National color raw owl

Hou Jingang and the others couldn't help frowning when they heard what Ming Ji said so bluntly, but Chu Huan laughed out loud and asked, "General Ming thinks that the state of Qin is about to collapse?"

"Chu Du, you summoned us here today, and deliberately let us hear Zhu Lingyue's words, of course it is not for nothing..." Ming Ji said lightly: "Chu Du can easily take us away with just one warrant. Why did you call us here? Mercy does not command soldiers, Chu Du is a feudal official who commands tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. I don't believe that you are a benevolent person, but I also don't believe that Chu Du just wants to make peace with you. We just had a few drinks."

"Oh?" Chu Huan said with a smile: "What does General Ming think is the purpose of this governor?"

"Although the Tianshan Army was completely defeated in the Battle of the Racecourse, it does not mean that the Tianshan Army is incompetent." Ming Ji stared into Chu Huan's eyes, "Zhu Lingyue has spent countless efforts training the elite Tianshan Army, whether it is Tianshan infantry or Tianshan cavalry , as long as time is given, they are all elite soldiers on the battlefield." Glancing at Hou Jingang, he said slowly: "The Tianshan cavalry trained by General Hou is by no means a mob. Of course Governor Chu is very clear about this."

Ming Ji has always been taciturn, and it is difficult to even say a few words to others, let alone comment on others, but now he praises Hou Jingang for his military training. If it were someone else, he would not care, but These words came from the mouth of the always low-key Ming Ji, but it still made Hou Jingang feel very comfortable. Hou Jingang had always disliked infantry generals, but at this moment he felt comfortable with Ming Ji.

Chu Huan nodded and said: "What General Ming said is very true. The governor has never underestimated the Tianshan Army, and Tianshan is well-trained, whether it is infantry or cavalry. An elite teacher."

Ming Ji continued: "The governor of Chu is now powerful in the northwest. Once we are defeated in Tianshan, the governor of Chu will be proud of the west, and there is no one to fight against him. However, the governor of Chu must not be willing to disband the Tianshan army."

Chu Huan laughed and rubbed his chin. Ming Ji's words today were beyond Chu Huan's expectation. He asked with great interest, "General Ming thinks that the governor should keep the Tianshan Army?"

Ming Ji asked back: "Don't you think that the governor of Chu didn't want to? Looking at the Central Plains, there is really a powerful cavalry army. Except for the Liaodong Chiliandian, there is no second cavalry army that can beat the Tianshan cavalry. This defeat, in my opinion, Defeat without a fight!"

Gu Liangchen couldn't help nodding his head at this time and said: "That's right, if it wasn't for Marquis Gan...!" He smiled coldly, but he was obviously not convinced by the defeat at the horse farm, and said directly: "If you really want to talk about it, looking at the world, there is indeed only Liaodong Iron cavalry can compete with my Tianshan cavalry."

"If Governor Chu didn't want to have a powerful cavalry army, he wouldn't trade salt horses with Xiliang people to expand his horses." Ming Ji said: "In the battle at the racecourse, Governor Chu won a complete victory. Becoming Chu Du's pocket, but even if there are tens of thousands of horses, if there are no cavalry who are good at fighting on horseback, how can they have a powerful cavalry army? Chu Du has already started to form a cavalry army in Xiguan, so he naturally understands that he wants to train Cavalry is by no means a one-time thing, but for Chu Du, since he wants to quell the bandit chaos, he has to raise troops again at any time, so he doesn't have much time to train cavalry."

Chu Huan said with a smile: "General Ming hit the nail on the head. Since you are so magnanimous, the governor can't be flickering. Yes, the governor has indeed ordered that if the original cavalry in Tianshan Mountain is willing to stay, the governor can exempt his family members from corvee service, and Tax reduction and exemption...!" Looking at Hou Jingang, he said seriously: "The Tianshan cavalry trained by General Hou are already very qualified cavalry, and the governor really does not want to see such a cavalry regiment disbanded."

Hou Jingang listened to Chu Huan's praise in the same way, and his expression became more relaxed, saying: "Hou has lived on horses since he was a child, and knows horse nature, so training is much easier."

Sun Can remained silent all this time, and finally asked at this moment: "General Ming, what do you want to say when you say these things?"

Ming Ji didn't look at Sun Can, but still stared at Chu Huan: "Sun Can, don't you understand that Chu Du set up this banquet, of course not to kill us, if I'm not wrong, Chu Du wants us Stay in the ranks." After a pause, he smiled lightly: "Chu Du can easily organize the Tianshan Army under his command, but it is not something that can be done overnight if we want to subdue their hearts. If we come forward, of course It is easy to make them serve Chudu."

"Stay in the army?" Sun Can glanced at Chu Huan, "Could it be possible that we stay and serve Chu Huan? Ming Ji, don't forget that the battle at the racecourse left corpses everywhere, so many of our brothers died In his hands. And we were all pulled out by Du Du with one hand. Could it be that because Du Du was defeated and Chu Huan won, should we immediately change our faces and bow to Chu Huan? You can do it, but I can’t."

He was originally Ming Ji's subordinate, and now he called Ming Ji by his first name, obviously he was very dissatisfied with Ming Ji.

Chu Huan remained calm, Gu Liangchen and Hou Jingang glanced at each other, frowned slightly, but Ming Ji was unmoved, and said indifferently: "Sun Can, it stands to reason that you are a general of Qin, not Zhu Lingyue, why? Do you want to follow Zhu Lingyue in the army? Is it for the glory and wealth?"

