The 10,000 cavalry of the Zhu family army defeated the 40,000 merchant army, and the battlefield was chaotic. Zhu Yihai, who was condescending to watch the battle, was very excited, but Mao Wenlong was very speechless, looking at the 40,000 army of the huge merchant gang on the surface, not to mention the ferocity, but also showed foreign cannons.

But after the real battle, it was immediately revealed and became a rabble, and 40,000 soldiers and horses were turned upside down by 10,000 Zhu family cavalry. At this point, Mao Wenlong was no longer worried, if these merchant gangs had no other means, the defeat was already an indisputable fact.

Zhu Yihai laughed, taking advantage of your illness to kill you is his forte, and immediately without saying a word, he directly ordered the whole army to attack, and cooperated with the cavalry to encircle and suppress the Shang Gang. Several generals were ordered to retreat, and soon the city gate was opened, and the Zhu army rushed out of Foshan City with great momentum, and the troops were divided into four ways to surround the merchant army.

Until the victory or defeat was decided at this moment, Zhu Yihai no longer needed to pay attention, he smiled and invited Mao Wenlong to return to the mansion to continue drinking. Mao Wenlong readily agreed, and the two then left the city tower and returned to the mansion in a leisurely manner.

As soon as Zhu Yihai entered the gate of the mansion with his front feet, there was a commotion behind him, and when he looked back, he saw more than a dozen guards coming in a hurry. Among them were two middle-aged men, whose faces were quite unfamiliar.

"Lord Wang!" The chief guard ran two steps quickly and came to Zhu Yihai and bowed his hand.

"What's the matter?" Zhu Yihai's eyes were always staring at the two middle-aged men.

"Lord Wang, these two are the treasurers of the Chen family's branch in the provincial capital, and the head of the Chen family sent them here to report something important to the prince." The chief of the guard said respectfully.

"Go inside and say it." Zhu Yihai hesitated for a moment, and after throwing down his words, he walked towards the mansion with Mao Wenlong.

In the lobby, Mao Wenlong and Zhu Yihai were in the first place, and the two shopkeepers from the provincial capital were sitting in the bottom. Both of them are members of the Chen family, and they are lurking in the eyes of the provincial capital, and this time the two major merchant gangs of Hui merchants and Zhejiang merchants gathered 40,000 soldiers and horses to attack Foshan, and the two of them have reported to the Chen family in advance.

After the head of the Chen family learned that the two major merchant gangs were going to make a move with Zhu Yihai, he immediately informed the two shopkeepers in the provincial capital to rush over immediately and discuss with Zhu Yihai to annex the forces of the two major merchant gangs in the provincial capital.

The big shopkeeper Chen Jiahao and the second shopkeeper Chen Xin, after the two officially greeted Zhu Yihai, the big shopkeeper Chen Jiahao said: "Lord, our patriarch can use our strength in the provincial capital to assist the prince in taking the provincial city." ”

"Your power?" Zhu Yihai looked at the two of them with puzzled eyes, clearly doubting how powerful they were.

"The prince may not know that our Chen family used to be one of the best merchants in the provincial capital, but then the Japanese came and we were enemies. In the end, when he was defeated by the Japanese Bandits, he was taken advantage of by other merchants. At that time, in order to preserve the strength of the Chen family, the ancestors of our Chen family did not fight with other merchants and gangsters, but chose to withdraw. But our Chen family did not really withdraw from the provincial capital, we just disappeared from the light into the darkness and lurked. Chen Jiahao told them in detail about the affairs of their Chen family.

Hearing this, Zhu Yihai and Mao Wenlong had a deeper understanding of the Chen family. Zhu Yihai no longer has doubts about the strength of the Chen family, although the status of the two major merchant gangs in the provincial capital is not low. But they also failed to rank among the top ten forces of the provincial city merchant gang, which shows that the strength of the once brilliant Chen family in the provincial capital is definitely not small.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yihai had all the doubts in his heart, and said with a smile: "But I don't know how your family master wants to cooperate with this king?" ”

Chen Jiahao was overjoyed when he heard this, and it was obvious that Zhu Yihai's tone was beginning to be interested in their plan. Chen Jiahao didn't dare to slack off, and immediately informed Zhu Yihai of their family master's plan.

The plan of the Chen family master is not complicated, and the people and horses they lurk in the provincial capital will become Zhu Yihai's internal response. Moreover, when the Zhu family's army came to the city, they could first subdue the major merchant gangs in the city.

In this way, if Zhu Yihai attacks the provincial capital, then he only needs to deal with the Japanese who remain in the provincial capital. And after the Chen family subdues all the merchant forces in the city, they can also help Zhu Yihai to fight the Japanese in turn.

The plan was very simple, but it worked, and Zhu Yihai also agreed with it.

At this time, Mao Wenlong suddenly asked, "Shopkeeper Chen, are you sure that with your own strength, you can subdue other merchant forces?" ”

Chen Jiahao did not hesitate, he responded very firmly: "Chief soldier, our Chen family has never fought a battle with no chance of winning. Just a few merchant gangs, our Chen family really didn't look at it. The only scruple of our Chen family is those Japanese robbers, if the prince can defeat those Japanese robbers, then there will be no opponents of our Chen family in the provincial capital. ”

Mao Wenlong did not let go of any slight changes in Chen Jiahao's face, and after his careful observation, Mao Wenlong knew that Chen Jiahao was not lying. He nodded secretly and gave Zhu Yihai a look, signaling that he could agree to the Chen family's cooperation.

Zhu Yihai himself was very interested, and this would be affirmed by Mao Wenlong, so he had no scruples, and said directly: "Yes, this king promised you the Chen family master, but before that, this king needs to know, what does your family master want to get after the matter is completed?" ”

Chen Jiahao hesitated for a moment before he spoke seriously: "Our family master wants the prince to take control of the provincial capital, so that our Chen family will become the largest merchant gang in the provincial capital, and that's all. ”

"The No. 1 Business Gang......" Zhu Yihai suddenly hesitated.

If the provincial capital is controlled by him, Zhu Yihai will definitely not allow these merchant gangs to exist anymore, and these merchant gangs are the root cause of the scourge. Now, the Chen family wants to control all the merchants in the provincial capital, which is undoubtedly to share the provincial capital equally with themselves.

After some deep thought, Zhu Yihai shook his head and refused: "This request cannot be agreed to by this king." ”

Chen Jiahao's face changed suddenly, and he asked urgently: "Lord Wang, why can't you?" ”

Zhu Yihai paused for a moment before he said with a straight face: "The Shang Gang occupies half of the sky in the provincial capital, and even has more power on land than the Japanese Kou. Do you think this king will allow such a thing to happen after he takes the provincial capital? ”

Chen Jiahao smiled after hearing the words at this moment, and then explained to Zhu Yihai: "It seems that the prince has misunderstood our family master. ”

Zhu Yihai frowned and asked in a deep voice, "What is there to misunderstand." ”

Chen Jiahao said with a smile: "Our family master just wants to run our business in the provincial capital in a stable manner, as for the rest, our family master has a word in advance, and all of them can be delivered to the prince." ”

Zhu Yihai was slightly surprised: "Is this what your family master really means?" ”

Chen Jiahao said firmly: "It's more real than gold!" ”
