A moment later, Mu Yangren, a dog-headed military advisor dressed as a Taoist priest, arrived on horseback. With a gray and defeated face, he bowed his hand to Arslan and asked in a low voice, "What does the master want from me? We are about to start a war with the enemy."
It’s better not to change the deployment easily..."
"Of course it's a very important matter!" Als frowned, thinking that he was useful at the moment, so he didn't care too much, "It's just a caravan, and you don't need it. I'm too nervous. The governor suddenly
I feel that after slaughtering these fat sheep, our team will need to add more manpower! What do you think?"
As he spoke, he kept glancing in the direction of his allies on the left and right sides. Unexpectedly, Military Advisor Mu, who was always good at figuring out what was going on, was surprisingly slow to react today. He followed Arslan's gaze for a while before turning around.
Overlooking it, he murmured in response: "If we can raise enough money and food, we should expand the team. But..."
"Don't tell me those useless nonsense!" He wanted to hear some flattery but didn't hear it. Arslan felt a little angry in his heart, swung his whip hard and ordered grimly, "The governor has made a decision. You
All we have to do is find a way to get things done! Man, I want it. But it’s best if they hand over the team obediently, lest everyone fall apart and everyone is in trouble in the end!”
Mu Yangren instinctively ducked back, his face becoming increasingly gloomy. After pondering for a long time, he said quietly: "If the boss insists on doing this, someone here has a ready-made idea. But if it gets spread,
, it will inevitably ruin the reputation of the master!"
Arslan frowned and was very tired of Mu Daoren's verbosity, "Reputation is of no use! Who among them has a better reputation, Juche Bishi, Asilanda, or that Bolber?"
If the idea works, I will benefit from you in the future!"
Mu Yangren hesitated for a moment, sighed, and added in a low voice, "In that case, when it comes to 'killing the sheep,' why should the boss ask the brothers to move slower! None of the eyeliners who can step on the plate can come back.
The strength of our caravan will definitely not be too weak. Let us first design a handful of sand so that when the snow is strong, Old Beifeng and Daopaliu will rush up desperately, hurting their muscles and bones. Then the boss will use the help of
In the name of taking care of the lottery number, we invite them to come to our place to rest. By then, I’m afraid even if they don’t want to go, they won’t have the guts to shirk it!”
This idea is indeed sinister enough, but it seems a bit too wishful thinking. After all, the bosses of the other four groups of horse thieves were also rolled out from the tip of a knife, so there is no way they are not wary at all! Arslan considered it for a moment, and then whispered
Asked: "Are they willing to jump into such an obvious trap? Once they see it, won't it delay the Governor's serious business?!"
"The boss also said just now that the opponent is just a caravan, no matter how strong it is, how strong can it be?" Mu Yangren cupped his hand and used Arslan's own words as an explanation, "Besides, those four people are all poor.
Crazy. As long as the boss makes an agreement with them in advance, whoever breaks through the caravan’s defense circle first will have the right to share 70% of the goods. How can they be willing to fall behind us?"
"Ha, this is a good idea!" Arslan was so happy that he waved the whip up and down in his hand, almost hitting Mu Yangren's eyes. "Okay, okay, I will invite them here to make an agreement. You
, just keep busy with whatever you need to do!"
"Yes!" Military advisor Mu Yangren straightened his robes, bowed deeply to Arslan, and then slowly turned the horse's head.
"Why are you giving me such a solemn gift when you have nothing to do?" Arslan was stunned by the other party and scolded with a smile, "You bastard, don't you feel that you can't bear it? Haha, if you can't bear it, why do you do it again?
You gave me such an insidious idea?!"
Military advisor Mu Yangren seemed not to have heard what he said. He hunched over and slowly walked back to the rear. The Taoist robe embroidered with a flame pattern looked particularly dirty at this moment. "This stinking stick!" Arslan said again.
He cursed in a low voice and muttered with curled lips, "It's only been a few days since I whipped you, but your tail is already up. Wait until the governor has cleaned up those miscellaneous things, and then I'll think of ways to punish you!"
"
Having scolded you enough, he took it upon himself to invite the leaders of the other four groups of horse thieves to come and discuss the matter. He pretended that I was determined to defeat you all, and forced everyone to agree that whoever breaks through the caravan's defense circle first would get the points.
