Chapter 318: One million stone of grain, plus thirty million taels of silver
The staff's heart moved, and he couldn't help but gasp and said:
"Shhh
Prince Gregory smacked his mouth and said indifferently:
"Failure, I'm afraid it's more than failure, so the king doesn't dare not agree. If you don't agree, thinking of facing Qin Xiu's revenge, I'm afraid that our majesty the king won't even be able to sleep peacefully. ”
The staff suddenly realized:
"I see, then since we have come to Huanwang City, and your political goal has been achieved, can't we return to the grassland immediately?
Prince Gregory pursed his lips and said coldly:
"Do you think that if we go back in a hurry, we won't anger Qin Xiu?"
The staff muttered:
"If Qin Xiu is angered, I'm afraid that on our way back, the other party will be full of traps along the road. What do you mean, Prince?"
Prince Gregory nodded slightly, and said helplessly:
"We have to besiege Huanwang City here for at least a period of time, so that Huanwang City has a kind of despair of running out of food, only in this case, cooperate with Qin Xiu to put on a good show and kill the sharp spirit of this Huanwang City Lord. ”
The staff pondered and meditated:
"But in this way, Prince, don't you gain no benefits at all, but instead cheapen the big demon king for nothing?"
Prince Gregory paced up and down, and pretended to explain:
"How could this king not have gained benefits! This king has not only regained his original prestige, but can also negotiate with Huanwang City to obtain enough money and food......
For the army of the Barbarian Wolf Clan to besiege but not attack, Fang Junxiong, the city lord of Huanwang City, has been a little exhausted in the past few days.
He also knew very well in his heart that the territory of the Hua Dynasty could not send a large army to come to the rescue, and the surrounding cities were just a drop in the bucket, which could solve the current crisis.
As for Qin Xiu?
There are only 20,000 horses, and Fang Junxiong, the city lord of the city, doesn't look at it at all.
What do you say, Qin Xiu won more with less, defeated and defeated the 50,000 army of the Barbarian Wolf Clan with 1,000 cavalry, and also led the troops to the grassland for a walk, destroying many tribes of the Barbarian Wolf Clan.
No matter what the above things are said, Fang Junxiong, the city lord of Huanwang City, will not believe it, but will only be jealous in his heart-
Qin Xiu's luck is so good, it's just shit luck.
If you have such good luck, maybe the results will be even richer.
So he didn't take Qin Xiu to heart at all, let alone invite Qin Xiu to come for reinforcements.
But the current situation is not right, being besieged in the city for so many days in a row, all kinds of problems have been exposed at once.
Even Fang Junxiong, the city lord of Huanwang City, who was originally very calm, couldn't hold his breath a little anymore.
The main thing is that the army of the barbarian wolf clan outside the city is not in a hurry to attack the city at all, so when they surround the city, it makes people panic, everyone says that the army of the barbarian wolf clan has a back hand, and it should be waiting for some opportunity.
Otherwise, it would never have been so long, and there would have been no attack, and there would have been no evacuation, and there would have been some conspiracy and trickery in the way it was.
These words are very reasonable, not only Fang Junxiong, the lord of the city, believes it, but even the people in the city are convinced.
The guard hurriedly stepped forward and said:
"City Lord, I received a letter from the other party!"
Fang Junxiong's City Lord's eyes lit up and said:
"What does it say?"
The guard stammered:
"He said that he wanted us to provide enough silver taels and grain and grass, otherwise the other party would definitely not leave easily, and said that our territory is very turbulent now, and if the siege continues, there will be no reinforcements coming over nine times out of ten. At that point, the price will go up!"
Fang Junxiong's heart moved:
"Did you say how much grain and silver taels you wanted?"
The guard barely calmed down and said:
"One million stones of grain, plus thirty million taels of silver!"
Fang Junxiong's eyebrows furrowed and said:
"Why do you want so much, this is too dark! If there are so many silver taels, you can get the surrounding troops to come and reinforce them. ”
The staff waved his hand to signal the guards to go down first, and then said solemnly:
"Yes, city lord, the most troublesome thing, once this kind of thing breaks out, I am afraid that you will be condemned by the court. ”
Fang Junxiong City Lord hesitated and said:
"Why don't you try it first and see if you can talk?"
The staff shook his head slightly and said:
"I'm afraid it's not appropriate, even if the negotiation is over, the other party will wait for the silver taels and grain, but he won't leave, so he has to make up so much before leaving?"
Fang Junxiong City Lord had a headache and said:
"Yes, how can I think this kind of request of the barbarian wolf clan is unreliable?"
Suddenly, the staff's eyes lit up and said:
"But it may not be impossible to try, after all, you don't need to pay for it from the city lord, and if the time is right, you may be able to make a lot of profits. ”
Fang Junxiong's expression became excited, and he said:
"You mean that the rich merchants and rich families in the city came to give this money and let them donate for nothing, and they may not be willing to do so!"
The staff talked and laughed calmly:
"You can secretly launch an offensive against the people, there are really people who are unwilling to pay, let the people spit on them one by one, and believe that no one will feel good......"
After Qin Xiu returned to the barracks, he suddenly found that the official fortunes during this period were still converging, in addition to Lingxing City, Fengchang City, Yuncheng Great Wall, and Zhounan City, several cities of the United Defense Alliance were constantly exuding a large number of official fortunes, pouring towards Qin Xiu, and even Huanwang City, which was besieged by the army, was intermittently emitting a lot of official fortunes.
Regardless of the number of official fortunes, according to the number of people in Huanwang City, each city should be ten times that of other cities, which means that only a part of the people of Huanwang City pinned their hopes on Qin Xiu.
The reason why Lingxing City, Fengchang City, Yuncheng Great Wall, and Zhounan City are constantly passing official transportation to Qin Xiu is that the people inside are very happy.
This army of the barbarian wolf clan did not attack their city, it seems that it is still Qin Xiu's garrison outside the city that can deter these army of the barbarian wolf clan.
Therefore, the people are very grateful for Qin Xiu's contributions, and they are constantly passing on official transportation to Qin Xiu one by one.
As for the people around the city, it is not so good, now that the army of the barbarian wolf clan has attacked the city, it may be broken by the other party at any time, so at this time, a small part of the people in the city have heard of Qin Xiu's deeds, and how much Ba Wang Qin Xiu can lead the army to defeat the army of the barbarian wolf clan and save the people in the city.
Qin Xiu was naturally very happy to see so many officials and troops gathered over, it would be even cooler if more official fortunes could come!
So I couldn't help but turn my gaze to the bottom of the city, and with the help of the eyes of bees and giant eagles, I began to observe the city!
"Huh!"
Qin Xiu suddenly noticed that the situation had changed.
