your general's life?"
"You...... Governor Qin, please be careful!"
"Hahaha...... Since you General Lei will not die in a whimper, then what are you worried about? You go back and tell Lei Shi that if he has any opinion on the decision of the governor of Pontus, he can come and tell me in person, after all, he is my senior, as long as he comes to explain the situation in person, everything can be discussed. Go for it!"
Qin Tian's brows relaxed, and with a wave of his hand, he didn't let Wang Zhongyuan continue to make noise, and let Zhou Yang take him down.
The banquet continued, and after three rounds of drinking, Qin Tian took Zuo Yuanhao out three steps, and the two of them walked slowly in the woods outside the barracks.
"Commander Zuo, can you tell me that you quietly came to me with 10,000 horses from your headquarters, how did you make this decision? ”
This was the biggest question in Qin Tian's heart, he really couldn't understand how this young and promising general from the imperial capital could choose him at such a critical moment.
You must know that at this time, Qin Tian only has 50,000 horses under his hands, and he has no backers, as long as the big man in the imperial capital says a word, Qin Tian may overturn at any time.
"It's true that we don't cross paths, but I've studied you for a long time. ”
Zuo Yuanhao did not shy away from it, stared at Qin Tian, smiled faintly, and said: "Governor Qin, there is a saying that a good bird chooses a tree to perch. When you are promoted to the rank of General of the East Gate, the last general has already made the decision to come to you. ”
"It's just that at that time, the last general was soft-spoken, and if he came alone, it would definitely not attract the attention of Qin Dudu, but would also cause a misunderstanding between you and Lei Shi. So I gave up on that idea. ”
"But now, the time is ripe. You have been promoted to the first deputy governor, and your official position has surpassed Lei Shi, besides, General Xiao Zhan is dead, you must also have some doubts in your heart about this matter, and you should also know that you are surrounded by strong enemies and are in danger. Hehe, I'm going to vote at this critical moment when you urgently need to hire people, and you won't treat me badly, right? What I brought was the most elite 10,000 people in Thunderstone. ”
Zuo Yuanhao looked at Qin Tian and smiled faintly, "Don't be surprised by Qin Dudu, since I have already decided to come to you, then when I speak, there is nothing to hide, every word is my thoughts and heartfelt words." ”
