Beasts become gods

Chapter 247 Friendship between Fox and Tiger

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

"Um……"

The Southern Territory Army Corps, the Chinese Army's tent, the weather is fine.

Qiao Anguo, who had taken off his armor, was sitting on the chair. On the desk in front of him, there were rolls of information and investigations compiled by Tianye. He spread out the rolls of bamboo slips, and the handwriting on them was beautiful and clear.

The document is concise and very enjoyable to read, which gave Qiao Anguo a sense of relief after having been exhausted for four days.

Through the scroll of bamboo slips, one can read the cautiousness of Ye Ye from the words. He insists on authenticity in what he records, and the content he submits must also take care of the hard-working General Qiao, so that he can reduce unnecessary thinking.

It's really well-intentioned. It can be seen that Tian Ye really has his heart.

"I already know everything you said. Let me read these first and then give you new instructions... You have worked hard too. You have always protected the safety of others. I grant you ten days of leave to go back and spend time with your wife and daughter.

Bar."

"Thank you, General! Xiaobang suspects that Han Junhu has second thoughts. General, please think about how to deal with it. Do you want me to go back to Fengcheng and inform Captain Tianye?"

"Xiao Chen, do you know what I am thinking? Come and take a guess?"

"As a soldier, it is my mission to fulfill my duties and to protect the territory is my pursuit. How dare a soldier try to figure out the general's thoughts and ask for his tolerance!"

Looking at the soldier in front of him, his weather-beaten face showed an attitude that was neither humble nor arrogant. Qiao Anguo's original intention of beating Chen Zixiong disappeared.

It seems that Chen Zixiong is really being serious, rather than having other agendas, but he is a man of true temperament...

"Qiao Bang is my grandson who has been designated to inherit the position of general. This matter is not shared by outsiders, and I hope you will not spread the word. As long as Qiao Bang raises questions, I will unconditionally choose to trust him, and Han Junhu will be arranged to the Spirit Beast Park

, I will find another person to go to Wanfeng City to take over Han Junhu’s job."

"Keep your humble position in your heart and never spread it to others!"

"Go back. If there are new arrangements, I will send Qiao Wei to inform you. Remember, the person who will notify you will only be Qiao Wei. Other than Qiao Wei... If there are any, please tell me as soon as possible..."

"Yes, I humbly obey my orders!"

Qiao Anguo waved his hand, and Chen Zixiong quickly walked out of the Chinese army tent. There was no one in the tent at the moment. He rubbed his sore eyebrows and supported his eyebrows and humerus with his fingers to relax his mind. Qiao Anguo could feel the nerves beating on his temples.

, reminding Qiao Anguo of the impact of staying awake all night.

Accustomed to hearing flattering words and too many high-sounding words, Chen Zixiong's reporting work of saying one thing is one thing and saying two things is two things made Qiao Anguo a little uncomfortable. It reminded Qiao Anguo that this was the case when he was a boy.

He had a stubborn and strong character, spoke without considering the feelings of others, failed to take into account everyone's mood, and couldn't clearly see the interests and entanglements. At that time, he was also a young man who had gotten into many troubles.

Chen Zixiong is over 30 years old, but his character is still as strong as ever. I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse. It's time for him to employ people. He originally wanted to send these eight people away from the army to get involved in the market to see if they can change.

After the mission is completed, he will return to the legion and entrust him with important tasks. Now it seems that he has not fulfilled his wish, but has exhausted Tian Tian.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the twenty bundles of bamboo slips on the desk. Qiao Anguo tied up the bamboo slips and placed them in a bamboo basket next to the desk, intending to read them after he woke up. In recent days, sea spirit beasts have been invading, and the sea spirit beasts had been invading the sea just the day before yesterday.

The spirit beasts were all driven back. This wave of sea spirit beasts' offensive was quite fierce. The reason was naturally due to the recent order issued by Yang Chengfu, which ordered everyone in the army to capture the colorful snake demon tribe alive and disembowel the snake gallbladders to fill the military needs.

The sea spirit beasts headed by the colorful snake demon came out in full force. This time, there were no spirit beasts in the divine stage among the sea spirit beasts. There were only mountain-moving angry turtles and tide-calling giant crabs. There were a few among the colorful snake demon group.

The spirit beasts in the soul shaping stage actually worked together to launch this invasion, and they even consulted with each other during the invasion process. Their wisdom was extraordinary.

