On the streets of Jindi, the spring cold has not stopped, and dots of snow are dotted around. The iron-blooded parties have already confronted each other in a chilling atmosphere. The female prime minister in a dark black dress has a tall figure, approaching Xue Guangcheng, and Xue Guangcheng is aiming at Zou.
Zou Xu, and while standing behind the carriage, Zou Xu's reaction showed no hesitation or cowardice.
More people on the far side of the road were watching this scene, weighing the worth of several groups of people branching out from the southwest, including even the female prime minister who was said to be inextricably related to Mr. Nannan Ning.
The dignity that can be displayed during events.
Betrayal from the Chinese army is the biggest stain on Zou Xu's identity. When he was questioned at this moment, his answer made Zhan Wu frown, Xue Guangcheng was a little stunned, Lou Shuwan also looked back, and the cold spring day passed by.
breeze.
"A few years ago, Mr. Ning ordered Liu Chengzong's troops of the Fifth Army to go north and recruit 50,000 troops in the middle. Due to the lack of supplies and combat power, they could not carry them along the Yellow River. He ordered me to reorganize and train on the south bank of the Yellow River... without supplies, food, grass, and resources.
I ate in the surrounding areas. Later, in Ruzhou, I fell in love with a woman and killed twenty-nine members of her husband's family. Two years ago, in the first month of the first year of Wu Zhenxing, the Funiu Mountain eight-person working group broke up and they wanted to
Kill me, and I will kill someone, and I will leave the Chinese Army from now on!"
"You also know that you did this——"
"But do you know how that woman's husband's family treated her, and how that woman's husband's family oppressed the people around her? Xue Guangcheng, use your brain, use your imagination! Think about that time
In the Central Plains, what can a landlord who can still live a good life do?"
"That's not the point at all!"
"Okay, let's get to the point! Xue Guangcheng, think about it again. The Chinese army of more than 200 people has to unite the old Wu Dynasty army of 50,000 people. There is no money and no food around. How can you do it!? Liu Yu has been there for so many years
After all the hard work, ten houses in the Central Plains were empty, and only a few landlords who could still afford food and clothing were left. I led a group of people to kill them one by one, and turned them into a bunch of uncontrollable bandits. I still had to pay attention to methods.
Come to do business and beg for food!”
Zou Xu's voice behind the carriage was calm and resolute: "I came to ask for rice with me. Some big landowners wanted to turn us into private soldiers. It was me who maintained the face and independence of the Chinese Army! For such a long time,
Do I have to make amends for them! I have to bow to them! They gave me something in private, and I turned around and took the army back, but did the people in the working group listen to my explanation? Xue Guangcheng, this world is not a fairy tale, which one
There is no struggle for interests in the collective. There are always a few people who just think that I can eat more and occupy more! In January of that year, when the working group held a meeting, did they want to talk? They had already set up a killing tactic, throwing cups as a sign, and wanted to
Take me down first, and then ask questions! What can I do if you play this trick with me!?"
"So this is your defense!"
"This is not a defense. Don't think too highly of yourself!" Zou Xu said firmly, "Xue Guangcheng, Zhan Wu, you want to ask me what I did. I will tell you frankly, this is what I did! I, Zou Xu, want to ask my heart.
No shame. But now, I want to tell you something. No matter what the reason is, today, I, Zou Xu, have become enemies with you. In the past, I killed so-called members of the Huaxia Army. Since I have become an enemy, there is no way to recover.
, I will fight for myself! But what about you, Xue Guangcheng, you asked me what I did, and I answered, and I also asked you, what did you do!?"
Xue Guangcheng frowned, slightly confused.
I just heard Zou Xu say over there: "Since everyone knows that I am an enemy, and since they still think that I am a traitor, they want to get rid of me quickly. Xue Guangcheng, as a soldier, what kind of killing plan did you set up today!? From the front
Jump out and shoot me twice. Where are the people behind? Where are the blockades on the left and right? Where are they? Have you planned it? Do you have a plan? The assassination failed. Facing the people surrounding you, you put grenades
Take it out, what are you doing? If they don't dare to kill you, take it out to show off. Are you fighting or are you just fooling around? As someone who has listened to the teacher's lectures in the Chinese army, I feel embarrassed - "
"Weak forehand! Poor backhand! You guys! It's embarrassing——"
Zou Xu's words were firm and stern. When he came to the next few words, almost the entire street was shocked. Some people suddenly seemed to have seen Ning Yi's appearance.
The atmosphere was almost suffocating for a moment. Behind Xue Guangcheng, a Chinese Army soldier was almost provoked and pulled the tab open.
Zou Xu laughed softly over there, speaking every word.
"Let me tell you what you are doing. You just want to express your sense of existence. You use a childish assassination to make my Auntie Lou unable to come to Taiwan to understand your importance more.
Hug you, hug you, coax you... Poor, standing here, you don't look like a soldier, you are like a baby..."
Lou Shuwan turned around: "I don't have such a nephew like you!"
