Dai Wenjie, the staff member who Hua Lao Fox gave to Wu Chaoyue, is a practical person, even if he knows that it is not easy to recruit Shi Dakai for Wu Chaoyue, but Dai Wenjie still did his best to do this, when the Wu soldiers were still cleaning the Tuanshan battlefield, Dai Wenjie made a special trip to meet Shi Dakai, and had a long talk with Shi Dakai, who was about to be sent back to Jiujiang in a prison car.

Dai Wenjie is also very skillful in speaking, and he didn't rush to talk to Shi Dakai about business after meeting, but first greeted Shi Dakai, and instructed the Wu soldiers who were guarding Shi Dakai not to have any abuse and insults, and then told Shi Dakai a good news, saying that Shi Dakai's nephew Huang Guisheng was not killed in battle, but was seriously injured and captured by the Wu army soldiers, and is currently being rescued by Wu military doctors.

After all, it is sibling affection, and when he learned the news that his nephew was still alive, Shi Dakai also showed some relieved smiles and said: "Your life is big, and now I have an explanation for my sister." ”

"Wing King, Sister Ling is currently in Tianjing City? Or in Luzhou (Hefei)? Dai Wenjie asked knowingly.

"In Luzhou." Shi Dakai replied very frankly and said: "Except for a few relatives who led troops to fight, my family is in Luzhou. ”

"I remember." Dai Wenjie suddenly woke up and said: "I remember that when the Tianjing Incident occurred, the Wing King, in order to avoid the infighting of your army, you retreated from the battle, and avoided a bloody storm, and the East King felt your kindness, so he sent your whole family back to you, and now they should live in Luzhou." ”

Shi Dakai nodded, admitting that there was indeed such a thing, and Dai Wenjie took the opportunity to take the initiative to say: "Yiwang, I can call the shots on this matter, if you still have anything to say to your family, you can write a letter at any time, let our soldiers hand it over to me, and I will arrange for someone to send it to you." ”

Shi Dakai glanced at Dai Wenjie and vaguely understood what Dai Wenjie meant, but he didn't expose it, and said calmly: "Thank you Mr. Dai for your kindness, but there's no need, the eldest husband is shrouded in horse leather, and there is no need for so many children." ”

"Enough guys."

Dai Wenjie secretly praised it, and then didn't insist, just patted the prisoner car that had been parked next to Shi Dakai, and said with a smile: "Yiwang, I'm going to take this to Jiujiang City in a while, do you have any ideas?" ”

"No idea." Shi Dakai shook his head directly.

"I'm afraid not, right?"

Dai Wenjie smiled and said unhurriedly: "I want to be the king of wings, you are thirteen years old, and you are called Shi Xianggong by your neighbors at a young age, and you are famous; At the age of nineteen, he worshiped the general and commanded thousands of troops; At the age of twenty, he was crowned king, fought in the south and the north, was invincible, fought in the east and west, and was powerful in the world, not only one of the pillars of heaven, but also one of the few heroes in the world! is so brilliant that in the end, you ended up being humiliated in public in a prisoner car, Wing King, you don't have any ideas in your heart? ”

Shi Dakai closed his eyes, unwilling to recall his previous glorious past, but said calmly: "Mr. Dai's words are good, and in the end he ended up like this, it would be a lie to say that I don't have any ideas in my heart, but the winner, the prince, the loser, the thief, the matter has come to this, and Shi can only accept his fate." ”

"Why should the Winged King be so pessimistic?" Seeing this, Dai Wenjie said with a smile: "If you don't want to suffer such humiliation, Wing King, are you really helpless?" Our Zhennan King has always praised you, the Wing King. ”

Shi Da laughed, smiled very easily and calmly, and said: "Mr. Dai, if this is an arrangement beyond the little demon, then please tell him that he really underestimates Shi." ”

