Chapter 415: Military Division
Although there is not a word in his mouth, the Heavenly Kings unite to attack Sanguan, in fact, there is only one purpose - food, if it is not for Gong Fan's long-accumulated inventory, no one is willing to go back, especially unwilling to cooperate with the Hundred Eyes Heavenly King.
Du Heimao looked honest, but he was angry but looked the same as Du Gousan, pulled out a knife on the spot, and shouted: "I'll cut this kid into a few pieces first, and see who dares to destroy the grain?" Brother Gong's hard-earned food, you want to destroy it, how can you bear it......
"Sit down!" Xu Dashi shouted.
Du Heimao was most afraid of the Hundred Eyes Heavenly King, so he immediately put away his knife when he heard the sound, and sat down obediently, Mu Jian and Yan Xiaoguo also closed their mouths and slowly returned to their seats, but they did not hide the resentment on their faces.
"Destroying grain is a trick you came up with?" Xu Dashi asked.
"It's obvious that no one needs to think about it."
"Hey, what kind of character is Brother Gong and his subordinates, I am more familiar than you, if no one instigates them, they will die at the door of the granary, and they will not be able to think of the trick of destroying the grain."
"But once they thought about it, they didn't hesitate, now that the grain has been transported to the plank road, the mountain road is difficult, and it is difficult to turn around."
"Haha, well, it's worthy of being a man who once reigned as a king, a hero, but we don't need heroes now, so there are only two paths in front of you."
"A dead end, a living road?"
Xu Dashi smiled and nodded.
"Forget it." Xu Ji also smiled, "It's easy to kill me, but it's useless, to tell you the truth, I haven't known Brother Gong's subordinates for a long time, they don't particularly care about my life or death, but they will think that the Heavenly Kings will immediately attack the city and seize the food, and the consequences will be unimaginable." Please tell me about the way to live. ”
Xu Dashi slowly stood up, opened his arms, and said, "Although the Descending Army does not need heroes, it needs Heavenly Kings, and the way to live is to ask you to be one of the Eight Heavenly Kings." ”
Xu Ji shook his head, "I have promised Brother Gong's subordinates a long time ago that I will only temporarily hold the position of the big leader, and I will return it in the future, and I will never succeed to the Divine Heavenly King." ”
"Of course, the Divine Heavenly King has to choose from Brother Gong's subordinates, we have lost three Heavenly Kings in Hanzhou, and the name is vacant, so I will give you one."
Xu Ji was still thinking about it, and Du Heimao, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but interject: "He is an outsider, and he came up with such a trick as destroying grain......"
"Why are we looking for food and accumulating food?" Xu Dashi asked.
"Uh...... In order to survive the winter, feed a large group of soldiers under his command......" Du Heimao said uncertainly.
"Exactly, the purpose of accumulating grain is to feed people, and raising people is to accumulate food, and in the end, it is all for people. Mr. Xu is a character, he usually can't be invited, but now he is sent to the door, how can he not be treated as a guest? You don't have to persuade him, even if I give him the title of the Hundred Eyes Heavenly King, I am willing. ”
Du Heimao and the others were all shocked, they were afraid of the Hundred Eyes Heavenly King, they should be scared, they had never seen him so kind and reasonable, and in addition to surprise, there was also a trace of jealousy.
"Corporal Lixian, the Hundred Eyes Heavenly King, who is not a hero in the world?" Mu Jian praised, his tone was not very natural.
The other two Heavenly Kings also searched their stomachs to express their approval, Xu Dashi waved his hand, ordered the three Heavenly Kings to shut up, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xu has been silent, is he unable to make up his mind?" ”
Xu Ji arched his hand and said: "No, before I met the Hundred Eyes Heavenly King, even before I came to Qinzhou, I had already made up my mind: I don't want to be the king, I would rather be a strategist." ”
"This kid is so uninteresting, he clearly looks down on ......"
