Chapter 3:153 Blackmail
"General Ben knows that it will not be easy for you," Wei Yan drank the wine in the bowl dry, and said to the rich people who complained with a smile
"Thank you general, be considerate, villain, wait for this, the villain is willing to raise fifty stone of grain for the general's needs," I am afraid that there are not as many as twenty or thirty people in the rich households present, and they are all figures with heads and faces in Chang'an City, fifty stone of military rations are only spread out a little more than one stone per household, and Wei Yan smiled coldly when he heard the rich families say this
"In this way, General Ben would like to thank you for your generosity, rest assured that what you have given you today will be repaid by Japan in double," After laughing, Wei Yan said to these rich households: Eight thousand troops need about ten stones of grain and grass per day, and fifty stones of grain and grass are naturally a lot of money when placed in poor people's homes, but if they are placed here in Wei Yan, it will be a bit of a taste of being called Huazi
"The villain dared to ask how the general was going to resist the counterattack of the King of Wei after occupying Chang'an this time," a rich man saw that the atmosphere was quite harmonious, and asked Wei Yandao
"The general is also worried about this, the promise he made to the soldiers before has not been fulfilled, if Cao Cao attacks in the starry night, I am afraid that the generals will have orders and prohibitions, hey, let's talk about it then," Wei Yan complained with a bitter face when he heard this
"Oh, I don't know what promises the general made to the soldiers," a rich man saw Wei Yan like this, and immediately became interested, took a sip of the wine bowl, stretched his neck, and inquired there
"It's nothing, it's just that when I came, a certain family promised the little ones to take Chang'an for a three-day holiday, and now General Ben is a little unbearable when he sees you so generous, hey, General Ben is too soft-hearted," Wei Yan hiccuped and said to the rich people on the seat
"Three days off", there are those who don't know what's still there, and there are those who don't think so, and those who know how much they know are pale, looking at Wei Yan like a sieve of chaff, this is a more civilized way of saying, to put it bluntly, it is to let the soldiers loot in the city for three days, and if it is more serious, it is to slaughter the city for three days
"General, don't do this," heard Wei Yan say, and at that time, a rich man begged
"How can General Ben be that kind of cold-blooded person, just helpless, the soldiers see that they can't even eat, what else do you want General Ben to restrain them at present, dissuade them, and people will not be established as generals without faith, this time this time the general will break his promise once, next time they can still listen to the general's military orders" Wei Yan's face was full of helplessness, and he reached out to pour a bowl of wine for himself
"Hey, don't say it, don't talk about it, come and drink," Wei Yan swept the faces of the rich people out of the corner of his eyes, smiled secretly, and picked up the wine bowl
"General, this matter of giving the soldiers a holiday cannot be stopped," the rich man could no longer bear it, and fell to his knees and begged
"General, general, how about this, as long as the general restrains those military masters and tells them not to mess around, well, at least don't mess around in our residence, I am willing to gather five thousand stones of military rations, plus one hundred thousand taels of silver, to fund the army, how about it" In the chaos, the rich man pushed aside everyone and walked in front of Wei Yan and said loudly
"Well, if the general nods, I will send the above materials to the general's camp in three days at the latest," the rich families calculated at the bottom, and the family only needed to produce more than 100 pieces of grain, 3,000 taels of stone and silver, and they could keep safe, although it was also painful, but it was much better than being beheaded by those soldiers, and someone immediately stood up and echoed
"This guy really makes Ben General embarrassed, so Ben Jiang will go and discuss with his brothers," Seeing that his trick had succeeded, Wei Yan picked it up, stood up and rubbed his hands, and said to the rich people with a look of embarrassment
"Okay, good general, go quickly, come back, I'll wait here for the general's good news," the rich men stood up eagerly and bowed
"The general really has a clever plan, hehehe," there was already a henchman who was eavesdropping outside the tent, and the little colonel was there to compliment Wei Yanlai
"Accompany Lao Tzu to pee and let them wait," Wei Yan patted the shoulder of the henchman and pointed to the dark place of the camp
After soaking in urine, Wei Yan took another step and walked back and forth in the camp, commanding a few pro-soldiers for a while, and then opened the curtain and entered the big tent
"How is the general" The rich people, who had been waiting anxiously for a long time, saw Wei Yan enter the account and hurriedly got up and heard the news
"Hey," Wei Yan looked at the rich and lowered his head and sighed
"A little silver taels and some brown rice want to be sent away, there are no brothers in the door, and we will stay until dawn, and we will go and raid the houses of those rich and unkind dogs, drink wine, eat meat, and sleep with girls," there was a commotion outside the tent at the right time
"For drinking wine and eating meat, sleeping girls," the rich men heard the soldiers shouting like this, and their faces became more and more pale, and some of them were even more nervous in their hearts, "The concubine who is just begging may not be cheap tomorrow, these soldiers are ruffians," they thought in their hearts
"That general is bothered, you will talk to the military masters again, and I am willing to accept this matter of wine and meat, as for the girls, there are many green buildings in the prosperous land of Chang'an, and the military masters really have that need, and I am willing to fund them to go to have a good time," a rich man gritted his teeth and said loudly to Wei Yan
"Yes, yes, the general is still bothered, and the general will go and talk to the military masters again," Hearing what the rich man said, the rest of the people were not only not annoyed, but relieved in their hearts
"That's a good idea, don't you just want to drink wine, eat meat, sleep with your, Lao Tzu, just give it all to you, and see what reason you have to copy Lao Tzu's house," the rich man thought to himself
"This one is going to talk to the brothers again," Wei Yan was happy in his heart, but he looked reluctant on his face
"There is General Lao, there is General Lao," all the rich families bent down and bowed their hands there, please
"Hey, who let Ben Jianghe join you, and you will fight hard, and those little rabbit cubs are full of old fists, and Lao Tzu will also run this trip for you," Wei Yan gritted his teeth and hugged the rich with a fist very righteously
After another moment, Wei Yan lifted the tent with a happy face, and laughed at the rich people who were looking forward to it: "Everyone, you have settled this matter, and those rabbit cubs have stopped mentioning the holiday according to your conditions, hahahaha."
"General Hu Youlao mediates for us, be careful, and ask the general to take it to buy a hairpin for his wife to wear," everyone heard this, their faces were happy, and they all breathed a sigh of relief, and some of them hurriedly took out silver tickets of varying amounts from their arms and stuffed them into Wei Yan's arms, hugged their fists and thanked them
After the rich families got their wish and left, Wei Yan shouted: "The little ones are all rolled in for Lao Tzu to drink wine and eat meat."
With a roar, some of the generals who had been waiting outside the tent for a long time came in droves, and they didn't politely pick up the meat in the tray in front of them, and they tore and chewed it there
