Chapter 540: Honey Belly Sword

"How is King Qi doing?" Xiao Miao's words were not asked about Cen Wenwen, but about Xiao Yuexian on the side, but Cen Wenwen's face still changed, how is King Qi? Could it be that Xiao Yuexian, who is the actual commander of the Baling Gang, doesn't know? Xiao Miao's words were actually asking how to deal with Zhang Xiu.

"King Qi recently said that he has the greatest credit and should not be at the end of the kings." Xiao Yuexian glanced at Cen Wenwen, and finally sighed and said, "King Qi's soldiers and horses have increased very quickly recently, and they are almost 60,000 people. ”

"Sixty thousand? Isn't that a little bit more numerous? Xiao Mo looked at Cen Wen below, his face was much gloomy, he believed that Cen Wenwen's intelligence and wit must have known his own thoughts, that is, Xiao Mo wanted to kill Zhang Xiu, a general can be talented, although he was a little arrogant, Xiao Mo would also tolerate this person, at least before the unification of the world, but Zhang Xiu was too arrogant, not only arrogant, but also wanted Zhang Jin to marry Xiao Yuexian, and finally expanded the soldiers and horses without authorization. What is this Zhang Xiu trying to do? 60,000 soldiers and horses are enough to change the form of the battlefield.

Cen Wenwen showed bitterness on his face, at this time he was still thinking about fighting for power and profit, could such a dynasty still be saved? 60,000 soldiers and horses seem to be a lot of people, but in fact, these are all rabble, whether it is Guanzhong or Li Zhao, they are all thinking of elite strategies, releasing more population, and developing production. In this way, he can recover his strength faster, Xiao Mo obviously didn't notice this, and the withered beam of people's livelihood could not resist Li Xin's long-term attack at all.

"Your Majesty, do it at this time. Is it a little early, it is better to wait until Li Xin retires from the army. Cen Wenwen thought about it and persuaded softly: "Killing the King of Qi rashly may cause the army's morale to be unstable!" ”

"It's not that I don't want to spare him. If I am arrogant, I will endure it, but what if I defect to the enemy and betray the country? I'm afraid that I won't even react when the time comes, so I will be sold by Zhang Xiu. Xiao Mo said with a gloomy face and a cold snort. His eyes were full of anger, his eyes flickered, and the atmosphere in the entire hall suddenly became solemn. Cen Wenwen's head was lowered.

"Mr. Cen, according to the news from the secret agents of the Baling Gang, Zhang Xiu has begun to secretly contact Li Xin." Xiao Yuexian sighed and said, "The reason why he recruited troops and horses was to guard against his father. More importantly, when he surrendered to Li Xin, he just increased his strength, so that Li Xin could give him a higher official position. ”

"Ahh What about the kings of Qin and Chu? Cen Wenwen was stunned, he didn't expect that there was such a thing here. originally thought that Xiao Mo wanted to kill Zhang Xiu because of his domineering. But now it seems that it is not just this matter.

"I haven't heard from it yet." Xiao Mo was stunned for a moment, and quickly shook his head and said: "However, now people's hearts are chaotic, and these people's minds are not known to me. Xiao Mo also felt sad, thinking that Li Xin was just a side doorman, but he had established such a foundation and had more than 100,000 people under his command. It's not something he can resist at all, although he is a noble son of heaven. But in reality, there are very few people who listen to themselves.

"The minister knows what to do." Cen Wenwen thought for a while and said: "The emperor must not make a move in this matter, if the emperor makes a move, the morale of the army will be affected, Li Xin's army has not yet been killed, our people's hearts are already in chaos, the emperor can order it to be the vanguard, and secretly let the king of Qin, the king of Chu, and the king of Song jointly attack, if the king of Qi really attacks Li Xin, the three kings can help, if not, you can order someone to kill him." ”

Xiao Mo nodded after listening to it, he couldn't stand Zhang Xiu's arrogance, in the entire court, every time above the court, Zhang Xiu was talking wildly, and he didn't put Xiao Mo in his eyes at all, which made him extremely angry, but he had a good point, Zhang Xiu had already submitted to Li Xin, at least he was discussing the matter of returning to Li Xin.

Li Xin's battalion was stationed in Dangyang, and the prestige of Zhao Yun, a fierce general in this place, was achieved, and now Li Xin has nearly 100,000 troops, and the fierce general looks around and is eyeing Jiangling, ready to go south at any time. The reason why there has not been an attack yet, on the one hand, is because the weather is getting colder, and the winter clothes of the soldiers have not yet arrived, and on the other hand, the soldiers are not accustomed to the water and soil, and he has asked Yao Dongzhu to come in person, so he will stay in Dangyang.

However, at this moment, Li Xin met Zhang Xiu, the king of Qi in the camp, Zhang Xiu was handsome, and there was a faint trace of fine light between the opening and closing of his eyes, and there was a faint cunning color, which made people look uncomfortable.

"The prime minister went south to the south of the Yangtze River, the people of the south of the Yangtze River are looking forward to the rain for a long time, praying for the king to stay for a long time, the Xiao mantis arm is a car, going against the sky, it will definitely not end well, the last general Zhang Xiu is willing to take the 60,000 army as the vanguard, go south to the south of the Yangtze River for the prime minister, and destroy the Xiao family." Zhang Xiu sighed in her heart, but her face showed respect.

