The head of the Wang family, who was also standing behind the earthen wall, gave the Cui family leader a thumbs up.
Although half a month's rations for five thousand people is a lot, for the Cui and Wang family who have been operating in Xiaosongji for many years, this amount of food is not impossible to come by.
For them, it was natural that they were not willing to give up so much food to outsiders.
In recent years, the weather has been bad and food prices have been rising, so we are even more reluctant to give food cheap to outsiders.
"Our commander said that if we don't deliver the food when the time comes, we will bombard Xiao Songji." Commander Huang's soldiers said to the head of the Cui family on the earthen wall.
The head of the Cui family frowned slightly and said, "Don't fire cannons. We will provide food, but you want too much food. Xiao Songji can't get it at all. Can we discuss and provide less food."
"The quarter-hour is almost here. If you keep talking nonsense for a while, the guns will be fired. Don't say I didn't warn you." Commander Huang reminded his soldiers.
He knew in his heart that the one who really wanted food was the battalion commander of the Tiger-Character Banner, and their general was just the person who came forward.
The people in Xiaosongji would not give them food. Based on his understanding of the camp commander of Tiger Character Banner, the other party would definitely bombard Xiaosongji.
The head of the Cui family failed to get the result he wanted, so he had to retract his body behind the earth wall, looked at the head of the Wang family under the table, and said: "Brother Wang, you heard what the traitor outside said, what should you do next? ?”
"This!" The head of the Wang family looked hesitant.
Seeing this, the second son of the Cui family couldn't help but said: "Uncle Wang, stop thinking about it, quarter of an hour is coming soon, and the thieves outside are really capable of firing."
"Shut up and don't disturb uncle." Cui's eldest son scolded his second brother.
The second son of the Cui family glared at his elder brother and said in a dissatisfied tone: "What's the use of talking to me? If you can, tell the thieves outside to stop firing."
"What do you mean? I just asked you not to disturb Uncle Wang's thinking. It has nothing to do with whether the rebel army can fire or not. Stop messing around here." Cui's eldest son said with an unhappy look.
The second son of the Cui family immediately replied: "Who is causing trouble? I think you are deliberately looking for trouble."
The two sons of the Cui family started quarreling behind the earthen wall.
This made Patriarch Cui's face darker and darker.
"Shut up, you two unsatisfactory people." Finally, the Cui family leader couldn't help but cursed his two sons.
The eldest son of Cui and the second son of the Cui family shut their mouths.
At this time, the head of the Wang family said: "There is not enough time. Even if we agree to give them food, it is too late. I think we should send people out to meet the rebels first."
"Who do you think is better to go?" asked the Cui family leader.
The head of the Wang family looked at the two sons of the Cui family and said: "Those who want to see the rebel army should have some status in Xiao Songji, and you and I need to stay and take charge."
He didn't directly say who he wanted to go, but the look in his eyes revealed the candidate.
"Cui Guang, you go." The Cui family leader said to his second son.
When the second son of the Cui family heard this, he said with an ugly face: "Dad, the eldest brother is the eldest son. He should come forward in such matters."
Outside Xiao Songji were rebels from Kaifeng Fucheng. I heard that the rebels killed people without blinking an eye. How could he, a good second young master of the Cui family, be willing to take such a risk.
"There is so much nonsense, just go if you are told, go quickly." Seeing that his second son dared to contradict him, the Cui family leader's face darkened, and he was about to raise his hand to hit his son.
The eldest son will inherit the family business in the future, and naturally he will leave dangerous matters to his other sons.
Cui Guang knew that he couldn't go, so he looked very ugly and walked towards the west gate of the earthen castle with his head lowered.
"What are you doing? Get out of here." The Cui family leader raised his hand and pointed at the earthen wall beside him.
The rebels were outside Xiaosongji. He didn't want to open the west gate of Xiaosongji and have the rebels take advantage of the situation and rush into Xiaosongji.
Cui Guang had no choice but to step on the table and climb up the paradise wall, and then jumped to the ground outside.
The earthen wall was not high. After jumping off, I just sat on the ground with my butt. Apart from a slight butt slap, I didn't suffer any injuries.
"Go to the rebels and try to find a way to see Commander Huang of Xuanwuwei to see if we can get Xiao Songji to produce less food." The head of the Cui family warned Cui Guang who came outside.
Cui Guang looked up at his father on the earthen wall and said, "What if the rebels kill him and demand so much food?"
"How did I give birth to such an idiot like you? You don't know how to do it on your own, yet I teach you step by step about such a trivial matter!" The Cui family leader said to his son with a look of displeasure on his face.
At this time, the head of the Wang family said: "Brother Cui, forget about the second young master. I think I will agree to the rebels' request. I will only let the second young master talk to the rebels and give us some time to collect food."
"Brother Wang is laughing." The head of the Cui family said to the head of the Wang family with a look of shame, and then said to the second son outside, "When you see the rebels calling the shots, tell them their conditions, Xiao Song Ji I agreed, but it will take time to prepare the food, so let the rebels wait a little longer."
"My child has taken note of it." The second son of the Cui family turned around and ran towards Commander Huang's soldiers.
He didn't know how much time was left in the quarter of an hour given by the rebels, but he knew that the sooner he could see someone who could make the decision, the better, so that he could stop the rebels from bombarding Xiao Songji.
The soldiers left behind by Commander Huang were not far from Xiao Songji's earthen fortress.
Cui Guang quickly came to the soldier and said breathlessly: "We agreed to the food, but you have to give us time to raise the food."
"It will save trouble if you wait here." With that, Commander Huang's soldiers turned their horses and went back to deliver the message.
Cui Guang hurriedly stopped in front of the horse and said, "Can you take me there with you?"
"Wait here. If the general sees you, he will naturally take you there." After speaking, Commander Huang ordered his soldiers to pass by the other party on horseback.
Cui Guang hesitated.
He was asked to go to the rebel army alone, but he didn't dare, so he had to stay where he was, waiting for news from the other party.
"What a useless waste. He can't do such a small thing well." The Cui family leader naturally saw his second son standing there like a fool.
I feel more and more that my second son only knows how to dance with a gun and a stick.
"What's wrong? Did something happen?" The head of the Wang family under the wall asked worriedly as he couldn't see the situation outside Xiao Songji.
The head of the Cui family lowered his head and said to the head of the Wang family under the table: "You are incompetent, our family may have to give a large amount of food to the bandit army outside Xiao Songji."
"Although there is a lot of food, our two families can still get it together. In this way, I will send people back to prepare." After the head of the Wang family told the Cui family, he turned around and said a few words to the Wang family slaves who were following him.
The Wang family slave turned and left.
The head of the Cui family said to his eldest son: "Go home and take people to prepare food."
Cui's eldest son also left.
