The scale of the city was not very large, and a few months ago there was a great battle that destroyed more than half of the city, and even if some of the buildings were restored later, they were all converted to storage.

When Qu Zhou and his entourage arrived at Lieren City, Tian Ju couldn't help but be stunned when they learned that the world-famous General Shen was living in the camp that was not very large in the plains outside the city.

Although he did not hold any ministry in the kingdom of Karma, he once went to meet the lord Shi Hu on behalf of his father-in-law Tian Fu, and saw how grand the camp of the lord of Karma was, with tens of thousands of followers at every turn, and the guard of honor was more than several miles in a row. Judging from the scale of the ceremony alone, this Southern Kingdom Shen General is not lacking in shabbyness, so much so that he can't help but have a crazy thought in his heart: if there is still a wandering army in this realm, he stumbles here......

This idea was too terrifying for Tian Ju to think deeply. But when he entered the camp, he realized that the idea was also a bit naïve and ridiculous.

Although the scale of the camp is not large, even the outer fence is buried deep in the ground, thick than the arm's arm, and the horses are densely packed, like a fierce beast with hideous minions, and the layout of this layer of periphery alone is more difficult to break than many tall and wide cities.

Although there were not many soldiers in the camp, they were all burly and strong, and a bloody aura flowed out of every move.

In particular, those soldiers are even more extravagant and dizzying, the two-stone bow is just the standard, and the tall and divine horses of the Hexi Dragon Horse Walking Camp, especially the soldiers who stand outside the tent in the very center, one by one seem to be sculptures cast from steel, looking silent as a mountain, which is awe-inspiring.

There was an almost substantial pressure in the camp, the more experienced the veteran generals felt it, no matter where they stood, there seemed to be many pairs of eyes staring at them, and the slightest abnormal movement would inevitably be the end of blood splashing on the spot, so that Tian Ju didn't even dare to relax his breathing, and walked slowly, lest the action too big would cause the solemn murderous aura to cause a landslide.

It's a matter of course to think about it, this General Shen, who has not yet met, is definitely the most powerful person today, including Shi Hu, the lord of the Qiang, when he is at his most powerful, he is far worse than others, how can he enter a dangerous situation without defense?

After entering the camp, Tian Ju and his attaché were placed in a side tent and waited, Tian Ju glanced at Jin Xuangong who was led away by the soldiers a little helplessly, and then sat honestly in the tent, sipping the tea sent by the soldiers, but the nowhere and non-stop scrutiny around him made him feel like he was on pins and needles, and he was sweating unconsciously.

As soon as he entered the camp, he was summoned by the general, Jin Xuangong was also quite flattered, and now he is also one of the general's protégés, and after entering the account, he tended to worship: "Jin Xuangong, see the general's ......"

"No need to be polite, sit down first, and talk about the details of this trip."

Shen Zhezi was not busy with official business at this time, he raised his hand and motioned Jin Xuangong to sit nearby, and there was some appreciation in his eyes, although he cherished Jin Xuangong's talent, he didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to emerge not long after joining the army, but he was more pleased.

Hearing this, Jin Xuangong was a little embarrassed, he also felt that his attack on Shangbai from afar should be regarded as a miracle, but the various developments in the war after that also made him understand that the Lord Hurun was carefully arranged, and as soon as he counterattacked, he would have the power of thunder, and his move to conquer Shangbai was not as significant as originally thought.

However, since the general asked, he also spoke briefly, and said truthfully: "Conquering Shangbai may have lonely courage to express, and it is really not enough to boast of miraculous achievements." Fortunately, the Lord is lenient and has never held his subordinates accountable for trespassing......"

"Hu Houze is the governor of the province, if he can't even accommodate a small change under his command, it is his dereliction of duty. As for you, you are already free from negative aspects, and it is very rare to be able to stand on it and forge ahead against the current. ”

Jin Xuangong, as a low-level commander of the main army, can not be restricted by the predicament, take the initiative to break the situation, and can not violate the plan of the superiors, this is the embodiment of ability, different positions, and different standards. At least the performance of this initial battle did not live up to the general's expectations of him.

Of course, having said that, in the entire royal division system nowadays, there are not thousands but more than a thousand commanders of the level of Jin Xuangong, many of whom have outstanding performance in the regional battlefield, but there are not many who can really be rewarded by the general.

So even though it was only a verbal compliment, Jin Xuangong was also grateful and hurriedly thanked him.

"Let's talk about Guangzong's begging."

Shen Zhezi didn't have too many greetings to motivate him, so he turned his head and got down to business.

Jin Xuangong hurriedly straightened his posture and explained in detail all kinds of contacts between himself and Guangzong. The beggar army expressed its willingness to surrender, although Jin Xuangong was in it, but in fact, he did not dare to take credit, because the beggar army had plans in this regard.

At that time, not long after he captured Shangbai, Guangzong reacted, and hundreds of rangers arrived outside Shangbai City and walked around the city to find out the details. At that time, there was also a lack of sufficient strength in Shangbai City, so Jin Xuangong shouted at the city gate to invite him, and if the beggar army was unwilling to negotiate, he had nothing to do.

