At the beginning, Emperor Yang of Sui was kidnapped

Chapter 44 No one understands you better than me
Wanmin City Campus.

Qin Shubao stared blankly at the ten soldiers in front of him, as well as the eloquent "Master" in front of him.

This is the second day he was brought to Manmin City.

When he first came to Wanmin City, he was shocked by this city in the deep mountains and old forests.

The towering city wall is twice the size of Yangcheng!
Like Lao Yang and others, his first impression was that the city had been built for at least ten years before it could reach this scale.

Then he was taken to the school grounds for custody. Before being detained, he saw [-] troops training in the school grounds.

The army is neat and orderly, especially the armor of this group of troops, which seems familiar to him.

When attacking the city wall of Yangcheng, the armor and weapons worn by the defenders all showed that they came from here.

"This group of people is definitely not the Sui army!"

Qin Shubao made a judgment at that time.

The official army of the Sui Dynasty would never build a city in the deep mountains and old forests.

His first reaction was to meet his peers.

This city of peoples is an anti-city!
What they want to attack is not the city of Da Sui, but the city occupied by the rebels.

"Old Qin, how about it? Have you considered it? Rebelling against Li Mi is rebelling, and rebelling here is also rebelling, and the treatment must be better than his."

Hearing Xu Mu's words beside him, Qin Shubao came back to his senses. Xu Mu brought him to Wanmin City yesterday, and then left him alone.

Until this morning, just after dawn, I took him to the school grounds to watch these soldiers practice.

He also brought ten soldiers to him, but he didn't know what he wanted to do.

Before Qin Shubao could figure out how to answer, he heard Xu Mu continue to say: "Li Mi is a person who can share adversity, but not wealth, and is not a good person. Why don't you come to me? Look at this city of thousands of people, where all wastes are prosperous. A good city with good mountains and rivers is better, what do you think?"

Qin Shubao was taken aback for a moment, and gradually understood what Xu Mu meant.

It turned out that they wanted to recruit him.

Clutching his left shoulder, Qin Shubao couldn't help asking: "Which force are you from? The rebels in Henan have already surrendered to our Wagang, most of Henan County is occupied by our Wagang, and the rest of the city is owned by the Sui army. You... What the hell are you doing?" Where is it... the rebel army?"

This is what Qin Shubao is most confused about now.

Since the death of Zhang Gong, the Wagang Army has been in full swing, occupying most of the territory of Henan County.

Rebels, big and small, took refuge one after another, but a group of rebels emerged from the Yangcheng Xiaoguo Army's sphere of influence...

Hearing Qin Shubao's rhetorical question, the corners of Xu Mu's mouth curled up, and he pretended to be mysterious and said: "Our army descended from the sky and is everywhere, and Yangcheng is already owned by our army. It is impossible for the Wagang army to capture it in this lifetime!"

"On the contrary, it's you, Old Qin, who knows the current affairs is a hero, and what we did in Wanmin City is also a major event of rebellion, where rebellion is not rebellion?"

Qin Shubao pursed his pale lips, neither refusing nor agreeing.

Seeing this, Xu Mu's eyes lit up, and he didn't directly refuse, which meant there was something going on.

As long as there is a chance, he can fool Qin Shubao into a limp.

"Old Qin, how about this, let's put the job-hopping aside for now, let's talk about life aspirations and future plans." Xu Mu patted him on the shoulder and decided to persuade him to surrender in another way.

Hearing Xu Mu's words, Qin Shubao was a little confused, especially the word job-hopping, which he had never heard of, but he could barely understand life aspirations.

"You joined the army when you were young. You have been in battle for a long time. You have successively served as guardian, Zhang Xutuo, Pei Renji, and Li Mi under the command of four people. If you are fierce, you will be fierce. I don't know what plans you have for the future?"

Xu Mu looked at him, his eyes were as black as ink, and Qin Shubao was taken aback by what he said.

He had never thought of these things. If he really wanted to say that there was, it would only be...

Thinking of this, Qin Shubao's lips moved slightly, and he said softly: "A certain person wants to charge into the battle, and use his military achievements to become the Duke of the country!"

Xu Mu nodded slightly. In later generations, Qin Shubao actually did it.

Later, when the Tang Dynasty was established, Qin Shubao made countless contributions, and his official position was the general of Youwuwei, and he was named the Duke of Yiguo.

I have to say that I am ambitious and a winner in life.

But Xu Mu obviously wouldn't let him go so easily, he shook his head and said, "This is just the purpose, not the process, life is like a journey against the road, you and I are both pedestrians, the goal is easy to find, but the original intention is hard to keep, for example, you want to seal the country Gong, enjoy the glory and wealth, but this is not what makes you really happy, what makes you happy is always the process, not the goal."

Xu Mu flickered down for a while, Qin Shubao nodded with a half-understood understanding.

The people in the entire Wanmin City were all fooled by Xu Mu, and Xu Mu is already very familiar with this process.

To sum it up in one sentence, talk to people when you see people, talk to ghosts when you see ghosts.

It doesn't work to meet people, talk about life and ideals with them, but talk about food and food and clothing with them.

When meeting someone like Qin Shubao, what you want to talk about is ambition, aspirations, and ideals in life...

