"Can you listen to Ben first?"

Chen Wu's words made Lin Anluo embarrassed, and his face showed apologies.

Seeing this, Chen Wu continued: "I will have heard about the third miss of the Lin family......" He deliberately paused where he had been interrupted before.

This time, Lin Anluo stopped talking, and sat patiently and listened.

“…… There is a pair of stunning twin maidservants by his side, and he admires them. The third lady of the Lin family would not be able to climb high, but this pair of maids is always fine, right? As long as the people are sent to Long An, General Lin can leave. Should you sue me, in the eyes of the Lin family, you are not even as good as a pair of maids? ”

"Huh?"

Lin Anluo's face turned red when he was squeezed by Chen Wu, and he opened his mouth, but he was speechless for the third time.

Although he wanted to say that it was not so, he just didn't dare to nod rashly.

How could it be so coincidental...... He sighed like this, looked up and saw Chen Wu's smiling expression, and immediately understood, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Is it interesting that the general is playing Lin like this?" ”

"How can it be called a joke?"

Chen Wu's face was full of puzzlement, and he asked solemnly: "It is General Lin who has spoken first, and he is willing to pay the price in exchange for General Ben to let you go." First of all, the weapons and horses were not allowed, and they would have been replaced by Zhao'an, but they couldn't, and now they don't even want to send a pair of maids. The one who really plays the general is General Lin, right? I didn't expect that the Lin family, who had eight major valves, would be stingy to this point! ”

He snorted, making Lin Anluo's face redder and redder.

Dian Yong and the others, who were half-intelligible next to him, were puzzled by Lin Anluo's reaction. The previous two conditions were simply difficult, and it was almost impossible to close the deal. They had expected this. But why this last seemingly simple condition. Lin Anluo refused to agree?

The big families of the empire came and went. Isn't it normal to send maids to each other?

Lin Anluo still smiled bitterly and said, "Since General Tiangong is so familiar with my Lin family, he must know the reason, so why should I say more." ”

Estimating that the fire was almost over, Chen Wu nodded and said: "The third lady of the Lin family regards that pair of maids as sisters, it is said that the locust plague in Taiping County the year before last, the fifth prince of the empire, Qian Minghao, inspected on behalf of the sky. After seeing the Lin family, he was very moved, and hinted at asking for it before leaving, but was rejected by the third lady without hesitation. The five princes didn't give face, but I'm afraid that it will be difficult for General Lin to want this face! ”

Listening to the first sentence, Lin Anluo could still maintain his composure. can hear the allusions of the five princes behind, Lin Anluo's face is not good-looking.

Very few people know about the incident the year before last. Because it involved the prince, the Lin family had also strictly ordered their subordinates to block the news afterwards and not allow it to spread it indiscriminately. Even at the top of the Lin Mansion, not everyone knew about it. This kind of secrecy. How did a thief who was hundreds of miles away find out?

He had been suspecting that Chen Wu was too familiar with the Lin family. Now as soon as the matter of the five princes is spoken......

This day the general of the Gong. What is sacred?

Thinking of Chen Wu's trebuchet and his record of rampaging through Longshan Mansion in a short period of time, Lin Anluo believed that there was probably an amazing force behind Chen Wu who was supporting, maybe it was some great family in the empire. Although I can't see much of it yet, I can already faintly find a trace of vein.

If this is the case, then this rebellion in Taiping County is unusual.

Lin Anluo didn't know that Chen Wu knew more than this about the third miss of the Lin family. If nothing else, it was intentional. At this moment, in the face of his heartfelt question, Chen Wu just smiled faintly and avoided talking: "Look, Ben Jiang has said a long time ago that you can't get what you want!" ”

Chen Wu didn't want to say it, and Lin Anluo couldn't help it.

"As the general said, it seems that Lin has no way to leave in advance."

He sighed again, his face a little disappointed, but he secretly changed his mind in his heart.

There are benefits to not leaving!

After his previous identity was revealed, he was anxious to offer conditions to redeem himself, because he was worried that Chen Wu would not understand the status of the Lin family and treat him as an ordinary official general. Now that he found that Chen Wu was hiding very deeply, he didn't look like an ordinary thief, so he naturally didn't worry. Moreover, if you stay in this gang of thieves, you may be able to dig out the hidden force behind it.

With this information, the previous defeat is enough to be written off, and the Lin family will definitely make every effort to protect him!

However, Lin hopes to write a letter to report safety, so as not to worry about Wu An's family. Of course, the content general can send someone to review it at will. ”

"This matter is accurate, General Lin is free to do so."

………

Accepting Lin Anluo's request to meet was just a small episode on the march.

Because of the delay in completely clearing the battlefield, and the wounded along the way slowing down the journey, Chen Wu's main force of the rebel army returned two days later than the officers and soldiers of the first wing.

However, the shock caused by it is more than that!

When the mighty Rebels and the elite of the Good Friends returned with almost the same number of prisoners, or a little more, the entire army of displaced people was a sensation. The emperor of the past, which one is not majestic, how have you ever seen so many dejected captives with burns on their bodies?

For a time, many hungry and half-dead homeless people got up from the ground to look strange.

