It's a pity that Shangguan Xiu's letter was sent too late.
There was nothing to say that night, and the next morning, Shangguan Xiu bid farewell to Suba and returned to his own military camp. Suba sent 2,000 'wind troops' to the Zhen army camp with Shangguan Xiu.
These two thousand people, whether they are military uniforms, armor, or military badges, weapons, and armaments that they carry with them, are exactly the same as the Wind Army. It's just that these two thousand people are not Fengren, but Ba people, and the leader of the team is Suba's son, Gu Cheng.
These two thousand sets of armaments were taken from the camp of the Zhen army by Suba last night, and Suba wanted to help Shangguan Xiu, of course, he could not be seen by others, once the other tribes knew that the Ba tribe had helped the Fengren to destroy the Qixi tribe, they would inevitably be excluded and disgusted by all tribes.
Over the past year or so, Gu Cheng has also learned the wind language with a Zhenjun accent, and it is quite smooth to communicate with Shangguan Xiu in wind language.
Walking in the direction of the barracks with Shangguan Xiu, Gu Cheng arched his hand and said: "What Lord Shangguan has done in Zhenjun in the past year is really impressive!"
Shangguan Xiu smiled leisurely on the horse and said indifferently: "Brother Gu Qian has won the award, I'm just lucky." ā
"I don't believe in luck, I only believe in strength, Lord Shangguan is a friend worth making. Gu Cheng said slowly: "Since we are friends, I believe that there will be many opportunities for us to cooperate with each other and seek benefits together in Shah in the future." ā
"Oh?" Shangguan Xiu asked with a smile, "Could it be that the Ba tribe has a thorn in their eyes and a thorn in their flesh, except for the Qixi tribe, or is it another tribe?"
Gu Cheng glanced at Shangguan Xiu, the corners of his mouth raised, and said: "What is the Qixi clan, it's not worth mentioning at all, what the Ba clan wants is far more than the Qixi clan's territory, Lord Shangguan may understand the meaning of my words?"
If Suba's ambition is hidden, then the ambition of the ancient transcript is sharp. In front of Shangguan Xiu, he did not hide his true intentions at all. After speaking, seeing Shangguan Xiu smiling lightly, he said with a deep gaze: "A strong friend can be called a real 'good friend'." The weak Ba people are of no benefit to Lord Shangguan, and only the strong Ba people can benefit Lord Shangguan a lot. ā
"Really? Like?"
"For example, if Lord Shangguan has the heart to fight against the Imperial Court of the Wind Kingdom in Zhenjun, then the powerful Ba clan is Lord Shangguan's most indestructible backing. Gu Cheng said with a smile: "In my eyes, Lord Shangguan can see what I want, and in the eyes of Lord Shangguan, I can also see what you want." You and I are the same kind of people, both are not satisfied with the status quo and want to get more. ā
In Shangguan Xiu's ears, what Gu Cheng said earlier was nonsense, but his last sentence was said in his heart.
He squinted his eyes with a smile, but he couldn't hide the light from the eagle's eyes. Suddenly, he thought Gu Cheng was quite interesting.
He shrugged his shoulders and said quietly, "The chances of the same kind of people becoming friends are not very large, but the chances of becoming enemies are not small. ā
Gu Cheng looked at Shangguan Xiu and asked, "Lord Shangguan thinks that we will become friends or enemies?"
Shangguan Xiu stroked the silver hair on his chest and asked rhetorically, "Does that matter?"
He was silent for a while, and then he understood Shangguan Xiu's intention to ask, and said with a wry smile: "It may not be important now, but in the future, it may not be necessary." ā
"Later, let's talk about the future later!" Shangguan Xiu smiled and waved his hand.
To make a long story short, Shangguan Xiu and the others returned to the camp of the Zhen Army and met with the generals, Shangguan Xiu first introduced the ancient transcripts, and then told everyone about the tactics he had discussed with Suba.
Attacking the Qixi tribe, all the generals have no objections, it is just a matter of passing by.
Wu Nian suddenly asked, "My lord, what if the people of Qixi didn't set up a barrier in Helian Mountain?"
Shangguan Xiu thought for a while and said, "If the Qixi people don't come and take the initiative to make trouble, our army will go directly through the territory of the Qixi people." Hearing his words, Gu Chengdun frowned, and just about to speak, Shangguan Xiu waved his hand to him and smiled, and said: "Don't worry, I promised the Suba patriarch what happened, and I will definitely do it, but now the time is pressing, if we can not fight, it is naturally the best, and when our army returns triumphantly, it is not too late to help the brothers of the Ba tribe to level the Qixi people." ā
Gu Cheng rubbed his chin and said, "I believe that Lord Shangguan is a person who believes in his word. ā
Shangguan Xiu smiled indifferently, and then said in a loud voice: "Pass the order, the whole army will pull out the village and continue to march west." ā
After all, Suba knows the Qixi people better than the wind people.
When the wind army arrived at the territory of the Qixi tribe, they looked ahead, only to see that a long stone wall had been built on the top of the bare Helian Mountain, and there was no edge in sight, and there were Qixi people standing above and below the stone wall with weapons in hand.
