Chapter 30: Bet!

"In your opinion, the so-called 100,000 rabble under Master Pei can block the impact of 10,000 Hu cavalry?"

What a rabble, what a harsh title! Except for a small number of people, most of the people who know the inside story don't feel much disgust, in fact, many people know what kind of bird the so-called Qinwang Army formed by Lord Assassin Shi is! It's not even a rabble, since you've done dirty things, you're afraid of what others will say!?

Pei Dun's face sank, and even Sima Ao's eyes were cold. Sima Ao's passion for fame and fortune was deep in his bones, and he would not allow anyone to thwart his plans.

"Why does Lord Wei think that our Xuzhou army is a group of rabble, how do you know that the Xuzhou army can't stop the Hu cavalry?"

Wei Shuo sneered and said, "It seems that Lord Changshi is very confident in the soldiers under his command. ”

"Although my Xuzhou Qinwang Army is only temporarily formed, all of them are children of good families, full of the heart and courage to serve the country, and if you have courage, you must have combat effectiveness!"

"Shhhh Who can't play tricks, but I don't know if there is a real chapter under my hands. An abrupt voice suddenly came out from behind Wei Shuo, and when everyone heard the words, they saw a heroic young man standing behind Wei Shuo, with obvious contempt on his face.

"Erlang, don't be unreasonable, don't blame you! This is the Dubo of my Laoshan Guard, and he has a hundred people in his hand. Don't underestimate him, the Laoshan Escort Team can have today's results, all of which depend on Zhang Dubo's efforts. Wei Shuo pointed to Zhang Erlang and enthusiastically introduced to everyone.

Zhang Erlang took a step forward and said: "Humble and reckless, please stab Lord Shi and don't blame!" ”

Although Pei Dun was annoyed that Zhang Erlang didn't know how to advance or retreat, as a high-ranking assassin in a state, it was not easy for him to deal with a small soldier, so as not to leave the impression of narrow-mindedness to outsiders. He forced out a smile and seemed to be generous: "Hehe, Zhang Dubo is upright, this is the blessing of the country and the luck of the court!" ”

"Since the adults look down on them so much, the little ones are presumptuous, and some things will be said directly, if there is any offense, please bear with me."

Pei Dun was polite for a while, but he didn't expect Zhang Erlang to climb up the pole. It's just that the words have been spoken, and he can't take it back, so he has to put on the appearance of Corporal Lixian and listen to Zhang Erlang's high opinions.

Zhang Erlang secretly glanced at Wei Shuo next to him, and when he looked at the look of encouragement on Wei Shuo's face, he immediately pressed the uneasiness in his heart, and plucked up the courage to say: "My lord, I have different opinions about what Lord Changshi said just now. Lord Changshi believed that as long as he was given a knife and gun to an ordinary person, that person would become a qualified soldier. ”

"But Lord Changshi forgot, isn't this the teacher who will forget the past and the future! At that time, Zhang Han, a famous general at the end of Qin, led a group of rabble and lost to the overlord Xiang Yu in the Battle of Julu, which not only ruined his reputation, but also buried the last chance of the Great Qin Empire to turn around. ”

"Could it be that Lord Assassin Shi is comparable to Zhang Han, who has been through a hundred battles? What Zhang Han can't do, can Lord Assassin Shi have the confidence to do it? Lady Thorn Shi never thought about how you would deal with yourself once something went wrong? ”

Zhang Erlang's words completely woke up Pei Dun, who had been immersed in fantasy. In fact, if it weren't for Sima Ao's constant encouragement, Pei Dun himself wouldn't have the courage to go to King Qin. However, during this period of time, under Sima Ao's careful arrangement, Pei Dun only saw that the people below were full of confidence in King Qin this time, and he could not contact other objections at all.

But today's Zhang Erlang's words completely made Pei Dun react. Yes, even Zhang Han's 400,000 army was defeated by the tens of thousands of elite soldiers of the overlord Xiang Yu. I, a scholar who has never experienced a battle, how can I be so determined to defeat the Hu people?

Sima Ao saw that Zhang Erlang was 'talking nonsense', and it aroused Pei Dun's suspicions, and he couldn't help but be anxious. He hurriedly stood up and retorted: "Uncle Zhang's words are ridiculous! How can the Hu people be compared to the overlord! ”

"Then Lord Changshi, dare to compare Zhang Han and Wang Li?"

Seeing that Zhang Erlang was a little overwhelmed, Wei Shuo immediately stepped forward.

