But seeing that those bitter refugees squeezed out smiles one by one because of Lu Hongshan's promise, Lu Bu did not give up but was not in a hurry, standing quietly at the west gate, waiting for Lu Hongshan to come over.

And when Lu Buqi, Lu Hongshan and the others returned to the inner city and returned directly to the inner fort of the Lu family, it took more than two hours for Lu Yang, Lu Kang and others to calculate the situation clearly.

"The remaining 24,000 men of the Guling army have all surrendered, and the remnants of the Longyuan army still have 20,000 remnants of the Longyuan army retreating from the south gate under Yun Zhen's die-hard subordinates, and Lu Zhang is pursuing them with 20,000 troops. Lu Yang handed the battle report to Lu Hongshan, and Lu Hongshan raised his eyebrows: "What about the Yang Ze Army? They fought a lot with the Longyuan Army, but they shouldn't have suffered a lot of damage, right?"

Lu Kang responded: "The 20,000 Yangze soldiers are still stationed in the same place, saying that they want to redeem their two young masters, otherwise they will leave a big scar on my Hongshan County to the death!"

"Yangze's sergeant is still a little bloody, much stronger than Guling's!" Lu Hongshan nodded slightly: "Yangze...... Wang Weiwu is dead, maybe what he promised at the beginning will be fulfilled, right? Lu Kang, you can't wait for this matter, before you come, he has already gone to see Wang Chen and Wang Bo. ”

Yes, within two hours of returning to the inner fort, Lu Buqi came to the place where the two brothers, Wang Chen and Wang Bo, were imprisoned.

Seeing Lu Buqi, the reactions of the two brothers were diametrically opposite, Wang Chen was very calm, with appropriate sadness on his face, while Wang Bo, who had an obvious slap mark on his face, looked very frightened, and looked at Lu Buqi's eyes full of fear and a trace of hatred that could not be erased.

"Your father is dead, I'm sorry for that!" Lu Buqi looked at the two of them frankly.

"Fake!" Wang Bo muttered.

Wang Chen nodded: "You don't have to be sorry, I still have to thank you for killing Yun Zhen!"

Lu Buqi pinched the tip of his nose lightly: "Although the battle situation outside has not completely calmed down, I know that your Yangze's army of twenty or thirty thousand is a troublesome matter." If all of them are killed, my Hongshan's strength will also be greatly damaged, just put it back in Yangze, I'm afraid it will still become a future trouble in the future, I will follow your brother's opinion. ”

"They will definitely come in and save us!" Wang Bo's eyes lit up, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.

looked at his brother like an idiot, but Wang Chen chuckled: "This problem is easy to solve!"

"Oh?" Lu Bu gave up his sword and raised his eyebrows lightly: "Let's hear it!"

Wang Chen shrugged his shoulders lightly: "Let me go, I will take people away to ensure that the 20,000 army will not cause any more trouble to your Hongshan County." ”

When Wang Bo heard this, he also nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, let us go." We took them back to Yangze and promised...... I promise not to cause trouble for you......"

"That's it?it's that simple?" Lu Bu didn't abandon the bird or bird Wang Bo, just looked at Wang Chen: "Although your Yangze Army is a subsidiary of the Longyuan Army, this war has also caused at least 10,000 casualties among the soldiers and civilians of my Hongshan County, don't you have any other more appropriate ideas? Wang Chen, don't you think it's better for you to tell me the manuscript directly, and be open and honest?"

Wang Chen smiled slightly bitterly: "Thirty percent of the tax, plus 10,000 private soldiers all year round." ”

"Wang Chen!" Wang Bo glared at Wang Chen angrily: "How can you promise such a big thing?"

"Shut up for me!" Wang Chen gritted his teeth and slapped it, slapping it on Wang Bo's face, which was the slap mark that Lu Buqi saw.

Wang Bo, who was slapped all over the ground looking for teeth, muttered something with tears, but he was helpless.

Lu Buqi pinched the tip of his nose lightly: "I heard that a few years ago, your father also promised my grandfather that! But after only one year, he regretted it!"

"I'm not my father, I don't want to end up like this!" Wang Chen looked at Lu Buqi steadily: "He was originally a very far-sighted person, but after sitting in Yangze, he suffered some gains and losses." In fact, I know his choice, pay 20% of the tax to the Hou Mansion, get the protection of the Hou Mansion, and break with your Lu family, now it seems that he is very wrong!"

"He's wrong!" Lu Buqi shrugged his eyebrows: "But you are also wrong, you use your father's original promise to save the current situation, isn't it a little cheap? ”

Wang Chen gritted his teeth: "Forty percent of the taxes are paid, and the supply of private soldiers is the same!"

Lu Buqi waved his hand: "I don't like to cut the price like Lao He and Bu Bu talk about buying and selling with them, point directly, pay sixty percent of the tax, supply private soldiers as usual, hand over the east and west customs defense of the Horse Dao Gorge, and stand strategic support." ”

Wang Chen smiled bitterly: "There is no problem with the handover of customs defense, and there is no problem with standing strategic support, but this tax is too ...... If you want to give the royal family 30%, won't my Lu family only have 10%?"

"In this situation, isn't it a joke to pay taxes to the royal family?" Lu Buqi said: "If one day, the Yunze royal family has enough prestige again, my Lu family will naturally give up 20% of the tax to you to deal with the royal family, this is my promise that Lu will not give up, and it will definitely retain its value than your father's promise!"

"Thank you!" Wang Chen nodded heavily: "Deal!"
