Three days later, Yongcheng camp.

"Qin Feng killed three enemies, awarded the knight of the first class, and was promoted to captain; Li Ji killed two enemies, awarded the knight of the second class, and promoted to the rank of chief......" Li Wu took the list of meritorious soldiers and read them one by one, in addition to rewarding titles and official positions, these meritorious people were also rewarded with gold, silver and satin, and they were also able to give priority to selecting daughters-in-law from among the women brought by Baili City.

The soldiers standing in the audience were all envious of those who came to the stage to award medals, and at the same time secretly made up their minds that the next time they fought a war, they must have as many enemies as there and make more achievements; Because being able to stand on the school platform not only means titles, official positions, money and food, and women, but also glory, and the halo that is buckled on one's head.

After the award, Guo Qi stood on the school platform of the big camp, facing all the soldiers and soldiers, and gave an impassioned speech: "The awarders this time are all in the battle of Baili City to suppress bandits, and those who have made meritorious contributions are rewarded one by one, and those who are disabled and killed in the war are given money and food pensions;

Yongzhou is strong, one relies on reclamation, and the other relies on conquest; If the people of Yongzhou want to gain a foothold in Western Xinjiang, what do they rely on? Relying on you to fight bloody battles again and again, you are all my Yongzhou, I am a meritorious person, please accept the worship of this king. ”

After Guo Qi finished speaking, he saluted the soldiers standing in the audience.

"The lord is a thousand years old, the great Qi is ten thousand years, the lord is a thousand years old, the great Qi is ten thousand years ......old," the soldiers shouted passionately.

After the award speech, Guo Qi returned to the Chinese army's tent and saw Song Yiming waiting for him.

"Yiming! Keeping you waiting. ”

"What the lord just said was really impassioned! The blood of the despicable duty is boiling, and he can't wait to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions. ”

"Ha, ha, ha...... This king doesn't want you to go to war, you are the king's brainsman, and this king can count on you to govern the people and control the people! ”

"The lord praised it falsely, and he came to the lord in an urgent matter."

"What's the urgency, let's talk about it!"

"The humble post has just received news from the mountain people who have returned to Shun, and the mountain wind has held an alliance with the bandits of Yong, Long, and Jing in Erlong Mountain today."

"It seems that we destroyed a mountain carving, which made these bandits scared, and they actually wanted to form an alliance to resist it."

"Once these bandits form an alliance, it will be very disadvantageous to us! Although the bandits in the three states are usually scattered everywhere and don't look like much, once they are united, I am afraid that there will be tens of thousands of people! In addition, they are all veterans of drilling forests, if they really resist stubbornly in the mountains at that time, it will be very unfavorable to the encirclement and suppression of our army! ”

"It's just a group of bandits, even if it's an alliance, it's a rabble, how can it be so easy to integrate together, each of them has their own little calculations in their hearts!

What the king is worried about now is not that this group of bandits will form an alliance, but that this group of bandits will collude with Sijon; Once they join forces, I'm afraid it's really not easy. ”

"Can't! Sijon is a foreign race! ”

"Nothing is impossible, it seems that we have to prepare early." Guo Qi pondered and said: "Li Wu ordered the captains of the Yajun Guards to come to the big tent to discuss matters. ”

"No! Commanded by Humble Duty......"

——————

Erlong Mountain, inside the big tent on the top of the mountain.

The heroes of the green forest at the junction of Yong, Long, and Jing gathered together to discuss the alliance.

Thirty-seven chairs were placed in the tent at the top of the mountain, with a tiger skin chair in the center and eighteen on each side of the column below; Except for the chair on the main seat, each of the remaining chairs represents a cottage, which means that there are thirty-six cottages participating in the alliance this time.

The owners of each village sat in turn according to the size of their forces, and the tiger skin chair on the main seat was empty, and that position was naturally sat by the alliance leader.

"Everyone, everyone is here today, everyone is here to discuss major matters, and I thank you in advance." Chen Shan got up from his seat and said to the big guy.

"Chen Da is in charge, we are all rough people, don't fix these vain words, let's talk about things directly!" One of the owners said.

"Okay, since Shen Dangjia is so impatient, then let's get straight to the point." Chen Shan said directly: "You should all have received the letter, the mountain carving has been destroyed by the government, and the government has released a message for us to go down the mountain and return to Shun, otherwise we will enter the mountain to encircle and suppress;

All of us went into the mountains to be bandits, and we were all forced by the government at the beginning, otherwise who would want to come to this deep mountain and old forest! Today, I called all the big bosses of each village, just to discuss whether we should return to the government, where should we go, and advance and retreat together. ”

After Chen Shan finished speaking, he sat back in his seat, and a tall and sturdy man sitting opposite Chen Shan stood up, this person is Jia Shen, nicknamed Pangolin, don't look at Jia Shen who looks five big and three thick, tall and mighty, in fact, not only is his martial arts strong, but also his mind is very delicate.

"Master Chen is right, we should advance and retreat together." Jia Shen stood up and said: "All the owners of the village also have their own eyeliner, since King Yongzhou arrived in Yongzhou, it can be said that Yongzhou is changing day by day, and now King Yongzhou has completely gained a firm foothold in Yongzhou;

If we really turn against King Yong, and King Yong is determined to exterminate us, we basically don't have much ability to resist, unless we can resist with the help of external forces. ”

"Jashen, do you mean to take refuge in Xijon?" Chen Feng, who was standing behind Chen Shan, roared at Jia Shen: "Jia Shen, don't forget that your Jia family was wiped out by Xirong back then; And the big guy who is doing it, who has no blood feud with Xirong! ”

"Chen Feng, I don't need you to remind me." Not to be outdone, Jia Shen said: "Did Lao Tzu say that he wanted to take refuge in Xirong?" If Lao Tzu wanted to vote for Xirong, he would have voted a long time ago, and he would have to wait until now. ”

Chen Feng looked at Jia Shen with anger on his face, and then completely understood; What Jia Shen just said was the opposite, Jia Shen said that he wanted to use external forces, but in fact, he was afraid of using external forces; The reason why I said this sentence as soon as I came up was to arouse strong opposition and completely block the road with the help of external forces.

"Alright, you two don't quarrel, and don't look at what this place is." Chen Shan said angrily: "It is absolutely impossible to take refuge in a foreign race, how can we say that we are also children of the Han family." ”

"Since we can't rely on external forces, and we can't compete with King Yong, then there is only one way left." Jashin said; "I know that everyone is not at ease with Guishun, and is afraid that King Yong will settle accounts after the autumn; I thought we might as well talk to King Yong about the conditions. ”

"Master Jia, everyone knows that you have a lot of ideas, don't beat around the bush, just say what you have to say!"

"If you have anything to say, just say it."

"I thought we could negotiate with King Yong, and it was okay to return to obedience, but we didn't leave the mountain, and we didn't listen to the tune, what do you think?"

"That's a good idea." One of the village owners said: "As long as we don't leave the mountain, the government can't help us, but do we have this capital?" Can people say yes? ”

"If you agree or not, you will not know until we talk about it." Jashin said: "The top priority now is to negotiate a bottom line for us, and we must all elect an alliance leader to sign the alliance. ”
