"You are so lively, don't you want us to sacrifice our lives for you? This is not cost-effective. If we fight with the Japanese now, we will all die. What's the point of talking about the future? What's more, if we follow you, what good will we gain? "
Although Ma Zhenshan had to admit that Duan Wu was right, as a bandit, he was naturally an egoist. If there are not enough benefits, it is impossible for him to be included.
Moreover, Ma Zhenshan had thought before that if the oath failed, he would either be killed or recruited. At that time, Gu Qiu also said that even if he was recruited, he would have to surrender someone powerful so that he could plan a comeback in the future.
Many heroes in history have done the same thing. First seek refuge with a more powerful lord, and then replace him with the throne.
Therefore, he is not opposed to joining the Dragon Boat Festival. What he wants is the benefits.
But the most important thing about the Dragon Boat Festival is the benefits. He laughed coldly and said: "Hahaha, Lao Ma, you are quite smart, aware of current affairs, and know how to weigh the pros and cons. I like it. Let me tell you this. Nanjing The city defense force is nothing, the gendarmerie brigade is nothing. Even me, the regimental commander, is nothing."
Ma Zhenshan sneered and said, "This is nothing to you, so why should I follow you?"
Duanwu patted Ma Zhenshan on the shoulder and said politely: "I am a special commissioner? Have you seen the imperial commissioner in the past? He was holding a Shangfang sword and was a senior official.
I don't know if you have heard of it, but I killed two of them, sir. The only people I could talk to were generals and commanders. Even the guards at the Presidential Palace call me uncle. You said that with my status, would it be a loss for you to follow me?
So Lao Ma, when it comes to life, you still have to take a long-term view. Everyone can see that little bit of Jiujiu in you. But reality, this society still needs reality, right? "
When Ma Zhenshan heard this, his heart became alive again. He looked at Gu Qiu, but Gu Qiu was thinking.
This old fox is Ma Zhenshan's think tank. He heard what Duanwu said. Combined with the rumors, it can be said that Duanwu did not lie. It's just that now, being incorporated under such circumstances, he will be killed right before his eyes.
The location they were in now was an enemy-occupied area, and there weren't many people around Duanwu. If you follow him now, you don't know how many people will die, and they may even be buried with you.
But if you refuse, I'm afraid the person in front of you will kill someone. Although there are many of them, the other party is a lunatic and has a background that they cannot afford to offend.
So this is troublesome.
However, Gu Qiu's military advisor was not in vain. He had a plan as soon as he rolled his eyes. He smiled and said to Duanwu: "Sir, we all believe what you said. But, these brothers are all Jianghu people, and I admire them the most. Those who are capable are capable.
In this way, the brothers are now fighting with the Japanese and have suffered heavy casualties. If you can use a trick to kill the Japanese and control the casualties of the brothers to less than one-third, then it will be easier for our leader to speak in front of the brothers. Do you think so? "
Ma Zhenshan nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, yes, what our brothers admire the most are those who have the ability. If the commander can't do it, then I'm sorry."
Ma Zhenshan, like Gu Qiu, was sure that Dragon Boat Festival could not be done because they had lost more than thirty people in the fight with the Japanese just now. At this time, it is not known how many people died.
So Gu Qiu is equivalent to having a problem with Dragon Boat Festival. Three hundred people, you will reduce my losses to one-third, and you will also kill the Japanese.
This was simply impossible to accomplish, at least Gu Qiu himself couldn't do it. Even if everyone from Erlang Mountain was involved, he didn't think it was possible.
So Gu Qiu was sure that Dragon Boat Festival couldn't do it, and in this way, they could justifiably refuse Dragon Boat Festival's inclusion.
This is a common calculation used by bandits. When they cannot refuse directly, they will often find various excuses in roundabout ways.
But little did they know that for the Dragon Boat Festival, this was a piece of cake. Perhaps an hour ago, Dragon Boat Festival would have felt embarrassed, but now, it is completely different.
So Duanwu readily agreed: "Yes, but from now on, you must listen to my orders."
Ma Zhenshan cupped his fists and said, "This is natural."
Duanwu smiled slightly and then ordered: "Pick twenty good ones and give them to Pang Hu to command. These people will block the Japanese army on the city wall, and the rest of the brothers will all withdraw."
"Hahaha, don't you want to withdraw, sir?"
Gu Qiu laughed, but Duanwu ignored it at this time. Instead, he said: "Remember all of you. When I'm not here, listen to Pang Hu's instructions. If you follow the orders but can't stop them, then don't blame me for turning against you during the Dragon Boat Festival. I dare to kill even the teacher, so don't do it." I told you. Do you understand?"
Ma Zhenshan and the bandit leaders were a little uncomfortable being suddenly placed under someone else's care, but fortunately the other party did not let them fight the Japanese.
So under Gu Qiu's eyes, Ma Zhenshan and others cupped their fists and handed over their hands.
At this time, seeing all the bandits nodding in agreement, Duanwu pulled Pang Hu aside and said: "As soon as the covering bandits retreat, you should retreat quickly. When daybreak, there is an explosion in the city, and immediately lead the people to fight back." ,do you understand?"
Pang Hu was surprised: "Tuanzuo, what about you?"
Duanwu smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about me. I can come and go in the city freely."
Pang Hu was worried: "Tuanzuo, can you take me with you?"
Duanwu said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? If you come with me, who will take care of these bandits? Remember, you can't be too polite to them, but you can't not give them any face. You have to know how to use soft and hard tactics. And Once you disobey orders, kill the Taoist priest with the goatee first, that person is their think tank, once he dies, Ma Zhenshan and others will be completely useless."
"yes!"
Pang Hu took the order and immediately went to select people to prepare to block the evacuation.
At this time, Duanwu was also about to leave, but Lao Baanplan came up again with a playful smile.
Dragon Boat Festival kicked him because this kid almost ruined all his money.
"Hey, Tuanzuo, I'll follow you and make up for it."
Lao Abacus apologized, but this time, Dragon Boat Festival could not take him because the city would be very dangerous. With Lao Baanpan's ability, he simply couldn't survive.
"Don't follow me. This time is very dangerous. Follow Pang Hu and help him manage these bandits. I still have great use for them."
Duan Wu lowered his voice and whispered to Lao Abacus. Even when giving orders to Pang Hu, Duan Wu used a voice that could only be heard by the two of them, just to prevent too many people from knowing his plan.
The plan was risky and crazy. If it is leaked, not only will his plan not be implemented, but those in the Shama store will be killed by the Japanese.
Although he learned from Ksitigarbha's mouth that most of these people were not good people. But there are children and old people among them.
These people are innocent. What's more, even if Sun Erniang and others are indeed unforgivable, they should not die at the hands of the Japs. They should be tried by the government, or atone for their sins in another way! ...
