Chapter 964: The Magnificent Power of Han (Eighty-Eight)
In the huge lobby of Gaotang's left-behind mansion, Bai Yucheng, the leader of the Red Scarf Army, was sitting there without any attitude, his upper body leaning on the back of the chair, his big feet raised high, placed on top of the big case. The huge sole board pointed at the crowd of guests below. Bai Yucheng had just come back from outside. He didn't know whether he stepped on cow dung or horse dung. Anyway, there was a large yellow, black and black lump on the sole board, which was so unsightly stained. Up above, the two groups of guests below were nauseated. The red scarf army generals who were unable to stand or sit were even more unbearable. That Sun Scarzi was actually sitting on a chair in a corner, concentrating on Picking his feet.
These two groups are naturally the people of Young Master Tian from Jimo and the people of Young Master Tian from Linzi. Compared with the people of Second Young Master Tian, Young Master Tian from Linzi seems to be more sincere, and his carriages and horses are full of honors. Hundreds of people gathered, headed by Song Boxuan, who was a former Gaotang guard. He came to Gaotang with a yak in hand as the envoy of the King of Qi. At this time, he faced Li Hongchao, the envoy of Prince Tian, in the lobby. Naturally, he was even more imposing. Because Linzi Mr. Tian Er can't give it to this somewhat slovenly leader of the Red Scarf Army now.
The scabbard patted the table and Bai Yucheng spoke.
"This huge country of Qi has made it difficult for you two young masters of the Tian family to survive. I raised a flag and pulled the mountain. I was just acting on behalf of heaven to let everyone have a way to survive. Originally, I was looking at who of you Anyone who doesn't like you can beat him up, and he's not a good bird anyway, but now you want to recruit me and serve as my official, it's not impossible. I'm impatient to argue with you one by one, the two families face each other, set conditions, and negotiate benefits , I will follow whoever benefits me the most and makes me and my men live a better life!" Bai Yucheng himself is a horse bandit, and his subordinates Hengdao, Hutou, and Wei Zhiwen are also in this industry. Qiaochu, this look is not all fake, he is just showing his true colors. This look made both Song Boxuan and Li Hongchao frown.
Is there such a thing? Negotiation, since there are three parties involved, it must be bargaining behind closed doors. You ask for a high price, and I sit on the ground and pay back. In this way, everyone is brought together and everything is put on the table. It is really a bit underworld. For these red scarf thieves, the idea of gathering together to share the stolen goods is in line with their status, but for long-standing nobles like Song Boxuan and Li Hongchao, and the Hairpin Ying family, it really feels like they have lost their status.
But now that someone else has the initiative, the two of them can only grit their teeth and endure it. Although they feel contempt in their hearts, they still have to put on smiles on their faces. You two look at me, I look at you, no one wants to Speaking first, whoever speaks first is equivalent to showing his trump card to others first. If others make a move, they may not be able to resist.
Seeing the two people staring at each other, Bai Yucheng glanced at this and that, and said strangely: "Aren't you here to recruit me? Why are you not talking? Are you here to entertain me? You, first Say it!" He pointed casually, pointing straightly at Li Hongchao.
Li Hongchao stood up helplessly. This bandit leader was unreasonable at all. If he really pissed him off, it would be possible for him to be kicked out directly. He glanced at Song Boxuan, who was triumphantly smiling, and raised his hand: "Master Bai, Mr. Bai." , you are a hero. It is said that those who know the current affairs are heroes. Heroes should also choose good trees to live in, right?"
Bai Yucheng laughed and said nothing.
"The current domestic situation in Qi State, I believe Master Bai is also aware of it. The second young master has a hundred thousand soldiers in his hands. Since returning to the country, he has conquered all directions, and all those who have become fans have become fans. It is only a matter of time before he takes Linzi. If a leader wants to make a fortune, he must rely on the strong."
"So, your second son, Tian Fucheng, is this strong man?" Bai Yucheng laughed loudly, "I don't think it's that good either. His so-called elite soldiers and horses are still beaten to a pulp by me."
"The two generals Zhu and Chen did miss, but I'm afraid Master Bai also knows how this battle was fought. The two generals were unaware and underestimated the enemy and missed. Naturally, they deserve to die. But Master Bai only annihilated the second son. You have an insignificant power in your hand. Master Bai, if you used to be unknown in the past, the Second Young Master will naturally not take you seriously. If you really become an enemy in the eyes of the Second Young Master, and the Second Young Master brings an army to come, I don’t know what the Second Young Master will do. Is it possible for the master to resist?"
When the tiger head on the side heard this, he was furious. He reached out to pick up the shoes on the ground and threw them at Li Hongchao with a roar, "You are so stupid. You are here to threaten me. Boss, what are you saying to him?" , dragged him out and chopped off his head."
"If the two countries are fighting, why don't we kill the envoy!" In another corner, Wei Zhiwen swung his legs, "I think it would be best to drag him out and beat his ass."
"Why don't you cut off your nose, cut off your ears, and then put them back for Young Master Tian." Another insidious voice sounded.
Li Hongchao couldn't help but turn pale when he heard these gangsters yelling to kill them if they disagreed. Song Boxuan on the other side was happy that the other gang had hit a wall, but hearing these brutal methods of dealing with them, his heart was pounding. These people simply cannot be reasoned with. .