If it hadn't been for the defeat of those soul-shaping stage spirit beasts, resulting in the sea spirit beasts being leaderless and without command, they were like ants on a hot pot, squandering the spiritual power in their bodies, and the Southern Territory Legion would not have been able to defeat them in such a short period of time.

The battle lasted for three days and four nights. If it continues to be delayed, it will be a huge test for the legion. Long-term concentration will make it easier to get tired. Even those who already have the three barracks of Xunbao, Zhufeng and Qihai

The Southern Territory Legion was unable to mobilize more soldier units to attack, and the number of sea spirit beasts was still too many...

Although this battle was difficult, the corpses left by the sea spirit beasts became the biggest harvest of this battle. The annual Qing'an Festival was about to usher in, and the ensuing banquet for the army generals could be a feast for the eyes.

What a blessing.

It was finally something that made people happy both physically and mentally. Qiao Anguo felt that these days of fighting were worth it. As for the reason for this battle was the killing of colorful snake monsters in the past six months, Qiao Anguo's heart was not disturbed at all.

.The conflict between sea spirit beasts and humans has been going on for a long time. It can no longer be explained clearly in one or two sentences. If Qiao Anguo does not use the method of killing, the people of Dinghai Province will suffer. Eliminate the hidden dangers.

It's a matter of course. It doesn't matter why this hidden danger strikes again. Over the years, there have been winds and rains, too many killings, and his heart has become numb. These karma no longer bind Qiao Anguo's heart.

There are many worries in the near future, and naturally there is no clue about the long-term worries. There are too many things to worry about, and Qiao Anguo also wants to relieve himself of the burden and live a life of leisurely clouds and wild cranes.

Suddenly, a whistle came from outside the camp, and then a clear shout spread through the curtain. Qiao Anguo called lightly to come in. A patrolman walked into the camp, adjusted his helmet and reported.

"Cao Yang, the financial officer of Lanwu City in Pinglan Province, came to see the general and asked the general to meet and elaborate."

"Let him in."

Seeing the patrolmen quickly executing the order and leaving the camp, Qiao Anguo stood up and adjusted his posture, then slowly sat down and patted his cheeks with both hands. The old face that had lost elasticity regained some luster. He tapped his fingers on the table.

The somewhat tired look disappeared and was replaced by a look of inquisitiveness.

Not long after, Cao Yang walked into the camp under the control of four guards. Qiao Anguo waved the guards out. The guards, who knew Qiao Anguo's temper well, just walked out of the camp, stood in a row and faced the outside to guard the camp, and listened.

Keep track of the movement in the tent to prevent any unexpected events.

"Come in, General Qiao! This time, the city lord of Lanwu City, Zhu Boming, was supposed to come to visit him in person. However, because the imperial court sent an inspection envoy to monitor Lanwu City, the city lord may not be able to visit in person in the future. Since Lanwu City is being investigated, it is not possible at the moment.

It's quite difficult. In order to show his respect and attention to you, he entrusted me to meet with you and brought some delicious snacks from Lanwucheng, as well as spiritual plant seeds and crop seeds to express his apology."

Seeing Cao Yang bowing humbly, Qiao Anguo showed disapproval. The person in front of him was the financial officer Cao Yang, who was known as the Fox of Pinglan. This financial officer never wastes energy on things that are not beneficial.

This visit also brought two of the most urgently needed materials. Normally, this fox might be trying to figure out some tricks. This time coincided with the Qing'an Festival, which felt a bit like a weasel paying New Year greetings to a chicken.

"I'm very considerate, Mr. Treasurer. I would like to thank you and the Lord of the City for the gifts you have brought. It is not rude to come back and not return. I will also prepare a generous gift for you before you leave. I will treat it as my own heartfelt gift."

"General Qiao, you are serious in your words. It is an honor for me to have a few words with General Qiao. I have an unkind request. General, please accept it."

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

"I would like 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. It is because I have been fascinated by it for a long time and it is difficult for me to do so."

"What's the problem? I'll give you a token later. You can go in and out of areas outside the military camp on your own. There's no problem if you want to go to Qiaozhuang."

"Thank you General Qiao!"

"Let's sit down and talk."

"It is better to obey orders than to be respectful!"

