When Qin Jie heard this, his expression froze, and he didn't know how to answer.

Refusing directly would certainly be bad and would easily offend Su Xuan.

But if he agreed, how would the merits be calculated then?

Su Xuan used mind-reading to read his thoughts at this moment and immediately continued: "Of course, I can give the merits of the new recruit camp helping you, my lord, suppress the rebellion to you, as long as you, my lord, provide them with grain and military equipment supplies during this period."

Using Qin Jie's money and grain to raise his own troops, isn't that very cost-effective?

Although he wasn't short of this money and grain, saving a little is still saving.

There will be many places to use money and grain in the future.

"Oh?"

When Qin Jie heard this, the tangled look on his face was swept away, and he asked excitedly: "Really?"

"Absolutely true!"

Su Xuan nodded affirmatively, but fearing that Qin Jie would mess around, he reminded and warned him: "But you, my lord, must not treat the lives of my 6,000 soldiers as nothing and assign them inappropriate tasks. Otherwise, I will be very unhappy."

He was afraid that Qin Jie would deliberately send the new recruit camp to fight for their lives and die, setting him up.

It is better to point this out in advance for such things.

"Haha! Naturally! Naturally!"

Qin Jie smiled sheepishly when he heard this and promised repeatedly: "I am not that kind of person! Then it is settled!"

"In addition, when you leave, Brother Su, I will send you another batch of grain and military equipment to help you rush to Yanzhou for support."

As long as Su Xuan's main force leaves, it will be fine.

As for the new recruit camp, Su Xuan had already said he didn't want the merits and only needed to provide grain and logistical supplies. What else was there to say?

It's a good thing!

He had also looked into Wen Pin. His strength had reached the peak of the Transformation Realm, and he understood military formations. His arrangement of troops and formations was not bad, clearly also a talent of a great general.

With such a person leading troops to help him, he would definitely be able to suppress the Nanyang rebellion more easily and thoroughly.

"Then many thanks for your support, my lord!"

Su Xuan smiled and toasted Qin Jie.

The next morning,

"My lord! Outside the mansion, a person claiming to be the head of the Zou family in Wancheng has submitted a visiting card to seek an audience, and he has also brought many valuables as gifts. Do you want to see him?"

Su Xuan had just finished his morning exercise when a personal guard ran over to report.

"Oh?"

Su Xuan was slightly stunned when he heard this: "The Zou family of Wancheng? I don't have any impression of this Zou family."

Jia Er, the leader of the intelligence guard on the side, immediately reminded him: "This Zou family is just a small noble family. Since the death of the previous head, this Zou family has not had any officials above the rank of County Magistrate. Currently, there are only a few minor officials in the clan, so it can be considered completely fallen!"

"I suppose they are seeking an audience this time because they think highly of you, my lord, and want to curry favor with you!"

The Secret Guard is responsible for external intelligence collection.

Over the past year or so, it has developed rapidly.

It has a relatively clear understanding of the intelligence here in Wancheng.

Jia Yi is responsible for Luoyang intelligence, while Jia Er has stayed by Su Xuan's side.

Of course, these names are just their code names in the Secret Guard, not their real names.

In intelligence work, it is better to hide one's real name.

"Is that so?"

Su Xuan nodded knowingly when he heard this and was about to say something.

At this time, the personal guard added cautiously: "My lord! That head of the Zou family also brought an extremely beautiful woman with him. According to his introduction, she is his daughter, named Zou Qian."

Stopping at the right point, the personal guard said no more.

"You brat!"

Su Xuan smiled and pointed at the personal guard when he heard this, saying angrily: "Could it be that in your heart, your young master is a lecher?"

This personal guard is a servant of the Su mansion and grew up with him, so Su Xuan is naturally very familiar with him.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have let him temporarily be responsible for the affairs of this Wancheng mansion.

"Hehe! This little one didn't think so!"

The personal guard immediately chuckled.

"Fine!"

