Fu Chonggao was on the tiger-skinned seat, and while opening the letter in his hand, he looked at the messenger who came to deliver the letter. The messenger was about 20 years old, of medium figure, flexible and agile movements, slightly dark complexion, and looked like a sergeant, not a scholar.

Fu Chong was a little anxious. He hoped that He Qi could send a scholar. Since it was a negotiation, he always had to talk to scholars. In his impression, it was easier for scholars from Central Plains to deal with the use of sending a soldier and fighting?

Maybe it was an assassin. Fu Chong was uneasy and quietly signaled the guards around him to be vigilant and not to let the envoy get close to him. Seeing Fu Chong like this, the envoy laughed twice. "Sir, don't be nervous. General He just wants to eliminate misunderstandings and has no malice, and will not do assassin. Even if he wants to use force, he will defeat you upright and let you see my King's Army in Dawu."

"The King's Master?" Fu Chong breathed a sigh of relief and refused to lose face. "You burned, killed, plundered, and the blood stained the river red. What kind of King's Master would do such a thing..."

"May I ask, have our army killed one person indiscriminately after entering Jingke for a year?"

Fu Chong was speechless and couldn't answer for a while. He Qi led his troops to Xi County for so long, but he did not kill anyone. Instead, he did a lot of things to help ordinary people. I heard that Zhou Yu did better, and he also set up a school, a worker, and asked military Chinese medicine craftsmen to cure diseases for the people. They were deeply loved by the people and everyone called Zhou Lang. But these are all for ordinary people and have nothing to do with these big clans.

This is very similar to the rumors that Sun Ce treats common people well and is hostile to the rich. Sun Ce treats common people well and has no objection, but hostility to the rich is a matter that involves their vital interests, so they certainly cannot ignore it.

"Is he a scholar who can speak eloquently?"

"I understand the classics and do not dare to regard myself as a scholar."

"Where is the one who is from? I dare to ask about the name of Gao."

"I dare not, a native of Kuaiji, Yangzhou, with the surname Xu and the name Ling, and his courtesy name Yuanda, graduated from the Kuaiji Martial Arts Hall and was appointed as the attendant General He."

Fu Chong was very curious. He had heard that there was a martial arts lecture hall in Nanyang. Many generals in the Jingzhou army came from martial arts lecture halls and were proficient in combat, so the Jingzhou army had a strong combat power. It was said that the martial arts lecture halls became more and more magical. Some people said that the martial arts lecture halls were all famous generals, and there were many famous generals in the Jingzhou army, and they could not defeat them at all. This was also the reason why He Qi had not dared to cause trouble for half a year after entering the county. Until not long ago, someone came back from Chengdu and brought more accurate news that the martial arts lecture hall was just an ordinary school, just talking about some basic tactics, and graduates were only proficient in military tactics and were not considered famous generals at all.

It’s true or false, and Fu Chong was also very curious. Now there was a graduate from a martial arts lecture hall standing in front of him, so of course he wanted to ask.

"Kuaiji Martial Arts Hall? Is there a martial arts hall in Kuaiji?"

"Of course, the sacrificial wine in the martial arts hall of this county is the Grand Martial Arts Master Zhu."

"The Taiwei Zhu, who pacified the Yellow Turbans in Jingzhou back then?"

Xu Ling smiled. "Adults are knowledgeable."

Fu Chong was a little embarrassed. No matter how ignorant he was, he would never have heard of Zhu Yan's name. Back then, the Yellow Turbans were in chaos, Zhu Yan led his troops to fight in Nanyang, and his reputation was very famous, even Jing Ke could often hear it. Inadvertently, a disciple of Zhu Yan stood in front of him, which surprised him very much.

He didn't dare to ask, and looked down at the letter He Qi wrote. The letter was written by Deng Zhi in the name of He Qi. He didn't say much, only three items:

First, he reminded Fu Chong not to be mistaken. Regarding the new policy, if he had any questions, he could ask the person who sent the letter, or send someone to Jingzhou to inquire, and take a look at the new face of Jingzhou. If he felt that the road was long, he could also go to Wuling, led by Jing Kepi. People who came back from Chengdu said that the new policy was not good, then did he say that Cao Cao was also imitating the new policy?

The second is to warn Fu Chong not to act rashly and play with swords and weapons. He Qi is a famous general in a hundred battles and is invincible. He is also the elite troops under his command. One is worth ten, and tens of thousands of mobs are not his opponents at all. The reason why he did not start a war is that he did not want to cause more damage and wanted to give you a chance to return. If he does not know how to advance and retreat, he will be afraid that the participating families will be eliminated from now on, and the ancestors will not be able to eat blood.

The third is to tell Fu Chong not to rely on Cao Cao’s reinforcements. Cao Cao and his son were both defeated generals under the King of Wu, so they did not have the courage to fight. If you put your hope on him, you may be disappointed.

Deng Zhi's letter was not tactful, and even a little arrogant. Fu Chong felt very uncomfortable. He looked at Xu Ling in front of him again, his eyes turned around, and threw the letter on the desk in front of him. "Have General He always been so proud? Although we are in the mountains, we have little family resources and know the etiquette of a saint, and we are not barbarians."

