Compared with the fiery personality of the right god general, the left god general is much more self-restrained.
When he saw Dou Mu Xie who came to borrow food, he even had a gentle smile on his face. He didn't wear a mask like the right god general. He was fifty years old and dressed in coarse cloth. With his clothes, if he were not sitting in the main seat, he would look like a poor scholar at first glance.
The right god general has a fierce aura all over his body, while the left god general looks very gentle, at least there is no fierceness in his face.
Huqiu County Government has become the temporary residence of General Zuo Shen. Three of his four star generals, including Yuwen Chengchao, who was given the name Jing Muyan, have gathered in Huqiu, and five thousand rebels are stationed in Huqiu. Inside and outside Qiu City, we are ready to fight.
But at this moment, he had to lower his head and could only bite the bullet and said: "The general did not know something, and the officers and soldiers were cunning. They actually sent people to lurk into the camp and burned down the granary. Our army is now in great momentum. We originally had food and grass." If there are enough, Shuning City will definitely be broken within three days, but in this case...!" He cupped his hands and said: "General Right God will ask his subordinates to temporarily borrow a thousand stones of food from you. After the city is broken, I will definitely repay him twice as much, and I also ask General Zuo Shen to provide food support for the sake of being a member of the Queen Mother."
The Left God General looked around and asked the calm Yuwen Chengchao: "Jing Muyan, Huqiu City is your territory, and the food here is all yours. Now the Right God is going to borrow food, what do you think?" How about next?"
"Borrow food?" General Zuo Shen heard Doumu Xie's request and said with a smile: "As far as I know, after the incident, General Right did not restrain his subordinates and indulged in looting. Some people even ran to my territory. You have been plundered and your food and grass are piled up like mountains, how can you be short of food?"
Doumu Xie sneered in his heart. It is impossible for General Zuo Shen not to know about the fighting situation in Shuning. General Zuo Shen must have known about such a big event like the burning of the granary. At this moment, he pretended to know nothing. He was obviously watching a joke. .
Doumu Xie hurriedly said: "General God, we have sent fast cavalry to Suzhou City to ask for food from Suzhou City. If nothing happens, food and grass will be delivered there in three days. The difficulty of General Right God , that is, these three days, if you survive these three days, the difficulties will be solved."
"Double return?" Yu Wencheng sneered at the black-bearded man with a red cloth on his head: "I heard that She Yue has been on the run in your territory after escaping from Suzhou. Not only did you not discover it, you even It was extremely incompetent to let her enter Shuning City unharmed. Gui Jinyang was ambushed in the city, and Kui Mulang was captured single-handedly in the military formation. Hey, what kind of idiots are there under the command of General You Shen? Can you capture Shuning City with just you?"
"Every brick, tile, grass and tree in Huqiu City belongs to the divine general." Yu Wen Chengchao was extremely respectful: "How to allocate the food in the city is all decided by the divine general."
General Zuo Shen smiled and said: "You guy, throw this problem back to me." After a moment of silence, he finally said: "I saw that there were many people in the city, and soldiers and horses from all walks of life had already gathered towards Huqiu City. , In two days time, the number of soldiers and horses gathered in Huqiu City may be tens of thousands, and these are all people who need to eat. Once the food supply is not available, big trouble will happen."
This means refusing to borrow food.
Of course Doumu Xie knew what would happen if he couldn't borrow the food.
Doumu Xie's face darkened, but General Zuo Shen raised his hand to stop him and said with a smile: "Bi Yuewu, we are all friendly troops. There is no need to taunt others, but to convince others with virtue." Then he said to Doumu Xie: "Go back.
Tell You Shen General, it’s not that I don’t want to borrow food. There is not much food and grass in Huqiu City. I not only have to ensure that my soldiers and horses have food to eat, but also comfort the refugees who have fled to the city. Speaking of which, these refugees are still because of
You indulged in looting and fled to the city. You don't care about the people's support, but I can't care less. Now there are more than 40,000 soldiers and civilians inside and outside Huqiu City, but there is a shortage of food and grass. I am still waiting for Suzhou City to send food.
