Chapter 965: The Magnificent Power of Han (Eighty-Nine)

After the unwelcome guests left, those who stayed would naturally receive warm hospitality. A banquet was held in the Gaotang left-behind residence. There were no delicacies, but large fish and meat were served in basins after basins. The Red Scarf Army ate happily. , which was a bitter experience for Song Boxuan, a noble family member for generations. In particular, Bai Yucheng, in order to show his enthusiasm and goodwill towards him, would always use his chopsticks to pick up large pieces of dishes and put them on Song Boxuan's plate, watching Bai Yucheng sometimes With the pair of chopsticks flying in his mouth, sometimes picking up dishes for himself, the smile on Song Boxuan's face was uglier than crying. Under the expectant eyes of the other party, he could only endure the churning stomach and swallowed the dishes. Enter the stomach.

Looking at Song Boxuan's appearance, Bai Yucheng's face showed an inexplicable joy.

This meal was the longest and most difficult time for Song Boxuan. Finally, when Bai Yucheng put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, clapped his hands gently, and shouted, "It's almost over, let's all go." He felt as if he had been granted an amnesty.

All the generals in the room were gone in an instant. Bai Yucheng stood up with a smile, "Have you eaten, Mr. Song?"

"Eat, eat, eat!" Song Boxuan said quickly.

"Now that you've eaten, why don't you come with me for a walk and take a look?" Bai Yu Cheng said as if asking, but his tone was unquestionable.

"Okay, of course I have to take a look." Song Boxuan said: "Speaking of this Gaotang City, I am much more familiar with it than Mr. Bai Hou. There are some quite elegant scenery in it. It is better for Song to Go on a tour as a guide?”

Bai Yucheng laughed, "I am a warrior, so I don't care if I don't want to see this scenery. I just want to take Mr. Song to see my army."

"Go see the army?" Song Boxuan was surprised. It was not that he didn't have this idea, but he was afraid that he would make the other party unhappy by bringing it up, so he was quite surprised when he saw that the other party proposed it on his own initiative.

"Of course, since I accepted your recruitment, I have to show you my assets, lest you feel that you have lost money!" Bai Yucheng smiled.

"Where, where!"

"Since we want to cooperate with each other, of course we have to have a general understanding of each other's strengths, right? I know you very well, but you don't necessarily know me!"

Song Boxuan looked at Bai Yucheng, who was smiling slightly, and always felt that there was some story here, but he couldn't think of it." In this case, Song wanted to see if the general's tiger sword could defeat Zhu Wei and Chen Tao. I'm afraid there aren't many armies in this world that can be defeated."

"Really? Mr. Song really praised me, they really don't mean anything." Bai Yucheng chuckled, and couldn't help but think of those dense armies of the Han Dynasty. "Speaking of Zhu Wei and Chen Tao, now they are He is in our army."

"What? Are they really captured by you?" Song Boxuan asked in surprise. These two people are both generals of Tian Fucheng's family. If they were really captured alive, the blow to Tian Fucheng would be really big, and they would be alive. It's better than death.

"Yes, both of them were captured alive by me. They were both injured before, but during this period, I managed to heal them almost. This time, since I accepted the imperial court's offer, these two people were sent to serve as masters of Song Dynasty. As a meeting gift, I believe Mr. Tian can make a lot of articles about them!" Bai Yucheng said.

While they were talking, the two of them had already walked out of the gate of Liushou Mansion, and the guards behind them followed them unhurriedly. At this time, Bai Yucheng still had the arrogant and uncultured look before, and his whole person was almost different from before. Song Boxuan He took a breath and asked tentatively: "Could it be that Mr. Bai had already intended to be recruited?"

"Learn literature and martial arts and sell them to the emperor's family!" Bai Yucheng turned to look at Song Boxuan, "Although Bai is not talented, he also knows that bandits like us are destined not to become a big success. There are only two endings. One is One is to be annihilated, and the other is to be recruited. Instead of being annihilated, it is better to be recruited. Of course, before that, we must let you see our value, right?"

"Then why did you choose us instead of the second young master?" Song Boxuan asked. Thinking of all the previous events, he suddenly understood that the other party had already made up his mind.

"I still have some insight into this." Bai Yucheng laughed: "Tian Fucheng is indeed stronger than Tian Yuanyuan in the military, but he is far inferior in politics. However, this person has moral deficiencies and few people support him in Qi State. Now it's just relying on the strength of the troops in hand. If a person dares to be angry but dare not speak out, as long as he suffers a military disadvantage, he will be defeated faster than anyone else. Mr. Tian is much smarter and knows how to keep the King of Qi firmly The land is in his hands. Although the King of Qi is just a puppet in the hands of Master Tian, ​​with this flag, it will be much easier to do things! Tian Fucheng seems to be glamorous at the moment, but in fact, crises are already lurking everywhere. In the military It is difficult to conquer Pinglu and Linzi as soon as possible. He has lost the support of the people politically and is facing collapse economically. And behind him, Meng Chong's troops of the Han Army's Southern Group Army are eyeing him and may pounce at any time. How can I go to him? The backstage is about to collapse. If you want to hug your thighs, you should naturally choose a thicker one to hug!"

Song Boxuan stopped and looked in shock at the bandit leader in his previous image who only had force but no brains. What he just said completely overturned his previous image of Bai Yucheng. After a long while, he murmured: : "It turns out that Mr. Bai's previous arrogance was just an act?"