Don't look at Zhang Han and Wang Li's defeat to Xiang Yu, but they are also generals who have experienced a hundred battles, and they are by no means comparable to ordinary people. If Sima Ao had the skills of Zhang Han and Wang Li, with the current situation, he would not be a long history now, and he would have become a general in charge long ago.

In the face of Wei Shuo's questioning, Sima Ao was speechless for a while, and could only stare at Wei Shuo with his eyes on fire, if it weren't for the fact that this was the Assassin's Mansion, he really wanted to have someone arrest him immediately.

Wei Shuo didn't intend to let Sima Ao go, in his opinion, this person was even more hateful than Pei Dun, and he disregarded the safety of the people for his own ambitions.

Looking at the angry Sima Ao, Wei Shuo squinted his eyes and said provocatively: "It seems that Lord Changshi is very angry, so I don't know if Lord Changshi dares to make a bet with him?" ”

"How to bet? What to bet on? ”

"It's very simple, isn't Lord Changshi very confident in the soldiers under his command, then let's have a competition. As long as five hundred Xuzhou soldiers are temporarily recruited, they can defeat the one hundred guards under Wei Mou, which can prove that what Lord Changshi said is true. I would like to apologize to you for my previous words, and compensate you for a portion of the refined salt to be used as military funds for Lord Thorn. ”

"Wow!" Wei Shuo's words caused an uproar at the scene, and some people felt that Wei Shuo was ashamed to speak out, and he dared to put forward a bet of one against five, which was really unbelievable; But some people feel that since Wei Shuo dares to make a bet in person, it shows that the other party has a certain amount of dependence.

"Good! I promise you, we'll see you at school tomorrow afternoon! With that, Sima Ao got up and left the banquet.

At this time, Pei Dun's mood was the most complicated, originally he didn't have any ambitions, if it wasn't for Sima Ao, he would never have formed any Qinwang army. But just when he was full of ambition and wanted to make a contribution, he was suddenly poured cold water by Wei Shuo. For this bet, he had some gains and losses, hoping that Wei Shuo would fail, but in his heart he thought that Wei Shuo was telling the truth.

The banquet had continued, and Wei Shuo and the others got up one after another to say goodbye. On the way back, Wei Shuo was nothing, but Zhang Erlang was excited.

Looking at Zhang Erlang, who was eager to try, Wei Shuo smiled and said, "Erlang, it's just a group of rabble, are you like this?" Maybe it's not as good as the bandits we met on the road! ”

"Hehe, I'm not looking forward to competing with Xuzhou soldiers, but I can't get used to Sima Ao's ugly face, a child of a family like him who doesn't treat the common people as people, someone has to teach him a good lesson."

"Hey, by the way, tomorrow's competition is fine, right?"

"Please rest assured, Brother Wei, this matter is on me, and I will definitely not disgrace you." Zhang Erlang patted his chest and reassured.

The escort team was trained by him and Heizi according to the training syllabus provided by Wei Shuo, and they had a very deep understanding of their strength, so he didn't take the people of Xuzhou seriously at all.

"The stakes are high, don't be careless." Wei Shuo specially admonished.

……

Pei Dun absentmindedly returned to the back house, and his wife Pei Shi saw that her husband was in a bad mood, so she waved her hand and ordered her subordinates to go out, and said softly: "Husband, what's wrong?" Aren't you going to entertain guests from Qingzhou today? Why didn't the banquet go well? ”

"Alas! Sad! Pei Dun sighed and said: "Now that the Hu people are committing crimes in the south, I am afraid that Xuzhou will not be able to save it." ”

"Huh? Didn't you say some time ago that you were going to recruit 100,000 troops to go north to King Qin? ”

"Don't mention any more 100,000 troops, my face is all lost today!" As soon as he thought of everything that happened at the banquet, Pei Dun felt that his brain hurt.

Pei Shi hurriedly stepped forward and pinched Pei Dun's shoulder and comforted: "What happened to make you like this?" If there is anything difficult to do, it is not enough to leave it to Sima Ao. ”

"If it weren't for Sima Ao today, I wouldn't have lost face at the banquet. You don't know ......."

Although Pei Dun is a person who is not good in every way, there is one thing worth affirming, that is, he loves his family, especially his daughter and wife. Generally, if there is any difficulty, he is willing to share it with his family. So he didn't hide it from Pei's family, and told Pei what happened at the banquet in a few words.

Being able to marry Pei Dun shows that Pei is not an ordinary person, and he is much more knowledgeable than ordinary women. After listening to Pei Dun's detailed explanation, Pei Shi actually broke out in a cold sweat.