The condition was 70% of the goods. When the other big bosses who came to help heard this, they immediately started making a fuss and yelled at Arslan for not following the rules.
"Rules? If I hadn't thought that we are all colleagues, I wouldn't have dragged you to make a fortune together!" Arslan curled his lips and sneered loudly, "Okay, just follow the rules, whoever contributes more will get it.
Big Boss, I have 1,500 brothers under my command, and all of them have first-class skills. Look at what you are carrying under your hands. You know, you are here to help me.
For those who don’t know, it’s because a group of beggars came to enjoy the autumn wind!”
“This road has been deserted for more than half a year!”
"So what if there are too many people? The worst we can do is break up. I won't serve you any more, so you can go with the caravan on your own!"
Everyone was angry and yelling. But they had to admit in their hearts that their own strength was indeed far behind Arslan.
"Okay, didn't you say that you come according to the rules? According to the rules, I, the Governor, are the host, and you are the guests. According to the rules, I, the Governor, have more people, and you have fewer people. Therefore, I will divide the goods 70%, and how many of you have?
What to say? Humph, I kindly gave you the opportunity to share more mutton, but you still take my kindness as a donkey’s liver and lungs..." Arslan had already made a plan in his mind, pretending to be angry and arguing with the other party.
.
Several big bosses argued with each other for a long time, but they still couldn't get a clue. Sha Qianchi, the leader of a handful of sands, couldn't hold it anymore, gritted his teeth, and said loudly: "Okay, just do it your way."
Come. But whoever breaks the caravan’s defensive circle first will be divided into 60% at most. You can tell me whether you want to do it or not. If it doesn’t work, Sha will rather leave immediately and stop serving!"
"Yes, Mr. Huang has this idea too!" Huang Wanshan, the leader of Xuedawang, always shared his anger with Sha Qianli. Seeing that his good friend was really ready to give up the fight, he also agreed with his voice.
Arslan was clearly happy in his heart, but he still had a very unwilling look on his face, "Even if everyone doesn't prioritize, I should give 50% to my side. I am kind-hearted..."
"
"Bah! If you had good intentions, all the wild wolves in the desert would become living Arhats!" Old Beifeng's leader Sejirahu spat on the ground and interrupted with a sneer, "Maximum 60%! Do it!"
Don’t do it? If you don’t do it, I’ll be defeated!”
Seeing that everyone was defeated one after another, Hua Shisan, the leader of the uprooting willow, did not want to fight to the end alone. He smiled and said in a low voice, "Even if we take advantage of you? Your Arslan family has a big business, why bother?
Are you arguing with poor people like us?! Just 60%, anyway, put your flag in the center of the caravan first!"
"That's not guaranteed. Who can predict everything clearly in advance about the war!" Arslan took advantage of it and responded angrily. "Sixty percent is sixty percent, who asked me to treat you as friends?
! As agreed, after I give the order, everyone will rush forward together. No one is allowed to be the first!"
"Okay, okay. Everything is as you said!" Sha Qianli looked at his good friend Huang Wanshan and sneered.
Huang Wanshan didn't think highly of Arslan in the first place, but now he felt that Arslan's image was even more dirty, so he simply turned around and left without saying a word.
"Why are you leaving? We haven't sworn an oath yet!" Arslan was so anxious that he galloped after him for a few steps and shouted loudly.
"Except you, Arslan, who among us has the guts to violate what everyone has agreed upon?" Sha Qianli sneered a few more times, then rode across Arslan to chase his good friend Huang Wanshan.
Arslan was always pretending to avoid being seen by everyone. After hearing Sha Qianli's ridicule, he took advantage of the situation and pulled the reins of the war horse. The leader of Old Beifeng, Sejirahu, and the leader of Daoliu, Hua Shi,
Seeing this, San felt very uncomfortable. He shrugged his shoulders and turned his horse in the opposite direction of Huang Wanshan.
In the blink of an eye, the four leaders who came to discuss matters all left Ban Tianyun's team. Huang Wanshan, who was walking on the left with his head buried in the ground, suddenly tightened the reins of his mount. After his good friend Sha Qianli caught up from behind, he lowered his head and
He said: "Tell me, what is Arslan's plan? His eye sockets are not really that shallow, are they?"
"A bandit leader who kills people and sells goods, no matter how far-sighted he is, how far can he go?!" Sha Qianli, the leader of a handful of sand, shook his head and responded with a wry smile. "They have many soldiers and big fists, so you and I should bear with it!