After a pause, Xu Mu saw that Qin Shubao was moved, and continued to flicker: "Think about it carefully, what made you take up this job...cough cough, let you stay in the army, charge and fight, and protect the people here. Son, work for Zhang Xutuo, Pei Renji, and Li Mi?"

In history, Qin Shubao served six different leaders. After Li Mi was defeated, he surrendered to Wang Shichong, and then he surrendered to Li Yuan...

It can be said that the representative of a typical professional soldier.

After submitting, they were extremely loyal and flawless.

Under each term, he did his best, charged forward, and never fell behind. Some people even described him as a mercenary in later generations.

After being told by Xu Mu, Qin Shubao couldn't help thinking about it.

Yes, he has been tossed and turned many times and played for so many coaches. What is the reason for?
Is it for the kindness of knowing you?Obviously not.

Is it for gaining fame?Obviously not, his promotion over the years has not been fast.

Xu Mu's words opened a hole in his heart, causing Qin Shubao to fall into deep thought.

Seeing Qin Shubao's expression, Xu Mu couldn't help grinning, and continued to add anger: "Old Qin, this is because of the innate military spirit in your bones. Think about it carefully, is there a kind of war on the battlefield? The feeling of blood rushing?"

Qin Shubao showed a look of astonishment, but after thinking about it carefully, he nodded.

"In the army, do you feel extremely at ease?" Xu Mu continued to ask.

Qin Shubao was silent and nodded again.

"Do you feel uncomfortable when you take off your armor?" Xu Mu asked repeatedly.

Qin Shubao looked at Xu Mu, recalled his thoughts over the years, and found that what Xu Mu said was correct.

Xu Mu was like a roundworm in his stomach, expressing his true feelings.

"Old Qin, I bet there is no one in the world who understands you better than me!" Xu Mu showed a look of pride, pointing to the school grounds and Wanmin City and said, "There is no place in the whole world that is more suitable for you than Wanmin City!" !Here, you can completely realize your life ambition of fighting on the battlefield..."

Xu Mu's series of persuasion finally shook Qin Shubao and made him fall into deep thought.

Especially the "lord" in front of him, who really knows himself so well.

Qin Shubao suddenly had the urge to die for his confidant.

In fact, he knew well that whether it was Lai Hu'er, Zhang Xutuo, Pei Renji or Li Mi, all they valued was his body... Ahem, his bravery.

But Xu Mu is not, Xu Mu really understands him.

He was also the first person to talk to him about his ideals and ambitions in life.

Since then, he has never confided in anyone his ambition to be a prince.

But this person didn't laugh at him, but talked with him about his life ambitions.

"Old Qin, only in Wanmin City, where you really understand you, can you realize your life aspirations. You are just the Duke of the state. These are not things. In the future, Wanmin City will conquer the world, and you will be the Duke of Qin!"

After talking about his ideals and expressing his heart, Xu Mu began to move on to the next step, painting a big cake.

He even prepared the title of Qin Wang Li Shimin for Lao Qin in advance.

Hearing this promise, Qin Shubao's tense body couldn't bear it anymore, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he couldn't help kowtowing to Xu Mu: "My lord, Qin is willing to surrender!"

Since being captured for a day, he has thought about his fate countless times.

It was also anticipated that he might be recruited and surrendered.

But he never expected that the lord hidden in the city deep in the mountains would know him so well!
"The ancients said that a scholar dies for his confidant. I never thought that in the world besides my mother, there are people who understand me like the lord..." Qin Shubao, a man of eight feet, couldn't help but burst into tears.

Seeing this, Xu Mu quickly helped him up, and touched his nose in embarrassment.

In fact, if necessary, he can understand anyone in the world.

Moreover, the people of this era... have not been baptized by the various routines of later generations, they are extremely simple, full of emotions, and they tend to cry easily.

Helping Qin Shubao up, Xu Mu took his hand and said, "Okay, you should take care of your injuries first. After your injuries are healed, my lord has a very important task for you, and it's up to you!"

Qin Shubao nodded solemnly, expressing that he would definitely handle the errands assigned by the master.

"This..." After accepting the task, Qin Shubao began to twitch.

Xu Mu noticed that there was something else in Qin Shubao's expression, he was hesitant to speak, and couldn't help frowning: "Old Qin has something to say, it doesn't matter."

After getting permission, Qin Shubao gritted his teeth and said: "This...the general has an unfeeling request. On the tower of Yangcheng, there is a man who doesn't talk about martial arts and sneaks up on him secretly. It's really hateful. I don't know who this person is? In the end, I will have a duel with him to vent my hatred!"

Xu Mu's expression was strange for a while, and he couldn't help but think of Lao Zhang.

This old Zhang... probably dare not accept the challenge, right?

After all, they are all old men in their 50s, while Qin Shubao is only in his 40s, and he is in his prime, when he is brave.

Thinking of this, Xu Mu couldn't help but cover up and said: "This person has died in battle on the tower. He was killed by the Wagang Army led by you at that time. That arrow was also the last arrow he shot..."

In order to alleviate the conflicts among his subordinates, mainly because he was afraid that Lao Zhang would be beaten to death, Xu Mu felt that he really broke his heart.

There is no other way but to come to a death without proof.

I just wronged Lao Zhang and was killed in battle just like that...
