Jiang Wei was alone in the tent quietly thinking about some things that had happened recently, his thoughts were very chaotic and he needed to sort them out.

He became more and more curious about what this Qinglong Baoyu did?

It's a pity that Zhuge Liang didn't have time to explain it to himself before he died, but at least there is more information now, maybe there are four pieces of this treasure jade.

And this Baoyu currently has a wonderful use that has been verified twice, that is, whenever Jiang Wei encounters a desperate situation, Baoyu will turn into a green dragon to save himself.

But Zhuge Liang originally passed on a copy of his "Taiyi True Scripture", but he never succeeded in cultivating, and Jiang Wei also fell into self-doubt that he was not the material for cultivating spells.

"That's weird, isn't it? Prime Minister Zhuge Liang passed on his true qi, and also passed the "Taiyi True Scripture" and Qinglong Baoyu to himself, indicating that Zhuge Liang must be very optimistic about himself. ”

"Zhuge Liang once praised himself as a talent of the Qilin before, and it stands to reason that he should be a unique wizard of magic cultivation, why can't he touch it today?" Jiang Wei secretly complained in his heart.

At noon the next day, Liang Xu took Shi Kuang to Xisui City.

After seeing Shi Kuang, after some greetings, Jiang Wei asked straight to the point:

"General Ben heard that Mr. Shi Lao has a piece of the national treasure of Soochow in his hand, so he attracted the disaster of killing, I don't know if this matter is serious?"

When Shi Kuang heard Jiang Wei's words, he was taken aback and looked at Jiang Wei in disbelief.

Jiang Wei was shocked when he saw Shi Kuang, presumably he definitely didn't expect Jiang Wei to know about this matter, so he said to Jiang Wei: "This matter is a long story, can you ask the general to retreat?" ”

Jiang Wei originally didn't want Liang Xu to avoid it, but Liang Xu took the initiative to bow his hand to Jiang Wei and withdrew from the tent.

Shi Kuang then said: "Don't hide it from the general, I do have a piece of the treasure of Eastern Wu, which is the Xuanwu Treasure." ”

"Oh? How did you get this Xuanwu Jade? And what is the wonderful use, it can make the Lord of Wu take the risk of war between the two countries, and also recover it? Jiang Wei asked curiously.

Shi Kuang replied:

"This Xuanwu treasure jade is the treasure that Zhou Yu obtained by chance, as for what the magic use, I really don't know, but I have been in Wu for many years as a hostage, and I have heard Lu Xun mention it, saying that this treasure can be worth 100,000 troops."

"Because of the treachery of the Wu State and the slaughter of the entire family of our Shi family, I did everything possible to seize this thing, that is, I first relied on this thing to recapture Jiaozhou."

"Oh? Then I guess you only know that this thing can be worth 100,000 soldiers, but you don't know how this thing can be worth 100,000 soldiers, so you are now in the situation of being hunted down and killed. ”

"What the general said is very true!" Shi Kuang nodded.

"Can you give the Xuanwu Baoyu to General Ben?" Jiang Wei then asked.

Shi Kuang said: "The general forgives the sin, it's not that he can't trust the general, I didn't carry this thing with me, but I hid it in a very secret place, if the general wants this thing, it's okay, but I also have a condition." ”

Jiang Wei asked, "What conditions?" ”

"Please send the generals to Jiaozhou, help me recapture Jiaozhou, let me be Jiaozhi Taishou, I will give this treasure to the general, with the connections accumulated by my family in Jiaozhou for several generations, I believe that it can also defend a stable southern Xinjiang for the Han Dynasty."

Jiang Wei thought for a while and said: "If I send troops to Jiaozhou, I will spend a lot of money, and without His Majesty's will, I am afraid it will not be good to rashly start a war with Eastern Wu!" ”

Shi Kuang stroked his long beard and said:

"The general can rest assured, this time it is clear that Nanzhong, which is the advanced prisoner of Eastern Wu, and our army is also famous for sending troops to Jiaozhou, and I believe that the lord of Shu will definitely not surrender. As for the money and food consumed by the labor expedition, the general can rest assured that the wealth accumulated by our family over the years is enough to cover the expenses of the army. ”

"Oh, so to speak, although your Shi family was wiped out back then, the family wealth did not all fall into the hands of Eastern Wu?" Jiang Wei was a little curious.

"It's the so-called cunning rabbit three caves, my Shi family has been operating in Jiaozhou for many years, how can it be so easy for Dongwu to succeed?"

Jiang Wei suddenly felt that he had underestimated the old man Shi Kuang before, but he didn't expect this old man to look elegant and dignified, but in fact, he was a ghost in his heart.

So he asked, "How can I trust that you can pay for the military?" ”

Shi Kuang reached out and took out a bag from his arms, and then took out a pearl from the bag, which looked the size of a dragon's eye, and was held in his hand.

