Chapter 239 On the Importance of Eloquence

When everyone heard this, they sighed inwardly. Hu Cheng's attitude has never been so polite. This person is different from others. Brother Song, who seems to be respected and omnipotent in our mountain, seems not so awesome elsewhere, but Young Master Jia is still domineering.

Du Jia smiled and said, "Okay, Brother Hu Cheng is quick to speak, then I will be straight to the point. We must take down the Zhujiazhuang Liangshan, but we want to make friends with you in Guizhuang and Lijiazhuang. As long as you promise to withdraw from this war and no longer help Zhujiazhuang, I can let Brother Hu go back immediately and ensure the safety of everyone in your Zhuangzi. I wonder what Brother Hu wants?"

Hu Cheng was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that what Du Jia said was, but he immediately sneered: "Du Jia, I respect you as a hero, but you seem to be a bit arrogant, right? Now that we have been fighting for more than a month, it seems that you are the people in Liangshan at a disadvantage, right? If you don't say anything else, we have caught a total of seven of your leaders, but only Zhu Hu and I were captured on our side, but your tone is as if you can easily win Liangshan."

Du Jia said relaxedly: "Yes, what I said is the fact. Although our Liangshan soldiers are still these, are you a substitution without a coach?"

Du Jia was almost saying directly that the original coach Song Jiang was a waste, and his general was incompetent to exhaust the three armies. However, everyone present felt that it was inappropriate when they heard this, and even Hu Cheng was no exception. If Song Jiang was present, he would probably vomit blood again and fall to the ground.

He nodded seriously and said, "So that's it. No wonder I think the legendary famous Liangshan people are so vulnerable. It turns out that it is the guy called Song Jiang. But it's also true that a face-patterned official who has never brought soldiers can lead so many people, and you can do it."

Hu Cheng's words were too sarcastic. Many leaders here felt quite ashamed when they heard this, but they could not find any rebuttals.

Du Jia smiled faintly and said, "Thank you, Brother Hu's good advice. We will definitely listen carefully, but it seems that you have not answered my question yet."

Hu Cheng pondered for a moment and said, "Du Jia, can I ask why Liangshan is coming to attack us? We didn't seem to have any grudges before, so we didn't have any good grudges, right?"

Everyone thought to myself, what's there to ask about this? You hit me and I hit you, it's not normal to fight and kill, especially Li Kui and others' concept that if I don't hit you, I'll give you face. What's there to ask about this?

However, only a few smart people understand that all wars require a reason, otherwise they will be unfair and unjust, so even if they are composed, they will have to be composed, even if they are fighting in the underworld, they will be no exception.

Your man hit my man.

Your little brother glanced at me.

You scolded me.

The dog you raised barked at me.

Your dog bit my dog.

...

These reasons may not be true reasons - anyone with a little scale or a little wise will not fight to the death for such a meaningless battle. Most of such stupid people are naturally eliminated in the fierce struggle. In fact, the reasons behind them are often disputes of interests.

The party with a legitimate reason will occupy the moral high ground, which seems to be useless on the battlefield, but it is absolutely not the case outside the battlefield. They will become the "just party" in the minds of public opinion and the public, thus gaining many advantages in all aspects.

It is precisely because of this that Song Jiang made up the reason that Zhujiazhuang stole their goods before, and the purpose was to show that it makes sense for us to beat you, but this reason can only deceive our own people. The people in Zhujiazhuang and other three villages naturally won’t take the blame!

Hu Cheng is also the young owner of Hujiazhuang, and he still has this political acumen. As soon as he started, he asked this key point. If Du Jia and the others couldn't explain the truth or simply didn't reason, it would be underestimated.

After all, big guys who are willing to sit at the table and negotiate need to be kind. Those who can't wear suits and tie can pick up beer bottles to beat people in a disagreement, right?

It would be embarrassing to be someone else, but how could Du Jia be stumped by this small problem? He said calmly: "Mr. Hu still remembers the couplet in front of Zhujiazhuang? Can you please tell me the content?"

Hu Cheng was stunned: "Couplet? What couplet?"

He didn't know what the war had to do with couplets. Everyone was a gangster, so he just wanted to find an appropriate excuse. Couplets were all done by literati and scholars.

However, his mind suddenly turned around and remembered the content of the couplet, "Traveling Liangshan to capture Chao Gai, filling the waters and capturing Du Jia." His cold sweat immediately came down.

In fact, Zhujiazhuang is just a slogan to make this happen, not really to be with Liangshan. Any force exhibition has to create a few imaginary enemies to unite their own people. Zhujiazhuang is no exception. Liangshan is the most popular recently, so they chose Liangshan.

This is like every team in the NBA is shouting the slogan of competing for the championship. Even if they go straight to the No. 1 pick in the lottery, no one will really take it seriously. They themselves are just shouting in public to show that they are ambitious.

But now it’s different for Du Jia to take out this excuse. Damn, you all have to fill the water and catch me. It’s not natural for us to beat you? What? You just shout slogans casually. Can you shout such things casually? It’s so hard for uncles and aunts to bear it!

Hu Cheng was immediately asked and couldn't speak out. He realized that Du Jia was really amazing, not inferior to rumors at all. Moreover, not only his martial arts command, but his eloquence was also so great. Playing such a trick in front of him was like showing off his skills.

He had to sing a rude and beg for mercy: "Young Master Jia is really amazing. Brother is convinced. I am just a humiliating person to play such tricks with Youth. Then I will ask seriously now. Are the promises that Jia Lao said before true?"

Seeing that Hu Cheng was convinced, Du Jia also said seriously: "Of course it's true. We have fought with Zhujiazhuang like this. Both sides have suffered numerous casualties and injuries. No matter what they were originally for, they can only continue to fight now. Otherwise, no one can explain it. Both of us can only end up with one side being completely destroyed.

But Guizhuang and Lijiazhuang were just caught in. As long as you really withdraw, we will never worry about it. Things were written off before, if there is any violation, there will be such an arrow!"
