The value of the Spirit Flame Gun cannot be measured by money, and even if there is money, it cannot be bought. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
To make a spirit fire gun, you need the top level of craftsmanship at the moment, and there are only a handful of places in the world that can make a spirit fire gun, and in the entire Wind Country, only the forge in Zhenjun has this ability.
Shangguan Xiu gave Pang Fei five spirit muskets at once, which can be called a big deal, Pang Fei was greatly moved, and others were red-eyed.
When Pang Fei retreated satisfied, the rest of the legion commanders immediately said: "Lord Shangguan, you can't favor one over the other, the brothers of the Fifth Legion are desperate in the national war, but we are not idle, and we are also bleeding and sweating on the battlefield!"
"That's it! Lord Shangguan gave the Fifth Legion five spirit muskets, so you can't say nothing to our legions!"
Shangguan Xiu likes to deal with the generals and soldiers in the army, and compared with the civilian ministers, the personalities of the generals are simpler and more direct, and they can say whatever they want in their hearts, and they don't have so many fancy intestines.
Looking around at the commanders of the surrounding armies, Shangguan Xiu looked up and smiled, these commanders who were dominating on the battlefield were like a group of children competing for candy at this time.
He said boldly: "This time, I will not hide the twenty spirit muskets that were transported to the Zhenjun Army, and I will take them all out and distribute them to the generals!"
Hearing this, the eagerness on people's faces decreased slightly, and one by one they showed joy. Input to the website: heiyaΠΏge to watch the intoxicated Zhang Jie
However, after the distribution of the spirit musket, everyone was not satisfied, and soon some generals proposed to ask for the new type of firearm that the Zhenjun army had just installed, which was called a beautiful name, so that the soldiers of the regiment would first be familiar with the characteristics of the new firecracker.
Shangguan Xiu can see it now, they are completely holding the mentality of coming to share the meat, and they have made every effort to scavenge as much as possible from the Zhenjun army.
Just when he was overwhelmed, Tang Ling sent someone over and summoned him to see him. Shangguan Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly said that it was the right time to come, he stood up, exchanged a few words of simple greetings with the generals of the surrounding armies, and walked away.
As he left, Luo Ren, Zhan Xiong, Hu Chong, An Yifu, Zi Yiling, Nie Zhen, Jiang Leopard, Qi Fei, and Duan Zhiqing also stood up and walked out quickly.
Walking beside Shangguan Xiu, Nie Zhen said indignantly: "Ah Xiu, the generals of the various armies are a group of bloodsuckers, if you give them one, they will want two, if you give them two, they will think about three, you will never be able to satisfy them!"
Shangguan Xiu shook his head and smiled, and said: "Our army's equipment is indeed backward now, and when the Besa people popularize paper shell bullets, and our soldiers are still using sub-loading ammunition, they will only be crushed by others when they go to the battlefield." β
Nie Zhen asked curiously, "Didn't Zhenjun already start producing a new type of firearm equipped with paper shell bullets?"
Shangguan Xiu said: "I just don't know when these new firecrackers will be distributed to all armies by the imperial court." β
Nie Zhen snorted coldly and said, "Those bastards in the court are holding on to the new equipment and refusing to distribute it, don't they want to get more benefits from the various armies? Seeing that the national war has been won, and all the armies have captured a lot of booty in Besa, which of those ministers is not salivating? Which one doesn't want to share a spoonful of soup?"
Jiang Leopard answered: "When the general is here, each army only needs to fight the general, but now that the general is gone, there are more people who exploit us!"
"Therefore, I can understand the difficulties of all armies, but Zhenjun really can't come up with so much money to support the army of the whole country!" Shangguan Xiu said helplessly.
Zi Yiling suddenly said: "The general was captured by the Bessa, even if he can return home safely in the end, I'm afraid, I will resign from the office, right?"
The dignified general, the first position in the army, was captured alive by the enemy, no matter how thick-skinned Wu Peng is, he has no face to be a general again.
His words made everyone's eyes light up, and then, people's eyes looked at Shangguan Xiu in unison. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the position of general is vacant, and the most qualified person to take over is no one else except Shangguan Xiu.
The corners of Nie Zhen's mouth raised, and he said with a smile: "Ah Xiu, in my opinion, this position of general belongs to you!"
"Hmm!" everyone present nodded in unison, indicating that Nie Zhen was right.
Shangguan Xiu didn't expect much from this. Wu Peng did have an unshirkable responsibility for the failure of the Battle of Sail City, but his final performance still made Shangguan Xiu's opinion of him change a lot, in order to cover the emperor, he was willing to sacrifice himself, his integrity was enough, and the main reason why Wu Peng was captured by the Besa army this time was precisely because he swore to cover Tang Ling.
He said slowly: "Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and when two armies fight, who dares to guarantee that they will never be defeated? We cannot erase all the exploits of General Wu just because he was captured." β
Listening to Shangguan Xiu's words, he seemed to be talking to Wu Peng, and everyone was a little surprised. Zi Yiling's eyes rolled, and she quickly understood Shangguan Xiu's thoughts.
He smiled and said knowingly: "The general does have merits, but because of his merits, he can't miss the good opportunity that has been obtained, he is soft-hearted, this is not Ah Xiu's style!
Zi Yiling understands Shangguan Xiu's personality, his ruthlessness will only be used on the enemy, and for the people on his side, he is surprisingly tolerant and generous most of the time.
