Just like borrowing money, there is no room for bargaining. A little hug is better than a clean one.
It's okay, it's better than nothing. It can solve an urgent need.
"Thank you, Champion Hou. I would be very grateful if you could send it to me as soon as possible."
"It's easy. I'll bring it to you later. We'll be hungry for now."
Um, do I need to say thank you for your righteousness, but why are you so unhappy?
It was very awkward. I wanted to express my gratitude, but I just kept it in my heart.
"You're busy, I'll take my leave."
"Let's go now. Why don't you come in and have a cup of tea and let me fulfill my duties as a landlord."
But let's pull it off, you will gain wisdom after every experience, this will not improve your memory, just waiting to be cheated.
"No, no, you're quite busy. Let's go."
Hong Boyan Timur left these words, quickly mounted his horse, took his guards, and left.
There isn't much food, so at least I have some explanations when I go back. Let's finish what we have to eat today, and we'll talk about tomorrow's matters tomorrow.
When the boat reaches the bridge, it will naturally go straight, and there will be another village. No one knows what will happen tomorrow. Maybe the problem will be solved.
Hong Boyan Timur was quite thoughtful.
Back in the camp, Gao Basi Timur was sitting quietly. When he saw Hong Boyan Timur, he spoke lightly.
"I heard that you went to Yanmen Pass, have you thought of a way?"
The tone was calm, but there was indeed a chilling feeling. It was a cold day, but Hong Boyan Timur broke into a cold sweat and replied quickly.
"Yes."
"Oh, how many?"
Gao Basi Timur, who originally had no hope, couldn't help but light up when he heard this, and his tone softened a lot, but he was still quite eager.
"Today's food is available and will be delivered later."
"What about tomorrow?"
This question was difficult to answer and couldn't be fooled. Hong Boyan Timur could only tell the truth.
"Not tomorrow."
"What about the day after tomorrow?"
"No, it's only today. It won't be there in the future."
There was hope, but it could only solve an urgent need. Looking at Hong Boyan Timur who looked a little nervous, Gao Ba thought that Timur wanted to have an attack but couldn't.
Hearing this, he waved helplessly.
"That's it! When can it be delivered?"
"It should be very soon. He said he would keep an eye on us first, so he probably won't make us wait any longer."
"That's all!"
After replying, the camp fell into silence again.
Hong Boyan Timur has nothing to say.
Gao Ba Si Timur gradually had an immature idea in his mind. A plan that he had always wanted to do but was inconvenient to implement gradually took shape in his mind.
Now that the urgent need has been solved and the stomach is full, there will be more things that can be done with the strength.
The Ming army on the other side was also a little unhappy.
If you have to send food and grass out and give one portion to others, then you will have one less portion, and you will probably not be full.
Forget it if you poison me, as one of my own, I can at most express my contempt for you, but it’s not that easy to talk about when it comes to my own interests.
But fortunately, the food and grass for one day was still within the tolerable range. I felt a little uncomfortable and dissatisfied, but not to the point where thousands of people would point out.
Zheng Xiong's good reputation was reduced by one point, and everyone dispersed to do what they were supposed to do.
Zheng Xiong went to Zhang Huaiyuan to explain his purpose and waited for a reply.
"You said you were going to give the Yuan army a portion of food and grass so that they could eat enough first. Is that what you meant?"
"Yeah, that's right."
"You're so evil. I didn't talk to you last time. It doesn't matter if you pretend to be a fool. I believe you. You're here again this time."
"You didn't want the heads you picked up for free, but you let them go again. Now you want to send food to them. Isn't it just a joke? If you have food, you can't mess with it like this!"
"You have to give me a suitable reason, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to give you this food."
It’s hard to save face, and Zhang Huaiyuan is no longer cute.
There is nothing wrong with this, but how to respond is a problem.
There is only a possibility that Naha Chu in Liaodong will surrender and have to defeat them. The possibility is actually not very high, and maybe it is just a delaying tactic by others.
But as long as this glimmer of hope succeeds, the income will be very high. Compared with this little food and grass, there is no comparison.
At this time, since I asked, it’s really hard to answer.
"I don't know whether it's right or wrong. In short, you're selling me face, just this time, there will never be a next time."
Still didn't say the reason, but that's all, Zhang Huaiyuan didn't say much.
As a rising star in the Ming Dynasty's officialdom, Zheng Xiong started from nothing. In just two years, he reached a height that some people could not reach in their lifetime. Face is valuable.
"Okay, I won't ask why. It's just this once and it won't happen next time."
"Thank you for the reminder. I'll take my leave then and wait for your good news."
Zheng Xiong just left without any hesitation, which made Zhang Huaiyuan worried about gain and loss, always feeling that this face was wasted.
As a leader of Yanmen, there is no doubt about Zhang Huaiyuan's ability. He can handle the army's food and fodder in an orderly manner. The current food and fodder dispatching is not a problem.
Not long after, the food and grass were raised and sent to Zheng Xiong.
When Zheng Xiong got the food and grass, he asked his civilian men to deliver it to the Yuan army.
Everything went well, Zheng Xiong kept his word, and he didn't have any discounts on food and grass. He saved some food, and maybe he could manage another meal tomorrow.
Looking at the food and grass sent, Yuan Jun was still a little grateful. Maybe the previous accident was not impossible. It was an accident.
It is better to add icing on the cake than to provide help in times of need. Zheng Xiong's image was greatly improved in the hearts of Yuan Jun.
Giving Zheng Xiong a hard wash will not make him white, but if he can think more about the good things, it is not hopeless. He can still do this and keep his word.
Smoke curls up from the kitchen, full of hope.
After having a full meal, Yuan Jun basked in the sun and felt that the years were peaceful, and the physical satisfaction brought by it was intoxicating.
Before I knew it, it was afternoon, and before I knew it, the day had passed.
Early the next morning, smoke rose from the Yuan army camp, and sounds of running could be heard from time to time.
The noisy voice woke up Hong Boyan Timur from his sleep.
I had a full meal, there were no accidents like yesterday, and I finally had a good sleep.
It would be even more beautiful if we could sleep in the cage again, but the campground is too noisy and we don’t have this condition.
Somewhat dissatisfied, Hong Boyan Timur asked outside the tent.
"What's going on? Why is the camp so noisy?"
"The Lord Wanhu has given an order, and the army will start making food. When they are full and full of food, they will set off immediately."
"Ah, why didn't I know."
"Master Wanhu has been here and saw that you were sleeping soundly, so he left without disturbing you. Seeing that it was still early, we did not dare to disturb your sweet dream."
Having come and gone again, his personal guards would definitely not be careless in matters such as departure. Obviously, Gao Ba Si Timur must have given instructions.
"What did Wanhu come here to say?"
"I didn't say anything. I just told you that I wouldn't disturb your lord's sleep. You worked hard and had a hard day yesterday to get food. You should sleep more."
This statement goes against one's will as much as possible, and one is obviously dissatisfied with oneself.
I didn't tell myself anything about the army's departure. After discussing it, it was no longer a matter of dissatisfaction, but even trust was compromised.
"Okay, I get it."
After calming down for a while and thinking about the profound meaning, Hong Boyan Timur stretched his body, feeling refreshed and full of energy for another day.
