"What?" Chen Hongjin glared angrily and stared at the battlefield. Sure enough, the casualties were much higher today. The opponent's archers obviously used stronger bows and were more accurate. Yesterday, they were still able to climb to the top of the city several times.

I haven't been there even once today.

In fact, Chen Hongjin also had troubles that he couldn't tell. At that time, he thought that taking the Tingxia Pass would only take a moment, which led to insufficient preparation of the siege equipment. Most of the siege equipment he brought were heavy armored infantry, preparing to enter Shaxian County to show off their power. At most, they would use swords.

The state army came for a field battle and had no intention of attacking the city. Who would have thought that they would stop at Tingxia Pass and cause such huge losses.

"Ming Jin withdraws the troops!" Chen Hongjin watched for a long time and sighed helplessly. This Jianzhou Army is much more elite than he thought. He originally thought that the soldiers defending the city yesterday were the elite of the Jianzhou Army, but he didn't expect that today's soldiers are even more powerful. According to this

If this ratio of battle losses continued, even if all his soldiers were defeated, he might not be able to take Tingxia Pass. He was so angry at that boy that he was so angry. If he knew that Sun Yu only brought half of the men and half was on standby, he might not even be able to take Tingxia Pass.

I won’t come to Jianzhou anymore.

"General, what should we do about the third brother?" A young general was stunned. He is the eldest adopted son of Chen Hongjin. They wanted to vent their anger on the third brother and rescue him by the way. Why did they withdraw their troops?

Already?

"Since we can't defeat them, let's talk!" Chen Hongjin had no choice. Unless he used all the equipment of the army to directly kill the opponent here, he would not be able to defeat him. But if this is the case, his status in the Qingyuan Army may plummet. Which one is better?

The weight can still be measured.

Sun Yu looked up at the sky. It was not yet noon, so why did he withdraw his troops? Originally, according to Sun Yu's plan, he would kill the enemy here and then look for an opportunity to counterattack. If he could kill and defeat the opponent, that would be great.

But that's it.

"Master Governor, we have no grudges, so why don't we stop and talk. We brought our brothers here all by ourselves, so it would be unwise to lose them here in vain." Chen Hongjin led a group of personal guards,

Holding a shield, he approached Tingxia Pass and shouted.

"No grudges? Then why did you send troops to attack?" Sun Yu couldn't help but sneered, and when he saw that he couldn't be defeated, his face changed.

"My adopted son has had some misunderstandings with you. I would like to explain to the governor on his behalf. I wonder if you can let him go? If possible, I will lead my troops back and never do this again.

"Chen Hongjin thought about it and said, this is in front of the two armies. Every word can be transmitted to all directions, so we must pay special attention.

"Could it be that what the general said is Chen Qisi, the second leader of the Western Fujian Gang? General, don't worry, he eats well and sleeps well, which means he needs to work hard every day. When the time comes, I will let him go.

"Sun Yu's eyes rolled. It's definitely not possible to let him go right away. I have the upper hand, so he has to bleed.

"Work hard? What does this mean?" Chen Hongjin was stunned after hearing this. He thought that Chen Qisi must be imprisoned in a prison, but he didn't expect that he was not.

"Oh, Chen Qisi gathered a crowd to cause chaos, and he should be executed according to the law. Considering his young age, I will give him a chance to change his ways. As long as he works in the mine for twenty years, I will give him his freedom."

Sun Yu's head was spinning rapidly.

"Twenty years? Mr. Governor, there must be a misunderstanding. My adopted son is a loyal man and will never gather people to cause trouble. If he really caused any damage to your place, I will be willing to compensate according to the price and wait for him to come back.

This general will definitely keep strict control." Damn, after twenty years, you will become a bad old man when you come back. But in front of the two armies, you can't just spend money to buy people. This, give me some

The compensation is acceptable, after all, it has helped me earn a lot of money.

"The damage he caused is not small. He destroyed a lot of fields and delayed the farming season. In addition, there was a lot of damage to the shops in the city. I've calculated that the flat price is fifty thousand taels!" This thing, Sun Yu

I didn’t have any experience, so I just took the aggressive asking price approach of later generations.

"Fifty thousand taels, why don't you go and grab it!" Chen Hongjin was furious. This guy is really dishonest. He only needs fifty thousand taels for one person. It's true that my money is blown by the strong wind.

"Hey, General, you just don't understand the market. The brothel girls in Jiangning Mansion are worth more than a thousand taels, and the adopted son of the dignified General, 50,000 taels is really not much." Sun Yu didn't know the prices, but this

A man of this kind is worth more than a woman from a brothel. You can't just throw away a few thousand taels. If you raise an army and mobilize people here, it won't be enough.

"You! You are so shameless. You can do it with 30,000 taels?" Chen Hongjin pointed at Sun Yu and said bitterly. You actually compared the worth of my adopted son with that of a brothel girl. I was really angry.

"General, you bargained too hard. You lost 20,000 taels in one go. This is not possible." Sun Yu was quite satisfied with the price of 30,000 taels, but he wanted to fight for it again and passed the village.

, this store no longer exists.

"Let's go!" Chen Hong's lungs were about to explode. A general and a governor were bargaining in front of the two armies. You are just buying vegetables on the roadside. You can afford to lose this person, but I can't afford to lose.

After the order was given, I immediately took the people and prepared to turn back. As for the adopted son, his life was safe anyway. We would think of a solution later.