"
"That's not what I meant!" Huang Wanshan shook his head and sighed softly. The other party was a bandit leader, and he was short-sighted. How could he be so good? He also lived by killing people and selling goods, and his hands were stained with the blood of innocent people.
"What's the point!" Sha Qianli continued to smile bitterly, "Could it be that you are really interested in the 60% of the goods? Don't say that with the few manpower you and I have, we may not be able to come out on top. Even if we are lucky enough to be the first to break through.
After the caravan circle, will Arslan be willing to fulfill his promise?"
"You mean, not only does he want to get a big share of the goods, but he also wants to swallow us up?!" Huang Wanshan was slightly stunned and asked in a lowered voice.
"Don't you notice at all? Arslan is really too talkative today. On normal days, who would be able to dig out half the goods from his mouth?!"
"Hiss!" Huang Wanshan pulled out his beard. He did realize that Arslan had ulterior motives, but he didn't think so deeply. "If he swallows us, he won't be afraid of the big tree attracting the wind?"
"If the tree is big enough, you won't be afraid anymore!" Sha Qianli said the secret. "I heard that Feng Laizi is going to lead his troops to attack! Ju Chebishi has done such good things, and Feng Laizi will keep him when he arrives.
A dog’s life?”
"Hiss!" Huang Wanshan accidentally pulled off a small tuft of his beard. He gasped in pain. If Juchebishihan was executed by the Tang army, there would inevitably be a power gap in the Zhezhe City area. Axilanda
People who come from a rough background may not be able to swallow the whole Dawan in one mouthful. By then, there will be another turmoil on both sides of the Yaochashui River. No wonder Arslan has prepared for a rainy day. If Huang Wanshan and Sha Qianli were in the same position as Arslan,
You may not be able to resist this temptation.
However, at this moment, Sha Qianli was thinking about a different situation. After a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth and discussed with his good friend in a low voice, "Brother, as an elder brother, I want to ask you, are you living a comfortable life like this?
?”
"Nourishing shit!" Huang Wanshan knocked his stirrup and responded in a deep voice, "If I hadn't been reluctant to bury the last of my brothers on the road, I would have turned around and headed east. Even if I die, I will still be the hero of our Anxi Army! Lao Sha,
Do you want to tell me that you are raising troops to meet Feng Laizi? Don’t worry, as soon as his flag comes out of Congling, I will immediately lead people to greet him!"
Sha Qianli nodded slightly, his voice actually choked up, "Although Feng Laizi is an old-fashioned man, he is not an unreasonable guy. Back then, Talos suffered a disastrous defeat, and all the soldiers could not find generals, and they would not be able to find soldiers. If you can survive,
It’s not easy anymore. As long as he still has half of humanity in his heart, he will definitely not hold us accountable for our crimes of killing people and stealing goods over the years. Therefore, the few brothers we have in our hands cannot be swallowed up by Arslan. We have survived all these years.
Now, we can’t let the last few days pass!”
"Yeah!" Huang Wanshan responded in a low voice, with tears gently rolling in his eyes. Nearly 20,000 troops went out to fight, and in the end, only less than a thousand people followed Gao Xianzhi back to Anxi. The rest either died on the battlefield or were captured.
The cannibal captured prisoners and sold them as slaves to the West. He and dozens of his brothers fought their way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and escaped into the vast ocean.
After the food army withdrew, he led his brothers to make a living by looting. Gradually he made a name for himself by the Yaocha River. Soon, by chance, he met another man who had also climbed out of the pile of dead people.
Sha Qianli. In order to avoid becoming the target of attention of several nearby major forces, the two of them did not dare to join forces and expand their strength unscrupulously. They only wanted to bring their brothers back to Anxi one day. Return to the Central Plains, return to
Go to the fifteen acres of Yongye field at home
This dream is the driving force that supports the two men and their brothers to live. Therefore, no one can wake up from it. Even if they put a knife on their necks. After a long while, Huang Wanshan wiped the corners of his eyes and whispered
Said: "Lao Sha, how should I pass this level? You tell me. You have many ideas, I will just follow you."
"Even if we don't fight with the caravan and both sides suffer losses, we still can't escape Arslan's thoughts afterward!" Sha Qianli thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "So, this is all we can do for a while..."
