Turn a beast into a god

Chapter 247
"This is the situation in Wanfeng City in the past six months, please make a clear decision, General!"

"Um……"

The Southern Territory Legion, the large tent of the Chinese Army, the weather is fine.

Qiao Anguo, who had taken off his armor, sat on the chair, and on the desk in front of him, there were volumes of materials and investigations sorted out by Tian Ye.Spreading out the rolls of bamboo slips, the handwriting on it was beautiful, clear and concise, and it was very enjoyable to read, which relieved Qiao Anguo who had been exhausted for four days.

Through the volumes of bamboo slips, you can read the cautiousness of the field from the lines, and you must be true to the content you recorded. The content you present must also take care of the hard-working General Qiao, so that he can reduce unnecessary thinking. Really well-intentioned.It can be seen that Tian Ye really has a heart.

"I already know what you said, let me read these first, and then give you new instructions... You have worked hard, you have been protecting the safety of others, and you have been granted ten days off, so you can go back and spend time with your wife and daughter Bar."

"Thank you, General! Xiaobang suspects that Han Junhu has a double heart. General, how should you deal with it? Do you want me to go back to Fengcheng and inform Captain Tianye?"

"Xiao Chen, do you know what I think, come and guess?"

"As a humble soldier, it is my mission to fulfill my duties, and my pursuit is to defend the territory. How dare soldiers try to figure out what the general wants, please forgive him!"

Looking at the soldier in front of him, the weather-beaten and weather-beaten face displayed an attitude of neither humble nor overbearing, which made Qiao Anguo's original intention to beat Chen Zixiong disappear.

It seems that Chen Zixiong is really serious, not with other schemes, but a man of true temperament...

"Qiaobang is my grandson appointed to inherit the position of general. This matter is not common to outsiders, and I hope you don't spread it. As long as it is a question raised by Qiaobang, I choose to trust it unconditionally. Han Junhu will be arranged in the spirit beast garden. , I will find another person to go to Wanfeng City to replace Han Junhu's job."

"Keep in mind the humble position and never spread it to the outside world!"

"You go back. If there is a new arrangement, I will send Qiao Wei to inform you. Remember, the person who will inform you will only be Qiao Wei. Other than Qiao Wei... If there is any, please tell me as soon as possible..."

"Yes, I obey!"

Qiao Anguo waved his hand, and Chen Zixiong quickly walked out of the large tent of the Chinese army. At the moment, there was no one in the tent. He rubbed his sore brows, and supported his brow and humerus with his fingers to soothe his spirit.Qiao Anguo could feel the beating of nerves above his temples, reminding Qiao Anguo of the impact of not sleeping all night.

Accustomed to flattery and fawning words, Chen Zixiong's report work that says one is one and two is two made Qiao Anguo a little uncomfortable, and Qiao Anguo recalled that he was also like this when he was a teenager With a stubborn and strong character, he speaks without considering the feelings of others, does not take into account everyone's feelings, and cannot see clearly the interests and entanglements. At that time, he was also a stunned young man, and he had caused many disasters.

Chen Zixiong is over [-] years old, his character is still so resolute, he doesn't know if it's a blessing or a curse, when he is employing people, he originally wanted to send these eight people away from the army to enjoy the fireworks in the market, to see if there is some change, After the task is completed, return to the legion and entrust it with an important task.Now it seems that he didn't get what he wanted, but the field was exhausted.

From the corner of his eye, he glanced at more than twenty bundles of bamboo slips on the table. Qiao Anguo tied up the bamboo slips and put them in the bamboo basket next to the table, intending to read them after waking up.In recent days, sea spirit beasts have been continuously invading, and it was only yesterday that all the sea spirit beasts were repelled.The attack of this wave of sea spirit beasts is quite ferocious, and the reason for this is naturally that Yang Chengfu recently issued an order to capture the colorful snake monster group alive in the army, disembowel them and take out the snake gall to fill the army, which attracted people led by the colorful snake monster. The sea spirit beasts came out in full force. This time, there were no spirit beasts at the stage of transforming spirits among the sea spirit beasts, but there were a few spirit beasts at the soul-shaping stage among the groups of moving mountains and angry turtles, tide-calling giant crabs, and colorful snake monsters. , They actually worked together to launch this invasion, and they also consulted with each other during the invasion process, their wisdom can be described as extraordinary.