Sun Can said sharply: "In the Ming Dynasty, scholars can be killed but not humiliated. I followed Zhu Du to fight the world because of the tyranny of Qin State. I don't like it. I want to help Zhu Du destroy Qin State and bring peace to the world. What is the glory and wealth? , I really didn’t pay attention to it.”

"That's right." Ming Ji said in a deep voice, "I am very clear about your character, Sun Can. Everyone wants to follow Zhu Lingyue to do something big. The Qin State is tyrannical. If we continue to serve the Qin State, we will be helping the evil. People from Xiliang When we called, we saw our compatriots in the Northwest being ravaged by the iron cavalry of Xiliang. What is the reason? Isn’t it because the emperor is stupid and the national power is declining, which makes the people of Xiliang have ambitions? We are all men in the Northwest, and we stand up. Standing seven feet tall, watching your compatriots being destroyed, but feeling indifferent in your heart?"

Both Hou Jingang and Gu Liangchen couldn't help showing anger at this moment.

Chu Huan knew that these people were all military generals, and they were authentic Northwest men with straightforward temperaments. If they were literati present, they would never speak so bluntly, but the more they were like this, the more comfortable Chu Huan felt. He likes to be straightforward, and he prefers a straightforward temperament.

"I know what everyone thinks in their hearts. In order to avoid repeating the same mistakes, the stupid Qin country can no longer stay." Ming Ji said coldly: "So we all know Zhu Lingyue's thoughts, and we are willing to go through life and death with him. Big deal." Looking at Chu Huan, he asked, "Chu Du, the decisive battle at the racecourse, do you know what it means to me?"

Chu Huan said solemnly: "Please enlighten General Ming!"

"It's just a battle between dragons and tigers, fighting for a spoil." Ming Ji said slowly: "The so-called spoils are the qualifications to command the Northwest and compete in the Central Plains!"

Chu Huan was stunned, and Ming Ji had already said: "Now that Governor Chu wins, you are qualified to lead the people in the Northwest to fight for supremacy in the world... I didn't mean to be loyal to you by saying this, but just to tell you that this battle In the civil war in the Northwest, countless children from the Northwest were killed and wounded. Since Governor Chu got the spoils of war, I hope that Governor Chu will be worthy of those soldiers who spilled blood on the battlefield." At this point, Ming Ji stood up suddenly, bowed his hands to Chu Huan, and said: "Chu Huan If the governor thinks that Ming Ji's words are rebellious, he can label Ming Ji as a traitor and take him to the execution ground at any time. If he really wants to save Ming Ji's life, Ming Ji still has dozens of acres of Susukida in his hometown. I am half a hundred people, but I have an old bone Farming even lower is enough to end the rest of your life." Turning around, he walked straight to the gate and said loudly, "Take me back to the cell!"

"Wait a minute, General Ming!" Chu Huan stood up, "Since the general has the world at heart, why did he leave like this?"

Ming Ji didn't look back, but said: "Ming Ji doesn't understand cavalry, and it's useless to stay there, but General Hou and General Gu are both cavalry generals. If they are willing to do something big, Governor Chu can show them off." With the opportunity of skill, I think they will be able to disobey Chu Du's expectations, and maybe they will be famous in history."

Hou Jingang and Gu Liangchen looked at each other, but saw that Chu Huan had already walked into the room, and suddenly knelt down on one knee towards Ming Ji's back. Surprised, he hurried over and helped him up, "Chu Du, you... what are you doing?"

"The old general's heartfelt words are deafening." Chu Huan sighed: "Chu Huan has little talent and learning. Compared with Zhu Lingyue, he at least has great ambitions and few talents, but I have no ambitions. Today the world is chaotic, people are displaced, and thieves are everywhere. Although I I have no big ambitions, but I also hope that the world will be stable and the people will be peaceful, and I only hope that the old general can help me."

Ming Ji helped Chu Huan up, and said with a wry smile: "Why is Governor Chu like this? There are so many talents in the Northwest, and Governor Chu can find many talented people who are worthy of great positions. His ability is not worthy of Chu Du's attention."

"Old general, don't say that." Chu Huan arched his hands, turned around and bowed deeply to Hou Jingang and the others, and said sincerely: "Generals, the world is in turmoil, and Chu Huan is weak. He wants to do something for the people. But the ability is mediocre, beyond the reach of one's strength, as the saying goes, three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang, Chu Huan, a cobbler, sincerely ask all the generals to help you and work together for the common people!"

Hou Jingang and the others were the generals of the defeated army, and they may be sent to the execution ground at any time, their families will be ruined and their families will be destroyed. They never expected that Chu Huan would be so open-minded, and would even use him. This is really unexpected. Hou Jingang and Gu Liangchen have already stood up , also cupped their hands, looked at each other, but didn't know what to say.

Suddenly, Sun Can burst out laughing, and when everyone looked over, they heard Sun Can sneer and say, "It's hypocrisy, Hou Jingang, you've changed really fast, but I can tell you, this young man in front of you is cunning and cunning. Now, in order to control the Tianshan Army, that's why he is so polite to you and wants to use you, and when the Tianshan Army is completely controlled by him, it will be time to settle accounts after crossing the river and tearing down the bridge."
