"Let's take a look at Thief Kong's plan first. Being trapped in the isolated city, Thief Kong is still resisting, so he has to have some support, right? But I just fired so many cannons into the water city, so you guys should come running to help me immediately.
To give gifts, what do you rely on? It’s those boats in the water city!"
"Don't rush to deny it. There are so many discerning people in and outside the city, how can there be fewer people who know this truth? But I also tell you that only my artillery team has the ability to fire this kind of artillery.
Don’t believe it. If you don’t believe it, you can ask your artillery team in Dengzhou City to fire a few rounds of these cannons for me to have a look. So, you have found the right person when you come to me today.”
"I feel comfortable taking these things from you. Don't think that you are suffering a loss. I admit that the things you gave to me were indeed worth some money in the past. But where can you sell these things? This
Things cannot be changed into gold or silver, nor can they be changed into food, so for you now, these are nothing more than scrap copper and iron. Use these worthless things in exchange for eliminating the threat of ships. According to my opinion, this is still true.
I have suffered some losses here. Besides, can I swallow so much stuff by myself? With a commander and friendly troops, I won’t be able to get too many in my hands."
Wu Shigong patiently explained to Huang Qifai from the beginning, the purpose was to make Huang Qiqifa mentally balanced and make Huang Qiqifai less wary of resisting what Wu Shigong would say in the future.
"The idea of the Kong thief is so understandable! Defend Dengzhou City until the sea freezes and then take a boat to fly away. Indeed, this method is very wonderful. I also admit that within two or three months before the freeze begins, the city will be destroyed.
It is difficult for the Ming army outside to invade Dengzhou City. Maybe you will have doubts, what other business do I want to discuss with you? Will I accept the gift and then break the promise before firing?"
"No, no, no! I don't make any promises. You also know that those guarantees are false. But you are right in what you said before. There is no blood feud between us. So why should we fight hard?
?Can't we do some business in private?"
Looking at Wu Shigong's devilish smile, Huang Qifai swallowed again and asked: "Then what kind of business is this?"
Wu Shigong clapped his hands and laughed and said: "Haha! Talking to smart people saves effort. What business is, of course, food! We sell food to you privately."
After hearing this, Huang Qifai was greatly shaken. He almost lost his guard and almost couldn't help shouting: "How did you know that there is a shortage of food in the city?"
But Huang Qifai immediately reacted. If he just asked this question, wouldn't he be asking for it? So Huang Qifai swallowed for the third time. Just as he was about to speak, Wu Shigong stretched out his hand and interrupted him.
"You don't need to say any more. I don't want to find out how much food you have in the city. I'm not in my position. I have no interest in caring about things that should be the coach's concern." Wu Shigong's interruption almost made Huang Qiqi choke.
It became an internal injury. Of course Wu Shigong was not interested in asking! Isn’t Huang Qiqi’s exaggerated physical reaction just now the best answer?
"One price is fifty taels of silver for one stone of grain. The starting price is one hundred stones." Wu Shigong started talking about the business regardless of Huang Qifa's reaction. "Of course you can also say: This price is too expensive. There is no shortage of food in the city.
.Then you don’t come to buy! Anyway, I’m here to do business. What I do is to act like a child. You also know my attitude, I don’t like to bargain.”
"That's what I'm telling you. You are all surrounded by us. Where else can you go to buy food? Even if other Ming troops are willing to sell it to you, won't you feel relieved? Aren't you afraid of being cheated?
And from here, you can see the extent to which I have complied with the shelling agreement! I believe that no matter what, your food and grass in Dengzhou City will last for ten days and a half, there will be no problem."
Huang Qifai was in a state of confusion. Now he couldn't decide how to answer. If he agreed, wouldn't it prove that there was a shortage of food in Dengzhou City? If Kong Youde and Geng Jingzhong found out, it would be him.
If they reveal the news that there is a food shortage in the city, then they will have to light the sky lanterns? But if they refuse, if Kong Youde and Geng Jingzhong really need to buy food, wouldn't that mean that this road is cut off? Huang
Inspiration is simply unaffordable.
So he had no choice but to say: "I understand your kindness, but I really can't be the master of Dengzhou City. After I returned, I informed Marshal Kong and Marshal Geng and asked them to make the decision as soon as possible."
Can you please give me a reply?"
Wu Shigong nodded calmly and said, "Okay! But do you understand everything I just said?"
