As early as when Shihu, the king of Zhongshan, was striving to lead the army south, Zu Yue tried his best to help facilitate this matter. Now he has also come out with the army, and his long-cherished wish has finally been fulfilled.

As soon as he was demoted to a general, his identity was embarrassing, so naturally he could not have the opportunity to lead the army independently, but he was forbidden to be kept near the Shihu military tent, although there were soldiers around him, but at the same time, these people were also responsible for monitoring him.

Zu Yue also knew in his heart that Shi Hu seemed to be arrogant, but in fact he was suspicious in his heart, which was the same as Zhao Zhu Shi Le. Therefore, he was able to join the army this time, and he did not dare to hope that he could repeat the power atmosphere of previous years. Revisiting the old place, talking about his disappointment, and hoping to find an opportunity to improve his situation in the slave country.

After the defeat of Shi Cong's kingdom and the news reached the army, Zu Yue's mood could be described as complicated. He and Shi Cong are also old enemies, in the early years, they confronted each other, fought with each other, and even the defeat after his madness, all of which were facilitated by his people and Shi Kan, the two remnants of the beggar remnants.

Knowing that Shi Cong was defeated, Zu Yue was not lacking in schadenfreude at first. If it weren't for Shi Cong and others in the early years, he might not have fallen to the end he is now, and it is very likely that he will share the power of Jiangdong with Su Jun, and be a very popular minister! It is not an exaggeration to say that they have a deep hatred for each other, and they do not share the sky. Therefore, the more dangerous Shi Cong's situation is, the happier his heart will be.

But on the other hand, whether he admits to Shi Cong's talent or not, he will always lose at the hands of this person. But in the early years, this enemy, who had trapped himself in a catastrophe, was now defeated by a junior in Jiangdong, which made him a little unacceptable.

In the early years, when he inherited his brother's business, dominated Huaizhong, and shocked Jiangdong, Wuxing Shen was just a local tyrant in Jiangdong. Even Shen Shiju is not in his eyes, let alone a mere Wu Xiaozi.

But now, the former overlord of Fang Bo has now become a remnant of the robbery under the fence. And the originally unknown man not only occupied his old inheritance, but also defeated the old enemy who had defeated him.

This made Zu Yue's mood a little heavy for a while, and there was no lack of regret and entanglement. But right now, he doesn't even qualify for the disappointment and loneliness of hiding in the corner.

The defeat of southern Henan not only affected the morale of the army, but also stirred the hearts of the people in the territory. Shihu, the king of Zhongshan, turned to the local area with a posture of appeasement, and many township sects were forced to join the army one after another to ask for a meeting. Whenever this happens, Shi Hu asks him to attend and receive these people.

On the one hand, it is naturally because of the ancestral covenant of the old town of southern Henan, but all the slightly powerful township sects know each other. With him in the center as the contact, it will naturally be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort. On the other hand, Shi Hu probably also wanted to use this to deter these township sects: even he, the original Yuzhou assassin history, can only be inferior to Shi Hu now, and naturally can dispel the antagonism of many township sects.

However, in this way, Zu Yue naturally found it difficult to accept emotionally, and he often saw the people under his rule in previous years with a depressed body. Whether those people were courteous or caring, or sneering and ridiculing, they all made Zu Yue ashamed and embarrassed, and it was difficult to face it.

But unfortunately, he was not qualified to bargain, so he could only be at the mercy of Shi Hu. The only thing Liao was pleased to see that his son Zu Qing was becoming more and more important by Shi Hu's side, although he was only in his teens, he was still able to join the army, and even Shi Hu did not retreat every time he sought a big thing.

The father and son are still in a posture on the surface, hating to kill each other in order to satisfy Shi Hu's deformed taste, but in private there is already a stable communication channel. Many of Shi Hu's deep plots, Zu Qing secretly passed them on to Zu Yue. This can make Zu Yue understand Shi Hu's heart better, and every suggestion can be used, and it will also improve his situation little by little.

