Chapter 430: Pu Ren's Dilemma
When Li Xinchen and the three of them looked at Du Qi, Du Qi didn't look at them.
He had heard before he came that Li Xinchen and Xiao Shilian, the two coaches of Nanchen, plus Pei Zilie, who was in Hezhou at this time, were all young and excessive figures. Today, it didn't happen.
Du Qi couldn't even believe what kind of courage these two young men had to lead a lone army all the way to finally defeat such a huge world, and they couldn't believe that the Northern Zhou army that had made them flee in the wilderness was so completely defeated in front of Li Xinchen.
Especially Zhang He, who once oppressed the Ba people and had to continue to flee into the mountains, and Lu Teng, who once killed this piece of rivers and mountains into red, their ruins and reputations are directly or indirectly related to this Li Xinchen.
In other words, Li Xinchen is kind to their Ba people.
This also made Du Qi pay more attention to Li Xinchen, he knew very well that the other two people present certainly could not really determine the cooperative relationship between Nan Chen and the Ba people in the future, and it was Li Xinchen who could really draw conclusions.
Therefore, Li Xinchen is his opponent today and a possible companion in the future.
After all, if any nation wants to expand and reproduce, it is impossible to really isolate from the world, as long as there is communication with the outside, there will be kindness and hatred, and the Ba people have always had the character of repaying kindness and revenge.
But Du Qi also has to stand from the perspective of the entire Pu people, after all, he is not just a person, he also carries the expectations of all the Pu people, so it is one thing to repay the favor, and it is another thing to fight for more benefits for the Pu people in the future.
Duzzy prides himself on being able to distinguish clearly.
Li Xinchen and Du Qi walked up to the council hall one after the other, Li Xinchen made a gesture of please, and said with a smile: "The young clan has worked hard for a long time, and it is really a sin to let the young patriarch wait!" ”
Du Qi nodded: "General Li is polite. Now General Li is in Ba County, and Hezhou and Luzhou are all in the hands of the general. If the Ba people want to survive, they need to rely on the general's breath, so waiting a little is what the last person should do. ”
Li Xinchen smiled silently, and Xiao Shilian glanced at Du Qi with some appreciation. As for King Gu Ye, he could only sigh deeply in his heart. For Li Xinchen, he hasn't even seen it clearly.
Now that Li Xinchen occupies Ba County, and pockets important places such as Hezhou and Luzhou, at least in terms of momentum, he can already be regarded as a dominant party. As for Li Xinchen's mentality towards the Nanchen court, everyone knows it.
Listening to the tune or not listening to the propaganda can already describe the current Li Xinchen very well. If he attacked Ba County before, Li Xinchen would also ask for the consent of the East Palace in advance, and even pleaded guilty to Chen Ji after taking Ba County, in order to be able to deceive his subordinates into promotion.
But this is also the first time, after the fight against Hezhou, Luzhou, and now Li Xinchen is planning to fight with Wei Chi Hui and Wei Xiaokuan, Li Xinchen has no intention of notifying the imperial court again, and has even begun to beware of the imperial court.
Du Qi and the rest of the Pu people had obviously seen Li Xinchen's mentality clearly. Before Li Xinchen, there were not a few people who occupied Bashu who had such a mentality, such as Gongsun Shu, who once proclaimed himself the White Emperor, and Zhang He not long ago. No matter where they go, at least they have more or less such thoughts, but Gongsun Shu did it in the end, but after all, it stopped in Bashu, and Zhang He didn't have the courage at all.
After all, the Northern Zhou defenders in Shu County, Hezhou, Luzhou and other places would definitely not allow Zhang He to really do anything rebellious and rebellious, and even Dai Cai, Cheng Feng and others in Zhang He's own system would not agree.
But now Li Xinchen is completely different, he is not a courtier in the Northern Zhou system, he has his own soldiers and horses and his own civil and military staff, and the Southern Chen court, which is far away in the sky, is even more out of reach of Li Xinchen because of a Jingzhou in the middle, so Li Xinchen is fully capable of really separating this land of Bashu and becoming a new White Emperor Gongsun Shu.
This is the expectation of the Ba people for Li Xinchen, they don't expect Li Xinchen to dominate the world, they only expect Li Xinchen to be able to protect Bashu and protect the Ba people in this troubled world.
That's enough.
When Du Qi and Li Xinchen's eyes made contact, Li Xinchen bowed slightly. He had already figured out Du Qi's intentions, and now looking at Du Qi's respect and eyes, Li Xinchen was already able to determine that his guess was not wrong.
And Du Qi solemnly arched his hand: "General Li, on behalf of more than 10,000 men, women and children of the Pu people, beg the general to help and relieve." ”
Li Xinchen was stunned: "Why did the young patriarch say this?" ”
And Xiao Shilian and Gu Yewang looked awe-inspiring, they had already realized that the greeting stage had passed, and the next thing to talk about was business.
Li Ping happened to bring the tea at this time. Li Xinchen made a gesture to sit down, picked up the teacup unhurriedly, and gently swept away the floating tea leaves with the lid.
Du Qi did not drag the mud and water, and said in a deep voice: "The general doesn't know, my Pu people have been forced into the mountains by the Zhou people for several years, and the tribes have been scattered over the years, and it is difficult to survive, but fortunately, there are still many birds, beasts, melons, fruits and trees in the mountains, plus the tribes support each other, so as not to starve to death, but this year, I and other tribes have not harvested much of the fields cultivated on the slopes of the mountains, and the beasts in the mountains and forests have been hunted almost, so if the general does not help, I am afraid that this winter will not pass, and there will be no Pu people in the world!" ”
As he spoke, Du Qi had already stood up and bowed deeply to Li Xinchen.
And Xiao Shilian and Gu Yewang subconsciously glanced at each other, no wonder Pu Ren was the first to run over and want to take refuge in Li Xinchen, obviously their situation was far worse than imagined!
They had imagined before that the Pu people would come to Li Xinchen for what reason, and it was inevitable to seek stability in this troubled world, and even Li Xinchen thought so. It's just that they didn't expect that the Pu people would be hungry now, and even to such a point where it was difficult to maintain.
But when you think about it, it doesn't seem to be unreasonable. This year, there are indeed many places in Ba County and the southern part of Shu County that have failed harvests, which is why Li Xinchen has displaced people to resettle. And the fields below the mountain have failed to harvest, and the already barren fields on the mountain are naturally not much better, so it is reasonable for the Pu people to be hungry.
What's more, the Ba people have been driven into the mountains for a long time, and the birds and beasts in the mountains have long been hunted and killed.
So the current Ba people have no choice but to come to Li Xinchen!
