Chapter 576: Negotiation
The super-first-class killer comes and goes without a trace, and he leaves without a trace, but Chang Yu and his party are rookies who beat gongs and drums, attracting everyone into a dilemma.
At this time, it is easy to kill the leader of this gang of thieves, and it is not difficult to break out of this yamen, but if you want to break out of Zhaozhou City, it is like ascending to the sky, and thinking about hijacking a few people to escape from the city is too difficult and dangerous, and it is too easy to be ambushed.
"There are thousands of thieves in the city, and tens of thousands of displaced people outside the city, they still have thousands of ways to ambush us, and I think it's better to wait...... Jiang Fa proposed, waiting for Huang Degong to respond.
"It seems that it is we who are going to delay the time and standby now," Chang Yu and the others discussed in a low voice at the door of the hall, glancing at Yang Tianba and the others, but they were also whispering together.
"Governor, there is a suggestion in the trail" Li Muxian came over, although he had just joined the gang, he was half loud when he observed his words, and he already roughly knew the arrangement of the officers and soldiers at this time.
Chang Yu nodded and signaled to him, Li Muxian coughed lightly and said, "Since there is an answer outside, it is better to come directly to the city!" ”
Everyone is a smart person, and they understood it in a second when they were stunned, and then their faces were happy, this bull's nose was really tricky and ruthless enough.
"Look at the looks of the brothers, when an agreement has been reached," Yang Tianba glanced at a few people, and his heart was relieved.
"It's done," Wu Zhong smiled and walked to the table: "The food is a little cold, go and heat it up, and then send some wine, let's not fight and make friends today, so let's have a good drink today!" ”
"Refreshing! If you brothers don't have the ability to join us......" Yang Tianba thought that these people were going to take refuge, and he was overjoyed, but before the words fell, he was sprayed with wine by the old way: "Don't fucking set up, we are used to being free and can't stand the ties, and we don't have your ambition to chase the Central Plains, the Tao is not the same, I will wait for the silver to leave!" ”
Yang Tianba was sprayed with an embarrassed face, and his killing intent suddenly rose, but he finally held back and forced his face: "It's okay, everyone has their own ambitions."
"But a thousand taels of silver is sent to ask for rice and flowers, how do we divide the ...... of the seven of us" Wu Zhong began to stir up trouble again, Yang Tianba and Zhang Chen were already bargaining, the two sides came and went, foaming and even turning their faces several times, and finally talked about three thousand taels of silver and sent them outside the city, promising not to be held accountable, and Yang Tianba was sent to twenty miles away as a hostage.
At this time, it was already dark, and the time was almost 9 o'clock in the evening.
How could there be no movement outside, Chang Yu was a little anxious and gave Wu Zhong a look, and the goods shouted that he was hungry again, so Yang Tianba prepared another banquet and drank a hearty drink.
Yang Tianba scolded in his heart how could this product be so able to eat and drink, starving to death, but it was not easy to say anything, while instructing the cook to serve the food, he asked his subordinates to prepare silver, of course, there were other preparations in secret.
Both sides are calculating and deliberately delaying time, they have nothing to say to find something to probe each other and guard against each other, and they really drink when they have nothing to say, Yang Tianba and others have spent an afternoon drinking where can they resist the persuasion of Wu Zhong's big wine jar, let you drink it, you can drink it, if you don't drink, you will look down on me.
Wu Zhong boasted that he did not pour a thousand cups, but this old way on one side is not leaky, and the stomach of half a jar of wine is still light and light, giving people a feeling of unfathomable, not as red as Qiao Sanxiu, but like a cow drink.
Jiang Fa was not drunk, and seeing that the thieves were almost drunk, he whispered to Chang Yu: "The time has passed."
Chang Yu hummed, and was about to speak, when he suddenly heard someone outside banging on the door loudly and shouting.
A group of unknown bandits were blind and wanted to sneak into the government to kidnap the leader of the rebel army, and the news quickly spread throughout the city, some people were shocked, some people were absolutely funny, some people secretly scolded the dog to eat the dog, of course, the most nervous was the subordinates of the thief leaders, and ordered the whole city to be on guard, and then hundreds of people poured into the government to think about how to rescue.
But at this time, Yang Tianba came forward to drink and ordered them not to act rashly, but a few friends from the rivers and lakes came to visit the mountain, no fuss and nothing to disturb.
At this time, the outside was so flustered, it can be seen that there is a big event, but Yang Tianba and the others are already top-heavy, except for him and Zhang Chen, who are still sober, the rest of them are already drunk.
"What's the noise?" Chen Sole, who was on guard in the hospital, scolded.
