Chapter 736 Gold 2 and the Strategy of Winning
Youzhou White Horse General Gongsun Zan, this is a very famous military general in the early period of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but it is a pity that in this world, the legendary White Horse General is just a small county guard. A sheriff who didn't do much.
In Youbeiping County, Gongsun Zan can be called a good official. She cares about the people under her rule and takes protecting the people as her duty, so she is quite supported by the people.
But it's a pity that although she is a good person, she doesn't have much ability, especially the White Wolf Village is located in the border of Youbeiping County, and the people who are most harassed by the White Wolf Village are the people of Youbeiping County.
For a long time, Gongsun Zan wanted to wipe out the White Wolf Village, kill all the thugs who caused disasters in the village, and return the people to a peaceful living environment.
However, she is only a mere second-rank General Hu Lie, with no more than a thousand soldiers under her command. It is really a fantasy to use her power to wipe out the White Wolf Village.
Although it is not that she has never thought of uniting with the surrounding counties, it is a pity that the surrounding county guards have their own ideas and promises well on the surface, but in fact, they have never actually taken any practical actions, and can only do it day by day. Watching the White Wolf Village grow bigger.
If possible, Gongsun Zan would rather give up her family business than fulfill her wish!
On this day, Gongsun Zan was training soldiers when he heard a message from his servants that there was a man and a woman outside the door begging to see them, saying that they had come to discuss important matters with the Sheriff, which made her very puzzled.
If these two were righteous men who came to vote, she would of course welcome them. In order to recruit talented people, she had issued announcements in the county, but it was a pity that apart from one Changshan Zhao Zilong, she was only a guest. Just leave your identity temporarily. So far, he has not been able to recover his body and mind.
So now this man and a woman come to see me, what are they looking for me for?
Although she was a sheriff, Gongsun Zan didn't have too much airs. Since he had stated that he had something important to discuss, as the sheriff, she certainly couldn't neglect it.
After all, according to the rumors passed down by the servants, neither the man nor the woman looked like ordinary people. Even the woman held a weapon in her hand, so she should be a warrior with a good hand.
It would be great if the other party could come to join him for the sake of being a sheriff.
It's a pity that when Gongsun Zan saw the two of them, as soon as they expressed their intention to come, she was extremely disappointed.
Please borrow troops from the two of them, and send troops to the White Wolf Village? Help the two of them capture the White Wolf Village? What a joke!
Gongsun Zan was in a very bad mood, you know. She has only about a thousand soldiers, not enough to guard a county, so how can they attack the White Wolf Village?
If she could do it, she wouldn't need anyone to tell her, she would just fight. Could she still be as depressed as she is today?
"I'm very sorry, both of you, it's not that I, Gongsun Zan, don't want to attack the White Wolf Village. It's just that, as the guard of a county, if I devote all my troops to this battle, it's okay if I win, but if I fail, the consequences will be very serious." I can afford it."
After understanding the other party's intentions, Gongsun Zan resolutely rejected the two after thinking for a while.
But for Gongsun Zan's refusal, not only did the two of them not show annoyance on their faces. Instead, they looked at each other and smiled.
"Second sister, as I said, it is impossible for Master Gongsun Zan to send troops so easily, is it not?"
"Yes big brother, this time it's my little sister, I was wrong."
At this time, he was sitting in front of Gongsun Zan. Needless to say, it was Li Yalin and Guan Yu brothers and sisters who came from Zhuo County. The reason for the above conversation was that they started before they met Gongsun Zan.
At that time, Li Yalin and Guan Yu were discussing meeting with Gongsun Zan. According to Guan Yu, as long as she is righteous, I believe Gongsun Zan will understand her painstaking efforts and agree to send troops to Bailangzhai to take down the leader of all evils and return You Beiping A peaceful and stable life for the county people.
It's a pity that Li Yalin doesn't see it that way.
Gongsun Zan did not do much,
But it doesn't mean that she is a fool, and the two of them want to borrow soldiers just because of empty talk. This is simply a sentence that makes Gongsun Zan gamble all his family fortune.
Anyone with a brain would not agree to this kind of thing. Knowing the righteousness, these words are nothing but idealism.
It's just that Li Yalin couldn't say this directly to Guan Yu, so he could only speculate from the side to let Guan Yu understand what he meant. Of course, Guan Yu was not convinced. In the end, the two made a bet, depending on whether Gongsun Zan would agree.
After meeting Gongsun Zan at the beginning, Guan Yu was the first to express her intention as soon as the three of them introduced themselves to each other. She felt that she was on the side of righteousness. feasibility of the strategy.
It's a pity that she was very disappointed in the result. Gongsun Zan resolutely refused after thinking for a while. Losing the bet is a trivial matter. If the purpose of coming this time has not been achieved, how can he win the White Wolf Village?
