Chapter 320: Capture the thief and capture the king first
Luo Rucai paced around in the big tent with some uneasiness, and in the big tent, there were only him and Song Zuzhi.
"Master Song, if you want me to see why bother, let's not do it, don't we stop, just send someone to dig up the estuary and flood this Guide Mansion for him?" Luo Rucai asked in confusion.
"Of course not!" Song Zuzhi said: "Dashuai will fight for the world in the future, and once the matter of breaking the river and irrigating the city spreads, it will lose the hearts of the people." The people are against each other, how can we take the world? ”
"Well...... Luo Rucai said, "What you said also has some truth. He stopped next to Song Zuzhi and said, "However, if you can't get down to the Defu Mansion, Ben Shuai will have no silver, and without silver, he will lose the capital to compete with them in the world." In this way, it is better to make a desperate bet, and when the time comes, we will hide the crime of opening the river, and say that the Yellow River will naturally burst its embankment, isn't it the same? ”
Song Zuzhi sighed deeply.
The reason why he was always reluctant to say this strategy was because he was afraid that Luo Ru would think so.
He understands too well that a rough person like Luo Rucai doesn't care about the consequences of doing something, and he doesn't think about the people's will and people's livelihood at all.
"Dashuai!" Song Zuzhi tried his best to persuade: "The Yellow River below Kaifeng is half of the water filled with sand. If we break the embankment like this, not to mention the silver after the flood, even Shangqiu City will not be found, where will you get the silver? ”
"That's right!" Luo Rucai patted his head and said, "This method of breaking the embankment, except for the threshold of life and death, seems to be unusable." Alas...... But if Su Baiyi is unwilling, what can Ben Shuai do? ”
"Don't worry!" Song Zuzhi said confidently: "Su Baiyi will definitely agree." ”
"Why?" Luo Rucai asked.
"Because he is different from Dashuai, Su Baiyi is a person who sells his reputation and reputation, and he is a second-class member of the imperial court. Once the Yellow River is lost, not only will he lose his official position and life, but his reputation will also be ruined. ”
"But what can he get by reconciling with us?" Luo Rucai asked.
"Can't get anything!" Song Zuzhi smiled: "But if he agrees to our conditions, he will lose up to 10 million taels of silver, and with his ability and means, the deficit of these silver will definitely be able to make up for it." ”
"Oh...... I see! ”
As soon as Luo Rucai's words fell, a soldier outside hurriedly ran over and arched his hand at him: "Marshal, military advisor, it's back, the messenger we sent to Shangqiu City is back." ”
"Call him in!" Luo Rucai slapped his thigh.
The messenger outside hurriedly ran over, handed the letter in his hand to Luo Rucai, and said, "Dashuai, that Su Baiyi agreed to Dashuai's request." ”
"Really!" Luo Rucai took the letter and slowly opened it, looked at Song Zuzhi and said, "Hehe, the military advisor deserves to be a military advisor, and he is clever." ”
Slowly unfolding the rice paper in his hand, Luo Rucai smiled at Song Zuzhi while reading it and said, "Hehe, this guy really agreed, but not one thousand taels, but eight hundred taels." It's okay, for Ben Shuai, it doesn't make much difference whether it is 10 million taels or 8 million taels, as long as he gives the money happily.
Oh, you see, he also said that he had to negotiate in person about unspeakable things, and that he would have to set back three miles of our defenders at the West Gate and build a high platform in the middle, and that he would have to negotiate with me for a while. ”
"Dashuai, no!" Song Zuzhi was shocked and said: "This must be the trick of Su Baiyi, and the handsome must not go to the meeting." ”
"Huh?" Luo Rucai said: "No, it's just a high platform, it's far away from both sides, and once he comes, we can see it clearly, and there will be no ambush!" ”
"Hmph, this is a common trick in the rivers and lakes!" Song Zuzhi stood up: "Did he say that he wanted to bring three or five guards, hehe, that's right, these guards should be good assassins, and they use a good show of catching thieves and capturing kings." ”
Luo Rucai frowned and asked, "How is Su Baiyi's own force?" ”
Song Zuzhi was stunned for a moment and said: "He is just a scholar who has no power to restrain the chicken, I heard that he was ambushed in Guan Bazhai last year and was stabbed by two rogue businessmen, and his wife was even injured in the uterus, so that he could not have children." ”
"Then sir, please see." Luo Rucai gave the letter paper in his hand to Song Zuzhi.
Song Zuzhi took it in his hand and looked at it, and immediately frowned: "At that time, the white clothes will go to the meeting alone, and the little sister will present the concubine who thinks she is handsome, and she is willing to marry Qin and Jin, and entrust the remnants of her life to the account of the handsome." This...... What does he Su Baiyi want to do? ”
Not only send silver, but also send girls!
There are such.
Luo Rucai said lightly: "When the marshal pulled out the camp from Xingyang, Yuan Mo feint to attack our department and then report to the court, we don't understand the means played by these court officials, but what Su Baiyi invited, it should be the same, and after I see him, let's find out!" With a wave of his hand, he said to the outside: "Come on, retreat three miles, and build a platform." ”
"Dashuai, my subordinates still think it's inappropriate!"
"Hey...... The military advisor doesn't need to say much, the commander has made up his mind! Luo Rucai waved his hand, then hurried back to his small tent and tore the envelope again.
There's something on the bottom of this envelope.
