Chapter 104 His surname is Gu, his name is Jingzhi, and his nickname is Jiaqian Jushi!
Looking at Gu Jingzhi walking out of the tent in a rage, Baili Gongshu felt a long-lost feeling of pain in his balls.
"Master Gu's ability to be the first to file a complaint... is truly astonishing!"
Baili Gongshu said sarcastically, "If Lord Gu truly cared about the loyalty of our alliance, why did you cut off our army's food supplies? Burning the food supplies of over a hundred thousand soldiers without a second thought, doesn't your conscience hurt?"
conscience?
What is that?
Gu Jingzhi glared at him, "Prime Minister Baili said that I disregarded the loyalty of our alliance? Then what did your General Nangong Shouyi of Beili do? My delegation just arrived in Yunzhou, so it would be fine if I didn't ask him to greet us, but he did..."
"Bring over ten thousand cavalrymen to form a battle array outside the city, sabers pointed southward... Is this how you, Beili, treat your allies?"
"..."
He also heard about Nangong Shouyi's first meeting with the Daxia delegation. To be honest, he was helpless.
only……
"Master Gu, although General Nangong's behavior was inappropriate, he has been in the military for half his life. It's normal for him to feel uncomfortable signing the city handover documents in a battle where he has never lost!"
"Why would you let people burn my army's food supplies?"
Baili Gongshu said angrily.
It would have been fine if he hadn't mentioned it. As soon as he did, Gu Jingzhi flew into a rage: "Is he just feeling guilty for a moment? I don't think he is. It's a good thing my army went to Xiling. If we hadn't gone, I wouldn't have known that you Beili people are still continuously supplying food and fodder to Yunzhou!"
"???"
Baili Gongshu was stunned!
When Gu Jingzhi burned the army's food supplies, he had not yet returned to Beili Capital, so some things were not very clear to him.
Gu Jingzhi continued angrily, "The Yunzhou army's stockpiles of food and fodder in Xiling should have lasted at least half a month. However, after our army burned the food and fodder, we discovered a Beili grain transport team. Wow... they actually had enough food and fodder for a full 150,000-man army for a month..."
"Are you forming an alliance? You're clearly preparing for war!"
"There is absolutely no such possibility..."
Baili Gongshu was not to be outdone and started to curse at Gu Jingzhi directly.
Although he was not very clear about this, what Gu Jingzhi said did not seem to be false, but...
Even if it is true, it can only be fake now!
The two of them just stood at the camp gate and started arguing. After a while, Gu Jingzhi asked someone to bring a kettle to moisten his dry throat, which left Baili Gongshu speechless.
He rushed all the way to Gu Jingzhi's place, but before he could even drink a sip of tea, he was stopped at the camp gate and scolded.
The key point is that Gu Jingzhi was so thirsty that he only cared about drinking water himself and didn't even take care of the old man. He really has no manners at all.
Are there such allies in this world?
An Ning, who was watching the two quarreling, said awkwardly, "Sir, Prime Minister Baili is a guest from afar. How about we go in for a face-to-face meeting?"
"What's this about?"
Gu Jingzhi glanced at him and said, "Master Baili and I are good friends. During our time in the capital of Daxia, we have already forged a deep friendship, right, Master Baili..."
"..."
The corner of Baili Gongshu's mouth twitched.
Isn't it just a deep friendship?
If it weren't for such a deep friendship, could you have extorted five states from me?
"However, what you said does make some sense. Lord Baili is now indeed a guest. Please come in..."
Baili Gongshu: "..."
……
Inside the tent.
Gu Jingzhi and Baili Gongshu sat on each side.
"Master Baili, no matter what, our delegation was not even allowed to enter the city gate. Nangong Shouyi's actions are suspected of humiliating our Great Xia. Your Excellency cannot deny this, right?"
"But Lord Gu also burned the army's food and fodder, which can be considered a win. Moreover, Lingzhou, Daizhou, Huangzhou, and Xuanzhou have been handed over to the Great Xia Army according to Lord Gu's wishes, which can be considered as fulfilling the terms of the alliance!"
Baili Gongshu did not emphasize the nonsense that Gu Jingzhi himself did not want to enter the city, but directly brought up the issue of food and fodder, trying to get away with it!
Gu Jingzhi laughed and said, "That's not what I meant!"
"Oh? Then I wonder what Master Gu has to say?"
"Beili was disrespectful first. Our Great Xia Dragon Flag represents our Great Xia and His Majesty the Emperor... Even if Nangong Shouyi is an outsider, he is still a minister!"
Gu Jingzhi first put a big hat on me, then continued, "The alliance between our two countries states that once all cities are delivered and the Beili Army withdraws from our territory, the alliance will take effect immediately!"
"Nangong Shouyi is unwilling to fulfill his promise, so I ordered my army to cut off his food supply, simply to make him pay the price for the Beili Army's arrogance!"
"But the city has now been handed over..."
"Master Baili..."
Gu Jingzhi raised his voice and said, "You must understand that the handover of the five states is an agreement in the alliance between you and me. The so-called agreement is a resolution reached through friendly consultations without fighting!"
"But now... it seems like these five states have been recaptured by my army!"
"You are using strong words to make sense!"
Baili Gongshu angrily said, "Didn't the four regions of Lingzhou, Daizhou, Huangzhou, and Xuanzhou rotate their defenses under General Nangong's orders?"
"That was his compromise after he ran out of food!"
Gu Jingzhi narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "If my border troops had not marched north and the Beili army had not been cut off from food supplies, would Nangong Shouyi have surrendered?"
"The generals of Beili ignored our dragon flag. Our soldiers were courteous and benevolent... Not only did we not send troops to attack, but we actually kept them fed for half a month. Not to mention the countless money and food we spent, just this kindness... Does Daxia deserve to feel sorry for you, Beili?"
"..."
Baili Gongshu remained silent.
Although Gu Jingzhi's words were full of twisted logic, after hearing what he said, Bei Li was indeed not right.
First he was rude, then his food supplies were taken away, and he had to eat other people's food for half a month.
It is said that one who eats someone's food will be grateful... Daxia was very kind and righteous by not sending troops directly to destroy Beili's 150,000 troops!
Baili Gongshu said, "Then I wonder what Master Gu wants?"
"To call it a demand is too much. You and I are allies...it should be called a request!"
When Gu Jingzhi heard Baili Gongshu agree, his expression immediately changed.
"..."
Baili Gongshu was too lazy to argue with him and said directly: "Master Gu, please speak!"
"it is good!"
Gu Jingzhi said, "His Majesty the Emperor of our dynasty is particularly angry about Beili's disrespectful behavior, so... some conditions must be added to the previous alliance!"
"Master Gu, just speak directly!"
Baili Gongshu looked at Gu Jingzhi calmly. Before he came, he had already thought that Gu Jingzhi would definitely take the opportunity to blackmail him, so he was not surprised at all to hear him say this!
Gu Jingzhi smiled and said, "It's nothing, actually. It's just that the five states we had before are no longer viable, and we have to add Yuzhou to the list. The war horses in Yunzhou City are too hungry to walk anyway, so why not just stay in Yunzhou City?"
"what?"
Even though he was prepared for a huge demand, he didn't expect Gu Jingzhi to ask for a state and 100,000 war horses, not including the 50,000 horses he had asked for before!
He stared at Gu Jingzhi.
Gu Jingzhi was not to be outdone, and said word by word: "I mean... to add money..."
