The captain of Wenjiang Dao slapped several cases and almost shook them up: "Meng Ji, this stupid son, has given half of the money and not even a grain of food. Let's fight him with our heads high. He is like this
For us? If the food is not shipped out tomorrow, I will return to Wenjiang Road!"
"Don't be impatient!" Captain Jian's Taoist School is the leader of the public recommendation. In the past few days, all the school captains have complained. Tens of thousands of people have gathered at the gates of Chengdu, but they have no food to eat. This is one of the reasons why they did not attack Chengdu.
First, I feel a little unwilling to become a rebel before I get any benefits.
"Be calm and don't be impatient? Your people have food to eat, so of course do not be impatient. My men are about to starve to death!" Wenjiang Dao Xiaowei snorted coldly: "If you really push me into a hurry, rush into Chengdu and kill them first."
It’s Monji!”
Tuxian County Lieutenant smiled: "No one wants something like this to happen, especially Meng Ji. He also knows our situation. As long as we stand still, he will be more anxious than us. In order to solve the food problem, I have a suggestion.
I don’t know if you guys…”
"If you have something to say, say it, and if you have something to say, let it go!"
The captain of Tu County was not angry: "Since we are all in the same boat, why not take out everyone's food and tide over this difficulty for the time being?"
"Hey! That's a good idea!" Wenjiang Dao Captain quickly turned to look at the few school captains and county captains who had food. He smiled at Jianshi Dao Captain: "I think this method is very good, even if it is borrowed
Okay, I’ll wait until Meng Ji’s food is delivered, and then I’ll return it to you.”
Canling County Lieutenant waved his hand: "How can this be done? Although we have some food, the price of food in Chengdu is already astronomical. If Meng Ji cannot deliver food, my troops will starve to death! This little food is left
Come down and help!”
"You fucking are going to starve to death! We are already starving to death!" Wenjiang Road School Captain glared: "If you don't give me a word, I will do it myself!"
"Ahem!" Captain Jian's Taoist School coughed: "Don't be angry. We are all our own people. It will not be good if it hurts the harmony. Let's do it this way. I will take out a hundred stones of grain and rice. Whoever doesn't have enough grain will support me first."
!”
"One hundred stones? Thank you for your words. One hundred stones of food and rice can feed several people. Let's share it equally! If we die together, we will all die together!" Wenjiang Road School Captain refused to give up. He raised his arms and got the approval of many people.
"Share the food equally! Share the food equally!"
"We all came together, so we have to share the food equally and share the joys and sorrows!"
Seeing that the meeting room was already in chaos. Those who had food and those who had no food were divided into two groups. Lieutenant Jian's Taoist School sat in the main seat and said nothing.
"Report...! The school captain and the soldier cao want to see you!"
"Who?" Everyone suddenly became quiet. The captain of the Jian family was unhappy and looked at the soldiers who were delivering the order: "What is he doing here at this time? Does he have troops with him?"
"There are only three of them, they are said to be the new military commanders of Shu County, and they are here specifically to save your lives!"
"This is unreasonable!" Wenjiang Dao Captain was furious: "You son of a bitch is here to humiliate us! Get him here!"
"Wait a minute!" The lieutenant of the Taoist school of the Jian family waved his hand quickly: "The newly appointed military commander of Shu County, Wen Dang's actions are quite fast! Now that we have been deceived by Meng Ji to come here, we can't advance or retreat. If Meng Ji has been captured by the prefect,
Take it, we'd better find a way out."
The captain of Tu County nodded: "Yes! You can't hang yourself from a tree. If it doesn't work out, we are committing rebellion and want to destroy the nine tribes!"
Captain Jian's Taoist School thought for a while: "Send the troops and horses to set up their positions and let this soldier see our morale. Even if we ask for peace, we can still gain more benefits!"
A bull horn sounded, and the camp began to boil. The soldiers were neatly dressed and rushed out of their tents with weapons in hand. The road leading to the tent was immediately surrounded by soldiers, leaving only a narrow corridor.
"Hongmen Banquet!" This was Su Ren's first impression of this posture. However, since it was here, he had to go in regardless.
Walking among a large group of soldiers, Su Ren, who had always been a bit obsessed with germs, found it unbearable and unconsciously covered his nose with his hand, causing all the nearby soldiers to glare at him angrily.
Captain Jian's Taoist School led everyone to wait at the entrance of the big tent, but found that a child of sixteen or seventeen years old was walking towards him. The happy expression on his face immediately changed. Captain Wenjiang Road snorted coldly and turned around.
Entered the tent.
Su Ren cupped his hands and saluted: "Su Ren, the soldier of Xia Shu County, has met all of you!"
The official name "Bing Cao" was not very good, but the word "Su Ren" made everyone stunned. The county captain of Tu County forgot about the Taoist school captain of Jian's family, and he laughed and said: "It turns out to be Mr. Su. Mr. Su's name is like thunder. I only know
Sir, you are good at business, but you didn’t expect that you would also be able to lead an army?”
"Is this the county captain of Tu County?" Su Ren naturally did his homework before coming.
The captain of Tu County nodded: "Mr. Su actually knows me, I'm really surprised."
"Tu County is the largest county in Shu County. There are a thousand soldiers under the county captain. Logically speaking, being a school captain is not a big deal. However, the county captain has been working hard and sharing the worries of the prefect. The prefect often mentioned it in front of us.
