The Shunzhou army is ready to attack, but when it will act, it will have to wait until the logistics are ready. However, the horn of war is about to sound, which is inevitable, but this time the war, not only the soldiers are not afraid and actively participate, even the people, but also respond, especially the people under the rule of the Shunzhou army, but also look forward to the arrival of the Shunzhou army, and some towns under the army have begun to get out of control.

Commanding the envoy's mansion, Zhao Xun's wives took over the inner mansion. Some people who had the idea of marrying Zhao Xun reluctantly gave up their plans after learning that Zhao Xun had several wives and concubines. Similarly, this also confirms the information that the Shunzhou Army is the Huolin Army. However, the Shunzhou army did not express this, did not admit it, and did not deny it.

After a long absence, Zhao Xun fell into a gentle township, but fortunately, there was no major military affairs to deal with.

"Purple smoke! Don't be depressed, since he has two wives, then don't want him. I don't believe it, with the conditions of our purple smoke girl, we can't find ......"

"Okay, Sister Bing'er, don't talk nonsense!" Listening to Qian Bing's words, Su Ziyan hurriedly stopped. Having said that, Su Ziyan also had a haze in his heart. Although the two ladies were very good to people and polite to themselves, Su Ziyan still felt frustrated together......

When Zhao Xun discussed the military again, he felt surprised, and even some incredible things appeared.

When discussing the battle plan and preparing for the final confirmation, Wei Dong quietly came to Zhao Xun's side. whispered a few words. Zhao Xun looked incredulous at first, then nodded lightly, explained a few words to Wei Dong, and asked him to arrange it first.

All the officers looked at Zhao Xun curiously, and from Zhao Xun's face, they saw a trace of strangeness, but they didn't know what was going on. Looking at everyone's expressions, Zhao Xun said lightly: "The Yan army in the south has sent an envoy. ”

Luo Yi immediately said without hesitation: "Let's kill him!" The rest of the people echoed in unison.

Lu Ziliang frowned and said: "The two armies are fighting, and if they don't kill them, not to mention that they don't know what other people mean!" ”

Luo Yi said disapprerovingly: "They are the Yan Army, what is there to be polite?" Just kill it! ”

Zhao Xun came to the outer hall, and several guards escorted an elderly scholar and four strong retinues standing in the middle of the hall. The four attendants carried two large wooden boxes, not knowing what they contained. This old man who looks like an old scholar looks quite ordinary, there is nothing special, and the lichen on his body is also very ordinary, and it is impossible to deduce the identity of this person in the Yan Army.

When the old scholar saw Zhao Xun, he immediately bent down and said respectfully: "Villain Chu Wei, see the commander." ”

Zhao Xun said with a deep face: "Your name is Chu Wei?" Former Shunzhou government officials? ”

Zhao Xun had seen the information collected by the Eagle Eye Division and the Shadow Division, and there was a mention of this Chu Wei's name in it. The person in front of him was just a small person who was not worth mentioning before, and no one would take a second look. However, when the Yan army invaded, he defected to the Yan army, and used the name of the Shunzhou Mansion to knock on the gate of Zhenning County, and at the same time killed some of the resistance troops in the Shunzhou Mansion.

This person is extremely cunning and capricious, taking advantage of his proximity to the Warrior Army, and at first he was repeatedly co-opted by some officials who intended to contact the Rebel Army and counterattack the Rebel Army, and then betrayed him to obtain the benefits of his superiority. In this way, he became the head of the Han people of the Yan Kingdom in Shunzhou City, and the Shunzhou Mansion was the assassin of the Yan people.

This kind of person, in Zhao Xun's words, must be physically ruined.

Chu Wei lowered his head and said, "Exactly." ”

Zhao Xun said lightly: "The history of the Shunzhou Mansion's assassination, such a big official, what's the matter?" It's not like they're here to exercise power over me! ”

"How dare you! How dare you! Chu Wei said in a low voice, not angry at all for Zhao Xun's words.

Zhao Xun didn't have to compete with such a bastard, and said lightly: "The Yan Army asked you to come?" ”

Chu Wei lowered his head and said, "Exactly." The small one is the general of the Fengjing Army, Lord He Che......"

