C386 Camp Visit

In the early morning of the next day, Wu Shan was already prepared to negotiate with the southwestern envoy.

Wu Shan was in the middle of a discussion with the Vice General Zhang when someone suddenly came outside the tent to report: General, the Southwest has come to seek an audience with the General.

Hearing this, Wu Shan and Vice General Zhang were puzzled.

The Vice General Zhang turned around and looked at Wu Shan. Frowning, he said to Wu Shan, "General Wu, this Southwest region is an important town on the border, it has always been different from other places. The Emperor has ordered for the military and government to be separated, and the Chief Executive has never been in contact with our military camp.

Wu Shan also had a face full of suspicion, as he did not know what exactly had happened.

He hesitated for a moment, turned around and looked at Side of table's censer, then nodded to Vice General Zhang and said: "It's still early, this general will first go see him, then we will go together to meet the Southwest Emissary."

As Wu Shan spoke, he turned around to retrieve his treasure sword that was hanging on the back of the chair, and started to walk out of the tent.

Just as Wu Shan was about to leave, Vice General Zhang suddenly called out to Wu Shan. He walked over quickly and cupped his hands in greeting, then spoke to Wu Shan with a stern expression: "General Wu, since you wish to meet Lord Thorn, then let this general accompany you."

The southwest was an important town at the border. In the past, when the General Liu Feng was still here, the military and political relations there had always been discordant. Vice General Zhang was worried that Wu Shan was young, and had not been in office for long, so he was not familiar with the local situation.

Wu Shan pondered for a moment, then extended his hand out and patted Vice General Zhang's shoulders. He smiled and nodded to him. This is good too, I just happen to not understand the local situation. If Lord Thorn were to speak of it, I would be relieved to have you by my side. "

Vice General Zhang nodded at Wu Shan, he extended his hand out and held onto the treasure sword in his hand tightly, then followed Wu Shan out of the tent.

"I heard that Wen Chen is the best at lying, all of them have the ability to spit lotus flowers, this time I want to personally go and see, see how Lord Thorn can turn black into white." Vice General Zhang muttered to himself as he walked, his entire face drooping.

Wu Shan turned his head and glanced at Vice General Zhang, then said to him with a smile: "Vice General Zhang, what are you talking about, talking to yourself like this?"

Hearing Wu Shan asking him, the Vice General Zhang immediately shook his head at Wu Shan, and smiled at him, "Nothing much."

Seeing that the Vice General Zhang was not willing to speak, Wu Shan did not continue asking, he nodded and continued to walk forward. Seeing that Wu Shan did not pursue the matter, Vice General Zhang heaved a sigh of relief.

If Wu Shan did not interrupt him just now, Vice General Zhang would have forgotten about him. Wu Shan's teacher was his grandfather's Old General Wu. If Wu Shan heard the argument he had just made, he would have to advise him to study more.

But the Vice General Zhang was really a barbarian, it was good for him to kill on the battlefield, if he had to hold onto that thin brush, it would be even harder than ascending to the heavens. In the past, Wu Shan would always remind the Vice General Zhang to teach him to read and write, but as time went on, it had no effect. Wu Shan also understood that he should teach others based on their aptitude, and thus, he did not want to continue forcing Vice General Zhang, so he did not say anymore.

When the two of them arrived at the large tent in front of the camp, they saw a person waiting inside.

Seeing that Wu Shan and the others had walked in, the man immediately stood up and bowed towards Wu Shan and Vice General Zhang.

"I believe this must be General Wu Shan Wu." The man walked over and smiled to Wu Shan, then bowed down and cupped his hands to Wu Shan: "This humble subject greets General Wu."

"This is Lord Shi Liu from the Southwest." Vice General Zhang stood at the side and whispered to Wu Shan.

Hearing Vice General Zhang's words, Wu Shan also quickly helped Lord Liu up, waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Master Liu, you absolutely cannot perform such a great courtesy. Master Liu, as the emperor's personal Patriarch of the Southwest, can be considered to be one of the envoys in charge of the territory. Even in the army camp, I am barely at the same level as Master Liu.

In the early days of General Liu Feng, he was one of the people who fought wars together with the Old General Wu, and he also guarded the southwest for dozens of years. He was swift and decisive and did not allow others to interfere in his opinions, so the military and political relations in the southwest were never good. Before he arrived at the military camp today, Southwest Thorns was really frightened, and he didn't know what sort of temperament this new General Wu had. Now that they saw each other, they realized that he was actually a gentle, refined, and elegant young master, they could not help but sigh in relief.

As Wu Shan invited Liu Ci Shi to his seat, he smiled and said: "I wonder what urgent matter Sir Liu has to attend to today?"

Seeing that Wu Shan was so straightforward, the Liu Ci Shi did not beat around the bush anymore. He cupped his hands towards Wu Shan and said, "This is General Wu's first time in the southwest. "The southwest is so remote that there is a shortage of materials. A few years ago, we couldn't even supply the salt in the household."

"As Liu Ci Shi spoke, he couldn't help but sigh. "A few years ago, the Emperor ordered the people of the Southwest to build a channel and transport salt from the south of the river. He ordered them to escort the soldiers who eat salt in the imperial court all the way to the Southwest in order to ensure that the people of the Southwest would be able to eat official salt s of equal value."

Wu Shan listened to the words of the Liu Ci Shi as he gently nodded his head. Back then, when I was still in the capital, I would often go to Young Prince Mu's residence to play. At that time, Prince Mu was in charge of salt transportation, and he was the one who oversaw the construction of the canal. So I've been through a lot, and I know about the situation. "

Liu Ci Shi nodded his head from the side. Wu Shan could not help but have some doubts. He lightly knitted his brows, turned around, and asked Liu Ci Shi in a low voice: "It's just that this matter concerns the Southwest of the world, and Lord Thorn is one of the leaders. He naturally should have full control over it.

After hearing Wu Shan's question, the Liu Ci Shi hurriedly walked down the stage and bowed towards Wu Shan before speaking respectfully, "General Wu, it is already spring and the salt distributed by the officials has already reached the dock. However, there are still not enough people in the yamen, so it is impossible for them to distribute so much salt to the common people. After all, the distribution of salt is related to the country. If there is any mishap, this official really cannot afford it. "
