Section 193 Death of a Famous General
"But His Royal Highness the Pope has nothing to do with the Suzaku Legion! And you do, for this reason, you even dare to use more than 2,000 people to run to Ping'an Town to save people! To be honest, as far as I am concerned, I am very impressed by your courage!" He said solemnly: "Since you can save them once with blood and fire, why can't you save them again with gold coins?"
"Damn! I've rescued people and rescued the problem!" I said funny, "Are you using strong words?"
"Our princess said that if you don't agree, they will be sent to work in the mines for war crimes! This money is astronomical to others, but our princess says that to you, it is only a drop in the bucket!" The messenger said: "I think none of us would want to see these brave soldiers, who have to go to the mines to work as slaves because of your stinginess, when they have shed their blood for their country until the last moment? Think about what your family thinks, think about what happens to the captives, think about how the troubadours sing?"
"My day~!" I'm really depressed! But when I think about it, there's really nothing I can do! People are clearly going to slaughter my piece of fat! If I don't agree, what will the people in my family say about me? I'm so rich that I don't want to spend a little to save my own soldiers! Cold-blooded animals, misers! It may even develop into a group of captive family members. Go to my territory every day and cry out about my shamelessness! Then I will become the enemy of the Han people in less than a month, and at most half a year, my reputation will be stinking in all corners of the mainland! A troubadour may be a miser lord Long XX with one mouth! I rely on it! Thinking of the seriousness of the consequences, I will be clothed! Alas! This is the sorrow of the rich!
"Have you thought about it?" the messenger asked with a happy look on my sad face.
"More~less~ money?" I popped out these words from between my teeth!
"Your generosity and wisdom will spread throughout the continent, my lord!" said the messenger, though beautiful, but I smiled from his eyes. But I saw a hint of pride!
I endured it~! I took the list from his hand and looked at it! I almost felt the urge to kill! I saw that it was written
There are a total of 5,227 ordinary soldiers, and the normal ransom on the mainland is ten gold coins per person. Ten times the price. 100 gold coins per person, for a total of 522,700 gold coins!
116 mid-level officer centurions, the normal ransom on the mainland, one hundred gold coins per person, ten times the price, 1,000 gold coins per person, a total of 116,000 gold coins!
9 high-ranking officers, 9 commanders, the normal ransom on the mainland, 1,000 gold coins each. Ten times the price is 10,000 gold coins per person, for a total of 90,000 gold coins!
In addition, there are 3 officers with the title of earl, and the normal ransom on the mainland is 10,000 gold coins per person, and ten times the price, 100,000 gold coins per person. A total of 300,000 gold coins!
17 officers with the title of viscount, the normal ransom on the mainland, 1,000 gold coins per person, ten times the price, 10,000 gold coins per person, a total of 170,000 gold coins!
41 officers with the title of baron, the normal ransom on the mainland, five hundred gold coins per person, ten times the price, five thousand gold coins per person, a total of two hundred thousand and five thousand gold coins!
A total of 1,399,200 coins!
Plus room and board, medical expenses, and more! a total of 1.5 million gold coins!
"Some of the officers here are also nobles! you can't have received money twice, have you?" I asked angrily!
"Yes, Your Excellency!" the envoy said in a heartfelt manner, "Since they have two identities, they will receive two portions of money!
"But the rules of the continent are that land is only calculated according to titles!" I argued!
"That's the general rule of the mainland! We have the princess's own rules!" the messenger said: "The princess's rules are different from the rules of the mainland, otherwise she wouldn't have asked for a ransom ten times the year, don't you say?"
"Yes!" I said hatefully, "I admit it!" When you go back, tell your princess that I will ask her ten times more for this account in the future!"
After driving out this bastard messenger, it only took three or five days for the Varna side to release the captives of the Vermilion Bird Legion! I went to visit them with Long Qingyun, and most of them were carried back! However, it seemed that the food and medical conditions were good! There was no abuse!
"Fifth brother, thank you so much!
When Long Qingyun learned from the Wana soldiers who escorted them that I had paid the money to ransom them, he was greatly moved and said, "Don't say anything, how much is it?
"Really?" I asked, confused, "You mean to reimburse me?"
"Of course, why do you look down on our Vermilion Bird Legion? Tell you, although you don't have as much money as your Blue Dragon Legion, you still have the money to pay the ransom!" Long Qingyun said in a tone of indifference!
"That's good! Sheng Hui 1.5 million!" I said with a smile!