"Report, general, there are about tens of thousands of officers and soldiers ten miles outside the city" shouted outside, Chang Yu in the hall quietly exhaled when he heard the words, but Yang Tianba was like falling into an ice cellar and instantly sobered up a lot and looked at Zhang Chenben, who was panicked: "This, this ......"
How could the thief army dare to cross the border, and they were not afraid of tens of thousands of homeless people outside the city? Yang Tianba patted his head vigorously, staggering back and forth, while Zhang Chenben next to him bowed his head with a dark face and was silent.
"You're so dazzled, can you sit down and drink honestly," Wu Zhong yelled impatiently.
"Shut up!"
Yang Tianba glared angrily and roared: "The silver has been prepared for you, either take the silver and get out of the house now, or stay honest in the city, at this time the enemy army is coming, Lao Tzu has no time to play with you anymore."
Damn, a wine jar in Wuzhong smashed over, Yang Tianba couldn't dodge and was directly smashed to the ground, screaming and scolding, and was about to shout for the thieves outside the door to come in.
At this time, Zhang Chenben rushed up to block Wu Zhong, who was about to use the knife: "Enough!" We have already agreed before, let's leave as soon as possible, if we are pressing, the big deal will really be the same end."
Chang Yu also got up at this time to drink Wu Zhong, and said to Zhang Chenben: "The officers and soldiers are coming, but you want us to serve, after all, I took your silver!" ”
"No!" Yang Tianba got up and glared angrily, he just wanted this group of people to leave early, if the officers and soldiers came to attack, there were not many of them, and there were not many of them, and there were a lot of people who were missing, in case they were entangled and had no reason to cause trouble for themselves.
"In that case, send me out of the city!" Chang Yu smiled coldly, raised his hand and pointed at Yang Tianba: "Let's go, I'll wait for a promise, and I'll let you come back twenty miles away, and I will never break my word."
"Wait"! Yang Tianba looked frightened: "At this time, the officers and soldiers are coming to the city, how can I be a city lord and leave......"
"Damn, backtracking!" Wu Zhong swept over another wine jar, and saw that he was about to hit Yang Tianba, but was caught by Chang Yu's probe, and then waved his hand and smashed it with a punch: "The people of the rivers and lakes are all right, what is your reason, believe it or not, Lao Tzu immediately slaughtered a few of you, and the silver is not needed, and you can endure me and go out of the city while the chaos is gone, and you will die together?" You are also worthy! ”
"It's easy to kill us, but there are hundreds of people outside this courtyard, do you have the ability to kill them?" Yang Tianba roared, he was really forced to be anxious.
"Then you can try!" Chang Yu sneered, and with one look, Wu Zhong's long knife waved.
"Wait! Talk again, talk again! Zhang Chenben hurriedly stopped, grabbed Yang Tianba and walked to the side and whispered.
Coming so slowly, seeing the two thieves hiding in the corner muttering, Chang Yu walked into the courtyard and looked up at the night sky, starry, and said in his heart that it was not dark when Chen Wangting left, at most four or five o'clock in the evening, the two places were only forty miles apart, and Huang Degong's vanguard were all cavalry, and they came and went for an hour at most.
He didn't expect Chen Wangting to take a few guards and Nangong Yu to go out of the city smoothly, but because of his hurry, the thief army spies lurking in the refugees noticed and checked forward.
Several people took advantage of the chaos to escape, but they were targeted by the thieves and spies, because his appearance was too cool and unforgettable, and he couldn't get rid of the thieves for a while, so he had to run along the river, and the thieves rode horses to chase after him, and it was another fight.
If it is only a few thieves and spies are not afraid, but the displaced people gathered on the bank of the river are bewitched by it and have a posture of rushing up, Chen Wangting and others have to stay away from the river and flee farther and farther away, and finally when they are besieged and about to be captured and killed, fortunately, Fan Jiaqian led the palace battalion to kill, but it was a pro-soldier who pretended to be dead and hurriedly went back to report when he saw the thief army chasing Chen Wangting.
When Fan Jiaqian learned that Chang Yu was going to assassinate the thief leader in the city, he ordered the horse to report Huang Degong, and Li Tiezhu and Huling discussed whether to rush over to meet Chang Yu after the round.
However, if the tens of thousands of homeless people outside Zhaozhou City are used by thieves, although his hundreds of cavalry are heavily armored, they are like fallen leaves into the ocean, and the situation in the city is unknown, so he is afraid that he will not be able to save people, but he will not be able to hold back for a while, so he can only wait for Huang Degong to talk.
