Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 inforeadx;? Shangguan Xiu pondered in his heart for a long time, slowly raised his head, looked directly at Liu Biao, and asked word by word: "Liu Biao, now you are not convinced by me,"

Liu Biao pursed his lips and subconsciously looked into the lobby, only to see his father kneeling on the ground turning his head and glaring at him.

He understood what his father meant, which was to protect himself, he shrugged his shoulders disappreciatively, took a deep breath, bowed his hand, and said, "In the future, I, Liu Biao, will listen to you,"

The Liu family is not an orthodox Ningnan person, but moved from the Wind Country to settle in Ningnan, so Liu Biao does not have much prejudice against the Ningnan Imperial Court and the Fengguo Imperial Court, no matter which country the Imperial Court serves, for Liu Biao, it doesn't matter.

His impression of the Wind Country is not very good, but it is not much bad, but he admires Shangguan Xiu, there are not many people in the world who can make him lose convincingly.

Although he was still very rude in his words, Shangguan Xiu knew very well in his heart that a straight person like him, once he bowed down to someone, it would be difficult for him to change his mind.

He smiled, waved his hand and said, "From now on, you can stay by my side for the time being," After speaking, he turned around and walked back to the lobby,

After sitting down, Shangguan Xiu quietly pulled out a handkerchief from his cuffs, as if casually wiping the sweat on his forehead, and then, his eyes fell on Liu Chenen and Jiang Han, and asked, "Are you two also willing to submit to our country?"

Liu Chenen and Jiang Han didn't even hesitate, they kowtowed in both directions, and said in unison: "The villain is willing to serve His Royal Highness."

Shangguan Xiu looked up and smiled, the attitude of the two of them towards himself was much more respectful than Liu Biao's towards him, but the loyalty of the two of them to himself was definitely far inferior to Liu Biao, Shangguan Xiu didn't break it, just waved his hand to the two of them with a smile, and said, "Both of them get up,"

Hearing this, Liu Chenen and Jiang Han secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the two of them stood up from the ground tremblingly, probably because they knelt for too long, after the two got up, their legs trembled, and Shangguan Xiu smiled: "Give me a seat,"

With his words, the two wind soldiers moved two chairs and put them on the side of the lobby, Liu Chenen and Jiang Han bowed down and thanked them, and sat down carefully,

"How long have the two of you been in Qingcheng?"

"Back to Your Highness, the villain has been in Qingcheng for two years," Without waiting for Liu Chenen to speak, Jiang Han replied first,

Liu Chenen gave birth to a good son and was appreciated by Shangguan Xiu, he was free of worries, but he was different, don't look at Shangguan Xiu is very polite to himself now, but if he is unhappy, he may put himself to death,

Shangguan Xiu smiled and asked, "Where did Lord Jiang serve before he was transferred to Qingcheng?"

"The villain is in Changxing,"

"Changxing, but the county seat of Fengyuan County,"

"Exactly,"

"In this way, Lord Jiang knows Fengyuan County very well," Shangguan Xiu asked casually with a smile,

"The villain is a native of Fengyuan County, and he doesn't dare to say anything about every grass and tree in Fengyuan County, but there is a big thing in Fengyuan County, and the villain can also know a thing or two," Jiang Han said with a flattering face, flattering,

"Well," Shangguan Xiu nodded, picked up the teacup, and said slowly: "Tell me how many troops there are in Fengyuan County at present,"

Jiang Han was stunned, fell into deep thought, pondered for a moment, and said: "As far as the villain knows, Fengyuan County has more than 100,000 central troops and more than 50,000 local troops,"

Fengyuan County has more than 100,000 Ningnan Central Army, and Guan Xiu really doesn't know about this matter, he asked curiously: "Do you know which army is stationed in Fengyuan County?"

"It's not the Central Army Corps, but the reserve of the Central Army," Jiang Han Zhengse said: "More than a month ago, the imperial court set up a reserve camp near Changxing, and the recruits sent by the imperial court to Mingshui County will first go to the Changxing reserve camp for training,"

It turned out to be just a reserve, Shangguan Xiu rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought, the so-called reserve is actually a recruit who has never been on the battlefield, even if there are more than 100,000 people, for his own side, the threat posed is not great,

He pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Fengyuan County has important strategic resources,"

"This ......" Jiang Han paused, his eyes were erratic, and he didn't answer immediately, Shangguan Xiu smiled indifferently and asked softly: "What, is there anything that Lord Jiang doesn't want to say, or can't tell me,"

"No, no, no," Jiang Han hurriedly waved his hand in fright, and said: "Some time ago, the villain heard about something, but I don't know if it's true or not,"

"Oh, what's the matter,"

"The imperial court has two million taels of military salaries to arrive in Changxing, and it is currently stored in the treasury of the county government," Jiang Han frowned and said: "Of course, this is also the villain's hearsay, as for whether this is really the case, the villain is not sure,"

Two million taels of military salary, Shangguan Xiu heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, at present, the most shortage of his own side is military salary, although he has urgently requisitioned five million taels of silver from Shura Hall, but after all, the road is far away, thousands of miles away, a slight change on the road, it will delay the trip, if you can lay down Changxing, loot the silver treasury in Changxing City, then, can solve your own urgent need, thinking of this, Shangguan Xiu's fingers lightly tapped the table, making a rhythmic clicking sound, after a while, he lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "Master Jiang, do you know that every word you say at this time represents a certain amount of sincerity in your surrender, if you dare to deceive me, I'm afraid, it's not just your own head that is not guaranteed,"