"Crazy?" Bai Yucheng laughed, "You are really good at flattering people. How could I be the envoy to Mr. Tian Er?"

"Why is this?"

"Why?" Bai Yucheng said with a smile: "I think Master Li will definitely tell Mr. Tian everything about this place exactly when he returns. What do you think Mr. Tian will do?"

"Of course he was furious. Tian Fucheng's temper was extremely violent and he was mean and ungrateful." Song Boxuan said.

"Wrong answer!" Bai Yucheng shook his head.

Song Boxuan was startled, looking at the other party's half-smiling face, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, "So you want Tian Fucheng to despise you and not regard you as a real opponent but just as a bandit." beat?"

Bai Yucheng nodded and said, "Please, Mr. Song, let's go outside the city to see my new recruits." The two of them walked in the car and headed out.

"To be honest, I can only fight four to five thousand soldiers now. After these few battles, I have suffered a lot of damage. Now there are less than three thousand soldiers who can go to the battlefield to fight a fierce battle. If Mr. Tian Er goes all out to attack, I will It's dangerous." He raised his palms, interrupting Song Boxuan's words, "Master Song will definitely say that with Tian Jingwen's restraint, they will not dare to start the war casually, right? That would be wrong again, I'm afraid that time will come. Not only would Tian Jingwen not come to the rescue, but he would sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. First, I would let Mr. Tian and I fight to the death, while he was preparing to pick peaches on the side and take advantage. In fact, your court wanted to recruit me. I am using it to fight Tian Fucheng to buy you time. In fact, in your hearts, I am just a bandit who cannot be promoted. A Gaotang Marquis bought my life branch. This is a good deal after all. ah!"

Song Boxuan was a little embarrassed: "Is that so?"

"That's it!" Bai Yucheng said seriously: "So I want to bring Mr. Song to see my soldiers. After you understand my strength, you should stop having such thoughts. If you want to cooperate, you must cooperate with each other." Trust and sincere cooperation. If you think about selling your allies, then you will definitely suffer in the end. If I lose, I can retreat to the sea and become a bandit again. If you lose, it will be your life, property, and descendants. After playing, as you said, Tian Fucheng is not a generous person."

Song Boxuan broke into a cold sweat. The bandit leader in front of him was simply a scheming politician, and he had already clearly seen Linzi's intentions.

Bai Yucheng laughed and said, "The envoy Li said this after he returned. Tian Fucheng despises me. Even if he sends troops to suppress him again, he will not use all his strength. That's good. He and I will make an indissoluble bond first. Slowly waiting for my recruits to grow up, in as little as three months, as long as half a year, I will be able to train a tiger and wolf army. At that time, it will be my chance to show my strength. You and I will work together to get It's no big deal to go to Tian Fucheng. After defeating Tian Fucheng, we can turn to Judu, defeat the Chu people, and return Daqi to a complete territory. So please tell Lord Song to tell the eldest son after you go back that it is better not to do some things. .”

When Song Boxuan heard this, he was horrified. He clasped his fists and bowed deeply to Bai Yucheng, "You have lost something on the way. Mr. Bai is such a talented man. Song was rude earlier. After returning, he will definitely give advice to the eldest son. I am now the great Qi The stars of the generals are withered, General Zou is old, General Tian Jingwen is a rising star, but he can't stand alone. Not to mention Wang Pei and Cheng Siwei in Tian Fucheng's army, there are also other mature generals. This is the biggest worry of our government. , there are soldiers but no generals. Now that the eldest son has Bai Houye, his generals will be as powerful as a tiger."

"It's easy to talk, to cooperate sincerely, and to work together to achieve great things. What Mr. Tian wants is that seat. As for me, firstly, I want to have a wife and a son who will be the father-in-law for generations. Secondly, I also want to leave a name in history. Each has his own It’s just what you get.” Bai Yucheng smiled.

"That's natural." Song Boxuan nodded repeatedly, feeling extremely happy in his heart. It's no wonder that this man, as a pirate, was able to take advantage of the civil strife in the country in a short period of time. He was indeed a great man of his generation. The eldest son got this man's help. , will definitely be able to unify Qi.

"Previously, Marquis Bai said that Zhu Wei, Chen Tao and I would be sent as gifts. I wonder if we can add one more?" Song Boxuan asked.

"No!" Bai Yucheng flatly refused.

"Master Hou knows who I want?" Song Boxuan asked.

"It's just Wang Yan!"

"Exactly, this man is shameless. He first took refuge with Tian Fucheng, and then turned to the marquis. What's the use of such a duplicitous person? He spared no effort in working for Tian Fucheng in Gaotang. The eldest son hated him and wanted to If you want to kill him quickly, why don't Mr. Bai give him a favor?" Song Boxuan said.

Bai Yucheng shook his head, "Mr. Song, that's why I want to keep this person. Regardless of his moral character, he still has political talent. And now, I need such a person to coordinate the overall situation and fight the war." I am good at managing people's livelihood, but I am just a layman. And this Wang Yan is now not tolerated by the eldest son, but has also betrayed the second son. Although Qi is a big country, there is no place for him. Apart from me, he can Where to go? So when he does something, he must do his best. If I think of it, he will do it. If I think of it, he will definitely come to remind me, because his wealth and life are tied to me! The water is clear. Then there will be no fish, and when people observe it, there will be no disciples. I am just using my talents."

Song Boxuan sighed and shook his head silently. (To be continued)
