Chapter Nine Hundred and Thirty-nine Is not according to me but according to the general's heart
Qian Liao watched Xie Gaotai's body being dragged out, the coldness in his eyes still not dissipating.
Standing behind him, there was a middle-aged man who looked very simple. He was a stranger to Qian Liao's army, but Qian Liao quite trusted this man.
Otherwise, this person probably wouldn't stay here at this moment.
"This Xie Gaotai is in the upper, middle and lower strategies. Speaking of which, no matter which three strategies it is, it has a miraculous effect on Guo Geming, especially the top strategy."
The middle-aged man said calmly: "If Guo Geming really follows Xie Gaotai's advice, then the cowardly army in Jiangzhou will really be in a situation of being attacked from both sides."
Qian Liao said: "I know, at that time I was also a little worried that the general would choose the best strategy."
The middle-aged man said: "Actually, although the upper, middle and lower strategies are all terrible, they are meaningless."
He walked to the map and pointed: "If my prediction is correct, general, if you go another hundred miles, you will enter the ambush of Feng Xiu's army."
Qian Liao was startled: "Lin Ye is so unpredictable when it comes to his troops? Shouldn't Feng Xiu besieging Liu Tingsheng?"
The middle-aged man shook his head: "Liu Tingsheng, there is nothing to be afraid of."
Qian Liao paced back and forth in the tent, then looked at the middle-aged man: "Can you guarantee that as long as I lead my army to surrender to the court, General Lin Ye will not kill me?"
The middle-aged man said: "Not only will I not kill you, I will also entrust you with important tasks. This is what the general promised me personally, and... what the general means is that as long as you bring out the main force of Guo Geming,
This team will still be under your command."
Qian Liao strode up to the middle-aged man, looked him straight in the eyes and asked: "I have asked you many times who you are, and you only said that Lin Ye sent you here. Now, if you still refuse
To be honest, I can't guarantee whether I will really surrender to General Lin Ye."
The middle-aged man was silent for a moment and replied: "My real name is Xiang Jinwu, and I am an assistant minister in the Dayu Office."
Qian Liao's expression changed greatly.
He never imagined that the middle-aged man who quietly found him two months ago would actually be an assistant minister of the Office of Management.
"Xiang Jinwu?!"
Qian Liao quickly walked up to Xiang Jinwu and said, "Since you are an assistant minister in charge of the office, how dare you come to our army in person? Do you have any other hidden intentions? Do you want to harm me?"
As his expression changed, he suddenly realized something.
"No wonder you tried so hard to persuade me to kill Xie Gaotai as soon as I got out of prison. You knew Xie Gaotai was a threat to you!"
Xiang Jinwu said calmly: "First of all, the reason why I directly found you, general, instead of other generals in southern Xinjiang, is because I know very well that you have never had any rebellious intentions, even when Guo Geming showed his rebellious intentions several times.
, you have been persuading me all the time."
"Second, I advise the general to kill Xie Gaotai, not because Xie Gaotai is a threat to me, but because he is a threat to you, general."
Having said this, Xiang Jinwu walked outside the door and pointed at the Southern Border Army outside.
"They have made great contributions to Dayu with their blood and sweat, and the southern border is stable. It was General you who led them to cut it out one by one. They are all heroes of Dayu, and they must be respected by the people of Dayu."
"However, once they follow Guo Geming in rebellion, they will all become sinners. Not only will they die, but their families will also be affected."
"General Qian loves his soldiers as much as his sons, can he really bear to see none of them end well?"
Qian Liao's expression changed, and then he let out a breath.
"You actually know very well."
He looked at Xiang Jinwu and said, "From the very beginning when you came to me and I didn't hand you over to the general immediately, you knew you could handle me."
Xiang Jinwu said: "No one can control you, general. If anything, it is the general's conscience and love for the soldiers."
Qian Liao sat down slumped, looking where the anger from before was still there.
"I have walked into your trap step by step. Now, there is no way to go back." Qian Liao said: "If I don't kill Xie Gaotai, I can still return to the general. Now that Xie Gaotai is dead, I
There's no going back."
Xiang Jinwu said: "General Qian, I might as well tell you one more thing. Not long ago, the emperor of Loufan Kingdom, Zong Zhengshiquan, was captured alive by Dayu, and he is now in Geling City."
Qian Liao suddenly raised his head: "This is impossible!"
Xiang Jinwu said: "It may or may not be possible. General Qian will naturally understand after meeting the general. If you still don't believe it, you can send someone to Geling to inquire. Now everyone in Geling knows it."
"General Qian's wish has always been to go north to conquer Lou Fan and expand the territory. Now the entire Zongzheng family has fallen into the hands of Dayu. This is a good opportunity that Dayu has never had in the two hundred years since the founding of the country."
He paused when he said this and looked at Qian Liao's face.
Qian Liao said: "How is this possible? How could the emperor of Lou Fan be suddenly captured alive by Dayu? This is completely unreasonable and impossible!"
Xiang Jinwu said: "General Qian, this may be impossible and we don't have to think about it anymore, because it is the fact."
He pointed to the soldiers outside again.
"Even if the general accepts you and these border troops, they will not be able to stay in southern Xinjiang. General Qian should be able to understand this."
Qian Liao nodded and said: "Who dares to put the border troops who have rebelled in the place where they were originally stationed? If it were me, I wouldn't
dare."
Xiang Jinwu said: "Not only do they not dare, even if the imperial court is tolerant, they will find a way to transfer General Qian's team to another place. If they dare not split it up for you right away, they will split it up gradually."
Qian Liao stood up fiercely: "Then you still dare to promise me!"
Xiang Jinwu said: "As an assistant minister in the office, I naturally have to guarantee you what I should guarantee. Moreover, in the next few years, you will not be separated casually. The court also wants to stabilize, but
You won’t know for sure in a few years.”
Qian Liao looked ugly.
Xiang Jinwu said: "But if General Qian is willing to follow General Lin Ye to the north and take this opportunity to attack Lou Fan, after this battle, the southern border army will no longer be a rebel, but will open up the territory for Dayu."
The hero of the soil!"
"Since ancient times, how can there be an army that can make the southern barbarians surrender when they are stationed in the southern border, and can also make the northern invaders surrender when they mobilize their troops to the north?"
He strode up to Qian Liao: "If we win this battle, General Qian will be the best in history!"
When he heard him say this, Qian Liao's heart began to waver.
He did oppose Guo Geming's rebellion.
These border soldiers are all loyal and good. In order to stabilize Dayu's southern border, the southern barbarians have been able to surrender in the past ten years. Isn't it because they dare to fight and fight hard?
Once they rebel, the identity of these soldiers will change.
Qian Liao never believed that Guo Geming could succeed from the beginning to the end. Even if Dayu was not as strong as before, it could not be overthrown casually. Moreover, there was now a God of War, Lin Ye.
It is true that Qin Kaikai is his sworn brother, but that is just Guo Geming's method to win over him.
Guo Geming couldn't live without Qian Liao, knowing that he was good at fighting, but he had to be on guard against Qian Liao, because Qian Liao was good at fighting.
