Volume 1 The East China Sea Dilemma Chapter 69 Xu Xiang bargains

Jiang Fu only sent a thousand men to attack the city.

Since the news that Wu Boyi was captured by Xu Xiang came, Jiang Minghe was already extremely desperate, he couldn't defend it, he couldn't escape and couldn't escape, and he hadn't run out of Hancheng a mile away when he sent someone for help!

He thought about surrendering again, but just as he was about to show his head and shout, he was shot back by the random arrows under the city, and the other party did not give him a chance to talk at all.

In fact, it's no wonder that Jiang Fu, Jiang Fu thinks that he can be appointed as the guard of a city by Nangong Sui, and he must be a loyal person to him, so he doesn't plan to persuade him to surrender or anything.

He simply hid under the tent, hiding from the sun, and instructed the soldiers to shoot arrows back if anyone probed on the wall.

After receiving Jiang Shenyu's offensive signal, he also sent a thousand people to test the water, wanting to see how Hancheng's defense strength was first.

To his great surprise, the 1,000 men easily stormed the tower, and many of the defenders surrendered on their knees.

Cautious, he was a little uncertain, he didn't think that capturing a city would be so simple, the other party only symbolically resisted twice, and then surrendered?

And the soldiers guarding the city, less than a thousand, could it be a trick to lure the enemy?

Therefore, he also specially ordered those soldiers who entered the city not to be too rash and to take every step of the way.

It wasn't until he confirmed that there were indeed only so many soldiers defending the city in this city, and the defender Jiang Minghe also knelt down and surrendered, that he entered the city with a large army.

The soldiers in Hancheng were all new recruits, not only had they not experienced war, but their training was only more than a month, and when they saw the imposing Yu Lin Wei, they were already so frightened that they dropped their weapons and fled.

Those who ran fast went to the north gate in embarrassment, and those who ran slowly could only surrender on their knees.

The arrival of those soldiers who ran to the north city gate made the soldiers defending the north city also very panicked, and hurriedly opened the city gate, wanting to flee to Jishui County.

The dazzling "those who cross this flag will be killed" were ignored by their panicked hearts, until the fastest person crossed the red flag.

There was a loud bang, like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, and the man fell to the scorching earth, his eyes widened, his body trembled, and there was no more sound. The blood hole that appeared on the forehead, and the blood that came out, frightened everyone who rushed forward to stop.

"Those who surrender on their knees, avoid death! Those who cross the red flag will be killed! Xu Xiang thought that this group of people would scatter and flee desperately, but he didn't expect that only one person died, so they were all frightened and hurriedly said loudly.

"Those who surrender on their knees, avoid death! Those who cross the red flag will be killed! ”

"Roar!"

The soldiers repeated Xu Xiang's words, and the momentum was like a grandeur, deafening, and the deserters were shocked, and they knelt on the ground one after another, not daring to resist in the slightest.

Hancheng was taken down without much effort, and Jiang Cheng had a lot of things to deal with, in addition to placing these surrendered troops, he also had to issue a notice to reassure the people.

As early as Thunder found that Jiang Fu was besieging the city, he ordered the city gate to be closed, and the people in the city also hid in their homes one after another, until Jiang Cheng posted the notice of Anmin, but no one dared to come out.

After all, after experiencing Nangong Sui's attack on Hancheng and Nangong Que's leading people to loot the army, the people of Hancheng have been panicked.

At this time, in the Hancheng Mansion, Jiang Fu sat on the left side, Wei Zhang sat on the right, and Wei Qi, the commander of Yulin Wei, and Li Chuan, the Tongque Camp, stood on their sides.

And under the hall are more than a dozen officials of all sizes kneeling in Hancheng.

Jiang Wei glanced down, the officials below were basically frightened, except for the Yin of Hancheng Mansion, the rest of the officials were the officials of the East China Sea who were originally in Hancheng. They were uneasy in their hearts and were forced to surrender to Nangong Sui, and now the prince of the East China Sea has attacked with the young son of the Marquis of Minzhou, and they don't know what to do with them.

