Bandit Camp

Chapter 87 Negotiations
(Today is the 77th anniversary of the 78 Marco Polo Bridge Incident, and a new chapter is added to commemorate it.)
Even though the little Japan outside used all kinds of methods to tempt, Ye Tufei would not respond at all, and told the brothers to hurry up and take turns to rest.

As dawn approached, Shin Takahashi finally arrived.

Just when Gao Qiaoxin took over the loudspeaker handed over by Liu Yujie who had been in charge of shouting, Ye Tufei suddenly woke up from his sleep. He opened the window and watched with great interest the crowd outside the yard illuminated by the noisy torches .

Nobu Takahashi took the trumpet, raised it to his mouth but put it down again, turned around and went to the head of the division and muttered a lot.

In just a few minutes, the night before dawn finally faded, and the sky revealed a white belly.

What Gao Qiaoxin wanted to say to the head of the division was approved by the head of the division. He seemed quite confident. He walked to the gate of the courtyard and just wanted to raise the horn to shout, but he saw that the closed gate was slowly opening. opened.

Afterwards, Gao Qiaoxin saw Ye Tufei who made him sleepless.

"You're still here? That's right. How can Jiajiawang be as lively as Xuzhou City?" Facing Nobu Takahashi and the countless Japanese troops behind him, Ye Tufei showed no signs of nervousness, and followed with a smile. Shin Takahashi greeted and joked.

Gao Qiaoxin's face changed three times in a row, first he was surprised, then nervous, and finally returned to nature.He smiled, and answered Ye Tufei, "A place with Mr. Ye will naturally be lively."

Ye Tufei smiled and said, "It's not enough to have Sixth Master Ye alone. In fact, Sixth Master Ye is a person who likes to be quiet. Only when he meets someone like Mr. Takahashi will he like to be lively."

Takahashi Shin laughed and said, "It makes sense, it makes sense! However, since Mr. Ye Liu likes to be quiet, we might as well try to find peace in the midst of the disturbance. How about a game of Go?"

Ye Tufei shrugged slightly, and said: "This idea is very good. Since Mr. Gao Qiao has such a taste, and sixth master, I prefer the beauty of an adult. Hehe, let's play a game!"

Shin Takahashi waved his hand behind him, and immediately two soldiers ran back to the chess set.

Gao Qiaoxin took two steps closer to Ye Tufei, and said, "This game of chess may be the most interesting game in history, and Mr. Ye Liu doesn't want to add to the icing on the cake, and add some legendary color to this game?"

Ye Tufei smiled and said: "I said, Ye Liuye likes the beauty of adults the most, Mr. Gao Qiao can tell you what you think, as long as it is interesting, I will agree to it."

Gao Qiaoxin narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "How about we make a bet?"

Ye Tufei smiled and said: "You win, I, Ye Tufei, will be yours! If you lose, you will be left with Gao Qiaoxin!"

Shin Takahashi shook his head slightly, and said, "Why is it so bloody? We only bet on the hostages inside, how about it?"

Ye Tufei shrugged and said, "A hostage? Oh, since you think he is a hostage, then he is a hostage. Tell me, how do you want to bet?"

Gao Qiaoxin thought for a while, and said: "I won, you released the hostages, I guarantee that you and your brothers will leave Xuzhou City safely, oh, including those from Jia Jiawang."

Ye Tufei took out a cigar, lit it, and said, "What if you lose?"

Gao Qiao said: "If I lose, in addition to the conditions I just mentioned, you can also ask me three demands, oh, the hostages are at the disposal of Ye Liuye."

Ye Tufei took a puff of his cigar lightly, exhaled the smoke slowly, and said, "Do you think you will win this game?"

Shin Takahashi nodded and said, "Of course, Ye Liuye, you seem to have the upper hand, but you are actually in a state of uncertainty, because you don't know how valuable a Japanese lieutenant general is in this game."

At this time, Little Japan had already moved tables and chairs, and placed them between the two of them, two chairs made of rattan, and a small round table made of mahogany.The two soldiers who ran back to the chess set also came back, panting heavily, and placed the chess set on the small round table.

Ye Tufei pulled a wicker chair and sat down, then motioned to Gao Qiaoxin to sit down and talk.

After Takahashi Shin sat down, Ye Tufei smoked a cigar and replied, "Mr. Takahashi is well versed in the knowledge of psychology. Yes, I really don't know how much that Lieutenant General's Chief of Staff is worth."

While speaking, Ye Tufei opened the lid of the jar containing the chess pieces, grabbed a handful of chess pieces, and placed them on the chessboard.This is the rule of chess selection in the game of Go, which is called guessing first.

Nobu Takahashi nodded with a smile, twisted a chess piece out of another chess piece pot, and placed it gently on the chessboard, meaning, I guess the number of chess pieces in your hand is an odd number.

Ye Tufei let go of his hand and began to count the numbers. While counting, he said: "In the hearts of you Japanese, one Japanese soldier is worth more than ten Chinese soldiers. The reason for reducing the number of casualties. Oh, Mr. Takahashi, you guessed it, you go black first!"

Saying that, Ye Tufei pushed the black pot on his side to Gao Qiaoxin, and exchanged it for the white pot in front of Gao Qiaoxin.

