Chapter Twenty-Nine: Solicitation
After thinking about it again and again, Zhang Bai asked Zhang Chao solemnly: "General Zhang Chao, we should be honest with each other now, and all parties can work together to overcome the current difficulties." Please tell General Zhang Chao the truth, what other means did Chen Liuzhong have that he had not used? Strictly speaking, there is only one general under the command of Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao, Liu Yi, as a county town, as a prince who has left a name in history, such a scene is too embarrassing and difficult to trust. Today's crossbowmen who suddenly appeared are examples, and Zhang Bai believes that Zhang Miao should have other means to hide.
Zhang Chao was surprised, he didn't expect Zhang Bai to say this, he thought about it seriously, shook his head and sighed: "For several years, the eldest brother has no intention of fighting for hegemony, plus the emperor has lived in seclusion here, and the princes of all parties have deliberately avoided this place no matter how they attack. Fortunately, the birth of the Lord has enabled us to get rid of it, but unfortunately it is too late to sharpen the knife in the battle, and I will not lie to you in such a situation, as you can see, it is already all the strength that I have left. Zhang Chao sighed, it seems that their brothers don't understand the truth of being prepared.
Zhang Bai was dumbfounded: 'Really? He stared at Zhang Chao seriously, only to see that his face was full of unwillingness, but he didn't seem to be cheating.
Zhang Chao nodded seriously and stared at Zhang Bai tightly, hoping that he could come up with some treasures to save Chen Liu. It's been eleven years, and Liu Xie's first shot must be targeted! Will he let his messenger return in vain and laugh at the world?
'Hey~' Zhang Bai sighed, "General Zhang Chao, now that the soldiers are coming to the city, we can't solve the fire from afar, the only thing we can rely on is ourselves, and we dare not say anything about defeating the thieves, but if the general can hold on for three days, I promise that the turnaround will come!" Just hold on for three days, I wonder if the general has confidence? β
Zhang Chao glanced at Zhang Bai and fell into silence, three days~ How easy is it to say, once the thieves use the chariot and chariot, then the fierce beasts and the thieves can easily climb to the top of the city, what will Chen Liu take to defend at that time? Is it a player army that hasn't even learned how to rely on battle formations? That's it!
But now there is only one way to fight: 'Angel, are you sure there will be a turnaround in three days?' β
Zhang Bai nodded without hesitation. Zhang Chao took a deep breath, seemed to have made a difficult decision, his face was solemn, and he said to Zhang Bai: "If it only takes three days, Chao still has a way!" β
'I would like to hear about it.' β
'Attach my martial arts to the dragon cannon to Chen Liucheng, and the mighty angel of the dragon cannon has also seen it, and it should be able to hold out for three days. Zhang Chao said resolutely.
Once the weapon martial arts are attached to the city or specific weapons, the martial arts will disappear forever, and I can no longer use them, Zhang Bai was in awe, although this was what he wanted Zhang Chao to do.
"It's justβ" a flash of fierceness flashed in his eyes, "For many years, the eldest brother did not levy taxes on the inhabitants and did not occupy the numismatic mines, and now the mansion is beyond his means, and there are not many gold coins, so I am afraid that it will not be enough to make the cost of shooting dragon cannons." In addition, if it is necessary to keep the old age, other equipment should also be added. β
'What then?' Looking at Zhang Chao's appearance, he knew that he must have a way, but Zhang Bai still followed him.
'Now there is only one way, the last time the angel went to the palace, he saw the monk, Weizi and others, can you remember? Zhang Bai nodded, "Du Shang and my eldest brother are one of the eight chefs, and Gu is a wealthy family." The cook, who can save people with money, and the Wei family, who is a big family for me, is also duty-bound. Now that Chen Liu is in danger, it is time for them to sacrifice their wealth to save others. β
Zhang Bai understood what he meant, he was ready to eat a big family, but he didn't object, but said approvingly: "It should be so." β
Zhang Chao struggled to stand up, but as soon as he got up, his face turned pale suddenly, and he instantly sat down again: "Chao is not feeling well, I'm afraid that this matter will have to be persuaded by the angel in person, I am really ashamed." β
The corners of his mouth twitched, and this kind of offending work was handed over to me? However, for the sake of Zhang Chao's hard performance, he still readily agreed: "Yes." β
Zhang Chao was obviously relieved, and beckoned a soldier to lead the way for Zhang Bai: "This matter is troublesome to the angels, Chen Liuzhi's survival is tied to the hands of adults, and you must succeed." β
Zhang Bai didn't say much, and left the city tower under the leadership of the soldiers, and the first thing he arrived at was Du Shang's house, which was a majestic mansion located in the luxurious residential area of Chenliu, covering an extremely vast area, and the gate alone was larger than an ordinary residence.
After the report, Du Shang met Zhang Bai in the study, turning around, along the way, you can see many people packing things, Zhang Bai muttered in his heart, this old boy is preparing to move?
'Why did you come?' From Zhang Miao, he learned the identity of Zhang Baixian's envoy, and Du Shang was quite respectful.
'Came to save Chen. Zhang Bai didn't talk nonsense, and explained the future meaning straightforwardly.
Du Shang did not hesitate and seemed to have already guessed Zhang Bai's intention, and readily agreed: "The old man is preparing to go out to visit friends, it would be great to make a contribution to Chen Liuduo before leaving, angel, please wait a moment, come here." β
A little Si ran in: 'Master. β
'Go and fetch a thousand gold coins.' Du Shang commanded.
Zhang Bai was shocked, as soon as he made a move, it was a thousand gold coins! This guy is so rich! But it was a bit more than he expected, and it disrupted his plans a little.