"Auntie Lou, calm down, my nephew will always be on your side... They are fooling you, I can't stand it..."
Xue Guangcheng said: "Go to the battlefield and see who is the soldier!"
Zou Xu's words suddenly changed from soft and humble to sharp: "——Am I afraid?"
"That's enough!" Lou Shuwan shouted, then pointed at Xue Guangcheng and the others: "You committed crimes in Jin, I told you, I will arrest you today! You either have to pull the grenade, or put it away for me
!”
Several people glanced at each other, and Xue Guangcheng also looked at Zhan Wu in the distance. When he saw Zhan Wu nodding, he finally put away the grenade.
Soldiers surrounded him immediately.
Zou Xu turned out from behind the carriage.
In the distance, Zhan Wu, who had been watching, took a few steps forward: "Zou Xu! In Bianliang, your woman is not the only one I fall in love with."
"There are seven teachers."
"Mr. Ning did not enjoy much after taking power, but you have bought yourself a lot of enjoyment after taking power..."
"When the water is clear, there will be no fish. My generals have all purchased various enjoyments. These enjoyments have their own regulations, which are higher than those of the Chinese Army and lower than those of the Wu Dynasty. I strictly prohibit them from corruption and affecting their combat effectiveness, but
I also gave them hope. As for the Chinese Army, they pay attention to integrity and have standards, but in Chengdu today, the teachers are probably very stressed..."
Zhan Wu asked two questions. Zou Xu hardly hesitated at all and answered fluently. At this time, he waved his hand: "A critical general is a feather, and the weight depends on the balance. Of all things in this world, the choice of degree is the most important. In this era
, no one knows what kind of degree is the best. The teacher did not use Lao Niutou’s method and chose his own standards. But outsiders say that Chengdu is strong and easy to break, which is why it comes from this. As for me, I have no use.
Let’s wait and see whether Chengdu’s approach can be passed if it is relaxed a little more.”
He sat on the carriage with half his buttocks, obviously naturally and casually: "Fifth Master, if you want to talk about this, you are welcome to come to my place in the evening. Zou Xu will be honest and tell you everything he knows. But now, it is a pity that we have become
Enemies, since they are already enemies, then the teacher once taught me that a lion has to fight a rabbit with all his strength. If you want to kill me next time, please be more serious..."
Those words were chilling: "——If I see your childish play again, it will disgrace the Chinese army. I will laugh."
At the last moment, just for a brief moment, he showed his serious teeth, and then returned to his calm smile.
Zhan Wu looked at his complicated expression and leaned back slightly. Then he also laughed, cupped his hands and said:
"Been taught a lesson."
The confrontation between the two sides ended. The soldiers under Lou Shuwan's command took Xue Guangcheng and others away. Zhan Wu and others understood Zou Xu's dilemma, retreated to the roadside, and gradually disappeared into the crowd.
After giving a few orders, Lou Shuwan came back: "General Zou answered fluently, he is very heroic."
Zou Xu smiled modestly and helplessly: "Well, my aunt, in a large public, with so many people watching, I have to say something nice to save face. You see, I was almost killed. It was very dangerous. This...
…”
"No way, General Zou is right. It's just a child's play, but you showed up this time, suppressed Xue, and showed off the two of you. Now the outside world knows how powerful you Zou Xu is, and you really made a lot of money this time.
"
"Isn't this what Auntie Lou has been saying that Xue and Zhan are not good people? They always use the power of the Chinese army to bully you. My nephew can't stand it..."
"Don't say nice things." Lou Shuwan looked at him coldly, "What do you mean by using a childish assassination to make me unable to get off the stage? You showed your face and lost my face. Zou Xu, you stepped on me and
Do you know what will happen if the Huaxia Army's face goes up?"
Zou Xu was stunned for a moment: "Auntie, this... this can be explained. What I said, it doesn't exist at all..."
"...I want more money." Lou Shuwan looked at him and spoke word by word.
"Then this..." Zou Xu was stunned. He spread his hands, hesitated for a moment, and spread them again: "This... you..."
"..."
Finally said: "Then let's... discuss it carefully..."
Zou Xu's group had just begun to negotiate various cooperation with Jin. Soon after, his role in this confrontation was revealed, and it became a favorite story among all the spectators. The Chinese army was overwhelmed, and Bianliang
The evaluations of Zou and Dai rose sharply. Of course, it is not something that the outside world can find out about how much the female Prime Minister Lou Shu Wan has increased her discretion in the subsequent negotiations.
In this way, Zou Xu gained fame and the female prime minister benefited. It seemed like a win-win situation. Only the Chinese Army seemed a little embarrassed after this assassination that was actually not well thought out. And after two days of this,
Oh my God, just when Lou Shuwan made the first cut in the negotiation and asked for a price, someone came to report to her:
"Xue, General Xue refuses to go out, and... the Chinese army in Dongcheng is on strike."
"……strike?"
