Everything about eunuchs comes from grace.
When he cut off his dignity and entered the palace, he had to learn to observe words and expressions.
As a eunuch who serves the emperor day and night, Wang Kun considers himself to be one of the best at observing words and emotions. But he really couldn't see through Huang Yi.
What kind of price should be given to impress the Xinghe Army general?
beauty? treasure?
Thoughts flashed through my mind, but they couldn't leave any trace.
Wang Kun had experienced the atmosphere of the military camp in Xinghe Army, and had heard and witnessed Huang Yi's living habits.
I feel that Huang Yi is definitely not a person who is greedy for pleasure.
So, maybe he wants more military pay? More military supplies?
Huang Yi seems to be a greedy person.
Otherwise, why would Wang Kun, Diao Dianbao, and Diao Debao offend the government and the public and fight to the death to collect the 100,000 military pay?
Wang Kun, who thought of this, did not realize how basic and legitimate the request for adequate military pay was.
But it's not like that. Huang Yi's greed for money is completely different from the kind of money Wang Kun has seen.
He is greedy for money just to gain control. The thing he covets most... may be difficult for people like him to give him.
Wang Kun's mind was spinning rapidly and his face remained calm.
He couldn't let others see that he was helpless against Huang Yi, but since he believed that Huang Yi had a plot, he had to strike it in advance.
"My Lord Governor, the Xinghe Army is here to relieve the siege of Laizhou City. Instead of rushing to urge General Huang Yi to launch a general offensive, your Majesty, you should first consider how to face His Majesty's accountability."
'boom! Rumble~'
As Wang Kun finished speaking, the blast of gunfire outside the city seemed to be more harsh than before.
Liu Yulie may be a little timid, but he is not stupid. Sun Yuanhua's warning was clearly there, how could he not know what he was going to face.
"It is true that I failed to lead the troops to defeat the enemy, so I am thinking about it. I only hope to wipe out this group of rebellious officials and traitors as soon as possible before I can go to the capital to meet His Majesty."
"Haha~" Wang Kunpi snorted with a smile, "This group of rebels is very capable and cunning, and the governor should know it best. If you launch a general attack one day early, you will have to bear more damage."
After so many years in officialdom, now that Wang Kun has shown himself like this, Liu Yulie can certainly see that he is asking for benefits.
However, Liu Yulie did not simply want to urge the Xinghe Army to fight to the death with the rebels.
The head coach of the Xinghe Army did not like him as the governor at all, and he did not take any credit for the victory. After everything is over, God knows whether the cold-hearted Emperor Chongzhen will accuse himself.
It's not a big deal to take off this black gauze hat. If the emperor doesn't like me, his head will be in danger.
"My father-in-law didn't know that before the Xinghe Army arrived in Laizhou City, the governor had been negotiating with the rebels. Yuan Chonghuan defrauded Mao Wenlong's head and forced the generals in Dongjiang Town to betray the court. But now Yuan Chonghuan has surrendered to the law. , these old Dongjiang Town troops still have some thoughts of serving the imperial court again."
Since the two armies were at a stalemate, and since the Xinghe Army cherished their feathers and refused to attack by force, then the boy named Huang Yi probably wanted to wear out the rebels until they retreated.
After listening to the non-stop bombardment for many days, I got used to it.
The courage that had run out earlier came back a bit.
Liu Yulie felt in his heart that something could be done here. If done well, the credit for recruiting an army would be enough to offset his guilt.
"Oh~ there is such a thing?"
"It's true. It must be because the old troops in Dongjiang Town didn't want any more casualties. That's why they retreated. Father-in-law, you see, after many days of shelling, the Xinghe Army didn't suffer a lot of casualties...
Presumably the rebels did not intend to kill them all, and there was still room for negotiation. "
When I mention this, it seems that the rebels deliberately fired some harmless artillery, and it has nothing to do with the anti-artillery fortifications built by the Xinghe Army.
Liu Yulie deliberately talked about the achievements of the Xinghe Army in a light way, so that Wang Kun knew that he did not have any bargaining chips. Don't open your mouth too wide if you want to rip off someone.
"Hmph! Did you have a good time talking with the rebels? Don't talk nonsense here. Kong Youde, Li Jiucheng and others have already committed heinous crimes, and they still want to return to the court?
Can you, a governor who is surrounded by artillery in the city and dare not raise his head, recruit the aggressive rebels outside the city?
Liu Yulie, Liu Yulie, think carefully about what you are saying. "
Yes, there are some outrageous things to say, but these guys actually did it in history. Silly Huhu was tricked into being a prisoner.
However, although Wang Kun said this, the meaning behind his words was to tell Liu Yulie not to be sneaky and sneaky, and to prepare the benefits that should be prepared.
"I don't say anything false. The letter I sent to Kong Youde has always been brought to the palace for discussion with all of you. Sirs, you can testify with me. Even in front of His Majesty, I am frank and candid!
Now the recruitment seems to be coming to fruition. And then there is the Lord Supervisor who is the backbone...
Of course! The Xinghe Army traveled thousands of miles to come to I Laizhou to help out, and this governor will never forget this credit. As long as the father-in-law and the governor contact the rebels again, the governor is willing to open the gate of Laizhou City and let the soldiers of the Xinghe Army who have worked hard against the enemy enter the city to garrison! "
It should be said that Liu Yulie was born as a Jinshi and was full of good calculations.
With a few words, Wang Kun was brought on board. Once the recruitment was successful, he, the eunuch Wang, would have the first contribution.
As for the consequences of letting foreign soldiers enter the city, who doesn't know? Since ancient times, bandits have passed through like a comb, and soldiers have passed through like a sieve.
Could it be that the governor regarded the entire city of Laizhou as a gift, intending to give it to foreign troops to ravage at will.
It's just that he doesn't know what kind of army the Xinghe Army is. After all, people in this era really can't imagine...
There can be an army that does nothing against the people.
There will be an army that does not extort military pay.
As an army, they would lose money even if they trample a chicken to death. It is even less likely that they would do anything to rob civilian girls and humiliate their wives and children.
Shouldn’t the army be equipped with weapons even for disaster relief?
Let’s not talk about the light shining in Wang Kun’s eyes and what Huang Yi would think after hearing about the incident.
At this time, in the rebel camp, Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng were scratching their heads.
"Do you think the camp outside is fake?"
"How is it possible? You can see those soldiers digging trenches everywhere. They are as busy as local dogs."
"I have never heard of such a unit. It was a cannon! I saw with my own eyes that the cannonballs landed on the side of his head, and he was still able to dig dirt under that ditch."
Kong Youde looked at his subordinates arguing with a gloomy face.
Many days had passed, and the spies he sent to Laizhou City had already figured out which army was coming.
But what is unbelievable is that after so much money was spent, not a single spy could penetrate into the Xinghe Army.
The military camp was like a bottomless pool, and neither cannonballs nor scouts could detect the depth.