"General, don't be anxious. I have agreed, so let's just make friends. Tomorrow at noon, I will pay you with one hand and teach others with the other." Seeing that the other party used the ultimate bargaining move, Sun Yu had to give in. This left

How much output can you get here? Thirty thousand taels, enough to pay the Jianzhou Army for two months. If you go back with this money, you can straighten your back in front of Xu Yi.

"Okay, once you've said something, it's hard to follow up!" Chen Hongjin replied angrily, why couldn't he have been so quick to do so earlier? Are you still a friend? I don't want to see you in this life.

"I always keep my word." Sun Yuzhi was satisfied, and ordered the cavalry battalion to send people to the mine to bring Chen Qisi, and then led a group of generals to get down to the city wall. At this point in the battle, the merits were considered complete.

As night fell, the camps of both sides were filled with joy. After all, the battle was over. They only had to exchange silver coins tomorrow before heading back home.

"Second leader, your adoptive father is outside the pass. I didn't expect you to be so important in the eyes of the general. If I had known this, I wouldn't have sent you to the mine. You must have suffered a lot." Sun Yu saw a dark face,

Chen Qisi, who is tired of life, said.

"It's not a hardship. I have to thank you sir for letting me go." Chen Qisi thought it was okay. After all, he was a prisoner and the treatment was pretty good. But he was seriously injured that day and his chest still felt a little uncomfortable. In the blink of an eye,

Look, the person who hurt me that day is not there.

"Don't make a mistake, it was the general who paid to redeem you. If you want to thank him, just thank your adoptive father. Go freshen up first, otherwise, if the general doesn't recognize him, I'll ask someone for the money." Sun Yu waved his hand.

, if it weren't for the sake of money, you would probably end up working in the mines.

"Master Governor, this is silver. Take a look. If you can, please bring my son out and have a look." Chen Hongjin led his men and placed boxes of silver on the ground, opened the lids, and made a dazzling sound under the sun.

white light.

"General, you see clearly, your young master is safe and sound." Sun Yu brought up the freshly dressed Chen Qisi and shouted down.

"My son, I've suffered so much for you. I'll take you home as a father!" I don't know whether it was because he was sincere or just showing off, but Chen Hongjin burst into tears.

"Father, my son's incompetence has made you suffer." Chen Qisi looked ashamed and saluted Chen Hong with his fists clasped.

"General, I'll send someone down to check the silver. If it's correct, I'll put your young master down and then pull the silver up to the top of the city. Is that okay?" Sun Yu glanced at Chen Hongjin and then at Chen Qisi, his eyebrows raised.

They are actually very similar. Could it be that they are illegitimate? Then the price is a bit of a disadvantage, but there is no way to change my mind now.

"Sure!" Chen Hongjin didn't hesitate and ended the matter quickly. Fortunately, he brought silver coins with him when he went on the expedition, which he originally planned to use to motivate the soldiers.

Dozens of hanging baskets were put down neatly, and a soldier sat in each hanging basket. He reached the city wall and ran directly to the boxes to check them one by one. As for the method, he just bit them with his teeth.

The leader gestured to Sun Yu to indicate that there was no problem with the silver coins, and then led the soldiers to move boxes of silver coins into the hanging basket. When all the silver coins were loaded, another hanging basket was lowered at the top of the city, and Chen Qisi was sitting in it.

.

When Chen Qisi was about to reach the ground, the hanging basket with the silver in it slowly moved towards the top of the city. After landing, Chen Qisi quickly ran towards Chen Hongjin, and the boxes of silver were also seen by Chen Qisi.

, if you can't go back, the loss will be huge.

"General, do you want..." the lieutenant standing behind him asked in a low voice. If he launched an attack at this time, it would still be possible to capture some silver coins. Besides, Chen Qisi had already landed and was running towards this side.

With his martial arts, he should be able to protect himself.

"Forget it." Chen Hongjin shook his head. There were hundreds of archers at the top of the other side's city with their arrows already strung. Moreover, the governor's powerful bow was extremely powerful. He had seen it yesterday, so the chance of escaping was slim.

"The general is indeed trustworthy and worthy of friendship. If there is an opportunity in the future, I will do business with the general again." The silver coins were successfully hoisted to Tingxia Pass. Sun Yu also breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.

"I don't want to deal with the governor anymore, so let's just say goodbye!" Chen Hongjin snorted coldly. He suffered a big loss this time. When he is firmly established in the Qingyuan Army, he will definitely avenge today.

"General, don't worry. There are still some people who were captured together with the second master. Do you want to give them up? It's cheaper for me." Now that the thirty thousand taels are safe, Sun Yu has confidence, so he might as well do some more business.

"What do they have to do with me? Let's leave it to the governor." Chen Hongjin didn't care about the life and death of those people and didn't want to spend a tael of money.

"Second Master, these are all your clothes, and I fought for you on the battlefield through life and death, and you just left like this alone?" Sun Yu suddenly became anxious when he saw that the business was about to go bad.

"Father..." Chen Qisi looked at Chen Hongjin pitifully. Not to mention the others, those soldiers really risked their lives to save him that day, otherwise he would have been killed by the envoy.

The one with the ax was chopped alive.

"Isn't it embarrassing enough? When you go back to Zhangzhou, you can figure it out on your own." Chen Hongjin really didn't want to bargain with Sun Yu in front of the two armies anymore. He had had enough.

"Second Master, they are all waiting for you in the mine. Remember to come back and redeem their lives. If there are many people, I will give you a discount, so be sure to come." Sun Yu saw them walking away and hurriedly ran down and turned on the loudspeaker.

Bring it and shout to Chen Qisi.
