1422 Begging for Life is Difficult
The scale of the city was not very large. A few months ago, there was a war that destroyed more than half of the city. Even if some of the buildings were restored later, they were converted into warehousing. When the general Yizhi arrived here, he could only stay in the wild temporarily.
When Qu Zhou and his group arrived at Lieren City, Tian Ju couldn't help but be shocked when he learned that the famous General Shen was living in the small-scale camp in the Pingye outside the city.
Although he did not hold any duty in Jie Kingdom, he once replaced his adoptive father Tian Fu to meet Jie Lord Shi Hu. He saw how the Jie Lord's camp was so large that he often had tens of thousands of people, and the ceremonial guards were even more than a few miles long. Judging from the scale of the rituals, this General Shen from the South was so shabby that he couldn't help but have a crazy idea in his heart: if there was still a traitor in Jie Army wandering around in this state, he accidentally found this place...
This idea was too horrible, and Tian Ju didn't dare to think deeply. But when he entered the camp, he realized that this idea was also a bit naive and ridiculous.
Although the camp is not large in size, even the outer camp gates are buried deep in the ground, thicker than the arm, and the horses are tightly knotted, like ferocious beasts. The layout of this outer layer is even more difficult to break than many tall and broad cities.
Although there were not many soldiers in the camp, they were all burly and strong, and a bloody aura was scattered out with every move.
Especially those soldiers assembled sticks that were so luxurious that they were dazzling. Two stone bows were just standard. The tall and majestic Hexi Dragon Horse walked in the camp, especially the Bens who stood outside the tent in the center. They looked like sculptures cast in steel, looking as silent as a mountain, which was intimidating.
There was a nearly substantial pressure in the camp. The more you experienced the battles, the deeper the feeling of the general. No matter where you stand, there seemed to be many eyes staring at them. A slight abnormal movement would inevitably lead to the end of blood splattering on the spot, so that Tian Ju did not even dare to relax his breathing, and walked slowly, fearing that excessive movements would trigger the solemn murderous aura, and it would become a landslide in a moment.
It is natural to think about it. General Shen, who has not met yet, is definitely the most powerful person today, including Jiezhu Shihu, who is the most powerful. He is far inferior to him. How could he go into danger without guarding?
After entering the camp, Tian Ju and his escort were placed in a side tent waiting. Tian Ju glanced helplessly at Jin Xuangong who was led away by the soldiers, and then sat in the tent honestly, sipping the tea drinks sent by the soldiers in small mouthfuls. However, the gaze around him, which was nowhere to be seen and he was sweating profusely before he knew it.
As soon as he entered the camp, he was summoned by the general. Jin Xuangong was also somewhat flattered. Now he is one of the students of the general. After entering the tent, he went on a journey and worshiped: "Jin Xuangong, please see the general..."
"Don't need to be too polite, take a seat first and talk about the details of this practice."
Shen Zhezi was not busy with official business at this moment, so he raised his hand to signal Jin Xuangong to sit close by, and there was some appreciation in his eyes. Although he cherished Jin Xuangong's talent, he did not expect that he would have the opportunity to make a name for himself before he joined the army, so he was more relieved.
Hearing this, Jin Xuangong felt a little ashamed. He thought that attacking Shangbai from afar should be considered a masterpiece, but the various developments in the war later made him understand that the master Hurun was well arranged, and once he counterattacked, he had the power of thunder. His move to conquer Shangbai was not as meaningful as the original idea.
However, since the general asked, he briefly told the story and said truthfully: "If you conquer Shangbai, you may have a lone courage to show, but you are really unable to praise the great achievements. Fortunately, the general is generous and has never held the responsibility of his subordinates for his unscrupulous actions..."
"Hu Houze is the governor of the front line. If he can't even accept the abnormal movements of his subordinates, it would be his dereliction of duty. As for you, it is not a big deal, and it is very rare to be able to make a living and advance against the current."
As a low-level chief of the main soldiers of the squad, Jin Xuangong can be free from being restricted by difficulties, and can actively break the situation without breaking the plan of Shangguan. This is the embodiment of his ability. Different positions and standards are naturally different. At least the performance of this first formation did not disappoint the general's expectations for him.
Of course, even though this is the case, in the entire royal army system, there are not many thousands of soldiers of the level of Jin Xuangong, and many of them have excellent performances in the regional battlefield, but not many of them can truly receive praise from the general.
So even though it was just a verbal praise, Jin Xuangong was very grateful and hurriedly thanked him.
"Tell me about Guangzong's begging for life."
Shen Zhezi didn't have much greeting to motivate him, so he turned around and talked about the important things.
Jin Xuangong quickly corrected his attitude and told him in detail about all the contacts with Guangzong Qihuo. The Qihuo Army expressed his willingness to surrender. Although Jin Xuangong was there, he actually did not dare to make a contribution, because the Qihuo Army had plans in this regard.
Shortly after he captured Shangbai, Guangzong responded. Hundreds of raids arrived outside Shangbai City and walked around the city to investigate the details. At that time, Shangbai City was not as strong as a defender. Jin Xuangong gritted his teeth and called out to the city gate. If the beggars were unwilling to negotiate, he had no choice.
Fortunately, the development of the situation was in a good direction, and then the city lord of Guangzong Tian Fu came to visit him and asked Jin Xuangong to enter his camp to discuss in detail. Jin Xuangong could be considered a risk of his life and was a barely consensus.
