Sure enough, in this cold and cruel world, only Naiko can warm people's hearts.

Just as Zhou Huai'an was savoring the taste of "Twenty-four Bridges and Bright Moon Night" and "Jiao Ji's face was like flowers and dew"; And it is about to go from the state of distraction and emotional obsession of "Yinghu Ning Jiao is not entering", and even coaxing and deception to the stage of "Yushu Streamer Illuminating the Backyard", and there is an inopportune report outside.

Zhou Huai'an also had to be driven by a basic sense of responsibility to try to resist the instinct to stop; Reluctantly let go of the beauty who was already a "waiter to help up the delicate and weak", and she was so comforting that she straightened her skirt and appearance, so that she quietly left from behind the tent.

However, it was Dong Chang, who was missing on the battlefield, that Dong Chang had some news, and this news was personally sent to the door. Half a ring later, on the occasion of the re-elevation, a messenger wearing a short armor and a head was ushered in.

"In Xiatian, Qian Gumei, the town of Shijingdu in Hangzhou, came to negotiate the moment on the orders of Dong Tuanlian of the Eight Capitals."

The other party is not tall but very stocky, and his skin has the roughness and blackness of a seaside family. The facial features are flattened, the appearance is unremarkable, but the eyes are bright, and the voice is deep and powerful with a Wu accent, and the overall appearance is very capable and sophisticated.

"I don't know what Dong Chang's plans are. Are you preparing to meet in one place for a decisive battle?"

Zhou Huai'an bowed slightly. In my heart, I was a little excited and secretly said, after paying attention to you for so long, I finally saw you, the "Sea Dragon King" and "Lord Wu Yue".

"Definitely. Before coming down, Dong Tuanlian explained first, and my Badu military horses have always had close traffic with the nobles outside the mountains, and there are endless exchanges. ”

Qian Gumei, who didn't know it, was confident and lowered his posture.

"Even in this town and Haiti, the slightest misunderstanding and conflict should not affect the friendly exchanges between our two families in the future. It is because now that my family is training the envoys, there is still a proposition that everyone takes what they need and has the best of both worlds, and is willing to serve in front of the army. ”

"Oh, but I'd like to hear about it."

Zhou Huai'an said undeniably.

"Can you please hold back left and right, so as not to lose the rumor?"

Qian Gumei couldn't help but ask again with a little embarrassment.

"Those present are the most reliable and faithful men in our army, and there is nothing to say to him."

Zhou Huaian sneered, and took the opportunity to brush up on the overflowing emotion and loyalty of the audience.

"If you still want to continue to play tricks in front of me, then don't say anything else, please take care of yourself."

"Maybe I hope to borrow from your ministry to act."

Qian Gumei, who was focused by the rather unkind gaze present, couldn't help but smile bitterly and compromised after struggling for a moment.

According to his statement, which is full of subtle hints. It seems that after Dong Chang's subordinates saw the successive defeats of several other officers and soldiers, they also started to think differently. At least after defeating the main force of the rebel army led by Gai Hong, but not doing its best, he had already retreated; I don't want to fight to the death with the rest of the rebel forces led by the Taiping Army.

Therefore, the other party hopes to get the cooperation of the Taiping Army, which has had the "righteousness of old friendship", and put on a "high-profile" offensive and defensive show near Dantu. thought that he had proved that as the only remaining main force of the officers and troops along the way, he had gone all out to help the town navy; It's just that he didn't catch his strength so that under the "heavy losses" and "heavy results", he had to retreat and leave without regretting defeat.

And as the price of the corresponding role-playing, the other party can send a few real officers and soldiers to the plate of the Taiping army at the right opportunity; And it can also use several cities in the neighboring Su, Chang, and Hu as a means of compensation and exchange in the subsequent retreat of the Hangzhou regiment training army.

"This reasoning may be somewhat feasible, but the specific circumstances and terms are allowed for me to discuss with the left and right."

