On the Liangshan Gathering Hall, Chao Gai, Song Jiang, and Wu Yong circulated a note to each other.

After reading it, Chao Gai looked confused, but Wu Yong still had a confident smile on his face, putting on an expression that I had already seen through everything.

Chao Gai asked Song Jiang, "Brother Xian, who sent this note?" ”

Song Jiang was still pondering, and said slowly: "Brother, this note was tied to the arrow shaft by the Zhu family army and shot on our ship. ”

"Zhu Long actually wants to exchange two captured leaders for the wives and sisters of the Hua Rong brothers, it's really too deceitful!" Chao Gai threw the note on the ground and stepped on it twice.

Song Jiang looked at Chao Gai and said in surprise: "Where did my brother say this?" Hua Xiaomei is Qin Ming's wife, or is she a matchmaker made by me, people want to reunite husband and wife, how can we stop it? It doesn't make sense! ”

Chao Gai was speechless, stunned for a while, and said: "Then Mrs. Hua can't be sent out, Brother Hua Rong is loyal to Liangshan, and now he is still suffering in Zhujiazhuang, if we give his wife to the enemy, won't it make the brothers feel cold and make the world's teeth cold?" ”

"Of course not!" Song Jiang couldn't say anything.

"People can only be replaced, so who shall we change?" Dai Zong asked.

"The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat!" Song Jiang also looked uncertain, and looked at Chao Gai: "Brother, what do you say?" ”

Chao Gai said in his heart: Whatever I do, it's all your subordinates anyway, and my brothers have all surrendered!

He wasn't stupid, he shook his head, "This matter has to be decided by the virtuous brother!" ”

"What do you see?" Chao Gai didn't take the blame, Song Jiang had to look at Wu Yong with deep meaning.

Wu Yong shook the banana fan, felt a few fiery gazes, and looked back, it was Zhang Shun and Tong Wei and Tong Meng - one was Zhang Heng's own brother, and the last two were Li Jun's younger brothers.

This is an offending thing! But Song Jiang gave him the ball, and he couldn't help but take it.

After a deep groan, he frowned and said, "Let's talk to Zhu Jiajun first, and see if you can make a counteroffer!" ”

Can this still be a bargain? Buy cabbage?

Everyone was stunned!

……

In the camp of the Zhu family's army, Zhu Long was shirtless, brandishing a flying dragon spear on the school field, and there were gun shadows in all directions, dancing impermeable, like a big windmill, and the guards next to him stood far away, not daring to approach.

Just kidding, an iron guy of more than forty pounds, turning it like this, touching it is a broken tendon and a broken bone!

Zhu Biao came, stood on the side and watched, waited for a while, and saw that Zhu Long didn't look like he was going to stop, shook the note in his hand, and shouted: "Big brother, Liangshan has a letter!" ”

"They've been tied to arrows too?" Zhu Long stopped, his well-developed muscles were well-defined and full of power, like a carved stone statue.

Zhu Biao nodded, "Yes, it was shot on Ruan Xiaowu's boat, and he sent someone to send it!" ”

"It seems that there is not even the most basic trust between everyone! If the two countries do not fight each other, why can't we and Liangshan send an envoy? Hey, the world is declining, and people's hearts are not ancient! ”

Zhu Long sighed and said: "You also write a letter and shoot it back with an arrow, just say that it is impossible to exchange one flower girl for three captured leaders, you can only exchange one for one." ”

"If they're sincere, they can sit down and talk. Not only do we have a leader, but we also have a lot of captives, all of whom can be exchanged. ”

Zhu Biao frowned and said, "But what will Liang Shan exchange with us?" ”

"Horses!" Zhu Long showed a sly smile, "According to reliable information, there are more than eight hundred horses on Liangshan!" ”

"So much?" Zhu Biao was speechless, and then shook his head again, "They won't be willing to change." ”

Every Song Dynasty person knows the preciousness of horses.

In the border trade with Western Xia and Daliao, a good horse was sold to the mainland, at least quadrupling - one hundred!

If you buy a horse from the horse supervisor of the Great Song Dynasty, good guy, five hundred guan!

The field is state, the stallion and mare are state, the salaries of personnel are state, and the price of bred horses is twenty times higher than in the international market and five times higher in the domestic market!

It is too much for state-owned enterprises to do this!

Therefore, the 800 horses in Liangshan are a huge wealth, and they are also scarce military materials and strategic resources.

Song Jiang has always had great ambitions, and it is impossible not to know the importance of war horses. In fact, in the original book, Song Jiang sent Yang Lin and others to the north many times to buy horses.

Even for the sake of a thousand-mile horse, he did not hesitate to start a war with Zengtou City.

Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for Song Jiang to give up these horses.

But Zhu Long knew that now is not a normal situation, and now Liangshan is short of food and people, and those horses are useless, but they have to eat a lot of food every day.

Fought twice with Zhujiazhuang, losing nearly 6,000 minions, and now Liangshan must be very short of cannon fodder.

If you exchange minions and grain for horses, maybe the poor and crazy Song Jiang will agree.

Besides, Liangshan is surrounded by water, why do you want horses, it's not convenient to get in and out! Liangshan is a small area, there is no pasture, it depends on feed, and now people can't afford to raise it, how can they afford to raise horses?

After listening to Zhu Long's analysis, Zhu Biao also felt that it made sense, and nodded, "Big brother, you continue to practice, I'm going to write a letter!" ”

"Wait, last time Qin Ming sent three brothers to Liangshan to inquire about the news, and they were arrested, and we have to redeem them too."

"Understood!"

……

After a few days of mutual testing, Zhu Long and Liang Shan finally confirmed each other's sincerity, and the two sides agreed to meet and negotiate.

The location is set in a pavilion by the lake, the people of Liangshan call it "Qinglin Pavilion", and the lakeside hotel is denied and excluded, because the situation in the house is complicated, and the other party is afraid of doing tricks.

Qinglin Pavilion is high, the surrounding is empty, the vision is good, and he is not afraid of the other party's hidden ambush soldiers, and he will drop the cup.

There are four men on each side, and no weapons are allowed.

It's noon today.

On the side of Zhujiazhuang, Zhu Long, Zhu Biao, Luan Tingyu, and Xie Zhen were present.

All four wore iron armor inside, wide robes on the outside, and short knives tied to their thighs.

Zhu Hu and Qin Ming were five hundred paces away with two hundred cavalry, and as soon as there was any trouble, they immediately rushed over.

Qin Ming knew that Zhu Long had spent so much time and energy, risking his life, and negotiating with Liang Shan in order to get his wife back, for which he was grateful, and his loyalty to Zhu Long had risen to a new level, and he did his best.

But Zhu Long felt that Song Jiang and the others were in greater danger, after all, the four of them, Luan Tingyu was a top master, and if he fought on foot, especially in hand-to-hand combat, he also had combat effectiveness that was not inferior to that of the top master, Zhu Biao was between first-rate and second-rate, and Xie Zhen was also a second-rate master.

And Song Jiang, Wu Yong and others on the other side are all scumbags of war. Dong Ping, the only first-class master, is still an undercover agent on his side

If you want to, you can do a decapitation operation.

Of course, if he does this, then his reputation will be completely ruined, and no one will believe that the road to hegemony will be difficult in the future.

So, Zhu Long would never do that.
