Chapter 2073 Gui Zi Juan manipulates people’s hearts and uses any means
Feng Ziying leaned back in her chair with a calm expression, listening to the report of Heliande who had returned.
Heliande was still a little confused until he returned to the city.
He didn't understand how he could convince the other party, and under such harsh conditions, the other party actually accepted it. This made him hesitate, so he had to come back and explain his inner worries clearly. If it delayed the big event, , then he becomes a sinner.
Whether it is Li Guibao, Liu Dingfeng, or even Heliande, they increasingly regard the experience of following Feng Ziying as the most rare experience and training in their lives.
With their status, without Feng Ziying, they would never have been exposed to various situations like the ones they experienced this time.
The quarrels with officials in the officialdom, the negotiations and transactions with the gentry in the local area, and the battles with the rebels, these are enough for them to remember for a lifetime, and even to boast in front of their children and grandchildren.
Comparatively, the slashing and killing vindictiveness in the past was too childish. Now the things you do are the major events that often determine the lives and deaths of thousands of people.
"It's not surprising. According to the intelligence obtained from all parties, this person is a ruthless character with a great gambling habit, but also caution and perseverance, so I chose him."
Feng Ziying was very calm, "From the time he agreed to us sending people to guide and monitor their actions, he had already made a decision. If we use the saying that a person who understands current affairs is a hero to evaluate a person, this person can be regarded as a What a hero."
"Sir, I still feel that our conditions are too harsh, but Wang Chengwu still accepted it, which is incredible." Heliande swallowed his saliva and said: "I didn't even reveal your origin, and he didn't ask deeply. In the end, Before I left, there was already a commotion among them, and I was worried..."
"Don't worry, if Wang Chengwu can't even convince and control his subordinates, he won't be worthy of accepting our terms. He went from Qingjian to Yanchuan, and then back to Qingjian to run to Wu Fort, fighting after repeated defeats. , you can’t do it without some skills, don’t worry about that.” Feng Ziying was very sure: “After hearing your introduction, I really became interested in this person. I hope he can be as I expected, maybe You can give him a blessing in the future."
As expected by Feng Ziying, although a quarrel broke out within Tiaojianhu as soon as Heliande left, for Wang Chengwu, whoever blocks his path to prosperity will be his life and death enemy, even if he is a brother No, but he is more willing to persuade these brothers to seek this fortune with him.
"Brothers, what are we doing in Wubao from Qingcaowu? What does Wubao have? We have food and money. We are here to fill our stomachs, but even to fill our stomachs, we have to sacrifice half of our brothers' lives... "
Wang Chengwu's eyes were filled with fighting spirit. He looked around, and several old brothers who had been following him around were silent.
He was right. With the defensive posture of Wubao County, the group of people under his command had neither siege equipment nor weapons and armor to capture the county. What was slightly better was that he still had hundreds of original Qingjian people under his command. Minzhuang in the county has experienced some military training, which is his greatest confidence.
But if you want to use this to capture Wubao City with this stubborn attitude, you can't say that you will lose half of the people, but it is very possible to lose 30% of your lives.
Wang Chengwu knew very well that he could not expect to wave the flag in the sky. If he wanted to capture Wubao City and get a piece of the pie, there was no such thing as sitting back and enjoying the gains. If he wanted to gain something, he had to pay for it.
The attitude of Yaotianqi is very clear, which is why he has never agreed to Yaotianqi's conditions. He is just this fundamental, and he will lose half of it all at once. He needs to evaluate and weigh it.
"But now there is a better and more attractive opportunity in front of us. I know my brothers will think that I am obsessed with money and officialdom? I don't even know who they are, and they don't even give us any benefits. An empty promise with no real benefits, having to accept guidance and supervision from others, go on a desperate bid, and even have to bear the reputation of treachery and a reputation that is despised by the world to do such a backstabbing thing. Am I burning out? head?"
That’s right, this is the unanimous view of everyone here.
However, I didn’t expect that the boss seemed to have been drunk with ecstasy, and he was obsessed with taking this chance.
If it weren't for the trust and prestige accumulated in the past for the master, everyone here would really revolt.
Wang Chengwu can understand the mentality of these people, and even his own brother Wang Chenghu has difficulty accepting it, let alone other people.
"I actually understand what everyone is thinking. They just feel that the government is unreliable and untrustworthy, especially this sneaky, hidden, so-called Lord Dragon Guard. The master is usually so shrewd, how could he believe this? A pot of ecstasy soup?" Wang Chengwu simply sat back in his big chair, looking particularly relaxed.
