"I've seen the military advisor, Zuo Baichang, the general asked me to come and tell you, so that you can quickly return to the herdsmen to discuss matters. Vertex Small Say X 23 U OM"

Seeing that the herdsman Hu Qi spoke fluent Central Plains dialect, Xu Wenjing and Zuo Shuo couldn't help but be curious, he knew that the herdsmen admired the Central Plains etiquette, but it was rare for the Central Plains to speak so smoothly among the entire herdsmen.

Xu Wenjing said: "It's okay, I am also about to go to the herdsman to meet the general, report what I heard on this trip, and trouble this warrior to lead the way." ”

The Hu cavalry said: "The military advisor is polite, and I will show you the way in front of you." With that, he pulled the reins and walked slowly to the front.

Along the way, Zuo Shuo asked curiously, "Who did I say, how did you say so neatly in your Central Plains dialect?"

The herdsman cavalry turned sideways slightly, and said to Zuo Shuo: "If you go back to Zuo Baichang, my name is Akyi, and of course there is a Central Plains name called Luohu, the patriarch has always taught us to move closer to the Central Plains etiquette, and I will say it over time." ”

Zuo Shuo nodded, and looked at Luo Hu with a little more cordiality in his eyes, and said in his heart that although this guy is a Hu man, his behavior and speech are almost no different from the people of Dazhou, and there is no obstacle to communication.

"This herdsman is indeed an object that can be wooed, and the decision to let them be pawns is correct, but no matter how the herdsmen understand the etiquette of the Central Plains, after all, they are Hu people, and they still need some means to make them completely surrender." Xu Wenjing rode his horse behind them, looking at Zuo Shuo and Luohu and talking with the horses, and had already begun to calculate in his heart how to deal with the relationship between the herdsmen and the Jingwei camp.

……

"Thank you, general, these grains, grass, and armor are really a godsend to my people!"

In the big tent of the herdsman, Mu Feng sat on the right side, and expressed his gratitude to Liu Ce in the main seat with an excited face.

Liu Ce took a sip of the wine brewed by the herdsmen, frowned, and said to Mu Feng: "These days, this general is still not used to drinking your wine. "At the same time, the scale of agricultural development under the rule of the dark road is not considered to be the winemaking industry, the Far East is so cold, it is necessary to store some fermented high-grade liquor.

Mu Feng said embarrassedly when he heard this: "General, this is the condition in the clan, you can just take it." ”

Liu Ce stopped and said: "I'll just say casually, Mufeng Patriarch, you don't need to care, since your department has knelt under the command of General Ben, the required grain and grass soldiers General Jiaben will make it for you, and now your Fengbu soldiers are already in full armor, and then there are other herdsmen's departments, I don't know how the Mufeng Patriarch has discussed with them these days?" ”

Mu Feng said: "Back to the general's words, my brother Mu Kuo has no objection, he has agreed to belong to the general, but other tribes ......"

Liu Ce saw that Mu Feng's face was embarrassed, and knew that this matter was not done, so he immediately got up and patted him on the shoulder: "I also know that this matter makes Patriarch Mu Feng very difficult, why don't you do this, you will invite your patriarch Mu Luo and the patriarchs of all tribes to meet for me, and I will personally set up a banquet to talk to them, what do you think?" ”

When Mu Feng heard this, he immediately felt relieved and said: "If the general is willing to go out in person, then it would be better, I will do it......"

Liu Ce nodded: "In this case, without further ado, please send someone to run again, Patriarch Mufeng." ”

Mu Feng said: "No, I will go in person, please stay here for a few days......"

Liu Ce nodded and said, "Okay, be sure to invite all the fourteen patriarchs of the herdsmen, and I will wait for you in the clan tent." ”

"Clan?"

Mu Feng's heart trembled when he heard this, and he just wanted to ask, but he saw Liu Ce say unhurriedly: "The patriarch of the clan has already joined my Jingwei camp, and I will also go there to understand the situation. ”

When Mu Feng saw Liu Ce say this, he could only leave, but he was very uncomfortable in his heart, because the grievances between Mu Feng could never be resolved in a few words.

When Liu Ce saw Mu Feng leaving, the smile on his face was swept away, replaced by endless indifference......

Not long after Mu Feng left, the curtain was opened again, and Xu Wenjing and Zuo Shuo immediately entered the tent and met Liu Ce.

Without waiting for Liu Ce to reply, Xu Wenjing came to the brazier, put his hand on the brazier and baked it for a while, then came to the table again, picked up the bowl of hot wine that Liu Ce had drunk before and poured it into his mouth.

"Poof...... cough cough cough ......"

As soon as she took a big sip, Xu Wenjing couldn't help but spit it out, and shook her head while coughing and said, "What kind of broken wine is this, so unpalatable?" Zuo Baichang, give me your wine bag. ”

Seeing Zuo Shuo handing the wine bag to Xu Wenjing, Liu Ce reclined on the Qiu mat and quietly watched all this in front of him.

"It's really not as good as my wine in Yuanzhou."

Xu Wenjing took a sip of the wine handed over by Zuo Shuo, and then settled down and said, "General, you are in a hurry to summon us back, what's the matter?"

Liu Ce said: "Don't be in a hurry, tell me what happened to the righteous army?" ”

Xu Wenjing smiled disdainfully: "A group of rabble, there are tens of thousands of people but only guarding a few manor villages in order to protect themselves, this Bao Xin'an has no ambition, and he doesn't know the current affairs, this kind of person is the head of the rebel army, no wonder the situation in Jizhou has not improved at all in the past ten years, but will become more and more chaotic." ”

Liu Ce smiled: "It seems that the military advisor already has a plan in his heart?"

