Choose Liu Bei at the start, I am the only one who knows the plot of the Three Kingdoms.

Chapter 471 Miao Moqing, a first-class general as a vessel
After a long time, the patriarch finally opened his thin lips.

"One thousand men, the same as those outside. If the quality is higher, we can make concessions on quantity."

"no problem."

Sun Jian agreed to the clan leader's request without any hesitation, and then said.

"As for the thousand men, I will send someone to deliver them to you as soon as I return. How about that?"

"it is good."

The two of them tacitly did not mention the fate of the 200 people outside, but when Sun Jian and others came out of the big tent, the 200 people had disappeared.

It was already late at night, so Sun Jian did not refuse the clan leader's suggestion to stay overnight. For dinner, there were no exotic delicacies from the mountains or the sea, nor were there any wild delicacies. It was just a home-cooked meal that could not be more ordinary. Even the ingredients for making the meal were the supplies they had just brought.

Sun Jian, who was used to eating good food, had no resistance to this kind of food. Instead, he ate it with relish. Partly because of his mood, and partly because of the company of beautiful women, who were a feast to the eyes.

When it was time for tea and tea after dinner, Sun Jian, who had become familiar with the clan leader, began to ask questions about all kinds of things.

"Chief, I don't even know your name. It's not polite to always call you Chief."

The tribe leader covered her face and smiled, how could she not know Sun Jian's purpose, but she did not care. She did not mind talking more to a person who could provide her tribe with thousands of high-quality utensils at one time. Moreover, from the interactions between Sun Jian and Shi Xie, she had discovered that Shi Xie was controlled by Sun Jian, so the title of lord was only in name only, so she naturally did not mind changing his name to someone else.

"My Lord, you can call me Mo Qing."

"Mo Qing? What a nice name."

Sun Jian didn't react to the change in her address at first. It was not until she finished speaking that he realized what was happening and turned to look at her.

"What did you just call me?"

"My Lord, since you provided the utensils for my Gu tribe, it is not an exaggeration to call you Lord."

Miao Moqing smiled and was not overly surprised by Sun Jian's reaction.

"Hahahahaha, this is a good name, not bad, not bad."

Sun Jian was in a very good mood, and at the same time, he glanced triumphantly at Shi Xie who had an ugly face as if he had eaten a dead fly. Shi Xie was really in a dumb state at the moment, with no way to express his grievances. He never thought that his sudden impulse to trick Sun Jian would actually backfire on himself.

But he knew that although Miao Moqing always called himself the lord, he had never been able to check Miao Moqing's panel. In other words, she was just talking. Shi Xie could still use this to scare Sun Jian, but now, he lost even this title.

"As long as my lord likes it."

Miao Moqing laughed softly, and controlled Sun Jian even more tightly.

The tea party lasted until late at night before Sun Jian and his friends left. When Sun Jian lay down on the bed and wanted to open Miao Moqing's panel, he found that Miao Moqing was not on his list of generals. Sun Jian looked at his adviser again, but there was no Miao Moqing there either. This left Sun Jian puzzled.

However, Sun Jian did not pay too much attention to it and fell into a deep sleep. The next morning, he was awakened by a burst of noisy noise.

"What's going on outside? Why is it so messy?"

Sun Jian asked subconsciously. He and Sun Ce lived in the same room, so this question was naturally directed to Sun Ce. But when he came to his senses and turned around, he suddenly found that Sun Ce was not in the room.

Walking out of the room, Sun Jian followed the sound and saw an unbelievable scene: a man with blood holes all over his body and no good meat on his body was lying on the empty land. There were some witches around him who were picking up objects of various colors scattered everywhere.

Miao Moqing stood aside. Although she was wearing a veil, one could still feel the anger emanating from her. She stood aside and watched coldly as those Gu women cleaned up the mess. The person lying on the ground, or rather, the pool of rotten meat, was already dead.

Standing next to Miao Moqing was none other than Sun Ce who had disappeared into the room. He was also a veteran who had experienced many battles, but seeing this shocking scene, he still felt difficulty breathing. It was a fear that came from the depths of his soul, and it was man's most primitive fear of death.

Before Sun Jian could get closer and take a closer look, Sun Ce hurried over and blocked Sun Jian's way.

"Father, please don't watch it."

