Chapter 298: Secret Business

Suba waved his hand and said, "I usually live in Badna, which is the center of my Ba people, and it is a day's journey from Agra, and I heard that Lord Shangguan led his army through Agra, so I rushed here on purpose!"

Shangguan Xiu arched his hand and said, "Patriarch Suba is so gracious, I am a little reluctant to go!"

"Haha! It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" the two of them talked as they walked, and came to the center of the residence, where there was a large mansion surrounded by many Ba guards. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

When he came to the door, a guard stepped forward to help him hold the reins of the horse, and a young man dressed as a servant knelt motionless beside the horse, and Suba stepped on the man's back and dismounted.

Shangguan Xiu looked down at the Ba people kneeling beside his horse, and secretly shook his head, his figure only shook lightly on the horse's back, and the person jumped down as light as a swallow and fell to the ground lightly.

As soon as the two of them got off the horse, they heard someone shouting from inside the courtyard gate: "Abba!

With a shout, a shadow rushed out of the door. Before Shangguan Xiu could see what was going on, the shadow had already crashed into his arms and hugged his waist tightly.

He fixed his eyes and saw that the person who ran out of the mansion was Suba's daughter, Qing'er.

He and Qing'er haven't seen each other for more than a year, compared with a year ago, Qing'er has grown up a lot, and she is even more slim, tall, and bumpy, compared with the Fengren woman, she has a little more wild and heroic unique to Fanren.

Seeing Qing'er hugging Shangguan Xiu and screaming and jumping excitedly, Suba shook his head again and again beside him, and sighed: "Fengren has a saying that is true, women don't stay, women don't stay!"

Shangguan Xiu's face showed a little embarrassment, he held Qing'er's shoulders, pushed her away a little, looked her up and down, and said with a smile: "Miss Qing'er is not a little girl now, but a big girl who has become like a flower." ”

His words were not only praising Qing'er, but also reminding her that she was no longer a child, and it was too rude to hug and hug her like this.

Qing'er, who was very excited, could hear his voice, she took Shangguan Xiu's arm, and said happily as she walked towards the courtyard: "Ah Xiu, knowing that you are coming, I have prepared roast sheep in advance." ”

Shangguan Xiu smiled, looked at Suba, and saw that he was smiling and did not show displeasure, so he let Qing'er pull him into the courtyard.

Passing through the front yard, you will see a huge two-story wooden building, which occupies a large area, about the size of half a basketball court.

The first floor of the wooden house has no walls, but is supported by more than a dozen thick and tall wooden columns, and looking inside, there are many long blankets on the ground, on which fruit and wine are placed. In the center there is also a wooden shelf, with firewood burning underneath, and on top of it is a fat and large roasted whole sheep, which is roasted to oily and fragrant.

"Ah Xiu, come in and sit!" Qing'er pulled Shangguan Xiu closer to the wooden house, pulled him to sit down behind a blanket, and then picked up the fruit and wine like a treasure, and handed them to Shangguan Xiu's lips.

Shangguan Xiu really didn't adapt to this kind of hospitality, with a dry smile on his face, he didn't eat it, and he didn't eat it.

Fortunately, Suba walked in in time to relieve the siege, and he said, "Okay, Qing'er, you look like this, Lord Shangguan can't eat it even if he wants to." ”

Qing'er pouted, and finally sat down obediently. Suba waved his hand at Luo Ren and the others, and said with a smile: "You are all subordinates of Lord Shangguan, and you are not outsiders, you can sit and eat as you like." ”

Did everyone understand what he said, Shangguan Xiu translated it with a smile, and everyone understood, and they arched their hands in thanks.

Suba slapped his face and called in a large group of young girls of the Ba tribe, each with a silver knife and a silver plate in their hands, to cut off the cooked mutton and distribute it among the people present. Suba wiped his hands, directly grabbed a handful of mutton on the plate, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it, and said to Shangguan Xiu inexplicably: "Lord Shangguan, taste it, this is roasted by Qing'er herself." ”

Shangguan Xiu nodded with a smile, smiled at Qing'er again, picked up the knife, inserted a piece of mutton and put it in his mouth, and after eating a few bites, he nodded and praised: "Yes, it's delicious." ”

Qing'er, who was looking at him, breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and her big eyes also smiled crookedly. Suba picked up the wine glass and said, "Lord Shangguan, I toast you!"

"Patriarch Suba, please!" "Please!"

With a few glasses of wine down, Suba stopped greetings, cut back to the topic, and asked, "Lord Shangguan has made up his mind to march into Ningnan?"

"Of course. ”

"If that's the case, Lord Shangguan should now think about how to pass through the territory of the Qixi people. Suba took a sip of wine, put down the cup, and said, "Either Lord Shangguan will meet the requirements of the Qixi people and compensate them with enough silver." ”

The lion of the Qixi people opened his mouth and Shangguan Xiu had been taught, and last time his own fire destroyed most of the forests in the territory of the Qixi people, they would never give up if they didn't want hundreds of thousands of taels by themselves. He shrugged his shoulders and said, "Our army is here to fight, not to play, how can we carry a large amount of silver with the army?"