Cao Yang was worthy of being an old fox who had experienced officialdom for a long time. His manner was just right, neither flattering nor dismissing him. Qiao Anguo, who wanted to question him, gave in. Cao Yang, the fox, had already expected that this chat would be very interesting.

To be sharp, first adopt a respectful attitude so that you cannot hold yourself accountable directly.

However, Qiao Anguo had fought hard all his life, and the blood evil spirit in his body was still lingering. In the eyes of a fierce tiger like him, Cao Yang's actions were really just trying to survive.

The two sat down on the chairs made from Lingzhi interceptions. Cao Yangke obeyed and did not dare to speak first, quietly observing Qiao Anguo's every move.

Qiao Anguo didn't give Cao Yang time to think. Seeing Cao Yang's hesitation, Qiao Anguo spoke slowly.

"Since you and I have jointly invested in the construction of the bridge between the two provinces, it has not only facilitated each other's freight, but also attracted the bandits and bandits from the three provinces of Pinglan, Yanxia, ​​and Diancang. Our army has to mobilize

10% of the troops will guard the north and kill these blind rats on the spot. Recently, I have deployed thousands of troops to station directly at Yunshuidun to prevent idlers from coming to harass them. Unfortunately, the results have been very little. I want to ask you

, does City Lord Zhu intend to leave the bandits alone and let them plunder the village, burn, kill and loot?"

"City Master Zhu Boming has recently discovered that Pinglan Province has a frequent flow of immigrants. At the beginning of last month, he strengthened the city defense and city gate inspections, and ordered other areas in Pinglan Province to follow suit. Unexpectedly, the bandits were so rampant that they bypassed the city and came from the mountains and fields.

The river passes through it. We are exhausted and have intercepted several groups of bandits and thieves, but unfortunately we have had little effect..."

"Since Zhu Boming has not come and sent you to communicate with me, I will make it clear. Although I was appointed by the emperor and demoted to General Zhennan, and I was ordered by the emperor to resist the sea spirit beasts and protect the people from living and working in peace and contentment, but Emperor Chen

I also said that I can kill on my behalf here without having to detain and wait for the imperial court to send people to interrogate and kill them. If there are too many bandits coming from Pinglan Province and hinder the deployment plan of our army to resist the sea spirit beasts, I will

I don’t mind being a foolish general for once. All spirit warriors coming from the other side of the bridge will be killed, regardless of their origins and seniority. If bandit activities are too frequent, I will cut this bridge between two provinces with my sword. I hope you will

City Lord Zhu can understand it, but it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t, just think of me as old-sighted and a whim..."

The more Cao Yang listened, the more frightened he became. He had heard of Qiao Anguo's past deeds. When he was young and his strength had not reached its peak, he was able to cultivate at the Spirit King level and kill the intruders of the Loulan Dynasty with the Seven-Star Earth Evil Sword.

It even cut a huge gap in the Promir Mountains, frightening the troops of the Loulan Dynasty directly.

Back then, he was able to cut the Promir Mountains with his sword, but now he is one of the top five heroes in the Garo Empire. Cutting the bridge is really easy...

If this fierce tiger keeps staring at the sea to the south, then Pinglan Province, as its neighbor, will naturally enjoy peace. No matter how much turmoil there is in the north, it will not shake the foundation of Pinglan Province. Zhu Boming, who is called the Lord of the City, is actually a prince, and has already taken the throne.

Now, if Qiao Anguo, the ferocious tiger, no longer focuses on the sea spirit beast, but turns his attention to Pinglan Province, the strength of the Yilan Military Camp can only be reduced by the invasion of the Southern Territory Legion.

If you hold on for one day and one night, you will definitely be ruined the next day...

If this friction turns into a war, he can be sure that the two provinces of Pinglan and Dinghai will turn into a scorched earth. The Southern Territory Legion will have nothing to stop it wherever it goes, and will only be slaughtered by others. The current Southern Territory Legion

There are three major military camps: Xunbao Camp, Zhufeng Camp, and Quhai Camp. The number of people has already exceeded 10,000, nearly half of which are refugees from Yanxia and Diancang provinces. After training in recent years, they have become very powerful.

The military strength of the battalion is no less than that of Shangtianmen. If Qiao Anguo has different intentions, supports his troops on his own, and sends his troops northward...

The Garo Empire will turn into a mess...

