Chapter 779: Alliance
Yi Gusi saw that Huang Zhigui's expression was calm, and he frowned slightly and said, "You said that you control your own destiny, how do you explain it?" ”
Huang Zhigui smiled and said, "Cave Master Yi, forgive me for being rude, I want to ask the cave master a question first." ”
"What?"
"Dare to ask the cave master, until the beginning of spring next year, there are still a few months to go, even if it is the beginning of spring, you can only just plant grain, if you want to have a harvest, at least until autumn." Huang Zhigui said slowly: "In other words, your ghost fang's current grain storage must be supported until next autumn, that is, for most of the year, I want to ask, does the master of Yidong have enough grain to support next autumn?" ”
Yi Gusi sneered: "You are knowingly asking!" ”
Huang Zhigui smiled faintly and asked again, "Since this is the case, is the Yi Dong Lord willing to watch your clansmen starve to death?" ”
"Of course not, no matter what, we have to survive." Yi Gusi cut the railway.
Huang Zhigui nodded, with a look of suspicion, and asked, "But I don't know what method the Yi Cave Master can come up with!" ”
Yi Gusi was stunned and suddenly dumbfounded.
Jian Hu was silent beside him, and finally said: "Yi Gusi, you have no way, unless we go down the mountain to grab it." ”
"If we really want to go that far, we'll grab it." Yi Gusi said very simply: "You can't wait to starve to death." ”
Huang Zhigui clapped his hands and smiled: "Lord Yidong is really a man with a temperament. Yes, if it were me, I wouldn't sit still, there are thousands of warriors on the ghost side, and they will never starve to death. ”
Jian suddenly said: "In the sixteen caves of our ghost side, there are at least 3,000 warriors who are good at fighting, and compared to the officers and soldiers, they are only stronger and not weaker. ”
Huang Zhigui shook his head and said: "The ghost warriors are brave, this is not wrong, but once you go down the mountain to grab food, what will be the consequences?" The government will immediately send officers and soldiers to attack you, your number is too small, if the government really makes great efforts to encircle and suppress, you can imagine the result ......! ”
Jian suddenly looked at Huang Zhigui and asked, "Dake, what do you say we should do?" ”
"Huang just said that you can't put your fate in the hands of others. Although the mountains of Daqimeng Mountain are undulating, it is by no means the best destination for you ghost people, you should be able to have your own land to cultivate food, you can do business by yourself, and even you can be an official ......! Before Huang Zhigui finished speaking, Yi Gusi interrupted: "Do you think this is possible?" ”
"Absolutely." Huang Zhigui said: "If I give you a city and land, all this will be solved." ”
Yi Gusi laughed, "A city? What city? Queensland City or Taiyuan City? Who gave us the city, is it your emperor, or you? Pick up the wine bowl and drink it all, "Don't you forget, your Huang family can only shrink in Yusuo Lake now, besieged by officers and soldiers, maybe one day the officers and soldiers will land on the island, Huang Dake, don't you worry about your own safety, but also worry about our ghost people?" ”
Huang Zhigui didn't care, and said with a smile: "Master Yidong, don't forget, just a few months ago, half of the entire Anyi was still in the hands of our Huang family. We retract our fists, just to make them more powerful. After a pause, he looked at Yi Gu and said, "Of course, I came here today not to reason with Lord Yidong, but to be able to form an alliance with the ghost party. ”
"Alliance?"
"Yes, cooperation is mutually beneficial." Huang Zhigui said: "I believe that the ghost party needs friends now, and our Huang family also needs friends like the ghost party." ”
"Dealing with the government with you?" Yi Gusi sneered: "Your Huang family is inescapable, and you want to pull our ghost Fang into the water?" ”
"Quite the opposite." Huang Zhigui shook his head and said: "Not only are we not pulling ghosts into the water, but we are also giving you the opportunity to change your fate." Lord Yidong, to tell the truth, today's Qin army is no longer the Great Qin Iron Cavalry that fought in the south and the north, and it has lost its former combat effectiveness. Anyi Dao originally had 50,000 guards, but nearly half of them were transferred to the northwest, and now there are less than 30,000 guards in Anyi, plus the state armies and the Praetorian Guards, which is only 50,000 troops when it is full. ”
Yi Gusi smiled: "How many people are in your Huang family?" ”
"Countless!" Huang Zhigui said without hesitation.
Jian suddenly frowned, Yi Gusi was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, obviously feeling ridiculous.
