Chapter 434 You Did It On Purpose
"What"
Xuan Jiu was not calm anymore: "Can I know why?"
"We can't kill them indiscriminately, and we can't blackmail them... No, we need some other compensation, otherwise, it would be too easy for them."
Hou Yuanji chuckled and said, "Since the boss has given me so much time, he wants me to have fun here.
If I don't kill them, anyone who wants to do something to us in the future should think twice."
Okay, okay, this is how we play it, right?
Xuan Jiu held his forehead and said, "Then why don't you just grab the silver?"
We have to go around such a big bend
Hou Yuanji was unhappy: "What are you talking about? It's so unpleasant.
It damages the reputation of our Dasheng.
When this general was hanging around in Beijing, he always had to find a decent excuse for everything he did.
We are now conducting a legitimate counterattack. We are running out of food, so we have no choice but to move some food to fill our stomachs.
If it weren't for the pity of these starving soldiers, how could this general have shown mercy and returned the food?
They asked for some money just to save their face.
We are all soldiers, how can we accept food given out of pity?
Xuan Jiu was completely speechless. "Excellent! I'll report the situation to the master right away."
When it comes to shamelessness, it has to be this big playboy.
The lady does have her reasons for employing people.
Lu Wanyin was still in the petting zoo, guiding the two children to practice their superpowers.
After receiving the report from the army, he smiled slightly and said, "As expected, when this kind of thing is left to Hou Yuanji, there will always be unexpected gains.
Tell Xuanjiu that Hou Yuanji has done a great job and ask him to cooperate fully.
Since we need to sell grain, we don’t have enough people to manage it.
Send Diqi over to help as well; he's spent more time with Hou Yuanji and they work better together."
The second day.
The fact that Hou Yuanji sent people to sell grain caused an uproar in both armies.
"Are they humiliating us? They are definitely humiliating us."
The two generals started banging the table again.
My hand still hurts from being hit yesterday, and I couldn’t help it today.
The deputy general held his stomach and said: "Then, General, should we buy it?"
A series of stomach rumbling sounds were heard in the tent.
They fled in a hurry yesterday, and Hou Yuanji looted them so thoroughly that he didn't leave them a single grain of rice.
It's been a day, and apart from the dry food I brought with me to fill my stomach, I can't even find some wild vegetables in the middle of winter.
If this continues, they will starve to death, not to mention fighting.
The general couldn't help swallowing his saliva and asked: "Is the remaining salary on both sides enough?"
The deputy general was delighted: "Hou Yuanji is quite kind. The grain price has only doubled. The remaining salary we have is just enough to buy all their grain."
The general began to feel unbalanced again: "Double it! Why doesn't he just go and grab it?"
"Or what do you think they are doing now?"
The deputy general said frankly: "General, we are enemies. It's great that they are willing to sell us food."
Too.
The general waved his hands impatiently, "Go, go, go, buy the food first. Also, send a letter back to the capital immediately, saying that our army is no match for the Da Sheng army and requesting more money from the court."
What kind of thing is this? The Dasheng army behaved like this, yet they are still good people.
Dasheng camp.
Hou Yuanji looked at the boxes of gold and silver he had snatched from the enemy, and laughed so hard that his eyes could hardly open.
With his physique that would normally make him gasp for breath after running two laps, he managed to count all the boxes of gold and silver himself before stopping.
"Send someone to deliver it to the boss first."
Hou Yuanji was very proud: "Finally, this is a place for me to show my abilities."
Xuan Jiu suppressed his laughter: "Why don't you wait for the next batch to arrive and send them together?"
Anyway, he had to sell the food he had looted.
Hou Yuanji chuckled, "That will take several days. It's freezing cold, and it will take several more days for them to deliver the new pay."
That night.
The allied soldiers of the two countries, who had eaten and drunk their fill, had just fallen asleep when they heard a burst of shouting and killing.
The familiar scene is here again.
They were exhausted during the day and were feeling sleepy now.
The Da Sheng army had been recuperating during the day and was in high spirits at this moment.
He was beaten again and had no chance to fight back.
When they retreated several dozen miles and stopped to catch their breath, the deputy general's voice sounded like a nightmare: "General, our food and supplies have been stolen by those damned bastards again!"
The general felt his eyes go dark: "How much is left?"
"General, the floor has been swept clean."
Dasheng military camp.
Di Qi went to the two army camps to inquire about the news and came back. Looking at Hou Yuanji who was waiting anxiously for the situation, he seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"...Or, you'd better not listen. Their curses are a bit dirty."
.
Hou Yuanji's move almost angered the generals on both sides to death.
They gritted their teeth and stopped sending people to negotiate with Hou Yuanji: "Shaoxue! Kill a small number of war horses first. If we go to them now, wouldn't it be a disgrace to both our armies?"
Even if they wanted to talk, they would take the initiative to come to us!"
Eating war horses is a big taboo in the army.
If they had no other choice, they wouldn't want to go this far.
One day, two days.
…
On the fourth day, a soldier finally came to the tent and reported, "General, Dasheng has sent someone to discuss an important matter."
The general's spirits lifted, and he was overjoyed: "See, no persistence means victory. Dasheng finally couldn't sit still anymore, and they took the initiative to come to negotiate with me!"
He raised his hand as if he had won a battle and said, "Bring the person in."
The soldier was stunned for a moment, then quickly explained, "General, that man said a few words and then left.
He said, "Our wages should have arrived, and the price of grain has dropped. It's only 50% more expensive. Please consider it carefully, General. If you miss this opportunity, you'll miss it forever."
Sure enough, the next moment, another soldier came to report: "General, the salary sent by the court has arrived."
Click.
The wolf-hair brush in the general's hand broke.
You're playing a trick on them, right?
How come Da Sheng knows more about their salary progress than a general like him?
He slumped down in his chair, "How much is the new salary?"
The deputy general was silent for a long time: "Just enough... to buy the grain that Dasheng mentioned."
Bang!
The general was so angry that he smashed even the inkstone.
The food that was robbed by Dasheng for the second time was finally bought back by them.
In the cold winter, it is really difficult to get food.
But this time, after having a full meal, the two armies were not happy at all.
The two generals sat on either side.
They could all guess that with Hou Yuanji's shameless attitude, they would definitely use the same trick again to get the remaining food.
A general gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it! We can't run fast even if we take the food with us.
If you want your life, you can't ask for food; if you want food, you can't ask for your life. If you can leave the food where it is, so that the other party is hesitant to take it, that would be great."
After these words were spoken, there was silence in the tent for a moment.
One of the counselors stood up excitedly and said: "General, you are wise. I have a plan that can make this happen."