After the development of the situation, there are detailed records in Hurunxin Newspaper. Jin Xuangong stayed in the Qihuo Army for the time being, but he didn't know much about it.
After asking a few more details, Shen Zhezi also had a certain understanding of Guangzong's begging for work, so he stopped talking about this and said to Jin Xuangong: "You don't have to go in Hu Houze's army. You can stay in Shengwu's army for a temporary appointment as a soldier lieutenant, and then follow the army to Shahe to listen to it."
Finally, he had made meritorious achievements. Not only did he fail to accumulate merits, he was demoted to the military position by one level. However, Jin Xuangong was not disappointed, but was extremely surprised and thanked him repeatedly. Originally, he was in the fourth army of Taiwan, plus the Guanzhong Zhenwu Army, these strong troops were already one level higher than other main troops, and the Shengwu Army was even more powerful in the strong army. If a soldier lieutenant in the Shengwu Army was sent out, it would not be surprising to be the head of the regular main force.
Jin Xuangong was even more happy because the right-wing war came to an end. With the arrival of winter, there would be no major battle plan. The war between Xie Ai's troops in the direction of Shahe River attacking Xiangguo must be put on the agenda later. The general put him in this place. This meaning of valuing cultivation really surprised him.
When Jin Xuangong was so grateful that he went out, Shen Zhezi summoned Tian Ju from Guangzong again. Regarding the issue of Guangzong's begging for life, he had already had a idea in his mind. For specific arrangements, of course, it would be better to see what the attitude of the people from Guangzong were.
Tian Ju walked into the camp with treacherous treacherously, then lowered his head and bowed his head to pay a visit. He didn't even dare to look at the powerful minister of the southern country. He waited until the sound of clear and unwilling gifts came from above that he stood up carefully and looked up with the momentum. His face first showed a clear look of surprise, and then he seemed to be shocked and felt that he was rude and hurriedly lowered his head.
Seeing this scene, Shen Zhezi couldn't help but smile. He didn't know what kind of image he should have imagined in the imagination of these Hebei people, but recently many people who have summoned Hebei people, similar reactions are not uncommon. It is obvious that his image is somewhat different from those of these Hebei people.
It is not his fault that he is too handsome, and he will not be inferior because of this, and there is no need to cover his face with iron armor in order to maintain his majesty and evil spirit.
"I heard the name of begging for life at the beginning of the old year and I couldn't bear to cry. Yan and Zhao are so powerful. It is the backbone of my summers. What kind of harm is the world that makes the people keep such a small ambition? I wonder if I can tell me a little about the reason inside?"
Tian Ju was still amazed at the stunning figure of General Shen. After hearing this question, he couldn't help but be slightly surprised and couldn't react for a moment. He naturally thought about what General Shen would ask, but this question was beyond his expectations.
Why did the beggars come? To be honest, even Tian Ju is already a senior figure in Guangzong, and he doesn't know much about this. A group of suffering people struggling on the brink of death is still difficult to make a living, so there is no tradition of believing in history. Moreover, in the past few years, the continuation of the beggars' power has been very tortuous and difficult. If it were not for the perseverance of the internal group, it would inevitably be defeated by the torrent of the general trend.
But since General Shen asked such a question, he had to answer it. So Tian Ju could only bite the bullet and briefly talked about the development process of the Qihuo Army after he knew it. The words inevitably involved all kinds of tyranny in Jie Kingdom. In short, it is always good to describe Guangzong's life experience even more miserable, not to mention that Guangzong's situation of Qihuo was not improved.
Shen Zhezi listened carefully and occasionally asked some details. Based on some knowledge from later generations, he also had a certain understanding of the Qihuo Army, but the Qihuo Army was not the mainstream force in this world. The records of just a few words and words will inevitably become unrecognizable after being spread for thousands of years.
Although he has been in this world for a long time, he doesn't know much about the Qihuo Army. Therefore, Shen Zhezi was willing to receive the envoys of Guangzong because of curiosity.
Shen Zhezi's emotions were very complicated when it came to the Qihuo Army. In addition to sympathy, there was also a kind of intolerance of the superiors. Hurun had reported on Guangzong's Qihuo appeal. Under the overall situation of the King's army regaining Hebei, he actually wanted to seek an existence independent of the king's law. In addition to being naive, he was really pitiful.
However, Shen Zhezi also understood that the pursuit of independence of the Beggar Army is completely different from the pursuit of rural power in Hebei Shiliu. They are a group of real pitiful people at the bottom. Although they have their own armed forces, they are far from having political propositions and lack long-term planning.
If you want to make an analogy, Liu Laozhi, a prefecture in Jiangbeidong Prefecture, was similar to the Qihuo Army in later generations. He had strong military power, but he had no political demands or could not realize his demands. As a result, he could only become the minions and butchers of those in power.
But the Qihuo Army was even more miserable than the Beifu Army. At least there was a hero like Liu Yu who took advantage of the opportunity of Jiangdong clans fighting for power and profit, and jumped up on the political stage and became the protagonist.
From its initial establishment to its final demise, the Qihuo Army never got such an opportunity. Perhaps the later generations of Jie Kingdom collapsed, and the cooperation between Li Nong and Ran Min was the most likely, but with Li Nong being executed, the Qihuo Army, as a force, never had such an opportunity again.
