"Shi Xianqian is right."

After cleaning up his mood, Dian Yong quite agreed with Shi Xianqian's analysis, and then his words: "According to General Tiangong, after all, the Good Friends Association has been planning for more than ten years, and its foundation is far deeper than ours. Being able to take Linxian County overnight without a sound is the most direct proof. If the other party is willing to cooperate and join forces to capture Longshan Mansion, it will naturally be the best. But in case the other party has other thoughts, our rebels really have to be careful. ”

The result of some discussion, in general, is to establish a cooperation, and at the same time secretly watch out for the actions of the Good Friends Association.

The strategy discussed by these subordinates was similar to what Chen Wu had in mind. However, the Good Friends Association was launched the day before the arrival of the rebels in Linxian, and this timing can be described as very clever. If it is said that the existence of the Taiping Righteous Army is not considered in it, Chen Wu will not believe it if he is killed. Since there is a careful plan, the attitude of the Good Friends Association is actually ready to come out. Most of them are the same as the feelings of the rebels, and they are both using and beware.

While listening to Dian Yong and Shi Xianqian discuss, he secretly considered when the people from the Good Friends Association would come to contact them and who they would send.

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived.

The soldiers who were stationed outside the camp ran in all the way to report: "A team of people came over from Linxian County, waving the banner of the Good Friends Association, saying that they want to see General Tiangong!" ”

"It's coming!"

Dian Yong and the others said in unison, obviously thinking of the intention of the Good Friends Association.

"Let's go out and meet us."

Chen Wu thought about it, but decided to put on a warm attitude. After all, the Good Friends Association has been preparing for more than ten years, no matter what the Taiping Righteous Army thinks in private, there is no harm in doing a good job on the surface.

………

"This is the Taiping Righteous Army that even broke Yicheng, Lushan, and even the rebel army of Longshan Mansion was annihilated overnight. It doesn't look as powerful as it seems. ”

"That's natural, how can an ordinary rebel rebel army compare to the Dharma Protector Buddha soldiers of our Good Friends Association."

"Shhh

Outside the camp of the Taiping Righteous Army, a group of people from the Good Friends Association who were stopped were talking in a whisper, looking quite curious about this righteous army that had stirred up the entire Longshan Mansion.

The two people at the head seemed to be calm, but they were actually secretly assessing this rebel army.

The old man standing on the left has a kind and kind face, white hair and beard, and fluttering sleeves, which looks easy to attract people's affection. The man next to him was dressed in bronzed skin, with a huge body, and a large knife stuck in his waist, and he knew that his martial arts were outstanding at a glance. These two people are the principals sent by Wang Huifang to form an alliance with the Taiping Righteous Army.

Of course, the so-called alliance is actually just a high-sounding pretext.

If the rebel army really has a strength comparable to the battle record, then the two sides will naturally form an alliance; If the righteous army is in vain and defeats the official army by luck, then it is impossible to say that the two of them will secretly use the sword soldiers after they go back.

"The soldier looks average, because it is not clear whether it is the main force, and it is difficult to evaluate it just by looking at it like this. However, this camp is well rooted, and the anti-horse ditch, fence, barracks, whether it is the specifications or the spacing, are all in line with the requirements of the emperor's discipline. It seems that there are really capable people in the Taiping Righteous Army. ”

The big man on the right looked at him with a solemn expression, and whispered his opinion to the old man beside him.

The old man nodded, and was about to say something, when he saw the movement in the camp of the righteous army, he couldn't help but look solemn, and said, "The main lord is here...... Boy! ”

He was surprised for a reason.

Whether it was Chen Wu, who was surrounded by his henchmen and guards, or a group of cadres around him, everyone was wearing a set of chain mail.

This is only qualified to be worn by the hundred households of the empire, and it has excellent protection against ordinary arrows and swords. The Good Friends have been trying to collect it all year after year, and they have only managed to get thirteen sets in total. These rebels in front of them are good, and all of a sudden they show their inventory that looks not inferior to them.

Noticing Xu Maodian's slightly changing face from afar, Chen Wu couldn't help but be secretly proud in his heart.

On such a hot day, in the military tent at home, unless it is a state of war, no one will find fault for themselves on a normal march, and they have to wear chain mail. But in order to give these people of the Good Friends a dismount, he specially asked the soldiers to replace them before he came out. These seizures from the official troops of Yicheng, Lushan and Longshan Prefecture made the cadres of the righteous army look majestic and more murderous.