'Du Gong Zhen is a righteous man. Zhang Bai still praised.
Du Shang waved his hand: "The old man also worked as a taishou when he was young, and he knows the suffering of the people in the war. β
The so-called eight chefs, including Du Shang, Zhang Bai didn't know him, but at this time, when he heard that he had actually been a Taishou, he couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Since the old gentleman was naturally proficient in the art of war for Taishou, and now the thieves are pressing the city, why don't you help Lord Taishou?" β
'When the old injuries were combined, the old man almost died, but fortunately he met the miracle doctor to survive so far, hey~ old, this old bone is afraid that he is unable to go into battle, ashamed. β
Du Shang directly refused, but Zhang Bai was in his chest, only to see him take out an E-class general soul, and said with a smile: "With this thing, does the old gentleman still need to worry about his body?" β
'This is?! Du Shang was stunned at first, and then he was shocked, "Isn't it the legendary general soul?" Du Shang looked at Zhang Bai in surprise, "The old man is willing to pay 100,000 ~ no, 200,000 gold coins to buy this treasure!" Please also ask the adults to cut their love. β
Twenty thousand? Zhang Bai couldn't help but be speechless, but he still shook his head resolutely, a big reason why he was willing to take on this task was on the soul, last time he had already found out that Du Shang had never had a soul, which gave him an opportunity. For these ordinary NPCs, the soul means immortality! Who can resist this temptation? Really! This is confirmed by Dushang's reaction.
Seeing Zhang Bai shaking his head, Du Shang couldn't help but be annoyed, what are you doing if you don't sell it!! Are you hungry for an old man? Or is 20,000 too little: 'Please ask the adults to make a price, and the old man sincerely asks for it.' β
'Don't worry, old man, I can give this soul directly to him, but I have a request, you need to move to my territory and become my resident, and I can also help you pass the soul test, but if you want to be a leader, you can only serve me. β
Du Shang felt that this was not a request at all, so he immediately agreed: 'Minister, Du Shang, meet the lord!' β
There was no system prompt, presumably because he had not yet given him the soul, Zhang Bai was not in a hurry, and stepped forward to help Du Shang up: "No need to be polite." He directly took out an E-class and handed the soul to Du Shang, "The Wei family is the Chen Liuhao clan, and the Wei Zi and Wei Hong brothers are all talented, do you think it is possible to serve me?" β
Du Shang thought about it seriously: "Brother Weizi Weihong is a proud person, and it may not be easy to make them surrender. These two are third-rate generals, how can they easily surrender to Zhang Bai's men, after all, Zhang Bai's foundation is still too poor.
'Call me first, and I'll leave the matter to you, and even if you don't want to serve me, you can sell your soul to them.' β
'The old minister obeys the order, and will try his best to persuade the Wei family to vote! Du Shang immediately called his subordinates to Wei's house and invited them to come over to discuss the matter.
Zhang Bai felt weird, it seemed that he had said this to the emperor or something, right?
After waiting for about the tea time, the Weizi Weihong brothers came, and Zhang Bai hid in the next room and Du Shang came forward to meet the two, which was also an opportunity to prevent the failure of the solicitation in the future.
Although Du Shang does not have a soul, his identity is not simple, Wei Zi and the others are quite respectful, but when it comes to loyalty to Zhang Bai, they are not enthusiastic, only saying that the Wei family is a businessman and has no intention of becoming a businessman. In the end, the two of them bought three E-rank general souls for 500,000 gold coins each and left. When 1.5 million gold coins were credited to the account, Zhang Bai was full of emotion, he thought it was impossible, but now it has been reached, but unfortunately time has passed, and Tang Zhou has left. Moreover, Du Shang was able to sell the soul for 500,000 gold coins each, but he only bid 100,000 before! What a TNND pit!
Leaving Du Shang to continue to pack up and prepare to move, Zhang Bai returned to the south gate. As soon as he saw Zhang Bai coming back, Zhang Chao immediately greeted him, took 10,000 gold coins, and was overjoyed, he didn't expect Zhang Bai to ask for 10,000 gold coins, his gloomy and pale face eased a lot, and the white red revealed a trace of joy. Immediately beckoned two system soldiers to explain a few words, and then one of the soldiers went towards Liu Yi, but the other hurriedly got off the city tower and ran into the city, and they didn't know what Zhang Chao had explained.
'General? Zhang Bai stepped forward to ask what was going on, but Zhang Chao just waved his hand without saying a word, and even sat directly on the ground, his face became more and more pale and weaker.
After a while, Liu Yi hurried over, ran to Zhang Chao and bowed down: "The last general thanked the general for the righteousness of Chen Liu's soldiers and residents!" Thank you for the righteousness of the angels! β
Zhang Bai looked confused, wasn't the panache who ran up to greet him just now quite sufficient? That's it. Zhang Chao waved his hand weakly: "Go, send people to supervise more, we only need to hold on for three days in this battle, and the treasure house and vault left by Chen are at your disposal, only need to be counted after the war, and there is no need to ask for instructions during the war." β
'The last general commands! Liu Yi couldn't hide the joy on his face, so there was a lot to be done!
'General, in order to raise gold coins, I have promised Du Shang to let him move his family out for refuge, and the general will not refuse to agree, right?' Taking advantage of the fact that the two of them were alone, Zhang Bai put forward the conditions.
'Refuge? Zhang Chao's face was unhappy, "Now there are traitors in all counties of Yanzhou, where can I take refuge?" It's better to stay and work together to get through the difficulties. β
