Chapter 120: Three Conditions for Retreat

This is really a group of strongmen who have no aristocratic temperament, and they don't even understand a little basic etiquette, Cai Gao couldn't help but secretly slander in his heart.

But although he was dissatisfied in his heart, he didn't dare to have the slightest impatience on his face, after all, Cai Jiu's prefect had already instructed him before coming this time, as long as the conditions proposed by the other party were not too excessive, he would agree.

It turned out that the battle finally made Cai Jiu afraid, he was standing at the head of the city the whole time, so he saw it more clearly than others, and it was because he saw it clearly that he understood Liangshan's strength better.

The morale, equipment, and strong strength of the generals of Liangshan left a deep impression on Cai Jiu, but the most awe-inspiring thing was naturally Ye Ling's performance, and the scene where Qin Yang, who was one of the most powerful in the entire Jiangzhou Mansion, was killed under the horse in more than ten rounds, which made Cai Jiu look frightened, his legs were weak, and he almost didn't fall directly from the city wall.

After Han De returned with the defeated soldiers in embarrassment, he was ashamed to plead guilty, after all, they had sworn to defeat the Liangshan thieves before, but they didn't expect to lose so badly, then Qin Yang was even more arrogant than him, but what could he do with him when others died, he could only bear the black pot himself.

But this time Cai Jiu didn't blame him, he just waved his hand to let him retreat, this defeat is indeed not Han De's responsibility, it is the same for whoever goes, and if you don't make it, you will lose even worse.

Then Cai Jiu secretly congratulated himself that he had left a hand, acted cautiously, and did not listen to Qin Yang and the others to kill Song Jiang Daizong and them, then there was really no way to turn around, and on the other hand, he sent his cronie Cai Gao to negotiate.

Therefore, Cai Gao is also well aware of the current situation, knowing that Liangshan has the upper hand at this time, so although he is angry at Ye Ling's attitude, he does not dare to show it at all, on the contrary, he is more humble and said: "This, this, Ye Dazhai Lord said with a smile, our family also said that there is no grudge between the two sides, and this conflict is completely those generals who are doing their own thing, we really don't need to fight anymore, as long as Guishan can retreat, everything is easy to talk about, hehe, hehe." ”

Yang Zhi and the others on the side couldn't help but admire it even more, it turned out that this guy really came to surrender, but it was just a nice thing to say, or the owner of the big village was powerful, and he had already expected it.

In fact, this is a little puzzling for them, but it is a logical thing for Ye Ling, he is now considering the problem from the perspective of the superior, and he can naturally experience Cai Jiu's mood, in the final analysis, he is just an official just to be prosperous and wealthy, and to be safe, if it is a weak thief who dares to provoke, it will naturally be a smooth thing, and by the way, he can also report the credit to the report, but now that he finds that Liang Shan's strength is far beyond his own, how can he still be willing to take the risk and continue to fight?

After all, if he loses, Jiangzhou Mansion will be in danger, his gold and silver treasures, family members, etc. will not be guaranteed, Cai Jiu's consciousness and loyalty are probably not so high, is he willing to serve the imperial court?

Therefore, he had already concluded that the other party was definitely willing to compromise and retreat, no matter what the conditions, as long as Liang Shan could withdraw from the army, he could also pretend that nothing had happened, and continue to be his wealthy taishou.

And this kind of thing is not only Cai Jiu, the Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty is not the same as Cai Jing and others? Every year, he "rewards" a large sum of money to the Liao State and Xixia to buy peace, and he has to deceive himself that his own side has won, and he closes the door in a harmonious manner, boasting about himself, this upper beam is not right, and the lower beam is naturally crooked, Cai Jiu is also like this.

Therefore, Ye Ling just said lightly: "It's not impossible for us to withdraw from the army, but we must promise me three conditions." ”

Cai Gao was secretly happy in his heart, and hurriedly said: "It's easy to say, and I hope that the master of Dazhai will make it clear." ”

Ye Ling Xu said: "First, return our two brothers, Song Jiang and Dai Zong, and in addition, there is a small prison called Black Whirlwind Li Kui, who is also our person, so naturally we will also send it back unscathed." ”

Cai Gao agreed, this requirement Cai Jiu and he had already guessed and agreed, but they were just two prisoners, what impact did life and death have on them? As for that Li Kui, hehe, it's just a small prison, and Cai Jiu doesn't need to nod, Cai Gao can make his own decisions.

"No problem, please continue."

Ye Ling said again: "Second, send us that Huang Wenbing, in addition, we can't run all the way in vain, you have to compensate for a little military salary, not more, just 100,000." ”

Cai Gao was slightly stunned, but immediately nodded in agreement. In fact, Huang Wenbing's condition he and his master had also thought of before, this conflict was drawn from him in the final analysis, Cai Jiu naturally hated him, if it weren't for you, a bastard, how could this official lose so many soldiers and horses? It's embarrassing.

So he has secretly given up this Huang Tong, and they also expected Liangshan to compensate for military expenses, and they are used to it, don't they have to cede land and pay compensation every time the Great Song Dynasty loses a battle? This time, just the indemnity and the lack of land cession are already considered victories. As for 100,000 guan, it was not much more than they expected, so he naturally agreed to it.

Then the third condition came out: "You Cai Taishou is the son of Master Cai, and there must be a lot of treasures in the family, I wonder if you can take it out for me to see?" Don't worry, I'll only pick one or two at most, and I won't take them all. Ye Ling added casually.

Don't talk about Cai Gao in this condition, even the leaders of Liangshan are quite surprised, but where do they know about Ye Ling's treasure book, these treasures, naturally they have to go to the collection to find it, since they came to Jiangzhou Mansion, of course the collection of Cai Jiu's Mansion can't be let go.

Although this condition was completely unexpected by Cai Gao, he still agreed, and praised Ye Ling by the way: "I didn't expect that the owner of Ye Dazhai also likes to collect things, hehe, it is really a gentleman, the villain admires, but there are a lot of collections of adults in my family, and I really want to let the master of Dazhai help appreciate it." ”

After negotiating the conditions, Cai Gao immediately went back with a smile on his face, his trip was completely completed by his master's requirements, and it seemed that the price paid was lower than expected.

After he went back, he told Cai Jiuyi that Cai Jiu was also very satisfied, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, spending a little money and putting a few thieves can solve this trouble, which is already extremely cost-effective for him, as for Liang Shan, hum, when the time comes, he will report to his father, and there will naturally be elite soldiers to sweep them, so why bother with it?
