Chapter 149: The Catastrophe of Annihilation
Of course, Huaxing understands that the reason why Tang Sheng is so quibbling is also painstaking, and his purpose is to let himself accept this "big gift".
But Huaxing is a person who knows right from wrong, even if it is what he needs, he will not deceive himself with lies, let alone reverse black and white.
So it didn't take long for him to speak:
"Everyone is willing to leave with Hua, that is everyone's decision, and it is indeed inappropriate for me to say 'abduction'. But these supplies ...... It's another story! β
Huaxing pointed to the grain truck and said with a serious face:
"Although they were recaptured by our hard work, please don't forget that you and I were both members of the Lu Army at that time. As long as it is the result of the battle, it must belong to the army, it is a public property, and no one can appropriate it at will! According to you, are all the members who participated in this battle the right to run to the treasury and get a piece of the pie? If that's the case, then what's the difference between us and bandits? β
Seeing that Tang Sheng bowed his head and was silent, his face also showed a little shame, Hua Xing patted the other party's shoulder while continuing to speak:
"I know that you did this out of good intentions, and I am very grateful! But stealing is stealing, and the nature of the matter will never change because of your words, and you are only deceiving yourself when you say that! In addition, you just said that you did this and have nothing to do with me, so it's not true! β
"W-How is this wrong? You really didn't know when I took the supplies! Tang Sheng said with a puzzled expression.
"That's right! I didn't know it before, but from the moment you and I walked together, I, Huaxing, have already taken on this responsibility. β
"Why did the general say that? Next...... I don't quite understand. β
"Well, let's put it that way." Seeing that the other party still didn't understand what he meant, Huaxing changed his angle and asked:
"What do you think Gao Shun will do after he finds out that the materials have been stolen?"
"Well...... Tang Sheng replied while pondering, "He should be able to find out soon, I brought someone to steal it, right?" β
"That's right! You're so open-minded, it's only a matter of time before someone finds out, hehe. As he spoke, Hua Xing couldn't help laughing.
"Hehe, time was tight, I couldn't help it, right?" After grinning awkwardly, he heard Tang Sheng say again:
"Then he will send me a wanted notice or something, it shouldn't affect you, the general, right?"
"Then you are underestimating General Gao's intelligence network!" Hearing this, Huaxing shook his head on the spot:
"I'm sure in less than three days he'll find out that you and I are walking together. In addition, after Chen Gong goes back, he will definitely tell Gao Shun about today's events. So, after knowing that you and I are all the way, how do you think Gao Shun will feel about the theft of materials? β
"This, this ......"
This time, before Tang Sheng could speak, he saw Zhang Liao, who had been standing aside and listening for a long time, suddenly interjected:
"Do you need to ask? Gao Shun will definitely think that it was General Hua who instructed you to steal the materials! Hehe, this black pot master is determined! β
Although I don't understand why Zhang Liao called Huaxing a master, Tang Sheng, who was in a weak heart, would definitely not be stupid enough to ask on the spot.
After listening to Zhang Liao's words, Tang Sheng quickly figured out the truth, and his head involuntarily lowered:
"General Hua, the last general really didn't think about it so much before...... Alas! I also hope that the general will forgive his sins. β
Seeing that Tang Sheng was apologetic, Hua Xing was just about to say a few words of comfort, but he saw Zhang Liao on the side suddenly raise his big hand, slapped the carriage heavily, and said with a worried face:
"Oops! It's not going to be easy! In case Gao Shun leads troops to chase after us in a fit of anger, it will be troublesome! β
"Huh?" Tang Sheng opened his mouth and said with a look of surprise: "You mean...... Gao Shun will attack us because of the theft of supplies? β
Soon, I saw Hua Xing shaking his head and replied: "With my understanding of General Gao, he will not do this ......."
"Oh! That's good, that's good! Tang Sheng patted his chest and said, "Otherwise, I would really be in trouble this time!" β
But Tang Sheng was relieved just now, and he heard Huaxing say again:
"However, if Chen Gong is on the side, it may not be the same......
"That's right!"
After hearing this, Zhang Liao also nodded on the side and agreed:
"Master Chen originally wanted to catch the master and go back, plus he was deflated by our hands just now, and he will definitely feel uncomfortable when he goes back. If there is such an opportunity, he will not let it go easily. β
As soon as he heard that the audience might be pursued because of this matter, as the mastermind of this matter, Tang Sheng's face instantly turned a little pale, and sweat faintly appeared on his forehead:
"So, what should I do? If you can't do it, let me go back and turn myself in, right? OrγOr return the supplies to the other party? β
The reason why Tang Sheng took the materials privately was for everyone's consideration, and secondly, he also wanted to help Huaxing, so in this matter, Huaxing did not think that Tang Sheng should be punished.
If it really reaches the point of surrendering, Huaxing will definitely stand up and take responsibility for himself, and will never let his subordinates become scapegoats.
So Tang Sheng's first proposal was vetoed by Huaxing at the moment of export.
As for the return of materials, to be honest, in fact, Huaxing does not want to give away such precious resources.
Because he understands very well that although these materials seem to be a lot, they are actually nothing to Gao Shun, at most they are some icing on the cake, and they will not affect the entire Lu army because of their losses.
But if it is replaced by Huaxing and others, these materials can definitely be called a gift in the snow!
Without these supplies, they probably won't be able to last even a week.
Therefore, Huaxing wants to leave these materials in his heart.
It's just that he can't take it away recklessly like Tang Sheng, but urgently needs a better way to deal with this matter, otherwise it is likely to bring them ruin.
So, while Tang Sheng and Zhang Liao were discussing, Huaxing fell into contemplation again.
But seeing that five minutes passed, Huaxing still couldn't come up with a perfect solution.
On the side of Zhang Liao and Tang Sheng, although they discussed countless possibilities, they failed to come up with any way to prevent the other party from leading troops to attack, except for returning the supplies.
For a moment, the faces of the three of them showed a look of distress.
"Three adults, I wonder if you can listen to the little girl?"
Just when the three of them were silent, Diao Chan, who had been listening to it in the car for a long time, suddenly said something timidly.
Several big men were here to discuss military affairs, and a little woman dared to suddenly interject!
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Liao and Tang Sheng showed displeasure on their faces, and seemed to be quite dissatisfied with Diao Chan's move.
Seeing this scene, Hua Xing first glared at the two of them angrily, and then replied with a smile:
"Girl, but it doesn't matter! As long as it is a good idea, regardless of men, women and children, I Huaxing is very welcome! β