Xu Dashi casually gave Du Heimao a slap, not light or heavy, as if he was beating someone angrily, and as if he was affectionate, Du Heimao laughed dryly, pretending that this was intimacy, and when Xu Dashi took two steps, he quietly raised his hand and rubbed the place where he was beaten.
Xu Dashi came to Xu Ji, "You said the same thing in front of Shan Yu?" ”
"Otherwise, why would you be wanted?"
"Haha, I admire you, then you can stay and be my advisor. Set up a banquet to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Xu Junshi. ”
For the incarnation army, setting up a banquet is not a trivial matter, and the kings visit each other, and rarely hold wine banquets for hospitality.
It took a while to set up a banquet, and Xu Ji was sent to the guest tent to rest, and the eleven accompanying soldiers were there.
The tent was not big, and the twelve people sat opposite each other, and the soldiers stared at Xu Ji with great interest, all of them had heard about the decision of the Hundred Eyes Heavenly King, and thought that it was a great thing.
Xu Ji had no smile on his face, and hung his head silently.
Leader Zhang, who was sitting opposite, said cautiously: "Mr. Xu is a military advisor, can he persuade the Hundred Eyes Heavenly King to withdraw from the army?" ”
Xu Ji shook his head slowly, "Xu Dashi is a fierce rival, and he has more city government than I expected. ”
Hearing Xu Ji call the name of the Hundred Eyes Heavenly King, everyone in the tent was shocked, according to the rules of the new army, the Heavenly King is the Heavenly King, unless he insists on it like Gong Fan, no one else can call him by name or surname at any time.
"Isn't it a good thing that the Hundred Eyes Heavenly King appreciates Mr. Xu?" Zhang Tou said in an accentuated tone.
"This is his delaying tactic, not sincerely."
"Whatever, anyway, the food is in our hands, it seems that Mr. Xu's strategy is very effective, they don't dare to attack the city."
"Xu Dashi will not attack the city for the time being, but will let the defenders in the city voluntarily transport the grain back and then hand it over to him."
Everyone was stunned, someone laughed, and Zhang Tou also laughed: "Mr. Xu...... Thinking too much, right? I don't know what the Hundred Eyes Heavenly King thinks, but the defenders of the city, even the most ordinary pawn, will not agree to hand over the grain. ”
Xu Ji smiled slightly, "The little pawn disagrees, but the big boss may not." ”
Everyone was even more confused, and Xu Ji continued: "Xu Dashi was worried that the defenders in the city would really destroy the grain, so he left me as a military advisor to calm the hearts of the people. Next, he will send people into the city, using the position of the 'Divine Heavenly King' as a bait to win over a certain big boss and ask him to summon the grain cart. ”
"Mr. Xu, please rest assured, no one will be fooled, even if one person is moved, he can't let the whole army obey his fate."
Xu Ji smiled again, as if he was persuaded, and after a moment of silence, he spoke: "Maybe it's also a way to take refuge in the Hundred Eyes Heavenly King." ”
"Huh?" Leader Zhang was shocked, "Mr. Xu won't be tempted first, right?" ”
"I just have this idea, the Hundred Eyes Heavenly King said that the accumulation of grain is to support people, and the purpose of raising people is to accumulate more grain, which has some truth. Now the four directions are chaotic, the heroes stand side by side, the officers and soldiers of Hanzhou are strong, and the He Rong people in Qinzhou are the army of tigers and wolves, and the army of the world cannot advance or retreat. By next year at the latest, He Rongren will have to capture the entire Qinzhou, and where will the army go? If you surrender to the Herong people, you have to attack the city and plunder the land for them, and you will inevitably suffer heavy casualties in every battle; If you don't surrender, you have to confront the He Rong people, and a single army has no chance of winning, so you must unite and rely on the strength of the people in order to deal with the He Rong people, or get a way out. ”
Leader Zhang and the ten soldiers nodded one after another, "That's the reason, now that He Rongren has not spared his hands, we can still run rampant in the area of western Qin, and when He Rong's army arrives, which army is not an opponent." ”
When everyone had said almost, Xu Ji said: "If Xu Dashi uses this set of rhetoric to persuade the defenders in the city, will they let them hand over the grain?" ”
The crowd was immediately dumbfounded.
