Chapter 19: Before the War
This Qian always stood tall and shook his head on the steed, looking high, and his eyes kept staring around. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
This Qian always looked at the envious eyes of the people around him, he was very satisfied, his waist straightened up, and he immediately got energetic, he enjoyed this feeling very much.
After a while, under the leadership of the soldiers of the Lieshan Battalion, this Qian Zong came to the front of the Zhenwu Dart Bureau, he looked at the two stone lions in front of the door, and his heart was suddenly shocked.
Under the reminder of the soldiers of the Lieshan Battalion, this Qian always reluctantly dismounted and followed the soldiers into the dart game.
This Qian Zong looked at the inside of the Zhenwu Dart Bureau, and was very shocked in his heart, he had never seen this kind of building.
The Zhenwu Dart Bureau was established by Li Zhongju according to the unique castle of later generations, and this Qian Zong was of course very surprised.
After the soldier of the Lieshan Battalion notified his superiors, he returned to the city gate, and when he left, he glanced at the Qian Zong with disdainful eyes, and the little soldier suddenly felt that this Qian Zong was simply a dirt bun.
This Qian Zong was brought into Li Zhongju's study by a dart master, and this was the first time he met Li Zhongju, the big boss of the Zhenwu Chamber of Commerce.
This Qian always found that Li Zhongju was different from ordinary people, and he didn't have braids. With short hair, shiny light, and very dignified, he felt that even Lord Zhizhou might not have such dignity.
Li Zhongju said lightly, "Liu Baoshan sent you, what's the matter?" ā
This Qian Zong felt a thrill in his heart, but immediately he remembered that there were 5,000 troops under the command of Lord Zhizhou, and he suddenly became confident.
This Qian Zong said unashamedly, "My family Zhizhou Lord said, give you one last chance, as long as you are willing to surrender, Zhizhou Lord can consider leaving your life." Otherwise, when the city is broken, it will be the day of the destruction of the Zhenwu Chamber of Commerce. ā
Li Zhongju said with a smile, "Do you think Liu Baoshan, the governor of your family, can win?" ā
This Qian Zong said in a deep voice, "My family Zhizhou has an army of 5,000 people, five bottles of artillery, and the city is just around the corner, just ask what you can do to block the powerful artillery of five bottles." ā
Li Zhongju snorted coldly, "It's not bothering you guys, not to mention five bottles of artillery, it's fifty bottles of artillery, what is my town martial arts chamber of commerce afraid of?" ā
This Qian Zong still stubbornly said, "Your Zhenwu Chamber of Commerce will no longer consider it?" ā
Li Zhongju said angrily, "Go back and tell Liu Baoshan Lao'er, it's best to go back with an army of five thousand, I don't think anything happened, if he really dares to attack the county seat, I will let him not even have a chance to regret it." ā
This Qian Zong was shocked and speechless, and in the end he could only withdraw from the Zhenwu Dart Bureau tremblingly and bring back Li Zhongju's words intact. As for how Lord Zhizhou handles it, it is not something that he, a small person, can control.
At this time, Liu Baoshan's army had already come to a place less than three miles away from Tianzhu County and set up camp here.
Although Liu Baoshan knew that Li Zhongju would refuse, he didn't expect Li Zhongju to be so rampant, and Liu Baoshan's face turned green with anger.
Liu Qing and his father learned the result at the same time, he saw that Zhizhou was very angry, and immediately said, "Dad, why don't we attack the county seat now, and take Tianzhu County one day earlier, we will be at ease one day earlier." ā
Liu Baoshan pondered for a moment and said, "Qing'er, you notify all the generals to come to the big tent to discuss matters." ā
Liu Qing immediately responded, "It's Lord Zhizhou, my son will do it immediately." ā
After a while, more than a dozen generals walked into the big tent in the middle.
