In Cangxian County, since the failure of the night attack, the main general Sima You, and the commander of the left army, Yang Xing, were killed, the imperial army was stationed here.

Regardless of the geographical location, the city fortifications are not the best choice, but just an ordinary small county town. But the newly defeated Imperial Army had no better choice, and now they just wanted a place to stay.

As Yan Liang guessed, the temporary commander of the Imperial Front Army at this moment was Xue Lu. He is also a member of the Right Army, an old man who once followed Zhou Fang.

In the entire imperial army, he is the only one who has this prestige at the moment, so that everyone can obey his orders. Others, such as Sima You's henchmen, didn't think about coming by themselves. But they could not be convinced, and they used to be insults, and they were among those who beat and reviled the soldiers. In terms of meritorious deeds, there are bound to be no such people among those who sympathize with their subordinates. How can we convince the people by doing so? Especially now, their backer is dead.

"General, someone is coming."

Xue Lu was holding the map and studying how to use tactics, when a herald said outside the tent.

"Come in."

Xue Lu put down the map and said.

"General, someone is coming."

"Who?"

"The former commander of the Right Army, Jian Sheng, Jian General."

"He? What did he come to do? ”

Xue Lu frowned, the most important thing to come at this moment is Xiao Yu's talent, right. How did Jian Sheng come? The Northern Army, the Northland Family, and even Xue Lu, the Left Minister, all thought that they might come back to find him, but his old boss, Xue Lu really didn't think about it.

"Invite him in."

The person who came was a guest, and besides, he was his old boss, so Xue Lu naturally would not turn him away.

"It's just a little more than a month, and the majestic imperial army has actually arrived in this field, and it is really an incompetent general, tired to death of the three armies!"

As soon as he entered the big tent, Jian Sheng looked up and down, this was obviously a hastily built Chinese army tent, and then said in a somewhat ridiculous tone.

"You're here to say this? Now that Sima You and his arrogant nephew are dead, why do you bother to be sarcastic? ”

Jian Sheng said these words, and it was not unexpected by Xue Lu. In other words, whoever is treated like this will be dissatisfied.

"I'm not here to make fun of the dead man. Anyway, I am also a member of the Imperial Army, and besides, this Imperial Army was established by General Zhou. ”

"General Zhou......"

At the mention of Zhou Fang, not only Jian Sheng was a little sad, but even Xue Lu fell into silence.

"No matter what General Zhou is, it's already in the past. Listening to your tone, it seems that you are here to be a lobbyist? Say, you're going to be a lobbyist for that house now? Northland family or right phase? ”

In Xue Lu's view, there are only these two possibilities. Qin Xiu and Zhou Fang can be said to be mortal enemies, and with their loyalty to Zhou Fang, it is impossible to take refuge in Qin Xiu if they are killed.

And Xiao Yu's side may also ignore it, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that Xiao Yu is afraid that he is the one who framed Jian Sheng.

"Neither, I'm here to persuade you to join the Northern Army."

Jian Sheng shook his head and gave an answer that surprised Xue Lu.

"What! You don't know ......"

This Xue Lu really didn't expect that Jian Sheng would actually join and frame him, could it be that he didn't know?

"I know what you're trying to say." Jian Sheng raised his hand to interrupt Xue Lu's words.

"That's right, I was framed by Xiao Yu, but it doesn't seem to hinder me, I take refuge in him, right? Is it less than all these years? For now, you might as well consider thinking about the future of the Imperial Army! ”

"What do you mean?"

Since everyone knew each other and knew each other so well, Xue Lu also felt that it was not interesting to continue to try. Just be open and honest, sit down and have a good talk.

Sima You and Xiao Yu have grievances, but he Xue Lu does not. Let's talk about it, find a way out for yourself and your brothers, and even a future for Jingxiu is the right thing.

"Surrender! Thou hast brought all the people unto my lord. ”

He was also happy to rise, and immediately said his purpose.

"I know this, and what I want to ask is, what do I, and the brothers, get?"

"What do you get? What do you want? ”

Jian Shengdang asked Xue Lu rhetorically.

"I don't care what your purpose is, I just want it here!"

Saying that, Xue Lu pointed to the ground and said, "I was originally from this northern land, and in order to be able to do something, I went to the south extension. After experiencing some rights and wrongs, he joined the Imperial Front Army, which was being prepared. At the moment, I don't want to fight and kill, and live a life of licking blood with a knife, I want this to be too cool! ”

"What's the law? Do you still want to be the king? ”

Jian Sheng looked at Xue Lu up and down as if he had seen Xue Lu on the first day, why didn't he see that his subordinate was so ambitious before?

"No, no, no, I'm not crazy."

Xue Lu shook his head and said: "Tailiang Prefecture is all Zuo Xiang's people from the Assassin History to Taishou, and now if you kill Sima You, you will completely break with Zuo Xiang." Naturally, his people can't be used anymore, I know that you and the family must have an agreement, but I don't care what agreement there is between you, I only need the position of Tailiangzhou Assassin! ”

"The history of a state assassin is exchanged for 60,000 soldiers and horses, and the armor is complete, and they are all on the battlefield and have seen blood, no matter how you look at it, you will not lose! Besides, I'm on your side, so naturally we'll advance and retreat together, so why not? ”

After saying that, Xue Lu kept looking at Jian Sheng, and he was waiting for Jian Sheng's reply.

"The history of the Tailiang State thorn? You're a military attaché, can you take care of a state? ”

Jian Sheng is also in a dilemma, these 60,000 soldiers and horses must be in hand, otherwise how can he be a pioneer? How to enter the South Extension? How to complete General Zhou's will?

But the position of Tailiangzhou Assassin is not something he can decide, this is a big party and a feudal official! Especially at present, Tailiangzhou is their only territory, and if they are not carefully taken care of, there will inevitably be chaos in the future.

"You don't have to worry about it, you just need to answer whether I say yes or no!"

"This ...... Do you guarantee that you can convince Sima You to stay? ”

"As long as you promise, tomorrow I will lead the people to surrender!"

Xue Lu looked like he was nine out of ten, which made Jian Sheng feel a lot more relieved.

"Good! I'm down! ”

Jian Sheng doesn't care whether he has the power or not, he will stabilize the other party first, this is 60,000 soldiers and horses, as long as he takes down these 60,000 troops. It doesn't hurt to break your promise once!

"Good! Then it's a word, you go back and let Xiao Yu know, I hope I can hear Xiao Yu personally agree when I come tomorrow. ”

"If you know I can't be the master, why waste time with me?"

"General, this is the last time I call you General, for the sake of many years of love, I will give Xiao Yu a chance, no matter who he takes refuge in, I will decide the position of this assassin!"

"Someone, send off!"
