Chapter 195: Hiding a knife in a smile
Sanshengshi knew that Chen Hao would not let go of the opportunity to humiliate him, and he also knew what Chen Hao wanted to punish him, so he said with a slight sneer: "The lower official doesn't know what the crime is, and the lower official is unfortunately infected with the wind and cold, so he has been resting in the camp. Knowing that Da Jin summoned Xia Guan to come with a sick face, he didn't pay a salute to Da Jin, and hoped that Da Jin would forgive him. It's just that if Da Jin uses this to punish the crime, it seems to be ungraceful, and the lower officials are not satisfied. ”
Chen Hao would never underestimate Sanshengshi, so he knew very well that Sanshengshi would make a good excuse first if he didn't salute. In front of everyone's eyes, Sanshengshi came with an illness, and Gu Wenqi testified, if Chen Hao used this as an excuse to make trouble, it might arouse the dissatisfaction of the lower-level soldiers of the Jianrui Battalion, which would lead to conflicts.
Although Chen Hao said that he brought a thousand soldiers and horses to come, he could win if he caused a conflict, but he would not use violence unless he had to. Sanshengshi made an excuse for being sick, Chen Hao strode forward and patted him on the shoulder and said: "This official doesn't know that Sanshengshi Baihu is sick, and you really shouldn't let you come to the military with illness, Sanshengshi Baihu is good at recuperation, and after the illness is recovered, I will have one more tiger general under my command, haha!." ”
Chen Hao's face was full of smiles, and including Gu Wenqi, they all felt that he was showing favor and admired Sanshengshi very much. Only Sanshengshi didn't feel good in his heart, the damn Chen Baxian looked high, as if he was encouraging the backwards, it was an honor for NPCs, but with his entanglement with Chen Baxian, it was a great humiliation.
Sanshengshi hated itchy, but he was helpless against Chen Hao, so he had to smile reluctantly: "Thank you for your encouragement!" ”
After Chen Hao showed favor again, Gu Wenqi had completely eliminated his vigilance, thinking that he had compromised. He came to Chen Hao's side and said with a smile: "Lord Tongzhi, this camp gate is not suitable for military discussions, why don't you go to the camp first?" ”
Chen Hao nodded and said: "Yingmen is indeed not suitable for military discussions, today is the first day that this official has come to Yingkou, and I still need more support from my colleagues in the future, why don't you invite you to the town for a few drinks?" ”
Gu Wenqi was so proud in his heart! This Tongzhi has a really good temper, and he takes the initiative to invite everyone to dinner without saying anything, and he looks very considerate of his subordinates. Gu Wenqi and several thousands of households wanted to vacate the new Tongzhi because they had received the favor of Ortai, and another reason was that they were greedy for a lot of military salaries, if this Tongzhi Lord knew and was interested, it would be nothing if he didn't go against him.
Gu Wenqi relaxed his vigilance, and he hurriedly said: "Your Excellency's new official has taken office, and since you are the brothers, you can take the wind for your lord, how can you let your adult break the bank?" I'm going to have my brothers stationed elsewhere inform them and tell them to come over at once. ”
Sanshengshi glanced at Chen Hao vigilantly, it was not the first day of the game between him and Chen Hao, and he knew that Chen Hao was not the kind of person who was weak and could be bullied. At this moment, Chen Hao's performance reminded Sanshengshi of the word "hidden knife in laughter", and he had an ominous premonition in his heart, so he whispered to Gu Wenqi: "Lord Qianhu, Chen Ba took the initiative to show favor first, could it be some conspiracy?" ”
In the past, Sanshengshi's plan was very accurate, and Gu Wenqi obeyed him, but this time, Sanshengshi's calculations failed several times, and Gu Wenqi began to doubt his words. Now Gu Qianhu has decided that the new Tongzhi is a soft persimmon, and the worries of these days have also been thrown out of the clouds, and when he heard Sanshengshi say that Lord Tongzhi has a conspiracy, Gu Qianhu said with a displeased face: "Sanshengshi Baihu You think too much, the adults kindly invite us to drink, if you want to go, you will go with you, forget if you don't go, how can you be suspicious." ”
Chen Hao saw Sanshengshi muttering to Gu Wenqi, he was very sympathetic to his subordinates and said: "Sanshengshi Baihu can not go if he is sick, how about I ask another day?" ”
Sanshengshi didn't want to go, but he was sure that Chen Ba had a conspiracy first, and if he didn't go, an idiot like Gu Wenqi would definitely not be an opponent. If Chen Ba had subdued these thousands of households first, his recent efforts would have come to naught, and all his investment in Yingkou would have been wasted.
Sanshengshi will definitely not admit defeat easily, so he stubbornly said: "The first day that Lord Tongzhi took office, the lower officials did not dare to be absent, and they should be the adults to pick up the wind." ”
"Hahahaha!"
Chen Hao laughed loudly; "Sansheng Shi Baihu is a wonderful person, he is ill during the military discussion, and he can bring illness to the table when he drinks wine and eats meat. This official has always been sympathetic to his subordinates, if the 100 households in Sanshengshi are in need, I will send someone to subsidize some rice, grain, fish and meat. ”
Sanshengshi had to throw money in the Jianrui camp, and everyone else knew that he had money and did not lack that little money and food. However, Lord Tongzhi's further overtures made them extremely happy, and some people who were not the confidants of the previous Qianhu even felt that it was not bad to support the new Tongzhi, maybe they could live a little more nourishing under this good old man.
