Chapter 03: Ask Chen for allegiance
After the convoy passed through the pear sheep warehouse, it went all the way to the south, and when it was about to approach the county, it walked into the desolate mountain under the puzzled gaze of passers-by on both sides. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
After more than an hour of twisting and turning, the convoy finally reached its destination.
"Yes, how strange is this great country? Such a magnificent city has been built in the middle of this barren mountain range. Don't say it, this city is awesome! And it's the same as new. Wukong looked up at the hanging city above him, built between the two mountain peaks, and he said in admiration.
"My lord, that city is just a spectacle. It's just a giant trap that I spent 50,000 gold coins to build more than a month ago. Mao Wenchen looked at the city above his head and said with a complicated expression.
As soon as Wukong heard this, he immediately turned his head in shock, and asked Mao Wenchen loudly: "How much do you say? 50,000! This is not right? 10,000 gold coins, can you hire more than 100,000 soldiers and horses? This and this, this is too cheap, right? Q Chen, ...... "Until this time, Wukong still thought that Mao Wenchen had hired more than 100,000 people when he went north this time.
For Mao Wenchen's 20,000 extinguished taste at the beginning, Wukong has always thought that it is just an exaggeration, besides, he has gold coins, and spending money to hire troops is not a problem at all, so why does Mao Wenchen hire more samurai, why does he save money for Wukong?
Now that he has reached the giant trap, there is no need for Mao Wenchen to hide anything, he took out a small horn from his arms and whined.
As the horn sounded, on the ground below the suspended city, huge lids were suddenly lifted, revealing more than a dozen large holes.
Then, one after another, the short laborers, covered in grief and dirt, came out of the hole in a disorderly manner, in groups of three or five, like herding sheep.
"Queue up, greet the lord!" Mao Wenchen's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he shouted angrily at these laborers.
"You stand over there!" "Get out, this is my position!" "Ergou, you're in the wrong position, stand here!" "Xiao Zhang, Xiao Zhang, I have grabbed a good position, come here!" "Lao Tzu still has work to do......! , Wukong was dumbfounded, looking at the more than 10,000 laborers who had become a pot of porridge in front of him, he had nothing to say.
"After 10 sounds, if the front legion has not yet lined up, they will beat me to death...... Two!....... Mao Wenchen was furious and began to shout loudly.
Although he had given the order to die, it was of no use at all.
As Mao Wenchen began to report the number one by one, more than 10,000 laborers not only did not line up the queue, but they became more nervous and panicked because they were afraid of corporal punishment, and the entire queue of 10,000 people was of course even more chaotic.
"Ten--! Beat me to death--Let them have a longer memory in the future-!" Mao Wenchen ordered loudly in a rage.
"Wait-!Give me back-!...... , don't line up yet. If someone wants to sit down, just find a place to sit down. Wukong happily preached out to all the laborers.
All the laborers looked at Wukong in fear, as well as the fierce Demon Lin warriors behind him, and none of the laborers dared to say a word casually, or move around.
"Hey, why are you all looking at me stupidly? Everybody sitting! It's okay, I'm your employer. Here, I'll have the final say!" Goku said to the laborers with a smile.
"Doll, are you telling the truth, are you our lord?" asked a short, middle-aged man who looked very strong, and asked Wukong in a loud voice.
"Bold-!How dare you ......!" Mao Wenchen just wanted to punish the other party.
Wukong waved his hand at him and said, "Forget it, forget it, what's the big deal? Don't be afraid, everyone should not be afraid, everything I just said is true." Everyone, rest assured, sit down!" After reassuring the laborers, he walked to Mao Wenchen's side.
"Q Chen, they are not soldiers, why are you so harsh on them? You, you are too serious. By the way, what about the legions you have prepared for me? It's all at this time, do you still have something to hide? Let them stand up, and I'll take a good look at it. Wukong was full of anticipation and said to Mao Wenchen.