Jiang Han was shocked, his face turned pale, his body followed the chair, involuntarily slipped to the ground, kowtowed forward again and again, and said in a trembling voice: "The villain doesn't dare to lie in front of His Highness, even if the villain has the courage to deceive His Highness,"

"Get up," Shangguan Xiu said sideways: "Absolutely, take Lord Liu and Lord Jiang down to rest, remember, you must take good care of the two adults, and you must not be lazy,"

"Yes," Xiao Jue agreed, walked quickly to the two of them, waved his hand and said, "Two adults, please,"

Liu Chenen is not afraid now, Shangguan Xiu values his son, and his whole family is equivalent to having a protective umbrella, as for Jiang Han, his heart is up and down, and the military salary sent by the imperial court to Mingshui County is temporarily stored in Changxing, he is indeed hearsay, as for the truth or falsehood, where does he dare to be sure,

After Liu Chenen and Jiang Han were taken away by Xiao Jue, Shangguan Xiu turned his head to look at Wu Yufei and asked, "Now I may be in contact with Zhang Xiao of the Dark Banner,"

Wu Yufei was stunned, nodded and responded: "Brother Xiu, my subordinates will go to find someone,"

"Hmm,"

Jiang Leopard, who was beside him, asked curiously, "Brother Xiu, Zhang Xiao is,"

"The general leader of the Shura Hall Secret Banner in Ningnan," to put it bluntly, Zhang Xiao is the leader of the Shura Hall's intelligence organization in Ningnan, Jiang Leopard showed a look of sudden enlightenment, he blinked his eyes, and asked again: "Could it be that Brother Xiu wants to sneak attack Changxing City,"

Shangguan Xiu said: "Our army has been without pay for more than two months,"

Jiang Leopard frowned and said: "General Wei Chi said that now the war is tense, in order to fiercely determine the soldiers to fight to the death with the enemy, when will our army capture Mingshui County, and when will the military salary be paid, and it will be doubled,"

Hehe, Wei Chi Zhen will really find a reason to cover it up, but this is not a good excuse to stabilize the morale of the army, Shangguan Xiu said: "The salary of the soldiers of the whole army, it is not that General Wei Chi refuses to pay it, nor does it have to wait until the victory of the battle to double it, but our army is now, there is no military salary at all, and the imperial court has not shipped a tael of silver for more than two months,"

"Ah," the leopard was astonished, and said dumbfounded, "but ...... But General Wei Chi never talked about it,"

"If you all know that there is no salary in the army, wouldn't it be a big mess for our army," Seeing that Jiang Leopard was still going to speak, Shangguan Xiu waved his hand and said: "You don't have to worry about this matter, I know that Shura Hall will transfer five million taels of silver, but the silver of Shura Hall will be transported from Yuzhen, from Yuzhen to Mingshui County, the road is too far, the best and safest way is to ......"

"It is to capture Changxing City by surprise and move all the silver in the county treasury back to our army camp,"

"That's right," Shangguan Xiu's gaze gradually became deeper, with these two million taels of silver, at least it could make the military hearts of his soldiers more stable,

"But Brother Xiu, Jiang Han also said, there is a reserve camp near Changxing City, which has more than 100,000 central troops, and there are more than 50,000 local troops in Fengyuan County.......

When Shangguan Xiu heard this, he looked up and smiled, and said: "At present, the strength of Fengyuan County sounds a little scary, there are 200,000 people, in fact, there is no need to worry, the more than 100,000 central army is just some inexperienced recruits, as for the more than 50,000 local army, it is even more impossible to be the opponent of our army," As he spoke, he looked at Liu Biao, who was standing in the lobby, looking unconcerned about himself, and was wiping his face with a wet hand towel, and asked: "Liu Biao, do you dare to follow me into Fengyuan County and sneak attack Changxing City,"

Liu Biao tore off the wet hand towel on his face, and said nonchalantly: "I am willing to lose the bet, from now on, I will listen to you, I will go wherever you let me go, let alone go with you to attack Changxing City, even if I follow you to attack the Yama Palace, I Liu Biao has no words,"

Shangguan Xiu laughed, pointed at Liu Biao, and said to Jiang Biao: "Ah Bao, have you heard it, in terms of guts, you are not as good as Liu Biao,"

Hearing this, Liu Biao was very cooperative, laughed strangely, and deliberately glanced at Jiang Leopard triumphantly,

Jiang Leopard grinned angrily, and shouted loudly: "Isn't it just to sneak attack Changxing City, Brother Xiu, you give an order, if I, Jiang Leopard, frown, is not worthy of being a general of the Feng Army, nor is I worthy of being a seven-foot man of the Jiang family,"

Shangguan Xiu waved his hand with a smile and said, "Don't worry, if there is really silver, it won't grow wings and fly away, we have to find out now whether the information provided by Jiang Han is true or false,"

It will take time to summon Zhang Xiao to Qingcheng, and during this period, Shangguan Xiu ordered the Feng army to appease the people in the city while strengthening the city defenses of Qingcheng, preparing to resist the counterattack that the Ningnan army may come at any time.
