Chapter 493: The Tang Army Arrives

In a makeshift barracks tent, five thousand-strong generals finally gathered at a table, looking at each other, but their eyes were slightly different.

Strictly speaking, they are already rebellious. It's just that some people seem to be riding the wind and waves in front of a big boat, while some people only think about blocking the wind and rain in front of them by others in the back, and some people even sway on both sides, considering whether to continue to follow the boat or simply go to another channel.

Zhang Jiuxin was originally the one who swayed on both sides, but at this time he had changed his mind.

In fact, the death threat from Qin Ke was not the main reason for him to change his mind, after all, since he was a traitor, no matter how profound and powerful the verbal promise was, I am afraid that the credibility of it is also questionable.

After leaving the camp, even if Qin Ke is a cultivator with good cultivation, is it possible that he can really take his head among the thousands of troops?

However, he was indeed moved by Qin Ke's words, and then thought about Wang Xuanwei who was guarding outside the valley, and he was even more confident in his heart, as for whether he could save his life when he returned to Xingzhou, he didn't care so much, at least with his understanding of Guo Kai, that scribe-like Xingzhou county guard was not a mad person, and he would not be angry with his whole family because of his own mistakes......

Lin Xin sat down in the tent, and the first sentence was a little tentative, although the smile on his face was still the same, there seemed to be some ill-intentioned meaning hidden in a few not deep wrinkles.

"Brother Zhang, it's so hard to wait for my Lao Lin, if you hadn't personally brought someone over, I thought it would be ...... You don't want to do anything with us because you have other concerns? ”

Zhang Jiuxin smiled slightly, arched his hand without leaking, and said: "Let General Lin laugh, those brothers under the account have made a little trouble and delayed some incidents, but fortunately, they are all resolved, and thanks to General Lin sending Vice General Xu over, otherwise I am afraid that there will be trouble for a while......"

Lin Xin nodded, and didn't ask where the "Deputy General Xu" he sent over was now, but instead looked at the emaciated figure behind Zhang Jiuxin, "General Zhang, this little brother of the guard looks at the face." ”

Qin Ke was wearing a newly changed armor, which looked very fit, and the blood stains on his face before were also washed clean, looking delicate and immature, and even more timid.

Seeing Lin Xin's gaze, Qin Ke subconsciously lowered his head, worried that Lin Xin would recognize him as the wounded soldier who had been carried away on the stretcher before.

After all, he couldn't be sure if Lin Xin was very familiar with everyone before he sent these assassins to assassinate Guo Kai, or if he just picked a few good soldiers as if he were just catching strong men, and temporarily put together a "death squad"?

Zhang Jiuxin didn't panic at all, turned around with a smile and said: "Several generals don't know, if it weren't for the loyalty of this kid, I'm afraid I would have died in the hands of that group of troublemakers...... So, I also want to promote this kid and bring him to listen to the generals more, and he can always learn something, right?"

Hearing this, the other generals all laughed, and Lin Xin couldn't help but look at Qin Ke twice, but he didn't bother to do any more temptation at the moment, and waved his hand and said: "Where is it, General Zhang has been fighting horses for many years and has killed countless enemy troops, how can he be powerless...... Now that everyone is together, let's stop saying those polite words, and discuss how to get rid of Guo Kai's old puppet. ”

As soon as Lin Xin's words came out, the expressions on the faces of all the generals tightened, this is also the issue that everyone is most concerned about, if you want to surrender to the Tang Army, you must first win the trust of others, and in exchange for this trust, the best vote is Guo Kai's head.

In the eyes of everyone, Lin Xin stood up and walked to the corner of the big tent, and made a respectful "please" gesture to a cloaked figure, and said, "Let me introduce you, this is Mr. Zhu, the envoy of the Tang Kingdom." He came this time with General Yunlu's military order, as long as we get Guo Kai's head, he can help us contact the Tang army and ensure that we are safe and sound out of the valley. ”

In fact, there was no need for him to introduce him, several generals who had entered the tent earlier had already noticed this person who had no armor and looked out of place.

The reason why he has no armor is because both he and Tang Jun know very well that if someone wants to kill him, it will be effortless at all, and he doesn't even have to use a sword, just a pair of fists and kicks to make him die thoroughly.

But the more than 20,000 Tang troops outside Pinggu are equivalent to his armor, as long as he encounters any accidents, the fragile trust of the two sides will fall directly to the bottom, and the Tang army will no longer have any intention of surrendering, and the Mo cavalry can only die if they can't wait for foreign aid.

"Hello everyone. Mr. Zhu took a step forward, pushed down the hat of the cloak, folded his hands and was level with his chest, but there was a little scattering between the salutes, and the two mustaches trembled slightly with his smile, and he couldn't see any fairy wind bones, but he could make people interpret a little cunning from it.

