Chapter 297 Reception

Shangguan Xiu's words moved Wu Nian very much, but it was precisely like this, he was even more reluctant to stay in Zhenjun. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info he said: "This is the first time that the adults have led an expedition, and the villain has to accompany the adults anyway. ”

"But your body ......"

"Now the villain's body is much stronger than before, and adults don't have to worry about the villain. Wu Nian arched his hand and said.

Shangguan Xiu glanced at Wu Nian deeply, and after thinking about it, he finally nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Wu can go with the army." ”

"Thank you, sir. Wu Nian bowed to the ground with excitement on his face, Shangguan Xiu waved his hand at him, turned his gaze, looked at Kong Di, and said, "Mr. Kong, how about you stay in Zhenjun?"

Kong Di hesitated for a moment, then gave his hand and said, "The villain must follow the arrangement of the adults. ”

"Hmm. Shangguan Xiu stood up and said to everyone present: "Okay, if there is nothing else, everyone go back and prepare, early tomorrow morning, our army will set off and march to Ningnan!"

"Yes, my lord!" all the generals present intervened in the salute, led the order, and withdrew from the county governor's mansion.

To make a long story short, the next day, early in the morning, Shangguan Xiu led the first and second armies of the Zhenjun army to leave Xijing in a mighty way, all the way to the west, and went straight to the Huya Pass in Zhenxi.

Two legions, 200,000 troops, its lineup is huge and magnificent, the marching team is like a long river of twists and turns, boundless, there is no end in sight, among the team, the flag is unfurled, the show belt is fluttering, the drum is beating, looking at the body of the soldiers of the Zhen Army, one by one is also bright armor, the momentum is like a rainbow.

Hearing the news of the Zhenjun's expedition to Ningnan, many people in Xijing and the surrounding areas spontaneously came to see them off, and most of them brought dry food and red ribbons to pray for the soldiers of the Zhenjun.

When the army marched to Huya Pass, almost every soldier carried a bulging bag of dry food in his arms, and his arms, waists, and the top of his helmet were also tied with a lot of red belts. It can also be seen from this that the people of Zhenjun are very supportive of Zhenjun's western expedition to Ningnan and fight for the country.

After leaving Huya Pass, and then westward is the Shah region, and after a day's march, the army arrives at Xibu Mountain. Camped at the foot of Xibu Mountain for a night, the next morning, the army set off from the village, continued to march west, three days later, the Zhen army entered the territory of the Ba people.

Suba, the current patriarch of the Ba tribe, personally came forward to greet Shangguan Xiu. Shangguan Xiu and Suba can be regarded as old acquaintances, Suba can become the patriarch of the Ba clan, Shangguan Xiu helps him and helps him get rid of his biggest competitor, Ding Lun.

Of course, in return, Suba took out the tungsten gold ore in the territory of the Ba tribe and shared it with Shangguan Xiu, which is why the Zhen army has never lacked spiritual weapons.

After the two met, Suba laughed and opened her arms, walked up to Shangguan Xiu, and gave him a big hug. He patted Shangguan Xiu's back vigorously and said, "Lord Shangguan, we haven't seen each other for nearly a year, right?"

Shangguan Xiu also gave Suba a hug back with the etiquette of the Fan clan, and said, "I haven't seen you for more than a year." "Shangguan Xiu has systematically studied the Shah language, and now he has no problem communicating in the Shah language.

When Suba first met Shangguan Xiu, he was only a battalion lieutenant in Huya Pass, and he was only in charge of a thousand people, but in just over a year, Shangguan Xiu had changed from a battalion lieutenant to a county lieutenant, holding four legions and 400,000 soldiers. He grinned and said, "I have long seen that Lord Shangguan is definitely not a thing in the pool, it will be successful one day, and now that I look at it, I was really not wrong." ”

"Haha!" Shangguan Xiu looked up and smiled, waved his hand and said, "Patriarch Suba is too polite. ”

"Lord Shangguan, please come and sit down at the residence of my clan. ”

"Please!" "Please!"

Shangguan Xiu and Suba both got on their horses and walked side by side in front. Luo Ren, Duan Qiyue, Xiao Jue, Wu Yufei and other generals, and Shadow Banner personnel followed, and the entourage brought by Suba also accompanied them.

On the way to the Ba residence, Suba asked, "Lord Shangguan led the army this time through Shah and wants to enter Ningnan?"

Shangguan Xiu nodded and said, "That's right." As he spoke, he saw that Suba's brows were tightly knit, as if there was something unspeakable, Shangguan Xiu asked curiously, "Patriarch Suba has something to say?"

Subba didn't answer immediately, he turned his head and waved to his men behind him, signaling them not to get too close. Seeing this, Shangguan Xiu also glanced at Luo Ren and the others, asking them to stay away.

When there was no one around, Suba leaned over to Shangguan Xiu and said in a low voice: "Lord Shangguan, I can't hide it, recently, I received a batch of silver from Ning Nan, which is 300,000 taels. ”

Shangguan Xiu raised his eyebrows when he heard this, for no reason, how could Ning Nan send so much silver to the Ba people? He asked puzzledly: "Ning Nan has something to ask for the Ba people?"

