Chapter 107: White Wolf with Empty Gloves
As soon as the guards at the gate of Yin Zongtang's troops heard that the gambling game was open, and the odds were so high, they couldn't help but run over one by one and surrounded Gong Changyu.
"Hey, are you the young owner of Maosheng Xiang Qian Village?" A soldier asked.
"Almost." Gong Chang was secretly happy when he met that someone had taken the bait.
"But we haven't heard that Jiangzuo County has the silver number of Maosheng Xiangqian Village." Soldier A laughed.
"Little brother, yesterday Mao Sheng Xiang Qian Zhuang opened a new silver account in Lao Cai Town, so you don't know, it's not surprising, it's not surprising." Gong Changyu smiled.
"How do you want us to trust you?" Another soldier asked.
"I have 10,000 taels of silver tickets, Mao Shengxiang Zhuang." Gong Changyu took out a thick stack of silver tickets and threw them again and again in front of those soldiers.
"Maosheng Xiang Qian Zhuang is very famous in Jingnan County, and there are millions of taels of silver in and out of it a year, and it is a trustworthy silver number." Soldier B said.
"Brother, listen to your accent, it's from Baocheng Mansion, right?" Gong Changyu looked up at Soldier B.
"That's right, I'm from Suining County, Baocheng Prefecture." Soldier B nodded, "Are you?" ”
"I, from the four capitals of Rulin County, my name is Gong Jichang, the continuation of the succession, and the Chang of the one who follows me." Gong Changyu introduced himself, "Maosheng Xiang Qian Zhuang has a history of forty or fifty years, and Lao Tzu is numbered. The current owner is Zhu Qimu, that is, my uncle. ”
"Gong Jichang, then you don't have a good business, why did you come to the old street to be a soldier?" Soldier B asked.
"Who says I'm not in business? Am I not here to gamble? Gong Changyu stood up and pressed his sword, "In the words of Westerners, this gambling game is called gambling, and it is the new business of our Maosheng Xiang Qian Zhuang. Warm reminder, the winner is on my right, the one who buys the loss is on the left, and the minimum bet is one or two, and there is no cap. ”
"Shao Dong, I will buy Shi Xian Dasheng." Soldier A took out two taels of silver and put them on Gong Changyu's right hand.
"I also buy Shi Xian Dasheng." Another soldier bet.
"Wait. I'm going to have to write down your names on this. Gong Changyu took out two thick small books from his arms, and found pen and ink in the cloth bag, "Suining fellow, you can help me write their names, okay?" ”
"Brother, I don't know much either." The soldier smiled and said, "Did you bring the general's seal?" ”
"I brought it, why didn't I think of it? Fellow. Gong Changyu grabbed the "Dusi" seal and ink from the cloth bag, and stamped the big seal on the book one by one.
"You're two-two." Gong Changyu drew two circles with a brush on the paper covered with a large seal and wrote a right character.
"You have a ...... or two" Gong Changyu tore off another piece of paper with the right word written on it and gave it to a soldier. No one noticed that Gong Changyu's brush was specially made, with three embroidery needles added to the refill, and after each right (left) write, he poked a large ink dot underneath.
"Brother, I'll be five taels, and I'll buy Shi Xianda."
"I'm six taels, buy to win."
"Okay. Great. ”
"I'll buy four taels, buy negative."
"Eight taels, buy to win."
"Okay. Great. ”……
Gong Chang was so busy that he accepted the silver and handed the soldiers yellow paper with seals, circles, and words. In less than a quarter of an hour, Gong Changyu had placed more than 3,000 taels of silver in front of him, and five or six hundred soldiers had placed bets, the highest bet was twenty taels. After the soldiers made their bets, one by one they went back to the camp.
Looking at the mountains of silver, Gong Changyu was dumbfounded for a while, so much, how can one person take it back? Fortunately, the Suining soldier has been guarding Gong Changyu's side, showing him the scene, and he is very "dedicated".
"Fellow, can you get me three or four bags?" Gong Changyu grabbed the hand of the Suining fellow and said.
"Brother, no problem." The fellow said.
He ran into the camp with a smoke, rummaged in the room for a while, and soon found four * bags and appeared in front of Gong Changyu, with some pot ash on his face: "Brother Gong, I didn't bet, can I place it now?" ”
"Absolutely." Gong Changyu replied while picking up the silver, "Brother, what's your name?" ”
Sun Yousheng ...... I only have three taels. The Suining fellow said embarrassedly, "But I don't know whether to win or lose." ”
"It's okay to buy it." Gong Changyu smiled, "Shi Xianda is strong on the outside, and he will definitely lose." ”
"But eighty percent of people are buying wins." Sun Yousheng said.
"In my opinion, if I am Shi Xianda, since I want to attack Baocheng Mansion, I should fight to the end, not break the city, and capture the governor of Jingnan County, Luo Bing and Yin Zongtang, and vow not to give up. Although Shi Xianda's army is a miscellaneous army, it has an absolute advantage in soldiers, as long as it is attacked, it will inevitably be able to break through the city before the reinforcements of the Jingnan Army rush to Baocheng Mansion, and then go straight to Jingbei and enter Luchuan, which will catch the Qinghe army off guard......" Gong Changyu said with spit flying.