"Where's the granary order?"

A fat middle-aged man kneeling at the bottom said tremblingly: "The criminal minister Yang Anmin has seen His Highness. ”

Jiang Fu smiled coldly, "You still recognize me as the prince of the East China Sea!" ”

Yang Anmin was uneasy and lowered his head, his granary order was only from the seventh grade, and he could be said to be a marginal figure. Nangong Sui took Hancheng, he didn't think about resisting at all, and he didn't have the ability to resist.

Jiang Fu entered the city and summoned all the officials and officials here, he thought that a little person like himself would not be able to enter Jiang Fu's eyes at all, but he didn't expect that the first thing to point out was his name, could it be that His Royal Highness was going to take himself first?

"What is the granary of Hancheng? How much is the grain stored? Jiang Fu asked.

"If you go back to Your Highness, there are two east and west official warehouses in Hancheng, and one private warehouse. The official warehouse has 10,000 stone of grain, and the private warehouse has 500 stone of grain. Yang Anmin hurriedly replied.

Jiang Fu frowned, the grain in the people's warehouse was only five hundred stones!

It stands to reason that if the warehouse had not been opened to release grain, the people's warehouse in a city would have at least 3,000 stone to prepare for it. If there is a year of natural disasters, the grain of the people's warehouse will be put first, and then the grain of the official warehouse will be considered.

It seems that the official warehouse does not dare to be greedy, so he can only stretch out his hand to the people's warehouse, and the grain in this people's warehouse is very greedy!

However, now that the granary of Hancheng can have 10,000 stones, it can be regarded as a solution to his urgent need.

Now is not the time to rectify this group of corrupt officials, Jiang Cheng turned his head sideways and said to Wei Qi: "Wei Qi, you send someone to lead a thousand soldiers to take over the two official warehouses in Hancheng, if there is any loss, I will ask you!" ”

Wei Qi hurriedly said: "Yes! The subordinates must look at the granary to death! ”

"As for you, take care of the Mincang for me! How much you eat in Minkura, and spit it all out to Prince Ben within three days! Jiang Fu looked at Yang Anmin again and said.

Seeing that Jiang Fu didn't want his life, Yang Anmin breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes!" ”

This is the first thing Xu Xiang told him after entering the city, holding the granary in his own hands first, he has already dealt with it.

This was followed by a series of plans after being stationed in Hakagi.

Jiang Yu paused, glanced at the officials below again, and said, "You all perform your duties and pacify the people in the city as soon as possible." From now on, Hancheng will be under full martial law, and you are not allowed to enter or leave! If someone is found to be in contact with the rebels, don't blame Prince Ben! ”

"Your Highness is generous, and the ministers must keep to themselves and do their part well!"

"Let's go!" Xu Xiang waved his hand.

It didn't take long for Hakjo to gradually return to normal, and the people who were hiding at home were relieved to learn that it was the army of the East China Sea that had captured Hakjo.

Xu Xiang was dressed in plain clothes and walked with Jiang Shenyu on the streets of Hancheng, while Yang Dianfeng and Qin Chong followed silently behind them.

The two walked into a jewelry store, and the shopkeeper hurriedly greeted them. Hancheng has just experienced the war, and there are still businesses related to food such as ordinary restaurants and rice shops and butcher shops, and few people like them who are engaged in jewelry business will have leisure to come.

"Yo, two guest officers, what do you want to buy?" Although he didn't look like a rich man when he looked at the two of them, a guest finally came, and of course he couldn't let it go, and welcomed the two warmly.

"Shen Yu, look at what you like. I'll give it to you! Xu Xiang said with a smile.

