Liu Yu called Xu Yue over. At this time, Xu Yue already knew that more than 100 people last night were defeated by more than 20 people. He was so ashamed of his cowardice that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. But when he was brought to Liu Yu, he returned to his fear of death.
"I don't know what the general's order is when he calls the villain." Xu Yue said flatteringly, with wrinkles on his white and plump face smiling.
"Oh, why haven't you untied it yet? Quickly untie Xu Jun."
Seeing that Xu Yue was still tied up, Liu Yu continued with a look of regret.
"We were each our own masters last night. We really had no choice but to do so. Now that Mr. Xu has abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side, we can no longer treat him like this."
"Abandoning the dark and turning to the light?" Xu Yue was stunned when he heard this, his heart tightened, and he almost couldn't take a breath to carry it on his back. This hateful Donglai thief said that he "forsook the dark and turned to the light" and betrayed the clan, which was more serious than killing himself. Surrendering if you can't beat him is at best incompetent. If the world knew that Xu Yue not only surrendered, but also betrayed his clan, he would be regarded as an incompetent and shameless person who could be punished by everyone.
Xu Yue's eyes caught sight of the changes in the looks of the prisoners next to him when they looked at him. He panicked and said hurriedly, "General, I misunderstood, I misunderstood. The general is as brave as an overlord and is reincarnated. A certain man is just a mantis with his arms like a chariot." , it doesn’t count as abandoning darkness and turning to light, it doesn’t count, haha.”
"Huh?" Liu Yu was stunned at first when he heard what Xu Yue said. But he immediately understood what Xu Yue meant. He must have misunderstood what he just said. , I, the Lords of Donglai, are raising righteous troops to attack the treacherous ministers who are causing chaos in the country. Lord Xu has gone astray and returned to help our army in the campaign against the treacherous ministers and traitors. Of course, he abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side."
When Xu Yue heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. However, the name of joining the rebels was not very good. It would be really uncomfortable to be labeled as such.
"I have little talent and little knowledge. Even if I want to serve the general, I'm afraid I won't be able to serve as a soldier." Xu Yue bravely resisted.
"Mr. Xu has a lot of knowledge, how can he use a small soldier as an analogy?" Liu Yu thought to himself, if this old boy is still dishonest, he really needs to continue to use some "hard" means to improve his memory. "Now we Marching westward to defeat the rebels, I had this misunderstanding with your Xia Mi Xu family, which was really not what I wanted."
"Mr. Xu, you also told me last night that Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, caused harm to the country and the people, and harmed the loyal and good people. He actually sent Sima Luo to persecute the people of Qingzhou. For example, if you send a secret to a family like the Xu family, which inherits poetry and etiquette, and is a pillar of education, ." Liu expected to wear a few high hats before extorting ransom. It won't cost anything anyway. "Now I, the Donglai Volunteers, are passing here to defeat the traitor Sima Yue. This is actually to protect your Xu family. A loyal and virtuous countryman."
"Yes, yes, yes, the Donglai Volunteers are really the saviors of our people in Beihai County. They misunderstood last night and were really deceived by the Donghai Domain thieves." Xu Yue also quickly answered.
"Yesterday's misunderstanding is not worth mentioning." Liu Yu waved his hand, "We, the Donglai Volunteers, are fighting against thieves this time for the people of Beihai County and to protect the lives and property of the people of Beihai. This way we protect the people. People, are you being protected by providing military rations and supplies?”
"What the general said is reasonable. The general will attack the traitors and protect the people. The people of Beihai County should bear some food and supplies." Xu Yue agreed quickly. He thought that his life was being held by others. This thing should be killed. You can just agree to whatever Lai Thief says. As for whether it can happen in the future, he is not the head of the clan, so it doesn't matter what he says.
"It's best if you think so. Then I will send Mr. Xu back, but I will take my words to your clan leader."
Finally, Liu Yu told Xu Yue the conditions he needed to convey. Liu Yu promised the Xu family that as long as the Xu family provided Liu with 50,000 liters of grain before sunset tomorrow, Liu Yu would guarantee tens of thousands of acres of grain in Hexi Province. He would not touch the fields at all, and would also ensure that the tenant farm slaves would not be hindered from harvesting the fields.
If Liu Yu does not agree to his conditions, then Liu Yu will send soldiers to set fire to the fields, and all the tens of thousands of acres of wheat fields that are about to be harvested will be burned to ashes. Liu Yu believes that he can use a mere 50,000 acres of grain in exchange for tens of thousands of acres. The land is worth millions of catties of grain, which is really a bargain.
Of course, Liu Yu's purpose was not to extort a mere 50,000 yuan in food, but before departure, when he was still in Dangli County, some Tianshi Taoists in Xiami County reported to Liu Bogen that nearly 10,000 refugees had gathered in Xiami County. , as long as there is food, they can go through fire and water.
At that time, Liu Bogen didn't take it too seriously, but Liu Yu remembered it.
He wanted to capture Gaomi County with his own strength. If he could succeed, Liu Yu might become the third most powerful faction after Liu Bogen and Wang Mi, and he would no longer be the simple vanguard thug.
Of course, in order to obtain such a wonderful first pot of gold, the difficulties he will face are also foreseeable. Liu Yu almost only has one of the three necessary conditions: "timing," "geography," and "people."
From the perspective of "timing", Liu Yu must seize the city of Xiami and subdue the refugees and believers before Liu Bogen breaks through Jiaodong and reaches Xiami. Liu Yu estimated that even if Liu Bogen went non-stop along the way, and if he could break through Jiaodong City in two days, it would take seven days at the fastest. Now there are less than five days left. Excluding the time on the march, Liu Yu actually has a very short time to attack the city, only two days.
From the perspective of "geographical advantages", if Liu Yu wanted to drive directly to Mi County, he would have to pass through the territory of the powerful Xu family, Gao family, Yan family, etc., which might put him under siege. If you encounter a setback under the secret city, you may be attacked from both inside and outside and fall into a dangerous situation.
As for "" and "", they may be Liu Yu's best chance of winning. Most of the soldiers in Qingzhou have no intention of fighting at all. According to what Liu Yu learned, the same is true for the soldiers in Xia Mi City. Moreover, there are a large number of refugees and Tianshi believers gathered inside and outside Xiami City. When Liu Yu brings food to survive, these people can be used by Liu Yu.
When Xu Yue heard that Liu Yu's so-called conditions were so simple, he couldn't help but feel secretly happy. He felt that these poor people in Donglai Mountain had a poor temperament even for blackmail. But he still patted his chest and assured that these were all voluntary contributions from the people of Qingzhou.
~~~~~~~~~
"Don't worry, general, I will bring you to my clan leader without missing a word."
At the gate of the camp, Xu Yue held back the joy of escaping from death and patted his chest again, assuring Liu Yu that the head of the Xu family would definitely give a hundred consents to Liu Yu's request.