"Lord Gongsun Zan, my brother and sister did not come here this time because we wanted to go to White Wolf empty-handed, to get the soldiers and horses of Lord Sheriff, so that we can go down to White Wolf Village alone."
It was just a small bet between brother and sister. Of course Li Yalin would not ask for any bet. Now that Guan Yu took the initiative to admit his mistake, he, as the elder brother, must stand up and rescue his sister.
He stood up, cupped his hands slightly towards Gongsun Zan, then took a box on the ground to the table, and opened it casually.
It was fine for Li Yalin not to open the box, but the moment the lid of the box was opened, a golden light flashed, causing the two sisters Guan Yu and Gongsun Zan to exclaim.
"Gold?"
Guan Yu knew that Li Yalin was carrying this box with him, but he didn't know what it contained. How could she have imagined it, so she was randomly placed on the horse by his elder brother. In this seemingly inconspicuous little box, there was Will hold so many gold ingots!
Not to mention Guan Yu, even Gongsun Zan looked straight at this moment.
Even if she is a county guard, she has so many people under her rule, so the expenses are naturally huge. Although there is a fixed tax every month, there is basically very little left after it is used for the military and for the people. How is it possible? Seen so much gold.
"Here is a thousand taels of gold, which can be regarded as the cost of renting Lord Gongsun Zan's troops, and I also promise that there is no need for Lord Gongsun Zan's soldiers and horses to fight against the robbers in Bailangzhai. As long as your army can contain the enemy, leave it to me The time for the two brothers and sisters to kill the thief leader is enough, I wonder what Gongsun Zan would like?"
With a bow towards Gongsun Zan, Li Yalin has poked Gongsun Zan's death spot. The temptation of a thousand taels of gold, should he continue?
You know, a thousand taels of gold is ten thousand taels of silver, and it would be worth ten thousand taels of copper coins. With so much money in hand, Gongsun Zan's Youbeiping County is likely to become the strongest county in the surrounding area.
And more importantly, if the White Wolf Village is taken down, it means that the biggest cancer in the village will be killed, and Youbeiping County will surely develop smoothly from then on.
What's more, the man and woman in front of him are not ordinary people at first glance. If they can make a good relationship with them, it may be a greater opportunity for him.
Although Gongsun Zan's ability is not good, and he occasionally does some amusing behavior, but who can actually sit on the head of a county, who would be an idiot?
So after weighing for a while, she finally took a long breath.
"This matter is not trivial. Can you let me think about it for a while before I give you two answers?" Gongsun Zan bowed his hands to Li Yalin and Guan Yu. Gongsun Zan obviously needed a longer time to think about it. Of course, Li Yalin couldn't refuse, so he stretched out his hand immediately. Made a please gesture.
"Brother really wants to give Lord Gongsun Zan a thousand taels of gold?"
Gongsun Zan left to think for a while, Li Yalin and Guan Yu were supposed to stay where they were, and while they were alone, Guan Yu quickly asked out the doubts in his heart.
As a girl with great ambitions and a heart for the people of the world, Guan Yu is certainly not obsessed with money, but she also knows that a penny is hard for a hero. If Li Yalin wants to develop vigorously in the future and plan a great cause, then money must be indispensable of.
Wouldn't it be better to keep this thousand taels of gold as start-up capital instead of giving it to Gongsun Zan?
"Of course, Second Sister doesn't know about it. This time we came here to borrow troops. Apart from borrowing troops, I also want to win over Miss Gongsun as a brother. Do you understand?"
Li Yalin knew what Guan Yu wanted to say, and of course he had his own plans for it.
It's just a mere gold, and Li Yalin is naturally the most indispensable. Let alone a thousand taels, even if it is ten thousand taels or a hundred thousand taels of gold, he can still get it now.
If only a thousand taels of gold could establish a good relationship with Gongsun Zan, why would he not do it?
"Bring... little sister understands." Guan Yu is also a smart person, and when Li Yalin said this, she immediately understood.
Guan Yu is not like an ordinary warrior who only knows how to fight. If she is asked to be a military adviser or something, she can be competent in some small battles. As soon as Li Yalin said to win over, she immediately responded.
That's right, if you want to use White Wolf Village as your base, you must have frequent contact with the sheriff of Youbeiping County, that is, Gongsun Zan. If you can make a good impression on Gongsun Zan now, you can develop White Wolf in the future Village, isn't it simpler?
After figuring this out, Guan Yu no longer bothered about the thousand taels of gold, and being smart, she never asked Li Yalin about the source of the thousand taels of gold.
For Guan Yu, she didn't need to think about it so much, as long as she could convince Gongsun Zan that she could successfully invade the White Wolf Village, then it was enough for her.
In fact, the power of a thousand taels of gold is indeed strong enough. About half an hour later, Gongsun Zan appeared in front of Li Yalin and Guan Yu again. Will be introduced to the two.
And that guest general is exactly the unparalleled general that Li Yalin has always wanted to have in his bag——Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong! (To be continued..)
