"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 223
Chen Ziang was looking at the map by candlelight, while Guo Yijian was drinking tea, looking restless.
Guo Yijian raised his head to peek at Chen Ziang from time to time, but he didn't see any change on Chen Ziang's face, he was still looking down at the map, which made him very frustrated.
He doesn't know what Chen Ziang is thinking now, Chen Ziang is like a dark and deep starry sky, which makes him unpredictable.
"General Chen, I am willing to serve under your command and do my best. I wonder if General Chen is willing to accept me?"
In the quiet and depressing atmosphere, Guo Yijian felt really depressed, and finally broke the silence by speaking first.
Hearing that Guo Yijian couldn't help but speak, Chen Ziang's mouth curled into an imperceptible smile, and then he slowly raised his head.
"Mr. Guo, you came from a wealthy family. You have been promoted to a general at a young age. Now you suddenly want to join my rebel army. I really don't understand why? Can you give me a reasonable explanation? ?"
Chen Ziang was very grateful to Guo Yijian for saving them when they were in danger, but he still had doubts about whether to accept Guo Yijian.
?Because Guo Yijian came from a wealthy family, he deliberately let himself go to survive, and wanted to join him, but he actually didn't trust him.
If there is no reasonable explanation, it is tantamount to putting a powder keg by your side. Who knows when it will explode?
Facing Chen Ziang's deep gaze, countless reasons flashed through Guo Yijian's mind instantly.
But he knew that no matter how perfect these reasons were, they would not be able to fool Chen Ziang, and would only make him less trusted.
"To tell you the truth, general, I was ordered by my family to deliberately let the general live, and at the same time join the general's command." After taking a deep breath, Guo Yijian decided to tell the truth.
"oh?"
After hearing this, Chen Ziang was also surprised and even more puzzled.
"Our Guo family has been passed down for thousands of years. The main branch of the Guo family has long since disappeared in the dust of history, but our branch will rise again. No matter how the court changes, our Guo family will always have a place, and the incense will continue to be passed on. .¡±
"Now that the court is troubled by internal and external troubles, the family feels that it has slipped into redress, so they plan ahead and select some children to practice in various places. They also hope that no matter what happens to the court in the future, my Guo family will continue to live forever."
Guo Yijian didn't hide the slightest thing. He told the special inheritance method of the Guo family, which made Chen Ziang admire the Guo family. No wonder it can stand for thousands of years.
Because they always bet everywhere, although most of the time they will fail to bet, but there are always successes.
Unlike some families who are desperate, even if they can be prosperous for a while, after a few generations, it is a matter of time before they fall.
"The family sent you to our army, what explanation do you have?"
Chen Ziang stared at Guo Yijian, hoping to get some useful information from him.
"The family will let me assist the general with all my strength, and I will compete in the world in the future!" Guo Yijian replied.
After hearing this, Chen Ziang couldn't help laughing, he didn't expect the Guo family to act so boldly.
Many members of their family still hold important positions in the imperial court, but they have sent countless children to the rebel army in an attempt to overthrow the imperial court.
"Aren't you afraid that the court will find out and destroy your clan?" Chen Ziang asked.
Guo Yijian shook his head: "The Guo family's influence is deeply rooted now, if the court moves, it will be a deadly situation, the court will only perish faster, and even if the court destroys the main line of the Guo family, the Guo family will never be able to destroy the family. "
Seeing the confident Guo Yijian, Chen Ziang suddenly felt that this Guo family was really not simple, and made people look down upon him.
Dealing with such a powerful and calculating family, Chen Ziang also felt that it was too dangerous, and he might be sold at any time.
Perhaps seeing Chen Ziang's worries, Guo Yijian had no choice but to continue explaining, hoping to gain Chen Ziang's trust.
"General Chen, I have left the family now, and death, honor and disgrace have nothing to do with the family. From now on, I will lead the charge under the command of the general and have no second thoughts!" Guo Yijian patted his chest and promised.
"What if you met someone from your Guo family on the battlefield?"
"Everyone is their master, just kill them."
Chen Ziang kept staring at Guo Yijian, seeing his answer without hesitation, he also believed his words.
"You were sent by your family to join our army, but I, Chen Ziang, don't like people to put eyeliners around me." Chen Ziang said.
After hearing this, Guo Yijian's heart skipped a beat, thinking that it was because Chen Ziang didn't accept him.
"However, I, Chen Ziang, am not an ungrateful person. For the sake of saving our lives, I will give you a chance to start as a small soldier. What will happen in the future depends on your own performance. If you don't want to do it, you can leave now."
If it had been before meeting Chen Ziang, Guo Yijian would still have been resistant to joining the rebel army.
But seeing Chen Ziang's troops just now, and now seeing Chen Ziang again, he has made a decision in his heart.
"General, I am willing to stay." Guo Yijian said sincerely.
Chen Zi'ang thought for a while and said: "Well, I'll accept you, but I'll say something ugly first, if you do something wrong to Pao Ze and me in the future, I will definitely kill you!"
"Thank you, General!"
Guo Yijian also hurriedly thanked Chen Ziang when he saw Chen Ziang accepting him.
Guo Yijian also knew that it was a test for Chen Ziang to start him as a soldier, but he had no choice now.
Because if he goes back now, not only the court will hold them accountable, but the family will also kill him in order to cover up the truth.
Chen Ziang didn't fully trust Guo Yijian. When he asked Li Changqing to arrange their camping, he specifically asked someone to keep an eye on them.
"General, what if this Guo Yijian is a nail embedded in our army by the imperial court?"
When they learned that Chen Ziang had accepted Guo Yijian, Zhou Ba and Fatty Lu were also very puzzled.
Because after all, Guo Yijian used to be a member of the imperial court and a member of the Guo family, so what's the matter with joining their rebel army now.
"The imperial court could have wiped us out, so why bother to let us go and insert another nail?" Chen Ziang asked with a smile.
Fatty Lu nodded: "That's true."
Chen Ziang said: "He let us live, and we also learned the favor."
"Besides, their Guo family is nothing more than wanting to continue the blood of the incense, and we will not conflict with our overthrow of the imperial court and the creation of a peaceful and prosperous world. Why should we keep people out?"
"However, I always feel that he is from a wealthy family, and we are all from peasants and bandits"
"If our team wants to grow and become stronger, we can't rely on us alone. We have to constantly recruit heroes and scholars who can read and write."
"Guo Yijian was born in a wealthy family and served as a general in the dynasty's army. He knows everything about the dynasty. We can also get a lot of useful things from him. Knowing ourselves and the enemy will win every battle."
"And if he sincerely joins us, then we have also set an example, that is, recruiting talents without sticking to one pattern, we can tolerate the generals of the Dynasty Army, and we can naturally recruit those who have insight. If they are tolerant, they will naturally vote one after another." (Remember this website website: www.hlnovel.com