Suba nodded and whispered: "The envoy of Ningnan said that as long as my Ba tribe is willing to send troops to block the retreat of the Feng army entering Ningnan, in the future, Ningnan will also be willing to send an additional 500,000 taels of silver." ”

Shangguan Xiu gasped. Suba said quietly: " I think, not only my Ba tribe received Ningnan's silver, other big clans should also receive Ningnan's silver, Ningnan this time so generous, it is really impossible not to be moved, if the Feng army enters Ningnan to fight smoothly, can fight successively, I think Shah's tribes will have some concerns, dare not rashly send troops to block the retreat of the Feng army, but if the wind army is unfavorable in the battle, in Ningnan suffered a defeat, whether the tribes will send troops to assist Ningnan is not necessarily, of course, with my relationship with Lord Shangguan, my Ba tribe will naturally not send troops, but other tribes, I dare not guarantee。 ”

Ningnan couldn't borrow soldiers from the Shah tribes, but now he actually played such a trick again! Shangguan Xiu's eyes rolled and he asked, "Patriarch Suba, when did this happen?"

"Just seven or eight days ago. Suba glanced at Shangguan Xiu, cleared his throat, and said slowly: "Ning Nan has not officially asked us to send troops, so he has already taken out a large amount of silver Chapter 297 to receive us

What does this mean? It shows that Ningnan has won the victory, and it shows that Ningnan is confident that he will be able to defeat the invading Feng army, and the Shah tribes will definitely send troops to help it in the end, so it dares to unscrupulously spill a lot of silver as a foreshadowing. Lord Shangguan, you and I have a good relationship, I have to advise you, this time into Ningnan to fight is dangerous, you should be cautious, it is best to be stationed in Shah, do not enter Ningnan. ”

Seeing Shangguan Xiu's wry smile, Suba immediately added: "I know that Lord Shangguan also has an imperial order on his head, and if he leads the army to stay in Shah, he will definitely attract the dissatisfaction and punishment of the Emperor of the Wind Country, but now there is a good opportunity." ”

Shangguan Xiu asked, "Oh, what kind of opportunity?"

"Lord Shangguan put a big fire in the territory of the Qixi clan last time, burning most of the forests of the Qixi people, this hatred, the Qixi people have never forgotten. When the Feng army goes to Ningnan, it is bound to pass through the territory of the Qixi people, with the character of the Qixi people who want money and do not want to die, they will definitely send troops to stop them, and they will be willing to compensate them before they are allowed to go, and the Shangguan people can fight with them first, deliberately defeated, and then they can naturally be stationed outside the territory of the Qixi people, so that the emperor and the court of the Feng country will also have an explanation. Suba said as she danced on her horse.

Shangguan Xiu rubbed his chin and said with a smile: "This suggestion of the Suba patriarch sounds really good. ”

Suba smiled on his back, patted Shangguan Xiu's back, and then said with emotion: "I regard Lord Shangguan as a friend, and of course I don't want something to happen to Lord Shangguan." The people of Ningnan are cunning, who knows what kind of ghost they are fighting behind their backs, in my opinion, this battle, Lord Shangguan can still avoid it!"

Shangguan Xiu said quietly: "If I choose to avoid the battle now, what will happen to the 100,000 soldiers who fought in Ningnan before?"

"This ......"

"If Ningnan really harbors a conspiracy and I still sit idly by, won't the 100,000 soldiers be certain to die? Therefore, regardless of whether Ningnan has a conspiracy or not, it is inevitable that our army will enter Ningnan to fight. As he spoke, Shangguan Xiu also patted Suba's shoulder and said meaningfully: "I am very grateful for the kindness of Patriarch Suba, but it is absolutely impossible for me to avoid war!"

Suba took a deep look at Shangguan Xiu, shook his head helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "Lord Shangguan, don't think that I am now a lobbyist for Ningnan, although I have accepted the money from Ningnan people, I have never promised to do things for Ningnan people." ”

"The Ba brothers have always attached great importance to integrity, and of course I have great trust in the Suba patriarch. Shangguan Xiu said categorically: "However, I have to fight this battle with Ningnan, and the Suba patriarch doesn't have to persuade me anymore." ”

Suba nodded, and sure enough, he didn't say more, he changed his words, and said with a laugh: "It's rare for Lord Shangguan to come, today, I have to drink with Lord Shangguan, and I will rest when I get drunk." ”

Shangguan Xiu smiled, and entered the Ba tribe's residence with Su Ba with a smile.

The Ba people are a large ethnic group, and there are several large settlements, and there are even more scattered settlements. Suba took Shangguanxiu and others to the nearest residence, the scale here is very large, large and small wooden houses are next to each other, all over the mountains, among which there are many Ba people, streets and alleys, people come and go, if you build a city wall around the residence, then this is similar to a large city.

After entering the residence, the Ba people on the road saw Suba, all of them knelt on the ground respectfully and saluted, Suba had long been accustomed to this, and did not take a second look, and said while walking forward: "Lord Shangguan, this place is called Agra, and there are 50,000 or 60,000 people from my tribe. ”

Shangguan Xiu was here for the first time, looking at the wooden buildings around him, as well as the Ba people dressed differently and wearing all kinds of animal skins, he felt that it was quite fresh, and he asked, "Is the Suba patriarch staying here for a long time?"
