Chapter 433: Stealing His Things and Selling Them to Him
Hou Yuanji deliberately brought less food and was the first to arrive at the border.
The two countries that invaded Dasheng felt like they were facing a formidable enemy.
The generals of the two countries, who used to have frequent frictions, now get together all day to discuss how to deal with Da Sheng. They are so close that they are almost like a family.
The soldiers of the two armies, wrapped in thick cotton-padded clothes, were dumbfounded when they stole a glance at the Da Sheng soldiers on the opposite side.
"What kind of armor are they wearing and why are they wearing so little in the middle of winter?"
"Not only are they thin, but judging by their expressions, they don't seem to be cold at all."
The fact that every member of the Dasheng Army would have an extreme cold weather suit was something they had never imagined.
Lu Wanyin has collected so many mines, but they are not just for show.
Just the set of golden soft armor outside the extreme cold suit is invulnerable to swords and guns.
In other countries, only generals can wear it.
On the Dasheng side, even the soldiers under them have one.
The generals of the two armies studied it for a long time, then gritted their teeth and said: "They are only a hundred thousand strong. If we join forces, what are we afraid of?"
“You’re crazy
The intelligence said that the soldiers of Dasheng were equipped with armor and weapons that you and I had never seen before, and they could almost fight ten people at once.
Those are Dasheng’s soldiers, can we just look at the numbers?”
"Then what do you say we should do? Can we just wait for them to break in?"
The harmonious appearance just now collapsed in an instant.
The generals on both sides almost fought.
"We can't just sit there and wait for death, send someone over to talk first.
I heard that the commander-in-chief this time is Hou Yuanji, who is a complete playboy.
He doesn't know how to fight. If you give him some benefits, he might just leave with his troops."
Another person's eyes lit up: "It's him!
Then this matter will be easy.
This person was probably sent here by the old man from the Hou family, thinking that he could find a place for his grandson to relax and earn military merits.
Who said that Mr. Hou is a decent person with no selfish motives?
Isn't this still unavoidable cliché?
"Then give him benefits. He can ask for whatever he wants."
The two of them became more and more excited as they talked, and immediately decided: "Send people out now, you and I will each choose one. Even if that dandy kid kills one, there will still be one back."
The two sides were discussing matters, and the deputy generals were by their sides.
Soon, the two deputy generals left the tent and headed towards the Dasheng camp.
As the two left, the tent became quiet.
The atmosphere gradually became awkward.
Why do I think what I just said is a little wrong?
Why is beating them an advantage and gaining military merit?
The more they thought about it, the angrier they got. They slammed the table and said, "Is that old man from the Hou family looking down on us?"
The tent was quiet for a while, and the momentum of the person who was banging the table also weakened.
"Well... the Hou family is now considered one of the three great dynasties of Dasheng. It seems reasonable for them to look down on us."
So angry.
But apart from being furious and helpless, there seems to be nothing else that can be done.
The two looked at each other and saw each other's embarrassment.
One person couldn't help but change the subject: "Tell me, how many of our people can come back?"
When two armies are at war, they do not kill messengers, but only when the other party is being reasonable.
The gap in strength is too huge. If Da Sheng really doesn't want to reason with them, they really have no choice.
"After all, we are a great country, so we shouldn't be so bad-tempered."
The more they spoke, the more guilty they felt.
Fortunately, not long after, the two deputy generals who were sent out both returned.
"Replying to the General, the General Hou of Dasheng has completely ignored me. They also said..."
The generals on both sides were getting anxious and angry: "What can't be said in one go?"
The deputy general looked strange: "Lord Hou over there said that they forgot to bring food, so they asked us to send three days' worth of food for the 100,000-man army first, and then they will consider your suggestion carefully."
"What!"
Both generals were shocked.
"Isn't he sick? How can he ask the enemy for food when he's fighting?"
"Why should we give them food? This is not the way to bully people. Tell them, this is impossible."
The deputy general lowered his head and said, "I also said it was impossible, but General Hou said they only have one day's worth of food left. If the two generals disagree, they will come and get it themselves tomorrow."
threaten!
An undisguised threat!
The two generals' faces turned green: "This is too much, it's simply too much!
Hou Yuanji is so bold! Why didn't he just say that we should give him ten cities?"
The deputy general looked up in shock. "General, you all know what Hou Yuanji did say. If we are willing to give up ten cities, they only need one day's food and leave immediately."
"impossible!"
The two generals were so angry that they pounded the table: "Tell them, this kind of thing is impossible even if you kill me."
All we fight for in life is a breath of fresh air.
"yes!"
The deputy general went out happily.
When they heard this, they felt completely humiliated.
It's so satisfying to be able to respond with such courage.
The deputy general left in high spirits, and the two generals also felt relieved.
Before they could be happy for a while, the deputy general came back with a gloomy face: "Sir."
He said with a sad face: "The servant said, very good, then I will beat you to death."
"thump."
"thump!"
The two generals fell down at the same time.
*
The next day, Hou Yuanji received an accurate reply and did not wait even a day.
The army set out, divided into two halves, and pressed directly into the territories of the two countries.
The goal is clear, head straight to the granary.
Before the army moves, food and supplies must be sent ahead.
As soon as the news of Da Sheng's movement was learned, a large amount of food and supplies were sent here.
The 100,000-strong army came with great momentum. The two countries were already afraid of Da Sheng and had no intention of resisting. As soon as they met, they quickly withdrew.
This is just a good deal for Hou Yuanji and his men.
Whatever he saw was taken away, even the scattered rice grains on the ground had to be swept away with a broom.
Xuan Jiu's mouth twitched as he watched, "We can't eat so much. Madam said we are not allowed to kill innocent people.
If everyone starves to death, it will be considered a mission failure."
"Who asked them to take our food first?"
Hou Yuanji refused to give in: "Besides, they can really starve themselves to death.
Xuan Jiu, starting tomorrow, you will take 20,000 troops to sell food. Don't go too far, just sell it near where the two countries' armies are stationed. The price... must be twice the normal price.
As long as they buy food, they won’t starve to death.”
Even though Xuan Jiu was smart, he couldn't figure it out for a while.
"Wait, let me think about this. We robbed other people's food and then sold it to them."
Hou Yuanji said confidently: "Just tell me whether it can be sold or not."
Xuan Jiu was silent for a long time: "This... can be sold."
It actually sold.
They can't really starve themselves to death just for a little money.
“That’s all.”
Hou Yuanji was very proud: "Just keep an eye on where they store the food. Tomorrow, we will go and rob it."
