"Where is he free, he beat Hu Leifan to pieces, and now he is chasing after the victory, and when Hu Leifan and the bandits from Jinzhoubei are taken in, they will come naturally—in fact, if he fights with you in the Western Regions, it will be better than that." The former Qianyuan army from the south is more handy." Zhuang Qi is very calm, very simple, but very sincere, even if such provocative words are spoken by him, he does not feel provocative, but like persuasive advice.

Hu Shuo immediately laughed: "Could it be that Chi Heng has arranged all the things that don't make sense?"

"You don't want to take tens of thousands of soldiers across the states in the Western Regions?"

"Of course I want to, I dream about it, but it's not in the Qianyuan Army, but leading the soldiers of the Hu family across the extreme frontier. Zhuang Qi, are you a lobbyist sent by him? Just say that he can really come to our Hu family Drink tea with me!" Hu Shuo smiled brightly.

Zhuang Qi pondered slightly: "What if you weren't born in the Hu family?"

"what?"

"If you are like me, alone, empty-handed, let you choose: one is to live in half of Jinzhou and become the overlord, and the other is the leader of the three armies, Chengbian Quanyuanxi, which one would you choose? If I remember correctly In other words, before this, you Hu clan and Hu Leifan were fighting for territory, if you didn't join forces with Sizhou Mahang, it would have been very difficult to win or lose."

This is the truth, but the truth doesn't sound good, not to mention that Zhuang Qi said it so bluntly.

Hu Shuo's face suddenly became ugly: "No matter how small the bully is, he is still the bully, why should I stay under the hands of others and suffer?"

Seeing the conversation collapse, Zhuang Qi showed embarrassment.

Hu Shuo's tone slowed down, and he suddenly took Zhuang Qi's hand and said, "I know your kindness, but I can't throw away all the Hu family's ancestral property, so don't get involved. Zhuang Qi, when I was in Sizhou the year before last, , I really want to bring you back to Jinzhou, but you refuse. Now, I think you... why don't you follow me, Jinzhou is small, and it is more than enough to build another Purple Star Terrace."

Zhuang Qi twitched his hand, but Hu Shuo didn't let go, and the scene was very awkward for a while.

"Zhuang Qi, don't worry, I have no unreasonable thoughts. If you really don't want to, I won't force you. But, why do you stay in the Qianyuan Army? Lotus flowers bloom in water, and Populus euphratica grows in sand Yes, a person like you shouldn't be covered in blood. If I were Chi Heng, I would definitely not let you out of the house, and I would never let you be in any danger. Chi Heng is no longer the Chi Heng he used to be. There are more cities and more ruthlessness, will you be wronged in his hands?"

Zhuang Qi smiled: "Where do you follow?"

Hu Shuo let go of his hand depressed: "I really don't know why you like him! Is he really so nice?"

Zhuang Qi was embarrassed, and his eyes wandered: "Is it so obvious? If you stay with him for a long time, you will also like him. He is very good, he is moral to his friends, dedicated to his lover, and he is not stingy in teaching his subordinates. The most important thing is: He has the foresight and means to keep these people in the Qianyuan Army. If you come to the Qianyuan Army, you will know that there is a sky beyond the sky, and you will suddenly see the light!"

"...Your compliments are really good."

The waiter came with grapes.

The purple grapes produced in Jinzhou are large, heavy in color and extremely sweet.Zhuang Qi took one off and put it in his mouth, a sweet coolness permeated his heart, sweet and sour, making people want to eat it.He recalled that there were many strange trees beside the old Purple Star Terrace. There was an extremely sour grape, which turned blue every year. When he was young, he was ignorant and often picked it to eat. Others thought it was sour, but he just liked it.

Hu Shuo didn't blink, and suddenly said: "You follow Chi Heng all the year round? Are you one of the leaders in the Qianyuan army?"

Zhuang Qi shook his head: "It's just a civilian job to assist the general, and he's not usually by his side."

"Who is that assisting?"