Xu Ling nodded. "Yes, Long Fu Yin Dong Xie, who was named Ke Zhuan two hundred years ago, and was called Yilang, how could he be a barbarian? But the adults lived in simplicity, and their vision was blocked by the mountains. They could not help but be deceived by family members and slaves. General He was not proud, but was arrogant, and he did justice, and he was worthy of his heart."

Fu Chong's anger surged. "Is it said that Fu Mou Yelang is arrogant?"

"How dare? The Ke Fu family of Ji is from the Wang clan of Hedong. How could he know a barbarian like the Yelang King?"

Fu Chong was speechless again. Most of the major surnames in Nanzhong were not local natives, but from the Central Plains, especially the former places of the six countries east of Hangu Pass. The first batch of immigrants who entered Nanzhong were descendants of the six countries. Although they settled in Nanzhong, they refused to join the barbarians and attached great importance to their ancestors. He could not say whether the Fu family came from Hedong. He believed it so much, but now he was blocked by Xu Ling's words, and he could not refute it.

He suddenly realized a problem: Maybe Xu Ling was right. They were used to being kings in the mountains. They faced either gangs, slaves or barbarians all day long. They were always high and had unknowingly forgotten that there were people stronger than them outside the mountains. They thought they could control everything, but in fact they were just watching the sky from the well, and there was no difference between them and King Yelang.

In He Qi's eyes, he may not be much better than Yelang Wang.

Fu Chong felt very uncomfortable, a little depressed and a little angry. Whether it was the letter or Xu Ling's attitude, He Qi did not regard him as an equal negotiating opponent. He kept warning him and threatening him. Even if He Qi was good at fighting, he had only 10,000 people, but we had more than 30,000 people who could not fight and defeat him. Could it be that we could not retreat to the mountains? Thinking about Wang Mang and Gongsun Shu's army back then, what could He Qi do?

Knowing yourself and your enemy, Fu Chong looked at Xu Ling and changed his face to a warm smile. "General He said, you can ask for advice on all matters about the new policy."

"Yes, if you have any questions, I will try my best to answer them."

"That's great." Fu Chong rubbed his hands and ordered people to hold a banquet to entertain Xu Ling. "This martial arts lecture hall is also one of the new policies and measures. It's better to start with the martial arts lecture hall. What are the wonderful methods of using military forces in this martial arts lecture hall?"

Xu Ling laughed silently. He knew Fu Chong's thoughts clearly. Before coming, He Qi and Deng Zhi had explained to him. People are all greedy, and these great clans will not give up their interests easily, and this battle is inevitable. When he came to Fu Chong, He Qi was also recruiting generals to discuss and deploy operations to teach these mountain village men a lesson. The reason for meeting was that they were just polite first and then soldiers.

"The martial arts lecture hall talks about the basic principles of using troops, not some wonderful methods. The great way is simple and easy, and there are no magical methods of immortals."

...

"The mission of this battle is very simple. There are two purposes: one is to test the rest and recuperation effect of the entire army in the past six months, and the other is to uproot the Fu family, Long family and Xie family participating in the war, killing one to warn a hundred..."

Deng Zhi stood in front of the map, facing the warm eyes of more than a hundred generals, lieutenants, commanders, and military marquis, talking freely. Behind him, there was a map centered on Xi County and a radius of 30 miles. The map rejected mountains, rivers, and even villages and forts of all sizes. These were the efforts of him and the soldiers of the scout camp for more than half a year, as well as the assistance of many local mountain people. With these maps, the situation around Xi County was fully visible.

He Qi was shocked when he saw these maps for the first time. They did not expect to complete such detailed map drawings in such a short time. When Deng Zhi asked him to provide manpower and material resources to provide support to the nearby mountain villagers, he was still a little reluctant, thinking that these things that bought people's hearts were meaningless and would only waste money. Now he realized that the money was worth it. Without the assistance of locals, Deng Zhi and the scout camp could not complete the project.

With his previous mental preparation, He Qi was very calm at this moment, not like the generals, but he knew very well that with the guidance of these maps, Deng Zhi's plans could be realized, and only then could these ten thousand elites exert their true combat power and defeat their opponents like a ox cut.

"Your lords, one thing you need to declare in advance: only the chief evil is punished, and no innocent people should be killed, especially those barbarians who are regarded as slaves. The situation in Nanzhong is complicated, not only with big surnames, but also with many barbarians. If we attack and advance along the way, we will be blocked step by step. Not to mention ten thousand people, even if there are 500,000 people like the Qin army in the southern expedition, it will not be able to truly pacify Nanzhong, let alone expeditions to India and expand territory. We are not here to seize their land, we are here to liberate them, bring them civilization and prosperity, so that they can share the blessings of the Holy Lord with us and share the peace and prosperity."

"Aren't they barbarians?" A general wearing the armor of a commander shouted in the corner. "If you are not a clan, your heart will be different. If you don't kill it, will you leave any troubles?"
