Chapter 403: Visitors from Kawato Prefecture
Chapter 403: Visitors from Kawato Prefecture
Just as those warlords were sitting together, all scowling and racking their brains to think of a countermeasure, suddenly, a hurried sound of footsteps came from afar.
Then, a soldier hurried in, saluted everyone, and reported loudly, "Report to the Marshal! Someone outside wants to see you!"
Hearing this news, Zhao Yousong, who was sitting in the first seat, frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice, "Did the other party reveal his identity?"
The soldier quickly replied, "General, he just said he came from Kawato Prefecture."
As soon as these words were spoken, the originally noisy meeting room suddenly became silent.
The expressions of those warlords couldn't help but tremble. They exchanged glances with each other, and seemed to be very surprised and wary of this sudden visitor.
You know, Kawato Prefecture is nominally the superior organization of these warlords, and it has absolute authority to rule and command them.
However, the current situation is turbulent and wars are frequent in various places.
These warlords who commanded large armies no longer obeyed the orders issued by the Kawato Prefecture, and each of them acted on their own and ruled their own territories.
How could they not become suspicious when a man claiming to be from Kawato Prefecture suddenly appeared?
Wang Wenbo frowned and said slowly, "Chuandu Prefecture actually sent people here at this critical moment, what exactly are they planning?
Could it be that they want to recruit us? This is not easy to deal with!"
Liu Changqing on the side touched his chin and said after thinking for a moment.
"If it is true as you said, that Marshal Jiang wants to accept us, then for the current situation, it may be a good thing.
After all, no matter what, he represents the orthodox institution of our Tianlong Country, and we still have to be under his jurisdiction.
We are now in a big conflict with the National Salvation Army. What if he could mediate?
Then this dispute will no longer be just a matter between us and the National Salvation Army, but will turn into a head-on conflict between the Kawato Prefecture Group and the National Salvation Army.
In this way, we can breathe a sigh of relief and get out of this mess. However, we still need to carefully consider the pros and cons of this. "
Warlord Xu Yingzhi said with a determined look, "In my opinion, instead of going to Chuandu Prefecture, we might as well go there all at once and surrender directly to the National Salvation Army!
Just think about it, the National Salvation Army is now in its heyday, and its momentum is at its peak!
If the current situation continues to develop, they will be the only ones who can eventually unify the Tianlong Kingdom!
So, if we quickly join them now, perhaps we can even make a contribution to their cause!
By then, wouldn't wealth, honor, and high office be within easy reach?"
At this moment, another warlord, Sun Fakui, could no longer hold back and quickly interrupted, "Brother Xu, what you said makes sense.
But isn't it too late for us to think about joining the National Salvation Army now?
You know, after all, we supported the Ma family army, and as a result, caused a lot of casualties to the National Salvation Army. They must have hatred towards us in their hearts!
Even if we ran over and surrendered now, even if they were reluctant to accept us.
I'm afraid that at most they would give us an insignificant and sinecure to let us get by and live out our days, but there is absolutely no chance that we would be entrusted with any important tasks!
But what if we turn to Chuandu Prefecture? Then the situation will be completely different!
Judging from the way Kawato Prefecture does things, as long as we submit sincerely, we will definitely be highly valued and treated generously by them!
Of course, the above are just my personal opinions. As for how to choose, it is up to you to make your own decision! "
Zhao Yousong took a deep breath and then slowly said, "Don't underestimate yourselves here, why not meet the person sent by Chuandu Prefecture first before making a decision.
After all, he may not have come here just to persuade us to surrender to Chuandu Prefecture!
All matters will be known after meeting the person from Chuandu Prefecture."
After saying that, Zhao Yousong turned his head slightly, his eyes fell on a soldier beside him, and gave instructions earnestly.
"You must go quickly and bring the people from Chuandu Prefecture here. There must be no mistakes."
Upon hearing this, the soldier hurriedly bowed and said, "Yes, sir!" Then he turned around and strode away to carry out the task assigned by Zhao Yousong.
Not long after, the soldier led the people from Kawato Prefecture and walked quickly to the crowd.
The visitor was wearing a well-cut and fine-textured suit, the style of which was both fashionable and dignified.
Judging from his appearance, this man is about thirty-five or thirty-six years old, with an upright posture and steady steps.
His face had clear contours, and his eyes were bright under a pair of sword-like eyebrows, but there was a hint of imperceptible cunning in his sharp gaze.
The visitor bowed slightly to everyone with a smile on his face, and said politely, "My dear officers, it is an honor to meet you today!"
Zhao Yousong, who was standing in front of the crowd, saw this and took the lead in asking, "I wonder what exactly brings you here?"
After hearing this, the man raised his lips slightly, revealing a faint smile and responded, "Chief Zhao is indeed a straightforward person!
In that case, I won’t beat around the bush any more.
Our Marshal Jiang is fully aware of the situation you are in now and the situation you are facing.
At present, the National Salvation Army is in its heyday and is the only powerful force.
If we don't unite and respond together, I'm afraid that in the end all of us will become passers-by in the long river of history and be completely forgotten.
So, this time, I am entrusted with an important task by the Marshal.
I have come here specially to sincerely persuade all the superiors to officially join the Kawato Prefecture, so that we can work together to overcome the difficulties!
As long as you formally join our Kawato Prefecture, we will immediately send someone to the National Salvation Army to initiate negotiations.
At that time, this will no longer be just a dispute between you and the National Salvation Army, but will become something that our Kawato Prefecture will handle in accordance with established policies.
Perhaps you don't know yet about the other generals who command the armies in the southern region.
They have long chosen to join our Kawato Prefecture, and together they have formed a large-scale and powerful alliance.
So, regarding whether or not to join Kawato Prefecture, I hope you can carefully weigh the pros and cons before making the final decision! "
After hearing these words, several warlords fell silent involuntarily, with their brows furrowed in thought.
Their minds are as clear as a mirror.
If he chooses to join Kawato Prefecture, with his current strength and influence, he will certainly be able to continue to sit firmly in a high position and hold great power.
However, the future situation is unpredictable, and there are too many unknown factors hidden in it.
How the final outcome will develop is difficult to predict and full of uncertainty.
But what if I switch to the National Salvation Army?
Although they may not be as respected as they are in their own territory.
But there is a great possibility that you will live a rich and stable life from now on and enjoy your life.
After all, the National Salvation Army is now strong and powerful, and it is very likely that it will unify the Tianlong Kingdom.
At this moment, these warlords were like standing at a crossroads in their lives, torn and not knowing what to do.
