Chapter 147: The Messenger
Li Qingshan led people to the front of the camp of the thief army, and the group looked at the strict defense and the murderous guards, and they were also beating drums in their hearts, and they were somewhat frightened.
Instead of looking at the guards who tried to kill them with their eyes, Li Qingshan stepped forward and shouted: "Li Qingshan, the envoy of the official army, asks to see General Du!" ”
For these uninvited guests, the sergeants guarding the door of the thief camp also felt a little troublesome.
At the moment, the two armies are at war, and before the purpose of the official army is determined, how can they take it lightly.
Don't look at Li Qingshan, there are not many of them, but after the last battle, the thief army suffered a lot of losses with more and fewer attacks, and it was inevitable that they were a little afraid of the official army.
It's just that they are all elites, and even if they are worried, they will not show it on their faces.
They aimed all their weapons at these people and took strict precautions against them. I am afraid that if I am not careful, I will be killed by these people, and then they will seize the camp and kill everyone in the camp.
"There must be a conspiracy for these people to come here, we must be careful!" The gatekeepers thought.
If the thieves and sergeants were to choose for themselves, the best way to solve the problem at the moment would be to ignore nothing and kill these officers and soldiers first, so as not to fall for their tricks.
However, after all, the officials and soldiers came to ask for a meeting in an open and honest manner, so they didn't dare to really do it until the above meaning came down.
"Wait here!" The captain of the gate guarded his face calmly and said to Li Qingshan and them.
The lieutenant waved his hand, and a sergeant quickly entered the camp to report back.
Although he didn't get any good faces, Li Qingshan didn't say much, and he wasn't in a hurry, he just smiled and waited obediently.
The sergeant who had reported the news soon returned, and whispered something in the captain's ear.
After hearing this, the lieutenant asked people to open the camp gate with an unhappy face, and said to Li Qingshan and the others angrily: "The general has an order, please go in!" ”
"Thank you, general!" Li Qingshan smiled and thanked the captain.
"Go and go, come less to this set!" The lieutenant did not appreciate it, and got out of the way, and let them in as quickly as flies were chased, preferably out of their sight at once, so that they could not be out of sight and out of mind.
Li Qingshan was not angry, he still thanked him sincerely, and then honestly led people in.
The captain has always shown that he loves Li Qingshan and them, and only when Li Qingshan and they passed by him, did the captain touch the handle of the knife on his waist and snorted coldly: "Hmph, you are lucky this time, otherwise you will definitely taste the power of my knife!" ”
Watching the captain touch the knife, Li Qingshan heard the murderous aura in his words.
Li Qingshan also has a temper, but he naturally has his own business to do when he comes here this time, so some verbal offenses, forbearance will pass, and he can't be angry with those martial artists for this, so as not to delay the big thing.
Therefore, he did not mind the attitude of the lieutenants towards himself and others, and he was not angry. And since Du Zishan let them in, these people won't do anything here.
Li Qingshan and the others did not stop, and went straight into the camp of the thief army, and under the leadership and supervision of a team of thief soldiers, they came to the commander's camp of Du Zishan.
When everyone was about to go in, Du Zishan's personal soldiers stopped a few people behind Li Qingshan: "The general said, please invite the official and military envoys to enter the tent, as for the others, the general didn't say that he wanted to see them, so just wait outside first!" ”
Li Qingshan looked back
The few people who were stopped signaled to them not to be impatient and not to quarrel with the thieves.
These officers and soldiers were only sent by Lin Fan from his own soldiers to protect Li Qingshan, but in fact, it didn't matter so much whether they could enter or not.
Moreover, Du Zishan is also the commander of the thief army, so it is normal not to let Li Qingshan bring the guards in.
The military tent is small, if they are allowed to enter, in case their brains are hot, it is not impossible to do the thing of hijacking the commander, and it is impossible for the thief army not to guard against this.
Li Qingshan comforted several people and said with a smile: "Since people are not welcome, then you should wait outside first!" ”
After speaking, he turned around and entered the camp tent, and saw Du Zishan who was sitting behind the bookcase and reading.
Li Qingshan bowed and saluted: "Li Qingshan, the envoy of the lower official army, has seen General Du!" ”
Du Zishan looked away from the book and looked at Li Qingshan. He didn't expect that the person who came didn't wear an official uniform, but only a cloth shirt to meet the enemy commander.
Hiding his curiosity, he said lightly: "My lord has worked hard, this official has never been far away in military affairs, and it is rude!" ”
"The general's words are serious, and he is just a small official in the army, but he can't afford to be called the general's 'adult'." Li Qingshan hurriedly replied.
Hearing this, Du Zishan's face was a little gloomy: "So, are you sent by Lin Fan to insult me?" This kind of method is inevitably too unacceptable. If that's the case, it makes me underestimate Lin Fan! ”
Li Qingshan was not surprised that Du Zishan knew Lin Fan's name. The two sides have been confronting each other for several days, if he can't even find out this little thing, then there is no need for him to come today, and Lin Fan doesn't have to have such a headache for Du Zishan.
