The Battle of the Kingdoms Chapter 118 Encounters and Unknowns (Returning from a Business Trip)
Lifting the tent door, the sentry let the Wu brothers in, leaving him outside.
Wu Ye saw at a glance the young man sitting in the middle of the tent, he was not a few years older than himself, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a unique look of concentration, especially a pair of eyes, which contained the power of calm like a deep pool.
Intelligence said that this young man's name is Lu Xuan, and he doesn't seem to look like a real Jin Guo from the outside, but he has a high prestige among the homeless, not only solved the big riot caused by the homeless people in the early days of fighting for food, but also successfully led everyone through the difficult period of food shortage, at present, although the gathering place managed by Lu Qi himself is short of food, but basically can maintain a normal life, several other large gathering places accepted Lu Yan's plan, and have survived this difficult period, and slowly got on the right track, everyone feels that hope is in the future, Life will get better and better.
But only Lu Zhen and a few other leaders knew that this was just an illusion of a happy life, and when the original plants and animals in this land were eaten, the real famine would sweep away the homeless people's dwellings, and there would really be nothing they could do about it.
Lu Yan looked at the Wu brothers who entered the house, frowned, and asked, "The two of you are from the Gongcheng?" ”
Wu Ye nodded and said straight to the point: "That's right, I am Wu Ye, the new city commander of Gongcheng. ”
Hearing this, Lu Yu stood up and looked at Wu Ye, as if he didn't quite believe that the young man in front of him was the new master of Gongcheng who had recently set off a big storm in Zheng Guo.
Wu Ye said calmly: "Mr. Lu, this time the two of us brothers came here because we wanted to cooperate with Mr. ”
Lu Yan stared at Wu Ye tightly and said, "I'm afraid that the Wucheng Order has found the wrong place, our people here can't even eat enough, what conditions are there to cooperate with the high-ranking City Order."
This? ”
Wu Ye said: "After Mr. Lu listens to my plan, it's not too late to make a decision. ”
Lu Yu raised his hand and said, "Wucheng Order, please speak." ”
Wu Ye said: "To the south of this place, there is a big city called the capital, Mr. Lu should know." ”
Lu Zhen said: "The granary city in the north of Zheng State. ”
Wu Ye nodded and said: "Now all the refugees of the Jin Kingdom who have entered the Zheng State have fallen into a deep famine, if there is not enough food, I am afraid it will be difficult to survive until the beginning of spring next year, I have a way to alleviate your urgent needs." ”
Lu Yu sighed and said, "Originally, you arranged for people to settle us homeless people on this land, and I knew your intentions. It's just that you suddenly came to visit at this time, which is inevitably a bit of a danger to others. ”
Wu Ye shook his head and said, "Mr. Lu may have misunderstood what I meant. ”
Lu Yu snorted and said, "Misunderstanding? In front of us poor people, is there still a need for Wucheng Ling to be so hypocritical? ”
Wu Ye laughed at himself softly: "I knew that Mr. Lu had misunderstood me, I should have asked Yan Ying to negotiate with Mr. ”
Lu Zhen walked out of the table, his eyes were like two pools of deep water, blown by the wind, slightly rippled in the distance, and said: "Wucheng Order, our group of homeless people are all leaving their hometowns to escape the war, to this strange place, you are now using food to blackmail us to take refuge in you, is it a bit despicable, although the granary of the capital is large, but there are heavy guards, you came to us, just want us to be pawns for you, if you exchange your lives for food, we can stay in the Jin Kingdom, Why bother to go to Zheng Guo to work for an irrelevant Wucheng order. ”
Wu Ye looked at Lu Yu's Gubo-like eyes, those seemingly calm but angry eyes were filled with too much hatred for the war and pity for the homeless.
Wu Ye said slowly: "Mr. Lu, in fact, I am also a homeless person, since the three brothers escaped from the Qin State with their father, and went into exile to the Jin State, they spent their childhood in exile, and they couldn't live in panic, waking up from fear every day, afraid that the war horse would break through the door and the arrow would shoot in front of them. It wasn't until the brief period of peace in Qin and Jin that our lives improved slightly, so I was no less disgusted with war than my husband. I've been wondering why these kings are keen to wage war, aren't their territories big enough, and their people aren't enough? It's a pity that I'm not a monarch and can't understand what they think. Until now, I have a small common castle, and I have tried my best to defend it, but I have found that many times I am actually unable to do it. Because they are too weak, they have no right to express their thoughts in this world, and in the face of those behemoths around them, they can only wag their tails and beg for mercy, once they are unhappy, they will come over and eat you at any time, and there will be no scum left. ”
Wu Ye paused for a moment and continued: "I don't deny my ambitions, Gongcheng and Tiger Prison are just my first steps, Yanjin, Beijing, Xinzheng, Changge, Chengying and other cities, from north to south, will eventually come to my hands, what I want to do is not to dominate one side, I just want to give these ordinary people in the troubled times a place to live and live, as individuals, they are indeed very small, but if they can be united, they are a force to be reckoned with, everyone has the right to fight for their own survival, I am just their leader." ”
Lu Yu sneered: "It's nice to say, in fact, it's not that you want us to work for you, once you succeed, how many lives will be laid to meet your ambitions." ”
Wu Ye shook his head and said: "If you insist on thinking so, I won't force it, my subordinates have already contacted several other leaders, and there will be results soon, this time you don't need to get involved, just follow us to share the fruit, as for in your heart, it doesn't matter if I think I'm taking advantage of the fire, hypocritical and despicable, or anything else, because I don't care." Those displaced people whose fate has been decided by you and me, who have no idea of the future at the moment, may usher in a better future if they can survive the famine in peace with your refusal. But if more people die for no reason because of your stubbornness, I'm afraid your heart will not feel good. ”
Lu Yu's eyes finally showed a hint of wavering, he glanced at the curtain in the room casually, Wu Ye understood, in fact, as soon as he entered the room, he felt the existence of the fourth person in the room, and he had been hiding behind the curtain silently.
The person behind the curtain should be the military advisor of Lu Yu's gathering place, and he hid behind the curtain and didn't know what the purpose was.
Wu Ye said with a smile: "Why don't you invite your friends to come out and meet and discuss the plan of cooperation together." ”
A quiet voice sounded behind the curtain: "Two big men, deign to come to our dirty homeless land, without any demand, just hoping to save the homeless people from fire and water. ”