Bai Yu Cheng smiled and looked at Li Hongchao who was so choked that he rolled his eyes, "To put it bluntly, if your master asked you to come here to threaten me, then you can get out. I'm afraid that you will mess with me, so I will raise my troops now." If your master sees the truth, if you win, I will cut off your master's head and use it as a chamber pot. If you lose, I will go back to the sea to do business. If there is no benefit, the ghost will accept your recruitment."
Li Hongchao took a deep breath. This group of people only had interests in their eyes and didn't care about the general trend at all. They were just a group of desperadoes.
"Second Young Master said that as long as Master Bai is willing to surrender to us, then Master Bai will be made Gaotang's guard general, and everyone under his command will be named Gaotang garrison general." Li Hongchao said.
"That's all?" Bai Yucheng frowned.
Li Hongchao glanced at Song Boxuan, whose face was filled with joy, and shouted in his heart that something was wrong, but when he came, the price offered by Mr. Tian Er was this. I'm afraid that in Mr. Tian's heart, he still didn't let this gangster go too far. In the heart.
"That's it!" He said bravely, "I just want Master Bai to know that the second young master will attack Linzi soon. By then, Master Bai will have made great contributions to the country. What kind of glory and wealth will he not be able to capture?"
Bai Yucheng snorted, his face turned cold, and he turned to look at Song Boxuan, "It's your turn."
Song Boxuan straightened his clothes and stood up. He had already made up his mind. Compared with the price offered by the second young master Tian, the price offered by the first young master was simply astronomical. Comparing the two, he had taken a big advantage. At this time, He even preferred that the bandit leader brought the two sides together and made the comparison explicit.
"Tian Fucheng, the leader of the Bai family, is absolutely untrustworthy. When Qi was conquering Yan, he abandoned his father for unfilial piety. He treated his allies as trapped and refused to rescue them. This was unjust. He led his troops back to the country to start the war. Trying to usurp the throne is disloyal. It is unkind to sit back and watch the people under the rule be displaced, thousands of miles away and covered with bones. Such an unfaithful, uninstructed, unkind and unjust person, how can the leader of the White House expect such a person to keep his faith? In this way How can the people defeat our army? The people's will, this victory or defeat has been decided long ago." Song Boxuan said impassionedly.
"Why do I think this unfaithful, unfilial, benevolent and unjust person seems to have the upper hand now?" Bai Yucheng laughed. "It seems that your Qi State Court has been beaten back step by step, right?"
"Since ancient times, teachers of justice will always suffer some setbacks, but evil never defeats good. Although there are small setbacks, they do not damage the fundamentals. And God will not sit back and let such people do whatever they want, so God sent Master Bai to do whatever he wants. These heroes turned the tide and blocked Tian Fucheng's victory. In the battle of Qi, the offensive and defensive momentum has become difficult."
The generals of the Red Scarf Army in the hall were a little dumbfounded when they looked at this dignified and upright Qi official. Such flattering words came out of his mouth, and it seemed like it was natural and should be like this. It’s just knowledge! Everyone is filled with admiration.
"I'll accept this flattery!" Bai Yucheng laughed, "Let's get to the point, point it out. What benefits does Mr. Tian give me?"
"It's not Mr. Tian, but His Majesty King Qi!" Song Boxuan corrected.
"Take off your pants and fart, it's unnecessary!" Bai Yucheng waved his hand and emphasized again, "Let's get to the point."
"The King was delighted to hear that a righteous citizen like Master Bai raised the flag of righteousness and helped the king. He was overjoyed and decided to make Master Bai the Marquis of Gaotang. He will stay in Gaotang and rule Gaotang forever for the country and rest with the country!" Song Boxuan He loudly stated his conditions, and at the same time glanced sideways at Li Hongchao, with a proud look on his face.
Li Hongchao's ears buzzed when he heard the conditions offered by Song Boxuan.
"Of course, in addition to the title of Marquis, this envoy also brought with him 500,000 taels of labor military expenses and 50 vehicles of weapons and armor." Knowing that this group of red scarf thieves valued actual benefits more, Song Boxuan The second tangible benefit is immediately thrown out.
Bai Yucheng stood up loudly, "Master Hou? Yongzhen Gaotang, rest with the country, hahaha, this seems to be a bit sincere." He turned to look at Li Hongchao, "If Mr. Tian Er doesn't have anything better, Once the price is revealed, I will drive you away."
Li Hongchao looked bitter. Faced with such conditions offered by Linzi, how could the second young master get it with his current net worth?
Song Boxuan proudly took out the royal decree with the seal of King Qi from the box held by the servant behind him, and slowly unfolded it in front of Bai Yucheng, "Master Bai, please look, this is the royal decree of King Qi, because I don't know The specific name of Master Bai is taboo, so the name column is blank, Master Bai can fill it in himself."
Bai Yucheng laughed loudly, pressed the big button, leaped over, grabbed the king's life from Song Boxuan's hand, glanced at it, and said with a big smile: "Hahaha, I am the Marquis. You will all be the ones from now on." General, we are no longer bandits!"
In the hall, bursts of wild laughter rang out.
Amidst the laughter, Li Hongchao left sadly. The people shouting wildly in the hall did not pay attention to the envoy of Mr. Tian Er. (To be continued)