Su Xuan shook his head and waved his hand: "Since you've said it to this extent, let's see them!"

"I want to see just how beautiful that Zou Qian is."

"Yes!"

The personal guard immediately retreated, and not long after, he brought the two of them in.

"Zou Chuan, head of the Zou family in Wancheng, along with my daughter Zou Qian, pays respects to Commandant Su! Please forgive me for the rash request for an audience!"

"This little girl Zou Qian pays respects to Commandant Su!"

When the Zou father and daughter saw Su Xuan, they were stunned for a moment, and then bowed together.

Zou Chuan thought in shock at this time: "Although I had heard that this Su Xuan was very young, only 17 years old, I didn't dare to believe it. Now it seems that it is indeed true!"

"And this Su Xuan has a good appearance and a good temperament!"

Zou Qian also stole a glance at Su Xuan with a slightly shy face, thinking: "General Su is so handsome! He is better looking than anyone I have ever seen, his temperament is also excellent, and his figure is tall and heroic. If I could really become his woman, that would be excellent."

Before, when she heard that her father wanted to take her to see the so-called Commandant Su, she was very reluctant!

Now, she just wanted to say: "It's so good!"

She wished she could immediately throw herself into General Su's arms.

She was now worried that Su Xuan wouldn't take a fancy to her.

"You two don't need to be so polite! Please rise quickly!"

Su Xuan saw the expressions of both of them, and even used mind-reading to read their thoughts;

Immediately, he understood, smiled, stood up to help them up, and then invited them to sit down.

At the same time, Su Xuan also took a look at Zou Qian, thinking: "She is indeed a beauty!"

If appearance and temperament were worth 100 points, this Zou Qian could score at least 94.

The key is that this woman is very alluring.

"Zou Qian, surnamed Zou, and she is from Wancheng. Could she be the Zou family who will be the wife of Zhang Ji in the future, causing Boss Cao to lose Dian Wei and Cao Ang?"

"But isn't this Zou family from Guzang, Wuwei, Liangzhou? How did they become from Wancheng, Nanyang?"

Su Xuan thought with some confusion.

He was 70-80% sure that this Zou Qian should be the future Zou family.

"It seems that in different worlds, there will still be differences in some details. I must take this as a warning in the future."

Su Xuan thought again.

However, this Zou family was indeed extremely beautiful, and he indicated that he had taken a fancy to her.

When Su Xuan looked at Zou Qian, Zou Qian happened to be stealing a glance at Su Xuan, and their eyes met immediately.

Zou Qian's pretty face turned red immediately, and she hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to look at Su Xuan, but she couldn't help but want to steal a glance at Su Xuan.

Zou Chuan, who had been paying attention on the side, saw the expressions of both of them and was overjoyed, thinking: "Perhaps, it's stable!"

This Su Xuan really couldn't resist his daughter's charm.

"I wonder why the head of the Zou family came to find me?"

After they sat down, Su Xuan asked.

When Zou Chuan heard this, he immediately stood up and bowed slightly again, saying bluntly: "First, to congratulate the general on his promotion, and second, because I feel that the general is young and heroic, and is a good match, but he is not yet married, so I want to let my daughter marry the general as a concubine. I wonder if the general is willing?"

Zou Chuan knew how much weight he had regarding the position of the main wife, and he had never counted on it.

In the past, with the family background of the Su family, the position of the main wife might have been possible.

But the Su Xuan of today is no longer the Su Xuan of a year ago.

With the family background of the Zou family, they are no longer worthy of Su Xuan, and asking for the position of a concubine is already climbing high.

If he wasn't very confident in his daughter's appearance, Zou Chuan wouldn't have come to lose this face.

Since his father passed away, the Zou family has completely fallen.

If he doesn't find a way to hug a big thigh, in a few years, they might completely fall into a humble family and be drowned in the tide of history.

This is absolutely not what Zou Chuan wants to see.

"Oh?"
