After this meeting, the wealthy clans, each with their own agendas, completely fell apart.
They came together because of their interests. Now that their interests are different, they naturally terminated their cooperation.
Before the crusade against the bandits, they were extremely confident. They were just a group of petty thieves, so why should they be so arrogant? As long as they cooperate sincerely, it won't take long to deal with these little thieves.
If more than a month has passed, the bandits' team has continued to grow and turned into a behemoth.
And what about their wealthy family? From time to time, news came that the entire Liangzhou wealthy family was trembling with fear. If this continues, the wealthy families in Liangzhou will be extinct in less than a month...
After Patriarch Bai saw Patriarch Yang leading people away, he suddenly relaxed and sat on the chair, as if his energy had been drained away. He was at a loss and didn't know what to do next.
Although the governor was very concerned about suppressing the bandits and claimed that he would vigorously support the wealthy families, Liangzhou's troops were mobilized to the front line, so the main force for suppressing the bandits could only rely on their wealthy families.
But their wealthy family... is almost gone now!
He once begged Jiang Tuo to write a letter to the Prime Minister of Chencang, but every time it was to no avail. Finally, there was a reply. The content of the letter also encouraged them. The main idea was that as long as they unite sincerely, they can overcome difficulties and jointly write a bright new tomorrow for Liangzhou. .
The content looks very inspiring and shocking, but it is of no use...
Jiang Tuo also said that the prime minister was under a lot of pressure in Chencang. After all, facing the two armies of Cao Zhen and Sima Yi... Wei Guo seemed to have lost his mind and wanted to recapture Liangzhou frantically.
As a wealthy family, you must learn to share difficulties for the court and not cause trouble for the prime minister.
Chief Bai sighed. He understood the truth, but what should he do now?
"Brother Bai?"
A wealthy family talker asked softly: "Clan Chief Yang has taken away half of the people, and only us wealthy families are left. Do we still want to be enemies with the thieves? Are we... the opponents of this group of thieves?"
Patriarch Bai rubbed his temples and said slowly: "Let's shrink our forces first. We don't want to defeat the bandits, we just want to be able to protect ourselves, and then wait for the opportunity."
"What opportunity are you waiting for?"
"Liangzhou is the rear area of Yongzhou, and Zhuge Liang will never sit idly by. I think that when Zhuge Liang frees up his hands, he will send troops to Liangzhou and wipe out this group of bandits."
Patriarch Bai encouraged everyone: "Don't be discouraged. When the thieves are destroyed, it will be the day when I will be promoted and make a fortune, so I will continue to persevere..."
Before Chief Bai finished speaking, a scout looked frightened and hurried into the camp. He walked directly in front of Chief Bai, bowed and knelt down and said, "Master, something bad has happened!"
"What's wrong?"
"The thieves attacked Buqu today. Our family, Buqu, suffered heavy losses and was defeated. We also had food and baggage, which were also captured by the thieves..."
"What?"
At this moment, Patriarch Bai's face turned pale. He wailed and wanted to rush out. However, troubled by his size, he tripped and fell after taking just a few steps. He fell to the ground and fell unconscious.
"Chief Bai!"
Patriarch Yang and a group of rich talkers who walked out of the camp were also at a loss. Are they really going to surrender to the bandits next?
After word spread, how could wealthy families like them still hang out in Liangzhou?
More importantly, after the peace negotiation, how should they get along with the hard-line wealthy families?
Are we going to fight them to the death?
Patriarch Yang also sighed and surrendered to the bandits. This was not a small crime. If the bandits are destroyed in the future, these people will be their accomplices and will be liquidated!
Will Jiang Tuo let them go?
"Brother Yang, what should we do?"
One is the long-term plan, and the other is the immediate trouble.
Patriarch Yang took a deep breath. He felt that he had to solve the immediate problem first: "Let's do this. In the name of us, we can write a letter to the bandits and say that we intend to negotiate peace with them."
"yes!"
So without further ado, they drafted a very tactful letter and put it in an envelope for the scout to take away.
Nowadays, this group of thieves is so numerous that they are not as hard to find as a month ago, and they even dare to show up arrogantly. After the scout found the whereabouts of the bandit, he handed over the letter.
Not long after, the bandits sent them back again.
The envelope was intact, but the letter was torn to pieces.
This arrogant style fits Geng Bin's character very well.
"Perhaps there were no promises and benefits in the letter, so the bandits did not agree." Chief Yang comforted himself, so he wrote another letter in his own handwriting, promising to provide the bandits with supplies, equipment, food, grass and many other benefits.
But the result is still the same, the envelope is fine, but the letter inside is torn!
"I'll beat your lungs out!"
Patriarch Yang was furious, what happened to this bandit?
As if he was fearless, he specifically opposed their wealthy family.
All the wealthy nobles who surrendered could not understand and looked at each other in confusion.
"Did we give too little benefit? Did it cause the thieves to be dissatisfied?"
"How about we give more?" Someone gritted his teeth and frowned: "Everyone, if you are robbed by these bandits, you will lose everything. I hope you can understand the truth."
"Um!"
Patriarch Yang was very distressed, so he could only lower his profile again, wrote a letter of petition for peace that was humiliating and humiliating the country, and gave him almost everything he could. He also called Hao Santong Brother Hao and Geng Bin Brother Geng in the letter.
Looking at the letter, Geng Bin sat by the campfire and grinned.
Hao Santong also stretched his neck, leaned over to read the letter, and said with a smile: "Second Master, this condition is okay... As long as we agree to them, we will become a wealthy family, and we will be popular and drink spicy food from now on..."
Under Hao Santong's shocked eyes, Geng Bin tore up the letter without hesitation.
"Huh? This?"
Geng Bin said dissatisfied: "Oh, I am relatively young, but he calls me brother. Isn't this calling me old?"
Hao Santong: "..."
He really wanted to question Geng Bin, what was he thinking, why he refused to agree to such a good condition, and still used such unfounded charges!
Are you going to chop them all off when you meet wealthy people in the future just because they move their left leg first?
Geng Bin shook his head, ignored Hao Santong, scratched his beard and thought.
It can be seen that these wealthy families are basically forced to a dead end, otherwise they would not come to negotiate peace. If all these wealthy families are cut down, it will be very popular, but Liangzhou will have no one to govern...
Should I tell the adults that it’s time to close the net?