"How much?" he cried out, "one and a half million?
"The Seventh Princess threatened me and said that she would either pay ten times the ransom or send them to mine!" I said with a wry smile!
"But this is *** outrageous, right?" Long Qingyun shouted: "You won't bargain with her, or ask them to come to me? Why are you stupid to pull them for you?"
"Won't you give it?" I said depressedly: "The Seventh Princess threatened to redeem me for her deeds, and asked the troubadours to sing it all over the continent!
"Well, if you want to say that she is likely to do it!It seems that you have offended her miserably!" Long Qingyun said: "But does this have anything to do with you? Why do you have to ask you for money?"
"She said you are poor! You can't get oil and water!" I said even more depressedly!
"That's right! Who told you to be so rich? Now, I think it's time for you to take it!" Long Qingyun said without conscience!
"But you just said you were going to reimburse me?" I was just about to ask him for money! and he disappeared so suddenly!
After resting for a few more days, I probably felt that Vanna had not had a major reaction? I was transferred back by my grandfather! At the same time, Ishihara and his 200,000 remnants of the defeated army were also returned! Speaking of which, Ishihara's luck was no worse than that of my cousin! He had an army of 100,000 men, and because he had to escort the spoils of war, he was not in the camp at that time, but on the way back to White Tiger City! So not only did he escape the catastrophe by luck, but he also kept a lot of looted property! So he lost the battle and made a fortune! My cousin and I won the battle but lost our fortunes! I lost 1.5 million ransoms! Long Qingyun had to pay the boss a sum of military expenses to compensate for this loss! Pointing to the king's reward was useless at all! However, I think that after I go back, their treatment will be completely different!
Sure enough, my cousin was severely praised by the king! He was given the title of earl, and he was rewarded by a great general order for the whole army! But when he returned home, he heard that he was called his father, and my uncle gave him a good shot! It is estimated that he will not be able to see anyone for at least a few months, and he will not be able to get out of bed! My uncle even came to my house to thank me! I am so happy that my mother is almost unaware of the northeast and southwest! My grandfather is also very praised!
As for Ishihara's second wolf, although he was scolded by the king for being bloody, his head was still saved by the intercession of Princess Ishihara, the archbishop, and his father! It was only lowered by one level! And it didn't seem to have been mistreated after returning home! After all, it was a property that required 100,000 people to be escorted? He robbed dozens of large and small towns! I heard that the king actually spared him because of the gifts that Ishihara had brought back! Poor Dao was deeply convinced by this remark!
The situation on our side was calm for a while! However, the war between Varna and Kasia had only reached its climax! The second prince was indeed a super rice bucket, and we had been fighting for more than a month, and he still didn't gnaw down the Rock Legion on his side! What kind of elite troops they were, they were also exhausted after several months of strong attacks! Under the pleading of all the soldiers, especially the wind in the ears of Chunlang, the little dog of the people, the second prince was finally gracious! Permission to rest for two days!
Originally, the Rock Legion was about to die, and if the Seventh Princess was here, it would never stop no matter what, but the idiot of the second prince didn't understand it at all, so he had to give the defenders of the Rock Legion a chance to breathe! But things are so coincidental! Maybe the second prince is lucky and shining, so that he is crooked! Marshal Balaton is like a bowstring that has been tightened, when Varner attacks and fights, don't look at him crawling and vomiting blood, but he is not dead, not only that, but he can also command the battle, especially the four boost morale! Only after the offensive of the Vanna army stopped, he completely collapsed with this slackening! Before it was night, he was killed! The old marshal was finally worthy of his oath, and on the day he was there, Vanna would never have been able to break through Xingruo Fort! Unfortunately, now that he is dead, he probably has a premonition that Xingruo Fort is not guaranteed, so he left only two words of last words before the temporary - break through!
That night, under the leadership of the old marshal's last son, Tie Shi, the remaining 100,000 defenders of the Rock Legion, with the body of the old marshal, suddenly slaughtered out of Xingruo Castle! Varna never imagined that one day, the breakthrough of the Rock Legion was completely unexpected by the Varna army! Unprepared, they were killed by the Rock Army and fled in all directions! Some of the mourning soldiers were sure to win, and these grief-stricken Rock Army soldiers chased and killed the Vana army in a mess like crazy! It wasn't until almost dawn that he marched away under the leadership of the new commander-in-chief, Tie Shi! No one dared to stop the army of more than one million vana!