Zhou Huai'an pretended to think for a moment before saying.

"Since you're here, let's be a good guest in our army. Dong Chang's side sent someone else to get the phone back. ”

"I'm afraid there's something wrong with this, it's just the so-called two armies fighting."

Qian Gumei was suddenly shocked in her heart, and pleaded repeatedly.

"Did you misunderstand something? I'm just asking you to stay for a while, and it's also convenient for you to continue to communicate in the future, so why not threaten your net worth with your life.。? ”

Zhou Huai'an waved his hand to interrupt him.

"Or is it possible that before you came, Dong Chang didn't tell you to take the opportunity to investigate the truth in the Taiping army, and just let you see that there is nothing unspeakable in our army."

And Qian Gumei looked forward to the generals standing in the tent, but found that there was no superfluous emotions such as surprise and surprise, as if any decision made by this person was taken for granted; Qian Gumei couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart, this virtual monk's mastery of the army is really terrifying.

"Then there is labor. It's been a while."

He finally sighed, and accepted the reality of being a hostage in disguise. After all, he had already considered this situation and possibility before coming here.

"Leader, isn't this guy also from a different background?"

Mi Bao, the marquis on duty and the captain of the teaching team, opened his mouth to inquire.

Because as far as he knows, the facts prove that this lord has a very unique vision, and over the years he has almost seen it accurately, and has dropped out many people of all kinds of origins and identities, but also have unique features or skills.

"It's okay, there are only a handful of commendable figures under Dong Chang's command,"

Zhou Huai'an smiled incomprehensibly and said vaguely to him.

"Without this potential help, what you want to do in the future will undoubtedly be much more effective with half the effort."

After all, abiding by the principles and bottom line is not as pedantic as it is not the same. This is obviously the son of the plane with the luck of the times and one of the protagonists of the historical stage; They have all been sent to the door by themselves, so why don't they take advantage of the opportunity of their limited status and status and have not yet been able to emerge to control it quickly, do they want to add chicken legs to the hostile camp for the New Year.

。。。。。。

Soon after, with the messenger galloping away.

In the south of Runzhou, Liyang County, which borders Xuanzhou and Changzhou, is in the camp under the fruit mountain. Dong Chang, the training envoy of Hangzhou Badu, who was dressed in a cloak and patrolling the drills of his subordinates, also squinted his eyes and laughed when he got the news of the reply.

"So, very well. This Lord of the Peace Thieves is also a rare wonderful person."

He was born in Lin'an, a powerful family with a wide range of land and villages; Since childhood, he has a wide nose and a square mouth, and he is very powerful. As a result, in the early years, there was a physiognomist who said that his appearance was as different as a lion and tiger, and he should be extremely noble.

Therefore, he gathered his life early and practiced Zhuang Ding as a subordinate, and took advantage of Wang Ying's rebellion to break his family, so that he was able to achieve the pattern and atmosphere of Hangzhou, a rich county with eight towns as his wings.

Of course, he thinks that he should achieve great things in this life, and he will not be satisfied with the current pattern and gains and losses; However, with the deterrence and restraint of the Zhenhai Jiedu envoy, these local forces in eastern Zhejiang may be able to invade and plunder each other through enmity, but they cannot justifiably occupy and annex each other, and further strengthen themselves.

But fortunately, although this troubled world is certainly a purgatory for honest and good people, there is always no shortage of opportunities for careerists and speculators. Soon, the Yellow Rebel Thief Army in the Nanpai Mountains rose into turmoil again and swept southeast.

Even Hangzhou, on the southeast coast where he is located, was not spared, and was almost taken advantage of by the rebels and thieves who sprang up within the territory; And Ling, who claimed to be tens of thousands, once attacked near Hangzhou; It was broken and captured by the children of the Eight Towns whom he used to share the same hatred.

It is also justifiable to expand the army in the local area, and to fill the reservoir under the rule in the name of defending Tu'an Township; He also won the opportunity to meet Zhou Bao, the envoy of the Navy Festival in the town, and received the title of Hangzhou Assassin.

