Overlord's Road to Ancient Emperors

In the barracks, Jiang Qiuming and the other lieutenants were there, but Jia Ping was isolated by them. In the huge conference hall, Kou Xiao sat with a straight face, patted the table and asked, "Do you think life is too good or too good?" Are you too full? Haven’t played enough a few days ago and still want to fight with your own people?”

No wonder Kou Xiao was angry, he didn't want to come to the barracks today, it's rare to have a good relationship with Li Xu, early in the morning is the time of tenderness, and he should wait for the other party to open his eyes before sending him his warm embrace, but he didn't wait until Li Xu woke up , But when the people in the barracks came, they said that there was a commotion in the barracks early in the morning, and the number of participants was tens of thousands.

It's not bad, don't we have to bomb the camp?So he had no choice but to leave Li Xu and rush to the barracks, and then saw tens of thousands of Kou's troops confronting the navy led by Jia Ping.

"Tell me, what is the reason for the trouble?" Kou Xiao pointed to Jiang Qiuming and asked him to speak.

Junshi Jiang covered his face with a fan, and replied shyly: "General, this subordinate really doesn't know about this matter, why don't you ask others."

Kou Xiao used his toes to figure out the role he played in it, but he didn't make things difficult for him, and called Guo Fu by name, staring at him with sharp and menacing eyes.

Deputy General Guo's scalp was numb, and he had to answer honestly: "Return to the general, the thing is like this, isn't it necessary to count the credits and losses today? As a result, I heard from the navy that the victory this time was all due to their delay." Wushao Island Master’s team, otherwise, where would we have the time to deploy and conquer the sheltered island? People on our side will not be happy after hearing this, saying that the navy is just making up numbers, with a large number of people and ships, it is not easy to hold back the enemy of it?

On the other hand, it is even more difficult for us to try to take the shelter island, and we also wiped out the group of young island owners in the end. How much credit can the navy have?The two sides just started arguing like this, and the quarreling and arguing became big. "

Kou Xiao gritted his teeth and looked at him, and asked coldly: "Then did you lose the quarrel or the fight?"

Guo Fu immediately retorted: "How is it possible? We have more people than them and more experience than them. How can we lose? It's because they started playing tricks when they lost, accusing us of bullying the few."

"Then how many of you bully others?"

"That's it... We have a lot of people." Guo Fu said unconvinced: "They have the ability to recruit [-] sailors."

Kou Xiao smiled angrily, and pointed at him, "Do you think their number will stop at 2? Don't you know how much the prince values ​​navy? The 2 is just the beginning, just wait and see. In the future, the South Vietnamese navy will definitely scare the enemy."

Zhao Gang heard the words and said disapprovingly: "General, you are trying to destroy your own prestige by aspiring others. Their navy can expand, but our Kou army can't? If the prince pays attention to one thing and loses the other, our general Kou is not as good as..." He didn't say anything. , but everyone understands.

Kou Xiao smashed a pen and went over, "Go and copy the General's Regulations a hundred times, and you won't be allowed to eat until you finish copying."

"General!" Guo Fu stood up and wanted to intercede for Zhao Gang, but Kou Xiao gave him a cold stare, and immediately sat down without any momentum.

Zhao Gang knew Kou Xiao's uncompromising character, the more he resisted, the more serious the consequences, so he took his pen and left immediately.

Kou Xiao glanced at the people present. Since the expansion of Kou's army to 5 people, he has promoted several lieutenants. Looking at these people now, he feels that the problem is a bit serious. After the military salary was sufficient, the minds of his subordinates also floated.

"Let's talk about the loss first." He looked at Jiang Qiuming, who looked up, and immediately took out a piece of paper and handed it to him, with a look of surprise on his face, "It's really unbelievable, the number of casualties on our side At [-], nearly [-] enemies were killed, this ratio of casualties is simply a miracle."

"Then do you know how this miracle was created?" Kou Xiao didn't have a smile on his face, he glanced around and randomly selected someone to answer his question.

The man stood up tremblingly, afraid of following in the footsteps of Vice General Zhao, and replied politely: "General Kou has a good leader, and the Kou family's army is brave and invincible."

"Oh! Idiot!" Kou Xiao didn't bother to talk to him, and re-appointed someone to answer the question.

The man was smarter and said: "First of all, we were fully prepared, and we all said that we would not fight unprepared battles. This time we mentioned that we got the news, made sufficient preparations, and walked ahead of the enemy every step of the way. Chao Qun used tricks to disrupt the island and let us take advantage of the loopholes. Secondly, the navy also contributed, if they hadn't held Wu Yun for more than a month, we would not have won so easily."