The shopkeeper took out a plate of gold and silver jewelry, placed it on the table, and said with a smile: "Girl, what do you like?" ”

Jiang Shenyu was born in a royal family, and he didn't have much love for gold and silver, and those styles were not very good-looking, looking at those ordinary jewelry, he shook his head.

Seeing that she didn't take a fancy to the previous one, the shopkeeper brought out a new plate, but the difference from the plate just now was not very big, and the disappointment on Jiang Shenyu's face became thicker.

Xu Xiang frowned and asked, "Shopkeeper, don't you have any slightly better jewelry here?" ”

The shopkeeper smiled awkwardly, but there was a burst of disdain in his heart, he felt that these two people couldn't afford it at all, they were dressed so ordinarily, and they didn't look like rich people, what kind of big-tailed wolf was here?

"Well, Childe, there are two delicate little objects here, but ...... That's the price......"

"Take it out and see."

"Childe, wait a minute!"

The shopkeeper walked into the inner hall, and after a while, he took out a quaint wooden box, on which Ruili flowers were carved and crowned with cinnabar, which looked very exquisite.

I saw him gently put it on the table, and a burst of fragrance came to his nose, it was the fragrance of the wooden box, and it was obvious that this fragrance was the fragrance of the wood itself. Judging from this wooden box alone, it is worth a lot of money, and Xu Xiang can't help but be full of curiosity about the contents of the wooden box.

I saw the shopkeeper carefully open the wooden box, and there was a golden step lying quietly inside.

He gently took out the step shake, and the two of them saw clearly that this step shake was twice as small as the ordinary hairpin, but there were countless flowers carved on the hairpin body that slowly turned, and these flowers could also form a painting.

The hairpin head is like a golden phoenix inlaid with a jade bead in its mouth and several hanging beads on its tail.

This small step is like a piece of gold carved from a piece of gold, and the flowers and plants on it are vivid and delicate.

To carve such a step, even the top craftsmen have to spend a lot of time.

Jiang Shenyu was immediately attracted by this step shake, and Xu Xiang also felt that this step shake was very beautiful, if it was worn on Jiang Shenyu's head, it would be unspeakably expensive.

The shopkeeper looked at the expressions of the two, knowing that they had taken a fancy to this step, so he said: "Girl, this step shake is called the golden phoenix rank jade, which was carved by the master of Lan Ming of Tiangong Pavilion for three years. It is combined into nine coins, nine cents and nine millimeters, which means that the world is eternal. Do girls like it? ”

"Tell me, what is the asking price?" Before Jiang Shenyu could speak, Xu Xiang took the lead in speaking.

"Five hundred taels, no two prices." The shopkeeper stretched out his hand and pointed a finger and said.

"Five hundred taels of silver is not too expensive, I bought it!" Xu Xiang naturally saw that Jiang Shenyu liked this step very much, so he said proudly.

The smile on the shopkeeper's face froze, and he hurriedly said, "Childe misunderstood, the five hundred taels I said are gold, not silver!" ”

I'm rubbing! Five hundred gold? Xu Xiang silently counted his fingers, he was converting how much it was into Huaxia coins, so as to calculate it to see if it was worth this price.

Five hundred gold, that is, two and a half million Huaxia coins in later generations?

Moreover, the number of two hundred and five does not seem to be very auspicious!

"Boss, how about a price?" Xu Xiang couldn't accept the two hundred and five, so he said in a consultative tone.

The shopkeeper shook his head and refused: "Childe, five hundred taels is already the lowest price." In the following has already said that the price is not two. ”

"How about four hundred and ninety-nine taels?" Xu Xiang asked unrelentingly, "If you really can't do it, it's five hundred and one taels!" ”

The shopkeeper laughed dumbly, he thought that the man in front of him would negotiate a lot of prices with him, but he didn't expect that he actually had the idea of raising the price. Could it be that this son just doesn't like the number five hundred?

Jiang Shenyu was also very speechless, she still thought that Xu Xiang could kill some price, but she didn't expect him to be such an operation?