Everyone said in unison, "See Lord Zhizhou for the inferior rank." ā
Liu Baoshan looked very natural, "The generals will be exempted." ā
Everyone stood up, and they all looked at Lord Zhizhou with an angry face, and they were all a little panicked in their hearts, they knew that this Lord Zhizhou was a Shangguan who ate people and didn't spit out bones.
Liu Baoshan sat above and looked down at the dozen or so generals, "Benzhou has decided to attack Tianzhu County tomorrow, I hope you will be ready today, and Benzhou will not hope that someone will drop the chain tomorrow." ā
"Obey the order." The crowd replied with a loud voice.
Liu Baoshan looked at Cao Shoubei, who was standing at the front, "Cao Shoubei, how are your musketeers and the five bottles of artillery prepared?" ā
Cao Shoubei immediately replied, "My subordinate Lord Huiyu, the five hundred musketeers have been training recently, and the five cannons are all in place, and the hundred shells are also in place, ready to fight at any time. ā
Liu Baoshan finally smiled, "Okay, Cao Shoubei is really a fierce general, whether our army can crush the opponent this time depends on Cao Shoubei." ā
Cao Shoubei immediately assured, "Please rest assured, the last general will definitely let the enemy see the power of artillery." ā
Liu Baoshan said again, "Everyone, our Zhenyuan Mansion is a medium-sized government in Guizhou Province, but this Li Zhongju has made a fortune in the past year, and he has reported to the emperor for his favor and the people of An, and we have the obligation to exterminate him." ā
Liu Baoshan continued, "In order to exterminate the Zhenwu Chamber of Commerce this time, Benzhou will take out 10,000 taels of silver, and when the thieves are successful, I will give it to you." ā
When everyone heard the ten thousand taels of silver, their eyes lit up, and they all became excited, and they seemed to have put the silver in their hands.
Everyone said in unison, "Thank you, Lord Zhizhou, I will do my best to do things for my lord." ā
The pigtailed man hid in the corner, watching all this, thinking in his heart how he could get some silver, not a thousand taels, even a hundred taels.
Liu Qing heard that his father was going to take out 10,000 taels of silver, and he felt distressed for a while, it was 10,000 taels of silver, but after thinking about it, if he could win the Zhenwu Chamber of Commerce, it would be more than 100,000 silver, and even if the Zhenwu Chamber of Commerce was run well, it would not be a problem to earn hundreds of thousands of taels.
Liu Qing showed a hint of evil smile, he had already begun to plan, how could he get the Zhenwu Chamber of Commerce to break through Tianzhu County.
In the end, Liu Baoshan arranged some more things, and asked everyone to return to the camp to prepare for battle. Liu Baoshan turned to Liu Qing and said, "Qing'er, you will also move with the army tomorrow morning." ā
Liu Qing was overjoyed, "It's Dad." ā
Liu Baoshan waved his hand and asked Liu Qing to go down to rest, Liu Baoshan stayed alone in the camp, and he began to fantasize about the scene of capturing Tianzhu County tomorrow.
A gloomy cloud shrouded the entire Zhenyuan Mansion, and many county magistrates looked at the cloudy sky and sighed, they all understood in their hearts. Zhizhou Liu Baoshan took a fancy to the money of the Zhenwu Chamber of Commerce, so he would provoke an incident in order to swallow the Zhenwu Chamber of Commerce.
What about the county orders of each county, although they are very dissatisfied with Liu Baoshan's approach, they are powerless. They all know that Liu Baoshan is an insatiable and cruel Zhizhou.
In any case, they all expressed pity for Li Zhongju, but it was a pity that the young man was talented, if he could have a room to play, I am afraid that even if he became the minister of Zhongxing, it was not impossible. But there is no chance, never again.
They didn't think that Li Zhongju still had the slightest chance under Liu Baoshan's majesty.
No one noticed that tonight's Crape Myrtle Emperor Star was particularly bright, glowing with a faint purple light, enveloping the entire southwest.