Lou Shuwan found it difficult to accept such trendy vocabulary for a while, but of course it was not a big deal. She then sent someone out to discuss with Zhan Wu, Xue Guangcheng and others.
Negotiations are meaningless and have no results.
Two more days passed, and at noon, Lou Shuwan sighed, and just then called Zhan Wu, and then took the food box with him to the Tiandou in Jindi. After driving away the jailer, Shi Jin was the only one guarding him.
Xue Guangcheng, Zhan Wu laid out the meal and started negotiations.
"On the day of the assassination of Zou Xu, you really didn't think well, and Zou Xu took advantage of it and slapped you in the face. Why do you blame me as a woman? No matter whether your assassination succeeds or fails, I have to arrest you, just to show off. Now it is
You, Xue Guangcheng, failed in the assassination attempt. If you succeeded in the assassination attempt, I would catch you and let you go. If you don’t go out, you’re going to wallow around with a woman like me, Xue Guangcheng!”
"...but we have warned you a long time ago about your dealings with Zou Xu. Mr. Lou, the Huaxia Army also has a good reputation. You have done it before. If you don't give us face, we will definitely do something. We admit that you are not thinking carefully.
We are conducting an internal review, but if you want me to go out, it is not that simple. If you continue to make a big show of things, you and Zou Xu will lose face, the Huaxia Army will not lose their temper, and Dongcheng will definitely not start construction. You have to handle these things well. "
The two sides faced off seriously.
Lou Shuwan looked at the two of them: "Zou Xu told me that he is willing to cooperate with Jin to plot the northwest. If we defeat him, Xiaocang River will belong to him. Zou Xu is not a good person. Don't force me to do this."
, your Chinese army is in disgrace..."
She threw out her trump card. Xue Guangcheng hesitated for a moment, then rolled up his sleeves: "If people lose their land, both people and land will survive. We have reached a conclusion on this matter. Please do it, Mr. Lou. It's best to let Zou Xu handle it."
If the Xiaocang River is built more beautifully, we will have less trouble in the future."
Xue Guangcheng immediately nodded: "Yes! Then let's play with it."
"...Rogue." Lou Shuwan suddenly smiled, and she turned around, "Brother Shi, tell them how I answered Zou Xu."
Shi Jindao: "Xiang Lou rejected Zou Xu immediately."
Lou Shuwan turned around and stood up to pour the wine.
"Brother Xue, Brother Zhan, no matter what, we are our own people." There was a smile on her face and her attitude became sincere. This was an extremely rare and humble attitude. "Zou Xu captured Bianliang, and the Qing Dynasty
I have lost Yin Zong, Chen Shiquan and their family, and now I have eaten Liu Guangshi. Now I am very fat. It is a pity that I will not eat this fat meat. We brothers and sisters have cooperated for so many years and are fighting each other.
Yes, we are always a family to the outside world, right. This time the matter is very complicated, but behind closed doors, we among our own people always have a frank conversation. In this way, the face of the Chinese Army is indeed a matter, and we have to pick it up.
Get up, you guys come up with a solution, as long as it’s not too much, I’ll try my best to agree and cooperate, okay?”
She diligently poured wine and served dishes, but the two people across from her were a little uncomfortable with it. Sorry, Xue Guangcheng pushed her hand: "Mr. Lou, don't be like this..."
Zhan Wu raised his glass respectfully when the other party was pouring wine, looking flattered. Then after a while, he raised his simple and honest face.
"Since... Mr. Lou is so sincere and has rejected Zou Xu regarding Xiao Canghe, then let's do this. Let's not talk about the little things like face."
he said.
"...the share will be increased a little."
"..."
Lou Shuwan put down the chopsticks for picking vegetables, suppressed her smile, and sat back. She looked at Zhan Wu coldly, and Zhan Wu also looked at her with a sincere smile.
Like a pair of good friends, they looked at each other quietly for a long time...
"So in the end, it's still such a tacky thing."
"...That's right...add some money."
"...How much does it cost?"
"...Add 20%, you see..."
"...How come it's 20%..."
"...of course it's 20% of the total number..."
…
"...I'm going to fuck you uncle, you bastards. You can live in Tianlao until you die. Zhan Wu, you can live here too. I'll feed you until you die. I'll let you eat up all the 20,000 yuan."
Shameless bastard——"
"...It can be discussed, it can be discussed, it can be discussed -"
Negotiations have always been complex.
There was a storm in the prison and a war broke out. It was not until a long time later that a few people distributed the benefits in a shameful conversation that could not be detailed to the outside world. Xue Guangcheng and Zhan Wu promised to resume production in Dongcheng. Then,
After eating the food mixed with laxatives brought by the female minister, he walked out of the prison with satisfaction.
These stories of power that can be described in detail but cannot be described in detail were talked about among some high-level officials in Shanxi in February and were passed down by word of mouth. By early February, the wedding of You Hongzhuo and Liang Siyi was approaching, and the rebellion began.
At the family dinner party held, they also heard various discussions originating from this...