"So this is Mr. Zhu?" Zhang Jiuxin laughed, and also stood up and saluted, "General Lin hides deep enough on weekdays...... Fortunately, I will be glad to have it. ”

Lin Xin frowned, but said with a smile: "The stakes are very high, Mr. Zhu's identity is special, so I naturally don't want him to come out to meet people easily." Now that we are all in the same boat, we don't have to hide anymore. ”

Mr. Zhu followed: "It's not that General Lin deliberately didn't let me see you, but I have to be cautious in this matter, at that time, Lord Guo Kaiguo was in charge of the three counties, if I exposed my deeds and ended up with a dead end, how can you come to surrender?"

"But ......" Mr. Zhu gently pinched the beard on the side of his mouth with two fingers, shook his head and said: "Since I have stood in front of you today, it proves that my Tang Kingdom has indeed felt your sincerity, and now as long as the obstacles in the stable are removed, I can guarantee that all the positions you will be supplied to my Tang Kingdom will remain unchanged, and you can also get additional rewards from my Tang Kingdom and go to the next level." ”

Speaking of this, Mr. Zhu's face was even more proud, "Now, Xingzhou City has cut off all contact with the outside world, and the water source has also been cut off by my Tang Kingdom, although there is a strong city, sooner or later it will be broken by the iron cavalry of my Tang Kingdom, maybe in the future, one of the generals can still take on a heavy responsibility and become a county guard, isn't it beautiful?"

"With the rebel general of the Mo family, the city of the Mo family?" Zhang Jiuxin still had a faint smile, but his words revealed mockery, "Tang Guo really has such a big courage, not afraid that we will defect again?"

"Lao Zhang, what are you talking about. Lin Xin's face turned dark, and he hurriedly walked to Zhang Jiuxin's side and pulled him, turned his head and saluted Mr. Zhu: "This ...... General Zhang is cautious by nature and a little worried, Mr. Zhu should not be surprised......"

"Understand, understand, understand. Mr. Zhu immediately showed a pot-bellied appearance, and said with a loud smile: "General Zhang is really thoughtful, but General Zhang's concerns may not exist, originally before the army of my Tang State set out, the lord of the country repeatedly told him that those who wish to surrender will be regarded as brothers and sisters, and will never kill ...... wantonly."

"Originally, the Mo family and the Tang Kingdom inherited the previous dynasty, and it was the great wish of the whole world to work together to pacify the world, what kind of thing is Jing Wu in the south? A half-grown child, but with a little blood of King Ye, he sat on the throne of the lord of the country? After all, it is not the puppet of Zhuge Wanling, the thief who stole the country? Such a poor and lowly person dares to be cheeky to inherit the anointed land of the previous dynasty...... Hehe. ”

Qin Ke shrank his head, his face became not very good, although he had never liked Zhuge Wanling very much, and felt that he was too scheming and disgusting, but hearing others ridiculing him like this, Qin Ke was a little upset.

When the people of Wu suffered because of years of war, did the people in the Tang Kingdom do anything good?

No.

They watched coldly, only hoping that the warriors of Wu would waste their strength by themselves, so that they could finally reap the benefits, and seeing that in the chaos of Wu State, there were gradually righteous people who waved their flags and shouted to win the hearts of the people, and when they finally established Jing Wu, they were annoyed and angry, and felt that the fat on their lips had become someone else's meal, and they were indignant in their hearts.

As a result, the Tang State raised troops to the south, threatening to pacify Jing Wu within three months, kill the national thieves, and "save the people of Wu from fire and water"......

However, Qin Ke, who had lived in Jingwu for a few months, knew very well that the people hated the Tang State from beginning to end, and none of them believed in their high-sounding reasons for conquest.

That's why they're grateful to that person.

That person stabilized the major families, reassembled the fragmented Wu Kingdom, rebuilt the court and restored the system with the scholars, he gave the people a rich Jiangnan without a war, gave the people a full meal, and even supported a reassuring canopy to accommodate people who should have been displaced like Qin Ke's family.

To say that he would never kill rampantly, Qin Ke also secretly sneered in his heart.

He didn't forget the scene of killing prisoners in front of Jinzhou for a moment, but the few generals present were trapped in Pinggu all the time and did not communicate with the outside world, so they naturally believed the nonsense of the Tang envoy.

Qin Ke stood quietly, listening to their words, but his mind was no longer in this tent.

He was silently counting the time, waiting for the moment when he needed to burst out, waiting for it all to begin...... Or the end.

The brazier inside the tent provided full warmth, and smelling the slightly pungent smell of charcoal, Qin Ke's wind vision technique had already sent the movement far away outside the tent to his ears.