"Brother, how did you command the Blue Wolf Army?" Sun Yousheng asked.
"Hey, listen to me. According to the battle report sent from the front, Shi Xianda personally led the army to surround the small Baocheng Mansion from the east, west, and south, and his right-hand men Zhang Suimou, Fu Zhongxin, and Lai Yuxin were closely united around him...... Gong thought that the best combat policy at this time was to forcibly attack the city with the whole army, rather than Shi Xianda's siege without fighting. Gong Changyu said with a smile, "Shi Xianda is smart and confused for a while. ”
"Brother, have you ever commanded a large-scale battle?" Sun Yousheng asked.
"Nope." Gong Changyu shook his head.
"That's it. I think you're just talking on paper, talking about it. Sun Yousheng wiped the sweat on his face, the sweat stuck to the ashes of the pot, and his face darkened, "But then again, those battle plans of yours may be right, why don't we go and meet Shi Xianda himself?" ”
"Sun Yousheng, you don't want to die." Gong Changyu whispered, "Brother, let me tell you, I went to Baocheng Mansion to rescue by holy order, how could I go to help our enemies?" ”
"You're a general? I couldn't see it, I thought it was a pig killer. Sun Yousheng said with a smile, he looked at the yellow paper that Gong Changyu gave him, and the seal on it was examined for a long time before he recognized the word "Si".
Sun Yousheng couldn't help but exclaim: "The words on this seal are like a book from heaven, why haven't I ever met?" ”
Gong Changyu took the yellow paper, pointed to the words on it and said one by one: "Gong Jichang, the capital of Lenghu Mountain, Xixu County, Anping County, ......"
"Wow, you're the Dusi, General Sipin. Little brother, I don't know Taishan with eyes. Sun Yousheng immediately admired Gong Changyu.
"Brother Sun, how many years have you been in the army?"
"I have been in the army for 28 years in the Dao calendar, and it has been six years until today."
"What military position?"
"The little commander, the captain of the infantry team, was only promoted yesterday."
"Hey, pretty much. At the very least, I started as a general manager, and I have been in this position for three or four years. I was irritable to death, and I was a farmer and foreman in Lenghu Mountain. ”
"Brother, how many troops are you leading now?"
"Not much. There were only about 400 people in his original team, plus more than 900 people from the Blue Wolf Army who surrendered, a total of a little more than 1,000. Gong Changyu stood up and tied the sacks one by one.
"Wow, you still captured so many blue wolf troops, amazing, amazing." Sun Yousheng gave a thumbs up and was amazed.
"Okay, no more bragging with you. I've got to go back to the inn. Gong Changyu was holding a bag of silver in one hand, and wanted to put it on the horse's back, but he couldn't put it down, and when he exerted his strength, he felt that the wound on his back was torn again, so he had to say, "Brother Yousheng, put the handle." ”
"No problem." Sun Yousheng grabbed the sacks, lifted them up with Gong Changyu, and put them on horseback.
"Brother, you have to leave quickly, General Yin Zongtang is back, knowing that we are participating in gambling here, and all this silver will be confiscated." Sun Yousheng urged.
"Where did General Yin Zongtang go?" Gong Changyu asked.
"He went to the academy in the east to meet with Prince Fu Zheng and Governor Jiang Changyi to discuss how to send troops to Jingnan County." Sun Yousheng replied, "It is estimated that he will return to the camp within half a pillar of incense." ”
"Oh, then I'll go first." Gong Changyu packed up his things, tied them one by one, put them back on the horse, and gently patted the jujube red horse, "There will be a period later." Take care. ”
"Brother, where will we meet next?"
"When fate arrives, we will meet naturally."
"That'...... If I bet on it, where do I ask you to go? ”
"Don't worry, there is a branch of Maosheng Xiang Qianzhuang in Baocheng Mansion, you just need to go there."
"What if they don't give it?"
"Impossible, when you see my three words Gong Jichang, the silver number will pay you compensation. Isn't it just fifteen taels of silver for you, plus the principal, it's only eighteen taels. ”
"Okay. There will be a period later. Sun Yousheng clenched his fists and said.
"Take care!" Gong Changyu led the horse and slowly left Yin Zongtang's camp. Along the way, Gong Changyu sang a song in the Sidu dialect: the old man on the door, raise the two-faced clan, drill the cage upside down, and step on the Huagai clan...... Oh, oh.
He looked back at the four heavy bags of silver on the horseback, and was ecstatic: We have gathered so much silver at once, which is enough for us to use for ten days, hehe, Yin Zongtang's subordinates are too easy to deceive, and Shi Xian is victorious under eighty percent. I'll go, Shi Xianda is now a lost dog, if he wins this battle, he won't believe it if he cuts off my head. It seems that I am sure I will not lose money in this bet.
Unconsciously, Gong Changyu arrived at the door of Feng Jiao'er's inn, and before he entered the door, he shouted loudly: "Master, Jiufeng, you all come out, see what I got back?" ”
At this time, there was silence in the inn. Everyone rushed out and crowded at the door, looking at Gong Changyu with wide eyes one by one, there was no Feng Jiao'er and Jiufeng among these people.