In response to the request of the Right Divine General, I am unable to do anything about it.
foot."
Before he finished speaking, Bi Yuewu shouted angrily: "Bold, Doumu Xie, what do you mean by this? Are you saying that our god-general doesn't care about the overall situation?"
Doumu Xie felt a chill in his heart and said hurriedly: "This is absolutely not what I mean...!"
The rebel troops that General You Shen finally gathered together are likely to collapse in an instant. Not only will they not be able to capture Shuning City, but General You Shen's many years of hard work will be ruined in one day.
"General, if you don't have one thousand stones, five hundred stones will do." Doumu Xie made a last effort: "If General God helps us get through this difficulty this time, General Right will definitely be grateful. She Yue is in Shuning
As long as there is food in the city, we can definitely break through the city and capture Musk Moon alive. The God General knows that Musk Moon plays an irreplaceable role in our uprising. If we cannot capture Musk Moon alive, all the hard work we have spent so many years will be in vain."
He bowed his hands and said: "Please God, please put the overall situation first...!"
The general on the left sighed: "Doumu Xie, just follow what I said just now and reply to the general on the right. I can't do anything."
Doumu Xie had actually thought of this outcome for a long time. The two divine generals had always been incompatible with each other. Over the years, the Queen Mother Society had secretly developed in Jiangnan. The two divine generals were fighting overtly and covertly. The core members of the Queen Mother Society knew everything about it.
Now that the right god will encounter a hurdle that he cannot overcome, the left god will naturally not be able to provide help in times of trouble, but will only add insult to injury.
"If the overall situation was really important, you would not allow your subordinates to plunder our territory." Bi Yuewu obviously had a hot temper: "You killed people and looted our territory. At that time, did you regard us as a general? Now?
When you encounter difficulties, you come to ask our general again, hehe, you are not thin-skinned."
Except for Yuwen Chengchao who remained silent, everyone else present also reprimanded him.
Before General Netherworld could issue an order, Yu Wen Chengchao, who had been silent, finally came out and raised his hands and said: "General God, although Doumu Xie's words are inappropriate, he is still a member of the Queen Mother Association after all. Seeing that we are all friendly forces, please calm down your anger, General God.
.”
General Zuo Shen thought for a moment and sneered: "If Jing Muyan hadn't interceded for you, I would have severely punished you today." He waved his hand and said, "Get out of here!"
"General God, if General Netherworld knows about this and blames him, will God General think about the consequences?" Doumu Xie knew that saying this would definitely anger the people present, but this was the only way to make General Zuo Shenqi feel afraid.
to change one's mind.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Zuo Shenjiang's face suddenly changed, and he sneered: "Are you bringing General Netherworld out to scare me?" He clenched a fist and said angrily: "Here comes...
.!”
"Of all the people in the hall, only Brother Jing Mu'an can understand the general outline." Doumu Xie said with a bitter smile: "I'm not worried about not being able to borrow food and going back and being punished. It's just that once the food supply is replenished, the troops and horses besieging Shuning City will inevitably collapse without a fight.
The people in Kyoto must have received the news a long time ago and will definitely dispatch troops and generals. If we capture Sheyue before the reinforcements arrive in Jiangnan, then the situation in Jiangnan will still be under our control. But if the reinforcements arrive,
When we arrive, She Yue is still holding on to Shuning City. If that happens, all our hard work over the years will be in vain."
Yu Wen Chengchao also gave a wry smile and said: "What you say makes sense. Time waits for no one. If actions are delayed due to internal misunderstandings and dissatisfaction, the only one who will be unlucky in the end is the Queen Mother Association. Dou Mu Xie, the battle situation on your side is actually...
We already know it here, and we heard that the fighting was very brutal."
