Chapter Ninety-Eight: Lobbying

Although the battle outside the fat city was very treacherous, but fortunately several arrows and feathers did not hurt Zhang Wu's vital point, Zhang Wu fainted as soon as he entered the city, mainly because of excessive blood loss, caused by serious physical overdraft, not long after cultivation and conditioning, he became a dragon spirit and tiger fiercely.

On this day, Zhang Wu pulled Taishan to the front of his seven hundred cavalry, pointed to the cavalry and said to Taishan: "Big brother, look, these elite cavalry will be our subordinates in the future." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

After speaking, Zhang Wu turned his head and shouted at the cavalry under him: "Don't you want to see the lord yet?!"

Seven hundred cavalrymen turned over and dismounted, stood on the left side of their horses, and at the same time took off their helmets and gave a standard military salute to Mount Tai: "Meet the general." ”

Taishan had also witnessed the elite of this cavalry on the city wall before, and when he heard Zhang Wu say that this cavalry would be his own in the future, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and waited for these people to pay homage. However, these elite cavalrymen, who did not know where Zhang Wu got them, although they were very respectful to themselves, they all called themselves generals in unison! They were generals! Not lords! This made Taishan's original joy come to naught in an instant.

After all, Taishan is Taishan, although he is not happy in his heart, but he knows that the most important thing in fighting the world is soldiers, horses, money and food, with the elite level of the cavalry in front of him, Taishan will definitely not abandon it. With a warm smile, Taishan said calmly as if he hadn't heard what these people called him just now: "You are all good, and I will never treat you badly." ”

Zhang Wu was a rough man, he didn't notice the name of Taishan by his subordinate cavalry, and even if he did, he couldn't understand Taishan's feelings. Seeing Taishan praising his subordinate cavalry, Zhang Wu happily opened his mouth and smiled: "Big brother, these brothers were given to me by Brother Yuanqi. ”

At this moment, Taishan's face instantly became gloomy, Guan Wei had praised Gan Jing's naval army before, and now Zhang Wu actually directly brought back a team of cavalry trained by Yuan Qi! His two brothers were full of praise for Yuan Qi's elite soldiers, where did this make Taishan, the big brother's face, go? Although Taishan knew very well that the two brothers would never dislike their incompetence as a big brother, but looking at Zhang Wu's attention to the seven hundred cavalry behind him, Taishan's heart really didn't feel good. Taishan also likes elite soldiers, and also wants Guan Wei and Zhang Wu to lead a male army respectively, but that must be given to them by Taishan, it should not be anyone but Taishan, let alone Yuan Qi!

Zhang Wu's thick nerves didn't notice the changes in Taishan, and he was still talking about how the seven hundred cavalry under his subordinates fought bravely in this battle. Guan Wei's mind was more delicate, and he quickly discovered Taishan's abnormality, and he also understood why Taishan's face had become so gloomy. However, this matter is a matter of facts, and the people of the Yuan Hussars have come to their aid, and his brother has absolutely no reason to anger others, otherwise, he will lose his faith and righteousness, and how will he mix up in the future? The matter of repaying virtue with resentment is not something that Guan Wei can do. But Guan Wei didn't know how to persuade Taishan, so he had to bow his head silently.

Brother Taishan, this elite cavalry is available!" Gongsun Izumo said as he walked.

Taishan put away the discoloration on his face, returned to his honest and loyal appearance, turned to Gongsun Iruyun and smiled: "Where did Brother Iruyun say, where are there still cavalrymen who dare to be the elite in front of Brother Iruyun's white horse?"

Gongsun Ruyun laughed and said: "Taishan doesn't have to be too humble, I saw it in the city before." The elite soldiers brought back by Zhang Wu are indeed extraordinary. ”

Zhang Wu interjected: "These brothers were all given to me by Brother Yuanqi. ”

"Oh?" Gongsun Ruyun glanced at the seven hundred cavalry with interest, and then looked at Zhang Wu's excited black face, and then said with admiration: "It turned out to be Brother Yuanqi, no wonder this cavalry is so elite, in this way, I will give you another three hundred cavalry, making up the number of one thousand, so that Brother Taishan will also have his own military horses." ”

For Gongsun Ruyun's gift, Taishan did not feel as resistant as Yuan Qi, and hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you, Brother Ruyun." ”

This was a happy result, Zhang Wu had his own subordinates, Taishan's strength was strengthened, and Gongsun Ruyun secretly helped Yuan Qi to soothe Taishan's resistance. If there is anything unsatisfactory, it is that in Taishan's heart, if there is a complicated feeling towards Zhang Wu, is it suspicion? Is it estrangement? Taishan himself can't say clearly.

Liaodong, in the city of Xiangping.

Gongsun Du sat in the position of the Taishou and looked at the messenger in front of him casually: "So, the hussar general sent you to be a lobbyist? Uh, I'm sorry, Ben will have a bad memory, what is Mr. Gao's surname?"

Xu Shu said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Xu Shu, who was born late, can't afford to be called Mr. Gongsun Taishou." I came here later, and I didn't come to be a lobbyist, my lord champion Hou, martial arts and bravery, no one in the world can stop him, how can he send someone to lobby you?"

Gongsun Du stood up suddenly, stretched out his hand and slapped it heavily on the table, shouting: "Presumptuous! How dare you make a big statement in front of the general! Are you here to demonstrate?"

