Chapter 77, Breaking the City (I)
Although "Zuixian Building" is a restaurant, it actually doubles with some other transactions. For example, buy some fuelwood, coal, etc. In recent years, there has been famine everywhere, and the business of "Drunken Immortal Building" has naturally been affected a little. Even at the height of the famine, when the streets were full of downfalls (people who walked down the road and suddenly fell down and died), the wealthy families were never short of a few small sums to eat in restaurants. But if you are rich, you have a cook or something at home, and you rarely come to the hotel. But firewood and coal are indispensable for those who can still live.
Before the catastrophe came, the Xuanfa Daoists had already saved a batch of firewood and coal, but these things had to be bought from outside no matter who they were. Especially when Huang Zide's army arrived at Luoyang City, the gates of Luoyang City were closed, and the firewood and coal in the city could not be obtained from outside the city. These things that have been stored in advance have become sought-after goods. So taking the opportunity of delivery, Wu Kuangming, as well as Hu Yidao and others, who later followed the Xuanfa Dao people into the city to "avoid chaos", had the opportunity to deal with some wealthy people in the city, as well as soldiers in the official army. Therefore, the farce played by those officials in Luoyang City naturally reached the ears of the Xuanfa Daoists in the first time.
"At that time, when Senior Brother Xuanyi asked me to facilitate the Fuwang Mansion to provide money to the government as much as possible, I still wondered why Senior Brother Xuanyi did this. Now that I think about it, Senior Brother Xuanyi's grasp of people's hearts is really ......" Xuanfa Daoist wanted to find a word to describe it, but after thinking about it for a long time, he still couldn't find a suitable word. When he couldn't enter the inner door, he was actually a little unconvinced. But now after dealing with Xuan Yi, Yan Yu and even Yin Chonghua for a period of time, his disbelief has gradually disappeared. Although in terms of cultivation, the latter two are not as good as him, but when it is the turn of cultivation comprehension, Yan Yu and Yin Chonghua are obviously much higher than him, and the grasp of people's hearts in Xuanyi's plan this time makes him feel impressed and even frightened.
"Dao Chief, this kind of situation can be used by us." Hu Yidao said, "Most of the defenders in the city have difficult food and clothing. Now the bounty has become a joke again. We could have stirred them up and opened the gates of the city and let our brothers in. ”
Xuanfa thought for a while and said: "The current situation can be said to be full of dry firewood, and there is only one Martian seed missing. Brother Hu's idea is also good Lao Dao, and the group of soldiers guarding the east gate in the past few days have been buying firewood here in Lao Dao. Brother Hu and they all recognized it. Brother Hu can tell them that the price of firewood in the city is rising very fast now. They are guarding the city gates, so why not take this opportunity to arrange for people to go out of the city to cut wood and come back to sell it? It can also subsidize some households. Then they could take this opportunity to instigate them to open the city gates and let Marshal Huang's men in. ”
Hu Yidao listened, nodded and said, "This method is feasible." In a moment, I will bring firewood to the officers and soldiers guarding the gate. He took advantage of this opportunity to provoke them. ”
……
In a small room by the city gate, Li Fugui, the chief banner, and a few other people were looking at a pile of firewood and complaining: "Old. Hu, you are really not authentic, you see that the firewood you gave is all broken branches and rotten leaves, and the smoke is big and the fire is small. I burned a lot, but I still can't cook a meal. You're going too far, aren't you? ”
Hu Yidao said with a smile: "Mr. Li, you don't know, now Luoyang City is closed for twelve hours a day, and no firewood or anything outside can come in." How much has the price of this firewood risen now? That's why Mr. Li, you are our old customer, so we didn't raise your price, right? It's just that now there are fewer and fewer firewoods, and it would be nice to have such a firewood, but if it were a few days later, there would be no more like this. ”
Li Fugui also knew that Hu Yidao was telling the truth, so he sighed and said: "Dog's day, this doesn't make people live!" If you like this again, Lao Tzu will open the city gate and let Huang Zide in! ”
Hu Yidao smiled and said: "Mr. Li, don't say angry words." If it reaches the top, it will cause trouble. ”
As soon as he heard this, Li Fugui became more and more angry: "I'm afraid of a ball!" Dogs divided all the money of Lao Tzu, and they still want Lao Tzu to give them their lives? Lao Tzu was born cheap, isn't it? Fuck in front of Wang Shaoyu, Lao Tzu dares to say it. He dared to make trouble with Lao Tzu, so Lao Tzu opened the door, hehe...... Huang Zide only kills corrupt officials, not the army and the people, and if he really opens the door, Lao Tzu can still really share some silver! ”
Hu Yidao heard this, and said: "If you want to talk about making money, it's actually not impossible." Now you look at the gates, and the firewood in the city is so expensive. And when evening came, you put down one or two of our brethren with ropes from the wall. So we went out of the city to get some firewood, and when it was almost dawn. And if you hang us up with ropes, will not the wood be silver? I'm just worried that if your superiors find out......"
When Li Fugui heard this, he said: "This method is good! Shangguan? No money, there's a fart Shangguan! He dares to do a lot of things, Lao Tzu goes in with him with white knives, and red knives come out! Brother, you are a cheerful person, we have an agreement, the moon is good tonight, your people will come, and Lao Tzu will arrange for you to go out of the city. The money I get, Lao Tzu and you will add five. What do you think! ”
"A gentleman is ......," Hu Yidao said.