If it hadn't been for the defeat of those soul-shaping spirit beasts, resulting in the leaderless sea spirit beasts, and they were like ants on a hot pot without command, squandering the spiritual power in their bodies, and the Southern Territory Legion would not have been able to survive in such a short period of time. They encircled and suppressed them inside, and the battle lasted for three days and four nights. If it continues to delay, it will be a huge test for the legion. Concentration for a long time will make it easier to get tired. The Southern Territory Legion couldn't mobilize more soldiers to fight, the number of sea spirit beasts is still too much...

Although the battle was arduous, the corpses left by the sea spirit beasts became the biggest harvest of this battle.It just so happens that the annual Qing'an Festival is about to usher in, and the next banquet will be a feast for the lieutenant soldiers.

Finally, there is something that makes people happy physically and mentally. Qiao Anguo feels that the fighting these days is worth it.As for the reason for this battle was the plundering of the colorful snake demon in the past six months, Qiao Anguo didn't feel the slightest disturbance in his heart.The conflict between sea spirit beasts and humans has been going on for a long time, and it has long been impossible to say clearly in one or two sentences. If Qiao Anguo does not promote the way of killing, the people of Dinghai Province will suffer. It is necessary to eliminate hidden dangers. Of course.As for the reason for this hidden danger to strike again, it is no longer important. These years have gone through wind and rain, and the heart has been numb due to too many killings. These karma have no longer restrained Qiao Anguo's heart.

There are a lot of near-term worries, but the long-term worries are naturally clueless. There are too many things to worry about. Qiao Anguo also wants to let go of the burden and live a life of idle clouds and wild cranes.

Suddenly, a whistle sounded from outside the tent, and then a crisp shout spread through the curtain. Qiao Anguo softly called in, only to see a patrol soldier walk into the tent, straighten his helmet and report.

"Cao Yangjin, the financial officer of Lanwu City, Pinglan Province, asked the general to meet and explain in detail."

"Let him in."

Seeing the patrolling soldiers quickly execute the order to leave the tent, Qiao Anguo stood up and adjusted his posture, then sat down slowly, patted his cheeks with his hands, the old face that had lost its elasticity regained some brilliance, and tapped his fingers on the table. Some of the tired look disappeared, replaced by a look of pleading guilty.

Not long after, Cao Yang walked into the tent under the control of four guards, and Qiao Anguo waved the guards to go out.The guards, who knew Qiao Anguo's temperament well, just walked out of the tent, stood in a row facing the outside and guarded the tent, listening to the movement inside the tent to prevent accidents.

"General Qiao attend! Zhu Boming, the lord of Lanwu City, was supposed to come to visit in person this time, but since the imperial court sent inspectors to monitor Lanwu City, the follow-up city lord may not be able to visit in person. It's quite tricky, and in order to show his respect and importance to you, he entrusted me to meet with you and bring some delicious snacks from Lanwu City, as well as spiritual plant seeds and crop seeds, to express his apologies."

Seeing Cao Yang's humble bow, Qiao Anguo showed disapproval.The person in front of me is Cao Yang, the financial officer, the famous Pinglan Fox. This financial officer never wastes energy on matters of no interest. This visit also brought two materials that are most in short supply at the moment. The fox here may be trying to figure out something.At this time, it coincides with the Qing'an Festival, which is a bit like a weasel giving a New Year greeting to a chicken.

"I have a heart, Mr. Financial Officer. Thank you and the city lord for the gift. It is not indecent to come and go. Before you leave, I will prepare a generous gift for you. It is my own heart."

"General Qiao, you are serious. It is my honor to have a few words with General Qiao. I have a merciless request, and I ask you to agree."

"What's the matter? Why don't you tell me?"

"I want to participate in this year's Qing'an Festival and enjoy a moment of joy with all the brave soldiers. This is not the intention of the city lord. I have been fascinated for a long time, and I can't help myself."

"What's the difficulty? I'll give you a token later. You can go in and out of the area outside the barracks on your own. It's no problem to go to Qiaozhuang."

"Thank you General Joe!"

"Let's sit down and talk."

"Respect is worse than obedience!"

Cao Yang is worthy of being an old fox who has been in the officialdom for a long time. His demeanor is just right, neither flattering nor dismissive, making Qiao Anguo, who wanted to question him, give up a step. Thinking about Cao Yang, this fox has already expected that this chat will be very difficult. Be sharp, first take a respectful attitude so that you can't be directly accountable.

However, Qiao Anguo has been fighting all his life as a soldier, and the bloody aura on his body has not dissipated. In the eyes of a tiger like Cao Yang, these actions of Cao Yang are really trying to survive.

The two sat down on the chairs made by Lingzhi. Cao Yangke obeyed, not daring to speak first, and quietly observed Qiao Anguo's every move.