Gu Wenqi is Ortai's confidant, he doesn't have such thoughts, but he is very satisfied with the attitude of Lord Tongzhi, and said with a smile on his face: "Lord Tongzhi has compassion for his subordinates, which really makes us admire. ”
After Gu Wenqi finished speaking, he looked at Sanshengshi and asked him to thank Chen Hao, but Sanshengshi had no choice but to give his hand and say: "Thank you, adult!" ”
Chen Hao took Wu Peifu and Yang Du to the front, and led a group of generals to the largest tavern in Dongchang Fort. Seeing that Master Tongzhi only brought two guards, Gu Qianhu was embarrassed to mobilize the people, so he simply did not bring the guards and followed closely behind.
Sanshengshi wanted to persuade Gu Wenqi to bring some more soldiers and horses, but he knew that Gu Wenqi would definitely not take his suggestion now. So he motioned for one of his soldiers to go and deliver the letter, and asked his henchmen to wait outside the tavern, and immediately started if he found that the situation was wrong.
When he came to the only tavern in Dongchangbao, Chen Hao had no official shelf at all, and greeted his subordinates one by one diligently. The smile on Gu Qianhu's face became thicker and thicker, and he suddenly had a thought, this new Tongzhi Chen Baxian is young in the end, and he is a good old man, and he may be more comfortable if he is a Tongzhi.
Gu Wenqi was taken aback by this thought, he was able to sit in the position of thousands of households thanks to Ortai, and it was too ungrateful to have such a thought now. After a while, thousands of other battalions and hundreds of households also came to the tavern, and Chen Hao seemed to be incarnated as a Maitreya Buddha, greeting each military general with a smile on his face, and welcoming them in one by one.
Sanshengshi was preoccupied, and he went downstairs from time to time to ask his subordinates if there was any movement on the street, but his subordinates reported that there was no disturbance. He was full of suspicions, Chen Ba first spent money to invite so many NPCs to dinner, what kind of calculation did he make?
Chen Hao picked up his wine glass and signaled to the officials; "This official has just arrived, and I hope you will support a lot, and I would like to give you a drink."
"Don't dare, don't dare! Your Excellency is so polite. ”
A cadre of officials said that they didn't dare, but they sat one by one. Although they are quite satisfied with the good temper of the new Qianhu, they are now either overwhelmed by Tongzhi or they are overwhelmed by Tongzhi. At this time, Lord Tongzhi took the initiative to soften, of course they would not consciously regard themselves as subordinates, so first put on a posture and pinch Tongzhi to see if he was really soft.
Chen Hao didn't have the slightest anger, he smiled after drinking a full glass; "It's rare for all colleagues to gather today, we don't get drunk and don't go home, and no one is allowed to leave halfway."
"Okay."
A cadre of generals who were determined to applaud loudly, only Sanshengshi was restless. Chen Ba made it clear that he wouldn't let him go downstairs, which made him sure that he must be tired, but even if he knew that this was the case, he didn't dare to leave. If he stood up, I believe that Chen Baxian would definitely shout that he would not give him face, and those NPC generals would also stand by him.
On the street downstairs, the players under Sanshengshi gathered in groups of three or five, and they were waiting for Sanshengshi to summon. Sanshengshi didn't go downstairs for a long time, and Wang Yu didn't know what was going on upstairs, so he could only pay attention to whether there was anything abnormal according to Sanshengshi's instructions.
There was a sound of horses' hooves from far and near, and Wang Yu looked up and saw hundreds of horses galloping. The cavalry team of more than 200 people were all NPCs, and the big men on the horses looked extremely fierce, and they quickly entered Dongchang Fort with brand-new water bead rifles.
He rode his horse first, strode in front of Wang Yu and the others, and said: "I am ordered to block the streets, and all those who have nothing to do will leave, otherwise there will be no mercy." ”
Wang Yu laughed dryly and said; "My lord, we are also ordered to be here, and I hope that my lord will ......" "Give me another rambling and I will kill you."
The leading big man took out a shell gun and aimed it at Wang Yu's head, and the other big men also opened the insurance one after another and aimed at the people outside the tavern. Those irrelevant NPCs had already been frightened when they saw these fierce and vicious men, and they chose to leave one after another, and more than a hundred of Sanshengshi's subordinates stood out.
Wang Yu knew very well that he couldn't hard-top in the face of this situation, but he had to notify Sanshengshi that there was an accident, so he deliberately said loudly: "I am familiar with all the adults in Dongchangbao, but I feel that the adults are very raw, and they brought hundreds of people ......."
"Bang."
Wang Yu didn't finish speaking, pulled out a gun and aimed it at his NPC and pulled the trigger, Du Lisan is not a good-tempered person, Wang Yu is not interested in playing tricks in front of him, can he tolerate it? After Du Lisan fired, a group of horse bandits under him also aimed and fired, and Sanshengshi's subordinates were the opponents of these fierce horse bandits, and players were constantly shot.
The sudden gunfire startled the generals upstairs, and they all stood at the window and looked down, only to see more than 200 fierce men shooting strangers. Gu Wenqi said with a solemn face; "Look at the methods of these big men downstairs, it should be a beard."
The generals did not bring a few guards to the banquet, and the Dongchangbao barracks were two kilometers away, so I was afraid that I would not know that there was a beard attack. Just when they were worried, they only heard Lord Tongzhi say with a smile on his face: "Colleagues, don't be afraid, downstairs is my volunteer battalion, not horse bandits." ”
The generals had a good impression of Lord Tongzhi, and they were all relieved to hear that it was his subordinates, but soon their faces turned pale. Lord Tongzhi feasted all the generals here but brought more than 200 fierce men, obviously the people who came were not good, and the result was even more terrible than the attack of the horse bandits.