"Whip the horse!" Li Fugui said.
That night, Hu Yidao and a few scouts dressed as men went to the east gate and went up to the city wall under Li Fugui's arrangement. Hu Yidao agreed with him on the code when he returned, and several people tied a rope around their waists, roped out of the city wall, and soon disappeared into the night.
When the sky began to appear white, several people returned to the city gate. He learned a few crows from the top of the city, and then threw the rope from it. Then the men went up the city along the rope.
Li Fugui was also waiting above, and when he saw that a few people came up empty-handed, only Hu Yidao was carrying a package on his back, so he hurriedly asked, "Why did you come back empty-handed?" ”
Hu Yidao said: "Mr. Li, don't mention it!" As soon as we went there, we were found by Huang Zide's people as soon as we reached the edge of the forest. Then we were taken in for questioning. You also know that we are timid, of course, we will say whatever people ask. When he had finished speaking, the man who asked us said, 'You are all going to starve to death, and it is not worth it to die for others.' I, Huang Zide, also worked in the army back then, and I know that everyone worked hard. Chop wood to get more money? How much money is in King Fu's Mansion? It's not worth it for you to guard a big coffer, and to be poor like this. It turned out that the one who asked us was Marshal Huang. Then he let us go and asked me to bring this to the bosses. ”
While speaking, Hu Yidao untied the package he was carrying, and opened it in front of Li Fugui, but it was more than a dozen gold bars.
"Marshal Huang asked me to bring you a word, as long as you open the city gate and surrender to the revolutionary army, he guarantees that you will never have to worry about food and clothing in the future. Marshal Huang also asked me to bring this gold to everyone, which was a welcome gift. If you agree, thank you very much. ”
"This is gold?" A soldier said.
"Looking at this, I'm afraid it must have fifty or sixty taels, right?" Another soldier said.
"! Something that has never been seen in the world! Li Fugui scolded, "This is gold, does gold know?" Gold is much heavier than silver. ”
While speaking, Li Fugui took the bag of gold and lifted it in his hand: "At least one hundred taels!" It is at least eight hundred taels of silver! People say, "How's this going?" ”
"Good boy, eight hundred taels of silver! I've never seen so much silver in my life. A soldier said.
"Brother Li, if you want me to say, let's do it with Huang Zide! Grandma's, at least Marshal Huang is giving money with real money, not like the ...... of the dog," another soldier said.
"Eight hundred taels, each of us has one point, there are more than ten taels! Fuck, even if we serve as soldiers for the court for the rest of our lives, can we have this number? If you want me to say, do it! ”
"For a lifetime? Just like the court, don't even think about it in the next life! Dead eggs! Brother Li, let's do it! ”
Li Fugui looked around at everyone, and everyone nodded.
Li Fugui said: "Since everyone means this. Then fuck it. It's not that we're sorry for the court, it's really that the court of the dog day doesn't treat us as human beings! Brother Hu, now that the sky is not yet dawning, please go and run again, just say that tomorrow night, let Marshal Huang lead the troops over, and the villain will definitely open the city gate to answer. ”
Hu Yidao answered, and then slipped down the rope that he hadn't had time to put away.
Li Fugui looked at everyone again and said, "Don't tell others about this matter today, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless." ”
Everyone replied, "This is nature." If we ignore our conscience and sell our own people, we should be thundered with five thunders, ten thousand arrows pierce our hearts, and we will die without a place to be buried. ”
For a while, Hu Yidao returned to the barracks of the revolutionary army and reported the situation to Huang Zide and others. When Huang Zide heard this, he was happy in his heart, and laughed and said, "In this way, Luoyang City is ours." If you take Luoyang, the world will definitely be shaken. And with the savings of the Fu Wangfu, the momentum and strength of our army can be greatly increased, and then we can really go to encircle Kaifeng again and play a 'encirclement point reinforcement'. If you want to say that this time, it is still the Taoist who planned well! This victory is over, and the Taoist chief should take the first credit! ”
"This is the reason why the marshal obeyed the mandate of heaven and obeyed the will of the people. Poor people don't dare to take credit. Xuan Yi hurriedly said, "The meaning of the poor way to enter the WTO, the marshal originally knew it. In the future, if there is really a day when the world is calm, I hope that the marshal will not be stingy with the title of 'national teacher'. ”
Huang Zide smiled and said: "This is natural, well, this time Dao Chief, your senior brother, the Xuanfa Dao Chief, has a lot of credit." Tell me, what should we give him? ”
Xuan Yi said: "The teachers of the poor road are willing to serve the marshal, but the brothers of the poor road are used for the battle formation, and their use is limited. It's hiding your identity, and it's better to help like this. Therefore, the relationship between our army and those brothers and sisters of the poor Taoist sect should not be clarified. When the world is settled in the future, at that time, a canonization of the marshal will be enough. ”
Huang Zide said: "What the Taoist chief said is certainly reasonable. But the senior brothers of the Taoist chief, running around for this handsome, have to spend money. We cannot give the express reward. But if there is a need for silver or something, the Taoist chief can only open his mouth. ”
Xuan Yi hurriedly said, "Thank you Marshal for that." ”
