Wu Er had the idea of the gunpowder long ago. When he knew that the food was insufficient, he thought of exchanging the gunpowder with the Yanbei army for food. As soon as the gunpowder was shipped out, Wu Er found the cave where the gunpowder was stored.
"Put the gunpowder here first and send a team of people to guard it. The others will follow me and hurry up to chase the Yanbei army and negotiate with them." Wu Er acted in a very orderly manner and had arranged everything early.
Moreover, acting separately would also be conducive for him to move secretly and secretly plant some gunpowder.
The general was sent to help, but he was actually monitoring Wu Er and Wu Er. He didn't expect Wu Er to act separately, so he couldn't help but frown.
This matter...
He alone had no way to supervise Wu Er throughout the entire process.
"Is this the only way? Is there no other way?" The man hesitated again and again and finally asked the question.
Although the general reused Wu Er, he was not so confident about him.
Wu Er is capable and transparent, but he is also ambitious. Such a person...
The general is willing to use him, but he is also very wary of him.
"Do you have any other ideas? The Yanbei Army's marching efficiency is much higher than ours... With so many people and heavy baggage, we can't catch up with the Yanbei Army even if we chase for a year. If we bring gunpowder,
We can catch up with the Yanbei army, and there is no need for us to do such a thing." Wu Er was still very polite to the people sent by the general.
Although he doesn't care about the general's defense against him, he can't offend the general now, at least not openly.
"You can catch up with Yanbei's army with a light carriage and simple obedience? Do you know which direction Yanbei's army went?" The people sent by the general were very rude to Wu Er.
Wu Er was not angry, and said in a good-tempered way: "What's the difficulty? I'm good at tracking. Just look at me, I can catch up with Yan Bei's army in one day at most. Even if I can't catch up, don't be afraid. We
You can think of a way to send a message to Yan Beijun."
Wu Er's confidence comes from his strength. If he dares to say such things, he is certainly sure that he can do it...
But even so, the people sent by the general still looked dissatisfied.
Wu Er was not dissatisfied and continued to explain: "Even if we can catch up with the Yanbei Army with gunpowder, are you sure the Yanbei Army will not think that we are provoking? Brother Niu, we are now fighting against the Yanbei Army.
The military's private deal is not to fight with others, and... we will offer the gunpowder as soon as we arrive. Are you sure that Yanbei's army will not just steal it? Instead, they will negotiate with us in a polite manner?"
The people sent by the general would not think that the Yanbei army was a fool because of its integrity, right?
They are not stupid!
Those who treat Yan Beijun as a fool will die miserably.
"Didn't you say that the Yanbei Army is very disciplined and has a good reputation?" The man sent by the general was named Niu. He did not have an official position, but because of his relationship with the general, everyone in the army called him
"Brother Niu," Wu Er also shouted the same.
"Brother Niu, this is a battlefield! Everyone is at war. The Yanbei Army has a good reputation, but they haven't talked to us yet. There's nothing wrong with grabbing our things and killing us, right?" Wu Er thought in his heart.
This man was extremely disgusted, but he didn't show it on his face.
This is why he hates those people who have no ability and only good background.
These people all rely on their good background to occupy high positions, but they are extremely stupid. They are all self-reliant and do not know many common sense issues. When a war begins, they will just hide behind and be protected by others until the war begins.
After that, I went out for a walk and went back to collect my achievements.
"You...the general only sent me here, what am I going to do?" Brother Niu admitted that what Wu Er said made sense, but he was still dissatisfied with Wu Er.
Wu Er is such a thief. Since he has thought of this a long time ago, why not explain it in front of the general. If he said so, the general would definitely not send him alone.
"Brother Niu, you go with me to negotiate with Yan Bei's army. What do you think?" Wu Er didn't care whether Brother Niu followed him or stayed where he was to guard the gunpowder.
The soldiers below them were so squeezed by the people above them that they had already developed their skills in fooling people up to the top.
Compared to those old guys, this little guy is terrifyingly young. To fool such people, he doesn't even need to use his brain.
"Okay, I'll go with you to negotiate. Before we leave, let's count the gunpowder first." Brother Niu had a serious face and spoke very straightforwardly, completely putting his distrust of Wu Er on the surface.
.
The people who came with Wu Er were all brothers whom Wu Er trusted. When they heard Brother Niu's words, they all became angry. Some even stepped forward and wanted to take action, but...
Before they could move, Wu Er stopped them with his eyes.
He's just a young kid who doesn't understand anything. How can they be afraid?
If you want to count the quantity, just count it. It's just right. Take this opportunity to take out the consumables.
Wu Er glanced at the person next to him and asked him to come forward and help him count them.
When the gunpowder was brought out, it was all neatly packed. It was not difficult to count it, but...
During the bumpy journey, several sticks of gunpowder were broken. During the inventory, they were discovered by sharp-eyed soldiers.
Brother Niu took a closer look and found that it was indeed broken, and there were quite a lot of them. He immediately frowned...
He knew that their gunpowder making process was not perfect enough and there were many failed products, but there seemed to be more bad products among them?
Is this a coincidence?
Or was it really because I was traveling in a hurry that it got ruined?
While Brother Niu was thinking about it, the soldiers on the side also sighed: "After keeping it for so long, I wonder if there is something wrong with the gunpowder on our bodies?"
"Didn't the king say that after gunpowder is made, it can only be stored for one month, and there will be no way to use it after one month. We have stored it for more than half a month, and it is normal for it to get worse. Just in time, while it is not there yet
They are all broken, so quickly exchange them with the Yanbei Army. When they are broken, they will not blame us." Those few soldiers said with a proud look on their faces. When Brother Niu heard this, he seemed to have the same reason.
I won’t say any more now.
After registering, Brother Niu pointed to the bad products and said: "Don't let Yan Beijun see these. You must not let Yanbei Army know that our gunpowder will not be released for a long time."
"Brother Niu, don't worry, I will definitely take care of things." When Wu Er heard this, he knew that Brother Niu had been tricked by them.
You want to supervise a young man who is pampered and has never been on the battlefield?
Humph, even if Wu Er was doing evil things under his skin, he wouldn't be able to tell the difference between good and evil.
"The inventory is over, let's leave earlier and negotiate with the Yanbei Army earlier." Brother Niu remembered that the gunpowder could only be stored for one month. He was afraid that the longer it was delayed, the more bad gunpowder would be, and anxiously urged Wu Er to hurry up.
action.
Even if it is not for gunpowder, we must also consider food for the army.
They didn't have any food in their hands. Not to mention ordinary soldiers, even the general only had enough food to last for two days.
This time, they will exchange food for food at all costs... (To be continued)