More than a dozen guards on both sides of the battle line pulled out their swords and looked at Xu Shu angrily, as long as Gongsun Du gave an order, they would not hesitate to rush forward and cut off Xu Shu's head.

Xu Shu's face did not change, he smiled slightly, and said loudly: "Everyone, the matter between a certain and your family has not been discussed, I advise you to be calm for the time being, otherwise, it will not be good for everyone..."

And Wei Yan, who was standing behind Xu Shu at this moment, had already dropped his hand to the hilt of the knife on his waist, the look on his face was not angry and arrogant, and he glanced at Gongsun Du's guards with the corner of his eye, and snorted coldly.

Gongsun is a prince, and his knowledge is naturally extraordinary. He saw that Wei Yan behind Xu Shu was extraordinary, and asked in a low voice, "Haven't you consulted the general's name yet?"

Wei Yan glanced at Gongsun Du, and replied loudly: "A certain is Nanyang Wei Yan!"

"Wei Yan!" Gongsun Du was really taken aback in his heart, the shadow of the so-called famous tree, Wei Yan's single-handedly killing of King Meng had already spread in Youzhou. Gongsun Du looked at the guards standing on both sides, how much weight these guards had, he knew that if he didn't agree, Wei Yan would hurt people, and these guards under his command would not be able to stop him, and he might be worried about his life.

Thinking of this, Gongsun Du's face softened, and he was replaced by a smiling face: "It turned out to be General Wei, the general was sluggish, come on, come on, sit down." ”

Xu Shu pulled Wei Yan to sit under Gongsun Du's hand, took a sip of tea slowly, and then said: "My lord asked a certain person to speak, Zhang Ju supported the army to stand on his own, and the sin is unforgivable." For the sake of the people of the world, my lord wants to raise an army to conscript. If Gongsun Taishou can send troops to help, after the war, my lord would like to show Taishou as the Marquis of Liaoyang, and make it clear that every degree of Taishou's dispatch of troops will be paid by the Hussar General's Mansion. ”

Gongsun Du pondered for a while, and said thoughtfully: "It's not that the general doesn't want to send troops to quell the chaos, it's just that the general is seriously ill now and can't travel far. ”

Xu Shu secretly scolded Gongsun Du in his heart, what is seriously ill, it is obvious that he supports the army and respects himself. "It turns out that Taishou has a minor illness, so it's really not suitable for battle. By the way, my lord has one more sentence for a certain take. Speaking of this, Xu Shu suddenly stopped talking, but picked up the teacup in front of him and tasted the tea leisurely.

Just when Gongsun Du was curious about what he was saying, Wei Yan stood up, stared at Gongsun Du with a pair of murderous eyes, and said in a cold voice word by word: "Those who collaborate with the enemy will be punished!" Of course, this sentence was not said by Yuan Qi, even if Yuan Qi once said it, it was definitely not said to Gongsun Du. This sentence was discussed between Xu Shu and Wei Yan on the way here, one of the two sang with a red face and the other with a white face, and with the prestige of Yuan Qi, they forced Gongsun Du to comply.

Looking at the eyes scattered from Wei Yan's eyes, like a vicious wolf staring at its prey, Gongsun Du's heart couldn't help but tremble. It was not until this moment that Gongsun Du came to his senses that the two envoys he faced were not ordinary envoys, but were sent by Yuan Qi, a hussar general and champion of the northern frontier, known as the little overlord. Once Yuan Qi pacified Zhang Ju and turned back to clean himself up, what could he do to resist? For a long time, Gongsun Du did not take the imperial court seriously and did not abide by the decrees of the imperial court for a reason, because he could retreat to Sanhan at any time and be a free-spirited emperor in Sanhan. Samhan is a small country thousands of miles away in the northeast, and it is not even a country, but just a large tribe, which is today's North and South Korean Peninsula. There are many islands and surrounded by the sea on three sides, which is suitable for Gongsun Du to give full play to the expertise of the naval army under his command. However, when Gongsun Du realized that the potential opponent he faced might be Won Ki, he wavered, not sure that he would be able to escape to the Samhan Peninsula under Won Ki.

However, if he bowed his head to Yuan Qi like this, Gongsun Du was really unwilling. For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire hall was extremely depressing.

After a long time, Gongsun Du said in a deep voice: "In this way, please return to the pavilion for the time being to wait for the news, and I will ask the medical officer to see if I can join the hussar general to fight against the rebellion." ”

Xu Shu readily agreed, and then pulled Wei Yan out of Liaodong Taishou Mansion.

When Xu Shu left, Gongsun Du sneered, and wanted to use the false name of a Liaoyang Marquis to let himself send troops? How could there be such a beautiful thing! Gongsun Du had already made up his mind to tie Xu Shu and Wei Yan in Liaodong, neither killing them nor letting them go. killed them, offended the little overlord Yuanqi, let them go, and offended Zhang Ju, both sides were strong soldiers and horses, and no one wanted to offend Gongsun Du.

After walking out of the Taishou Mansion, Wei Yan quietly said to Xu Shu: "Yuan Zhi, you are a true god. All of Gongsun Du's reactions are in your calculations, hehe, now we can at least hold him back and prevent him from sending troops to help the traitor. ”

Xu Shu glanced back at the Liaodong Taishou Mansion, and said softly: "It won't be long before this Liaodong Taishou Mansion is about to change its owner, maybe, the new master is you Wei Wenchang." ”