Qiao Anguo didn't give Cao Yang time to think, seeing that Cao Yang was hesitating, he opened his mouth without haste.

"Since you and I have jointly funded and contributed to the construction of the bridge between the two provinces, it has not only facilitated each other's freight, but also attracted bandits and bandits from the three provinces of Pinglan, Yanxia, ​​and Diancang. Our army had to be transferred. [-]% of the troops guard the north, and kill these unscrupulous rats on the spot. Recently, I have mobilized thousands of troops to station directly at Yunshuidun to prevent the harassment of idlers, but unfortunately the effect is very little. I want to ask you , Zhu City Lord intends to let the thieves and bandits do nothing, let them plunder the village, burn, kill and plunder?"

"City Lord Zhu Boming has also recently discovered the frequent flow of foreign population in Binh Lan Province. At the beginning of last month, he has strengthened the city defense and city gate investigation, and ordered other areas of Binh Lan Province to follow suit. Unexpectedly, this bandit is rampant, bypassing the city from the mountains, The river passes through. We are exhausted and have blocked several groups of bandits and bandits, but with little success..."

"Since Zhu Boming didn't come here and sent you to communicate with me, I'll make it clear. Although the old man was appointed by the emperor and demoted to Zhennan General, he was ordered by the emperor to resist sea spirit beasts here and protect the people to live and work in peace and contentment, but Emperor Chen I also said that I can kill here on my behalf, and I don’t have to wait for the imperial court to send people to interrogate them before beheading. If there are too many bandits coming from Pinglan Province, which hinders our army’s deployment plan to resist the sea spirit beast, I will I don't mind being a foolish general. All spiritual warriors coming from the other side of the bridge will be killed, regardless of their background. If bandits and bandits are too frequent, I will break the bridge connecting two provinces with my sword, and I hope you And Zhu City Lord can understand, it doesn't matter if you don't understand, just treat me as old-eyed and dim-sighted, just on a whim..."

The more Cao Yang heard it, the more terrified he became. He had heard of Qiao Anguo's past deeds. When he was young, before his strength reached its peak, he was able to use the Spirit King Realm to slaughter the invaders of the Loulan Dynasty with the Seven Star Earth Fiend Sword. It even cut a huge gap in the Promir Mountains, which directly frightened the army of the Loulan Dynasty.

Back then, he was able to cut through the Promir Mountains with his sword, and now he is a hero in the top five of the Jia Luo Empire. It is really easy to cut the bridge...

If this fierce tiger keeps staring at the sea to the south, then Pinglan Province as a neighbor will naturally enjoy peace. No amount of turmoil in the north will shake the foundation of Pinglan Province. The hegemony of Binh Lam province.If Qiao Anguo, the fierce tiger, no longer pays attention to the sea spirit beast, but turns his attention to Pinglan Province, the strength of the Lanwu Battalion can only last a day and a night under the invasion of the Southern Region Legion. The sky will definitely destroy the city and the family...

If this friction turns into a war, he can be sure that the two provinces of Pinglan and Dinghai will be turned into a piece of scorched earth, and there will be no obstacles for the Southern Region Legion to go everywhere, only to be slaughtered.The current Southern Region Legion has three major military camps: Xunbao Battalion, Chasing Wind Battalion, and Quhai Battalion. The number of them has already exceeded [-], and nearly half of them are refugees who fled here from Yanxia and Diancang provinces. After training in recent years, they have already It is very powerful. The military power of the three battalions is no less than that of Shangtianmen. If Qiao Anguo has a different heart, he will support himself and march north...

The Jialuo Empire will be a mess...

"General Qiao, I can understand your proposal. Before I set off, Zhu Boming told me that if I mentioned this matter today, I would like to ask General Qiao Anguo to calm down. We don't want to cause this series of unnecessary troubles. However, in recent years, Binh Lan Province has also accepted many refugees, resettled them and allowed them to live a prosperous life. The original market pressure and municipal pressure have increased sharply. Over the years, we have been relieving the refugees from coming to Binh Lan Province. The various problems faced, including small-scale conflicts, wasted a lot of our time..."

Qiao Anguo slightly raised his eyebrows, as if he heard something interesting, he said with a smile.

"Oh? You're planning to divert your thinking, complain to me, and then understand it with emotion and reason, let me pinch my nose to recognize the current situation, and then I have to praise the achievements you have made in recent years?"

Cao Yang replied in a tepid tone. He already understood Qiao Anguo's implication, so stop talking nonsense. What Qiao Anguo wanted was the solution and compensation from Lanwu City in Pinglan Province, not a basket of excuses and evasions. word.