Suba spread his hands and said, "If Lord Shangguan can't give the money that the Qixi people want, then he will have to fight hard from the territory of the Qixi people." ”

The corners of Shangguan Xiu's mouth raised, and he said disappreciably: "There are 200,000 people in my Feng army. ”

Suba reminded: "But there are as many as 100,000 Qixi people, once the battle is engaged, except for the old man and children, the men and women of the Qixi people can go into battle, and it is not a problem to make up 70,000 or 80,000 people, and they occupy the top of the mountain, they have the advantage of geographical advantages, although Lord Shangguan has 200,000 soldiers, but if he leads the army to attack, even if he can win in the end, I am afraid that the loss of troops will be great, right?"

Well, that's a problem. It is indeed not easy to attack the mountain, and the large-scale baggage of the siege is not useful at all, which Shangguan Xiu has personally experienced in Xibu Mountain. He rubbed his chin and remained silent.

Suba smiled and said, "However, I have half a solution. ”

"Oh? Chapter 298: Secret Merchants

The method of the Suba patriarch is ......"

Suba picked up a banana casually, put it on the table, and said: "This is Helian Mountain in the east of the Qixi people's territory, when Lord Shangguan arrives with the army, the Qixi people must be holding on to Helian Mountain and blocking the westward advance of the wind army. There are only the old people and children of the Qixi people left, once they are attacked, there is no way to fight back, the Qixi people stationed on Helian Mountain will definitely divide their troops to rescue, at this time the opportunity for Lord Shangguan will come, whether it is the rescue of the Qixi people who ambush the Qixi people halfway or the strong attack on Helian Mountain, they have a great chance of winning. ”

Shangguan Xiu was not without research on the territory of the Qixi tribe, and when he pursued the Ningnan army in the past, he had carefully studied the terrain of the territory of the Qixi tribe. His eyes were lowered and he was lost in thought, and maps of the Qixi Clan's territory flashed in his mind.

After pondering for a moment, he said faintly: "If I am not mistaken, Helian Mountain is not a lonely mountain, but a mountain range that stretches for hundreds of miles, the mountain is full of jungles, and there are many poisonous insects, beasts, and miasma in the forest. ”

Suba showed appreciation, raised his thumb, and said with a smile: "I can't imagine that Lord Shangguan still knows the territory of the Qixi people well, admiration and admiration, it is really admirable!"

Shangguan Xiu waved his hand and said, "Therefore, the tactics of the Suba Patriarch are not feasible. ”

Suba looked up and smiled, poked his head out, and said, "Lord Shangguan, how could I give you an unfeasible tactic?" Lord Shangguan only knows that Helian Mountain is hundreds of miles long, but he doesn't know that Helian Mountain also has a canyon that can be directly passed from the west of Helian Mountain to the east of the mountain. ”

Shangguan Xiu's heart moved, he looked at Suba in surprise and asked, "There is another valley? I have not seen a record of this valley on the map." ”

Suba was not surprised by this, he said triumphantly: "I don't think even the people of Qixi know about this valley. The entrances and exits of the valley are very hidden, and very narrow, the mountains above are connected, only the mountains below are cracked, and the reason why I know this valley is that I bought it for a lot of money from an old hunter of Qixi. ”

Shangguan Xiu blinked his eyes, puzzled in his heart, what did Suba spend a lot of money to buy the information about the territory of the Qixi tribe? After thinking about it, he suddenly understood that the territory of the Qixi tribe was adjacent to the territory of the Ba tribe, and Suba must have coveted the territory of the Qixi tribe for a long time, so he would bother to get these news.

Seeing that the corners of Shangguan Xiu's mouth were raised, revealing a tacit smile, Suba is also a smart person, it is estimated that Shangguan Xiuye has guessed his thoughts, he smiled and said: "The Qixi people are insatiable, and among the various tribes of Shah, the Qixi people can be regarded as the scum second to none. Especially recently, most of the forests of the Qixi people have been burned, and the prey in the territory has been greatly reduced, and the Qixi people have begun to cross the border into our territory to hunt, and it is useless for me to warn repeatedly, there are more and more Qixi people who come to poach, if it were not for the peace treaty signed by the tribes that year, I would have led the tribe to fight over. ”

"Therefore, this time our army fought with the Qixi people, which is just the right time to help the Suba tribe grow this evil breath. Shangguan Xiu shook his head and smiled.

"No! It's not just as simple as getting angry, I hope ......" Suba's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he said word by word: "I hope that Lord Shangguan can exterminate the Qixi people as he did when he dealt with Xibu Mountain, and in the future, the territory of the Qixi people will be taken over by my Ba tribe." ”

Shangguan Xiu smiled, no wonder Suba was willing to share such important information with him, it turned out that he was playing this wishful thinking.

Destroy 10,000 people of the Fan clan, Shangguan Xiu will not be soft, destroy 100,000 people of the Fan clan, Shangguan Xiu will not be soft, for him, how many people die in the Fan clan is an irrelevant matter, the key is to see how big the cost is.