Zhuang Qiying's pale face was reddish. Although he was appointed to join the leadership, he was not assigned to the side of a fixed general like Jing Shuo, Wen Yunbai and others. This time, Rong Yue forced Shi Wei to come during his trip to Jinzhou So he said vaguely, "Sometimes it's my junior brother, sometimes it's General Shi Wei, and sometimes it's General Cen Pojing."

"What about Ma Xingzhi?"

Zhuang Qi said frankly: "General Chi said that I am not capable enough to assist the general by myself."

Hu Shuo approached and teased, "You shouldn't be in the barracks in the first place. If the Hu family is really incorporated into the Qianyuan army, I will definitely ask him to ask you to be my leader." Just like the statue of God, there is no need to laugh, no need to be angry, just sit quietly and wait for the supply of incense in the world. Why should you follow Chi Heng to fight in the north and south and get stained with blood?

That night, Zhuang Qi and Chi Heng shared Hu Shuo's answer, and Chi Heng murmured, "We can leave tomorrow."

Zhuang Qi was surprised: "Aren't you going to convince him?"

"I don't need to persuade him, we just need to wait for Hu Shuo to convince his elder brother. Moreover, Yihu's temper, I'm afraid we have to win Hu Leifan and Murmou at the same time before we can surrender. It's impossible to surrender without a single soldier Yes. However, I have to say that Hu Shuo is very talented in Jinzhou and he can't use it at all." Chi Heng threw the last grape into his mouth, still wanting to say, "Hu Shuo really digs his heart out for you, the grape for you They are all the best in Jinzhou.”

Is this jealousy?Zhuang Qi smiled.

He was born very well, with light lips, and his smile was like a flower brushing by. Chi Heng said with emotion: "Zhuang Qi, thank you for not being a woman! If you are a woman, you must become a beauty, and there will be many people who want to make you smile. Desperate."

Zhuang Qi glanced at him in surprise.

Chi Heng consciously made a slip of the tongue, and said with a smile: "Hu Shuo is one of them. I asked you what your job was yesterday, and I said you are my indispensable right-hand man. He looks very unwilling, which really makes people feel relieved. We're leaving, he definitely wants to keep you, don't let him persuade you!"

The next day, Chi Heng bid farewell.

Hu Shuo, who waited for him to open the skylight to speak bluntly, was very surprised, and it took him a long time to say: "Chi Heng, you didn't really come here just for a stroll, did you? I'm not blind, the ten thousand soldiers you led are here to frighten you Is it? They are all straightforward people. If you don’t say it, I’ll say it: before you came, Ma Xingzhi sent me several private letters, saying that the Qianyuan Army was going to be in the five states of the Western Regions, and advised me to surrender like him. But I Unlike him, mine is the ancestral property of the Hu family, and it is impossible to hand it over to others."

Chi Heng cupped his hands and smiled: "I naturally hope to avoid a battle, but Brother Hu has always emphasized that there are two brothers who cannot make decisions, and Chi Heng is not reluctant, there will always be a chance to meet again in the future."

Hu Shuo pulled him back: "Don't worry, I'll talk to you a few digressions, Zhuang Qi and I hit it off right away, so please give him to me!"

Chi Heng laughed dumbfounded: "No way!"

"What if I exchange the entire Hu clan?"

Zhuang Qi who was at the side turned pale when he heard the words, he didn't expect that Hu Shuo would actually say such words.

Chi Heng smiled and shook his head: "Brother Hu really... No, I didn't bring Zhuang Qi out of the Purple Star Terrace just to send it out today. It is certainly a beautiful thing to do for the people, so please forgive me for being late." If you can't understand the style, you can't be the beauty of an adult!"

Hu Shuo's face also turned pale: "I didn't mean that."

Chi Heng laughed and leaned into Hu Shuo's ear and said, "Chi Heng is absurd. One yard is worth one yard. It is Chi Heng's luck that Hu's willingness to return to the Qianyuan army; but Zhuang Qi, regardless of whether Hu's surrender or not, , I can't control his whereabouts. However, there are plenty of people who can build him a city and a Taoist temple, and he must be willing to go in."

