"I have warned you a long time ago, be careful of Li Zitong. You are still messed up like this by Li Zitong. You are really not a qualified leader!"
When he saw Du Fuwei, Wu Xin did not greet him with much politeness, nor did he have any intention of hostility. Instead, he shook his head and sighed as if he hated iron, which was surprising.
Not to mention the arrangements of both sides, even Du Fuwei himself was shocked. He didn't expect King Xiewu to face him like this!
The sudden arrival of King Xiewu was not what Du Fuwei and others expected, but King Xiewu found them on his own.
Looking at the Demon Queen and others, it was clear that someone from the Demon Sect should have found the trace of Du Fuwei and informed King Xiewu.
What made Du Fuwei and others secretly relieved was that King Xie Wu was not hostile at all, but rather felt like a private friend.
"In the opinion of King Meng Xiewu, I am indeed not a qualified leader..."
At this point, any argument seemed futile. Du Fuwei simply refused to explain and responded with a wry smile.
During Li Zitong's rebellion, Du Fuwei was caught off guard and was attacked by men arranged by Li Zitong. He was seriously injured. Fortunately, his adopted son (Du Fuwei had more than 30 adopted sons, all of whom were extraordinary in strength) and general Wang Xiongdan took him on his back.
He fled and finally hid in the mountains and forests, luckily escaping pursuit.
However, due to Du Fuwei's injury, it is not suitable for distance and bumpy rides.
Who would have known that before Du Fuwei could recover from his injuries and leave, King Xiewu would come looking for him!
It is worth mentioning that Li Zitong's rebellion did inflict heavy losses on Du Fuwei's army. However, it was not as tragic as the external rumors.
Because at that time, Du Fuwei's army was complying with the agreement with King Xiewu and evacuated one after another. Most of the army had already withdrawn to Lujiang County in the west and Xuancheng County in the south. This was the main reason that gave Li Zitong the opportunity to rebel, but it also saved Li Zitong.
Most of Du Fuwei's army.
This is the real reason why Wu Xin came in person this time. If Du Fuwei was so miserable that only dozens of people were left present, there would be no need for Wu Xin to come in person!
Admiring Du Fuwei's character and abilities is one thing. But after all, Wu Xin is the overlord, or... the princes. Naturally, he views things from the perspective of the overall situation, not individuals, and rarely acts out of emotion.
"Your ideal... I have already understood it. Your ideal is my ideal!"
Wu Xin did not criticize or comment too much, but took the initiative to change the topic and said inexplicably. After a pause, he simply pointed out:
"Since I arrived in Liyang County and saw the people's livelihood under your rule, I have wanted to recruit you! With your character and ability, it can only be said that you were born at the wrong time and due to fate, you should not be a rebel!"
Du Fuwei naturally understood what Wu Xin meant, but he didn't care and asked, "What if I refuse?"
"If you refuse... then I will turn around and leave! I won't do anything to you. However, I only want the land of the three counties. Naturally, I won't care about other places and other things!"
Wu Xin responded quickly without much thought, and reminded with a smile: "Now Li Zitong's army is retreating steadily and has basically evacuated Liyang County. He is taking advantage of the situation to recruit and win over your subordinates and troops, and publicize that you are dead.
If you don't show up, I believe it won't be long before all of you, including your army, and even your wealth and resources, will be his..."
After finishing his words, after thinking for a while, Wu Xin continued confidently:
"Of course, you may value these factors. However, for me, I don't care too much. What I care about is... talents and deployment!"
"Deployment?" Du Fuwei asked thoughtfully, making some guesses but not sure.
Wu Xin did not show off, and simply said bluntly: "Submit to me! However, if you continue to be your rebel king, with wealth, resources, connections, etc., I will support you to a certain extent..."
"Recruitment?" Wang Xiongdan couldn't help but interjected in surprise.
Wu Xin thought for a while and responded: "If you want to think so, you can do it at any time. However, I would like to treat you as... a surprise soldier and a way out!"
"A surprise attack? A way out? If... King Xiewu doesn't recognize us..." Wang Xiongdan asked, his tone meaningful.
There are countless cases of people turning their backs and disowning people after not using them to their best advantage.
Wu Xin explained without hesitation: "You can rest assured on this point. I have already said that you can change your identity at any time, and you can do so now. At the same time, I promise that no matter what the outcome, I will give you a good future.
, a good future..."
Wang Xiongdan, Ximen Junyi and other members of Du Fuwei's army looked at each other in surprise and confusion.
On the surface, this agreement is indeed of great benefit to Du Fuwei's army now. When they recover, they can deny it or even rebel against it.
This kind of thing must be a private agreement. Neither Wu Xin nor Du Fuwei will say it explicitly. It depends on each other's credibility and intentions!
Everyone in Du Fuwei's army was silent for a moment, and no one responded.
Ximen Junyi took the initiative and asked: "Can you let me wait for a few days to think about it?"
"Okay! As long as you are not in a hurry, I will be even less anxious!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Du Fuwei and others turned around and left without waiting for their reaction...
"etc……"
Du Fuwei, whose expression changed suddenly, suddenly shouted. Seeing Wu Xin and others stop and look back, he quickly continued:
"What exactly do you want us to do?"
Wu Xin thought for a while and made it clear again: "Without him! Continue your anti-king road, try your best to calm down the chaos nearby as soon as possible. Don't let the nearby places suffer too tragic flames, that's enough!"
"Hmph! King Xie Wu has a good plan. He plans to drive away wolves and swallow tigers, and kill people with a borrowed knife! Use us to calm down the situation in the south, and finally reap the benefits?" Ximen Junyi said with a disdainful sneer.
Wu Xin shook his head slightly and responded: "People in the world cannot help themselves. I am the prince of the Sui Dynasty, so... there are many things that I cannot and cannot do. You are different... No matter what, you should benefit one party.
It must be our common goal and desire!”
"That's it? Aren't you afraid that I will regret it?" With Du Fuwei's wisdom, he quickly understood what Wu Xin meant, but he asked in disbelief.
"What are you afraid of? If it were not limited by the situation and time, it wouldn't take much time for me to wipe out the south. Would I still be afraid of this?"
Wu Xin sneered and responded naturally. Then he added: "Of course, the most important thing is... I believe in the credibility of the Chief Manager (Du Fuwei)."
“What a spirit!”
Du Fuwei's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but praise. He then continued boldly:
"The matter has come to an end! Your Majesty dares to give your trust, don't we dare to? Haha..."
No matter what happens in the future, given the current situation of Du Fuwei and his army and forces, and the agreement proposed by Wu Xin, Du Fuwei and others really can't think of a reason to refuse. At the very least, they can use the situation to tide over the current disaster.
Of course, one of the main reasons why I dare not refuse is... I am a knife and a fish for you!
