310 Interests come first
The reason why people died for money and birds died for food in the late Ming Dynasty was that the peasant uprising army was repeatedly destroyed was not only the continuous addition of new blood, but the addition of the exploited soldiers was the factor in the transformation of these rebel soldiers. Because corruption among officials became popular, not only civil officials, but also many generals in the army were no exception. People who deducted military pay and drank military blood, Lao Huihui was also a very smart person. It was absolutely impossible for him to convince one or two people with weak will.
It's not time to die.
When the news spread, not only Lu Haoshan was surprised, but also Li Dingguo, who had always been very calm, was very tired by the news.
"Sir, what should I do now?" Li Dingguo said in surprise.
Zhao Gongchang gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, the king's surname is the first day of the lunar calendar, we can also do the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar. He robs us of our credit. We will now study his book in front of the emperor. After such a big blow, if he gets the whole body, it will be considered that the emperor will treat him well."
Zuo Liangyu was defeated in front and almost committed suicide, which had a great blow to the morale of the officers and soldiers. Now he was caught and asked him to run away. Wang Pu couldn't even explain it clearly even if he was covered in his mouth.
Lu Haoshan thought about it, and quickly shook his head and said, "Don't act rashly, let's wait and see what happens. I think that General Wang will take action soon."
If you don't die when you beat a snake, you will be able to kill it. Anyway, this matter is too urgent for a while, Lu Haoshan decided to wait and see that Zhao Gongchang and Li Dingguo had already made up their minds, so they couldn't say anything else.
You can interrupt small matters, but Lu Haoshan has the final say on big matters.
Li Dingguo was a little impressed by his elders. Lu Haoshan said that Wang Pu was acting quickly. Just two days later, the eunuch Lu Jiude of the army came to visit. There was also a carriage with him. Anyone with discerning eyes could see that the carriage carried a lot of things because the rut was very deep.
Lu Jiude came to "replenish the disaster". Wang Pu caused trouble and came to deal with the aftermath. The reason why he came to do this was very simple. He was an eunuch in the military supervision. If something happened to Wang Pu, he would be charged with ineffective supervision. Besides, when he was captured, Wang Pu would also share his share of the money and say one sentence. The grasshoppers he and Wang Pu were linked together, and good fortune and misfortune were shared.
Lu Haoshan had already expected Lu Jiude's arrival, but he did not expect Lu Jiude to come so quickly. As soon as the intelligence team he sent would receive the news, Feige sent a letter to him as soon as he got the news. Although Lu Jiude was two days late, considering Feige's speed and distance from Wu'an to Xiaotun, and Lu Jiude had to escort a carriage to come. This can calculate the speed and efficiency of Wang Pu and Lu Jiude.
It should have been a little discussion and soon made up my mind.
Lu Haoshan showed great enthusiasm for Lu Jiude's arrival. After some greetings, Lu Jiude asked Lu Haoshan to withdraw his subordinates and he had something to talk to Lu Haoshan in a secret conversation. Lu Haoshan had guessed his purpose long ago and waved his subordinates back. The two discussed secretly in the tent.
After about an hour, Lu Haoshan smiled and sent Lu Jiude out. The two of them were chatting and laughing while walking. They were sent to the camp gate before waving goodbye.
Watching Lu Jiude's carriage walk away, then look at the carriage parked in front of his tent. It was the carriage that followed Lu Jiude. However, when Lu Jiude left, he did not take the carriage, but left the carriage in Lu Haoshan's camp. The reason was very simple. This was part of the seizure of Lao Hui's gold and silver goods, and it was a dividend to Lu Haoshan and also a "blocking fee".
Lu Haoshan suddenly laughed.
Lu Jiude came this time to convince Lu Haoshan to "believe" that the old Huihui he caught was just a substitute, a person with a similar appearance to him. The real old Huihui had already escaped. This is an excellent excuse to escape responsibility. Because when he caught Lao Huihui and handed over Lao Huihui, many people were present to witness it. Maybe there was a detailed work by the court. If the repeated offender ran away, he said that he did not catch this person, which was unreasonable. As long as he was caught, Wang Pu was so embarrassed that he killed him after he was discovered, he was so embarrassed that no one could say anything, and Wang Pu lost the retribution.
