Liu Xingzhi looked at Gao Sheng and seemed to be really thinking about this issue.
Gao Sheng's expression remained unchanged and he met the other person's gaze without any fear. In fact, he had nothing to fear. Jiang Wan would never agree to such conditions, and neither would the court.
If the Liu Xingzhi in front of him was not a person who broke his promise, Gao Gaozhen estimated that by saying this, he was asking the other party to kill him.
"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore!"
Liu Xingzhi shook his head: "I have never been in the habit of thinking about other people's affairs. This is the condition. If Jiang Wan is not satisfied, then why not surrender or not? Come and beat me!"
Gao Xingsheng was stunned. He didn't expect that Liu Xingzhi, who looked like an old farmer, would actually show such a rogue appearance. How could he be talking about a big shot here? Or was he talking about something that mattered to the lives of tens of thousands of people? Is this obviously a hooliganism?
"I said I won't kill you unless I kill you. I don't know what you do at Jiang Wan's place. I guess you can't make the decision in this matter!"
Liu Xingzhi waved his hand very considerately: "Just bring the message to Jiang Wan. When will he agree to my conditions? We will talk again. Also, tell him that Pi Island may be short of food, but I will work hard."
The camp is not short of food, which made us anxious, so I directly dragged the Fenyong camp to the Tatar territory to grab food!"
Gao Sheng nodded silently and retreated silently.
When it got dark, he returned to Huwei Camp and reported to Jiang Wan almost verbatim the details of his meeting with Gao Xingsheng.
"My subordinates underestimated Liu Xingzhi. I'm afraid that in the past few months, his strength has expanded. Even though he killed Chen Jisheng out of righteous indignation, now he has gradually become ambitious. Commander, this person
Can’t stay any longer!”
"Ambition is something that doesn't just exist!" Jiang Wan shook his head. Liu Xingzhi's unwillingness to leave means that there must be a battle between him and Liu Xingzhi. Regardless of victory in this battle, all the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty will die, weakening the Ming Dynasty.
With the power of Pi Dao, this is a situation he has always tried to avoid.
"If he knows that the eight thousand people in the Fenyong camp are unruly, Marshal, you have to decide as soon as possible whether Pi Dao is surnamed Jiang or Liu. If you talk to him today, this person must be on guard, and he has already lost his hands.
Got a head start!"
"When did you move? Do you mean to get rid of him secretly?" Jiang Wan frowned: "You need to change the way you think about things. In the past, what you did in Ningyuan was not something straightforward among the army. This
This kind of assassination is possible if you take it by surprise, but if you still want to do it after taking precautions, it will be even harder than climbing to the sky!"
He shook his head: "To take the head of a general out of a million soldiers, that's what a novelist said. If we really send people to assassinate him, I can guarantee that we won't even be able to get close to the General Military Mansion. Moreover, once the matter is exposed,
Although the other party has rebelled now, he has not rebelled yet. If he knows that I want his life, then he will rebel even if he doesn't rebel!"
He pondered slightly and slowly walked around the room with his hands behind his back. After walking back and forth twice, he suddenly stood still.
"Kong Youde escorted you there. Did you say anything to him on the way back?"
"I don't believe this person!" Gao Sheng said frankly: "As soon as this person entered the General Military Mansion, his eyes flickered and he looked around. But on the way back, he didn't say a word. No matter what he saw or thought, he obviously didn't think about it.
Tell me, let alone report it to the commander-in-chief!"
Gao Xingsheng said: "This person's loyalty to the commander is open to question!"
"I don't care how loyal he is to me!" Jiang Wan shook his head: "I just want him to be loyal to Ming Dynasty. Go call him in and I'll ask him what he thinks!"
After a while, Kong Youde walked in. When he saw Jiang Wan was the only one in the room, Kong Youde let out a breath, looking somewhat relaxed.
"Why, are you a little regretful that you didn't see Mr. Gao?"
Jiang Wan smiled slightly: "Gao Xingsheng is quite appreciative of what you did today. He even said that if Pi Dao is grateful to a general like you, why should the imperial court not immediately win back the military's morale!"
"Mr. Gao is a nice person!" Kong Youde chuckled and said, "I feel a little uncomfortable around Mr. Gao. His eyes seem to be able to see through everything you think! Talk to him and get started.
, he will be able to guess later that when he is with such a person, all his heart and mind are not enough!"
Ha ha ha ha!
Jiang Wan laughed, and Kong Youde's half-truth and half-false complaints sounded like a good evaluation of Gao Sheng. She even used this complaint to close the distance between herself and him, making the next conversation between the two more even.
Get closer.
This guy is rough but fine, and he is not as careless as he appears to be.
Thinking of this, he was even more looking forward to what surprises Kong Youde would bring back to him this time when he went to the General Military Mansion.
"I heard from Gao Xingsheng that you seemed to have gained something from your visit to the General Military Mansion this time. Why, do you still need me to ask you? Isn't it convenient for you to report to me?"
Kong Youde's face suddenly hesitated: "I have made some discoveries, but I'm not sure, so I didn't report them to the commander-in-chief!"
"Tell me, is it a good thing?"
"I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing!" Kong Youde said, with a somewhat cautious look on his face: "While I was there, I vaguely heard some brothers from Fenyong Camp talking about something, saying that there was a village on the other side of Fenyong Camp.
It was fine the last time I went there, but this time everyone in the whole village died, and they were so scared that they burned the village down!"
"Did you find out what the cause was?" Jiang Wan's face became serious. Pi Island is an island. If the sea hadn't frozen in winter, it would have been basically disconnected from the land. The entire village on the island suddenly died.
If it was not caused by foreign enemies, then there must have been some unknown big change.
"I just don't know why the brothers in the Fenyong camp are talking about it!" Kong Youde said: "Some of them guessed it was haunted, and some guessed it was the plague. Forget about the haunted ones. None of us soldiers are afraid of ghosts.
If a ghost really comes and kills it with a knife, it is possible that it is a plague, but the whole village will die in three or two days, which is too fast and does not look like a plague!"
He thought for a while: "It is said that the whole village was dead. It has only been three days since they last went there. This time is too short!"
Jiang Wan also nodded, but he couldn't judge because it was just a rumor.
"Some people even said that pirates might have come ashore. Isn't that funny? Camp Fengyong's defense is like an iron barrel. Let alone pirates, even if a living creature comes over from them, they will be questioned ten or eight times. How is that possible?
A pirate?"
"Is there a possibility!" Jiang Wan frowned and said, "This matter was originally a play performed by Fenyongying himself, just for you to watch?"
"It's too tiring to act while chatting for free!" Kong Youde shook his head: "Besides, they don't know that I'm listening, so there's no chance of that!"
"If that's the case, this matter really deserves our attention!" Jiang Wan nodded: "Look for someone who knows you at Fenyong Camp to inquire about this matter. Just say that we are worried about pirates...
