"This kid ......"

Looking at Meng Zhong who was talking with his arms crossed on the side, Zhao Ben suddenly remembered someone in his heart.

"Wu Anjun Su Qin"!

Su Qin, when this person received the title of "Wu Anjun" in Zhao State, it was during the period of Zhao Suhou, when Su Qin persuaded Zhao Suhou to say that the Central Plains countries would "join forces to attack Qin" under the support of Zhao Suhou, but unfortunately they were destroyed by "Gongsun Yan", who was still serving as the state minister of Qin at that time - this Gongsun Yan, who also advocated "joining forces and conquering Qin" when he was later serving as the state minister of Wei, adopted the strategy of "connecting horizontal pro-Qin", so that Qi and Wei united with Qin and defeated Zhao together.

This made Zhao Suhou accountable to Su Qin, and also made Su Qin flee from Zhao to Yan and Qi out of fear.

Su Qin was still in Zhao Guo, and Zhao Ben was only about ten years old, and he was fortunate to follow his uncle Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao, and witnessed this lobbyist who was as famous as Zhang Yi and Gongsun Yan, and watched him move people's hearts with his words.

That's quite a lot of eloquence!

Even now, Zhao Ben still found it hard to believe that Su Qin could persuade the princes of the Central Plains to unite against the Qin State with just one mouth, so that the Qin State would not dare to take a step in Hangu Pass for as long as fifteen years.

Of course, compared to this one, the young man named Meng Zhong in front of him is still far behind, but looking at the appearance of this son talking in public, Zhao Ben somehow thought of that Wu'an Jun Su Qin - although after Zhao's father succeeded to the throne, Zhao Guo had already withdrawn Su Qin's title.

Zhao Ben remembered that his uncle Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao once said to him that the biggest reliance of lobbyists is to "do what they like", using the desires in people's hearts to achieve the purpose of persuading the other party, just like the young man named Meng Zhong at this moment, using Bole Xiangma as a metaphor to confuse those soldiers who want to get ahead, isn't this the same set when Su Qin lobbied Zhao Suhou?

"This son...... Aren't you a Taoist disciple?'

Zhao Ben thought to himself.

At this time, Mu Li and several other soldiers who had been told by him in advance were full of anxiety.

Because Mu Li and the others found that after Meng Zhong's kid said a promise that seemed beautiful but was actually empty, the ridicule and contempt of the five hundred soldiers present for this person suddenly disappeared, as if everyone was hesitating.

How good is that?

Recalling the advice of Zhao Ben to himself and others in advance, Mu Li gritted his teeth and shouted loudly: "Don't be deceived by this kid, how can he dare to make such a promise?" ”

"Huh?"

Meng Zhong turned his head to look at Mu Li, frowning and looking up and down.

He has no grievances with this soldier named Mu Li, but the other party has instigated the rest of the soldiers again and again to obstruct him from subduing the army's heart, only once can be said to be a coincidence, but twice in a row, and the attitude is so resolute, I am afraid this cannot be explained by coincidence.

"Did you receive some instructions? …… In other words, remembering this Zhao Junzuo, it seems that Fang Cai also deliberately wants to make me ugly......

After thinking for a moment, Meng Zhong quietly glanced at Zhao Ben, the military assistant standing next to him, and secretly guessed in his heart.

Having said that, Meng Zhong didn't need to explain much about Mu Li's questioning at all, he just took out the complete copper tiger talisman in his arms and held it high.

"This is the 'Xinwei' Tiger Talisman awarded by the monarch and Lord Zhao's father!"

Holding the tiger talisman in his hand, Meng Zhong said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, the five hundred soldiers below whispered.

In their opinion, other things may be faked, but the tiger talisman can't be faked - after all, the fraud of such a thing as a military talisman is to cut off the head, and it is the crime of "joint sitting" involving relatives, which can almost be compared with rebellion, and no one will kill a private military talisman.

What's more, the military talisman was mostly used in conjunction with the edict of the monarch or the official letter of the superior.

In other words, the kid named Meng Zhong held a complete copper tiger talisman in his hand, which was indeed enough to prove the degree of favor of this son by Lord Zhao's father's side.

Thinking of this, no soldier echoed and Mu Li jumped out to question Meng Zhong.

Seeing this, Meng Zhong put away the tiger talisman, and immediately pointed at Mu Li with his finger, and said calmly: "The second time." ”

At this moment, a chariot came from the direction of the camp gate, driven by Meng Hu, followed by Meng Sui, Wu Ying, Le Jin, and Mu Wu.

Zhao Ben turned his head to take a look, and then he saw what was carried on the chariot: two wooden boxes, which could probably hold an adult man, and in addition to a log, I don't know where to find it.

"What's this for?"

Zhao Ben glanced at Meng Zhong with some puzzlement.

"Ah Zhong."

When Wu Ying, Le Jin and the others moved the log and the two wooden boxes off the chariot, Meng Hu, who was driving, walked up to Meng Zhong in a few steps, and said in a low voice: "When I came back, I saw some people looking around sneakily. …… Those people, judging by their clothes, were not soldiers in the battalion. ”

Hearing this, Meng Zhong glanced around.

Of course, he could guess the details of those guys who were "not like the soldiers in the camp", either they were sent by Zhao Wanghe or Zhao Xiangfeiyi, or they were sent by Anpingjun Zhao Cheng, Fengyangjun Li Dui and others, after all, "Lord Zhao's father wants to train the new army as guards", it is impossible to hide it from those dignitaries in Handan City.

Especially Zhao Cheng, Li Dui and others, who are more sensitive to this, will of course send people to monitor the movements.

Of course, it is also possible that Master Zhao sent it.