"Then tell me, who is responsible for all this?"

Everyone looks at me and I look at you, and I have to admit that all this is due to King Shun. Without him, there would be no navy, no ships, and no fifty thousand Kou family troops.

"If it weren't for the lord's hard work and preparations this year, what do you think will be the result of the attack on the shelter island? Can the eight thousand Kou family troops win?"

Everyone lowered their heads and thought: That's what I said, but the prince has also built a navy, and the navy is not under their control. Isn't this a blatant decentralization of power?

Everyone respects King Shun from the bottom of their hearts, but one thing to say, they are not disloyal to King Shun.

"Don't compare blindly in your heart. It's not that difficult to admit the credit of others. Similarly, the general will fight for all the credit that belongs to you. Moreover, the navy is named as a family under the Kou family army. You can fight for it." You can fight, you can fight, but if this general hears any bad remarks, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Seeing their annoyed looks, Kou Xiao asked someone to pass on Jia Pinglai, and at the same time told his subordinates, "Be polite to Vice Admiral Jia. His talent and learning are above yours. If you want to challenge his authority, wait for yourself." Let’s talk about the skills, even if you want to fight for power, this general can help you, but if someone dares to split, he will be dealt with by military law!”

Jia Ping came very quickly. After entering, he gave a military salute to Kou Xiao, and then took the initiative to admit his mistake, "The previous thing was that the subordinates did not teach well, and the leaders have been dealt with strictly according to the military law. Please forgive them this time. reckless behavior."

Kou Xiao invited him to take a seat, waved his hand and said: "Let's not mention this matter for now, everyone is working so hard just to get some credit. It's normal to have thoughts in your heart. It's just a good day to discuss how to calculate the credit this time."

They usually count their military merits by the number of enemies killed, but this time they must consider other factors, otherwise the navy who held Wu Yun's hands and feet would be at a disadvantage, not to mention the [-] Kou family troops led by Cao Ji and the navy, it is indeed very difficult. It's hard to tell the difference between you and me.

This discussion lasted a whole day, and even lunch was used in the conference hall. When Kou Xiao realized that he hadn't gone home all day, it was already dark outside.

He stood up with a "whoosh" and gestured to stop everyone's discussion, "Come here first today, and discuss it tomorrow."

Everyone disagreed, "General, this matter is of great importance. We can discuss it overnight and come up with a result. The soldiers below are still looking forward to it."

"Yeah, it's just that we don't get tired after sitting for a day. Everyone has the reward in mind, and it's not a problem to stay up for a few days and nights."

Even Jia Ping nodded supportively, "General, don't worry too much, I will discuss it calmly later, and there will be no more noise."

Kou Xiao rolled his eyes helplessly, "Continue to discuss if you want to. If there is a result, send someone to inform the general. You don't care about your family. The general has to go home for the night. After the battle is over, you still care about this day or two. ?"

The lieutenants were very surprised. In the past, every time they came back from a battle, the most active person was the general. Of course, at that time, General Kou was in the barracks day and night, and he seldom returned home. It was commonplace to stay up late to deal with official documents. Why is it so expensive now?

Jiang Qiuming dug his ears. General Kou just said the words "go home for the night". It must have been a wonderful night.

Jiang Qiuming thought up a series of family ethics dramas, and was the first to stand up to support him: "The general said it is very true. It is the same for me to discuss these matters and come up with a charter before I show you. Your time is precious. It is necessary to waste on these trivial matters, if the subordinates discuss tonight and come up with a result, they will send someone to inform you as soon as possible."

Kou Xiao nodded and left. As soon as he got out of the barracks, he hurried back to the palace. Fortunately, the barracks is very close to the palace, and he will be there in a while.

As soon as he entered the door, he bumped into more than a dozen officials from the Sheriff's Mansion face to face. It's not a secret that Kou Xiao lived in the palace, but everyone didn't know that he would come back every day, thinking that he was just staying here occasionally.

"General Kou is back, do you have dinner yet?" Liu Shu bowed his waist and stepped forward to greet him. No matter whether he likes it or not, Kou Xiao is now the second owner of this mansion.

"Never, I want to come back to have dinner with the prince, where is the prince?" He asked the kneeling civil servants to get up, and walked past them without turning their eyes.

Liu Shu appointed a servant to take the civil servant out, followed Kou Xiao himself, and said: "My lord just used it with a few adults. Seeing that you haven't come back so late, I asked the kitchen to leave food for you, but look at it, my servant." Seeing that the prince didn’t use much for dinner, maybe we can use some together.”

