Chapter Fifty-Three: The Scholar Dies for His Confidant
Of the two people introduced by Zhang Xutuo, one of them looked natural and calm, standing as solemn as a mountain, with a sparkle in his eyes.
He was wearing the golden armor of the Xiaoguo Army, carrying two steel whips on his back, and a simple horizontal sword on his waist. He was majestic and extraordinary.
Although he is a small soldier, in Qin Hu's eyes, he actually has the demeanor of a famous general.
Qin Hu immediately gave him a thumbs up in his heart.
The second person surprised him even more.
This man had a round head, a square face, a big nose, and an unusually large body. Standing in the tent, he looked like a hill, but he seemed to be only fifteen or sixteen years old.
He is clearly still a child.
Zhang Xutuo hurriedly introduced: "General, these two are my fellow villagers. The older one is called Qin Shubao, and the younger one is called Luo Shixin. Qin Shubao is brave and resourceful, and Luo Shixin is brave and not afraid of death. General, if you don't believe it, you can
Let them demonstrate their martial arts skills on the spot."
Qin Hu, he had long felt that the current Yu Dynasty overlapped with the history he knew. Now that he heard the names of Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin, he became even more sure.
This era may have turned a corner in a certain historical period, but many characters and many things still appeared and happened when they should have appeared and happened.
Luo Shixin's voice was as loud as a bell, and he said loudly and excitedly: "Brother Zhang has told me that the young Marquis is a noble man and a talented general. He admires you the most, and so do our two brothers. Little Marquis, if you
If you like us, Brother Qin and I will follow you from now on."
Qin Shubao was a steady man. He raised his hands and said: "The little Marquis has a long history in his family. He can conquer others without fighting. It is widely spread in the military camp. The subordinates admire the little Marquis's military skills very much. I hope the little Marquis will not mind our origins and lead the army."
I am willing to follow my Qin Shubao to the death to make great achievements."
"Oh, Brother Luo, Brother Qin, really, I am so happy."
Qin Hu suddenly felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart. He felt that God seemed to be sending him some kind of hint. The arrival of these two people was likely to open up a new situation for him.
"Brother Zhang, go and call brothers Gao Gao and Sun Xuanya."
"As commanded."
Not long after Zhang Xutuo left, he came back with Gao Da and Sun Xuanya.
"Why are there food and drinks here?" Sun Xuanya said shyly: "Tomorrow the main army will march eastward. The herald has said that drinking is prohibited. Brother Qin, how can you be so bold and dare to violate military discipline?"
"Because today is a very special day."
Qin Hu laughed loudly and raised his hands to everyone: "I have a proposal. I want to sworn brothers with the five of you here. From now on, we will share blessings and hardships, and share life and death."
"Does the young marquis think so highly of a certain family?" Qin Shubao took a step forward excitedly. He felt a little inexplicable.
You must know that this champion house is one of the eight powerful families in the world, and it belongs to a force that even the emperor is afraid of.
And these people all come from humble backgrounds. In this era shrouded by the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng system, they are not even qualified to talk to others, and today is the first time they meet.
"Little Marquis, are you serious? If a person like you becomes a sworn sworn brother to common people like us, aren't you afraid that people will look down on you when you return to Beijing?" Luo Shixin grinned widely.
"Yes, little Marquis, the Yu Dynasty is very hierarchical. You treat us so politely, which makes us feel ashamed and helpless." Zhang Xutuo also said in surprise.
Qin Hu bared his teeth and smiled: "I don't have any family background in my heart, and you also know my previous reputation. I am a bad boy in the capital, and everyone is shameless. I wish you didn't dislike me."
"Lao Gao is the first one to agree. I watched Brother Qin grow up. He has grown from a small soldier to today. I dare say that all the rumors in the past are false."
Gao Gao patted his chest: "My boss Gao even wanted to change his name for him. As the saying goes, a scholar dies for his confidant. From today on, I will be called Gao Shida."
"I am willing too." Sun Xuanya smiled.
Seeing that no one had any objections, Qin Hu immediately asked someone to pour wine and the six of them bowed eight times.
Qin Shubao and Luo Shixin really didn't expect that they, a small soldier, would commit suicide overnight. With such a big backer, they were even more happy.
However, Qin Hu then told them: "Brothers, Shixin, since we are brothers, I will tell you something important - the main army is about to be defeated, so we must prepare early."
Gao Shida said: "No way, our 300,000-strong army is overwhelming. With seven battles and seven victories, we are about to capture Pingjian City. Where is the reason for defeat?"
Everyone agreed.
Only Qin Shubao did not speak, lowering his head in thought.
"What do you think, Brother Qin?"
Qin Shubao said: "I don't have such a far-reaching view as the young marquis. I just feel too tired. I was just thinking about whether we would have the strength to attack the city if we really arrived at Pingyun City."
"If the soldiers and people of the Liaodong Kingdom unite as one and resist stubbornly, can we hold on for a month? Will we be able to withdraw by then?"
"They will definitely resist."
Qin Hu sneered: "Pingyuan City is surrounded by high mountains on three sides. The city tower is huge and impregnable. The scout said that the city tower is five feet high, the horse path is a hundred steps wide, and there are mountains of wooden gunners at the top of the city. The cannons alone can launch fifty kilograms of boulders."
There are a thousand stone machines, and this cannot be conquered in a short time."
"So brothers, after the army sets off tomorrow, you must obey my orders. I must build a new army in a short time to give the Liaodong dogs a head-on attack."
"Yes!" everyone said in unison.