"I can say that with confidence!"

"Wait and see, Chi Heng!" Chi Heng held his whip and smiled, "The upright officials are constantly doing housework, I wish brother Hu realize his long-cherished wish as soon as possible!"

The whip horse was far away, the army was still behind, Chi Heng slowed down the horse, Zhuang Qi looked back speechlessly.

Chi Heng said: "It's dangerous! I almost lost my wife and lost my army. Hu Shuo is aggressive. If I dare to stay for a few more days, I'm afraid I won't be able to bring you back. However, in the future, Hu Shuo will really return to the Qianyuan Army. I still want you to be a leader, Zhuang Qi, what should you do?"

"Naturally follow your arrangement."

"What does it mean to listen to my arrangement? I can arrange for Rong Yue and Huo Chu to fight Jinzhou, and I can still manage Huo Chu and Gu Zhaochuan together? If you want to stay with him, say yes, if you don't, say no, It’s not that you can be wronged by buying and selling by force!”

Zhuang Qi's face darkened: "Then what did you whisper in his ear?"

"... There are plenty of people who will build a city for Zhuang Qi, and he must be willing to go in."

Chi Heng's eyes were full of smiles every word.Smiling so that Zhuang Qi's gloomy face gradually eased, he turned his face away and said, "I thought you just sent me out like this! I am far inferior to Deputy Envoy Ji in terms of lobbying, so it would be a waste of your trip! "

"Who said that! You are unadorned and natural, even if there are no conditions to say that Hu Shuo is like that. Besides, it's not for nothing. I came here to see how the Hu family commanded the army and understand how Hu Shuo Shuo already knows the styles of his two elder brothers, where do you think I am going now!"

"...Where are we going now?"

"Jinzhou is cut in half, and the left side belongs to the Hu brothers - the eldest Hu is in the north, the second Hu is in the middle, and Hu Shuo is on the opposite side; on the right is the battle between us and Hu Leifan, and on the north of the right is Muer Mou, where do you think I will go?"

Zhuang Qi thought for a moment: "Are we going to attack Hu's second son?"

"why?"

"Rong Yue and Ma Xingzhi are enough to wipe out the Hu Leifan, and go north to expel Murmou. If you want to provoke the Hu family, it is most appropriate to cut in from the territory of Hu's second brother. You only need to go east with the Hu family. Just one turn."

Chi Heng smiled approvingly: "That's right. So you have to draft a quick letter now, asking Huo Chi to start a war with Hu Laoer; when our troops are approaching Hu Laoer's territory, you can write another letter." Send a letter of persuasion to Hu Shuo, courtesy first and then soldiers. Don’t worry, Hu Shuo is not stupid, he might have secretly discussed with Hu Boss and Hu Lao Er how to take advantage of the fire to rob!"

Zhuang Qi thought for a while: "It's so fast!"

"So, where are we, where we can meet Huo Chu and join forces and attack Hu Lao Er, kill two birds with one stone, and don't waste time? The weather is so cold. It was so hot two days ago that people died, and today there will be autumn. I understand, it is said that in the north of Jinzhou, it is still late to snow in October, and it will be even worse if the snow covers the border in September."

Zhuang Qi said: "This year Jinzhou will be hotter than previous years."

"why?"

"It can be seen from the astrology that the severe winter in Jinzhou will be postponed for a few days this year, so September can still be preserved. However, February and March next year will be colder than previous years, so it must be done soon! As for the confluence, There is a gorge in Jinzhou named Tuoluo Gorge, the current is surging, you can attack Hu Laoda if you go against the current to the north, and attack Hushuo if you go southward along the current, and Dongtuoluo Gorge cuts into the east like a sword. What do you think of the site?"

Chi Heng was extremely happy: "That's right, it's even better than the place I thought!"
