Chapter 222 Arrogance
Qin Sheng was quite dissatisfied at the moment, and blamed again: "Now that our Qin family is in such a predicament, you are still so close to a Yan countryman."
"I do not have."
Qin Yu retorted.
"Have you discussed it? If it's not convenient to talk today, then we can wait a few days and talk about it slowly."
At this time, Jiang Zuo spoke.
Qin Sheng still had a stern face, sighed secretly, and said to Jiang Zuo: "You promised to provide assistance to our Qin family. When can you deliver it at the earliest?"
"Please sit down first and let's talk slowly."
Jiang Zuo said calmly, trying to relax the tense atmosphere.
Qin Yu looked uneasy and sat down next to Jiang Zuo.
Qin Sheng frowned and sat down opposite Jiang Zuo.
Jiang Zuo personally poured a cup of tea for his son and said, "I can provide you with 3,000 pieces of armor, 3,000 pieces of various weapons, and some food. As for military expenses, it depends on whether you have the ability to achieve some results first."
As for weapons and armor, Jiangzuo has no shortage of these things thanks to the arsenal in Anding County in the rear.
But Jiang Zuo still felt quite distressed about the 100,000 taels of silver.
Qin Sheng said: "After all, you still don't trust us."
Look at this, it's like I just said a sentence.
Firstly, Jiang Zuo had never met Qin Sheng, so he couldn't open his heart to him on their first meeting. Secondly, Jiang Zuo had never seen how capable the Qin family was, so how could he really support them immediately?
Jiang Zuo was quite helpless at the moment, but for Qin Yu's sake, he couldn't say it out loud.
"I don't know what your plans are next. Tell me, maybe I can help you."
Jiang Zuo said calmly.
Qin Sheng was silent for a while, then he said: "As long as you provide us with weapons and food first, in ten days, our Qin family will recapture Zhucheng."
"Zhucheng?" Jiang Zuo recalled for a moment and remembered that this place was not far from Qishan and was the old territory of the Qin family. However, this Zhucheng did not seem to be a small city, but an important city.
"I don't agree with your attack on Zhucheng."
Jiangzuo Road.
"why?"
Qin Sheng frowned.
"Although you still have troops in your hands, you must not confront the Chen Kingdom's imperial army head-on. You should continue to stay in Qishan, develop your territory, continue to win over the people, occupy the rural areas around Qishan, and fight guerrilla warfare with the Chen Kingdom's imperial army."
Jiang Zuo said what was in his mind.
"If you say so, then don't we become bandits?"
Qin Sheng said disdainfully.
They fell into Qishan just to avoid being hunted down by the imperial army and had no intention of actually developing in the mountains.
Jiang Zuo added: "Now there are peasant uprisings in various parts of Chen State. You can use the prestige of the Qin family to gather these peasant armies, treat the people well, and start a people's war."
The Qin family's private soldiers have all been to the battlefield and are well-trained. If the Qin family's private soldiers cannot defeat the Chen court army, how can they count on that group of rebellious peasant soldiers?
Qin Sheng didn't take Jiang Zuo's words to heart at all. There was still a sense of pride in his heart.
"I don't quite agree with what you said. Although you are willing to help our Qin family, we don't have to obey your command."
Qin Sheng said with a cold and arrogant look.
"That's true. I don't mean to command you. I just want you to avoid making unnecessary sacrifices."
Jiang Zuo said calmly.
At this time, Qin Yu also said: "Brother, I also think what Jiang Zuo said makes sense, why not..."
"You have nothing to do here." Qin Sheng interrupted, "As a woman, you shouldn't be involved in these military operations. If you hadn't acted on your own before, we wouldn't have ended up like this."
Hearing his brother's accusation, Qin Yu's face showed a bit more guilt.
She had indeed made a mistake before and was separated from her family. If it weren't for Jiang Zuo, she would probably have been arrested by the Chen people.
Now that I'm reunited with my brother, I don't feel the joy of a long separation, but instead a sense of uneasiness and tension.
Looking at Qin Yu's lost face, Jiang Zuo shook his head helplessly.
It seems that the relationship between the two siblings is not very good.
"I still advise you not to attack Zhu City, otherwise you will lose more of the thousands of troops in your hands."
Jiang Zuo persuaded again.
Now, the best way for the Qin family is to use Qishan as a base and continue to expand their power.
Qin Sheng certainly would not listen to Jiang Zuo's words, and only said: "Within ten days, we will definitely be able to capture Zhucheng. When the time comes, don't forget what you promised us, the 100,000 taels of aid, as long as our Qin family takes back the land north of the Yangtze River in the future, we will definitely return it in full. If you, the Yan State, want to attack the Chen State, we will never obstruct it."
"Since you have made up your mind, I will never break my promise."
Jiang Zuo didn't want to dissuade him anymore.
If they have the ability, it would be fine to provide 100,000 in aid.
Qin Sheng said nothing more, stood up and prepared to leave.
"Third sister, are you going to leave?"
Qin Sheng stared at Qin Yu with the serious eyes of an elder.
Qin Yu shook his head and said nothing.
"Take care of yourself."
Qin Sheng's words seemed a little cold.
Since Qin Yu didn't want to leave, he didn't want to force her.
Perhaps leaving her in Yan State could also ensure her safety.
But no matter what, Qin Sheng didn't have any good feelings towards Jiang Zuo.
At this time, Shi, the chief steward behind Qin Sheng, came to Qin Yu, handed something to Qin Yu, and whispered, "Miss San, there is a map of Qishan in here. If you want to come to us in the future, just follow the instructions on the map. Don't worry, I will watch over the eldest young master. If there is any important news, I will inform Miss San as soon as possible."
Qin Yu's face was solemn. He took the map handed over by Manager Shi, nodded slightly, and said nothing.
"Miss San, take care of yourself." Manager Shi said, and then turned around and said, "Patrol Officer Jiang, I'm leaving."
"Take care. If you have anything important to tell me, you can always come to Jiangzhou City to find me. Master Guo, please see you off."
Jiang Zuo said, standing up and preparing to go and see them off.
"Then thank you, Inspector Jiang. You don't have to see me off."
Manager Shi responded politely and followed Qin Sheng.
Looking at Qin Yu who was sitting in a daze on the chair, Jiang Zuo asked, "Aren't you going to see your brother off?"
I thought that they would have a lot to talk about after meeting again after a long separation, but I didn't expect that they seemed a little bit unfamiliar.
There always seemed to be a hint of arrogance in Qin Sheng's eyes.
Qin Yu lay on the stone table, his eyes dull, and said unhappily: "Forget it, he doesn't seem to want to see me..."
Jiang Zuo also saw Qin Sheng's impatient expression and tone just now.
"Your eldest brother is quite serious and old-fashioned."
Jiang Zuo said.
"He has always been like this, since he was a kid."
Qin Yu slowly raised his head, with a hint of complaint in his tone.
Jiang Zuo patted her shoulder gently and said with a smile: "You look quite similar to your brother when you have a stern face."
Hearing this, Qin Yu blushed inexplicably and lowered her head.
