Chapter 216: Nothing to do

Beidaying is a military restricted area, and ordinary people are not allowed to approach. Bo Yao and Fan Li led more than ten horsemen to break through the peripheral checkpoints and came to the camp gate.

However, they were stopped anyway. The soldier said, "Two adults, do you have an agreement with the prime minister?" ”

"There is no agreement. But if you don't have an agreement, can't you meet Xiangguo? ”

The sergeant guarding the gate was old and sophisticated, bowed and said, "Dazai-sama, the little ones are ordered to guard the gate of the barracks here, and if you don't get permission, let the two adults into the camp, the villains will be spanked, and they will have to lose their heads." But if the villain blocks the adult from entering the camp, the adult can also kill the small one with a sword. ”

"Hey, you're very good at talking." You mean, don't let us in, do you? ”

The sergeant said, "The little one doesn't dare, the little one begs the adults to dismount and wait for a while, let's go in and inform the Xiangguo-sama, and then respectfully invite the adults to come in, okay?" ”

"All right," said Bo Ya, "we'll wait." Fortunately, he was still an official in the same dynasty as Xiangguo, and it was more difficult to see him than to see the king. ”

The soldier didn't dare to say anything more. Hurriedly turned around and ran towards the big tent of the Chinese army.

After a while, Wu Zixu strode out of it, hugged his fists slightly, and said, "The two adults suddenly came to the barracks, what do you have to say?" ”

Bo Yao said: "Lord Xiangguo, you plan to say a few words at the gate of this camp, and send us away, right?" ”

Fan Li said: "Lord Xiangguo, just compare the military camp to your territory, and you can't treat us like this." We are all on errands for kings, and we are all in the king's land. Coordination and cooperation with each other can get things done, right? ”

Wu Zixu said: "The two adults should talk about things quickly, Wu has no time to talk nonsense." ”

Bo Ya pointed at Wu Zixu with a horsewhip and said, "Lord Xiangguo, you are really rude!" When you come to me one day to do something, I want you to taste what it's like to be harassed, I have a lot of small shoes here. Let me tell you Wu Zixu, if we are not allowed to sit in the big tent and drink tea today, we will never say anything. ”

Wu Zixu shook his head and said, "What are you doing here?" Are you here to run errands or to drink tea? Well, please come in. ”

Wu Zixu led the way in front of his head, and Bo Yao Fan Li followed, and then entered the big tent of the Chinese army, and a sergeant offered tea. Bo Yao slowly and methodically took the tea and took a sip. Taste it slowly for a while before swallowing it.

Wu Zixu couldn't wait: "Dazai, please talk about it." ”

Bo Yao said: "Lord Xiangguo, Bo Yao was ordered by the king to command the construction of Gusutai, but things did not go well, and there was a villain in the shadows who made a bad move and killed Dr. Lu Hai. The project has been stopped, but the king does not agree, must be Bo Yao and Fan Li to force the start of work, we do not understand the technical things, dare not start work, but the king sent a message, Gusutai is the first major event in Wu at present, and all the yamen in the court and the central government must fully assist. Moreover, we are appointed envoys plenipotentiary, speaking and acting on behalf of the king, and those who disobey the order will be beheaded! ”

This is Bo Ya's cleverness, he didn't say anything serious, and put the shelf up first. Add the pressure. Fan Li laughed secretly and looked at Bo Yao and Wu Zixu fighting.

Wu Zixu said, "Dazai-sama, what are you going to say?" ”

Bo Yao said: "The cost of building Gusutai is very large, especially grain, which consumes tens of thousands of catties of grain a day. Now that the food is running out, aren't we looking for Xiangguo to find a way? ”

Wu Zixu looked at Bo Yao inexplicably, and said for a long time: "Lord Dazai, you are in charge of this matter, why are you talking to Wu Mou?" Asking people to go to the countryside to urge food? Okay, I'll transfer it to you right away. ”

Bo Yao smiled: "Xiangguo said this, how can I ask you to do this?" ”

Wu Zixu said: "Then what can Wu help you do?" ”

Bo Yao coughed dryly: "Here's the thing. We only have enough grain on the site for about 10 days, and now there are still two months left until the wheat harvest, and we still have a shortage of 100,000 quintals of grain. Now there is no grain in the official warehouses in various places, and the grain of the common people cannot be squeezed out. The common people have food in their hands, and they can squeeze it out if they increase their efforts, but the problem is that the people don't have food in their hands, and you can't squeeze it out no matter how you squeeze it. ”

Wu Zixu looked at Bo Yao vigilantly: "Dazai-sama, why did you come to the barracks and tell me this?" Do I have food here? ”

Dazai said, "Yes! You have a lot of food here, otherwise what would we be doing all the way here? Do you really think we want to see your face? ”

Wu Zixu: "It's really strange. You have requisitioned grain from me, and where have I come with it? ”

Bo Yao said: "Yes, you have a lot of food in Huguan. ”

Wu Zixu was stung by a scorpion, jumped up, pointed at Bo Yao and said, "I understand, you spared such a big circle, the original idea of fighting Huguan." Tell you, you're dead of this heart, that's military rations, you know? ”

Bo Yao smiled: "Lord Xiangguo, didn't we come to discuss with you?" ”

Wu Zixu waved his hand, as if to drive away a swarm of pesky flies: "Forget it, this matter is not negotiable." ”

Bo Yao said: "Xiangguo, don't talk about things to death, we work together, the mountains don't turn around, no one can say that they don't need each other, this time you helped us, next time I Bo Ya may be able to help you." ”

Wu Zixu said: "My lord, I said that it was military food, and it was to feed the army. Do you know what military rations are? ”

Bo Yao said: "Xiangguo, those grains can't be eaten in one bite. We don't want much, just 100,000 quintals, and after this pass, we can just levy and make up for it. ”

Wu Zixu said: "This is simply impossible. Not to mention 100,000 loads, not even a load will be given to you. Let's find a way elsewhere before it's too late. ”

Fan Li said with a smile: "Xiangguo, things are dead, people are alive." We are all working for the king. Why can't we be accommodating? ”

Wu Zixu pointed at Fan Li and said, "Fan Li, there's no need for you to speak here, you shut up for me." I know your mind. ”

Fan Li stood up: "Wu Zixu." You haven't taken me Fan Li in your eyes, you are higher than Fan Li in that aspect? Knowledge? Character! Ability? I'll do your little easily. You can't even do it with me, the deputy commander-in-chief. You can't do it just by harvesting the Divine Tree. I, Fan Li, do things for the king, and I can put it in the sun to dry. Do you dare, those bad things you have done, dare to say it in front of the public? ”

Wu Zixu sneered: "Yo, have you grown your skills?" I will say to you, 'You two, don't try to take a grain from me. ”

Fan Li said: "Wu Zixu, I also make it clear to you that I, Fan Li, will take away 100,000 quintals of grain from here, and I can't do it without a single grain." ”。

Wu Zixu's old face turned from red to purple, and he pulled out his sword with a "bang": "Don't think that if you bewitch the king, you can do whatever you want, believe it or not, I'll kill you now." ”

Fan Li also pulled out his sword with a "snap", pointed at Wu Zixu and said, "If you want to fight, I'll teach you five steps to cross the corpse." Come on! ”
