Four hundred and fortieth chapters buy road with money
"...General! We rebels definitely don't want to offend the general's power. Think about it!..."
Wu Shigong stared at Feng Weikang who was kneeling on the ground with a smile. Feng Weikang was quite eloquent and had been talking endlessly for half an hour. However, Wu Shigong did not express his position. This attitude made Feng Weikang who was kneeling on the ground even more embarrassed.
The more he felt guilty, the cold sweat had soaked his vest, making Feng Weikang almost collapse.
In fact, Wu Shigong was laughing secretly in his heart. This is really a good thing for giving him a pillow when he is sleepy! His own Runing army wanted to retreat, but the peasant rebel army on the opposite side also wanted to retreat, and they still gave him heavy gifts and cried and begged you.
It’s a good thing that Ning’s army retreats quickly!
But Wu Shigong's expression could not reveal this. If the peasant rebel envoy on the ground saw through his true identity, things would be difficult to handle in the future.
Therefore, Wu Shigong had to grasp his balance, that is, to achieve the purpose of the Runing Army's retreat, but also to make the envoy feel that he had reluctantly agreed, and not to let him see his flaws.
"Okay! Okay!" Wu Shigong interrupted Feng Weikang impatiently, pretending to be angry and yelled at Feng Weikang: "You came here in the middle of the night with some scraps of scrap metal to ask me to come.
Do you listen to these principles? I also want to talk to you about the principles of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. Stop talking nonsense! Tell me what exactly you want to do?"
Feng Weikang finally waited for Wu Shigong to speak, and he immediately said with a smile on his face: "I just want the general to give me a way, so that both of us can live in peace!"
"Everything is fine with you!" Wu Shigong spat out in the distance, "You are so close to my territory, do you think everything is fine with you?"
"I really didn't know that the general was here. Several of our kings have said that it was just a misunderstanding! As long as the general agrees, our rebels will immediately stay away from him." Feng Weikang explained quickly.
"Get out of the way!" Wu Shigong became more and more rude as he spoke. "Do you want to go to Kaifeng Mansion? Or do you want to go to Nanyang Mansion? There are so many people, how can I feel relieved?"
Hearing that Wu Shigong's tone was a little loose, Feng Weikang continued to explain: "So the little one said that we were borrowing the road. We will never enter Runing Mansion and Guide Mansion, not even get close. So this time the little one said
I also brought some small profits to honor you, General! To show the sincerity of our rebel army!"
"What kind of sincerity? Just these scraps of scrap metal? Let me tell you! I am most annoyed by some dogs barking around my house. They are running around outside and I have no control over them. But as long as I dare to get close to my property, I will
We have to fight each other once and for all!”
"That is! That is!" After hearing Wu Shigong's words, there was a possibility of reaching an agreement. Feng Weikang immediately smiled flatteringly and followed Wu Shigong's words. "We will never get close to the general's territory."
Unexpectedly, Wu Shigong immediately slapped the big case in front of him hard. This move made Feng Weikang feel that his heart was about to jump out of his throat. He only heard Wu Shigong yelling: "Just take some scrap copper and smash it."
Tie Lai to show your sincerity? It is only natural for the officers and soldiers to catch the thieves, why should I lend you Dao?"
When he heard the word "scrap copper and iron" for the third time, Feng Weikang suddenly understood. It turned out that Butcher Wu was complaining that the money he gave was too little.
So Feng Weikang immediately kowtowed and said: "General, calm down! General, calm down! This time our eight kings have said it. The small gifts that the young ones are bringing are just greeting gifts. As long as the general is willing to borrow the passage, then we will give the general another 20,000 taels!"
"Bang!" Feng Weikang immediately heard Wu Shigong slapped him hard again. "Are you sending the beggar away? I'm only worth so much money? You don't need to say anything, just ask Zhang Thief or something to wash his neck and wait for me.
Come and kill. See off the guests!"
"Wait a minute! Wait a minute!" Feng Weikang almost regretted that his intestines were green. Although Zhang Xianzhong asked him to bargain step by step before setting off, trying to pay Wu Shigong less money, but why did he bother to do this? The money saved was not lost.
It goes into your own pocket, but if it doesn’t work out, it will really cost you your life!
So Feng Weikang immediately showed his trump card: "I haven't finished speaking yet. The previous twenty thousand taels were given by the eight kings, and the other kings also gave the general 30,000 taels together. The total is fifty thousand taels! Fifty thousand taels."
Two!"
Wu Shigong seemed to have lost his temper. He snorted disdainfully and said, "Zhang Xianzhong has such a big name! The Fifth Battalion of Ge Zuo also has a big name! Over the years, the amount of money he has robbed is no less than a hundred dollars."
If you don't have money, you can spend 50,000 to send me away now. Humph! Don't say that I won't give you a chance. One price! 80,000 taels! If you don't have money, you can use other treasures to offset the price. I'll give you one day to think about it tomorrow.
, if you don’t send it, I will send troops to fight the day after tomorrow! Listen up! You only have one chance, if you don’t give it tomorrow, I will come and get it myself with swords and guns!”
"Yes! Yes! Yes! I will definitely bring the general's words to you." Feng Weikang now agrees to anything first.
"Also!" Wu Shigong continued, "Runing Mansion, Guide Mansion and Ye County are all my territory. You should not get closer than fifty miles there. Ruzhou City and Nanyang City cannot be moved. Otherwise, I will send troops again.
I'll fight you to death. That's it. Get out!"
After Feng Weikang left, Wu Shigong immediately called Tao Xin in. He immediately arranged for the entire battalion to be sent to double posts to closely guard against the peasant rebel army taking advantage of his carelessness to steal the camp.
After Feng Weikang went back and reported everything to Zhang Xianzhong, Zhang Xianzhong was surprised by Wu Shigong's greed. However, this basically dispelled his doubts and believed that Wu Shigong was indeed a money-greedy military attache.
The situation on the second day was even worse. The Runing Army sent double cavalry detachments to monitor all activities of the peasant rebels. Even the Runing Army camp was busy sharpening their knives, as if they were preparing for the attack.
A decisive battle.
So after Zhang Xianzhong discussed with other leaders, he simply gave away the property worth 80,000 taels of silver. Anyway, the problem that can be solved with silver is not a big problem. Besides, these properties are not gold and silver, they are all made of antiques, calligraphy and painting
There were a lot of jewelry and precious stones, so it would have been difficult to sell the stolen goods. Selling weapons to Shanxi merchants who sold weapons to the peasant rebels was just a bargain, so we might as well sell them all this time.
Now Zhang Xianzhong and the others were hoping that Wu Shigong would keep his promise. Unexpectedly, things went smoothly. After the agreement, both sides retreated twenty miles on the fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, and another two or thirty miles on the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month. Then the Runing army
Returning to Ye County, the peasant rebel army also temporarily returned to Henan Prefecture. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature for better and faster novels!
