The Chu Dynasty is the largest country in the Qianlong Continent. Among the four major families, the heads of the Qin family and the Shangguan family are in a quiet courtyard.
Qin De sat at the stone table with a calm expression, while Xu Yuan stood beside him and waited quietly.
"Haha...Brother Qin De, long time no see." An old man with silver-white hair strode over. The old man actually had gold earrings on his ears, and his eyes were even colder, but at the moment they were full of enthusiasm. .
Qin De got up, pointed to the side and said with a smile: "Brother Shangguan, please sit down."
Shangguan Hong, King of the Northern Chu Dynasty, controlled the two counties in the Northern Region. At the moment there are only four people in the courtyard, Qin De and Xu Yuan. The other two were Shangguan Hong and his subordinate Zhuang Jun. But outside the courtyard, there are a large number of masters secretly vigilant.
"Brother Qin De, why are you looking for an old man like me this time?" Shangguan Hong smoothed his silver hair slightly before sitting down. It was obvious that Shangguan Hong cared about his hair very much. His subordinate Zhuang Jun was standing behind him.
Qin De smiled and said, "I won't make any detours, you help me, we will take the Chu Dynasty together."
Shangguan Hong was startled, he did not expect Qin De to be so straightforward, although he had already guessed what Qin De wanted to see him in secret this time, Shangguan Hong then laughed dryly: "Here, brother Qin De, don't be joking, this is terrible If I want to lose my head, I can pretend that I have never heard of this."
Qin De slowly shook his head and said, "I ask you, should you do it or not?"
Shangguan Hong didn't answer, and remained silent for a long time before raising his head and asking: "Even if we join forces, how sure are you?"
"Eighty percent!" Qin De said indifferently.
Shangguan Hong laughed, and said: "Brother Qin De, don't fool me, the Mu family has 600,000 troops, and the four counties in the Western Regions have 800,000 troops, adding up to 1.4 million. My two counties in the Northern Territory are only 400,000 in total, and yours is only 600,000, how can it be 80%?"
"I want to destroy the Xiang family, not just with an army of 600,000." Qin De said with a smile.
Shangguan Hong narrowed his eyes: "Oh? It seems that Brother Qin De has a lot of troops secretly. But the Xiang family and the Mu family have a total of 1.4 million. How many troops do you have in secret? I dare say you are 80% sure, and you There are so many people in the dark, how can they escape the Xiang family's intelligence investigation!" Shangguan Hong obviously didn't believe it.
"There are 200,000 in the dark." Qin De said with a smile, "to add up to 800,000. Although our Fierce Tiger Army is only 50,000, its real attack power is equivalent to 200,000 to 300,000 troops."
Shangguan Hong's eyes lit up.
Of course he knew how powerful the Liehu Army was, so he thought about it and said with a smile: "Indeed, in terms of the quality of the army alone, your army in the three counties of the Eastern Region is the strongest. If there are really 200,000 in secret, there is still hope." Yes. But as far as I know, the bandits in the Blackwater Mountains still need your 200,000 troops to frighten them. Otherwise, the bandits in the Blackwater Mountains will wreak havoc on the three counties of the Eastern Region, and they will mess up your lair."
Qin De said nonchalantly: "There is no need to worry about this, but there are only some bandits. Although the Blackwater Mountains are extremely vast, it is extremely difficult to exterminate them. But there is one thing... the bandits in the Blackwater Mountains are just bandits. As long as Discuss and give some benefits, and they will settle down."
Qin De's eyes suddenly lit up: "So, my army is completely capable of attacking. You must know that my three counties in the Eastern Region are close to Honghuang. The kind of soldiers who have not fought for decades or hundreds of years can be compared."
Qin De is very confident.
Shangguan Hong nodded affirmatively.
It is true that the four major families have their own armies, but in terms of the combat effectiveness of the troops, the army of the three counties of the Eastern Region is definitely the strongest, because the army base camp of the three counties of the Eastern Region is on the frontier of the prehistoric, and they often fight against wild beasts. bloody.
However, the armies of the Xiang family, the Mu family, and the Shangguan family have not fought for decades or hundreds of years.
Shangguan Hong kept thinking in her heart, and raised her head after a while and said, "Then what good will I do? How can you guarantee that you won't destroy me after destroying the Xiang family?"
Qin De smiled slightly, and said: "It's very simple, the two counties of the four counties in the Western Regions that are close to the northern ocean belong to you, plus your original two counties, there are four counties in total. These four counties are all close together, and they are backed by the ocean. , you have these four counties, backed by the ocean, you are not afraid of my repentance in the future, right? How about it?"
"The four counties close to the ocean?" Shangguan Hong's eyes lit up, obviously his heart was moved.
These four counties are close to each other, once they all belong to him, Shangguanhong, even if Qin De wants to destroy him in the future, it will be difficult. After all, backed by the natural barrier of the sea, with four counties in hand, at least there is absolutely no problem with self-protection, and after the war, the Qin family probably doesn't have much power to deal with him.
"Then what if the Han Dynasty takes the opportunity to attack?" Shangguan Hong continued to ask.
Qin De stood up, waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about this, the Han Dynasty will never have any chance. As for the Ming Dynasty, I believe that the kind of people who will only be attacked and dare not attack will not need many weak dynasties."
Shangguan Hong was silent.
After a long time, Shangguan Hong nodded: "I promise you, but the troops of our two counties in the Northern Territory will never be pioneers."
"Okay, it's a deal."
Qin De and Shangguan Hong clapped their hands and made an oath.
"Haha..." Qin De and Shangguan Hong looked at each other and laughed, but no one knew what they were thinking. Is it necessary to obey the high-five oath? In Qianlong Continent, few people believe in the high-five oath.
…
On the second day, in a courtyard, Shangguan Hong was sitting at the desk writing vigorously, while Zhuang Jun was respectfully at the side.
After a while, Shangguan Hong finished writing, and read it carefully again, and couldn't help being very satisfied.
"Hmph, that idiot Qin De actually wanted to rebel and drag me into the water. Isn't it good that I am now my stable king of Zhenbei? Although... the four counties are also very attractive. It's a pity." Shangguan Hong looked at There was a piece of paper on the table, and I couldn't help laughing.
Zhuang Jun said from the side: "My lord, the Qin family's conditions are not bad, and they are quite sincere. Are you really not giving them hope?"
Shangguan Hong turned to look at Zhuang Jun, and laughed: "Zhuang Jun, we can't lose. Do you know? So we have to place bets on both sides. Whether the Qin family wins or the Xiang family wins, we have to win." benefit."
Zhuang Jun was confused.
Shangguan Hong smiled. Zhuang Jun was his most loyal subordinate and the number two in the two counties of the Northern Region. Zhuang Jun had saved Shangguan Hong's life twice. Of course Shangguan Hong attached great importance to Zhuang Jun.
"Zhuang Jun, I am sure about this matter, you don't need to worry, you can go out." Shangguan Hong said with a light smile.
"This subordinate will leave." Zhuang Jun immediately left the room.
Shangguan Hong's face turned cold suddenly: "Send this letter to the emperor." Suddenly a black shadow flashed, and the letter on Shangguan Hong's desk disappeared.
Shangguan Hong squinted her eyes and looked out of the window, thinking to herself: "Qin De, you would never have imagined the relationship between my Shangguan family and the Xiang family. You can only blame your bad luck. Even if I don't help each other, how can your family fight against each other?" The Xiang family and the Mu family, when the three counties in the Eastern Region are wiped out, maybe I can get some benefits."
Shangguan Hong thought so well, but would the Qin family pin their hopes on him