Zhao Xun waved his hand, interrupted Chu Wei's words, and said casually: "We have nothing to talk about with the Yan Army, come here, pull it out and cut it off, and send the head back to the Yan Army!" ”

Wei Dong came up with two guards and dragged Chu Wei away, and the two guards drew knives in their hands and put them on Chu Wei's neck. The strange thing is that this Chuwei didn't even beg for mercy, and was silently pulled out by the guards of the battalion, and he couldn't even see the old guy's body trembling from behind.

Zhao Xun frowned, only then did he remember that this old bastard had traveled more roads than he had eaten, and he had long expected that he was just a dismount. Definitely wouldn't really kill him, otherwise he wouldn't have become an emissary.

"Wait...... See what the Warriors want to do? Anyway, there is going to be a war, so it doesn't hurt to listen to it! Come back! Zhao Xun said coldly.

Wei Dong pulled out of the way again, this Chu Wei, his face remained unchanged, and he still stood in front of Zhao Xun respectfully, as if nothing had happened. But when Zhao Xun said that the war was about to start, the old guy still trembled slightly.

Speaking of which, the old man Chu Wei also regrets it now. If it weren't for the fact that the Huolin Army was born out of thin air, and the four eastern and northern prefectures of Youzhou were lost, then he would also become a person on the human side, and it was not impossible to enter the upper echelons of the Shen Ya tribe with his own means. It's a pity that Zhao Xun and his Huolin army appeared, and since then, the southward army has suffered a heavy setback, from strong to weak, and now, even began to take the initiative to bow down and negotiate peace with the Shunzhou army.

Looking at the old guy in front of him, Zhao Xun said coldly: "What do you want you to tell me?" ”

Chu Wei said humbly: "The general of my family wants the villain to tell the adults that he is willing to give one-third of the wealth and taxes of the land of the three counties and one city, and asks the adults not to go south again." If Lord Totong is willing to unite with him, my general can even speak for your lord in the court. Of course, trade between the two places can also be carried out. ”

Zhao Xun said lightly: "Your idea is very good!" I'm a little impressed! ”

"Your Excellency!" "Adults can't ......" Su Ziyan heard that Zhao Xun wanted to join forces with the Yan people, and hurriedly said loudly.

Zhao Xun waved his hand and sneered: "Rhetoric! Your army is already surrounded by me, as long as you defeat your army, not to say a third, it is all mine. ”

Chu Wei said solemnly: "Although what the lord said is true, but I still have 40,000 troops in the Yan Army, and it is not so easy to take it. But as long as the adults don't go south anymore, then the adults won't have to spend a penny of effort here, and they can get one-third of the wealth here, so why not? Besides, if the adults are for the Shunzhou Army and not for the Huolin Army, don't you just want to touch the nerves of some people? There is also a little bit of relationship between my general and the court of the Yan Kingdom, which can provide a useful identity for the adults. ”

Zhao Xun said coldly: "One-third of the finance and taxes? Why did your family only give me one-third of my wealth? Three counties and one city, but with an army of 40,000, does he still have money for me? ”

Chu Wei still said respectfully: "Lord Dutong, as long as the adults no longer march south, we don't need so many soldiers, then money is no longer a problem." Of course, if the adults join forces with us, this number is also negotiable. ”

Zhao Xun said with a faint smile: "Really? But all along, the army has never been weak, and today I offer the treasury and taxes, who knows that when I get it, I will not get money, but a scimitar? If my guess is correct, your general is in a hurry to contact the Ya army in Weizhou Mansion. ”

Chu Wei said disappreliantly: "At this time and that time, the so-called person who knows the times is Junjie, and the general of my family has realized that adults are naturally noble, and they must not be offended, so they dare not confront adults, and only hope to coexist peacefully with adults." ”

"Peaceful coexistence? Ha ha...... It's ridiculous, if it weren't for the Fire Lin Army blocking your convergence passage, would you tell Pontus to live together peacefully? Zhao Xun said sharply.

Speaking of which, it was precisely because the Huolin Army occupied the two northern counties of Weizhou Prefecture that it cut off the connection between the two Yan Armies and divided them. The Anche Bone Army, which is now in a weak position, is being forced to soften.