Looking at the chaotic scene in the distance, Sun Jian suppressed his curiosity. Since Sun Ce said so, the scene might not be too beautiful.

Sun Jian nodded slightly, and Sun Ce followed Sun Jian and left quickly, because the scene was too cruel. As long as one was still a human being, he would probably not be able to accept that kind of scene.

Miao Moqing naturally also saw Sun Jian, but she did not come over to say anything to Sun Jian. Only after seeing Sun Ce and Sun Jian turn around and leave, she also turned around and directed everyone to clean up the mess.

About an hour later, Miao Moqing reappeared in front of Sun Jian and his group.

"I made you laugh."

Miao Moqing went straight to the point and did not shy away from what happened in the morning.

"I believe you have seen that this is the fate of the vessel, so it is not too late for Sun Zhoumu to cancel the cooperation now. We are still friends."

"You are wrong, Chief. We are here to invite you to come out. No matter what happens, we will not cancel our cooperation. We will leave for the city today. We will deliver the agreed one thousand vessels as soon as we return. Then, the Chief can lead his people to Yangzhou."

Sun Jian stood up immediately, fearing that Miao Moqing would cancel the cooperation because of this, and hurriedly explained. After all, Miao Moqing even changed his address back to Lord, and no longer called him "Lord", but called him "Sunzhou Mu".

"Are you leaving today?"

Miao Moqing said with some surprise.

"Yes, shouldn't we send the utensils to the chief quickly? Is there anything else the chief needs help with?"

"To be honest, my lord, I have one more thing to ask of you."

"Oh? If you have any problem, please tell me. I will definitely help you with all my heart and will never hold anything back."

Sun Jian patted his chest. He had already given 200 men to go out, and now he had figured it out. Since he had already taken this path, he might as well go on. He had already given them all, so what if he gave another 1,000 men? He had already promised to give 1,000 men, so what if he could do a little more and consolidate the relationship between them? Maybe he could also cut off the last connection between her and Shi Xie, and he would take her place in the future. He had no reason to refuse.

"Then thank you in advance, my lord. In addition to the thousand men, we also need a better vessel than theirs. Not only better, but at least similar to the two generals Shi Yi and Shi Wu."

Hearing this, several people were slightly shocked. They were very familiar with Shi Yi and Shi Wu, especially Shi Xie. The two were his subordinates, and he knew their strength best. They were both first-rate generals who were very close to becoming famous generals. Shi Xie had no famous generals under his command, so it could be said that the two represented the ceiling of Shi Xie's combat power.

However, when Miao Moqing opened her mouth, she actually asked for a general of this level to be used as a vessel. If it were the former Shi Xie, he would never agree. But now, the decision-making power is in the hands of Sun Jian, and Shi Xie has no say in it. In just a moment, Shi Xie's heart was in his throat. If Sun Jian did not agree, it would be fine. Once he agreed, he would probably have to give the generals under his command to Miao Moqing.

"Those kinds of generals are very valuable even for the Wentai. I wonder what the clan leader wants them to do? Are they also making utensils?"

Shi Xie hurriedly opened his mouth to ask, fearing that Sun Jian would agree directly, and then Shi Yi and Shi Wu would go to take the blame. Anyway, they were not his people, so he did not feel sorry.

Sun Jian naturally knew what Shi Xie was planning, but his overall combat capability was not yet at the level where he could easily send out a first-rate general. Not only did Shi Xie want to know, he also wanted to know what the purpose of Miao Moqing's coming was.

Miao Moqing's slender fingers gathered the loose hair at her temples, and her eyes completed the shape of crescents. If an uninformed person saw this scene, they would definitely think that this was a stunningly beautiful woman. However, only those who are familiar with her know what kind of person is hidden under her thin veil.

Her voice sounded like a silver bell.

"Yes, my lord, it is also used as a vessel."

"How about I provide 200 more people, adding another 200 to the original number, to replace the one the clan leader needs?"

Sun Jian put forward his own idea and wanted to make an exchange with the other party. For him, a first-class general was still a bit painful. As long as the special troops were developed, he could change his job, but the generals were each given a position, and if the generals were gone, the position would not be filled.

"I'm afraid not."

"why?"