And this time, when ordered to fight against the thief Runzhou, the children of the eight towns of Hangzhou each sent one battalion to several battalions according to their strength; Coupled with the united soldiers in the city of Hangzhou, the township brave Ding Zhuang who gathered from the four fields along the way, and finally arrived in Runzhou, which has reached 20,000 people, and is known as a strong soldier for a while.

Wu Xuan, Qin Changyu, Lu Qin, Zhu Zhan, Dong Zhen, Li Chang, Xue Liao and others under his command are all brave people or former reckless heroes; It also brought the monk Ying Zhi, the Taoist Wang Wen, the sorcerer Han Yuan and other people of different directions, thinking that they would seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and turn evil into good fortune and fortune counselors and fortune tellers.

Therefore, to say that among the three armies that came to Runzhou to fight for thieves, his mind is the most complicated, but it is also the biggest beneficiary today. At least compared to Zhang Quan, the Mingzhou Navy who is bent on performance, or Gao Ba, the leader of the Taizhou Zhuzhen Alliance, who is greedy and wants to take care of both;

He has always been good at preserving his strength and only staring at the attack of grass thieves, and does not care about the gains and losses of a city or a place; Not only did he repeatedly defeat the thieves with equipment, money and food, but also collected several defeated thieves, and made his command stronger and stronger.

However, it is precisely these thieves who surrender and take refuge as a cover; He was able to gather a crowd at the junction of the three states, and temporarily avoided the eyes, ears and eyes of all parties. And in the end, he waited for the turnaround and the deed he wanted.

Now that the envoy of Zhenhai Jiedu is already trapped by the enemy and has no time to take care of himself, if he can take this opportunity to get more fame and power, he will undoubtedly be able to do whatever he wants in the local area, and seek the capital of a feudal town.

"Come on, light up the people and horses, make a fire, make a meal, and eat to your heart's content."

Then he ordered to the left and right.

"Come to the next day and I will lead the division to the north, and we will have a good meeting with this 'virtual monk'."

"Then Qian Vice Town and Shijingdu, how to be good."

Later, some of Fang's subordinates asked for instructions.

"Qian Poliu, that is a figure that the void monk particularly values and praises, and it is also my intention to send him as an envoy this time. But they didn't want him to be kept by thieves,"

Hearing this name, Dong Chang couldn't help but feel a little concerned and guilty.

"But with that person's fancy, even if he is a thief for a while, there must not be too many obstacles. It's just that the affairs of the next battalions in Shijingdu will require you to pay more attention. ”

The stone mirror capital produced in Lin'an County has always been the first of the eight (county) capitals of Hangzhou, and it is also the foundation of Dong Chang's beginning. There are 3,000 soldiers and five battalions all year round, and this time it is the fourth battalion to be commanded by Qian Biao, the deputy and general of the town, which can be said to be a subordinate who followed the left and right in the early years.

However, since he learned from some rumors that the master of the thief army praised and favored Qian Poliu, he couldn't help but leave a little bit of mustard and discord in his heart, although he still valued this subordinate very much.

Then, with the strength and ability shown by this Qian Poliu, especially his deep convincing and prestige among the generals, this has also become Dong Chang's superficial joy and hard work, and there is a faint heart disease.

At one time, he was sent to escort the boat, but later he had to be summoned back in order to protect the thief. and not only made great contributions in the battle of Lin'an, but also forced thousands of thieves to surrender in the follow-up pursuit; And it was praised by the people for a while.

Therefore, Dong Chang had something else to think about him in his heart, and he had to reward his merits and be promoted as the deputy of Shi Jingdu in the headquarters of his henchmen, and he was often among the ranks. However, it was rumored that his relationship with the thieves had always lingered in Dong Chang's heart.

This time, he went to negotiate with the thieves, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone, and temporarily avoiding some potential worries and obstacles.
