Chapter 386: Negotiation
ο»Ώ
The two fought for more than a dozen rounds, Sun An secretly called himself surprised, this Zeng Sheng's skills are very powerful, even if he fought with all his strength, when it came to more than 20 rounds, Zeng Sheng ran away.
Sun An chased closely, Zeng Sheng suddenly turned around, a flying knife more than a foot long, fast and accurate, straight to Sun An's faΓ§ade, this flying knife is so big, it is different from the small flying knife used in the rivers and lakes, such a big flying knife will definitely die if it hits the vital point. Sun An was excited, the big sword flew the flying knife, the other flying knife arrived, the second flying knife was too fast, just at the stall where Sun An hit the first flying knife, it was too late to fight, Sun An turned his head, the flying knife flew over the helmet, and the blade scraped the helmet and sounded.
Zeng Sheng turned his horse's head back and said, "What a powerful character, he actually dodged my two flying knives." β
Sun An said: "The village man in the mountains dares to hurt people with a secret weapon, look at the sword." β
The big sword went straight to Zeng Sheng, Zeng Sheng didn't fight, he ran when he hit the horse, and said as he ran: "I'll fight here today, and I'll fight next time." β
Sun An had no choice but to give up the pursuit, Shi Wengong galloped over, Fang Tian's halberd immediately horizontal, and said: "Sun An is so powerful, he can beat the fifth child." β
Sun An pouted: "The most powerful thing is just a guy who uses a hidden weapon, I think you, the master, are not bright, let's talk about it first, what kind of secret weapon do you use." β
Shi Wengong said: "Junior, it is not forbidden to use hidden weapons to fight on the battlefield, there are many types of meteor hammers, trump cards, flying knives, bows and arrows, young people should pay more attention to learning." β
"Okay, then let me ask you for your tricks." Sun An's big sword swept Shi Wengong, Shi Wengong drew a halberd lightly, blocked Sun An's big sword, and the two fought together.
The sky was dark in this battle, and there were more than 20 rounds of fighting, Shi Wengong didn't look at the polite and polite person, in fact, he had a lot of strength, and Sun An saw sweat on his forehead, and gradually he couldn't support it. At this time, Lin Chong came with a copper area and said, "The two of you are staying." β
Shi Wengong said: "Want to fight the two together? β
Lin Chong said: "I saw that the head of the Shi Sect was strong in martial arts, and the spear in his hand was unbearable, so I came to ask for advice, and asked Camp Commander Sun to take a break." It is said that Lin Chong and Shi Wengong have both been taught by Zhou Tong, but Zhou Tong accepts apprentices one by one, so Lin Chong and Shi Wengong do not know each other, and they are not very emotional.
Sun An clenched his fists and urged the horse back.
Lin Chong and Shi Wengong were not polite, and the spears and halberds were fighting together. Lin Chong is different from Sun An, although Sun An is also very powerful in martial arts, but Sun An's weapons are at a loss in the scolding war, the snake spear gun does not suffer from the heavenly painting halberd above, and they are all masters of horse warfare.
Chao Gai was worried that Lin Chong would lose, after all, Shi Wengong was strong in martial arts and was a rare master.
Chao Gai came up with the Golden Dragon Swallowing Heavenly Halberd and shouted, "Stay together." β
Lin Chong and Shi Wengong separated.
"That's the end of today's fight, the two of them don't win. Shi Jiaotou, how did you decide, whether to fight or to talk? Chao Gai said.
Shi Wengong asked: "How to fight, how to talk." β
Chao Gai said: "Do you still need to ask, if we fight, we will each bring an army to fight." If you talk about it, it's a negotiation. β
Shi Wengong looked around and saw how this thing played, he originally thought that the fighting general just wanted to test it, and there were so many masters on this side of the test just now. The generals have strong skills, there are many soldiers, and they have gathered the surrounding around into barbed wire, how to fight this.
Shi Wengong said: "Don't fight today, although the weather is cold, but the sun is shining, what a good day, the battle is a big mess, Chao Tuanlian will talk about what the general conditions of the negotiation are, and I will go back to discuss." β
Chao Gai said: "We can't ask for a price, my request is very simple, return the four BMWs, the two sides will shake hands and make peace in the future, each do its own business, and stop fighting with each other." β
Shi Wengong said: "You can return the BMW, but what about the eight ships of cargo at sea, you have to return it to us." β
"You are all insiders, don't fool people, the grassland in that place in Jinguo is vast, and there are as many horses as cattle hair, which is not worth a lot of meat money at all. Besides, those personal ginseng and other things are not worth two dollars, so don't mention it. What's more, we can now completely annihilate your 1,500 cavalry, and I will be reported as soon as your team arrives at the border of Cangzhou, if it weren't for my mercy, I'm afraid you would have been finished. Chao Gai said.
Shi Wengong took a look, this time he really met an expert, the area of the Jinguo grassland is too large, and there are so many horses that no one wants. Medicinal herbs such as ginseng and deer antler velvet are also purchased locally at the price of radish.
Shi Wengong said: "Let's go back and discuss it before making plans." β
Chao Gai and Shi Wengong went back separately, and both sides were discussing and discussing.