"I dare not deceive you, my lord. The vessel we need this time is to cultivate the Life Gu of the next Gu Clan leader. Ordinary people cannot withstand the strength of this Life Gu and will die the moment it is planted. Only those who are strong enough can serve as the incubator for the Life Gu of the Clan leader."

After hearing this, several people took a deep breath. The life-threatening poison for the next clan leader, one could tell how powerful the poison was just by the name. It would require the physique of a first-rate military commander to be able to withstand it.

After thinking for a long time, Sun Jian suddenly nodded.

"No problem, Chief. I will send that person and the other 1,000 people back. However, it may take a few days."

"Thank you, my lord."

Miao Moqing stood up and slowly bowed to Sun Jian.

"However, I also have a request. I'm sure the clan leader knows that your request is a bit high, so I have to change my request. That is, you must all obey my orders unconditionally and fight to the death for them."

Shi Xie was stunned when he heard such a request. He had cooperated with the Gu Girl before, and even asked her to sacrifice a member of her clan. However, Sun Jian now put forward such a condition, which made him think that Sun Jian was a little crazy.

On the other hand, Miao Moqing neither agreed nor consented. She just looked at Sun Jian quietly, as if waiting for Sun Jian's next words.

"I think the clan leader should know that after you cooperate with us, whether you win or not, you will have a mortal knot with Liu Bei. If we lose, Liu Bei will not let the Gu tribe go. So, I am not asking the Gu tribe to fight to the death, but if they don't fight to the death, they will only die."

Having said that, Sun Jian did not wait for Miao Moqing's answer, but stood up and turned to leave, leaving only a light sentence.

"If the chieftain hadn't refused before I sent someone here, I would have taken it as his consent."

Sun Ce and Shi Xie also stood up and followed Sun Jian out of the room, heading towards the valley at the distant tribal exit.

Shi Xie spoke only after the three of them walked out of the canyon.

"Are you really going to give her a first-rate general?"

Sun Jian glanced at Shi Xie indifferently. He now felt that his previous cooperation with such a stupid person was really a big stain in his life.

"What else? She keeps calling you Lord, don't you know what rank she is? Wouldn't it be inappropriate to exchange her for a first-rate general?"

"Um, I know... I know, I definitely know, it is indeed appropriate, but I just think it is a pity that my subordinates lost a first-class general for no reason."

"Don't worry, I won't force you to send Shi Yi and Shi Wu away."

Sun Jian said somewhat helplessly, and at the same time he achieved his goal, that is, although Miao Moqing had always called Shi Xie "Lord", but like him, neither of them could view Miao Moqing's corresponding attribute panel. According to Sun Jian's speculation, even if Miao Moqing was not a famous general, he was at least at the level of a first-class general.

Now that the cooperation has been reached, the next step is how to completely win her over.

While Sun Jian was thinking hard while hurrying on his way, Shi Xie suddenly spoke again.

"Wait... wait for me a moment, take a break, take a break before you go."

"Oh, if you hadn't played those tricks and sent those 200 people away as vessels, would you still need to walk by yourself now? Hurry up and get up!"

Sun Jian was now not in a good mood towards Shi Xie, and Shi Xie had no choice because his biggest trump card no longer existed. Sun Jian had already established contact with the Gu tribe through him, and he was of no use now. The reason why Sun Jian still kept him was simply because Sun Jian did not want to break his oath.

Shi Xie knew he was in the wrong, so he didn't say anything more. He gritted his teeth, supported his legs which had become as stiff as a sieve, and kept up with the pace of Sun Jian and Sun Ce. Even though Sun Jian had the physique of a military general, it was still difficult for him to walk. After a while, when he could no longer hold on, he finally stopped to rest.

At this moment, Shi Xie's lips were pale, his eyes were dull, and he was so tired that he looked like a ghost. He was just trying hard to keep up his breath and follow them. Shi Xie lay directly on a large bluestone beside him, gasping for breath like an old dog.

"Father, where can we get a first-rate general to send to us?"

Sun Ce asked with some worry. They were short of manpower now. Even Shi Yi and Shi Wu under Shi Xie could not be sent out casually at the moment. They all had their own uses.

"The barbarians in Yizhou have been making a lot of trouble recently. Go there and capture a top-notch barbarian general. We don't have any extra ones to give them."
