The quartermaster went there in confusion, and returned in confusion carrying the food.
He kept looking up at the sky along the way, and he seriously suspected that the sun rose from the west today.
The soldier pulling the cart didn't understand what was going on, so he also looked up at the sky, but after looking for a long time, he didn't see anything.
He quickly moved closer and asked the quartermaster, "Boss, is your neck uncomfortable?
What are you still looking for? Why do you keep looking up at the sky? "
The quartermaster was worried that no one could answer his questions, and this guy happened to ask him, so it might be a good idea to talk to him about it.
Ask the soldier, "Don't you think what happened today is a bit strange?"
The soldier was confused by the question and shook his head, "It's not strange, boss!
What's strange about that? "
The quartermaster was even more confused, pointing at the supplies that had just been brought back from the Liao army on the vehicle and said, "Isn't this strange?
The Liao army has always been extremely stingy, why are they suddenly so generous this time?
As soon as we asked for it, they gave it to us without even a fight.
To be honest, if it wasn’t right in front of me, I would have thought I was dreaming!”
"Hey! That's what you're talking about!
I was wondering what the big deal was!
Maybe the Liao army has come to terms with it. After all, we are friendly forces and the cooperative relationship is there!
How does the saying go? Yes, when one prospers, all prosper; when one suffers, all suffer.
We are about to run out of food. If the Liao army doesn't do anything, there will be only two outcomes for us.
One was to break up with the Liao army, fight them and steal their food.
The other thing is that they watched us starve to death.
But no matter which result it is, it will not be good for the Liao army.
If we all starve to death, the Liao army will not be able to defeat the Daliang army, and we will all die at their hands sooner or later."
The quartermaster's eyes suddenly widened and he looked up and down at the soldier in front of him.
Patting him on the shoulder, he said, “Well, that makes sense!
Your analysis is good. Why didn’t I realize that you are a talented person before?
What you said makes perfect sense. After your analysis, everything suddenly becomes clear to me!
And you sound like you are educated, good, stay with me from now on and be my assistant."
The soldier didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly, and he knelt down to express his gratitude.
Now the quartermaster liked this soldier more, thinking he was quite considerate and capable.
He quickly helped the soldier up and said, "Stay by my side and work hard. I won't treat you unfairly."
After eating and drinking, Ouyang Jing finally felt comfortable. Just as he was about to lie down and rest for a while, an envoy from the Liao Kingdom asked to see him.
"What a bummer!" Ouyang Jing cursed inwardly.
He thought the Liao envoys were asking him for the antidote, and was about to tell them to stop dreaming.
It turned out that he had misunderstood and the Liao envoys were here to collect debts.
He immediately piled a bunch of account books in front of Ouyang Jing and said, "If you kill someone, you must pay for your life; if you owe a debt, you must pay for it. This is only natural.
You, the ruler of Tiansheng Country, won't default on your debt, right?"
Ouyang Jing thought he was asking for the previous accounts, and said shamelessly: "Didn't you agree to give me three days?
The day isn't over yet, what are you doing?"
The messenger calmly opened the account book and showed it to Ouyang Jing, "You are so young that your eyesight is not blurry, right?
This is today's account book, and it is different from the previous ones."
"What account book today?" Ouyang Jing blurted out.
Hey! Now the Liao envoy is not going to do it anymore.
He just started shouting at the top of his lungs, "Come and listen, the ruler of Tiansheng Country is actually refusing to pay his debts.
What's the difference between this and the street scoundrels? It's really ridiculous!"
Ouyang Jing immediately ordered his personal eunuchs and secret guards to subdue the man, gag him, and tie him up.
He walked up to him and slapped him hard.
"What are you shouting for? Are you trying to show off your loud voice?
Listen carefully, I will untie your mouth in a moment, and you just answer whatever I ask you.
If you dare to go crazy and scream again, I will have someone cut off your tongue with a knife so that you will never be able to scream again in your life.
Did you hear that? "
The Liao envoy was so frightened that he nodded quickly to indicate that he understood.
Ouyang Jing casually picked up an account book and was stunned after reading it.
Ask the Liao envoy, "Are these the accounts of the supplies we brought over today?"
The Liao envoy nodded quickly.
Ouyang Jing was so angry that he laughed. He put the account book directly in the face of the Liao envoy and asked him.
"You guys in Liao have never seen money, or did you start out as loan sharks?
A big black pot costs one hundred taels of silver, and the interest is one tael of silver every day. Is your pot made of gold?"
The Liao envoy was about to cry, "Every wrong has its perpetrator, and whoever has offended you must make amends.
I didn't keep this account. I just happened to be assigned this task because I was in a hurry. There's no point in getting angry with me!
And I didn't want to come, but the Queen Mother controlled more than ten members of my family.
If I hadn't come today, they would all have died."
After that, the Liao envoy cried like a child, gasping for breath.
Ouyang Jing was even more upset when he was howling. "Shut up, it's too early for you to wail now. Save your tears and wail again when you return to your Liao Kingdom!"
Now the Liao envoy couldn't even cry out, because Ouyang Jing had no intention of paying back the money at all!
Before letting him go, Ouyang Jing asked the Liao envoy to tell Xiao Yuanying, "When you go back, tell that old witch that if she doesn't want to die so soon, she should stop making trouble for me.
Otherwise, I will make her twice as unhappy. If she doesn't believe it, we will compete to see who is more ruthless!"
As a result, the Liao envoy shook his head and said, "I guess you don't have this opportunity. Just before I set off, the Queen Mother read out the will.
It doesn’t matter if she’s dead. She was so old and had lived enough.
But she couldn't swallow this anger, but she also knew that the little emperor's foundation was unstable and he had no ability to avenge her.
But Huo Jingxuan of Daliang must have the ability to avenge her, so she decided to let her trusted minister take the little emperor to Daliang to surrender to Huo Jingxuan.
From now on, we in Liao are willing to be a vassal state of Daliang, even if it is just a directly-administered county.
But the only condition is that Huo Jingxuan must destroy Tiansheng Country and you, Ouyang Jing."
"What?" Ouyang Jing shouted in shock.
He understood every word said by the Liao envoy, but he was a little confused about how they were put together!
"Is that old witch Xiao Yuanying crazy?"