Shi Jin said: "It's hard to surround them, the power of the cavalry can't be brought into play, why not fire artillery and crossbow arrows, and then rush up to annihilate them, as long as this group of people is destroyed, Zengtou City will be finished." β
Chao Gai said: "It's easy to annihilate completely, the problem is how to deal with the aftermath, there are hundreds of casualties on both sides, once the court investigates it, we have only one way left." β
Shi Bao said: "The consequence of total annihilation can only be to raise troops, we will stand on our own in Shandong, but at present, we do not have that strength, and we cannot deal with the counterattack of more than 100,000 people in the imperial court." β
Sun An said: "The total annihilation must be a bloody battle, the battlefield pays attention to encircling three to one, we surround a circle, let these 1,500 cavalry be in the place of death, and the resistance will be fierce." If you want to fight, you can't wipe them all out, just keep two-thirds of him. I also agree with the peace talks, but Zeng Tou City must admit his mistakes. β
Lin Chong said: "I'm an outsider, so I shouldn't have intervened." But Brother Chao Gai is very kind to me, and I think that under the current circumstances, I can only negotiate peace. β
Chao Gai smiled indifferently and said, "Okay, let's see what Zeng Tou City means." β
As he was talking, Chai Jin led the five hundred Zhuang guests to arrive, and these five hundred Zhuang guests were uniformly dressed, each with a simple knife, majestic and murderous. Chai Jin rode a horse with a gun, carried a bow and arrows on his back, and was dressed in decent armor. These 500 villagers are all semi-militarized, which is much stronger than ordinary caretakers.
Chai Jin came over and complained: "My brother treats me Chai Jin as an outsider, and my brother didn't tell me about such an important thing as someone sneaking up on the salt farm." β
Chao Gai said: "You and arrange the Zhuang Ke on the periphery, and I will tell you again." β
Chai Jin knew that fighting a war was not a child's play, so he obeyed Chao Gai's arrangement and arranged the villagers.
Chao Gai said: "The big officials are not angry, the attack on Zengtou City is a conjecture, and it is not necessarily a matter that cannot come, so naturally there is no way to notify you." Second, if the two sides really have to fight, the fight of thousands of people will inevitably alarm the imperial court, and the big officials will definitely be implicated at that time. β
Chai Jin said: "Brother is wrong, now we are closely related, once my brother has something, Chai Jin can't get out of it." β
Chao Gai said: "This is very good, you are eloquent, and you will just negotiate with Zengtou City in a while." β
Chao Gai told Chai Jin what happened in detail, Chai Jin nodded frequently, as a wealthy man, he knew very well that the power of the imperial court was still very strong, and unlike land and sea, it would be difficult to hide such a large-scale battle.
At this moment, Shi Wengong came to the middle of the battlefield with the second and fourth children and dozens of guards, and Chao Gai also brought Jiao Ting, Luo Yun, Sun An, Shi Bao, and Chai into the middle.
Shi Wengong said: "Calling back and forth is not good for everyone, and peace talks are the best choice." But I'm curious, and I'd love to see the smoking ships of your navy. β
Chao Gai said: "That is a secret of our army, how can you read it casually." β
"After our peace talks, we can not only non-aggression against each other, but also cooperate closely, as the saying goes, there are no permanent enemies, only eternal interests. I heard that there are a lot of workshops in Jeju that produce a lot of daily necessities. Your caravan in Jinguo is a small fight at best, and the things sold are very small, if we cooperate successfully, the sales will definitely increase a lot, businessmen, the picture is money. β
Chao Gai stomped and said, "That's the same reason, okay then." It's just a matter of military secrets, and Shi Jiaotou doesn't bring many people, don't worry, I know your martial arts very well, and I definitely won't do anything. β
Saying that, Chao Gai asked the herald to tell Kong Yang to get ready, and Shi Wengong led the team over to visit the smoking warship in a while.
Chao Gai, Chai Jin, Shi Wengong and others talked and laughed, talked about many points, and after a while, Kong Yang said that the warship was ready, let's visit the port. Shi Wengong didn't bring many people, only Zeng Sheng and a few personal soldiers, and at the same time before coming, he specially arranged for a group of people to go straight to the port, where three flying eagle warships were parked, and a six- or seven-meter-high chimney was erected in the middle, emitting white smoke.
When he got on the boat, Shi Wengong's eyes lit up, and he saw a rectangular iron stove with four large iron pots on it, and meat was boiling in the pot, and the soldiers of the navy next to him were roasting the fire.
Kong Yang introduced: "This is a new invention of our navy, called four boilers, a huge stove can put four pots, there is always fish stewed in the pot in winter, and the surrounding hi can be grilled, so that the navy soldiers can eat hot meals and hot dishes at any time, and they can also roast the fire, so our navy can maintain strong combat effectiveness." Shi Wengong was skeptical when he heard this, and Zeng Sheng smiled: "This can also be called an invention, at best it is just a big furnace." Kong Yang was not happy, and said: "How can this not be called an invention, how can your warship not have this stove, you naval soldiers are so cold in winter that they can't hold their weapons, why don't you get a few big stoves for the soldiers to keep warm." "Zeng Sheng was choked and speechless, the Zeng family's warship really didn't have a device to warm the soldiers, and it seemed that it was necessary to put it on."
Although Shi Wengong didn't believe that it was really this kind of thing, what he saw was indeed this thing. Besides, what could it be if it wasn't this, Shi Wengong couldn't figure it out even if he wanted to break his head.
Chai Jin coughed twice and said, "Sect Leader Shi, you should have seen it all, and you should go back to negotiate." β
Shi Wengong said: "That's natural, let's go, let's go back to negotiate." β