"Friends of the Good Friends Association are coming, welcome!"

Five steps away, Chen Wu hugged his fist at the other party, and the expression on his face was as if he had really met an old friend.

"Your Excellency, could it be Chen Wu, the Heavenly Gong General of the Taiping Righteous Army?"

Xu Maodian also looked flattered, arched his hand, and said excitedly: "I have long heard that General Tiangong is a hero, but now when I see it, it is really magnificent, and his reputation is well deserved!" ”

"It's too famous, I'm a junior according to my age, so I don't deserve such praise." With such a modest sentence, Chen Wu leaned sideways and said, "The two of you, please, let's talk to the Chinese army." ”

After a polite look, the two people walked into the camp in harmony.

Xu Maodian is not in charge of military affairs in the Good Friends Association, and he doesn't know much about this aspect, but Xiang Hua next to him is different. Along the way, many things that were previously invisible outside the camp were revealed. Although the real secrets were hidden, even what he saw along the way was enough to surprise Xiang Hua. Those ordinary rebel soldiers, although they can still be seen to be immature and young in their actions, their spirit is different from that of ordinary peasants, and they faintly have the feeling of being a soldier of the emperor's ** team.

Although this momentum is still very shallow, Xiang Hua knows that this rebel army, which has not been in trouble for a long time, is constantly transforming into a real elite army.

The Chinese army tent of the Taiping Righteous Army.

After Chen Wu sat down at the top of the seat, Dian Yong, Shi Xianqian, and the two chief envoys of the Good Friends Association sat down separately.

It seems that the two people sent by the Good Friends Association are led by a kind-faced old man. After twisting his beard, Xu Maodian was not in a hurry to discuss the matter, but instead ordered one of his subordinates to present a gift list.

A ring-shaped jade pendant with tiger stripes worth a thousand gold, two pairs of luminous crystal cups produced in the four countries of the Western Regions, and a picture of landscapes, flowers and birds by Li Shanshui, a famous artist of the former dynasty......

Probably because I don't know Chen Wu's preferences, there are more than ten kinds of things on the gift list, including gold, silver, jade, literature, ink, and inkstone. Judging from the first meeting between the two parties, this gift is definitely quite heavy.

Chen Wu glanced at the gift list, put down the gift list quietly, and said with a smile: "I have already received the kindness of Viscount Wang Huifang. Please Mr. Xu help me convey it, and he said that I like these gifts very much. ”

"General Chen likes the best ......"

The good-faced old man casually said politely, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

He only reported his home, from the Good Friends Association, but his name hasn't been said yet, right? I was going to give a gift list and ease the relationship before making a relationship, how did the other party know his identity?

As if noticing the old man's surprise, Chen Wu thought about it and suddenly said, "Look at my memory, I've been so busy lately that I forgot to introduce you to the two of you." Sitting here is the Digong General Dian Yong of my righteous army, this is Shi Xianqian, a staff officer of the army, and this ......"

After introducing them one by one, seeing that the two people of the Good Friends Club wanted to report their names, Chen Wu quietly took the lead and turned around to introduce his own people: "The two distinguished guests of the Good Friends Association, the one surnamed Xu who is sitting at the top, is Maodian. He is one of the three elders of the Good Friends Society, and he preaches and accepts people on weekdays, and has great prestige in the Good Friends Society. By the way, this Mr. Xu also has superb medical skills, if anyone is unwell, you can ask Mr. Xu to check the pulse. ”

This is undoubtedly a joke.

Those present are either generals of the righteous army, or senior military attachés, even Shi Xianqian can pick up a sword and cut people, and his body is stronger than the other, how can he be uncomfortable. However, this joke fell on Xu Maodian's ears, but it was not funny at all: his own old bottom was stripped away!

What Chen Wu said just now, there are many people who don't even know about the old believers of the Good Friends Association for many years!

Before he could recover from his shock, Chen Wu had already introduced the person next to him: "This good man is another elder of the Good Friends Association, if I remember correctly, it is called Xiang Hua, right?" Responsible for helping the Good Friends Association train Dharma Protector Buddha soldiers. In the past few years, there must be a thousand people. Oh yes, Brother Xu, this Elder Xiang Hua also stayed in the Emperor's **, and the two of them can communicate more. ”
