Chapter 0018: Make a bet
Hearing Huang Shao's words, Lin Wuwu lowered his eyebrows and thought for a while, before he asked, "How many people are under your command?" ”
Huang Shao saw that Lin Wuwu did not refuse, and he immediately said with joy: "There are more than 10,000 people and horses, and they are now stationed on Yinggou Ridge. ”
Lin Wuwu looked at Huang Shao and asked, "Is there any grain for March?" ”
Huang Shao was stunned for a moment, and then said very bitterly: "There is only ten days' food, and there is no March food." "If they could have three months' worth of food, they wouldn't have formed a horse team of more than 100 people to go around robbing the food of the rich families in those villages.
"Looks like you're short of food." Lin Wuwu said with a smile, "Huang Shao, among your more than 10,000 people, it is estimated that there are less than 1,000 people who can have combat effectiveness, and it is only more than 100 people who can be regarded as elite." As he spoke, Lin Wuwu glanced at the more than 100 sturdy men behind Huang Shao, these men did seem to be very combative, but they were all just some brainless people.
Huang Shao was told by Lin Wuwu that he was embarrassed by the Yellow Turban Army, and he said with some embarrassment: "Lin Yingying...... Over the years, we have been hiding in Tibet, and it is good that we can keep more than 10,000 people. ”
"The old, weak, women and children are not an army, at most they are refugees. Like you, hiding in the mountains and forests, with the topography of the mountains and forests, you can only barely survive, if the imperial court blocks the mountains and forests, and comes to burn the mountains and forests, you old and weak women and children, I am afraid that you will only be buried in the fire. Even if they don't burn the mountains and forests, they only need to poison the water source, or curb your grain and grass, and control your salt. Men like you, to tell the truth, give me a hundred, and I will kill them all. Lin Wuwu looked at Huang Shao and said.
Huang Shao lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking, and after a while, he raised his head, walked in front of Lin Wuwu very solemnly, knelt down on his knees, clenched his fists and said: "Lin Yingying, if you can guide Huang Nianhua to the way out, I am willing to serve you as the lord." ”
"I'm neither a celebrity nor a court official, you worship someone like me as the lord, did you choose the wrong person?" Lin Wuwu looked at Huang Shao coldly and asked.
When Huang Shao heard this, he secretly thought in his heart: "If there is a better choice, I am afraid that I will not worship you as the master." He gritted his teeth, and then said, "Even if you are not a well-known man, but from your bravery, and your words can point out the shortcomings in my army, you can guide us to a better way." ”
"So, do you really want to worship me as Lord?" Lin Wuwu looked at Huang Shao and asked.
Huang Shao nodded, and said very seriously: "I, Huang Shao, say nothing." Huang Nianhua, knock to see the lord. ”
The Yellow Turban sergeants behind Huang Shao saw him kneeling down to worship Lin Wuwu as the lord, although they were not very satisfied, they still knelt down and worshiped Lin Wuwu as the lord.
"I'll see my lord."
Looking at the more than 100 people kneeling on the ground, Lin Wuwu was silent for a while, and then said: "If you worship me as the Lord, you should obey my orders, and do not disobey my orders, otherwise I will not dare to sit on the position of the lord." ”
Huang Shao said: "My lord, please rest assured, since we respect you as the Lord, we will definitely respect your orders." ”
"Knock on the lord." More than 100 people said.
Lin Wuwu said, "Get up." ”
After hearing this, these people slowly stood up.
Guo Jia, who saw all this in the water and grass, also walked out with the old housekeeper Guo Zhong at this time. Guo Jia said to Lin Wuwu with a smile on his face: "Congratulations to Wuwu, congratulations to Wuwu, in a few words, you will receive an elite army." He saw that these people worshiped Lin Wuwu as the main father, this Lin Wuwu was really powerful, and he actually subdued more than 10,000 Yellow Turban remnants in Yinggou Ridge with a few words.
"This is my brother, Guo Fengxiao." Lin Wuwu said immediately.
"I've seen Mr. Guo." Huang Shao saw that although Guo Jia was a sick man, he was wearing a literati's scholar's uniform, so he naturally called Guo Jia Mr.
Guo Jia looked at Huang Shao and nodded, and then he asked, "Don't worry, since these people worship you as the Lord, what should you do with them?" ”
"I heard that the new monarch has made his debut to the great treasure. Presumably, if I lead more than 10,000 people to surrender at this time, Your Majesty will definitely not treat us badly. Lin Wuwu looked at Guo Jia, and then said with a smile.
Guo Jia frowned, and he asked, "The new monarch has just ascended to the great treasure?" How do you know ...... "You know, although the emperor is seriously ill, but there is no news of the emperor's death, where did this new monarch come from when he first ascended to the throne?"
"When today's son has already passed away, it is just that He Jin and others do not mourn in order to control the courtiers and the princes of the world. I watched the sky last night and learned that the news of the death of the Son of Heaven in the near future will inevitably inform the world, and He Jin and others will inevitably assist the new monarch to ascend the throne. If I lead more than 10,000 people to surrender on the occasion of the new king's first ascension to the great throne, the new king will definitely treat these people well. Lin Wuwu looked at Guo Jia and said.
Guo Jia suddenly couldn't help laughing, he looked at Lin Wuwu and said, "Wuwu, I still underestimate you." After a while, Guo Jia suppressed his smile, looked at Lin Wuwu very seriously and asked, "Wuwu, how about I make a bet with you?" ”
"Fengxiao, what are you going to bet on?" Lin Wuwu asked.
"When the news of today's death is announced." Guo Jia said, "This place is less than a hundred miles away from Luoyang, if He Jin reports the news of His Majesty's death to the world, I think it will soon spread here." I will set a deadline of three days, and if after three days the news of your majesty's death comes out of the palace, I will worship you as Lord with them, for you to drive. If the news of His Majesty's death comes out three days later, you ......"
Lin Wuwu immediately said: "I am driven by you, whoever you worship as the Lord, I will serve whoever is the Lord, how about this?" After he said this, he smiled slightly at Guo Jia.
Guo Jia immediately said: "A word is a certainty. ”
"It's a deal." Lin Wuwu said. He thought of something again, and couldn't help but look at Guo Jia and said, "Yesterday, the plan you devised with Cao Mengde, the captain of the Nadian Military Academy, was afraid that it would fail. ”
"It's okay, I'll write a letter and have someone send it to him and let him know about it." Guo Jia said, "What's more, if you want to serve the imperial court, you must have a guide." I saw that Cao Mengde was worthy of this guide. ”
"Cao Mengde?!" Hearing this name, Huang Shao couldn't help but grit his teeth and said, "It was this guy who slaughtered more than 100,000 of my innocent believers in Guangzong, mostly old and weak women and children. Shao can't wait to eat its flesh and pillow its skin. My lord, if this person leads us to the court, we would rather die than surrender. ”