Huang Qifai saw that Wu Shigong no longer pressed him, and he breathed a sigh of relief again. He just wanted to leave early and leave the place of right and wrong. So Huang Qifai nodded hurriedly and said: "I understand it all! I understand it all!
Please return to the city as soon as possible and report your explanation to the Lord."
Unexpectedly, before Huang Qifai finished speaking, Wu Shigong suddenly got angry. He grabbed the small barrel containing the token from the big case, stood up and threw it on Huang Qifai, and cursed: "You
You understand! Are you a stupid pig? What can you understand? Stupid donkey! Stupid pig!"
Huang Qifai collapsed completely due to Wu Shigong's sudden anger. He was so frightened that he knelt on the ground again. Wu Shigong also bypassed the big case again, ran to Huang Qifai, pointed at him and kept yelling.
Not to mention that Huang Qifai was blinded by the scolding, even the guards in the big tent were extremely surprised by Wu Shigong's sudden anger. However, they also had blind superstitions about their master, and they thought that his master must be so angry.
There was a reason. Therefore, these guards put their hands on the hilts of the knives at their waists and stared at Huang Qiqi, who was kneeling on the ground, to prevent him from rioting.
"Do you know where you are stupid?" After scolding for a while, Wu Shigong was tired of scolding. So he asked Huang Qifai arrogantly as if he were treating his subordinates.
"Young...I really don't know." Huang Qifai was scolded so much that he almost cried. Huang Qifai completely surrendered to this moody Lord Dusi.
"You are just stupid. Don't ask for something from me." Wu Shigong said as if he hated iron, and then before Huang Qifa could react, he continued, "Friendship! My friendship!"
At this time, Huang Qifai's mind was in a state of confusion. He could only vaguely follow Wu Shigong's words and ask: "What... what friendship?"
Wu Shigong immediately seemed to be a different person. He took Huang Qiqi's elbows and helped him up. Then he said with a smile: "I like to make friends the most. I also look at you.
I'm also more honest, so I can't bear to let your friend suffer."
"Think about it, you came to talk to me today, and those things were indeed settled. The thieves in Dengzhou City will also be satisfied. But don't think about it. After this happens, you
Are you satisfied?"
Huang Qifai was completely confused. Why did Wu Dusi in front of him seem to have suddenly become his life-and-death friend? In this world, I have only heard of rape, not of forced friendship. And this person
Wu Dusi's words were also very strange, so Huang Qiqi immediately asked: "What are you dissatisfied about?"
Wu Shigong's face immediately showed an expression of hatred for steel. He gritted his teeth and said: "Why don't you understand? Even if there is enough food in Dengzhou City, how much can you get? Even if it is enough, how much can you get?
If you can get enough food, then there will only be so many boats in Shuicheng. How can you be confident that you can get on the boat? Even if there are many boats in Shuicheng, everyone of you will be guaranteed a place on the boat.
, but can you guarantee that you will not become cannon fodder and be thrown on the shore, covering Kong and other direct traitors to board the ship and escape?"
Each of these words fell on Huang Qifai's ears, beating Huang Qifai's heart like a heavy hammer. Huang Qifai had never thought of Wu Shigong's words in the past, but in the end, Huang Qifai always thought of himself.
Anesthetically, I thought that the two commanders would not treat me like this.
But now that Wu Shigong pointed it out so clearly, Huang Qifa thought again that he was "lucky" to get the lottery. His self-confidence was completely shattered. He was sweating all over his body, trembling, and looked at Wu Shigong with horrified eyes.
It's like looking at a devil.
But Wu Shigong changed the subject again, patting Huang Qiqi on the shoulder as if to comfort him, and then said: "But you don't need to be afraid now. What do you have now? You have my friendship! You
If you are short of food, I can give it to you; if you are in danger, I can help you; even if Dengzhou City is destroyed, it may be difficult to take in your more than 200 people, but I have ten of them hidden and eight of them are in my own house.
In the camp, there will be no problem."
"And don't worry. I won't ask for the benefits of friends. I won't even ask for your own personal wealth. Why? We are friends! I am loyal! Don't you think so?"
Huang Qifai was completely stunned. Even a fool knows that there is no such good thing. Huang Qifai knew that Wu Shigong would definitely put forward his conditions, and this condition would be very harsh. But Huang Qifai didn't want to let go of this life-saving straw, so he had to first
Let's listen to the conditions.
So Huang Qifai hoarse his voice and asked Wu Shigong: "Then what do the adults want the children to do?"
But what Huang Qifai didn't expect again was that Wu Shigong's answer surprised him again. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