"General Qiao, I can understand your proposal. Zhu Boming told me before I set off that if I mention this matter today, please calm down General Qiao Anguo. We don't want to cause this series of unnecessary troubles.

However, Binh Lan Province has also accepted many refugees in recent years, 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 easing the problems faced by the refugees after arriving in Binh Lan Province.

The various problems we faced, including small-scale conflicts, wasted a lot of our time..."

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

"Oh? Are you planning to spread your thoughts, complain to me, and then use your emotions to make me understand the current situation? Then you have to praise your achievements in recent years?"

Cao Yang replied in a lukewarm tone. He already understood the implication of Qiao Anguo's words. Stop talking nonsense. What Qiao Anguo wants is the solution and compensation for Lanwucheng in Pinglan Province, not a bunch of excuses and evasions.

word.

"General Qiao, what I want to express is that you and I, City Lord Zhu Boming, are both people who care about our country. All we want is for the people to live and work in peace and contentment, and for the people to be happy and healthy. Under this common ideal and goal, City Lord Zhu has been focusing on people's livelihood.

, re-production, and mediating the conflicts between the people, and you worked hard and fought back waves of sea spirit beasts, gaining enough land for the people to survive. The banditry was not the intention of the city lord Zhu, and Lanwu City was open to the outside world.

The city and the countryside have been neglected for a long time. City Lord Zhu has paid attention to this problem and will devote himself wholeheartedly to investigating and annihilating bandits and bandits. This will reduce the occurrence of such things in the future."

"The bridge between the two provinces not only satisfies the trade exchanges between the two provinces, but also closely connects the forces of you and us. The current situation is turbulent, and it is our common wish to prepare 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 to be a sword fight between City Lord Zhu and you, it will really be a bitter end for relatives and for enemies to be happy.”

"I implore General Qiao to be more understanding and tolerant, and give us enough time to catch all the bandits who frequently move between the two provinces and kill them in public to serve as a warning to others!"

Qiao Anguo narrowed his eyes slightly, suddenly a little unsure, whether Cao Yang was pretending to be confused because he understood, or whether he was using the people to excuse himself and judged him left and right.

"What do you mean? Does Zhu Boming intend for you to say these words to expose this matter?"

"No, City Lord Zhu gave me two final instructions, asking me to bring his words to you."

After a pause, Cao Yang spoke loudly.

"Out of alarm, he caused trouble to neighboring provinces and caused trouble to General Qiao in his defense against sea spirit beasts. He is very sorry. Out of respect for the soldiers, he will send a thousand bolts of cloth, three thousand loads of grain, and five thousand crop seeds in the future.

Seven hundred thousand 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 abandoned and the bridge between the two provinces will be opened as the general wishes."

"Zhu Boming shouldn't think that after defeating a few rounds of bandits and repelling a few Xiaoxiao, he is qualified to negotiate terms with me?"

To Qiao Anguo's surprise, Cao Yang nodded slowly, the firmness in his eyes not seeming to be fake.

This made him wonder if he had seen it wrong.

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

"What's the meaning?"

"The Southern Territory Army is very strong, but we are not weak either. Lanwuying purchased advanced attack weapons from neighboring countries to guard the city walls. The Southern Territory Army 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 saying that, Cao Yang took out a strange-shaped weapon from the space storage spiritual weapon, which resembled a bow or a crossbow. It carried luck and poured the spiritual power in his body into it. Terrifying energy burst out from it. If it is stimulated, it will

It will cause great power.

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

The atmosphere in the camp instantly dropped to freezing point.

"This is not a threat, it is just a reminder to General Qiao that the threat is not just the gangsters in the country, or the unrest in the north. Our neighboring country, the Aolai Empire, has become stronger and has many advanced spiritual weapons and equipment. In the future, we

The enemy is not only domestic, but also the army of the Aolai Empire."

"We sincerely hope that we can live together in friendship and peace. There have been too many tragedies in this world, including thugs, bandits, thieves, invasions from neighboring countries, intrusions by spiritual beasts, power disputes... Your child died in the royal court.

, and more people died in this chaotic era, you and I are all in it, covered in mud and blood, and we are really, really unwilling to get to the final step."

After a pause, Cao Yang slowly spoke.

"But even if we are reluctant, we must let others know that we are powerful allies, and we can also be piercing enemies."

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

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

In this cold winter, even the bright sunshine cannot ease the tense atmosphere in the camp.

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