Seeing this situation, Shangguan Xiu nodded secretly, Suba really understood the Qixi people thoroughly.
Just when Shangguan Xiu took the generals of the Zhen army to observe the situation on the top of the mountain, a soldier ran over and reported: "My lord, there is a famous fanzi who came down the mountain, claiming to be the envoy of the Qixi tribe, and asked to see your lordship. ā
Shangguan Xiu said expressionlessly: "Bring him over." ā
"Yes, my lord!" it didn't take long for the soldiers to run away, bringing over a middle-aged man from the Qixi clan. The man walked up to everyone, slowly scanned his eyes from left to right, and asked loudly in a half-baked voice, "Which of you is Shangguan Xiu......
Before he finished speaking, the middle-aged man felt a flower in front of him, followed by a crisp snap, his head buzzed, and then it went blank.
When he came back to his senses, he found that he had already sat on the ground, his right cheek was like a pinprick, and he subconsciously raised his hand, and the right side of his face was already swollen.
At some point, a young man stood beside him, dressed in black and wearing a black hat behind his back, glaring at him angrily and saying in a deep voice: "Bold Chapter 300 declares war."
What crime should you be guilty of calling adults by name?"
Only then did the middle-aged man realize that he had just been slapped by the other party. He struggled to get up from the ground, swallowed his saliva, and asked in a trembling voice, "Please...... Excuse me, which one is Shangguan...... Lord Shangguan?"
"What's the matter with you?" Shangguan Xiu sat on his horse, his eyes still falling on the top of the mountain, and he asked without looking back,
The middle-aged man subconsciously looked over, he couldn't see Shangguan Xiu's face, he could only see his back. He put his hand on his right cheek and asked cautiously, "You...... You're Lord Shangguan?"
Shangguan Xiu did not reply.
The expression on the middle-aged man's face was embarrassed and angry, and there was also a bit of fear. He took a deep breath and took two steps forward, he only took two steps, Xiao Jue, who was standing on the side, lifted his leg and kicked him in the crook of his knee, and the middle-aged man involuntarily pounced forward and knelt on one knee to the ground.
He glanced back at Xiao Jue, and saw that the latter's hand was already holding the handle of the saber, he shrank his neck in fright, and he didn't dare to take any more breaths, and stammered to Shangguan Xiu: "I...... My name is...... Shengo ......"
"It doesn't matter what your name is, just say what you mean. Shangguan Xiu still didn't look back when he spoke.
The middle-aged man said: "Previously, in order to defeat the Ningnan army, Lord Shangguan once set a fire in our clan's territory, and later Lord Shangguan led the wind army to withdraw, but it brought a devastating disaster to our Qixi clan. This fire burned all the forests in our territory, and for thousands of years, our people have lived by hunting in our territory, and you have burned all our forests and driven away our prey, which is equivalent to cutting off our people's way of life......"
Without waiting for him to speak, Shangguan Xiu, who was riding on a horse, suddenly raised his arm, the middle-aged man was stunned, and the words behind him also paused. He warned word by word: "I repeat it, explain your purpose directly, or I will have your tongue cut out!"
The middle-aged man shuddered and blurted out, "Our patriarch wants Lord Shangguan to compensate for the losses of our Qixi clan. ā
"How much?"
"Huh?"
"How much do you want me to pay?"
"Well, our patriarch said, as long as Lord Shangguan is willing to compensate us Qixi clan for 500,000 taels of silver, our Qixi clan is a friend of the Fengren, and will treat the Fengren brothers with good wine and meat, if Lord Shangguan refuses to compensate, then the Fengren are the enemies of my Qixi clan, dare to step into the territory of our clan, and my Qixi clan warriors ......"
Before he finished speaking, he saw Shangguan Xiu take out a silver ingot of five taels from his waist, threw it back casually, threw it in front of the middle-aged man, and said, "This is the most compensation I can give you." Either you let us cross the mountain, or we will fight the mountain ourselves. ā
Looking at the five taels of silver ingots that fell in front of him, the middle-aged man's face was red and white, and the soldiers of the Zhen Army around him were all laughing.
"Do you want 500,000 taels of silver? Don't pee and take a picture of what you are, it's good if the adults are willing to give you five taels of silver!" "Haha-"
The middle-aged man couldn't help it anymore, he stood up from the ground suddenly, raised his hand and pointed at Shangguan Xiu's back angrily, and roared: "Shangguan Xiu, you deceive people too much......
As soon as his roar came out, Xiao Jue's saber was already unsheathed, and his figure swept past the middle-aged man, and at the same time, a cold light also appeared in front of the middle-aged man.
With a crisp sound, the middle-aged man pointed at Shangguan Xiu's hand, his wrist was cut off and fell to the ground, the wound was smooth, like a mirror.
After a while, blood spurted out of his broken bowl, and the middle-aged man let out a scream, holding his broken bowl and screaming as he retreated.
Shangguan Xiu looked ahead and said, "I won't kill you, just because you are here, go back and tell your patriarch that if you dare to be the enemy of our wind army, my gale soldiers will crush every bone of him!"