"The two cave masters may not believe it." Huang Zhigui said with a smile: "But what Huang said, there is not a word of falsehood. The two of them may think that our Huang family only has 3,000 people on the two islands of Yusuo Lake, and only those stupid guys in the government will think so. ”
Yi Gusi said unceremoniously: "Although we live in Daqimeng Mountain, we are not ignorant of things outside, as far as I know, except for Yusuo Lake, your Huang family has nowhere to stay, and those who were involved with your Huang family have already drawn a line with you, I don't know what you said is countless, where did it come from?" ”
Huang Zhigui smiled incomprehensibly, and then took out a gold ingot, the golden light was shining, Jian Hu and Yi Gusi glanced at each other, Huang Zhigui had already said: "The two cave masters must know that when Yingyuan raised an army, he was once exhausted of grain and horses, if it wasn't for my Huang family to fund him, how could he come to this Great Qin world?" Compete for the world, fight for who has more money and food, more money and food, naturally more soldiers and horses, and then there are strategists and fierce generals who cross the battlefield gathered under the command of the Ming Lord, and the world is naturally at your fingertips. ”
Yi Gu Si said: "You mean to say that this gold can be turned into soldiers and horses?" ”
"For most soldiers, the purpose of their desperate efforts is nothing more than to be able to eat their stomachs, make military achievements, and get rewards." Huang Zhigui said calmly: "Food, our Huang family is not lacking, and there is no shortage of money." Before the Great Qin, our Huang family was a wealthy family in Anyi, and now that twenty years have passed, how can the family assets exceed 10 million? With these, you can recruit troops, and you will soon be strong. ”
Jian Hu frowned and said, "Huang Dake, as far as I know, it seems that your family assets have been seized by the government!" ”
"It's just a drop in the bucket if it's seized." Huang Zhigui laughed and said: "And the two cave masters also know what the family property left in Taiyuan is?" It's real estate, it's real estate, it's shops, it's all dead things, and the government can't move it, even if he wants to turn it into money, I can guarantee that those things will definitely come back to us again before they completely sort out our Huang family's property. ”
Yi Gusi squinted at Huang Zhigui and said lightly: "You want to use gold to form an alliance with us?" ”
Huang Zhigui's face suddenly changed color, Huo Ran got up, and sneered: "Lord Yidong, when I was talking to Lord Jiandong, I learned that Lord Yi Dong was an iron-clad hero of the ghost side, and he always put the interests of the clan first. Huang himself is not a hero, but he admires the hero, on the way here, he was excited, and he has always wanted to drink with a hero like Yi Dongzhu, but Yi Dongzhu's words disappointed Huang! ”
Yi Gusi suddenly showed a look of doubt, he didn't know how Huang Zhigui, who had always been smiling amiably, could suddenly become so angry.
Jian suddenly got up and said: "Huang Dake, Yi Gusi has always had such a temperament, but he is a good person, you ......!" ”
Huang Zhigui shook his head and said: "I have formed an alliance with you to treat you as equal heroes, I know that the ghost people have always cherished dignity, so I dare not have the slightest contempt for you." When I say that I want to recruit troops and buy horses with money, I don't mean that I want to recruit you with money, if you can easily buy you with money, Huang will not go on this trip in person. ”
Yi Gusi's mind was a little confused by Huang Zhigui at this time, and he didn't know what medicine was sold in Huang Zhigui's gourd for a while, seeing Yi Gusi's expression, Huang Zhigui finally sighed: "Lord Yidong, if you don't want your people to worry about lack of food and clothing all the time, if you want your people to live like ordinary people, then now is the best time." The guards have not fought for many years, the guards seem to be trained every day, but in fact most of them are incompetent people who have not gone through actual combat, when the Western Liang people invaded the northwest, 20,000 troops were transferred from Anyi to reinforce the northwest, and they were beaten into a mess, and they could not form an army, and the real force that could fight in the entire Anyi was only the Governor's Praetorian Guard, but only five thousand Janissaries, how to destroy these thousands of people, it was just a matter of day and night. ”
Yi Gusi frowned and said, "Don't say big things." The Praetorian Guard was the Governor's personal guard, and although there were only 5,000 men, if they fought head-on, I could not think of any opponent in Anyi. ”
Huang Zhigui smiled: "I know that Lord Yi Dong won't believe it, but you can wait and see what happens." Anyi will soon change, and now that the great war is imminent, as long as we defeat the Praetorian Guard, countless people will turn their backs on Anyi, and I can assure you that soon, our 'yellow' banner will be flying all over the city of Anyi. I only hope that the Lord of Yidong will move with the times, and when the time comes, you and I can advance and retreat together, Huang promises that as long as the ghost people help my Huang family break through Taiyuan City, when the time comes, you can choose any state city as your shelter. ”
Yi Gusi and Jian ignored a glance, their eyes were unbelievable, they only felt that Huang Zhigui was really a little whimsical, now the Huang family is besieged in Yusuo Lake, the day is precarious, and there is a danger of destruction at any time, but this person is talking about it, claiming to attack Taiyuan Fucheng, which is really a bit whimsical.
Huang Zhigui saw the suspicion in the eyes of the two, and said with a smile: "Huang will continue to send people to inquire about the whereabouts of the ghost master, and if there is a chance, he will definitely rescue the ghost master." If it really doesn't work, when the time comes, after we break through Taiyuan City, you will definitely be able to find the ghost master. He pointed outside, "Huang brought some food this time, and some weapons, the food should be able to last until the attack on Taiyuan City, if the weapons, the two cave masters can first ration some of your warriors, the weapons can't be transported too much, only a part, and when the actual troops are dispatched, Huang will bring you more funding." ”
"How can you get food here?" Yi Gusi was surprised: "The weapons are embargoed along the way, where did you transport them from?" ”
Huang Zhigui smiled and said, "The two cave masters should believe that our Huang family has this ability. Money can make ghosts grind, and our Huang family has accumulated twenty years, and the money is enough for us to do many impossible things. The two cave masters can think about whether they are willing to be controlled by others forever, or take your people to be upright, you don't have to give me an answer now, wait until the day when the Janissaries of the Governor of Taiyuan Mansion are destroyed, and then give me an answer. He picked up the wine bowl, drank it all, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, it's good wine!" ”