"No, Lord Lin didn't mean to look down on the general when he sent me. On the contrary, it was because my family valued the general that I sent me here. ”
"Oh, you said he sent a little clerk to meet me, but because he looked up to me?" Du Zishan obviously didn't believe Li Qingshan's words.
"This official also holds the official position of the second grade in King Xing, and in terms of official position alone, the master behind you cannot be compared with me. But he sent one of your officials to me, and what else could it be if it wasn't humiliation? In the end, Du Zishan's words already carried a lot of murderous energy.
The relationship between the two sides is too unequal, even if the court does not recognize Du Zishan's so-called second-grade hypocrisy that was sealed by King Xing. But the thousands of soldiers and horses under his command can't be faked, this is the real hard power, and everyone has to admit it.
If it was usual, even if Lin Fan didn't come, at least he would have to be a military attache of Deng Wentong and Zeng Liang's level. Or Lin Fan wrote a letter directly, and directly transferred a civil official from Gwangju to the table.
Therefore, Lin Fan only sent an official like Li Qingshan, and it was normal to provoke Du Zishan's anger.
In fact, after Li Qingshan revealed his identity, Du Zishan could still tell him so much, which was already considered a good cultivation. If this is replaced by a bad-tempered person, I am afraid that before Li Qingshan finishes reporting his identity, he will be pulled out and his head will be cut off.
It's not that Lin Fan hasn't thought about this, it's just that everyone else in the army is not suitable except for himself.
If you transfer people from Gwangju, you will inevitably have to have another fight in the process. Waste of time, even if Gwangju sent someone, that person might not have the courage to enter the thief camp. After all the calculations, only Li Qingshan reassured him the most.
A general who has been in battle and killed in battle starts a fire, and the power of it is by no means something ordinary people can bear. What's more, Du Zishan is a military general
is also a leader, and the pressure on Li Qingshan, who is in it, can be imagined.
Li Qingshan had already expected this situation before he came, so he was not flustered.
He explained softly: "General, although I am only a small official, I am the earliest to follow Lord Lin and one of the people he trusts the most. And just before I came, Lord Lin gave me great authorization, and I can make my own decisions without reporting many things! I wonder if this counts as an emphasis on generals? ”
Du Zishan is not an impulsive person, let alone stupid. What Li Qingshan said, he didn't think of it, otherwise Li Qingshan would not be able to cut off even if he had a hundred heads.
He suppressed his anger, stared at Li Qingshan with amusement and said, "If he really trusts you, will he send you over to die?" I see in your master's heart, you may not be as important as you say, right? ”
Li Qingshan was noncommittal: "For the general, it doesn't matter what position I have in my family. The important thing is that I came to see the general today. ”
"Oh, what's the matter?" Du Zishan asked curiously.
"Surrender!" Li Qingshan's voice was not high, but it revealed firmness.
"Presumptuous, you are so bold!" Du Zishan was furious when he heard this, and slammed the table.
The force was so great that even the wooden barrel containing the military medal arrow on the table was shaken and flew high, and fell to the ground with a hula, and the arrow inside fell all over the ground.
Such a big movement alarmed the pro-soldiers of Du Zishan who were guarding outside, and thought that something had happened inside, so they all rushed in at once.
Seeing that Du Zishan was fine, they relaxed a lot, but they still drew their swords and surrounded Li Qingshan.
A personal soldier put a knife on Li Qingshan's neck and asked Du Zishan: "This person offended the general, do you want your subordinates to end it?" ”
Ignoring the knife on his neck, and not taking the group of Du Zishan's personal soldiers behind him in his eyes, Li Qingshan said to Du Zishan, who had a gloomy face: "Is this General Du's hospitality?" Today I opened my eyes. Although what I just said is not good, doesn't the general really want to hear my reasons? ”
The ridicule in Li Qingshan's words Du Zishan would not fail to hear it, and he also knew that Li Qingshan would not be untargeted. He suppressed his anger again, and his face regained somewhat.
He said to his soldiers: "Go down! ”
The soldiers looked at each other: "But? ”
"But what? Don't you hurry down, do you think it's not enough for me to be embarrassed? Are you going to let outsiders see my jokes? Du Zishan interrupted them and reprimanded.
The soldiers had no choice but to put their knives into their sheaths, and stared at Li Qingshan hatefully, as if they wanted to remember his appearance, and they must find another opportunity to be angry for their generals in the future.
Seeing that his general's face was about to become even more ugly, there were signs of anger again. Only then did they hurriedly salute Du Zishan: "Subordinates wait to retire!" ”
Seeing the soldiers exiting the camp, Du Zishan said slowly to Li Qingshan: "Are you really not afraid of death?" ”
"It's also flesh and blood below, how can you not be afraid?" Although Li Qingshan replied that he was afraid, his tone was neither humble nor arrogant.
"Then you dare to come?" Du Zishan asked again.
"It's for the sake of the general!" Li Qingshan Road.
"What?" Du Zishan couldn't believe his ears and suspected that he had heard it wrong. This man came to persuade himself to surrender, and he actually kept saying that it was for his own sake.
