Chapter 11 Ransom

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 regained his fear of death.

"I don't know what the general's order is when he calls the villain." Xu Yue said in a flattering manner, with wrinkles on his white and plump face smiling.

"Oh, why haven't you untied it yet? Quickly untie Xu Jun."

Liu Yu saw Xu Yue still being tied up, and continued with a look of regret on his face.

"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 bear it in one breath. This abominable 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 defeat 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 in the eyes of the world.

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 the reincarnation of an overlord, and a certain man is just a mantis with his arms like a chariot."

, it doesn’t count as abandoning the dark and turning to the 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, have raised a righteous army to attack the treacherous ministers who are causing trouble to 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 even 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 you old boy is still dishonest, you really need 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. If you send a secret to the Xu family and other heirs of poetry and etiquette, you can educate the pillars of the family.

." Liu expected to wear a few high hats before extorting ransom. It won't cost money anyway. "Now I, the Donglai Volunteers, are passing here to defeat the traitor Sima Yue. This is actually to protect your Xu family.

He is a loyal and good countryman."

"Yes, yes, yes, the Donglai Volunteers are really the saviors of our people in Beihai County. They misunderstood last night and were deceived by the Donghai Domain thieves." Xu Yue also quickly answered.

"Yesterday's misunderstanding is not worth mentioning." Liu Xuan 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. In this way, we have protected the people.

People, are they being provided with food and supplies by the protectors?"

"What the general said is reasonable. The general will attack the traitors and protect the people. It is indeed appropriate for the people of Beihai County to bear some food and supplies." Xu Yue quickly agreed. He thought that his life was being held by others. This thing should be killed.

You can just agree to whatever the thief says. As for whether it can happen in the future, he is not the patriarch 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 kilograms 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 exchange tens of thousands of pounds for a mere 50,000 kilograms of grain.

An acre of land is worth a million pounds of grain, which is really a bargain.

Of course Liu Yu's purpose was not to extort a mere 50,000 kilograms of grain, but before departure, when he was still in Dangli County, some Tianshi Taoists from Xiami County reported to Liu Bogen that nearly 10,000 people had gathered in Xiami County.

Refugees, as long as they have food, they can go through fire and water.

Liu Bogen didn't take it too seriously at that time, 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 a 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 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, there would be two of them.

If we were to attack Jiaodong City in one day, it would take seven days at the fastest. But 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 convenience", 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 in 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 were a large number of refugees and Tianshi believers gathered inside and outside Xiami City. When Liu Yu brought food to survive, these people could be used by Liu Yu.

When Xu Yue heard that Liu Yu's so-called conditions were so simple, he couldn't help but secretly rejoiced. He felt that these poor ghosts in Donglai Mountain had a poor temperament even for blackmail. However, he still patted his chest and assured that these were the people of Qingzhou.

Volunteered.