Fortunately, the development of the situation was in a good direction, and then Tian Fu, the lord of Guangzong City, personally came to Shangbai and asked Jin Xuangong to enter his camp to discuss in detail. Jin Xuangong can be regarded as risking his life to go out of the city, so he can be regarded as reaching a reluctant consensus.

After that, the development of the situation was recorded in detail in the Hurun Xinbao, and Jin Xuangong temporarily stayed in the beggar army as a hostage, but he didn't know much.

After asking a few more details, Shen Zhezi also had a certain understanding of Guangzong's begging work, so he stopped talking in this regard, and said to Jin Xuangong: "Hu Houze is in the army, you don't have to go, first stay in the Shengwu army as a temporary captain, and then go to Shahe with the army to listen to it." ”

finally had meritorious service, not only did he fail to accumulate merit, but his military rank was demoted by one level, but Jin Xuangong was not disappointed, but was extremely surprised, and thanked him again and again. Originally, the four armies of Xingtai, plus the Guanzhong Zhenwu Army, these strong armies were already one level higher than the other main armies, and the Shengwu Army was a strong army among the strong armies.

And Jin Xuangong is even more pleased that the right-wing war has come to an end for the time being, and with the cold winter coming, there will be no big battle plan for the time being. The attack on Xiangguo by Xie Aibu in the direction of Shahe was definitely on the agenda later, and the general threw him to another place at this time, and he was really pleasantly surprised by the meaning of valuing cultivation.

After Jin Xuangong was grateful, Shen Zhezi summoned Tian Ju from Guangzong again. Regarding the resettlement of Guangzong's begging work, he already has an idea in his heart, and the specific arrangements are, of course, to see what the attitude of Guangzong's people is.

Tian Ju walked into the camp tent full of apprehension, and then lowered his head to pay respects, and even did not dare to rashly look at the southern minister who sat on the top, until the sound of the clear and free ceremony came from above, he stood up cautiously, and took advantage of the situation to look up, his face first showed obvious surprise, and then seemed to be shocked to lose his faux pas and hurriedly lowered his head.

Seeing this scene, Shen Zhezi couldn't help but be embarrassed. He doesn't know what kind of image he should be in the imagination of these Hebei people, but he has recently summoned many people from Hebei, and similar reactions are not uncommon, and it is obvious that his image is somewhat different from the imagination of these Hebei people.

It was not his fault that he was too handsome, and he did not feel inferior because of this, and he did not need to cover his face with iron armor in order to maintain his majesty.

"The name of begging, when I heard it at the beginning of the old year, I couldn't bear to cry. Yan Zhao is so heroic, he is the backbone of my summer, what kind of harm to the world, so that the people are so stubborn? I wonder if you can tell me a little bit about the internal reasons? ”

Tian Jushang was amazed at the amazing character of General Shen, and after hearing this question, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and he couldn't react for a while. He naturally thought about what questions this General Shen would have, but this question was still beyond his expectations.

Why did the beggar army come from, to be honest, even if Tian Ju is already a high-level figure in Guangzong's begging, he doesn't know much about it. A group of suffering people who are struggling on the line of death, it is still difficult to make a living, and there is no tradition of faith in history. Moreover, in the past few years, the continuation of the begging force has also been very tortuous and difficult, if it is not for the internal perseverance, it is inevitable to be affected and dispersed 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 tell the development process of the begging army after he knew the incident, which inevitably involved all kinds of tyranny in the country, in short, it is always good to describe Guangzong's begging experience more miserable, not to mention that Guangzong's situation of begging has not improved.

Shen Zhezi listened carefully, occasionally asking some detailed questions. Based on some knowledge of later generations, he also has a certain understanding of the begging army, but the beggar army is not the mainstream force in this world, and the record of only a few words will inevitably become unrecognizable after thousands of years of dissemination.

Although I have been in this world for a long time, I really don't know much about the beggar army. Therefore, Shen Zhezi's willingness to meet Guangzong's envoy was more out of curiosity.

For the beggar army, Shen Zhezi has mixed emotions, and in addition to sympathy, there is also a kind of intolerance of the superiors. Guangzong's demand for begging, Hurun has reported, under the overall situation of Wang Shi's recovery of Hebei, he still wants to seek an existence independent of Wang Fa, which is naïve and pitiful.

However, Shen Zhezi also understood that the beggar army's pursuit of independence was completely different from Hebei Shiliu's struggle for rural preservation. They are a group of real low-level poor people, although they have their own armed forces, but they are far from having political opinions, and they lack long-term planning.

If you can barely make an analogy, Liu Gaozhi of the Northeast Prefecture of Jiangbei in later generations is similar to the beggar army, he has a strong military force, but he has no political demands or cannot realize his demands, and as a result, he can only become the butcher's knife of the minions of the people in power.

But the beggar army was more miserable than the Beifu soldiers, and the Beifu soldiers at least appeared Liu Yu, a British lord, who took advantage of the opportunity of the Jiangdong clan to fight for power and profit, and jumped up on the political stage to become the protagonist.

From the beginning of its establishment to its eventual demise, the Beggars never had such an opportunity. Perhaps in the later collapse of the kingdom of Qian, the cooperation between Li Nong and Ran Min is the most likely, but with Li Nong's subdued punishment, the beggar army, as a force, will no longer have such a chance.
