Chapter 8 Gamble

Half an hour later, Xiaoqi arrived with his war horse.

Half an hour later, Ma Scarface, who was ambushing the main traffic road around the manor, also came back, and indeed brought back dozens of heads. When the bearded man attacked the manor, these dozens of Jiannu had already climbed over the wall and slipped away when they saw the opportunity. If Wang Pu hadn't prepared to set up a net of heaven and earth around, these guys would have really ruined the big thing.

Although there were only children and old men in Shengjing City, if Jiannu had been prepared in advance and the red cannons mounted on the top of the city were bombarded, Wang Pu, a thousand servants, would have almost become cannon fodder. This is not an unfair worry. Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi, after Kong Youde surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he also brought the powerful red cannon to Jiannu. Since Shengjing was Jiannu's nest, there would have to be more than ten or twenty gates on the top of the city.

Sudala's two upper rooms have now become Wang Pu's general headquarters.

The torches in the gear are clear, and Wang Puzheng and Xiaoqi, scar-faced and bearded man discuss matters.

Wang Pu asked the bearded man, "Have the open and secret cards been arranged?"

"All have been arranged." The bearded man said, patting his chest, "General, don't worry, even if you keep a mouse, you can't escape."

"Yes." Wang Pu nodded, pondered for a moment and said to Xiaoqi, "Xiaoqi, you can go to the people later to select dozens of young and strong people and distribute the captured Jiannu weapons to them. After we leave tomorrow morning, we will let them protect Zhuangzi by themselves."

"Don't take them away?" Xiaoqi said with some helplessness, "As soon as the Jiannu army comes back, they will definitely die."

"The kindness of a woman!" Wang Pu shouted in a deep voice, "If you take them away, you will survive? If you really want to take them, everyone will die."

Xiaoqi was silent.

Wang Pu turned to the bearded man and said, "Big bearded man, go and select a hundred strong brothers, let them have a good meal of wine and meat, and then have a good night's sleep. Wake them up after two hours, let them put on the armor stripped from Jiannu, and go with me before dawn to trick Shengjing Gate."

"yes."

The bearded man agreed to leave with a loud strode.

Xiaoqi said: "General, do you want your brothers to pretend to be Jiannu cavalry and trick the city gate?"

"Yes." Wang Pu said, "But there is still one person left."

Scarface asked, "Who?"

Wang Pu said: "A person who can understand Manchu and speak Manchu."

"Ah?" Xiao Qi said in a lost voice, "The brothers don't understand Manchu language. Why don't you ask the Han people outside and see who can speak Manchu language?"

"No need to ask." Wang Pu shook his head and said, "How could these Han people be locked in the circle by Jiannu like animals? How could they learn to speak Manchu?"

Xiaoqi said: "What should I do?"

"A person may come in handy." Wang Pu said: "Xiaoqi, bring Zhen Youcai with you."

Xiaoqi took the order and quickly carried Zhen Youcai in like a chicken. When he entered the door, he threw Zhen Youcai on the ground, shouting with murderous intent: "General, Zhen Youcai has brought it."

Wang Pu shouted in a deep voice: "Zhen Youcai, you are so brave!"

Zhen Youcai shivered excitedly and said repeatedly: "I dare not, villains dare not."

Wang Pu shouted: "Didn't you say there are only more than 300 Jiannu in the village, and they are all old, weak, sick and disabled?"

"Yes, yes." Zhen Youcai nodded, "There are only more than 300 elderly, weak, sick and disabled in the village."

"Nonsense." Wang Pu slapped the table and said sternly, "There are obviously more than 100 cavalry of Jiannu Iron Cavalry in the village. I almost suffered a great loss if I don't know the details. I said, why are you cheating me?"

"Ah? This..." Zhen Youcai's face turned pale in an instant, and he said in a trembling voice, "Little... the little guy really doesn't know."

"I dare to argue." Wang Pu shouted, "Come here, drag this guy out and chop it into meat paste to feed the horse!"

"yes!"

Scarface and Xiaoqi responded loudly, and rushed up to raise Zhen Youcai and left. Zhen Youcai was so scared that he was so scared that he fainted. A pungent smell of urine spread in the air. Scarface kicked Zhen Youcai's butt and laughed and scolded: "Hahaha, General, this guy is really useless. He was so scared that he peed his pants."

Xiaoqi said: "General, it seems that this kid really doesn't know."

Wang Pu said expressionlessly: "Wake him up."

Scarface found a basin of cold water and poured it on Zhen Youcai's face. Zhen Youcai shouted and suddenly woke up: "Don't, don't kill me!"

"It's okay if you don't kill you." Wang Pu said, "But you have to be honest, will you speak Manchu?"

"Yes, know a little." Zhen Youcai nodded repeatedly, "The villain can say a few commonly used Manchu words."

"Hahaha……"

Wang Pu looked at Xiaoqi and Scarface again. The three of them laughed at the same time.

Zhen Youcai was so scared that the three of them laughed, and asked, "The general laughed...why are you laughing? The little guy doesn't...didn't he lie."

"It's good if you haven't lie." Wang Pu shouted, "Xiao Qi, take Mr. Zhen down to rest."

"yes."

Xiao Qi responded with a loud promise, stepped forward and picked up Zhen Youcai and left. Zhen Youcai hurriedly hugged Xiao Qi's strong arm, begging for mercy, "General... General, be gentle... gentle, the villain's neck is so tight..."

When Xiaoqi walked away with Zhen Youcai so much that he could not see it, Scarface asked Wang Pu with some concern: "General, are you planning to let Zhen Youcai call the door?"

Wang Pu nodded and said, "Now there is no other choice, only he can speak Manchu."

Scarface said, "But we can't understand Manyu either. If this kid doesn't call the door and reminds Jiannu who is guarding the city, then we will be done."

"At this point, I can only gamble." Wang Pu punched the table hard and said in a deep voice, "This Zhen Youcai is really a master who is not afraid of death. He is willing to lose his life for Jiannu. I will admit defeat this time!"

Scarface felt a stern when he heard this, and couldn't help but secretly glance at Wang Pu with a strange look, thinking that the general had really changed. Since he fell off the bank last time and was rescued by his brothers, the general was like a different person. The current general is not only very independent in encountering problems, but also cruel and ruthless even he, a bandit from a rampant background, sighs.

But then again, Scarface admires Wang Pu's current style of conduct. Scarface feels that the general now looks like a big thing, unlike before, just a young master Yangzi who is not good at it.
