Wu Qianqiu sat up straight and said in a deep voice, "Mister Xu, why are you here on behalf of Emperor Xia?"
Xu Chongwen did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point, "Master Wu, I'm here because Emperor Xia defeated Prince Nan. Prince Nan fled all the way back to the capital. Now, Emperor Xia has broken through Fufeng Pass and is coming to the Southern Kingdom. Emperor Xia is merciful and doesn't want to kill more. He hopes that all places will submit to him. "
"As long as all places submit, everyone's past will be forgiven. In addition, Emperor Xia will also reward you one by one according to your merits. "
"This is the benefit given by the king."
"The king doesn't know much about the Southern Kingdom, but I was born in the Southern Kingdom, so I know Master Wu's influence in the Southern Kingdom. When it comes to influence among merchants, Master Wu is at the top. Even in the officialdom, Master Wu is deeply rooted and has connections with many officials. "
"To put it bluntly, in the Southern Kingdom, Master Wu is at the top of the list when it comes to human relationships."
Xu Chongwen took the lead and praised, "So I came to see Master Wu for the first time, hoping to get your help. With Patriarch Wu's help, the State of Great Xia will be invincible in the Southern Nation. "
After Wu Qianqiu heard this, he thought in his heart.
Xia Xia's strength was indeed strong.
In just a few years, he had developed to this point. It was not simple.
Wu Qianqiu still had some doubts about the battle at the front line. He stroked the beard under his chin and did not answer for the time being. He said, "Mister Xu, I still have some doubts. Please elaborate."
Xu Chongwen said, "Master Wu, go ahead."
Wu Qianqiu said, "The Southern Kingdom and Xia Xia at the front line have been in a stalemate. The Southern Kingdom army even had the advantage. Why had the situation suddenly changed so drastically, and the Southern Empire was about to collapse? In fact, Wang Tan even retreated. "
Xu Chongwen chuckled and continued, "That's simple enough. The original war was presided over by General Yan San of Xia Xia, and they were not equipped with the most elite weapons. Later, Emperor Xia personally led the army and was equipped with the latest weapons. "
"Xia Xia's latest weapons can accurately shoot people from two to three hundred steps away. Moreover, it can be shot directly. "
"This is Xia Xia's latest weapon."
"The existence of this weapon caused the Southern Empire's army to collapse like a landslide. Because of this, Wang Tan had no choice but to withdraw his troops. Even after Wang Tan withdrew to Fufeng Pass, he did not stay to guard it. Instead, he directly withdrew. "
"In fact, the overall combat strength of the entire Xia Xia is at the top of the Southern Empire. Apart from that, Xia Xia's weapons were also stronger than Nan Guo's. Therefore, when the two countries fought, the Southern Empire was no match for them. "
Xu Chongwen continued, "This is the general situation. That's because Wang Tan doesn't have the confidence to fight back at all. Although his soldiers aren't bad, their weapons are completely suppressed. Once he gets on the battlefield, he's at a disadvantage everywhere. He can't block at all. "
After Wu Qianqiu finished listening, he sighed and said, "Looks like the mandate of heaven is in Xia Xia!"
Xu Chongwen said, "Master Wu has never met Emperor Xia, so you don't know of his wisdom and martial prowess. When you meet Emperor Xia, you'll know that the mandate of heaven is in Xia Xia as you said. Emperor Xia is wise and martial prowess. He has a big heart and a big plan. To serve Emperor Xia, this is a rare opportunity. Master Wu, I've explained the general situation clearly. I've said it clearly and clearly. As for the specifics, whether you're willing or not, that's your business. What I can be sure of is that if you don't serve Emperor Xia now, you'll regret it eventually. "
Wu Qianqiu flicked his sleeves and said, "Mister Xu, I'll obey the heavens and serve Emperor Xia. But what benefits can I get from serving Emperor Xia? Indeed, Emperor Xia is the mandate of heaven, but my Wu family has to turn to Emperor Xia. Especially now that Prince Nan has enough strength, if I want to pledge my allegiance at this time and plan for Emperor Xia, there must be benefits. "
Xu Chongwen smiled and said, "Master Wu is right. There should be benefits, of course there's a need. There's nothing much to say about this. May I ask Master Xu, what benefits do you need? "
Wu Qianqiu was an old fox.
When it came to conditions, he could not take the initiative to express his opinion. He could not be in a hurry to express his thoughts.
Wu Qianqiu said, "Mister Xu, what benefits can you give?"
Xu Chongwen said, "Master Wu, I'm here today with sincerity. In addition, Master Wu is willing to pledge allegiance to Emperor Xia. With this premise, we are people on the same battlefront, people on the same boat. Why do we have to play tricks? "Li Yao thought." That's right. Whatever benefits you want, just say it. I can fully represent Emperor Xia. This is the promise that Emperor Xia gave me before I left. "
Wu Qianqiu's eyes flashed and said, "If that's the case, then I won't decline."
Xu Chongwen said, "Just say it!"
Wu Qianqiu said, "My conditions are simple. Now that I've brought the Wu family to pledge allegiance to Emperor Xia, the governor of Nanzhou will be someone from the Wu family. As long as there's this condition, the Wu family will serve Emperor Xia without hesitation. "
After Xu Chongwen heard it, he carefully thought about it.
The former Nanzhou of Nanzhou was not small. The governor of Nanzhou was equivalent to the governor of a region. Of course, the current Nanzhou had annexed a few states and its strength had increased.
Taking out a state in exchange for the Wu family's allegiance was actually more cost-effective.
Xu Chongwen said, "Master Wu, I can approve your conditions on behalf of Emperor Xia. But I still have a condition. "
Wu Qianqiu said, "What condition?"
Xu Chongwen said, "There's no problem with the Wu family's people being the governor of Nanzhou. However, if they don't live up to their name and are not competent, they don't have the ability to govern a state. Then, Emperor Xia will definitely replace them. If you want to govern a state, you must have the ability to govern a state. If you can't do this, everything will be in vain. No matter how much power you give, it will only harm others and harm yourself. There's no benefit. "
On Wu Qianqiu's old face, there was a smile. He promised, "Mister Xu, I promise that the Wu family's people will benefit the people and the Nanzhou will be governed well. If they can't even do this, the Wu family will be at Emperor Xia's disposal. After all, after the Wu family's people take up the position, they still want to go one step further and enter the center of Emperor Xia. If they arrange for a person who only knows how to plunder benefits to take up the position, it's short-sighted and self-destructive. "
Xu Chongwen also smiled and praised, "Clan Head Wu is wise and farsighted. I admire you."
Wu Qianqiu said, "Mister Xu, you will stay in my residence for now. Next, I will quickly arrange and send people to lobby. In addition, we are also preparing to pledge our allegiance to Emperor Xia. "
Xu Chongwen said, "I will listen to Master Wu. I estimate that Emperor Xia will arrive at Duo Ge County soon. At that time, you can personally meet Emperor Xia. "
Wu Qianqiu said, "Then we will wait and see."
Xu Chongwen's face was full of smiles and he was happy.
It was done.
With Wu Qianqiu's pledge of allegiance, the next step would be to continue to the capital of the Southern Kingdom. It would be easy to even seize the Southern Kingdom. After all, Wu Qianqiu's power was too strong.