On this day, Zu Yue received several old troops in the army, and when he sent people out, he happened to see Qin Su and Qin Zizhong leading several soldiers to patrol the camp and pass by, when he pointed to Qin Su in the distance and said: "Fang Cai and Jun talked a lot about old things, and I felt a lot of emotion. I remember your in-laws, the Lujiang Qin family, and now the Qin family has a son, Qin Zizhong, who is in charge of the army, do you want to help you introduce me? ”

When the man heard this, he looked in the direction that Zu Yue was pointing out, and after looking at it for a long time, he shook his head and said, "Grandpa is probably wrong, if it is someone else, I don't dare to confirm it." But if you talk about Qin Zizhong, this person served under Huang Quan earlier, and I met him once two years ago, and it was definitely not the person opposite. ”

When Zu Yue heard this, his face changed slightly, and he led the man to the side and whispered a few words, and when he heard the man confirm again, he sent the man away, and then returned to the camp thoughtfully.

When it was time to camp at night, Xin Bin had just returned to the camp to unload his armor, and even though a Chinese army soldier came to summon that it was Zu Yue who had been invited. He didn't doubt him, so he got up and followed him to the Chinese army's lodgings.

After entering the camp tent, when he saw that the ancestor was serving at the banquet, Xin Bin stepped forward to salute.

"You don't have to be polite, come and sit down."

Zu Yue smiled and beckoned to Xin Bin, signaling him to come closer, staring at the other party Shaoqing, and then said with a smile: "I was tired of Zizhong earlier, although the king uses me, he is still on guard in his heart." Previously, the generals bravely went out to hunt, because Zizhong you were recommended by me, but I couldn't get it, and in the detention camp, I missed the opportunity to go out to hunt. ”

"Why did my grandfather say this? If it weren't for the Ming Gong's use, the servant would have been only humble to the bottom, and it would be difficult to have the responsibility of today. Fortunately, I have fulfilled my wishes. What's more, abusing the countryside to seek favor is despised by people, and it is not the work of a strong man. ”

Simbin said quickly, without complaining.

"Zizhong said this, just to make me feel at ease. In today's world, Shishu has actually entered, if he can hold the festival and seal the marquis, why should he care about the means. Zizhong, there is no shortage of brave troops around you, if you can show your talents, you will not be inferior to a few good generals under the current king's account. This time the army came south to hunt for merit, which was a good opportunity for her husband to make a name for himself. If you fall behind in one step, everything will be constrained. ”

Speaking of this, Zu Yue had no shortage of apologies on his face, and said to Xin Bin: "Since we met, I have been a lot of help, and now I really want to help you again." Zizhong, you are not a mediocre person, how to hunt for merit should have your own plan, and there is no one else at the moment, you might as well come directly. If I can help you, I will never refuse. ”

When Xin Bin heard this, he was inevitably happy in his heart, he really wanted Zuyo to help him break away from the army. Although the previous military discipline was loose, it was still too far away from Huainan, and if he rashly led his troops to break away from the army, there would be too many dangers. However, as he approached Huainan, military discipline suddenly became stricter, and there were strict rules for camping and sleeping, so that he could not find a chance to break away from the slave army.

As the journey got closer and closer to Huainan, Xin Bin also had a lot of anxiety in his heart. He had already found out a lot of internal information about Qianhu here, and even the grievances and contradictions between Shi Hu, the commander of the army, and Guo Ao had learned a lot from the chatter of the ancestors in the past, and he should hurry back to Huainan to make corresponding arrangements to deal with it.

But now it seems that it is really difficult for him to break away from the army on his own, and although he is now the commander of a main battalion in the Karma army, he is not a prominent position.

Nowadays, there are many indiscriminate rewards and seals in the Qianhu army, such as Shi Hu's closest thousands of Chinese army superintendent battalion soldiers, even the pawns almost all have a city gate governor or general position. As for Zahu Yi, it is even more serious, and even the official general number is overflowing. Some of them are officially written and rewarded, and some are simply self-proposed, just seeking to be called mighty, but no one has studied and forbidden.