Xu Wenjing said coldly: "Exactly, how can such an ambitious person be worthy of being the leader of the rebel army, only ......" As he spoke, he made a gesture to wipe his neck.

"The military advisor and I want to go together." Liu Ce was not surprised to see this, because in order to successfully take over this rebel army, Bao Xin'an and his henchmen and those high-level generals must all be executed before they can stop, "Just do it together, I have already ordered Mu Feng to go and gather the chiefs of the various tribes of the herdsmen to meet with the clan station, and invite Bao Xin'an and his henchmen to ...... together."

"The general is wise." Xu Wenjing was very excited when he saw Liu Ce say this, "In this way, the general can not only make the herdsmen return to their hearts, but also harvest a strong Jizhou army, and it won't be long before the entire south will be under the general's command." ”

Liu Ce said: "Since the plan has been decided, if you think about the specific details, you must be foolproof." ”

Xu Wenjing said: "Don't worry, general, I have made all the best measures, and this scapegoat already has a target......

"Ku ......," Liu Ce said lightly.

Xu Wenjing fell, and immediately bowed down and saluted: "I really can't hide it from the general......"

Liu Ce waved his hand to stop him and said, "I didn't bring you here today for this matter, but another thing I want to discuss with the military advisor." ”

"General, please." Xu Wenjing simply sat cross-legged in front of Liu Ce.

Liu Ce said: "Mr. Qin sent someone to send a letter, the imperial court's announcement to reward the angel has almost arrived in Yuanzhou, and after the herdsmen are pacified, I have to go back to Yuanzhou to deal with it personally, and Jizhou will entrust you with more thought." ”

Xu Wenjing said: "The general broke Hu Nu this time, although all the heads were taken in exchange for benefits, but this kind of major event The royal court will definitely be suspicious, just imagine that the military camps in the Far East are beaten by the Hulan people every year, why has the situation changed so much in just half a year after the general arrived in Yuanzhou?" This time, the reward is fake, come to find out whether Yuanzhou is true or not, general, you have to take corresponding precautions. ”

Liu Ce nodded, and acquiesced to Xu Wenjing's words: "Moreover, this trip to Jizhou, I was secretly carried out by the Far Eastern scholars and the people, and it is not appropriate to go out now, at this time, if Jiang Xun and other scholars and clans know, I am afraid that there will be an incident that will lead to the instability of the Han Tomb in the rear and affect the strategy of Jizhou, so it is really not suitable for me to stay here for a long time, then Song Jinghao has come to me many times, and Mr. Qin has prevaricated for various reasons, if he does not show up again, he will be suspicious." ”

Xu Wenjing pondered for a while and said: "This is the negligence of his subordinates, who only focused on Jizhou, but omitted many unfavorable factors in the rear, please forgive the general." ”

Liu Ce said: "This is not to blame the military division, the situation in Yuanzhou is complex and unpredictable, and I really think about everything, I don't need to think about stepping into Jizhou for half a step in ten years, and I want to discuss with you how to face Jinsheng, the old gelding, for today's plan." ”

Xu Wenjing said with a smile: "General, the divine capital is thousands of miles away, even though he is Jinsheng and has the emperor's favor, can he get a general here?" What's more, the Jiang family will definitely not watch the royal family settle in the Far East, so it is better to take this opportunity to seek some benefits from him, and be anti-guest-oriented, and not too passive. ”

After listening to Xu Wenjing's words, Liu Ce lowered his head and thought for a moment, and soon had a plan in his heart: "Thank you for the reminder, General Ben knows what to do." ”

Xu Wenjing saw that Liu Ce understood so quickly and didn't say much, and secretly said in his heart that this young general really had the courage to achieve great things in the future. Then he glanced at Zuo Shuo behind him, and said to Liu Ce again: "General, there is something that my subordinates don't know whether to talk about or not......

Liu Ce said: "Strategist, you have always been quick to talk, why did you suddenly become hypocritical? Say, what's the matter?"

Xu Wenjing said softly: "General, this is about your family affairs, and my subordinates know that they shouldn't mention it at this time, but Wen Jing has been holding back for a long time these days, so don't vomit and be unhappy now." ”

Liu Ce smiled: "This is rare, military advisor, you are still in charge of the general's private affairs?" Say, what's the matter? If there's something I'm not satisfied with, just bring it up and see if I can change it. ”

Xu Wenjing took a deep breath and said, "General, your subordinates know that Miss Song is in your house, and her subordinates can feel your affection for you, so why don't you take this opportunity to tie the knot with her?" ”

Liu Ce was silent when he heard this, he just lowered his head and thought deeply.

Seeing that Liu Ce didn't speak, Xu Wenjing said again: "General, this is not only a private matter, but also a public matter, for the sake of the future of the entire Jingwei Battalion, please do the marriage as soon as possible." ”

Liu Ce heard Xu Wenjing say this, and knew what the official business he was referring to, now the Jingwei Camp has a good future, as long as he and Song Yanran marry and have children, then the soldiers and people under his command will be more able to settle down, but Liu Ce still can't get over the hurdle in his heart......

After a long time, Liu Ce raised his head and said to Xu Wenjing: "What the military advisor said, this general has written it down, and it will not be too late to talk about it after Jizhou is pacified." ”

Xu Wenjing said softly when she heard this: "General, as soon as possible, don't live up to the expectations of Miss Song and the soldiers under your command." ”

"Are you starting to learn to force the palace? Naive, who can force me to do what I don't want to do? When Liu Ce saw Xu Wenjing say this, he couldn't help but slightly chin his eyes and sneered in his heart.
