Chapter 96 Untitled
"This--" Cheng Fu wanted to introduce it, but he concluded that he didn't know whether to expose Liu Yingying's true identity or help cover it up, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
"I'm here Liu Yong, I've met General Meng." Liu Yingying bowed and introduced herself: "I am General Liu's nephew. At the order of the General, I lead the army to help the war."
When his nephew Meng Jiucheng heard Liu Yingying's words, he was a little confused. Although he pretended to be rough, he seemed strange. He couldn't help but look carefully and understand it in his heart.
Tell! When acting in a movie, women dress up as men and treat others as blind?
Meng Jiucheng saw it, but did not expose it. He bowed his hand and smiled and said, "Thank you General Liu, it's a blessing for General Liu."
If you are the general, you have to add a small word. How old do you look?
Liu Yingying felt a little unhappy, but she didn't show it. She just remembered the matter of asking for a telescope, so she spoke: "General Liu liked the Qianli Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile sent by General Meng very much. I heard that it is very precious. I specially ordered General Meng to thank General Meng for the money needed. Please also ask General Meng to say it clearly."
"God of General, please be polite." Meng Jiucheng felt that this was not simple, but he could not help but express it, and said slowly: "This is a sign of respect for the general, and a certain intention. When it comes to money, he underestimated Meng."
"Yes!" Peng Yibin also felt that Mrs. Liu was inappropriate, so he interrupted and said, "As the saying goes, courtesy is less important than friendship and friendship. General Meng is more important than courtesy, affection is more important than friendship. How can he measure it with money?"
Liu Yingying felt a little confused and secretly blamed herself for being too anxious, but she had already started talking, so she said straight, "I'm not surprised by the words. In fact, the general means that the Qianli Jing is very useful in military combat. If General Meng has a way to get it, the general is willing to buy it at a high price and share it with the generals."
Meng Jiucheng lowered his eyelids, pondered for a while, smiled bitterly, and said, "Since it is necessary for the general, Meng offered two more aircraft, and it is difficult to use them with the generals. The general of the Good Teachings knew that this thing was flowing from overseas and was offered by a sea merchant that was blown to the coast by the wind and waves. Not to mention the Central Plains, there was no place in the Southern Song Dynasty. If you want to get it again, you don't know when the year or month, then the sea merchant will come again. I don't know if he can find a place to dock. According to my opinion, the sea is vast, but it is difficult."
Such random fabrications immediately made Peng Yibin and Cheng Fu feel that the things in their hands were extremely precious and precious, and they were not worth buying them with money!
Liu Yingying didn't feel that she was so happy. But she was not stupid. Meng Jiucheng said so preciously and rarely, are you embarrassed to ask for it? Everyone can hear it as a polite word. There is a price but no market, so you have to express it?
"General Meng is generous, and a certain generation of general thanked him first." Liu Yingying bowed and said, "Since this thing is so precious and rare, how can the general receive his salary without success? In this way, when Yizhou is captured, the general's capture will be given to General Meng. The meaning of a little thanks is not as high as the price of the treasure. General Meng should not dislike it."
Meng Jiucheng was not pretentious and bowed back and said, "Since it was the general's intention, Meng was ashamed of the command."
Cheng Fu opened his mouth and closed it helplessly. He thought Liu Yingying was too impatient and promised too hasty. He didn't know how many were seized, so why didn't he want it? He looked at Liu Yingying with a wry smile, with some complaints in his heart.
"There is another thing." Liu Yingying saw Cheng Fu's expression, but she was wrong. She said a little embarrassedly to Meng Jiucheng: "Can those stone throwers be sold to our army? The price is-"
Meng Jiucheng waved his hand and said, "Don't negotiate the price. The two armies work together to fight against the Jin army together. This is the top priority, and it is also necessary to communicate whether there is or not. Not only will your army be left behind, but even the drawings will be given to your army. Build more in the future, whether to attack the Jin army or defend. As long as you can attack the Jin army, Meng will have to get what you want."
"General Meng - I'm so generous and generous..." Liu Yingying didn't expect that Meng Jiucheng was so easy to talk to, and didn't know how to express her gratitude for a moment.
"If General Meng has something to do, just speak." Peng Yibin is also a straightforward man. He feels guilty of accepting it and always has to express something to be at ease.
Meng Jiucheng pretended to be pondering before saying, "Our army needs sulfur and yellow flames. Whether to buy it for price or exchange it for things, it can be made."
"Then exchange things for them!" Cheng Fu was smarter and felt that gold and silver had little effect. Physical objects such as food, armor, and weapons were what the Rebels needed more.
"Apart from food, everything else can be exchanged." Meng Jiucheng was not stupid, and immediately eliminated the food. He cried and said: "Forgive me, our army's food and grass are very embarrassed. This time, the battle is only enough for these five thousand people to chew, and it cannot be delayed."
"Yes, the food is getting more and more in short supply." Peng Yibin nodded and sighed in agreement.
As he was talking, the personal guard came in to report that it was dinner in the army.
"Meng asked you to have dinner here, and I hope you will not be too crude." Meng Jiucheng laughed and invited him. Seeing everyone agreeing, he ordered his personal soldiers to bring the meal.
The food is very simple, including mixed grain rice, kelp soup, and a steamed dried sea fish. Eat the sea from the sea. Although the yield is insufficient, the army is the first to benefit.
"Don't General Meng drink? Drinking a little will not delay military affairs, right?" Liu Yingying was used to the style of the generals of the rebel army. Seeing that there was only food, she couldn't help but be curious.
"Forgive me, our army did not bring wine." Meng Jiucheng apologized embarrassedly and explained: "Also, the prohibition of alcohol has been implemented in the land occupied by our army. The main reason is that food is short of food and there is not enough people to eat, so it is a waste to make wine."
"This is a solution." Peng Yibin blurted out, slapped his thigh, and said, "You can also order a ban on alcohol in Yizhou."
Liu Yingying looked at Cheng Fu, and both of them smiled bitterly. Although banning alcohol can save food, it can only be implemented in areas controlled by Liu Erzu's direct troops, and it will cause complaints from many generals. As for other armed forces, they may only be voluntarily.
"General Meng, what is this?" Cheng Fu used chopsticks to pick up the kelp silk in the soup and changed the topic by asking.
"Oh, this is called kelp." Meng Jiucheng explained with a smile: "It can be picked at the beach and it is extremely resistant to storage after drying. This fish is also produced in the sea. If you try it, it is quite different from the taste of freshwater fish."
Liu Yingying chewed slowly, nodded gently, and said, "If you want to say something different, it seems that the fishy smell is not heavy."
"Haha, this is the same!" Meng Jiucheng said with a smile: "By the way, Meng has another thing to ask for. You will fight in the future. If you seize the ship, you can sell it to Meng at a price."
"General Meng wants to catch fish and shrimp to relieve the food shortage?" Peng Yibin picked out a fish bone and said in confusion: "I'm afraid it's not easy, right?"
Meng Jiucheng didn't want to say it in depth and replied ambiguously: "It's always a solution, although it's not easy."
The sea is a bit fascinating!
Liu Yingying thought to herself, stirred up the soup bowl, and looked at the dark green kelp silk and was a little dazzled.