"Sixty thousand troops? Although King Qi's 60,000 army is brave, I don't know how it compares with my army in Guanzhong? Where did Wei Chi Gong hold a leg of mutton in both hands, and the big eyes of the copper bell glared at Zhang Xiu with disdain, and said: "The 60,000 Jiangnan army is like a chicken and a dog in front of my Wei Chi Gong, but a charge can solve it." ”

Zhang Xiu's face was not good-looking when he heard this. Although he knew what kind of goods his army was, he was still a little uncomfortable in his heart when he said this, just for the sake of Wei Chigong's face, he was so presumptuous in Li Xin's big tent, and he knew that Wei Chigong was Li Xin's confidant and favorite general, although he was dissatisfied in his heart, he could only put it in his heart.

"What are you talking about when you have food?" Li Xin snorted coldly and glared at Wei Chigong fiercely, and the frightened Wei Chigong lowered his head and didn't dare to speak anymore.

"Xiao Mo rebelled against the imperial court, claimed to be the emperor in vain, the crime is unforgivable, this king was ordered to go south, just to capture Xiao Miao, escort the Beijing division, General Zhang can abandon the darkness and turn to the light, this king is still very happy in his heart." Li Xin nodded and said, "After the elimination of Xiao Miao, on the day of entering Beijing, this king will ask for credit for the general." Li Xin laughed after speaking.

Zhang Xiu showed a strong smile on his face, although Li Xin said it very well, but the most critical point was not said, that is, the treatment of himself after his surrender, and calling himself just a general's name, which made him very dissatisfied in his heart, but it was not easy to show it, and he regretted it a little, and he came to surrender Li Xin at this time.

"Prime Minister, after my father returned to the imperial court, I don't know what title or official position to be awarded?" An arrogant voice came, Li Xin looked over, but saw that it was Zhang Xiu's son Zhang Jin.

"Shut up, the prime minister has his own arrangements, where is your turn to speak as a little brute." Zhang Xiu's face changed, and she slapped her son hard. He also wanted to know these things in his heart, but Li Xin didn't take the initiative to bring it up, and he didn't want to ask, at this time, after Zhang Jin brought it up, he was overjoyed in his heart, but he didn't dare to let Li Xin see his thoughts, so he gave his son a slap.

"Hehe, learn literary and martial arts, and sell it to the emperor's family. It is naturally a beautiful thing for the general to surrender and abandon the darkness and turn to the light, but if the court does not reward him, who will work for the court in the future? Li Xin smiled indifferently and said: "In this case, this king canonized the general as the prince of Changsha County on behalf of the emperor, the general of the right martial marquis, what does the general think?" ”

"Thank you, Prime Minister." Zhang Xiu's face moved, his eyes darkened, and he quickly returned to normal, and hurriedly pulled Zhang Jin to bow down.

"Prime Minister, what about the last general?" Zhang Jin saw that Li Xin had enclosed his father as the county prince and he had nothing, so he was a little dissatisfied at the moment, and couldn't help but speak.

"Shut up." Zhang Xiu glared at his son, Li Xin sealed his own county duke, he was already extraordinarily gracious, how could he seal his son again? Zhang Jin opened his mouth at this time, which must have given Li Xin a bad impression. It's just that the words have been spoken, and Zhang Xiu is helpless, he now regrets that he shouldn't bring his son here.

"Haha, good, good, this king likes young people who dare to speak." Li Xin waved his hand and said indifferently: "General Zhang doesn't have to blame Ling Lang, it's just that Zhang Jin can't be crowned a marquis without military merits, your father surrendered with an army of 60,000, so he can get the position of the county duke, you can inherit your father's title in the future, plus you are young now, what do you want this king to seal you?" So be it! What do you want? First of all, tell the king. ”

"I don't want anything else, just Xiao Yuexian." Zhang Jin said loudly.

"Xiao Yuexian? Is that the No. 1 beauty in Jiangnan? Li Xin was stunned, looked at Zhang Jin and said: "I didn't expect you to want a knighthood or an official position, but a beauty, haha, it's a little interesting, it's a little interesting." What do you say? ”

"What the prime minister said is very true, don't want an official position, you want a beauty." Ma Zhou also said with a smile.

"Okay, when this king captures Xiao Yuexian, this king will definitely reward her to you. Seeing that you are the same age as Xiao Yuexian, you are a good match. Li Xin nodded, with a satisfied look on his face, looked around and said, "If you can really capture Xiao Yuexian and marry her to you, it's not impossible!" When the time comes, Zhongqing, who will be the matchmaker for General Zhang Xiao at that time? ”

"Yes." Liang Shuo said with a smile.

"General Zhang, this king will congratulate you when the time comes!" Li Xin said with a smile.

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Zhang Xiu's face was slightly red, and his face suddenly showed excitement, but he didn't expect Li Xin to agree to such a request from his son.

"Okay, General Zhang, let's go back to Jiangling and prepare first! As soon as the king's army arrives, you and I should join forces inside and outside and take Gangneung. Li Xin smiled and personally sent Zhang Xiu out.

"Hmph, go, send someone to spread the news of Zhang Xiu's return to this king, an arrogant and domineering person actually wants to make a request to this king, the title of a county duke is too small, do you still want to make you king?" Li Xin looked at Zhang Xiu's distant back and said disdainfully.

"Yes." Liang Shuo and Ma Zhou glanced at each other, and they also despised Zhang Xiu in their hearts. (To be continued......)
