"Duke of Wei doesn't have to be too polite!" Su Changqing hurried forward: "You and I are both dukes, and you are in charge of the Ministry of War. In this way, I, the great marshal, are still your subordinates!"

Shan Xin waved his hand: "I am just a temporary replacement for His Highness Zhao as the Minister of War. When he comes back, he will have to give it up!"

As he said that, Shan Xin pulled Su Changqing into the central army's tent.

The furnishings here are extremely simple, and they don’t look like the place where the commander of the first army is staying, but like a barracks of ordinary soldiers.

When he saw the scene in front of him, Su Changqing was also stunned for a moment.

"It seems that the head coach of Da Shang is so frugal, and every general's account is so simple!"

After sighing, Su Changqing turned around and looked at Shan Xin with a very respectful look.

Along the way, he saw many big tents of Shang generals, all the decorations were the same, a map, a table, a bed, and a few weapons that were handy, and nothing else.

"I have been in Nanchu for so many years. The generals of the Chu army and the generals are all luxurious. The generals not only have luxurious decorations, but also beautiful wines! Such an army is definitely not a match for the Da Shang."

Shan Xin laughed.

"Donald Cai doesn't know anything. We all came from the northern border. We were so poor at that time. Not to mention beautiful girls and wine, even a map was pieced together!"

After making a joke, Shan Xin walked to the map.

"But Duke Cai has been here all the way, so he wouldn't have to check my handsome account specifically, right?"

Su Changqing suddenly felt a little embarrassed, so he hurried to the map and pointed it lightly.

"The situation in the entire Nanchu is extremely complicated now. Qu Gai from the Hudu Fortress, Jing Cui from Yancheng, and Li Yuan from Sanshilipo, these three generals hold most of the troops of Nanchu in their hands, and they are all famous generals in the world! Especially this Qu Gai from the Hudu Fortress, I am afraid that he will trouble the Duke of Wei to drag him down here."

Shan Xin nodded. He knew this better than anyone else. Qu Gai was equal to him in terms of military tactics and battle formations, and he also had decades of war experience as the foundation.

If he really fought face to face, he might not be the opponent of the old general.

The only way is to take the army to confront him here, neither fight with him nor let him go, and clear some obstacles for other Shang troops to enter Nanchu.

"Don't worry, I have mobilized food and grass from various places these days and planned to fight a protracted battle with him. I want to see when this old general can spend time with me."

Su Changqing suddenly turned around and looked solemn.

"Then please come here to Duke Wei! The 50,000 troops I just brought have been incorporated into your army, and I have also brought you enough food and grass. After that, all the merchants will enter the territory of Southern Chu from other directions. As long as they can hold Qu Bei, you will be the first contribution to destroying Chu this time!"

Of course, Shan Xin knew the importance of the hundreds of thousands of troops under his command, and Su Changqing asked so seriously that he felt a little more cautious.

"Don't worry, no matter what happens, I will never mobilize troops without authorization!"

All Su Changqing wanted was this guarantee. After a few more greetings, he took his personal guards to the east.

After Zhao Rui destroyed the Tubo Kingdom, he immediately issued a royal order and summoned a large number of craftsmen to enter Tubo.

This plateau terrain is not suitable for people to survive, and even most residents in Tubo live in relatively low and flat places.
