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 about uniting with the surrounding counties, it is a pity that the surrounding county guards have their own ideas and promises 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 this family business than fulfill her wish!
On this day, Gongsun Zan was training soldiers when he suddenly heard a message from his servants that there was a man and a woman outside the door begging to see him, saying that they had come to discuss important matters with the governor of the county, 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 once issued an announcement in the county. It's a pity that except for one Changshan Zhao Zilong, and he only stayed temporarily as a guest general, so far he has not been able to take care of him physically and mentally.
So now this man and a woman come to see me, what are they looking for me for
Although he is a county guard, Gongsun Zan doesn't have much airs. Since they said that they came to discuss important matters, as the sheriff, she certainly couldn't neglect her.
After all, according to the rumors passed down by the servants, neither the man nor the woman looked like ordinary people, and even the woman was holding a weapon in her hand, so she should be a warrior with a good hand.
If the other party can see that he is a sheriff and come to join him. That would be great.
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 why would she have the strength to 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 garrison of a county, if I devote all my troops to this battle, it will be fine 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, it's just like what I said. Master Gongsun Zan can't send troops so easily, can he?"
"Yes, brother. I was wrong this time, younger sister."
Sitting in front of Gongsun Zan at this moment, needless to say, were brothers and sisters Li Yalin and Guan Yu 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 showed righteousness, I believe Gongsun Zan would understand her painstaking efforts and agreed to send troops to Bailangzhai to take down the leader of all evils, Zhu Meng, and return the right The peaceful and stable life of the people in Beiping County.
It's a pity that Li Yalin doesn't see it that way.
Gongsun Zan did not do much, but she was not necessarily a fool. The two of them wanted to borrow soldiers just because they had nothing to say.
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
"Gongsun
Mr. Zan, my brother and sister did not come here this time because we wanted to get White Wolf's soldiers and horses, so that we could get 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's back by her elder brother. In this seemingly inconspicuous small 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, but after it is used for the military and the people, there is basically very little left. How is it possible? Seen so much gold.
"Here is a thousand taels of gold, which is the cost of renting Lord Gongsun Zan's soldiers and horses, 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 leader of the bandits, Zhu Mong, is enough, I wonder what Master 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 tens of thousands of 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 captured, it means that the biggest cancer in Weihuo Township 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 an answer?" Gongsun Zan cupped his hands towards 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 soldiers. Besides borrowing soldiers, as a brother, I also intend to win over this Miss Gongsun. 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, Li Yalin is naturally the most indispensable, let alone thousands of taels, even if it is ten thousand taels, one 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... my 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 attack 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! ()
