Chapter 56: Zhujiazhuang surrenders

Zhu Chaofeng also wiped his tears and stood up at this time, he glanced at the people on his side and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, at this time he knew that everyone had lost the previous momentum of grief and indignation, it seemed that there were still so many people, but the combat effectiveness was less than half of it, once it really came to the last moment, I don't know how many people would be able to die generously.

And he can't blame others, even his own mentality has completely changed, before he thought that his three sons were gone, what was the point of living as a lonely old man, it was better to fight with the people of Liangshan, and he would die vigorously anyway, and he could also deal a heavy blow to the enemies.

But now that Zhu Biao is still alive, he is still expected to pass on his incense in the future, and now he has to choose to work hard, so what face will he have in the future to see his ancestors and underground? This line of the Zhu family is equivalent to being broken in his own hands, and even if he dies, he is still a sinner of the Zhu family through the ages.

The inheritance of incense in this era is the most important thing for a family, and the Zhu family is no exception.

Therefore, Zhu Chaofeng smiled bitterly and said: "Thank you Ye Dazhai for your mercy, the old man deeply feels his kindness to you, how can this battle still be fought?" But according to the orders of the owner of the village, the old man just wants to be able to guard the land left by his ancestors, and spend his old age with the dog, and he no longer wants to get involved in the disputes in the rivers and lakes. ”

The audience was in an uproar, no one thought that Zhu Chaofeng would be able to give up the deep hatred of the killing of his two sons and the defeat of the army, and be willing to surrender to Liangshan - it is not an exaggeration to say that he surrendered, you must know that he still has 2,000 Zhuangke and Zhujiazhuang's super defensive walled city.

You must know that yesterday, the heads of Liangshan and the Li family discussed this for a long time, that is, how much price they are willing to pay in order to win Zhujiazhuang, now it's okay, there is no need to pay any price, and a Zhu Biao will solve the problem.

After hearing the news, Hu Taigong and Li Ying also rushed over with surprise and joy, and Hu Taigong said to Zhu Chaofeng: "Brother Zhu, it's really good that you can think like this, we are all half-cut into the loess, why fight and kill all day long, wouldn't it be good to guard the children and grandchildren to enjoy the blessings?" ”

After this toss, Zhu Chaofeng's ambitions were also wiped out, if even an hour ago Hu Taigong dared to say such a thing, he would definitely sneer and spit on his face, but now he is completely listening, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It's still my brother who can think about it, I know it early, I have to learn more from you in the future, but this matter is old I don't count, I have to nod the head of Ye Dazhai, after all, we offended Liangshan first." ”

In this short period of time, Ye Ling, Wu Yong and Gongsun Sheng, the two big think tanks, also quickly discussed, Zhu Chaofeng is actually an old fox, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he simply showed weakness and left the problem of choice to Ye Ling.

At this time, Ye Ling could certainly open his mouth, squeeze the Zhu family cleanly, and even force them to leave Zhujiazhuang, but this time it did not match the image of "a hero who walks for the sky" touted by Zhu Chaofeng before; Second, there are still 2,000 soldiers and a population of five or six thousand, and it will not benefit anyone if they are really in a hurry.

So in the end, under the persuasion of Wu Yong, especially Gongsun Sheng, Liang Shan proposed such a solution.

First, as the initiator of this war, especially on the premise of causing "huge" damage to Liangshan, the Zhu family must admit defeat, and sincerely apologize to Liangshan, and promise never to do it again.

Second, as compensation, Zhujiazhuang should compensate Liangshan for 500,000 yuan of labor and military expenses, in addition to 3,000 spears, 3,000 broadswords, 200 pairs of armor, and 500 war horses.

Third, in addition, Zhujiazhuang will "support" 50 Liangshan blacksmiths, 20 bow and crossbow masters, and 20 horse trainers.

In fact, the first article is completely meaningless, Zhu Chaofeng has already admitted defeat at this time, but there must be such a clause in the so-called armistice agreement, as for never committing it again in the future, it is all, if the strength of Zhujiazhuang is not as good as Liangshan, you give him money to fight him, he will not be willing, but if the strength of Zhujiazhuang is far above Liangshan, how much effect can this paper agreement play?

So the real substance is on the last two.

The second one took 500,000 yuan of cash from Zhujiazhuang at once, as well as nearly 10,000 pieces of weapons and equipment, which is already more than two-thirds of Zhujiazhuang's reserves, especially equipment, so that Zhujiazhuang is equivalent to a toothless tiger, and its strength in the future is completely inferior to Lijiazhuang and Hujiazhuang.

But what really made Zhu Chaofeng's flesh hurt was the third one.

If this equipment is gone, it can continue to be cast again, as long as it takes time, but the craftsmen and masters were also asked to leave by Liang Shan, and this is the real source of disconnection.

You must know that these craftsmen are extremely difficult to become successful, it takes three or five years to train an apprentice, and it takes more than ten years for a mature master, these craftsmen are all the treasures of Zhujiazhuang, and a few even several generations have been working in Zhujiazhuang, which let go of a Zhu Chaofeng's heart is dripping blood, but he can't refuse.

It was impossible for him to even stay secretly, and the most powerful masters, Li Ying and Taigong Hu, were also clear, so he naturally didn't dare to do these tricks.

It can be said that after the blow of the "second article", Zhujiazhuang lost its vitality within five years and was completely crushed by Lijiazhuang and Hujiazhuang; But after this "third" correction, Zhujiazhuang will lose its competitiveness in the next ten years or even longer.

It was from this moment on, Zhu Chaofeng was really convinced of Ye Ling, although this son was young, but his vision was surprisingly long-term, he would rather give up some of his existing possessions, but also choose the future.

As long as such a person does not fall halfway, he will be a generation of heroes in the future!

Therefore, Zhu Chaofeng also completely gave up competing with Liang Shan in the future, and found a little luck in the field, and decided to have a good relationship with Liang Shan, and he also took the initiative to invite Ye Ling and others to go around his warehouse, if there is anything he likes, just take it.

Of course Ye Ling would not refuse this warm invitation, he also wanted to try his luck and see if he could find another treasure on the illustrated book, as expected, as soon as he approached the treasure house of the Zhu family, a place on the illustrated book suddenly lit up.