"Let me think about this matter again. Shangguan Xiu smiled and said, "What's more, whether General Wu can continue to be a general, and who can replace him, is not something I can decide, it still depends on Your Majesty's will." β
"In this national war, Ah Xiu has the greatest credit, which no one can deny. In terms of titles, Ah Xiu has reached the top, and there is no title to be promoted, in terms of money, the money of Zhenjun and Shura Hall is comparable to the treasury, rich and rival the country, the only thing Your Majesty can reward Ah Xiu is only the promotion of official positions, as long as Ah Xiuken tries his best to fight for it, the position of general is within reach. Ziyi Ling Zhengse said.
Shangguan Xiu smiled and didn't say anything more. Walking out of the corridor, he stopped, turned around and said, "I'm going to see Your Majesty, you can go and relax, and all the expenses in the city can be recorded in my account." β
Nie Zhen didn't miss out on the business because of his words, he said: "Ah Xiu, if you don't take advantage of this opportunity to bring down Wu Peng, I'm afraid that this position of general won't be your turn in another ten years......"
Shangguan Xiu waved his hand, interrupted Nie Zhen's words, and said, "Okay, there is no need to say more about this matter, I have my own plans in my heart." After speaking, he waved his hand to everyone again and walked towards Tang Ling's bedroom.
Looking at Shangguan Xiu's back, Nie Zhen asked, "Big brother, I don't think Ah Xiu seems to have the intention of taking the opportunity to bring down Wu Peng!"
Zi Yiling smiled bitterly, and said quietly: "If Wu Peng is captured because he is greedy for life and afraid of death, with Ah Xiu's character, he will never be merciful to him, and it is bad that he was captured in order to cover His Majesty and fight with the enemy, which makes it difficult for Ah Xiu to be ruthless to him anymore and be ruthless!"
Luo Ren, Zhan Xiong, Hu Chong, and An Yifu all nodded their heads, and Zi Yiling's words can be said to be three points, and Brother Xiu is indeed such a character.
Nie Zhen took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "If Ah Xiu is unwilling to do it, then it is up to us brothers to help him do it." It is a joke and a shame for a man who has been a prisoner of the enemy to continue to sit on the throne of the great general!"
Everyone present looked at each other, and no one objected to Nie Zhen's words. In public and private, of course, they all hope that Shangguan Xiu can become a general and become the first person in the Feng Army.
Zi Yiling took a deep look at Nie Zhen and reminded: "Ah Zhen, for this matter, you must not be impatient and impulsive, you need to take your time step by step!"
Let's talk about Shangguan Xiu and go to Tang Ling's bedroom. Tang Ling's bedroom is also a Besa style furnishings and decoration, the ceiling is hung with crystal chandeliers, the ground is covered with a thick carpet, at the end of the bedroom, there is a large bed that four or five people lie on it will not be crowded, there is a thick and soft velvet quilt on it, the pillars at the four corners of the bed are gilded, the end of the carving, exquisite.
It can be seen that when Chu Ziyin built this palace for Tang Ling, he also spent a lot of thought, as for the money thrown in, it was all scavenged from the local Besa people in Beijun, and no one would feel distressed if they spent more and less money.
Tang Ling sat in front of the ivory dresser, first beckoned to Shangguan Xiu with a smile, and then pointed to a letter placed on the dresser.
Shangguan Xiu stepped forward, picked up the letter, looked at the seal on it, and said, "It's a letter from King Besa." β
"Peter hopes that the two countries can negotiate the exchange of prisoners of war, and he proposed, first exchange the general for Jessica, Ah Xiu, what do you mean?
Shangguan Xiu just played with the envelope, did not pull out the letter paper inside, pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "Peter wants to use the lieutenant general of my country's army to exchange for the golden branches and jade leaves of the Besa country, and of course Besa earned it." β
Tang Ling nodded as he listened, and seemed to agree with Shangguan Xiu's words.
However, he changed his words and said: "However, General Wu has the merit of saving Xiang'er, and he also has the feeling of sharing weal and woe, and on this alone, even if our country exchanges all the Besa prisoners for only one person, it is worth it!"
Hearing his words, a flash of surprise flashed in Tang Ling's eyes, and he looked at Shangguan Xiu for a long time, Fang retracted his gaze, the corners of his mouth raised, and said with a smile: "Ah Xiu can say this, I am very pleased." β
Shangguan Xiu put the letter in his hand back on the dresser. Tang Ling asked with a smile on his face and in a brisk tone, "I heard that after I left just now, the generals of various armies were asking you for benefits?"
He sighed and said, "Actually, the imperial court should have issued new weapons and equipment to the armies a long time ago, but the ministers have been delaying, waiting for the armies to give them enough benefits. β
Tang Ling said: "It seems that it is really not possible without the general, in the past, these things were coordinated by the general with the ministers, and the general has always handled it very well, but now the general is not here for the time being, and the person who coordinates in the middle has been lost, and the relationship between the two sides has immediately become tense." β
Shangguan Xiu understood that Tang Ling was letting himself dispel his thoughts of competing for the position of general.
With his current prestige in the army, if he really competes for the position of general, even if Wu Peng does not take the initiative to resign, he can kick Wu Peng out of office.
Now it seems that Tang Ling has no intention of abandoning Wu Peng. Of course, it is not difficult to understand that Tang Ling would use such an idea, Wu Peng was captured in order to cover her out of trouble, and she felt a little guilty in her heart for Wu Peng.