The officers and troops at the head of Longshan City were even more gloomy, and their morale was low to the freezing point.

Because Taiping County had no strength to threaten them in a short period of time, the Rebels and the Good Friends Association were not in a hurry to attack the city immediately. After re-encamping, the army rested for half a day. At the same time, the leaders of the two sides held a banquet to celebrate the victory of Xiayang Valley, and the horse bandits and heroes from all walks of life who defected were also invited. The banquet seemed to be very lively, but Chen Wu and Wang Huifang, the leader of the Good Friends Association, knew that this celebration banquet was not the intention of the drunkard.

The real purpose of both sides is to take the opportunity to determine the specific distribution ratio of the seizures.

When it comes to equipment that is enough to arm a brigade, both the Taiping Rebels and the Good Friends Association covet it. Although it was said in advance that it would be divided equally, after some disputes, Chen Wu finally relied on the strong performance of the Taiping Righteous Army to get more shares.

The first is the war horse.

Chen Wu's emphasis on the horse team is known to the entire Taiping Rebels, although they have not yet recruited enough qualified riders, but after capturing Longshan, they will definitely be able to recruit some in this big city. Therefore, as many as one hundred and sixty war horses were rowed away by him in one go, nearly a hundred.

In this way, Chen Wu had more than 400 horses of all colors in his hands alone. Feeding them concentrate every day is a staggering amount of consumption.

Among them, half of them are local horses, which have not been trained, and are not good at speed, size and endurance, so they can only carry people or pull carts. The remaining two hundred are the real war horses. But even this is very rare, and many rebellious rebels have not been able to pull out a two-hundred-man horse team from the beginning of the incident to the extermination.

After the war horse, there was the distribution of weapons and armor.

In the Battle of Xiayang Valley, the two sides jointly captured 3,300 swords, bows and crossbows, plus about 2,400 sets of armor. For these gains, Chen Wu took 1,700 swords and 1,300 sets of leather armor. After the war horses took a lot of advantage, these were basically divided equally between the two sides. Xu Maodian and Wang Huifang of the Good Friends Association were talking to him a little bit almost in units of ten, and Chen Wu couldn't do anything.

However, in addition to the battle of Xiayang Valley, the battle of Xu Shizhong under Longshan City also eliminated and captured more than 600 officers and soldiers!

Since this battle was the main force of the righteous army, and Xu Shizhong commanded the whole process, it stands to reason that the harvest should also belong to the righteous army alone. It's a pity that in the end, he borrowed 200 Buddhist soldiers from the Good Friends Association, and Wang Huifang forcibly demanded a piece of the pie under the pretext of killing and wounding dozens of people.

After all, the other party was helping, and Elder Xiang Hua also personally led the team to fight with the officials and soldiers, and Chen Wu couldn't deny it in front of everyone. In the end, it could only be at the cost of giving up Lin Anliu's set of bright light armor, plus fifty sets of leather armor, which could be regarded as paying the dividends due to the allies.

Of course, Chen Wu still made a lot of money.

After taking care of it, in the battle under Longshan City, the rebels can still recover at least 400 sets of usable leather armor. The weapons are enough to choke, the battle between the official army and the rebel army is too fierce, and many weapons are curled blades, gaps and even broken, which cannot be compared with the almost intact change of hands in the Xiayang Valley.

In the end, only about 300 swords could still be used, and the rest had to be reforged.

The gains of the two battles combined, Chen Wu's Taiping Rebels obtained a total of 2,000 swords and at least 1,700 sets of standard leather armor!

When the partition was completed, the people of the Taiping Righteous Army happily pulled the weapons and armor back to their camp with a cart, and all the soldiers of the Righteous Army were red-eyed. You must know that from the beginning of the army to the present, the real combat strength of the rebel army is only two battalions: the Taiping Battalion with 500 people, and the Volunteer Battalion with more than 1,000 people. These swords and armor captured at the moment are enough to rearm two battalions, and there is still a surplus!

The strength of the rebels skyrocketed overnight, completing the leap of changing shotguns for guns!

Looking at the swords and armor in this car, Chen Wu was also very excited. From the beginning of the army in Changshan Town, he was limited by the lack of weapons and armor, and was even forced to use bamboo guns and paper armor. For the first time, the rebels outnumbered the soldiers.

In addition to the fact that training and generals are still insufficient, the time has come for another expansion of the army.

As long as he captures Longshan, Chen Wu will use this as a basis to recruit troops and pull out a force that is truly effective and large enough to capture the entire Taiping County.

In this regard, the Good Friends Association has the same idea as the Taiping Rebels. Since their foundation is much deeper than that of the rebels, they are not short of people, but they just can't get weapons and armor. Now that there are so many captures, I can't wait to open Longshan overnight and pull out thousands of Dharma Protector Buddha soldiers in one go.

Compared to the rebels, they seem to be even more impatient!

As soon as it was dawn the next day, the Good Friends Association had already sent people to coordinate and ask both sides to launch a siege together. This time, the strength of the attack was not comparable to that of the previous days.

After the first battalion of grain recruitment consumed two waves of rolling wood and stones of the officers and soldiers, the two sides coincidentally sent real elites. (To be continued......)