Everything is perfect, but the premise is to get the cooperation of Lu Haoshan.
This is why Lu Haoshan laughed. In order to get Lu Haoshan to cooperate, Wang Pu also paid a considerable price. He distributed a truck of gold and silver goods to Lu Haoshan on the seized goods, worth more than 300,000 taels. In addition, he promised to give the first contribution of defeating Lao Huihui to Lu Haoshan, and also promised to take care of Lu Haoshan in the future in the future. For example, he would choose some easy and rewarding errands to Lu Haoshan when performing a mission. He was rich and famous and his own interests were guaranteed, so Lu Haoshan naturally accepted it with a smile.
No one thinks that the money is too much.
In addition to these, Lu Haoshan also asked Wang Pu to ask the military headquarters for hundreds of his cavalry to cooperate with Wang Pu to kill the enemy, because in this way, he had a lot of freedom in suppressing bandits. Wang Pu could not control himself even if he had a handle. He could also escape from the control of his superior Deng Yan. Lu Haoshan didn't want to keep guarding the pass or something. For this small condition, Lu Jiude agreed on the spot. He had seen how powerful Lu Hao's soldiers were, and there were some helpers around him, and his life was also more guaranteed.
Promising plus inducement, coupled with Lu Jiude's fair tongue, finally "persuaded" Lu Haoshan to accept the "fact" that he was the old Huihui substitute. Lu Jiude's trip can be said to have a perfect merit. At least he himself does not have to bear the charge of poor military supervision. However, these only made him feel relieved and did not make him laugh. What really made him smile was the 10,000 taels of silver notes given by Lu Haoshan, which was a fortune, so Lu Jiude immediately became enthusiastic about Lu Haoshan.
As eunuchs, they cannot be fully polite. They have no children and no children, and they have no hope for life. For them, yellow rice (gold and silver) is what they want most. Lu Haoshan gave a piece of jade worth more than 100 taels in front of him, and turned around and gave another 10,000 taels of silver. It was so great that Lu Jiude smiled happily on the spot. Without Lu Haoshan's suggestion, he promised on the spot to give Lu Haoshan convenience in the future when suppressing bandits.
"Sir, what are this dead eunuch here for?" As soon as Lu Jiude left, Zhao Gongchang immediately walked up to him curiously and asked.
Lu Haoshan sneered: "After causing such a big disaster, we will naturally remedy it."
"Sir, have you agreed?" Li Dingguo said in a little unresolved manner: "Have you forgotten how these two bitches treated us?"
"Tell you a truth," Lu Haoshan said lightly: "In this world, there are no eternal enemies, no eternal friends, only eternal interests. As long as he pays enough benefits, why should I refuse? You must know that if this matter cannot completely defeat him, it will definitely attract his revenge. Even if it is overthrown, who has no connections? If his mentor, relatives and friends stand up for him, wouldn't we cause trouble?"
There are no eternal enemies, no eternal friends, only eternal interests. Li Dingguo silently recited this sentence in his heart, and his heart seemed to be moved. Although he didn't say much, it included a very good life philosophy or life insight. It made people feel refreshed when they heard it.
This is said so well.
Zhao Gongchang pointed to the carriage brought by Lu Jiude and said, "Sir, is that carriage the benefit of the king who bought us?"
Zhao Gongchang likes gold, silver and wealth very much. As soon as this carriage appears, Zhao Gongchang pays attention.
Lu Haoshan nodded and said happily: "That's right, this is the benefit we have received. Let's see what good things are together."
It's great, there's another investment. Zhao Gongchang and Li Dingguo went to look through with enthusiasm. Lu Haoshan walked behind, looking at the backs of the two guys, and secretly thought in his heart: Now with Wang Pu on his back, it's time to plan the next step, take the initiative, and try to find a reason to get out of the way before the winter.
Yes, that's it. (To be continued, please search for Piaotianwen, novels are better, updated and faster!