"Where are the others?"

"Still in the meeting room in the front yard, Mr. Ji hasn't left yet." Liu Shu sighed in his heart: Mr. Ji is so knowledgeable and reasonable. If the person the prince likes is Mr. Ji, there is nothing wrong with it.

Kou Xiao frowned, and went straight to the conference hall. When he entered the door, he found that the lights inside were bright as day, and Li Xu and Ji Hanyu were discussing something head-to-head.

Liu Shuqian coughed twice, indicating that those two people were coming. Li Xu looked up, but he only took a glance and continued talking to Ji Hanyu, as if he regarded Kou Xiao as a transparent person.

Kou Xiao rubbed his nose, knowing that he was at fault first, after all the tossing around last night, but no one was seen all day today, no one would be happy, he sat aside and asked Liu Shu to bring the dinner here, while waiting Li Xu was eating dinner.

Li Xu occasionally looked up to see him eating heavily, and his mood subtly improved. Both of them are busy, and they really don't have much time to be together, but as long as they know that the other party is thinking about him, they seem to be less angry.

He and Ji Hanyu are discussing how to resettle the people on Shelter Island and the collapsed gold mine. They have already discussed the result of the former issue, but the latter is a secret and cannot be revealed for the time being. He can only discuss it with Ji Hanyu in private. discuss.

After Kou Xiao finished eating, he called someone over and asked, "You should have visited that gold mine, what happened?"

Kou Xiao glanced at Ji Hanyu, seeing that he was wearing a crimson official uniform, an official hat, his hair was neatly arranged, and his face was like a jade crown. Anyone who saw him would praise him: what a handsome young man facing the wind.

And Li Xu was also dressed in brocade robes and a jade crown. His pretty face seemed to be shining, making people unable to move their eyes away after just one glance. The two had similar auras, and it was refreshing to stand together, but Kou Xiao But it looked very unsightly.

He squeezed between the two, put one hand on the back of Li Xu's chair, and replied: "That gold mine should have been mined for many years, and I don't know how much stock is left. The block has collapsed, and the general has already arranged for miners to dig, and you can arrange for people to go to the island to take over the mine and continue mining."

Li Xu nodded, and checked out a candidate in his mind. Shelter Island is far away. The person who takes over the mine must not only be loyal, but also have the ability to stay calm in times of crisis, otherwise he will not be able to take care of it, and there will be no time to deal with the aftermath if something happens.

"Do you have a suitable candidate?"

Kou Xiao thought about it for a while, and recommended someone, "The general thinks that the former Guanshi Jin on the island is very good, calm and capable, and doesn't panic when things happen, but he may not be loyal to Nanyue."

"Is anyone else still on the island?"

"Yes."

Li Xu got up and took a few steps, then turned around and said to the two of them, "I want to go to the shelter island, and I will make a decision after the on-site inspection."

"My lord, you can't!" Ji Hanyu retorted without even thinking about it, "You are a king, and you can't leave Nanyue without a transfer order. If the court finds out, this crime can be big or small."

Kou Xiao didn't think there was any big problem, "Now Shelter Island is also a part of South Vietnam, it's not a big deal for the prince to go, but just to be on the safe side, the prince should pay a private visit, as no one can say whether there are any leftovers on Shelter Island." rebel."

Ji Hanyu looked at him disapprovingly, "General Kou, you know this is very dangerous, how can you put the prince in danger?"

"Scholars are timid. Since the prince wants to go, he can go. Now the shelter island is under our control. If even the prince can't protect him, the Kou family army will kill themselves collectively!"

"You are making too much sense."

"I think you are pedantic."

"If the court blames it, General Kou can't afford it."

"Then don't let them know."

"There is no wall that does not leak in the world."

"Build a wall that doesn't leak if you don't have one."

The two of you were arguing with each other with red faces, and it took a while to hear a cough, and then Manager Liu said with a smile: "Have you two finished talking? Why don't you go back to rest after talking, it's getting late."

The two of them looked at the empty conference hall, where there was no shadow of Li Xu, and they didn't know when they left, so they lost the mood of arguing.

Kou Xiao made a "please" gesture, and said with a smirk: "Master Ji, please, this general will not send you out."

Ji Hanyu frowned, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. He lowered his voice and reminded: "General Kou, this is the palace of the king, not the mansion of Kou. I hope you will remember!"

"Yes, General Ben remembers it very clearly, but what does it matter, after all, I am the one who lives here now."
