Hearing that the pottery merchant was going to send him back, Hu Cai couldn't help but be stunned. He looked at the pottery merchant with a warm smile in confusion, and he was completely puzzled.
He had just agreed to surrender, so why did he let him go back to Baibo Valley? Could it be that he was deliberately testing his sincerity?
These young men from wealthy noble families are indeed as cunning as foxes!
Thinking of this, Hu Cai hurriedly stood up and said to Tao Shang respectfully: "Master, don't doubt it, Hu Cai is sincerely loyal to you, and there is no second intention! Hu Cai swears to God here, if
If you pretend to surrender to the young master, or harbor resentment against the young master, then... you will be struck to death by thunder from the sky, leaving no trace of your body!"
"Boom!"
As he finished speaking, a burst of thunder suddenly sounded in the sky outside the tent, causing the soldiers in the Xuzhou Military Camp to look up to the sky and talk among themselves.
Thunder in winter is not something you can hear every day. What bastard caused this? What a sin he must have done!
Inside the handsome tent, Hu Cai looked embarrassed and stared at the pottery merchant.
"Ignore your mother... why are you thundering at this time..." Hu Cai murmured to himself, raising his hand to wipe the sweat on his head: "Young Master, this is definitely a misunderstanding!"
Tao Shang took a deep breath, waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, I don't talk about strange powers, and I am not superstitious."
When Hu Cai heard this, he hurriedly bowed deeply and said: "Master, please believe in the villain. There is no need to test. The villain is sincerely surrendering to Tao Xuzhou."
The pottery merchant shook his head. This guy is a dead-headed guy, and he is still thinking he is smart.
"Brother Hu has misunderstood. I am not testing you now, but I sincerely want to let you go back... After all, Brother Hu was once one of the top five canal commanders in Baibo Valley. It is a pity to stay here. It is better to stay here."
It’s better in Baibo Valley.”
Hu Cai understood this time that Tao Shang asked him to go back because he wanted him to be an internal coordinator.
Tao Shang paused and then said: "Sooner or later I will attack the Baibo Valley, but my original intention is not to destroy the Baibo Army. On the contrary, I want all the soldiers and brothers of the Baibo Army to have a good destination and peace."
Brother Hu must be able to understand Tao's sincerity in his future... Brother Hu has been in Baibo Valley for so long, and he also has deep feelings for the brothers in Baibo Valley, right?"
After hearing this, Hu Cai's eyes turned red and he almost shed tears.
The pottery merchant suddenly stood up, walked to the commander's tent, called Pei Qian over, and whispered a few words in his ear. Pei Qian received the potter's order and left immediately.
After a while, he saw that the curtain of the commander's tent was opened, and Pei Qian led a group of ordinary soldiers into the commander's tent.
But at Pei Qian's signal, the soldiers lined up in front of Hu Cai, knelt down on one knee, cupped their hands together, and said loudly: "Shuai Hu!"
Hu Cai was stunned for a moment when he saw this. He didn't understand what was going on for a long time, and it took him a while to come back to his senses.
These soldiers who were kneeling on the ground were Baibo soldiers who had escaped from Baipo Valley and Po City and joined the pottery merchants.
"Young Master...what are you..."
Tao Shang smiled kindly and said, "Tao has no other intention. He just wants Brother Hu to see that Tao accepts and treats all the soldiers who came out of Baibo Valley and surrendered to our army. As long as they are willing to surrender sincerely,
, the so-called thief name will be forever removed from Tao's place, and from now on we will all be brothers as close as one!"
Hu Cai sighed secretly in his heart. He was touched by the pottery merchant's willingness to accept the soldiers of Baibo Valley, and he was also in awe of his profound ingenuity.
Hu Cai understood that Tao Shang brought these Baibo Valley soldiers who had surrendered to him, firstly so that he could truly know that as long as the Baibo Army soldiers were willing to surrender, they would definitely be protected by the Xuzhou Army.
Secondly, Tao Shang is reminding himself that if he dares to show half-hearted attitude toward Qin Muchu after returning to Baibo Valley, with these surrendered soldiers here to testify, Tao Shang has a way to get them to tell them that Hu Cai was conspiring with him in the commander's tent.
If it is passed to the Baibo Valley and reaches Guo Da's ears, he will no longer be a human being inside and out, and will definitely not end well.
After the soldiers who surrendered to the Xuzhou Army in Baibogu visited Hu Cai, the pottery merchant asked Pei Qian to send them away.