"Although Shi doesn't read much, he also knows the truth that loyal ministers don't care about the two masters, and it is shameful to be thrown into a prison car and humiliated in public, but as long as he can be exchanged for Wu Chaoyue to fulfill his promise and pardon my subordinates from death, I am willing to do it. But if for the sake of my personal life and glory and wealth, I want Shi Dakai to surrender to him and Wu Chaoyue, then it will be a real shame for me! ”

"Why is the Winged King so stubborn? Of course, loyal ministers do not matter to the two masters, but good birds can choose trees and perch on ....... ”

Dai Wenjie tried his best to persuade him, but Shi Dakai interrupted him, and while standing up and walking into the prisoner car, he said calmly: "Mr. Dai, I understand your kindness, but I'm sorry, my husband stood up to the sky and asked me to bend his knees to him Wu Chaoyue and beg for mercy, it is absolutely impossible!" ”

Hearing Shi Dakai's words, and seeing Shi Dakai's calm expression in the prisoner car, Dai Wenjie shook his head, and finally completely died of Shi Dakai's thoughts, and told the guards not to abuse and insult him, and left, while Shi Dakai has been sitting in the prisoner car, and his expression has always been unwavering.

…………

When Dai Wenjie returned to Wu Chaoyue's side dejectedly, he didn't need to ask, just looking at Dai Wenjie's expression, Wu Chaoyue already knew the result, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Wenjie, how is it?" I'm not wrong, right? ”

"King Zhennan can really recognize people." Dai Wenjie flattered and said with a wry smile: "Sure enough, it is a stone in the pit, smelly and hard." ”

"Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, has a saying that is very right, who has no loyal ministers?" Wu Chaoyue smiled and said with some sighs: "Changmao can come out of a small mountain village in Guangxi, and to this day, there are not many loyal people in the team, can he do this?" Shi Dakai is not greedy for money and lustful, and he focuses on the overall situation of Changmao everywhere, saying that he will surrender to me because of greed for life and fear of death and glory and wealth, I don't believe it first. ”

After sighing, Wu Chaoyue shook his head and said: "Forget it, although killing Shi Dakai will only cheapen Hong Xiuquan for nothing, but we can't help him if he is so stubborn, let's fulfill him." Leaving him a whole corpse, and then sending his coffin to Luzhou to his family for burial, can be regarded as our benevolence and righteousness. ”

Dai Wenjie nodded silently, but his face was full of desire to speak, and he couldn't help but say: "King Zhennan, in fact, there is still ......." ”

Speaking of this, Dai Wenjie stopped by himself, shook his head, and said, "Forget it, it's better to be the king of Zhennan." ”

Wu Chaoyue was a little surprised that Dai Wenjie's desire to speak stopped, but before Wu Chaoyue could ask, Zhou Wenxian, another important staff member next to him, suddenly said: "King Zhennan, if you don't want Hong Xiuquan, the bandit fisherman, to benefit, in fact, we have another way." ”

"What's the solution?" Wu Chaoyue asked.

"We can deliberately declare to the outside world that Shi Dakai has surrendered to us." Zhou Wenxian's eyebrows fluttered and said: "Then while we openly rewarded Shi Dakai, we called on Changmao to surrender to us in the honor of Shi Dakai, and then let Shi Dakai lose his breath at the right time, and put the blame on the assassin sent by Hong Xiuquan ......." ”

"Alright, no need to say it." Wu Chaoyue interrupted Zhou Wenxian, then turned to Dai Wenjie and asked, "Mr. Wenjie, you wanted to talk about it just now, did you also want to say this idea?" ”

Devin nodded and said, "Approximately." ”

Wu Chaoyue nodded first, then sighed and said, "It is worthy of Mr. Wenjie, and he really has the style of a famous person." Zhou Wenxian, you have to learn more from Mr. Wenjie in this regard, our situation is different from before, some things that didn't matter before, now we have to weigh the consequences. ”

Zhou Wenxian nodded obediently, but he was very puzzled in his heart, and he didn't understand why Dai Wenjie was praised by Wu Chaoyue instead of offering advice, and he said what Dai Wenjie didn't say, but he was reprimanded by Wu Chaoyue?

