Chapter 55: Three family slaves

After the recruitment of wise men and the change of commanders, Hanyuguan regained its calm again. Mo Chu was thinking hard about finding two treasures, and the next person came to report, and General Liu Ming asked to see him.

Mo Chu beckoned Liu Ming in.

"What is General Liu looking for me?"

"About Wu Qi's military division, come and report to the general. ”

"This kind of trivial matter, you can just discuss it with General Zhen. ”

"The stakes are high, and none of us can be the masters. ”

"Oh, it's so serious, you tell me about it. ”

"This military advisor is not going to form an elite team to go to Vietnam to carry out tasks. ”

"I know this, isn't it settled, by the way, when is he going to leave?"

"The time has been set, just at the end of the month. ”

"That's good, what's the problem?"

Wu Qi opened his mouth and asked me for 10,000 taels of silver as funds. ”

Mo Chu frowned, and subconsciously pinched his earlobe.

"It's a bit much. ”

"That's right, let him take out so much silver, I'm afraid that the meat bun will beat the dog and never return. ”

"Not really. Since we use him, we must believe in him!"

"But it's too much money. ”

"General Liu, you did the right thing, so be it, you give him three hundred taels, and let him figure out the rest by himself. ”

"Okay, I'll take care of it. ”

After Liu Ming finished speaking, he said goodbye and went back to the barracks.

This Wu Qi is too hypocritical, he didn't do anything, and he turned my southeast camp into chaos. I think you're a talent, but you can't be so arrogant.

Mo Chu hadn't finished tasting a pot of tea, and the next person came to report again, and Wu Qi asked to see him.

Mo Chu bit his lip and let him in.

"Master Wu, I just got some West Lake Longjing, let's try it. ”

Wu Qi stepped forward quickly, sat down opposite Mo Chu, then picked up an empty cup, put it in front of Mo Chu, then filled it, and then filled himself with a cup.

Mo Chu took the tea and drank it all.

Wu Qi helped him fill the cup again, and then took a sip himself.

"General, it's just the best West Lake Longjing. ”

"If it's good, drink more!"

Mo Chu took another sip of tea, "Wu Junshi, how are you preparing for the overflight?"

"When all is ready, you owe money. ”

"You just go to Liu Ming. ”

"General Liu gave me three hundred taels. ”

"Three hundred taels, this General Liu is really generous, and the annual salary of my huge southeast battalion is only 300,000 taels. ”

Wu Qi's face changed slightly.

"But ......"

"But what is it, if you have something to say, we don't have to hide it between us. Mo Chu smiled.

"General, there are more than ten of us in our group, and we may have to stay in Yue Country for more than a year, and three hundred taels is far from enough. ”

"What you say makes sense. But our southeast battalion has been recruiting troops and horses, and the expenses are huge, and now the salary given by the imperial court is also a drop in the bucket. ”

Mo Chu paused and continued, "Otherwise, you come to me tonight, and I'll take you to raise money." ”

Wu Qi's face was full of doubts, but since the general had spoken, it was inconvenient for him to say more, so he could only get up and leave.

In the evening, Wu Qi arrived as promised. Mo Chu gave him a black scarf.

Wu Qi was at a loss, but he still took it in his hand.

"General, where are we going to raise silver?"

"Find a big family and borrow something from them to make an emergency first. ”

"What, that's not right. The general is a big man with a head and a face, how can he do such a thing. ”

"Wu Junshi, do extraordinary things at extraordinary times. These rich people, if we weren't protecting them, they wouldn't even have their lives, and now they eat and drink spicy food every day, why should we borrow something from them. ”

"General, this is what the people in the rivers and lakes call us, we are the officials of the imperial court, absolutely not!"

"Master Wu, people must learn to be flexible, especially when marching and fighting, only by adapting to all changes, otherwise we will be tripped up by these clauses. ”

After Mo Chu finished speaking, he put on a masked scarf and flew out of the general's mansion. Wu Qi could only keep up quickly. Mo Chu didn't slow down and wait for him, but instead tried his best to jump a few feet away.

Mo Chu really wanted to see how capable this awesome star was. After a cup of tea, Wu Qi had chased after him, and then kept this distance.

Mo Chu smiled secretly in his heart, this Wu Qi is still a character.

Mo Chu and Wu Qi's harvest was not small, and after a few casual words, they got a thousand taels.

"These silver taels are enough for you for a while. ”

"Thank you, General. ”

"Okay, you don't have to be polite to me, don't you also contribute. ”

"That's what subordinates should do. ”

"Okay, when you go out, it's not convenient for you to have more silver belts. If you really run out of money one day, you can borrow some money from the rich merchants of Vietnam, they have a lot of money. ”

Wu Qi could only laugh.

"Now that you have enough money, you can do what you planned. If there is anything you can do with Liu Ming, he will definitely support you. ”

Mo Chu continued, "Master Wu, I strongly support you, I hope you don't let me down!"

"I'll keep completing the mission, and the general will wait for my good news. ”

After Wu Qi finished speaking, he said goodbye to Mo Chu and went back to the barracks.

When he got up in the morning, Mo Chu intuitively felt that his whole body was sore and weak, and he couldn't lift his energy. Perhaps because he had been inactive for a long time, he decided to go out and warm up.

Mo Chu took out the Longyuan Sword, walked to the back garden, and played the Qingfeng Nine Style. A set of swordsmanship has not yet been completed, Zhen Cheng has already come.

"Little junior brother, I can't imagine that you still have such Yaxing. ”

"When I woke up today, I felt bored and panicked, so I came over to do activities. ”

"With so many things going on lately, you are probably tired. ”

"Maybe, I can't lift my whole body. ”

Mo Chu stopped, and Zhen Cheng gave him a towel to wipe his sweat.

"Has Wu Qi set off?"

"Yesterday was gone. ”

"Little junior brother, I don't understand, why do you value this Wu Qi so much, how much do you know about him?"

"I don't know him, it's the first time I've met him. ”

"Then why do you use him so much?"

"You are a famous general in history, and it is he who destroyed the Yue Kingdom. ”

"So how is he recorded in history?"

"I have never lost a battle in my life, and I do not hesitate to kill my wife for fame. ”

"As you can imagine, history is so accurate. ”

"Have you found out the details of Wu Qi?" Mo Chu asked.

"Yes, it's true that Wu Qi is a talent, but his character is not very good. For the sake of his official position, he actually killed his wife, and he couldn't get along in the Lu State, so he took refuge in the Wei State. He made outstanding achievements in the Wei State, but he was still expelled by the King of Wei, and he could only defect to my Chu State, and he was a complete three-surname slave. ”

"It's exactly what history says. This person's quality is a little worse, but he is indeed talented, and he can shine everywhere, which is really not easy. ”

"But with a person like him, you are not afraid that one day, he will bite you back. ”

Mo Chu sighed deeply, "I can't think of that much. Wu Qi is a very rare talent, and I just want to use his strengths to benefit the Chu State and the vast number of Li people. ”

"But he will definitely be your biggest opponent in the future, even your enemy. ”

"Second Senior Brother, thank you! You know, I am from 2,000 years later, I am here today, I don't know where I will be tomorrow. I don't dare to hope what will happen in the future, I just want to live today and do my best to do something for the people of the world. ”

"Little junior brother, if everyone in the world had a personality as high as you, how beautiful the world would be!"

Zhen Cheng stepped forward and hugged Mo Chu tightly, and the two brothers hugged each other to their heart's content.