Then, the pottery merchant said to Hu Caiyan: "Brother Hu, have you seen it? I will treat anyone who surrenders sincerely and kindly. I hope that Brother Hu can understand my painstaking efforts to accept Bai Bojun and help me more wholeheartedly."
, let the hatred between the Baibo army and the officers and soldiers be settled as soon as possible, and reduce the sacrifices and killings that should not have happened."
Hu Cai had no way out for a long time. When he heard this, he nodded repeatedly and said with an apologetic smile: "Absolutely, definitely! Since Hu has surrendered, he belongs to the young master. Whatever the young master says, Hu will definitely obey."
Although Tao Shang's move cut off Hu Cai's escape route, it also relieved Hu Cai's mental pressure a lot. Judging from the current situation, Tao Shang did not want to eliminate the Bai Bo Army, but just wanted to conquer the Bai Bo Army.
That's it, then doing things for him is not considered a betrayal. On the contrary, I am still looking for a good future for the brothers in the valley!
I have to say that Hu Cai is very good at self-hypnosis.
The potter nodded, hesitated for a moment, then suddenly stood up and clapped his hands.
Outside the handsome tent, two brothers, Pei Ben and Pei Jing, carried a box into the tent.
The potter's cheek twitched unnoticed, and then he showed a kind smile and said: "Tao has always had a clear distinction between grudges and grudges. He is my enemy. Tao will never show mercy and swears to destroy him! But he is willing to be me
As a friend, Tao also wants him to get an unexpected reward. In this box..."
Having said this, the pottery merchant paused, and his tone suddenly became trembling.
"In this box... there is... ten thousand dollars. It is a little bit of my kindness. Please accept it, Brother Hu."
Pei Ben opened the box, and Hu Cai took a look inside the box, feeling dizzy.
Guo Dawei was stingy and was very stingy towards his commanders. As a result, Hu Cai had been the commander for so many years, but he had hardly received any rewards.
He has never seen so much money in his life!
This happiness came too suddenly, so sudden that Hu Cai felt like he was so happy that he was in the sky.
Hu Cai stuttered a little because of his excitement: "Tao... Da... Gong, Gong..."
Tao Shang smiled and said softly: "Brother Hu, don't be so excited, straighten your tongue and speak. I don't want to hear the title Grand Eunuch."
"Master Tao!" Hu Cai gritted his teeth and said the title excitedly: "Master Tao, you are too polite..."
The pottery merchant said with a smile: "It's just a meeting gift. It's also a small compensation for the shock of Brother Hu today. I also ask Brother Hu to accept it. After this war is over, I hope Brother Hu can stay with me in Xuzhou."
In the army, he showed his talents and became famous all over the world, and his name will last forever."
Be famous all over the world and be famous forever? Can I do it too?
Hu Cai was very excited. At first, the pottery merchant threatened and intimidated him, and then he brought out the surrendered soldiers of the Baibo Army to show him. Hu Cai felt that the pottery merchant was taking advantage of him... But now it seems that he is not.
Mr. Tao sincerely hopes to join his camp!
This ten thousand dollars is his sincerity!
Thinking of this, Hu Cai turned his head again and looked at the money in the box, feeling filled with emotion. This was a treatment that he had never dared to imagine when he was in the Baibo Army.
At this time, Hu Cai secretly made up his mind. He stepped forward, carefully closed the lid of the box, knelt down on one knee, and said respectfully to the pottery merchant: "Hu is not talented, and I am willing to work hard for the eldest son."
!”
Tao Shang nodded and said: "Brother Hu, if you return to Baibo Valley without any injuries, I'm afraid it will arouse Guo Da's suspicion. My guards may use some tricks on you... You
You know, it’s a cruel trick! This is also a last resort.”
Hu Cai nodded vigorously and said: "I understand, I understand. If you want to leave any injuries on me, just send someone to do it! There is no need to hold back your hands, Hu is rough-skinned and thick-bodied, and he can withstand a knife and a gun!"
The pottery merchant smiled and nodded, winking at Pei Ben.
Pei Ben stretched out his hand and gestured to invite Hu Cai to come out of the tent to be tortured. Hu Cai put the wooden box on his shoulder, thanked the pottery merchant profusely, and followed Pei Ben out of the handsome tent.
Not long after Hu Cai's figure disappeared, the pottery merchant was seen slowly sitting down, his eyes suddenly turned red, and they were filled with painful tears in an instant.
"Damn Baibo thief! First the five hundred gold coins, and then the ten thousand coins Mi Zhu gave me! It's gone... now all my belongings are gone!"
