Li Ping walked up quickly and whispered: "General, the Pu people's envoy is here."
Li Xingchen was startled for a moment and nodded slightly. These Pu people came very quickly. Xiao Shilian obviously also knew about this, and he immediately became interested. However, King Gu Ye came here for the first time today, so he was a little surprised.
Although he has never been to Bashu, he asked several ship bosses about the situation in Bashu clearly before coming, and he knew where the Pu people came from. Among the eight tribes of Ba people, this Pu people are the gentlest. Now Pu people
Someone came to contact Li Xingchen, does it mean that the Ba people decided to follow Li Xingchen?
King Gu Ye knew how capable these Ba people were, and also knew about the bloody turmoil they caused in the Bashu land a few years ago. Because they had a deep hatred with the Northern Zhou Dynasty, these Ba people certainly could not go to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, so it was inevitable to contact Li Xingchen.
, I felt relieved at the moment.
Li Xingchen smiled slightly and looked at Gu Yewang and Xiao Shilian: "Let's go, let's go and meet these Pu people. Maybe we will have a lot to rely on them in the future."
Wrinkling his eyebrows slightly, King Gu Ye said in a low voice: "The Ba people would cause trouble in Bashu before, but now it is even more difficult to say. If the general uses the Ba people, will there be some risks..."
Both Li Xingchen and Xiao Shilian paused in their steps. Li Xingchen was silent for a moment and said lightly: "Gu Gong, having said that, I have too few men and horses now, so I have to take the risk and give it a try, otherwise I am not sure.
They were really able to escape unscathed from the Northern Zhou army. The Ba people want to rely on you for revenge, and you also need them."
King Gu Ye suddenly fell silent. In fact, he only knew a rough number of the number of troops and horses Li Xinchen had in hand. And as a civil servant, his way of thinking about things was definitely not based on the number of troops and horses Li Xinchen had. So now Li Xinchen suddenly mentioned
Seeing this matter, King Gu Ye didn't know how to answer.
After all, in King Gu Ye's subconscious mind, Li Xingchen should have enough strength to deal with the threat of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Ever since he knew this name, this name has always represented victory and even miracles.
This was the first time that King Gu Ye had seen Li Xingchen's worries.
Continuing to walk to the threshold, Li Xingchen was silent for a moment and whispered: "Gu Gong, I understand your worries. But no matter what the Ba people want, I have to seize this power, even if it is to drink poison to quench my thirst, I have to
Make yourself stronger first.”
Gu Yewang was silent for a long time, and could only nod slightly. Li Xingchen had already said this, what else could he say? At this time, Gu Yewang could only sigh deeply in his heart.
Only when he was standing in Bajun at this moment could he understand what kind of difficulties Li Xingchen had overcome. Entering Bajun alone, this young man overcame obstacles and conquered such a world. And now he is trying to hold on to this world.
, and even more so, he knows what he should do and what he should not hesitate to do!
As if he felt that King Gu Ye still had concerns, Li Xingchen then explained: "Gong Gu, I worked so hard just to find a way out of this troubled world, and these Ba people, I think they have the same
idea······"
"Shizhong!" Gu Yewang interrupted Li Xingchen unexpectedly this time.
Xiao Shilian, who had been turning a deaf ear to all this, turned his head and looked at King Gu Ye coldly. He knew where King Gu Ye was concerned, but he knew better that Li Xingchen now needed Ba people just as Ba people needed Li Xingchen.
Same.
Therefore, if this old stubborn man wants to stop Li Xingchen, then Xiao Shilian will no longer stand idly by.
Li Xingchen turned his head and looked at Gu Yewang, waiting for him to speak. Gu Yewang made up his mind: "What you said makes sense, but you should wait for me, I am slow!"
Li Xingchen and Xiao Shilian glanced at each other subconsciously, with a smile on their faces. Li Xingchen stepped forward to support Gu Yewang: "I forgot this! Please forgive me, Mr. Gu!"
King Gu Ye nodded with a smile: "I can't keep up with you young people, but you can't underestimate me. I still have the ability to stay and help you guard this business. Although there is a storm outside,
Big, but young people should go out and let go!"
Li Xingchen and Xiao Shilian laughed loudly.
They knew very well that although King Gu Ye still couldn't let go of his arrogance, he at least admitted that he was inferior to Li Xinchen in judgment and planning, so he simply sat in the rear and acted as if he was obeying Li Xinchen's arrangements.
This is already a great breakthrough for an old minister who is usually arrogant in front of young people.
At least for Li Xingchen, it was enough for Gu Yewang to be able to do this.

Du Qi intertwined his hands and stood respectfully in the hall.
Although the winter in Bashu is not very cold, Bajun is surrounded by mountains anyway, and there is still a chill in the mountain wind. However, Du Qi, who does not look very strong, does not care at all.
He didn't care, just standing like this. The few followers behind him also remained silent, only their eyes kept scanning around, obviously wary of this strange place.
"General, this is Du Qi, the young patriarch of the Pu people!" Li Ping walked down the steps quickly.
Li Xinchen strode down, but Du Qi didn't wait for Li Xinchen to walk in front of him, before he handed over his hand: "Du Qi from Pu comes to see General Chen Dangkou!"
Li Xingchen returned the courtesy with a smile, and introduced Xiao Shilian and Gu Yewang behind him to Du Qi.
The Ba people should be regarded as the closest to Han culture among the barbarian tribes. Most of their surnames are not much different from those of the Han people. For example, Li Te, the founder of the Han Dynasty, was one of the eight tribes of the Ba people, that is,
Commonly known as "Banzhen Man", his surname is "Li".
There are many people with the surname Du among the Pu people, and the most famous among them is naturally Du Yu, the king of Shu. The cuckoo cries blood is an allusion to Du Yu. Over the years, the Du family has been in charge of various tribes of the Pu people. Du Qi is of this generation
The eldest son of the old patriarch and the future leader of the Pu tribe.
The residences of the Pu people are concentrated in Bajun, especially in the northwest area of Bajun and Hezhou. Most of the mountains and rivers in this area are already under the control of Li Xingchen. In addition, the Pu people are the gentlest among the eight tribes of the Ba people, and they are friendly.
The relationship between the Han people is also relatively the best, so this time the Pu people could not help but come to Li Xingchen first, which is reasonable.
What's more important is that the Pu people directly dispatched the future family leaders, and their sincerity is self-evident.
Looking up and down at Du Qi in front of him, Li Xingchen couldn't help but sigh. This man was humble to him and didn't have the airs of a future clan leader. However, he nodded and bowed without even meeting him. He had a good grasp of etiquette. He was obviously a thoughtful person.
people.
Apparently King Gu Ye also discovered the key point during this period and couldn't help but cheer up.
Sure enough, the Ba people were able to thrive in this land of Bashu for so many years, and even occupied Ba County for a time. They were not completely assimilated by the Han people like the Shu people, and they still had some abilities.