Chu Wei still said respectfully: "In the past, it no longer matters who is right and who is wrong, the important thing is that now the adults have the upper hand." ”

Zhao Xun lowered his face at this time, seemed to be very satisfied with Chu Wei's statement, looked down at Chu Wei, and said lightly: "Since this is the case, then ask your general to come and talk to me in person." ”

Chu Wei said respectfully: "My lord, please wait a moment, my general is preparing a generous gift, and he will be there in two days." ”

Even the stupid person knows that this is all a lie, Zhao Xun touched his lower jaw, and said lightly: "In two days? That's too insincere. My army is ready to march at any time, and I can't wait long. ”

Chu Wei said respectfully: "My general learned that the adults had defeated the Black Snake Army, so he ordered the villain to bring some gifts, this is the sincerity of my general, please see, my lord." ”

He clapped his hands, and the four entourages carried up the wooden box, put it in front of Zhao Xun, and then retreated.

Wei Dong opened the wooden box, and it was full of golden gold ingots, stacked neatly, and the volume of these gold ingots was very large, which was definitely not seen on the market. According to preliminary estimates, two large boxes of gold ingots, to say the least, are several hundred catties, and if they are converted into copper coins, they will be at least more than three million yuan.

At this time, what Shunzhou Mansion needed most was money, and Zhao Xun's face naturally looked better.

Chu Wei observed his words and looks, and saw that Zhao Xun was tempted by the gold ingot, and his heart suddenly relaxed a lot, thinking that as long as you are not a cat who does not steal fish, then it will be easy to do, as long as you survive the past few days, and when you get in touch with the Yan Yan Army of Weizhou Mansion, you will attack from the north and south, and first break the two counties of the Huolin Army. At that time, you will have something to suffer.

His face was still respectful and said: "This is just a congratulatory gift from my general, please accept it with a smile." My general said that if the adults don't go south again, there will be more money and goods like this. At the time of the peace talks, my general brought it with him. ”

Zhao Xun stretched out his hand to pick up a huge gold ingot, and found that this gold ingot weighed at least five catties, and it was heavy to fall into his hand, and he accidentally saw that there were two lines of words engraved on it, and he took a closer look at it in front of him. There is an official document engraved on it, the left side is the pattern of Shunzhou Mansion, and the right side is the date. According to this, it was supposed to be the land tax paid by the Shunzhou government, but after the invasion of the Yan army, it was confiscated by the Yan army. Originally, when the tax money was paid into the treasury, it was supposed to be re-smelted and turned into gold ingots or bullion of smaller denominations for exchange. However, these gold ingots were all left untouched, but they fell into the hands of the Evil Army. Looking at these gold ingots, there is really a feeling of embarrassment.

Thinking about it, it is also natural that the Shunzhou army occupied the capital city of Shunzhou Mansion, and the finance and taxes of Shunzhou Mansion were collected by the Shunzhou Army. Among these gold ingots, there are also some large and small, unwritten gold bars, which should have been collected by the Yan army from those landlords and large households.

Zhao Xun put down the gold ingot in his hand and said lightly: "It seems that the Yan army has obtained a lot of good things from Shunzhou Mansion, among them, you have contributed a lot." ”

Chu Wei's face was stunned, and then he said flatly: "Isn't it the same in Yanzhou Mansion and Yingzhou Mansion?" ”

Zhao Xun smiled indifferently, for this kind of person who is determined to join the Yan Army, no matter how exciting it is, it is useless.

Chu Wei said humbly: "A small courtesy, not a respect, not a respect!" It's just a little bit of sincerity on the part of my general, and as for stopping the southern expedition, please think twice. ”

Zhao Xun nodded and said casually: "I like the sincerity of your general, I will consider this matter." ”

Chu Wei wanted to say something, but Zhao Xun seemed to be in deep thought, and did not let the other party take a seat, but instead put on a posture of sending off guests, and said slowly: "Chu Thorn History...... You must be tired from coming from afar, so take a break for the time being, and we'll talk about it in detail when we have time. ”

Zhao Xun immediately took Jia Chuwei and his entourage away and sent them to the courtyard where outsiders were received, leaving only two boxes full of gold ingots in front of Zhao Xun.

Lu Ziliang walked out of the side hall, frowned and said: "This is the strategy of the Yan Yan Army to delay the army, they didn't expect that we would take the Qingyang Army so quickly, and they are ready for a big battle." Now that they are separated from the Funi Department of Weizhou and surrounded by us, they use these two boxes of gold ingots to stabilize us, hoping to buy us a few days. I am sure that the army in the south must be actively liaising with the army of the Funi tribe, and at the same time rapidly mobilizing troops and horses to prevent us from attacking. After they get in touch, they will take the lead in launching an attack on the Huolin Army that occupies Yongtai County and Deyuan County. ”
