Chapter 117: The Age of Exception
On the morning of the next day, Han Hao was ordered to personally come to the Xuzhou military camp to invite the pottery merchants to enter the city and enter the Taishou Mansion to discuss matters.
When the potter saw Han Hao, he was very curious, and said, "Wang Fujun is so anxious to find me to enter the city, isn't something big happening?" ”
Han Hao's face looked very strange, and his eyes were full of deep suspicion when he looked at the potter.
"Tao Gongzi, the four major families in Hanoi, ran to the Taishou Mansion early this morning, and asked the prince of the palace to send troops as soon as possible to eliminate the Baibo thieves."
The potter pretended to be surprised: "So anxious? Isn't their attitude of unconvincing resolute? Why did you change your tune so quickly? ”
Han Hao stared at the potter with deep eyes, as if he wanted to see something flaw in the potter's expression.
"Last night, the White Wave thieves came out of the valley again and looted and burned the fields, farms, horse farms, and livestock farms of the four major noble clans in Hanoi in the suburbs......
"Smack!" The potter slapped the table and said angrily, "This hateful white wave thief. ”
"The problem is ......" Han Hao looked at him calmly and vented his anger, and said faintly: "Master Tao, let's hide in the valley where we plundered the cattle, sheep and horses of the Wang clan last time, and when we go to see it this morning, somehow it seems to have doubled again......
“…………”
"Really?" The potter winked at Han Hao in confusion and said, "Is it so fast?" I can't see that the livestock in Hanoi County is still very hot, and the fecundity really can't be ignored. ”
Han Hao's face began to twitch again.
For this Tao Gongzi...... Han Hao really didn't have the strength to fight with him.
"Tao Gongzi, let's go into the city with you, General Bao will also enter the city and enter the mansion later, let's see what the head of the Siwang clan in Hanoi has to say."
The potter nodded and said, "Good." ”
…………………………
…………………………
When Han Hao came to the meeting hall of the Taishou Mansion in Hanoi, Bao Xin and the leaders of the four major clans in Hanoi had already arrived.
The leaders of the Wang clan frowned one by one, obviously after a storm last night, they were all worried and sick, and they didn't sleep well.
Several family owners snapped their fingers to settle the accounts, if they were robbed by the White Wave Thieves like this again, the loss would definitely be far more than the potter's asking price last time.
Although the heads of the family also hired some heroes and organized some private soldiers, one was that there was no formal training, the second was that the wang clan had no reason to smelt iron and armor, and the third was that there was no systematic military system, and under Wang Kuang's nose, they couldn't be too presumptuous after all...... For other things, Wang Kuang can tolerate the Wang family, but in terms of armed forces, Wang Kuang definitely has his own bottom line.
Therefore, in the face of looting, these private armed forces are not of much use for the time being...... Besides, the family has a lot of industries, and the manpower can't defend the east and the west, and it doesn't solve any problems at all.
"Tao Gongzi is here......"
Everyone turned their heads to look, and sure enough, it was the potter who had arrived with Han Hao.
The head of the Ping family stood up and saluted him, his face obviously a little embarrassed.
After all, the last time I "hummed" at the potter, it was the one who shook his sleeves, but they.
The potter didn't hold a grudge at all, and said with a smile: "Pinggong, the eye circles are a little dark, didn't you sleep well last night?" ”
It's not you who was robbed in the plain and dark way, of course you are sleeping soundly!
"Hehe, thank you son, I miss it, the old lady is old, and she can't sleep enough...... By the way, before Tao Gongzi came, the old man and the others had already discussed with Wang Fujun and General Bao, and we still need to discuss and discuss the matter of conquest of the White Wave Thieves......"
The potter said curiously: "Still want to discuss?" Didn't we already discuss it earlier? Several heads of the family disagreed with Tao's proposal...... Isn't this thing in the past? ”
Ping Zheng's expression was hesitant, and the light in his eyes was uncertain...... Finally, he gritted his teeth and said: "Tao Gongzi, what happened a few days ago was that I was not polite and too impulsive, and I never chatted with Gongzi well. ”
As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person, even if it is a person with a fierce face, the potter rarely slaps his face - Tao Gongzi's temper is so good.
Tao Shang smiled politely at Pingzheng: "Pinggong is too polite, Tao has been here for a while, and we have all met a few times, which is familiar, and Tao didn't take it to heart in three or two sentences." ”
Although Pingzheng disdained the pottery merchant's way of doing things, he still appreciated the pottery merchant's cultivation, and then said: "Tao Gongzi, the old man and others have thought about it again in the past few days, and feel that the bandit trouble of the Baibo Army is indeed too serious, and the matter of sending troops that we said last time should not be shelved because of the dispute of righteousness and anger, and it is the people of Li who are suffering so much, and it is the people of Li who are still in the land of my three rivers, and this matter still needs to be negotiated ......by a good student."
The Tao merchant nodded and said, "Ping Gong's words, for the country and the people, Tao deeply admired...... Again, if we want to send troops to suppress the thieves, in addition to providing grain, grass and winter clothing, money, horses, and the stolen goods obtained by the thieves are indispensable. ”
Hearing this, the anger came up again.
"Tao Gongzi, this condition is the same as the last time...... It hasn't changed at all! Pingzheng's voice was a little hoarse.
The potter was curious: "Pinggong, it's you who are looking for us to ask for troops again, the conditions have always been here, why should they change?" ”
Justice: "............"
Taking a deep breath, Ping Zheng suppressed the igniting fire, and nodded, "Okay...... What do you want...... I waited, I promised! ”
A bright smile suddenly appeared on the potter's face.
"Pinggong, if you had said that earlier, wouldn't this matter have been solved? Why bother to shirk to this day, the shy answer is not happy at all......"
Plain: "..............."
For the first time, a sixty-year-old man was described as a shy answer.
Zheng Yan of Jixian County said: "Dare to ask Tao Gongzi, since we have already agreed to your conditions, I don't know when the prince will send troops to suppress the thieves?" ”
The potter smiled and owed, and said, "Grain, grass, horses, winter clothes, money, and things will be sent out immediately!" ”
"Good!" Zheng Yan stood up and said to Tao Shang Zhengse: "Tao Gongzi's conditions, I will agree, but since I have agreed to Tao Gongzi's conditions, Tao Gongzi also has to agree to my conditions!" ”
The potter chuckled and said, "What does Gong Zheng want?" ”
Zheng Yan said word by word: "Please also ask Wang Fujun, General Bao and Tao Gongzi to agree on a time limit for begging for thieves!" Limited time Bike. ”
After saying this, Wang Kuang and Bao Xin showed embarrassed looks.
Baibo Valley is not easy to fight, how to agree on a time limit?
The potter didn't care, and said, "Then according to Zheng Gong's opinion, when is it better to make an appointment?" ”
Zheng Yan closed his eyes, lowered his head and counted the days, and said, "It's set at ...... Before the end of the year! ”
The so-called "New Year's Eve" is, to put it bluntly, "Chinese New Year's Eve".
When Bao Xin heard this, he pinched his fingers and frowned: "So fast!" ”
The potter smiled and said, "Okay, just come on this day!" ”
Zhongwang was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect this kid to agree so easily, and he didn't bargain at all.
Hasn't he ever fought?
"Tao Gongzi, what we limit with you is before the year, don't hear it wrong!" Zheng Yansheng was afraid that the potter would hear the sound, so he deliberately emphasized it again.
"Uh-huh!" The potter nodded and repeated: "Before the year is divided, it is clear to listen to it!" ”
