Chapter 42 The big play
Xu Xian and Zhao Kuangyin were wrapped in the same smelly quilt, eyes wide open, waiting to witness the great historical moment, but it wasn't until he was woken up by Zhao Kuangyin that he realized that last night was extremely peaceful and nothing happened.
Tens of thousands of troops ate as usual, broke out of camp and continued on the road, crossed the Yellow River and headed north. After walking for a long time, they set up camp early as yesterday and continued drinking and carousing. I don't know where they got so much wine.
It was like this for several days in a row, but the atmosphere in the army began to change at some point. Even with good wine and meat in hand, it was inevitable to sigh, and I was not very happy when I won money while gambling. In short, it was very strange.
There was a bright bonfire all around, and a huge blanket was spread on the ground. Guo Wei sat at one end of the blanket. He was today's banker. He surrounded the school's soldiers, regardless of their rank, on three floors inside and three floors outside. As long as they had money, they could gamble.
Guo Wei blushed, holding three dice in his hand and shouted loudly, "Hurry up and buy it!"
Everyone around looked at Xu Xian, "Brother, we will follow you wherever you go!"
Xu Xian was just joining in the fun, but he was so lucky that he won dozens of coins in less than half an hour, and all the soldiers around him were affected by his luck.
"Then let's keep it small this time!"
Xu Xian said and threw a lot of money over, and all the soldiers followed him and bet on the small ones. Of course, there were also those who didn't believe in the evil and bet on the big ones.
"Are you all betting? I'm going to take action!" Guo Wei said and threw the three dice into the large white porcelain bowl in front of him. The three dice kept spinning at the bottom of the bowl for a long time.
I know he is an old gambler.
"Little! Little! Little!"
The longer the dice rotated, the more exciting it became. Even Guo Wei's eyes widened without blinking. When the dice stopped, he couldn't help laughing, "Haha, the leopard takes all! Old Mu
Give me all your money and keep it!"
The three dice in the bowl all showed four points, which was indeed a leopard. No one among the soldiers felt sorry for the money they had lost. On the contrary, everyone praised Guo Wei's good skills on his fingers.
Unexpectedly, a furry paw suddenly stretched out from Guo Wei's side and overturned the white porcelain bowl. When Guo Wei lifted the bowl, the three dice had changed the numbers.
"One, one, two, four o'clock! Taiwei pays for it!" All the soldiers held down the old soldier's collecting hand and begged Guo Wei for money.
Guo Wei pointed at A Bao's head with his finger, "What a fool, now I'm going to lose my pants!" A Bao looked up at him, with a confused look on his face that made him laugh.
As Guo Wei often said, his gambling products are very good and he will never default on his money if he loses, even if it is because of a small accident.
Immediately, he asked the veterans to take out the money and distributed it to the soldiers one by one. Those who got it happily prepared to follow Xu Xian to bet a few more coins. However, one person did not accept the money and muttered twice: "
Why does the Taiwei still work for the Liu family?"
As soon as he said this, the surrounding area immediately fell silent. Everyone looked at the soldier who was speaking. The soldier was very young and looked to be no more than eighteen or nineteen years old. At this moment, he seemed to have lost the courage he had just now, with a slight look on his face.
Nervous and timid.
Everyone looked at the young soldier, and then quickly looked at Guo Wei, their eyes full of expectation, as if they were waiting for him to say something inspiring.
Xu Xian was also very nervous at the side, thinking that he had finally arrived. Is this young soldier the sitter that Lao Guo had found? He was too young. He should find someone with more authority and weight.
Unexpectedly, Guo Wei said to the young soldier with a dark face: "You bastard! Since you don't want to play around with money, let's go your separate ways!" After saying that, he picked up Bao who was lying on the ground and turned away.
The rest of the people looked at each other and then sighed and went back to camp. Xu Xian was confused. What's going on? You, Guo Wei, have opened the sedan curtain. Why don't you get in the sedan?