If you look closely, the pearl is round and jade, white and flawless, as if there is a faint light, and you will know that it is a priceless pearl.

Shi Kuang said: "General, please see, this thing is the best thousand-year-old South China Sea pearl, one is worth a thousand gold, like this pearl, my family has hundreds." This one will be given to the general as a greeting gift. ”

"Xiu'er!" Jiang Wei sighed secretly in his heart.

"Damn, this old guy is really good at pretending, there are hundreds of such thousand-year-old pearls, isn't it worth 100,000 gold? Isn't this so rich! ”

Jiang Wei suddenly felt that Shi Kuang was really hidden, and he turned out to be a low-key tyrant, and there were hundreds of such superb thousand-year-old pearls.

However, if you want to be able to escape the looting of Dongwu, it will naturally not be gold and silver, but only treasures that are small in size and easy to hide, so they can be preserved.

If you have money and don't make money, Jiang Wei originally planned to continue to go south and enter Jiaozhou, but now with the financial blessing of the Shi family, there is even more reason to send troops, so Jiang Wei said with an awe-inspiring face:

"Mr. Shi, rest assured, this general is bound to send troops to Jiaozhou to avenge the whole Shi family, and let the people of Jiaozhou return to the arms of the Han Dynasty!"

When Shi Kuang heard this, he was moved to prostrate on the ground, kowtowed three times in a row, and said to Jiang Wei:

"General Xie Jiangwei's kindness, this great kindness, my Shi Kuang is unforgettable, and he will tie the grass ring in order to repay it."

After bidding farewell to Shi Kuang, who was moved, Jiang Wei quickly convened the generals to discuss the matter of the troops entering Jiaozhou.

At first, Hua Wei was a little opposed, believing that Jiaozhou was the boundary of Soochow after all, and entering Jiaozhou might bring endless war to the south-central border.

But Jiang Wei said: "Queen of Flowers, we have to take a long-term view, if our army takes Jiaozhou, then Nanzhong will no longer be the border of Wushu, but Jiaozhou will become the border, wouldn't it be more conducive to the stability of Nanzhong." ”

Since Hua Wei discovered the relationship between Jiang Wei and Guan Yinping, he has been a little lukewarm to Jiang Wei, so he said coldly:

"You are the boss, whatever you say, this queen will do it!"

Zhang Xue thought for a while, took a step forward and said: "General, as soon as the war starts, I'm afraid that the war between the two countries will be endless, should we ask Your Majesty first?" ”

Jiang Wei comforted: "The battle was not started by my Shu Han, everyone has entered Nanzhong, if our army does not react, Your Majesty will condemn you." Don't worry, Your Majesty ordered me to patrol Nanzhong on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and I will bear any problems! ”

Guan Suo seemed to want to say something, but he wanted to say it and stopped.

Guan Yinping was very supportive of Jiang Wei's decision, after all, he had newly obtained 3,000 soldiers and horses from Pan Ping's remnants, all of which were given by Jiang Wei, so Jiang Wei said whatever he wanted.

Zhuge Zhan is even more indifferent, anyway, he came out to experience this trip, if he can follow Jiang Wei to make the credit of expanding the territory, it will be better, even if he can't do it, Jiang Wei will bear the responsibility if something goes wrong, and he doesn't have to worry.

Jiang Wei saw that everyone's opinions were still not unanimous, and the big war was imminent, if the generals disagreed, it would be a big taboo.

So Jiang Wei took out the superb thousand-year-old pearl that Shi Kuang gave him. As soon as the pearl came out, the eyes of the two women Hua Qi and Guan Yinping suddenly straightened, and the rest of the people were also amazed, such a big pearl, such a color, it is really rare.

Seeing everyone's reaction like this, Jiang Wei felt a little proud in his heart, and said with a smile:

"Ladies and gentlemen, Jiaozhou is close to the South China Sea, and this one is the South China Sea pearl presented by Shi Kuangjin, which is worth a thousand gold in the Central Plains, but it is not so rare in the South China Sea."

"Shi Kuang promised that all the military funds required for this march into Jiaozhou would be funded by the Shi family, and the Shi family was willing to take out a hundred of these pearls to help the Han army."

As soon as Jiang Wei said this, everyone gasped, they couldn't imagine that Shi Kuang was so wealthy.

In this way, everyone no longer thinks about this pearl, not only the hundred pearls promised by Shikuang, but feels that Jiaozhou is a place full of pearls, and everyone is envious.

"Do you have any objections?" Jiang Wei looked around and asked loudly.

Everyone shook their heads.

Seeing that everyone had reached an agreement, Jiang Wei was excited in his heart and ordered everyone:

"I have made up my mind, the whole army, send troops to the state!"