, how can you not know the name of the county captain?"
"The prefect also knows about me?" Tuxian County Lieutenant's face was full of joy.
"Ahem!" The lieutenant of the Taoist school of the Jian family coughed. The lieutenant of Tuxian County quickly smiled and said: "Let me introduce you to sir, this is the lieutenant of the Taoist school of the Jian family, this is the lieutenant of Canling County, and this is...
,Hey, why is the captain of Wenjiang Road missing?"
Su Ren saluted one by one and behaved modestly and appropriately, which made these county and school captains feel very comfortable.
Entering the big tent, there were more than a dozen county and school captains from more than a dozen counties, including Sima and military commanders. The small Chinese army tent was packed to the brim.
Before Su Ren could sit down, the captain of Wenjiang Road snorted coldly: "If Su Bingcao comes to surrender, we welcome him. If you have anything else to say, don't ask. Chengdu is right in front of us. In less than half an hour, our army will be ready."
You can drive into Chengdu."
Su Ren chuckled and was not angry because of the rudeness of the Wenjiang Road Captain. He shook his robe and sat on the seat prepared for himself: "What the Wenjiang Road Captain said is true, there is nothing in Chengdu now."
Defensively, it will be easy for you to break through."
"Then you are here to surrender?"
Su Ren shook his head: "No, I'm neither here to persuade nor to surrender. I just have some business that I want to discuss with you!"
"Business? What business?" asked the captain of the Jian family Taoist school.
Abandoning the Wenjiang Dao Captain, Su Ren bowed his hands to the Jianshi Dao Captain: "I know that your army is short of food, and I happen to have a batch in my hands. I wonder if you are willing to buy it?"
"Selling grain? How much grain do you have?" As soon as the Wenjiang Dao captain said this, he knew that he was wrong and quickly saved himself: "It doesn't matter how much grain you have, we have enough grain and grass!"
"Haha, why do you deceive yourself? To tell you the truth, I have burned the Meng family's granary, and the grains and rice that the Meng family was going to transport outside the city have also been robbed by the hungry people. If you still expect Meng Ji to transport grain to you, then you will
There is only a dead end."
"Damn it, do you dare to threaten us?"
"Hehehe, is this considered a threat? I'm just doing business."
The captain of Tu County stepped forward and said, "In that case, I wonder what the price of sir's food is?"
"No money is required, as long as you agree to one condition, each person will receive 10,000 stones of food and grass as a gift!"
"Ten thousand stones? Are you serious?" Tuxian County Lieutenant was obviously more interested in this matter.
Captain Jian's Taoist School frowned: "Ten thousand stones of grain! Su Bingcao is such a generous person. Let's talk about your conditions first, and then we will decide whether we are ordered to take these ten thousand stones of grain!"
Su Ren nodded: "Okay, my condition is very simple, that is, you all retreat! Meng Ji is at the end of his rope, but you still have good years. The people in this tent are all officials with more than 600 shi. You all know very well that really rushing
If you enter Chengdu, you will become a sinner of Shu County and a traitor to the country. Since you don't want to rebel and Meng Ji has already taken advantage of it, you should return to your own territory!"
"Yesterday the prefect was about to report this matter to the court, but I suppressed it! To a certain extent, you are also under my control. As a new soldier, I don't want a mutiny to happen, so I took hundreds of thousands
Shi Liangliang puts this matter to rest, if the court finds out at this time, you will have no way out."
"Everyone must know the price of grain in Chengdu. Ten thousand stones of grain and rice is equivalent to one million yuan! As long as you agree to withdraw your troops, I will immediately send people to deliver the grain. At the same time, I can also guarantee that the prefect and the captain will definitely
Don’t pursue it!”
Su Ren glanced around the crowd, and many of them had already lowered their heads in thought: "You guys should think clearly, should you go all the way with Meng Ji until the end, or should you stop at the brink. If you still want to attack Chengdu, just think that I am farting! By the way,
The prefect has already learned of Meng Ji's plan, and reinforcements from nearby counties are on their way, so I won't give you any time."
"I will never surrender!" Wenjiang Dao Captain shouted: "You are trying to trick us with nice words, and then you can defeat us one by one after we retreat. What a wishful thinking!"
"It seems that the captain of Wenjiang Dao doesn't believe it? In that case, I won't force you. If you want to attack Chengdu, please do it yourself!"
"Okay, you wait for me, we will capture Chengdu and see what else you have to say!" Wenjiang Dao Captain stood up and walked out of the account, glaring at Su Ren angrily as he walked.
The captain of Tu County quickly grabbed him and whispered: "Why are you in such a hurry? What time is it? We ourselves are the most important!"
The Wenjiang Dao captain rolled his eyes at Su Ren: "I can't stand that guy's face. Ten thousand stones of food and grass? You still want us to withdraw our troops with just this little food and grass?"
"If you think the price is not right, you can negotiate again! If the imperial court sends troops here, we county soldiers are no match."
He dragged the Wenjiang Road captain back with force.
Captain Jian's Taoist School smiled and continued to say to Su Ren: "This is how soldiers eat food. If Su Bingcao can solve our food problem, I agree to withdraw the troops. What do you think?"
"I do!"
"I do too!"
When it comes to life and death, your own life is the most important. (To be continued)
