Chapter 191: Verbal Argument (1st Update)
Gu Ziyuan's eyebrows moved, and he said with a smile: "Boy, this is a military plane, what do you stupid Sui dogs know?" There are our people in the city, and if we attack it, it will be easy to take Suzhou, but if you jump over the wall in a hurry and kill my father and elder in the city, we will kill the Sui dogs in the whole city, and we will also lose. ā
Wang Huaqiang smiled slightly: "General Gu, this time I came on behalf of General Huangfu to release goodwill and show sincerity for cooperation, but you don't seem to have this kind of sincerity, is it meaningful to brag about how strong you are here?" Just you, the rabble who gathered temporarily, and you peasants who didn't even have armor and spears, wanted to capture Suzhou, which was high in the city and deep in the pool? That's a dream! ā
As soon as these words came out, Gu Ziyuan's face changed, and Liu Yuanjin pointed at Wang Huaqiang and scolded: "I have long seen that you kid is not a good person, and he really came to take the opportunity to find out the truth of our army, handsome, I can't let this kid go back, so I will take him off the sacrificial flag now." ā
Wang Huaqiang sighed: "General Liu, do you think that our family General Huangfu is a fool?" What kind of goods and equipment your army is, we have already seen it clearly, and we still need me to come in and inquire again? ā
The muscles on Liu Yuanjin's face were beating, his eyes were about to burst out, and Gu Ziyuan said in a deep voice: "Yuanjin, retreat first." ā
This Liu Yuanjin seemed to be quite jealous of Gu Ziyuan, although he was indignant in his heart, he could only bow and stand back. I only heard Gu Ziyuan say: "In this case, your Sui army is so strong in combat, why don't you pull the team out, and we will make an appointment to fight in this field." Let's see if these peasants of our Jiangnan can defeat your Great Sui Iron Army, how about it? ā
Wang Huaqiang smiled and waved his hand: "General Gu." My general, Huangfu, has been closed to the city for so many days, not because he is afraid of you. But I don't want to shed more large-scale blood to grudge the Jiangnan people, besides, even if you win, what can you do? Our army now has few people in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is impossible to divide troops to guard various places, so it can only defend Jiankang and Suzhou, these important strongholds, and when our Jiangbei army arrives, General Huangfu will naturally open the city to fight with you. ā
Gu Ziyuan's eyebrows moved. Standing up and pacing back and forth for two steps, he groaned for a while, twisted and looked at Wang Huaqiang: "Boy, what do you want to say when you come to my camp?" Don't talk about all this uselessness, you don't want to open the city for a decisive battle, and you don't want to surrender, are you here to make me happy? ā
Wang Huaqiang said with a straight face: "General Gu Huwei, our family General Huangfu is also admired. How can Ben entertain General Gu in the future? When Ben first came in, he made it clear that he was here to talk about cooperation. ā
Gu Ziyuan sat back in the handsome position with a golden knife, and said in a deep voice: "Cooperation? They will not surrender or leave. That is, friend or foe, what kind of cooperation can there be between enemies? ā
Wang Huaqiang smiled slightly: "Many of your army's family members are still in the city. Today, in order to express the sincerity of cooperation, our general Huangfu released several hundred people. Now there are more than 1,000 people in the city, and we have been guarding the city for three months. The soldiers want to drink wine and eat meat, although there is enough food and grass in the city, but there is a lack of wine and meat, so General Huangfu mentioned yƬ, and your army exchanged wine and meat for your relatives in the city, which is this cooperation. ā
Gu Ziyuan suddenly burst out laughing, and the rebel generals around him also laughed wildly, Wang Huaqiang had long expected that they would react like this, and it was not surprising, he stood in place with a smile and said nothing.
After Gu Ziyuan finished laughing, he pointed at Wang Huaqiang and shouted: "You kid, you are satisfied with lies, saying that you are sincere, but it is all fart, do you think we don't know the situation in your city?" Obviously, your granary in the city caught fire last night, and the food was already insufficient, and it was no longer possible to support it, so you would let these women, children and old people out of the city, and you are still here pretending to talk to me about what conditions? Do you think you are qualified to negotiate this condition? ā
Wang Huaqiang said unhurriedly: "If I don't have this qualification, I'm afraid that General Gu would have ordered the general to be divided into corpses a long time ago." You still have more than 1,000 people in the hands of our army, if General Huangfu gives an order, all these people fall to the ground, anyway, you are all guilty of rebellion, according to the law, the nine clans should be punished, kill these people, the emperor will not blame. ā
Gu Ziyuan's face changed greatly, and he shot the case, and the other rebel generals in the tent also unsheathed their swords one by one, and the shining sword light pierced Wang Huaqiang's eyes and the pupils contracted.