After being silent for a long time, Zhang Tou said: "Presumably, the brothers in the city will be convinced, because I haven't figured out what Mr. Xu said just now, shouldn't the Descending Army join forces?" ”
"Yes, but you must not join forces under the command of Xu Dashi, this person is ferocious and sinister, far beyond the heroes, the person he cares about is not the survival of the Incarnation Army, but his own power, he will never accept anyone's challenge. If Gong Jun handed over the grain, he would be the great savior of the new army of Zhulu and the thorn in the side of Xu Dashi. No matter how nice he said in advance, once the Gong army in the city handed over the grain, it would be slaughtered immediately, and the grain would then become a grain grab, and the soldiers here would thank the Baimu Heavenly King, not Brother Gong and you, who had worked hard to accumulate grain. ”
The people in the tent were all ordinary soldiers, and they felt that it made sense to hear what Xu Ji said, and suddenly became panicked again.
"What to do? Mr. Xu, think of a countermeasure, we will all listen to you. Leader Zhang said eagerly.
"Later, I will go to the banquet, please find an opportunity to return to Sanguan quickly, and convey my words to Fifth Master Qiu, and ask him to take precautions as soon as possible: the people that the Hundred Eyes Heavenly King wants to win over must be Brother Gong's two nephews."
Leader Zhang nodded again and again, "No problem, I know many people here, they don't guard me strictly, I'll come back after the conversation." ”
"Do you know a lot of people here?"
"That's right."
"Then you stay, and send the other two back to the city."
"Okay, what am I going to do with it?"
"Go talk to your acquaintances."
"What are you talking about?"
"Casual chat."
Leader Zhang was stunned for a moment, but he already trusted Xu Ji very much, "Okay." ”
Several other soldiers said: "We also have acquaintances, do you want to go chat?" ”
"Except for the messengers, they all went to chat."
Although they didn't understand Xu Ji's intentions, everyone was a little excited.
The banquet over there has been set up, and someone has come to invite them.
The pomp and circumstance of the banquet was not small, in addition to a few heavenly kings, there were also five venerables, ten gods and more than 20 big leaders were invited, although the wine and food were not exquisite, but they were extremely rich, and it was not like a lack of food at all.
Xu Dashi ceremoniously introduced the new "military advisor" to everyone, and praised Xu Ji as rare in the sky and unparalleled on earth, and he obviously heard a lot of deeds of King Wu from the old army and soldiers, and told it with oil and vinegar, which frightened the leaders of the people.
But everyone knew who the real master was in this tent, and the promotion of the "military advisor" ended quickly, and the banquet quickly turned into a fout to the Hundred Eyes Heavenly King, even when it came to Xu Ji, it was also to praise the Hundred Eyes Heavenly King for his insight.
After several rounds of wine, everyone was happy, and even Xu Ji had a full meal, sweeping away the half-hunger and half-fullness for many days.
Xu Dashi drank a lot of wine, his face was slightly red, but there was no drunkenness in his eyes, he turned his head to Xu Ji who was at the table and smiled: "The military division is famous all over the world, and he is known for his resourcefulness, can he come to me with a clever plan to dedicate?" ”
"Yes."
"If the military advisor wants to say a clever plan, everyone listens to it." Xu Dashi said in a loud voice, all the leaders stopped drinking and talking, and listened attentively, in fact, they paid more attention to the movements of the Hundred Eyes Heavenly King.
"Merge the new army of Zhulu and return to Hanzhou as soon as possible." Xu Jidao.
Someone laughed and hurriedly shut up, everyone was waiting for the Hundred Eyes Heavenly King to set an example first.
