"Master Shen, do you want this person to lead the troops to find out the details of the Tubo people?"
Chu Xiong asked with a smile!
Shen Tang nodded, "That's right! However, although this person is a capital offender, it is of course up to your Majesty to decide how he should be punished..."
Having said this, Shen Tang hesitated and stopped.
When Chu Xiong heard this, he thought he understood what Shen Tang meant! To put it bluntly, he was just asking for a favor from him.
If it were other matters, he would naturally not be able to make the decision, but this matter was not big or small.
The most important thing is that Shen Tang has an extremely legitimate reason. In this way, even if he goes back to report to His Majesty, he will not be punished in any way.
After all, the life and death of a mere Sun Ze is not worth mentioning at all, but if he can contribute to the pacification of Tibet, even His Majesty will never say anything.
"Commander Chu also knows that there are tens of thousands of Tibetan troops stationed in the area, and they are ready to go there to investigate. It is almost a narrow escape.
Therefore, I am afraid that if they die because of this, His Majesty will blame them."
"I have been favored by Your Majesty, and my responsibility is to pacify the Chengdu Mansion. Even if Your Majesty blames me, I will naturally have no complaints.
But if Commander Chu is implicated because of this, Shen will feel a little guilty..."
"Hahaha..." Chu Xiong laughed, "Master Shen, you can share the worries of the court, can't you do it yourself?
Besides, he is just a dying man, it would be his honor if he can be of some use in the hands of the adults."
"As for the talk of involvement, there is no need to say more! As His Majesty's ministers, it is natural for you and me to share His Majesty's worries.
Even if there is real blame, Mr. Shen has the courage to take responsibility, but I, Chu Xiong, don’t have this courage?"
"Furthermore, if his life and death can contribute to the pacification of Chengdu Mansion, even His Majesty may not blame him!"
"Therefore, Mr. Shen, there is no need to say anything about this matter. After Chu returns, he will explain it in front of His Majesty! This person's life or death depends on his luck."
Hearing this, Shen Tang quickly stood up and thanked him, "Commander Chu has served the country and the people, and Shen Tang admires him. Therefore, I will leave this matter to Commander Chu."
"In addition, Shen and Commander Chu hit it off immediately, and he admires you as a human being. Therefore, I have specially prepared a small gift. I hope Commander Chu will not dislike it."
As he spoke, Shen Tang flipped his palm, and a banknote was directly thrust into Chu Xiong's hand!
Chu Xiong's eyes narrowed. He saw clearly that there was a word of fifty thousand on the bank note!
What a grand gesture!
As the commander of the Forbidden Army, Chu Xiong naturally had a lot of salary and other income, but even so, fifty thousand taels of silver was not a small figure in his eyes.
"this……"
When Chu Xiong hesitated, Shen Tang smiled slightly and said, "Commander Chu, Shen Tang has nothing to ask for, he just admires the commander.
In addition, there is another thing. The Shao family previously transported a lot of food and grass for our Song Dynasty soldiers and horses, and now they are returning to Lin'an.
They will arrive in Chengdu tomorrow!"
"The journey home is thousands of miles away. I hope I can go with Commander Chu and save some trouble on the way."
"Master Shen, there is no need to be polite about trivial matters. They are transporting food and grass for the army, and they are also loyal and good people. Chu will ensure that they return smoothly, and no one will criticize them in the slightest!"
Even though Chu Xiong agreed, at the same time, he unknowingly put the banknote into his arms!
"Haha, Mr. Shen is busy with military affairs, so Mr. Chu won't bother you.
If something happens, Lord Shen can just ask someone to come and inform you at any time."
After the matter was settled, Chu Xiong naturally did not stay any longer and said goodbye directly to Shen Tang.
Shen Tang sent Chu Xiong away and returned to the tent again. His eyes looked at Sun Ze with a half-smile.
Sun Ze, on the other hand, was a little surprised, but also a little happy.
Now, his life is in Shen Tang's hands, and life and death are only decided by Shen Tang.
"Sun Ze, you are indeed of some use, but it doesn't have to be you! Except for Wang Huaizhen, who will be taken directly back to Lin'an, the others are all being escorted to Chengdu Mansion for the time being. If you are unwilling to cooperate with me, I will replace him at the worst. Just people.
Come to think of it, there are always people who don’t want to die!”
Shen Tang's words made Sun Ze's expression change drastically!
Before, they thought it would be a dead end this time.
But now, Shen Tang undoubtedly has the power to control their life and death.
In this case, let alone that he didn't want to persist in the first place, what's the point of persisting?
In the face of life and death, who would care about Wang Huai's talent?
"Sir, spare my life!"
Even though Sun Zedang gave in, he knelt on the ground and said, "I am willing to serve you, sir. Please spare my life!"
Sun Ze surrendered and Shen Tang smiled slightly!
Shen Tang naturally had a motive for regaining Sun Ze.
First, although the nearly 20,000 troops left behind by Wang Huai can be dispersed and added to other teams, it is not the best way.
After all, the soldiers and horses under Shen Tang's command are either local tribes or golden soldiers. It is not easy to integrate them.
And these 20,000 soldiers and horses are extremely important to Shen Tang, who is currently lacking in numbers.
After conquering Sun Ze, this group of soldiers and horses can exert their greatest value under the leadership of Sun Ze.
In addition, this sudden change must have Wang Huaizhen's plan.
And Sun Ze is the person close to Wang Huaichen, and he is absolutely aware of this matter.
If you master Sun Ze, you will master all of Wang Huaixian's plans.
This is extremely critical for the next action.
"I don't accept useless people! So, if you want to save your life, you need to show your worth!"
Of course Sun Ze knew this.
He thought quickly for a moment, and then said urgently, "I can help you master Wang Huai's troops and horses so that they can be used by you.
In addition, the reason why General Xin Qiji and others were besieged by Tubo this time was not a coincidence, but Wang Huaichen secretly informed the Tubo people of their marching route, and Wang Huaichen also inserted a hidden line in their army …”
Sun Ze is also a smart man. Even though he understood his own value, he also told Shen Tang without reservation.
After a long while, Sun Ze finished speaking. He raised his head and looked at Shen Tang carefully.
But Shen Tang nodded slightly, and then said calmly, "Sun Ze, since you know what you are interested in, I will not lie! I will give you a chance to make meritorious deeds. You can lead Wang Huai's troops and follow me south to fight with you. The war between Tibet and Tibet."
"When this war is over, as long as you are still alive, whether you want to stay in the army or remain anonymous, I can promise you.
I just hope that you will not betray my trust in you! If you still want to play some tricks, I can tell you that absolutely no one will save you a second time!"
