Chapter 362: Envelopment (2)
Originally, Zhao Yu didn't want to debunk the details of Xu Bai and Wang Ping, because there was nothing at stake.
But now that Ishihara and Chen Gui have shown the intention of 'hoping to be reused', Zhao Yu also wants to try it to see if he can win these two people under him, after all, these two people are indeed very capable.
It is necessary to win over the two of them, first of all, to win the trust of the other party, and throwing out Xu Bai and Wang Ping is obviously the most powerful way.
Looking at the silent Shi Yuan and Chen Gui, Zhao Yu said with a smile: "Xu Bai and Wang Ping, I don't know what purpose they have mixed into my Black Tiger Village, but so far, instead of doing things that endanger my Black Tiger Village, they have made many meritorious deeds, since they have merit, they will naturally be rewarded, as for their betrayal in the future, it is another matter......
“……”
Ishihara and Chen Gui glanced at each other, and they both felt a little incredible.
They originally thought that Xu Bai and Wang Ping could thrive in the Black Tiger Village, because everyone in the Black Tiger Village didn't know the details of the two, but they didn't expect that the leader of the Black Tiger Thief in front of them knew this clearly.
And what is incredible is that even after learning that Xu Bai and Wang Ping were 'spies' who had mixed into his Black Tiger Village, the leader of the Black Tiger Thieves still acquiesced in the cottage to reward Xu Bai and the others for their meritorious deeds, and I have to say that the strength of the leader of the Black Tiger Thieves is really quite rare.
"Leader Zhou's strength is magnificent." Chen Gui sincerely clenched his fists and praised.
"Gas?"
Zhao Yu shook his head with a smile and corrected: "No, it's because I have self-confidence, and I have confidence that I won't become enemies with each other." I said a long time ago that I am different from Yang Tong, Yang Tong is just a little thief who robs houses, I am not that kind of little thief......"
"Yes, you're the giant who kidnapped the county seat!"
Ishihara glanced at Zhao Yu and muttered to himself.
No matter how he commented, compared to the leader of the black tiger thief in front of him, Yang Tong was really too far behind.
Zhao Yu didn't know what Ishihara was thinking, and sighed half-truthfully: "When I was by Yang Tong's side back then, I also persuaded him many times, after all, robbing homes and houses is just a wrong way, and there are many ways to get money in this world that are no less than robbing...... For example, a merchant, I work hard every day in Black Tiger Village, how much can I gain in a day? Those merchants organized a caravan, and the back and forth income was more than those of us who had worked hard to loot for months, not to mention those treacherous merchants who hoarded and resold them. Relying on robbery for a living, this road will not go far after all......"
“……”
Ishihara and Chen Gui listened with their mouths open, dumbfounded.
They couldn't believe that such words could come out of the mouth of a bandit leader.
But they also understood that the leader of the black tiger thieves in front of them was not lying, because after Zhou Hu replaced Yang Tong, he quickly recruited a group of Yexian businessmen and formed the 'Kunye Mutual Benefit Association', following the example of the Luye Mutual Aid Chamber of Commerce in Ye County, and started a business with Wancheng Military City.
Not caring about the looks of the two, Zhao Yu continued: "But Yang Tong didn't listen, and was content to loot the poor villages under the mountain all day long...... Those poor villages are no better than my Black Tiger Village, what can they grab? Even if you can grab it for a while, can you grab it for a lifetime? If you fish with all your might, there will be no fish in the coming year, and Yang Tong doesn't understand it at all. ”
“……”
Chen Gui opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
He couldn't imagine hearing such an insightful statement from the mouth of a bandit leader.
At this time, I saw Zhao Yu's words turn around, stroked his palms and said with a smile: "Therefore, after I took power, I gradually made changes." …… I always believe that my Black Tiger Village and the county town can coexist peacefully, just like now, so I have no ill will towards the county army or the four of you. But unfortunately, you have always had prejudices against Zhou...... It's not good. Since we are free today, why don't you and I exchange views, Ishihara, what do you think? ”
“……”
Ishihara looked up at Zhao Yu and stopped talking.