It was difficult to leave the slave army to go south to deliver the news, and when the slave soldiers really pressed the border to form a siege on Shouchun and the soldiers came to the city, it was even more difficult to pass the news, and it was no longer of much significance.

At this time, hearing Zu Yue's willingness to help, Xin Bin was naturally very happy, and after a little muttering, he said: "The servant is humble or obvious, and he didn't dare to make greater hopes. However, he was more favored by his grandfather, and if he didn't have an inch or two of his heart, he was really ashamed of his grandfather. Before that, the servant also had a shallow thought, Huainan is my own country, and there are many relatives and old people there, so he wants to take the first step and recruit brave soldiers in the countryside for the army to respond. Today, my grandfather asked questions, but he didn't dare to hide it, just because people were soft-spoken, and they didn't dare to reveal it. ”

"That's what you think?"

When Zu Yue heard this answer, he lowered his head and thought about it, his eyes flickered slightly, and after a while, he looked at Xin Bin again and said: "This time, hundreds of thousands of troops from the south of the Qiang Kingdom have not been strong and powerful in recent years, and they are destroyed by strong troops, so there is really no need to pretend to be biased. It's a bit redundant to think about you. However, it is not that there is no other way to seek merit, and it is still necessary to go to Huainan first. ”

Hearing that Zu Yue did not approve of his words, Xin Bin was slightly disappointed in his heart, and when he heard the latter sentence, his face showed joy again: "Grandfather has some teaching, and the servant will never dare to resign!" ”

"Huainan Shen Weizhou, originally a child in Jiangdong, can not be described as a soldier, but he is bold. This time, the army of the Kingdom of China had not yet arrived at the border, and he dared to enter the battle through Huailie. Shi Cong's thief is too gracious, he can't resist, it's too insulting to the military. The king of Zhongshan was furious about this, and wanted to choose a strong man to lurk in Huai, looking for an opportunity to assassinate Shen Weizhou in the town. Zizhong has lived in your native country for a long time, knows geography well, and has many brave soldiers, so it is appropriate to be selected. If you are interested in this miraculous feat, I will strongly recommend it in front of the King of Zhongshan, I don't know if you are willing? ”

Speaking of this, Zu Yue squinted his eyes and looked at Xin Bin carefully, his expression was quite profound.

"Assassinate Shen Weizhou?"

When Xin Bin heard this, his face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly asked, "How many people does King Zhongshan arrange?" How could an army be so powerful that it could assassinate an evil person for such a conspiracy? Even if he succeeds, this will make Siyi laugh shamefully! ”

When Zu Yue heard this, he already waved his hand and laughed: "This is a living from the King of Zhongshan, how can others dissuade him." I just think this is not an opportunity for Zizhong, so I asked you, I don't know if you would like to do it? ”

"I ...... Of course the servant does! I also hope that my grandfather will help me and be able to rush to the front, so as not to be won by other outlaws! ”

Xin Binjiu was in the Zhongshan Palace, and he knew that there were more strong rangers in the palace, and if there was really such a plan, the horses might be in danger. Even if it doesn't work, it will inevitably make the people in the town panic. Therefore, he was already eager to cross the river with wings, and reported the matter early, so that the horse could be on guard.

When Zu Yue heard this, his smile was a little more determined, and then he waved his hand and smiled: "This is just an idea, a momentary thought, and it may not be put into action." What's more, at present, the defense of the Huaishang River must be tight, and it is difficult to swim across the Huai, not to mention the danger of approaching the town with a stranger. But you don't have to be disappointed, Zizhong, if there is any chance later, I will tell you immediately. ”

When Xin Bin heard this, he was indeed both happy and disappointed, but he didn't know that Zu Yue was just testing him, and he could only retreat with a heavy heart after hearing this.
