Rebirth of The Deer and the Cauldron, Wei Xiaobao Becomes a God

Suo Etu smiled and said, "General Zhu, to be honest, I came here to discuss some things with your army. The situation in Jiangnan is chaotic now. Many of your soldiers were originally from the Fujian Navy and the Han Camp. Now the court wants to recruit your army to fight against the rebels together to ensure the peace of the people in Jiangnan."

Zhu Youli heard this, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he still bowed and said: "Thank you for your kindness, Lord Suo, but we have already surrendered to the Tiandi Army and are now a member of the Tiandi Army. We really cannot accept the amnesty. I hope Lord Suo will forgive me."

Suo Etu's face changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and continued to persuade: "General Zhu, the imperial army is about to march south to quell the rebellion. If your troops can return to the imperial court at this time, they will definitely be given important positions. Moreover, as long as your troops are willing to surrender, the imperial court can forgive the past and give you the most generous rewards."

Zhu Youli smiled calmly, then shook his head firmly and said, "Lord Suo, we are deeply indebted to the Tiandi Army and have no second thoughts. Moreover, the Tiandi Army advocates equality and freedom, opposes oppression and exploitation, and is deeply loved by the people. We are determined to follow the Tiandi Army and seek the welfare of the people of the world. I hope Lord Suo will not embarrass us."

Suo Etu sighed helplessly, knowing that it would be futile to persuade him any further, so he changed the subject and asked, "General Zhu, in this case, can you tell us what your plan is here?"

Zhu Youli smiled and replied, "Don't worry, Lord Suo. We have no ill intentions. We just want to protect the people of Jiangnan and prevent the Western devils from invading China. We will leave once the situation stabilizes."

Suo Etu nodded, showing his understanding. Suo Etu frowned, and sighed in his heart: "What is the origin of this Tiandi Army? They have attracted so many Han people to join them... It seems that we need to take a long-term plan to deal with them."

At this time, Jiang Dazhi, the regiment commander standing nearby, knew the title of Soetu's eldest son, so he whispered Soetu's identity to Zhu Youli.

When Zhu Youli heard this, he felt a little contemptuous in his heart. This old man was really dishonest. Such a high-ranking official claimed to be the leader of the Jiangnan Han Camp, but he did not expose him. He continued, "Sir Suo, how many people are there on the tower? Come down. We are all Chinese. We are one family and we should unite to deal with the Western red-haired devils."

"General Zhu, you said it very well. Chinese people don't fight against Chinese people. We should be united against foreign aggressors. We should be united against foreign aggressors..." Soetu was really moved this time. He didn't expect that a general of the rebel army could have such awareness. He was sincerely happy.

Then he said to Li Chengdong and He Yu beside him: "Give instructions, gather together, be alert, don't embarrass the court!"

"Lord Suo, the emperor forbids you to have any friendship with Wei Xiaobao. Look at this..." He Yu said cautiously.

"It's okay, come with me, I'll take care of anything that happens!" Suo Etu frowned, but still answered firmly. Then, he turned around and walked towards the city wall without hesitation.

At this moment, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded: "Lord He, your emperor can't tell who is friends with whom?"

Hearing this voice, Suo Etu was startled and looked in the direction of the voice. He saw Wei Xiaobao standing between the two beauties, with a sly smile on his face and his eyes fixed on him.

He Yu also noticed Wei Xiaobao, and his face instantly turned red. He thought to himself: "At such a long distance, how could he hear me speaking so softly? Could it be that he has become an immortal?"

Faced with Wei Xiaobao's sudden appearance, He Yu felt very confused and puzzled.

However, Soetu immediately became excited and shouted loudly: "Oh! My brother Wei, you are really not dead? It's so good that you are not dead, so good! It's a pity that all those tears I shed were in vain!" As he said that, he quickened his pace and hurried down the city wall.

When Soetu walked up to Wei Xiaobao, he excitedly gave Wei Xiaobao a big hug.

"Alas, Master Suo, I haven't seen you for a few years and you have grown old again. You must have married a few concubines and don't know how to be restrained! Brother, lust is like a knife hanging over your head. It costs money and hurts your health. It's important to take care of yourself!"

Wei Xiaobao laughed and teased Soetu. Soetu naturally understood that Wei Xiaobao was joking, so he laughed too.

"Ha, hahahaha..." They both laughed out loud at the same time.

After the two laughed, Fu Lata and Li Chengdong came forward, bowed to Wei Xiaobao and said, "I, Fu Lata (Li Chengdong), pay my respects to Lord Wei and thank you for saving Shanghai from danger."

"Okay, okay, we are all Chinese, we are one family, one family." Wei Xiaobao said with a smile.

He Yu stood aside without saying anything, but Wei Xiaobao would never let him go, so he deliberately said, "The Minister of War, Lord He, is here too. Why are you looking so sad? It's just that we recruited some soldiers from your Han camp. It's a little petty to hold a grudge over such a small matter." After saying that, he turned around and asked Suo Etu, "Is Lord He a little petty?"

Suo Etu naturally knew that there was a conflict between Wei Xiaobao and He Yu, but he couldn't express his opinion directly, so he could only laugh and say: "Alas, Lord Wei, Lord He is also thinking about the public. We are all officials appointed by the court, why bother about these things?"

Wei Xiaobao sneered and said, "For the public good? I don't think so. Some people are narrow-minded and only think about their own interests without considering the overall situation."

After hearing what Wei Xiaobao said, He Yu's face became even uglier. Although he was angry, he did not dare to offend Wei Xiaobao easily. After all, Wei Xiaobao was now the commander of the Tiandi Army and had a large number of troops under his command. He had no choice but to swallow his anger and said, "Sir Wei is right. I will pay attention in the future and not make the same mistake again."

Wei Xiaobao looked at He Yu's aggrieved look, and felt secretly happy, thinking that if you go against me, I will show you how to deal with you. However, he still pretended to be magnanimous and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, we are all Chinese, and we must cooperate with each other in the future to resist foreign insults. Don't be awkward anymore."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and the small disturbance was settled. However, the conflict between Wei Xiaobao and He Yu was not really resolved, and their fight had just begun.

At this time, a staff officer hurried over, saluted Brigade Commander Zhu, and reported loudly: "Report to the Brigade Commander, the battle report statistics have been released. Our army sank 32 enemy ships, killed about 3,600 enemy sailors and gunners, killed 1,323 enemy marines, and captured 2,172 enemy marines. Our army has two seriously injured, 39 slightly injured, and no deaths. Now I ask how to deal with the prisoners."

When Soetu and others heard the battle report, they were stunned by the fighting effectiveness of the Tiandi Army!