Puzzled and more curious, Zhou Wenxian specially found the reason why Dai Wenjie, who had a good relationship with him, asked for advice in person, and Dai Wenjie, who was used by Wu Chaoyue as Zhao Yan's replacement, did not hesitate to give advice, and said directly: "Huazhu, in fact, your proposal is not wrong at all, if it is replaced before, King Zhennan will definitely do more than you, so that the black pot on Shi Dakai's back is even bigger." ”

"But now the situation is different, some of the means that the king of Zhennan could use in the past must not be used again. As a member of the staff of King Zhennan, if you can't keep pace with the times, not only will the strategy be impossible for King Zhennan to adopt, but it may even jeopardize your career future. ”

"Why?" The more Zhou Wenxian listened, the more confused he became, and he arched his hand and said, "Please also ask Mr. Wenjie to teach me, why is there such a huge difference between before and after?" ”

"It's simple." Dai Wenjie smiled and said: "In the past, the king of Zhennan did things for the emperor, and it can be said that he was loyal to the emperor and serve the court by any means. But now King Zhennan is doing everything for himself, and some things have been done, and what he smashed was King Zhennan's own signboard. ”

…………

In this way, although Wu Chaoyue and Wu Jun's current decision-making level are a little regretful, Shi Dakai was still packed in a prisoner car and escorted back to Jiujiang City in public, which immediately caused a huge sensation inside and outside Jiujiang City, even during the martial law period, there were still a large number of people pouring into the streets, vying to see the appearance of Shi Dakai, who had already been famous all over the world.

Once commanding the storm, and once directly governed Jiujiang, he suddenly became a cage prisoner and was witnessed and ridiculed by tens of thousands of people, such a humiliation is certainly not something ordinary people can bear. What's worse is that because it was the Taiping army that took the lead in tearing up the covenant, it once again brought war to the people of Jiujiang, and the people of Jiujiang, who suffered from the war, in addition to constantly shouting and shouting to kill, also threw stones and dirt at the prisoner car, and the humiliation suffered by Shi Dakai naturally multiplied.

However, even so, Shi Dakai still sat in the prisoner car, no matter how the soldiers and civilians on both sides of the road laughed and cursed, and no matter how stones, clods of soil and even dung fell on his body like hail and raindrops, Shi Dakai always maintained a calm expression and ignored all this.

Shi Dakai himself was safe, but after the news that he was captured alive by Wu Junsheng reached Hukou, the Taiping army in Hukou was in an uproar, either crying bitterly, or desperate and sluggish, or unable to believe it at all, and many Taiping soldiers were still yelling with red eyes, wanting to kill Poyang Lake again to save Shi Dakai.

Shi Dakai's two confidants, Zhang Suimou and Zeng Jinqian, are typical representatives, after hearing the news, they first didn't believe it at all, and then cried loudly, and then desperately begged Lin Qirong, who is currently in charge of Hukou military affairs, to try to rescue Shi Dakai. As a result, Lin Qirong smiled bitterly when he heard this, spread his hands and said, "Zhang Yuanzai, Wei Tianhou, how can you let me save it?" Not to mention that the enemy is outnumbered, the enemy is strong and I am weak, even if I can take the remaining army of Hukou to fight hard with the little demon, you want my army to survive Poyang Lake? ”

"But we can't just watch the Wing King eight thousand years old being harmed by the Transcendence Little Demon, right?" Zeng Jinqian cried and begged: "Zhen Tiantian, you are most familiar with the situation in this area of Hukou, can you think of any other way to save the Wing King 8,000 years old?" We beg you! ”