His thick palm was slightly raised, and the three photos fell into his hand, and the girl's eyebrows in the photo were like green mountains and eyes like autumn water, her skin was better than snow, and her cheeks were new. Tall figure, soft figure.
The point is, it's still dressed up so beautifully!
This is Su Baiyi's sister?
Luo Rucai's eyes bent, and the horns in the corners of his mouth were about to flow out.
……
At the head of the city of Guide Mansion, Shi Dian looked at Su Baiyi with some concern and said, "Boy, if I go, are you sure it's okay?" ”
"It's okay, grandpa!" Su Qing bowed to him: "Although Sun'er's kung fu is not as good as your old man's, it is still more than enough to deal with a few thieves, so your old man doesn't have to worry." ”
"Hmm!" Su Baiyi patted Shi Dian's shoulder, "You once defeated Guo Cheng in Dengzhou, this is something that can't be hidden, if it takes you over, it is very likely to be bad." ”
"How about I?" Guo Cheng patted his chest.
"No, you have already killed them before the battle, and if they recognize you, they will not go forward." Su Baiyi waved his hand with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm not a soft persimmon, open the door, let's go." ”
Although he has only been practicing internal kung fu for a few months, even if he is not as powerful as Su Qing now, he can still protect himself, and as long as Su Qing captures Luo Rucai, then the big thing will be decided.
The reinforced concrete wall at the west gate has long been removed and replaced with a new door.
Su Baiyi didn't ride a horse, he was dressed in white, and he didn't even bring a weapon, so he shook a folding fan and walked forward slowly with his sister Su Qing.
Ahead, all the houses in the outer city were bulldozed, and Luo Rucai's army also retreated three miles. There is nothing to block the view between the army and the city wall of Guide Province, and in the middle of the position, a small high platform about one zhang high has been prepared, and the situation around the high platform can be seen from the head of the city, and there is no possibility of hiding soldiers at all.
"Do you see any mystery?" After Luo Rucai waited for Su Baiyi to walk to the high platform, he was still holding a clairvoyant mirror in the camp to watch, and at the same time asked the people around him.
Lu Xiong said: "No, just his brother and sister." No, that stupid big guy who can fight is at the head of the city. ”
"Is this person Su Baiyi?" Song Zuzhi asked, "Could it be that the bag was dropped?" ”
"Impossible!" Luo Rucai put away his clairvoyance and said: "Ben Shuai watches with a clairvoyant mirror every day, how can he admit his mistake, it seems that there is nothing to worry about, he Su Baiyi is so courageous, I Luo Rucai can't lose the battle, let's go over alone." ”
"Dashuai, no!" Song Zuzhi said: "He said in the letter, we can take five people there." ”
"Cut!" Luo Rucai flicked his sleeves: "What kind of person is this handsome, if you have to bring five people in the face of a powerless scholar and a weak woman, wouldn't it make the heroes on the rivers and lakes laugh." ”
He came from a reckless background, and he was a brother to many characters in the green forests of the Ming Dynasty, and what he said was also true. Actually, he has another side to consider.
Just kidding, according to Luo Ru is a reckless hero, I have to bring five big men to see a delicate little lady, wouldn't it make my girl look down on me?
Thinking of the appearance of the little lady, Luo Ru couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
"Big brother, I'd better go with you." Lu Xiong was a little worried.
Luo Rucai looked at Su Baiyi, then at Lu Xiong, nodded, and then the two of them went to the meeting in full clothes.
Su Baiyi stood on the high platform, his figure set off by a white coat was even longer, his left hand was behind his back, his right hand opened the folding fan and shook slowly, the long shirt had big sleeves, the hunting wind was continuous, and there was a smile on his face under the sun. And beside him, a tall woman stood by the wind, green silk like a waterfall, a good pair.
Luo Rucai slowly came to the stage with a full body armor and a bloated and short figure, the clothes and armor on his body rattled, and he said with a smile as he walked up: "Mr. Su is very courageous, and it is about Yun Chang's style of going to the meeting with a single knife." ”
While talking, the two went up to the high platform.
Su Baiyi smiled slightly and said, "Isn't Luo Dashuai also going to the meeting alone?" ”
Luo Rucai looked at the weapon in his hand with some embarrassment, laughed, and arched his hand: "Ashamed, ashamed." Raising his eyes and falling on Su Qing's body next to him, it was exactly the same as the painting on the painting, he was immediately stunned, and said to Su Baiyi: "This is Mr. Su's sister-in-law, sure enough, hahaha, fair lady, good gentleman." ”
Su Baiyi's folding fan closed slightly, and then opened it decisively, and the words "Dragon Flag Second Lieutenant" written in a big seal on the back were still floating with ink fragrance, and said: "Luo Dashuai, let's talk about some serious things!" ”
"Get down to business, get down to business!" Luo Rucai's greedy gaze was withdrawn from Su Qing's body, and he smiled at Su Baiyi and said: "Mr. Su, when you enter Ben Shuai's account, everything is easy to say, what the emperor can give you, Ben Shuai can give it all." Hehe, we will also be relatives in the future, and when Ben Shuai Nan says that he is lonely and does the world, you will be the prime minister. ”
"Just you?" The corners of Su Baiyi's mouth showed a look of sarcasm: "You are such a person, and you still want to be called a lonely widow?" Do you deserve it too? ”
"You ......" Luo Rucai was stunned for a moment, secretly said bad in his heart, and asked in his mouth: "What do you mean?" ”
Su Baiyi smiled and flicked his fan, "It's not interesting, I just want Luo Shuai and these people under you." ”