Gu Ziyuan pointed at Wang Huaqiang and shouted: "The surname Wang, if you dare to touch a single hair of the villagers in our city, I will definitely chop you alive, and then chop you into meat sauce and distribute it to the soldiers of the whole army to eat." ā
Wang Huaqiang looked directly into Gu Ziyuan's eyes without flinching: "Anyway, you have already killed and eaten a lot of Great Sui officials like this, it doesn't hurt to have one more of me, General Gu, I said when I went out of the city today that I have long put life and death out of the way, but if I die, more than a thousand people will be buried with me, and it will be absolutely worth it." ā
Gu Ziyuan's brows twisted into a Sichuan character, and he sat back in his chair helplessly, while the rebel generals around him also lost their momentum one by one, and silently returned their swords to the sheath.
Gu Ziyuan glanced at Wang Huaqiang, and his tone was a little calmer: "Wang joined the army, no matter how you say it, you are also an official army of the Sui Dynasty, and now you are playing kidnapping like the King of the Mountain, don't you feel ashamed?" ā
Wang Huaqiang laughed, his laughter was full of pride and confidence, which was also what he was satisfied with after practicing several times yesterday, he must be heroic but not as exaggerated as Zhou Xingchi: "General Gu, use extraordinary methods in extraordinary times, and you also know very well that now my troops in the south of the Great Sui River are insufficient, and General Huangfu doesn't want the lives in the city to be ruined, this method should be the best, but even if we release these people, you still won't attack the city."
Because you, General Gu, know very well that with your little strength, it is impossible to capture Suzhou City, and if you lose too badly, the leaders of your subordinates who come from all over the country will also leave you. You also know very well that General Huangfu has no intention of opening the city to fight with you and consuming troops, so you are happy to reach a tacit understanding with him like this, besiege but not attack, right? ā
Gu Ziyuan's eyes flashed, he glanced at the generals on both sides, and said in a deep voice: "You all go out first, I have something to say to this person." ā
Liu Yuanjin shouted anxiously: "Marshal, this person has bad intentions, don't fall for him!"
Gu Ziyuan frowned: "I would have to think about the families of the soldiers in the city, Yuan Jin, you don't have relatives in the city, but it doesn't mean that other people can be the same as you." I've got my own measure, and I'll step down!"
Liu Yuanjin stomped his feet hatefully, turned around and walked out, and the other rebel generals also came out of the camp with a long sigh, and only Gu Ziyuan and four or five personal guards were left in the tent.
Gu Ziyuan said to Wang Huaqiang: "Wang joins the army, now you have something to say, these are my personal soldiers, absolutely loyal to me, don't worry." ā
Wang Huaqiang laughed, revealing a mouth full of white teeth: "Then open the skylight and say something bright." In fact, General Gu should also know that the Jiangnan Rebellion is unlikely to last, once the imperial court levies a large army to suppress it, even the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Chen Dynasty will not be able to fight against it, how can you rebels who have set up their own mountains to stand on their own? ā
Gu Ziyuan said in a deep voice: "Wang joins the army, don't forget, the people of Jiangnan are all focused on the Southern Dynasty, and the Feng Han people are tracing back, even if your Sui army has an advantage in military strength, but after all, it is a foreign country of the Hu people, unpopular, and it is impossible for the army to be stationed in my Jiangnan for a long time, even if we send troops to suppress our uprising this time, as soon as the army leaves, there will be people who will continue to raise troops, don't you know this?" ā
Wang Huaqiang nodded: "Yes, about this, clear-eyed people know it, that's why the emperor will exempt the land of Jiangnan from taxes for ten years, practice benevolent government, and even withdraw the army, just to get the heart of the Jiangnan people, but unfortunately you don't appreciate it, take our emperor's leniency as weakness, and start a rebellion, General Gu, you are a smart person, do you really think you can win?" ā
Gu Ziyuan was silent, obviously he himself knew very well that the military power in his hand could not confront the Sui army.
As soon as Wang Huaqiang saw that the fish had been hooked, he stepped forward and said in a low voice: "However, my general Huangfu admires General Gu very much, and is willing to ask the emperor to pardon General Gu, and he can also give you an official position in the future, and even let you keep this army and garrison the Jiangnan area as an official army."