"Ignore it."

Meng Zhong shook his head and said.

At this time, Wu Ying had already moved the log off the chariot, and under Meng Zhong's instructions, he stood aside with the erected log; And Le Jin, Le Xu, Mu Wu, Hua Hu and others, with the help of Meng Sui and Le Yi, also moved the two heavy wooden boxes from the chariot.

As for the contents of these two wooden boxes, they are naturally the five thousand Zhao cloth coins that Master Zhao promised to Meng Zhong today.

After making preparations, I saw Meng Zhong say in a deep voice to the five hundred soldiers: "Although I Meng Zhong is young, I have also seen many art of war, and I know that the most important thing in the army is the word 'letter'......"

After that, he raised his hand and pointed to the log that Wu Ying was holding, and said, "Who is willing to move this log to the camp gate, Meng will reward him with five hundred cloth coins!" ”

"Five hundred cloth coins?"

"Really?"

"Just moving this log to the camp gate?"

The five hundred soldiers present suddenly looked shocked, after all, for ordinary soldiers, five hundred cloth coins was not a small amount of money.

Seeing that the soldiers present were talking and showing yearning, Mu Li secretly said that it was not good, and shouted loudly: "You Tongze, don't be deceived, this kid uses wealth to buy us, it is clear that he is uneasy and kind......"

“……”

Meng Zhong frowned, and after looking at Mu Li deeply for a few times, he pointed his finger at the latter and said, "You, come here." ”

Seeing this, Na Mu Li was not afraid, walked up to Meng Zhong with his head held high and said, "What's ......?"

Before he could finish speaking, Meng Zhong suddenly drew his sword and slashed at him with a sharp blade.

That Mu Li didn't expect Meng Zhong to dare to turn his face at this time, he was shocked, and subconsciously raised his hand to block, but he didn't expect Meng Zhong to change the split to a thorn, and a sword pierced Mu Li's chest.

"You ......" Mu Li looked at Meng Zhong in disbelief.

Zhao Ben, who was beside him, also showed surprise on his face at this time, he never expected that the young Meng Zhong would act so decisively.

"The third time."

Pulling the sword body out of Mu Li's chest, watching him slowly fall to the ground, Meng Zhong ignored the fact that the armor on his body was splashed with blood, pinched the sword body with his left hand, wiped the blood on the blade, and immediately put the sword into the sheath, and said calmly and indifferently: "It's not more than three." ”

“……”

For a moment, there was silence.

Immediately, the rest of the people who had been arranged by Zhao Ben earlier took the opportunity to shout: "This kid, this kid dares to kill our army Tongze......

"Kill him!"

"Kill him to avenge Mu Li!"

Hearing this, the five hundred soldiers were also a little angry, and even a few soldiers had already rushed towards Meng Zhong, so that Zhao Ben stood by Meng Zhong's side for the first time and scolded those soldiers to return to the queue.

That's right, although he intended to obstruct Meng Zhong, it didn't mean that he wanted Meng Zhong to die here - after all, if Meng Zhong really died in the military camp of Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao, Zhao Master Father alone would not be able to explain, not to mention that Meng Zhong was still a disciple of Zhuangzi and the righteous brother of Hui An, an important minister of the Song State.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ben shouted: "All stand back!" ”

At this time, looking at Meng Zhong, there was no surprise on his face, he looked at the few soldiers who came out without authorization, and said expressionlessly: "The first time." ”

“……”

Looking at Meng Zhong, who was covered in blood, the soldiers who originally wanted to rush forward felt a palpitation for no reason, and subconsciously stopped, and immediately under Zhao Ben's repeated reprimands, they slipped back to the original array.

At this time, everyone present woke up to what Meng Zhong meant by the first and second time that this kid had just said to Mu Li.

Ignoring the corpse of Mu Li who fell to the ground, Meng Zhong looked at all the soldiers present, and said in a deep voice: "The new generals are in charge of the army, most of them want to kill people and establish authority, even if Sun Wu and Wu Qi are the same, I don't want to kill people, I just want to follow the example of "Shang Jun (Wei Ying)" in the past, so that I can establish the initial trust of the upper and lower levels of the guard, however, there are people who have made several obstructions and secretly obstructed me, and they have to force me to kill people and establish power!" ”

Speaking of this, he instructed the brothers Le Jin and Le Xu to open the two wooden boxes full of wealth, and immediately looked at the five hundred soldiers present and said in a deep voice: "The matter has come to this, and Meng simply made it clear. …… In these two boxes, there are 5,000 cloth coins rewarded by Lord Zhao's father, and whoever is the first to move this log to the camp gate will be rewarded with 500 pieces; And the rest of those who are willing to join our faith guard shall divide the remaining four thousand five hundred in equal shares. These riches are not meant to buy people's hearts, but to build trust in each other! …… If anyone does not want to join the Faith Guard, they should also listen to it. However, if anyone dares to interfere again, they will not be forgiven! …… The corpse on the ground is what happened to him! ”

Speaking of this, Meng Zhong raised his voice and shouted: "That's it, it's your turn to make a choice!" ”

“……”

In a brief dead silence, five hundred soldiers looked at each other, and in an instant, they all rushed to the log, so that even Wu Ying was startled by these people.

"It's mine!"

"Mine!"

"I touched it first!"

Looking at the hundreds of soldiers who were snatching the log, Jun Zuo Zhao Ben sighed helplessly, because in his opinion, these five hundred soldiers were probably already "surnamed Meng".

Although he had the intention to obstruct it, he had no choice but to make the other party's city government deeper and more sophisticated.

"This kid...... Is it really only fifteen?'

Secretly observing Meng Zhong not far away, Zhao Ben felt incredible.