The two placed chess pieces on the two star positions on the right hand side, and then Nobuo Takahashi twisted a black chess piece, which directly hit the Tianyuan in the middle of the chessboard.

"What Ye Liu said is reasonable. In the hearts of the Japanese, the value of one soldier is definitely higher than the value of ten Chinese soldiers, or even higher. But Ye Liu, don't forget that the Japanese are deeply loved by Bushido. Spiritual immersion, as long as it is for the benefit of the empire, from ordinary soldiers to division generals, they are all willing to sacrifice themselves."

Ye Tufei twirled a white ball, and stopped in mid-air, as if he was thinking about something.After stopping for about half a minute, he suddenly threw the chess piece back into the chess piece jar, took two puffs of his cigar, and said, "I don't have tea when I play chess, so why don't I feel anything at all!"

Takahashi Shin smiled, and called the soldiers behind him to make arrangements.

But Ye Tufei waved his hand and said: "No need, since the chief of staff of your army is willing to sacrifice his life for the Emperor of Japan, then this gamble is unnecessary, let's solve the problem in the most manly way, we are waiting for your attack at any time."

After speaking, Ye Tufei stood up and was about to turn around and go back.

Nobu Takahashi sighed heavily behind him, and said, "Okay, you won this game! I admit that we cannot give up the life of the chief of staff of the division."

Ye Tufei turned around and said, "Mr. Gao Qiao has always been extremely intelligent, how could he use such a cheap trick to deceive an old friend? It seems that Mr. Gao Qiao is very dishonest!"

Nobu Takahashi had a bitter face, and replied: "Nobu Takahashi has no choice but to carry out the request of the head of the division."

Ye Tufei sat back, took a sip of his cigar, took the teacup from Takahashi Xin, lifted the lid of the teacup, and took a sip.Gao Qiaoxin looked at Ye Tufei who looked calm, and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will poison the tea?"

Ye Tufei laughed loudly, drank the tea in the cup, and said, "If I was afraid, I wouldn't come. If you want to kill me first, you don't have to go to such trouble."

Takahashi Nobun took a long sigh and said, "It seems that I should listen to Ye Liuye's suggestion seriously."

Ye Tufei said: "Suggestions, I dare not, I just want to make some requests to Mr. Gao Qiao."

Takahashi said: "Please give orders to Ye Liuye."

Ye Tufei said: "First, release the hero of Erlang Mountain who was detained by you in Jia's Wang."

Shin Takahashi nodded and said, "Well, this request is not too much, what about the second one?"

Ye Tufei picked up a white piece, clicked it near Tianyuan on the chessboard, and took down the black piece of Tianyuan, saying: "First do the first, let's talk about the second."

Takahashi Xin stubbornly placed another black stone on the Tianyuan point, and removed the white stone that Ye Tufei just clicked, and said: "Let's put everything on the table and explain it clearly, and then implement it one, two, three. Mr. Ye Liu, it's not whether I, Takahashi Xin, believe you or not, but Gao Qiaoxin is not the highest official in Xuzhou City after all, in case you, the second, make unreasonable demands..."

Ye Tufei laughed and said: "Mr. Gao Qiao's heart is really strong. He is so passive and can maintain such a meticulous mind. I really admire Ye. Well, I will put all the requirements on the table."

Shin Takahashi made a gesture of invitation.

Ye Tufei said: "After I've confirmed the safety of the brothers over there at Jiajiawang, you have to release the brothers here as well."

Nobu Takahashi looked distressed and said, "Then how to ensure the safety of the chief of staff?"

Ye Tufei pointed at his nose, and said: "I'll stay here! Mr. Gao Qiao, I know you want me. You let go of all my brothers, and I also let go of your chief of staff. It's just the two of us. How about playing chess well?"

Shin Takahashi picked up the teacup, but he didn't drink water in a hurry, but put it under his nose and took a deep breath. "This tea is the best tea in Japan, Mr. Ye Liu. What you need most to drink this kind of tea is patience. You have to taste it slowly in small sips."

Ye Tufei laughed and said: "Even if it is the best tea in Little Japan, it is still tea after all. Since it is tea, it has only one function. It is made into water for people to drink. As for how the drinker drinks it, that's up to you." It doesn't matter at all, because as long as the drinker achieves his goal, the tea will work."

Gao Qiaoxin had enough of sniffing, and finally took a sip, and responded to Ye Tufei: "But like you, after all, it's a waste of money!"

Ye Tufei said with a smile: "You like to drink tea and think it is a heavenly thing, but I only like to drink. To tea, I just think of it as a tree leaf."

Nobu Takahashi was not answering the question, he pointed to the chessboard, and said, "This chess... I don't think there is any need to play any more."

Ye Tufei said: "It's up to you or not, you decide, I'll accompany you."

Gao Qiaoxin nodded slowly, and said: "Master Ye Liu, please go back first. After half an hour, I will go upstairs to visit you in person. When the time comes, I will personally tell you my final decision."

Seeing a hint of doubt flashing across Ye Tufei's face, Gao Qiaoxin hastily explained: "Oh, before I make a decision, you must let me take a look at the health of the chief of staff! Please rest assured, Mr. Ye Liu, I am Gao Qiao Xin went upstairs alone, and promised not to bring any weapons."
