Wu Er proposed to take gunpowder to exchange for food with Yan Bei's army. Although it was for the sake of everyone, it was not without selfish motives...
There are many people around the general who are useful, but there are not many people who are useful. Especially for these matters that are not so public, the general is not willing to let others know about them.
It was Wu Er who proposed exchanging gunpowder for grain. It was best to let Wu Er handle this matter, and Wu Er to handle it himself. There would be a lot of room for maneuver.
For example, he could underreport the grain exchanged and overreport the gunpowder needed by the Yanbei army.
This kind of thing cannot be brought to light, so naturally the fewer people know about it, the better. Even if the general sends someone to monitor it, Wu Er will not be afraid.
In the current situation, everyone is in danger. Even if gunpowder can be temporarily exchanged for food, who knows how long it will last?
At this time, no one would complain that there is too much food, especially the food that belongs to oneself.
Wu Er is confident that no matter who the general sends to spy on him, he is sure that he will let the other party join him and pretend that he has not seen anything...
Sure enough, as Wu Er expected, the general agreed to Wu Er's proposal after pondering for a moment, and agreed to take gunpowder to the Yanbei army in exchange for food.
For the first batch, we will exchange the gunpowder for the 30,000 rebel soldiers, and test the Yanbei army first to see how much food they can get in exchange for the gunpowder.
As Wu Er expected, the general handed the matter over to Wu Er, and at the same time sent his confidants to accompany Wu Er to handle the matter.
Of course, the general said his words beautifully...
The general said: "This man is here to help you. He is just your deputy. Although he represents the general, he will never interfere with any of your decisions. You can just let it go. You don't have to worry about anyone else. If he doesn't listen,
If you say so, feel free to kill others." The people he sent were only for surveillance, and the others...
If Wu Er has the ability, let Wu Er do the hard work. If the hard work is successful, it is naturally the credit of him as a great general. If he doesn't work hard, then...
Wu Er will naturally bear all the consequences.
"Thank you for your concern, General. I will definitely take care of things." Wu Er responded with a clear mind, looking very happy.
Wu Er's behavior also made the general very happy...
He was not wrong about the person. Wu Er was indeed a capable and smart man. If he used it well, he would definitely be a good knife in his hand.
In the future, if he can replace Wang's position, Wu Er can sit in his current position.
Yes, just like Wu Er wanted to be a general, the general wanted to be a unique king. Even if there was nothing in southern Xinjiang at the moment and could not even raise soldiers and horses, he still wanted to be the king.
Only when you become a king can you do whatever you want, have no scruples, and do whatever you want.
Moreover, unlike their king, he has a lofty ambition and wants to unify the four kingdoms. His ambition is very small. He just wants to return to Southern Xinjiang, guard the land in Southern Xinjiang, and rule the few people in Southern Xinjiang. Even if
Therefore, he is also happy to be like the King of Yanbei and others.
The general had a calculation in his mind, and so did Wu Er.
The less people know about exchanging gunpowder for food, the better. If you don't want others to know, the best way is to do it at night.
After the battle during the day, Wu Er finally had his own direct troops and people he could trust and mobilize.
With the general's private orders, Wu Er easily arranged the people. At night, under the cover of those people, Wu Er easily transported the gunpowder that the 30,000 people carried at all times out of the camp quietly...
…
Of course, it's impossible that no one would notice if he took away so many things, but... in this situation, no one would care about these small actions.
They are short of food now, so as long as they don't transport the food out, they don't care about anything.
Ordinary soldiers can pretend they haven't seen anything, but the people around the general can't...
The people around the general have been watching Wu Er secretly. When Wu Er transports the gunpowder, they will immediately report to the general. At the same time, they express their worries: "General, can Wu Er be trusted? What if he
After transporting the gunpowder out and getting food in exchange, why don't you come back?"
"There is nothing to worry about!" The general laughed and said: "Wu Er is a smart man. Smart people will not do stupid things. He will definitely come back. Even if Wu Er doesn't come back, what does it matter?
?”
"Wu Er's move was just a test. Wu Er exchanged for food and ran away secretly. How far can he run? Wu Er can exchange for food, so can we. If we exchange for food, those soldiers will be full.
If I know that Wu Er has food in his possession, I will definitely hunt down Wu Er without hesitation."
Persimmons are too soft to pick. Those people can't catch up with Yanbei's army and can't defeat Yanbei's army. How can they be afraid of a martial artist?
"The general is wise." When the people under the general heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up.
Yes, they are not short of men or weapons, but they are short of food. As long as they can get food in exchange, who should the Yanbei army do business with?
"It's not wise to be wise. It's just that you have reached the end of your road and have no choice." Thinking of the current situation, the general couldn't help but sigh.
This world is really hard for people to live in.
It is said that Tianqi has recovered its vitality under the governance of King Yanbei and Princess Yanbei. Although everyone is well fed and clothed, at least no one has died of hunger.
Apocalypse was the most severely damaged among the four countries at the beginning. In this several-year battle initiated by their southern border, the main battlefield was in Apocalypse. Apocalypse was full of ruins, but it was such a land of ruins. Yan
King Bei and Princess Yanbei forced it to bloom.
Now, the people of Tianqi can be said to have the best life among the four countries.
Let’s not talk about their southern Xinjiang. Ordinary people died and ran away. Those who survived did not dare to say that they were from southern Xinjiang. They would rather be slaves than say that they were from southern Xinjiang.
The reputation of Southern Xinjiang in the Four Kingdoms is so bad that people from the other three countries will drive away people as soon as they hear that they are from Southern Xinjiang, even if they have just an ordinary surname.
Beichen... Beichen was already starved of food. When the people of Beichen learned that King Yanbei accepted the people of Beichen, even those who were not affected by the war, they packed their bags and headed to Tianqi to seek refuge with King Yanbei.
Tianwu place...
The land of Tianwu was not bad. Beichen Tianque wanted to capture Tianwu. He wanted to include Tianwu in his territory. Therefore, although he led troops to fight against the Tianwu people, he did not harm the people.
The people of Tianwu barely managed to survive.
The general discovered...
When we break it down, the people in their southern border are the worst off, and the soldiers in their southern frontier are also the worst. Among the four countries, they have almost no foothold.
"I don't know if we can go back."
The general felt heartbroken when he thought of this...
If he can't go back, will he still have a chance to become king? (To be continued)