An old soldier kicked the young soldier just now, "You are the only one who talks a lot. Now it's okay. I bet five hundred cents. I obviously won but got nothing."
Xu Xian walked over with a smile, "Brother, stay here!"
The old pawn turned his head and asked: "Aren't you the little brother who was very lucky just now? It's a pity that I didn't bet with you at the beginning, but in the end I bet with you, and I still haven't made any money. You think I'm unlucky or not?"
Xu Xian took out a lot of money and handed it to the old soldier, "Just think of it as me supplying it for you on behalf of the captain!"
"This... this is so embarrassing. Then I won't be polite. I don't think I am a member of the military."
"I raise pigs for the Taiwei. The black and white pig next to the Taiwei is raised by me."
"It turns out to be a pigherder. That pig looks quite silly. No wonder the Taiwei likes to hug it all day long. The Taiwei treats others with kindness. If you raise pigs for the Taiwei well, you will definitely have a future."
"I have something to ask my brother, why did this big brother say such rebellious words just now?"
The young soldier said angrily: "How treacherous is this? Not only do I, Wang Erbian, think so, but all the brothers in the army don't want the lieutenant to continue to work for the Liu family."
Seeing the young soldier's impulsive tone and lack of choice in speaking, Xu Xian immediately had an idea in his mind: this man was definitely not a trustee arranged by Guo Wei.
"Why is this? Brother, if you are willing, can you tell me."
Old Song smiled and said: "Why else? It's because the Taiwei is righteous and much better than the Emperor Liu."
Wang Erbian added: "Not only because the Taiwei was righteous, but also because we rebelled, killed the emperor, and robbed Bianliang City. If we continue to let someone named Liu become emperor, sooner or later we will have to settle accounts with us."
Xu Xian felt like a hole had been opened in his head, and he understood something at once. Zhao Kuangyin, Chen Qiao, and Chen Qiao turned into soldiers and wore yellow robes. Anyone who was not a fool could see that it was a pre-arranged drama, not to mention the yellow robe.
The robe was not thrown together in a hurry.
However, Guo Wei did not organize in advance. In other words, he had already planned it when he raised troops in Yedu. Killing the emperor and looting Bianliang City was his original goal, and then tied all the generals and soldiers to his chariot.
superior.
When they entered Bianliang City, they were not in a hurry to proclaim themselves emperor, because the soldiers did not realize that they had boarded a pirate ship with Guo Wei. When they knew that the Liu family would continue to dominate the country, fear and uneasiness would spread like a plague among the army.
It spread, slowly fermented, and finally exploded, sending Guo Wei to the throne.
If this is the case, then Guo Wei is simply terrible. If he is a famous director who makes international blockbusters and is also a planner and screenwriter, Zhao Kuangyin can only be regarded as a third-rate director making big online movies.
In the handsome tent, Guo Wei gently placed Ah Bao next to the warm fire pot and covered it with his own cloak, as if it were a frail baby.
Wang Jun said from the side: "What time has it been? Brother Guo still has the mind to play with animals."
Guo Wei had many confidants, but the only one who knew Guo Wei's plan was Wang Jun. In addition to their years of friendship, and because his family members were all killed by the emperor, Guo Wei could be trusted absolutely.
"Don't worry, the heat is still a little bit low."
"There's no hurry, we will enter the territory of Chanzhou tomorrow. We have to fight with the Khitans and there is no way to escape. It will be even more troublesome if we wait for Feng Dao to take Liu Yun into Bianliang."
Guo Wei waved his hand and said, "Don't be afraid! That old ghost understands what I'm thinking and won't go too fast on the road."
"If Brother Guo can follow the example of the soldier just now and say something ambiguous, it will be enough to win the support of everyone."
"These generals and soldiers have supported many emperors on a whim, but a few of them have ended well. If they don't understand and are not determined enough, they will switch sides when Liu Chong comes to crusade."
"How about I add more fire to them tomorrow?"