Yu Wen Chengchao cupped his hands and said, "Send him out." He turned around and winked at Doumu Xie, but Doumu Xie also understood the situation, raised his hands to Zuo Shenjiang, and bent down to retreat.
Yuwen Chengchao sent Doumuxie out of the yamen and sighed: "The discord between the two divine generals is too deep, I'm afraid that important events will be missed."
Doumu Yan paused for a moment, looked at Yu Wen Chengchao, hesitated, and finally whispered: "You and I are both brothers in the society. Although we have never met before, I have already known your reputation."
I know. I heard that brother you are brave and kind, and when I saw you today, it turned out to be true."
"It's all brothers who praise me, it's too much."
"There were many casualties, but after all, it was just a county town. If we really attacked continuously, the defenders would not be able to hold out for a few days." Doumu Xie was quite confident: "It was our own negligence that we failed to defend the granary and were attacked by officers and soldiers. Otherwise, we would have been attacked by officers and soldiers.
This situation will not happen.”
"You are right." Yu Wen Chengchao nodded with sympathy on his face. As he walked forward, he lowered his voice and said: "To be honest, although there is not much food in Huqiu City, we need to lend a thousand dan.
Food is actually not a big deal. If there had not been a misunderstanding between the two generals, I could prepare the food and leave it to you to take back now."
"If you can do this, I'm really grateful." Doumuxie saw that Yuwen Chengchao didn't refuse and helped Yuwen Chengchao, showing his gratitude.
"You go to a place and wait there." Yuwen Chengchao leaned closer and whispered: "I will try my best to persuade the general. No matter whether it succeeds or not, I will go over and give you an answer later." He then leaned in and whispered a few words in his ear.
, Doumuxie nodded repeatedly, cupped his hands and said, "Then I'll just wait for the good news!" He walked out the door and hurried away.
"Jing Mu'an, it's related to the overall situation. I wonder... I wonder if you can help persuade the left god general?" Doumu Xie whispered: "If you can persuade the left god general to lend food, the right god general will definitely be grateful, and also
I owe you a big favor, and with the character of the right divine general, I owe you a favor, and I will definitely repay you in the future."
Yuwen Chengchao thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "I don't want to repay you, I just don't want to see the good situation ruined because of ourselves. I can give it a try with General Zuo Shen, but he is angry now, waiting for him
Take it easy, I'll try again."
Zuo Shenjiang smiled and said: "You all should learn from Jing Mu'an. This is the person who can do great things. Jing Mu'an, did he say anything when he went out?"
"It's not to give face to him, or to General You Shen, but to give face to General Netherworld." Yuwen Chengchao smiled and said, "We definitely can't borrow food, but we still have to work hard to save face. God will use virtue to
To convince people, there is no need to be familiar with them."
When Yu Wen Chengchao returned to the hall, several people were cursing You Shen General for his extreme incompetence. Seeing Yu Wen Chengchao return, Bi Yuewu said in a deep voice: "Jing Muyan, why do you have to send him out in face? Such a person.
Don’t pay any attention to it.”
"Although he didn't dare to criticize the general directly in front of me, he did look very angry." Yuwen Cheng said: "The right general sent him to borrow food, but he returned without success. He may even have lost his head.
He was about to be chopped down, so he was frightened and angry, saying that we were unjust, and I tried to persuade him, but he didn't dare to say anything more."
"The right god will be murderous. With his temper, if Dou Mu Xie returns empty-handed, he may really have his head chopped off." Bi Yuewu said with a smile: "This is very good. Cutting off his limbs will not do any harm to us.
He stood up and cupped his hands and said, "General God, my subordinates will go to inspect the camp first."
Several others also retreated, and at the end only Yuwen Chengchao and Zuo Shenjiang were left in the hall. Zuo Shenjiang touched his nose thoughtfully, and then asked after a moment: "Jing Muyan, if they really
Go to Netherworld and file a complaint, and Netherworld will punish you, what should I do?"