Mao Wenchen looked at the mess of more than 10,000 laborers in front of him, he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and then stiffened his head, bowed his head and stammered to the lord: "Return, return to the lord, this ...... , the newly established Demon Beaver Legion and the Demon Snake Legion are all here. He bowed his head deeply, not daring to look at the face of the lord at this time.
"It's all here? Where are they? Why didn't I find out? Amazing! It's worthy of a well-paid samurai, and this hidden skill is absolutely first-class! Okay, I've recognized their level, so let them all come out. After Wukong turned his head and gave an order to Mao Wenchen, he quickly began to look around, so that he could be ready to meet the two major armies that would be famous in the world in the future.
"Lord...... They...... , that's, that's it, those two legions. Mao Wenchen bent down and pointed to the group of laborers, and whispered in fear.
"They? I still haven't seen it...... you, you don't mean that, he, they, right?" Wukong stammered, and after he finished speaking, cold sweat flowed down his head.
"That's them. The lord, these 10,000 top construction workers in the world, is the demon beaver army who has eaten the barrage dam. And the five thousand green-clothed healers were the Demon Snake Legion who had eaten the Dream Demon Snake Pill. It's all come to this, and Mao Wenchen is completely open, and he calmly explained to Wukong.
Wukong's hands trembled, staring at his eyes, those giggling, messy laborers, he took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, and said to Mao Wenchen in a deep voice: "I said, I will leave everything in the future to you." So, I believe you, ask Chen, do I need to talk to them?"
Although Wukong is not optimistic at all, these two legions are not even as good as miscellaneous soldiers, although he is already nervous at this time, and he is about to pass out, but he really has not felt angry or annoyed at what Mao Wenchen has done, and he really doesn't even have a little bit.
He knew that Mao Wenchen was much smarter than him, too much, if he could see at a glance the Achilles heel of these two legions, then there is no doubt that Mao Wenchen must also be aware of it!
Since Mao Wenchen has now chosen to use these two legions to fight this battle, then he must have his own reasons, but his reasons are not understandable to him.
Wukong doesn't believe that Mao Wenchen will harm himself, and he doesn't believe that Mao Wenchen didn't do his best, he believes that Mao Wenchen is worth reusing, and believes that Mao Wenchen is loyal, so since he has chosen to believe in Mao Wenchen, why should he doubt the other party in turn, instead of supporting the other party with all his strength and boldness?
"Lordship!Chen...... , If I have the slightest thought of being unfaithful to you in this life, I will be destroyed by heaven and earth, and I will not be able to die well! Lord, thank you!" After Mao Wenchen finished speaking with tears streaming down his face, he bowed to Wukong very solemnly and seriously.
Strategists can be said to be the most arrogant group of people in the world, and it is far more difficult to make a great strategist die of sincere allegiance than winning several battles in a row.
Jing Jiashi just treats Wukong as a little puppet, Xu Shiji is just that, there is no good choice, Li Baiyao's allegiance is Du Fuwei, he only treats Wukong as a child.
These three strategists have never been loyal to Wukong, if Wukong comes to the end of the road in the future, they will definitely choose to abandon Wukong, and go away without hesitation, and there will be no nostalgia at all.
If you don't even understand this truth, don't even have the courage to go, and can't even see whether the monarch is worthy of allegiance, then is it still worthy of being called a great strategist?
Mao Wenchen is the same, before this incident, although he felt that Wukong was very good to him, but in the final analysis, he just used Wukong as a springboard platform where he could show his talents.
Wukong is now so bold and unreserved to trust him and fully support him, which is something that Mao Wenchen didn't expect at all at the beginning, so he was so panicked at the beginning, for fear that Wukong would blame him and make him have nothing again.
At this time, Mao Wenchen was real, and he was moved by Wukong, so his brain was hot, so he directly pledged his allegiance to Wukong.
Does he regret it now, it is indeed a little regretful, but once the Great Strategist is loyal, it is absolute loyalty, and from now on, there will definitely be no second heart.
From the moment of allegiance, he will never abandon his lord, bow to his best, and die!
In this way, he can be worthy of that virtuous word, otherwise, how can the glorious title of virtuous minister be so easy and well-deserved?