As the other party said, he has always had prejudices against the Black Tiger Thief and the leader of the Black Tiger Thief in front of him, but in fact, as Zhou Hu said, after he replaced Yang Tong, the Black Tiger Thief was indeed less and less evil in his Kunyang.
Of course, the corresponding threat is getting bigger and bigger, after all, Yang Tong was just a small thief at the beginning, but the one in front of him is a giant who has the ability and courage to 'kidnap the county', and the harm of the two is completely incomparable.
After a long breath, Ishihara said seriously: "I admit that I do have prejudices against the Black Tiger Thief and the leader of Zhou...... The prejudice against the Black Tiger Thief is nothing more than the various evil deeds of the Black Tiger Thief at the beginning, and as for the prejudice against the leader of Zhou, I can only say ...... Chief Zhou's talent and ambition made me feel terrified. ”
"Huh?"
Zhao Yu was stunned, and then laughed: "You don't look like a person who can flatter." ”
"It's not flattery."
Ishihara said solemnly: "I am indeed uneasy about the ability and ambition of Leader Zhou. ”
After a pause, he said with a straight face: "Now, the county government and the Black Tiger Village have a common enemy, but what if the rebels are defeated in the future?" What posture will the Black Tigers continue to exist in the county? ”
"Maintain the status quo."
Zhao Yu said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this. …… My Black Tiger Village will never replace the county government, will not replace the county army, this is a matter of course, or do you think I want to rebel? ”
Ishihara didn't doubt this, he nodded and said, "What about in private? Leader Zhou doesn't have to hide it, in fact, I also know that even in my county army, there are many people who have secretly joined the brotherhood......"
Zhao Yu shook his head and said, "Well, I don't deny this, but this move is not aimed at the county government or the county army. ”
As he spoke, he asked Ishihara rhetorically: "If I can guarantee that in the future, I will restrain the Black Tigers and never harm Kunyang, I wonder if I can resolve Shi Zhutou's prejudice against Zhou?" ”
Ishihara glanced at Zhao Yu and asked, "Will Zaixia's reply affect whether or not Chief Zhou agrees to Zaixia's request?" "Look at the Book Pavilion
"Of course not." Zhao Yu smiled dumbly.
Ishihara looked at Zhao Yu deeply, nodded after a while, and said, "Okay, as long as Leader Zhou can guarantee to restrain the Black Tigers, I am willing to let go of my prejudices against the Black Tigers and Leader Zhou......
Although Ishihara's answer sounded a little arrogant, Zhao Yu didn't care, and said with a smile: "Look, I'll just say that there is actually no conflict of interest between us. ”
"Less...... LinkedIn. ”
Shizunu praised from the side.
"Alright, now let's come back and talk about your two opinions." After laughing, Zhao Yu asked Ishihara with a smile: "I remember what you just said, do you want to be reused in the county army?" Right? ”
"Yes." Ishihara nodded.
"Even if you yourself understand that there is no difference between being reused in the county army and being reused under Zhou?"
“…… Be. Ishihara nodded hesitantly.
Hearing this, Zhao Yu couldn't help laughing: "Hehe, sure enough, you are a stubborn person......"
"What Leader Zhou said is extremely true, Ah Yuan, this guy is this dead character, too stubborn......"
Although he had noticed that Zhao Yu was not angry, Chen Gui still stood by the side for Ishihara, after all, in his opinion, Ishihara's words and deeds did have a lot of faux pas, but fortunately, the leader of the black tiger thief in front of him was very angry and did not blame him.