"What can I do?" Lin Qirong was even more helpless, and said: "I also want to save the Wing King 8,000 years old, but I have to find a way!" Do you want me to rob the prison and rob the Dharma field? Or do you want me to take the gold, silver, and jewels to redeem the Winged King? Will the Transcendent Goblin agree? ”

"Then can we find a way to redeem the Winged King with something else?" Zeng Jinqian was also stunned, and said: "Otherwise, we will contact the Transcendence Little Demon, as long as the Transcendence Little Demon is willing to release people, we can exchange the city directly under the jurisdiction of the Wing King 8,000 years old, even if we exchange a few cities for the Wing King 8,000 years old alone." ”

"Wei Tianhou, if you want, you can contact the transcendent demon yourself, I have no objection." Lin Qirong said: "But I remind you of one thing, using our Heavenly Kingdom's land and city to exchange for the Wing King, for such a big matter, you had better ask for the consent of the Heavenly King Long Live first." Otherwise, even if the little demon is beyond the promise, the Heavenly King will not nod his head, and the Wing King will not be able to save him. ”

"I'm going to ask long live the King!" Zeng Jinqian didn't want to think about it, so he said: "I'll go back to Tianjing, go and kowtow to the Heavenly King, and beg him to promise to use the land city to exchange the Wing King for 8,000 years old!" ”

After that, Zeng Jinqian really wanted to rush out, but fortunately, Zhang Suimou was quite calm, and grabbed him in time, and said: "Wei Tianhou, don't be impulsive, it's not child's play to exchange the land and city for such a big thing as the eight thousand years old of the Wing King, let's not talk about whether the King of Heaven will agree, and whether the little demon will agree." ”

"Don't forget, the Transcendence Demon is now anxious to open up the Yangtze River Channel, and the cities under the direct jurisdiction of the Wing King are all in the north-central part of Anhui Province, far away from the Yangtze River, and the Transcendence Demon is not in a hurry now, and he may not agree to change people."

Listening to Zhang Suimou's warning, Zeng Jinqian cried even more and said: "Then we can't try it or not, just do it and watch the eight thousand years old of the Wing King being harmed by the Transcendence Little Demon, right?" ”

"Of course you have to give it a try."

Zhang Suimou frowned and calculated, and suddenly said: "Otherwise, Zhen Tianhou, when the demon soldiers raided the pontoon bridge of the ferry three days ago, didn't you capture some demon soldiers prisoners?" In the next fight, I would like to ask you to promise to return these captives to the Transcendence Demon, in exchange for the Transcendence Demon's ability not to kill the Wing King 8,000 years old for a period of time, and give us time to rescue the Wing King 8,000 years old. ”

After finishing speaking, Zhang Suimou added: "As long as we can temporarily stabilize and surpass the little demon, and let him not rush to kill the Wing King eight thousand years old, we will have hope to save the Wing King." Because the army of our Heavenly Kingdom is besieging Shanghai, and the Beyond Demon has not yet had time to open the Yangtze River waterway, the longer it drags on, the more hope we have of trying to save the Wing King 8,000 years old. ”

Lin Qirong was not very willing to agree to do this, but he couldn't resist the bitter pleading of Zhang Suimou and Zeng Jinqian, Lin Qirong still nodded reluctantly and asked, "Then what are you going to do?" ”

"Ask for the price first, and then pay back on the ground." Zhang Suimou said: "Among the demon soldiers we captured, there is a demon soldier and water division deputy general Wang Pengnian who is relatively valuable, so we first said that we are willing to use Wang Pengnian and other demon soldiers to exchange the Wing King 8,000 years old." ”

"Although the Transcendence Demon will definitely not agree, we can take the opportunity to bargain with the Transcendence Demon, using these captives as bargaining chips in exchange for the Transcendence Demon not killing the Wing King Eight Thousand Years Old for a period of time, and give us a way to exchange other things for the Wing King Eight Thousand Years Old to buy time."

"Okay, you can do this, I'll fully cooperate." Lin Qirong replied without any hope at all.
