Outside the military camp.

In the year of Wu, the armored soldiers brought by Long Qie surrounded the military camp. However, the soldiers did not fall in the open, but in the corners or in the shadows.

In the military camp, the soldiers of Lu Jubei and Ma Zheng also had their swords unsheathed, bows strung, and stood on the benches. They stared at the outside world, and the two sides were at war with each other.

"It didn't even break down. This man named Ma Zheng is pretty good at it."

In the shadows, Wu Nian and Long Qie stood holding their knives together, watching the situation in the military camp. Wu Nian smiled faintly, turned to Long Qie and said.

"The general is interested in Ma Zheng's ability and wants to conquer him?" Long Qie's heart moved and he asked with a smile.

Wu Nian claimed to be "General Fu Han" in Beishan Fort, recruiting heroes and thirsty for talents. Now Wu Nian has been awarded seven captains, each captain leading a force of one thousand households.

Although the army's combat effectiveness is not very good, its cohesion is very strong.

There are also Liu Zhixing in charge of civil affairs and Li Yong in charge of logistics.

His orders are strict and his work is organized.

If you want to achieve great things, put people first.

It's not unusual for Long Qie to think so.

"Haha." Wu Nian chuckled, but did not answer Long Qie. Instead, with a casual move, he found a soldier and ordered: "Li Xiong, you lead a team of people and shout in the castle. Tell Chengshan

The military household of the fort is my Wu Nian from Beishan Fort who has invaded the city. Let them not be afraid and just stay at home with peace of mind."

"Yes." Li Xiong responded, and immediately led a group of people to disperse, following Wu Nian's instructions and shouting loudly.

"Although Ma Zheng has led his troops well and has not collapsed. If we attack by force, both sides will suffer heavy losses. But how much food can there be in the military camp? If I trap him for a few days, he will be unable to do anything."

Wu Nian chuckled and cast his eyes towards the military camp again, full of contempt.

A turtle in a urn, a bird in a cage.

"Yes." Long Qie nodded. Then he asked, "How about we go sit in the room next to us. It's too cold to stand here."

"Yes." Wu Nian nodded, and the two were about to leave when they heard someone shouting in the military camp.

"General Wu, don't fire your arrows. I am Mr. Lu's envoy and I have something to say to the general."

Wu Nian's heart moved and he immediately guessed Lu Jubei's intentions.

"Don't worry, come out. My soldiers won't shoot you." Wu Nian waved his hand to Long Qie, raised his head and shouted towards the military camp.

With a creaking sound, the door of the military camp was opened. A man who looked like an accounting clerk walked out. He first looked around timidly, and then cautiously walked forward.

As he walked out, the two doors of the military camp closed with a clang.

"Come here." Wu Nian waved to this man and called loudly.

"Yes." The man responded and trotted forward quickly and came to Wu Nian.

"I am Wu Nian. If Lu Jubei has anything to say, please tell me." Wu Nian said directly without asking the man's name.

"Our husband said that fighting and killing are too harmonious. The general is wise and powerful, but our husband is a civil servant and can manage civil affairs. With the general's military strength and our husband's ability, we can benefit from both."

"Please give me a message from the general. As long as the general agrees, my husband will come out with Mr. Ma."

The man looked at Wu Nian carefully and whispered.

Long Qie also heard the smell and raised his eyebrows. Under such circumstances, this person named Lu Jubei still wanted to negotiate terms?

Not only do you want to ensure your own safety, but you also want to seek an official position in the shogunate of General Fu Han?

However, Long Qie also admitted that Lu Jubei had capital. He had soldiers, and he was still a civil servant.

While Long Qie was thinking randomly in his mind, he raised his head and looked at Wu Nian.

"He is not qualified to negotiate terms with me. You go back and tell him that there is only one chance. Let him and Ma Zheng come out to see me. Otherwise, I will trap him to death." Wu Nian said lightly, with no emotion or anger in his voice.

The man's body trembled, and he did not dare to say a word. He clasped his fists at Wu Nian, turned around, and returned to the military camp.

Baihusuo Yamen, inside the hall.

Lu Jubei and Ma Zheng were both restless after hearing the report.

"Although it is empty talk, if we can get Wu Nian's verbal guarantee, we will feel very safe. But now Wu Nian doesn't even give us a verbal guarantee and just lets us go out like this. I'm really a little flustered."

Lu Jubei shook his right leg anxiously and said in a deep voice.

This was beyond his expectation. He had already written the script. We defected to you, you accepted us, and everyone was happy.

Wu Nian doesn't play by common sense.

"I heard that Wu Nian is very loyal and never goes back on his words. I feel very nervous that he won't agree to us." Ma Zheng looked livid and nodded.

The two of them discussed it for a long time, but they couldn't come up with a solution. Now we are the ones who work for the knife and I work for the fish and meat.

Wu Nian had given an ultimatum. If he didn't get out, he would definitely die. If he got out, he might still be alive.

Only then did Lu Jubei regret it.

It is right to hope that Wu Nian will die in Guangyang Mansion and then take Beishan Fort as his foundation. But when Wu Nian comes back, he should not covet Chengshan Fort.

Cao Ding had said before that as long as he could welcome Long Qie in, he would be treated well.

I was blinded by lard, thinking that I could rely on the mere Chengshan Fort to block Wu Nian. But in one night, everything turned upside down.

If you don't eat a good toast, you will be punished with a fine drink.

I was really blinded by the lard.

Lu Jubei took a deep breath and decided to go out. He could only pray now, Wu Nian was still worried about his status as a scholar.

After all, he did not surrender to the Meng Yuan people and kept the [big festival] intact. Although Wu Nian claimed to be a general supporting the Han Dynasty, he still served the Chu State.

He probably wouldn't kill himself as a judge.

"Master Ma, let's go out together." Thinking of this, Lu Jubei became more energetic, raised his head and said to Ma Zheng.

"Hey." Ma Zheng had no idea and could only sigh and nodded dullly. The two of them tidied up their appearance a little, then walked out of Baihusuo Yamen together, arrived at the entrance of the military camp, and asked the soldiers to open the camp door.

Went out.

"Are you Lu Jubei? Are you Ma Zheng?" Wu Nian had a half-smile on his face, glanced at the two of them, and said.

The two men have completely different body types and temperaments, which is easy to judge.

Lu Jubei and Ma Zheng felt the malice coming from Wu Nian and shuddered, but had to force a smile.

"Reporting to General. I am Lu Jubei, and this is Mr. Ma, Mr. Ma." Lu Jubei nodded with a forced smile, and then introduced Ma Zheng.

"Pfft." With a sonorous sound, Wu Nian pulled out the steel knife from his waist, turned the blade to the left, swept across the army, and cut off Lu Jubei's neck.

Lu Jubei's head shot up into the sky and then fell to the ground. There was still a look of shock and disbelief on his face.

I am a Juren!!! Wu Nian really killed me!

"For your own sake, I will spare your family." Wu Nian sheathed his sword and said calmly.

When the incident broke out, Wu Nian sentenced Lu Jubei to death.

Yes, he needs the help of talents. If he is a serious and capable person, he will welcome him.

But he has no interest in serving an ambitious man who wants to fight for power.

The temple of General Fu Han was too small to tolerate any internal disputes. Everyone was in one group and worked together to fight against the Meng Yuan people.

The strength must be concentrated in one place, and the strength must not be scattered.