Of course, Zhao Yu understood what Chen Gui meant, and he didn't say anything, and said with a smile: "I don't hate assertive people...... Well, since you want to be reused in the county army, I think you should have some thoughts on this, let's talk about it. ”
Not to mention Chen Gui, even Ishihara was surprised by the good looks of the leader of the black tiger thief, after thinking about it, Ishihara Masase said: "I know that Leader Zhou has no intention of suppressing the county army, but in the same way, Leader Zhou does not attach much importance to the county army, such as the official system and meritorious system implemented by the Black Tiger Village, and the county army has not seen any movement here......"
Zhao Yu listened quietly to Ishihara's words.
In fact, Ishihara was right, although Zhao Yu did not mean to suppress the county army, but at the same time, he did not have the idea of vigorously developing the county army, after all, the county army belonged to the imperial court and Yingchuan County in terms of 'righteousness'.
Therefore, Zhao Yu's requirements for the county army, or the goal of development, are only to the extent that 'the county army can defend the city wall', and he did not put too much thought into it.
After all, in the final analysis, his current identity has not been recognized by Li Min, the warden of Yingchuan County, who knows what will happen in the future?
He had to be on guard after all.
But since Ishihara mentioned this matter today, Zhao Yu also thought about it carefully.
After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Yu Zhengse said to Shi Yuan and Chen Gui: "You are indeed right, I really don't care much about the county army, I just ask the county army to guard the city wall, not that there is any prejudice against you and the county army, the key is that Yingchuan County has not yet affirmed my Zhou Hu and my Black Tiger Village, and even, Li Min, the county guard of Yingchuan, has deceived me many times in this matter...... The county government and the county army are ultimately biased towards the attitude of the county in the general righteousness......"
“……”
Ishihara and Chen Gui suddenly realized that their feelings were the relationship between Yingchuan County.
At this time, he saw Zhao Yu nodded, and said: "If someone else mentions it, I may not listen to it, but since it was you, Ishihara, proposed it...... Well, since that's the case, I'll discuss with Liu County Ling and Li Xiancheng to see if the county army can also follow the official system of Black Tiger Village and get promoted, and give them the same treatment as the Black Tiger Clan......"
"Why ...... I? Ishihara asked, stunned.
Zhao Yu smiled and said, "Because you are also my Zhou Hu's 'noble', if you hadn't led someone to severely damage Yang Tong and kill him, how could I take his place?" …… Now do you understand why I put up with you and the other four so much? ”
“……”
Ishihara and Chen Gui looked at each other.
From the very beginning, they vaguely felt that the leader of the black tiger thieves in front of them was extra tolerant of them for some reason, and their feelings were because of this.
"I'm so lucky!"
Chen Gui secretly rejoiced.
Compared with Chen Gui's happiness, Ishihara's mood was more complicated.
He never expected that it was precisely because he killed Yang Tong that Zhou Hu was on the throne, and the bad thing is that Zhou Hu's talent and ambition far surpassed Yang Tong.
But on the other hand, it is precisely because of Zhou Hu and the Black Tiger Village under his command that he can defend Kunyang County until now, so Ishihara is also quite entangled, I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.
In addition, Zhou Hu's sentence 'noble' also made him feel ...... Indescribable feelings, some fluttering, some ...... I can't tell.
After a while, after Ishihara and Chen Gui left satisfied, Jingnu asked curiously: "Young master, did you promise to increase the treatment of the county army in order to win over Ishihara and Chen Gui?" ”
"On the one hand."
Zhao Yu stood up, looked at the street outside the window, and said with a sigh: "On the other hand, I also hope to boost the morale of the county army. …… When Guan Shuo builds a camp, he is bound to storm Kunyang again, and at that time, relying on the Nanyang army and my Black Tiger Village alone may not be enough to hold the city, and the existence of the county army is very important......"
Facts proved that Zhao Yu's judgment was accurate, and four days later, that is, on the 10th day of the ninth month, the rebels, who had already set up camps on the east, south, and west sides of Kunyang County, launched another onslaught on Kunyang County.
And the intensity, more than the previous one.
