For such a victory, Lu Peng has always shown calmness. It is true that he has nothing to be happy about, if he can't crush this era with these technological innovations brought by his own traverser, then he, a traverser, can completely plunge into this vast sea and feed Wang Ba directly.

Looking at the excited Wang family arms, Lu Peng expressed great disdain for their cheering and cheering in the face of this small victory.

"A fleet armed to the teeth, facing a rabble of water thieves, has only managed to burn two or three hundred of the enemy's large and small broken ships, and it makes you so excited, such a victory is simply more than worth the loss for me."

Looking at Wang Dong, who was standing behind him in a regular manner, Lu Peng said the law and bottom line of his war: "My principle is that war is the same as doing business, since it is launched, you can't get war dividends, then I think it's a loss, so you can calculate it, it's the more than 3,000 pieces of oil I just threw out, according to the price of 100 yuan each, it's 300,000 yuan, and where is my income?" Where is my seizure? ”

"No, nothing." Wang Dong had to truthfully report to this wealthy man.

"But I know that the Thief has always been extravagant, and his lair must be full of gold and silver." When he said this, Lu Peng immediately began to roll up his arms and sleeves, and ordered with bright eyes: "All of them, pass the order, we set sail, chase these water thieves, chase them all the way to his lair, and seize all their gold, silver and jewelry." ”

In the face of this kind of utilitarian psychology of Chiguoguo, Wang Dong simply doubted that this was a scribe with elegant taste, who had been recognized as the first word person by the Han Dynasty, and this was a lord with a huge kingly demeanor, was this completely a profiteer.

It's getting late, and if the fleet continues to sail, there will be no way to avoid the reef current, which will be a very dangerous thing, especially this time, in the face of a powerful alliance of water pirates, a battle will be won, and it will also need to be celebrated with wine. So Lü Peng accepted the suggestion of Wang Dong, who had taken up his new post, and had to order the fleet to anchor at the Yangtze River port for rest.

The fleet stopped, and the shopkeepers of the caravans who followed the fleet asked to see each other with gifts, wanting to congratulate Lu Peng.

Of course, Lu Peng would never waste this opportunity to show his majesty to the Jiangnan family, so he got off the warship and landed on the shore, picked a flat place along the coast, lit a huge bonfire one after another, and set up a rare wine banquet one after another, and began to entertain the representatives or hosts of these merchants.

There was no singing and dancing at the banquet, but there was a performance of the soldiers marching and arranging, on the one hand, the wine was drinking and singing, and on the other hand, the swords and guns were dazzling and the iron armor was sonorous, these two completely discordant things were perfectly combined against the backdrop of this huge bonfire.

After the wine was hot, Lu Peng stood up, held his wine glass, and heroically announced his decision to the owners and representatives of the merchant ships: "As the saying goes, it is advisable to chase the poor man bravely, and not to make the name of the overlord, for Gan Ning, a thief with a golden sail, it is not our goal to defeat him in a battle, I decide, your team will sail behind me slowly, and I will take my fleet up the river, chase the enemy, and beat the water dogs." ”

As soon as such a heroic declaration of war was issued, it was surprisingly not responded to the cheers of these shipowners, but one by one they were embarrassed, and they looked left and right to stop talking.

Facing the lord who was eager to try, Wang Dong hurriedly stepped forward and reported to Lu Peng on behalf of all the shipowners: "The lord is slow. ”

Lu Peng frowned, but still listened patiently to his opinion: "Is there anything wrong?" ”

Wang Dong obviously knew that what he was about to say would definitely make Lu Peng unhappy, but for the sake of the interests of the entire family, and in order to fulfill the instructions of the ship owners before the banquet just now, he had to save Gan Ning and stop the lord from continuing to investigate Gan Ning's crime of offending Huwei.

This war, for these ship owners, is actually completely avoidable.

According to the rules, everyone is also willing to pay two layers of tolls to Jinfan thief Gan Ning. This is the rule, spend money to buy a peace, this little money, we are not a loss, but after the goods land, the price will be added to the three layers, as the so-called wool out of the sheep, wool, is absolutely not out of the dog.

As a result, this time Lu Peng had no intention of negotiating with the Jinfan thief at all, and directly shot the crossbow arrow at the negotiator sent by the Jinfan thief.

Because in their minds, Lu Peng is just a guest this time, if he pats his ass and leaves after the fight, then Gan Ning Gan Xingba will launch a bone-sucking blackmail against the wealthy families in Jiangnan, so as to make up for his huge losses this time, and at the same time, it is also to show his existence to the families in Jiangnan again.

And these shipowners who followed Lu Peng and his party this time will be Gan Ning's first choice for revenge, and when the time comes, it will be his own family giants who will suffer.

Therefore, these shipowners brought gifts one after another, and on the grounds of congratulating the victory, they came to Lu Peng to ask Gan Ning to release him.

Of course, this matter fell to everyone in Jiangnan, Wang Dong, who was the captain of the fleet by Lu Peng's side.

Wang Dong has already appreciated Lu Peng's character, but at this time, he must sell Gan Ning and Gan Xingba a favor.

swallowed his saliva with difficulty, bowed to Lu Peng, and said cautiously: "Gan Ning, it is not a year or two to run rampant along the Yangtze River, he has already subdued all the bandits and pirates along the coast of the river, and gathered his strength of thirty or forty thousand horses. And this person has brains and thoughtfulness in doing things, although we defeated him this time, but he will definitely not give up, as the so-called strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, to be a man to leave a line, for a good meeting in the future, but also ask the lord to spare people and spare people, is the so-called poor Kou Mo chase. ”

Lu Peng was very annoyed by this so-called poor Kou Mo chasing theory, and at that time I didn't know how everyone understood this thing into this situation.

Poor Kou Mo chasing is the most undesirable, when Kou Qiu is desperate and destitute, kick it hard, this is the most effective with half the effort.

And the poor Kou Mo chases, it looks like a kind of generosity, but in fact, it is absolutely irresponsible to himself. If you let the poor man escape, he will never thank you, but will crouch there, gasp for a while, and then jump up and continue to fight you, and then you will have to use all your strength to deal with him again, and then you will have to face a possible ending again, which may make you move forward. , the most direct example, is that the king of Yue, Goujian, because of the husband in order to reflect his benevolence, (of course, the traitor's advice is fundamental) to implement his poor Kou Mo chasing magnanimity, the result is good, and the country is ruined (note, it is broken).

And this bloody lesson has not been accepted, but this Gou Jian made the same old mistake of poor Kou Mo Chasing, and as a result, the present world reported that it would not take long for Gou Jian to die and destroy the country (note, it was destroyed), this is the bloody reminder to future generations, in order to show his magnanimity, and the implementation of the poor Kou Mo Chasing, the ultimate victim is himself.