"Then have you ever thought about what our next goal is?" Wang Chengwu asked again: "Even if we don't accept the government's recruitment, together with Wailing the Sky Flag and the Digging Tiger, they will capture Wubao City, and we will lose food and money." In terms of silver allocation, we can't compete with Shaking the Sky Flag. We can only take a small share in the allocation. Moreover, the Digging Tigers are obviously going to support the Shaking Sky Flag. The Shaking Sky Flag also needs the help of the local snakes like the Digging Tigers. We are bound to We will be ostracized unless we are also willing to be vassals of the waving flag in the sky, or even serve as their pawns..."
The meaning of "vanguard" is that you may have to bear the brunt of any war in the future and suffer the greatest losses. This is a normal situation.
This is what everyone cannot accept the most, and it is also what they are most confused about now.
"Let's not talk about whether Wu Fort can be captured by waving the flag in the sky. What if he can capture Wu Fort? Do you think he can achieve it? Maybe, to what extent can he achieve it? Seize the mountain and become the king, divide the territory and divide the territory? Is it possible? In the end It is not necessary to rely on the government to recruit people, but it may be powerful enough at that time, and the conditions for recruiting people will be better. However, what does this have to do with us, and how much benefit can we get from it? Is it possible that Feng Wu Yinzi will wave the flag in the sky? Prioritize our group of people who came from Qingjian? Are we still there at that time? I'm afraid we have become the bones and dust for them to step on."
Wang Chengwu's words touched the hearts of everyone present. If they started the rebellion just to make a living, they even had some unrealistic illusions. However, after experiencing the defeat in Yanchuan Incident, they After they failed to annex another rebel army in Qingjian and had to come to Wubao to look for opportunities, they had become a lot more realistic.
Maybe they never thought that they could overthrow the Zhou Dynasty just by relying on them. They just followed the trend and rested wherever they went. But when Wang Chengwu proposed the idea of recruiting people, it was like a spark falling. Entering the haystack, these people's minds were suddenly aflame with uncontrollable burning.
Who doesn’t want to be a farmer in the morning and ascend to the Emperor’s Hall in the evening? In addition to reading can change one's destiny, it seems that the only way to change one's own destiny is through military exploits.
You have to fight with your head high to achieve military success, but the reality is that no one will give you a chance even if you fight with your head high. But now this has opened a crack, allowing that ray of light to shine through, and giving everyone a hope. .
"People like us are just the sons of the Tian family. Our ancestors have been digging in the soil with our faces facing the loess and our backs to the sky. Now God has made it impossible for us to dig in the soil, so we have embarked on this road. Who doesn't know Is this the road of no return? In fact, we all know that 99% of the endings are that in the constant battle, they will eventually turn into a corpse and bones, fall into the dust, and will even be forgotten soon. This world is like There are too many people like us, everywhere,..."
The corners of Wang Chengwu's mouth were a bit unruly, desperate, and a bit unwilling, which vividly brought this emotion into everyone's hearts.
“If that’s the case, why should we ask these noble people to give us such generous terms and make so many beautiful promises to you? Do you think we, a group of people, are very important and indispensable in their minds?”
Wang Chengwu cruelly tore apart this reality: "No, the underground tigers, the sky-waving flags, Suide's, Mizhi's, Anding's, Jiazhou's, and all kinds of rebels like us are all there. Struggling to survive..."
"Some people may also wonder, why did they choose us?" Wang Chengwu understood everyone's thoughts very well. He knew his brothers too well. "The other party did not reveal too much, but my analysis and judgment is that firstly, Wu Wubao County is very important. This group of Longjing Lieutenants should have come from Shanxi. They are worried that the fall of Wubao County will endanger Qikou Ferry in Shanxi and interrupt this trade route..."
"The second is that the asking price of Waotian Banner is too high, which offended the noble man, so the other party chose us. Of course, the condition is that we have to deal with the people of Waotian Flag, and are even willing to let us take over the people under Yaotian Flag. ,…”
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone present immediately became agitated.
The boss didn’t say this before, but this is so important. As a grass-headed king in troubled times, you need someone to make people take you seriously. If you don’t have people, you are nothing. If you can take over a group of people who are shaking the sky flag, that is simply... Swallow a piece of fat.
Of course, Wang Chengwu would not throw out this condition as soon as he opened his mouth. He had to completely defeat these people's will first, and then give such a sweet thing, so that these people could be willing and smooth.