"General Qiao, what I want to express is that you and my city lord Zhu Boming are people who care about the country and the country. What we want is for the people to live and work in peace and contentment, and the people's happiness and well-being. Under this common ideal and goal, Zhu Boming has been focusing on people's livelihood. , Re-production, reconcile the contradictions among the people, and you also worked hard, repelled wave after wave of sea spirit beasts, and won enough land for the people to survive. It was not the intention of the Lord Zhu to flee the bandits. The outer ring of Lanwu City The city and the countryside have been neglected for a long time, Zhu City Lord has paid attention to this problem, and will devote himself to the investigation and extermination of bandits and bandits, and will reduce the occurrence of such things in the future."

"The bridge between the two provinces not only satisfies the trade between the two provinces, but also closely connects the two forces. The current situation is turbulent, and it is our common wish to plan for a rainy day. The country will not be the country, but the family It’s still home, and that’s the purpose of building a bridge. If it turns out that City Lord Zhu meets you with swords and soldiers, it will be a happy result for loved ones and enemies."

"I implore General Qiao to be more understanding and tolerant, give us enough time, and definitely wipe out all the thieves who frequently flow between the two provinces, and ask them to beheaded in public, so as to serve as an example to others!"

Qiao Anguo narrowed his eyes slightly, suddenly he was a little uncertain, whether Cao Yang pretended to be confused, or used the people to prevaricate himself, and talked about him from left to right.

"What do you mean? Is Zhu Boming planning to let you say these few words to expose the matter?"

"Not at all. City Lord Zhu told me two last words, asking me to bring his words with me."

After a pause, Cao Yang spoke softly.

"Because he disturbed the neighboring provinces and caused trouble for General Qiao to resist the sea spirit beast, he is very sorry. Out of respect for the soldiers, he will send 70 bolts of cloth, [-] dans of grain, [-] crop seeds, [-] Gallo coins are used as humanitarian support to fund the development of the Southern Territory Legion."

"If General Qiao doesn't appreciate it, this friendly meeting will be over, and the bridge between the two provinces will be at the general's discretion."

"Zhu Boming didn't think he was qualified to negotiate terms with me after defeating a few rounds of thieves and repelling Xiaoxiao."

Contrary to Qiao Anguo's expectation, Cao Yang nodded slowly, the firmness in his eyes did not seem to be fake.

This made him wonder if he was wrong.

"Of course, I have no doubt that we have the qualifications."

"What do you mean?"

"The Southern Region Legion is strong, but we are not weak. The Lanwu Battalion has purchased advanced offensive weapons from neighboring countries to defend the city walls. The Southern Region Legion may be able to defeat us on the frontal battlefield, but we can guarantee our opponents There will be a very heavy price to pay.”

After finishing speaking, Cao Yang took out a weapon with a strange shape from the space storage spirit weapon, like a bow and crossbow, with luck in his hand, he poured the spiritual power in his body into it, and a frightening energy burst out from it. Will cause great power.

"Are you threatening me?" Qiao Anguo looked at the spirit weapon that was accumulating spiritual power, and his chest heaved continuously, as if he couldn't hold his breath, and wanted to smash the attacking spirit weapon that was still accumulating spiritual power.

The atmosphere in the tent instantly dropped to freezing point.

"This is not a threat, but a reminder to General Joe that the threat is not only the gangsters in the country, but also the turmoil in the north. Our neighboring country, the Aolai Empire, has grown stronger and has many advanced spiritual equipment. In the future, we will The enemy is not only domestic, but also the army of the Aolai Empire."

"We sincerely hope that we can live in peace and harmony. There have been too many tragedies in this world. Thugs, bandits, thieves, invasion of neighboring countries, invasion of spirit beasts, power disputes... Your child died in the royal court , and more people died in this chaotic era, you and I are in it, covered with mud and blood, we are really very, very unwilling to go to the last step."

After a pause, Cao Yang spoke slowly.

"But even if we don't want to, we must let others know that we are powerful allies and can be bitter enemies."

"Therefore, rather than threatening you, General Qiao, I hope that you and I can talk about our future development calmly, seek common ground while reserving differences, seek survival together, watch and help each other, instead of being suspicious of each other and helping our opponents."

After Cao Yang finished speaking, he took a deep breath, the spirit weapon in his hand no longer accumulated spiritual power, the energy gradually faded, and the clothes against his back were already soaked with sweat.

In this cold winter, even if the sun is shining, it can't ease the tense atmosphere in the camp.

The conversation between the fox and the tiger is really dangerous.
